听力原文： Bilingual Education Good morning. Today we will talk about bilingual education in the United States. (1) Bilingual education is an educational program that provides instruction in both the students’ native language and the language of the host country. In the United States, bilingual programs give instruction in English and some other language, such as Spanish or Vietnamese. Bilingual education became federal law in 1974. According to the Bilingual Education Act of 1974, public schools must provide equal educational opportunities for students who speak languages other than English. This law was renewed in 1984. The laws recommended that federal money be given to states so that they could implement bilingual programs and teacher training, classes in students’ native language, and English as a Second Language (ESL in short). Some states had begun their own bilingual programs before they were required to do so by federal law. Massachusetts became the first state to demand bilingual education in 1971. The bilingual programs in Massachusetts later became a model for other states. The ways in which bilingual programs are implemented by the different states differ greatly. One of the most common models of bilingual education in the United States is called transitional bilingual education. In this kind of program, students learn ESL while taking all their other classes in their native language. Students must stop taking class in their native language after some period of time, usually three years. After the three-year time limit, students start taking all their classes in English only. The reasoning for this model is that native language classes should serve as a transition to English. The main goal of a transitional program is to teach students English as quickly as possible. Another kind of program is called maintenance bilingual education. Maintenance programs do not have the same time limit as transitional programs do. (3) Students can continue taking content-area classes in their native language for as long as they need to or want to. The idea behind a maintenance program is that a child’s native language is worth maintaining and developing. In fact, research has shown that students who know their first language well will be more successful in learning how to read and write a second

language. (4)0ne of the problems with maintenance programs is that they are more expensive than transitional programs. Two-way bilingual education is a program which offers second language instruction to students whose native language is English, while at the same time providing ESL to students who speak a language other than English. For example, English-speaking students might take courses in Spanish while Spanish-speaking students take ESL classes. Both groups would continue to take their other content courses in their native language. In some classes, students may work together using both languages. (5)The purpose of two-way bilingual education programs is to make all students bilingual. Finally, there is immersion bilingual education. In these programs, students take all-English courses for a year or two before they begin to take courses in their native language. In other words, they are immersed in English for the first year or two. Research has not shown that this kind of approach is more effective than the other models already described. Many students feel overwhelmed during the first two years. (6) While struggling to learn English, they lost valuable time that should be spent learning important concepts in math and science. Bilingual education is based on principles that promote the acquisition of English in the best possible manner. It assures continual development of the students’ intelligence and academic growth and the acquisition of English. The students’ development does not need to stop until enough English is available for academic growth. Bilingual education has always been and continues to be a controversial subject. It is controversial for a variety of reasons. Some people fear or worry that a language other than English is given some attention. (9)The history of “English-only” politics dates back to the early days of the country. Some people are angered by the freedom with which today’s newcomers speak their native tongue in public. Some critics argue that bilingual education places an unfair burden on schools, and that taxpayers’ money should not be spent teaching immigrants in their native language. They reason that all people in the United States should have to read, write, and speak English. In addition, they point out that bilingual programs haven’t always been successful in producing literate bilingual students. Many people in favor of bilingual education agree that some bilingual programs are better than others, though not all of them are successful. However, research has proven that students who learn well in their first language will learn how to read and write a second language more easily. In addition, students who learn important concepts in math and science in their native language will be able to understand these concepts much more easily when they move into all-English courses. Some supporters of bilingual education argue that the real reason that critics are opposed to these programs is that these programs really work. (10)Bilingual proponents say that critics of bilingual education don’t really want immigrants to be successful at school. The controversy over bilingual education continues. In 1998, a law was passed in California that made bilingual education against the law. According to this law,teachers are not allowed to teach students in any language other than English. Students who speak a language other than English are allowed to take one year of ESL. After that,they must take all their course in regular English. It is not clear yet what the effects of the new law in California will be. Some states are waiting to see what will happen next in California;

others are already putting forward similar laws. Whatever happens, bilingual education will certainly continue to be controversial. That’s all for today’s lecture. Thank you.

Oh, here they are.Policeman: M’ hm... Thank you... Oh... Yes, they’re all right. Now, were there any passengers in the car?Mr Simpson: Er yes, er my wife and a friend — a young lady. My wife was sitting in the back and her Mend in the front passenger seat.Policeman: Where are they now?Mr Simpson: The ambulance has just taken them to hospital. You spoke to the ambulance driver before he set off. Did he say anything about the young lady?Policeman: He said that her injuries looked worse than they really were. The other woman -- that’d be your wife, I as same -- appeared to be suffering from shock.Mr Simpson: Yes, I know. They advised her to go to hospital for a cheek-up, just in case...Policeman: Mm. Was the young lady wearing her seat-belt?Mr Simpson: No, unfortunately. I told her to put it on, but she couldn’t adjust it. I didn’t think it was worth stoppin the car because we were only going a few

miles.Policeman: Did she go through the windscreen?Mr Simpson: No, she was very lucky. But she hurt her leg on tile dashboardPoliceman: Mm. It could’ve been much worse. Now, sir, will you tell me in your own words what happened?Mr Simpson: Oh... Well, as you can see, I was travelling along this main road when suddenly er the other car came out of er that side street. It all happened so quickly. I just didn’t see him until he hit me.Policeman: I’ve just spoken to the other motorist and he says that you were speeding.Mr Simpson: What?Policeman: Is this true?Mr Simpson: That’s a lie. My wife and Becky’ll tell you that I stopped at the pedestrian crossing just down there. You can see it’s only fifty yards away. I could hardly have reached thirty miles an hour by the time I got here. Goodness knows what would’ ye happened if I’d been going faster.Policeman: The other driver said that he stopped at the junction. When he pulled out there was nobody coming, so you must at the junction. When he pulled out there was nobody coming, so your must have been speeding.Mr Simpson: Well, it’s not true. I’ve witnesses to prove it. He couldn’t have stopped. The lighting is very good here along this stretch.Policeman: Yes. He should have stopped. Why did you stop at the pedestrian crossing?Mr Simpson: There were two old ladies on it.

I expect you’ll want to go to the hospital to see how your wife is.Mr Simpson: Yes, er I must go there now. I told my wife to wait there until I could collect her in a taxi.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTDirections: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. At the end of each news item, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the questions.

听力原文： U. N. Secretary General Kofi Annan has lashed out at critics of the world body’s role in the Iraq oil-for- food program, describing some of the charges as outrageous and exaggerated. Mr. Annan categorically rejected allegations that his son may have been involved in any illegal activities. Asked Wednesday about the effect

of the oil-for-food scandal on the world body’s reputation, the secretary general rose immediately to the defense of his son. Kojo Annan worked in the mid-90s for Cotecna, a Swiss-based company chosen to monitor what Iraq was importing under the humanitarian program. Speaking at a news conference, Mr. Annan said there is nothing to the accusations that his son somehow benefited illegally from oil-for-food contracts. “He joined the company even before I became secretary general, as a 22-year old, as a trainee in Geneva and then he was assigned to work for them in West Africa, mainly in Nigeria and Ghana,” he said. “Neither he nor I had anything to do with co0tracts for Cotecna. That was done in strict accordance with U. N. rules and financial regulations.”

16． What’s Kofi Annan’s attitude towards the criticism of U. N. ‘s role in the Iraq oil-for-food program?

A．Angry. B．Apologetic. C．Surprised. D．Indifferent.

D．U. N. did not monitor effectively what was imported into Iraq under the program

正确答案：A

PART II READING COMPREHENSION (30 MIN)Directions: In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Critics and supporters of the United Nations have sometimes seen worlds apart. But since last year, almost all of them, whether multilateralist or unilateralist, American or European, have come to agree that the organization is in crisis. This week, a blue ribbon panel commissioned by the body’s secretary- general, Keri Annan, released its report on what to do about it. The U. N. ‘s sorry state became most obvious with the Iraq war. Those favoring the war were furious that after a decade of Security Council resolutions, including the last-chance Resolution 1441 threatening “serious consequences” if Iraq did not prove its disarmament, the U. N. could not

agree to act. Anti-war types were just as frustrated that the world body failed to stop the war. But Iraq was not the U. N. ‘s only problem. It has done little to stop humanitarian disasters, such as the ongoing horror in Sudan. And it has done nothing to stop Iran’s and North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. Recognizing the danger of irrelevance, Mr. Annan last year told a 16-member panel, composed mainly of former government ministers and heads of government, to suggest changes. These fall broadly into two categories: the institutional and the cultural. The former has got most of the headlines -- particularly a call for changing the structure of the Security Council. But changes in the U. N. ‘s working practices are crucial too. Everyone agrees that the Security Council is an unrepresentative relic: of its 15 seats, five are occupied by permanent, veto-wielding members (America, Russia, China, Britain and France) and ten go to countries that rotate every two years and have no veto. But that the council’s composition is a throwback to the world order immediately after the Second World War has been agreed on for decades, without any success in changing it. Japan and Germany, the secondand thirdbiggest contributors to the U.N. budget, believe they are entitled to permanent seats. So does India, the world’s second-most- populous country, and Brazil, Latin America’s biggest. Unlike in previous efforts, these four have finally banded together to press their case. And they are joined in spirit by the Africans, who want two seats for their continent. But each aspirant has opponents. Italy opposes a permanent seat for Germany, which would make Italy the only biggish European power. It instead proposes a single seat for the European Union, a non- starter since this would require Britain and France to give up theirs, and regional institutions cannot be U.N. members under the current U.N. Charter. Spanish-speaking Mexico and Argentina do not think Portuguese-speaking Brazil should represent Latin America, and Pakistan strongly opposes its rival India’s bid. As for potential African seats, Egypt claims one as the representative of the Muslim and Arab world. That would leave Nigeria, the continent’s most populous country, and South Africa, which is richer and a more stable democracy, fighting for the other. The panel has proposed two alternatives. The first would give six countries (none is named but probably Germany, Japan, India, Brazil and two African countries) permanent seats without a veto, and create three extra non-permanent seats, bringing the total number of council members to 24. The second, which would expand the council by the same number of seats, creates a new middle tier of members who would serve for four years and could be immediately re-elected, above the current lower tier of two-year members, who cannot be re-elected. The rivals to the would-be permanent members favor this option. While Security Council reform may be the most visible of the proposals, the panel has also shared its views on the guidelines on when members may use force legally. Under the U. N. Charter, they can do so in two circumstances only: Article 51 allows force in a clear case of self-defense, and Chapter permits its use when the Security Council agrees. While the panelists have not proposed major changes to these two parts of the Charter, they have offered refinements. Though the Charter was written to govern war between countries, the panel argues that even without revision, Chapter W lets the Security Council authorize force for more controversial, modem reasons like fighting terrorists and

intervention in states committing humanitarian horrors. It even considers “preventive” wars against serious but non-imminent threats potentially justifiable. But the panel also says any decision to use force must pass five tests: the threat must be grave; the primary purpose must be to avert the threat; force must be a last resort; means must be proportional; and there must be a reasonable chance that force will succeed without calamitous consequences. All common-sense stuff, but the panel proposes making these tests explicit (if subjective and unofficial), thus raising the quality of debate about any decision to go to war. On top of this, the report urges the U.N. to make better use of its assets in the fight against terrorism. One of the obstacles to an effective counter-terrorism strategy has been U.N. members’ inability to agree on a definition of terrorism. The panel tries to help by defining it as “any action that is intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants”; Arab countries may continue to press for exemptions in the case of “foreign occupation”. The report also deals with what it sees as a possible “cascade of nuclear proliferation” in the near future. It recommends creating more incentives for countries to stop enriching uranium.

18．

正确答案：C

解析：推断题。由第二段可知联合国一方面没有对伊拉克采取有效的措施，未能满足支持对伊战争一派的期望；另一方面也没有有效地阻止包括伊拉克战争在内的一系列humanitarian disasters(人类的灾难)，未能达到反战一派的期望。选项C是对原文的同义改写，只是将原句进行了简化，故正确。选项A和B均与原文意思直接相反，选项D原文未提及。

19．

正确答案：D 解析：推断题。第四段提到了几种改革安理会的方案；第五段第一句意为“每一种方法都有反对的人”，由此推断，每种改革方案都有人反对。选项C通过替换关键词对原文同义改写， negative forces对应原文中的opponents，each attempt to change it对应原文中的aspirant，故正确。A以偏概全，原文说是恢复以前的世界秩序，选项说是导致世界秩序的混乱；B原文未提及；原文说现在这四个国家联合起来，这和以前是不同的，可见以前四个国家单独行动，而选项C说这些国家经常联合起来行动，与原文不符。

20．

正确答案：D

解析：推断题。第六段提到，改变安理会结构的方法有两个：一是增加6个无否决权的常任理事国，以及3个非常任理事国；二是增加一个所谓的middle tier of members，数量和第一种方案相同，就是6加3等于9，可见D正确。文

中说这种middle tier of members任期可达四年，但可以随时重新选举，并未提到他们是否有否决权，因此A、B、C均不正确。

21．

正确答案：B 解析：语义题。原文第七段说这个16人小组没有对宪章进行大的修改(major changes)，但是进行了refinements，根据前后的逻辑关系，可见offered refinements意为进行了小的修改，故选B。

22．

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。题目询问16人小组报告的内容不包括哪一项，B来自第六段，C来自第九段，D来自第十段，只有A原文中没有提到。

23．

正确答案：B

解析：主旨题。文章自始至终都是针对联合国现有问题提出的改革建议，可见B正确。文章重点在如何解决问题而不在分析问题，故排除A；c原文中并没有提到；D只在原文第二段和结尾部分提到，属于细节而非主旨。

35． 什么叫做“古典的”?“古典”一字在古代是指第一流的诗人，从字源上说是从“等级”这个词演化出来的。古人说“古典的”，等于今人说“头等的”；在近代则是指可以作为典范的作家或作品，因此古代希腊拉丁的文学被称为“古典的”。我们所说的“古典的”实际上包括“古代的”与“典范的”两个意思。可是自从文艺复兴以来，所谓古典的精神、古典的作品，其内容与涵义远较原义广大、具体。

正确答案：What does “classics” mean? In ancient times, “classics” referred to first-rate poets, and this word had evolved etymologieally from the word “class”. What ancient people referred to with “classics” was what we describe as “top class” today. In modern times, however, it referred to the writers or works that could serve as models, therefore the Greek and Roman literature was called “classics”. Today when we use this word, we mean both “aneient works” and “model pieces”. But since the Renaissance, the so-called classic spirit and the classic works incorporate content and connotations far more comprehensive and concrete than the original.

text into Chinese.

36． Wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, if some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it! Something of the awfulness, even of Death itself, is referable to this. No more can I turn the leaves of this dear book that loved, and vainly hope in time to read it all. No more can I look into the depths of this unfathomable water, wherein as momentary lights glanced into it, I have had glimpses of buried treasure and other things submerged.

正确答案： 每个人对别的人都是个天生的奥秘和奇迹，此事细想起来确实有些玄妙。晚上在大城市里我总要郑重其事地沉思，那些挤成一片一片的黑洞洞的房屋，每一幢都包含着它自己的秘密，每一幢的每一间也包含着它自己的秘密那数以十万计的胸膛中每一颗跳动的心所想象的即使对最靠近它的心也都是秘密!从此我们可以领悟到一些令人肃然竦然的东西，甚至死亡本身。我再也不可能翻开这本我所钟爱的宝贵的书，而妄想有时间把它读完了。我再也无法窥测这渊深莫测的水域的奥秘了。我曾趁短暂的光投射到水上时瞥见过埋藏在水下的珍宝和其它东西。

正确答案： Importance Should Be Attached to Chinese Handwriting Nowadays an increasing number of people are using computers to write emails and cell phones to send text messages. As a result, it has become more and more difficult for many of them to write Chinese characters properly. There is a growing concern that modern communication devices are threatening the Chinese handwriting tradition that is a characteristic of Chinese culture and civilization. As far as I am concerned,

greater importance should be attached to Chinese handwriting. To begin with, Chinese handwriting carries the beauty of Chinese culture. As one famous Chinese professor stated: “One can only appreciate the beauty of ancient Chinese literature through the complex Chinese characters”. That is to say, the complex Chinese characters are the manifestation of traditional Chinese aesthetics. Different from other languages, Chinese characters are composed of strokes which carry so much information, such as the delicacy, diversity and diligence which are regarded as reflections of Chinese culture and personality. To many foreigners who are fascinated with Chinese culture, one of the most important lessons in China is learning to write Chinese characters, which to them is such an entity of charm and mystery. Thus to promote Chinese handwriting is to preserve the national culture. Secondly, people need be reminded of the essence of their cultural heritage by attaching greater importance to Chinese handwriting. Despite the introduction of modernization brought by cell phones or computers, our ancestors* heritage root should never be forgotten. Fortunately, some actions have been taken recently in China. In order to rescue the tradition, a letter writing campaign has begun. Aiming to encourage people to send more handwritten letters, campaign organizers have established the first letter museum in China and their efforts have encouraged people to pay much more attention to Chinese handwriting which before, to some extent, was ignored. Thirdly, to advocate Chinese handwriting is to improve one’s health. It is well known that health problems may occur as a result of the repetition of hand movements and forcefulness on a keyboard. According to a survey conducted by a hospital in China, nearly 80% of computer users have suffered at least once from strained wrist and back caused by typing. In addition, frequent contact with computers or cell phones exerts a higher risk on one’s sight level and immune system which caused by radiation from the equipment. Therefore handwriting is obviously a safer way to communicate. In conclusion, with a long and splendid history, Chinese characters play a unique role in preserving the national identity. People should attach greater importance to Chinese

handwriting, so as not to lose the beauty of this art of Chinese culture and civilization. 涉及知识点：WRITING
