3、回答题：
    A)You’re driving your car home from work or school．And something goes wron9．The engine stalls out at lights，holds back as you go to pass．It needs a tune?up——and soon．Where do you go?The library．You can take out an auto repair manual that tells step—by—step how to tune up your make and model．Or your tennis game has fallen off．You’ve lost your touch at the net．Where do you go?The library——for a few books on improving your tennis form．
    B)“The library!”you say．“That’s where my teacher sends me to do一ugh—homework．"Unfortunately, I’ve found that’s exactly the way many people feel．If you’re among them．you’re denying yourself the easiest way to improve yourself,enjoy yourself and even cope with life．My first suggestion for making the most of your library is to do what I did，read and read and read．For pleasure——and for understanding．
    C) If it’s TV that keeps you from cultivating this delicious habit，I can offer a sure remedy．Take home from the library a stack of books that might look interestin9．Pile them on the TV set．Next time you are tempted to turn on a program you really don’t want to see，reach for a book instead．
    D)Over the years，people collect a mental list of books they mean to read．If you don’t have such a list，here is the suggestion．Take from the library some of the books you might have enjoyed dramatized on TV,like Remargue’s All Quiet on the Western Front，Clavell’s Shegun，Tolkien’s The Hobbit，or Victor Hugo’s Les Mise Rables．If you like what you read、you can follow up with other satisfying books by the same authors．
    E)Some people in their reading limit themselves to current talked—about best sellers．Oh，what they miss!The library is full of yesterday’s best sellers；and they still make compelling reading today． Some that I've enjoyed：A．B．Guthrie’s The Big Sky，Carl Van Doren’s Benjamin Franklin，Mari Sandoz’s．Old Jules，and Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead．
    F) How do you find these or any other books you’re looking for?It’s easy—with the card catalog． Every time I go to the library——and I go more than once a week——I invariably make a beeline to the card catalog before anything else．It’s the nucleus of any public library．The card catalog lists every book in the library by：1．author；2．title；3．subject．Let’s pick an interesting subject to look up．I have always been fascinated by astronomy．You’11 be surprised at the wealth of material you will find under“astronomy”to draw upon．And the absorbing books you didn’t know existed on it．
CAUTION：Always have a pencil and paper when you use the card catal09．
    G) Once you jot down the numbers of the books you are interested in，you are ready to find them on the shelves．Libraries call the shelves “the stacks”．In many smaller libraries，which you’ll be using，the stacks will be open for you to browse．To me there is a special thrill in tracking down the books I want in lhe stacks!For invariably,I find books about which I knew nothin9，and these often turn out to be the very ones l need．You will find the same thing happening to ypu when you start to browse in the stacks．“A learned mind is the end product of browsing．”CAUTION：If you take a book from the stack s to your work desk，do not try to return it to its proper place．That’s work for the experts．If you replace it incorrectly,the next seeker won’t be able to find it．
    H) Some of the brightest and best．informed men and women in America are the librarians who specialize in providing reference help．Introduce yourself State your problem．And be amazed at how much he p you will receive．CAUTION：Don’t waste the time of this expert by asking silly questions you ought to solve yourself．Save the reference librarian for the really big ones．
    I) You shot：ld also learn to use the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature．This green—bound index is me of the most useful items in any library．It indexes all the articles in the major magazines，including newspaper magazine supplements．Thus it provides a guide to the very latest expert information of any subject that interests you．So if you want to do a really first—class job，find out which magazines your library subscribes to，then consult the Reader's Guide and track down recent articles on your subject．When you use this wonderful tool effectively,you show the mark of a real scholar．
    J) Since you can take most books home，but not magazines，take full notes when using the latter． Many libraries today provide a reprographic machine that can quickly copy pages you need from magazines and books．Ask about it：If you are working on a project of some size which will require repeated library visits，keep a small notebook in which you record the identification numbers of the books you will be using frequently．This will save you valuable time，because you won’t have to consult the card catalog or search aimlessly through the stacks each time you visit for material you seek．Sol fie of the very best books in any library are the reference books，which may not be taken home．Learn what topics they cover and how best to use them，for these books are wonderful repositories (储藏室、资料库)of human knowledge．
    K) Your library can give you help on any subject．It can even be your business and legal advisor．How many times have you scratched your head over how to get a tax rebate(折扣)on your summer job?You，11 find guides to that．Want to defend yourself in traffic couP?Find out how in legal books at the library．
    L) Library Projects Can Be Fun and Rewardin9．Here are a few ideas：
1．What are your roots?Trace your ancestors．Many libraries specialize in genealogy．
2．Did George Washington sleep nearby?Or Billy the Kid?Your library’s collection of local history books can put you on the trail．
3．Cook a Polynesian feast．Or an ancient Roman banquet．Read how in the library’s cook books．
4．Take up photography．Check the library for consumer reviews of cameras before you buy．Take out books on lightin9，composition，or darkroom techniques or—you name it!
    M)If you haven，t detected by now my enthusiasm for libraries，let me offer two personal notes．I'm particularly pleased that in recent years two beautiful libraries have been named after me：a small community library in Quakertown，Pennsylvania，and the huge research library located at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley．And I like libraries so much that I married a librarian．
The nucleus of any public library is the car，d catalog．

4、Questions are based on the following passage.
        A newstudy shows a large gender gap on economic policy among the nation's professional economists,a divide similar to the gender divide found in the general public.
        "Asa group, we are pro-market," says Ann Marl May, co-author of the study anda University of Nebraska economist. "But women are more likely to acceptgovernment regulation and involvement in economic activity than our malecolleagues. "
        "It'svery puzzling," says free market economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. "Not a .day goes by that Idon't ask myself why there are so few women economists on the free market side."
        A nativeof France, de Rugy supported government intervention (干预) early in her life butchanged her mind after studying economics. "We want many of the samethings as liberals--less poverty, more health care--but have radicallydifferent ideas on how to achieve it. "
        IAberaleconomist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic Policy andResearch, says male economists have been on the inside of the profession,confirming each other's antiregulation views. Women, as outsiders, "aremore likely to think independently or at least see people outside of theeconomics profession as forming their peer group," he says.
        Thegender balance in economics is changing. One-third of economics doctorates (博士学位) now go to women."More diversity is needed at the table when pubflc policy isdiscussed," May says.
        Economistsdo agree on some things. Female economists agree with men that Europe has toomuch regulation and that Wal-mart is good for society. Male economists agreewith their, female colleagues that military spending is too high.
        Thegenders are most divorced from each other on the question of equality forwomen. Male economists overwhelmingly think the wage gap between men and womenis largely the result of indi~fluals' skills, experience and voluntary choices.Female economists overwhelmingly disagree by a margin of 4-to-1.
        Thebiggest disagreement: 76% of women say faculty opportunities in economics favormen. Male economists point the opposite way: 80% say women are favored or theprocess is neutral.
What is the finding of the new study?
A．The gender divide is a big concern of the general public.
B．Men and women understand economics quite differently.
C．The gap between male and female economists needs to be closed.
D．Male and female economists disagree widely on economic policy,


5、 根据材料，回答题：
        With the unemployment rate topping 8% and the government $16 trillion in debt, it's easy to question why taxpayers are spending $ 2.5 billion on an SUV- sized Mars rover (探测车) named Curiosity, which landed successfully on the red planet in the early hours of Monday.  Couldn't this money go toward something closer to home, such as providing shelter for the homeless or building roads? Yes, it could. But this kind of thinking is shortsighted.
        The Mars project is the latest manifestation of America's restless desire to answer previously unanswerable questions and take on new challenges. To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy, America does things like this not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
        Getting the probe down safely on Mars, after a 350 million mile journey, was certainly no easy feat. Virtually all the technology used in the approach and landing was new, or used in new ways. Once settled in, Curiosity should be a particularly awe-inspiring project. It is designed to shed light on big questions: Could life forms have ever existed on Mars? Might they still exist? And are we alone in the universe ?
        When budgets are tight, space projects such as Curiosity come in for particular abuse. They are often portrayed as complicated flights of odd ideas. They are not. They are both inspirational and immensely practical. Technology is, after all, an engine of economic growth. If that is a goal, as well it should be, why not support a program that makes science exciting and showcases some of the most interesting things that. technology can do? One of the main benefits of projects like this one is to promote a confident America. Throughout history, nations that explore, and engage in science, lead the world. Beginning in the 15th century, for example, European nations sent sailors around the globe and provided the impetus for thinkers such as Copernicus, Galileo and Newton to invent modern physics and astronomy. Not coincidentally, Europe came to dominate the world until the dawn of the 20th century.
        Those who would slash space program budgets apparently haven't learned history's lessons and don't see the great possibilities that the future presents--possibilities reflected in every image transmitted back from the rover.

Why is it easy to question why taxpayers' money is spent on Curiosity?
A．Because Curiosity costs too much money.
B．Because the economic situation is depressed.
C．Because the money should be spent on the people.
D．Because Curiosity is meaningless and impractical.


6、Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questionsare based on the following passage.
What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some
school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think about what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools, perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up to a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
Which of the following can best sum up the first paragraph?
A．The importance of doing well at school.
B．Using school performance to help to choose a career.
C．The importance of being good at all subjects.
D．The indirect value of school work.
