23、ill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read forthe third time, you should check what you have written. When most people think of the word “education”, they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers

24、 26 stuff “education”. But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not 27the stuffings of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the 28of what is in the mind. “The most important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hoc

25、king, the 29Harvard philosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him”. And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, “I know, learn from me.” He said, rather, “Look into your own selves and find the 30of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only yo

26、u can kindle (點燃) to a 31.” In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of 32, and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really “knows” geometry—because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out. So many of the discussions and 33about

27、 the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they 34what should “go into” the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I don’t have a chance to le

28、arn anything,” was clearly expressing his 35with the sausage-casing view of education. Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choice

29、s given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through care fully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words

30、 in the bank more than once. Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” But parents can’t handle it when teenagers put this36into practice. Now technology has become the new field for the age-old battle between adults and their freedom-s

31、eeking kids. Locked indoors, unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends, teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to socialize with their peers. What they do online often37what they might otherwise do if their mobility weren’t so heavily38in the age of helicopt

32、er parenting. Social media and smart-phone apps have become so popular in recent years because teens need a place to call their own. They want the freedom to39their identity and the world around them.Instead of40out, they jump online. As teens have moved online, parents have projected their fears o

33、nto the Internet, imagining all the41dangers that youth might face—from42strangers to cruel peers to pictures or words that could haunt them on Google for the rest of their lives. Rather than helping teens develop strategies for negotiating public life and the risks of43with others, fearful parents

34、 have focused on tracking, monitoring and blocking. These tactics (策略) don’t help teens develop the skills they need to manage complex social situations,44risks and get helpwhen they’re in trouble. “Protecting” kids may feel like the right thing to do, but it45the learning that teens need to do as t

35、hey come of age in a technology-soaked world. A) assess I) mirrors B) constrained J) philosophy C) contains K) potential D) explore L) sneaking E) influence M) sticking F) interacting N) undermines G) interpretation O) violent H) magnified Section B

36、 Directions:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the in formation is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with

37、a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Inequality Is Not Inevitable [A] A dangerous trend has developed over this past third of a century. A country that experienced shared growth after World War II began to tear apart, so much so that when the Great

38、Recession hit in late 2007, one could no longer ignore the division that had come to define the American economic landscape. How did this “shining city on a hill” become the advanced country with the greatest level of inequality? [B] Over the past year and a half, The Great Divide, a series in Th

39、e New York Times, has presented a wide range of examples that undermine the notion that there are any truly fundamental laws of capitalism. The dynamics of the imperial capitalism of the 19th century needn’t apply in the democracies of the 21st. We don’t need to have this much inequality in America.

40、 [C] Our current brand of capitalism is a fake capitalism. For proof of this go back to our response to the Great Recession, where we socialized losses, even as we privatized gains. Perfect competition should drive profits to zero, at least theoretically, but we have monopolies making persistentl

41、y high profits. C.E.O.s enjoy incomes that are on average 295 times that of the typical worker, amuch higher ratio than in the past, without any evidence of a proportionate increase in productivity. [D] If it is not the cruel laws of economics that have led to America’s great divide, what is it?

42、The straightforward answer, our policies and our politics. People get tired of hearing about Scandinavian success stories, but the fact of the matter is that Sweden, Finland and Norway have all succeeded in having about as much or faster growth in per capita (人均的) incomes than the United States and

43、with far greater equality. [E] So why has America chosen these inequality-enhancing policies? Part of the answer is that as World War II faded into memory, so too did the solidarity it had created. As America triumphed in the Cold War, there didn’t seem to be a real competitor to our economic mod

44、el. Without this international competition, we no longer had to show that our system could deliver for most of our citizens. [F] Ideology and interests combined viciously. Some drew the wrong lesson from the collapse of the Sovietsystem in 1991. The pendulum swung from much too much government th

45、ere to much too little here.Corporate interests argued for getting rid of regulations, even when those regulations had done so much to protect and improve our environment, our safety, our health and the economy itself. [G] But this ideology was hypocritical (虛偽的). The bankers, among the strongest

46、 advocates of laissez-faire (自由放任的) economics, were only too willing to accept hundreds of billions of dollars from the government in the aid programs that have been a recurring feature of the global economy since the beginning of the Thatcher-Reagan era of “free” markets and deregulation. [H] Th

47、e American political system is overrun by money. Economic inequality translates into political inequality, and political inequality yields increasing economic inequality. So corporate welfare increases as we reduce welfare for the poor. Congress maintains subsidies for rich farmers as we cut back on

48、 nutritional support for the needy. Drug companies have been given hundreds of billions of dollars as we limit Medicaid benefits. The banks that brought on the global financial crisis got billionswhile a tiny bit went to the homeowners and victims of the same banks’predatory (掠奪性的) lending practices

49、. This last decision was particularly foolish. There were alternatives to throwing money at the banks and hoping it would circulate through increased lending. [I] Our divisions are deep. Economic and geographic segregation has immunized those at the top from the problems of those down below. Like

50、 the kings of ancient times, they have come to perceive their privileged positions essentially as a natural right. [J] Our economy, our democracy and our society have paid for these gross inequalities. The true test of an economy is not how much wealth its princes can accumulate in tax havens (庇護

51、所), but how well off the typical citizen is. But average incomes are lower than they were a quarter-century ago. Growth has gone to the very, very top, whose share has almost increased four times since 1980. Money that was meant to have trickled (流淌) down has instead evaporated in the agreeable clim

52、ate of the Cayman Islands. [K] With almost a quarter of American children younger than 5 living in poverty, and with America doing so little for its poor, the deprivations of one generation are being visited upon the next. Of course, no country has ever come close to providing complete equality o

53、f opportunity. But why is America one of the advanced countries where the life prospects of the young are most sharply determined by the income and education of their parents? [L] Among the most bitter stories in The Great Divide were those that portrayed the frustrations of the young, who long t

54、o enter our shrinking middle class. Soaring tuitions and declining incomes have resulted in larger debt burdens. Those with only a high school diploma have seen their incomes decline by 13 percent over the past 35 years. [M] Where justice is concerned, there is also a huge divide. In the eyes of

55、the rest of the world and a significant part of its own population, mass imprisonment has come to define America—a country, it bears repeating, with about 5 percent of the world’s population but around a fourth of the world’s prisoners. [N] Justice has become a commodity, affordable to only a few

56、. While Wall Street executives used their expensive lawyers to ensure that their ranks were not held accountable for the misdeeds that the crisis in 2008 so graphically revealed, the banks abused our legal system to foreclose (取消贖回權(quán)) on mortgages and eject tenants, some of whom did not even owe mone

57、y. [O] More than a half-century ago, America led the way in advocating for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations in 1948. Today, access to health care is among the most universally accepted rights, at least in the advanced countries. America, despite the impleme

58、ntation of the Affordable Care Act, is the exception. In the relief that many felt when the Supreme Court did not overturn the Affordable Care Act, the implications of the decision for Medicaid were not fully appreciated. Obamacare’s objective—to ensure that all Americans have access to health care—

59、has been blocked: 24 states have not implemented the expanded Medicaid program, which was the meansby which Obamacare was supposed to deliver on its promise to some of the poorest. [P] We need not just a new war on poverty but a war to protect the middle class. Solutions to these problems do not

60、have to be novel. Far from it. Making markets act like markets would be a good place to start. We must end the rent-seeking society we have gravitated toward, in which the wealthy obtainprofits by manipulating the system. [Q] The problem of inequality is not so much a matter of technical economic

61、s. It’s really a problem of practical politics. Inequality is not just about the top marginal tax rate but also about our children’s access to food and the right to justice for all. If we spent more on education, health and infrastructure (基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施), we would strengthen our economy, now and in the futur

62、e. 注意：此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。 46. In theory, free competition is supposed to reduce the margin of profits to the minimum. 47. The United States is now characterized by a great division between the rich and the poor. 48. America lacked the incentive to care for the majority of its citizens as it found

63、no rival for its economic model. 49. The wealthy top have come to take privileges for granted. 50. Many examples show the basic laws of imperial capitalism no longer apply in present-day America. 51. The author suggests a return to the true spirit of the market. 52. A quarter of the world’s pris

64、oner population is in America. 53. Government regulation in America went from one extreme to the other in the past two decades. 54. Justice has become so expensive that only a small number of people like corporate executives can afford it. 55. No country in the world so far has been able to provi

65、de completely equal opportunities for all. Section C 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 correspon

66、ding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. Air pollution is deteriorating in many places around the world. The fact that public parks in cities become crowded as soon as the sun shines proves that people long to breathe in green, open spaces. They do not all know what they are seeking but they flock there, nevertheless. And, in these surroundings, they are generally both peaceful and peaceable. It is
