First two hours now three hours — this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight at least at some major US airports with increasingly massive security lines
Americans are willing to tolerate timeconsuming security protocols in return for increased safety The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea provides another tragic reminder of why But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process And it should Wasted time is a drag on Americans＇ economic and private lives not to mention infuriating
Last year the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried Enhanced security measures since then combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago＇s O＇Hare International It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become — but the lines are obvious
Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carryon bags to avoid checkedbaggage fees though the airlines strongly dispute this
There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire Enroll more people in the
PreCheck program PreCheck is supposed to be a winwin for travelers and the TSA Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk saving time for everyone involved TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck
It has not gotten anywhere close to that and one big reason is sticker shock Passengers must pay 85 every five years to process their background checks Since the beginning this price tag has been PreCheck＇s fatal flaw Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level But Congress should look into doing so directly by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways
The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines It is long past time to make the program work
21 The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 is mentioned to
[A] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks
[B] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide
[C] highlight the necessity of upgrading major US airports
[D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection
22 Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports
[A] New restrictions on carryon bags
[B] The declining efficiency of the TSA
[C] An increase in the number of travellers
[D] Frequent unexpected secret checks
23 The word expedited (Liner 4 Para 5) is closet in meaning to
[A] quieter
[B] cheaper
[C] wider
[D] faster
24 One problem with the PreCheck program is
[A] a dramatic reduction of its scale
[B] its wronglydirected implementation
[C] the government’s reluctance to back it
[D] an unreasonable price for enrollment
25 Which of the following would be the best title for the text
[A] Less Screening for More Safety
[B] PreCheck – a Belated Solution
[C] Getting Stuck in Security Lines
[D] Underused
PreCheck Lanes

The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers wrote Queen Liliuokalani Hawaii＇s last reigning monarch in 1897 Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society Sadly all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanity＇s view of the cosmos
At issue is the TMT＇s planned location on Mauna Kea a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaiians as the piko that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world＇s most powerful telescopes Rested in the Pacific Ocean Mauna Kea＇s peak rises above the bulk of our planet＇s dense atmosphere where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity
Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environmentalists have long viewed their presence as disrespect far sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation
Some blame for the current controversy belongs to astronomers In their eagerness to build bigger telescopes they forgot that science is not the only way of understanding the world They did not always prioritize the protection of Mauna Kea＇s fragile ecosystems or its holiness to the islands＇ inhabitants Hawaiian culture is not a relic of the past it is a living culture undergoing a renaissance today
Yet science has a cultural history too with roots going back to the dawn of civilization The same curiosity to find what lies beyond the horizon that first brought early Polynesians to Hawaii＇s shores inspires astronomers today to explore the heavens Calls to disassemble all telescopes on Mauna Kea or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy and Hawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are where we come from and where we are going Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes
The astronomy community is making compromises to change its use of Mauna Kea The TMT site was chosen to minimize the telescope’s visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact To limit the number of telescopes on Mauna Kea old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetimes and their sites returned to a natural state There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars
26 Queen Liliuokalani’s remark in Paragraph 1 indicates
[A] her conservative view on the historical role of astronomy
[B] the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society
[C]the regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times
[D] her appreciation of star watchers’ feats in her time
27 Mauna Kea is deemed as an ideal astronomical site due to
[A] its geographical features
[B] its protective surroundings
[C] its religious implications
[D] its existing infrastructure
28 The construction of the TMT is opposed by some locals partly because
[A] it may risk ruining their intellectual life
[B] it reminds them of a humiliating history
[C] their culture will lose a chance of revival
[D] they fear losing control of Mauna Kea
29 It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that progress in today’s astronomy
[A] is fulfilling the dreams of ancient Hawaiians
[B] helps spread Hawaiian culture across the world
[C] may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture
[D] will eventually soften Hawaiians’ hostility
30 The author’s attitude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one of
[A] severe criticism
[B] passive acceptance
[C] slight hesitancy
[D] full approval

Robert F Kennedy once said that a country＇s GDP measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile With Britain voting to leave the European Union and GDP already predicted to slow as a result it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do By most recent measures the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world with record low unemployment
and high growth figures If everything was going so well then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into wellbeing sheds some light on that question Across the 163 countries measured the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens Rather than just focusing on GDP over 40 different sets of criteria from health education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing
While all of these countries face their own challenges there are a number of consistent themes Yes there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash but in key indicators in areas such as health and education major economies have continued to decline Yet this isn’t the case with all countries Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society income equality and environment
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success the world looks very different
So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations as a measure it is no longer enough It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes – all things that contribute to a person＇s sense of wellbeing
The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our wellbeing and for growth But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving wellbeing rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress
31 Robert F Kennedy is cited because he
[A]praised the UK for its GDP
[B]identified GDP with happiness
[C]misinterpreted the role of GDP
[D]had a low opinion of GDP
32 It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that
[A]the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern
[B]the UK will contribute less to the world economy
[C]GDP as the measure of success is widely defied in the UK
[D]policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP
33 Which of the following is true about the recent annual study
[A]It excludes GDP as an indicator
[B]It is sponsored by 163 countries
[C]Its criteria are questionable
[D]Its results are enlightening
34 In the last two paragraphs the author suggests that
[A]the UK is preparing for an economic boom
[B]high GDP foreshadows an economic decline
[C]it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP
[D]it requires caution to handle economic issues
35 Which of the following is the best for the text
[A]High GDP But Inadequate Wellbeing a UK lesson
[B]GDP figures a Window on Global Economic Health
[C] Robert F Kennedy a Terminator of GDP
[D]Brexit the UK’s Gateway to Wellbeing

In a rare unanimous ruling the US Supreme Court has overturned the corruption conviction of a former Virginia governor Robert McDonnell But it did so while holding its nose at the ethics of his conduct which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari Automobile from a company seeking access to government
The high court’s decision said the judge in Mr McDonnell’s trail failed to tell a jury that it must look only at his official acts or the former governor’s decisions on specific and unsettled issues related to his duties
Merely helping a giftgiver gain access to other officials unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials is not corruption the justices found
The court did suggest that accepting favors in return for opening doors is distasteful and nasty But under antibribery laws proof must be made of concrete benefits such as approval of a contract or regulation Simply arranging a meeting making a phone call or hosting an event is not an official act
The court’s ruling is legally sound in defining a kind of favoritism that is not criminal Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution of bribery The basic compact underlying representative government wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns
But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives not the courts to ensure equality of access to government Officials must not be allowed to play favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an individual or group provides a campaign donation or a personal gift This type of integrity requires willenforced laws in government transparency such as records of official meetings rules on lobbying and information about each elected leader’s source of wealth
Favoritism in official access can fan public perceptions of corruption But it is not always corruption Rather officials must avoid double standards or different types of access for average people and the wealthy If connections can be bought a basic premise of democratic society – that all are equal in treatment by government is undermined Good government rests on an understanding of the inherent worth of each individual
The court’s ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption and official favoritism
36 The underlined sentence(Para1) most probably shows that the court
[A] avoided defining the extent of McDonnell’s duties
[B] made no compromise in convicting McDonnell
[C] was contemptuous of McDonnell’s conduct
[D] refused to comment on McDonnell’s ethics
37 According to Paragraph 4 an official act is deemed corruptive only if it involves
[A] concrete returns for giftgivers
[B] sizable gains in the form of gifts
[C] leaking secrets intentionally
[D] breaking contracts officially
38 The court’s ruling is d on the assumption that public officials are
[A] allowed to focus on the concerns of their supporters
[B] qualified to deal independently with bureaucratic issues
[C] justified in addressing the needs of their constituents
[D] exempt from conviction on the charge of favoritism
39 Wellenforced laws in government transparency are needed to
[A] awaken the conscience of officials
[B] guarantee fair play in official access
[C] allow for certain kinds of lobbying
[D] inspire hopes in average people
40 The author’s attitude toward the court’s ruling is
[A] sarcastic
[B] tolerant
[C] skeptical
[D] supportive

[C] Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared a publishing firm approached Dickens to write a story in monthly installments as a backdrop for a series of woodcuts by the thenfamous artist Robert Seymour who had originated the idea for the story With characteristic confidence Dickens successfully insisted that Seymour＇s pictures illustrate his own story instead After the first installment Dickens wrote to the artist and asked him to correct a drawing Dickens felt was not faithful enough to his prose Seymour made the change went into his backyard and expressed his displeasure by committing suicide Dickens and his publishers simply pressed on with a new artist The comic novel The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club appeared serially in 1836 and 1837 and was first published in book form in 1837

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET (10 points)
The growth of the use of English as the world`s primary language for international communication has obviously been continuing for several decades
(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future
Complex international economic technological and culture change could start to diminish the leading position of English as the language of the world market and UK interests which enjoy advantage from the breath of English usage would consequently face new pressures Those realistic possibilities are highlighted in the study presented by David Graddol
(47)His analysis should therefore end any selfcontentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities
David Graddol concludes that monoglot English graduates face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual youngsters from other countries are proving to have a competitive advantage over their British counterparts in global companies and organizations Alongside that(48)many countries are introducing English into the primaryschool curriculum but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages
If left to themselves such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resources in languages such as Spanish Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other language such as Japanese French and German spreads
(49)The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to UK`s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly &13 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related explores earn up to &10 billion a year more As the international education market expands the recent slowdown in the number of international students studying in the main Englishspeaking countries is likely to continue especially if there are no effective strategic policies to prevent such slippage
The anticipation of possible shifts in demand provided by this study is significant(50) It gives a basis to all organization which seek to promote the learning and very different operating environment That is a necessary and practical approach In this as in much else those who wish to influence the future must prepare for it
(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future

As is symbolically mirrored in the caricatures there emerge two circumstances carrying sharp contrast implications In the first cartoon a fashionable boy lying in his sling chair comfortably is looking at his whole shelf of books and saying I possess a multitude of books On the contrary the second portrayal demonstrates an industrious student who is sitting in front of the desk and makes a realistic plan that he would like to finish reading 20 books in total within a year
The author of the cartoon invites us to focus on a truth that endless plans paralyze actions There are simply no great success and achievements in the world that are not achieved through hard work and diligence Similarly a dream can be realized when you decide to work for it and persist continuously Everyone desires to succeed but not all his dreams can come true until he works hard to implement his plans People give up their dreams for this or that reason Those whose dreams become true have at least one thing in common that is they always hold fast to their dreams and always keep their feet on the ground Just around us for instance the athletes who gain the gold medals the artists who are prevalent with the public and even the students who enter the university after years of hard study and preparation are all dreamholders
Accordingly to succeed we need to spare no efforts and hold fast to your dreams just as our nation sticks to our Chinese Dream The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide and even some sacrifices are needed but hold on to the end you will find there is no greater happiness than making your dream come true

First two hours now three hours — this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight at least at some major US airports with increasingly massive security lines
Americans are willing to tolerate timeconsuming security protocols in return for increased safety The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea provides another tragic reminder of why But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process And it should Wasted time is a drag on Americans＇ economic and private lives not to mention infuriating
Last year the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried Enhanced security measures since then combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago＇s O＇Hare International It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become — but the lines are obvious
Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carryon bags to avoid checkedbaggage fees though the airlines strongly dispute this
There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire Enroll more people in the
PreCheck program PreCheck is supposed to be a winwin for travelers and the TSA Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk saving time for everyone involved TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck
It has not gotten anywhere close to that and one big reason is sticker shock Passengers must pay 85 every five years to process their background checks Since the beginning this price tag has been PreCheck＇s fatal flaw Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level But Congress should look into doing so directly by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways
The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines It is long past time to make the program work
21 The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 is mentioned to
[A] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks
[B] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide
[C] highlight the necessity of upgrading major US airports
[D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection
22 Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports
[A] New restrictions on carryon bags
[B] The declining efficiency of the TSA
[C] An increase in the number of travellers
[D] Frequent unexpected secret checks
23 The word expedited (Liner 4 Para 5) is closet in meaning to
[A] quieter
[B] cheaper
[C] wider
[D] faster
24 One problem with the PreCheck program is
[A] a dramatic reduction of its scale
[B] its wronglydirected implementation
[C] the government’s reluctance to back it
[D] an unreasonable price for enrollment
25 Which of the following would be the best title for the text
[A] Less Screening for More Safety
[B] PreCheck – a Belated Solution
[C] Getting Stuck in Security Lines
[D] Underused
PreCheck Lanes

The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers wrote Queen Liliuokalani Hawaii＇s last reigning monarch in 1897 Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society Sadly all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanity＇s view of the cosmos
At issue is the TMT＇s planned location on Mauna Kea a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaiians as the piko that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world＇s most powerful telescopes Rested in the Pacific Ocean Mauna Kea＇s peak rises above the bulk of our planet＇s dense atmosphere where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity
Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environmentalists have long viewed their presence as disrespect far sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation
Some blame for the current controversy belongs to astronomers In their eagerness to build bigger telescopes they forgot that science is not the only way of understanding the world They did not always prioritize the protection of Mauna Kea＇s fragile ecosystems or its holiness to the islands＇ inhabitants Hawaiian culture is not a relic of the past it is a living culture undergoing a renaissance today
Yet science has a cultural history too with roots going back to the dawn of civilization The same curiosity to find what lies beyond the horizon that first brought early Polynesians to Hawaii＇s shores inspires astronomers today to explore the heavens Calls to disassemble all telescopes on Mauna Kea or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy and Hawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are where we come from and where we are going Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes
The astronomy community is making compromises to change its use of Mauna Kea The TMT site was chosen to minimize the telescope’s visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact To limit the number of telescopes on Mauna Kea old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetimes and their sites returned to a natural state There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars
26 Queen Liliuokalani’s remark in Paragraph 1 indicates
[A] her conservative view on the historical role of astronomy
[B] the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society
[C]the regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times
[D] her appreciation of star watchers’ feats in her time
27 Mauna Kea is deemed as an ideal astronomical site due to
[A] its geographical features
[B] its protective surroundings
[C] its religious implications
[D] its existing infrastructure
28 The construction of the TMT is opposed by some locals partly because
[A] it may risk ruining their intellectual life
[B] it reminds them of a humiliating history
[C] their culture will lose a chance of revival
[D] they fear losing control of Mauna Kea
29 It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that progress in today’s astronomy
[A] is fulfilling the dreams of ancient Hawaiians
[B] helps spread Hawaiian culture across the world
[C] may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture
[D] will eventually soften Hawaiians’ hostility
30 The author’s attitude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one of
[A] severe criticism
[B] passive acceptance
[C] slight hesitancy
[D] full approval

Robert F Kennedy once said that a country＇s GDP measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile With Britain voting to leave the European Union and GDP already predicted to slow as a result it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do By most recent measures the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world with record low unemployment
and high growth figures If everything was going so well then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into wellbeing sheds some light on that question Across the 163 countries measured the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens Rather than just focusing on GDP over 40 different sets of criteria from health education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing
While all of these countries face their own challenges there are a number of consistent themes Yes there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash but in key indicators in areas such as health and education major economies have continued to decline Yet this isn’t the case with all countries Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society income equality and environment
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success the world looks very different
So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations as a measure it is no longer enough It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes – all things that contribute to a person＇s sense of wellbeing
The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our wellbeing and for growth But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving wellbeing rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress
31 Robert F Kennedy is cited because he
[A]praised the UK for its GDP
[B]identified GDP with happiness
[C]misinterpreted the role of GDP
[D]had a low opinion of GDP
32 It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that
[A]the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern
[B]the UK will contribute less to the world economy
[C]GDP as the measure of success is widely defied in the UK
[D]policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP
33 Which of the following is true about the recent annual study
[A]It excludes GDP as an indicator
[B]It is sponsored by 163 countries
[C]Its criteria are questionable
[D]Its results are enlightening
34 In the last two paragraphs the author suggests that
[A]the UK is preparing for an economic boom
[B]high GDP foreshadows an economic decline
[C]it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP
[D]it requires caution to handle economic issues
35 Which of the following is the best for the text
[A]High GDP But Inadequate Wellbeing a UK lesson
[B]GDP figures a Window on Global Economic Health
[C] Robert F Kennedy a Terminator of GDP
[D]Brexit the UK’s Gateway to Wellbeing

In a rare unanimous ruling the US Supreme Court has overturned the corruption conviction of a former Virginia governor Robert McDonnell But it did so while holding its nose at the ethics of his conduct which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari Automobile from a company seeking access to government
The high court’s decision said the judge in Mr McDonnell’s trail failed to tell a jury that it must look only at his official acts or the former governor’s decisions on specific and unsettled issues related to his duties
Merely helping a giftgiver gain access to other officials unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials is not corruption the justices found
The court did suggest that accepting favors in return for opening doors is distasteful and nasty But under antibribery laws proof must be made of concrete benefits such as approval of a contract or regulation Simply arranging a meeting making a phone call or hosting an event is not an official act
The court’s ruling is legally sound in defining a kind of favoritism that is not criminal Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution of bribery The basic compact underlying representative government wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns
But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives not the courts to ensure equality of access to government Officials must not be allowed to play favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an individual or group provides a campaign donation or a personal gift This type of integrity requires willenforced laws in government transparency such as records of official meetings rules on lobbying and information about each elected leader’s source of wealth
Favoritism in official access can fan public perceptions of corruption But it is not always corruption Rather officials must avoid double standards or different types of access for average people and the wealthy If connections can be bought a basic premise of democratic society – that all are equal in treatment by government is undermined Good government rests on an understanding of the inherent worth of each individual
The court’s ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption and official favoritism
36 The underlined sentence(Para1) most probably shows that the court
[A] avoided defining the extent of McDonnell’s duties
[B] made no compromise in convicting McDonnell
[C] was contemptuous of McDonnell’s conduct
[D] refused to comment on McDonnell’s ethics
37 According to Paragraph 4 an official act is deemed corruptive only if it involves
[A] concrete returns for giftgivers
[B] sizable gains in the form of gifts
[C] leaking secrets intentionally
[D] breaking contracts officially
38 The court’s ruling is d on the assumption that public officials are
[A] allowed to focus on the concerns of their supporters
[B] qualified to deal independently with bureaucratic issues
[C] justified in addressing the needs of their constituents
[D] exempt from conviction on the charge of favoritism
39 Wellenforced laws in government transparency are needed to
[A] awaken the conscience of officials
[B] guarantee fair play in official access
[C] allow for certain kinds of lobbying
[D] inspire hopes in average people
40 The author’s attitude toward the court’s ruling is
[A] sarcastic
[B] tolerant
[C] skeptical
[D] supportive

[B] The runaway success of The Pickwick Papers as it is generally known today secured Dickens＇s fame There were Pickwick coats and Pickwick cigars and the plump spectacled hero Samuel Pickwick because a national figure
[C] Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared a publishing firm approached Dickens to write a story in monthly installments as a backdrop for a series of woodcuts by the thenfamous artist Robert Seymour who had originated the idea for the story With characteristic confidence Dickens successfully insisted that Seymour＇s pictures illustrate his own story instead After the first installment Dickens wrote to the artist and asked him to correct a drawing Dickens felt was not faithful enough to his prose Seymour made the change went into his backyard and expressed his displeasure by committing suicide Dickens and his publishers simply pressed on with a new artist The comic novel The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club appeared serially in 1836 and 1837 and was first published in book form in 1837
[D] Charles Dickens is probably the bestknown and to many people the greatest English novelist of the 19th century A moralist satirist and social reformer Dickens crafted complex plots and striking characters that capture the panorama of English society

[G] After Pickwick Dickens plunged into a bleaker world InOliver Twist he traces an orphan＇s progress from theworkhouse to the criminal slums of London NicholasNickleby his next novel combines the darkness of Oliver Twist with the sunlight of Pickwick The popularity of thesenovels consolidated Dickens＇ as a nationally and internationally celebrated man of letters

The growth of the use of English as the world`s primary language for international communication has obviously been continuing for several decades
(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future
Complex international economic technological and culture change could start to diminish the leading position of English as the language of the world market and UK interests which enjoy advantage from the breath of English usage would consequently face new pressures Those realistic possibilities are highlighted in the study presented by David Graddol
(47)His analysis should therefore end any selfcontentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities
David Graddol concludes that monoglot English graduates face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual youngsters from other countries are proving to have a competitive advantage over their British counterparts in global companies and organizations Alongside that(48)many countries are introducing English into the primaryschool curriculum but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages
If left to themselves such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resources in languages such as Spanish Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other language such as Japanese French and German spreads
(49)The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to UK`s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly &13 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related explores earn up to &10 billion a year more As the international education market expands the recent slowdown in the number of international students studying in the main Englishspeaking countries is likely to continue especially if there are no effective strategic policies to prevent such slippage
The anticipation of possible shifts in demand provided by this study is significant(50) It gives a basis to all organization which seek to promote the learning and very different operating environment That is a necessary and practical approach In this as in much else those who wish to influence the future must prepare for it
(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future

As is symbolically mirrored in the caricatures there emerge two circumstances carrying sharp contrast implications In the first cartoon a fashionable boy lying in his sling chair comfortably is looking at his whole shelf of books and saying I possess a multitude of books On the contrary the second portrayal demonstrates an industrious student who is sitting in front of the desk and makes a realistic plan that he would like to finish reading 20 books in total within a year
The author of the cartoon invites us to focus on a truth that endless plans paralyze actions There are simply no great success and achievements in the world that are not achieved through hard work and diligence Similarly a dream can be realized when you decide to work for it and persist continuously Everyone desires to succeed but not all his dreams can come true until he works hard to implement his plans People give up their dreams for this or that reason Those whose dreams become true have at least one thing in common that is they always hold fast to their dreams and always keep their feet on the ground Just around us for instance the athletes who gain the gold medals the artists who are prevalent with the public and even the students who enter the university after years of hard study and preparation are all dreamholders
Accordingly to succeed we need to spare no efforts and hold fast to your dreams just as our nation sticks to our Chinese Dream The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide and even some sacrifices are needed but hold on to the end you will find there is no greater happiness than making your dream come true

简单审两副图左边图片中学生坐躺椅里悠哉悠哉着许书没说读怕右边图片中位勤奋学生着书仔细读着现实计划着年争取读完20书图表描述参考：As is symbolically mirrored in the caricatures there emerge two circumstances carrying sharp contrast implications In the first cartoon a fashionable boy lying in his sling chair comfortably is looking at his whole shelf of books and says I possess a multitude of books On the contrary the second portrayal demonstrates an industrious student who is sitting in front of the desk and makes a realistic plan that he would like to finish reading 20 books in total within a year
第二段两方面证方面强调果想法行动利理想实现方面正面证脚踏实步步完成理想道理参考：The author of the cartoon invites us to focus on a truth that endless plans paralyze actions There are simply no great success and achievements in the world that are not achieved through hard work and diligence Similarly a dream can be realized when you decide to work for it and persist continuously Everyone desires to succeed but not all his dreams can come true until he works hard to implement his plans People give up their dreams for this or that reason Those whose dreams become true have at least one thing in common that is they always hold fast to their dreams and always keep their feet on the ground Just around us for instance the athletes who gain the gold medals the artists who are prevalent with the public and even the students who enter the university after years of hard study and preparation are all dreamholders
第三段出结简单提两条建议：Accordingly to succeed we need to spare no efforts and hold fast to your dreams just as our nation sticks to our Chinese Dream The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide and even some sacrifices are needed but hold on to the end you will find there is no greater happiness than making your dream come true
