It is commonly believed in the
Uited States that school is where
people go to get an heless, it has been
said that
today
children(47)________their education to go to
school. The
two opposing arguments
center on the purpose of education. The
(48)________________between
schooling
and
implied by the later remark is
important.
Education
is
much
more
open-
ended
and
education
(49)____________than
schooling.
Education
knows
no

It
can
take
place
anywhere,
whether
in
the
shower
or
in
the
job,
whether
in
a
kitchen
or
on
a
bus.
It
includes
both
the
(51)________learning
that
took
place
in
schools and the whole
universe of informal learning. The agents
of eduxation range from a
(52)______grandparent to the people
debating
politics
on
the
radio;
and
from
a
child
to
a
distinguished scientist.
(53)____________schooling has certain
predictability, education quite often
(54)_________ surprises. A
chance
conversation
with
strangers
may
lead
a
person
to
(55)_________ how little
is known of other religions. People are
engaged
in
education
from
infancy
on,
but
schooling
has
put
education in a specific process.
Throughout a country, children
arrive
at
school
at

same
time,
take
assigned seats, are taught by an adult,
use similar textbooks, do

The American
Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of
a
radicalor
total
change.
It
was
not
a
sudden
and
(47)_______overturning
of
the
political
and
social
framework,
such
as
later
occurred
in
France
and
Russia,
(48)______both
were
already
independent
nations.
Significant
changes
were
ushered
in,(49)_____they
were
not
breathtaking.
What
happened
was
accelerated(50)______rather
than
outright
revolution.
During
the
conflict,
people
went
on
working
and
praying,
marrying
and
playing.
Most
of
them
were
not
(51)
disturbed by the actual fighting, and
many of the more isolated
communities
scarcely knew that a war was on.
America
’
s
War
of
Independence
heralded

birth
of
three
modern
nations.
One
was
Canada,
which

population from the thousands

loyalists

a penal colony now
that America was no
longer (54)______for prisoners and debtors;
the
third
newcommer
-----the
United
States----based
itself
squarely on
republican principles.
Yet
even
the
political
overturn
was
not
so
(55)______as
one
might suppose. In some states, notably
Connecticut and Rhode
Island,
the
war
largely
ratified
a
colonial
self-rule
already
existing. British

Questions 47_
to 56_ are based on the following passage.2_7
In
the
cause
of
equal
rights,
feminists
(
女权主义者
)
have
had
much to
complain about. But one striking piece of
inequality has
been
_47_:
lifespan.
In
this
area,
women
have
the
_48_
hand.
All round the world, they live longer
than men. Why they should
do so is not
_49_ obvious.
But the same is true
in
many other
_50
. From lions to antelope and from sea lions to
deer, males,
for some reason, simply
can
’
t go the distance.
One
theory
is
that
males
must
_51_
for
female
attention.
Females are not
subject to such pressure. If this theory is
correct,
the effect will be especially
52__ in those varieties where males
rival for the attention of lots of
females.
Conversely, it will be
reduced or absent where they do not.
That obviously takes its toll directly.
But a more delicate effect
may
also
be
at
work.
Most
scholars
of
ageing
agree
that
an
animal
’
s
_53_
lifespan
is
set
by
how
long
it
can
reasonably
expect
to
escape
predation
(
掠夺行为
),
disease,
accident
and
damaging _54_ by others
of its kin. If it will be killed quickly
anyway, there is not much reason for
evolution to divert scarce
resources
into keeping the machine in excellent condition.
Those
resources
should,
instead,
be
_55_
to
reproduction.
And
the
more
_56_
the
outside
world
is,
the
shorter
the
uppermost
lifespan should
be.
A) overlooked
F) threatening
K) spontaneous
B) upper
G)undoubtedly
L)devoted
C) aggression
H)species

D) immediately
I)evident

Questions _47 to _56 are based on the
following
More
than
forty
women
have
been
killed
in
the
war
in
Iraq.
Hundreds
of others have been_47_. The war began in March of
2003.
Two
_48_
published
books
tell
two
different
stories
of
women who served in Iraq.
One is by Janis Karpinski. She was the
Army general who _49_
military
police
at
prisons
in
Iraq.
These
included
the
Army
Reserve
soldiers
who
_50_
the
Abu
Ghraib
Prison
near
Baghdad.
Some
have
received
prison
_51_
for
mistreating
prisoners
at
Abu Ghraib. Miz Karpinski
became the highest-level officer to
be
punished in connection with the _52_. She left the
service in
July after being reduced
from a brigadier General
（准将）
to a
colonel
(
上校
)
。
Her
book
is
called
“
One
Woman
’
s
Army:
The
Commanding
General of Abu
Ghraib Tells Her Story.
”
Miz
Karpinski says she
was unfairly blamed
for conditions beyond her control. She also
tells of her difficulties as a rising
woman _53_ in the Army.
Another former
member of the Army, Kayla Williams, wrote a
book
called
“
Love
My
Rifle
More
Than
You.
”
The
name
is
taken from a _54_ song. Miz Williams
was an Arabic translator
in Iraq. She
says her book describes what it is like to be
young
and
_55_
in
the
Army.
One
famous
_56_
called
it
“
a
frank,
shocking and honest look at life in the
military.

Thanksgiving is
America
’
s national holiday
for giving thanks to
God.
Thanksgiving
Day
has
a
special
_47_
for
Americans
because it is
traced back to that group of peole who were among
the first to come to the New World in
search of freedom.
In
1620,
102
sea
weary
Pilgrims
landed
on
the
peninsula
of
Cape Cod. Their ship, the
Mayflower, had _48_ to go to Virgina,
but
it
made
its
landfall
far
to
the
north.
After
some
weeks
of
_49_ they decided not to
make the trip to Virgnia but to remain
where
they
were.
But
when
they
stepped
ashore
in
this
_50_
alien
world,
they
were
totally
isolated
from
any
outside
_51_
and knew no means of
livelihood. And the greater trouble is that
in the woods live Indians, some of whom
were _52. This added
to
the
hardship
of
daily
life.
But
the
vast
_53
of
forests
gave
them
a hope. In this way, the
nation
’
s forefathers not
only _54
the first severe winter, but
also saw the first harvest of crops in
the next autumn.
Their
Indian friends were also invited to join
their festival.
This
story
is
told
and
untold
every
year
to
young
children
in
schools as Thansgiving Day (the fourth
day of November)__55.
Today,
in
U.S.A.
Thanksgiving
Day
is
celebrated
by
many
Americans
whose
roots
do
not
stem
from
Britain.
Now
it
is
marked by families
gathering together to enjoy a __56 dinner for
roast turkey, and to tell the things
for which they are thankful.

Who talks more, women or men? The
seemingly _47 evidence is
reconciled
by
the
difference
between
what
I
call
public
and
private speaking. More
men
feel comfortable by doing
“
public
speaking
”
,
while
more
women
feel
comfortable
by
doing
“
private
speaking
”
.
For
most women the language of convesation is _48 a
;anguage
of
rapport(
融洽
):
a
way
of
establishing
connections
and
_49
relationships. Emphasis is placed on
displaying similarities and
_50
experince. People feel their _ connections at home
or in _
52 where they feel at home with
one or a few people they feel
close
to
and
comfortable
with,
in
other
words,
during
“
private
speaking
”
.
But
even
the
most
public
situations
can
be
approached like private speaking.
For most men, talk is mainly a means to
_53 independence and
negotiate
and
maintain
status
in
a
hierarchical(
等级的
)socia
l
order.
This
is
done
by
exhibiting
knowledge
and
skill,
and
by
