The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the world’s great writers. Before   36    this question, it will be useful to introduce some   37  concepts. Conflict,  38   as opposition among  social units-or individuals-directed against one another, is  39 from competition, which    40   opposition among social units   41  seeking to obtain something which is   42   inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who   43  in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both   44   of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is   45  contrasted to cooperation, a   46   by which social units function in the service of one another. These   47   are necessary because it is important to emphasize that    competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited   48  , but conflict isn’t . Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable   49  of human societies.
Many authors have 50 their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best 51 remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition 52 starve
to death or are 53 by other types of animals. This struggle for 54 is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of 55 for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all.

36.A 考慮這個(gè)問題之前,有必要介紹一些與之相關(guān)的概念。
37.A “相關(guān)的概念”,應(yīng)用related。
38.C  define, “解釋”,“下定義”,后面經(jīng)常接as; specify,“指定”,“指明”。The regulations specify that you may use a dictionary in the examination。remark,“說”。claim,“要求承認(rèn)某人之身份,所有權(quán)”。Does anyone claim this umbrella? 有沒有人認(rèn)領(lǐng)這把傘?沖突,指的是社會(huì)單位,團(tuán)體或個(gè)人之間的對(duì)抗。它與“競爭”不同。競爭指的是社會(huì)單位間為奪取一種不足夠的供應(yīng)而進(jìn)行的對(duì)抗。
39.B   distinguish from區(qū)別,不同;variable與various(多樣的)后面一般不接from; isolated “與……隔離開來”。
40.D 對(duì)前面competition的解釋,“意味著”。
41.C  critically批判地;approximately大致地;independently 獨(dú)立地;不受控制地;costly形容詞,昂貴的。根據(jù)文中含義,“競爭對(duì)手各自尋求物質(zhì),所以才會(huì)有沖突”。所以此外選C為宜。
42.D   in short(inadequate) supply“缺乏的”為固定搭配,一般不用其它介詞。
43.B   enter in登記姓名,細(xì)節(jié)等。例:enter in an item in an account book將一筆賬記入賬本;fall in陷入,例fall in love with sb. involve in“卷入”,一般為卷入某個(gè)事件;participate in參與。競爭者們可能彼此不了解,而沖突者們則熟識(shí)對(duì)方。
44.B   formation,構(gòu)成;terms,術(shù)語;reactions,反映;classes在此處指“種類,類別”。沖突和競爭都屬于對(duì)抗。
45.C  選這類連接副詞時(shí),關(guān)鍵是弄清句與句之間意義關(guān)系。上句講到對(duì)抗就是彼此不服務(wù)。這句講到合作就是彼此服務(wù)。他們之間連接詞自然就是“因此”了,因此他們相反。對(duì)抗與合作相反。合作指的是社會(huì)單位互相服務(wù)。
46.C  procession隊(duì)伍,行列;standard標(biāo)準(zhǔn);process過程;measurement衡量。上句中談到對(duì)抗是彼此不服務(wù)時(shí),用的是“a process by which social...”,此處與上句這部分結(jié)構(gòu)完全相同,就可套用process一詞。
47.B  accounts敘述;definitions,定義,概念;descriptions,描述;explanations,解釋。文章第二句話是第一自然段主題句:介紹幾個(gè)概念,然后作者分別介紹。本題中用these definitions“這些概念”則與上文渾然一體。對(duì)這些定義的理解非常必要,因?yàn)橛斜匾獜?qiáng)調(diào),個(gè)人或團(tuán)體之間的競爭在這個(gè)資源有限的世界是難免的,而沖突則是可免的。
48.A  resource資源,指國家、人類或個(gè)人所擁有的人力及物力,例:We must exploit the natural resources of our country. 我們必須開發(fā)本國的天然資源。source指河的源頭:the source of Nile尼羅河的發(fā)源地。source還指出處,來源,例:The news comes from a reliable source.這項(xiàng)消息出自可靠的來源。origin起源,the origin of a quarrel 爭吵的起因。此空前為a world of limited一個(gè)有限資源的世界,因此選A。
49.B 沖突很可能發(fā)生,它可能是人類社會(huì)必不可少、值得得到的要素。
50.D  base...on... 把……建立在……上。
51.C 只有那些適應(yīng)(能力)強(qiáng)的才活下來。
52.B 看到or就會(huì)想到either; not only...but also; neither...nor...,both...and都是固定搭配。在競爭中失敗的動(dòng)物,要不就是餓死,要不就被別的動(dòng)物殺死。
53.A 由前句starve to death和or可知,此處應(yīng)同death意義相近。
54.A 為生存的抗?fàn)幉煌谌祟悜?zhàn)爭。
55.C  由后面的jobs, markets and materials可知,此處應(yīng)填“個(gè)人”。 workers, officials和residents(居民)都以偏概全。

London—Lazy students can now give up on work altogether as two Oxford University students have made scores of A-grade essays(論文)on the website for students to copy.
The essays are on the new website,“revise.it.”
The website includes an “Essay Lab”designed to make cheating(舞弊)as effective and effortless as possible.
Its homepage announces to surfers(網(wǎng)上沖浪者):“The revise.it Essay Lab is a bank of hundreds of A-Level essays covering popular topics.”
“Next time you are asked to write an essay,why not see what we have on the subject—if you are in a lazy state of mind you can even use our guide to writing the essays and then just hand them in.”
Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo,both 19 and first from Manchester,spent much of their first year as students at the university setting up the website.There is no charge for downloading the essays.
“I have never been very good at essay writing,”Rose admitted.“We don’t see essay bank as a cheating way.It’s a surprising valuable resource.You can learn a lot by reading other people’s work on the subject.”
Among other tips,the website suggests inventing important speeches to give essays extra weight:“Popular people to quote(引用)are Douglass Hurd or Disraeli.”
Hurd was a foreign secretary in the 1980s and Disraeli was a 19th century prime minister.
Teachers are expressing their opinions by e-mail that they are angry about the website that “encourages students to cheat”,but students disagree.
According to Rose:“Exams are a fight.It’s us against them.”
65.It can be inferred from this passage that______.
A.students who visit the website“revise.it”are all lazy
B.students in Oxford University are all lazy
C.websites in Oxford University are all set up by students
D.websites can provide people with different kinds of information
66.Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo set up their website for the purpose of______.
A.helping students to cheat in exams
B.helping students to improve their writing
C.making money to pay for their schooling
D.making their teacher free
67.What Rose said at last suggests that in England______.
A.it is difficult for students to pass their exams
B.it is difficult for teachers to finish their teaching
C.students are not satisfied with the education system
D.students are too lazy to learn anything

Last year, I was speaking at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the   1  of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.

There is no reliable   3  of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the   4  spender.
A recent survey by Wilmington Trust, Campden Research and Relative Solutions proves the   5  . The companies polled 40 women (I know, that is more like a show of hands than 'survey'), each with a net worth of $25 million or more.
About half the respondents(受調(diào)查者) inherited(.繼承) their   6  , a quarter   7  it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it   8   . That is roughly in line with other surveys of   9  women and the source of their money. One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than   10  a salary.
As for   11   , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as 'below their means.' The report on the survey said that is 'possibly   12  they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.
'Women tend not to spend as much as   13  and splash(潑灑得使到處是) their names all over the place,' said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and he lifestyle as 'below the radar.'

“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.”
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(懷孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process. Although many good books have been written about American mothers, only recently have some books discussed the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation of daily routine and adaptation to a new life, on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
小題1:According to the author, being a father _______.
A.brings a feeling of excitement to some men
B.has a different meaning for those who have daughters
C.makes some men feel proud and others uneasy
D.means nothing but more responsibilities.
小題2: It is stated in the passage that ________.
A.some parents are not prepared to have a child
B.young couples do not like children at all
C.working couples do not have much time to take care of their children
D.many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child
小題3:The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife _______.
A.changes her life style in a quite different way
B.makes a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation
C.stays at home to take care of the baby
D.helps her husband in his re-socialization process
小題4:Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, _______.
A.have to do more in the householdB.have to make more difficult adaptations
C.have an easier job to doD.can usually do a better job

There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers(夢游者). People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.
In Revere, Masachusctts, a hundred policemen scarched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.

An American expert on sleep claims(聲稱) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty—five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers(應(yīng)征者).”
Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes looks quite fantastic(奇特的). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.
