    Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still   41__, but they seem not clear.

The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer      _42__ . It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more   43__ is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in   44__ the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?

These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we   45__ recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years — but unless we meet the truant officer(学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social   46__ and parents’ demand rather to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working.” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes “overtime” is a matter of legal __47__. When we turn the clock   48__ to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves, “ Here is the law in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great    influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, __49__ law, and daylight-saving law –- as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and access.

Section B

 

A

    If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise----and as a result, we are getting old unnecessarily soon.

    Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northernJapanappeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging should be slowed down.

    With a team of colleagues atTokyoNationalUniversity, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.

Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear section of brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing， does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.

    Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as  farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.

Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says,“ Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”

65. The team of doctors wanted to find out _                   ___.

A. why certain people age sooner than others     B. how to make people live longer

C. the sizes of certain people’s brains          D. which people are most intelligent

66. On what are their research finding based?

A. A survey of farmers in northernJapan.

B. Tests performed on a thousand old people.

C. The study of brain volumes of different people.

D. The latest development of computer technology.

67. The doctor’s test shows that _                     ___.

A. our brains shrink as we grow old

B. the front section of the brain does not shrink

C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year olds

D. brain contraction may vary among people of the same age

68. The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 5 means ___                     _.

A. something to be considered     

B. branches of knowledge studied

C. persons chosen to be studied in an experiment

D. any member of a state except the supreme ruler

                                 ( C )

Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology (思想体系；思想意识) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play care-taker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.

The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is thus appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.

Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.

But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.

72. Women’s place, some people think, is the protective environment of the home because _____.
   A. women can provide better care for the children

B. women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all
   C. women are biologically suited to domestic jobs

D. women can not compete with men in any field
73. According to the author, sex roles ________.
   A. are socially determined 

B. are emotionally and physically determined

C. can only be determined by what education people take
   D. are biologically and psychologically determined
74. The author points out that the assignments of women’s roles in work. _________.
   A. are determined by what they are better suited to
   B. grow out of their position inside the home
   C. reflect a basic difference between men and women
   D. are suitable to them, but not to men
75. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
   A. The division of sex-defined roles is completely unacceptable.
   B. Women’s roles in work are too limited at present.
   C. In one society, men might perform what is considered women’s duties by another.
   D. Some of the women’s roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men.

____76______

       When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of your free time. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies and relaxation.

When you get home from class, go over our notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you do it regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

 

Section D

 

       Would–be language teachers everywhere have one thing in common: they all want some recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.

       Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country and in many developed countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher.

       Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and attitudes to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the same status as their native counterparts （相对应的人）--- something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are now happy --- linguistic discrimination （语言上的歧视） is a thing of the past.

       An ongoing research project, funded by theUniversityofCambridge, asked a sample of teachers, teacher educators and employers in more than 40 countries whether they regard the native/ non-native speakers distinction as being at all important. “No” was the answer. As long as candidates could teach and had the required level of English, it didn’t matter who they were and where they came from. Thus, a new form of discrimination --- this time justified because it singled out the unqualified --- liberated the linguistically oppressed （受压迫的）. But theCambridgeproject did more than just that: it confirmed that the needs of native and non-native teachers are extremely similar.

 (Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS)
