Questions 1 to 10 are bad on the same passage or dialog. | The Peace Corps The Peace Corps is an independent federal agency of the United States designed to promote mutual understanding between Americans and the outside world. The Peace Corps was established by executive order in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy and approved by Congress as a permanent agency within the State Department later that year. The program came about during the Cold War and was designed to oppo the Soviet challenge to Western influence in the widely open Third World area of superpower competition. More than 180,000 Americans have rved in the Peace Corps since its beginning. Purpo & function The program officially has three goals. The first is to help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers. The cond is to help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples rved. And the third is to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. The Peace Corps works by first announcing its availability to foreign governments. The governments then determine areas in which the organization can be involved. The organization then matches the requested assignments to its pool of applicants and nds tho volunteers with the appropriate skills to the countries that first made the requests. Background & history Since the end of the Second World War, various members of the United States Congress had propod bills to establish volunteer organizations in the Third World. In 1952 Senator Brien McMahon propod an "army" of young Americans to act as "bringers of democracy". Privately funded non-religious organizations had been nding volunteers overas since the 1950s. John F. Kennedy first announced his own idea for such an organization during the 1960 presidential campaign at a late-night speech at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on October 14. During a later speech in San Francisco, California on November 1, he named this propod organization the "Peace Corps". Critics of the program (including Kennedy's opponent, and future United States president, Richard M. Nixon) claimed the program would be nothing but a place for young people to hide from military rvice. Others doubted whether college-aged volunteers had the necessary skills. The idea was popular among most college students, however, and Kennedy continued to pursue it, asking respected academics such as Max Millikan and Chester Bowles to help him outline the organization and its goals. During his opening address as president, Kennedy again promid to create the program. Established & approved On March 1, 1961, Kennedy signed an Executive Order which officially started the Peace Corps. Concerned with the growing tide of revolutionary feelings in the Third World, Kennedy saw the Peace Corps as a means of countering the notions of the "Ugly American", especially in the emerging nations of postcolonial Africa and Asia. On March 4, Kennedy appointed Sargent Shriver to be the program's first director. Shriver was tasked with fleshing out the organization, which he did with the help of Warren W. Wiggins and others. Shriver and his think tank outlined the three major goals of the Peace Corps and decided the number of volunteers they needed to recruit. The program began recruiting volunteers that following July. Until about 1967, applicants to the Peace Corps had to pass a placement test that tested "general knowledge" (knowledge of various skills needed for various Peace Corps assignments) and language ability. After an address from Kennedy, who was introduced by Rev. Rusll Fuller of Memorial Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, on August 28, 1961, the first group of volunteers left for Ghana and Tanzania. The program was formally approved by Congress on September 22, 1961 and within two years over 7,300 Peace Corps volunteers were rving in 44 countries. This number would jump to 15,000 in June of 1966, the largest number in the organization's history. Early troubles for the Peace Corps Though the organization was begun with the noblest of intentions, it experienced a big controversy in its very first year of operation. On October 13, 1961, a postcard written by a volunteer named Marjorie Michelmore in Nigeria to her boyfriend in the US caud some problems. In it, she described Nigeria as "ugly and absolutely primitive in living conditions". This postcard, however, never made it out of the country. A student at the University College at Ibadan found it and made copies to distribute around campus. Nigerian students accud the volunteers of being spies of the US government. Soon the international press picked up the story and this led veral people in the US administration to question the future of the program as a whole. Nigerian students protested the program, and the American volunteers hid themlves away and eventually began a hunger strike. After veral days, the Nigerian students agreed to open a dialogue with the Americans. Independent status In July 1971, President Nixon brought the Peace Corps under the umbrella agency, ACTION. The Peace Corps would remain under ACTION until President Jimmy Carter declared it fully independent in a 1979 executive order. This independent status would be further cured when Congress pasd legislation in 1981 to make the organization an independent federal agency. Programs branching out At this time, the Peace Corps began branching out past its traditional concerns of education- and agriculture-related projects. In 1982, Director Loret Miller Ruppe began veral new business-related programs. For the first time, a large number of conrvative and Republican volunteers joined the group of overas volunteers, and the organization continued to reflect the evolving political and social conditions in the United States. Funding cuts during the early 1980s dropped the number of volunteers to 5,380, its lowest level since the organization's early years. Funding began to increa in 1985, and Congress pasd an initiative to rai the number of volunteers to 10,000 by 1992. After the September 11, 2001 attacks alerted the nation to growing anti-US feelings in the Middle East, President George W. Bush pledged to double the size of the organization within five years as a part of the War on Terrorism. For 2004, Congress pasd a budget increa at $325 million, $30 million above that of 2003 but $30 million below the President's request. Now, the Peace Corps is trying to double the number of volunteers it nds abroad by 2007. This is in accordance with Bush's request in 2002. According to Joph Kennedy, "The American reputation has taken a hit in the last couple of years. The need for the Peace Corps couldn't be more urgent than it is right now, at this moment. The Peace Corps shows what is best in America, the generosity of spirit." The Peace Corps is trying to get more diver volunteers of different ages. This is important so that the Peace Corps can look "more like America" (in the words of Vasquez, its director). | | 1. | When first designed, the purpo of the Peace Corps was to ________________. | | A. promote President John F.

Questions 1 to 5 are bad on the same passage or dialog. | During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen pasngers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' rvice could be dismisd if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares. In the circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guesd we were at the top just before Market Street. I presd the bell, the doors clod, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of pasngers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had clod around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time. When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly. trashes | | 1. | What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph? | | A.

Questions 6 to 10 are bad on the same passage or dialog. | Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest n, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most inten in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but today's ea of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them. As defen against the developments, city dwellers tend to u various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themlves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to tho who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; the people are then geographically trapped becau so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond. Prent-day architecture and planning have enormously worned the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-houd in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any tting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the wor possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conrve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks. | | 6. | According to the author, living in a city caus stress becau there are so many people who are ________. | | A. anxious to succeed | | B. in need of help | | C. naturally aggressive | | D. likely to commit crime | | 7. | The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities becau ________. | | A. people do not communicate with their neighbors | | B. criminals are difficult to trace in large populations | | C. people feel anonymous there | | D. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals | | 8. | The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit from the inner areas becau they ________. | | A. dislike having to travel far to work | | B. have been forced by circumstances to do so | | C. don't like the idea of living in the suburbs | | D. have turned against society | | 9. | Architectural changes have affected city life by ________. | | A. scattering long-established communities | | B. giving the individual a say in planning | | C. forcing people to live on top of each other | | D. making people move to the suburbs | | 10. | The author's general argument is that urban life would be improved by ________. | | A. moving people out of tower blocks | | B. restoring old buildings | | C. building community centers | | D. prerving existing social systems | | |
Questions 11 to 15 are bad on the same passage or dialog. | My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it emed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university. I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the a creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of a anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print. I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don't pick up a creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it. There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get ud to cars, they won't get ud to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one el has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers. Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conrving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike. | | 11. | The author decided to go to university and study Zoology becau ________. | | A. she wanted to improve her life in the countryside | | B. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmother | | C. she was keen on the natural world | | D. she wanted to stop moving around all the time | | 12. | How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets? | | A.
