28．（6 分）We've considered several ways of paying to cut inline：hiring line standers，buying tickets from scalpers
（票贩子），or purchasing line cutting privileges directly from，say，an airline or an amusement park．Each of
these deals replaces the morals of the queue （waiting your turn） with the morals of the market （paying a price
for faster service）．
Markets and queues﹣paying and waiting﹣are two different ways of allocating things，and each is appropriate to
different activities．The morals of the queue，"First come，first served，"have an egalitarian（平等主义的）
appeal．They tell us to ignore privilege，power，and deep pockets．
The principle seems right on play grounds and at bus stops．But the morals of the queue do not govern all
occasions．If I put my house up for sale，I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along，simply because
it's the first．Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities，properly governed by different
standards．
Sometimes standards change，and it is unclear which principle should apply．Think of the recorded message you
hear，played over and over，as you wait on hold when calling your bank："Your call will be answered in the order
in which it was received．"This is essential for the morals of the queue．It's as if the company is trying to ease our
impatience with fairness．
But don't take the recorded message too seriously．Today，some people's calls are answered faster than
others．Call center technology enables companies to"score"incoming call sand to give faster service to those that
come from rich places．You might call this telephonic queue jumping．
Of course，markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things．Some goods we distribute by merit，
others by need，still others by chance．However，the tendency of markets to replace queues，and other non﹣
market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore．It is striking that
most of the paid queue﹣jumping schemes we've considered﹣at airports and amusement parks，in call centers，
doctors'offices，and national parks﹣are recent developments，scarcely imaginable three decades ago．The
disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern，but these are not the only places that
markets have entered．
58．According to the author，which of the following seems governed by the principle"First come，first served"？
A．Taking buses．
B．Buying houses．
C．Flying with an airline．
D．Visiting amusement parks．
59．The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates．
A．the necessity of patience in queuing
B．the advantage of modern technology
C．the uncertainty of allocation principle D．the fairness of telephonic services
60．The passage is meant to ．
A．justify paying for faster services
B．discuss the morals of allocating things
C．analyze the reason for standing in line
D．criticize the behavior of queue jumping．
29．（8 分）If a diver surfaces too quickly，he may suffer the bends．Nitrogen（氮） dissolved（溶解） in his
blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure．The consequence，if the bubbles （气泡）accumulate in a
joint，is sharp pain and abent body﹣thus the name．If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain，the consequence
can be death．
Other air﹣breathing animals also suffer this decompression（减压） sickness if they surface too fast：whales，
for example．And so，long ago，did ichthyosaurs．That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from
their bones．If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply．This kills the cells in the
bone，and consequently weakens it，sometimes to the point of collapse．Fossil （化石）bones that have caved in
on them selves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends．
Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out
how widespread the problem was in the past．What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs
adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years．To this end，he and his colleagues traveled the
world's natural﹣history museums，looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later
Jurassic and Cretaceous periods．
When he started，he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils，reflecting their gradual
evolution of measures to deal with decompression．Instead，he was astonished to discover the opposite．More than
15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died，but not a single Triassic
specimen（标本） showed evidence of that sort of injury．
If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti﹣decompression means，they clearly did so quickly﹣and，most strangely，
they lost it afterwards．But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened．He suspects it was evolution in other
animals that caused the change．
Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator （捕食动物） such as a
large shark．One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles，both of which
were fond of ichthyosaur lunches．Triassic oceans，by contrast，were mercifully shark﹣and crocodile﹣free．In
the Triassic，then，ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain．In the Jurassic and Cretaceous，they were prey（猎
物） as well as predator﹣and often had to make a speedy exit as a result．
61．Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends？
A．A twisted body．
B．A gradual decrease in blood supply．
C．A sudden release of nitrogen in blood．
D．A drop in blood pressure．
62．The purpose of Rothschild's study is to see ．
A．how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends
B．how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression
C．why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies
D．when ichthyosaurs broke their bones
63．Roths child's finding stated in Paragraph 4 ．
A．confirmed his assumption
B．speeded up his research process
C．disagreed with his assumption
D．changed his research objectives
64．Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs ．
A．failed to evolve an anti decompression means
B．gradually developed measures against the bends
C．died out because of large sharks and crocodiles
D．evolved an anti decompression means but soon lost it．
30．（12 分）Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel．And he surely deserves additional
praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism．
I say clever because anti﹣slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil
War．H．B．Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example．These early stories dealt directly with
slavery．With minor exceptions，Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the
surface about something else entirely．He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story．
Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race．Consider the most
controversial，at least today，of Twain's novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn．Only a few books have been
kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain's most widely read tale．Once upon a time，people
hated the book because it struckthemas rude．Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the
novel"trash and suitable only for the slums（贫民窟）．"More recently the book has been attacked because of the
character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurrences of the word nigger．（The term Nigger Jim，for which the
novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it．）
But the attacks were and are silly﹣and miss the point．The novel is strongly anti﹣slavery．Jim's search through the
slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic．As J．Chadwick has pointed out，the
character of Jim was a first in American fiction﹣a recognition that the slave had two personalities，"the voice of
survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man．"
There is much more．Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even
many of the liberals of his day．Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior （低等
的） to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth．A
slave gave birth to her master's baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the master's
baby by his wife．The slave's light﹣skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the
education of the slave﹣holding class．The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes
and intonations of the slave．
The point was difficult to miss：nurture （养育），not nature，was the key to social status．The features of the
black man that provided the stuff of prejudice﹣manner of speech，for example﹣were，to Twain，indicative of
nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims．
Twain's racial tone was not perfect．One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography
（自传） about how much he loved what were called"nigger shows"in his youth﹣mostly with white men
performing in black﹣face﹣and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them．Yet there is no reason to think
Twain saw the shows as representing reality．His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen
awareness that they did not．
Was Twain a racist？Asking the questioning the 21 stcentury is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln．If we read
the words and attitudes of the past through the"wisdom"of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will
find nothing but error．Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free
him．And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the
nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century．
65．How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowes？
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism．
B．Twain's attack on racism was much less open．
C．Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots．
D．Twain was openly concerned with racism．
66．Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its ．
A．target readers at the bottom
B．anti slavery attitude
C．rather impolite language
D．frequent use of"nigger"
67．What best proves Twain's anti slavery stand according to the author？
A．Jim's search for his family was described in detail．
B．The slave's voice was first heard in American novels．
C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture．
D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent．
68．The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that ．
A．slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters
B．slaves babies could pickup slave holders‵way of speaking
C．blacks‵social position was shaped by how they were brought up
D．blacks were born with certain features of prejudice
69．What does the under lined word"they"in Paragraph 7 refer to ？
A．The attacks．
B．Slavery and prejudice．
C．White men．
D．The shows．
70．What does the author mainly argue for？
A．Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism．
B．Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln．
C．Twain's works had been banned on unreasonable grounds．
D．Twain s works should be read from a historical point of view．

31．（10 分）Quiet Virtue：The Conscientious
The everyday signs of conscientiousness （认真尽责）﹣being punctual，careful in doing work，self﹣
disciplined，and scrupulous （一丝不苟的） in attending to responsibilities﹣are typical characteristics of the
model organizational citizen，the people who keep things running as they should．They follow the rules，help
out，and are concerned about the people they work with．It's the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or
updates people who return after an absence，who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves，who always
gets things done on deadline．
Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field．In studies of job performance，outstanding effectiveness for
almost all jobs，from semi 鄄skilled labor to sales and management，depends on conscientiousness．It is
particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization：the secretary whose
message taking is perfect，the delivery truck driver who is always on time．
Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacturer，those who were most conscientious had the
largest volume of sales．Conscientiousness also offers a buffer （缓冲） against the threat of job loss in today's
constantly changing market，because employees with this quality are among the most valued．For the sales
representatives，their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed
on．
There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are．Their
reputation for dependability influences managers 爷evaluations of their work，giving them higher evaluations than
objective measures of their performance would predict．
But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems．Since conscientious people demand so
much of themselves，they can hold other people to their own standards，and so be overly judgmental when others
don 爷t show the same high levels of model behavior．Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who
were extremely conscientious，for example，tended to criticize co﹣workers even about failures that seemed
unimportant to those they criticized，which damaged their relationships．
When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations，it can discourage creativity．In creative
professions like art or advertising，openness to wild ideas and spontaneity （自发性） are scarce and in
demand．Success in such occupations calls for a balance，however； without enough conscientiousness to follow
through，people become mere dreamers，with nothing to show for their imaginativeness．
