问答题 About 150 years ago, a village church vicar in Yorkshire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes hinged entirely on the sole male heir, Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature. 46){{U}} Branwell's father and sisters hoarded their pennies to. Rack him off to London's Royal Academy of Arts, but if art was his calling, he dialed a wrong number. Within weeks he hightailed it home, a penniless failure.{{/U}} Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would free him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again. 47){{U}} For years the selfless sisters squelched their own goals farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support of their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius{{/U}}. As failure multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure. So died hope in the one male-but what of the three anonymous sisters.? During Branwell's last years, the girls published a book of poetry at their own expense (under a pseudonym, for fear of reviewers' bias against females). Even Branwell might have snickered: they sold only two copies. 48){{U}} Undaunted, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their pent-up emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition-in reality, less fiction than autobiography! {{/U}}And 19th century literature was transformed by Anne's Agnes Grey, Emily's Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte's Jane Eyre. But years of sacrifice for Brauwell had taken their toll. 49){{U}} Emily took ill at her brother's funeral and died within 3 months, aged 30; Anne died 5 months later, aged 29; Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they. had been nurtured instead of having been sacrificed.{{/U}} No one remembers Branwell's name, much less his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters' tragically short lives teach us even more of life than literature. 50) {{U}}Their sacrificed genius cries out to us that in modern society we must value children not by their physical strength or sexual gender, as we would value any boast of burden, but by their integrity strength a commitment, courage-spiritual qualities abundant in both boys and girls. {{/U}}China, a nation blessed by more boys and girls than any nation, ignores at her own peril the lesson of the Brontes' tragedy.

问答题The fact is that the energy crisis, which has suddenly been officially announced, has been with us for a long time now, and will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows freely or not, it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragilea base.【T1】 The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time, and in any case, the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use. 【T2】 New sources of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the times past. For an indefinite period from here on, mankind is going to advance cautiously, and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all. To make the situation worse, there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world's population is in sight. Although the birth-rate has dropped in some nations, including the United States, the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion as the twenty-first century opens. 【T3】 The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food. Taking all this into account, what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets to be like in the year 2001? To begin with, the world food supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next thirty years — even here in the United States. By 2001, the population of the United States will be at least two hundred fifty million and possibly two hundred seventy million, and the nation will find it difficult to expand food production to fill the additional mouths.【T4】 This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.

问答题The process of entering the confines of political and economic power can be pictured as a system in which persons are chosen from a political elite pool. (1) In this reservoir of possible leaders are the individuals with the skills, education, and other qualifications needed to fill elite positions. It is here that competition does exist, that the highest achievers do display their abilities, and that the best qualified do generally succeed. Here, what is more important is entering this reservoir of qualified people. (2) Many in the masses may have leadership abilities, but unless they can gain entrance into the elite pool, their abilities will go unnoticed. Those of the higher class and status rank enter more easily into this competition since they have been afforded greater opportunities to acquire the needed qualifications. (3) In addition to formal qualifications, there are less obvious social-psychological factors which tend to narrow the potential elite pool further. (4) "Self-assertion" and "self-elimination" are processes by which those of higher social status assert themselves and those of lower social status eliminate themselves from competition for elite positions. A young man whose family has been active in politics, who has attended Harvard, and who has established a network of connections to the high position in the business or political world. (5) On the other hand, a young man with less prestigious (有名望的) family background, no connections, and only a high school education or even a college degree from a state university would not likely expect a further place for himself at the top. As Prewitt and Stone explain, such an individual "has few models to follow, no contacts to put him into the right channels, and little reason to think of himself as potentially wealthy or powerful." Thus, self-selection aids in filtering out those of lower income and status groups from the pool of potential elites. Most eliminate themselves from the competition early in the fame.

I had a difficult decision to make. Normally, choosing between honesty and dishonesty barely requires thought. I try to be an honest person, but in my situation choosing to buy a black-marketed copy of an important math test forced me to be dishonest. As long as I understood how to work out the required problems, I felt buying the test was not so unreasonable. Before buying the test I weighed both sides carefully I didn"t want to make a hasty decision, and I found a compromise I could accept. I devoted most of my studying time to the problems on the black-marketed test. After conquering them, I then reviewed the rest of the material until I had mastered it as well. Knowing I had put forth a good effort to study all that was required, I felt better about my decision. I hadn"t cheated myself out of learning important math concepts that I would need in the future. A comprehensive math exam ranks high in difficulty among exams in general. In a whole semester of an advanced math course, there are probably over one hundred types of problems. Out of those, the instructor selects around twenty for the exam. What a relief it would be to know exactly what types of problems would appear. Much of the tension and worrying that final exams cause would be remedied. When I bought the test, the aggravation of wondering how well or how poorly I would do on the exam was gone. I felt very confident about my math course, which gave me reassurance for my other final exams. Another reason for buying the test was the curve of our grades since almost all of my classmates had bought a copy of the test, they would naturally do well. The accumulation of high scores would push the curve way up, making it impossible for me to get a decent grade without a copy of my own. Math is one of the most important classes and one in which I must do well. Without a high score on the final exam and a good overall grade for the course I would lose my scholarship and my means of finishing college. I was not ready to take that big chance; I could have lost too much. I realize my decision to buy a copy of the test was a dishonest one, and many people would not justify it. However, I could not afford to fail the exam or the course. The consequences of failing would affect my future in many ways. I could not afford the expense of college without a scholarship. Without finishing college, my chances of finding a good, satisfying job would be substantially lowered. Completing my college education sits at the top of my value list. My decision to buy the test assured me of a good math grade. I was also certain of being granted a scholarship.
