While you read this article, somewhere there is an actor on a stage pouring out his heart to the audience. The character of Hamlet has a personal, painful quality that still draws readers and playgoers today as it did 400 years ago. The problems he faces, such as what is 38 and how he should respond to events, are ones we all face in our lives.Hamlet is the young prince of Denmark. At the beginning, he is sad about his dead father. Everyone else around him is 39 the marriage of his mother Gertrude to her brother-in-law Claudius, the new king. Hamlet thinks that the short time between the death of his father and the marriage of his mother and uncle is 40 .Hamlet is told that a spirit has been walking around Elsinore castle. He meets it and it says that his father was killed, and by his brother Claudius- it was “murder most horrid (可怕的)”! Now, the ghost instructs him, it is his 41 to avenge (报仇) .Hamlet is in a terrible position. He does not know whether the ghost is who he says he is, or a being sent by the devil (魔鬼). Matters are 42 because Claudius is suspicious of his nephew. There is a cat-and-mouse game played between the king and Hamlet.Hamlet has a play performed for the king which stages the way the ghost told him of his fathers murder. Claudius reacts with horror, proving to hamlet that he is 43 . But Hamlet misses the opportunity to take his revenge.He tells Gertrude he hates her 44 to Claudius. During their meeting he kills Polonius, who is the father of his love, Ophelia. Then, Lacerates es back to the court. Hes heard that his father, Polonius, has been killed, so he wants to kill Hamlet.Cunning (奸诈的) Claudius attempts to play Lacerates and Hamlet against each other, and in the final scene it all goes horribly wrong.One 45 speech in the play begins “to be or not to be”: it is about how Hamlet cant decide whether to get out of his bad situation by killing himself. Hamlet is a thinking man. One who thinks too much in the world where others, like Claudius, show no 46 .III. Reading prehension (27%)Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice munications, not to mention newspapers and magazines; a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job advancing, the ability to read and prehend _47_ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are _48_ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never _49_ them. The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself words. Taken individually, words have little_50_ until they are bined together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, _51_, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He read one word at a time with difficulty, often regressing to _52_ words or passages. Regression, namely, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a mon _53_ habit in reading. Another bad habit which _54_ the speed of reading is vocalization sounding each word either _55_ or mentally as one reads.To overe these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set a slightly _56_ rate than the reader finds fortable, in order to “_57_” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically _58_. At first prehension is _59_ speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your prehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill _60_ improved after some training. Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can go through a lot more reading material in a(n) _61_ period of time. 47. A. quicklyB. silentlyC. thoroughlyD. vaguely 48.A. casual B. curious C. efficientD. poor 49.A. acquire B. cultivateC. kick D. practice50.A. formation B. meaningC. pronunciationD. transformation51.A. howeverB. moreover C. somehowD. therefore 52.A. recite B. reread C. reuse D. rewrite 53.A. horrible B. incurableC. social D. viewing 54.A. achievesB. gainsC. measuresD. reduces 55.A. orallyB. physically C. quietly D. repeatedly 56.A. better B. fasterC. lower D. steadier 57.A. distractB. embarrassC. interestD. stretch58.A. demanding B. impossibleC. reasonableD. useful 59.A. applied toB. matched withC. sacrificed forD. substituted for60.A. dramatically B. hardlyC. slightlyD. subconsciously 61.A. indefiniteB. lengthyC. limitedD. set Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are over concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such unfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A persons self concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep affect on all areas of their lives. Shy people ,have low self-esteem(自尊),are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise .A shy person may respond to praise with a statement like this one:” Youre just saying that to make me feel good .I know its not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be pletely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overe shyness with determination. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths, for example, not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to absence of inferiority. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it bees to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.62The first paragraph is mainly about _.A. the thoughts of shy people B. the cause of shynessC. the effect of shyness on people D. the questions in the minds of shy people63According to the writer, self awareness is _.A. harmful to people B. a weak point of shy peopleC. the cause of unhappiness D. a good characteristic64What is the shy peoples reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it B. They feel it is not trueC. They are very sensitive to it D. They feel they are worthy of it65We can learn from the passage that shyness can _.Ahelp us to live up to our full development B. enable us to understand ourselves betterC. block our chances for a successful life D. have nothing to do with lack of self esteem (B)It was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. Id read the signs: Dont give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers. So I shook my head and kept walking. I wasnt prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can e with me and watch me eat! But I kept on walking. The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadnt been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldnt help thinking of him. I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, youre not supposed to give money to beggars. Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Beans Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Beans? Plant a row for Beans. Its clean and simple. We didnt keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. Its food for the spirit and fort for my conscience. In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Beans became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention. As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many panies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty. 66. The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. policemenB. writersC. cheatersD. beggars67. Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being?A. Because he didnt show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly.B. Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by.C. Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger.D. Because he thought that charity work was the governments duty.68. How did the author make up for what he had done?A. He set up a local kitchen to help the poor.B. He planted a row of vegetables for charity.C. He called on people to donate money to the Beans.D. He initiated the idea of Plant a row for Beans.69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down by the author.B. The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News.C. GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwide in 1995.D. The program was later taken over by some seeding panies.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words. In recent years in America, the mandatory sentencing(强制判刑) movement has really changed the US prison size. The mandatory sentencing movement typically stated the minimum number of prison years for certain crimes people mitted. It swept the United States in the 1970s, driving the state prison population up from less than 200,000 to about 1.4 million today and made prisoning budgets the second-fastest-growing state expense, only second to Medic-aid. But the current sentencing reforms in a growing number of states are starting to reverse that trend causing the prison population to decline by about 3.8 percent since xx.Central to the state reforms is
