听力原文： Former U. S. president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter on Sunday condemned preparations for a unilateral U.S. attack on Iraq, saying it would be an unjust war "almost unprecedented in the history of civilized nations." In an article in The New York Times, Carter said profound changes in U.S. foreign policy had reversed "consistent bipartisan (由两党成员组成的，代表两党的；由两党支持的) commitments that for more than two centuries have earned our nation greatness." Carter, who served as president from 1977 to 1981, said that during his term he was "severely provoked by international crises.” “I became thoroughly familiar with the principles of a just war, and it is clear that a substantially unilateral attack on Iraq does not meet these standards," he said in his article.

In The Disuniting of America: Reflections on a Multicultural Society, Revised and Enlarged

Edition (W. W. Norton) Schlesinger provides deep insights into the crises of nationhood in America. A new chapter assesses the impact both of radical multiculturalism and radical monoculturalism on the Bill of rights. Written with his usual clarity and force, the book brings a noted historian' s wisdom and perspective to bear on America' s "culture wars".

Schlesinger addresses the questions: What holds a nation together？ And what does it mean to be an American？ Describing the emerging cult of ethnicity, Schlesinger praises its healthy effect on a nation long shamed by a history of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. But he warns against the campaign of multicultural advocates to divide the nation into separate ethnic and racial communities. From the start, he observes, the United States has been a multicultural nation, rich in its diversity but held together by a shared commitment to the democratic process and by the freedom of intermarriage. It was this national talent for assimilation that impressed foreign visitors like Alexis de Tocqueyille and James Bryce, and it is this historic goal that Schlesinger champions as the best hope for the future. Schlesinger analyzes what he sees as grim consequences of identity politics: the widening of differences. Attacks on the First Amendment, he argues, threaten intellectual freedom and, ultimately, the future of the ethnic groups. His criticisms are not limited to the left. As a former target of McCarthyism, be understands that the radical right is even more willing than the radical left to re strict and weaken the Bill of Rights.

The author does not minimize the injustices concealed by the "melting pot" dream. The Disuniting of America is both academic and personal, forceful in argument, balanced in judgment. It is a book that will no doubt anger some readers, but it will surely make all of them think again. The winner of Pulitzer Prizes for history and for biography, an authoritative voice of American liberalism, Schlesinger is uniquely positioned to bring bold answers and healing wisdom to this passionate debate over who we are and what we should become.

According to Schlesinger, the United States is ______.

A．a melting pot

B．a nation with diverse cultures held together by the democratic process

C．a federation of ethnic and racial communities

D．a nation with various ethnic and racial groups

听力原文： Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence of sport -- the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself. He has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.

A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world's most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention "Brazil" to someone and the chances are that he'll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup "put Brazil on the map".

Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Brazil, who won the cup.

(30)

A．Children can have fun from it.

B．People can achieve personal excellence from it.

C．The winner will be greatly honored.

D．It can realize the dreams of an entire nation.

The BDDS Competition By Richard Cox This year the Best Digital Design Society reinvented

its annual digital competition in a big way. With new categories and divisions, they sought to showcase the very best the industry has to offer, from photography to product designs and way beyond. Best Digital Design Competition launched this summer when 5 industry leaders spent a week poring over more than 150 entries. They met in person at Midtown State University in July to discuss the top 10 entries. The first-prize winner was the design by Elizabeth Burns, a 33-year-old designer, connected with a leading design firm in the city. The contest judges deemed her design for a smart phone monitor the most attractive, functional, and cost-economic among the 150 entries submitted. The second prize-winning design, by 26-year-old Kevin Davis, a recent college graduate, rated higher in beauty and elegance for laptop computers. The third prize went to the design by Richard Cox, a 38-year-old independent designer. His battery design was adjudged the most creative, but was deemed too advanced for mobile phone users. GX Electronics Co., the oldest and most prestigious electronics company in the nation, sponsored this contest.

Approximately how many submissions were received for the contest？

Part A

Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

The American party system is a two-party system which is unlikely to become anything else. It is not just that the two-party polarization has the weight of tradition behind it but also that the two-party polarization is built into our constitutional and legal system. Our entire electoral arrangements, the absence of proportional representation, the exorbitant cost of political campaigns, the legal difficulties in getting on and staying on the ballot in many states-all these things work against the rise of minor parties.

Also the single member legislative district, the division of power between the nation and the states, the method of electing a president with the winner itself, work to keep power in the hands of the two major parties. Major parties (like the Federalists and the Whigs) have broken up and been replaced as new parties have emerged in the past. But no minor party has ever gradually risen to achieve the stature of a major party, and no third party has lasted very long in any prominent capacity.

All this is not to say that third parties do not have a function in the American system. However, their function is largely that of pressure groups, and in this respect they are a curious combination of European special-interest parties and American interest groups. They have at various times been useful in bringing to the fore the interests of neglected groups in the public at large. The Populist party of 1890's as was a notable case in point.

What happens characteristically, however, is that as soon as third parties begin to make their mark, one or both of the major parties appropriates enough of their principles or program to absorb the discontent on which they were flourishing. For this reason it has been said that third parties are like bees: once they have stung they must die.

The word "exorbitant" (Line 4, Para. 1) means "______".

A．not expensive

B．fairly expensive

C．too expensive
