Before 21 this question, it will be useful to introduce some 22 concepts. Conflict, 23 as opposition among social units or individuals against one another, is 24 from competition, which 25 opposition among social units 26 seeking to obtain something which is 27 inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who 28 in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both 29 of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is 30 contrasted to cooperation, a 31 by which social units function in the service of one another. These 32 are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited 33 , but conflict isn’t. Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable 34 of human societies.Many authors have 35 their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best 36 remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition 37 starveto death or are 38 by other types of animals. This struggle for 39 is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of 40 for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all.21.A.considering B.solving C.answering D.saying22.A.related B.used C.translated D.sacred23.A.specified B.remarked C.defined D.claimed24.A.variable B.distinguished C.various D.isolated25.A.acknowledgedB.deniesC.assumesD.means26.A.criticallyB.approximatelyC.independentlyD.costly27.A.onB.forC.withD.in28.A.enterB.participateC.fallD.involve29.A.formationsB.classesC.termsD.reactions30.A.neverthelessB.howeverC.thusD.maybe31.A.processionB.standardC.processD.measurement32.A.accountsB.definitionsC.descriptionsD.explanations33.A.resourcesB.originsC.sourcesD.materials34.A.matterB.elementC.eventD.coincidence35.A.concentratedB.fixedC.centeredD.based36.A.encouragedB.acceptedC.adaptedD.adopted37.A.not onlyB.eitherC.neitherD.both38.A.killedB.raisedC.firedD.surrounded39.A.resistenceB.privilegeC.favourD.employment40.A.workersB.officialsC.individualsD.residents第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分).阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。ABrazil's football season has been thrown into confusion following the arrest of a senior referee. The referee is accused of helping to arrange matches as part of an illegal betting ring(非法赌博集团).Over several months the Brazilian police secretly recorded the phone conversations of forty-three year-old Edilson Pereira de Carvalho. The allegation is that he received instructions on how to referee First Division matches from participants in an illegal internet betting ring.It's claimed that sometimes those instructions would come just moments before kick-off. Mr. Carvalho would then favour one team or the other, allegedly for a fee of between four and six thousand dollars per game. The official has now been questioned by the police and suspended from his duties, along with a second referee accused of fixing(不正当手段操纵) lower division matches. On Sunday the Brazilian authorities wrote to football's world governing body, FIFA, recommending that Mr. Carvalho also be suspended as an approved international referee.With Brazil already two thirds of the way through its football season, there's now heated debate about what the authorities should do next. The eleven games refereed by Mr. Carvalho will almost certainly have to be replayed and among claims of more widespread match fixing, the Brazilian Football Confederation has promised an independent inquiry. (209 words)41. The authorities and the police have done the following with the referee EXCEPT______.A. arresting him B. questioning him C. dismissing him D. forbidding him to work42. Which is the right order of the following incidents?a. The referee receives a considerable amount of money.b. The football game starts.c. The referee treats one team or another unfairlyd. The instructions on how to referee come.A. abdc B.dabc C. bdca D. dbca43. Which of the following is the best title?A. The arrest of a senior Brazilian refereeB. An illegal betting ring in BrazilC. Red card for a Brazilian refereeD. Match fixing in Brazilian football gamesBEfforts by two east African countries to get more children into school have been backed by the UK government with ?87million worth of funding.The Department for International Development (DFID) announced last week that it would give ?85 million to the Tanzanian government to support the country's poverty reduction strategy, which focuses on education and health. The move follows a 45% rise in the number of children attending school since 2001, when school fees were abolished.The DFID said around 95% of children aged between seven and 13 are now enrolled in school. The number of teachers has risen by a quarter and the number of schools has increased by a fifth in the past five years. Among the challenges for the Tanzanian government now, is to ensure that children receive a good standard of education.A further ?2 million will be given to neighbouring Burundi to help build more classrooms and pay for more teachers.Class sizes swelled this term as an extra 500,000 children enrolled in school following the abolition of primary school fees by the country's newly elected government, which is expected to restore democracy to the war-ravaged(战争毁坏的) country.According to the DFID, there are 150 pupils to a class in some areas of the country and the Burundi government estimates that enrolment rates could double in the next school year.The ?2 million will support the Back to School programme, operated in Burundi by the United Nations' children's fund, Unicef, which aims to build 100 temporary classrooms, provide 500 schools and provide water the sanitation facilities. Fast-track training will also be made available for up to 3,000 unqualified teachers and for 1,000 former teachers returning to education.The money is expected to help bring both countries a small step closer to meeting the UN's eight Millennium Development Goals, which were set in 2000 to eradicate(根除) poverty and improve access to education and healthcare by 2015.44.Which of the following is the same case in both Tanzania and Burundi?A. They both suffered the ravages of the war.B. They will get the same amount of money from DFID.C. They both abolished primary school fees.D. They both need to train unqualified teachers45. What does the underlined word “swelled” mean in the passage?A. remained B. expanded C. doubled D. changed46. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The situation in Tanzania is no better than that in Burundi.B. The Back to School programme is only operated in Burundi.C. The Tanzanian government is sure that children receive a good standard of education.D. Previously many teachers turned to the occupations other than education in Burundi.47. The main idea of this passage is ______.A. Tanzania and Burundi are taking efforts to improve access to education.B. Tanzania and Burundi are desperate for money to support their education.C. The UK government are providing funds to help African children back to school.D.A country's poverty reduction strategy should be focused on education first.CA SIMPLE eye test could predict who is likely to have a stroke in the next seven years.A study of more than 3600 people over the age of 50 found those with a condition called retinopathy(视网膜病)were three times more likely to suffer a stroke, even if they displayed no other risk factors.Paul Mitchell, director of the Centre for Vision Research at Westmead Millennium Institute, said about 10 per cent of people over 50 had retinopathy, diagnosed by taking high-resolution(高分辨) photographs of the retina."This test is a marker for stroke even for people who don't have other stroke risk factors like high blood pressure. Usually about 2 per cent of people above the age of 50 will have a stroke, but we found about 5 to 6 per cent of people who had retinopathy had a stroke within six or seven years."Professor Mitchell said damage to the retina indicated vascular(血管) problems."The eye and the brain circulation are essentially identical, so by taking an image of the retina we are seeing a snapshot(快照) of what might be happening in the brain." He said the images would have to be taken by an eye specialist, rather than a GP.Stroke is the third-largest cause of death in Australia after heart disease and cancer.National Stroke Foundation chief executive Erin Lalor said: "About 48,000 people a year have a stroke, and within a year of having a stroke about a third of the people will die, about a third will make a complete recovery and about a third of the people will have some disability.Professor Mitchell said further research involving 2000 stroke patients in Sydney and Melbourne had begun to determine whether retinopathy was a predictor of certain types of stroke."We are now continuing to work to explore the relevance(有关性质) of this work and to see how it can play a specific practical role in the future," he said."We're recruiting about 2000 people in Sydney and Melbourne who have had a stroke to look at how common these retinal signs are, and whether they are helpful in predicting the type of stroke."48.We can infer from the text that “a GP” is a person who __________.A. has a specific medical skillB. can treat all illnessesC.knows how to take photosD.carries out the research49. What is the main idea of the text?A. Eye test can predict future stroke victims.B. Eyes should be tested regularly to prevent stroke.C. Stroke is the third-largest cause of death in Australia.D. We can prevent stroke in the future.50. According to the text, both retinopathy and high blood pressure ______.A. can cause strokeB. are stroke markersC. are diagnosed by taking high-resolution photographsD. are included in the study51. According to the text, which of the followinghaven’t yet been discovered?A.Retinopathy suggests vascular problems.B.In fact, the eye and the brain circulation are the same.C.Retinopathy is a predictor of certain types of stroke.D. About 16,000 people will die of stroke.DWhat's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ?1 - the ticket included free milk from the farm.Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength - in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ?112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously(同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight international poverty and debt.52.What does the author mean by “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?A. The festival has achieved continuing and growing successB. It has taken great efforts to hold the festival.C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money.D. There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.53. Which of the following is right based on the passage?A. The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.B. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could get milk from the farm without paying.C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone are skilled and experienced superstars.D. In the 2004 Glastonbury Festival, the tickets were in great demand despite the high price.54. “ The Live 8” is the name of ______.A. a band B. a festival C. a place D. a series of concerts55. What is the best title of the passage?A. An idea to have a good timeB. Charity events around the worldC. UK summer music festivalsD. Superstars’ performances in the charity eventsEAt that time, I could go out in the evening with my parents. But this time I had borrowed a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didn’t know why, but once I was on the bicycle, a kind of free feeling flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go! Far ahead, I rode as if my life depended on it, head down, hands grasping the hand bars. I meant to get to Jinghai Bar as fast as I could …Oh! My hands! Don’t come any closer … Don’t touch me! That poor doctor just couldn’t get my gloves (手套) off. Each time he took a step towards me, I broke into painful shouting. Much later, I discovered that I had crashed(碰撞) heavily with another bicycle, and I hadn’t spoken one word of sense for at least three hours! After some time, my mother arrived at the hospital, her face white as a sheet, and gave me a hug(紧抱). Only then, a doctor began to switch(缝合) my head wound, using no anesthetic(麻药)!
