Part II Reading Comprehension ( 40 points )
Section A: In this section, there are three passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the BEST choices and then write the appropriate answer on the ANSWER SHEET. ( 30 points，2 for each )
Passage 1
According to a recent publication of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, at the present rate of progress, it will take forty-three years to end job discrimination-hardly a reasonable timetable.
If our goal is educational and economic equity and parity, it is then we need affirmative action to catch up. We are behind as a result of discrimination and denial of opportunity. There is one white attorney for every 680 whites, but only one black attorney for every 4,000 blacks; one white physician for every 659 whites, but only one black physician for every 5,000 blacks; and one white dentist for every 1,900 whites, but only one black dentist for every 8,400 blacks. Less than 1 percent of all engineers or of all practicing chemists is black. Cruel and uncompassionate injustice created gaps like these. We need creative justice and compassion to help us close them.
Actually, in the U.S. context, “reverse discrimination” is illogical and a contradiction in terms. Never in the history of mankind has a majority, with power, engaged in programs and written laws that discriminate against itself. The only thing whites are giving up because of affirmative action is unfair advantage, something that was unnecessary in the first place.
Blacks are not making progress at the expense of whites, as news accounts make it seem. There are 49 percent more whites in medical school today and 64 percent more whites in law school than there were when affirmative action programs began some eighteen years ago.
In a recent column, William Raspberry raised an interesting question. Commenting on the Bakke case, he asked, “What if, instead of setting aside 16 of 100 slots, we added 16 slots to the 100.” That, he suggested, would not interfere with what whites already have. He then went on to point out that this, in fact, is exactly what has happened in law and medical schools. In 1968, the year before affirmative action programs began to get under way, 9,571 whites and 282 members of minority groups entered U.S. medical schools. In 1976, the figures were 14,213 and 1,400 respectively. Thus, under affirmative action, the number of “white places” actually rose by 49 percent; white access to medical training was not diminished, but substantially increased. The trend was even more marked in law schools. In 1969, the first year for which reliable figures are available, 2,933 minority-group members were enrolled; in 1976, the number was up to 8,484. But during the same period, law school enrollment for whites rose from 65,453 to 107,064, an increase of 64 percent. In short, it is a myth that blacks are making progress at white expense.
Allan Bakke did not really challenge preferential treatment in general, for he made no challenge to the preferential treatment accorded to the children of the rich, the alumni and the faculty or to athletes or the very talented only to minorities.
1. The author is for affirmative action __________.
A. because it will take 43 years to end job discrimination
B. because there is discrimination and denial of opportunity in the U.S.
C. if we aim at educational and economic equity and parity
D. when there is no reasonable timetable in the U.S.
2. It requires ______ to close the gap between the whites and the blacks in the U.S.
A. creative justice and compassion
B. a lot more black engineers and chemists
C. education and economic development
D. o ne black attorney for every 4,000 blacks
3. Blacks are not making progress at the expense of whites, according to the author, because ________
A. there are 49 percent more white in medical school today already
B. what whites give up is only unfair advantage
C. there are 64 percent more whites in law schools today
D. whites, the majority in the U.S., will never discriminate against themselves
4. William Raspberry, while commenting on the Bakke case, suggests ________ .
A. to follow what has happened in law and medical schools.
B. to interfere with what whites already have.
C. to offer 84 slots to whites and 16 to blacks.
D. to offer 100 slots to whites and 16 to blacks.
5. According to the author, ________,
A. Blacks are not making progress at white expense.
B. Affirmative action is an effective way to end job discrimination.
C. The things whites are giving up because of affirmative action are necessary.
D. Under affirmative action, white access to medical training was diminished.
Passage 2
I have observed that the Americans show a less decided taste for general ideas than the French. This is especially true in politics.
Although the Americans infuse into their legislation far more general ideas than the French, and although they strive more than the latter to adjust the practice of affairs to theory, no political bodies in the United States have ever shown so much love for general ideas as the Constituent Assembly and the Convention in France. At no time has the American people laid hold on ideas of this kind with the passionate energy of the French people in the eighteenth century, or displayed the same blind confidence in the value and absolute truth of any theory.
This difference between the Americans and the French originates in several causes, but principally in the following one. The Americans are a democratic people who have always directed public affairs themselves. The French are a democratic people who for a long time could only speculated on the best manner of conducting them. The social condition of the French led them to conceive very general ideas on the subject of government, while their political constitution prevented them from correcting those ideas by experiment and from gradually detecting their insufficiency; whereas in America the two things constantly balance and correct each other.
It may seem at first sight that this is very much opposed to what I have said before, that democratic nations derive their love of theory from the very excitement of their active life. A more attentive-examination will show that there is nothing contradictory in the proposition.
Men living in democratic countries eagerly lay hold of general ideas because they have but little leisure and because these ideas spare them the trouble of studying particulars. This is true, but it is only to be understood of those matters which are not the necessary and habitual subjects of their thoughts. Mercantile men will take up very eagerly, and without any close scrutiny, all the general ideas on philosophy, politics, science, or the arts which may be presented to them; but for such as relate to
commerce, they will not receive them without inquiry or adopt them without reserve. The same thing applies to statesman with regard to general ideas in politics.
If, then, there is a subject upon which a democratic people is peculiarly liable to abandon itself, blindly and extravagantly, to general ideas, the best corrective that can be used will be to make that subject a part of their daily practical occupation. They will then be compelled to enter into details, and the details will teach them the weak points of the theory. This remedy may frequently be a painful one, but its effect is certain.
Thus it happens that the democratic institutions which compel every citizen to take a practical part in the government moderate that excessive taste for general theories in polities which the principle of equality suggests.
6. Why do the Americans show less enthusiasm for general ideas than the French?
A. In America, the constitution provides checks and balances.
B. The French constitution did not allow for experiment.
C. The social conditions in France led to different ideas.
D. The Americans have always been in charge of their own public affairs.
7. Some people in different democratic countries prefer general ideas because______.
A. in politics it is easier to study general ideas
B. general ideas on different subjects are more interesting
C. they do not have time to address details.
D. mercantile men prefer general ideas on philosophy, politics, science and the arts
8. What does the writer think would inhibit people’s preference for general ideas?
A. Teaching them the weak points of the theory.
B. Encouraging them to take a practical part in their daily work practice.
C. Trying to make them abandon those ideas.
D. Compelling them to study details.
9. The writer’s conclusion is that ________.
A. people’s taste for general ideas can be diminished through taking a practical part in democratic
institutions
B. general theories in politics should be the most important part of democracy
C. citizens should be forced to take part in democratic institutions
D. the principle of equality must be paramount
10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The Americans have a more decided taste for general ideas than the French.
B. The Americans introduce far more general ideas into their legislation than the French.
C. Some political bodies in the United States have shown so much love for general ideas as the
Constituent Assembly and the Convention in France.
D. The political constitution condition of the French is helpful for the correction of those ideas by
experiment.
Passage 3
I have some difficulty in describing why I traveled to West Africa and what I was doing there, since the journey that become so complicated and took me to so many unexpected places seemed – in the beginning – to be so simple and so clearly defined. I went to Africa to find the roots of the blues. It had always been obvious that the blues sprang from a complex background, with much of it developing

Part I Reading Comprehension(2*25=50points) Directions:There are five passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them,there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Decide on the best choice. Passage1 Economic inequality is the“defining challenge of our time,”President Barack Obama declared in a speech last month to the Center for American Progress.Inequality is dangerous,he argued,not merely because it doesn’t look good to have a large gap between the rich and the poor,but because inequality itself destroys upward mobility,making it harder for the poor to escape from poverty.“Increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American Dream,”he said. Obama is only the most prominent public figure to declare inequality. Public Enemy No.1and the greatest threat to reducing poverty in America.A number of prominent economists have also argued that it’s harder for the poor to climb the economic ladder today because the rungs in that ladder have grown farther apart. For all the new attention devoted to the1percent,a new data set from the Equality of Opportunity Project at Harvard and Berkeley suggests that,if we care about upward mobility overall,we’re vastly exaggerating the dangers of the rich-poor gap.Inequality itself is not a particularly strong predictor of economic mobility,as sociologist Scott Winship noted in a recent article based on his analysis of this data.So what factors,at the community level,do predict if poor children will move up the economic ladder as adults?What explains, for instance,why the Salt Lake City metro area is one of the100largest metropolitan areas most likely to lift the fortunes of the poor and the Atlanta metro area is one of the least likely? Harvard economist Raj Chetty has pointed to economic and racial segregation,community density,the size of a community’s middle class,the quality of schools,community religiosity,and family structure,which he calls the“single strongest correlate of upward mobility.”Chetty finds that

2016年高考英语全国Ⅰ卷试题及答案
2016普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（新课标I） 英语试卷类型A 第Ⅰ卷 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitut e a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Heroic Driver Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.
