【題目】Almost everyone accepts the fact that crime can never be wiped out entirely. Thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world. The question lawmakers must answer is, “Which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” Each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions then determine how criminals are punished under different systems. However, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. There are many ideas about punishment of criminals. Some systems look only to (傾向于) get retribution (懲罰) against criminals. These systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future.

These systems also try to deter (威懾) others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught committing crimes. Rehabilitation (悔過) is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate. The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. The idea is to help change the person's behavior and approach so that he or she becomes a law-abiding citizen.

Capital punishment is another form of punishment which systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. In these cases, the person is put to death. Today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. Many countries have done away with it. In other words, capital punishment remains only in officially law books but is rarely used. However, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States.

【1】The police around the world usually concentrate their attention on_______ .

A. how to catch the person who commits crimes

B. how to punish the person who commits crimes

C. how to control crimes

D. how to determine the system of punishment of criminals

【2】Different purposes of the systems of criminal punishment are mentioned in the passage except_________ .

A. to frighten criminals and stop them from committing crimes again

B. to warn others in society not to commit crimes

C. to reform criminals and help them return to society

D. to help criminals get some knowledge of law

【3】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many countries including the USA have got rid of capital punishment.

B. In some countries capital punishment can only be found in law books, but it is hardly used.

C. Capital punishment is only used in extreme criminal cases.

D. Some countries including China still use capital punishment

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

試題分析：幾乎每個人都接受的事實——犯罪永遠不能消滅盡然。因此，控制犯罪成為全世界警察和政府的焦點。

【1】C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句Thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world.因此對犯罪的控制已變成了全世界警察和政府的焦點。故選C。

【2】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句These systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future. 這些系統(tǒng)是為了嚇唬罪犯，讓他們在未來遠離重復犯罪�？膳懦鼳項；根據(jù)第二段第一句These systems also try to deter (威懾) others in society。這些系統(tǒng)也是威懾社會上的其他人。可排除B項；根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society這些系統(tǒng)的目標是將前一個罪犯歸回社會可排除C項。文中未提到D項的內(nèi)容，因此可知只有D項符合題意，故選D。

【3】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States.死刑仍然在包括美國在內(nèi)的一些國家使用。A項的意思是：包括美國在內(nèi)的很多國家已經(jīng)廢除了死刑。故選A。

As we all know, different countries have different cultures. The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 【1】

The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 【2】

Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 【3】 Like the Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European one a lot.

【4】 Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干擾) from the other.

The differences are everywhere. 【5】 But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障礙) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.

B. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.

C. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.

D. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

E. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.

F. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.

G. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

【題目】Plastic surgery(整容手術) is not only popular in the US, but is also sweeping across Asia. It is reported that South Korea is now the world’s largest market for plastic surgery.

In order to change their looks, 20 percent of women aged between 19 and 49 in Seoul said they had gone under the knife. The growth of South Korea’s pop music industry increases the popularity. Many patients visit clinics (診所)with photos of singers, asking doctors to copy their noses or eyes.

Joo Kwon, who founded one of the largest clinics in Seoul, recently opened a hotel to better serve customers. People will spend about US$I7,675 in a single visit. An increasing number of clients are non-Koreans, from China, Japan, the Middle East and even Africa. Leaders in South Korea say that this will help the Korean economy.

However, Mr. Kwon warned that young people should be careful when seeking such operations. “I think South Korea doesn’t understand the word “beauty”, because everyone looks pretty much the same. It is also related to low self-confidence. I think the situation will somewhat become better in future as the society becomes more different. But it will take quite a bit of time until we get there,” he told reporters.

Last year, a booklet was given out to Korean high school students by the government. There is a story that a local woman who was crazy about plastic surgery ended up with an ugly face.

【1】What is the main cause of the increase in plastic surgery in South Korea?

A. The increasing understanding of beauty.

B. The increasing number of clinics.

C. The rise of the pop music industry.

D. The rise of the Korean economy.

【2】 What is Mr. Kwon’s attitude towards plastic surgery?

A. He feels it is worth a try

B. He is strongly against it.

C. He is not interested in it.

D. He is objective about it

【3】We can learn from the last paragraph that ____ .

A. plastic surgery is supported by the government

B. high school students are encouraged to have plastic surgery

C. high school students in South Korea are fond of plastic surgery

D. plastic surgery is bad for people’s health

【4】 What is the main idea of the text?

A. How to have plastic surgery.

B. Why women have plastic surgery.

C. The famous singers in South Korea.

D. Rapid growth of plastic surgery in South Korea.
