A century ago, American political leaders judged public opinions by people's applause and the size of crowds at meeting. This direct exposure to the people's views did not    41    produce accurate knowledge of public opinions. It did, however, give political leaders ___42    in their public support.
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas    43     each other seven times in the summer and autumn of 1858, two years before they became presidential nominees (总统候选人). Their debates took place before    44    in cornfields and courthouse squares. A century later most presidential debates, although seen by millions, take place before a few reporters and the technicians in television studios. The public's response cannot be    45    firsthand. This distance between leaders and followers is one of the difficult problems of modern democracy. The media provide information to millions of people, but they are not yet so    46    at providing leaders with feedback from the public.
Is government by acclamation (欢呼、欢迎) possible when the scale of communication is so large and impersonal? To make up for the    47    in their ability to experience public opinions for themselves, leaders have turned to science, in particular the science of opinion polling (民意调查).
It is no secret that politicians and public officials make    48    use of public-opinion polls to help them decide whether to run for office, what policies to support, how to vote on importa nt issues and types of    49    to make in their campaigns. President Lydon Johnson was famous for carrying the latest Gallup and Roper poll results in his pocket, and it is widely believed that he began to    50    from politics because the polls reported losses in public support. All recent presidents and other major political figures have worked closely with polls.

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)
The day began early.
An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before. They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise. But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only, and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs. It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short, though crowded, period of noise.
The morning came. Even before the morning, at half-past three o’clock, a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.
The number of the horns was most remarkable! It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns! “How many little boys are there? How many have we?” exclaimed Mr. Peterkin, going over their names one by one mechanically thingking he would do it, as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence, to put himself to sleep. The counting could not put him to sleep now, in such a loud noise.
And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed! Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes, and the ceasing of the horns. Why did not the signal come? Why didi not Elizabeth Eliza stop them?
And certainly it was long before sunrise; there was no dawn to be seen! “ We’ll not try this plan again,” said Mrs. Peterkin. “If we live to another Fourth,” added Mr. Peterkin, hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs.
Alas! Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them. Mrs. Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day, and they understood the day as be ginning when they went to bed the night before. This accounted for the number of horns.
It would have been impossible to hear any explanation;but the five minutes were over, and the horns had ceased, and there remained only the noise of a singular leaping of feet, explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight, that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drawning of the glorious day, the sunrise, or “the rising of the sons,” as Mr. Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities.
66. According to the passage, which event happened first?
A. Mr. Peterkin noted how many boys there were.
B. The Peterkins were awakened by the boys.
C. Elizabeth gave the signal to stop the horns.
D. Mr. Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had.
【参考答案】B
【考查内容】细节题
【试题解析】本题较难，学生易选错D答案，因为文中的““How many little boys are there? How many have we?” exclaimed Mr. Peterkin”；但是在上一段中“a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.”，可以看出是The Peterkins是先被吵醒的，所以本题选B.
67. What did the 7th paragraph talk about?
A. The palce where the boys blew their horns.
B. The time when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them.
C. The way how the boys blew their horns.
D. The reason why more horns were over there.
【参考答案】D
【考查内容】段落概括题
【试题解析】本题可以定位到第七段，根据最后一句“This accounted for the number of horns.”，意思是“这解释了horns的数量”，所以本题答案是D.
68. The probable main idea of this passage is that _______________.
A. the little boys didn’t carry out the agreement thoroughly
B. the little boys didn’t see the signal to stop blowing their horns.
C. the little boys blew horns to greet the dawn of July 4th so early.
D. the Peterkins enjoyed children’s blowing of the horns on July 4th.
【参考答案】C
【考查内容】主旨大意题
【试题解析】本题是概括全文大意题，根据第二段“An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before. They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise.”虽然后面出现了一些小问题，第七段“Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them.”因此推断出是庆祝这个节日，而且吹号角提前了1小时。
69. Which question is not answered in the story?
   A. When did the horn blowing begin?
   B. How long ago did the custom start?
   C. Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning?
   D. How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing?
【参考答案】B
【考查内容】细节题
【试题解析】本题细节题，要到文中找出答案。A，第七段“Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early.”。C，第二段“They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise.”。D，最后一段可以看出。只有B 文中是找不到答案。
                                          (B)
        Settling in to life at Oxford      
When you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike(most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.
One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at  the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.
International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.
Another good thing to experience early on is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.
Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website, and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces.

70. Which of the following is not the first thing for a newcomer to Oxford to do?
       A. to find a best place to socialize             B. to set up  a bank account
       C. to go to the Sheldonian Theatre             D. to get mobile phone working
答案：C
解析：第一段的最后一句话可以看出，只有C选项是没有包括在内的。所以C选项符合题干要求。
71. When do students feel they are truly admitted to Oxford University?
        A. They arrived in Oxford and settled down on campus.
        B. They received the offer from the admission office.
        C. They met the staff and took some required courses.
        D. They experienced the matriculation in the university.
答案：D
解析：由文章第二段最后一句话可知，只有当学生经历了录取入学的开学典礼之后，才能够正式被录取。因此，D选项符合要求。
72. Which is an orientation important for international students?
        A. It is a good chance to ask the staff for help.    
        B. It offers practical information about living and studying.
        C. It helps get students’ computers hooked to the Internet.
        D. It can help deal with the problem of culture differences.
答案：B
解析：由第三段开头句可知，对于国际学生，可以提供住宿和学习信息。因此，B选项符合题干要求。
73. “return the favor” in the passage probably means ______________.
        A. inviting you for dinner               B. visiting your historic college in return 
        C. sharing favorite videos               D. providing you with some good advice
   答案：A
   解析：由倒数第二段可知，你可以邀请人们到你的大学你请吃饭，然后他们也许会回请你。因此A选项符合题干要求。
(C)
When a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves. This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean’s surface move up and down violently. These waves move out from the boat in both directions. If you are captaining a smaller boat, you’d better steer clear of a ship’s wake, so that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing it to overturn
A wave is a pattern of motion. When you look at a wave, it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean. In fact, this is false. The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave. While the wave itself -- the pattern of motion – is moving across the surface of the ocean, the water is actually moving in a circular motion, which brings the water molecules back to their original position. The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.
If this is confusing, think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium. Viewed from a distance, the wave is clearly moving across the stadium. But the thing that makes up the wave – the people – are not moving across the stadium, they’re just moving up and down in their seats. This is just like the water in an ocean wave. A lot of water is moving up and down, which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave.
Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves. If you’re not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing, then you can’t surf. Usually, surfers gather in areas known for big waves – waves that rise high off the ocean’s surface. If the wave is bigger, then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks. The height of a wave is known as its amplitude. If you could make a wave freeze, then you could measure the wave’s amplitude by running a tape measure from the ocean’s surface to the very peak of the wave.
All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength. While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude – sometimes as small as a few centimeters – the wavelength can be very short, as lots of waves are being generated. By contrast, a tsunami has very high amplitude, sometimes more than 100 feet, but a relatively long wavelength, as it’s a high wave.
Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength. For example, think back to the cruise ship. While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat, the properties of each of the waves may be very different. For example, a larger cruise ship, with powerful engines, may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength. However, if the ship’s engines slow down, they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate. This would cause the waves’ amplitude to decrease, but its wavelength to increase.
74. What does the phrase “steer clear of a cruise ship’s wake” in the 1st paragraph mean?
A. keep awake while steering a ship
B. get a clear view of what is ahead
C. keep away from the cruise ship
D. follow the cruise ship very closely
【参考答案】C

Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is .Though much theory has accumulated ,little is reall y known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. It is true that great poets and ar tists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions, reason, and intuitions(直觉). But what is the magical synthesis(合成) that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?
      John L.Lowes, in his justly famous” The Road to Xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question. Imaginative creation. He concludes , is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “there is ….the deep well with its chaos(杂乱) of accidently mixing images ,but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form , and with the vision, the controlling will ,which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”
      The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts , ideas , feelings of the conscious activity. The imaginative vision , an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows , silently seeking pattern and form. Finally , the conscious mind again, through will , captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. In this way is unity born out of chaos.
      Though there can be no absolute certainty, there is general agreement  that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel(与….相似)， to some extent ,Lowes’s theory of well , vision , form and will. There are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work.
      In a sense, the period of preparation is all of the writer’s life. It is the deep well . It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer’s mind, he is ready to go on with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language , learning how to write, learning literary forms. It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea. Evidence, though not enough, shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it. It is the vision, according to Lowes, that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form.
