My Favorite Course
If you ask me which course I like most, I will tell you (1)off the top of my head, “English!”
(2)As we know, the English course often includes listening, speaking, reading and writing, which are indispensable to each other. You need to pronounce the words correctly in order to identify them when you are listening. A good pronunciation also helps you spell the words correctly. (3)More importantly, we have to increase our vocabulary and build our grammar at the same time. (4)In addition, English is fairly easy for us to learn, compared with many other foreign languages.
The reason why I enjoy English so much is that it has opened a new world to me. I can gain far more information than before from the Internet — I have read a lot of latest articles, which are written in English, about my major, International Trading. (5)Moreover, but for English, I couldn’t have made friends with foreign students, exchanging ideas on various topics.
(6)In short, whether I will pass the CET-4 or not, English is and will be forever my favorite course without any doubt.
(1)“不假思索”，表明對(duì)英語(yǔ)的喜愛(ài)之深。
(2)引起第二段。
(3)“更重要的是”，句際過(guò)渡。
(4)“此外”。
(5)“并且”。
(6)總結(jié)全文。

As you all know, the United States is a country on wheels. Nearly eight million new cars are made each year; four households out of five own at least one ear, and more than a quarter have two each. Yet you’ll be surprised to learn that some of the car-owners even suffer from malnutrition(營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良).
In 1968, a nation-wide survey of malnutrition was made for the first time. It found that 10 million people are suffering in health through inadequate feeding; the causes of their plight(困境)were varied. Unemployment over a long period should be considered as the main factor. And unemployment, strange to say, nine times out of ten results from automation, both in industrial and agricultural areas. For example, in the rural South when a cotton plantation suddenly cuts its force from 100 people to three, the problem to help the displaced arises. So is the case with industrial automation. In fact, probably 2 million jobs are made unnecessary each year in the whole country as a result of the automation process, thus making unemployment a chief social concern. According to government statistics, the number of people unemployed was over 5 percent for the period from 1958 to 1963. In July 1981, it rose to 7.8 percent. As a matter of fact, it has long been known that even during the most prosperous periods there have been people without enough to eat. So I think that’s why President Kennedy said in his inauguration speech in 1961, if the government did not help the poor, it could not save the rich.
In 1966, the Social Security Administration calculated that a family of four needed an income of $3,355 a year to be above the line of poverty. And in 1977, the average poverty line of the country was slightly more than $6,200 annual income for a non-farm family of four. According to the Social Security Act, families of that size below poverty line are eligible to receive benefits from the special welfare program. The average weekly payment of benefits now is equivalent to 36 percent of the worker’s normal wage. And the number of people who receive government benefits is increasing. In 1973, social insurance payments by governments, mainly to old age pensioners and people who had lost their jobs or were off work through illness, amounted to $86,000 million. Those not fully qualified for insurance payments received $29,000 million in public aid.
But problems still exist. Many people are not reached by the anti-poverty program, because local authorities and agencies do not want to play their part or do not gave the resources to do so. Some poor people will not accept help for various reasons. Of course, there are some more important factors which lie in the structure of the society, but I don’t consider it necessary to dig into them here. Yet we will perhaps agree that social welfare programs have solved to some extent the problems of feeding, clothing and housing those below the poverty line. On the whole, it perhaps might be said that American people are living a better life than people in most other countries.

A. about one-fourth Americans own two cars B. a bit over one out of four households are the owners of two cars
C. nearly 8 million new cars drive in the country every year D. 80% Americans have at least one car

4. The word “eligible”(Line 6, Para.3) is synonymous with “_______”
A. necessary B. urgent C. needed D. worthy
5. Americans are living a better life than those in most of other countries because, to some degree, _____.
A. many Americans receive benefits from the special welfare program
B. some poor people can receive help for some reason or other C. there is the anti-poverty program in the U.S.
D. social welfare programs have some measure settled the problems of those below the poverty line.
答案：BCADD
Feminist sociolinguists(社會(huì)語(yǔ)言學(xué)家),over the course of the last few decades,have conducted studies that they believe support the conclusion that women are routinely discriminated against in Endlish-speaking society.They point to the words used to describe women,as well as the words used to describe society as a whole,as indications that the English language ,and therefore the English-speaking culture,is slanted towards the advantage of males.
The words used to describe women are used as instrument by feminist sociolinguists to denote an inherent sexism in the English language.Word pairs such as master and mistress and sir and madam,they claim ,epitomize such sexism.All of the words in question once held positive connotations but,while the masculine (男性的)forms have retained their respectable associations,the feminine forms have undergone pejoration and now imply sexual promiscuity(混雜) and other negative characteristics.Feminist researchers assume that such pejoration indicate that the status of women in English-speaking society is relatively low.
These researchers also find fault with the use of masculine words to describe unisex entities .For example ,they feel that there is nothing inherently mainly about mankind, the best man for the job,or the common man.Similarly,the use of such constructions as the “the average students is worried about his grades” indicate to these researchers an inherent sexism in English that is reflective of the cultures in which they are produced .
Carolyn Jacobson ,author of Non-sexist Language has proposed a solution to this conundrum(難題).She advocates the elimination of all sexed words in favor of gender-neutral terms.No longer should we refer to actors and actresses or waiters and waitresses, as such dichotomies(男女有別) allow for the possibility of negative connotations being associated with the feminine designation.Likewise,she believes that phrases such as mankind should give way to human kind and that the use of the masculine pronoun as the default should be abandoned in favor of neutral constructions.Thus, when sexism is eliminated from the English language ,the culture will be more amenable to he deliverance of women as well .
1. The primary purpose of this passage is to_____
A compare and contrast ideology in various cultures B prove a commonly held belief to be wrong
C describe a problem and a possible solution D analyze the historical origins of a modern situation
2 According to the passage,gender-neutral constructions should be advocated because_____
A the elimination of sexism in the English language will precede the elimination of sexism in the culture
B they are more grammatically sound than sexed structures
C unisex terms are less awkward in casual speech D sex-specific terms always carry negative connotations
3 The author refers to mankind ,the best man for the job,and the common man in order to_____
A demonstrate the superiority of males in English-speaking society
B provide an example of speech that is slanted towards the advantage of males
C list the characteristics of the feminist socialinguist movement
D discount the notion that the English language discriminates against women
4 The word“perjoration most probably means_____
A negative connotation B positive connotation C sexual characteristic D respectable characteristic
5 In favor of gender-neutral terms,which of the following words can be used to describe unisex entities?
A mankind B chairperson C superman D dragon lady
