Part II Cloze(每小题1分，共20分)
Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.
The weather may be cold and wet, but in the rich world’s financial markets it is beginning to feel like August all over again. Credit spreads have widened and shares are 21 from gloom to elation as 22 look to the Federal Reserve for solace. The 23 is unmistakable. But this time the scare is about more than bad mortgage loans and their 24 effect on the credit markets. America may be falling into 25 . And a new fear now stalks the markets: that the dollar’s slide could 26 out of control.
A full-blown dollar crisis on top of a credit crunch and a weakening economy would be 27 . It would send financial markets reeling and 28 the hands of the Fed, perhaps forcing it to raise interest 29 even as recession looms. The sky-high euro would 30 further, choking off Europe’s growth. 31 tensions would also rise. 32 Airbus has called the dollar’s 33 “life-threatening” and France’s president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has given warning of “economic war”.
At 34 , the shadows could darken further. For half a century the dollar has been the hegemonic currency. A large slice of global trade is counted in dollars.

So far, this remains only a fear. Whether disaster strikes depends on what exactly is driving the dollar 40 and on how policymakers react.

Part III Reading Comprehension （共40分）
Section A: （每小题2分，共20分）
Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
One hundred years ago, four German architecture students felt the predominant style was dull. They decided to look for new forms of artistic expression. They later came to be seen as pioneers and founders of the art movement known as Expressionism. On June 7, 1905, these four young men founded the first expressionist group. They named their group “Die Bruecke” (the Bridge) because they believed their world would serve as a bridge to the future. In June, exhibitions and events are being held to mark the 100th anniversary of expressionism in Berlin, its birthplace.
Expressionists used rich, bold colors and distorted objects for emotional effect. The painting’s purpose was to reflect the artist’s state of mind and inner feelings rather than the reality of external world. The four Bruecke members had been influenced by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, and the French impressionists. One of the earliest and most famous examples of Expressionism is Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night”. The group held a joint exhibition of paintings in November 1905. They were influential during the first third of the 20th century and affected literature, film, architecture and music.
Traditional artists of the time were trying to paint objects exactly as they were. To them, Expressionism appeared messy and unlovely. “They changed the perspective, squeezed space in an unexpected way,” said German art historian Ulrich Bischoff. When seeing an expressionist painting for the first time, many may wonder how it differs from Impressionism. Both schools are colorful and use outdoor subjects. The expressionists learned from the French, but they had their own ideas about painting. Unlike Impressionism, Expressionism’s goals were not to reproduce the impression that the surrounding world gave. The expressionist replaced the real appearance with his own mental image of the object what he felt represented its real meaning.” The young painters expressed their new concept of beauty and their inspiration from nature in pure, bright colors and in spare lines,” says German historian Birgit Dalbajewa.
41．The first expressionist group come into existence when four German architecture students _____.
A. wanted their new paintings to function as bridge to the future
B. were inspired by Dutch and Norwegian pioneering artists
C. learned from traditional art and created their own forms of artistic expression
D. got tired of the mainstream style and began to try new forms of artistic expression
42．Which of the following is characteristic of Expressionists according to the passage?
A. They use rich, bold colors and abstract shapes.
B. They paint in a unique perspective and abstract shapes.
C. They look neat and attractive to common people.
D. They paint objects in their actual way to express natural beauty.
43．Expressionism had far-reaching influence in that _____.
A. Expressionist painters held a grand joint exhibition in November 1905
B. it had impact on literature, film, architecture and music in the early 20th century
C. Expressionism was popular in not only Germany but also France and Holland
D. Expressionism changed people’s concept of beauty
44．The essential difference between Expressionism and Impressionism lies in that _____.
A. Expressionism’s goal is to show the painters’ mental image of the object
B. Expressionism intends to show the painters’ thorough understanding of the world
C. Impressionism means to record the real appearance of the object
D. Impressionism’s goal is to record the inspiration from the beauty of nature
45．Which of the following best serves as the title of this passage?
A. The 100th anniversary of Expressionism
B. Expressionism: its origin and influence
C. Expressionism: it’s all about inner feelings
D. Expressionism VS Impressionism【答案与解析】
41．D 根据第一段第一二句话“One hundred years ago, four German architecture students felt the predominant style was dull. They decided to look for new forms of artistic expression.”一百多年前，4位建筑系学子觉得主流建筑风格很无聊，于是他们决定用新的艺术形式来抒发自己的情感。很容易看出答案为D。
42．B 根据第三段第三句话“They changed the perspective, squeezed space in an unexpected way, said German art historian Ulrich Bischoff.”说明Expressionism的角度很特别。根据第二段第一句话“Expressionists used rich, bold colors and distorted objects for emotional effect.”说明A是错误的，根据最后一段第一句话“Traditional artists of the time were trying to paint objects exactly as they were. To them, Expressionism appeared messy and unlovely.”说明C，D选项是错误的。
43．B 根据倒数第二段最后一句话“They were influential during the first third of the 20th century and affected literature, film, architecture and music.”说明答案为B。
44．A 根据最后一段倒数第二句话“Unlike Impressionism, Expressionism’s goals were not to reproduce the impression that the surrounding world gave. The expressionist replaced the real appearance with his own mental image of the object what he felt represented its real meaning.”我们可知，Expressionism不是为了再现周围的世界，而是将自己脑袋中物体的形象画出来。
45．B 本文第一段讲了表现主义的起源，第二段讲了表现主义的特点与影响力，最后一段讲了表现主义与印象派的区别，所以总的来说本文讲的是表现主义的起源与影响力。
Passage Two
In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence—as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.
Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. “Talk, talk, talk,” the advocates of violence say, “all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.” It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. “Possible, my lord,” the barrister replied, “none the wiser, but surely far better informed.” Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.
