From Golda: the Life of Israel’s Prime Minister

The Struggle with Her Parents over Her Education

When Golda graduated as valedictorian of her class, her mother was elated. Now the girl could work full-time in the grocery store. Even in America girls were not expected to go to high school!

Golda, however, expected to go. And after some tearful arguments, her parents agreed. Papa had, for once, sided with her—albeit rather faintly. Perhaps he felt guilty that he, the breadwinner, actually earned so little. He was a wise, gentle, and scholarly man, but not cut out for business…

She had decided to become a teacher because such a profession was “intellectually and socially useful”. Mama, however, had found out that married women were not permitted to teach in local schools. “You want to be an old maid?” she screamed at Golda, “That?s what you?re studying for?”

Papa now sided strongly with Mama. Either Golda must quit school and go to work like other sensible girls her age, or she must transfer to a business school to be trained in subjects which would help her get a job and, who know, a husband too…

After running away from home and living with her married sister in Denver for two years, Golda won this battle too. She returned to Milwaukee to finish high school.

Golda’s Determination for a Jewish Homeland

Golda was still in high school when the First World War broke out in Europe. And with the war came dire reports of increased programmes. The Jewish Pale of Settlement lay, unfortunately, in the every territory where Russian and German-Austrian armies clashed most often in violent battle. When the White Russian Army fled in retreat, they slaughtered Jews in that section for being German sympathizers. When the Russians swept back and Germans fled from the same section, they murdered Jews for being Russian spies.

The White Russian armies and their bitter opponents, the Germans, seemed to agree on one tenet only: anti-Semitism. And they had ample opportunities for carrying out their battle cry: death to the Jews. Of the ten million Jews in Europe, eight million lived in the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires.

Millions of Jews were rendered homeless. Committees were organized to raise funds for the ever-swelling ranks of Jewish refugees who fled from one town to the next, trying to keep out of the way of the armies. Golda worked with the People?s Relief and with an organization called Aid in Need, formed by Jewish workers in Milwaukee to help hungry and homeless European Jews…

She felt broken apart inside. For nights she could not sleep. What good did it do, running around, making speeches, collecting money for a new generation of suffering, displaced, wandering Jews? There had been a better

英语试题第 2 页共16页

answer than this. There had to be one place in the world where Jews could at last be free form persecution. There had to be a Jewish homeland. And it must be created as soon as possible. All her beliefs suddenly solidified into one single purpose. As soon as she could, she would go to Palestine and devote her life to this goal. She joined Poale Zion, the Labour Zionist Party.

Gloda’s Talent as a Speaker

She set about making money for her passages to Palestine. She worked part-time at the Sixteenth Street and North Avenue branch of the Milwaukee Public Library. In the spring of 1916 she graduated.…She entered Milwaukee Normal School for Teachers and took a part-time job at a Yiddish-speaking folk school which advocated Labour Zionism. But even this seemed too far removed from her goal. So she started speaking for the Labour Zionists? Poale Zion.

The organization soon discovered that the eighteen-year-old girl had a remarkable talent as a speaker. They sent her on speaking engagements around the country. Her mission: to try to stir the complacent American Jewish youth, awaken them to the philosophies and the necessities of Labour Zionism.

One Friday night she was scheduled to speak in Milwaukee, not in a meeting room or an auditorium. She would speak on a street corner, standing on a soap box.

Her father heard about the plan and was horrified. “Women,”he thundered at Golda, “did not do such things!”His daughter stood on a soap box exhorting people on the street! “If you dare to go ahead with that speech,” he threatened, “I?ll come down there and pull you off home by your braids!”

“I?m sorry, Papa,” Golda said, firmly, “but the speech has already been announced.”

She took the precaution of telling members of Poale Zion that her father might create a scandal that evening, and since she did not cherish the notion of being dragged off the soap box, she asked that they form a protective circle around her as she spoke.

This was done. But it was almost unnecessary, for the crowd which gathered on the street corner that night was so large that Moshe Mabovitch would have had a hard time shoving his way through. Most of the bystanders had stopped out of curiosity. It was not every day that one saw an attractive young girl standing on a soap box and talking about a faraway land called Palestine. They soon found themselves spellbound, caught up by Golda?s impassionate oratory.

As she spoke, Golda noticed her father at the edge of the crowd; noticed thankfully that he did not, after all, seem bent on making a scene.

Afterward, Poale Zion members gathered around her with congratulations. It was a fine speech. One of the best she had ever made…

When she got home, her mother was sitting at the kitchen table sewing.

“Where is Papa?”

“In bed.”

英语试题第 3 页共16页

Her mother looked up. She was smiling a little. “He came in. He sat down. He shrugged. He said, …Where did she get this talent for speaking?? Then he stood up. He said, …God knows what this girl may be able to do!?And he went to bed.”

From that night onward the Mabovitches offered no more objections to anything Golda wanted to do. They seemed to realize that they had somehow bred a very special child. Their best contribution now would be not to interfere…

Many years later, when the new country called Israel was about to be born, its leader, David Ben-Gurion, would proclaim, “Some day when our history is written, it will say that there was a Jewish woman who raised the money which made this nation possible.”

The Jewish woman he referred to was Golda.

1. Shortly after graduation, Golda went on to finish high school.

2. During the First World War, many Jews were killed by the White Russian Army because they were thought to be sympathetic towards Germans.

3. Golda worked with an organization called Aid in Need to help hungry and homeless American Jews.

4. Golda?s classmates and teachers in Milwaukee Normal School always supported her.

5. Golda started to make money for her passages to Palestine because she was determined to create a Jewish homeland.

6. Golda was only 18 years old when she was discovered to have a remarkable talent to deliver speeches.

7. Golda?s father decided to make a scene after she insisted on delivering a speech in public.

8. Most of the bystanders stopped to listen to Golda?s speech on the street corner out of curiosity.

9. Golda was sure that her father would not drag her off the soap box.

10. The Mabovitches began to realize that they had bred a very special child when the new country called Israel

was established.

Part V. Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) （请将此题答在答题卡上）

Directions:There are five passages in this part. 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 choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school. And, by the time that the average child finishes high school, he or she will have spent 18,000 hours in front of a television set as opposed to 12,000 hours in a classroom.

Parents are concerned about these figures. They are also concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Even if it is unreal — a cartoon cat beating up a cartoon mouse with a baseball bat — this violence may have a negative effect on the young minds exposed to it. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.

Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.

Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is “Sesame Street”, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.

Even though most parents and educators give “Sesame Street” and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather

英语试题第 9 页共16页

than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.

We still do not know enough about the effects of watching television to be able to say whether or not it is good for children. Until we do, perhaps it would be wise to put a warning on television sets such as the one on cigarette packages: “Caution: Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Your Child?s Developing Mind.”

62. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A) cartoon programs are not harmful if they are not real

B) children may imitate what they have seen on television

C) parents are strongly opposed to children watching TV

D) the quality of children?s programs is not the parents? main concern

63. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage about parents?attitude toward

commercials?

A) It is not beneficial for children to watch too many commercials.

B) Advertisers are not always telling truth in commercials.

C) Children should never watch commercials on TV.

D) There shouldn?t be too many commercials in children?s programs.

64. Some critics argue that children should not watch TV because ________.

A) they can benefit little from educational programs

B) there is too much violence on TV

C) TV programs are often of poor quality

D) watching TV makes them become inactive and dull

65. Which of the following best summarizes the author?s opinion?

A) We should limit the children?s time in watching TV.

B) We should improve educational programs for children.

C) No commercials should be shown in children?s programs.

D) TV programs may prevent children from developing their minds.

66. The best title for the passage would be ________.

A) Education and Television B) Bad Influence of Television

C) Children and Television D) TV Programs for Children

Passage Two

Questions 67 to 71 are based on the following passage.

Born in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, where his father practiced law, Burrhus Frederick Skinner attended local schools until 1922. He then entered Hamilton College in New York, hoping to prepare himself for a literary

英语试题第 10 页共16页

career. He graduated with a degree in English and with special honors in Greek, in 1926.

During his last year at Hamilton, Skinner sent some short stories he had written to the poet Robert Frost, hoping for some helpful criticism. Much to Skinner?s amazement, Frost replied enthusiastically, encouraging the young author to pursue a writing career. Skinner took the advice seriously and set aside a block of time following graduation in which to apply himself to his chosen discipline. In looking back on this year, Skinner wryly that while he did indeed learn to write well, he also discovered that he had nothing important to say!

To remedy the situation, he returned to academia — this time as a graduate student in psychology. He had done much reading during his year away from school, and in the course of it, had come upon the works of John B. Watson, the famous American behaviorist. The story of Watson?s pioneering efforts excited Skinner?s interest and thus determined his decision to study psychology.

Skinner was accepted at Harvard and there earned his Ph. D. in experimental psychology in 1931. He continued with post-doctoral work until 1936, when he accepted a teaching position at the University of Minnesota. Throughout this period, Skinner had been formulating and testing his theories on conditioning. So impressive were the results he achieved in controlling the behavior of laboratory animals, that the US government employed him in a top secret project during World War II. Skinner was given funding to condition pigeons to guide missiles directly down the smoke-stacks of enemy naval destroyers.

67. It can be learned from the second paragraph that ________.

A) Frost gave an encouraging response to Skinner?s short stories

B) Skinner disregarded Frost?s advice as important

C) Frost considered Skinner untalented as a writer

D) Skinner did not work hard to make writing his career

68. The word “remedy” in the first sentence of the third paragraph could best be replaced by ________.

A) set aside B) take apart C) put right D) size up

69. What changed Skinner?s mind from writing to psychology?

A) Watson?s works. B) Frost?s encouragement.

C) His father?s advice. D) the US government?s decision.

70. Which of the following in NOT true according to the passage?

A) Skinner graduated with a degree in English in 1926.

B) Skinner decided to pursue a writing career after he graduated from Hamilton.

C) Skinner decided to return to college because he found he had nothing important to say in writing.

D) Skinner graduated from Harvard University with a Ph. D. in experimental psychology in 1936.

71. Skinner was employed in a top secret project during World War II mainly because ________.

A) he had a brilliant academic record as a highly successful graduate student

英语试题第 11 页共16页

B) his theories on conditioning appealed to the mentality of some high-ranking military officers

C) he had made remarkable achievements in controlling the behavior of laboratory animals

D) he was able to condition pigeons to guide missiles directly down the smoke-stacks of enemy naval

destroyers

Passage Three

Questions 72 to 76 are based on the following passage.

Traditional farmers in Latin America maximize the security of their harvest by using the natural genetic diversity of their principal food crops as fully as possible. The highland farmers of Mexico and Central America cultivate four varieties of maize (which we call corn): yellow, white, blue-purple, and red.

For cultural reasons, yellow maize is considered unfit for human consumption and suitable only for animal feed. Because most of the farmers are too poor to afford to keep large animals, yellow maize is not widely grown. Of the remaining three varieties, white maize is the most productive and is the principal food of the local people. White maize is planted first because it takes the longest to mature. Blue-purple maize is considered to have excellent taste but is less productive than white maize. It is used to replant those portions of fields where white maize has not germinated well. Red maize is considered the worst tasting and least productive of the edible varieties, but it has the advantage of the shortest growing season. It is used as an emergency survival food, to be planted only where both white and blue-purple varieties have failed. Multicolored maize thus functions as crop insurance by giving farmers three opportunities to obtain a complete harvest.

In recent years, agricultural development personnel have attempted to persuade traditional peasant farmers to adopt hybrid maize as part of the package of Green Revolution agricultural inputs, which include chemical fertilizers and insecticides. The farmers have generally rejected the so-called modern technologies, however, because the single-color hybrid varieties would result in a potentially life-threatening loss of self-sufficiency. The new hybrid varieties also cost more to grow but fail to produce more grain than the traditional varieties do. Latin American small farmers are anxious to raise their productivity, but they will adopt new products only when they are truly superior, both culturally and economically.

72. According to the passage, why do the farmers cultivate several varieties of maize?

A) Because they want to be sure to get a good harvest.

B) Because the soil quality varies from one place to another.

C) Because they like the beautiful colors of different varieties.

D) Because they can be planted in different seasons.

73. Of the four varieties of maize, which is fit for human consumption but has bad taste?

A) Yellow maize. B) Blue-purple maize.

英语试题第 12 页共16页

C) White maize. D) Red maize.

74. What does the word “germinated” in the second paragraph mean?

A) planted B) used C) grown D) brought

75. According to the third paragraph, the farmers have generally rejected hybrid maize because ________.

A) they are hostile to unfamiliar technologies

B) they do not like its dull color

C) they have no money to buy chemical fertilizers and other things needed

D) they do not feel secure to adopt the new variety in place of the old one

76. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A) Yellow maize is considered unfit for human consumption because it contains some harmful substance.

B) White maize is considered to have excellent taste.

C) The single-colored hybrid varieties have not been proved to be superior to traditional ones.

D) Latin American small farmers are too conservative to adopt hybrid maize.

Passage Four

Questions 77 to 81 are based on the following passage.

Nobel Prize-winner Sir John Sulston called for reform of the drug patent system yesterday to allow faster stockpiling and wider access to the potentially life-saving antiviral flu drug Tamiflu in the UK and around the world. He spoke as the drug company Cipla announced that it would be making its own copies of Tamiflu, which it will sell to countries in the developing world that may need it in the event of a pandemic. Generic manufacture of the drug is not permitted in the UK, Europe or the US. Intellectual property legislation gives Tamiflu?s manufacturer, Roche, a monopoly on sales and marketing of the drug, which is now in huge and urgent demand around the world as the threat of a pandemic is perceived to be increasing.

Britain has ordered more than 14m courses, but so far has 2.5m and delivery of the rest will not be completed for another years. The drug is not a cure for flu, but reduces the severity of a bout (疟疾等的发作) as long as it is taken within the first 48 hours of the onset of symptoms, and could therefore save lives. Sir John, winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine for his work on the human genome (基因组), said yesterday that the intellectual property laws were an obstacle to faster and wider access to Tamiflu.

“A major problem in the decision-making processes of government is that drugs are very highly priced, this is because of the way the intellectual property system works,” John said on BBC radio 4. The system rewarded companies for the investment they made in creating drugs by allowing manufacturers to set high prices without competition, but it did not help get universal access to needed medicines. If we reform intellectual property so as to separate the creative process of research and development from the production of drugs, thereby making them cheaper, we will be a great deal better off.

英语试题第 13 页共16页

Yesterday Cipla?s chief executive, Yusuf Hamied, who helped bring down the prices of Aids drugs to Africa by making generic copies, said his company would make a version of Tamiflu. Cipla would breach patent laws if he sold the drug to any of the 49 least developed countries under the World Trade Organization?s rules. Roche filed its patent for Tamilu in 1995. No vaccine against the dangerous strain H5N1 bird flu yet exists, because in the process of being transmitted to humans and then from humans to humans, it will mutate (变异). However, David Slisbury, the head of immunization at the Department of Health, said manufacturers were beginning to make a vaccine they hoped would protect against H5N1 and the UK had ordered 2.5m doses.

77.Yesterday Sir John Sulston advocated a reform of the drug patent system on ________.

A) producing potentially life-saving medicine

B) making more profit out of the drug business

C) preventing stockpiling from growing

D) providing wider access to antiviral flu drug

78. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A) In the UK, Europe or the US, the generic manufacture of Tamiflu is permitted.

B) Roche, Tamiflu?s manufacturer, has a monopoly on sales and marketing of the drug.

C) Cipla claims that it will sell Tamiflu to developed countries in case of an epidemic.

D) Tamiflu is a kind of antiviral flu drug now in adequate supply throughout the world.

79. The word “onset” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.

A) departure B) feature C) beginning D) attack

80. What can we learn from John Sulston?s remarks on BBC radio 4?

A) Competition exists between drug companies due to the intellectual property laws.

B) Intellectual property legislation allows wider access to the drugs needed.

C) The process of research and development is separated from the production of drug.

D) Intellectual property system allows drug companies to set high prices.

81. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A) Up to now, there exists no vaccine against the dangerous strain H5N1 bird flu.

B) Hamied announces that he will sell the drug to the 49 least developed countries.

C) The World Trade Organization announced that Yusuf Hamied had breached patent laws.

D) Hamied helped cut down the prices of flu drugs to Africa by making generic copies.

Public health refers to the protection and improvement of the health of the public through community action, primarily by governmental agencies. Public health includes four major areas: (1) the promotion of positive health; (2) the prevention of disease as well as injury; (3) the organization and provision of services for diagnosis and treatment of illness; and (4) the recovery of sick and disabled persons to their highest possible level of function. Inclusion of these four major areas among the concerns of public health agencies was expressed on a worldwide scale in 1948, when health was defined by the World Health Organization, or WHO, to include physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.

This broad area of public health represents, in a sense, a rediscovery of ancient concepts. As long ago as 3000 BC, cities on the Indian subcontinent had developed environmental sanitation (卫生) programs such as the provision of underground drains and public baths. Essential aspects of health were incorporated into daily activities, including personal hygiene (卫生), health education, exercise, codes of conduct and self-discipline, dietary practices, food and environmental sanitation, and treatment of minor illnesses and injuries.

This tradition was also highly developed in ancient Greece and Rome and has persisted to the present, but it has been outshone in the 20th century by the great advances in the prevention and treatment of disease. Only in recent decades has a renewal of interest in positive health occurred. This is shown by the important research conducted on people?s health and by the widespread recognition of the value of physical exercise in achieving positive health and well-being.

Everyone seems to be in favor of progress. But “progress” is a funny word. It doesn?t 87 mean that something has become stronger, wiser or better. It simply means changing it from being one thing to another and sometimes it 88 out to be worse than before.

89 medicine, for instance. No one can deny that medical progress has enriched our lives tremendously. Because of medical 90 , we eat better, live easier and are able to take care of ourselves more efficiently. We can cure disease with 91 one injection or a pill. If we have a serious accident, surgeons can put us 92 together again. If we are born 93 something defective, they can repair it. They can make us happy, restore our sanity (心智健全), ease our pain, replace 94 parts and give us children. They can even bring us back from death. These are wonderful achievements, but there is a 95 we have to pay.

Because medicine has reduced infant mortality (死亡率) and natural death so significantly, the population has been 96 steadily, in spite of serious 97 to reduce the rate of population growth. Less than a century ago in the United States, infant mortality 98 more than half of her newborn 99 the first year of life. Medical advances, 100 , have now reduced that rate to nearly zero. A child born in the United States today has 101 than a 90 per cent chance of 102 . Furthermore, medical advances have ensured that most of those infants will live to be seventy years of age 103 more, and even that life 104 increases every year. The result of this progress is an enormous population increase that threatens the 105 of life, brought 106 by progress in the medical profession.
