Susan Sontage （1933—2004）was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of

literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html, 电话：010-******** Email: cnzj5u@https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html,

everything---to read every book worth reading ,to see every movie worth

seeing .When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important

magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture

life ,trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art .With

great effort and serious judgement. Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.

Seriousness was one of Sontage‘s lifelong watchwords(格言), but at a time when the

barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued

for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In ―Notes Camp‖, the 1964 essay

that first made her name ,she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult

understandings, through which she could not have been more

famous .―Notes on Camp‖,she wrote, represents ―a victory of ?form‘ over ?content‘,

?beauty‘ over ?morals‘‖.

By conviction （信念）she was a sensualist （感觉论者）, but by nature she was a

moralist （伦理学者）,and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s , it was

the latter side of her that came forward. In illness as Metaphor —published in 1978,

after she suffered cancer —she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a

special problem of repressed personalities （被压抑的性格）, a concept that effectively

blamed the victim for the disease. In fact , re-examining old positions was her life

long habit.

In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in

California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless all-purposer

cultural view that she made her lasting fame. ―Sometimes,‖ she once said ,―I feel that,

in the end, all I am really defending …is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.‖

And in the end ,she made us take it seriously too.

With the World Cup always held in the European off-season in June and July , when

the tiny nation of Qatarm beat out USA Australia, Japan and South Korea, as the

venue （地点）the 2022 World Cup Soccer, there were gasps of surprise from the fans

– it was not just because of the size of the competitors, but also the fact that Doha sees

an average top temperature of 41 degrees Celsius (106°F) in June and July with the

possibility of top temperatures as high as 50°C (122°F). While shifting the World Cup

to the cooler month.

Since the World Cup cannot be moved to the ?cooler‘ season in January or to a

neighboring country with milder weather, Qatar has to figure out a solution to make

the game more comfortable. A team of engineering scientists from Qatar University

(QU) have taken a more high-tech approach to solving the problem – they've

reportedly developed a type of artificial "cloud" designed to float above the World

Cup venues and provide fans and players with relief from the blazing sun.

The artificial clouds system was invented by a team led by Dr Saul Abdul Ghani,

Head of the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at QU, who told Gulf

News that the "clouds" would be made from a lightweight carbon structure carrying a

giant envelope of material containing helium （氦） gas. The "cloud" would also

feature solar panels on its upper surface to power engines that allow the cloud to be

moved via remote control. While the country officials have promised to improve some

of the issues with solar-powered stadiums capable of reducing the temperatures inside,

to a comfortable 20℃(68°F),there is still concern of how the players will be able to

function in the practice fields.

The system would initially cost around US$500,000, with prices coming down with

commercial scale production. However, since Qatar needs to find a solution, the

money is probably to the issue. The bigger question is, will this team of scientists

actually be able to conjure up （兑现）something that they have promised? We will all

find out in about eleven years!

66．By mentioning ―the European off -season‖, the author tells us .

A ．why the World Cup is held

B ．where the host countries of the World Cup

are

C ．where the World Cup is usually held

D ．when the World Cup is held

67．The artificial clouds system aims to .

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html, 电话：010-******** Email: cnzj5u@https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html,

A ．carry a giant envelope of material containing helium gas

B ．air-condition the venues via solar power

C ．feature solar panels on its upper surface

D ．allow the loud to be moved via remote control

68．Which of the following is NOT promised for 2022 World Cup by Qatar?

A ．The tournament season.

B ．The tournament venues.

C ．The comfortable temperature for training grounds.

D ．The comfortable temperature for the matches.

69．About how much US dollars are estimated if four artificial clouds float above

stadiums?

A ．$ 1,600,000

B ．$ 2,500,000

C ．$500,000

D ．$ 2,200,000

A ．Will the 2020 World Cup Be Held in the Middle East?

B ．Qatar‘s 2022 World Cup in High Temperature

C ．Will Man-Made Clouds Provide Shade at the 2022 World Cup in Qaltar?

D ．Artificial Clouds at High Cost Promising Comfortable Season

Part IV Writing (45 marks)

Section A (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the

information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

There are many reasons why you might not tell all when your doctor asks you to list

the medications you are taking. But there is one very good reason why you should tell

all: your health. Or you may encounter a drug interaction, a situation in which a

substance affects the activity of a drug.

Even though drug reactions and interaction are responsible for only about 3.8 percent

of emergency department visits, many of these cases are serious.

Medications have become an important component of good medical care, often taking

the place of surgery or other invasive procedures. Pills are thought to be good cures

for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol （胆固醇）and they are also used to treat

depression and other kinds of diseases. As a result, people prefer to take combined

medications, thinking they all work for good.

At least 25 percent of Americans over age 65 take three or more medications daily-in

many cases, prescribed by different doctors. Any of these medications can cause an

unfavorable reaction. When two or more are taken at the same time, there is a risk of a

drug interaction. Further increasing the risk, 40 percent of American adults regularly

have herbal remedies （药物）or vitamins – often in combination with prescription or

over-the-counter medications and usually without the knowledge of their doctors.

To avoid the bad effects, you should follow the instructions. Y our doctor will tell you

when and how the medications are to be taken and if they are to be taken with or

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html, 电话：010-******** Email: cnzj5u@https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html,

without certain foods. These instructions are important to ensure that the drug does its

job effectively.

It's a good idea to go to the same doctor regularly so he can be familiar with the drugs

you are taking. And be sure to consult him before starting to take herbal remedies or

vitamins. Finally, new medications are coming onto the market all the time. All the

possible reactions and interactions are not always known. Be alert to symptoms and

report them immediately to your doctor.

Section B (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the

information given in the passage.

Bicycle rental companies in Beijing are going broke, because nobody wants to hire

their services. Major rental operators have invested about 100 million yuan （$14.7

million ） in almost 20,000 bicycles but are now struggling to survive.

A spokesman from the Bird of Freedom Bicycle Rental said the company has already

sold most of the 400 bicycles. ―This is a difficult business, especially when it is cold.

The cold weather almost killed the business,‖ he said.

Bigger rental companies are also facing challenges. Beijing Bicycle Rental Co Ltd,

which owns 8,000 bicycles, has invested more than 30 million yuan over the past year.

Wang Y ong, chairman of the group, said his company had not made a profit since it

began in 2005.

Almost all bicycle rental companies in Beijing require deposits of 300 to 400 yuan

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html, 电话：010-******** Email: cnzj5u@https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a6760072.html,

and then customers need to pay 10 yuan or more per hour. ―I don ‘t want to pay 400

yuan to rent a bike. It ‘s too dear,‖ said Zhang Yu, a student in Communication

University of China, who does not own a bike and often takes motorized rickshaws.

―If renting for one day will cost 20 yuan and I rent a bike for five days, I can use the

money to buy a new one."

Although facing economic ruin, some enterprises are still hoping that conditions will

improve.

IbikeMedia, one of the biggest bicycle rental companies in China, also invested tens

of millions yuan in Beijing and has more than 10,000 bicycles. Li Weiwei, general

manager of IbikeMedia Beijing, said his company has a poliey of no deposit and no

payment. He said the company tried to put advertisements on the bicycles and in this

way , they could make profits. But they had not made a profit yet because of its small

scale. However, customers must pay 20 yuan per card and also show proff of good

personal credit.

In early July , the Beijing municipal government announced plans to develop a

50,000-bicycle rental operation across the city . ―The bigger network we have, the

more citizens will rent bikes,‖ Li said. ―This will make rental easier to citizens and we

strongly need help from the government.‖

81．In which season is the bicycle rental business the most difficult in Beijing? (no

more than 2 words)

82．List the reasons why Zhang Yu is not willing to rent a bike. (no more than 7

words)
