For centuries the most valuable of African resources for Europeans were the slaves ,but these could be obtained at coastal ports, without any need for going deep inland. Slavery had been an established institution in Africa. Prisoners of war had been enslaved, as were also debtors and individuals guilty of serious crimes. But these slaves usually were treated as part of the family. They had clearly defined rights, and their slave status was not necessarily inherited. Therefore it is commonly argued that Africa's traditional slavery was mild compared to the trans-Atlantic slave trade organized by the Europeans. This argument ,however ,can be carried too far .ln the most recent study of this subject, some scholars warned against the illusion that "cruel and dehumanizing enslavement was a monopoly of the West. Slavery in its extreme forms ,including the taking of life, was common to both Africa and the West. The fact that African slavery had different origins and consequences should not lead us to deny what it was - the exploitation and control of human beings. "Neither can it be denied that the wholesale shipment of Africans to the slave plantations of the Americas was made possible by the participation of African chiefs who rounded up their fellow Africans and sold them as a handsome profit to European ship captains waiting along the coasts.
Granting all this ,the fact remains that the trans-Atlantic slave trade conducted by the Europeans was entirely different in quantity and quality from the traditional type of slavery that had existed' within Africa. From the beginning the European variety was primarily an economic institution rather than social ,as it had been in Africa. Western slave traders and slave owners were acted on by purely economic considerations ,and were quite ready to work their slaves to death if it was more profitable to do so than to treat them more mercifully. This inhumanity was reinforced by racism when the Europeans became involved in the African slave trade on a large scale. Perhaps as a subconscious rationalization they gradually came to look down on Negroes as inherently inferior ,and therefore destined to serve their white masters. Rationalization also may have been involved in the Europeans' use of religion to justify the traffic in human beings. It was argued ,for instance ,that enslavement assured the conversion of the African evil-believing religions to the true faith as well as to civilization.
46.1n the first paragraph, the author argues that
[ A] the Europeans were innocent in the trade of African slaves.
[ B] slavery in Africa and in the West was the same in nature.
[ C] the view in the most recent studies of enslavement is baseless.
[D] slaves had been treated even more cruelly in the African tradition.
正确答案：B
Text 2 参考译文几个世纪来，非洲拥有的对于欧洲人来说最有价值的资源是奴隶，但是这些奴隶可以从港口地区获得，没有必要深入非洲大陆。奴隶制度在非洲由来已久。奴隶主要来源于战犯、欠债者、罪行严重的罪犯。但是这些奴隶往往被看做是家庭成员。他们拥有明确的权利，而且他们的奴隶身份不一定是世袭的。因此，人们普遍认为，非洲传统的奴隶制度要比欧洲人组织的跨大西洋的奴隶贸易温和。但是，该观点有失偏颇。 2009年9月参考答案及精析第4页（共12页）在关于该问题的最近的一项研究中，一些学者反对人们将“残酷而不人道的蓄奴行为完全归咎于西方国家。奴隶制度下那些极端残酷的事件，包括屠杀奴隶，在非洲和西方国家均有发生。非洲奴隶制度的起源及造成的后果都不同于西方奴隶制度的事实，不应该使我们因此否认非洲奴隶制度在本质上是对人类的剥削及控制。”而且我们还不能否认，大规模运送非洲奴隶到美洲种植园是在非洲部落首领的参与下完成的，这些部落首领将他们的同胞围捕起来，然后高价卖给那些在海岸周围等待的欧洲船长们。虽然非洲的奴隶制度与西方的奴隶制度本质上一致，但是欧洲人组织的跨大西洋的奴隶贸易在数量上和质量上完全不同于非洲传统的奴隶制度。最初，欧洲蓄奴主要出于经济原因，而并不像非洲是出于社会因素来蓄奴。西方奴隶贸易者和奴隶拥有者完全为了获得经济利益而蓄奴，当他们认为把奴隶累死要比友善地对待他们更加有利可图时，他们会毫不犹豫地选择前者。当欧洲人大规模进行奴隶贸易时，种族主义加强了欧洲人对待奴隶的非人道程度。可能这正是源于一种潜意识上的合理化观点，该观点使得他们逐渐将黑人看做是天生低人一等，因而注定要听从于他们的白人主人。这种合理化观点同样使得欧洲人利用宗教来合法化奴隶贸易。例如，欧洲人认为，蓄奴使非洲信仰邪恶的宗教转变为真正的信仰及文明。答案及解析 46．B【精析】该题为细节题。根据第一段倒数第二句“The fact that Af- rican slavery had different origins and consequences should not lead us to deny what it was-the exploitation and control of human be- ings.”我们知道，尽管非洲当地的奴隶制度与欧洲的奴隶制度有着不同的起源和不同的结果，但是我们应该承认其本质仍然是对人类的剥削和控制，因此非洲及西方国家的奴隶制度在本质上是相同的，故选择B项。 -

第9题：
问答题Nowadays more young people can enjoy university education than in the past, but they are faced with another problem: job hunting. Most graduates find it hard to find a satisfactory job, and some have to stay jobless for several years. What do you think may have caused this problem? Write a composition of about 400 words to explain your point of view. The title has been provided for you.Problems in university students' job hunting In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a toss of marks.正确答案：
Problems in university students' job hunting Many years ago, most young people could not go to university because university only accepted a small amount of students. To their delight, young people now find it easier to go to university, but to their dismay, they also find it harder to find jobs. How come university students, who are intelligent, ambitious and knowledgeable, have difficulty in finding jobs? There are several reasons to account for this problem.
One important reason is that nowadays university students pursue too high a goal. Most of them dream to work in office buildings, and hold contempt for jobs in places where things are made or sold. Some care too much about some minor factors, such as salary, location or comfortableness of the working place. Because of these, students usually narrow down their selections, thus making it harder to find a proper job. For example, most students want to work in cities or in coastal areas, such as Shanghai, Beijing or Guangzhou. Although talents are badly needed in some western provinces, the graduates are unwilling to go there. This naturally makes it hard to find a job in some areas and hard to find a talent in some other areas.
Another reason is that the majors some students study in universities do not fit in with the demands of the vacant jobs. As the society is developing so quickly, university cannot catch up with it and offer courses to satisfy all requirements. Besides, there are some majors where not many graduates are needed but are admitting many students each year. When these students graduate, they may find that there are almost no vacancies that really need their knowledge. Majors like history or philosophy are examples of this type.
The last reason is that some employers raise too strict requirements on graduates. Because students stay on campus, most of them do not have time to work. But most companies just want to employ people with at least two-year working experience. This can keep many students from applying for the jobs. Some employers also just want boys, and then the girls will lose the chance of applying for the jobs.
From the above discussion, we can see that students, universities, and employers should all be responsible for the problems in the job market. To solve the problem, graduates should hold reasonable expectations, university should offer courses to meet the latest requirements of the society and flexibly adjust admission policy, and employers should raise sensible requirements on candidates. If all these three parties make joint efforts, university students will soon find that finding a job is not as hard as they expected.解析：
这道题要求谈论原因，即why it is hard for university students to find a job。作者从学生个人的期望值过高、学校课程陈旧和雇主要求太高三个方面进行了阐述，要点合理恰当。引言段采用对照法开头，用一个问题引出讨论主题，保证了文章中心思想的清晰明了。正文段中，作者按照个人、学校、社会三个方面的顺序安排要点，符合由小到大的顺序，保证了文章的通顺。论据方面，除了推理以外，我们还可以发现很多例子，这就增强了文章的说服力。 -

单选题Passage1One of the world's first videogames，Tetris，has turned thirty years old，and its brand is anything but old school.But what's kept people swiping and clicking to ensure each row of blocks stays aligned and disappears into the virtual world since its development in 1984 Soviet Russia？A combination of new platforms and an attracting psychological appeal.Maya Rogers, the CEO of Blue Planet Software, the sole agent of the Tetris brand, said the protection of the game's core over the last three decades has aided its longevity. As mobile and social become two of the largest sources for gaming these days, Tetris isn't showing any signs of losing its appeal. Currently appearing on over 50 different gaming platforms, from the 1983Nintendo Entertainment System(NES) to smartphones, Tetris is sold on over 425 milion mobile devices. More than 20 billion games of Tetris Battle have been played on Facebook, too. There's something psychologically entrancing about the game, that's kept people hooked through the years."Play a game of Tetris," said Rogers," and satisfy your craving to create order out of chaos."Plus, there's the added quality of playing Tetris and never feeling wholly fulfilled."There's no correct move that you can make,"said Neubauer, a loyal player of the game who work as a senior analyst at Saibus Research, an independent research and advisory firm," The quest for the perfect move never ends."Tom Stafford,a professor of cognitive development and psychology at Sheffield University in the U.K, says that Tetris has been around so long because it transports gamers into a different realm when they play."It's a world of perpetually generating uncompleted tasks, "he said. As he's said in the past, too, "Tetris is the granddaddy of puzzle games like Candy Crush saga-the things that keep us puzzling away for hours, days and weeks.""Tetris is pure game: there is no benefit to it, nothing to learn, no social or physical consequence,"he added."It is almost completely pointless, but keeps us coming back for more."Since it was developed, Tetris has been ________.Aapplied for no more than 30 years
Bno longer attracting and popular
Cbuilt a solid footing in the puzzle game market
Dupdated into more intricate model
