Divorce is often a complicated and messy process, and throws up many pities. Divorce Issues 　　Such painful issues as whether to sell your home, which parent will look after your children,and how it will affect any loans you may have, will all have to be resolved. And if you are divorcing your partner in Scotland rather, than in England and Wales then another set of laws will apply. 　　For many couples, obtaining a divorce has never been easier. The old-fashioned concept of establishing that one party is at fault has been committed to history and the important fact to establish now is that the relationship has "irreparably broken down". In Court or Online? 　　It is even possible to divorce your partner online, allowing you to save on legal costs – and according to online experts, this can save you about £700 from the average £800. However, this method is only suitable for very straight forward and uncontested divorces. Alternatively, you can apply for divorce at a county court in England and Wales, but to do this, couples must have been married for at least a year. 　　The first stage of divorce is obtaining what is known as a "Decree nisi (日后才生效的离婚判决书)”. This is granted if the court is satisfied the marriage has "irreparably broken down",and this is proven by showing one of five things: adultery (通*行为) ; unreasonable behavior；desertion on the part of one partner for at least two years; that the couple have been separated for　two years and both spouses agree to divorce; or that the couple have been separated for five years.Your spouse's "unreasonable behavior" must be so intolerable that nobody could reasonably expect　you to carry on living with him or her. It could include, for example, financial carelessness,drinking, gambling, or lack of emotional support. You cannot base your divorce on this if you　then live together for a period of more than six months afterwards. This rule also applies to　desertion, and the discovery that adultery has taken place. 　　The second and final stage is obtaining a "Decree absolute (绝对判决)". The divorce can　be stopped at any time until this is granted, so it is advisable to sort out all the financial and　practical details first. Using a Divorce Lawyer 　　If, as in the vast majority of cases, your relationship is complicat

Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes) 12、Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 12 to 16 are based on the following passage. 　　The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primitive weapons and the discovery of fire, although no body knows exactly when he acquired the use of the latter. 　　The origin of language is also obscure. No doubt it began very gradually. Animals have a few cries that serve as signals, but even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became sufficiently intelligent, we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discovered that speech could be used for narrative. There are those who think in this respect picture language preceded oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch. Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I am inclined to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man. 　　Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the domestication of animals; the second was agriculture. Agriculture was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age. Agriculture made possible an immense increase in the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully practiced. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads ( 游牧民族), but the agricultural way of life prevailed in the end because of the physical comforts it provided. Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given. 　　These inventions and discoveries, -- fire, speech-, weapons, domestic animals, agriculture, and writing -- made the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000B.C. until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to these. During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it. There was, of course, an immense extension in the area of

13、Which single factor is tended to have been considered by the author as the most important in the development of man?

14、Why did agriculture, which was previously resisted violently, finally prevail among the pastoral nomads as a way of life?

15、Compared with spoken language, writing makes it possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were ________when the information was given.

16、In the author's opinion, technical progress such as inventions of gunpowder and the mariner's compass during the civilized process cannot be________to the power of speech, writing and agriculture.

Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes) 17、Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some question 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. 　　What is sports violence? The distinction between unacceptable viciousness and a game's normal rough-and-tumble (混战) is impossible to make, or so the argument runs. This position may appeal to our inclination for legalism, but the truth is.most of us know quite well when an act of needless savagery has been committed, and sports are little different from countless other activities of life. The distinction is as apparent as that between a deliberately aimed blow and the arm hailing of an athlete losing his balance. When a player balls his hand into a fist, when he　drives his helmet into an unsuspecting opponent in shorts, when he crosses the boundary between playing hard and playing to hurt he can only intend an act of violence. 　　Admittedly, rough acts in sports are difficult to police. But here, too, we find reflected the conditions of everyday life. Ambiguities in the law, confusion at the scene, and the reluctance of witnesses cloud almost any routine assault case. Such uncertainties, however, have not prevented society from arresting people who strike their fellow, citizens on the street. 　　Perhaps our troubles stem not from the games we play but rather from how we play them. The 1979 meeting between hockey (曲棍球) stars from the Soviet Union and the National Hockey League provided a direct test of two approaches to sport the emphasis on skill, grace, and　finesse (技巧) by the Russians and the stress on brutality and violence by the NHL. In a startling upset, the Russians embarrassed their rough-playing opponents and exploded a long-standing myth: that success in certain sports requires excessive violence. 　　Violence apologists cite two additional arguments. First, they say, sports always have been rough; today things are no different: But arguments in America's Old West were settled on Main Street with six guns, and early cave-dwellers chose their women with a club. Civilizing influences ended those practices; yet we are told sports violence should be tolerated. The second contention is that athletes accept risk as part of the game, and, in the case of professionals, are paid　handsomely to do so. But can anyone seriously argue that being an athlete should require the acceptance of unnecessary physical abuse? And, exaggerated as it may seem, the pay of professional athletes presumably reflects their abilities, not a payment against combat injuries. 　　"Clearly we are in deep trouble," says perplexed former football player AL DeRogais. "But how and why has it gotte

22、Passage Two Questions 22 to 26 are based on the following passage. You don't need to look far for evidence that we Americans today don't place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even schools are where we send our children to get a practical education -- not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. 　　Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren't difficult to find. "Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual," says education historian and wrifer Diane Ravitch. "Schools could be a counterbalance. " Ravitch's latest book, Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces what she considers the roots of anti- intellectualism in our schools. Schools, she concludes, are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits. 　　But they could and should be. When we encourage our children to reject the life of the mind,we leave them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. If we continue along this path, says writer Earl Shorris, our nation will suffer. "We will become a second-rate country," he says. "We will have a less civil society. " 　　"Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege. " Writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. Animosity toward intellectuals is in our country's DNA. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book. 　　Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on .children: "We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing " Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized -- going to school and learning to read -- so he can preserve his innate goodness. 　　Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, reorder, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders,theorizes, criticizes and imagines. 　　School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country's educational system is in the grips of people who "joyfully and militantly proclaim their
