Just 30 seconds of winding provides 35minutes of playing time. The handy integrated LEDflashlight gives this crank radio one more emergencyuse, though it's so stylish you will want to use it anytimeand anywhere.The crystal clear casing showcases the excellence of the engineering and engages users by converting human energy to pure listening pleasure. A full charge provides 25 hours of playing time. No disposable batteries required.Reg Price: $59.00New Year's Sale: $49.00The Kiran Solar LanternThis lantern is five times brighter than a kerosenelantern and will shine light for up to eight hours on afully charged battery. Not only can you charge it, usingthe solar panel, but it can be plugged in and chargedthrough an AC charger as well. It provides 360-degreelight and has a handle with multiple-settings to allowfor flexible usage. It has protection for over-chargingand has an all around tough design. In order to get afull charge the lampneeds eight hours of sun while it requires four hours of AC charging. This will give you four hours of light on the high setting and eight on the low setting.The lamp retails for only $10.The Frosted Scroll Solar-Powered LanternMost solar lights are used with plants and make your garden lookmuch better. Well, instead of sprucing up your plants, you can add alittle mood lighting to your deck or porch. This lamp could even beused indoors, if you make sure it stays close to a window to get thefull charge it needs to run. This is not the usual solar lamp found ingardens, which is exactly what makes it so appealing.

This one comes with an on/off switch, so that you can choose when to use up the charge. You can purchase the lights individually for £24.99 or about $39.Fill in each blank with no more than three words according to the passage.New ProductionsSection B (10 marks)Property Prices "Causing Distress"Six out of 10 Chinese white-collar workers say they are fatigued by work and other pressures, a survey has found. The number 1 cause of anxiety is the ever-increasing cost of housing and property, the survey reported. About 76 percent of office workers are over-worked and not entirely healthy, according to samples from 3 million health checks in 15 cities.Less than 3 percent of the respondents interviewed are completely healthy, said the White Paper on the Health of Chinese White-collar Workers, released on Sunday by the Chinese Medical Doctors' Association.The survey interviewed people aged between 26 and 45, with monthly incomes of between 5,000 yuan ($732) to 10,000 yuan. Many higher-income people between the ages of 35 and 50 are biologically 10 years older than their actual age, with declining health, the survey said.Buying property ranks as the most significant cause of pressure for 46 percent of those interviewed, followed by parents' health, difficulty in finding a spouse, and children's education.The increasing gap between income and housing prices is causing the most stress and some 85 percent of families cannot afford to buy a house, the survey said. The ratio of housing prices to family income should be three to six times, while in China the ratio this year is expected to reach 8.3, far beyond reasonable, the Economic Blue Paper published yesterday by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reported. The survey said that the land supply system and developers' land stockpiles have also contributed to the out-of-reach property prices.Commercial property prices have gone up 5 to 10 percent, with a square metre costing between 4,935 to 5,280 yuan. From January to August of 2009, developers invested 2,111 billion yuan in property, up 14.7 percent from the previous year. Revenue from the sale of commercial property was 2,346.3 billion yuan, up 69.9 percent from 2008.Property prices are the talk of the town, and this topic reached a peak in 2009 as the Chinese television drama, Dwelling Narrowness, became a hit with many viewers across the country. The 35-episode series has touched a nerve with city dwellers who empathize with the characters in the drama, according to media reports. Caught in a debate between reality and morality, the audience could not help but connect with the distress and pressure experienced by the characters, caused by the cost of living in a city, according to television analysts.Most young college graduates and migrant workers who settle into jobs in big cities would prefer to buy an apartment rather than rent, according to media reports. However, rising housing prices make owning an apartment very difficult. Ownership creates a burden that costs parents' their entire savings or results in decades of mortgage loans.Wang Ke, a purchasing manager with a monthly salary of 10,000 yu'an, had to borrow money from her grandmother for the down payment for her apartment. With a monthly mortgage of 4,000 yuan, Wang said saving money is now virtually impossible. "Housing prices go up every day, though my salary doesn't," she said.Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage and the picture? Write:Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is" not given in the passage.61. The survey of stress on Chinese white-collar workers was co-conducted by the Beijing HealthProtection Association and the Chinese Medical Doctors' Association.62. Forty-six percent of those interviewed did occasional exercise and felt that property prices are themajor pressure.63. The ratio of housing prices to family income in China is lower than the usual standard. Fill in each blankwith no more than three words to complete the sentences according to the passage.64. Commercial property prices have increased by ______________ percent according to the survey.65. Wang Ke, who took part in the survey, bought her apartment by borrowing money from _________ forthe down payment and paying a monthly mortgage.Section C (10 marks)Lisa Tyler was weary after a long, hard day at the pottery factory where she works, but as she approached her home in the English city of Stoke-on-Trent, her heart lightened; soon she would be having a nice cup of tea, putting her feet up and watching Friends, her favorite TV series. But first, she needed to change out of her work clothes and pick up her three-year-old son from his grandmother's house nearby.As Lisa walked up her garden path, she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. What if it was a burglar? Quietly, she crept round to the back of the house to see if there was any sign of a break-in. Sure enough, a window was open and someone's coat was hanging on the gatepost!Well, 26-year-old Lisa didn't fancy coming face to face with a burglar, so she ran to a neighbour's house and rang the police. As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa's curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on. That's when she saw a leg coming out of the downstairs front window. It was a man climbing out. Lisa gasped in shock. The burglar was carrying her portable television!At this point, Lisa saw red. She didn't have many possessions and she'd saved long and hard to buy that set. Besides, nobody was going to stop her watching Friends."Oh no, you don't." she muttered under her breath, as fury swelled inside her. Without even stopping to think, she tore across the garden and started shouting at the burglar, "Give me my TV -drop it now! "Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden, so Lisa threw herself at him and successfully rugby tackled him to the ground. The burglar struggled to escape, but Lisa hung on like the best kind of guard dog, despite being punched and kicked. As she looked up, she realized that she recognized the burglar's face. She was so surprised that she lost her grip and the burglar got away, leaving the TV behind in the garden.By the time the police and her father arrived, Lisa was in tears. "I can't believe you were so foolish, Lisa," scolded her father. "You could have been killed.""I know, but at least he didn't get my TV." she replied.Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school.He was later caught and jailed for 15 months after committing a burglary and assault. In May last year, Lisa was given a Certificate of Appreciation by Staffordshire police for her "outstanding courage and public action". In the future, however, she intends to leave household security to a new member of her family, Chan, who is a real guard dog.Answer the questions in no more than 10 words.66. What first led Lisa to think there was a burglar in her house?67. Why didn't Lisa wait in her neighbor's house until the police arrived?68. What does "Lisa saw red (in the 4th paragraph)" most probably mean?69. What did the burglar do when Lisa shouted at him?70. How did Lisa help to catch the burglar later?Section D (10 marks)Melting GlaciersSeveral glaciers in the Alps have already disappeared in as fewas 40 years. In the Patagonian ice fields of Argentina, someglaciers have receded one and one-half kilometers in the last 13years. In the Himalayan Mountains, glaciers are melting so fastthat runoff sometimes floods the surrounding areas. Their fateis a preview of the future of other glaciers on Earth.The shrinking of the world's glaciers will have massiveconsequences for communities that depend on ice melt for theirwater. In the short-term, these consequences mayappear beneficial. For example, extra water from glaciersmeans that hydroelectric dams will run at maximum power. Inthe long run, however, the melting of Earth's glaciers could becatastrophic. Today's extra hydroelectric power has been stolenfrom the future. Communities with ample power now may havenone after the glaciers have melted and have stopped fillingreservoirs. Likewise, water for irrigation, drinking,transportation, and nuclear power stations will slow to thelevels provided solely by rainfall. The loss of ice will increasesea levels worldwide.Temperature change and a lack of snow is causing the retreat of the glaciers. According to many scientists, our planet is getting warmer. In the Alps, for example, temperatures have risen an average of 1-1.5 degrees Celsius (1.8-3 degrees Fahrenheit) since 1850. During the same period, Alpine glaciers in Switzerland have lost about half of their volume. Likewise, temperatures have changed in the Tien Shan Mountains in southern Kazakhstan. Researchers there have discovered a small rise in temperature, 0.5 degrees Celsius, over the last 50 years and even this is enough to reduce glaciers dramatically over time.As temperatures have increased, precipitation has decreased. Glaciers no longer build up during snowy winter months which also contributes to their decrease in size over in the long run.The warming of our globe is often blamed on human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, especially in industrialized nations. Automobile emissions and industrial waste are increasing the quantity of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, possibly causing increased temperatures. However, scientists have not definitively tied human activity to the current temperature rise.Some scientists argue that global warming may be a normal trend of the Earth's temperature violations. One theory argues that we are near the end of a so-called "Little Ice Age", and that the retreat of the glaciers is a natural result of this cycle. Whether natural or produced by humans, there is little hope for the immediate future of glaciers as we know them.Complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage.Part V Translation (20 marks)Section A (10 marks)Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Top UK Universities Warn of Damage from Budget CutsThe heads of 20 of the UK's most prestigious universities have warned that government plans to cut funding will lead to a higher education "meltdown".In an article for the Guardian, the Russell Group said the gold standard education they now offer would be reduced to one of bronze or worse. (76) Universities are facing cuts of more than £900m over the next three years, and fear worse is still to come. The government said funding for frontline teaching was protected.The strongly worded article by the university heads is intended as a dire warning against forcing universities to bear the brunt of the need to slash public spending after the general election.It said: "(77) It has taken more than 800 years to create one of the world's greatest education systems and it looks like it will take just six months to bring it to its knees. Such huge cuts in university budgets would have a devastating effect not only on students and staff, but also on Britain's international competitiveness, economy and ability to recover from recession."The Russell Group, which includes Oxford and Cambridge universities as well as Warwick and Glasgow among others, said the upshot would be universities facing the closure of hundreds of courses, with fewer academic staff and bigger closes. (78) It said reports suggested that as many as 30 universities might not survive in their current form if even minimal funding cuts were introduced.The article also highlighted higher education spending in other countries. "(79) Nicolas Sarkozy has just announced an investment of 11 billion Euros in higher education in France, stating he wants 'the best universities in the world," it said. "Germany pumped a total of 18 billion Euros into promoting world-class research alongside university education, while Barack Obama ploughed an additional US$21 billion into federal science spending."(80) The article calls for ministers to consider reversing proposed cuts and for assurances that no further cuts will be imposed.Section B (10 marks)Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into English.

If you plan to have a holiday with your children, what is the best place?60.What w ill you enjoy most in Bron Afon Self Catering?Section B(10 marks)The giant panda,the creature that has become a symbol of conservation ,is facing extinction. The major reason is loss of habitat, which has contitued despite the establishment of 14 panda r eserves . Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clear ing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains,has drastically contracted th e mammal’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda’s habitat has been cut dow n or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda ―islands‖ in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals ar e loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and w ill inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be su sceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas –the cycle of flowering and subsequent wither ing of the bamboo that is their staple food –can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherw ise sedentary populations. In pandas, however, bamboo flower ing could pr ove catastrophic(灾难性的)because the pandas are unable emigrate.The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by China’s Ministry of Forestry and the W orld Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda habitats and ensuring that populations are linked wherever possible. This plan w ill change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new r eserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation.The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to gover nment officials. Question 61 to 65: C omplete the summary w ith words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, only one word for each blank.The survival of the giant panda is being seriously (61) .This is largely because the overall size of their habitat has been reduced. As a result, pandas are more prone to problems and are unable to (62) around freely, following the growth cycles of (63) plant. A new plan aims to protect existing panda (64) and to join some of them together. This plan also involves reforestation and the creation of new reserves. To succeed, everyone, (65) both the government and individuals, will have to cooperate.Section C (10 marks)Honda has developed a way to read patterns of electr ic currents on a person’s scalp as well as ch anges in cerebral blood flow w hen a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating.67 In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters, a person wearing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand –a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached to his head inside the helmet.68 Honda said the technology w asn’t quite ready for a live demonstration because of possible distractions in the person’s thinking.Another problem is that brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic r esearch stage, with no imm ediate practical applications in the works.69 Japan boasts one of the leading robotics industries in the wor ld, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth. Research on the br ain is being tackled around the wor ld, but Honda said its research was among the most advanced in figuring out ways to read brain patterns without having to hurt the person, such as embedding (植入) sensors into the skin . Honda has made robotics a centerpiece of its image, sending Asimo to events and starring the walking, talking robot in TV ads.70 ―Our products are for people to use. It is important for us to understand human behavior, ‖ he said.―We think this is the ultimate in making a machine move.‖Question 66:Choose the best answer according to the passage.66. What does Honda say about its robot Asimo?A. It can detect a person’s way of thinking.B. It can imitate complex human movements.C. It is still in its experimental stage.D. It is ready for market distribution.Question 67 to 70: Choose the most appropriate of the follow ing par agraphs that fit into questions 67 to 70 in the passage.A. ―I’m talking about dreams today,‖ said Yasuhisa Arai, executive at the Honda Research Institute in Japan, the company’s research unit. ―Practical uses are still way into the future.‖B. Among the challenges for this brain technology is making the reading-device smaller so it can be por table, according to Honda.C. After several seconds, Asimo, pr ogrammed to respond to these brain signals, lifted its right arm.D. Honda succeeded in analysing these thought patterns, and thenrelayed them as wireless commands to Asimo, its human-shaped robot. Section D (10marks)Being an introvert is a bad thing, r ight? Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by th e number of articles I’ve read about how to ―cure‖ introversion. In response to these articles, I wrote The Introverts Str ike Back, in which I argued that introverts can’t become extraver ts, and they shouldn’t particularly want to.However, I’m not here to debate whether it’s better to be an introvert to an extravert. The fact is, we all have to interact w ith both types of people every day. Regardless of which type you are, you can greatly improve your relationships by learning to get along better w ith people of the other type. Here are some tips for getting started.For Introverts:*Indicate to others w hen you’re busy.When an extravert sees you reading, writing, or maybe just thinking, he might assume that the only reason you are doing this is because you don’t have someone to talk to. So he thinks he’s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation, when he’s actually interrupting.To prevent this, be sure to give an indication that you’re in the middle of something and don’t want to s ocialise right now. This can be a visual sign or verbal.I know one person who tended to get a lot of visitors at work, and while he was actually an extravert, the frequent visits were slowing him down too much. He put a sign on his door saying ―If I don’t make eye contact or respond to you, I apologize. I’m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understanding.‖ While I don’t think many people need to go that far, it certainly worked!*Realise that extravert s often need to talk.Because extraverts are more in touch with the external world, for them talking is something as necessary as breathing. They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people, and they might need to chat in order to boost their energy.For an introvert, this can be the most difficult part of dealing w ith an extravert. The same conversation that energises the extravert also drains the intr overt. How ever, keeping in mind that the extravert is not being intentionally malicious, the introvert has at least two options for handling this in a polite way. They can patiently participate in the conversation, and then, when it’s over, recharge by being alone. Or they can cut off the conversation early by mentioning something else they ne ed to be doing, or even by saying, ―I’d like to help, but I’m not sure that I’m the r ight person for you to be talking to.‖Of course, sometimes a conversation can be very enjoyable for an introvert, in w hich case this isn’t a problem.For Extraverts:*Ask if someone is busy before spending time with them.If someone appears to be lonely, they might not be. Even if they’re just sitting there and don’t seem to be doing anything, they could be deep in thought and not want to be interrupted.If you need something, try to ask for it up front. Otherwise, look for clues that they might not feel like talking right now, such as lack of eye contact.If they seem uninterested, don’t take it personally. Y ou just don’t know what you’re interrupting.*Understand what a draining effect a conversation can have on someone.No matter how fabulous a person you are, keep in mind that intr overts simply prefer their internal w orld to the external wor ld. They might start off with a fully changed battery, but while they’re enga ged in conversation, that battery is steadily draining. How long it lasts depends on various factors, but be sure to keep an eye out for when they’re starting to lose interest. Be more to the point w ith introverts, and save most of your chatting for extraverts who will appreciate it more.Questions 71 to 74: Complete each of the follow ing sentences with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS according to the passage.71. Introverts are advised to to prevent interrupting when they are in the middle of something.72. For extraverts, having a conversation w ith people can be as important as73. An important clue that someone might not feel like talking w ith you r ight now is74. It is necessary to remember that introverts tend to focus more on Question 75: Choose the best answer according to the passage.75. What is the passage mainly about?A. Whether it is better to be an introvert or an extravert.B. How to get along with both introverts and extr averts.C. How to avoid embarrassment in conversations.D. One should be neither an introvert nor an extravert.Part V T ranslation (20marks)Section A (10 marks)Translate the under lined sentences in the following passage into C hinese. Rem e m ber to wr ite the answers on the answer sheet.A soaring dropout rate is causing the United Stated to lose ground educationally to r ivals abroad and is trapping millions of young American at the very margins of the economy. (76)The Obama administration acknowledges the pr oblems in its new budget, which includes a $50 million prevention programme, but solving this problem w ill require a lot more money and a comprehensive national strategy.The alarming scope of the dropout crisis is laid out by the C enter for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston and the Alternative Schools Network in Chicago. (77)Their study, which examines data from the 12 largest states, finds that 16 percent of people fr om the ages of 16 to 24 have dropped out.(78) The problem is especially pronounced among men, who make up more than 60 percent of those who change school nationally. The dropout problem hits minor ities really har d.(79) Many of this country’s lar ge urban high schools are r ightly called ―dropout factor ies‖ because more students leave school than graduate. According to the study, state dropout rates are highest in the South, where Gerorgia (22.1 percent), Flor ida (20.1 percent) and Texas (18.5 percent) lead the w ay.(80) The dropout cr isis presents a clear danger to national prosper ity, but at the moment, states and localities are struggling to contain it w ith little help or guidance from the federal government. C ongress, which is just waking up to this issue, can improve the situation by the putting its money and muscle behind proven programmes that have been shown to re-engage young people who have dropped out, and that keep at-risk children on track to complete their educations.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in brackets.

Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higherinto the mammal’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda’s habitat has been cut down or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented;a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda ―island‖in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.In these circumstances, a more tradition threat to pandas –the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food – can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherwise sedentary populations. In pandas, h owever, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic(灾难性的)because t he pandas are unable emigrate.’s Ministry of Forestry and The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by Chinathe World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda habitats and ensuring thatpopulation are linked wherever possible. This plan will change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation.The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials.Question 61 to 65: Complete the summary with words from the passage, c hanging the form where necessary, only one word for each blank.The survival of the giant panda is seriously (61) .This is largely because the overall size of their habitat has been reduced. As a result, pandas are more prone to problems and are unable to (62) around freely, following the growth cycles of (63) plant. A new plan aims to protect existing panda (64) and to join some of them together. This plan also involves reforestation and the creation of new reserves. To succeed, everyone, (65) both the government and individuals, will have to cooperate.Section C (10 marks)Honda has developed a way to read patterns of electric currents on a person’s scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating.In a video shown atTokyo headquarters, a person wearing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand –a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached his head inside the helmet.Honda said the technology’s thinking.wasn’t quite ready for a live demonstration because of possible distractions in the person Another problem is that brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic research stage, with no immediate practical application in the work.Japan boasts one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth. Research on the brain is being tackled around the world, but Honda said its research was among the most advanced in figuring out ways to read brain patternswithout having to hurt the person, such as embedding (植入) sensors i nto the skin . Honda has made robotics a centerpiece of its image, sending Asimo to events and starring the walking, talking robot in TV ads.―Our products are for people to use. It is important for us to understand human behavior, ‖ he said.“We think this is the ultimate in making a machine move.‖Question 66: Choose the best answer according to the passage.66. What does Honda say about its robot Asimo?A. It can detect a person’s way of thinking.B. It can imitate complex human movements.C. It is still in its experimental stage.D. It is ready for market distribution.Question 67 to 70: Choose the most appropriate of the following paragraphs that fit into questions67 to 70 in the passage.said Yasuhisa Arai, execute at the Honda Research Institute inA. ―I’m talking about dreams today,’’Japan, the company’s research unit. ―Practical uses are still way into the future future.‖B. Among the challenges for this technology is making the reading-device smaller so it can be portable, according to Honda.C. After several seconds, Asimo, programmed to respond to these brain signals, lifted its right arm.D. Honda succeed in analyzing these thought patterns, and then relayed them as wireless commands to Asimo, its human-shaped robot.Section D (10marks)Being an introvert is a bad thing, right? Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by the number of articles I’ve read about how to ―cure‖ introversion. In response to these articles, I wrote The Introvertst become extraverts, and they shouldn’t particularly to. Strike Back, in which I argued that introverts can’However, I’m not here to debate whether it’s better to be an introvert to an extravert. The fact is, we all have to interact with both types of people every day. Regardless of which type you are, you can greatly improve your relationships by learning to get along better with people of the other type. Here are some tips for getting started.For Introverts:*Indicate to others when you’re busy.When an extravert see you reading, writing, or maybe just thinking, he might assume that the only reason you are doing this is because you don’t have someone to talk to. So he thinks he’s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation, when he’s actually interrupting.To prevent this, be sure to give an indication that you’re in the middle of something and don’t wantto socialize right now. This can be a visual sign or verbal.I know one person who tended to get a lot of visitors at work, and while he was actually an extravert, the frequent visits were slowing him down too much. He put a sign on his door saying ―If I don’t make eye contact or respond to you, I apologize. I’m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understanding.‖ While I don’t think many people need to go that far, it certainly worked!*Reading that extraverts often need to talk.Because extraverts are more in touch with the external world, for them talking is something as necessary as breathing. They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people, and they might need to chat in order to boost their energy.For an introvert, this can be the most difficult part of dealing with an extravert. The same conversation that energies the extravert also drains the introvert. However, keeping in mind that the extravert is not being intentionally malicious, the introvert has at least two options for handling this in a polite way. They can patiently participate in the conversation, and then, when it’s over, recharge by being alone. Or they cand cut off the conversation early by mentioning something else they need to be doing, or even by saying, ―I’like to help, but I’m not sure that I’m the right person for you to be talking to.‖Of course, sometimes a conversation can be very e n joyable for an introvert, in which case this isn t a problem.*Ask if someone is busy before spending time with them.If someone appears to be lonely, they might not be. Even if they’re just sitting there and don’t seemto be doing anything, they could be deep in thought and not to be interrupted.If you need something, try to ask for it up front. Otherwise, look for clues that they might not feellike talking right now, such as lack of eye contact.If they seem uninterested, don’t take it personally. You just don’t know what you’re interrupting.*Understand what a draining effect a conversation can have on someone.No matter how fabulous a person you are, keep in mind that introverts simply prefer their internal world to the external world. They might start off with a fully changed battery, but while they’re engaged in conversation, that battery is steadily draining. How long it lasts depends on various factors, but be sure to keep an eye out for when they’re out for when th ey’re starting to lose interest. Be more to the point with introverts, and save most of your chatting for extraverts who will appreciate it more.Questions 71 to 74: Complete each of the following sentences with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS according to the passage.71. Introverts are advised to to prevent interrupting when they are in the middle of something.72. For extraverts, having a conversation with people can be as important as73. An important clue that someone might not feel like talking with you right now is74. It is necessary to remember that introverts tend to focus more onQuestion 75: C hoose the best answer according to the passage.75. What is the passage mainly about?A. Whether it is better to be an introvert or an extravert.B. How to get along with both introverts and extravert.C. How to avoid embarrassment in conversation.D. Only should be neither an introvert nor an extravert.Part v Translation (20marks)Section A (10 mark)Translate the underlined sentences i n the following passage into Chinese. Remember t o write the answers on t he answer sheet.A soaring dropout rate is causing the United Stated to lose ground educationally to rivals abroad and is trapping millions of young American at the very margins of the economy. (76)The Obama administration acknowledges the problems in its new budget, which includes a$50 million prevention programme, but solving this problem will require a lot more money and a comprehensive national strategy.The alarming scope of the dropout crisis is laid out by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston and the Alternative Schools Network in Chicago. (77)Their study, which examines data from the 12 largest states, finds that 16 percent of the ages of 16 to 24 have dropped out.(78) The problem is especially pronounced among men, who make up more than 60 percent of those who change school nationally. The dropout problem hits minorities really hard.(79) Many of this country ’s large urban high schools are rightly called ―dropout factories ‖ because more students leave school than graduate. A ccording to the study, state dropout rates are highest in the South, where Gerorgia (22.1 percent), Florida (20.1 percent) and Texas (18.5percent) lead the way.(80) The dropout crisis presents a clear danger to national prosperity, but at the moment, states and localities are struggling to contain it with little help or guidance from the federal government. Congress, which is just waking up to this issue, can improve the situation by the putting its money and muscle behind proven programmes that have been shown to re-engage young people who have dropped out, and that keep at-risk children on track to complete their educations.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in brackets. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.81.石油价格的飞速上涨对世界经济产生了很大的影响。

is loss of habitat, which has contitued despite the establishment of 14 panda reserves . Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains,has drastically contracted the mammal ’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda ’s habitat has been cut down or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda ―islands islandsǁǁ in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two. The The minuscule minuscule minuscule size size size of of of the the the panda panda panda populations populations populations worries worries worries conservationists. conservationists. conservationists. The The The smallest smallest smallest groups groups groups have have have too too too few few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding. In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas – the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food – can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from from one one one area area area to to to another, another, another, thus thus thus preventing preventing preventing inbreeding inbreeding inbreeding in in in otherwise otherwise otherwise sedentary sedentary sedentary populations. populations. populations. In In In pandas, pandas, pandas, however, however, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic

However, geting enough sleep and dreaming are also part of good healh.After a hectic day of work and play, the body needs to rest, and sleep is the body‘s response to this need. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get whilesleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeeper than the one before. When you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep say that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs move more quickly ( although your eyelids are closed ).This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. Not only all humans, but all mammals have been shown to experience this REM stage. Dreaming is a normal and necessary part of a good sleeping pattern, but no one knows why we dream.If you have trouble falling asleep, there are a few possible ways of solving this problem. Some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy.

This is the reality for people living in villages of the Garissa region of Kenya in East Africa.In2006, librarian Wycliffe Oluoch used to spend each day waiting for people to come to borrow some of the 24,000 books in his library in Garissa. The library had no shortage of books, but people weren‘t coming to read them. It was too much effort to walk through the desert just to borrow books. Oluoch racked his brain for ways to attract people into the library. After a lot of thought, he hit upon a great idea. If people wouldn‘t come to the library, then he would have to take the library to them. Oluochstrapped boxes of books onto the backs of camels and invented the Mobile Camel Library.Starting with three camels in 2006, but more recently expanding the service to six camels, the Mobile Library serves over one million people. Twice a month, the camel library can be seen carrying books all around the Garissa region. These hard-working animals need little water and can altogether carry up to 1,200 kilograms of books across the sands. A librarian, a library assistant, a herdsman and a lookout all travel with the camels. The lookout helps protect the books from thieves.The children of Garissa love the camel library appreciate Oluoch‘s efforts. Eleven-year-old Mohamud Mohamed read his books carefully and always returns them on time. He knows the Garissa library punishes people for losing books, just like any other library. However, the punishment is very stiff compared to that of other libraries. However, the punishment is very stiff compared to that of other libraries.

points)Section A Multiple Choice(10 points)Directions:There is one reading passage in this part.The passage is followed by 5 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 centre.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Taking a peep at what's going on in your headCARL Filer,18,a star salesman at a B&Q hardware store in the UK,was called up for promotion within one week of starting work.But,instead of being made supervisor,he was sacked—after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test.You might think that anyone who answers that he“strongly disagrees he is an over-achiever is asking for trouble,but Mr Filer already thought he had proved himself more than capable.This year,nearly half of UK firms—46 percent—will use psychometric tests to select trainees,compared with just 17 percent in 2000,according to a report for GTI,a publisher of graduate career guides.These tests,which rate candidates’ability and gauge their personality,have been used in the UK since the 1980s.But assorted studies have shown most people—graduates in particular—are wholly cynical about the idea of their personality being“measured.“People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever, says Clive Fletcher,professor of occupational psychology at University of London.“But all the evidence indicates the tests do have some value.The first personality test as we know it,was developed by the American army in 1917 to filter outweak recruits.But it was not until the 1980s that the tests became popular in Britain.With a rising number of graduates going for a decreasing number of jobs,organizations began to see psychometric testing as a cheap,reliable alternative to the expensive,time-consuming interview.But today the tests are becoming alarmingly sophisticated and are edging towards probing the “dark side:pathology and personality disorders.Increasingly,tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may,later in life,fly off the rails(go crazy);or to stop psychopaths(having mental disorder)getting recruited.In the future,interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality.“We are heading for the era of genetic screening,”warns Carolyn Jones,of the Institute for Employment Rights.“I think these tests are very flawed.And there are other problems with the tests.For starters,it is possible to fake it—even the test producers agree on this.But they have made it as hard as possible.For example,look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two statements:“New ideas come easily to me and“I find generating new concepts difficult. How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing?The main argument,however,is that the tests are invalid and cannot quantify(put a numerical value on)something as changeable as personality.The golden rule is then,that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection,but should always be followed by interviews.71.Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is ______.A.contemptuous B.favorable C.tolerant D.confounded72.Which of the following is one of the reasons why psychometric testing wins an advantage over interviews?A.It doesn't cost any money.B.It requires no equipment.C.It is time-saving.D.It can be done within seconds.73.Which of the following statements is the author's idea?A.Psychometric tests are defective.B.Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promising young graduates.C.Psychometric tests are invalid and cannot quantify something changeable as personality.D.Psychometric tests are golden rules.74.The test producers make the tests very complicated to ______.A.avoid cheating B.improve genetic screeningC.find out the best ideas D.generate new concepts75.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A.The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits.B.In the future,interviewers could give a mouth swab to reveal interviewees’symptoms.C.There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests.D.Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees.Section B Short Answer Questions(30 points)Directions:In this part there are 3 passages with 15 questions or incomplete statements.Read the passages carefully.Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words).Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:The 8 Steps of Social Invention1.Get ready to play.Like other types of creativity,social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outside conventional boundaries.Charlie Girsch,a St.Paul,Minnesota-based creativity consultant,suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events.“If traffic is slow,you'll be tem pted to say,‘Hmm.Must be an accident up ahead.’Instead,try saying,‘Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway’or‘I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on.’You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways.”Girsch's book,Fanning the Creative Spirit(Creativity Central,1999)has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of your brain.2.Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas.Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood?Imagine a Homeless Parliament,a Homeless Circus,homeless families forming an orchestra,a homeless museum ...and on and on.Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order,as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises,to“overcome e worthy-but-dull ideas.”Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out.3.Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth.How about that Homeless Circus?Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents?A performance series about homelessness?A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor?Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive,and thus more feasible(and fundable),than its worthy-but-dull cousins.4.Look for in venations that solve more than one problem.The Slow Food Movement,born in Italy,boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it“feeds”our hunger for authentic tastes,healthy eating,and a more leisurely,saner style of life.5.Accentuate the positive.“A very common question that I get when I work with people in communities is‘Why doesn't anybody care about our problems?’”notes M chael Patterson,a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts.“What a worthless question.‘Why’?questions are for philosophers.Ask ‘How’?and‘What’?questions—they are a lot more practical.”For instance,Patterson asks,“What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?”6.Give it a rest.Walk away from your favorite idea for a while,forget about it,let it sleep.With your conscious mind out of the way,your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while,and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough.7.Practice“yes and”in stead of“yes but”.No matter how tempted you are to say“Yes,but this will be hard because,”or“Yes,but a million other people are doing this,”shift the conjunction to“and”and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges.“Yes,and we could concentrate on immigrants.”“Yes,and we can make it open to all ages.”8.Get your idea into the world.This is the tough part.You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas.Or become an organizer yourself.Paul Glove,a New York social inventor,coun-sels:“If you have an idea you believe in,write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it inLaundromats and bookstores.If three people call you,have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization.If five people call,meet with them and issue a press release.”Presto,you're launched.76.To generate far-fetched ideas helps to ______.77.Michael Patterson wants us to come up with“How”?and“What”?instead of“Why”?questions because he considers they are more practical than ______.78.The purpose to practice“yes and”instead of“yes but”is to make yourself more ______.79.According to the article,when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea,he should ______.80.One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but also ______ because the latter step is the nearest to reality.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes,which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come.But,analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era.Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin,flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market outlets such as Cosco,a wholesale buying club in the US,best known for offering members bulk items and big discounts.The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US $3,000or more ,yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production.That increase,combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology,could push the price of plasma sets down by one-third next year,according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group,a US research firm.But manufacturers are not just competing with each other;they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies,such as liquid crystal displays(LCD).The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts,which offer more detailed pictures and more lifelike colors than conventional analog TV signals.To see the difference,consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can.This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40inches diagonal or larger.At that size,however,traditional direct view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home.Hence the interest in thin screens—models slender and light enough to hang on a wall.The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan,South Korea and,increasingly,China.About 800,000 plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world,analysts say.That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs,which was about 140 million sets last year.But,industry experts said 2003would be a“breakout year”or plasma because shipments should double.Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities.For example,Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory—reaching 300,000to 400,000 plasma panels.And it plans to double it again in 2003,officials said.As competition has heated up during the last four years,prices have fallen more than 50 percent.According to“NPD Tec world”,the average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US $12,700in January 1999 to US $6,100in October 2002.The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia,and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes.LCD TVs carry a premium price—they can be 10 times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television—that knocks them out of most buyers’budgets.But LCD panels are quickly taking over the market for computer monitors,and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs,analysts predicted.Sharp Electronics,for one,is betting heavily on LCDs.Its chairman,Toshiaki Urushisako,has predicted that Sharp will switch completely from conventional tube sets to LCD TVs in Japan by 2005.Flat-panel refers to wafer-thin(3 inches or less)TVs,whereas flat-screen may actually describe traditional cathode-ray-tube sets(CRTs)whose glass front lacks the distorting curve that TVs have had for 50 years.Be aware of two things:One,flat-panel technology may not be high-definition TV;for eventual HDTV reception,some of these sets will require a separate HD tuner.Two,some flat-panel TVs are just the panel and lack speakers and sometimes a built-in tuner.Price range:US $700-2,000LCD vs plasmaIn general,LCD technology is used for smaller screens because of the enormous number of transistors needed to turn the glasslike liquid crystals into color images.The larger the display,the more transistors,the more chance of failed connections.A plasma screen is found in TV sets larger than 20 inches.Color is comparable to an LCD's.LCDs do not deteriorate over time,while a plasma display averages 30,000 hours(a traditional TV screen can go for 20,000),after which it fades over a period of years.Earlier problems with the quality of plasma's contrast have been addressed,and current screens are cleaner and better defined.Price range:US $600-2,800HDTVSimply put,high-definition TV is 10 times as sharp as traditional TV,and the sound is digital,like CD sound,not FM ,which is what traditional TV provides.HD technology achieves its visual clarity with more immage lines on the screen.Where analog TVs have 480 horizontal lines,HDTV has 720 or 1,080lines.Be aware :m any HDTV sets being sold now are in fact only HDTV monitors ,offering a crisp picture .To receive genuine high-definition television signals,owners must buy a separate HDTV receiver.Price range:US $1,000-6,000LOS ANGELEST IMES81.According to the article,TV sets with _____will still be the most popular in the coming years.82.The factors that stimulate the thin screens to be more and more popular include _____,_____,and_____.83.The rapidly expanding market for LCD panels and their large-scale production will help lower _____.。
