Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In police work, you can never predict the next crime or problem. No working day is identical to any other, so there is no " typical" day for a police officer. Some days are relatively slow, and the job is boring; other days are so busy that there is no time to eat. I think I can describe police work in one word: variety. Sometimes it's dangerous. One day, for example, I was working undercover, that is, I was on the job, but I was wearing normal clothes, not my police uniform. I was trying to catch some robbers who were stealing money from people as they walked down the street. Suddenly, seven bad men jumped out at me. Another policeman arrived, and together, we arrested three of the men; but the other four ran away. Another day, I helped a woman who was going to have a baby. she was trying to get tothe hospital. But there was a bad traffic jam. I put her in my police car to get her there faster. I thought she was going to have the baby right there in my car. But fortunately, the baby waited to arrive until we got to the hospital.。

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1.Bears in the WoodsDespite the troubled markets, the world economy is still relatively strong. Just don't bet your house on it. The woods and the marketIf you meet a bear in the woods, try not to panic or scream; on no account should you turn your back and run. As markets around the world have turned grizzly over the past two weeks, some investors seem to have forgotten the old hikers' maxim. After three years of big gains, many stockmarkets have dropped by 10% or more in less than ten days. The loudest complaints have echoed around emerging markets and commodities. Europe has surrendered most of this year's gains. Americans have so far escaped lightly, but they would be unwise to take comfort. Their housing market, the recent rock of their economy, is where a much grizzlier creature lies in wait.Most investors tend to look first at equity marketsand they have certainly had a good run virtually everywhere. Yet a repeat of the slump after the bursting of the dotcom bubble in 2001—4)2 remains highly unlikely. In 2000 shares were wildly overvalued. Today price/eamings ratios in most stockmarkets are near, if not below, their long-term averages. This suggests that the slide in shares could be short-lived.Inflation or interest rates?So what has caused this burst of volatility? One popular explanation points to the fears of rising inflation and hence higher interest rates. Yet this sits oddly with the decrease in bond yields and the gold price over the past week: if inflation were the reason, you would expect both to have risen. The real puzzle is not why volatility has suddenly increased, but why it had been so low in the past year or so. The answer seems to be an abundance of cheap money, which attracted investors into satisfaction. Now they are starting to demand higher returns on riskier assets. Emerging-market equities, not (generally safer) bonds, suffered the biggest loss in the past week. It could be a healthy correction, though.What helped us to achieve growth with low inflation?Indeed, the recent sensitivity need not harm the world economy, which even bears admit has performed greatly. World GDP has grown at an annual rate of more than 4% for 11 consecutive quarters. This is the strongest upturn for more than 30 years. Yet global inflation remains historically low. Strong growth with mild inflation is all the more amazing given the tripling of oil prices since 2003. Past off-price shocks have caused stagflation.The world has so far shrugged off higher oil prices with the help of two powerful economic forces. The first is the opening up and integration into the world economy of China, India and other emerging economies, This has given the biggest boost to global supply since the industrial revolution.That, in mm, has magnified the second stimulus. Since the bursting of the dotcom bubble, central banks have pumped out cheap money. In 2003 average short-term interest rates in the G7 economies fell to their lowest in recorded history. Because inflation remained low, the central banks have been slow to mop up the excess liquidity. Cheap money has encouraged households, especially American ones, to borrow and spend lavishly. It is not just house prices that have surged ahead; cheap money has encouraged investors across the world to take bigger risks, creating several smaller bubbles. Together the huge boost to supply (from emerging economies) and the huge boost to demand (from easy money) have offset the burden of higher oil prices, creating the once-impossible combination of robust growth and modest inflation.Don*t panicThe era of cheap money is nearing an end. For the first time in 15 years, the three big central banks are now all tightening monetary policy. The European Central Bank has already followed the Federal Reserve's lead in raising interestrates. Only now are the markets realising that interest rates may rise by more than they had expected. In the long term, rates should be roughly equal to nominal GDP growth, but in America and elsewhere they are still well below it. Optimists argue that America's economy is coping well with rising interest rates, but it isn't really aware of tight money yet. Without easy credit, dear oil will cause more pain.Until recently, financial markets appeared to be betting that the Goldilocks economy一neither too hot, nor too cold 一was safe from the bears. The troubled markets are a reminder that sooner or later growth will slow or inflation will rise. Inflation is not about to spiral upwards but with diminishing spare capacity, it could gradually rise. America has an extra risk because Wall Street suspects that Ben Bernanke, the Fed's new chairman, may be a soft touch on inflation. If that suspicion persists, he will need to raise interest rates by more than otherwise一or investors will do the tightening for him by pushing up bond yields. That would make other assets look expensive.It is in the American housing market that the bear may growl loudest. By borrowing against the surging prices of their homes, American consumers have been able to keep on spending. The housing market is already coming off the boil. If prices merely flatten, the economy could slow sharply as consumer spending and construction are squeezed. If house prices fall as a result of higher bond yields, the American economy could even dip into recession. Less spending and more saving is just what America needs to reduce its current-account deficit, but for American households used to years of plenty it will hurt.The confidenceFor the world, it is best that America slows today. Later, imbalances will loom even larger. A few years ago, Japan and the euro-area economies were flat on their backs. Now they are growing "above trend", so the world depends less on America than it once did. The boost to the world economy from China and India will last into the future, even allowing for mishaps. Wise investors should resist the urge to flee, reduce their holdings of risky assets and stare down the bear.1.As it is true that people should not turn their back and run when coming across a bear in woods, they should remember not to divert their money away from the market when possible problems occur.2.Despite a recent drop of about 10% in many stock markets, the world economy is still experiencing gains.3.During the recent economic down turn, South American countries have almost lost all their gains in the previous years of robust development.4.The author does not believe inflation causes the slow-down because it is believed that the interest rates should have risen if it is so.5.According to the passage, recent troubles do not harm the world economy because some statistics show that the world economy is performing well.6.The author thought it was strange to see strong growth with mild inflation because the oil price, which was a reason causing stagflation, tripled in 2003.7.American families are encouraged by cheap money to borrow and spend lavishly.8.The world has so far shrugged off higher oil prices with the help the opening up and integration into the world economy of China, India and.9.For the first time in 15 years, the three big central banks are now all.10.and more saving is just what America needs to reduce its current-account deficit.Part IH Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said.

Millions of children and adults are exposed over a lifetime to consistent negative and stereotypical portrayals of certain populations in our diverse society. Such portrayals lead to prejudice, which in turn leads to discrimination and unnecessary conflict, adversely affecting the entire nation. Millions of politicians, government officials, parents, teachers and others in positions of authority are consistently portrayed as fools and bumbling idiots in Hollywood movies (the Hollywood antiauthority themes). Millions of Arabs and Arab-Americans, African-Americans, Latinos, Women, Gays/ Lesbians, German-Americans, Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, Southerners and others have been victimized by Hollywood prejudice expressed through the consistent negative and stereotypical portrayals of these populations. Millions of Christians and Muslims are also regularly portrayed in a negative and stereotypical manner in Hollywood films.Thousands of large and small investors foolishly believe that they will be treated fairly by Hollywood deal makers and accounting practices. Hundreds of small independent producers cannot get their movies into decent theaters because they are squeezed out of the marketplace by the releases of the major studio/ distributors, whose movies are not always of better quality, but who use anti-competitive business practices to gain leverage over the exhibitors.Moviegoers of all types who are regularly misled into thinking certain movies are worth seeing and are wrongfully separated from their money by massive and misleading Hollywood advertising.Many members of the many racial, religious, ethnic, cultural groups and regional groups in America cannot make their important cultural stories onto the screen because of the prejudice held by those who control the industry.57.What is the main idea of this passage?[A] Remark on a book. [B] Many examples to disprove a point made by a book.[C] Ways to solve problems in Hollywood. [D] Film-making and audience response.58.According to the passage, where does the prejudice among children and adults come from?[A] Denial of access to movies. [B] Discrimination in selecting actors of films.[C]Stereotypical portrayal of certain groups of population in the movies.[D]Only rich people are allowed to produce films.59.What do major distributors do to push small independent producers out of market?[A] Persuasion. [B] Government relationships. [C] Anti-competitive business practices. [D] Adequate finance.60.Why are politicians, government officials and parents are consistently portrayed as fools in Hollywood movies?[A] To demonstrate their anti-authority themes. [B] To show the reality.[C] To make people laugh. [D] To help people build their confidence.61.What is the organization of this passage?[A] A summary with supporting details. [B] An explanation with specific reference.[C] A point of view with detailed evidence. [D] A proposition with sound reasoning.Passage TwoThe next time you attend a social function or go to a place where people meet and interact, take note of the number of people who have adopted the identical gestures and posture of the person with whom they are talking. This "carbon copying" is a means by which one person tells the other that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes. By this method, one is non-verbally saying to the other, "As you can see, I think the same as you, so I will copy your posture and gesture."This unconscious mimicry is quite interesting to observe. Take for example, the two men standing at the hotel bar. They have mirrored each other's gestures and it is reasonable to assume that they are discussing a topic upon which they have the same thoughts and feelings. If one man uncrosses his arms and legs or stands on the other foot, the other will follow, If one puts his hand in his pocket, the other will copy and this mimicry will continue for as long as the two men are in agreement.This copying also occurs among good friends or people at the same status level and it is common to see married couples walk, stand, sit and move in identical ways. People who are strangers, however, studiously avoid holding mutual positions.The significance of carbon copying can be one of the most important non-verbal lessons we can learn, for this is one way that others tell us that they agree with us or like us. It is also a way for us to tell others that we like them, by simply copying their gestures.If an employer wishes to develop an immediate rapport and create a relaxing atmosphere with an employee, he needs to copy the employee's posture to achieve the end. Similarly, an up-and-coming employee may be seen copying his boss* gestures in an attempt to show agreement. Using the knowledge, it is possible to influence a face-to-face encounter by copying the positive gestures and postures of the other person. This has the effect of putting the other person in a receptive and relaxed frame of mind and he can "see" that you understand his point of view.62.What is an appropriate title for this passage?[A] Appropriate Social Behavior. [B] How to Make Gestures.[C] Carbon Copying: Showing Agreement Through Gestures. [D] How to Avoid Carbon Copying.63.What is "carbon copying" according to the passage?[A] To adopt identical gesture of others. [B] To repeat what others have said.[C] To show agreement with others. [D] To mock others.64.Among which group m the following are carbon copying NOT frequently seen?[A] Married couples. [B] Good friends. [C] People not familiar with each other. [D] People at the same* status.65.What should an employer do to create a relaxing atmosphere for employee?[A] Be polite. [B] Copy the gesture of the employee.[C] Be helpful. [D] Avoid copying the employee's gesture.66.What is a way for the prospective employee to show his/her agreement with the boss?[A] Copy the gesture of the boss. [B] Be submissive. [C] Repeat what the boss has said. [D] Be innovative.Part V ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D] on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS, 典),which has no known cure for (67) afflicted by it, has brought widespread panic to Singaporeans and has (68) altered the pattern of their daily life. The famous saying of President F.D. Roosevelt that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself aptly described the present (69) of mind of a large cross-section of Singaporeans and those in the worst-hit areas like Guangdong and Hong Kong. How does this much fearful illness impinge on the collective psyche of Singaporeans and how do they (70) with it? It is, I believe, fair to say that it has (71) both the nobler and weaker sides of the Singaporean character. First, the well-deserved praise for the (72) and caring healthcare givers, both in the public and private sectors. They have (73) the pressure of it, especially during the early stage, with some of them (74) it and some are still fighting for their lives (75) the much higher risks of contamination, they have continued to put their own safety aside, and that of their families too, and have (76) to perform their professional responsibilities to the fullest. On the (77) side, numerous fellow Singaporeans have treated their healthcare professionals like plague. Our nurses, who (78) wear their uniforms in public with pride, had to endure taunts and hostile stares. Some even (79) them consciously. There were other overt discriminatory treatments meted out to medical staffs, which were utterly (80) and inexcusable. Fortunately, these unthinking Singaporeans were the (81) .Nonetheless, their attitudes have brought shame to the nation. At the other extreme, a large number of Singaporeans have already totally abstained (82) social activitieswith the coming of SARS.

First of all, living in a local family provides me the opportunity to communicate with native people and thus to get to be more familiar with their language and culture. After all, when one is going abroad to study, one has to learn its language and culture. And in both aspects, living with a local family outside campus is better. Secondly, living outside campus makes it possible for me to have more privacy than living in dormitories on campus. I can have my own room and my own timetable while most of those have to be compromised in dormitories. Thirdly, living with a family can be more colorful. For example, I can watch TV and cook with them. Dormitories in universities might provide fewer facilities such as those.No doubt living on campus has its advantages. For example, one can have closer access to school library and other important learning resources. That is why I emphasized the distance at the beginning. Although ! choose living outside campus, I do not want to be too far away from campus for the reason mentioned above.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. A2. B3. C4. A5. A6. C7.

The 26 at which cities are growing in the less developed countries is 27 . Between 1920 and 1960 big cities in 28 increased two and a half times in size, but in other parts of the world the growth was eight times their size.The sheer size of growth is bad enough, but there are now also very 29 signs of trouble in the comparison of percentage of people living in towns and percentages of people working in industry, during the 30 century cities grew as a result of the growth of industry. In Europe, the proportion of people living in cities was always smaller than that of the 31 working in factories. Now, however, the 32 is almost always true in the newly industrialized world. The percentage of people living in cities is 33 the percentage working in industry. Without a base of people working in industry, these cities cannot pay for their growth. There is not enough money to build adequate houses for the people that live there, let alone the new arrivals.There has been little 34 to build water supplies or other facilities. So the figures for the growth of towns and cities represent proportional growth of unemployment and underemployment, a growth 35 hopeless and despairing parents and starving children.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Each statement contains information given in out of theparagraphs. Identify the paragraph which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked witha letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet.Media Selection for AdvertisementsA) After determining the target audience for a product or service, advertisingagencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home, Internet, and direct mail.B) Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers massaudiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? You can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication. But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.C) Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting meansthat television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance, is watched by people who play golf.Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smallerand more homogeneous (具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.D) After television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenueis newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually. It has increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in 168 cities. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.E) Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and providea way for advertisers to communicate a longer, more detailed message to theiraudience than they can through television. Given new production techniques,advertisements can be printed in newspapers in about 48 hours, meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the message out. Newspapers are often the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local readers.F) Advertising on radio continues to grow. Radio is often used in conjunctionwith outdoor billboards(广告牌) and the Internet to reacheven more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeat their ads often. Internet companies are also turning to radio advertising.Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day. Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.G) Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisersto adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.H) Newsweeklies, women’s titles, and business magazines have all seen increasesin advertising because they attract the high-end market. Magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcastmedium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous. If you read Sports Illustrated, for example, you have much in common with the magazine’s other reader s.Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.I) Advertiser using the print media-magazines and newspapers will need to adaptto two main changes. First, the Internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers. These audiences will be more diverse and geographically dispersed (分散)than in the past.Second, advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.J) Out-of-home advertising, also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective.Technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past. Using digital printing, billboard companiescan print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they can change their messages more quickly.K) As consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market. As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that audience members remember.L) Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations' advertising in the near future. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well.M) A final advertising medium is direct mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client's message. Direct mail includes newsletters, postcards and special promotions. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers. For many businesses, direct mail is the most effective form of advertising.46. Television is an attractive advertising medium in that it has largeaudiences.47. The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that are easy to remember.48. Compared with television, newspapers as an advertising medium convey moredetailed messages.49. Magazines are seen by advertisers as an efficient way to reach target audiences.50. Advertising on radio continues to grow because it provides easy access toconsumers.51. Out-of-home advertising has become more effective because consumers travelmore now than ever.52. With the increase in the number of TV channels, the number of TV ads peoplecan see has increased. 53. Newspaper ranks the second among all the media which attract annual adrevenue.54. Direct mail is an effective form of advertising for businesses to developrelationships with consumers.55. Internet advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach audiencesthat tend to be quite homogeneous, but small.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In Britain there is a National Health Service (NHS) which is paid for by taxesand National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner (全科医生) or GP. This means that their names are on the GP’s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic.Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also impossible for him to have treatment doneprivately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, people who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment. Anyone who is very ill can call an ambulance (救护车)and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment. Ambulances are a free service in Britain.56. In Britain, the National Health Service refers to____________.A) a local hospitalB) a medicine supplierC) a medical care systemD) an insurance company57. Under the National Health Service, British citizens _________.A) are all registered with a general practitionerB) do not need to buy private health insuranceC) can only go to see a general practitionerD) cannot call in a general practitioner58. People buy private health insurance in order to ___________.A) pay for the ambulance serviceB) receive free urgent treatmentC) see a general practitionerD) have private treatment59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) People in Britain do not have to pay for any kind of medical care.B) People in Britain may wait long for their free medical treatment.C) In Britain you have to pay for ambulance service.D) British private medical insurance is free.60. What is this passage mainly about?A) Private medical care in Britain.B) Roles of general practitioners.C) Taxes and free medical care.D) Health services in Britain.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologis ts, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert kno wledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She begancollege as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”61. “…Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “______________”.A) America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB) gerontology has suddenly become popularC) more elderly professors are found on American campusesD) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students62. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _________________.A) from the adoption of the “elder law”B) from rendering special services to the elderlyC) by enriching their professional knowledgeD) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests63. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?A) Retirees are more generous in spending money.B) They can employ more gerontologists.C) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.D) There are more elderly people working than before.64. Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?A) Retirees who are business-minded.B) The volunteer workers in retirement homes.C) College graduates with an MBA or law degree.D) Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.65. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderlypopulation ________.A) will provide good job opportunities in many areasB) will impose an unbearable burden on societyC) may lead to nursing home abuse and age discriminationD) will create new fields of study in universitiesPart IV Translation (20 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English and write your version in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.世界钻石委员会(The World Diamond Council)成立于2000年,来抵制消除非洲的非法钻石交易。

大学英语四级模拟题答案第5期及答案
大学英语四级考试第5期及答案Part I WritingCity ProblemsNowsdays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living. However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point. Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit a huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted. What is more, the city is also threatened by an increase in crime. There is not a single day passing without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or even murdered.Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the nature but also isolated from each other, even not knowing name of their next-door neighbor.All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city. More people may seek to live in the suburbs if there is n’t any improvement.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1—7 Y Y N N Y Y NG 8.another meter 9.piped in from the river. 10.not yet clear Part III Listening Comprehension11---15 DBBCB 16---20 BAAAB 21---25 CABDA 26---30 BCABA31---35 DCBDA36.programs 37.enrollments 38. offering 39. demand 40.professions41. repair 42. increased 43.avoided44.Advanced technology is the most important reason for the rise in adult education.45.Various courses are offered, among which foreign languages, computers and communication courses are popular.46.

US-DPRK( Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) relations have become a factor that affects the stability in Asia, with the talks on DPRK’s nuclear programme issue travelling along a bumpy road. Revolving around the nuclear issue, disputes between the United States and the Republic of Korea crop up frequently, estranging the two allies. Sins-US relations are getting increasingly complex and different schools of thought inside the United States clash with each other over how to deal with a fast “rising China”. The China policy, to a certain extent, has evolved into a bottleneck for the United States’Asia policy. The Taiwan question becomes ever pressing in the post-Cold-War period, but the United States has so far failed to come up with an effective way to address the situation. In Southeast Asia and South Asia, the US anti-terror campaigns have achieved little, and instead served to distance the United States from the Muslim masses in the region. Thousands upon thousands of US troops are stuck in the quagmire of Iraq. There seems no light at the end of the tunnel on theissue of Iran’s nuclear undertakings. In the face of all this, US Asia experts have voiced their dissatisfaction over US Asia policy. They generally come to the conclusion that the US Asia policy lags behind the developments and that the definition of the US role in Asia is disorientated. The conclusion is drawn against the background of Asia’s fast changing political, economic and security situations. Strong bias has always blurred the US analysis of international politics, often leading to misjudgement and miscalculation. Confrontation, for example, dominated Sino-US relations for 22 years after 1949, when the People’s Republic of China was founded. This is because US policy-makers understood the event as an outcome of the Soviet Union’s exporting of revolution, thinking China would go along steadily with the “Big Brother” concept for decades to come. The United States paid dearly for the confrontation. The US involvement in Viet Nam offers another example. Ho Chih Minh’s drive for national unification was misread as the expansion of communism in Southeast Asia. Large numbers of American troops were committed to “contain”the “expansion.”Again, the United States paid dearly. The United States, it seems to me, is now misreading China’s fast development. China’s high-speed economic growth is bringing wealth and prosperity to one-fifth of the world’s population. But some American political elite think the rise of China poses a threat and challenge to the US supremacy. They are haunted by how to come up with the best way to deal with China’s rise, and hence the hesitation between engagement and containment. This, in turn, helps explain the volatility of US-China relations. Apart from its misjudgement of the outside world, the wrong definition of its role in Asia is also responsible for policy errors. Desire for hegemony has dominated US Asia policy since World War II. Seeking supremacy is at the core of policy-making considerations. During the Cold War period, Washington claimed “containment of communism,”but they were actually in pursuit of US hegemony. Driven by these hegemonic impulses, the United States got involved first in the Korean War and then the Viet Nam War, taking upon itself commitments that far outstripped its strength. After the failure of Viet Nam, the United States had to reshape its Asia policy, seeking strategic balance instead of supremacy. The change of role helped free it from a predicament. When the Cold War ended in the early 1990s, the United States faced the test again in terms of defining its role in Asia. The Clinton administration wanted to use US values, US models of development and security concepts, the so-called “soft power”, to shape regional politics, economics and security. It can be interpreted as applying new tools to play a leading role in Asia. After President George W. Bush assumed power, the United States’role was defined as a unilateral leader, which was intended to guard against any rising powers. The advent of the September 11 terrorist attacks changed the priorities of the US strategic agenda, but not the Bush administration’s yearning for US supremacy. All this helps bring about the situation that the United States’ Asia policy is increasingly distanced from the fast changing reality in Asia. The United States’ constructive role in Asian affairs would be in the interest of Asian countries as well as in its own. Correct US assessment of the reality in Asia is thus called for. First, it should be understood that Asian countries’co-operation in political and security affairs among themselves is being strengthened. They axe increasingly reluctant to be told what to do by outsiders. This kind of co-operation will help alter the political and economic landscapes of Asia and will also have a great impact on US-Asian relations. The economic co-operation among the 10+3(10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations plus China, Japan and the Republic of Korea) framework and the planned East Asia Summit are but just two examples in Asian countries’ intention of forming, a single community. Second, China’s development will not follow the old path of the newly emerging power replacing the old one, and will, therefore, not bring about the situation in which a hysteric arms race is set in motion because the parties involved fear to be left in a weaker position. Using the old-fashioned containment mentality to handle China-and Asia-related affairs is bound to end in tears. Third, Asian countries are becoming increasingly interdependent, whether in terms of economic co-operation or anti-terror campaigns. On the other hand, the United States is getting more and more dependent on other countries in many ways. This requires it to adapt to the fast changing situation in Asia. Fourth, the United States is powerful but not omnipotent. It won a war in Iraq but did not win peace. The United States cannot settle all the questions in Asia, let alone if it tries to do it all in its own way.2.The dispute on DPRK’s nuclear programme issue gives a negative influence on US-DPRK relations.A.YB.NC.NG正确答案:A解析:文章第二段指出围绕朝鲜核问题的谈判疏远了两国的关系,显然本题的论断说得也是这个意思。

The southwestern coastal region has a humid mild marine climate. Seawinds that blow inland from the west are warmed by a current of warm waterthat flows through the Pacific Ocean. As a result, winter temperaturesaverage above freezing and summers are mild. These warm western winds alsocarry moisture from the ocean. Inland from the coast, the winds from the Pacific meet the mountainbarriers of the coastal ranges and the Rocky Mountains. As they rise tocross the mountains, the winds are cooled, and their moisture begins tofall as rain. On some of the western slopes almost 200 inches (500 cm)of rain fall each year. More than half of British Columbia is heavily forested. On mountainslopes that receive plentiful rainfall, huge Douglas firs rise in toweringcolumns. These forest giants often grow to be as much as 300 feet (90 m)tall, with diameters up to 10 feet (3 m)。

You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 目前很多父母在子女高中毕业前就送他们出国学习2. 形成这种趋势的原因3. 我对些的看法Oversea Study at an Early AgePart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet1.The Sky“s LimitAir travel is a rapidly growing source of greenhouse gases. But it is also an indispensable way of travel. The new A380 The double-decker A380, the biggest airliner the world has seen, landed at Heathrow last month to test whether London“s main airport could handle the new 550-seater, due to enter commercial service at the end of this year. It was a proud moment for Britain"s Rolls-Royce, the makers of the aircraft"s Trent 900 engines. Rolls-Royce says the four Trents on the A380 are as clean and efficient as any jet engine, and produce "as much power as 3,500 family cars". A simple calculationshows that the equivalent of more than six cars is needed to fly each passenger.Take the calculation further: flying a fully laden A380 is, in terms of energy, like a 14km (nine-mile) queue of traffic on the road below. And that is just one aircraft. In 20 years, Airbus reckons, 1,500 such planes will be in the air. By then, the total number of airliners is expected to have doubled, to 22,000. The huge airplane alone would be pumping out carbon dioxide (CO2) at the same rate as 5 million cars.That may not seem much compared with the 60 million vehicles that pour off assembly lines every year—or the 1 billion vehicles already on the world"s roads. But whereas cars are used roughly for about an hour or so a day, jet airliners are on the move for at least 10 hours a day. And they burn tax-free, highoctane (1) 高能量的) fuel, which dumps hundreds of millions of tonnes of CO2 into the most sensitive part of the atmosphere.Aviation is a relatively small source of the emissions blamed for global warming, but its share is growing the fastest. The evidence is strong. As a result, aviation is increasingly attracting the attention of environmentalists and politicians. Amid much controversy, CO2caps (最高限制) and carbon-trading could soon be used to help curb aircraft emissions.Frequent flyers, free ridersAirlines are accused of having a free ride in terms of air pollution because they pay no tax on the fuel they use for international flights. Even though today"s aircraft are about 70% more efficient than those of 40 years ago, concerns over emissions have grown. Despite booming demand for air travel, many airlines are losing money. Now green campaigners want people to think twice before they fly. Theopposing voice is particularly loud in Europe, where low-cost carriers are expanding fast on busy shorthaul (2) 短距离) routes. The European Parliament will vote in July on a proposal to limit aircraft emissions.America is deeply unhappy at the prospect of its airlines being affected. Sharon Pinkerton, a senior representative of the Federal Aviation Administration insisted, on a visit to Brussels last year, that American carriers should be exempted from the scheme. This sets the scene for another transatlantic aviation dispute, to add to the two bitter and long-running disputes over subsidies to Europe"s Airbus and the liberalisation of air traffic between the two continents.The airlines are growing nervous. The big international carriers represented by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) would rather Europe waited for the deliberations of a United Nations body, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which has set technical, legal and safety rules for more than 50 years. International aviation was excluded from the Kyoto protocol on global warming, but only on condition that, by theend of 20XX年, countries and airlines worked under the umbrella of ICAO to come up with a way of reducing emissions through a trading scheme.Soon after the end of the Second World War the member governments of ICAO agreed that airlines should be free of fuel taxes. Some say this was to outlaw unilateral taxes that could distort markets, but others reckon it was done to boost the fledgling airline industry emerging from the fighting. The corollary was that aviation, unlike motor traffic and other forms of transport, would pay in a transparent manner for the infrastructure and services it required-air-traffic management, landing charges, flyover rights and so on. That was supposed to take care of the external costs. But no one in those daysthought much about the environment. Counting the cost It was not until 1999 that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attempted to reduce the effect of aviation on the environment. Transport as a whole was judged to be responsible for about a quarter of the world"s CO2 discharges. That makes it one of the biggest sources, alongside power generation and households, as a source of the gas. Within transport, aviation accounts for about 13%. Its contribution to total man-made emissions worldwide is said to be around 3%. So why all the fuss about so little? One reason is that high-altitude emissions are probably disproportionately damaging to the environment. The nitrogen oxides from jet-engine exhausts lead to the formation of ozone, another greenhouse gas. Contrails (飞行云) are also suspected of enhancing the formation of cirrus clouds, which some scientists think adds to the global warming effect. The IPCC estimated that the overall impact on global warming of aircraft could be between two and four times that of their CO2 emissions alone, though there is no scientific consensus about the size of this multiplier.Naturally, the airlines choose to measure the greenhouse gases they produce in the way that casts them in the best light — a trick they deploy on safety statistics, too. For instance, over half of aircraft accidents occur around take-off and landing. So accidents per passenger-mile compare very favourably with other means of transport. But at least one study has shown that, if accidents are measured per journey instead, aircraft are the second-most dangerous way of travelling, after motorcycles.Likewise on greenhouse gases. IATA says an aircraft"s fuel consumption is about the same as that of a family car, at 3.5 litres per 100 passenger-kilometres. So CO2 emissions are similar. But that is true only if the aircraft is full and the car"s passenger seats are empty.And even then, a jumbo jet flying from London to Sydney would be like nearly 400 Volkswagen Polos each travelling just over 16,000km—the average distance a European drives in a year. In other words, although cars and aircraft discharge roughly the same amount of CO2for each passenger-kilometre, the aircraft travel an awful lot farther. Waiting to landCrowded airports compound the problem. Busy runways at places such as Heathrow mean aeroplanes have to circle wastefully. The possibility of being held up ensures that pilots carry extra fuel, thereby increasing the aircraft"s weight and, hence, its consumption of fuel. Other small changes could further save fuel and avoid carbon emissions: aircraft could be towed everywhere on the ground by electric vehicles. Consumers, too, can take a stand by voluntarily offsetting the carbon emissions associated with flying by paying, for instance, to have trees planted.This week IATA said the net loss of the world"s airlines in the past six years would amount to almost $44 billion. Carriers have been hit by terrorism, war, recession, the respiratory disease SAILS and soaring oil prices. There were hopes the industry could make a small profit in 20XX年, but having to pay for environmental costs could change that. Yet global warming is not something that airlines, or any other industry, can shake off for ever. Sooner or later, aviation will have to shoulder the burden it imposes on the planet.1. This passage is mainly about how the development of airline industry has affected the environment through its greenhouse gases emission.2. It is predicted that in 20 years, the huge airplanes alone would be pumping out carbon dioxide at the same rate as 5 million cars.3. The author compares the effect of airliners on the environmentand that of the cars and concluded that the effect ofthe former is less because the number of airplanes is much smaller than that of the cars.4. In the past, aviation industry was the smallest source of greenhouse gases emission and thus did not attract people"s attention.5. Many airlines are having less profit today although there are more demand for air travel.6. America is proposing an alternative plan to solve the problem of emission from airliners.7. The airlines are mom and more nervous, and they want the problem be considered by IATA, a United Nations body.8. ______as a whole was judged to be responsible for about a quarter of the world"s carbon dioxide discharges.9. Although aviation accounts for only 3% of the total man-made emission, its______ are believed to be disproportionately damaging to the environment.10. During the past six years, airline industry has been hit by terrorism, war, ______which made the industry suffer a total loss of $44 billion.。
