Even people who are notkeen on football may have heard of Pele,who is often considered the world’sgreatest player. However , how manyfootball fans are familiar with CharlesMiller and his contribution to whatcalled “ the beautiful game” ?Know as the father of Brazilian football . Charles Miller was born on 24 Novermber , 1874, in Sao Paulo to a Scottish father and Brazilian mother. In 1884 , he was sent school in England , where he learned to play both football and cricket. Miller became skilled in running with the ball , heading and taking free kicks.In 1894, Miller returned to Brazilwith two bals and a copy of rules offootball .The Sao Paulo Athletic Club(SPAC) had been formed in 1888 by agroup of British men who piayed mainlycricket. Miller persuaded them to takeup football . he was also instrumental inseeting up the Lisga Paulista , the firstfootball league in Brazil .Over the first20 years of the next century , statechampionships were formed throughBrazil and in 1914 the first national sideplayed against Argentina.Miller was not only a great player ,but also an excellent coach andadministrator. In Brazil , he spent a lot of time and effort teaching and coaching Brazilians. After retiring as a player, he continued to be a referee until the age of 50 When football bee professional in Brazil in 1933, Miller was disappointedand decided to have no more contact with game . He felt that sportspeople should be amateurs-he didn’t like the introduction of money and business into sport. For Miller , football was a game ,and about participation and doing your best , not money . Charles Miller’s memory lives on in the skillful individual game which isBrazilian football . It is also kept alive in another way . When the Sao Paulo sports writers association brought out a dictionary of football terms in Portuguese , only one word survived from the vocabulary of the past :the charles or chaleira . Named after Charles Miller , it is a ciever pass with the heel of the foot . the exciting ball skills ofal the great Brazil players , including Pele , owe something to the pioneering spirit of Charles Miller and his passion for the game of football.Questions 56-57:Read the questions and the four choices marked A , B, C and D, and decide which is the best choice according to the passage. 56.

To Miller , football was a game never about money , but about trying one’s best to play and to ___________-60. Charles Miller contributed a lot to the skills of all great Brazilian players withhis________and his strong love for the football game.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.Are You a Successful Leader ?Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation. At work or at play, you'll findyourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting withcolleagues, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a dayout walking in the mountains, a group of neighbours wanting to make changes. It is now recognised that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keysto success, partly because we need to do it so often.In almost every situation where you're in a group, you will need a skilled leader.All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderlessgroup often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated. Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to e to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.Some people are natural leaders. The celebrity chef, Antonio Carluccio says,'True leaders are born and you can spot them in kitchens. They're people who bine toughness, fairness and humour.' Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders, most people now recognise that leadership can also be taught. Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy, controlling way. You can learn how to involve everyone,encouraging the whole group to work towards a mon goal.Questions 61-62: Answer the following questions according to the passage. 61. Why will there be lots of arguments in a leaderless group?62. What is probably the most important quality of a good leader/Questions 63-65: Read the passage , and then tell whether the following statements are true (T) or false(F).63. Being able to work in a group is one of the major factors of success.64. Groups of people doing social activities generally don’t need leaders.65. Most people agree that leadership is a nature-born talent rather than a learned skill.Section C (10 marks)Question 66-70 are based on the following passage.They Just Can’t Help ItWhat kind of brain do you have ? SimonBaraon-Cohen , who has done intensiveresearch , says there are really bigdifference between male and femalebrains . My theory is that the femalebrain is mainly built for empathy (E),the ability to understand otherpeople ,and that the male brain is mainlyfor understanding and building systems(S). According to this theory ,there arethree brain types : the E-brain ,theS-brain and the “balanced brain” whichhas both abilities-empathy andsystems-thinking (the ability tounderstand how things work) .It is important to stress that not all women have the E-brain，and not all men havethe S-brain . But generally , there are clear difference . For example , women tend to choose different things to read on the railway platform or in the airport departure lounge . (69)They are more likely to go for magazines on fashion ,romance ,beauty ,conseling and parenting . Men are more likely to choose magazines that feature puters , cars photography , sport and outdoors .You may think that these preference are in some way infiuenced by people’s upbringing . However , ther is scientific evidence to suggest that this is not the case .A study carried out in the lab at Cambridge University shows thst newborn girlslook longer at a face ,and newborn boys look longer at a mechanical mobile , which suggests that certain differences between male and female brains are biological . (70)It has also been obseverd that baby girls as young as 12 month old respond more strongly to other people’s emotional problems . Teenage girls and women spend more time forting friends who have problems . Women are also more sentive to facical expressions . They are better at noticing subtle signs of changes in other people’s felings , or juding a person’s character .Boys , from an early age onwards , seem to love putting things together ,building toy towers or vehicles . Boys also enjoy playing which have clear functions , which have a buttons to press , things that light up , or devices that will cause another to move . You see the same sort of pattern in the adult workplace . People whose jobs are in metal-working or the construction industries are almost entirely male . Mathematics , physic and engineering , which require high levels of systems-thinking , are also largely male-chosen disciplines .Some people may worry that I am suggesting that one gender is better than theother , but this is not the case . The theory says that , on the whole , males and females differ in the kind of things that they are interested in and they find easy , but that both genders have their strengths and weakness . Neither gender is superior overall . Others may worry that a theory like this creates gender stereotypes , which is nottrue . either . The study simply looks at males and females as two groups , and asks what difference exist , and why they are there .Questions 66-68:Answer the following questions according to the passage.66. Which ability is more related to the “E-brain”?67. Why are some people critical of the theory?68. What evidence suggestions that the differences between male and female brains are not influence by their upbringing?Questions 69-70: Translate the underlined sentences 69 and 70Section D (10 marks)Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage.Animal IntelligencePet owners know their pets are to do allsort of incredible things . Dogs seem topick up their ears when their ownersmention the walk . Cats have manycreative ways of reminding their ownersto feed them . So exactly how intelligentare animals ？Scientists as pet ownersare interested in the question of animalintelligence .One of the most exciting investigations on the mental abilities of animal looks attheir ability to use tools . Through observations of animals in the wild and in zoos , animal researchers know that several animal species apparently use tools . Perhaps the most notable inverstigation of this kind work of Jane Godall in Africa . She observed chimpanzees in their native environment using small sticks to termites. Great apes in zoos have been seen to use tools .Scientists have trained crows to use small sticks to spear insects in the bark of trees .Another aspect of animal cognition is solving problems . Some species of birds , such as ravens , are particularly clever . Ravens are able to solve many different problems , such as untying a knot to get at food . Even pigeons and parrots have show an extraordinary capacity to recognize , count or name different objects .In addition , the ability to learn what they are taught by humans is another markerof animal cognition . For example , dogs are able to learn a wide variety ofmands , and then follow them . Orangutans can learn plex tasks , such aswashing clothes by hand , after just a few tires . Elephants also remember various behavious that they taught-even playing music and painting .Perhaps one of the most important aspects of animal cognition is self-awareness .An animal that is aware of itself has a high level of cognition ability . For a long time , humans were thought to be the only living beings aware that themselves and their actions . For example , you are aware that you are reading this article or you can recognize yourself in a mirror . Animal researchers have discovered that dolphins and chimpanzees are able to recognize themselves in a mirror .

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 out weak 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．Orbecome 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 in Laundromats 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 _____．84．When a wealthy customer wants to buy a very large TV，he should select _____and _____according to the passage．85．We can infer from the passage that among all kinds of TV sets _____is of the best quality．。
