Every dawn, as I thud around New York City’s Central Park reservoir, I amreminded of how much I hate it. It’s so tedious. Some claim jogging is thought conducive;others insist the scenery relieves the monotony. For me, the pace is wrong for contemplation of either ideas or vistas. While jogging, all I can think about is jogging—or nothing. One advantage of jogging around a reservoir is that there’s no dry shortcut home.(2) From the listless looks of some fellow trotters, I guess I am not alone in my unenthusiasm:Bill-paying, it seems, would be about as diverting. Nonetheless, we continue to jog; more, we continue to choose to jog. From a practically infinite array of opportunities, we select one that we don’t enjoy and can’t wait to have done with. Why?(3) For any trend, there are as many reasons as there are participants. This person runs to lower hisblood pressure. That person runs to escape the telephone or a cranky spouse or a filthy household. Another person runs to avoid doing anything else, to dodge a decision about how tolead his life or a realization that his life is leading nowhere. Each of us has his carrot and stick.In my case, the stick is my slackening physical condition, which keeps me from beating opponents at tennis whom I overwhelmed two years ago. My carrot is to win.(4) Beyond these completely different reasons, however, lies a deeper cause. It is no accident thatnow, in the last third of the twentieth century, personal fitness and health have suddenly become a popular obsession. True, modern man likes to feel good, but that hardly distinguishes him from his predecessors.(5) With amusingly ridiculous myopia (目光短浅), economists like to claim that the deeper causeof everything is economic. Delightfully, there seems no marketplace explanation for jogging.True, jogging is cheap, but then not jogging is cheaper. And the scant and simple equipment which jogging demands must make it a marketer’s least favored form of recreation.(6)Some scout-masterish philosophers argue that the appeal of jogging and other body-maintenance programs is the discipline they afford. We live in a world in which individuals have fewer and fewer obligations. The work week has shrunk. Weekend worship is less compulsory. Technology gives us more free time. Satisfactorily filling free time requires imagination and effort. Freedom is a wide and risky river; it can drown the person who does not know how to swim across it. The more obligations one takes on, the more time one occupies, the less threat freedom poses. Jogging can become an instant obligation. For a portion of his day, the jogger is not his own man; he is obedient to a regimen he has accepted.(7)Theologists may take the argument one step further. It is our modern irreligion, our lack ofconfidence in any hereafter, that makes us anxious to stretch our mortal stay as long as possible. We run, as the saying goes, for our lives, hounded by the suspicion that these are the only lives we are likely to enjoy.(8) All of these theorists seem to me more or less right. As the growth of cults and charismaticreligions and the resurgence of enthusiasm for the military draft suggest, we do crave commitment. And who can doubt, watching so many middle-aged and older persons torturing themselves in the name of fitness, that we are unreconciled to death, more so perhaps than any generation in modern memory?(9) But I have a hunch (预感) that there’s a further explanation of our obsession with exercise. Isuspect that what motivates us even more than a fear of death is a fear of dearth. Our era is the first to anticipate the eventual depletion of all natural resources. We see wilderness shrinking;rivers losing their capacity to sustain life; the air, even the stratosphere (同温层), being loaded with potentially deadly junk. We see the irreplaceable being squandered, and in the depths of our consciousness we are fearful that we are creating an uninhabitable world. We feel more orless helpless and yet, at the same time, desirous to protect what resources we can. We recycle soda bottles and restore old buildings and protect our nearest natural resource—our physical health—in the almost superstitious hope that such small gestures will help save an earth that we are damaging. Jogging becomes a sort of penance for our sins of gluttony, greed, and waste.Like a hairshirt or a bed of naril, the more one hates it, the more virtuous it makes one feel. (10)That is why we jog. Why I jog is to win at tennis.IV. In this section, there are ten incomplete statements, followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Triple-digit oil prices have 24 the economic and political map of the world, 25 some old notions of power.

From January Ist ,2008, all public companies in Norway are obliged to ensure that at least 40% of their board directors are women. Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in 2003.But about 75 out of the 480 or so companies it affects are still too male for the government's liking. They will shortly receive a letter informing them that they have until the end of February to act , or face the legal consequences---which could include being dissolved.Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were female , according to the Centre for Corporate Diversity .The number has since jumped to 36%. That is far higher than the average of 9% for big companies across Europe or America's 15% for the Fortune 500.Norway's stock exchange and its main business lobby oppose the law, as do many businessmen." I am against quotas for women or men as a matter of principle," says Sverre Munck , head of international operations at a media firm. "Board members of public companies should be chosen solely on the basis of merit and experience,"be says. Several firms have even given up their public status in order to escape the new law.Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. Manycomplain that it has beenDifficult to find experienced candidates. Because of this, some of the best women have collected as many as 25-35 directorships each, and are known in Norwegian business circles as the "golden skirts". One reason for the scarcity is that there are fairly few women in management in Norwegian companies---they occupy around 15% of senior positions. It has been particularly hard for firms in the oil, technology and financial industries to find women with a enough experience.Some people worry that their relative lack of experience may keep women quiet on boards, and thatIn turn could mean that boards might become less able to hold managers to account. Recent history in Norway, however, suggests that the right women can make strong directors. "Women feel more compelled than men to do their homework," says Ms Reksten Skaugen , who was voted Norway's chairman of the year for 2007, "and we can afford to ask the hard questions, because women are not always expected to know the answers."41. The author mentions Ibsen's play in the first paragraph in order to .A. depict women's dilemma at workB. explain the newly passed lawC. support Norwegian governmentD. introduce the topic under discussion42. A public company that fails to obey the new law could be forced to .A. pay a heavy fineB. close down its businessC. change to a private businessD. sign a document promising to act43. To which of the following is Sverre Munck most likely to agree?A. A set ratio of women in a board is unreasonable.B. A reasonable quota for women at work needs to be set.C. A common principle should be followed by all companies.D. An inexperienced businessman is not subject to the new law.44.The author attributes the phenomenon of "golden skirts"to .A. the small number of qualified females in managementB. the over-recruitment of female managers in public companiesC. the advantage women enjoy when competing for senior positionsD. the discrimination toward women in Norwegian business circles45. The main idea of the passage might be .A. female power and liberation in NorwayB. the significance of Henric Ibsen's playC. women's status in Norwegian firmsD. the constitution of board members in NorwayPASSAGE2.While there's never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric (小儿科的) cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents. In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she's discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare from of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict." Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her own personal "cancerposse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of "cancer babes" offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn't funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her ( Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru ), and she even makes second sound fun ("cancer road trips," she calls them).She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes. " There are just too many cool things to do and plan and live for."Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you're not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" so loud you neighbors call the police. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your illness. " people you tell are going to cautious and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead withyour miracle," she writes.While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every cancer patient wants: the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.46. Which of the following groups is more vulnerable to cancer?A. Children.B. People in their 20s and 30s.C. Young adults.D. Elderly people.47. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _______.A. Kris Carr is a female writerB. Kris Carr is more than 31-year-old.C. Kris Carr works in a cancer center.D. Kris Carr is very optimistic.48. The phrase "cancer posse" (Line 4, para.3 ) probably refers to ________A. a cancer research organizationB. a group of people who suffer from cancerC. people who have recovered from cancerD. people who cope with cancer49. Kris Carr make up names for the people who treat her because ________A. she is depressed and likes swearingB. she is funny and likes playing jokes on doctorC. she wants to leave the medical advice to doctorD. she tries to leave a good impression on doctor50. From Kris Carr's cancer tips we may infer that ________A. she learned to use e-mails after she got cancerB. she wears fashionable dress even after suffering from cancerC. hospital gowns for cancer patients are usually not in bright colorsD. the neighbors are very friendly with cancer patients PASSAGE3。

Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed cl ean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻）against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot（地点）where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love.

When monkeypox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder of the disease that es from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections（感染）we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them a s pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkeypox may be the wakeup call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug（病毒）may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful（有害的）. Monkeypox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.64.

You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve（解决）things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy（隐私）. Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a parttime job.68.

We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains onauto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not ch but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation.So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity andinnovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously developnew habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, thatcan jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worninto the hippocampus, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberatelyingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.says Dawna“The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive chan ge consultant forjust as ourProfessional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ president calls himself ‘the Decider.’” She adds, however, that “to decide is to all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the manyother possibilities.”All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re u naware, she says.Researchers i n the late 1960 covered that humans are born with the capacity toapproach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. At puberty, however, the brain shuts down half ofthat capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed most valuableduring the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure,meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of- that anyone canthought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief systemdo anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book “This Year I Will...Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it createshabits comes in.excellence.” This is where developing new21.

Ms. Markova’s comments suggest that the practice of standard testing ?A, prevents new habits form being formedB, no longer emphasizes commonnessC, maintains the inherent American thinking modelD, complies with the American belief system25. Ryan most probably agree thatA. ideas are born of a relaxing mindB. innovativeness could be taughtC. decisiveness derives from fantastic ideasD. curiosity activates creative mindsText 2It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his paternalneeds to do is(fatherly) wisdom - or at least confirm that he’s the kid’s dad. All heshell our $30 for paternity testing kit (PTK) at his local drugstore - and another $120to get the results.More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first become availablewithout prescriptions last years, according to Doug Fog, chief operating officer ofIdentigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits. More than two dozen companiessell DNA tests Directly to the public , ranging in price from a few hundred dollars tomore than $2500.Among the most popular : paternity and kinship testing , which adopted children canuse to find their biological relatives and latest rage a many passionategeographicgenealogists-a nd supports businesses t hat offer to search for a family’sroots .Most tests require collecting cells by webbing saliva in the mouth and sending it tothe company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom tocompare DNA.But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision beinghawked by people claiming they are doing ances t ry testing,” says Trey Duster, a NewYork University sociologist. He notes that each individual has manyancestors-numbering i n the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestrytesting only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited throughmen in a father’s line or mitochondrial DNA, which a passed down only from mothers.This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, eventhough, for example, just three generations back people also have six othergreat-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the referencecollections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies don’rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information fromdifferent research projects.

We are fortunate that is it, because new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese countere pants a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job. More recently, while examing housing construction, the researchers d iscovered that illiterate, non-English- speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the buildingindustry’s work.What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of educationhow education got started. even when governments don’t force it. After all, that’sWhen our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn’t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.As education improved, humanity’s productivity potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formalconstrain the ability of the education. A lack o f formal education, however, doesn’tdeveloping world’s workforce to substantially improve productivity for the forested future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why educationquickly there than it is.isn’t developing more31. The author holds in paragraph 1 that the important of education in poor countries ___________.[A] is subject groundless doubts[B] has fallen victim of bias[C] is conventional downgraded[D] has been overestimated32. It is stated in paragraph 1 that construction of a new education system __________.[A]challenges economists and politicians[B]takes efforts of generations[C] demands priority from the government[D] requires sufficient labor force33.A major difference between the Japanese and U.S workforces is that __________.[A] the Japanese workforce is better disciplined[B] the Japanese workforce is more productive[C]the U.S workforce has a better education[D] ]the U.S workforce is more organize34. The author quotes the example of our ancestors to show that education emerged __________.[A] when people had enough time[B] prior to better ways of finding food[C] when people on longer went hung[D] as a result of pressure on government35. According to the last paragraph , development of education __________.[A] results directly from competitive environments[B] does not depend on economic performance[C] follows improved productivity[D] cannot afford political changesText 4The most thoroughly studied in the history of the new world are the ministers andpolitical leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standardhistory of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “So muchAccording to many books and articles,important attac hed to intellectual pursuits ” New England’s leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of anunfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with thetheological innovations and their distinctive ideas about thePuritans’ church-important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with ourexamination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans ascarriers of European culture adjusting to New world circumstances. The New Englandcolonies were the scenes o f important episodes in the pursuit of widely understoodideals of civility and virtuosity.The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive educationand influence in England. `Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came toMassachusetts church in the decade after 1629,There were political leaders like JohnWinthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before hejourneyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both NewWorld and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere ofintellectual earnestness.We should not forget , however, that most New Englanders were less welleducated. While few crafts men or farmers, let alone dependents a nd servants, leftliterary compositions to be analyzed, The in thinking often had a traditionalsuperstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, leftan account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. sexualconfusion, economic frustrations , and religious hope-all name together in a decisivemoment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle hisfate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no uncleanthing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churched.Mean while , many settles had slighter religious commitments than Dane’s, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they hadnot come to the New world for religion . “Our main end was to catch fish. ”36. The author notes that in the seventeenth-century New England___________.[A] Puritan tradition dominated political life. [B] intellectual interestswere encouraged.[C] Politics benefited much from intellectual endeavors. [D] intellectualpursuits enjoyed a liberal environment.37. It is suggested in paragraph 2 that New Englanders__________.[A] experienced a comparatively peaceful early history.

(10 points)Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, i ncluding human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection. 41.____________.American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan, along with Tylor, was one of the founders of modern anthropology. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.42._____________.In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology. 43._____________.Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. 44._______________.Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures. 45.________________.mile Durkheim developed a theory Also in the early 1900s, French sociologist éof culture that would greatly influence anthropology. Durkheim proposed thatreligious beliefs functioned to reinforce social solidarity. An interest in the relationship between the function of society and culture—known as functionalism—became a major theme in European, and especially British, anthropology.[A] Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed f rom society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.[B] In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the studyof human biology and anatomy.[C] He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the "survival of the fittest," in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.[D] They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people's social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children's entrance into adulthood.[E] Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.[F] Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.[G] For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, o n the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world. In fact, all of these cultural developments occurred separately at different times in many parts of the world.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)There is a marked difference between the education which everyone gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association. (46) It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life inthe desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. (47) Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world'swork is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance. (48) While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences w holly out of account. (49) Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no we are forming the powers which will secure this ability. If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.(50) We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education -- that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.Section ⅢWritingPart A51.

From January Ist ,2008, all public companies in Norway are obliged to ensure that at least 4 0% of their board directors arewomen. Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in 2003.But about 75 out of the 480 or socompanies it affects are still too male for the government's liking. They will shortly receive a letterinforming them that they have until the end of February to act , or face t he legal consequences---whichcould include being dissolved.Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were fema le , according to the Centre for Corporate Diversity .The number has since jump ed to 36%. That is far higher than the average of 9% for big companies across E urope or America's 15% for the Fortune 500.Norway's stock exchange and its main business lobby oppose the law, as do many businessmen." I am against quotas fo r women or men as a matter of principle," says Sverre Munck , head of internati onal operations at a media firm. "Board members of public companies should be c hosen solely on the basis of merit and experience,"be says. Several firms have even given up their public status in order to escape the new law.Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. Many compla in that it has been Difficult to find experienced candidates. Because of this, some of the best women have collected as many as 25-35 directorships each, and are known in Norwegian business circles as the "golden skirts". One reason for the scarcity is that there are fairly few women in management in Norwegian comp anies---they occupy around 15% of senior positions. It has been particularly ha rd for firms in the oil, technology and financial industries to find women with a enough experience.Some people worry that their relative lack of experience may keep women qu iet on boards, and that In turn could mean that boards might become less able t o hold managers to account. Recent history in Norway, however, suggests that th e right women can make strong directors. "Women feel more compelled than men to do their homework," says Ms Reksten Skaugen , who was voted Norway's chairman of the year for 2007, "and we can afford to ask the hard questions, because wom en are not always expected to know the answers."41. The author mentions Ibsen's play in the first paragraph in order to .A. depict women's dilemma at workB. explain the newly passed lawC. support Norwegian governmentD. introduce the topic under discussion42. A public company that fails to obey the new law could be forced to .A. pay a heavy fineB. close down its businessC. change to a private businessD. sign a document promising to act43. To which of the following is Sverre Munck most likely to agree?A. A set ratio of women in a board is unreasonable.B. A reasonable quota for women at work needs to be set.C. A common principle should be followed by all companies.D. An inexperienced businessman is not subject to the new law.44.The author attributes the phenomenon of "golden skirts" to .A. the small number of qualified females in managementB. the over-recruitment of female managers in public companiesC. the advantage women enjoy when competing for senior positionsD. the discrimination toward women in Norwegian business circles45. The main idea of the passage might be .A. female power and liberation in NorwayB. the significance of Henric Ibsen's playC. women's status in Norwegian firmsD. the constitution of board members in NorwayPASSAGE2.While there's never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosi s is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric (小儿科的) cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting side-b y-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer f rom the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she's discover ing life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare from of cancer tha t had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict." Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her addres s book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her o wn personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion mag azine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of "c ancer babes" offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentar y, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn't funn y, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who tre at her ( Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru ), and she even makes second sound fun ("can cer road trips," she calls them).She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes. " Thereare just too many cool things to do and plan and live for."Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buy ing fashionable hospital gowns so you're not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" so loud you neighbors call the po lice. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your illness. " people you tell are going to cautious and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your mirac le," she writes.While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every cancer patient wants: the chance to live life just as she always did, and mayb e better.46. Which of the following groups is more vulnerable to cancer?A. Children.B. People in their 20s and 30s.C. Young adults.D. Elderly people.47. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _______.A. Kris Carr is a female writerB. Kris Carr is more than 31-year-old.C. Kris Carr works in a cancer center.D. Kris Carr is very optimistic.48. The phrase "cancer posse" (Line 4, para.3 ) probably refers to _______ _A. a cancer research organizationB. a group of people who suffer from cancerC. people who have recovered from cancerD. people who cope with cancer49. Kris Carr make up names for the people who treat her because ________A. she is depressed and likes swearingB. she is funny and likes playing jokes on doctorC. she wants to leave the medical advice to doctorD. she tries to leave a good impression on doctor50. From Kris Carr's cancer tips we may infer that ________A. she learned to use e-mails after she got cancerB. she wears fashionable dress even after suffering from cancerC. hospital gowns for cancer patients are usually not in bright colorsD. the neighbors are very friendly with cancer patientsPASSAGE3Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Should a leader strive to be loved or feared?This question,famously posed by Machiavelli,lies at the heart of Joseph Nye's new book.Mr.Nye,a former dean of the Kennedy School of Govemment at Harvard and one-time chairman of America' s National Intelligence Council,is best known for promoting the idea of "soft p ower",based on persuasion and influence,as a counterpoint to "hard power",based on coercion(强迫) and force.Having analyzed the use of soft and hard power in politics and diplomacy i n his previous books,Mr.Nye has now turned his attention to the relationship be tween power and leadership,in both the political and business spheres.Machiavel li,he notes,concluded that "one ought to be both feared and loved,but as it is difficult for the two to go together,it is much safer to be feared than loved." In short,hard power is preferable to soft power.But modem leadership theorists have come to the opposite conclusion.The context of leadership is changing,the observe,and the historical empha sis on hard power is becoming outdated.In modem companies and democracies,power is increasingly diffused and traditional hierarchies(等级制) are being undermi ned,making soft power ever more important.But that does not mean coercion shoul d now take a back seat to persuasion.Mr.Nye argues.Instead,he advocates a synth esis of these two views.The conclusion of The Powers to Lead ,his survey of the theory of leadership,is that a combination of hard and soft power,which he cal ls”smart power”,is the best approach.The dominant theoretical model of leadership at the moment is ,apparently, the “transformational leadership pattern”.Anone allergic(反感) to management term will already be running for the exit,but Mr,Nye has performed a valuable s ervice in rounding up and summarizing the various academic studies and theoriesof leadcriship into a single,slim volume.He examines different approaches to l eadership,the morality of leadership and how the wider context can determine th e effcctiveness of a particular leader.There are plcnty of anccdotes and exampl es,both historical and contemporary,political and corporate.Alsa,leadership is a slippery subject,and as he depicts various theories,e ven Mr.Nye never quite nails the jelly to the wall.He is at his most interestin g when discussing the moral aspects of leadershipin particular,the question of whether it is sometimes necessary for good leaders to lie -and he provides a h elpful 12-point summary of his conclusions.A recuming theme is that as circumst ances change,different sorts of leadcrs are required;a leader who thrives in on e environment may struggle in another,and vice versa.Ultimately that is just a fancy way of saying that leadcrship offers no casy answers.51.From the first two paragraphs we may learn than Mr.Machiavelli's idea of hard power is ______.A.well accepted by Joseph NyeB.very influential till nowadaysC.based on sound theoriesD.contrary to that of modem leadership theorists52.Which of the following makes soft power more important today according to Mr.Nye?A.Coercion is widespread.B.Morality is devalued.C.Power is no longer concentrated.D.Traditional hierarchies are strengthened53.In his book the Powers to lead,Mr.Nye has exmined all the following asp ects of leadership EXCEPT_____.A.authorityB.contextC.approachesD.morality54.Mr.Nye's book is particularly valuable in that it _____.A.makes little use of management termsB.summarizes various studies conciselyC.serves as an exit for leadership researchersD.sets a model for contemporary corporate leaders55.According to the author,the most interesting part of Mr.Nye's book lies in his _____.A.view of changeable leadershipB.definition of good leadershipC.summary of leadership historyD.discussion of moral leadershipPASSAGE4Questions 56to 60are based on the following passage:Americans don't like to lose wars. Of course, a lot depends on how you def ine just what a war is. There are shooting wars-the kind that test patriotism and courage-and those are the kind at which the U.S excels. But other struggles test those qualities too. What else was the Great Depression or the space race or the construction of the railroads? If American indulge in a bit of flag—whe n the job is done, they earned it.Now there is a similar challenge. Global warming. The steady deterioration (恶化)of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of the first or der, and by any measure, the U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the world's gree nhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn't intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away from them. There a re vague promises of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrog en. But for a country that tightly cites patriotism as one of its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the most patriotic struggle of all. It's hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival of a country's co asts and farms, the health of its people and stability of its economy.The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate change is a global emergency, there's far less agreement on how to fix it. Ind ustry offers its pans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists offe r theirs, which too often amount to native wish lists that could weaken America n's growth. But let's assume that those interested parties and others will alwa ys bent the table and will always demand that their voices be heard and that th eir needs be addressed. What would an aggressive, ambitious, effective plan loo k like-one that would leave the U.S. both environmentally safe and economically sound?Halting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conservative pl ans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carb on emissions over the next 52 year. And yet by devising a consistent strategy t hat mixes and blends pragmatism(实用主义)with ambition, the U.S. can, without m ajor damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and e nsure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money will do some of the work, but what's needed most is will. "I'm not saying the challenge is n't almost overwhelming," says Fred Krupp. "But this is America, and America ha s risen to these challenges before."56. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Human wars.B. Economic crisis.C. America's environmental policies.D. Global environment in general.57. From the last sentence of paragraph 2 we may learn that the survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and the stability of i ts economy is__________.A. of utmost importanceB. a fight no one can winC. beyond people's imaginationD. a less significant issue58. Judging from the context, the word "rub"(Line 1, Para.3)probably means _______.A. frictionB. contradictionC. conflictD. problem59. What is the author's attitude toward America's policies on global warm ing?A. CriticalB. IndifferentC. SupportiveD. Compromising60. The paragraphs immediately following this passage would most probably deal with___________.A. the new book written by Fred KruppB. how America can fight against global warmingC. the harmful effects of global warmingD. how America can tide over economic crisis翻译：With the nation’s financial system teetering on a cliff. The compensation arrangements for executives of the big banks and other financial firms are comi ng under close examination again.Bankers’ excessive risk- taking is a significant cause of this financial crisi s and has continued, to others in the past, in this case, it was fueled by low interest rates and kept going by a false sense of security created by a debt-fu eled bubble in the economy.Mortgage lenders gladly lent enormous sums to those who could not afford to paythem back dividing the laws and selling them off to the next financial institu tion along the chain, advantage of the same high-tech securitization to load on more risky mortgage-based assets.Financial regulation will have to catch up with the most irresponsible practice s that led banks down in this road, in hopes averting the next crisis, which is likely to involve different financial techniques and different sorts of assets. But it is worth examining the root problem of compensation schemes that are ti ed to short-term profits and revenue’s, and thus encourage bankers to take irr esponsible risks.Part V Writing (20%)Direction: In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the f ollowing information. Make comments and express your own opinion. You should wr ite at least 150 words on Answer Sheet 2.At present, there is no doubt that short message plays an increasingly importan t role in our lives . We are all aware that, like everything else, short messag e have both favorable and unfavorable aspects.Generally speaking, the advantages can be listed as follows. First of all, in festivals, we can send short messages to wish good luck to other people we know. It brings us a lot of convenience. In addition, short message connects it s users with the outside world. For example, some people subscribe weather fore cast or news short messages, with them, people’s life will be greatly enriched.But it is pity that every coin has two sides. The disadvantages of short m essage can’t be ignored. We spend too much time on spelling our words and sending short messages that we can’t focus on our studies. Also, you will always b e annoyed by strangers’ short messages one after another.As is known to all, short message is neither good nor bad itself. In my op inion, we can use it. But we shouldn’t spend too much time on it and don’t le t it disturb us from our lives.答案ECRION I1-10 BACDD CBAAC 11-20 BBABD DBACBSECTION 221-30 CDDBC BDDBA 31-40 BACDA DBCACSECTION 341-50 BBAAC CCBCC 51-60 DCABD CAAACSECTION 4由于国家金融体制处于危机边缘动荡,一些大银行和金融机构中的高级管理人员的补偿金计划就受到密切关注.银行家们过度冒险是金融危机的至关重要原因,在历史上也有类似情况.在这种情况下,一般是由低息引起并造成持续的错觉,其实是一种债务泡沫经济.抵押贷款人很乐意把大量资金借给无力偿还的人,就把贷款瓜分了,并沿这样的链条出售给下一个金融机构,这些做法都在利用高科技证券业,结果,却增加了抵押资产的风险.金融条例必须能应付这种能使银行下滑的,最不负责任的做法,以期扭转下一个危机,而这下一个危机很可能包括有各种类型的技术和资产.但值得审视补偿金计划的根本问题,因为那是眼前利益,但却让银行家们不负责任的甘冒风险.。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.PASSAGE1.Henric Ibsen ,author of the play "A Doll's House", in which a pretty, helpless housewife abandons Her husband and children to seek a more serious life, would surely have approved.. From January Ist ,2008, all public companies in Norway are obliged to ensure that at least 40% of their board directors are women. Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in 2003.But about 75 out of the 480 or so companies it affects are still too male for the government's liking. They will shortly receive a letterinforming them that they have until the end of February to act , or face the legal consequences---which could include being dissolved.Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were female , according to the Centre for Corporate Diversity .The number has since jumped to 36%. That is far higher than the average of 9% for big companies across Europe or America's 15% for the Fortune 500.Norway's stock exchange and its main business lobby oppose the law, as do businessmen." I am against quotas for women or men as a matter of principle," says Sverre Munck , head of international operations at a media firm. "Board members of public companies should be chosen solely on the basis of merit and experience ,"be says. Several firms have even given up their public status in order to escape the new law. Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. Many complain that it has been Difficult to find experienced candidates. Because of this, some of the best women have collected as many as 25-35 directorships each, and are known in Norwegian business circles as the "golden skirts". One reason for the scarcity is that there are fairly few women in management in Norwegian companies---they occupy around 15% of senior positions. It has been particularly hard for firms in the oil, technology and financial industries to find women with a enough experience. Some people worry that their relative lack of experience may keep women quiet on boards, and thatIn turn could mean that boards might become less able to hold managers to account. Recent history in Norway, however, suggests that the right women can make strong directors. "Women feel more compelled than men to do theirhomework," says Ms Reksten Skaugen , who was voted Norway's chairman of the year for 2007, "and we can afford to ask the hard questions, because women are not always expected to know the answers."41. The author mentions Ibsen's play in the first paragraph in order to .A. depict women's dilemma at workB. explain the newly passed lawC. support Norwegian governmentD. introduce the topic under discussion42. A public company that fails to obey the new law could be forced to .A. pay a heavy fineB. close down its businessC. change to a private businessD. sign a document promising to act43. To which of the following is Sverre Munck most likely to agree?A. A set ratio of women in a board is unreasonable.B. A reasonable quota for women at work needs to be set.C. A common principle should be followed by all companies.D. An inexperienced businessman is not subject to the new law.44.The author attributes the phenomenon of "golden skirts" to .A. the small number of qualified females in managementB. the over-recruitment of female managers in public companiesC. the advantage women enjoy when competing for senior positionsD. the discrimination toward women in Norwegian business circles45. The main idea of the passage might be .A. female power and liberation in NorwayB. the significance of Henric Ibsen's playC. women's status in Norwegian firmsD. the constitution of board members in NorwayPASSAGE2.While there's never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric (小儿科的) cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she's discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare from of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict." Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her own personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. Thisclub of "cancer babes" offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn't funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her ( Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru ), and she even makes second sound fun ("cancer road trips," she calls them).She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes. " Thereare just too many cool things to do and plan and live for."Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you're not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" so loud you neighbors call the police. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your illness. " people you tell are going to cautious and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle," she writes.While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every cancer patient wants: the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.46. Which of the following groups is more vulnerable to cancer?A. Children.B. People in their 20s and 30s.C. Young adults.D. Elderly people.47. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _______.A. Kris Carr is a female writerB. Kris Carr is more than 31-year-old.C. Kris Carr works in a cancer center.D. Kris Carr is very optimistic.48. The phrase "cancer posse" (Line 4, para.3 ) probably refers to ________A. a cancer research organizationB. a group of people who suffer from cancerC. people who have recovered from cancerD. people who cope with cancer49. Kris Carr make up names for the people who treat her because ________A. she is depressed and likes swearingB. she is funny and likes playing jokes on doctorC. she wants to leave the medical advice to doctorD. she tries to leave a good impression on doctor50. From Kris Carr's cancer tips we may infer that ________A. she learned to use e-mails after she got cancerB. she wears fashionable dress even after suffering from cancerC. hospital gowns for cancer patients are usually not in bright colorsD. the neighbors are very friendly with cancer patientsPASSAGE3 Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: Should a leader strive to be loved or feared? This question ,famously posed by Machiavelli ,lies at the heart of Joseph Nye's new book .Mr. Nye ,a former dean of the Kennedy School of Governmentat Harvard and one-time chairman of America's National Intelligence Council ,is best known for promoting the idea of "soft power" ,based on persuasion and influence ,as a counterpoint to "hard power" ,based on coercion(强迫) and force.Having analyzed the use of soft and hard power in politics and diplomacy in his previous books ,Mr.Nye has now turned his attention to the relationship between power and leadership ,in both the political and business spheres .Machiavelli ,he notes ,concluded that "one ought to be both feared and loved ,but as it is difficult for the two to go together ,it is much safer to be feared than loved."In short ,hard power is preferable to soft power .But modem leadership theorists have come to the opposite conclusion.The context of leadership is changing ,the observe ,and the historical emphasis on hard power is becoming outdated .In modem companies and democracies ,power is increasingly diffused and traditional hierarchies(等级制) are being undermined ,making soft power ever more important .But that does not mean coercion should now take a back seat to persuasion .Mr.Nye argues .Instead ,he advocates a synthesis of these two views .The conclusion of The Powers to Lead ,his survey of the theory of leadership ,is that a combination of hard and soft power ,which he calls mart power ?is the best approach.The dominant theoretical model of leadership at the moment is ,apparently ,the “transformational leadership pattern” .Anyone allergic(反感) to management term will already be running for the exit ,but Mr,Nye has performed a valuable service in rounding up and summarizing the various academic studies and theories of leadership into a single ,slim volume .He examines different approaches to leadership, the morality of leadership and how the wider context can determine the effectiveness of a particular leader. There are plenty of anecdotes and examples, both historical and contemporary, political and corporate.Alas ,leadership is a slippery subject ,and as he depicts various theories ,even Mr. Nye never quite nails the jelly to the wall .He is at his most interesting when discussing the moral aspects of leadership in particular ,the question of whether it is sometimes necessary for good leaders to lie-and he provides a helpful 12-point summary of his conclusions .A resuming theme is that as circumstances change ,different sorts of leaders are required ;a leader who thrives in one environment may struggle in another ,and vice versa .Ultimately that is just a fancy way of saying that leadership offers no casy answers.51.From the first two paragraphs we may learn than Mr. Machiavelli’s idea of hard power is______.A .well accepted by Joseph NyeB .very influential till nowadaysC .based on sound theoriesD .contrary to that of modem leadership theorists52.Which of the following makes soft power more important today according to Mr.Nye?A .Coercion is widespread.B .Morality is devalued.C .Power is no longer concentrated.D .Traditional hierarchies are strengthened53.In his book the Powers to lead ,Mr.Nye has examined all the following aspects of leadershipEXCEPT_____.A .authorityB .contextC .approachesD .morality54.Mr.Nye's book is particularly valuable in that it _____.A .makes little use of management termsB .summarizes various studies conciselyC .serves as an exit for leadership researchersD .sets a model for contemporary corporate leaders55.According to the author ,the most interesting part of Mr.Nye's book lies in his _____.A view of changeable leadershipB .definition of good leadershipC .summary of leadership historyD .discussion of moral leadershipPASSAGE4 Questions 56to 60are based on the following passage: Americans don't like to lose wars. Of course, a lot depends on how you define just what a war is. There are shooting wars-the kind that test patriotism and courage-and those are the kind at which the U.S excels. But other struggles test those qualities too. What else was the Great Depression or the space race or the construction of the railroads? If American indulge in a bit of flag hen the job is done, they earned it.Now there is a similar challenge. Global warming. The steady deterioration(恶化)of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of the first order, and by any measure, the U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn't intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away from them. There are vague promises of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrogen. But for a country that tightly cites patriotism as one of its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the mostpatriotic struggle of all. It's hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and stability of its economy.The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate change is a global emergency, there's far less agreement on how to fix it. Industry offers its pans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists offer theirs, which too often amount to native wish lists that could weaken American's growth. But let's assume that those interested parties and others will always bent the table and will always demand that their voices be heard and that their needs be addressed.

One of the more conservative plans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 year. And yet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes and blends pragmatism(实用主义)with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations.

Passage 1Most people agree that taxes must be paid. Government couldn’t run without money. But people argue about how taxes should be collected.Now the government works with a “progressive tax”. Not everyon e pays the same percentage of his salary in taxes. Poor people are in a low tax bracket. They pay the smallest percentage of income in taxes. Middle-income workers pay a larger percentage than the poor. And the rich fall into the high tax brackets. Few rich people like the progressive tax.The government took a poll. Among other people, the government talked to Ray Mathers and Eve Winick. “Let’s change to a flat rate tax,” Says Ray Mathers. “Everyone should be taxed the same percentage. It’s fair. And it’s easy to figure out.” Mathers is president of Trig Computer Company. He makes over $80,000 a year. “I don’ t want a flat rate income tax,” says Eve Winick. Winick is a grammar school teacher. Her school is in a poor neighborhood. She makes $14,000 a year. “I don’t care if it’s easier to figure out. What I want to know is, would I pay less tax?” Winick worries about her students’ parents. “Some of them can hardly support themselves. Why should they pay heavier taxes? They’re the people who need government services.”Mathers thinks a flat rate would help in the long run. “The country could lower taxes after a while. See, if I paid fewer taxes, I’d save money. I’d put that money into my business and hire more people. Those people could pay taxes. Everybody would be better off.”31. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. The flat rate taxes everyone the same percentage.B. The progressive tax covers a percentage of people’s wages.C. Ray Mathers and Eve Winick answered a government poll.D. There is an argument over two different types of taxation.32. You can infer that an unstated reason Mathers likes the flat rate tax is that _________.A. it is easy to figure outB. he probably pays heavy taxesC. it is fairD. he is poor33. The people who are presently supposed to pay the highest percentage of their income in taxes are the _________.A. richB. middle classC. poorD. businessmen34. Winick does not want a flat rate tax, because _________.A. she is richB. the flat rate tax is hard to figure outC. she might have to pay more taxesD. the flat rate fax is unfair to the rich35. The phrase “better off” (in the last sentence of the passage) means _________.A. in a worse conditionB. wealthyC. doing more than expectedD. in a better conditionPassage 2NEW YORK — E-commerce has revolutionized the business world and won’t disappear despite investors pulling the plug on many dot-coms, says Marcia H. Flicker, Ph. D., a Ford- ham University marketing professor.“Venture capitalists are disgusted ［with the lack of returns］,”she says. “The uncertainty went too far to the investment side in 1998 and 1999, and now it’s gone too far the other way. Investors are so conservative that they are reluctant to invest even i n sustainable businesses.”Flicker says pure Internet-based companies will have limited success. However, “click and mortar” sites —those that are affiliated with a store and have catalogs in addition to a web address—will thrive. This strategy, employed by companies such as Pottery Barn and Eddie Bauer, is working well, she says.Flicker predicts that web services will start charging fees now that revenues from banner ads are waning. The fee structures will allow some users to pay a higher price to avoid unsolicited advertising. Flicker presented these and other ideas at the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International 2001 E-Commerce Conference last month. Fordham’s Graduate School of Business Administration was established in 1969. Its part-time MBA program is ranked 12th by U.S. News & World Report. The College of Business Administration, founded in 1920, is ranked among the “best buys” in undergraduate education by U. S. News & World Report.Founded in 1841, Fo rdham is New York City’s Jesuit University. It has residential campuses in the north Bronx and Manhattan, a graduate center in Tarrytown and the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.36. The reporter sent the report from _________.A. FordhamB. New YorkC. TarrytownD. Armonk37. From the second paragraph, we get to know that _________.A. venture capitalists invested a great deal in e-business in 1998 and 1999B. e-businesses are likely to disappearC. investors got little return from their investment in e-business in 1998 and 1999D. more and more capitalists began to invest in e-business now38. Which of the following is the most likely to be successful in e-business according to Flicker?A. A well-designed web site.B. A company with a large investment.C. A purely Internet-based company.D. A company having a store, catalogue and a website.39. When was this report written?A. In 1998.B. In 1999.C. In 2000.D. In 2001.40. Which is not true about Fordham University?A. It was founded in 1841.B. It has the College of Business Administration.C. Its undergraduate education is better than graduate education.D. It has the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.四、单词汉译英（本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）根据给出的汉语词义和规定的词类写出相应的英语单词。
