time;if corrected too much,he will stop talking.He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the languages he uses and the language those around him use.Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people.In the same way,when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught-to walk,run,climb,whistle,ride a bicycle-compare those performances with those of more skilled people,and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself,let alone correct them.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him,or correct it unless he was made to.Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher.Let him do it himself.Let him work out,with the help of other children if he wants it,what this word says,what answer is to that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers,as it may be in mathematics or science,give him the answer book.Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work?Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.Let’s end this nonsense of grades,exams, marks,Let us throw them all out,and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn,how to measure their own understanding,how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in the way that seems sensible to them.With our help as school teachers if they ask for it.The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours.Anxious parents and teachers say,“But suppose they fail to learn something essential they will need to get in the world?”Don’t worry!If it is essential,they will go out into the world and learn it.1.What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?A.by copying what other people do.B.by making mistakes and having them corrected.C.by listening to explanations from skilled people.D.by asking a great many questions.2.What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?A.They give children correct answers.B.They point out children’s mistakes to them.C.They allow children to mark their own work.D.They encourage children to mark to copy from one another.3.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are___.A.not really important skills.B.more important than other skills.C.basically different from learning adult skills.D.basically the same as learning other skills.4.Exams,grades,and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by___.cated persons.B.the children themselves.C.teachers.D.parents.5.The author fears that children will grow up into adults while being___.A.too independent of others.B.too critical of themselves.C.incapable to think for themselves.D.incapable to use basic skills.2.We can begin our discussion of“population as global issue”with what most persons mean when they discuss“the population problem”:too many people on earth and a too rapid increase in the number added each year.The facts are not in dispute,It was quite right to employ the analogy that likened demographic growth to“a long, thin powder fuse that burns steadily and haltingly until it finally reaches the charge and explodes.”To understand the current situation,which is characterized by rapid increases in population,it is necessary to understand the history of population trends.Rapid growth is a comparatively recent phenomenon.Looking back at the8,000years of demographic history,we find that populations have been virtually stable or growing very slightly for most of human history.For most of our ancestors,life was hard,often nasty,and very short.There was high fertility in most places,but this was usually balanced by high mortality.For most of human history,it was seldom the case that one in ten persons would live past forty,while infancy and childhood were especially risky periods.Often,societies were in clear danger of extinction because death rates could exceed their birthrates.Thus,the population problem throughout most of history was how to prevent extinction of the human race.This pattern is important to notice.Not only does it put the current problems of demographic growth into a historical perspective,but it suggests that the cause of rapid increase in population in recent years is not a sudden enthusiasm for more children,but an improvement in the conditions that traditionally have caused high mortality.Demographic history can be divided into two major periods:a time of long,slowgrowth which extended from about8,000BC.till approximately AD.1650.In the first period of some9600years,the population increased from some8million to500 million in1650.Between1650and the present,the population has increased from500 million to more than4billion.And it is estimated that by the year2000there will be 6.2billion people throughout the world.One way to appreciate this dramatic difference in such abstract numbers is to reduce the time frame to something that is more manageable.Between8000BC and1650,an average of only50,000persons was being added annually to the world’s population each year.At present,this number is added every six hours.The increase is about80,000,000persons annually.1.Which of the following demographic growth pattern is most suitable for the long thin powder fuse analogy?A.A virtually stable or slightly decreasing period and then a sudden explosion of population.B.A slow growth for a long time and then a period of rapid,dramatic increase.C.Too many people on earth and a few rapid increase in the number added each year.D.A long period when death rates exceeds birthrates and then a short period with higher fertility and lower mortality.2.During the first period of demographic history,societies were often in danger of extinction because___.A.only one in ten persons could live past40.B.there was higher mortality than fertility in most places.C.it was too dangerous to have babies due to the poor conditions.D.our ancestors had little enthusiasm for more children.3.Which statement is true about population increase?A.There might be an increase of2.2billion persons from now to the year2000.B.About50,000babies are born every six hours at present.C.Between8000BC and the present,the population increase is about80,000,000 persons each year.D.The population increased faster between8000BC and1650than between1650 and the present.4.The author of the passage intends to___.A.warn people against the population explosion in the near future.pare the demographic growth pattern in the past with that after1650.C.find out the cause for rapid increase in population in recent years.D.present us a clear and complete picture of the demographic growth.5.The word“demographic”in the first paragraph means___.A.statistics of human.B.surroundings study.C.accumulation of human.D.development of human.3.I live in the land of Disney,Hollywood and year-round sun.You may think people in such a glamorous,fun-filled place are happier than others.If so,you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun.The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common.Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act.It is a deeper,more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game,watching a movie or television,are fun activities that help us relax,temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh.But they do not bring happiness,because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play,it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun.These rich,beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties,fancy cars,expensive homes,everything that spells“happiness”.But in memoir after memoir,celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun:depression,alcoholism,drug addiction,broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he’s honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly,couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness.They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late as they want.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation.I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to.It liberates time:now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness.It liberates money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.1.Which of the following is true?A.Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction.B.Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness.C.Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived.D.Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness.2.To the author,Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to__.A.rite memoir after memoir about their happiness.B.tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun.C.teach people how to enjoy their lives.D.bring happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties.3.In the author’s opinion,marriage___.A.affords greater fun.B.leads to raising children.C.indicates commitment.D.ends in pain.4.Couples having infant children___.A.are lucky since they can have a whole night’s sleep.B.find fun in tucking them into bed at night.C.find more time to play and joke with them.D.derive happiness from their endeavor.5.If one get the meaning of the true sense of happiness,he will__.A.stop playing games and joking with others.B.make the best use of his time increasing happiness.C.give a free hand to money.D.keep himself with his family.4.Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor.Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families, while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children.Theseroles were firmly fixed for most people,and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles.But by the middle of this century,men’s and women’s roles were becoming less firmly fixed.In the1950s,economic and social success was the goal of the typical American. But in the1960s a new force developed called the counterculture.The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals.The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices.Taking more interest in childcare,men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives.In fact,some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes.In addition,many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier.Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.In terms of numbers,the counterculture was not a very large group of people.But its influence spread to many parts of American society.Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns.Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on“overtime”work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families.Some doctors,lawyers,and teachers turned away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.In the1970s,the feminist movement,or women’s liberation,produced additional economic and social changes.Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers.Most of them still took traditional women’s jobs as public school teaching,nursing,and secretarial work.But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations:police work,banking,dentistry, and construction work.Women were asking for equal work,and equal opportunities for promotion.Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women.Naturally,there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations.1.Which of the following best express the main idea of Paragraph1?A.Women usually worked outside the home for wages.B.Men and women’s roles were easily exchanged in the past.C.Men’s roles at home were more firmly fixed than women’s.D.Men and women’s roles were usually quite separated in the past.2.Which sentence best expresses the main idea of Paragraph2?A.The first sentence.B.The second and the third sentences.C.The fourth sentence.D.The last sentence.3.In the passage the author proposes that the counterculture___.A.destroyed the United States.B.transformed some American values.C.was not important in the United States.D.brought people more leisure time with their families.4.It could be inferred from the passage that___.A.men and women will never share the same goals.B.some men will be willing to exchange their traditional male roles.C.most men will be happy to share some of the household responsibilities with their wives.D.more American households are headed by women than ever before.5.The best title for the passage may be___.A.Results of Feminist MovementsB.New influence in American LifeC.Counterculture and Its consequenceD.Traditional Division of Male and Female Roles.5.Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something.His purpose is settled and decided in advance.He knows what he wants,and his objective is to find it and buy it;the price is a secondary consideration.All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.If the shop has it in stock,the salesman promptly produces it,and the business of trying it on proceeds at once.All being well,the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes,with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man,slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants,or does not have exactly what he wants.In that case the salesman,as the name implies,tries to sell the customer something else,he offers the nearest he can to the article required.No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration;he does so with skill and polish:“I know this jacket is not the style you want,sir,but would you like to try it for size.It happens to be the color you mentioned."Few men have patience with this treatment,and the usual responseis:“This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.Now how does a women go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based on need.She has never fully made up her mind what she wants,and she is only“having a look round".She is always open to persuasion:indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her,even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes,most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain.Faced with a roomful of dresses,a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another,to and fro often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wants to try on.It is a tiresome process,but apparently an enjoyable one.Most dress shopsprovide chairs for the waiting husbands.1.What does a man usually do when he is buying clothes?2.What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?3.What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?4.Many jokes make fun of women shoppers by saying that5.What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?三作文（30分）As we all know,technology is a double-edged sword,it has advantages and disadvantages at the same time,What is your opinion?Write on ANSWER SHEET a composition of about250words on the topic:You are to write in three parts.In the first part,state specifically what your opinion is.In the second part,provide one or two reasons to support your opinion.In the last part,bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.Marks will be awarded for content,organization,grammar and appropriateness.

模拟一：Gandhi’s pacifism can be separated to some extent from his other teachings. (1)(Its motive was religious, but he claimed also for it that it was a definitive technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results. Gandhi’s attitude was not that of most Western pacifists. Satyagraha,) (2(the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of non-violent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred.) It entailed such things as civil disobedience, strikes, lying down in front of railway trains, enduring police charges without running away and without hitting back, and the like. Gandhi objected to “passiveresistance” as a translation of Satyagraha: in Gujarati,it seems, the word means “firmness in the truth”. (3(In his early days Gandhi served as a stretcher-bearer on the British side in the Boer War, and he was prepared to do the same again in the war of 1914-1918.) Even after he had completely abjured violence he was honest enough to see that in war it is usually necessary to take sides. Since his whole political life centred round a struggle for national independence, he could not and, (4)(indeed, he did not take the sterile and dishonest line of pretending that in every war both sides are exactly the same and it makes no difference who wins.) Nor did he, like most Western pacifists, specialize in avoiding awkward questions. In relation to the late war, one question that every pacifist had a clear obligation to an swer was: “What about the Jews? Are you prepared to see them exterminated? If not, how do you propose to save them without resorting towar?” (5)(I must say that I have never heard, from any Western pacifist, an honest answer to this question, though I have heard plenty of evasions, usually of the “you’re another” type.) But it so happens that Gandhi was asked a somewhat similar question in 1938 and that his answer is on record in Mr. Louis Fischer’s Gandhi and Stalin. According to Mr. Fischer, Gandhi’s view was that the German Jews ought to commit collective suicide, which “would have aroused the world and the people of Germany to Hitler’s violence.” 总体分析：本文是一篇介绍甘地的和平主义的文章。

He works .A. loneB. lonelyC. aloneD. lonesomePart two: reading and comprehensionPassage OneThere are few more sobering online activities than entering data into college-tuition calculators and gasping as the Web spits back a six-figure sum. But economists say families about to go into debt to fund four years of partying, as well as studying, can console themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield huge dividends.A 2008 study by two Harvard economists notes that the “labor-market premium to skill”—or the amount college graduates earned that’s greater than what high-school graduates earned—decreased for much of the 20th century, but has come back with a vengeance since the 1980s. In 2005, the typical full-time year-round U.S. worker witha four-year college degree earned＄50,900, 62% more than the＄31,500 earned by a worker with only a high-school diploma. There’s no question that going to college is a smart economic choice. But a look at the strange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college to attend doesn’t come down merely to dollars and cents. Does going to Columbia University (tuition, room and board ＄49,260 in 2007-2008) yield a 40% greater return than attending the University of Colorado at Boulder as anout-of-state student(＄35,542)? Probably not. Does being an out-of-state student at the University of Colorado at Boulder yield twice the amount of income as being an in-state students(＄17,380) there? Not likely. No, in this consumerist age, most buyers aren’t evaluating college as an investment, but rather as a consumer product—like a car or clothes or a house. And with such purchases, price is only one of many crucial factors to consider.As with automobiles, consumers in today’s college marketplace have vast choices, and people search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction in line with their budgets. This accounts for the willingness of people to pay more for different types of experiences(such as attending a private liberal-arts college or going to anout-of-state public school that has a great marine-biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equal amount of money on very different cars, college students (or, more accurately, their parents)often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price for vastly different products. So which is it?21. What’s the opinion of economists about going to college?A) Huge amounts of money is being wasted on campus socializingB) It doesn’t pay to run into debt to receive a college educationC) College education is rewarding in spite of the starting costsD) Going to college doesn’t necessarily bring the expected retu rns22. The two Harvard economists note in their study that, for much of the 20th century, _______A) enrollment kept decreasing in virtually all American colleges and universitiesB) the labor market preferred high-school graduates to college graduatesC) competition for university admissions was far more fierce than todayD) the gap between the earnings of college and high-school graduates narrowed23. Student who attend an in-state college or university can_______A) save more on tuitionB) receive a better educationC) take more liberal-arts coursesD) avoid traveling long distances24. In this consumerist age, most parents_______A) regard college education as a wise investmentB) place a premium on the prestige of the collegeC) think it crucial to send their children to collegeD) consider college education a consumer product25. What is the chief consideration when students choose a college today?A) Their employment prospects after graduationB) A satisfying experience within their budgetsD) Its facilities and learning environmentD) Its ranking among similar institutionsPassage TwoCrippling health care bills, long emergency-room waits and the inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily. Primary care should be the backbone of any health care system. Countries withappropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and cost. The US takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist rather than the primary care physician.A recent study analyzed the providers who treat Medicare beneficiaries. The startling finding was that the average Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctors---two primary care physicians and five specialists---in given one year. Contrary to a popular belief, the more physicians taking care of you doesn't guarantee better care. Actually, increasing fragmentation of care results in a corresponding rise in cost and medical errors. How did we let primary care slip so far? The key is how doctors are paid. Most physicians are paid whenever they perform a medical service. The more a physician does, regardless of quality or outcome, the better he's reimbursed. Moreover, the amount a physician receive leans heavily toward medical or surgical procedures. A specialist who performs a procedure in a 30-minute visit can be paid three times more than a primary care physician using that same 30 minutes to discuss a patient's disease. Combined this fact with annual government threats to indiscriminately cut reimbursements, physicians are faced with no choice but to increase quantity to boost income. Primary care physicians who refuse to compromise quality are either driven out of business or to each-only practices, further contributing to the decline of primary care. Medical students aren't blind to this scenario. They see how heavily the reimbursement deck is stacked against primary care.How do we fix this problem?It starts with reforming the physician reimbursement system. Remove the pressure for primary care physicians to squeeze in more patients per hour, and reward them for optimally managing their diseases and practicing evidence based medicine. Make primary care more attractive to medical students by forgiving student loans for those who choose primary care as a career and reconciling the marked difference between specialist and primary care physician salaries.26.The author's chief concern about the current US health care system is_________.A. the inadequate training of physiciansB. The declining number of doctorsC. the shrinking primary care resourcesD. the ever-rising health care costs27.We learn from the passage that people tend to believe that________.A. The more costly the medicine, the more effective the cureB. seeing more doctors may result in more diagnostic errorsC. visiting doctors on a regular basis ensures good healthD. the more doctor taking care of a patient, the better28.Face with the government threats to cut reimbursements indiscriminately, primary care physicians have to__________.A. increase their income by working overtimeB. improve their expertise and serviceC. Make various deals with specialistsD. see more patients at the expense of quality29.Why do many medical graduates refuse to choose primary care as their career?A. They find the need for primary care declining.B. The current system works against primary care.C. Primary care physicians command less respect.D. They think working in emergency rooms tedious.30.What suggestion does the author give in order to provide better health care?A . Bridge the salary gap between specialist and primary care physicians.B. Extend primary care to patients with chronic diseases.C. Recruit more medical students by offering loans.D. Reduce the tuition of students who choose primary care as their major.Passage ThreeRising costs of office space, time lost to stressful commuting, and a slow recognition that workers have lives beyond the office - all are strong arguments for letting staff work from home. For the small business, there are additional benefits too - staff are more productive, and happier, enabling firms to keep their headcounts and their recruitment costs to a minimum. It can also provide competitive advantage, especially when small businesses want to attract new staff but don't have the budget to offer huge salaries. While company managers have known about the benefits for a long time, many have done little about it, skeptical of whether they could trust their employees to workto full capacity without supervision, or concerned about the additional expensestele-working policies might incur as staff start charging their home phone bills to the business. Yet this is now changing. When communications provider Inter-Tel researched the use of remote working solutions among small and medium sized UK businesses in April this year, it found that 28% more companies claimed to be practicing flexible working practices than a year ago.The UK network of Business Links confirms that it too has seen a growing interestin remote working solutions from small businesses seeking its advice, and claims that as many as 60-70% of the businesses that come through its doors now offer some form of remote working support to their workforces. Technology advances, including the widespread availability of broadband, are making the introduction of remote working a no-brainer. "If systems are set up properly, staff can have access to all the resources they have in the office wherever they have an internet connection," says Andy Poulton,e-business advisor at Business Link for Berkshire and Wiltshire. "There are some very exciting developments which have enabled this." One is the ubiquity of broadband, which now covers almost all of the country (BT claims that, by July, 99.8% of its exchanges will be broadband enabled, with alternative plans in place for even the most remote exchanges). "This is the enabler," Poulton says. Yet while broadband has come down in price too, those service providers targeting the business market warn against consumer services masquerading as business-friendly broadband. "Broadband is available for as little as £15 a month, but many businesses fail to appreciate the hidden costs of such a service," says Neil Stephenson, sales and marketing director at Onyx Internet, an internet service provider based in the north-east of England. "Providers offering broadband for rock-bottom prices are notorious for poor service, with regular outages and heavily congested networks. It is always advisable for businesses to look beyond the price tag and look for a business-only provider that can offer more reliability,with good support." Such services needn't break the bank – quality services can be found for upwards of £30 a month. The benefits of broadband to the occasional home worker are that they can access email in real time, and take full advantage of services such as internet-based backup or even internet-based phone services.Internet-based telecoms, or VoIP (Voice over IP) to give it its technical title, is an interesting tool to any business supporting remote working. Not necessarily because of the promise of free or reduced price phone calls (which experts point out is misleading for the average business), but because of the sophisticated voice services that can be exploited by the remote worker - facilities such as voicemail and call forwarding, which provide a continuity of the company ←image for customers and business partners.By law, companies must "consider seriously" requests to work flexibly made by a parent with a child under the age of six, or a disabled child under 18. It was the need to accommodate employees with young children that motivated accountancy firm Wright Vigar to begin promoting tele-working recently. The company, which needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure to provide connectivity with a new, second office, decided to introduce support for remote working at the same time.Marketing director Jack O'Hern explains that the company has a relatively young workforce, many of whom are parents: "One of the triggers was when one of our tax managers returned from maternity leave. She was intending to work part time, but could only manage one day a week in the office due to childcare. By offering her the ability to work from home, we have doubled her capacity - now she works a day a week from home, and a day in the office. This is great for her, and for us as we retain someone highly qualified.” For Wright Vigar, which has now equipped all of its fee-earners to be able to work at maximum productivity when away from the offices (whether that's from home, or while on the road), this strategy is not just about saving on commute time or cutting them loose from the office, but enabling them to work more flexible hours that fit around their home life.O'Hern says: "Although most of our work is client-based and must fit around this,we can't see any reason why a parent can't be on hand to deal with something important at home, if they have the ability to complete a project later in the day." That staff can do this without needing a fixed telephone line provides even more efficiency savings. "With Wi-Fi [fast, wireless internet connections] popping up all over the place, even on trains, our fee-earners can be productive as they travel, and between meetings, instead of having to kill time at the shops," he adds. The company will also be able to avoid the expense of having to relocate staff to temporary offices for several weeks when it begins disruptive office renovations soon. It has enabled the company to dispense with its business premises altogether, following the realization that it just didn't need them any more. "The main motivation behind adopting home working was to increase my own productivity, as a single mum to an 11-year-old," says Hargreaves. "But I soon realized that, as most of our business is done on the phone, email and at off-site meetings, we didn't need our offices at all. We're now saving £16,000 a year on rent, plus the cost of utilities, not to mention what would have been spent on commuting."31.What is the main topic of this passage?A. How business managers view hi-techB. Relations between employers and employees.C. How to cut down the costs of small businesses.D. Benefits of the practice of tele-working.32.

Reading comprehension (40’)Section 1 multiple choice (20’)Directions: In this section there are reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on your answer sheet.Passage AThe Welsh language has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx, once widely spoken on the Isle of Man but now extinct. Governments financing and central planning, however, have helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europe’s regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the country’s three million people.The revival of the language, particularly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by TonyBlair, was designed to give the other members of the club—Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales—a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union.The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people would like it to have more powers. Its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from the European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europe—only Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living.Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline, Awyr Cymru. Cymru, which means “land of compatriots”, is the Welsh name for Wales. The red dragon, the nation’s symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhere—on T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.“Until very recent times most Welsh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,”said Dyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, and I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Llanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock m usic venue of the National Eisteddfod, Wales’s annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.“There was almost a genetic tendency for lack of confidence,”Dyfan continued. Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think. We can’t do anything,we’re only Welsh. Now I think that’s changing.”1. According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant toA. maintain the present status among the nations.B. reduce legislative powers of England.C. create a better state of equality among the nations.D. grant more say to all the nations in the union.2. The word “centrifugal”in the second paragraph meansA. separatist.B. conventional.C. feudal.D. political3. Wales is different from Scotland in all the following aspects EXCEPTA. people’s desire for devolution.B. locals’turnout for the voting.C. powers of the legislative body.D. status of the national language.4. Which of the following is NOT cited as an example of the resurgence of Welsh national identity?A. Welsh has witnessed a revival as a national language.B. Poverty-relief funds have come from the European Union.C. A Welsh national airline is currently in operation.D. The national symbol has become a familiar sight.5. According to Dyfan Jones what has changed isA. people’s mentality.B. pop culture.C. town’s appearance.D. possibilities for the people.Passage BThe miserable fate of Enron’s employees will be a landmark in business history, one of those awful events that everyone agrees must never be allowed to happen again. This urge is understandable and noble: thousands have lost virtually all their retirement savings with the demise of Enron stock. But making sure it never happens again may not be possible, because the sudden impoverishment of those Enron workers represents something even larger than it seems. It’s the latest turn in the unwinding of one of the most audacious promises of the 20th century.The promise was assured economic security—even comfort—for essentially everyone in the developed world. With the explosion of wealth, that began in the 19th century it became possible to think about a possibility no one had dared to dream before. The fear at the center of daily living since caveman days—lack of food, warmth, shelter—would at last lose its power to terrify. That remarkable promise became reality in many ways. Governments created welfare systems for anyone in need and separate programs for the elderly (Social Security in the U.S.). Labor unions promised not only better pay for workers but also pensions for retirees. Giant corporations came into being and offered the possibility—in some cases the promise—of lifetime employment plus guaranteed pensions? The cumulative effect was a fundamental change in how millions of people approached life itself, a reversal of attitude that most rank as one of the largest in human history. For millennia the average person’s stance toward providing for himself had been. Ultimately I’m on my own. Now it became, ultimately I’ll be tak en care of.The early hints that this promise might be broken on a large scale came in the 1980s. U.S. business had become uncompetitive globally and began restructuring massively, with huge Layoffs. The trend accelerated in the 1990s as the bastions of corporate welfare faced reality. IBM ended its no-layoff policy. AT&T fired thousands, many of whom found such a thing simply incomprehensible, and a few of whom killed themselves. The other supposed guarantors of our economic security were also in decline. Labor-union membership and power fell to their lowest levels in decades. President Clinton signed a historic bill scaling back welfare. Americans realized that Social Security won’t provide social security for any of us.A less visible but equally significant trend affected pensions. To make costs easier to control, companies moved away from defined benefit pension plans, which obligate them to payout specified amounts years in the future, to defined contribution plans, which specify only how much goes into the play today. The most common type of defined-contribution plan is the 401(k). the significance of the 401(k) is that it puts most of the responsibility for a person’s economic fate back on the employee. Within limits the employee must decide how much goes into the plan each year and how it gets invested—the two factors that will determine how much it’s worth when the employee retires.Which brings us back to Enron? Those billions of dollars in vaporized retirement savings went in employees’401(k) accounts. That is, the employees chose how much money to put into those accounts and then chose how to invest it. Enron matched a certain proportion of each employee’s 401(k) contribution with company stock, so everyone was going to end up with some Enron in his or her portfolio; but that could be regarded as a freebie, since nothing compels a company to match employee contributions at all. At least two special features complicate the Enron case. First, some shareholders charge top management with illegally covering up the company’s problems, prompting investors to hang on when they should have sold. Second, Enron’s 401(k) accounts were locked while the company changed plan administrators in October, when the stock was falling, so employees could not have closed their accounts if they wanted to.But by far the largest cause of this human tragedy is that thousands of employees were heavily overweighed in Enron stock. Many had placed 100% of their 401(k) assets in the stock rather than in the 18 other investment options they were offered. Of cours e that wasn’t prudent, but it’s what some of them did.The Enron employees’retirement disaster is part of the larger trend away from guaranteed economic security. That’s why preventing such a thing from ever happening again may be impossible. The huge attitudinal shift to I’ll-be-taken-care-of took at least a generation. The shift back may take just as long. It won’t be complete until a new generation of employees see assured economic comfort as a 20th-century quirk, and understand not just intellectually but in their bones that, like most people in most times and places, they’re on their own.6. Why does the author say at the beginning “The miserable fate of Enron’s employees will be a landmark in business history…”?A. Because the company has gone bankrupt.B. Because such events would never happen again.C. Because many Enron workers lost their retirement savings.D. Because it signifies a turning point in economic security.7. According to the passage, the combined efforts by governments, layout unions and big corporations to guarantee economic comfort have led to a significant change in答案：翻译硕士英语模练习参考答案I.

Writing (30’)Education as a Lifelong ProcessWhen we talk about education, we can easily think of schools, colleges and young people. As a matter of fact, education is so important in modern society that it can be viewed as a lifelong process.Firstly, it’s the requirement of fast-developing society to receive education despite of your age. Our world is changing dramatically with the development of new science and technology. A person who completed his education at school in the 1970s or the 1980s may have encountered new problems when he is working now. The problems might have something to do with his major or other aspects. For example an accountant now must master the skills of accounting through computers, which is a basic tool for him, so he should also learn how to apply his job in a computer no matter how old he is.Secondly, education creates human character and moralities. Through education, youth may learn how to make contributions to the world. And the old may learn new things to enrich their lives. Through education, a healthy person can become stronger and a disabled person can have a new hope on his life. Man can find great pleasure in education.Thirdly, our modem society has provided everyone with the chance to receive education. As long as you wish you could get education by attending night-schools, adult colleges, training centers and even long-distance education through Internet and TV.In a word, knowledge is boundless, and life is limited. So education is a lifelong processI. Directions: Translate the following words, abbreviations or terminology into their target language respectively.

How did I get into medical school? An executive loses his job despite 25 productive years, he tells hims elf: I’m a loser. I can’t provide for my family, and I’ll never be able to do it again. If these real-life examples sound familiar, you may have a caustic commentary running in your head, too. Psychologists say many of their patients are plagued by a harsh Inner Critic—including some extremely successful people who think it’s the secret to their success.An Inner Critic can indeed roust you out of bed in the morning, get you on the treadmill (literally and figuratively) and spur you to finish that book or symphony or invention. But the desire to achieve can get hijacked by harsh judgment and unrelenting fear. Unrelenting self-criticism often goes hand in hand with anxiety, and it may even predict depression.Self-criticism is also a factor in eating disorders, and body disorder—that is, preoccupation with one’s perceived physical flaws. Many people’s Inner Critic makes an appearance early in life and is such a constant companion that it’s part of their personality. Psychologists say that children, particularly those with a genetic predisposition to depression, may internalize and exaggerate the expectations of parents or peers or society. One theory is that self-criticism is anger turned inward, when sufferers are filled with hostility but too afraid and insecure to let it out. Other theories hold that people who scold themselves are acting out guilt or shame or subconsciously shielding themselves against criticism from others: You can’t tell me anything I don’t already tell myself, even in harsher terms.Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy can be helpful in changing patterns of thought that have become painful. There are many patients, such as doctors, lawyers—who believed that if they didn’t flog themselves, they wouldn’t be successful. And part of psychologists’ work is to break through that belief by telling the patients that they usually succeed in spite of their Inner Critics, not because of them.

Even to someone with no knowledge of Latin, the similarities among Roman languages would have made it natural to suggest that they were derived from a common ancestor. On the assumption that the shared characteristic of these languages came from the common ancestor, it would have been possible to reconstruct many of the characteristics of the original common language. In much the same way it became clear that the branches of the Indo-European family could be studied and a hypothetical family tree constructed , reading back to a common ancestor. This is the treeapproach. The basic process represented by the tree model is one of divergence: when languages become isolated from one another, they differ increasingly, and dialects gradually become different until they become separate languages.Divergence is by no means the only possible tendency in language evolution. Johannes Schmidt introduced a "wave" model, in which linguistic changes were like waves, eventually leading to convergence; that is, growing similarity among languages that were initially quite different.Today, however, most linguists think primarily in terms of familytrees. It is necessary to construct some models of how language change might occur according to a process-based view. There are four main classes of models.The first is the process of initial colonization, by which an uninhabited territory becomes populated; its language naturally becomes that of the colonizers. Second are processes of divergence, such as the linguistic divergence arising from separation or isolation mentioned above in relation to early models of the Indo-European languages. The third group of models is based on processes of linguistic convergence. The wave model, formulated by Schmidt in the 1870´ s, is an example, but convergence methods have not generally found favor among linguists.Now, the slow and rather static operation of these processes is complicated by another factor: linguistic replacement. That factor provides the basis for a fourth class of models, in many areas of the world the languages initially spoken by the indigenous people have come to be replaced, fully or partially, by languages spoken by people coming from outside. Were it not for this large complicating factor, the world´ s linguistic history could be faithfully described by the initial distribution of Homo Sapiens, followed by the gradual workings of divergence and convergence. So linguistic replacement also has a key role to play in explaining the origins of the Indo-European languages.第31题The characteristics of the original common language can be described on the basis of______.A.the similarities among Romance languagesB.the hypothetical family treeC.the process known as divergenceD.the common features of Roman languages第32题According to Johannes Schmidt, ______.nguages change on a large scale like wavesB.divergence is not the only possible tendency in language changenguage evolution can be explained in terms of divergence and convergenceD.different languages will become increasingly similar until they develop into one language第33题It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that______.A.there doesn´ t exist any satisfactory model of language changeB.most linguists explain language change only in terms of divergenceC.most linguists generally don´ t accept the idea of language convergenceD.the first process in language evolution is colonization, followed by divergence第34题Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Linguistic replacement can be ignored for the linguistic history to be fully described.B.Linguistic replacement cannot be ignored in explaining where the Indo-European languages come fromC.Because of linguistic replacement, the other three models prove to be incorrectpared with the other models, linguistic replacement is the most important model第35题This passage is primarily written to ______.A.discuss the importance of linguistic replacementB.introduce the origin of the Indo-European languageC.explain the divergence of the Indo-European languagesD.introduce models concerning the origin of the Indo-European languages上一题下一题(36~40/共20题)Reading ComprehensionOf all the catastrophes that could befall America in coming years, a big terrorist attack, perhaps even bigger than those on September 11th 2001, may be more likely than others. Who would pay for the millions in property damage, business losses and other claims from such an attack?This is the question with which America´ s Congress is currently wrestling. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA. was passed as a temporary measure after September 11th to provide a government back-stop for the insurance industry in the event of a catastrophic attack. It now says government can step in when insured losses from a terrorist event top $ 5 m. TRIA has helped to stabilize the market, and enabled insurers to continue offering terrorism-risk cover even after swallowing the big losses imposed by September 11th. But unless Congress acts fast, TRIA will expire at the end of the year. One likely result is the loss of terrorism-risk cover for thousands of firms and proper-ty owners. This, in turn, could disrupt businesses and make some commercial activity impossible. With modifications, TRIA should be extended.The Bush administration has been opposed to extension. It has always seen TRIA as a shortterm measure, and has argued that the private sector should assume sole responsibility for terrorism insurance. This is the right goal. A purely private solution would be best, lifting any future burden-from the taxpayer and relying on the industry to price and spread risks more accurately than any government can do. But relying entirely on the private sector immediately does not look feasible. With TRIA´ s expiration looming, insurers and reinsurers have not, as the administration expected, rushed to write new contracts for next year offering to fall gaps in terrorism cover.Why the hesitation? Unlike other risks, the threat of terrorism cannot be forecast in time or scope, making a mockery of insurers´ underwriting models. A big chemical, biological or nuclear attack is a prospect few can price, or afford to cover. Insurers are already being threatened with downgrades by rating agencies for the terrorism cover they have sold.One reason is that insurance, far from being a free market, is already one of the most heavily regulated of industries. Operating in a highly distorted marketplace, with 50 state regulators, the insurance industry seems to be having trouble pricing the largest of terrorism risks in a way that is credible and can still offer insurers a profit. Letting TRIA expire, and abruptly withdrawing the government role in insuring the largest losses, would just exacerbate this problem.Any renewal of TRIA should, once again, be limited to two years, say. Its extension must alsoshift more of the burden, and the business, to the private sector. If an extension is agreed and TRIA´ s threshold for government intervention is raised substantially, work should begin now to find better longer-term solutions. One place to look is abroad, where governments have dealt with terrorism risk for years. In Britain, for instance, insurers have created a pool of capital that is backed by the government and, over time, shifts a greater share of risk on to the private sector. Other options to consider include tax changes that reduce the cost of holding capital by insurers and reinsurers, and facilitating the use of catastrophe bonds.With fewer regulatory distortions of insurance markets, a solely private solution may be attainable in the long run. In the current environment, though, the same government that regularly warns of terrorist threats must still have a role to play in a solution that safeguards America´s financial security. It would be better to plan ahead than wait for a rushed, Katrina-style bail-out after a big attack. Amid all the uncertainties, one thing seems clear: any such bail-out would be more costly and lead to even greater market distortions without an extension of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act today.第36题TRIA______.A.provides insurance to properties in high-risk areasB.should be extended as it is nowC.requires government support to risk insuranceD.has caused a substantial loss of revenue to the state第37题The private sector is hesitant in taking sole responsibility for terrorism insurance because______.A.their current pricing models cannot estimate terrorism attacks properlyB.they do not often insure things they cannot forecastC.they are threatened by loss of other insurance takersD.they do not have regulator-approved contracts that cover terrorism attacks第38题The extension of TRIA should aim at______.A.making government intervention more unacceptableB.introducing foreign companies into terrorism insuranceC.setting up catastrophe bonds managed by insurers and reinsurersD.pushing the private sector to take sole responsibility第39题If the government let TRIA expire, ______.A.it should stop warning the public of terrorist attacks regularlyB.it will have to pay more money when large scale catastrophe occursC.regulatory distortions of insurance markets will be reducedD.private insurance companies will stop insuring terrorism attacks第40题The writer is______in developing the argument in this passage.A.objectiveB.emotionalC.disturbedD.indifferent上一题下一题(41~45/共20题)Reading ComprehensionIt so happened that Lucy, who found daily life rather chaotic, entered a more solid world when she opened the piano. She was then no longer either deferential or patronizing; no longer either a rebel or a slave. The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world; it will accept those whom breeding and intellect and culture have alike rejected. The commonplace person begins to play, and shoots into the empyrean without effort, whilst we look up, marveling how he has escaped us, and thinking how we could worship him and love him would he but translate his visions into human actions. Perhaps he cannot; certainly he does not, or does so very seldom. Lucy had done so never.She was no dazzling execultante; nor was she the passionate young lady, who performs so tragically on a summer´ s evening with the window open. Passion was there, but it could not be easily labeled. And she was tragical only in the sense that she was great, for she loved to play on the side of Victory. Victory of what and over what-that is more than the words of daily life can tell us. But that some sonatas of Beethoven are written tragic no one can gainsay; yet they can triumph or despair as the player decides, and Lucy had decided that they should triumph.A very wet afternoon at the Pension Bertolini permitted her to do the thing she really liked, and after lunch she opened the little draped piano. A few people lingered round and praised her playing, but finding that she made no reply, dispersed to their rooms to write up their diaries or to sleep. She took no notice of Mr. Emerson looking for his son, nor of Miss Bartlett looking for Miss Lavish, nor Miss Lavish looking for her book. Like every true performer, she was intoxicated by the mere feel of the notes.Mr. Beebe, sitting unnoticed in the window, pondered over this illogical element in Lucy Hon-eychurch, and recalled the occasion at Tunbridge Wells when he had discovered it. It was at one of those entertainments where the upper classes entertain the lower. The seats were filled with a respectful audience, and the ladies and gentlemen of this parish, under the auspices of their vicar,sang, or recited, or imitated the drawings of a champagne cork. Among the promised items was ´ Miss Honeychurch. Piano. Beethoven´, and Mr. Deebe was wondering whether it would be´Adelaida´, or the march of ´The Ruins of Athens´, when his composure was disturbed by the opening bars of Opus Ⅲ. He was in suspense all through the introduction for not until the pace quickens does one know what the performer intends. With the roar of the opening theme he knew that things were going extraordinarily; in the chords that herald the conclusion he heard the hammer strokes of victory. He was glad that she only played the first movement, for he could have paid no attention to the winding intricacies of the measure of nine-sixteen. The audience clapped, no less respectful. It was Mr Bebee who started the stamping; it was all that one could do.´Who is she ?´ He asked the vicar afterwards.Cousin of one of my parishioner. I do not consider her choice of a piece happy Beethoven is so usually simple and direct in his appeal that it is sheer perversity to choose a thing like that, which, if anything disturbs.When he was introduced, Mr. Beebe realized that Miss Honeychurch, disjoined from her music-stool, was only a young lady with a very pretty, pale, underdeveloped face. She loved going to concerts, she loved stopping with her cousin, she loved iced coffee and meringues. But before he left Tunbridge Wells he made a remark to the vicar, which he now made to Lucy herself whenshe closed the little piano and moved dreamily towards him.If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it will be very exciting-both for us and for her.第41题In the first paragraph we are told that______.A.one needs to reject worldly pleasure to truly develop musical talent.B.music is sometimes regarded as a substitute for creation.C.there is often a mismatch between great musical talent and ordinary life.D.it is amazing how great an effect music tends to have on our lives.第42题Lucy´ s piano playing______.A.displayed a mixture of strong feelings.B.tended to be rather melodramatic.C.failed to capture the tragic nature of some musicD.was marred by some inaccuracies.第43题When she played at the Pension Bertolini, Lucy______.A.wished she could play better.B.asked to be left alone.C.resented being interrupted.D.was engrossed in the music第44题What did Mr. Beebe realize at the entertainment he remembers at Tunbridge Wells?A.That the vicar had vetted the contributionsB.That Lucy had a special musical talentC.That Lucy´ s was the only performance of any valueD.That the audiences were duty-bound to show appreciation第45题What surprised Mr. Beebe when he heard Lucy at Tunbridge Wells?A.Lug´ s choice of composerB.The way the opening theme developedC.Lucy´ s choice of pieceD.The fact that Lucy didn´ t play more of the work上一题下一题(46~50/共20题)Reading ComprehensionIf you choose lobster from a menu, then wherever you are in the world, the odds are that your dinner may have come from Arichat in Nova Scotia. The lobster, trapped off the Canadian coast, would have been driven to Louisville, Kentucky, where, cocooned in gel packs and styrofoam, it went for a wild ride on the carousels of the UPS superhub, where 17,000 high-speed conveyor belts, carrying more than 8m packages a week, whisk your living lobster to a plane and on onto tables across the globe.John McPhee´ s new book is about supply lines; how a lobster shares a conveyor belt with Bentley spare parts and jockey underwear. It is about boats, trains and trucks, but mostly it is about the people who drive, tend and love the machines. Don Ainsworth owns an 18-wheelerwith "a tractor of such dark sapphire that only bright sunlight could bring forth its colour. " To wash his truck Mr. Ainsworth uses only water that has either been de-ionised or has undergone reverse-osmosis; anything else leaves spots. "This is as close as a man will ever know" , he says, "what it feels like to be a truly gorgeous woman. People give us looks, going thumbs up.He carries chemicals all across North America where his enemies are gators, bears and four-wheelers. ´ Gators are huge strips of shredded tyre littering the highways and just one of them " can rip off your fuel-crossover line". A bear is a policeman, while a four-wheeler is any vehicle that has fewer than 18 wheels. They buzz around like gnats, seemingly unaware that a real vehicle, one with 18 wheels or more, cannot stop on a dime.The Billy Joe Bolingis a towboat which, perversely, pushes 15 barges up the Illinois River. The barges carry 30,000 tons of pig-iron, steel, coils, fertiliser and furnace coke. Lashed together with steel cables which are then tightened with cheater bars, the Billy Joe Bolingshoves forward a metal raft that is longer than an aircraft carrier. Along the way, the captain copes with bridges, locks, currents, shoals, winter ice 18 inches thick and summer ladies flashing at him. " We brought 12,000 tons of coke up the Illinois River," the skipper tells the author, "and now we´ re pushing 14 ,000 tons of coke down the Illinois River. One day they´ 11 figure it out and put us out of a job.The bosses also want to put the drivers of the coal train out of a job. They dream of automated trains running endlessly along the 1,800 miles between the strip-mines of the Powder River Basin and Georgia´s Plant Scherer, the world ´s largest coal-fired power station. A mile-and-half long train has 133 gondolas, each of which carries 115 tons of coal, and the whole trainload will keep Plant Scherer burning for just eight hours. This book will keep you much longer. It is Mr. McPhee at his wise, wry best, writing in top gear which, as Mr Ainsworth will tell you, is the 18th; "the going home gear, the smoke hole".第46题What is the relationship between lobsters and the subject matter of this essay?_____第47题Why do people give Don Ainsworth thumbs up?____第48题What does the author mean by "a real vehicle, one with 18 wheels or more, cannot stop on a dime"?____第49题Why do the bosses want to put the drivers of the coal trains out of a job?____第50题What does Mr. Ainsworth mean by "the 18th gear"?____上一题下一题(1/1)Writing第51题People can recognize differences between children and adults.

Its qualities are difficult to define. But they are not so difficult to identify.Leaders don’t force other people to go along with them. They bring them along. Leaders get commitment from others by giving it themselves，by building an environment that encourages creativity ,and by operating with honesty and fairness.Good leaders aren’t “ lone rangers. ” They recognize that an organization’s strategies for success require the combined talents and efforts of many people. Leadership is the catalyst for transforming those talents into results.Leaders know that when there are two opinions on an issue，one is not bound to bewrong.They recognize that hustle and rush are the allies of superficiality. They are open to new ideas，but they explore their ramifications thoroughly.Successful leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future—not wedded to the past. They have a hunger to take responsibility，to innovate，and to initiate. They are not content with merely taking care of what’s already there. They want to move forward to create something new.Leaders provide answers as well as direction，offer strength as well as dedication，and speak from experience as well as understanding of the problems they face and the people they work with.Leaders are flexible rather than dogmatic. They believe in unity rather than conformity. And they strive to achieve agreements out of conflict.Leadership is all about getting people consistently to give their best，helping them to grow to their fullest potential，and motivating them to work toward a common goal. Leaders make the right things happen when they’re supposed to.A good leader，an effective leader，is one who has respect. Respect is something you have to have in order to get. A leader who has respect for other people at all levels of an organization，for the work they do，and for their abilities，aspirations and needs，will find that respect is returned. And all concerned will be motivated to work together.上一题下一题(1/1)Translate the following passage into English (60 points)：第32题作为美国馆的首席合作伙伴，我们很荣幸地参与了本届上海世博会。
