Extended Answer SectionThere are three questions in this section,each with a number of parts.Write your answers in the space provided below each part.If you need more space there are extra pages at theend of the examination paper.1.A shop sells pencils ofﬁve colours:red,orange,yellow,green and blue.Mrs Schwarzgoes to the shop,buys a selection of pencils and distributes them all to her children Ann, Ben,Chris and Don.What is the number of diﬀerent outcomes under the condition that(a)Each of the children gets two pencils?(2marks)The number of ways to choose two pencils is5+2−12=15so the total numberof outcomes is154=50625.(b)Each of the children gets three pencils of diﬀerent colours?(2marks)The number of ways to choose three pencils of diﬀerent colours is53=10so thetotal number of outcomes is104=10000.(c)Suppose Mrs Schwarz buys ﬁve pencils,one pencil of each colour.What is thenumber of diﬀerent ways to distribute them to the children so that Ann and Ben get two pencils each,Chris gets one pencil and Don gets none?(2marks )The number is the multinomial coeﬃcient52,2,1=5!2!2!1!=30.(d)Suppose Mrs Schwarz buys ten green pencils.What is the number of diﬀerent waysto distribute them to the children?(2marks )This is the number of unordered selections with repetitions of 10things from 4things:for each pencil we select one of the four children.Hence the answer is4+10−110 = 1310 = 133 =13·12·116=286.(e)Suppose Mrs Schwarz buys ten green pencils.What is the number of diﬀerent waysto distribute them to the children so that at least two of the children get the same number of pencils?(2marks) The total number of ways was found in the previous part;it equals286.We need to subtract the number of distributions where each child gets a diﬀerent number of pencils.There areﬁve possible ways to divide the ten pencils into four groups ofdiﬀerent sizes:(0,1,2,7),(0,1,3,6),(0,1,4,5),(0,2,3,5),(1,2,3,4).Each group yields4!=24distributions to the children.Hence,the answer is 286−5·4!=286−120=166.2.(a)Given propositions x,y and z,consider the compound proposition(x∨∼y)⇒(y∧z).(i)Construct the truth table for this proposition.(2marks)Set f=(x∨∼y)⇒(y∧z).The table isx y z fT T T TT T F FT F T FT F F FF T T TF T F TF F T FF F F F(ii)Interpreting the proposition as a Boolean function f in the variables x,y and z(replace T by1and F by0in the table),write down the Boolean expressionfor f in disjunctive normal form.(2marks)x y z f11111100101010000111010100100000Hence f=xyz∨x yz∨x yz .(iii)Apply the Karnaugh map method toﬁnda simpler Boolean expression for f.The corresponding Karnaugh map isyz yz y z y zx1000x 1100The1’s in the map are covered by two blocks of two1’s thus producing the Boolean expression x y∨yz.(b)For any real parameter a ∈R consider the proposition p (a )given by∀x ∃y xy =0 ⇒ x =a ,where the universal set U is the set of all real numbers.(i )Apply the negation rule to the quantiﬁers to write ∼p (a )without using the implication sign ⇒.(2marks )Since the negation of q ⇒r is equivalent to q ∧∼r ,the proposition ∼p (a )reads ∃x ∀y xy =0 ∧ x =a.(ii )Using your answer to the previous part or otherwise,ﬁnd all values of a for which p (a )is true.(2marks )The proposition∃x ∀yxy =0 ∧ x =ais true for a =0and false for a =0.Hence,p (a )is true for a =0and false for a =0.3.(a)The sequence a n is deﬁned by the recurrence relation a n=−8a n−1+33a n−2,n 2,subject to the initial conditions a0=1and a1=17.(i)Find an explicit formula for a n.(3marks)The characteristic equation isλ2+8λ−33=0.Its roots areλ1=3andλ2=−11.Hence the general solution of the recurrence relation isa n=A3n+B(−11)n.Substituting the initial conditions we getA+B=1and3A−11B=17.Solving the equations simultaneously weﬁnd A=2and B=−1.Therefore,a n=2·3n−(−11)n.(ii)Using the explicit formula for a n found in the previous part or otherwise,ﬁnda closed form for the generating function of the sequence a n.(2marks)The generating function isG(z)=∞n=0(2·3n−(−11)n)z n=2∞n=0(3z)n−∞n=0(−11z)n=21−3z−11+11z. This is a closed form of G(z)which can also be written asG(z)=1+25z1+8z−33z2.(b)Let x n and y n be two sequences.Suppose that they satisfy the respective recurrencerelations x n =x n −1−x n −2+n 2and y n =y n −1−y n −2+n 2−2n +1with n 2.Write down the recurrence relation satisﬁed by the sequence z n deﬁned by the formulaz n =x n −y n .(2marks )We havez n =x n −y n =x n −1−x n −2+n 2−(y n −1−y n −2+n 2−2n +1)=z n −1−z n −2+2n −1.Hence,the recurrence relation is z n =z n −1−z n −2+2n −1.(c)The generating function B (z )of the sequence b n is given by the expressionB (z )=1+2z1+z +z 2.Give a closed form for the generating function C (z )of the sequence c n deﬁned by the formulac n =b n +2,n 0.(3marks )We haveC (z )=∞ n =0c n z n =∞ n =0b n +2z n =z −2∞ n =0b n +2z n +2=z −2∞n =2b n z n =z −2(B (z )−b 0−b 1z ).Now we ﬁnd b 0and b 1by writing1+2z1+z +z 2=b 0+b 1z +...so that1+2z =(1+z +z 2)(b 0+b 1z +...)and1+2z =b 0+(b 1+b 0)z +....This gives b 0=1and b 1=1.Thus,C (z )=z −21+2z 1+z +z 2−1−z =−2+z 1+z +z 2.End of Extended Answer SectionThis is the last page of the question paper.。

They were majestic creatures, with their golden fur and powerful roar. My little sister was especially excited to see them up close.Next, we went to the reptile house. I have always been fascinated by snakes and lizards, so I was thrilled to see them slithering around in their glass enclosures. My mom, on the other hand, was a bit scared of them and kept her distance.After that, we visited the primates section. Watching the monkeys swing from tree to tree was so entertaining. They were so agile and playful, just like little children. My dad even tried to imitate their movements, much to our amusement.The highlight of the day was the dolphin show. We all sat in awe as the dolphins performed amazing tricks in the water. It was truly a magical experience that we will never forget.At the end of the day, we were all tired but happy. Visiting the zoo was not only fun but also educational. We learned so much about different animals and their habitats. It was a day well spent with my family.Questions:1.

Reading Comprehension.(40%)(1)Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said,” You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn‟t know about.”So he became a thief, but he did not do the stealing. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.One day they were looking for rich families to rob，and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.When he went back to Jim, he said,” That family can‟t have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there.”31．What Jim can be said to be .A. an excuseB. a lie D. a truth32 Jim didn‟t do the stealing, .C. but he made stealing plans and gave ordersD. for he was afraid of being caught33. Where did one of the thieves go to do the stealing?A. to the villageB. to the countryC. to the cityD. to the town34. It can be concluded from the story that .A. Jim and his men didn‟t rob the familyB. the family they were going to bob was not rich in fact.C. the thief sent to the beautiful house was foolish enoughD. the young man and the girl were husband and wife(2)In order to be one‟s true self, it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge of what has been said and done in the world.; critically to inquire into it; carefully to consider it; clearly to analyze it; and earnestly to carry it out.It matters not what you learn, but when you once learn a thing, you must never give it up until you have mastered it. It matters not what you inquire into, but when you once inquire into a thing, you must never give it up until you have thoroughly understood it. It matters not what you try to think of, but when you once try to think of a thing, you must never give it up until you have got what you want. It matters not what you try to carry out, but when you once try to carry out a thing, you must never give it up until you have done it thoroughly and well.If another man succeeds by one effort, you will use a hundred efforts. If another man succeed by ten efforts, you will use a thousand.36 .According to the author, first of all one must .A. analyzeB. inquireC. obtain knowledgeD. act37.

They are the most hard workingcreatures and most of them make their nests under ground. The small black ants that we see running back and forth in the grass are the same ants that bother us by coming to our picnics uninvited. They are not trying to be harmful, but are only doing the house-keeping job they were made for. They are nurses‟ clean-up crew. One of these ants, scouting in the grass, finds the trail of an injured beetle. In some mysterious way the news spreads. Soon there are two ants, then a few more. Then a dozen or more are running around the beetle. Enough ants will come to put an end to it.Then the beetle is dead, the ants carry it away to their underground nests. They leave nothing in the grass but empty shell.39.According to this passage the black ants‟ job is to .A. kill a beetleB. clean up the grassC. help injured insectsD. enjoy our picnic40 As soon as an ant finds an injured inset, it .A. make friends with itB. kills itC. carries it away and eats it D lets other ants know41. More ants know about the beetle ..A. by smelling itB. by hearing the sounds it makes C from other ants D. from the injured beetle42 The ants clean the grass byA. carrying away everything but shellB. carrying away the whole beetleC. putting the whole beetle under the groundD. covering the beetle with leaves(4)Man …s first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it.The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature---- no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel?Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. This would roll along just as the logs did yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.41. The wheel is important because .A. it was man‟s first real invention.B. all transportation depends on it.C every machine depends on it D. both B and C42 The wheel is described as .A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. light43It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because .A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheel in natureD. it was very complicated44.This passage says that the first wheel might have been a .A. round piece of stoneB. heavy log45. The idea of making wheel might have come from .A. chasing an animalC. watching running animalsD. rolling the dead body of an animal on logs(5)People use money to buy food, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need. When they work they usually get paid in money.Most of the money used today is made of metal or paper. But in ancient times people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.In China, cloth and knives were used as money. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used in some parts of Africa. Rice was also a kind of money used by the ancient people in some islands. Cows and other animals were used as money too.The first copper coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. Different countries had used different metals for their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver. But gold and silver were heavy to carry when people need a lot of coins to buy something expensive. The Chinese were the first to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one paper to another than the paper money used today.47. People gave up gold and silver coins because . .A. they were too heavy C. they were easy to slip off D. they were useless48 first used paper money .A. IndiaB. AmericaC. FranceD. China49. African people used as money in ancient times. .A. cloth and knivesB. cows and other animalsC. copper coinsD. tusks, monkey tails and salt50. The best title for this passage is . .A. Paper Can Be Used as Money C. The History of MoneyD. Money in Ancient Times(6)When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhood---all of them too young to walk----and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance.She was amused, and placing herself at the piano, she began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very lucrative occupationMy mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lesson did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes I asked him why, and when he replied “ Because it is beautiful,” I said it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled. I believe that whatever the child is going to do in life should begin when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.46.When her mother came home one day, the narrator of the story .A. was teaching half a dozen babies to danceC. was collecting babies of the neighborhoodD. was making babies of the neighborhood sit before her on the floor47. The attitude of the narrator‟s mother toward her school of dance was one of . .A. despiserB. contemptC. supportD. indifference48 The narrator thought the ballet was .A. the most graceful danceB. stiff, ugly and unnaturalC. a dance that she had dreamedD. an invisible world into which she guessed she might enter49.According to the narrator, she owed her success in art to . .A. the good education her parents gave herC. her inborn talentD. her ballet teacher50. The central idea of the passage is that .A. parents should try to discover the natural gift in their children and help to develop it while they are youngB. the so-called good education parents gave their children only drive then into the commonplaceC. mothers should be heroic and adventurousD. ballet is no good as a form of dance.(7)Languages are marvelously complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture, they embody the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.” A culture and its languages are as inseparable as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English maxim has it, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.31. The best title for this passage is .ans of Culture Seeing eye-to-eye Non-verbal Linguistic Elements32. According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is .A.to read the works of poets and philosophers B、C、to begin by learning its body languageD、to visit a country where English is spoken33. According to this passage, gestures are .A.non-verbal as well as non-linguisticB.verbal and linguisticC.non-verbal but nevertheless linguisticD.verbal but nevertheless non-linguistic34. “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.” Means .A.If one learns many foreign languages, one will have a better understanding of his own language.B.Life is richer and more interesting if one knows several languages.C.No matter how many languages one knows, one can never know more than one‟s own cultureD.If a person speaks only one language, he will live a very happy life.35. What does the author imply but not state in the passage?A.To learn a foreign language is to learn a cultureB. A language cannot function without its particular cultureC.Seeing eye to eye is the best beginning of contactD.Eye contact is important for a foreign and a native English.III Cloze (10%)(1)Many Chinese students don‟t diverse enough attention 51 spoken English at school. They think it necessary to practice speaking English 52 class, but not out of class. Here is a story to show you how important 53 to speak the English language 54 in every day life.A foreigner once got 55 and went into a restaurant in London. He sat down 56 . When the writer came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers 57 it and took 58 out again in order to express that he wanted something to eat forhe could not speak 59 .60 his head. The waiter then took away the tea and brought a cup of coffee. The man again shook his head. The man tried again and again, but the waiter couldn‟t understand him. Finally another man came in. He spoke English clearly and fluently. In a few minutes, there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table before him..51. A. of B. in C. with D. to52. A. from B. into C. in D. on53.

A. shake B. shaking C. shock D. shook(2)How important is your 51 ? 52 everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier than the ordinary people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some men may be 53 interested in looking at you than 54 to you. They think of you as a picture 55 a person. There are also some people who think that women who are 56 pretty and men who are particularly handsome 57 be stupid. They think so probably 58 those beautiful women and handsome men play 59 attention to their appearance, and they spend little time 60 something. They believe that only 61 people can be intelligent. The intelligence can 62On 63 hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that 64 your mother doesn‟t want to look at; and no to be 65 either; that is to be neither attractive and have a face that is 66 forgotten.67 attractive is like being rich: it can help you find happiness, but it doesn‟t always make you happy. So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about 68 your look, 69 simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost 70 attractive.51. A. wealth B. appearance C .status D. position52. A. But B. As C. Although D. Therefore53.

When Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight. The dog could perform several duties. Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boot” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams’ daily papers but with a half-ounce packet of Williams’ favorite tobacco, John Rhiney’s Mixed. A gun-dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the papers and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times －”days,”“late days” or “nights.” Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams’ slippers were brought to him, the papers and tobacco too if previously undelivered. A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty dollars. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later－that was five days after the fall－Prince dropped the wallet into Williams’hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty-three dollars, Williams’driving licensing and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no on could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.16. The dog knew it was Wi lliams’ wallet because of .A. the amount of money in itB. the color of it he recognizedC. the mud that was on itD. the smell of it he was familiar with17. What was the relationship between Williams and Prince?A. So far as Williams was concerned, nothing was too good for Prince,B. The dog protected Williams from the others in the family.C. Prince behaved as he did through fear of Williams.D. The dog was a devoted friend to Williams.18. How did the dog perform his abilities?A. He was delighted to show them off.B. He did his best but was not often successful.C. He did them quickly to get them over.D. He had few opportunities to do them.19. What does the passage tell us about gun-dogs?A. They are the fastest runners of all dogs.B. Their teeth are removed when they are young.C. They can carry birds, ect. without hurting them.D. They breed well, producing many young dogs.20. Williams did not realize his loss for several days because .A. he trusted the dog to find the wallet.B. he was unconscious all that timeC. he thought the wallet was in the houseD. he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passagePassage twoMass production, the defining characteristic of the Second Wave economy, becomesincreasingly out of date as firms install information-intensive, often robotized manufacturing systems capable of endless cheap variation, even customerization. The revolutionary result is, in effect, the demassification of mass production.The shift toward smart flexible techniques promotes diversity and feeds consumer choice to the point that a Wal-Mart store can offer the buyer nearly 110,000 products in various types, sizes, models and colors to choose among. But Wal-mart is a mass merchandiser. Increasingly, the mass market itself is breaking up into differentiated segments as customer needs diverge and better information makes it possible for business to identify and serve micro-markets. Specialty stores, shopping centers, superstores, TV home-shopping systems, computer-based buying, direct mail and other systems provide a growing diversity of channels through which produces can distribute their wares to customers in an increasingly demassified marketplace. When we wrote Future Shock in the late 1960s, visionary marketers began talking about “market segmentation.”Today they no longer focus on “segments” but on “particles”－family units and even single individuals. Meanwhile, advertising is targeted at smaller and smaller market segments reached through increasingly demassified media. The dramatic breakup of mass audiences is underscored by the crisis of the once great TV networks, ABC, CBS and NBC, at a time when Tele-Communications, Inc. of Denver, announces a fiber-optic network capable of providing viewers with five hundred interactive channels of television. Such systems mean that sellers will be able to target buyers with even greater precision. The simultaneous de-massification of production, distribution and communication revolutionizes the economy and shifts it from the sameness toward extreme diversity.21. From the last sentence of the last paragraph, it can be concluded that .A. the future economy will be diversified as a result of de-missification of productionB. the economy will be thoroughly reformed by demassifying production, distribution and communication so as to make it diversifiedC. distribution and communication helps to bring about the economic revolution in the futureD. the economy in the future will be more and more diversified with the distribution and communication forms revolutionized22. Which of the following can be taken as the characteristic feature of the Second Wave economy?A. Endless cheap variationB. Information- intensive.C. Mass productionD. Smart flexible techniques.23. Which of the following is Not true of a Wal-Mart store?A. It offers the customer endless cheap variation of products.B. It offers better information for the customer needsC. It promotes diversity and feeds consumer wider choice among the products offered/D. It makes it easier for the customers to make a wider choice among the various types, sizes, models and colors.24. TV home- shopping systems and computer-based buying .A. become effective channels through which producers can exchange ideas with their customers to improve the quality of their wares to be sold outB. can be regarded as two channels through which producers can distribute their products to thecustomers on the personal interactive basisC. can be taken as two effective means next to specially stores, shopping centers, superstores and direct mailing.D. are no more than two channels to promote the growing diversity of contemporary marketing25. By “Today they no longer focus on ‘segments’ but on ‘particles’…,” the author means .A. today they shift their attention from the “segments” onto “particles”B. today they not only emphasize “ segments” but also “particles”C. today they begin to realize the importance of “segments” as well as “particles”D. today they cease to pay any more attention to “segments” except for “particles”Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passagePassage threeHarvard, the first American college, was founded in 1636 to train religious leaders. During the years before the American Revolution several other institutions of higher learning were founded by church groups, and during the first half of the nineteenth century many more religious colleges and universities were established. Today more than half of all private colleges have some kind of church connection, but very few of these schools are now devoted to religious education. Students and faculty usually come from different religious groups, and large numbers belong to no religious groups at all.In the first half of the nineteenth century, several states established publicly financed colleges and universities, and many secular private colleges were also founded. For the first time serious attention was given to the higher education of women. The first time coeducation college program was established at Oberlin in 1833, and in 1837 the first women’s college, Mount Holyoke, was founded. Ten years later the University Iowa became the first state university to accept women. By 1860 women were attending many state universities as well as private schools.During the second half of the nineteenth century, the federal government encouraged public higher education by giving large amounts of land to the states. Money from these land grants was used to founded new public institutions or to improve existing state colleges and universities. During this period there was also a great increase in the number of privately endowed school.The rise of the universities as we know it today was gradual rather than sudden. The first Ph.D. was awarded in 1861, and in the years that followed several other important changes in the organization of American universities took place. Universities instituted systems that did away with rigid curricula and permitted students to select the subject that they wanted to study. Separate departments were made responsible for the teaching of different disciplines such as biology, history, and philosophy. In the 1890s, medicine and law became serious subjects of graduate study. Today, more and more students can get chances to study in graduate schools.26. The passage is mainly about .A. how Harvard University was foundedB. when American women began to receive higher educationC. the relationship between higher education and religionsD. the general development of American higher education27. The first American college, was founded in in order to .A. Harvard, 1636, educate church leadersB. Harvard, 1636, educate American menC. Mount Holyoke, 1837, train American womenD.

The federal government large amounts of land to states in order to .A. build more colleges and universitiesB. rebuild existing state college and universitiesC. promote the development of public higher educationD. win more support from colleges and universitiesQuestions 31 to 35 are based an the following passagePassage fourOne Tuesday evening in the beginning of fall 1996 semester at Shippensburg University, sirens (警笛) sounded. These sirens were not in celebration; they were a cry to the university that something was wrong. A house, only one block away, was on fire. Nine of the university’s students lived there.From the minute the word got out that help was needed, it seemed like everyone showed up. The victims of the fire were offered endless invitations for housing for the night. The very next day, everyone got into gear to do their part in helping them. Flyers mere posted with items that were immediately needed , just to get these students through this next couple of days. Boxes for donations and money jars were placed in residence hall.As a residence director, I went before the students in my hall to ask them to do what they could. I knew that college students don’t have much, but I asked them to do their best: “Every little bit will help.” I really didn’t think they could do much. I was proved wrong.At the hall council meeting the night after the fire, my residents decided to have a wing competition, where each wing of the building would team up to see who could bring in the most donations. I announced that the wing that won would receive a free pizza party.Thursday evening we announced over the PA system that we were beginning the wing competition. Within minutes, the place exploded. The single large box that I had placed in the lobby was overflowing. We quickly grabbed more boxes, and we watched in amazement as they, too, filled to the brim. Member of the resident assistant staff and I began to count the items. I was astonished by what I saw, and these kids inspired me. When we came to the final tally, the winners turned to me and announced that they would like to donate their winnings as well. They wanted the victims of the fire to have their pizza party.Tears welled up in my eyes. I had watched these students jump to action, work tiredlessly and donate all that they could. And then, as if that were not enough, they handed over their reward. I was touched and so very proud of them.31. The best title of the passage can be .A.

The number of foreign 77 jumped from year to year , 78 is a big source of foreign exchange for the 79 . Meanwhile, a large number of international organizations create well-paid jobs for English speaking Laos. So it’s not hard to understand why young people are 80 to learn English.But the way they did 81 was inefficient and awkward. For example, the local teachers use a 82 the text book full of mistakes to teach beginners, who spend most of the time burying their heads and copying incorrect examples and grammar rules in Laos. Even worse, they never use CDs or videos. 83 do they learn the international phonetic symbols, which means students have to rely on their local teachers to learn pronunciation. If the teacher pronounces the words improperly, so do the students.When I first arrived, I was 84 to find that I could hardly communicate with the local English teachers. The strong local accent and Laos grammar made English a new language to me. They also had a hard time 85 me. So did my students.76. A. in B. over C. on D. with77. A. have B. has C. had D. having78.

testpaper2Passage OneA ten-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months o f training, the master had taught him only one move.“Master,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the o nly move you’ll ever need to know,” the master replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward.“No.” the master insisted, “Let him continue.”Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match. He was the champion.On the way home, the boy and his master review every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courageto ask what was really on his mind. “Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons.” the master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”1.Judging from the context, what happens when a referee call s a “time-out”?a.The time for the game has run out.b.The game stops for a short time.c.Either side can claim victory.d.The game ends in a tie.2.Why did the master insist on/persist in/stick to continuing the match?a.Because the time-out would give the opponent an advantage.b.Because the boy was confident of winning.c.Because he had confidence in the boy’s skill.d.Because all he cared about is winning the final.3.What caused the defeat of the boy’s o pponent in the final?a.Over-confidenceb.Impatiencec.Inexperienced.The time-out4.Why did the master only teach the boy one move?a.The boy could not do other moves with only one arm.b.It was the only move the master knew well.c.It was the move his opponents were not good at.d.His opponent would be helpless when he made his move.5.What does the story show?a.One can turn his weakness into his advantage.b.It is very important to have a good teacher.c.Even a disabled person can win in a judo match.d.To master judo one only needs to learn one difficult move.Passage TwoCindy Hess began her automotive career as a Design and Development Engineer with Chrysler, in the fall of 1977. Today, she is Vice-President of Daimler Chrysler, and head of the Small Car Platform Engineering Department which is directly responsible for the design and development of the Neon, Doge Viper, and all future small car s. “Many different departments are involved in bringing a product to market,” said Hess, referring the 2000 Neon. “A company looks into renewing a particular vehicle when its marketplace demand is good, and the profits increase our shareholder’s value,” explained Hess. “We look to our market research in determining which options we’ll keep the same or delete, and which ones we want to add to improve ourappeal.”Now that the Neon 2000 is on the market, her team will use survey and research results to determine which option packages work best for the consumer, and what improvements, if any, need to be made. And the beat goes on.Hess supervises 1200 engineers while managing a successful life as wife and mother. Her secret, she said, is to “always try to give 150 percent in everything I do. The only way I can really balance my work and family is by “cheating at both ends”. Forexample,” Hess said “I always take my boys to school on the first day of the year----so I come in a little late. A few times a year I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend his swim meet.”Like most other successful women in the auto industr y, Hess’s day begins early and ends late. In her case, coaching her son’s basketball game ends some of Hess’s days. “Occasionally,” she adds, “I come in to work on the weekends to catch up on paperwork and mail and have also been known to be called to work while I am on vacation.”1. What is Cindy’s chief res ponsibility now?a. Renewing promising car modelsb. Supervising production.c. Doing market researchd. Developing small cars2. When will a company renew an existing model?a. When is sells well and brings in a good profit.b. When it needs improvement to meet the need of users.c. When some of its features have to be deleted.d. When certain options have to be added.3.

Every day entire species of plants and animals die out, and for the first time in history this is due to the action of just one species: humans. We already know about five mass extinctions, and now a sixth seems to be under way. This one is different, because it is man-made. Deforestation of the rain forests is just one aspect of the phenomenon. Most people may have heard about that, but few people know that most of the species existing in the rain forests have never been described by science. Often they die out before we ever know they existed. Nobody can tell what treasures we lose, perhaps a cure for cancer or other modern-day diseases.World-famous Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson examines life on our planet in his book The Diversity of Life . He doesn't lecture his readers, but states in a matter-of-fact way what is known about the Earth’s past and the impact of mankind on its plant and animal life. Meanwhile, he suggests solutions forthe present crisis.If you are interested in the future of planet Earth and want to learn to see the bigger picture, this is the book for you. This is no light bedtime reading and will probably leave you feeling uneasy However, it’s important for people living in the 21st century to think about how we can pass at least part of this diversity on to our children. Recent research shows that Earth needs about 10 million years to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis. Ten million years are not much in terms of the life of a planet, but the period is way too long for mankind. Wilson’s book should help us to start a process of reconsideration.1.Judgin g from the context, what does the word “extinction” mean?a.Death of many plants and animals.b.Killing of wild animals by man.c.Deforestation of the rain forest.d.Dying out of an entire species.2.In what sense is the present mass extinction different from the five previous ones?a.It is larger in scale.b.It is caused by man.c.The lost diversity can never be restored.d.It threatens the very existence of humans.3.Why should people be concerned about extinction?a.Because many existing species have not yet been studied.b.Because the dying species may be of great value to humans.c.Because it may lead to great climate changes on earth.d.Because the dying species can sure cure cancer and other diseases.4.It can be inferred from the passage thata.there are now more species on our planet than beforeb.every plant or animal is described in his book The Diversity of Lifec.without man’s interference every species would have survived.d.many species lived and died without ever being noticed by man.5.What is the chief purpose of Edward in writing the book?a.To provide readers with some interesting bedtime reading.b.To help specialists do research on plant and animal life.c.To arouse readers’ interest in the h istory of our planet.d.To remind us of the urgency of preserving the diversity of life.Passage FourThe history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too neatly, divided into three periods usually called Old English (or Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, and Modern English. The earliest period begins with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A. D., though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the eleventh century or a bit later. By that time Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on the vocabulary, and the well-developed inflectional(词尾变化的) system that typifies the grammar of Old English had begun to break down.The period of Middle English extends roughly from the twelfth century through the fifteenth. The influence of French (and Latin, often by way of French) upon the lexicon continued throughout this period, the loss of some inflections and the reduction of others accelerated, and many changes took place within the grammatical systems of the language. A typical prose passage, especially one from the later part of the period, will not have such a foreign look to us as the prose of Old English, but it will not be mistaken for contemporary writing either.The period of Modern English extends from the sixteenth century to our own day. The early part of this period saw/witness the completion of a revolution in vowel distribution that had begun in late Middle English and that effectively brought the language to something resembling its present pattern. Other important early developments include the stabilizing effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning of the direct influence of Latin and, to a lesser extent, Greek on the lexicon. Later, as English came into contact with other cultures around the world and distinctive dialects of English developed in the many areas which Britain had colonized, numerous other languages made small but interesting contributions to our word-stock.6. The earliest written record of English available to us started ________.A. from the fifth centuryB. from the seventh centuryC. from the ninth centuryD form the eleventh century7. What characterized the grammar of Old English?A.A well-developed inflectional system.B. The influence of Latin often by way of FrenchC.A limited vocabularyD.A revolution in vowel distribution8. It can be inferred from the passage that today_________.A. a person can pronounce Old English words but cannot understand themB. an educated person can understand Old English but cannot pronounce itC. even an educated person can not read old English without special trainingD. a person with sufficient knowledge of French can understand Old English9. We can infer from the passage that a prose passage from the fifteenth century_______.A. looks like foreign language to contemporary English readersB. looks more like contemporary English than Old EnglishC. can be understood by contemporary readersD. is almost the same as Modern English in grammatical structure10. What is the most remarkable characteristic of Modern English?A. The emergence of new varieties in many parts of the world.B. Gradual changes in its grammatical system.C. Complete loss of its inflectional system.D.

This semester, and half a month in the past, near the tomb-sweeping day holiday, but school is not far from my house, and cut class to go home, early is really a happy thing.This period of time not to worry, but really have a bit tired. Because life is always difficult to adapt to the don't skip school, then I made the lesson of the layout of generation, always can't snub, so from this aspect, I was really made efforts, although this is necessary, but they are delighted his brave step.Back home but it's nothing to do, and don't have to consider what class school where to eat, don't need to do the homework, don't read, this home and watch TV and mother chat to the skies. Quiet, discovered suddenly turn a new page - the calendar in April. The college entrance examination, 67 days left.When it comes to recall the university entrance exam, is such an opportunity, through the movie "youth". The only one I have ever seen a movie about high fill. Name, even if it's a new name. From dazed and confused and brave to vindicate, mom, for the first time the university entrance exam, to was forced to go back to the tutorial, then from wishful thinking self-deception to finally accept the reality, and make the last effort to own youth in a as early as the end, the whole movie is funny, there are sweet, of course the last and tear, feeling. Let the memory of that year early summer woke up suddenly, I really like incredibly dare to lovedare hate plain stubborn character, although I was very ordinary, ordinary or even vulgar, but if only to see the classroom, see the examination paper, see every blackboard some "XX days before the college entrance examination", then naturally, of course will miss that time.Seems to be a sophomore next semester fast into junior, I immediately, speaking of the university entrance exam is so out of place. But I can't deny that I miss that time, miss you.In June 20xx.The last day of class.Have the habit of taking a nap, today no sleep. Packed in the dorm, I decided to go to the classroom tidy up book. The classroom is on the third floor. The bar on the wall of corridor, is light through the leaves of the escape light and shadow, caught between noon solemnly, the wind in the search for the arrival. I shut my eyes, earplugs, imagine that a few days later, the end of the Ming all the hardships will soon come to an end, but I felt a little less than the release, like being on a stone in my heart, to the end, I remembered that I did not have a good shopping here, not a good read out of the window that is higher than the building lush leaves of the tree, haven't seen grotesque white clouds, the sky finally want to try very hard to keep the shadow of the classroom, and I don't know how long it will keep in mind. Even so, I also very hard things here abruptly into the brain. In the last time, I suddenly found a wrinkle out of paper, a familiar seat, a board the blackboard familiar words, there are 361 days left work in this line of word "xx days before the college entrance examination," is very tasty.If I had to find a word to describe the mood of the graduation photo, it is tragic.Some people with a straight face, some people smile, a bit of a face without expression, stand in the most harmonious way, leave insignificant in the long river of time, then the birds and beasts away, back to the classroom to a stream. Even till now I still don't understand what I am from extremely boring test paper, adhere to the operation done several times in the subject, insisted that the whole year.However, when looking at school paper scattered all over the sky, falls, in the heart has a say a pleasure, even though I was not involved in.Go to school at the evening sky, it seems that makes no difference, is still a breeze from the orange clouds and stroke, I imagine the end after 5 days, can't laugh.My memories of high school three years, as if only three this last few days are all enlarged. Three may have since only a few days, so because the rest of the time is almost a repeat. That day I threw away the remaining last few package nestle coffee. They are my flat and agile the bin, then issue the lung, the release of the moment I feel really, don't smell coffee strong focus, is a very with a sense of things.In June 20xx.Hot in the afternoon, I and my the iron man hiding in the dining room on the second floor for final review. Biological three books I read stories that it only took less than half an hour, watching and laughing, because see story as biological materials, can also disclose their plot, and even can write out the next page which position has their own notes. Laugh in the end, the elder brothers hard pen knocked at my head, I unloaded earplugs, to lower the head to continue to read other students don't take a reason I, I'm convergence. And then I drank half bottles ofmineral water, write all conceivable chemical equation, then knead, cast aside. Finally, I have no matter to do, dry smile looking at the elder brothers, a face of her every now and then call him a annoy the Obama, in the end, he is really can't stand, get rid of textbooks, firmly roar, "go away."Then I will not desperately gigantic feet in June a whole afternoon sun playground ran 5 times. The freight station above looked at me and laugh, is not actually run, he said, heatstroke what to do. I said, you go to dead, it's almost five o 'clock, your sister in the heat.Run my feet to protest, but I these years at noon with bare feet on the basketball court crazy is no laughing matter. Wearing flip-flops, I drank the remaining water light, then try to remember a year ago today, nothing. Reply is, after all, when time is compressed like a dry sponge, water even so happily run to full head big sweat, are extremely luxurious thing.Back to the dining hall, picked up the pen, go up carrying bag. Also don't back, it was very cool thing, though objections this elder brothers and the things bring me back, I still put up a forced out. But thank him for the next two started to pour with rain, in addition to nest dormitory reading which I can't. Although there were Chinese notes and double side bad English words, but I was rejected, especially the English words, look back every day, every day yao only 26 letters, apart long at all the same, but really living away my time. But I still don't want to throw away, because I want to leave to take an examination of English page when tore back to the dormitory, it must be very sense of belt.On June 8, 20xx.The bell rings, I have been sitting on the seat for five minutes, five minutes is I this life the most satisfied for five minutes. Haddecided to come back, in the form of a restudy of make up the fault of my high school three years and regret, it is a very brave thing. Reread the dormitory 401, ethanol jun very fun said, not high in life is not full of life. I remember when he said that sentence is mathematical weeks test, we finish the last row several high fill of laughter into state in the problem immediately. Now recall these, it is very sad.The supervisor to verify the test paper, to a serious of balsam pear face, spring breeze face said, congratulations to the students complete the university entrance exam, I wish the students well, ok, liberated.Yes, liberated.Out of the door of the classroom, I deliberately walked slowly. The elder brothers deadpan over there waiting for me. I still can't help but laughed. Ask him how about English, he says, is a primary school students do. This is my first time to listen to his brag, but I fully believe he qualified to say this sentence, be he gets up at five every morning many, and adhere to the first nine months.Is so hot in the evening, and there is no difference between a year ago. My bag across the ride a bike, looking at the big trees on both sides of the quiet guard this Ann and land, feeling very much. Although I imagined that leave the scene here many times and also thought that I could not give up, but really in this time, instead of the imagination are just a door, door left unlocked only pushed the folding fan door, truly feel the feeling of looking at the scenery outside is how.And I seem to all of the exam, day after day, to solve the problem of reading, coffee, scores, said nothing. Really want to quiet feeling last night, these things are need to foil. Three andfour take an examination of higher moments is two feelings. Three time because for two years, three left from scratch for a year, paid the paper knew his own weight, know some regret and blame only tacitly, finds a day has finally become a bloody dagger, a knife, a knife stabbed to the heart, after the relaxation of anxiety, live scores before a period of time into hell, also living results come out later time into thick determination. High four, all of the efforts of hard work, even if finally still fail, also can calm of say, is another matter. I live up to nine months of the ups and downs, I naturally can leisurely yi yi enjoy a moment of quiet and relaxing. The university entrance exam this thing only experienced people know, once the original yourself, is so great a man.I am very grateful to my own, decisively chose the second youth, choose high four, no matter what motivation is, anyhow I am very honest in the face of life the face of a small thing, even now many people who will spend it if it doesn't matter, really nothing. During that time, however, we always keep breakthrough yourself, insist, grind teeth, so tough, how attractive. Because, our experience is more than a period of time that is not to, or a person even how unwilling gritting his teeth strong.So I went in moody looked at several other movie about campus youth, we will eventually lost youth "to", "Jane's you", but not the youth to send so give me a very impulse feeling, maybe it's because I haven't graduated from college, because I know that my life may not be so twists and turns, after all, the story of the characters in the movie, after all, is special.Many people say, miss before because now too well. Actually is not entirely. So far I also have a lot of ideas, paranoid, cheerful, but what I found both touch, no more pure and good high school.We lost the high school's way of life, nature will also lose many precious things. So that my lazy side awakened so thoroughly, until I remembered at that time, I feel incredible and finally filling up the courage to change.Last time and several classmates of the elder brothers drink, dragon said, wish we can always do not come loose in my life, also can do this together after many years. We raised his glass, I said, will, and the final not fail! Drink, and is a good thing. That year, however, that night, accompany me to drink off, he is now in where? Doing what?【高中英语作文：The prosperous】。

QUESTION 3 The following extracts are taken from the article “Lazy Boards at Fault”, Business Review Weekly, July 28-August 3, 2005. The extracts relate to the case against former Telstra director Steve Vizard who was sued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for insider trading. “In Vizard’s statement of agreed facts, emails between the then chief executive of Telstra…and the directors of Telstra over a three-month period in the first half of 200 give a rare insight into how boards work in terms of how deals are put to directors, how long it takes them to sign off on deals and how long it takes some companies…to announce market sensitive deals once they are signed off. Vizard does not dispute that he committed insider trading on three separate occasions with three separate stocks… But what also needs to be looked at is the length of time it took the companies involved to tell the market once the directors had signed off…for instance, in the case of Sausage Software [Telstra directors were informed on March 2, 2000] that Sausage Software and Solution 6 were likely to merge; the merger would create a $4.5 billion company and Telstra would have a 40% stake….Vizard acted on the talk. He instructed his accountant to buy $500,000 worth of Sausage software shares on March 7…The [Sausage Software] Board approved the deal at their meeting [on March 17] and it was not until 9.21am on March 20 that an announcement was made. The Sausage Software share price had shot up a few days before the announcement, suggesting it was more than just Vizard who did well out of this inside information. The lesson to be learned from this is that that the longer the company sits on information, the more people find out and the more likely the chances of insider buying and selling. If the ASX (Australian Stock Exchange) and the ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) want to be taken seriously, they will have to start doing their jobs and stamp out this sort of behaviour.” REQUIRED: a) Explain what is meant by Corporate Governance.
- SHA would still make the sales and collect the revenue; - Advertising costs (currently $240,000) would be reduced by 25%; - Other annual costs (currently $200,000) would fall by 30%. Should SHA accept the offer? Provide necessary calculations to justify your response and identify one other non-financial factor that may be taken into account in making this decision.
claims. Explain what incentives exist for company executives in respect of recognising the financial impacts of these claims. Uncertainty that exists:
“One representative from the company is recently quoted as saying “The Company expects to have to provide an additional contribution of anywhere up to $136 million to comp. If further claims arose, the company would consider putting aside additional amounts.”
QUESTION 1 Safe House Australia Pty Ltd (SHA) sells and installs security systems for residential houses across Australia. The company is in the process of adding to its existing product range. In particular, one of the additional products being introduced by SHA, the “Supersonic Eye”, will increase the range and sensitivity of the existing systems. The Supersonic Eye can be added onto existing security systems. SHA plans to sell the Supersonic Eye for $1,198 fully installed. Based on this price, the company estimates it can sell 5,000 units in the upcoming year. Each system requires parts costing $580 and installation usually takes 2 hours requiring one installer paid $60 per hour. For each system sold, sales staff are paid a sales commission of $58. SHA plans to spend $240,000 on advertising the “Supersonic Eye” to increase customer awareness of the new product. In addition, a further $200,000 will be incurred each year once the product is launched. All dollar amounts are GST exclusive. REQUIRED: Note that each of the following questions are independent of each other unless otherwise stated. a) Calculate the amount of sales revenue that SHA will need to generate from the new
