We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned with contempt from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending, if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained — we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!3.Translate the following into English ( 60 points).现代化是 20 世纪以来世界各国共同关注的重要话题,是一个国家在历史变迁过程中所经历和展现出来的经济、政治、文化、社会、生态等各领域的重大变革。

Still profitable, thanks largely to a series of successful advertising campaigns, but decidedly boring. The famous were careful not to be seen there, and its sales staff didn't seem to have changed since the store opened in 1908. Worst of all, its customers were buying fewer and fewer of its own-brand products, the major part of its business, and showing a preference for more fashionable brands.But now all this has changed, thanks to Rowena Baker, who became Smithson'sfirst woman Chief Executive three years ago. Since then, while most major retailersin Britain have been losing money, Smithson's profits have been rising steadily. When Baker started, a lot of improvements had just been made to the building, without having any effect on sales, and she took the bold decision to invite one of Europe's most exciting interior designers to develop the fashion area, the heart of the store. This very quickly led to rising sales, even before the goods on display were changed.And as sales grew, so did profits.Baker had ambitious plans for the store from the start. ‘We're playing a big game, to prove we're up there with the leaders in our sector, and we have to make sure people get that message. Smithson's had fallen behind the competition. It provided a traditional service targeted at middle-aged, middle-income customers,who'd been shopping there for years, and the customer base was gradually contracting. Our idea is to sell such an exciting variety of goods that everyone will want to come in, whether they plan to spend a little or a lot.' Baker's vision for the storeis clear, but achieving it is far from simple. At first, many employees resisted her improvements because they just wouldn't be persuaded that there was anything wrong with the way they'd always done things, even if they accepted that the store had to overtake its competitors. It took many long meetings, involving the entire workforce, to win their support. It helped when they realized that Baker was a very different kind of manager from the ones they had known.Baker's staff policies contained more surprises. The uniform that had hardly changed since day one has now disappeared. Moreover, teenagers now get young shop assistants, and staffs in the sports departments are themselves sports fans in trainers. As Baker explains, ‘How can you sell jeans if you're wearing a black suit? Smithson's has a new identity, and this needs to be made clear to the customers.' She's also given every sales assistant responsibility for ensuring customer satisfaction, even if it means occasionally breaking company rules in the hope that this will help company profits.Rowena Baker is proving successful, but the City's big investors haven't been persuaded. According to retail analyst, John Matthews, ‘Money had already been invested in refurbishment of the store and in fact that led to the boost in sales. She took the credit, but hadn't done anything to achieve it. And in my view the company's shareholders are not convinced. The fact is that unless she opens several more stores pretty soon, Smithson's profits will start to fall because turnoverat the existing store will inevitably start to decline.'51. According to the writer, in the mid-1990s Smithson's department storeA. was making a loss.B. had a problem keeping staff.C. was unhappy with its advertising agency.D. mostly sold goods under the Smithson's name.52. According to the writer, Smithson's profits started rising three years ago because ofA. an improvement in the retailing sector.B. the previous work done on the store.C. Rowena Baker's choice of designer.D. a change in the products on sale.53. According to Rowena Baker, one problem which Smithson's faced when she joined was thatA. the number of people using the store was falling slowly.B. its competitors offered a more specialized range of products.C. the store's prices were set at the wrong level.D. customers were unhappy with the service provided.54. According to the writer, many staff opposed Baker's plans becauseA. they were unwilling to change their way of working.B. they disagreed with her goals for the store.C. they felt they were not consulted enough about the changes.D. they were unhappy with her style of management.55. Baker has changed staff policies because she believes thatA. the corporate image can be improved through staff uniforms.B. the previous rules were not fair to customers.C. customers should be able to identify with the staff serving them.D. employees should share in company profits.Passage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.The Affect of Electricity on CancerCan electricity cause cancer? In a society that literally runs on electric power, the very idea seems preposterous. But for more than a decade, a growing band of scientists and journalists has pointed to studies that seem to link exposure to electromagnetic fields with increased risk of leukemia and other malignancies. The implications are unsettling, to say the least, since everyone comes into contact with such fields, which are generated by everything electrical, from power lines and antennas to personal computers and micro-wave ovens. Because evidence on the subject is inconclusive and often contradictory, it has been hard to decide whether concern about the health effects of electricity is legitimate—or the worst kind of paranoia.Now the alarmists have gained some qualified support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In the executive summary of a new scientific review, released in draft form late last week, the EPA has put forward what amounts to the most serious government warning to date. The agency tentatively concludes that scientific evidence “suggests a causal link〞between extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields—those having very long wave-lengths—and leukemia, lymphoma and brain cancer, While the report falls short of classifying ELF fields as probable carcinogens, it does identify the common 60-hertz magnetic field as “a possible, but not proven, cause of cancer in humans.〞The report is no reason to panic—or even to lost sleep. If there is a cancer risk, it is a small one. The evidence is still so controversial that the draft stirred a great deal of debate within the Bush Administration, and the EPA released it over strong objections from the Pentagon and the White House. But now no one can deny that the issue must be taken seriously and that much more research is needed.At the heart of the debate is a simple and well-understood physical phenomenon: When an electric current passes through a wire, it generates an electromagneticfield that exerts forces on surrounding objects, For many years, scientists dismissed any suggestion that such forces might be harmful, primarily because they are so extraordinarily weak. The ELF magnetic field generated by a video terminal measures only a few mill gauss, or about one-hundredth the strength of the earth’s own magnetic field, The electric fields surrounding a power line can be as high as 10 kilovolts per meter, but the corresponding field induced in human cells will be only about 1 mill volt per meter. This is far less than the electric fields that the cells themselves generate.How could such minuscule forces pose a health danger? The consensus used to be that they could not, and for decades scientists concentrated on more powerful kinds of radiation, like X-rays, that pack sufficient wallop to knock electrons out of the molecules that make up the human body. Such “ionizing〞 radiations have been clearly linked to increased cancer risks and there are regulations to control emissions.But epidemiological studies, which find statistical associations between sets of data, do not prove cause and effect. Though there is a body of laboratory work showing that exposure to ELF fields can have biological effects on animal tissues, a mechanism by which those effects could lead to cancerous growths has never been found.The Pentagon is for from persuaded. In a blistering 33-page critique of the EPA report, Air Force scientists charge its authors with having “biased the entire document〞 toward proving a link. “Our reviewers are convinced that there is no suggestion that (electromagnetic fields) present in the environment induce or promote cancer,〞 the Air Force concludes. “It is astonishing that the EPA would lend its imprimatur on this report.〞 Then Pentagon’s concern is understandable. There is hardly a unit of the modern military that does not depend on the heavy use of some kind of electronic equipment, from huge ground-based radar towers to the defense systems built into every warship and plane.56. The main idea of this passage isA. studies on the cause of cancer.B. controversial view-points in the cause of cancer.C. the relationship between electricity and cancer.D. different ideas about the effect of electricity on cancer.57. The view-point of the EPA isA. there is casual link between electricity and cancer.B. electricity really affects cancer.C. controversial.D. low frequency electromagnetic field is a possible cause of cancer.58. Why did the Pentagon and Whit House object to the release of the report? BecauseA. it may stir a great deal of debate among the Bush Administration.B. every unit of the modern military has depended on the heavy use of some kindof electronic equipment.C. the Pentagon’s concern was understandable.D. they had different arguments.59. It can be inferred from physical phenomenonA. the force of the electromagnetic field is too weak to be harmful.B. the force of the electromagnetic field is weaker than the electric fieldthat the cells generate.C. electromagnetic field may affect health.D. only more powerful radiation can knock electron out of human body.60. What do you think ordinary citizens may do after reading the different arguments?A. They are indifferent.B. They are worried very much.C. The may exercise prudent avoidance.D. They are shocked.Passage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Knowledge economyThere have long been markets in tin, cocoa, silver and the like. There used to be security in thinking that somewhere there was a product, something you could touch and see. Now there are new markets in abstractions, trade in ideas and knowledge. Everyone has knowledge but there used to be no way to trade it—except through jobs. That simple fact of economic life was the basis for white collar employment for centuries. The whole job culture grew up because there was no alternative way to sell knowledge, other than the worker or manager providing, for a fixed price, his or her knowledge to an employer to own or control. The quantity of knowledge provided has typically been measured in time.But today we stand at the threshold of a new era. The information economy has matured and become smarter. According to many business commentators, we are now living in a knowledge economy .There has always been a market for knowledge, of course. The publishing industry is based on it. But today the internet is making the distribution of knowledge ever easier. The days when the publisher decided what got published are over. Anyone with a PC and a modem can talk to the world. This is reducing the friction in the knowledge economy.Everyone has knowledge of whatever industry she or he is in. say you are a computer dealer, for example. Over the years you have compiled a list of the ten best lowest price places to buy wholesale computer equipment. Now you can sell your knowledge to newer, younger computer dealers who have no way to build up this knowledge without losing thousands of pounds finding it out the hard way. Until now, such knowledge remained securely locked in the recipient’s head, accumulated and then worthlessly withered away. This no longer needs to be the case. Such knowledge can be sold via websites.Knowledge has a distinct advantage in today’s marketplace. It’s a renewable resource. Better yet, it’s worth actually increases. “Knowledge is the only assetthat grows with use,〞 observes Stanford University Professor Paul Romer. But what exactly is knowledge and how can it be packaged to trade on an open market? “Knowledge is experiential information, intelligence applied thorough and gainedfrom experience,〞 say Joseph Pine and James Gilmore in their book The Experience Economy.The value of knowledge often depends on variables such as time and the credibility of the seller. Certain knowledge may have a very limited shelf life.In sights concerning how to set up an internet business in one country, might beworth a fortune on one day and nothing the next, depending on changes in government policy. Markets in knowledge will be significance for one thing. They representone of the most original uses of the web technology. In some corner of the globethere is a company wanting to source plastic widgets from Poland, and somewhereelse another company that wishes to set up a plastics factory there. It’s simplya case of connecting the two.Indicater is a good example of a knowledge trader. It is targeted at food service managers throughout the hospitality industry. “We started with the context rather than extracting money from suppliers,〞 explains founder Mike Day, “we offerfood service professionals interactive support to increase sales and profits. People don’t want another one-dimensional site full of advertising that doesn’t help them to do their job more effectively. It has to be customized offering real solutions to real problems.〞 The site’s features include access to online trainingand a tariff tracker to restaurants can check prices throughout the sector.61. What point is made in the first paragraph?A. Interest in commodity markets has decreased.B. Overall levels of expertise have improved.C. Opportunities to exploit your knowledge were limited in the past.D. External market forces have meant knowledge is underpriced.62. In the third paragraph, what does the writer say about knowledge?A. Acquiring knowledge can be expensive.B. The most valuable knowledge concerns IT.C. Trading knowledge raises issues of security.D. New businesses find it hard to trade in knowledge.63. What point is made about knowledge in the fourth paragraph?A. It provides specialist information.B. Its appeal lies in its exclusivity.C. it can generate new ideasD. Its value accumulates.64. Which application of knowledge does the writer regard as particularly useful?A. analyzing manufacturing trendsB. introducing compatible partiesC. interpreting time constraintsD. advising on legislation65. What key feature is provided by Indicater ?A. approaches that reflect the provider’s own experienceB. access to appropriately trained potential employeesC. advice which directly benefits the bottom lineD. advertising which is carefully targetedSection B: Cloze (20 %)Please fill in blanks 66 to 85 of the following passage.

总之,他们就像一个机器人。
压力大,时间少,功课多。
看到同寝室里的人都上图书馆去学习,到深夜闭馆才回,而自己却去看电影,他们就会有一种内疚感。
一想到白天什么事都没干,心里就感到不安,会整夜因此睡不着觉。
他们学习太紧张,几乎没有时间好好品尝生活,干些其他事,成为一个全面发展的人。

二、英译汉题(每小题 30 分,共 2 小题,共 60)1 . A disciple of Confucius, the favourite Yen Hui, enquired what constituted a moral life. Confucius answered, “Renounce yourself and conform to the ideal of decency and good sense.”“If one could only,” Confucius went on to say, “live a moral life, renouncing himself and conforming to the ideal of decency and good sense for one single day,the world would become moral. To be moral, a man depends entirely upon himself and not upon others.”The disciple then asked for practical rules to be observed in living a moral life. Confucius answered, “Whatever things are contrary to the ideal of decency and good sense, do not look upon them. Whatever things are contrary to the ideal of decency and good sense, do not listen to them. Whatever things are contrary to the ideal of decency and good sense, do not utter them with your mouth. Lastly, let nothing in whatever things you do, act or move, be contrary to the ideal of decency and good sense.”Another disciple of Confucius on another occasion asked what constituted a moral life.Confucius answered, “When going out into the world, behave always as if you were at an audience before the Emperor; in dealing with the people, act as if you were at worship before God. Whatever things you do no not wish the others should do unto you, do not do unto them. In your public life in the States as well as in your private life in your family, give no one a just cause of complaining against you.”The disciple then said: “Unworthy and remiss though I am, I shall try to make what you have just said the rule of my life.”2.Excellency:Thank you for inviting the ASEAN delegations and myself to Beijing for this cultural exchange.Relations between ASEAN and China have been progressing very well and now cover many different sectors of cooperation. ASEAN and China will commemorate the 15th anniversary of their relationship later this year when we convene the ASEAN -China Commemorative Summit in Nanning in October 2006. Our respective leaders will be at the Summit.ASEAN and China have signed many cooperative agreements and MOUs. One of the those is the Memorandum of Understanding on Cultural Cooperation signed in August 2005. We are now seeing the practical operation of this MOU with the gathering of all ASEAN member countries and China for this festival of arts and culture.Through arts and culture, ASEAN and China can promote substantial and substantive people-to-people contacts and linkages. We will have better understanding of our respective societies and ways of life. This will enable us to have a firm foundation for strengthening ASEAN-China ties in the economic, political, security and social fields.Therefore, what we all do here in this festival of arts and culture is not just to promote the national art forms and cultural heritage, but also to appreciate that cultural artists are also ambassadors of goodwill and friendship. I hope all of us will be enriched by this experience in Beijing and contribute to stronger relations between ASEAN and China.三、写作题(每小题 50 分,共 1 小题,共 50)You are required to write an essay of about 600 words in English based on the title below. Please write your essay on the Answer Sheet, using facts, evidences and your own ideas, knowledge and experience to support your views. Respect for Teachers。

Within an effective educational setting, technology can enable students to become able information users and effective users of productivity toolsParents want their children to graduate with skills that prepare them to either get a job in today’s marketplace and advance to higher levels of education and training. Employers want to hire employees who are honest, reliable, literary, and able to reason, communicate, make decisions, and learn. Communities want schools to prepare their children to become good citizens and productive membersof society in a technological and information-basing world. National leaders, the U.S. Department of Education, and other federal agencies admit the essential role of technology in 21st century education.The challenge facing America’s schools is the empowerment of all childrento function effectively in their future, future marked increasingly with change, information growth, and evolving technologies. Technology is a powerful tool with enormous potential for paving high-speed highways from outdated educational systems to systems capable of providing learning opportunities, to better serve for the needs of 21st century work, communications, learning, and life. Technology had become a powerful catalyst in promoting learning, communications and life skills for economic survival in today’s world.

Reading Comprehension (50%)Section A: (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followedby some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices mark A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and write our answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1What makes cells age? Wear and tear, yes. But biologically, says Dr. David Sinclair, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, it is lack of oxygen that signals cells that it is their time to go. Without oxygen, the energy engines known as the mitochondria become less efficient at turning physiological fuel like glucose into the energy that the cells need to function. Eventually they shut down.But in a paper published in the journal Cell, Sinclair and his colleagues describe for the first time a compound naturally made by young cells that is able to make older cells energetic and youthful again. In an experiment in mice, the team found that giving older mice a chemical called NAD for just one week made 2-year-old-mice tissue resemble that of 6-month-old mice (in human years, that would be like a 60-year-old's cells becoming more like those belonging to a 20-year-old).As animals age, says Sinclair, levels of NAD drop by 50%; with less of the compound, the communication between the cell and its mitochondrial energy source also pauses occasionally, and the cell becomes easily hurt from common aging attacks — inflammation, muscle wasting and slower metabolism. By tricking the cell into thinking it is young again, with adequate amounts of NAD, aging can theoretically be reversed.His next step is to put NAD in the drinking water of his mice, and see if they take longer to develop the typical chronic diseases linked to aging, such as inflammation, muscle wasting and cancer. The pathway may become an important target for cancer researchers as well, since tumors typically grow in low-oxygen conditions and are more common in older patients.Because NAD is a naturally occurring compound that simply declines with age,Sinclair is optimistic that boosting its levels in people won't have as many significant negative effects as introducing an entirely new compound might. "If a body is slowly falling apart and losing the ability to regulate itself effectively, we can get it back on track to what it was in its 20s and 30s," he says.31. What will not make cells age?A. Oxygen.B. Wear and tear.C. Lack of oxygen.D. Less physiological fuel.13.What is the function of mitochondria?To produce physiological fuel.To turn physiological fuel into energy.To create oxygen in people's body.To produce cells.14.What do we know about NAD?It is an artificial compound.It is made of young cells.It can revive older cells.It can be made in one week.15.What will happen as animals become older?Communication between cells disappears.Levels of NAD nearly drop by half.The metabolism of the cell becomes faster.Their cell becomes vulnerable to common aging attacks.16.Why does Sinclair think boosting levels of NAD won't cause many negative effects?Because NAD is an entirely new compound to human's body.Because NAD can resist chronic diseases linked to aging.Because NAD has been successfully tested on mice.Because NAD naturally occurs in human's body.Passage 2Catastrophic volcanic eruptions in Europe may have culled Neanderthals to the pointwhere they couldn't bounce back, according to a controversial new theory. Modern humans, though, squeaked by, thanks to fallback populations in Africa and Asia, researchers say.About 40,000 years ago in what we now call Italy and the Caucasus Mountains, which straddle Europe and Asia, several volcanoes erupted in quick succession, according to a new study to be published in the October issue of the journal Current Anthropology. It's likely the eruptions reduced or wiped out local bands of Neanderthals and indirectly affected farther-flung populations, the team concluded after analyzing pollen and ash from the affected area. The researchers examined sediments layer from around 40,000 years ago in Russia's Mezmaiskaya Cave and found that the more volcanic ash a layer had, the less plant pollen it contained.“We tested all the layers for this volcanic ash signature. The most volcanic-ash-rich layer—likely corresponding to the so-called Campanian Ignimbrite eruption, which occurred near Naples—had no [tree] pollen and very little pollen from other types of plants,” said study team member Naomi Cleghorn.“It's just a sterile layer." The loss of plants would have led to a decline in plant-eating mammals, which in turn would have affected the Neanderthals, who hunted large mammals for food.“This idea of an environmental cause for the Neanderthals' demise has been out in the literature. What we're trying to do is point out a specific mechanism," said Cleghorn, an anthropologist at the University of Texas, Arlington.Other theories propose that modern humans played a vital role in the fall of the Neanderthals, either through competition, warfare, or interbreeding. If the volcanoes theory is correct the Neanderthals’ end was much more tragic: dying slowly in a cold and desolate landscape bereft of food sources. It’s hard to say what would have been like to be the last few groups out there, seeing other groups less and less over the years," Cleghorn said.The Neanderthals were a hardy species that lived trough multiple ice ages and would have been familiar with volcanoes and other natural calamities. But the eruptions 440,000 years ago were unlike anything Neanderthals had faced before, Cleghorn and company say. For one thing, all the volcanoes apparently erupted around the same time. And one of those blasts, the Campanian Ignimbrite, is thought to have been the most powerful eruption in Europe in the last 20,000 years. "It's much easier to adapt to something that's happening over a couple of generations," Cleghorn said. “You can move around, you can find other places to live, and your population can rebound." "This is not that kind of event," she said. “This is unique.There may also have been small bands of Homo sapiens living in Europe at the time, Cleghorn said. They too would have been affected by the eruptions. But modern humans likely avoided extinction because they had larger populations in Africa and Asia, she said, while most Neanderthals were in Europe around that time. “With their small population groups, Neanderthals did not really have a great source population," Cleghorn said. “They didn't really have the numbers and thedensity to rebuild their populations after the eruptions.The researchers acknowledge that there are gaps in the volcanoes theory. For instance, the time line needs to be better defined—did the volcanic eruptions occur in a period of months, years, or decades? “At this point, it's impossible to pin down a reliable date" for the eruptions, Cleghorn said. “We can't say that this eruption happened 50 years before the next eruption. We just don't have that kind of resolution." It's also unknown exactly how long it took the Neanderthals to die out—or how long after the eruptions modern humans began settling Europe in force, she said.Anthropologist John Hoffecker, though, suggests that modern humans had already begun crowding out Neanderthals in Europe long before the eruptions in question.Judging from discoveries of modern-human artifacts in former Neanderthal strongholds, Hoffecker said, "Neanderthals were clearly in trouble well before 40,000 years ago, because modem humans were occupying certain places, such as Italy, where Neanderthals had been present. So something clearly had gone wrong there." Perhaps, he added, the volcanic eruptions just dealt the final blow. I'm not entirely convinced that's the case either," said Hoffecker, of the University of Colorado. “But at least that's a plausible scenario that's consistent with the chronology." Study co-author Cleghorn counters that the modern human populations living in Europe 40,000 years ago were small and isolated, and only after the Neanderthals were gone did Homo sapiens populations explode. If modern humans were making any forays into European Neanderthal territory prior to this, they were doing it only on the very margins," Cleghorn said. "What was keeping them from moving very quickly into the heart of Europe? We think Neanderthals were still holding their own and might have held out for much longer,if it hadn't been for the devastating impact of these eruptions."36.What does “bounce back" mean in the first paragraph?A.Leap suddenly.B.Recover from a terrible situation.C.Refuse to accept./doc/134214185.htmle back after being refused.37.What is the relation between Homo sapiens and modern human beings?The word Homo sapiens is used to refer to modern human beings as a species.Homo sapiens are the ancestor of modern human beings.Modern human beings are a branch of Homo sapiens.Homo sapiens are a branch of Modern human beings.38.According to the volcanoes theory, which of the following is NOT the reason for Neanderthals' extinction?The loss of plants caused by volcano eruption led to a decline in plant-eating mammals as well as Neanderthals.The number of Neanderthals decreased due to modern humans' competition, warfare, or interbreeding.The lack of food sources led to the extinction of Neanderthals.The Neanderthals were unfamiliar with and unprepared for volcanoes and other natural calamities.39.We can learn from the fifth paragraph all the followings EXCEPT thatA.The Neanderthals had once survived several ice ages and were experienced in coping with volcano eruptions.B.The extinction of Neanderthals resulted from a succession of volcanoeruptions.C.The volcano eruption happening 40,000 years ago was the most powerful one in the history.D.Neanderthals could not adapt to the sudden change of their surroundings.40. The volcanoes theory cannot convince everyone because .A. there are gaps in the volcanoes theory and the time line is notclearly defined B. modern humans had not yet spread into the heartof EuropeC. modern humans were not as experienced as Neanderthals in coping with natural calamityD. the population of Neanderthals was much larger than that of modern humans Passage 3If only the same could be said of electric bills. The price of U.S. solar power has dropped a whopping 70 percent since 2009, even as panels get smarter.The figure, cited in a report this week from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, coincides with SolarCity's debut on Friday of what it calls the world's most efficient rooftop solar panel. The largest residential solar installer in the U.S. says its module can produce 38 percent more power than a standard one, yet costs less to produce power.Not bad for an industry that had no large-scale U.S. presence just a decade ago. Photovoltaic panels currently contribute only about 1 percent of all electricity, but lower costs are helping fuel the expansion of large, utility-size projects.As historic UN climate talks near, solar's latest strides are key in the worldwide race to slash carbon emissions by paring back dependence on fossil fuels.“It is quite remarkable and exciting when you have this amount of growth, and an industry goes from basically being a hobby to a mainstream industry," says Peter Rive, SolarCity's co-founder and chief technology officer. (Rive's cousin and SolarCity's chairman, Elon Musk, is also seeking to boost solar's appeal to utilities with his recently launched Tesla battery system.)The company's new panel "takes solar a step further to be a cheaper energy source without requiring federal incentives such as the investment tax credit," Rive says.That credit currently returns 30 percent of a solar system's cost to the buyer. Its looming expiration at the end of next year has lent urgency to the industry’s efforts to bring down prices. The Berkeley Lab report predicts a "frenzied pace of construction over the next 15 months".Contracts to buy power from large-scale solar projects average 5 cents per kilowatt hour, according to the report, while electricity prices on the wholesale market run from 3 cents to 6 cents per kilowatt hour.The plunging cost of solar hasn't translated to lower electric bills so far: in most region seven ones with big solar plants—people are paying a bit more forpower than they did a few years ago, because many different factors go into determining retail electricity rates. Rather, the trend means more of that power might be coming from carbon- free sources that are less subject to the price shocks of fossil fuels.“While it's difficult to make a direct cost comparison between new solar projects and existing fossil fuel power plants," says report co-author Mark Bolinger, “Solar is getting to a point where it can compete with coal and natural gas for electricity in some places."“Just a few years ago, that was much more of a stretch," he says.The falling price of power from large-scale solar projects reflects the lower cost of building them. The report notes that cost fell by more than 50 percent between 2009 and 2014. At the same time, solar farms have seen a “notable improvement”in how much power they put out, thanks to better technology.SolarCity is aiming to apply its own gains in efficiency and cost to the residential market when it begins production at its l-gigawatt facility in Buffalo, New York, in early 2017. Its new rooftop pane, which earned a rating of 22.04 percent efficiency in a third-party certification test, surpasses an earlier record set by SunPower, which has a high-efficiency model rated at 21.5 percent.Another trend Bolinger called “encouraging”: Solar's reach is expanding. Most development has been centered in the Southwest, but Bolinger says big solar power contracts are cropping up in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and Georgia—states that “haven't seen much solar development in the past to speak of".Of course, prices won't keep tumbling so steeply in the years ahead. What we might see instead, Bolinger says, is that the market for solar will just continue to expand.41.The following statements are the reasons for the dropping of the solar powerprice in the U.S. EXCEPTthe cost of solar power decreased.the output of solar power increased.the technology of solar power advanced.the federal incentives towards solar power are favorable.42.What can we learn about "the investment tax credit" in the passage?The investment tax credit is one of federal incentives.The investment tax credit is a long-term policy for solar power industry.The investment tax credit always returns 30 percent of a solar systems costto the buyer.The investment tax credit will cause the price of solar power to rise.43.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?Electric bills have dropped in the U.S. since 2009.Solar power consists of the largest part of all electricity.SunPower has developed the world's most efficient rooftop solar panel.Most development of solar power has been centered in the southwest in theU.S.44.A suitable title for the passage would beSolar Power: A New Green EnergySolar Energy Sees Eye-Popping Price DropsDevelopment of Solar EnergySolar Energy: A Substitute for Fossil Fuels45.What does the word “slash” mean?A. reduce greatlyB. increase greatlyC.reduce slightlyD. increase slightlySection B Cloze (20 %)Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally,therefore, thechoice of an 46 should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school.Actually, 47 most people make several job choices during their working lives, 48 because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve 49 position. The “oneperfect job" does not exist. Young people should 50 enter into a broad flexibletraining program that will 51 them for a field of work rather than for a single52.Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans 53 benefit of helpfrom a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing 54 about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their life work ona hit-or- miss 55 . Some drift from job to job. Others 56 to work in which theyare unhappy and for which they are not fitted.One common mistake is choosing an occupation for 57 real or imagined prestige. Toomany high- school students—or their parents for them—choose the professionalfield, 58 both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions andthe extremely high educational and personal 59. The imagined or real prestige ofa profession or a “white-collar” job is 60 good reason for choosing it as life'swork. 61, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion ofjobs are in mechanical and manual work, the 62 of young people should give serious63 to these fields.Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea ofwhat he wants 64 life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some peopledesire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security;others are willing to take 65 for financial gain.

This single stick, which you now behold ingloriously lying in that neglected corner, I once knew in a flourishing state in a forest. It was full of sap, full of leaves, and full of boughs, but now in vain does the busy art of man pretend to vie with nature, by tying that withered bundle of twigs to its sapless trunk. It is now, at best, but the reverse of what it was: a tree turned upside down, the branches on the earth, and the root in the air. It is now handled by every dirty wench, condemned to do her drudgery, and by a capricious kind of fate destined to make other things clean and be nasty itself. At length, worn to the stumps in the service of the maids, it is either thrown out of doors or condemned to its last use—of kindling a fire. When I beheld
