Now, all he has to do is turn on the radio or TV. As a result, singing and music have declined.Italians used to sing all the time. Now, they only do it in Hollywood movies. Indian movies are mostly a series of songs and dances wrapped around silly stories. As a result, they don't do much singing in Indian villages anymore. Indeed, ever since radio first came to life, there has been a terrible decline in amateur singing throughout the world.There are two reasons for this sad decline: One, human beings are astonishingly lazy. Put a lift in a building, and people would rather take it than climb even two flights of steps. Similarly, invent a machine that sings, and people would rather let the machine sing than sing themselves. The other reason is people are easily embarrassed. When there is a famous, talented musician readily available by pushing a button, which amateur violinist or pianist would want to try to entertain family or friends by himself ?These earnest reflections came to me recently when two CDs arrived in the mail: They are historic recordings of famous writers reading their own works. It was thrilling to hear the voices from a long dead past in the late 19th century. But today, reading out loud anything is no longer common. Today, we sing songs to our children until they are about two, we read simple books to them till they are about five, and once they have learnt to read themselves, we become deaf. We're alive only to the sound of the TV and the stereo.I count myself extremely lucky to have been born before TV became so common. 1 was about six before TV appeared. To keep us entertained, my mother had to do a good deal of singing and tell us endless tales. It was the same in many other homes. People spoke a language; they sang it, they recited it; it was something they could feel.Professional actors’performance is extraordinarily revealing. But I still prefer my own reading. Because it's mine. For the same reason, people find karaoke liberating. It is almost the only electronic thing that gives them back their own voice. Even if their voices are hoarse and hopelessly out of tune. At least it is meaningful self-entertainment.51. The main idea of this passage is that ____________.A. TV and radio can amuse us with beautiful songs and musicB. TV and radio have weakened our interest in entertaining ourselvesC. people should not be too lazy or embarrassed to singD. parents should sing songs and read books aloud to their children52. According to the passage, Italians _________.A. only sing songs in HollywoodB. are no longer fond of musicC. only sing and dance in villagesD. don't sing much nowadays53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the decline in amateur singing?A. It is easier for people to please themselves with songs through TV.B. People don't want to take the trouble to sing songs themselves.C. Amateurs feel shy if they cannot sing as well as the professionals.D. Famous and talented musicians are always willing to entertain people:54. On hearing the voices of the famous writers of a long time past, the author was _______.A. very excitedB. very frightenedC. very nervousD. very surprised55. By stating “We are alive only to the sound of the TV and the stereo", the author means _______.A. we come back to life at the music provided by the TV and the stereoB. we only perceive the music provided by the TV and the stereoC. we should sing more than listen to the TV and the stereoD. we should listen to more music on the TV and the stereo56. The author's attitude toward karaoke is ________.A. negativeB. positiveC. neutralD. indifferentPassage TwoIf those “mad moments”-- when you can't recall what your friend has told you or where you left your keys--are becoming more frequent, mental exercises and a healthy brain diet may help.Just as bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show signs of aging as early as the 20s and 30s. "'Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us have imagined and these processes continue gradually over the years," said Dr. Gary Small, the director of the Center on Aging at the University of California, Los Angeles. "I'm convinced that it is never too early to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program," he added.In his book, "The Memory Bible," the 51-year-old neuroscientist lists what he refers to as the 10 commandments for keeping the brain young. They include training memory, building skills, minimizing stress, mental exercises, brain food and a healthy lifestyle. It's a game plan for keeping brain Cells sparking and neural networks in tip-top shape.“Misplacing your keys a couple of times doesn't mean you should start labeling your cabinets. Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Our brains can fight back," he said.Small provides the weapons for a full-scale attack. According to him, simple memory tests give an indication of what you are up against and tools such as look, snap and connect are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten. “So if you want to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a prominent eyebrow,”said Small. “You associate the first thing that comes to mind. I think of the actor Warren Beatty so I create a mental snapshot of Warren Beatty kissing her brow.”Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works. “Mental exercises could be anything from doing crossword puzzles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or learning a language. It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing", he added.He also recommends physical exercise, a low-fat diet and eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, walnuts and Brazil nuts, and fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (抗氧化剂) including blueberries and onions in addition to reducing stress.57. The “mad moments” in the first paragraph refers to when we __________.A. have some mental problemsB. have lost our important thingsC. don't listen to what our friends tell us to doD. fail to remember what should be remembered58. In this passage, the author mainly tells us that __________.A. everyone can be forgetful sometimes regardless of one's ageB. we can prevent our sound mind from aging with certain methodsC. brain aging starts from the time when we are in our 20s and 30sD. memory loss is a sign that shows we are getting old59. According to this passage, ____________.A. the game plan for keeping brain cells sparking doesn't work for everyoneB. Dr. Small's memory tests can show you what to do about brain agingC. Dr. Small's advice can help us fight brain aging effectivelyD. our brains can reconstruct memories themselves60. In the fifth paragraph, the author mainly__________.A. provides us with the weapons for attacking othersB. introduces the tools that help us fight against memory lossC. tells us about the important things we should never forgetD. explains the facial features useful for us to remember people61. By saying “I think of the actor Warren Beatty so I create .. her brow", Dr. Small is trying to explain how to use the memory tool of _________.A. impressing rapidlyB. minimizing stressC. connecting related thingsD. observing carefully62. According to Dr. Small, ____________________.A. left-handers may start brain aging later than right-handers doB. learning a foreign language does not help to keep our brain from getting oldC. doing crossword puzzles is the best way to keep us from memory lossD. mental exercises plus healthy diet alone cannot keep us from brain agingPassage ThreeThrough the years, our view of what leadership is and who can exercise it has changed considerably. Leadership competencies have remained constant, but our understanding of what it is, how it works, and the ways in which people learn to apply it has shifted. We do have the beginnings of a general theory of leadership, from history and social research and above all from the thoughts of reflective practitioners such as Moses, Julius Caesar, and James Madison, and in our own time from such disparate sources of wisdom as Gandhi, Winston Churchill, Mao Tse-tung, and Henry Kissinger, who have very little in common except that they have not only been there but tried with some fairness to speculate on paper about it.But tales and reflective observation are not enough except to convince us that leaders are physically strong and abnormally hard workers. Today we are a little closer to understanding how and who people lead, but it wasn't easy getting there. Decades of academic analysis have given us more than 350 definitions of leadership. Literally thousands of empirical investigations of leaders have been conducted in the last seventy-five years alone, but no clear understanding exists as to what distinguishes leaders from non-leaders, and perhaps more important, what distinguishes effective leaders from ineffective leaders and effective organizations from ineffective organizations.Never have so many labored so long to say so little. Multiple interpretations of leadership exist, each providing a fragment of insight but each remaining an incomplete and wholly inadequate explanation. Most of these definitions don't agree with each other, and many of them would seem quite remote to the leaders whose skills are being examined. Definitions reflect fashions, political tides and academic trends. They don't always reflect reality and sometimes they just represent nonsense. It's as if what Braque once said about art is also true of leadership: “The only thing that matters in art is the part that cannot be explained.”Many theories of leadership have come and gone. Some looked at the leader. Some looked at the situation. None has stood the test of time. With such a track record, it is understandable why leadership research and theory have been so frustrating as to deserve the label “the La Brea Tar Pits” of organizational inquiry. Located in Los Angeles, these asphalt pits house the remains of a long sequenceof prehistoric animals that came to investigate but never left the area.63. In regard of leadership competencies, the author suggests that people have ________.A. believed in their existenceB. learned to apply them extensivelyC. found it very difficult to acquire themD. been unable to realize their importance64. Several big names are mentioned in the first paragraph mainly to show theirA. different styles of leadershipB. effective exercise of leadershipC. contributions to the theory of leadershipD. wisdom in applying the theory of leadership65. According to the author, people's opinions of leadership are on the whole quite_________.A. dividedB. originalC. misleadingD. sophisticated66. The author thinks that ______________.A. many people have labored to be leadersB. leaders are beyond our understandingC. the essence of leadership has not been graspedD. the definitions of leadership should vary67. “The La Brea Tar Pits” probably signifies things that____________.A. can be traced back to the prehistoric ageB. are traps for those who want to inquireC. are located in one place foreverD. don't deserve full investigation68. This passage is mainly concerned with _______________.A. the inconsistent theories of leadershipB. the famous leaders and their theoriesC. the changes in the trend of leadershipD. the inaccurate definitions of leadershipPassage FourWhen you leave a job with a traditional pension, don't assume you've lost the chance to collect it. You're entitled to whatever benefit you've earned – and you might even be entitled to take it now. "A lot of people forget they have it, or they think that by waiting until they're 65, they'll have a bigger benefit," says Wayne Bogosian, president of the PFE Group, which provides corporate pre-retirement education.Your former employers should send you a certificate that says how much your pension is worth. If it's less than $5,000, or if the company offers a lump-sum payout, it will generally close your account and cash you out. It may not seem like much, but $5,000 invested over 20 years at eight percent interest is $23,000. If your pension is worth more than $5,000, or your company doesn't offer the lump-sum option, find out how much money you're eligible for at the plan's normal retirement age, the earlier age at which you can collect the pension, the more severe penalty for collecting it early. You'll probably still come out ahead by taking the money now and investing it.What if you left a job years ago, and you're realizing you may have unwittingly left behind a pension? Get help from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. It has an online search tool that has helped locate $47 million in lost benefits for more than 12,000 workers.If you have a traditional pension, retiring early costs more than you might expect. Most people assume you take a proportional cut for leaving before your plan's normal retirement age. For example, you might think that if you need to accrue 30 years of service and you leave three years early, you'd get a pension 90 percent of the full amount.But that's not how it works. Instead, you take an actuarial reduction, determined by the employer but often around five percent a year, for each year you leave early. So retiring three years early could leave you with only 85 percent of the total amount.When you retire early with a defined-contribution plan, the problem is you start spending investments on which you could be earning interest. If you retire when you're 55, for example, and start using the traditional pension then, by age 65 you'll have only about half of what you would've had if you'd kept working until 65.69. When one leaves a job with a traditional pension, __________.A. he tends to forget that he has the pensionB. he has no right to ask for the pensionC. he'll have a bigger benefit than if he waits until the age of 65D. he has a specified worth of pension70. If the retiree's pension is less than $5,000, it is wise of him to________.A. ask the company for a lump-sum payoutB. require his former boss to figure out the value of his pensionC. take the pension with him and make a profit out of itD. collect the pension at his retirement plan's normal retirement age71. If one leaves early before his plan's normal retirement age, __________.A. he'll take 90 percent of the total amount of his pensionB. he'll have half of his pension paymentsC. he'll have his pension payment reduced by 5% a yearD. he'll have only 85 percent of his full pension72. If one retires early with a defined-contribution plan, he is expected to_________.A. earn less interestB. be better off than with a traditional pensionC. start investment immediatelyD. get less Social Security benefits73. Which of the following can be used as the subtitle for the last three paragraphs?A. Your Payout Is Not GuaranteedB. The Retirement DilemmaC. Leave Early, Lose BigD. Take the Pension with You74. Which of the following is NOT true?A. If one leaves 3 years early on a 30-year-service basis, he won't get a pension worth 27/30ths.B. It pays to get an early retirement if one understands how retirement pension plan works.C. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation helps the retiree to recover lost benefits.D. If one keeps his expenses within his retirement framework, he won't be severely affected.Passage FiveIn a landmark decision, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled November 23, 1998, in Mainstream Loudown v. Board of Trustees of the Loudown County Library that the use of blocking software to restrict internet access in public libraries is unconstitutional. Despite the library's claims that its actions were justified in the name of “protecting minors from harmful content,” Judge Brinkema ruled that the library could not reduce adult access to standards established for children.“The use of blocking software in libraries offends the guarantee of free speech," she ruled, and “constitutes a prior restraint”on all speech. The Loudown County X-Stop software blocked access to a wide range of websites, including those of Quakers, the conservative Heritage Foundation, and AIDS education groups, as well as information about banned books and safe sex.Relying on Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, Brinkema rejected arguments that the installation of such filtering devices constitutes "a library acquisition decision, to which the First Amendment does not apply." She pointed out that, since the library had originally provided uncensored Internet access and had then taken specific actions to limit it, the situation was analogous to the removal of library materials. The result, she said, was similar to "a collection of encyclopedias from which defendants have laboriously revised portions deemed unfit for library patrons."Although Brinkema's decision will have a major impact on the development of library policies nationwide, there is a crucial underlying problem that cannot be resolved through the legal process. Filtering software is created and produced by private companies that are quite eager and happy to make, all the decisions for us. And by purchasing and installing their products, we are agreeing to let them do just that. It is to these private companies we are surrendering selection and access to the Internet's hugedatabase of electronic information. This means that even the staffs at public libraries have no role in the selection process.The Washington Coalition Against Censorship's new original T-shirt design advocates the only solution we can trust to preserve our First Amendment liberties: “Use your brain: the filter you were born with.”75. The passage is mainly concerned with __________.A. whether it is legal to install computer software in public librariesB. whether libraries have to remove materials they consider harmfulC. what reading materials public libraries should provide to their patronsD. what kind of online services public libraries should offer their readers76. One of the defendant's arguments is that __________.A. the First Amendment does not apply to library purchasing decisionsB. certain materials have to be filtered to protect the ethnic minoritiesC. adults are guaranteed greater freedom to information than childrenD. the library intends to give their readers only healthy information77. Which of the following statements is NOT true of X-Stop software?A. It was purchased from a private commercial company.B. It denied both children and adults access to certain websites.C. It revised a certain portion of the encyclopedias in the library.D. Its installation in a county library was declared illegal by the court.78. Even after the 1998 court decision, the public still have to lace the fundamental problem of _____.A. giving up their freedom of speech on the internetB. having more restricted access to electronic informationC. not allowing the librarians to select reading materials for themD. letting the commercial companies decide what they would read79. The word "'uncensored" in the third paragraph probably means __________.A. freeB. timelyC. beneficialD. restricted80. According to the author, the decision about what is the best to read lies with__________.A. the librariansB. the individual citizensC. the governmentD. the legal courtsPART V TRANSLATION (30 minutes, 20 points)Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)Although the Bush administration has pledged its commitment to have Iraqis run their government on their own, peace and order will be long in coming. On one hand, Saddam remains unaccounted for. On the other hand, surging violence, cases of bloodshed, suicide bombings and people's taking to streets to protest have pledged the U.S. in an embarrassing situation. Recently, President Bush has made some remarks that appear intended to address criticism from the Democratic presidential candidates that top decision-makers failed to anticipate the mounting difficulties lying ahead. It's hoped that the UN can get actively involved in the reconstruction of this war-tom country and play a more positive role in finding a peaceful solution to problems confronting Iraqis.Section B考研的人在英语上花的时间远远多于其他学科，希望英语分数越高越好。

As the name suggests, it blends biology and modern technology through such techniques as genetic engineering. Some of the new biotech companies, as they are called, specialize in agriculture and are working enthusiastically to patent seeds that give a high yield, that resist disease, drought, and frost, and that reduce the need for hazardous chemicals. If such goals could be achieved, it would be most beneficial. But some have raised concerns about genetically engineered crops. "In nature, genetic diversity is created within certain limits," says the book Genetic Engineering, Food, and Our Environment. "A rose can be crossed with a different kind of rose, but a rose will never cross with a potato. Genetic engineering, on the other hand, usually involves taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to transfer a desired property or character. This could mean, for example, selecting a gene which leads to the production of a chemical with antifreeze properties from an arctic fish, and joining it into apotato or strawberry to make it frost-resistant. It is now possible for plants to be engineered with genes taken from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans." In essence, then, biotechnology allows humans to break the genetic walls that separate species.Like the green revolution, what some call the gene revolution contributes to the problem of genetic uniformity--some say even more so because geneticists can employ techniques such as cloning and tissue culture, processes that produce perfectly identical copies, or clones. Concerns about the erosion of biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however, raise new issues, such as the effects that they may have on us and the environment. “We are flying blindly into a new era of agricultural biotechnology with high hopes, few constraints, and little idea of the potential outcomes," said science writer Jeremy Rifkin.51. According to the author, biotech companies are _____________.A. mostly specialized in agricultureB. those producing seeds of better propertiesC. mainly concerned about the genetically engineered cropsD. likely to have big returns in their business52. Now biotech products are made _______.A. within the limits of natural geneticsB. by violating laws of natural geneticsC. without the interference of humansD. safer than those without the use of biotechnology53. In nature, genetic diversity is created __________.A. by mixing different speciesB. within the species itselfC. through natural selectionD. through selection or contest54. Biotechnology has made it possible ___________.A. for us to solve the food shortage problem in the worldB. for plants to be produced with genes of humansC. for humans to assume the cold-resistant propertyD. to grow crops with the taste of farm animals55. According to the author, with the development of biotechnology ________.A. the species of creatures will be reducedB. our living environment will be better than it is nowC. humans will pay for its side effectD. we will suffer from fewer and fewer diseases56. The author's attitude towards genetic engineering can best be described as _________.A. optimisticB. pessimisticC. concernedD. suspiciousPassage TwoThe practice of capital punishment is as old as government itself. For most of history, it has not been considered controversial. Since ancient times most governments have punished a wide variety of crimes by death and have conducted executions as a routine part of the administration of criminal law. However, in the mid-18th century, social critics in Europe began to emphasize the worth of the individual and to criticize government practices they considered unjust, including capital punishment. The controversy and debate over whether governments should utilize the death penalty continue today.The first significant movement to abolish the death penalty began during the era known as the Age of Enlightenment. In 1764 Italian jurist and philosopher Cesare Beccaria published An Essay on Crimes and Punishments. Many consider this influential work the leading document in the early campaign against capital punishment. Other individuals who campaigned against executions during this period include French authors Voltaire and Denis Diderot, British philosophers David Hume and Adam Smith, and political theorist Thomas Paine in the United States.Critics of capital punishment argue that it is cruel and inhumane, while supporters consider it a necessary form of revenge for terrible crimes. Those who advocate the death penalty declare that it is a uniquely effective punishment that prevents crime. However, advocates and opponents of the death penalty dispute the proper interpretation of statistical analyses of its preventing effect. Opponents of capital punishment see the death penalty as a human rights issue involving the proper limits of governmental power. In contrast, those who want governments to continue to execute tend to regard capital punishment as an issue of criminal justice policy. Because of these alternative viewpoints, there is a profound difference of opinion not only about what is the right answer on capital punishment, but also about what type of question is being asked when the death penalty becomesa public issue.57. We can learn from the first paragraph that in ancient times ____________.A. death penalty had been carried out before government came into beingB. people thought it was right for the government to conduct executionsC. death penalty was practiced scarcely in European countriesD. many people considered capital punishment unjust and cruel58. Why was capital punishment questioned in the mid-18th century in Europe?A. People began to criticize their government.B. The government was unjust in this period.C. People began to realize the value of life.D. social critics were very active at that time.59. Italian jurist and philosopher Cesare Beccaria _________.A. was the first person to question the rightness of death penaltyB. was regarded as an important author criticizing capital punishmentC. was the first person who emphasized the worth of the individualsD. first raised the theory against capital punishment60. Critics of capital punishment insist that it ________.A. violates human rights regulationsB. is an ineffective punishment of the criminalsC. is just the revenge for terrible crimesD. involves killing without mercy61. The advocates and opponents of the death penalty_________.A. agree that it is a human rights issueB. agree that it can prevent crimesC. explain its statistical analyses differentlyD. think that they are asked different types of questions62. The author's attitude towards capital punishment can be summarized as _________.A. supportiveB. criticalC. neutralD. contradictoryPassage ThreeBears mostly live alone, except for mothers and their babies, and males and females during mating season. Bears form temporary groups only in exceptional circumstances, when food is plentiful in a small area. Recent evidence also suggests that giant pandas may form small social groups, perhaps because bamboo is more concentrated than the patchy food resources of other bear species. Other bears may live alone but exist in a social network. A male and female may live in an area partly shared in common--although they tolerate each other, each defends its range from other bears of the same sex. Male young usually leave their mothers to live in other areas, but female young often live in a range that is commonly shared with that of their mother.The key to a bear's survival is finding enough food to satisfy the energy demands of its large size. Bears travel over huge territories in search of food, and they remember the details of the landscape they cover. They use their excellent memories to return to locations where they have had success finding food in past years or seasons. Most bears are able to climb trees to chase small animals or gain access to additional plant vegetation. The exceptions are polar bears and large adult brown bears--their heavy weight makes it difficult for them to climb trees.Bears that live in regions with cold winters spend the coldest part of the year asleep in sheltered dens, including brown bears, American and Asiatic black bears, and female polar bears. Pregnant females give birth in the winter in the protected surroundings of these dens. After fattening up during the summer and fall when food is abundant, the bears go into this winter home to conserve energy during the part of the year when food is scarce. Winter sleep differs from hibernation in that a bear is easily aroused from sleep. In addition, a bear's body temperature drops only a few degrees in its winter sleep. In contrast, a true hibernator undergoes more extensive changes in bodily functions. For instance, the body temperature of the Arctic ground squirrel drops from 38°C to as low as -3°C.63. Most bears live alone because _______________.A. they don't want to keep a social networkB. each bear feeds on different kinds of foodC. male and female bears can't tolerate each otherD. they don't want other bears to share their food64. According to the passage, bears of the same sex__________.A. can get along with each other peacefullyB. share their range with each otherC. live in an area partly shared in commonD. cannot live peacefully in the same area65. As is told about bears in the passage, we know that___________.A. it is easy for bears to find enough food if they can climb treesB. a bear can long remember where it has found foodC. all except polar bears are able to climb trees to catch their preyD. all except polar bears and adult brown bears feed on small animals66. Bears sleep in their sheltered dens in cold winter because _____________.A. their babies need to be born in a cold and protected surroundingB. they need to fatten themselves up in the cold seasonC. they need to convert their fat into energy in winterD. they cannot find enough food in the cold season67. Winter sleep differs from hibernation in that_______________.A. animals in hibernation don't wake up easilyB. animals in hibernation are aroused regularly for energy supplyC. the body temperature of animals in winter sleep doesn't changeD. animals in winter sleep experience drastic changes in bodily functions68. The passage is mainly about____________.A. the species of bearsB. the food category of bearsC. the winter sleep of bearsD. the behavior of bearsPassage FourThe young man who came to the door--he was about thirty, perhaps, with a handsome, smiling face---didn't seem to find my lateness offensive, and led me into a large room. On one side of the room sat half a dozen women, all in white; they were much occupied with a beautiful baby, who seemed to belong to the youngest of the women. On the other side of the room sat seven or eight men, young, dressed in dark suits, very much at ease, and very imposing. The sunlight came into the room with the peacefulness that one remembers from rooms in one's early childhood—a sunlight encountered later only in one's dreams. I remember being astounded by the quietness, the ease, the peace, and the taste. I was introduced, they greeted me with a genuine cordiality and respect--and the respect increased my fright, for it meant that they expected something of me that I knew in my heart, for their sakes, I could not give--and we sat down. Elijah Muhammad was not in the room. Conversation was slow, but not as stiff as I had feared it would be. They kept it going, for I simply did not know which subjects I could acceptably bring up. They knew more about me and had read more of what I had written, than I had expected, and I wondered what they made of it all, what they took my usefulness to be. The women were carrying on their own conversation, inlow tones; I gathered that they were not expected to take part in male conversations. A few women kept coming in and out of the room, apparently making preparations for dinner. We, the men, did not plunge deeply into any subject, for, clearly, we were all waiting for the appearance of Elijah. Presently, the men, one by one, left the room and returned. Then I was asked if I would like to wash, and I, too, walked down the hall to the bathroom. Shortly after I came back, we stood up, and Elijah entered. I do not know what I had expected to see. I had read some of his speeches, and had heard fragments of others on the radio and on television, so I associated him with strength. But, no---the man who came into the room was small and slender, really very delicately put together, with a thin face, large warm eyes, and a most winning smile. Something came into the room with him--his worshipers' joy at seeing him, his joy at seeing them. It was the kind of encounter one watches with a smile simply because it is so rare that people enjoy one another.69. Which of the following is the best alternative word for "imposing" (line 6)?A. EnthusiasticB. Hostile C, Impressive D. Anxious70. Which word best describes the atmosphere in the room?A. TranquilB. SolemnC. ChaoticD. Stressful71. How did the author feel when he was greeted with respect?A. DelightedB. AstonishedC. EmbarrassedD. Scared72. Which of the following statements is true about the author?A. He talked little.B. He was puzzled.C. He enjoyed the conversation.D. He got more respect than he deserved.73. The men didn't get deeply involved in any subject because they_______.A. had little knowledgeB. didn't know one another wellC. wanted to relax themselvesD. awaited the arrival of someone important74. What can we learn about Elijah?A. He was admired by others.B. He was very handsome.C. He was a man with determination.D. He was happy to give speeches.Passage FiveSingapore's Mixed Reality Lab is working on new ways of interacting with computers, including wearable devices and a virtual war room that will allow officials to work together online as if they were all in one place. Its director is a spiky-haired Australian, a postmodern match for the fictional British agent James Bond's tool man, Q. It is funded by the Defense Science & Technology Agency, which controls half the $5 billion defense budget, and sponsors hundreds of research projects every year. The agency came to worldwide attention last year when it took just one day to customize a thermal scanner in order to detect travelers with high fever, helping to stem the spread of SARS.DSTA is now working on a range of projects that are attracting attention in both the commercial and military worlds. It devised an air-conditioning system that harnesses melting ice and cool seawater to conserve electricity at the new Changi Naval Base, and could have broad civilian applications.Singapore can easily afford Western hardware, but off-the-shelf products are often unsuitable for the tropical conditions in Southeast Asia. For example, the DSTA is funding development of an anti-chemical-weapons suit that works not as a shield, but as a sort of weapon. The Singaporean garments, made of a revolutionary plastic-like materialthat is much lighter and cooler than traditional fabrics, actually degrade suspect substances on contact.Much of the agency's work is geared toward helping this resource-poor city-state overcome its natural limitations, says its director of R&D, William Lau Yue Khei. Conserving manpower is one of the agency's most critical assignments, because Singapore is a nation of 4 million people dwarfed by larger neighbors, includingIndonesia and Malaysia. Right now, the biggest DSTA project is computerizing a stealth warship so that it can run on half the usual crew. Making equipment lighter is a particular agency specialty, because the universal military rule of thumb is that a soldier should carry no more than one third his body weight, and that means that smaller Singaporean soldiers should carry no more than 24 kilos, or 20 percent less than Europeans, says DSTA project manager Choo Hui Weing. One such program: the Advanced Combat Man System, has produced a lightweight handguard that controls an integrated laser range finder, digital compass and a targeting camera. Top that, Q.75. It can be inferred from the passage that Q is probably__________.A. a mechanic in James Bond's garageB. a fictional Australian with spiky hairC. a director of the Advanced Combat Man SystemD. an imaginary engineer who invents advanced equipment76. Which of the following statements concerning DSTA is NOT true?A. It became world-known for its high efficiency in preventing the SARS spread.B. It funds numerous research programs, including Mixed Reality Lab.C. It devised an air-conditioning system now widely used in households.D. It takes credit for conserving electricity at the new Changi Naval Base.77. The suit described in the third paragraph can be used as a sort of weapon mainly because_________.A. it is made of a new material resembling plasticsB. it can reduce harmful effects of chemicals on itC. it has been adapted to the tropical weather thereD. its light weight allows soldiers to carry more equipment78. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a disadvantage of Singapore?A. Smaller soldiers.B. Smaller population.C. Limited defense budget.D. Limited natural resources.79. The Advance Combat Man System is mentioned in the last paragraph mainly to show_______.A. what DSTA has done to meet the country's special needsB. how sophisticated the equipments designed by DSTA can beC. why it is difficult for Q to compete with Choo Hui WeingD. how Singapore's technology is superior to that of the British80. The main purpose of the passage is to ______________.A. analyze Singapore's defense systemB. summarize the contributions of DSTAC. introduce the technical advantages of a small countryD. describe the roles and achievements of a government agencyPART V TRANSLATION (30 minutes, 20 points)Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)Quitting smoking is more of a matter of willpower than of individual choice, for smoking is widely recognized as addictive. Although counseling and medication can increase the odds that a smoker quits permanently, the best way to avoid dilemmas is never to take up smoking to begin with.The irreversible effects of cigarette smoking vary in intensity and are related both to the amount and duration of exposure and the age at which the person is initially exposed. This report challenges the notion that a few years of exposure to smoking will have no lasting harmful consequences. We hope to discourage this prevalent but vital habit andsuggest that tobacco-related health effects decline substantially as time away from smoking increases.Section B (15 minutes, 10 points)人们越来越意识到开发环保型产品的重要性。

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Living with parents edges out other living arrangements for 18-to 34-year -olds.[A]Broad demographic(人口的) shifts is marital status, educational attainment and employment have transformed the way young adults in the U.S. are living, and a new Pew Research Center analysis highlights the implications of these changes for the most basic element of their lives—where they call home. In 2014, for the first time in more than 130 years, adults ages 18 to 34 were slightly more likely to be living in their parents' home than they were to be living with a spouse or partner in their own household.[B]This turn of events is fueled primarily by the dramatic drop in the share of young Americans who are choosing to settle down romantically before age 35. Dating back to 1880, the most common living arrangement among young adults has been living with a romantic partner, whether a spouse or a significant other.This type of arrangement peaked around 1960, when 62% of the nation's 18-to 34-year -olds were living with a spouse or partner in their own household, and only one-in-five were living with their parents.[C]By 2014, 31.6% of young adults were living with a spouse or partner in their own household, below the share living in the home of their parent(s) (32.1%). Some 14% of young adults lived alone, were a single parent or lived with one or more roommates. The remaining 22% lived in the home of another family member (such as a grandparent, in-law or sibling(兄弟姐妹)), a non-relative, or in group quarters like college dormitories.[D]It's worth noting that the overall share of young adults living with their parents was not at a record high in 2014. This arrangement peaked around 1940, when about 35% of the nation's 18-to 34-year -olds lived with mom and/or dad (compared with 32% in 2014). What has changed, instead, is the relative share adopting different ways of living in early adulthood, with the decline of romantic coupling pushing living at home to the top of a much less uniform list of living arrangements.[E]Among young adults, living arrangements differ significantly by gender. For men ages18 to 34, living at home with mom and/or dad has been the dominant living arrangement since 2009, In 2014, 28% of young men were living with a spouse of partner in their own home, while 35% were living in the home of their parent(s). Young women, however, are still more likely to be living with a spouse of romantic partner (35%) than they are to be living with theirparent(s)(29%).[F]In 2014, more young women (16%) than young men (13%) were heading up a household without a spouse or partner. This is mainly because women aremore likely than men to be single parents living with their children. For their part, young men (25%) are more likely than young women(19%)to be living in the home of another family member, a non-relative or in some type of group quarters.[G]A variety of factors contribute to the long-run increase in the share of young. Adults living with the parents. The first in the postponement of, if not retreat from, marriage. The average age of first marriage has risen steadily for decades. In addition, a growing share of young adult may be avoiding marriage altogether. A previous Pew Research Center analysis projected that asmany as one-in-four of today's young adult may never marry. While cohabitation (同居) has been on the rise, the overall share of young adults either married or living with an unmarried partner has substantially fallen since 1990.[H]In addition, trends in both employment status and wages have likely contributed to the growing share of young adults who are living in the home of their parent(s), and this is especially true of young men. Employed young men are much less likely to live at home than young men without a job, and employment among young men has fallen significantly in recent decades. The share of young men with jobs peaked around 1960 at 84%. In 2014, only 71% of 18-to 34-year-old men were employed. Similarly with earnings, young men's wages (after adjusting for inflation) have been on a downward trajectory (轨迹) since1970 and fell significantly form 2000 to 2010. As wages have fallen ,the share of young men living in the home of their parent(s) has risen.[I]Economic factors seem to explain less of why young adult women are increasingly likely to live at home. Generally, young women have had growing success in the paid labor market since 1960 and hence might increasingly be expected to be a be to afford to afford to live independently of their parents. For women, delayed marriage--which is related, in part, to labor market outcomes for men—may explain more of the increase in their living in the family home.[J]The Great Recession (and modest recovery) has also been associated with an increase in young adults living at home. Initially in the wake of the recession, college enrollments expanded, boosting the ranks of young adults living at home. And given the weak job opportunities facing young adults, living at home was part of the private safety net help young adults to weather the economic storm.[K]Beyond gender, young adult's living arrangements differ considerable by education—which is tied to financial means. For young adults without a bachelor's degree, as of 2008 living at home with their parents was more prevalent than living with a romantic partner. By 2014, 36% of 18-to 34-year-olds who had not completed a bachelor's degree were living with their parent(s) while 27% were living with a spouse or partner. Among college graduates, in 2014 46% were married or living with a partner, and only 19% were living with their parent(s). Young adults with a college degree have fared much better in thelabor market than their less-educated counterparts, which has in turn made it easier to establish their own households.37.Unemployed young men are more likely to live with their parents than the employed.38.In 2014, the percentage of men aged 18 to 34 living with their parents was greater than that of their female counterparts.39.The percentage of young people who are married or live with a partner has greatly decreased in the past three decades or so.40.Around the mid-20th century, only 20 percent of 18- to 34-year-old lived in their parents' home.41.Young adults with a college degree found it easier to live independently of their parents.42.Young men are less likely to end up as single parents than young women.43.More young adult women live with their parents than before due to delayed marriage.44.The percentage of young men who live with their parents has grown due to their decreased pay in recent decades.45.The rise in the number of college students made more young adults live with their parents.46.One reason for young adults to live with their parents is that get married lateor stay single all their lives.Part Ⅲ Reading Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A、B、C、and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.According to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom. And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying they're stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, it's not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets.It's also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey pointto this as akey barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women's family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate (选民) and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.Asa result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it's only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.47.What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew Research Center survey?A.They have to do more to distinguish themselves.B.They have to strive harder to win their positions.C.They are stronger than men in terms of willpower.D.They are just as intelligent and innovative as men.48.What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?A.They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success.B.They are lacking in confidence when competing with men.C.Their failures may have something to do with family duties.D.Relatively few are hindered in their career advancement.49.What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to the recent survey?A.Personality traits.B.Family responsibilities.C.Gender bias.ck of vacancies.50.What does the passage say about corporate America in the near future?A.More and more women will sit in the boardroom.B.Gender imbalance in leadership is likely to change.C.The public is undecided about whether women will make good leaders.D.People have opposing opinions as to whether it will have more women leaders.51.What do most Americans expect to see soon on America's political stage?A.A woman in the highest position of government.B.More and more women actively engaged in politics.C.A majority of women voting for a female president.D.As many women in top government positions as men.Passage TwoQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up bymore than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining. 16.5cm. A global studylooked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014.The results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5 cm. Larvian women. Meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm.James Bentham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, says the global trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition a nd healthcare. "An individual’s genetics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less keyrole," he added.A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. "Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy," he said. "This is largely due to a lower risk of dying of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease among taller people."But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Riboli. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend hasreversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds."One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the1980s," said Alexander Moradi of the Universith of Sussex. The nutritional and health crises that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential interms of height.Bentham believe the global trend of increasing height has important implications."How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in," he said. "If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come."52.What does the global study tell us about people's height in the last hundred years?A.There is a remarkable difference across continents.B.There has been a marked increase in most countries.C.The increase in people’s height has been quickening.D.The increase in women’s height is bigger than in men's.53.What does James Bentham say about genetics in the increase of people's height?A.It counts less than generally thought.B.It outweighs nutrition and healthcare.C.It impacts more on an individual than on population.D.It plays a more significant role in females than in males.54.What does Elio Riboli say about taller people?A.They tend to live longer.B.They enjoy an easier life.C.They generally risk fewer fatal diseases.D.They have greater expectations in life.55.What do we learn about 18-year-olds in Uganda and Niger?A.They grow up slower than their peers in other countries.B.They are actually shorter than their earlier generations.C.They find it hard to bring their potential into full play.D.They have experienced many changes of government56.What does James Bentham suggest we do?A.Watch closely the global trend in children's development.B.Make sure that our children grow up to their full height.C.Try every means possible to improve our environment.D.Ensure our children grow up in an ideal environment.Part IVTranslation舞狮作为中国传统民间表演已有2000多年历史。

And only a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods, or out in nature. There, they keep other creatures in check, distribute seed s, and clean dead and decaying materials from the ground. A very small p ercentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incredibly challengi ng to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house. Liv e in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thou sands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in, and h ard to kick out. Once they settle in, these insects start affecting your hom e. In addition to barging ants, other species can cause different kinds of damage. Some, like carpenter ants, can undermine a home structure, w hile others interfere with the electrical units. Unfortunately, our homes ar e very attractive to ants, because it provides everything the colony need s to survive, such as food, water, and shelter.So, how can we prevent a nts from getting into our homes? Most important of all, avoid giving ants a ny access to food, particularly sugary food because ants have a sweet too th. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur and store food i n air-tight containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty your trash as often as possible. And store your outside garbage in a lidded can, while a way from doors and windows.16. What does the passage say about ants?A) They help farmers keep diseases incheck.B) Many species remain unknown toscientists.C) Only a few species cause trouble tohumans.D) They live in incredibly well-organizedcolonies.17. What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants?A) They are larger than many other species.B) They can cause damage to people’s homes.C) They can survive a long time withoutwater.D) They like to form colonies in electricalunits.18. What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?A) Deny them access to any food.B) Keep doors and windows shut.C) Destroy their colonies close by.D) Refrain from eating sugary food.Passage 2My research focus is on what happens to our immune system as we age. So the job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us f rom viruses and from autoimmune diseases. We know that as we get olde r, it's easier for us to get infections. So older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence that our immune system really doesn't functi on so well when we age. In most of our work, when we were looking at ol der adults who've got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a great group of volunteers called the One T housand Elders, these volunteers are all 65 or over but in good health. Th ey come to the university to provide us with blood samples to be interview ed and to help us to carry out a whole range of research. The real impact of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment, we ar e living much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at 2 years for every de cade, that means an extra 5 hours a day. I want to make sure that older a dults are still able to enjoy their old age, and that they are not spending time in hospital with infections, feeling unwell and being generally weak. W e want people to be healthy even when they are old.19. What is the focus of the speaker’s research?A) The function of the human immune system.B) The cause of various auto-immunediseases.C) The viruses that may infect the humanimmune system.D) The chan ge in people’s immune system asthey get older.20. What are the volunteers asked to do in the research?A) Report their illnesses.B) Offer blood samples.C) Act as research assistants.D) Help to interview patients.21. What does the speaker say will be the impact of his research?A) Strengthening people’s immunity to infection.B) Better understanding patients’ immunesystem.C) Helping improve old people’s healthconditions.D) Further reducing old patients’ medicalexpenses.Passage 3When Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at Kilip Elementary, he didn't know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect wit h students, he noticed a couple of days after school that a group of kid wo uld get together to play chess."I know how to play chess, let me go and show these kids how to do it," h e said.
