Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Many witnesses concerning the Chinese have told the truth,but perhapsa few of them have succeeded in telling nothing but the truth,and no one of(21)them has ever told the whole truth.No single individual,whatever the extentof his knowledge,could by any possible know the whole truth about the(22)Chinese.The difficulty of comparing Chinese with Anglo-Saxons will be more(23)strongly felt by those who have attempted.To such it will soon become(24)evident that many things which seem“characteristic”of the Chinese aremerely Oriental traits;but in what extent this is true,each reader in the(25)light of his own experience must judge by himself.(26) It has been said that in the present stage of our intercourse with Chinesethere are three ways in which we can come to some knowledge of theirsocial life—by the study of their novels,their ballads,and their plays.Eachof these sources of information doubtless have its worth,but there is likewise(27)a fourth,more valuable than all of them combining,a source not open to every(28)one who wrote on China and the Chinese.It is the study of the family life of(29)the Chinese in their own homes.As the topography of a district can be muchbetter understood in the country than the city,so it is with the characteristics(30)of the people.A foreigner may live in a Chinese city for a decade,and not gainas much knowledge of the interior life of the people as he can acquire by livingtwelve months in a Chinese village.Part II.Reading Comprehension(50%)Section A(30%)Directions:There are2passages 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 write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions31to39are based on the following passage.My Views on GamblingMost of life is a gamble.Very many of the things we do involve taking some risk in order to achieve a satisfactory result.We undertake a new job with no idea of the more indirect consequences of our action. Marriage is certainly a gamble and so is the bringing into existence of children,who could prove sad liabilities.A journey,a business transaction,even a chance remark may result immediately or ultimately in tragedy.Perpetually we gamble—against life,destiny,chance,the unknown—call the invisible opponent what we will.Human survival and progress indicate that usually we win.So the gambling instinct must be an elemental one.Taking risks achieve something is a characteristic of all form of life,including humanity.As soon as man acquired property,the challenge he habitually issued to destiny found an additional expression in a human contest.Early may well have staked his flint axe,his bearskin,his wife,in the hope of adding to his possessions.The acquirement of desirable but non-essential commodities must have increased his scope enormously,while the risk of complete disaster lessened.So long as man was gambling against destiny,the odds were usually in his favor,especially when he used common sense.But as the methods of gambling multiplied,the chances of success decreased.A wager against one person offered on average even chances and no third party profited by the transaction.But as soon as commercialized city life developed,mass gambling become common.Thousands of people now compete for large prizes,but with only minute chances of success,while the organizers of gambling concerns enjoy big profits with,in some cases,no risk at all.Few clients of the betting shops,football pools, state lotteries,bingo sessions,even charity raffles,realize fully the flimsiness of their chances and the fact that without fantastic luck they are certain to lose rather than gain.Little irreparable harm results for the normal individual.That big business profits from the satisfaction of a human instinct is a common enough phenomenon.The average wage-earner,who leads a colorless existence,devotes a small percentage of his earnings to keeping alive with extraordinary constancy the dream of achieving some magic change in his life.Gambling is in most cases a non-toxic drug against boredom and apathy and many well preserve good temper,patience and optimism in dreary circumstances.A sudden windfall may unbalance a weaker,less intelligent person and even ruin his life.And the lure of something for nothing as an ideal evokes criticism from the more rigidly upright representative of the community.But few of us have the right to condemn as few of us can say we never gamble—even it is only investing a few pence a week in the firm’s football sweep or the church bazaar“lucky dip”.Trouble develops,however,when any human instinct or appetite becomes overdeveloped.Moderate drinking produces few harmful effects but drunkenness and alcoholism can have terrible consequences. With an unlucky combination of temperament and circumstances,gambling can only become an obsession, almost a form of insanity,resulting in the loss not only of a man’s property but of his self-respect and his conscience.Far worse are the sufferings of his dependents,deprived of material comfort and condemned to watching his deterioration and hopelessness.They share none of his feverish excitement or the exhilaration of his rare success.The fact that he does not with to be cured makes psychological treatment of the gambling addict almost impossible.He will use any means,including stealing,to enable him to carry on.It might be possible to pay what salary he can earn to his wife for the family maintenance but this is clearly no solution.Nothing—education,home environment,other interest,wise discouragement—is likely to restrain the obsessed gambler and even when it is he alone who suffers the consequences,his disease is a cruel one,resulting in a wasted,unhappy life.Even in the case of the more physically harmful of human indulgences,repressive legislation often increase the damage by causing more vicious activities designed to perpetuate the indulgence in secret.On the whole,though negative,gambling is no vice within reasonable limits.It would still exist in an ideal society.The most we can hope for is control over exaggerated profits resulting from its business exploitation,far more attention and research devoted to the unhappy gambling addict and the type of education which will encourage an interest in so many other constructive activities that gambling itself will lose its fascination as an opiate to a dreary existence.It could be regarded as an occasional mildly exciting game,never to be taken very seriously.31.According to the author,we gamble regardless of the risk,because weA.want to survive.ually win in the gamble.C.don’t know the indirect consequences of the action.D.wish to achieve what may bring us satisfaction.32.The bringing into existence of children is also a gamble because they mayA.be mentally retarded.B.become our disappointment.C.go against us.D.become our opponents.33.According to the passage,we all take risk in gambling because we areA.born with the tendency of taking risks.B.forced to achieve satisfactory result.C.obliged to achieve what we desire.D.born with the nature of achieving satisfaction.34.The gambling instinct,according to the author,is reinforced by human’s desire toA.give up unnecessary property.B.add more to their material possession.C.get desirable commodities.D.change their living conditions.35.Which of the following is true?A.If we dare to gamble,we will usually win.B.If we use common sense to gamble,we will usually lose.C.The luck is usually on our side so long as we have the confidence to change our fate.D.We all have the luck to win the gamble if we use common sense.36.Which of the following is true?A.The more methods to gamble,the fewer the chances to succeed.mon sense plays a role in a gamble.C.The more methods there are,the less profit we will make.D.The more methods there are,the more chances for us to win a gamble.37.Who get profits from gambling activities with no risks?A.Those who organize the activities.B.Those who often go to state lotteries.C.Those who often go to football pools.D.Those who do not take so seriously.38.Many people would like to give away a small sum of money because they constantly think the donation mayA.not affect their general income.B.bring them unexpected big sums of money.C.help them preserve their temper and patience.D.bring them some pennies from heaven.39.According to the author,gambling may lose its fascination if weA.create more chances.B.do not take it so seriously.anize more other activities.D.help develop an interest in other activities.Passage TwoQuestions40to45are based on the following passage.Russia’s new revolution in conservationWhen naturalist Sergei Smirenski set out to create Russia’s first private nature reserve since the Bolshvik revolution,he knew that the greatest obstacle would be overcoming bureaucratic resistance.The Moscow State University professor has charted a steep course through a variety of foes,from local wildlife service officials who covet his funding to government officials who saw more value in development than conservation.But with incredible dedication,and the support of a wide range of international donors form Japan to the United States,the Murovyovka Nature Reserve has finally come into being.Founded at a small ceremony last summer,the private reserve covers11000acres of pristine wetlands along the banks of the Amur River in the Russian Far East.Here,amid forests and marshes encompassing a variety of microhabitats,nest some of the world’s rarest birds—tall,elegant cranes whose numbers are counted in the mere hundreds.The creation of the park marks a new approach to nature conservation in Russia,one that combines traditional methods of protection with an attempt to adapt to the changing economic and political circumstances of the new Russia.“There must be a thousand ways to save a wetland.It is time for vision and risk,and also hard practicality,”wrote Jim Harris,deputy director of the International Crane Foundation,a Wisconsin-based organization dedicated to the study and preservation of cranes,which has been a major supporter of the Murovyovka project.Dr.Smirenski’s vision has been eminently down to earth.At every step,he has tried to involve local officials,businessmen and collective farms in the project,giving them a practical,economic stakes in its success.And with international support,he is trying to introduce new methods of organic farming that will be more compatible with preserving the wetlands.40.The Murovyovka Nature Reserve came into being because ofA.Russian government officials.B.the International Crane Foundation.C.the determination of one man.D.an unrealistic dream.41.If one“charts a steep uphill course”(paragraph2),oneA.expects an arduous journey.B.maps out a mountain trip.C.assumes that life will be uneventful.D.sets himself a difficult goal.42.The preserved“pristine wetlands”mentioned in paragraph3areA.unspoiled.B.precious.C.immaculate.D.uncontaminated.43.The passage states that the Nature Reserve isA.an arid,uninhabited area.B.the only reserve in Russia.C.home to many different birds.D.economically beneficial to local inhabitants.44.The passage implies that the preservation of wetlandsA.can only be accomplished with traditional methods.B.requires imagination,daring and pragmatism.C.is usually a popular concern of politicians.D.limits an area’s development.45.Where is the headquarter of the International Crane Foundation?A.MoscowB.JapanC.WisconsinD.MurovyovkaSection B:Cloze(20%)Please fill in blanks46to65of the following passage.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.An important factor of leadership is attraction.This does not mean attractiveness in the ordinary sense, for that is a born quality46our control.The leader has,nevertheless,to be a magnet;a central figure towards whom people are47.Magnetism in that sense depends,first of all,48being seen.There is a type of authority which can be49from behind closed doors,but that is not leadership. 50there is movement and action,the true leaders is in the forefront and may seem,indeed,to be everywhere at once.He has to become a legend;the51for anecdotes,whether true or52,character. One of the simplest devices is to be absent53the occasion when the leader might be54to be there, enough in itself to start a rumor about the vital business55has detained him.To56up for this,he can appear when least expected,giving rise to another story about the interest he can display57things which other folks might58as trivial.With this gift for59curiosity the leader always combines a reluctance to talk about himself.His interest is60in other people he questions them and encourages them to talk and then remembers all 61is relevant.He never leaves a party62he has mentally filed a minimum dossier(档案)on63 present,ensuring that he knows64to say when he meets them again.He is not artificially extrovert but he would usually rather listen65talk.Others realize gradually that his importance needs no proof。

following passage.For each blank there are four choices marked[A]，[B]，[C]and[D].You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.（每小题1分，共20小题，共20分）According to BT's futurologist,Ian Pearson,these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of1,000years),when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.Pearson has__1__together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a__2__millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key__3__and discoveries to take place.Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine,including an__4__life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs__5__into use between now and2040.Pearson also__6__a breakthrough in computer human links.“By linking__7__to our nervous system,computers could pick up__8__we feel and,hopefully,simulate__9__too so that we can start to__10__full sensory environments,rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,”he says.But that,Pearson points__11__,is only the start of man-machine__12__:“It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will__13__lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.”__14__his research,Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted.However,there are still no__15__for when faster-than-light travel will be__16__,or when human cloning will be perfected,or when time travel will be possible.But he does__17__social problems

But do the British actually work too long?And if we do,is it doing us,or society at large,anyharm?Over the past150years working hours across the developed world have been falling.In the mid-nineteenth century men in Britain,in paid employment,worked for at least55hours per week.Hours worked then began a steady drop--the rise of trade unionism is one explanation,but then,after the First World War they plateaued.From1951onwards they dropped again but this fall was brought to a sudden halt in1981with the onset of the deregulatory economic policies of the Thatcher years.Working hours reached a high in1997 when the UK average number of hours worked hit45.8per week,falling to44.3hours per week in2004.The main reason for this recent decline has been the impact of EU's Working Time Directive which stipulated that no one could work more than48hours in a week,unless special exemption had been jointly applied for by both employers and employees. Nonetheless,in European terms,we are still doing badly in terms of hours worked--British workers are at the top,or bottom,of the hours charts,depending on your point of view.In 2004British workers put in almost two and a half hours more per week than the average European worker--although that was an improvement on2001when the gap was three and a quarter hours.In terms of actual hours worked,for those fortunate enough to be living and working in the Netherlands the average was just38.8hours a week,whilst for those unfortunate enough to be working in Britain,the average was43.5hours.Workers in our closest European competitors,France and Germany,worked38.9hours and39.6hours per week respectively. And yet,according to research both French and German workers are around20%more productive than their British counterparts.And we do equally badly when it comes to holidays. The European average for annual paid leave is26.5days per year--again the UK is near the bottom of the league with an average of24.5days of annual leave.However,these raw figures don't tell the whole story.During the1980s and1990s it was fashionable to predict that the"revolution in work"had begun.Business gurus were forecasting that the then current work norm,in which the majority of the workforce were in full-time employment at places of work away from home would give way to the majority having portfolios of part-time,temporary jobs,with many working either from home or from mobile office environments.This would result in a blurring between work and home,leisure, and employment--thus concerns about hours worked would become little more than of historical interest.This view is backed up by Michael Moynagh in Working in the Twenty-First Century. After examining trends in working time over the past twenty years,and casting their findings forward,they conclude:"On balance it is likely that contracted working time will continue to drop,if slowly and intermittently".According to the research project"The Future of Work"led by Professor Peter Nolan of Leeds University,the notion that the nature of work is changing radically is systematically demolished.Based on a nationwide survey of employees Professor Nolan reports that the project found that,contrary to this conventional wisdom,the"end of work"scenario had not come to pass. In fact the1990s had seen a growth,not a contraction,in the proportion of employees in full-time permanent jobs.In2000,92%of workers were in permanent work compared with88%eight years earlier.And in2000only5.5%said they were working on a temporary contract,compared with7.2%in1992."Such startling figures do not suggest Britain is rapidly developing a more flexible labour market when measured by the extent of employment stability.Indeed,the permanent job remains very much the overwhelming norm and this is true across every occupational category."Nor was the notion of"going to work"in decline.The researchers found that most people still leave their homes for paid employment,only3%of employees said they worked partly at home and a further1.1%said they worked solely or mainly at home.Thus,arguments about working time are still very central to debates about the nature of the work experience.The Future of Work survey found that dissatisfaction with the hours that people were having to work had increased dramatically.In199235%of men were satisfied with their hours,by2000this had fallen to20%;the decline among women employees was even sharper,down from51%in1992to29%in2000.And this decline was,in terms of social class,across the board.Professor Jonathan Gershuny is an expert on the work-life balance.He paid particular attention,not just to paid work but to two related issues--women's unpaid work and leisure time.Gershuny notes how leisure time itself has become increasingly congested as people have less and less time to"consume"more and more leisure.He quotes from American sociologist Steffan Linder,who noted that as part and parcel of their"success"the harried executive might buy themselves a yacht;and yet the time they make available to enjoy their leisure activities diminishes the more successful they become.Gershuny paints a picture of the harried executive having to plan their leisure time almost as rigorously as they plan their working day.He also casts his eye over the unpaid work that is mainly done by women in the home.He notes how,despite the spread of"labour-saving"devices,the time women spend on domestic chores had not reduced,if anything it had gone up.This is because,as domestic work has become easier so"standards"have risen--rooms that were swept once a week are now swept once a day and meals that were cooked simply to be nourishing now had to be"interesting"as well.Gershuny reports that women on average spend45-hours a week on unpaid domestic work;but where they had a full-time job this time went down to22hours a week.For men, his research showed that irrespective of whether or not they were in full-time work they spent an underwhelming30minutes a day on domestic chores.No doubt many of those same men would privately applaud the sentiments expressed in a Japanese research report that concluded: "Housewives by nature enjoy doing housework.For housewives,it is difficult to distinguish between housework and leisure."Then again,perhaps not,as times have moved on somewhat.Questions1-4Choose the best answer.1.Which statement best describes the change of British working hours?A.Over the past150years,British working hours fluctuated by as long as10hours.B.British workers worked3hours longer every week than their European counterparts in2001.C.British workers worked longer than French and German workers with higherproductivity.D.British workers have the least annual paid leave.2.What does the sentence"thus concerns about hours worked would become little more than of historical interest"imply?A.Since there is no wild change in British working hours,the forecasting of work norm lostmeaning.B.There is no point in concerning about working hours since it is hard to separateemployment and leisure.C.The notion that the nature of work has changed is not right.D.The end of work scenario makes research impossible.3.What can we see from the research findings of Michael Moynagh and Peter Nolan?A.They agreed that in the future,contracted working time will decrease.B.They agreed that more British would like to work from mobile office environments.C.They have different conclusions and forecasts about British working time.D.Both are against conventional wisdom that the end of work has come.4.Professor Jonathan Gershuny notes that______.A.men take over most housework when women are in full-time workB.people work harder in free time to consume what they produce in work timeC.if you are top managers,you have more leisure time availableD.women spend less time on domestic chores latelyQuestions5-9Answer the following questions briefly by using NO MORE THAN TEN words.5.What is the result of working from home or mobile office environments?6.What are the percentages of people working partly at home and solely at home respectively?7.What is the dominant working norm?8.Which phrase expresses the meaning that both managers and manual workers complain about the long hours culture?9.What is one of the two issues that Professor Jonathan Gershuny paid special attention to.Questions10-12Complete the following sentences with NO MORE THAN THREE words.10.According to the Future of Work survey,women are______________________dissatisfied with their working hours.11.The more successful people are,the_____________________time they have to enjoythemselves.12.The appearance of_____________________actually increased time of doing domesticchores.PASSAGE TWOAlready penitent for his angry action,but too stubborn to make amends,Mason toiled on at the head of the cavalcade,little dreaming that danger hovered in the air.The timber clustered thick in the sheltered bottom,and through this they threaded their way.Fifty feet or more from the trail towered a lofty pine.For generations it had stood there,and for generations destiny had had this one end in view--perhaps the same had been decreed ofMason.He stooped to fasten the loosened thong of his moccasin.The sleds came to a halt,and the dogs lay down in the snow without a whimper.The stillness was weird;not a breath rustled the frost-encrusted forest;the cold and silence of outer space had chilled the heart and smote the trembling lips of nature.A sigh pulsed through the air--they did not seem to actually hear it,but rather felt it,like the premonition of movement in a motionless void.Then the great tree,burdened with its weight of years and snow,played its last part in the tragedy of life.He heard the warning crash and attempted to spring up but,almost erect,caught the blow squarely on the shoulder.The sudden danger,the quick death--how often had Malemute Kid faced it!The pine needles were still quivering as he gave his commands and sprang into action.Nor did the Indian girl faint or raise her voice in idle wailing,as might many of her white sisters.At his order,she threw her weight on the end of a quickly extemporized handspike,easing the pressure and listening to her husband's groans,while Malemute Kid attacked the tree with his ax.The steel rang merrily as it bit into the frozen trunk,each stroke being accompanied by a forced,audible respiration,the'Huh!''Huh!'of the woodsman.At last the Kid laid the pitiable thing that was once a man in the snow.But worse than his comrade's pain was the dumb anguish in the woman's face，the blended look of hopeful，hopeless query.Little was said；those of the Northland are early taught the futility of words and the inestimable value of deeds. With the temperature at sixty-five below zero，a man cannot lie many minutes in the snow and live.So the sled lashings were cut，and the sufferer，rolled in furs，laid on a couch of boughs. Before him roared a fire，built of the very wood which wrought the mishap.Behind and partially over him was stretched the primitive fly--a piece of canvas，which caught the radiating heat and threw it back and down upon him--a trick which men may know who study physics at the fount.And men who have shared their bed with death know when the call is sounded.Mason was terribly crushed.The most cursory examination revealed it.His right arm，leg，and back were broken；his limbs were paralyzed from the hips；and the likelihood of internal injuries was large.An occasional moan was his only sign of life.No hope；nothing to be done.The pitiless night crept slowly by--Ruth's portion，the despairing stoicism of her race，and Malemute Kid adding new lines to his face of bronze.In fact，Mason suffered least of all，for he spent his time in eastern Tennessee，in the Great Smoky Mountains，living over the scenes of his childhood.And most pathetic was the melody of his long-forgotten Southern vernacular，as he raved of swimming holes and coon-hunts and watermelon raids.It was as Greek to Ruth，but the Kid understood and felt--felt as only one can feel who has been shut out for years from all that civilization means.Morning brought consciousness to the stricken man，and Malemute Kid bent closer to catch his whispers.“You remember when we foregathered on the Tanana，four years come next ice run?I didn't care so much for her then.It was more like she was pretty，and there was a smack of excitement about it，I think.But d'ye know，I've come to think a heap of her.She's been a good wife to me，always at my shoulder in the pinch.And when it comes to trading，you know there isn't her equal.D'ye recollect the time she shot the Moosehorn Rapids to pull you and me off that rock，the bullets whipping the water like hailstones--and the time of the famine atNuklukyeto--or when she raced the ice-run to bring the news？Yes，she's been a good wife to me，better'n that other one.Didn't know I'd been there？Never told you，eh?Well，I tried it once，down in the States.That's why I'm here.Been raised together，too.I came away to give her a chance for divorce.She got it.”“But that's got nothing to do with Ruth.I had thought of cleaning up and pulling for the Outside next year--her and I--but it's too late.Don't send her back to her people，Kid.It's beastly hard for a woman to go back.Think of it!--nearly four years on our bacon and beans and flour and dried fruit，and then to go back to her fish and caribou.It's not good for her to have tried our ways，to come to know they're better'n her people's，and then return to them. Take care of her，Kid--why don't you--but no，you always fought shy of them--and you never told me why you came to this country.Be kind to her，and send her back to the States as soon as you can.But fix it so she can come back--liable to get homesick，you know.”“And the youngster--it's drawn us closer，Kid.I only hope it is a boy.Think of it--flesh of my flesh，Kid.He mustn't stop in this country.And if it's a girl，why，she can't.Sell my furs；they'll fetch at least five thousand，and I've got as much more with the company.And handle my interests with yours.I think that bench claim will show up.See that he gets a good schooling；and Kid，above all，don't let him come back.This country was not made for white men.”“I'm a gone man，Kid.Three or four sleeps at the best.You've got to go on.You must go on!Remember，it's my wife，it's my boy--O God!I hope it's a boy!You can't stay by me--and I charge you，a dying man，to pull on.”Questions13-15Choose the best answer.13.What is NOT true about Mason’s accident?A.He was struck by an old pine on the shoulder and crushed.B.It was possible his organs had been injured in addition to broken bones.C.He suffered a great deal as he lay waiting for death.D.He was laid on some branches by a great fire in an attempt to recover.14.What do we know about Mason’s wife according to the text?A.She is white like him.B.She is not Mason’s only spouse in life.C.She has been to his hometown.D.She understands Greek.15.What is implied about the character’s lives from the passage?A.Sleds were the main method of transportation.B.The major source of income was fur trading.C.They had to be calm and resourceful in the wild.D.The far north is not suitable for white people.Questions16-17Answer the following questions briefly by using NO MORE THAN TEN words.16.Why does Mason think Ruth is a good wife?17.What was“fly”in paragraph3used for?PASSAGE THREENature versus cultureTo what extent have indigenous peoples suffered at the hands of conservation?When US primatologist Dian Fossey arrived in Rwanda to study the mountain gorillas of the Parcs des Volcans in September1967,her immediate concern was that their habitat was being eroded by human activity.As the government and wildlife authorities were turning a blind eye,she took the law into her own hands and organised patrols to drive out those she considered to be intruders in the park.Many of those targeted were local farmers who were grazing cattle and growing crops, collecting water,wood and bamboo or hunting small mammals.But the Virunga Mountains were also home to the Batwa,pygmy hunter-gatherers who,for thousands of years,had lived on their forested slopes.Fossey took an instant dislike to the Batwa and adopted-vigilante tactics to ensure they stayed away from"her"gorillas.While Fossey's actions represented a huge inconvenience for the Bahutu and Batutsi farmers,for the Batwa they proved devastating.The forest was integral to their lifestyle:it provided them with food and medicine and was the centre of their cultural activities.Without it,they became destitute.They had neither the skills nor the resources to become farmers and were given no compensation or alternative.Considered second-class citizens--unclean, stupid,untrustworthy--by their neighbours,they were forced to live in hovels on the fringes of villages,scratching around in wasteland to eke out a living.By the early1990s,begging was the main source of income for70per cent of Rwandan Batwa.The experience of the Batwa is one shared by millions of indigenous peoples around the world who have suffered at the hands of conservation."Historically the impact of protected areas has been very negative because the rights of the local communities of indigenous peoples haven't been taken into account,"says Marcus Colchester,director of the Forest Peoples'Programme,a UK organisation that promotes the interests of indigenous peoples around the world."The establishment of parks and reserves has often required their forced removal and placed severe limits on their rights of access and use of natural resources.Hence, there has been a lot of conflict,impoverishment,suffering and cultural loss."The traditional fence-and-guards approach to conservation grew out of the US national parks movement of the late19th century,which began preserving areas of'natural'wilderness for recreational purposes.Ecologists subsequently decided that nature should be preserved in a pristine form,uncontaminated by human activity.Over the past40years,conservation of biodiversity has become an increasingly high-profile topic and there has been a corresponding rise in the number of protected areas. According to the World Conservation Union(IUCN)there were just over1,000in1962; today there are more than102,000,covering a terrestrial area of17.1million square kilometres,11.5per cent of the world's land.To date,there hasn't been any conclusive research into the extent to which establishing these areas affects indigenous peoples.But most protected areas were inhabited at one time. In2000,WWF estimated that86per cent of South America's national parks were inhabited by people,most of them indigenous,and90per cent of protected areas in the Americas as a whole hosted indigenous peoples.However,it isn't just the indigenous peoples who have lost out to the traditional model of。

Reading Comprehension: (80 points)Directions:The following two passages are 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 write down the letter on your answer sheet. Passage 1. (10 points, 2 points each)The standardized educational or psychological tests, that are widely used to aid in selecting, classifying, assigning, or promoting students, employees, and military personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books, magazines, the daily press, and even in Congress. The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests, critics turn attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools, with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified condition. Whether the results will be valuable, meaningless, or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user.All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance. How well the predictions will be supported by later performance de-ends upon the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error.Standardized tests should be considered in this context. They provide a quick, objective method of getting some kinds of information about what a person has learned, the skills he has developed, or the kind of person he is the information so obtained has, qualitatively, the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information. Whether to use tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the evidence from experience, and upon such factors as cost and availability.1. What is the author's attitude towards standardized tests?a. Negativeb. Positivec. Slightly criticald. Both a and b2. Why is the target of attacks considered to be wrong?a.

They provide good quality informationd. They may be partly incorrectPassage 2 (10 points, 2 points for each)When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn’t alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey:”I can’t think of a single search I’ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are, but that’s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people who’ve been hurt the worst are those who’ve stayed too long.”6. When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as beingA. arrogant.B. frank.C. self-centered.D. impulsive.7. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives’ quitting may be spurred byA. their expectation of better financial status.B. their need to reflect on their private life.C. their strained relations with the boards.D. their pursuit of new career goals.8. The word “poached” (Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably meansA. approved of.B. attended to.C. hunted for.D. guarded against.9. It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatA. top performers used to cling to their posts.B. loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated.C. top performers care more about reputations.D. it’s safer to stick to the traditional rules.10. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.CEOs: Where to Go?B.CEOs: All the Way Up?C. Top Managers Jump without a NetD. The Only Way Out for Top PerformersPassage 3Read the following passages carefully and then explain in your own English the exact meaning of the numbered and underlined parts.(30 points, 3 points for each)(1) Being angry increases the risk of injury, especially among men, new research says. The researchers gathered data on more than 2,400 accident victims at three Missouri hospitals. They interviewed each subject to determine the patient’s emotional state just before the injury and 24 hours earlier, gathering data on whether the patients felt irritable, angry or hostile, and to what degree. Then they compared the results with a control group of uninjured people.(2) Despite widespread belief in “road rage,” anger did not correlate with injuries from traffic accidents. (3) Not surprisingly, anger was strongly associated with injuries inflicted deliberately. But other injuries – those neither intentionally inflicted nor from falls or traffic accidents – also showed strong associations with anger.(4) The correlations were significantly weaker for women than for men, but there were no differences by race. The authors acknowledge that their data depend on self-reports, which are not always reliable.(5) Why anger correlates with injury is not known. “I can speculate that the anger may have prompted some behavior that led to the injury, or may have simply distracted the person, leading indirectly to the injury,” said the study’s lead author. (6) It is useful to remember that history is to the nation as memory is to the individual. As persons deprived of memory become disoriented and lost, not knowing where they have been and where they are going, so a nation denied a conception of the past will be disabled in dealing with its present and its future.Passage 4Read the following passages carefully and then explain in your own English the exact meaning of the numbered and underlined parts.(30 points, 3 points for each)History is the best antidote to delusions of omnipotence and omniscience. (7) Self-knowledge is the indispensable prelude to self-control, for the nation as well as for the individual. History should forever remind us of the limits of our passing perspectives. It should strengthen us to resist the pressure to convert momentary impulses into moral absolutes. It should lead us to recognition of the fact, so often and so sadly displayed, that the future outwits all our certitudes and that the possibilities of the future are more various than the human intellect is designed to conceive.(8) A nation informed by a vivid understanding of the ironies of history is best equipped to manage the tragic temptations of military power. Let us not bully our way through life, but let a sensitivity to history temper and civilize our use of power. In the meantime, let a thousand historical flowers bloom. (9) History is never a closed book or a final verdict. It is forever in the interests of an ideology, a religion, a race, and a nation.The great strength of history is its capacity for self-correction. This is the endless excitement of historical writing: the search to reconstruct what went before. (10) A nation’s history must be both the guide and the domain not so much of its historians as its citizens.III. General knowledge (20 points,)A.

For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.C-E (15 points)一个可能的应对方式（解决办法）是古典音乐表演者发明有吸引力的从唱片上听不到的曲子。

For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Department Store MagicFor most of the 20th century Smithson's was one of Britain's most successful department stores, but by the mid-1990s, it had become dull. 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's first woman Chief Executive three years ago. Since then, while most major retailers in 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 store is 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 turnover at 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, thevery 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 electromagnetic field 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 con cern is understandable. There is hardly a unit of the modern militarythat 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 kind ofelectronic equipment.C. the Pentagon’s conc ern 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 field that thecells 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 securityin thinking that somewhere there was a product, something you could touch and see. Now thereare 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 upbecause 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 asset that grows with use,” observes Stanford University Professor Paul Romer. But what exactly is knowledge and h ow can it be packaged to trade on an open market? “Knowledge is experiential information, intelligence applied thorough and gained from 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 be worth 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 represent one of the most original uses of the web technology. In some corner of the globe there is a company wanting to source plastic widgets from Poland, and somewhere else another company that wishes to set up a plastics factory there. It’s simply a case of connecting the two. is a good example of a knowledge trader. It is targeted at food service managers throughout the hospitality indu stry. “We started with the context rather than extracting money from suppliers,” explains founder Mike Day, “we offer food service professionals interactive support to increase sales and profits. People don’t want another one-dimensional site full of adver tising 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 training and 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 ?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.

Each indicated line contains a maximum of ONE error. In each case, only ONE word is involved. You should proofread the passage and correct it.Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Many witnesses concerning the Chinese have told the truth, but perhapsa few of them have succeeded in telling nothing but the truth, and no one of(21)them has ever told the whole truth. No single individual, whatever the extentof his knowledge, could by any possible know the whole truth about the (22)Chinese.The difficulty of comparing Chinese with Anglo-Saxons will be more (23)strongly felt by those who have attempted. To such it will soon become (24)evident that many things which seem “characteristic” of the Chinese aremerely Oriental traits; but in what extent this is true, each reader in the(25)light of his own experience must judge by himself. (26)It has been said that in the present stage of our intercourse with Chinesethere are three ways in which we can come to some knowledge of theirsocial life—by the study of their novels, their ballads, and their plays. Eachof these sources of information doubtless have its worth, but there is likewise(27)a fourth, more valuable than all of them combining, a source not open to every(28)one who wrote on China and the Chinese. It is the study of the family life of(29)the Chinese in their own homes. As the topography of a district can be muchbetter understood in the country than the city, so it is with the characteristics(30)of the people. A foreigner may live in a Chinese city for a decade, and not gainas much knowledge of the interior life of the people as he can acquire by livingtwelve months in a Chinese village.Part II.Reading Comprehension (50 %)Section A (30 %)Directions: 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 write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 39 are based on the following passage.My Views on GamblingMost of life is a gamble. Very many of the things we do involve taking some risk in order to achieve a satisfactory result. We undertake a new job with no idea of the more indirect consequences of our action. Marriage is certainly a gamble and so is the bringing into existence of children, who could prove sad liabilities.A journey, a business transaction, even a chance remark may result immediately or ultimately in tragedy. Perpetually we gamble—against life, destiny, chance, the unknown—call the invisible opponent what we will. Human survival and progress indicate that usually we win.So the gambling instinct must be an elemental one. Taking risks achieve something is a characteristic of all form of life, including humanity. As soon as man acquired property, the challenge he habitually issued to destiny found an additional expression in a human contest. Early may well have staked his flint axe, his bearskin, his wife, in the hope of adding to his possessions. The acquirement of desirable but non-essential commodities must have increased his scope enormously, while the risk of complete disaster lessened.So long as man was gambling against destiny, the odds were usually in his favor, especially when he used common sense. But as the methods of gambling multiplied, the chances of success decreased. A wager against one person offered on average even chances and no third party profited by the transaction. But as soon as commercialized city life developed, mass gambling become common. Thousands of people now compete for large prizes, but with only minute chances of success, while the organizers of gambling concerns enjoy big profits with, in some cases, no riskat all. Few clients of the betting shops, football pools, state lotteries, bingo sessions, even charity raffles, realize fully the flimsiness of their chances and the fact that without fantastic luck they are certain to lose rather than gain.Little irreparable harm results for the normal individual. That big business profits from the satisfaction of a human instinct is a common enough phenomenon. The average wage-earner, who leads a colorless existence, devotes a small percentage of his earnings to keeping alive with extraordinary constancy the dream of achieving some magic change in his life. Gambling is in most cases a non-toxic drug against boredom and apathy and many well preserve good temper, patience and optimism in dreary circumstances. A sudden windfall may unbalance a weaker, less intelligent person and even ruin his life. And the lure of something for nothing as an ideal evokes criticism from the more rigidly upright representative of the community. But few of us have the right to condemn as few of us can say we never gamble—even it is only investing a few pence a week in the firm’s football sweep or the church bazaar “lucky dip”.Trouble develops, however, when any human instinct or appetite becomes overdeveloped. Moderate drinking produces few harmful effects but drunkenness and alcoholism can have terrible consequences. With an unlucky combination of temperament and circumstances, gambling can only become an obsession, almost a form of insanity, resulting in the loss not only of a man’s property but of his self-respect and his conscience. Far worse are the sufferings of his dependents, deprived of material comfort and condemned to watching his deterioration and hopelessness. They share none of his feverish excitement or the exhilaration of his rare success. The fact that he does not with to be cured makes psychological treatment of the gambling addict almost impossible. He will use any means, including stealing, to enable him to carry on. It might be possible to pay what salary he can earn to his wife for the family maintenance but this is clearly no solution. Nothing—education, home environment, other interest, wise discouragement—is likely to restrain the obsessed gambler and even when it is he alone who suffers the consequences , his disease is a cruel one, resulting in a wasted, unhappy life.Even in the case of the more physically harmful of human indulgences, repressive legislation often increase the damage by causing more vicious activities designed to perpetuate the indulgence in secret. On the whole, thoughnegative, gambling is no vice within reasonable limits. It would still exist in an ideal society. The most we can hope for is control over exaggerated profits resulting from its business exploitation, far more attention and research devoted to the unhappy gambling addict and the type of education which will encourage an interest in so many other constructive activities that gambling itself will lose its fascination as an opiate to a dreary existence. It could be regarded as an occasional mildly exciting game, never to be taken very seriously.31.According to the author, we gamble regardless of the risk, because weA.want to survive.ually win in the gamble.C.don’t know the indirect consequences of the action.D.wish to achieve what may bring us satisfaction.32.The bringing into existence of children is also a gamble because they mayA. be mentally retarded.B. become our disappointment.C. go against us.D. become our opponents.33.According to the passage, we all take risk in gambling because we areA.born with the tendency of taking risks.B.forced to achieve satisfactory result.C.obliged to achieve what we desire.D.born with the nature of achieving satisfaction.34.The gambling instinct, according to the author, is reinforced by human’s desiretoA.give up unnecessary property.B.add more to their material possession.C.get desirable commodities.D.change their living conditions.35.Which of the following is true?A.If we dare to gamble, we will usually win.B.If we use common sense to gamble, we will usually lose.C.The luck is usually on our side so long as we have the confidence to changeour fate.D.We all have the luck to win the gamble if we use common sense.36.Which of the following is true?A.The more methods to gamble, the fewer the chances to succeed.mon sense plays a role in a gamble.C.The more methods there are, the less profit we will make.D.The more methods there are, the more chances for us to win a gamble.37.Who get profits from gambling activities with no risks?A.Those who organize the activities.B.Those who often go to state lotteries.C.Those who often go to football pools.D.Those who do not take so seriously.38.M any people would like to give away a small sum of money because they constantly think the donation mayA.not affect their general income.B.bring them unexpected big sums of money.C.help them preserve their temper and patience.D.bring them some pennies from heaven.39.According to the author, gambling may lose its fascination if weA.create more chances.B.do not take it so seriously.anize more other activities.D.help develop an interest in other activities.Passage TwoQuestions 40 to 45 are based on the following passage.Russia’s new revolution in conservationWhen naturalist Sergei Smirenski set out to create Russia’s first private nature reserve since the Bolshvik revolution, he knew that the greatest obstacle would be overcoming bureaucratic resistance.The Moscow State University professor has charted a steep course through a variety of foes, from local wildlife service officials who covet his funding to government officials who saw more value in development than conservation. But with incredible dedication, and the support of a wide range of international donors form Japan to the United States, the Murovyovka Nature Reserve has finally come into being.Founded at a small ceremony last summer, the private reserve covers 11000 acres of pristine wetlands along the banks of the Amur River in the Russian Far East. Here, amid forests and marshes encompassing a variety of microhabitats, nest some of the world’s rarest birds—tall, elegant cranes whose numbers are counted in the mere hundreds.The creation of the park marks a new approach to nature conservation in Russia, one that combines traditional methods of protection with an attempt to adapt to the changing economic and political circumstances of the new Russia.“There must be a thousand ways to save a wetland. It is time for vision and risk, and also hard practicality,” wrote Jim Harris, deputy director of the International Crane Foundation, a Wisconsin-based organization dedicated to the study and preservation of cranes, which has been a major supporter of the Murovyovka project.Dr. Smirenski’s vision has been eminently down to earth. At every step, he has tried to involve local officials, businessmen and collective farms in the project, giving them a practical, economic stakes in its success. And with international support, he is trying to introduce new methods of organic farming that will be more compatible with preserving the wetlands.40.The Murovyovka Nature Reserve came into being because ofA.Russian government officials.B.the International Crane Foundation.C.the determination of one man.D.an unrealistic dream.41.I f one “charts a steep uphill course” (paragraph 2), oneA.expects an arduous journey.B.maps out a mountain trip.C.assumes that life will be uneventful.D.sets himself a difficult goal.42.The preserved “pristine wetlands” mentioned in paragraph 3 areA. unspoiled.B. precious.C. immaculate.D. uncontaminated.43.The passage states that the Nature Reserve isA.an arid, uninhabited area.B.the only reserve in Russia.C.home to many different birds.D.economically beneficial to local inhabitants.44.The passage implies that the preservation of wetlandsA.can only be accomplished with traditional methods.B.requires imagination, daring and pragmatism.C. is usually a popular concern of politicians.D. limits an area’s development.45. Where is the headquarter of the International Crane Foundation?A. MoscowB. JapanC. WisconsinD. MurovyovkaSection B: Cloze (20 %)Please fill in blanks 46 to 65 of the following passage. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.An important factor of leadership is attraction. This does not mean attractiveness in the ordinary sense,for that is a born quality 46 our control. The leader has, nevertheless, to be a magnet; a central figure towards whom people are 47 . Magnetism in that sense depends, first of all, 48 being seen.There is a type of authority which can be 49 from behind closed doors, but that is not leadership.50 there is movement and action, the true leaders is in the forefront and may seem, indeed, to be everywhere at once. He has to become a legend; the 51 for anecdotes, whether true or 52 , character.One of the simplest devices is to be absent 53 the occasion when the leader might be 54 to be there,enough in itself to start a rumor about the vital business 55 has detained him. To 56 up for this, he can appear when least expected, giving rise to another story about the interest he can display57 thingswhich other folks might 58 as trivial.With this gift for 59 curiosity the leader always combines a reluctance to talk about himself. His interest is 60 in other people he questions them and encourages them to talk and then remembers all61 is relevant. He never leaves a party 62 he has mentally filed a minimum dossier ( 档案) on 63 present, ensuring that he knows 64 to say when he meets them again. He is not artificially extrovert buthe would usually rather listen 65 talk. Others realize gradually that his importance needs no proof。

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
