Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Some of the most memorable scenes in films have revolved around money. Think of Michael Douglas 1 (declare) "Greed is good" in Wall Street , Leonardo DiCaprio"s share scares in The Wolf of Wall Street and, most memorably, Jimmy Stewart"s des 2 attempts to save his local bank in It"s A Wonderful Life .That Hollywood"s portrayal of finance tends towards the caricature is hardly surprising; its portrayal of most things tends towards the caricature. A realistic 3 (depict) of a day on a bank-trading desk, or the life of the typical fund manager, would not make for gripping viewing.A more pertinent criticism is that Hollywood"s approach towards finance, indeed—towards capitalism in general, is almostrelentlessly negative. Stewart"s banker may be the hero of It"s a Wonderful Life but his heroism stems from his opposition to the rapacious Mr. Potter . In Trading Places , we applaud 4 Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd make a killing in the orange-juice futures market, but only because the result is the ruin of the villainous Duke Brothers. Generally, the role of businessmen and financiers in films is aspantomime villains, ruthlessly pursuing profit at the 5 of human life. In The Poseidon Adventure , the actor Fred Sad-off, playing the shipowner"s 6 (represent), forces the captain to proceed at full speed without taking on extra ballast so the ship can meet its deadline; the result is that the ship capsizes when hit by a tidal wave. In Rollerball , the public"s hero-worship of James Caan"s sports star poses a threat to the power of the corporate elite, who scheme to have him 7 (kill). In " The Constant Gardener ", anactivist played by Rachel Weisz is killed by the **pany whose dangerous drug-testing she is trying to expose.Even where the central character is involved in finance or business, the standard film plot has the protagonist learn that monetary rewards pale **pared with the simple pleasures of life. Richard Gere"s corporate raider is 8 (soft) by Julia Roberts (playing a classic "tart-with-a-heart") in Pretty Woman , as Citizen Kane Orson Welles dies alone, in a vast stately home full of the trophies of su 9 , still pining for the sled that represented the happiness of his childhood. The new film Steve Jobs , about the late head of Apple, depicts the tech guru as an emotionally warped man who 10 far too much time fixated on the wrong things, such as computers, instead of his daughter. Despite his remarkable success and genius for innovation, the man is redeemed only when he finally recognizes that the most important job of all may be to be a dad.SSS_FILL1.SSS_FILL2.SSS_FILL3.SSS_FILL4.SSS_FILL5.SSS_FILL6.SSS_FILL7.SSS_FILL8.SSS_FILL9.SSS_FILL10.Part Ⅳ Reading ComperhensionThere are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Section AIt seemed normal when Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son wanted to play chess with his parents. However, it was unusual when he revealed that he already knew how to play—before anyone taught him. Apparently the two-year-old had learned all of the rules by watching his parents. By age 4, he **peting in national tournaments. By age 12, he wasVietnam"s youngest champion.Another two-year-old child, Jay Greenberg, likewise surprised his parents by drawing pictures of musical instruments that he had never seen. They soon discovered that Jay "heard music in his head." He began to compose music at age 3. By age 10, he was attending the prestigious Julliard Conservatory in New York, composing full symphonies. Jay was noted not only for the quality of his musical work, but also the speed at which he was able to produce it. That is, while talented **posers normally write five or six symphonies in a lifetime, Jay wrote five by the age of 12.Child prodigies such as these are a mystery to experts and non-experts alike. On the one hand, they attract praise and attention from everyone they meet; on the other hand, they attract criticismand they find it difficult to fit in with the rest of the world. Child prodigies are highly intelligent, but this is not the only factor that sets them apart. They are considered prodigies because of their exceptional ability in one domain, or area. Experts define prodigy as "a young child who displays mastery of field that is usually undertaken by adults." Child prodigies usually appear in structured areas such as language, math, drawing, chess, and music. They are not as likely to appear in less structured domains such as medicine, law, or creative writing, areas that require experience. Child prodigies can focus their attention for long periods of time, concentrating on tasks that would bore other children of the same age. Two-year-old Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son had the concentration to play chess for hours at a time. The distinction of "prodigy" thus goes beyond mere intelligence. For explanations, experts look in two directions: nature, the child"s unique biology, and nurture, the child"s environment.When researchers look to nature to explain child prodigies, they study innate or inborn qualities. For example, they look at whether the brain structure of a prodigy is different from that of a child with average intelligence. Technology is a great help on answering this question. For instance, scientists utilize imaging technology to see the amount of activity in different parts of the brain. These brain scans reveal that the frontal lobe of a prodigy"s brain is very active, unlike children with average intelligence doing the same tasks. Their frontal lobes are virtually inactive. Scientists have proven that the frontal lobe of the brain controls many aspects of thought and concentration. This may explain how prodigies can focus on a task, **plex problems, and learn quickly.When researchers look to nurture to explain child prodigies, they focus on the child"s environment instead of the child"s biology. The most important factor on the nurture side is the parents. Raising a child prodigy is extremely challenging. It requires considerable patience, creativity, and resourcefulness.Some parents are delighted by the extraordinary abilities of their children. They make use of all the resources they have or can find to support them. For example, Jay Greenberg"s parents bought their 2-year-old son a cello when he requested it and arranged for music lessons.Other parents are not so supportive of their child prodigy. On the contrary, some parents even see their offspring"s gifts as a way to draw attention to themselves and their own interests. Boris Sidis,for example, was a well-known scientist with strong opinions about making the most of one"s intelligence and about raising children. When his son Billy was born, Boris saw the child as an opportunity totest his theories.When people are unusual, they attract attention. In the case of child prodigies, the attention they receive is both positive and negative. It is positive because most people admire intelligence. It is negative because prodigies are very different from other people. They are a challenge for teachers, who expect 7-year-olds to prefer Batman to Beethoven. They are a challenge to parents, who want to help them but often lack the resources or find their needs and desiresdifficult to understand and meet. They present a challenge to scientists, who want to study them without further isolating them from normal society. And they challenge the world because they reveal the tendency that people have to reject those who are different from the norm.Mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.SSS_JUDGEMENT1.Jay Greenberg wrote symphonies very quickly because he utilized the help of talented **posers.正确错误SSS_JUDGEMENT2.The factors that seem to be presented in a child prodigy are 1) an unusually high intelligence and 2) the ability to master one area, such as music or math.正确错误SSS_JUDGEMENT3.Child prodigies sometimes select areas of interest that they did not learn from their parents or acquire from their environment. This supports the explanation of nurture.正确错误SSS_JUDGEMENT4.All of the parents mentioned in the passage provided their children with both educational and physical resources.正确错误SSS_JUDGEMENT5.According to the passage, people with normal intelligence present fewer challenges to society and are more easily accepted.正确错误Section BRead the following passage. Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 61—65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.For most of human history, "business" was done one to one—people traded goods and services with each other individually, as families,or as small tribal groups.1 They were farmers, tailors, laborers, soldiers. They exchangedtheir goods or services for everything else they needed. Regions started to specialize in a few types of goods and services **menced regular trading with other regions. Societies created currency, which allowed people to sell their work for money and then use that money to buy the work of others. Urban areas grew and business practices expanded. Eventually, several tradespeople joined together to make one larger business enterprise—a company.In the mid 16th century, the Muscovy Company had a monopoly on trade routes from England to Russia—the only way to ship things between England and Russia was to pay Muscovy. In 1555, it became the first joint-**pany. A joint-**pany is one in which investors give money to help a company expand operations. They then receive a portion of the profit that **pany makes. The investors own stock in **pany.Muscovy"s success inspired many imitators. Joint-**panies soonstarted to multiply. 2In the 1670s, the English East India Co. became the **pany to offer many different types of products and services, and to have parallel operations in many countries at the same time—the firstmultinational corporation. It reached the height of its power in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The East India Co. even became a military force. It occupied nations and created its own currency. It monopolized trade between East and West in tea, opium, and gunpowder.3 It dominated the U. S. oil industry. People said that Standard Oil was a monopoly and that this was wrong. Rockefeller defended **pany: "We were all in a sinking ship if competition continued." For Rockefeller, monopolies were good. Competition **panies from growing large enough to provide certain services society needed. Some public utilities (electricity, water, trash removal) still operate as monopolies. This allows local government to control and monitor the quality of these services on behalf of the people using them.4 In the early part of the 20th century, companies needed to compete with each other to attract customers. This meant that people had more choices about what they bought. Price went down and quality went up. General Motors (GM) executive Alfred Sloan adopted a policy thatcorresponded to these changes in the marketable and people"s expectations. He declared in 1924 that **pany would have "a car for every purse and purpose." GM would put the customer first, not**pany. This "customer-first" principle changed the automotive industry, and made GM one of the most successful businesses in the United States.5 In the 1970s, trader Michael Milken started working with "junk bonds". These were high-risk investments that had the potential to increase many times in value. The possibility of high returns in a small investment induced thousands and thousands of people to buy junk bonds. Milken became rich and famous. Soon, however, most of these high risk investments failed. Investors lost millions of dollars. In 1989, Milken went to jail for fraud, for tricking people into buying something that was actually worthless.A. Most of them wanted to control trade routes from Europe to the New World.B. For most business, however, Rockefeller"s ideas **petition proved to be wrong.C. Business in the new millennium is changing yet again.D. Finding workers with the right educational background, work experience, and language skills can also be very difficult.E. As time went on and societies formed, people began to specialize, to devote their time and energy to one type of work.F. As more and **panies expanded into corporations in the 1950s and 60s, people found new ways to make money from successful, and unsuccessful, businesses.G. By the 1870s, many corporations had become strong and powerful. John D. Rockefeller, for example, built the Standard Oil Company into a huge, super-efficient corporation.SSS_FILL1.SSS_FILL2.SSS_FILL3.SSS_FILL4.SSS_FILL5.Section CEvery year, new roller coasters are built that are bigger, faster, and wilder than ever. Tower rides are dropping us farther. Flat rides are spinning us with unimaginable new twists. It all seemed like good clean fun until June 2,2001. A 28-year-old woman was found unconscious after a three-minute ride on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The Los Angeles County coroner attributed her death to a pre-existing condition. The woman had a brain aneurysm that could have broken atany time.Rather than calm people, the coroner"s ruling created a controversy that may continue for years to come. The death was one of fifteen fatalities or serious brain injuries that had occurred over the prior ten years among otherwise healthy people who had just taken thrillrides.By the tens of thousands, children and adults line up for thrill rides in amusement parks around the world. These rides are designed to provide the extreme physical sensations you just don"t get walking down the street. To find out whether riders need to be as fit as jet pilots to handle the thrills, popular mechanics asked one of the people best qualified to answer, Captain David L. Steinhister. He isa flight surgeon for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. "We fly visiting media representatives, who are everyday people, in our jets and subject them to g-forces in excess of those found on roller coasters. We have not had any instances of brain trauma," Steinhister said. "As flier, we train to handle and tolerate the heavy g-forces, as high as nine g"s. Our visitors will experience sustained g-forces of more than twice the forces found on a roller coaster with no lasting ill effect." But Steinhister adds that they always screen these people prior to flights to be sure they"re healthy. Would Air Force-style preflight medical screening have saved any of those who died soon after coaster rides? That will remain a matter of speculation, but it does raise the question of whether moreregulations are needed on thrill rides. The amusement industry doesn"t think so, and the scientific evidence that exists appears toconcur.The latest evidence to support the amusement industry"s positionappeared in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Neurotrauma . University of Pennsylvania scientists Dr. Douglas H. Smith and David F. Meaney coauthored the article, "G-force, Roller Coaster and Brain Trauma: On the Wrong Track?" Smith is a brain trauma researcher who studies the effects of automobile crashes. Meaney is a bioengineerwho studies brain trauma."According to our data," says Smith, "it"s unlikely that amusement rides cause brain injuries." The team took g-force data from three high-g-force roller coasters and input the data into a mathematical model for head accelerations. They **pared the results to known thresholds for various types of head injuries. They found that the highest head accelerations from roller coaster rides were far below the minimum thresholds for other types of injuries.U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) statistics support Smith and Meaney"s results. While injuries and occasional fatalities do occur, they are primarily a result of a ride malfunction or from rider horseplay.Statistically, amusement parks are still one of the safest places to have fun. According to the most recent data provided by the CPSC and the National Sporting Goods Association, in the year 2000 there were far fewer emergency room treated injuries per 1000 visits at amusement parks than there were for many other recreational activities. In that year, the CPSC estimates, there were 6, 594 emergency room-treated injuries related to amusement park rides. Most of those were minor. In comparison, each year an estimated 20,000 people are treated for injuries sustained at music concerts. And about 200,000 school children visit emergency rooms for injuries sustained on a playground.The low incidence of injury on rides is credited largely to one organization. Since 1978, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTW) has worked with numerous members of the U. S. amusement industry to draft standards and regulations for rider safety. The manufacturers and the ASTM also obtain and analyze data on g-force. They use this data to revise the design and construction of rides.One important aspect of their work has to do with the relationship between g-force and the height and speed of the coasters. The surprising fact is that there is no relationship. G-forces are created by how tightly one changes direction while in motion. When a roller coaster train goes faster, it also goes through a larger radius turn in order to maintain the same g-force as a slower train roiling through a tighter curve. And so, even though advances in。
