After working in an estate agent's office for a while he moved to London as a young man (1876), where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic in the eighties and nineties and became a prominent member of the Fabian Society, for which he composed many pamphlets. He began his literary career as a novelist; as a fervent advocate of the new theatre of Ibsen (The Quintessence of Ibsenism, 1891) he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage. His earliest dramas were called appropriately Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898). Among these, Widower's Houses and Mrs. Warren's Profession savagely attack social hypocrisy, while in plays such as Arms and the Man and The Man of Destiny the criticism is less fierce. Shaw's radical rationalism, his utter disregard of conventions, his keen dialectic interest and verbal wit often turn the stage into a forum of ideas, and nowhere more openly than in the famous discourses on the Life Force, «Don Juan in Hell», the third act of the dramatization of woman's love chase of man, Man and Superman (1903).2.

Read the following passages and answer the Questions A 5-34 (30 points) and B 35-44 (20 points):(A) Tuition Reform for Higher EducationChinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year ’s figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State —financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self —paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short —term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year, only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidies from their work units. Some colleges have also set up work —study programs to benefit students with financial difficultiesGuidelines concerning self —paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self —paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self —paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public.

Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.It’s hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a strugglebetween two fruit distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalating their battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to phony science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing ‘level even if playing fields,’ torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn’t drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe’s banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for ‘a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.’ In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don’t like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs ‘saved’by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawley agricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight.

Read the following passage and answer Questions 45-49 (20 points):The Rich Get Richer and ElectedBy Steven V. RobertsSpecial to The New York TimesWASHINGTON, Sept. 23 – The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being “the people’s House,” has been turning into a rich man’s club.The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based one the members’ financial reports.Behind this remarkable a swing, the study says, are two main factors: a court decision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mount successful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.“The lower chamber is going upper class,”said Mark Green, the president of The Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. “But this evolution from a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.”The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York’s 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.Of Assets and MillionairesMembers of Congress must report their assets in broad categories, not exact numbers, so the figures in the study are not precise. But the minimum average wealth of the 43lawmakers first elected last year was $251,292. Six years earlier, the 74 new members reported an average of only $41,358 in assets. With inflation figured in, the increase was almost 400 percent in real terms.Moreover, financial data on the class of 1978 indicated only one millionaire, William F. Clinger Jr., a Pennsylvania Republican. Last year’s newcomers included 15 possible millionaires, more than a third of the entire group. Topping the list was Joseph J. Dioguardi, a Westchester Republican, who listed assets of $1 million to $2.46 million.The main reason for the change, Mr. Green maintains, is the Supreme Court decision of 1976 in the case of Buckley V. Valeo. In that case, the Court ruled that limits mandated by Congress on the amount a candidate could give to his or her own campaign were an unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights. At the same time, the Court upheld limits on amounts contributed by outsiders.“Quite naturally”, Mr. Green said, “this puts a premium on personal wealth.The 43 Representatives newly elected in 1984 spent an average of $459,344; of that, $50,329 was their own money in an average case. Eight of the 43 spent more than $100,000 in personal funds but the clear leader was Tommy F. Robinson, an Arkansas Democrat, who contributed $441, 167 to his own campaign. Mr. DioGuardi was next with a personal donation of $210,000.The Senate Puts an even higher premium on wealth. Last year the average candidate for the Senate spent $2 million, and the roster of millionaires in the Senate is steadily growing.The second factor putting a premium on personal wealth, Mr. Green argues, is the rapid rise of political action committees. They tend to favor incumbents with their campaign contributions, and a result, Mr. Green says, is that it takes a wealthy challenger to make a race of things.One apparent effect is the obstacle this poses for women who run for Congress. While women in rapidly rising numbers are capturing local and state offices, their representation on the national level has stayed static. The class of 1984 included only two women: Helen D. Bentley of Maryland and Jan Meyers of Kansas, both Republicans.“It is largely men who control wealth in America,” Mr. Green said, “and if wealth is a major variable in political success, that automatically means more men will run and win.”Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, the public affairs lobby that studies campaign financing issues, summed up the situation this way: “Today, if you’re not personally wealthy, and you’re not willing to indebt yourself to the PAC’s, you face an uphill struggle just to get your message on the table.The authors of the study argue that some form of public financing for campaigns should be instituted. “Competition for public office should be based more upon merit than money,” asserted Gene Karpinski, executive director of the public interest research group.Mr. Wertheimer argues that “members of Congress know they have a national scandal on their hands” and are willing to consider public financing, or at least a total limit on PAC contributions. But the chances for change in the current system remain decidedly poor.Obviously the current occupants of Capitol Hill have kept their seats under the present rules, which clearly favor incumbents. Accordingly, Mr. Green maintains, Congress is still probably “several scandals away” from a serious push to change the campaign system. (From The New York Times, September 24, 1985)45. Why has the House of Representatives been changing into a rich man’s club or aHouse of Lords?46. In what way did the Court decision favor the wealthy candidates?47. Are women far behind men in getting Congressional offices? Please give anexample for your answer.48. What role do political action committees play in a campaign for public office?49. According to the author of the study, on what basis should the political race for public office be placed?IV. Translate the following into Chinese (20%):How to negotiateThe US is an attractive market. Its business culture, which has brought the world “shareholder value” and “IPOs”, has been leading commercial thinking in recent years and will continue to do so. But whoever wants to succeed in the US needs to remember the rules of the game.US business is described by the lyrics of the song New York, New York: “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!” Yet a euphoric approach to business is by no means enough. Although business communication in the US is pleasant and easygoing, it is at the same time ruthlessly focused.Communicating is natural talent of Americans. When negotiating partners meet, the emphasis is on small talk and smiling. There is liberal use of a sense of humour that is more direct than it is in the UK. If you give a talk in America, you should speak in a relaxed way and with plenty of jokes to capture your audience’s attention.英文报刊选读课程试卷答案(B)本试卷（闭卷）适用于考试日期：试卷所需时间：120分钟；试卷总分：100分。

If you enjoy watching exciting competition, which program would you like to choose?A. She’s My Family.B. Two Days One Night.C. The Amazing Race in China.COne can’t discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin, one of the four arts — along with go, calligraphy(书法) and painting. It first appeared over 3,000 years ago and stands for China’s solo musical instrument tradition.At first, the guqin had only five strings(弦), meaning the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later in Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.Ambience was important in playing the guqin. Usually, it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a small river in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes from the mountains made the musician feel he was at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a nice activity for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing guqin. Wang Wei, a talented poet of the Tang Dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.Guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandback.Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly dropped to only one hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产) in 2003.26. How many strings did the guqin have when the King Wen of Zhou ruled the country?A. Five.B. Six.C. Seven.27. Where is probably a right place to play guqin according to the passage?A. At a pop singer’s concert.B. At a welcome party.C. By a river in the mountain.28. What does the underlined word “ambience” mean in Paragraph Three?A. The wonderful instrument.B. The environment around.C. The weather condition.29. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Chess, calligraphy, painting and the guqin are the four arts of ancient China.B. It may take Wang Wei over 20 minutes to play Guangling Verse in a bamboo forest.C. The guqin masters can choose a piece to play from several thousand pieces now.30. In which magazine can we probably read the passage?A. The Sound of Music.B. National Geographic.C. Taste of Home.DHow did you feel on the last day of a term? Perhaps you were excited about a coming holiday, or enjoyed it because you needn’t get up early. No matter how you felt, you probably weren’t bored. However, you may also feel bored as the weeks pass by. This feeling may make you feel upset, but it can actually be good for you.When you feel bored, your brain is simply trying to find something to make its nerves(神经) active which scientists call stimulation(刺激). If it can’t find stimulation, for example, by watching television, your mind will look inside. That’s when you daydream or you find your mind “wandering”. Scientists have found that daydreaming gives your brain the space to solve problems and work through things that are on your mind. It can also improve imagination, ideas and creativity.Sandi Mann, a psychology(心理学) teacher who has written a book called The Science of Boredom, believes that everyone should accept feeling bored. According to her research, “People who are bored are more creative.” Mann also says that accepting boredom means you can hardly feel bored, “because the more new and exciting things we experience, the more we want, so we become less acceptable for the boring things.”Learning how to accept and deal with boredom is important but it can also be hard. Many people find boredom an uncomfortable feeling. That’s OK — with practice, you can learn to “sit with” that feeling and use it to find fun and meaningful activities to do. There’s also a difference between feeling bored from time to time, which we all do, and feeling uninterested in things over a long period, which means something wrong with you. If that happens, talk to a trusted person who will be able to help you.31. How would you feel as weeks pass by in your holiday?A. Excited.B. Bored.C. Lonely.32. Which is NOT our brain’s activity?A. We will never feel bored.B. We will be in a daydream.C. Our brain will find stimulation.33. What does the underlined word “wandering” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. 走神B. 沉迷C. 观察34. According to Paragraph 3, what would Sandi Mann agree with?A. A man who is more creative will never become bored.B. Accepting boredom means someone will get bored easily.C. A man who has wonderful experiences hardly accepts boredom.35. What’s the main idea of this text?A. Good ways of how to have an exciting holiday.B. How to improve imagination, ideas and creativity.C. The advantages of boredom and ways to know about it.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Yet because most of usare so busy juggling work and family commitments, we tend to neglect the things that don'trequire immediate attention. Some day, we think, we'll take care of the three essentials --retirement savings, insurance coverage and estate planning. Unfortunately, emergencies canstrike and then it's too late. "Failure to plan is a huge mistake," Barbara Raasch, managingdirector at Wealth and Tax Advisory Services, Inc., told us.[B]How can you avoid the "should have, could have, would have" scenario? By puttingthese three items at the top of your "to do" list -- protect your future, protect your family andprotect your legacy(遗产).Protect Your Future[C] The national savings rate averaged around 0.4% for the first half of this year, according to the U.S.Department of Commerce, meaning Americans spent a whopping 99.6% of their after-tax earnings. Evenmore frightening, in July the savings rate dropped below zero. We all know we should save more. But with somany goals to save for -- a house, the kids' college tuition, your retirement, occasional vacations and a smallemergency fund -- it's easy to feel there's just not enough money to do it all.[D] Budget. The first step is to create a budget. Once you know what you're spending your money on, youcan figure out what you don't need to spend it on -- and sock those savings away. "Every month you have topay yourself first," says Joe Moglia, CEO of Ameritrade. "Take a little out of your paycheck." It doesn't haveto be much -- it could be foregoing(放弃) that extra latte or getting the DVD free at the library.[E] Retirement. Just about every survey of American investors these days shows that retirement is a mainreason for saving. Yet an astounding number of people ignore the opportunities offered by employment-basedretirement plans. According to a recent survey by Aon Consulting, more than 20% of those eligible for a 401kplan do not participate at all, while another 53% do not save at a rate high enough to take full advantage oftheir employers' matching contribution -- the closest thing to free money in the retirement savings universe.Consider it money that grows without being taxed.[F] Emergency reserves. Many financial planners recommend that you have enough money in a savings ormoney-market account for at least six to nine months of essential expenses, including your mortgage or rent,insurance premiums, credit card payments, utility and grocery bills and other fixed expenses, such as carpayments or student loans. And it's always a good idea to have cash on hand once you are confronted withemergency situations. For example, if the ATMs in your neighborhood were out, you can have enough tocover your immediate needs for a week or so.Protect Y our Family[G] A major illness, an extended disability or the loss of a job could wipe out your financial reserves and anyprospect of being able to save enough to achieve your other life goals. Here's what you need to protect yoursavings:[H] Health insurance. A recent study of court records and direct interviews indicated that about half ofpersonal bankruptcies in the U.S. are caused in part by medical debts. A relative of mine is about to have her∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶ 装∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶ 订 ∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶ 线∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶hip replaced and because she's over 65, Medicare is paying for it. But people under that age face enormous bills -- when a child needs an appendectomy, for instance -- and many of them lack insurance. [I] If your company provides medical benefits, you have the most cost-efficient coverage available. Sign up. If you're responsible for your own medical insurance, you may want to look into health savings accounts (HSAs), a combination of a high deductible health plan and a tax-deductible savings account allocated to health care expenses. The funds in the account grow tax-free and can be withdrawn tax-free to pay for any qualified medical expenses, including over-the-counter medications, dental care, eyeglasses and other costs not usually covered by conventional health insurance plans.[J] Disability insurance. Over 80% of Americans don't have adequate disability coverage, according to a survey by the Consumer Federation of America and the American Council of Life Insurers. You may already have disability insurance through your employee benefits plan, either as paid sick leave or actual disability payments if you're unable to work for an extended period of time. But these programs tend to pay far less than your weekly salary. For the self-employed, having a financial safety net is even more crucial.[K] Life insurance. If you die prematurely, a life-insurance policy will provide immediate funds for funeral expenses, and may help replace your lost income. "Life insurance isn't a priority if you are single, but if you have a spouse or dependents, you want to make sure they're taken care of," says Barbara Raasch. Employers frequently offer coverage as part of their benefits package. Protect Y our Legacy[L] One of the most thoughtful legacies that anyone can leave is peace of mind. No one wants to mar the memory of a loved one with "I think this is what Mom wanted but she never said" doubts. You can prevent that with the right advance directives and documents: [M] A will. Over half of the adult population in this country dies without a will. This is not just senseless; it’s downright irresponsible. “ If you die without a will,” says Karin Barkhorn, an estate planning attorney at Brayan Cave LLP,” the state determines how your assets aredispersed. “ What ’s more, the government could end up collecting a lot more tax than necessary.[N] A living will. Also known as a health care directive, a living will specifies what medical measures should be used to keep you alive if you are incapacitated. The agonizing Terri Schiavo case earlier this year showed how the absence of a living will can rip a family apart. Health care providers are generally required to comply with the wishes you describe in your living will.[O]. Durable power of attorney. This document authorizes a loved one to make financial decisions on your behalf should you become unable. It allows someone to renew your CD at the bank, pay bills, sell stock or even sell your home or business, based on the agent's determination of what is best for you. "If you are in the hospital and cannot pay your bills or sign a check, someone will have to do it," says Raasch. "If any of your assets are held in yourname only, your spouse can't touch that money unless the court appoints him guardian. The emotional turmoil of your loved ones having to go to court will only add to your misery." Although it's best to have these documents prepared by a family-law attorney, you can cover the basics on your own with software such as Quicken's WillMaker Plus or Kiplinger's WillPower.[P] Retirement savings. Insurance coverage. Estate planning. These are the foundations of a financial well-being plan. Take care of your family and yourself today.1. We are advised to leave some cash at home in order to cope with sudden and serious situations.2.The disability insurance obtained by the employee benefits plan is not enough for a decent living.3. Once a person is too weak or loses the ability to do things, a living will is a reliable document for requesting medical measures.∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶装∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶订∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶线∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶4.

Chinese tourism: The good, the bad, the backlashThe results fall right in line with China's outbound tourism growth over the last 10 years. The UNWTO says the volume of international trips by Chinese travelers grew from 10 million in 2000 to 83 million in 2012, making it the world's fastest-growing market. So what's behind the increase?The UNWTO credits rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes and the relaxation of government restrictions on foreign travel.∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶装∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶订∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶线∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶∶。

(5小题，每题2分，共10分) Crime is a very serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile delinquency –that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years juvenile delinquency had been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crimes: stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Y oung people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people inBritain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everyone knows everyone else.Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences the young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.21. From the passage we know that many British people are confused about ________.A. the causes of juvenile crimesB. the rise of the crime rateC. the problem of crimes in their countryD. the various kinds of juvenile delinquency22. One reason why young people in large cities are more likely to commit crimes is that________.A. they need more moneyB. they are free to moveC. they live a better lifeD. nobody knows anything about others23. According to the passage, which groups of the following young people are LEAST likely tocommit crimes?A. Those living in big cities.B. Those living in the countryside.C. Those who are very poor.D. Those who are in need of help.24. Unlike many others, the author holds that one important cause for juvenile delinquency isthat ________.A. young people nowadays do not like adult worldB. young people in Britain today are freer than beforeC. young people are influenced by crime and violence in films and newspapersD. too many young people have come to live in big cities25. According to the passage, which is to blame for juvenile crimes, apart from the young peoplethemselves?A. The adult world.B. Their parents.C. The society.D. The development of the cities.Part III. Answer the questions according to the report: (5小题，每题5分，共25分)China’s Premier Wen Jiabao Concludes Pakistan Visit Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao concluded a three-day visit to Pakistan Sunday aimed at expanding economic and defense ties, while at the same time assuaging concerns over Beijing’s recent friendliness with New Delhi.During Wen’s visit, China signed commercial agreements with Pakistan’s government and private companies worth $30 billion, covering the railway, solar, wind and energy sectors, among others.Unlike Western leaders, who have castigated Pakistan for failing to crack down adequately on Islamist militants operating from its soil, Premier Wen praised Islamabad for its fight against terrorism. ‘Pakistan has been in the forefront of the fight against global terrorism and theinternational community s hould recognize its sacrifices,’Wen said in an address to the joint session of Pakistan’s parliament Sunday.China has long been a close ally of Pakistan as it sees as a way of projecting its power into the South Asian region and balancing the U.S.’s increasingly close ties with New Delhi.China also has been moving closer to India, Pakistan’s rival. Before arriving in Pakistan, Premier Wen spent three days in India, during which Indian and Chinese companies signed commercial deals worth $16 billion. On Thursday, the two countries set a target for bilateral trade to reach $100 billion annually by 2015.But China’s political ties with India remain strained over a series of issues, not least Beijing’s support for Pakistan, including help with nuclear technology. China is helping Pakistan build two nuclear power plants. Reported by Zahid HussainQuestions:26. What did Premier Wen’s visit to Pakistan aim at?27. How much are the commercial agreements signed between China and Pakistan?28. How did Premier Wen commend Islamabad for its fight against terrorism?29. Why has China long been a close ally of Pakistan?30. What’s the target for bilateral trade set by China and India by 2015?Part IV. Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (1题，25分)31. On his trip, Premier Wen was keen to underscore that Beijing’s stronger commercial ties with India would not weaken its friendship with Pakistan. ‘Strengthening and promoting strategic, brotherly relations is our joint strategic choice and they are in the interests of the two countries and their people,’ Wen said. A joint statement issued after Premier Wen met this weekend with Pakistan Prime Min ister Yousaf Raza Gilani said: ‘Chinese-Pakistan relations have gone beyond bilateral dimensions and acquired broader regional and international impacts.’湖南广播电视大学开放教育期末考试英语报刊选读考试样题（1）答题纸Part I.

In which part in a magazine can we read the material above?A. Sports.B. Travel.C. Education.B(One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged. He was washed to the beach by sea wave. He walked and walked to find a city, but he was too tired and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.)The Emperor spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth.The Emperor and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages — Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers.After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants also went. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man.The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it at once. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury (埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country.Adapted from(改编) Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift4. How many languages did Gulliver speak when talking with the Emperor?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.5. Why were there strong guards around Gulliver?A. To stop the crowd of people from eating him.B. To prevent the crowd of people from hurting him.C To keep the crowd of people from making him angry.6. What does the underlined word “binding ” mean in Paragraph 5?A 绑带 B. 手套 C. 粘剂7. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A. The wise men wanted to kill Gulliver because he ate a man of them.B. The Emperor asked his men to punish Gulliver because of his kindness...C. The Emperor’s advisers were worried because the food was not enough.CWhat is better than a warming meal of hot pot? It’s an eye-catching dance performance to go with it, according to hot pot chain Haidilao.Haidilao has recently offered a new dance performance as part of the dining experience. Its staff perform the “Kemusan” (or “Subject Three”) dance while guests eat.The “Kemusan” dance is widely believed to originate from (起源于) a lively wedding celebration in Guangxi in southern China, where local people danced together joyfully. When performers dance, they swing their knees sideways and at the same time they perform a series of hand actions, including rapid wrist-twisting (绕腕的) moves. The dance is done to music that sounds like a mix of Western disco beats and traditional Chinese folk singing.It is said that local people in Guangxi have to go through three necessary “tests” in their life: singing folk songs as Subject One, slurping rice noodles (嗦米粉) as Subject Two and dancing as Subject Three.To “unlock” the new service at the hot pot chain, guests have to say the word “kemusan” to the servers. In videos shared online, some guests seem to enjoy it so much that they join staff in the performance. The “Kemusan” dance soon became well-known in China and was performed by many people.In addition, it is loved by foreign dancers. On December 15th, 2023, the Russian Royal Ballet performed the “Kemusan” dance at the curtain call (谢幕) of Swan Lake at the Shengjing Grand Theater in Shenyang, bringing the house down.8. Why has the hot pot chain offered this eye-catching dance performance?A. To enrich guests’ dining experience.B. To teach guests to perform the dance.C. To make guests dance together joyfully.9Which isn’t included in the three necessary “tests” of the locals in Guangxi?.A. Slurping rice noodles.B. Singing folk songs.C. Dancing ballet.10. According to the passage, which sentence may agree with the writer’s opinion?A. The “Kemusan” dance originates from a lively wedding celebration in southern China.B. The “Kemusan” dance is just known in China and is only performed by Chinese people.C. The Russian Royal Ballet performed the “Kemusan” dance when the curtain rose in 2023.11. What do you think the main idea is for the passage?A. What exactly the “Kemusan” dance is.B. How the staff in Haidilao perform the “Kemusan” dance.C. The tests people in Guangxi should go through in their life.第二节 (共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

His stories are known for their surprising endings, now called “O. Henry endings”.In the story of The Last Leaf, Sue and Joanna are two artists living in New York City.Unfortunately, Joanna is ill and will probably die. In the hospital, something touching andunexpected happens. Let’s find out more in the following excerpt(节选).Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常春藤) plant.The half-dead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.“There are only five, now,” said Joanna.“Five what, dear? What are you counting?”“The ivy leaves,” replied Joanna. “When the last one goes, I’ll die. I’ve known that for two days. Didn’t the doctor tell you about it?’“Joanna, don’t say that. Now, eat some soup and I’ll finish my picture.”“I don’t want any soup,” said Joanna, looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”“Joanna dear, try to sleep. I must ask Mr. Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer.”Mr. Berman, who was over 60 years old, lived downstairs. He was a painter, too, but he never sold anything, and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.“She can’t really think that this will happen! The poor woman!” he cried....Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days, the leaf was still there.“Susie,” said Joanna, “I’ve been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup, dear.”The next day, the doctor said, “She’s out of danger. But poor Mr. Berman downstairs is dying. There’s no hope for him, I’m afraid.”That afternoon Sue went into Joanna’s bedroom.“Joanna dear, Mr. Berman died today. And do you know why? One terrible, cold wet night he took a ladder(梯子) and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up, and — oh, look at the last ivy leaf on the wall! Why didn’t it move in the wind? It was Mr. Berman’s last great picture. He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”24. What can we know about the Last Leaf according to the passage?A. It has an expected and exciting ending.B. It tells a moving story happened in a hospital.C. It is a long story written by the US writer O. Henry.25. How long can Joanna live in the doctor’s eyes?A. For several days.B. For several months.C. For several years.26. Why didn’t the last ivy leaf fall after a few windy days?A. Because it was painted on the wall.B. Because the wind was not so strong.C. Because the leaf was young and green.27. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?A. Mr. Berman was a very kind-hearted artist.B. Sue was too busy to comfort her friend Joanna.C. Joanna was a careless girl without hope in her life.CAre you an “I person” or an “E person”? These two personality labels(标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator,or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” refers to “introverted(内向的)” while “E” refers to “extroverted(外向的)”. Even if someo ne is usually quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with agroup of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person. According topsychologists(心理学家), this idea of changing personalities for a short time is called “masking”.That is hiding your true personality in some situations. “Human beings want to feel they belongto a group, and they might become people-pleasers to do so,” wrote the Ma sterClass website.Using the MBTI result to identify(识别) and describe someone’s personality seems fun.However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.The MBTI personalit y test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is —for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define(定义) who you are.28. What is True about the MBTI test results?A. An “I” person may sometimes become an “E” person.B. An “E” person is introverted and always acts outgoing.C. The results suggest more than 16 different personalities.29. The underlined word “masking” in paragraph 3 means _______.A. 暴露B. 伪装C. 欺骗30. What can we infer from the passage?A. The writer’s sister would follow what her personality test told her to do.B. The MBTI test is scientific and can be used to define people’s personality.C. People might change their personalities to please others in some situations.31. What is the right attitude towards the MBTI test results?A. We should always follow what the results tell us to do.B. We can use the results to tell if a person is good or bad.C. We may make use of it as a good topic for making friends.第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
