Mark youranswers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Passage 1Protests at the use of animals in research have taken a new and fearful character in Britain with the attempted murder of two British scientists by the terrorist technique of the pre-plantedcar-bomb.The research community will rightly be alarmed at these developments, which have two objectives: to arouse public attention and to frighten people working in research with animals. The first need is that everything should be done to identify those responsible for the crimes and to put them on trail. The Defence Research Society has taken the practical step of offering a reward of 10,000 pounds for information leading to those responsible, but past experience is not encouraging. People are unlikely to be tempted by such offers. The professional police will similarly be confronted by the usual problem of finding a needle in a haystack.That is why the intellectual (知识分子) community in Britain and elsewhere must act more vigorously in its own defence. There are several steps that can be taken, of which the chief one is to demand of all the organizations that exist with the declared objectives of safeguarding the interests of animals that they should declare clearly where they stand on violence towards people. And it will not be enough for the chairmen and chairwomen of these organizations to utter placatory (安抚的) statements on behalf of alltheir members. These people should also undertake that it will be a test of continuing membership in their organizations that members and would be members should declare that they will take no part in acts of violence against human beings. Even such undertakings would not be fully effective: people, after all, can lie. But at least they would distinguish the organizations entitled to a continuing voice in the dialogue with the research community about the rights of animals in research from the organizations that deserve no say.21.The words “these developments”(Para. 2, Line 1) most probably refer to ________.A) the acts of violence against scientistsB) the use of animals in researchC) the techniques of planting bombs in carsD) the establishment of new animal protection organization22.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) The police abandoned their efforts to find the criminals.B) The terrorists escaped with the help of their organizations.C) The attempted murder caused grave anxiety among British scientists.D) People sy MPA thized murder caused grave anxiety among British scientists.23.The author’s purpose in writing his article is to demand that animal-protecting organizations ____.A) declare their objectives clearlyB) give up the use of violenceC) continue the dialogue with the scientific communityD) help to find those responsible for the attempted murder24.In the author’s opinion ________.A) since people can lie, the problem about their rights of scientists can’t be solvedB) animal-protecting organizations about be held responsible for acts of violence against scientistsC) animal protection organizations should be declared illegalD) the scientists should take effective measures to protect themselves25.What does the word “they”(Para. 3, Line 4) refer to?A) The animal-protecting organizations.B) The organizations that will talk with the research community.C) Those who support the use of animals in research.D) Those who support the animal-protection organizations.Passage 2Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic (流行病) of sleepiness in the nation. “I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,”says Dr. David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.The beginning of our sleep-deficit (睡眠不足) crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. From diary entries and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries,sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. “The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.”By the 1920.s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and eight hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “People cheat on their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,”says Dr. David. “They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, eight or even more to feel ideally vigorous.”Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researchers say is the complexity of the day. Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community mount, many people consider sleep the leastexpensive item on his programme. “In our society, you’re co nsidered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours’sleep. If you’re got to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition.”To determine the consequences of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. “We’ve found that if you’re in sleep deficit, performance suffers,”says Dr. David. “Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate.”26.People in the 18th and 19th centuries used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night because they had ___ .A) no drive and ambitionB) no electric lightingC) the best sleep habitsD) nothing to do in the evening27.According to Dr. David, Americans ________.A) are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of lifeB) often neglect the consequences of sleep deficitC) do not know how to relax themselves properlyD) can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep28.Many Americans believe that ________.A) sleep is the first thing that can be sacrificed when one is busyB) they need more sleep to cope with the complexities of everyday lifeC) to sleep is something one can do at any time of the dayD) enough sleep promotes people’s drive and ambiti on29.The word “subjects”(Line 1, Para. 4) refers to ________.A) the performance tests used in the study of sleep deficitB) special branches of knowledge that are being studiedC) people whose behavior or reactions are being studiedD) the psychological consequences of sleep deficit30.It can be concluded from the passage that one should sleep as many hours as is necessary to ___.A) improve one’s memory dramaticallyB) be considered dynamic by other peopleC) maintain one’s daily scheduleD) feel energetic and perform adequatelyPassage 3Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple谢谢观赏commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about谢谢观赏。

Choose the best one and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.One of the most eminent of psychologists, Clark Hull, claimed that the essence of reasoning lies in the putting together of two ´behavior segments´in some novel way, never actually performed before, so as to reach a goal. Two followers of Clark Hull, Howard and Tracey Kendler, 1 a test for children that was explicitly based on Clark Hull´s principles. The children were given the 2 of learning to operate a machine so as to get a toy. In order to succeed they had to go through a two-stage 3 . The children were trained on each stage 4 . The stages consisted merely of pressing the correct one of two buttons to get a marble; and of 5 the marble into a small hole to release the toy.The Kendlers found that the children could learn the separate bits readily enough. 6 the task of getting a marble by pressing the button they could get the marble; given the task of getting a toy when a marble was handed to them, they could use the marble. (All they had to do was put it in a hole.) 7 they did not for the most part ´integrate´, to use the Kendlers´terminology. They did not press the button to get the marble and then 8 without further help to use the marble to get the toy. So the Kendlers concluded that they were incapable of deductive 9 .The mystery at first appears to deepen when we learn, from 10 psychologist, Michael Cole, and his colleagues, that adults in an African culture apparently cannot do the Kendlers´ task either. But it lessens, 11 when we learn that a task was devised which was 12 to the Kendlers´ one but much easier for the African males to handle.13 the button-pressing machine, Cole used a locked box and two 14 colored match-boxes, one of which contained a key that would open the box. Notice that there are still two 15 segments--"open the right matchbox to get the key" and "use the key to open the box"--so the task seems formally to be 16 But psychologically it is quite different. Now the subject is dealing not with a strange machine but with familiar meaningful objects; and it is clear to him what he is meant to do. It then 17 that the difficulty of integration is greatly reduced.Recent work by Simon Hewson is of great interest here for it shows that, for young children, 18 , the difficulty lies not in the 19 processes which the task demands, but in certain perplexing features of the apparatus and the procedure. When these are changed in ways which do not at all affect the inferential nature of the problem, then five-year-old children solve the problem 20 college students did in the Kendlers´ own experiments.第1题A.devisedB.madeC.didD.produced第2题A.workB.dutyC.taskD.obligation第3题A.consequenceB.sequenceC.resultD.order第4题A.exclusivelypletelyC.fullyD.separately第5题A.inferringB.importingC.insertingD.imagining第6题A.GivenB.AppointedC.FurnishedD.Distributed第7题A.MoreoverB.ButC.ThusD.Then第8题A.prolongB.proposeC.processD.proceed第9题A.reassumingB.discussingC.reasoningD.demonstrating第10题A.anotherB.differentC.additionalD.else第11题A.what´s moreB.in the second placeC.in additionD.on the other hand 第12题A.likeB.similarC.diverseD.familiar第13题A.Apart fromB.Thanks toC.Instead ofD.Except for第14题A.correctlyB.equallyC.intendedlyD.differently第15题A.mannerB.behaviorC.deedD.activity第16题A.the sameB.the identicalC.the duplicateD.the alike第17题A.turns onB.turns overC.turns outD.turns up第18题A.eitherB.alsoC.likewiseD.too第19题A.infectiousB.inferentialC.innovativeD.indignant第20题A.as much asB.as soon asC.as well asD.as quickly as下一题(21~25/共25题) Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this section.

You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.The battle between Apple and law enforcement officials over unlocking a terrorist"s smart-phone is the climax of a slow turning of the tables between the technology industry and the United States government.On the one side, you have the United States government"s mighty legal and security apparatus fighting for data of the most sympathetic sort: the secrets buried in a dead mass murderer"s phone. The action stems from a federal court order issued on Tuesday requiring Apple to help the F.B.I. unlock an iPhone used by one of the two attackers who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., in December.In the other corner is the world"s most valuable company, whose chief executive, Timothy D. Cook, has said he will appeal the court"s order. Apple argues that it is fighting to preserve a principle that most of us who are addicted to our smartphones can defend: Weaken a single iPhone so that its contents can be viewed by the American government and you risk weakening all iPhones for any government intruder, anywhere.There will probably be months of legal tussling, and it is not at all clear which side will prevail in court, nor in the battle for public opinion and legislative favor.Yet underlying all of this is a simple dynamic: Apple, Google, Facebook and other companies hold most of the cards in this confrontation. They have our data, and their businesses depend on the global public"s collective belief that they will do everything they can to protect that data.Any crack in that front could be fatal for tech companies that must operate worldwide. If Apple is forced to open up an iPhone for an American law enforcement investigation, what"s to prevent it from doing so for a request from the Chinese or the Iranians? Once armed with a method for gaining access to iPhones, the government could ask to use it proactively, before a suspected terrorist at tack—leaving Apple in a bind as to whether to comply or risk an attack and suffer a public-relations nightmare.Yet it"s worth noting that even if Apple ultimately loses this case, it has plenty of technical means to close a backdoor over time. "If they"re anywhere near worth their salt as engineers, I bet they"re rethinking their threat model as we speak," said Jonathan Zdziarski, who studies the iPhone and its vulnerabilities.第21题In Paragraph 1, "a slow turning of the tables" probably means ______.A.fighting under the tableB.reversing a situation slowlyC.beating the opponent slowlyD.performing a good drama第22题What is the United States government fighting for?A.The strong legal and security power.B.The basic rights of the poor.C.The data in a bad guy"s phone.D.The authority of the federal court.第23题Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraphs 3-4?A.Apple is against the court"s order.B.Apple claims it"s fighting for most people"s benefits.C.Apple thinks it does matter to protect the data from any government intruder.D.Apple has got support from the court and the public.第24题The reasons for Apple to protect these data exclude ______.A.its business depends on these dataB.it"s fatal to unlock these data for AppleC.every government wants to get these dataD.the unlock of these data will bring Apple into a dilemma第25题According to the text, which side will win the fight?A.Tech companies.B.The United States government.C.It"s not clear.D.There is no winner.上一题下一题(26~30/共25题) Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.If you watched a certain swimmer"s Rio Games debut on Sunday night, when he propelled the United States 4×l00-meter relay team to a gold medal, you know the answer: Michael Phelps. While it may look like the athletes have been in a bar fight, the purple dots actually are signs of "cupping," an ancient Chinese healing practice that is experiencing an Olympic moment.In cupping, practitioners of the healing technique—or sometimes the athletes themselves—place specialized cups on the skin. Then they use either heat or an air pump to create suction between the cup and the skin, pulling the skin slightly up and away from the underlying muscles. The suction typically lasts for only a few minutes, but it"s enough time to cause the capillaries just beneath the surface to rupture, creating the circular, eye-catching bruises that have been so visible on Phelps as well as members of the United States men"s gymnastics team. Physiologically, cupping is thought to draw blood to the affected area, reducing soreness and speeding healing of overworked muscles. Athletes who use it swear by it, saying it keeps them injury free and speeds recovery. Phelps posted an Instagram photo showing himself stretched on a table as his Olympic swimming teammate Allison Schmitt placed several cups along the back of his thighs. "Thanks for my cupping today!" he wrote.While there"s no question that many athletes, coaches and trainers believe in the treatment, there"s not much science to determine whether cupping offers a real physiological benefit orwhether the athletes simply are enjoying a placebo effect. "A placebo effect is present in all treatments, and I am sure that it is substantial in the case of cupping as well," said Leonid Kalichman, a senior lecturer at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. "A patient can feel the treatment and has marks after it, and this can contribute to a placebo effect."One 2012 study of 61 people with chronic neck pain compared cupping to a technique called progressive muscle relaxation, or PMR, during which a patient deliberately tenses his muscles and then focuses on relaxing them. About half the patients used cupping while the other half used PMR. Both patient groups reported similar reductions in pain after 12 weeks of treatment. Notably, the patients who had used cupping scored higher on measurements of well-being and felt less pain when pressure was applied to the area. Even so, the researchers noted that more study is needed to determine the potential benefits of cupping.第26题We can learn from the passage that Michael Phelps ______.A.is involved in a bar fightB.cups himselfC.is a member of US men"s 4×100-meter relay teamD.and his swimming team members have the purple dots on their shoulders第27题In cupping, practitioners of the healing technique use the following EXCEPT ______.A.heatB.a cupC.a circleD.an air pump第28题Which of the following is NOT the effect of cupping mentioned in the passage?A.Curing cold.B.Less soreness.C.Quick recovery.D.Avoiding getting injured.第29题It can be inferred that a placebo effect occurs simply because ______.A.it has been proved by scienceB.patients have the expectation that it will be helpfulC.patients usually are athletes, coaches and trainersD.it has an evident physiological effect第30题From the study, we know that compared with progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), cupping ______.A.has more potential benefits for healthB.needs more time of treatmentC.is more popular among peopleD.is more effective for people with chronic neck pain上一题下一题(31~35/共25题) Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this section.

On Thursday, Mattel unveiled curvy, petite and tall versions of its iconic fashion doll whose unrealistically thin shape has attracted criticism for decades. The three body types will also be sold in an assortment of skin tones, eye colors and hairstyles.The move is about more than just making Barbie look different. While Barbie was once Mattel"s powerhouse brand, sales have plummeted in recent years as the doll has struggled to remain relevant to little girls who do not look like her and who play with toys other than dolls. "This is about drawing a wider demographic that had turned away from Barbie back to Barbie," said Jim Silver, the editor of a toy review website.But some industry experts and academics have long doubted that cosmetic changes—whether racial or body shapes—can revive the popularity of the 57-year-old Barbie, whose sales have been declining by double-digits in recent years. Executives have been optimistic, pointing to signs that Barbie"s in-store sales began picking up last year.The slumping sales may also be partly attributed to the shift away from traditional toys toward electronics and games in recent years, as many parents and children have clamored for less gender-specific toys. Even Lego, the world"s top toymaker, has had to alter its strategy and some of its building block lines to accommodate the growth in the market for learning toys that appeal to boys and girls. Faced with weakening sales in its core brands like Barbie, and criticism that it was too slow to pick up on trends, Mattel has undertaken a number of efforts to improve innovation.Barbie"s new shapes also coincide with a progressive cultural shift already underway in stores and the toy aisles. Parents and many health experts have complained that too many dolls, models and even clothing companies conform to an extremely thin, even anorexic, body type and have pressured corporations to offer a broader variety of images and apparel sizes to give girls and boys more confidence in their own body shapes.And some parents, concerned about negative gender stereotypes (a racecar for a son, a princess doll for a daughter), have pushed retailers into more gender-neutral territory. The Disney Store, for example, decided to label all of its children"s Halloween costumes as "for kids," as opposed to for boys or girls. Amazon, which by some measures accounts for more than half of all online sales, has banished gender distinctions for its toys.第31题According to Jim Silver, Barbie adds curvy, petite and tall to body shapes in order to ______.A.make Barbie look different in skin tones, eye colors and hairstylesB.cater to girls who do not look like Barbie and who play with other toysC.let a wider range of people who lose interest in Barbie like Barbie againD.let more people from different countries who have never known Barbie love Barbie第32题What do some industry experts and academics think of Barbie"s change?A.It"s too old for Barbie to vary its race and body shapes.B.The change of makeup may not make Barbie popular again.C.Barbie can not be in accordance with customer preferences.D.Barbie can represent more girls with different racial and body shapes.第33题Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Electronics and games tend to be less gender-specific.B.Lego will offer girls more career-oriented toys.C.Lego will shift all of its energies to producing learning toys.D.Mattel is not good at using new technology and innovative approach.第34题According to the passage, parents and many health experts ______.plain that there are too many dolls and modelsB.think that an extremely thin body type is comfortableC.force clothing company to bring pressure to other corporationsD.hope that children are more confident of their own body shapes第35题The introduction of Disney and Amazon helps to illustrate that ______.A.they try to help kids build self-confidenceB.there is no basis for some parents" concernsC.they reject the negative gender stereotypes from the startD.there are some clothes and toys that are less gender-specific in retail stores上一题下一题(36~40/共25题) Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this section.

In the industry"s term, the companies are engaged in a "platform war."A platform, in technology, is essentially a piece of software that other companies build on and that consumers cannot do without. Become the platform and huge profits will follow. Microsoft dominated personal computers because its Windows software became the center of the consumer software world. Google has come to dominate the Internet through its ubiquitous search bar. If true believers in A.I. are correct that this long-promised technology is ready for the mainstream, the company that controls A.I. could steer the tech industry for years to come. "Whoever wins this race will dominate the next stage of the information age," said Pedro Domingos, a machine learning specialist and the author of "The Master Algorithm," a 2015 book that contends that A.I. and big-data technology will remake the world.In this fight—no doubt in its early stages—the big tech companies are engaged in tit-for-tat publicity stunts, circling the same start-ups that could provide the technology pieces they are missing and, perhaps most important, trying to hire the same brains. Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford University professor who is an expert in computer vision, said one of her Ph.D. candidates had an offer for a job paying more than $1 million a year, and that was only one of four from big and small companies.For years, tech companies have used man-versus-machine competitions to show they are making progress on A.I. In 1997, an IBM computer beat the chess champion Garry Kasparov. Five yearsago, IBM went even further when its Watson system won a three-day match on the television trivia show "Jeopardy!" Today, Watson is the centerpiece of IBM"s A.I. efforts.By 2020, the market for machine learning applications will reach $40 billion, IDC, a market research firm, estimates. And 60 percent of those applications, the firm predicts, will run on the platform software of four companies—Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft. Intelligent software applications will become commonplace, said Jeff Dean, a computer scientist who oversees Google"s A.I. development. "And machine learning will touch every industry."第36题The reason for Microsoft controlling personal computers is that ______.A.it has formed a good platformB.its software has gained a lot of moneyC.its Windows software became popular among consumersD.its software has been widely used in search bar第37题Google can steer the tech industry in the future on premise that ______.A.it has controlled the InternetB.I. has prepared to be the mainstreamC.it has won in the information ageD.I. and big-data technology have become mature第38题The text takes "Fei-Fei Li" as an example in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.A.the competition between tech companies is fierceB.the candidates from famous universities are more popularC.the higher the pay is, the more likely the candidate is to accept the offerD.perhaps tech companies are striving for the same talents第39题In which way the tech companies have used to show their progress?petitions between men and machines.B.Chess games. shows.D.The profitability of new products.第40题What"s the author"s attitude towards the future of A.I.?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Unclear.D.Indifferent.上一题下一题(41~45/共25题) Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.A. Think about how your attitude change will affect your lifeB. Look for a role modelC. Be clear about your traitsD. Identify and understand what you want to changeE. Believe that you are able to changeF. Get rid of the pessimistic friendsG. Choose the right company"Our attitude toward life determines life"s attitude towards us." We"ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it"s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.If you look around you, you will see that people with a positive attitude enjoy life more and are generally happier and more successful than those who walk around grumpy and pessimistic. Our attitude is the driving force in our lives—it can either push you to do great things or pull you down to your demise.All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry as there is always an opportunity for change. Let me share with you how I did it.1The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.2We all need to know that what we"re trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.3To be able to overcome all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.4As they say, "Bad company corrupts good character." You don"t expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.5Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don"t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won"t happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won"t have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.It cannot be denied that a positive attitude is very important for living a successful and satisfying life, so it is only fight to strive to have a positive attitude.第42题第43题第44题第45题上一题下一题(1/1) Translation Directions: In this section there is a passage in English. Translate it into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.第46题Even as the carnage at Lehman Brothers left thousands of employees stranded, the next generation of Wall Street hopefuls began filing back to class this month at business schools across the country. The storied banking giant´s demise was an illustrative lesson for the industry and for academics--one that may lead to lasting changes in business-school curriculums. "I predict that people will spend a lot more time than they used to learning about risk management and understanding the subtleties," says Awi Federgruen, chair of the Decision, Risk and Operations Division at Columbia Business School.For more than half a century, business schools have taught the fundamentals of risk management--the study of policies and procedures to analyze and control risk --but the availability of more comprehensive electives is a relatively recent development, a direct response to the faltering U.S. financial markets. Enrollment in the University of Mississippi´s risk-management-and-insurance program, one of the oldest in the country, jumped to 130 students in 2007, up from just 19 in 1995. And the number of U.S. business schools offering a concentration in risk management nearly doubled between 2005 and 2007, according to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, while degrees in risk management are increasingly being offered at business schools around the globe."Maybe this [crisis] will force a number of the business schools, including our own, to rethink whether we should make this part of the complete requirements," says Federgruen, referring to in-depth risk-management coursework, "rather than just counting on the students themselves to understand that this is material that they´d better learn."上一题下一题(1/2)Writing第47题中国有世界上最多的烟民。

The _5_ side of the coin is the classic Johnson & Johnson (J & J) Tylenol tampering case.

By acknowledging the _9_, James Burke was ableto get everyone moving together toward a solution. With Exxon's _10_ to acknowledge the Valdez oil spill, everyone was _11_ in pointing the blame versus working together toward a solution.

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet 1 (40 points) Text 1When an invention is made, the inventor has three possible courses of action open to him: he can give the invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea secret, or patent it.A granted patent is the result of a bargain struck between an inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly (垄断) and publishes full details of his invention to the public after that period terminates.Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the life-span of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events.The longest extension ever granted was to Georges Valensi; his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most ofthe patent's normal life there was no color TV to receive and thus no hope of reward for the invention.Because a patent remains permanently public after it has terminated, the shelves of the library attached to the patent office contain details of literally millions of ideas that are free for anyone to use and, if older than half a century, sometimes even re-patent. Indeed, patent experts often advise anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a search through live patents that the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventor's right is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form permanently invalidates further patents on the idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much modern technological advance is based on these presumptions of legal security.Anyone closely involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most 'new' ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice, either through necessity or dedication, or through the availability of new technology that makes news and money. The basic patent for the theory ofmagnetic recording dates back to 1886. Many of the original ideas behind television originate from the late 19th and early 20th century. Even the Volkswagen rear engine car was anticipated by a 1904 patent fora cart with the horse at the rear.21. The passage is mainly about _____________________.A. an approach to patentsB. the application for patentC. the use of patentsD. the access to patents22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. When a patent becomes out of effect, it can be re-patented if necessaryB. It is necessary for an inventor to apply for a patent before he makes his invention publicC. A patent holder must publicize the details of his invention when its legal period is overD. One can get all the details of a patented invention from a library attached to the patent office23. Georges Valensi's patent lasted until 1971because __________________.A. nobody would offer any reward for his patent prior to that timeB. his patent could not be put to use for an unusually long timeC. there were not enough TV stations to provide color programmesD. the color TV receiver was not available until that time24. The word "plagiarize (Line 5, Para. 5) most probably means "_______________"A. steal and useC. make publicB. give reward toD. taken and change25. From the passage we learn that __________________.A. an invention will not benefit the inventor unless it is reduced to commercial practiceB. products are actually inventions which were made a long time agoC. it is much cheaper to buy an old patent than anew oneD. patent experts often recommend patents to others by conducting a search though dead patents。
