The frequency with which it is borrowed 41 a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The 42 to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation brings to such landscapes is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform 43 that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the 44 view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human 45 , or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for 46 . While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no 47 reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being 48 by the other participants. One opinion is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a 49 question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously 50 much more serious thinking.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the 51 roles of producer or ―provider‖ andpurchaser or ―consumer‖ in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 52 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, 53 , is not common in most of the health-care industry.In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the 54 relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant 55 decisions: whether the patient should return ―next Wednesday,‖ whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will 56 such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 57 .This is particularly 58 in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the 59 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are 60 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real ―consumer.‖ As a consequence, the 61 represents the ―power center‖ in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usually there are in this situation four recognizable participants —the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) —the physician makes the 62 for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 63 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a 64 role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 65 are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere(干涉) with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event that rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________.A. by leaning upon violenceB. by taking legal actionC. by confusing the fox huntersD. by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large-scale fox hunting(B)Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about ―zero-emissions (零排放的) vehicles,‖ but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something — usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those ―zero-emissions‖ cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just that the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the California Greens (加州绿党) are covering their eyes —―If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.‖ Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat — at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may power your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far — so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technic al, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.70. Which of the following words can replace ―be clueless about‖ in paragraph 2?A. Be familiar with.B. Be curious about.C. Show their interest in.D. Fail to understand.71. What can we learn about the California Green from the idea ―If I can’t see it, it’s nothappening‖?A. They do not know those clean cars are likely coal-burning cars.B. They do believe the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean.C. They tend to hold that electricity is a nice part of energy.D. They tend to maintain that gasoline is a good way to run a vehicle.72. According to the passage, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more _______.A. environmentally-friendlyB. expensiveC. harmfulD. efficient73. We can get the conclusion from the passage that _______.A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationB. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingC. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins(C)For the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts(地位相当的人) to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.Traditional economics takes an optimistic line on integration (整合) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment (组合投资), it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to pushincomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.74. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization?A. They can get more chances to gain a good job.B. They can get more financial aid.C. They have nothing to lose.D. They have less to lose and more to gain.75. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource?A. It will top up domestic savings.B. It will loosen the financial restriction.C. It will push people’s incomes up.D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad.76. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries’ expense.C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.77. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage?A. Benefited or HurtB. Who Benefits the MostC. Helping the PoorD. The Inflow of ResourcesSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s close to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually indicates a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignment, and schedules on websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas. But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced enthusiasm to the course. While dropout rate for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses internal in the setup. In a survey conducted for Cornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence th at instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)78. The author mentioned the University of Phoenix to make us believe that _____________.79. According to the second paragraph, if you apply for a DL course, you will have little chance to _______________.80. What are the two negative effects the convenience of DL brings about?81.

But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts(地位相当的人) to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.Traditional economics takes an optimistic line on integration (整合) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment (组合投资), it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.74. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization?A. They can get more chances to gain a good job.B. They can get more financial aid.C. They have nothing to lose.D. They have less to lose and more to gain.75. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource?A. It will top up domestic savings.B. It will loosen the financial restriction.7 / 12C. It will push people’s incomes up.D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad.76. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries’ expense.C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.77. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage?A. Benefited or HurtB. Who Benefits the MostC. Helping the PoorD. The Inflow of ResourcesSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.8 / 12By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s close to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually indicates a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignment, and schedules on websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s th e convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas. But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced enthusiasm to the course. While dropout rate for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses internal in the setup. In a survey conducted for Cornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)78. The author mentioned the University of Phoenix to make us believe that _____________.79. According to the second paragraph, if you apply for a DL course, you will have little chance to _______________.80. What are the two negative effects the convenience of DL brings about?81.

When he was reporting in Rwanda, oneheartbreaking moment made a deep impression on me. When thecamera showed all of the children who were dying, suffered fromterrible diseases,Jim ended his piece by saying that when he got home,the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his ownchildren. Then I realized that he was differe nt, that he didn’t fall into any of the modern television-news tricks, that he was not giving us any awful, artificial(假的) television-journalist reports out of（出于) pity. Instead, I was watching a real reporter with a gift(天赋) for both words and slight differences.Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS(艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher－the one with real wisdom and understanding about life－is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their lo ve for each other.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed m y sign in the morning? What did you write? ”The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind.

He had left the college 25 years before, and he had never been back. As he walked up from station, he slowly began to feel the same excitement that he had felt when he first went there as an 18-year'-01d boy. When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous.

Who would be there at the reunion? He wondered.

The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spendingmore and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said.Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.88.Were there 3 cities in China taking part in the study?(1分)____________，_______________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When yousmile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood（心情）always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming（责备）yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?88. Happiness is a feeling, isn’t it?____________, _________________________________________________.89. What makes you more charming and gives you hope?_______________________________________________________________.90. What does the underlined sentence mean according to paragraph 3?________________________________________________________________.91. What can we do when we can’t change the way life is?________________________________________________________________.92. How many factors influence happiness? What are they?________________________________________________________________________. 93. How do you make yourself happy in your daily life? Give an example.________________________________________________________________________.Keys: 88. Yes, it is.89. Wearing a smile and a good mood.90. No matter how happy you are, it's normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while./There are happiness and sadness in our life.91. We can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one.92.

When her performance ofthe song "On the Good Ship Lollipop" became famous, she earned aspecial Academy Award. Temple took on some acting roles as an adultbefore entering politics, becoming a U.S. Diplomat(外交官) for theUnited Nations. She died on February 10, 2014, at age 85, in California.Child StarShirley Jane Temple was born to a banker and a housewife with two older children in California. When Temple was just three years old, she got a contract(合同) with Educational Pictures, making her first acting in a series of low-cost movies called "Baby Burlesques.""Baby Burlesques" led Temple to a contract with the Fox Film Corporation. When the young actress was six years old, she appeared in her first Hollywood film, Carolina. With Fox, Temple made a hit film Little Miss Marker. At that time, the young actress, singer and dancer with the golden curly hair and smiling face proved to be an overnight sensation (轰动) and a top earner for the studio.President Franklin D. Roosevelt called Temple "Little Miss Miracle" for raising the public's confidence and cheerfulness during the hard times. He said, "As long as our country has ShirleyTemple, we will be all right." Temple’s song-and-dance to the tune "On the Good Ship Lollipop" in 1934 earned her a special Academy Award "Outstanding Personality of 1934".Grown-Up ActressWhen Shirley Temple began to grow older, she got less popular with audiences. As a teenager, she appeared in The Blue Bird (1940), which performed poorly at the box office. At age 19, she acted as Susan Turner in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer with her friends Cary Grant and Myrna Loy. Though the film received some praise, audiences found it difficult to accept that their "Little Miss Miracle" was growing up.During the 1950s and early 1960s, she made a few appearances on the small screen, but her career (职业) as a popular film star had ended at an earlier age than most actors’ had begun.88.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Walking down a path, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path (25)______ wasn’t covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurtthough I (26)______(strike) four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped (27)______(attack) me. I found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laughing, I stepped back (28)______(look) the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments (29)______(early). He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, (30)______ ______ I was careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than (31)______(reward) him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly (32)______ I see huge barriers facing me.(B)You’ve probably seen athletes who take their own successes too seriously. They celebrate a goal with a very long victory dance or continually talk big about their abilities. This is the exact opposite of (33)______ sportsmanship is all about.Everyone feels great when they win, but it can be just as hard to be a good sport（有运动家品格的人）when you have won a game as when you have lost one. Sportsmanship takes courage — when you work really hard at a sport, it’s not easy (34)______(admit) you made a bad play or someone has more skills than you. In competition — as in life — you may not always win but you can learn (35)______ from losing, too.It’s pretty tough to lose, so it is definitely annoying if someone continues making fun of you or your team (36)______ the competition is over. Sometimes it’s hard to swallow your pride and walk on. But there’s al ways the next match.When you do lose—and it will happen—lose with class（风度）. (37)______(be) proud of how you performed, or at least realizing things you need to improve for next time, is the key. When it comes to losing, sportsmanship means congratulating the winners willingly. Also, it means accepting the game result without complaint and without excuses, (38)______ ______ you sometimes might doubt the referees（裁判员）made some questionable calls.When you win, the good way is to be a polite and generous winner. Sportsmanship means admitting victories (39)______ putting your opponents to shame and letting victories speak for themselves, that is, being quietly proud of success. Despite the fact (40)______ you have a massive win, sportsmanship means still finding ways to praise your opponents.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.“In wilderness is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed41 a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The 42 to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation brings to such landscapes is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform43 that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the 44 view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human 45 , or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for 46 . While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no 47 reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being 48 by the other participants. One opinion is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a 49 question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously50 much more serious thinking.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the 51 roles of producer o r “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 52 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition,53 , is not common in most of the health-care industry.In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the54 relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant 55 decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday,” whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will 56 such decisions madeby experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 57 .This is particularly 58 in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the 59 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are 60 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer.” As a consequence, the 61 represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usually there are in this situation four recognizable participants — the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) — the physician makes the 62 for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 63 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a 64 role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 65 are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.51. A. peculiar B. normal C. minor D. vital52. A. eager B. potential C. overseas D. reluctant53. A. moreover B. therefore C. however D. instead54. A. ordinary B. permanent C. stable D. intense55. A. difficult B. conscious C. early D. purchasing56. A. accept B. confirm C. challenge D. announce57. A. common B. serious C. mild D. preventable58. A. significant B. rare C. changeable D. alternative59. A. choice B. need C. disadvantage D. importance60. A. balanced B. accurate C. independent D. final61. A. patient B. medical staff C. government D. insurance agent62. A. academic B. typical C. unique D. essential63. A. reduces B. sends C. loses D. meets64. A. traditional B. clear C. passive D. dominant65. A. spending B. schedule C. therapy D. requirementSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats andwhite trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere (干涉) with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event that rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________.A. by leaning upon violenceB. by taking legal actionC. by confusing the fox huntersD. by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large-scale fox hunting(B)Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions (零排放的) vehicles,” but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something — usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear powerplants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just that the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the California Greens (加州绿党) are covering their eyes —“If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat —at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may power your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from t hat gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far —so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, tech nical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.70. Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in paragraph 2?A. Be familiar with.B. Be curious about.C. Show their interest in.D. Fail to understand.71. What can we learn about the California Green from the idea “If I can’t see it, it’s not happening”?A. They do not know those clean cars are likely coal-burning cars.B. They do believe the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean.C. They tend to hold that electricity is a nice part of energy.D. They tend to maintain that gasoline is a good way to run a vehicle.72. According to the passage, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more _______.A. environmentally-friendlyB. expensiveC. harmfulD. efficient73. We can get the conclusion from the passage that _______.A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationB. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingC. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins(C)For the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot togain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts (地位相当的人) to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.Traditional economics takes an optimistic line on integration(整合) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment (组合投资), it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.74. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization?A. They can get more chances to gain a good job.B. They can get more financial aid.C. They have nothing to lose.D. They have less to lose and more to gain.75. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource?A. It will top up domestic savings.B. It will loosen the financial restriction.C. It will push people’s incomes up.D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad.76. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries’ expense.C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.77. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage?A. Benefited or HurtB. Who Benefits the MostC. Helping the PoorD. The Inflow of ResourcesSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s close to90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually indicates a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignment, and schedules on websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas. But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced enthusiasm to the course. While dropout rate for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses internal in the setup. In a survey conducted for Cornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)78. The author mentioned the University of Phoenix to make us believe that _____________.79. According to the second paragraph, if you apply for a DL course, you will have little chance to _______________.80. What are the two negative effects the convenience of DL brings about?81. Universities show great passion for DL programs for the purpose of _________________.第II 卷(共47分)I.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Walking down a path, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path (25)______ wasn’t covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I (26)______(strike) four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped (27)______(attack) me. I found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laughing, I stepped back (28)______(look) the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments (29)______(early). He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, (30)______ ______ I was careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking somethingthousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than (31)______(reward) him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly (32)______ I see huge barriers facing me.(B)You’ve probably seen athletes who take their own successes too seriously. They celebrate a goal with a very long victory dance or continually talk big about their abilities. This is the exact opposite of (33)______ sportsmanship is all about.Everyone feels great when they win, but it can be just as hard to be a good sport（有运动家品格的人）when you have won a game as when you have lost one.

Sometimes it’s hard to swallow your pride and walk on. But there’s alw ays the next match.When you do lose—and it will happen—lose with class（风度）. (37)______(be) proud of how you performed, or at least realizing things you need to improve for next time, is the key.

Sportsmanship means admitting victories (39)______ putting your opponents to shame and letting victories speak for themselves, that is, being quietly proud of success. Despite the fact (40)______ you have a massive win, sportsmanship means still finding ways to praise your opponents.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.“In wilderness is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed41 a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The 42 to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation brings to such landscapes is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform43 that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the 44 view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that isnot, he argues, a reason to avoid all human 45 , or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for 46 . While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no 47 reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being 48 by the other participants. One opinion is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a 49 question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously50 much more serious thinking.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the 51 roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 52 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition,53 , is not common in most of the health-care industry.In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the54 relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant 55 decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday,” whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will 56 such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 57 .This is particularly 58 in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the 59 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are 60 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer.” As a consequence, the 61 represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usually there are in this situation four recognizable participants — the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) —the physician makes the 62 for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 63 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for themost part the patient plays a 64 role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 65 are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.51. A. peculiar B. normal C. minor D. vital52. A. eager B. potential C. overseas D. reluctant53. A. moreover B. therefore C. however D. instead54. A. ordinary B. permanent C. stable D. intense55. A. difficult B. conscious C. early D. purchasing56. A. accept B. confirm C. challenge D. announce57. A. common B. serious C. mild D. preventable58. A. significant B. rare C. changeable D. alternative59. A. choice B. need C. disadvantage D. importance60. A. balanced B. accurate C. independent D. final61. A. patient B. medical staff C. government D. insurance agent62. A. academic B. typical C. unique D. essential63. A. reduces B. sends C. loses D. meets64. A. traditional B. clear C. passive D. dominant65. A. spending B. schedule C. therapy D. requirementSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere (干涉) with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals withdogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event that rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________.A. by leaning upon violenceB. by taking legal actionC. by confusing the fox huntersD. by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large-scale fox hunting(B)Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions (零排放的) vehicles,” but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something — usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just that the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. I t is not. It’s as if the California Greens (加州绿党) are covering their eyes —“If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat — at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may power your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far — so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric cartruly would be clean. But for political, techn ical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.70. Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in paragraph 2?A. Be familiar with.B. Be curious about.C. Show their interest in.D. Fail to understand.71. What can we learn about the California Green from the idea “If I can’t see it, it’s nothappening”?A. They do not know those clean cars are likely coal-burning cars.B. They do believe the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean.C. They tend to hold that electricity is a nice part of energy.D. They tend to maintain that gasoline is a good way to run a vehicle.72. According to the passage, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more _______.A. environmentally-friendlyB. expensiveC. harmfulD. efficient73. We can get the conclusion from the passage that _______.A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationB. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingC. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins(C)For the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts(地位相当的人) to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.Traditional economics takes an optimistic line on integration(整合) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment (组合投资), it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better:this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.74. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization?A. They can get more chances to gain a good job.B. They can get more financial aid.C. They have nothing to lose.D. They have less to lose and more to gain.75. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource?A. It will top up domestic savings.B. It will loosen the financial restriction.C. It will push people’s incomes up.D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad.76. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries’ expense.C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.77. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage?A. Benefited or HurtB. Who Benefits the MostC. Helping the PoorD. The Inflow of ResourcesSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s close to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country.While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually indicates a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignment, and schedules on websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether.The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas. But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced enthusiasm to the course. While dropout rate for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses internal in the setup. In a survey conducted for Cornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)78. The author mentioned the University of Phoenix to make us believe that _____________.79. According to the second paragraph, if you apply for a DL course, you will have little chance to _______________.80. What are the two negative effects the convenience of DL brings about?81. Universities show great passion for DL programs for the purpose of _________________.第II 卷(共47分)I.
