2002年江苏省成人学士学位英语考试试卷ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TESTFOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE(Nov.2002)Paper OnePartⅠListening Comprehension(15minutes15%)(共15题略)Part II Reading Comprehension:Directions:There are some reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling,I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.(86)Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are clutching at(attempting to seize)one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧)---into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market.These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be.And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don care to share at once with your classmates.Well,go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are.Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.16.The authors purpose writing this passage is to tell____.A)readers how to be popular in with aroundB)teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC)parents how to control and guide their childrenD)people how to understand and respect each other17.According to the author,many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own,but, in fact,most of them____.A)have much difficulty understanding each otherB)lack confidenceC)dare not cope with problems single-handedD)are very much afraid of getting lost18.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A)There is no popularity that really counts.B)What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C)It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.D)Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to,but they are actually doing the same.19.The author thinks of advertisements as____.A)convincing B)influential C)instructive D)authoritative20.During the teen-age years,one should learn to____.A)differ from others in as many ways as possibleB)get into the right season and become popularC)find ones real selfD)rebel against parents and the popularity wavesThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years,during which custom,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer ually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器)and convenience foods.(87)This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more after wads,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to________.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.marry while still at school22.We are told that in an average family about1990________.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteenC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.four or five children died when they were five23.Many girls,the passage says,are now likely to________.A.marry so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby24.One reason why the women of today takes a job is that she.A.is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB.does not like children herselfC.need not worry about food for her childrenD.can retire from family responsibilities25.Nowadays,a husband tends to.A.play a greater part in looking after the childrenB.help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC.feel dissatisfied with role in the familyD.take a part-time jib so that he can help in the homeHe slept for a good six hours,and the sun was high when he awoke.As he sat up and yawned a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders,and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back.He turned and stared into Bronco’s hairy face.“What’s this?”he said. The old man tested the knots before answering.“Orders,Black Peter’s changed his mind.Until we can check on you.”Martin swore loudly,then asked if he could talk to Black Peter.Branko shook his head.“He’s busy.”Martin was seized by despair.Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter.After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel.Branko followed.The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various duties.There must have been a stream somewhere nearby,for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water;others were setting up tents and lighting fire.(88)Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns.Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter.“There he is,”he said.“I must talk to him.”Branko tried to stop him,but he pushed him aside,walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out:“Black Peter!I must talk to you.”The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box,deep in conversation with two rough-looking men.“What is it?”he said.“Why are you checking on me?”Martin replied.“I need to be sure bout you,”said Black Peter.“There’s too much to close.”He pointed into the tunnel,and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars.“Is that the treasure?”he asked.Black Peter stood up,struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans.“Yes,”he said at last.26.Martin’s night’s rest.A.was disturbedsted less then six hourssted more than six hoursD.was suddenly cut short27.What happened as soon as Martin woke up?A.Branko struck him.B.He was made a prisoner.C.Branko checked that he was still tied up.D.He was taken off to speak to Black Peter.28.The success of Martin’s plans now depended on his.A.escaping from the tunnelB.finding the treasureC.discovering who the leader of the White Eagles wasD.persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted29.When he got to the mouth of the tunnel,Martin saw men.A.in fairly large numbersB.fetching water from the streamC.packing up camp and getting ready to leaveD.resting in small groups30.Black Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because.A.he was so satisfied with what he had doneB.he had decided to trust MartinC.he saw that he could no longer keep it a secretD.he knew that Martin could not escapeAt present,in many American cities especially,many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid(少付工资的).They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver,which often pay more to start than that of the teacher.In many other fields,such as law,medicine,computer science,a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several year. Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries.(89)It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money---the satisfaction of sharing knowledge,of influencing others,of guiding young people.But in the past several years,there are more difficulties in teaching,for many,than there are rewards.Unruly(不守秩序的)students,especially in big cities,large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.(90)As a result,many of the best students,who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past,are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates(申请求职者)is the changing status of women in the United States.Until the late1960s and1970s,one of the most popular choices for women was teaching.But as other professions,such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs.Thus,a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled(减少).31.Which of the following can give us a true picture of jobs in the United States?A.People in most professions usually get the same pay at the beginning.B.A beginning worker in medicine earns less than one in any other field.C.A beginning teacher earns as much as a truck driver who has worked for several years.D.A teacher with several years’teaching experience can’t make as much as a new lawyer.32.The writer points out the present situation of teaching,that is,_____.A.teaching is a profession that can always attract best students to work inB.teaching can provide rewards as well as high salariesC.teachers work hard and make a small income compared to workers in many other jobsD.teachers are no longer underpaid33.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because of_____.A.the unruly students and large classesB.the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money,support and understandingC.the attracting power of other jobsD.a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others34.Which of the following is not a reason that influences women in their decision to become teachers?A.he How much income the job can pay.B.Changing status of women.C.Less housework for women to do.D.More professions opened up to women.35.The writer believes that change in teachers’status in the United States___.A.is not greatB.needs timecks support from the governmenD.influences people’s attitudesPartIII Vocabulary and structure:Directions:There

passage.You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.Public buses running on Beijing’s streets are more eye-catching compared with their former dull color.66,five or six years ago,when many other Chinese cities began to67 their public buses with68advertisements,Beijing remained unmoved,allegedly69 of consideration for maintaining the stately grace of the capital.But Beijing’s‘lofty posture’did not70long under the pressure of the market economy. Since1993,most public buses have been71with brightly colored ads,many featuring 72images.Public transportation companies were the first group73from the move.The No.300Busalone has annually744million yuan of ad earnings to its company.At the same time, business people are happy to find a comparatively cheap,75widely influential,advertising medium.Advertising on buses,a form quickly accepted by Beijing residents,adds a new76 line to the city,instead of77the capital’s image.The Chinese attitude towards advertisements has changed greatly.78from sight for a long period,commercial ads reappeared in1979,but they were79.Today,however,advertisements are80entering daily life.More and more urban residents are becoming accustomed to81shopping information in this way.82 recent years,the Beijing TV Station83an advertising program,TV Market.The diverse,84forms and practical contents have enabled it to gain high ratings.Advertising is no longer considered non-essential.It is now a major part of the tertiary sector, 85special government attention.66.A.Therefore B.However C.So D.While67.A.decorate B.draw C.perform D.confirm68.A.bright B.gloomy C.colorful D.free69.A.because B.part C.regardless D.outst B.extend C.carry D.detach71.A.wrapped up B.made up C.taken up D.given up72.A.optimistic B.striking C.deluxe D.fake73.A.entertaining B.handicapping C.benefiting D.judging74.A turned out B.turned in C.turned back D.turned over75.A.yet B.so C.for D.or76.A.sight B.scene C.scenery D.scenic77.A.making B.damaging C.revealing D.disappearing78.A.Vanished B.Vanishing C.To vanish D.Having vanished79.A.welcomed B.praised C.considered D.cold-shouldered80.A.decreasingly B.increasingly C.mainly D.importantly81.A.acquire B.be acquired C.acquiring D.being acquired82.A.In B.From C.On D.Around83.A.carried unched C.appeared D.freighted84.A.live B.alive C.lively D.alike85.A.receive B.receives C.received D.receivingPaper TwoPart V Translation(15minutes15%)Directions:Translate the following sentences into Chinese86.Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are clutching at(attempting to seize)one anothers hands for reassurance.87.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.88.Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns.Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter.89.It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money---the satisfaction of sharing knowledge,of influencing others,of guiding young people.90.As a result,many of the best students,who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past,are going into other fields.Part VI WritingDirections:For this part,you are allowed25minutes to write a composition about“Adult Education”in three paragraphs.Your composition should cover the information provided and meet the requirements below.You are given the first sentence of each paragraph and are required to develop the idea in completing the paragraph.年度某地区成人教育学生总数19887,263199216,579199852,305 Requirements:1.Interpret‘Adult Education’in the following table;2.Predict the tendency of the adult education and give your reasons.You should write this composition on the Answer SheetAdult EducationAs is shown in the table,we can see clearly that more and more people are receiving adult education..There are some major reasons for the increase..In spite of what is mentioned above,there are some problems in adult education.2002年答案详细解析The keys and analysis in detail-2002Part II Reading Comprehension我听到很多家长抱怨说他们十几岁的孩子特犟。

Cloze (20 points)Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I. When I was a boy, children always objected 51 wearing school uniform but teachers were 52 on it because they said all of us looked 53 . Otherwise, they said, children would compete with 54 and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have 55 the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear 56 they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans (牛仔裤). One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey (运动套衫) because 57 wants to look different 58 the other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they 59 to be, because this new kind of uniform is one that the children like, not something they have been forced to wear, and it is also 60 cheaper than school uniform used to be.51.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSER SHEET I.Passage OneAs you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England.That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of the se names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is offic ial name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?61. English was first spoken in .A. BritainB. EnglandC. Great BritainD. Ireland62. Britain is divided into .A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland63. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the threeB. Scotland is the largest of the threeC. Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles64. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is .A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage65. Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of IrelandPassage TwoEvery year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas st year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so Ifelt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.66. In January .A. lots of people goshopping for discountB. people have a lot of money to spend after ChristmasC. all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holidayD. people don’t have enough money to go looking for bargains67. In this passage, the word “bargain” could best be replaced by “something ”.A. given to peopleB. offered at a reduced priceC. offered, sold or bought which isexpensiveD. sold for the purpose of reaching an agreement68. The husband and wife in the story .A. wished to buy a TVB. went to the sales the year beforeC. often went to the sales to buy clothesD. were usually not short of money after Christmas69.

After their day’s shopping, they .A. were happy with their bargainsB. had got everything they wantedC. got more than they had hoped forD. had to go back to the sales the next dayPassage ThreeSome people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sport —the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford tothink about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country wassomehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.So, am I arguing that international competitionkills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really, But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.71. What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?A. To explain the role of sportB. To compare Scotland with ArgentinaC. To show that Argentina is better than all othersD. To prove that football is the world’s most important sport72. I n the second paragraph, the word “summit” means “ ”.A. awardB. summaryC. highest pointD. mountain top73. According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its .A. obvious position on the mapB. successes in the football World CupC. excellence at most important sportsD. large number of sports fans and supporters74. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will .A. fail to succeedB. lose enjoymentC. be successfulD. be unreasonable75. What is the author’s attitude towards international games?A. Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefieldB. Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.C. Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports field at least.D. Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.Passage FourWhen the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment thanto anything else, but that’s not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U.S. figures are high——34.8%,and the funlovig Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of another- just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U.K., the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They don’t go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV tha n anything else. That’s understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what’s going on ——and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U.S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.76. Based on this passage, the percentage of TV broadcasting hours devoted to education is greatest in .A. JapanB. ItalyC. CanadaD. the United States77. More news information programs are broadcast on Italian TV than anywhere else because the Italians .A. are interested in what is happening in the worldB. like to undergo social and political changesC. prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapersD. expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their country78. So far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainment are concerned, .A. the Japanese figure is the highest in the worldB. the U. S. figure is smaller than the U.K. figureC. the U.K. figure is second to the Japanese figureD. the Canadian figure is higher than that of any other country79. From this passage, we learn that most TV stations in the world devoted more broadcastinghours to .A. educational programsB. entertainment programsC. news information programsD. dramas, serials, music, sports and so on80. In the United States, .A. TV programs are shown for world audience to watchB. most of TV broadcasting hours are given to entertainmentC. educational programs are shown during peak viewing timesD. TV broadcasting hours devoted to education are more than those devoted to entertainment第II卷V.Translation (20 points)Directions: There are five sentences in Chinese in this part.

The New York Times Sunday edition 36 may contain 350 pages of advertisements. Some radio stations devote 40 minutes of every hour to 37.Then there is television. According to one estimate, American youngsters sit 38 three hours of television commercials each week. By the time they graduate from high school, they will have been 39 360.000 TV ads. Televisions advertise in airports, hospital waiting rooms, and schools.Major sporting 40 are now major advertising events. Racing cars serve as high speed 41 . Some athletes receive most of their money from advertisers. One 42basketball player earned $ 3. 9 million by playing ball. Advertisers paid him nine times that much to43 their products.There is no escape. Commercial ads are displayed on walls, buses, and trucks. They decorate the inside of taxis and subways—even the doors of public toilets. 44 messages call to us in supermarkets, stores, elevators— and 45 we are on hold on the telephone. In some countries so much advertising comes through the mail that many recipients proceed directly from the mailbox to the nearestwastebasket to 46 the junk mail.47 Insider's Report, published by McCann-Erickson, a global advertising agency, theestimated 48 _of money spent on advertising worldwide in 1990 was $ 275.5 billion. Since then, the figures have 49 to $411.6 billion for 1997 and a projected $434.4 billion for 1998. Big money!What is the effect of all of this? One analyst 50 it this way: "Advertising is one of the most powerful socializing forces in the culture. Ads sell more than products. They sell images, values, goals, concepts of who we are and who we should be. They shape our attitudes and our attitudes shape our behavior. "36. A. lonely B. alone C. singly D. individually37.

This is hardly surprising, since a single nuclear bomb can destroy an entire city. Yet, unlike smaller arms, these immensely powerful weapons have not been used in war in over 50 years.Historian John Keegan writes. ''Nuclear weapons have, since August 9, 1945. killed no one. The 50,000.000 who have died in war since that date have for the most part, been killed by cheap,mass-produced weapons and small ammunition, costing little more than the transistor radios which have flooded the world in the same period. Because small weapons have disrupted life very little in the advanced world, outside the restricted localities where drug-dealing and political terrorism flourish, the populations of the rich states have been slow to recognize the horror that this pollution has brought in its train. "Why have small arms become the weapons of choice in recent wars? Part of the reason lies in the relationship between conflict and poverty. Most of the wars fought during the 1990s took place in countries that are poor too poor to buy sophisticated weapon systems. Small arms and light weapons are a bargain. For example, 50 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of a single modern jet fighter, can equip an army with 200,000 assault rifles.Another reason why small weapons are so popular is that they are lethal. A single rapid-fire assault rifle can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. They are also easy to use and maintain. A child of ten can be taught to strip and reassemble a typical assault rifle. A child can also quickly learn to aim and fire that rifle into a crowd of people.The global traffic in guns is complex. The illegal trade of small arms is big. In some African wars, paramilitary groups have bought billions of dollars' worth of small arms and light weapons- not with money, hut with diamonds seized from diamond-mining areas.Weapons are also linked to the illegal trade in drugs. It is not unusual for criminal organizations lo use the same routes to smuggle drugs in one direction and to smuggle guns in the other.51. It is implied in the passage that________.A. small arms-control is more important than nuclear arms-controlB. the nuclear arms-control talks can never reach an agreementC. the power of nuclear weapons to kill people has been diminishedD. nuclear weapons were the topic of arms-control talks 50 years ago52. The advanced world neglect the problems of small arms because.._______.A. They have to deal with drug-dealing and political terrorismB. They have no such problems as are caused by small weaponsC .They have not recognized the seriousness of the problems in timeD. They face other more important problems such as pollution?53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the prevalence of small arms?A. Small arms are cheap.B. Small arms arc powerful.C. Small arms are easier to use,D. Small arms are easier to get.54. We can conclude from the passage that ___.A. small arms are not expensive in the black-marketB. it is unfair to exchange small arms for diamondC .criminals use the same passage to smuggle drugs and small armsD. where there are drugs, there are small arms55. The best title for this passage is________,A. Small Arms Talks. Not Nuclear Arms TalksB. Neglect of Small Arms ControlC. Global Traffic in Small ArmsD. Small Arms. Big ProblemsPassage TwoIn order to combat sickness, many doctors rely heavily on prescribing medicines that are developed and aggressively advertised by pharmaceutical companies. Significantly, the world market for such drugs has skyrocketed in recent decades, from just a few billion dollars a year to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. What has been a consequence?Medically prescribed drugs have helped many people. Yet, the health of some whotake drugs has either remained unchanged or become worse. So, recently some have turned to using other methods of medical treatment.In places where modern, conventional medicine has been the standard of care, many are now turning to what have been called alternative, or complementary, therapies. "The Berlin Wall that has long divided alternative therapies from mainstream medicine appears to be crumbling." said Consumer Reports of May2000.The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) observed. "Alternative medical therapies such as the use of herbs, functionally defined as interventions neither taught widely in medical schools nor generally available in U. S. hospitals, have attracted increased national attention from the media, the medical community, governmental agencies, and the public, "In the past, conventional medical practitioners have been skeptical about alternative medical practices, but 75 medical schools in the United States currently offer elective course work on alternative medicine, including Harvard. Stanford. University of Arizona, and Yale.JAMA noted. "Now an estimated 3 in 5 individuals seeing a medical doctor for a principal condition also used an alternative therapy. And outside the United States, alternative medicine is popular throughout the industrialized world. "The trend toward integrating alternative therapies with conventional ones has long been a general practice in many countries. As JAMA concluded, "There are no longer two types of medicine, conventional and complementary. There is only good medicine and bad medicine. "56. This passage suggests that pharmaceutical companies .A. pay doctors for prescribing their drugsB. have raised the prices of their products sharply in recent yearsC. spend more money on their advertisements than on their productsD. have produced some ineffective drugs57. The sentence "The Berlin Wall... appears to be crumbling" in the third paragraphimplies that ,A. the restrictions on the practice of alternative therapies will be abolishedB. there are still strict restrictions on the practice of alternative drugsC. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are incomparableD. conventional medicine and alternative therapies are completely different remedies58. According to the passage, alternative therapies .A. axe widely taught in the U. S. medical schools nowB. have been approved by U. S. governmentC. have been used by many American patientsD. are as popular as conventional medicine59. JAMA seems to suggest that .A. U. S- government should meet the increasing demands for alternative therapiesB. a medicine is good after it proves to be beneficial to the patientsC .pharmaceutical companies should cover the cost of alternative therapiesD. conventional medicine and alternative medicine should join hands60. It is implied in the passage that .A. we should take as little western medicine as possibleB. the prices of the prescribed medicine should be reducedC. herbal medicine will be accepted by more AmericansD. without the help of alternative medicine, good health can not he guaranteedPassage ThreeOur Milky Way galaxy could contain up to 1 billion Earth-like planets capable of supporting life, scientists announced last week.The theoretical abundance of habitable worlds among the estimated 200 billion stars of our home galaxy suggests that more powerful telescopes might glimpse the faint signature of far-off planet, proving that, in size and temperature at least, we are not alone in the universe.Solar systems such as Earth's, in which planets orbit a star, have been discovered.Astronomers have identified almost 100 planets in orbit around other suns. All are enormous, and of the same gaseous make-up as Jupiter.Barrie Jones of the Open University in UK and his colleague Nick Sleep have worked out how topredict which of the newly discovered solar systems is likely to harbor Earth-like planets.Using a computer, they have created mathematical models of planetary systems and seeded them with hypothetical Earths in "Goldilocks zone" orbits, where it is neither too hot nor too cold to support life.The computer simulates which of these model Earths is likely to be kicked out of its temperate orbit by gravitational effects of the monster planets, and which is likely lo survive.The solar system most like ours discovered so far is 51 light years away, at the star 47 Ursae Majoris, near the group of stars known as the Great Bear.Astronomers have discovered two planets orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris-one is two and half times the size of Jupiter, the other slightly smaller. Both planets are relatively close to the Goldilocks zone, which is further out than ours because 47 Ursae Majoris is older, hotter and brighter than the sun."It's certainly a system worth exploring for an Earth-like planet and for life." said Jones. The requirement for a life-supporting zone in any solar system is that water should be able to exist in a liquid state,NASA and its European counterpart, ESA, plan to launch instruments in the next 10 years which could produce pictures of Earth-sized planet.-..61. It is suggested in this passage that .A. scientists have found evidence to prove there are many Earth-like planets in ourgalaxyB. theoretically there are a great number of Earth-like planets capable of supportinglifeC. our Earth is the only planet in our galaxy that can support lifeD. with more powerful telescopes, scientists will be able to find more galaxies in the universe62. The "Goldilocks zone" mentioned in the 5th paragraph most probably meansA. a certain fixed distance between a planet and sunB. a range in the universe in which the planets' temperature is suitable for lifeC. a range in the universe in which the planets can receive enough sunlightD. a mathematical model to measure the size of the planetary system63. Barrie Jones And Nick Sleep have found .A. 100 planets orbiting around other stars like our sunB. many planets' atmosphere has the same composition as JupiterC. the ways lo tell which solar system may have Earth-like planetsD. a mathematical model to measure the distance of newly found solar-systems64. So far, the solar system most like ours that has been discovered is _ _.A. in the group of stars known as Great BearB. 2. 5 times as big as JupiterC. smaller than our systemD. impossible for us to reach at present time.65. The most important requirement to have a life-supporting zone m any solar systemis that it must have .A. enough water and proper temperatureB. enough oxygen and hydrogenC. enough air and sunlightD. enough water in any slatePassage FourHaving abandoned his call for higher gasoline prices. Vice President Al Gore has another idea to get people out of their cars- Spend billions on mass transit- $25 billion to be exact. Last week. Gore unveiled his "Keep America Moving" initiative, which will spend $25 billion on upgrading and improvingmass-transit systems nationwide. According to Gore's self-proclaimed "new way of thinking" all that's necessary to reduce traffic congestion is to "give people a choice."The federal government has been trying to "give people a choice" for decades to little effect. Portionsof the federal gasoline tax have already been used to support urban bus and rail systems. Despite years of subsidies, few urban-transit systems run in the black. They don't do much to reduce congestion either. No matter how much the taxpayers paid for the planned transit systems. Americans prefer the autonomy offered by their automobiles.The vice president praised the Portland light-rail system as an example of how good mass transit can be. Yet Portland s experience is more cautionary tale than exemplary model. Research by the Cascade Policy Institute demonstrates that Portland's Metro has been a multi-million-dollar mistake. According to Metro s own figures, the light-rail system is doing little to reduce congestion, as most of its riders used to ride the bus.Those riders that do come off the roads, come at an incredible price: $62 per round trip. Road improvements and expansion would do far more to reduce congestion at a fraction of the cost, but they wouldn't attract the same volume of federal funds.66. According to the author, the mass-transit systems .A. are characterized by low consumption of gasolineB. have contributed little to the improvement of the trafficC. aim at monitoring the public trafficD. are financially profitable67. What does the author say about the federal government?A. It has recently begun to address the problem of traffic congestion.B. It fails to provide enough funds to help reduce traffic congestion.C. Its attempt to reduce traffic congestion is successful but costly.D. It has not done much to reduce congestion by improving roads.68. What is said about Americans' attitude toward the transit systems?A. They are reluctant to pay taxes to support the transit systems.B. They think driving their own cars is more convenient.C. They prefer the policies of improving and expanding roads.D. They think there should be more choices in transportation.69. In the third paragraph, the underlined expression "cautionary tale" most probablymeans .A. an incredible storyB. an untrue storyC. a story giving a warningD. a story teaching a moral lesson70. Which of the following statements would the author probably agree to?A. In spite of federal funds, most urban-transit systems have financial problems.B. The American public should become more aware of the need to reduce trafficcongestion.C. The attempt to expand roads would be as costly as the one to build a light-railsystem.D. The federal gasoline tax should be raised to support urban-transit system.Passage FiveIn all of the industrial countries and many less developed countries, a debate along the lines of government vs. business prevails. This struggle has gone on for so long, and is so pervasive, that many who participate in it have come to think of these two social institutions as natural and permanent enemies, each striving to oppose the other.Viewing the struggle in that format diminishes the chance of attaining more harmonious relations between government and business. Moreover, if these two are seen as natural and deadly enemies, then business has no long-range future. It is self-evident that government, as the only social instrument that can legally enforce its will by physical control, must win any struggle that is reduced to naked power.A more realistic, and most constructive, approach to the conflict between business and governmentstarts by noticing the many ways in which they are dependent on each other. Business cannot exist without social order. Business can and does generate its own order, its own regularities of procedure and behavior but at bottom these rest up on more fundamental patterns of order which can be maintained and evolved by the political state.The dependence of government on business is less absolute. Governments can absorb direct responsibility for organizing economic functions. In many cases, ancient and modern, government-run economic activities seem to have operated at a level of efficiency not markedly inferior to comparable work organized by business. If society's sole purpose is to achieve a bare survival for its members, there can be no substantial objection to governmental absorption of economic arrangements.71. Many people think government and business are "enemies" because ,A. the struggle between the two parties has always existedB. they based their belief on the experience of the industrial countriesC. they believe that government can do better than business in economic activitiesD. the struggle between the two parties is so fierce that neither will survive in the end72. The third paragraph mainly discusses .A. how government and business depend on each otherB. why social order is important to business activitiesC. why it is necessary for business to rely on governmentD. how business can develop and maintain order73. What does the passage say about economic activities organized by government?A. They mostly aim at helping people to survive.B. They can be conducted as well as those by business.C. They are the ones that business cannot do well.D. They are comparatively modern phenomena.74. We can conclude from the passage that ,A. it is difficult for government and business to have good relationsB. it is difficult to study the relations between government and businessC. government should dominate economic activitiesD. government and business should not oppose each otherPassage SixStanding up for what you believe in can be tough. Sometimes it's got to be done,but the price can be high.Biochemist Jeffrey Wigand found this out the hard way when he took on his formeremployer, tobacco giant Brown & Williamson, over its claim that cigarettes were not addictive. So too did climate modeler Ben Santer when he put his name to a UN report which argued that it is people who are warming the planet. Both men found themselves under sustained attacks. Wigand from Brown & Williamson, Santer from the combined might of the oil and car industries.The two men got into their dreadful predicaments by totally different routes. But they had one thing in common-they fought powerful vested interests (既得利益者) with scientific data that those interests wished would go away.Commercial companies are not. of course, the only vested interests in town. Governments have a habit of backing the ideas of whoever pays the most tax. Academia also has its version: scientific theories often come with fragile egos and reputations still attached, and supporters of those theories can be overly resistant to new ideas.For example, Alfred Wegener's idea that the continents drift across the surface of the planet was laughed at when he proposed it in 1915. This idea was only accepted finally in the 1960s, when plate tectonics came of age. More recently, in 1982, Stanley Prusiner was labeled crazy for his controversial suggestion that infectious diseases such as BSE (疯牛病) were caused by a protein that self-replicated. A decade later, the notion had gained ground. Finally, in 1997, he received a Nobel Prize for his idea.Western science has always thrived on individualism-one person's ambition to topple a theory. So independence of thought is crucial. But this applies not only for scientists, but also their institutions.。

the passages is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn the United States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity.Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory,but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.Some people like rockmusic,for example,and others may like jazz or classical music.Some people are runners or swimmers,and others are“couch(睡椅)potatoes”who“surf”the television channels with a remote control.Some go to museums while others spend long hours at a shopping centre.These kinds of choices are ways that people define themselves.It hasn’t always been this way.“Leisure time”was almost unknown in the United States in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.When most people worked on farms,the workday was from sunrise to sunset every day except Sunday,which was devoted to church.Later,with the rise of factories and city populations,people worked equally long hours and had only Sunday for rest.Some people did many of the things then that they do now—attend concerts,have parties,go to restaurants.read novels,or play sports—but to a much lesser extent.Slowly,throughout the twentieth century,leisure time grew.Technology made farm workless burdensome.and changes in laws shortened the factory work day and week.New inventions such as the phonograph(留声机)and the radio gave people access to music and mass entertainment on a scale unknown before.People gradually became consumers of entertainment,and businesses competed fiercely for their dollars.For many people leisure time means going somewhere—to a museum , to a concert , to a restaurant, or to a baseball game , for example. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball,backpacking,swimming,biking,or playing in a park with their children.For other people free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment,such as a VCR,stereo(立体声系统),or cable TV with dozens of channels.Others pursue creative activities such as cooking,gardening,and home improvement.The latest stay-at-home activity is “surfing the net”—that is.looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.People in the United States are basically not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time.The real difference may lie in the energy,time,money,and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.21.“Couch potatoes”in paragraph 1 refers to those who .A.control their viewing of TV programs B.are happy watching situation comedies C.watch TV while eating potato chips D.are crazy about watching TV programs 22.According to the passage,in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,some Americans .A.worked from sunrise to sunset seven days a weekB.preferred working in factories to working on farmsC.had many of the leisure time activities that people now haveD.fought for shorter working hours and more leisure time23.Apart from technology,the growing leisure time throughout the twentieth century is also due to.A.changes in laws B.mass entertainmentC.new types of consumption D.competitive businesses24.In terms of leisure time activities,people in the United States.A.enjoy a larger variety than people in other countriesB.are not much different from people in other countriesC.enjoy more stay—at—home activities such as“surfing the net’’D.are less energetic and enthusiastic than othersPassage TwoWhether you are logging on to your personal computer,using a credit card,or disarming a door security system,passwords orPINs(personal identification numbers)jealously guard access to numerous regular operations.It is estimated that within ten years,consumers could be faced with handling more than 100 passwords! Given the popularity of passwords,how Can you choose ones that are sufficiently complicated to be secure yet are simple enough to remember?There are basic guidelines to bear in mind.First,the don’ts.Don’t use as a password your name or that of a member of your family,even in modified form.Also avoid use of your telephone number,your Social Security number,or your address.Such information Can easily be obtained by a determined hacker(黑客).In addition,if possible,don’t use passwords made up entirely of letters or digits.A relatively simple computer program can crack such a code quickly.Finally,do not use a word that can be found in any dictionary,even a foreign-language one.Huge lists areavailable that contain words,place names,and proper names from all languages.Programs can test for variations of these words,such as if they are spelled backward,capitalized,or combined.So,what kinds of passwords should be used? Usually ones that have a minimum of six to eight characters and that have a mixture of upper—and lower-case letters,digits,and punctuation(标点)symbols.How difficult is it to crack such a combination of characters? One source says that“a machine that could try one million passwords per second would require,on the average,over one hundred years.”How can you choose a combination that is easy to remember?Some suggest that you take the title of a favorite book or film or a line from a song or poem and use the first letter from each word as your password,adding capital letters,punctuation,or other characters.For example,“to be or not to be”could become“2B/not2B”.Other suggestions include taking twoshort words and link them with a punctuation character.such as“High。

the passages is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn the United States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity.Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory,but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.Some people like rock music,for example,and others may like jazz or classical music.Some people are runners or swimmers,and others are“couch(睡椅)potatoes”who“surf”the television channels with a remote control.Some go to museums while others spend long hours at a shopping centre.These kinds of choices are ways that people define themselves.It hasn‘t always been this way.“Leisure time”was almost unknown in the United States in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.When most people worked on farms,the workday was from sunrise to sunset every day except Sunday,which was devoted to church.Later,with the rise of factories and city populations,people worked equally long hours and had only Sunday for rest.Some people did many of the things then that they do now—attend concerts,have parties,go to restaurants.read novels,or play sports—but to a much lesser extent.Slowly,throughout the twentieth century,leisure time grew.Technology made farm work less burdensome.and changes in laws shortened the factory work day and week.New inventions such as the phonograph(留声机)and the radio gave people access to music and mass entertainment on a scale unknown before.People gradually became consumers of entertainment,and businesses competed fiercely for their dollars.For many people leisure time means going somewhere—to a museum , to a concert , to a restaurant, or to a baseball game , for example. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball,backpacking,swimming,biking,or playing in a park with their children.For other people free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment,such as a VCR,stereo(立体声系统),or cable TV with dozens of channels.Others pursue creative activities such as cooking,gardening,and home improvement.The latest stay-at-home activity is“surfing the net”—that is.looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.People in the United States are basically not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time.The real difference may lie in the energy,time,money,and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.21.“Couch potatoes”in paragraph 1 refers to those who .A.control their viewing of TV programs B.are happy watching situation comediesC.watch TV while eating potato chips D.are crazy about watching TV programs22.According to the passage,in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,some Americans .A.worked from sunrise to sunset seven days a weekB.preferred working in factories to working on farmsC.had many of the leisure time activities that people now haveD.fought for shorter working hours and more leisure time23.Apart from technology,the growing leisure time throughout the twentieth century is also due to.A.changes in laws B.mass entertainmentC.new types of consumption D.competitive businesses24.In terms of leisure time activities,people in the United States.A.enjoy a larger variety than people in other countriesB.are not much different from people in other countriesC.enjoy more stay—at—home activities such as“surfing the net’’D.are less energetic and enthusiastic than othersPassage TwoWhether you are logging on to your personal computer,using a credit card,or disarming a door security system,passwords or PINs(personal identification numbers)jealously guard access to numerous regular operations.It is estimated that within ten years,consumers could be faced with handling more than 100 passwords! Given the popularity of passwords,how Can you choose ones that are sufficiently complicated to be secure yet are simple enough to remember?There are basic guidelines to bear in mind.First,the don‘ts.Don‘t use as a password your name or that of a member of your family,even in modified form.Also avoid use of your telephone number,your Social Security number,or your address.Such information Can easily be obtained by a determined hacker(黑客).In addition,if possible,don‘t use passwords made up entirely of letters or digits.A relatively simple computer program can crack such a code quickly.Finally,do not use a word that can be found in any dictionary,even a foreign-language one.Huge lists are available that contain words,place names,and proper names from all languages.Programs can test for variations of these words,such as if they are spelled backward,capitalized,or combined.So,what kinds of passwords should be used? Usually ones that have a minimum of six to eight characters and that have a mixture of upper—and lower-case letters,digits,and punctuation(标点)symbols.How difficult is it to crack such a combination of characters? One source says that“a machine that could try one million passwords per second would require,on the average,over one hundred years.”How can you choose a combination that is easy to remember?Some suggest that you take the title of a favorite book or film or a line from a song or poem and use the first letter from each word as your password,adding capital letters,punctuation,or other characters.For example,“to be or not to be”could become“2B/not2B”.Other suggestions include taking two short words and link them with a punctuation character.such as“High。

At the end of the examination hand in both this question paper and your Answer Sheet.INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATESThere are forty-five questions on this question paper.PART ONEQuestions 1 – 7●Look at the statements below and the book reviews on the opposite page.●Which analyst's advice (A, B, C or D) does each statement 1 - 7 refer to?●For each statement 1 - 7, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.●You will need to use some of these letters more than once.1 It looks at how business organisations can affect the environment.2 It contains practical advice for people involved in data collection.3 It claims that earlier analyses of this aspect of organisations were too simplistic.4 It examines contrasting approaches to staff selection.5 It gives a better explanation of the issues than other books on the subject.6 It draws on the personal experience of the writers.7 It looks at how external influences can impact on the effectiveness of managers.AMANAGERS IN THE MAKINGAs examples of organizational and ‘market’ approaches to society, Japan and Britain provide a useful contrast, showing the national and cultural factors which affect the performance of executives. There is extensive research data behind this book, and key areas of comparison between the two countries include their different systems of recruitment and their diverse attitudes both to management control and the work environment.BAnalysing OrganisationsThis book provides support for managers who need to plan organizational research witha step-by-step. ‘how-to’ guide. The authors describe each part of the process, the advantages and disadvantages that result from many of the choices that must be made, and the lessons they have learnt from years spent designing and conducting surveys. The sections on research into recruitment and employment relationships are particularly informative.CThe Culture Of OrganisationsThis book looks at the culture of business organizations and the writers suggest that this is more complex and diverse than had previously been recognized. A variety of different and non-traditional research settings across industries are represented, including a car plant in Slovenia, a US software developer and a Korean electronics company.DImages Of OrganisationsThis book shows how organizations can be managed and designed in new ways. There are chapters on the complexity of corporate culture, and on how managers can deal with the negative impact organizations may have on society and the natural world. No other publication covers the arguments so clearly while developing the implications for management with such force.PART TWOQuestions 8 – 12●Read the article below about a recruitment company.●Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.●For each gap 8 - 12, mark one letter (A ~ G) on your Answer Sheet.●Do not use any letter more than once.●There is an example at the beginning (0).PROSPECTS ARE GROWINGJane Woodford, head of Prospects recruitment group, talks about how the company is set to grow.How many jobs have managing directors reading this article had already? Five? More than ten? Wall, Jane Woodford, head of the Prospects recruitment group, has had an amazing seventeen jobs. Woodford has kept a careful count of jobs, which include working in fast food, at a theatre and as a dress-maker. (0) ..G.. In February of this year, after several years as a partner in the business, she became the managing director of the Prospects group.Prospects was started in 1988 as the Job Shop group, by Hilary Marks. A former estate agent, she decided to go it alone and launched the company in a three-metre by three-metre office, after a downturn in the property market. (8)......‘I don't think she believed she could find anybody who cared as much about her 'baby' as she did,’ says Woodford.Surely it must, have been difficult for Marks when Woodford became the MD and she became marketing director? Yes, Woodford agrees it was: 'It was extremely hard for Hilary, because originally she had been her own boss. But how to manage changes in the company was something we all had to learn about,’ (9)...... Some benefited from this opportunity while others didn't, though the company has only lost two of its long-serving managers.The change in the head of the company happened at the same time as the company's name changed. A brainstorming session between Woodford, Marks and their accountant produced the name Prospects. The company now has three separate trading divisions, each with its own internal management structure. One of Prospects' operations, New Directions, provides IT training for clients and courses about employment affairs for students, teachers and educational advisers. (10) ...... 'We need tom be closely involved with the educational system,’ she says.Always looking to encourage and motivate staff, Prospects has appointed team leaders, giving them extra responsibility for dealing with the company's accounts, budgeting and day-to-day operations. (11) ...... 'We accept that they may go on to become directors of other companies,' Woodford explains.So, what are Woodford's own ambitions for Prospects? 'I'd like to consolidate all the work we have already done a nd continue to build up a good team of people,’ she replies simply. (12) ...... ' When a recruiter has been with us for three years we offer financial bonuses towards the cost of opening his or her own Prospects branch,' she says.A The reasoning behind this decision was that these people will help the company toprogress, and yet their own careers will benefit at the same time.B Originally, she wasn't looking for a business partner at all.C She joined the company in 1995 as business development manager, and became ashareholder in 1996 and a director in 1997 before taking on her current position.D Woodford sees this activity as particularly important for Prospects becauserecruitment isn't something she believes should stand on its own.E She is also keen for her trusted consultants, as she calls them, to share in thecompany's success through its internal reward scheme.F Discussion groups were set up to help staff at every level make the necessaryadjustments.G This very wide experience of working life has without a doubt helped her as a highlysuccessful recruiter.PART THREEQuestions 13 – 18●Read the article below about Smithson’s, a British department store, and thequestions on the opposite page.●For each question 13 - 18, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet forthe answer you choose.Department Store MagicFor most of the 20th century Smithson's was one of Britain's most successful department stores, but by the mid-1990s, it had become dull. Still profitable, thanks largely to .a series of successful advertising campaigns, but decidedly boring. The famous were careful not to be seen there, and its sales staff didn't seem to have changed since the store opened in 1908. Worst of all, its customers were buying fewer and fewer of its own-brand products, the major part of its business, and showing a preference for more fashionable brands.But now all this has changed, thanks to Rowena Baker, who became Smithson's first woman Chief Executive three years ago. Since then, while most major retailers in Britain have been losing money, Smithson's profits have been rising steadily. When Baker started, a lot of improvements had just been made to the building, without having any effect on sales, and she took the bold decision to invite one of Europe's most exciting interior designers to develop the fashion area, the heart of the store. This very quickly led to rising sales, even before the goods on display were changed. And as sales grew, so did profits.Baker had ambitious plans for the store from the start. 'We're playing a big game, to prove we're up there with the leaders in our sector, and we have to make sure people get that message. Smithson's had fallen behind the co)repetition. It provided a traditional service targeted at middle-aged, middle-income customers, who'd been shopping there for years, and the customer base was gradually contracting. Our idea is to sell such an exciting variety of goods that everyone will want to come in, whether they plan to spend a little or a lot.' Baker's vision for the store is clear, but achieving it is far from simple. At first, many employees resisted her improvements because they just wouldn't be persuaded that there was anything wrong with the way they'd always done things, even if they accepted that the store had to overtake its competitors. It took many long meetings, involving the entire workforce, to win their support. It helped when they realised that Baker was a very different kind of manager from the ones they had known.Baker's staff policies contained more surprises. The uniform that had hardly changed since day one has now disappeared. Moreover, teenagers now get young shop assistants, and staff in the sports departments are themselves sports fans in trainers. As Baker explains, 'How can you sell jeans if you're wearing a black suit? Smithson's has a new identity, and this needs to be made clear to the customers.' She's also given every sales assistant responsibility for ensuring customer satisfaction, even if it means occasionally breaking company rules in the hope that this will help company profits.Rowena Baker is proving successful, but the City's big investors haven't been persuaded. According to retail analyst, John Matthews, 'Money had already been invested in refurbishment of the store and in fact that led to the boost in sales. She took the credit, but hadn't done anything to achieve it. And in my view the company's shareholders are not convinced. The fact is that unless she opens several more stores pretty soon, Smithson's profits will start to fall because turnover at the existing store will inevitably start to decline.'13 According to the writer, in the mid-1990s Smithson's department storeA was making a loss.B had a problem keeping staff.C was unhappy with its advertising agency.D mostly sold goods under the Smithson's name.14 According to the writer, Smithson's profits started rising three years ago becauseofA an improvement in the retailing sector.B the previous work done on the store..C Rowena Baker's choice of designer.D a change in the products on sale.15 According to Rowena Baker, one problem which Smithson's faced when she joined wasthatA the number of people using the store was falling slowly.B its competitors offered a more specialised range of products.C the store's prices were set at the wrong level.D customers were unhappy with the service provided.16 According to the writer, many staff opposed Baker's plans becauseA they were unwilling to change their way of working.B they disagreed with her goals for the store.C they felt they were not consulted enough about the changes.D they were unhappy with her style of management.17 Baker has changed staff policies because she believes thatA the corporate image can be improved through staff uniforms.B the previous rules were not fair to customers.C customers should be able to identify with the staff serving them.D employees should share in company profits.18 What problem does John Matthews think Smithson's is facing?A More money needs to be invested in the present store.B The company's profits will only continue to rise if it expands.C The refurbishment of the store is proving unpopular with customers.D Smithson's shareholders expect a quick return on~ their investments.PART FOURQuestions 19 – 33●Read the advice below about how to make meetings more effective.●Choose the best word to fill each gap from A, B, C or D on the opposite page.●For each question 19 - 33, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.●There is an example at the beginning, (0).Many people feel that meetings are a complete (0) ...D... of time and try to avoid them.

2002年6月北京成人本科学位英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有: 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 4. IdentificationPart I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an “objective”test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.1.In the Middle Ages students ______.A.took objective testsB.specialized in one subjectC.were timed by electric clocksD.never wrote exams正确答案:D解析:答案在第二段提到。

02年职称英语考试综合类(A级)试题及答案
02年职称英语考试综合类(A级)试题及答案5第二篇Characteristics of PublieityPublicity offers several benefits.There are no costs for message time or space.An ad in prime-time television may cost$250,000 to$500,000 or more per minute,whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything.However,there are costs for news releases, a publicity department,and other items.As with advertising,publicity reaches a mass audience.Within a short time,new products or company policies are widely known.Line 5Credibility about messages is high,because they are reported in independent media.A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper,because the reader associates independence with objectivity.Similarly,people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads.For example,The Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements.Readers spend time reading the stories,but they flip through(浏览)the ads.Furhermore,there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine.Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations.A firm has little control over messages,their timing,their placement,or their coverage by a given medium.It may issue dctailed news releases and find only portions cited by the media;and media have the ability to be much more critical than a company would like.For example.in 1 982,Procter&Gamble faced a substantial publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo(标志).A few ministers and other private citizens believed that the symbol was sacrilegious(亵渎的).These beliefs were covered extensively by the media and resulted in the firm receiving 1 5,000 phonecalls about the rumor in June alone.To combat this negative publicity,the firm issued news releases featuring prominent clergy(神父) that refuted(消除)the rumors,threatened to sue(控告)those people spreading the stories,and had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America.The media.cooperated with the company and the false rumors were temporarily put to rest.However, in 1985,negative publicity became so disruptive that Procter&Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods,such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened.but the media may not cover the introduetion or openmg until after the time it would aid the firm.Similarly,the media determine the placement of a story;it may follow areport on crime or sports.Finally,the media determine whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it.A company-sponsored jobs program might go unreported or receive three.sentence coverage in a local newspaper.36 The word”mass”in Line 5 could best be replaced byA grouped.B crowded.C gathered.D large.37 The second paragraph implies that people are more likely to believe storiesA in a newspaper than in a women’s daily.B in a newspaper than in a magazine.C in an independent newspaper than in a dependent newspaper.D in a magazine than in a local newspaper.38 According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?A A firm can control and time publicity accurately.B A firm can neither control nor time publicity accurately.C A firm can either control or time publicity accurately.D In most cases a firm can control and time publicity accurately.39 The example in Paragraph 4 is intended to demonstrateA the power of publicity.B the victim of publicity.C the terrible effects of rumors.D the vulnerability of people to publicity.40 The passage implies thatA the placement of a story is not quite important.B the report of a crime may not be true.C local newspapers are not interested in company-sponsored programs.D publicity is not always necessary.。

The problem here is that the Department of Employment has the right to 41 or refuse these permits, and there is little that can be 42 about it, it would be extremely unwise 43 a foreign visitor to work without a permit, since anyone doing so is 44 to immediate deportation. There are some 45 to this rule, most notably people from the Common Market countries, who are 46to work without permits and who are often given temporary residence permits of up to five years. Some 47 people, such as doctors, foreign journalists, authors and others, can work without permits.The problem with the Act is not just that some of its rules are unfair but 48 itis administered, and the people who administer it.An immigration official has the power to stop 2 visitor 49these shores coming into the country, if this happens the visitor has the 50 to appeal to the Immigration Appeal Tribunal.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked , B, C, and D, you should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET I with a pencil.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:Shoppers who have flocked to online stores for their holiday shopping are losing privacy with every mouse click, according to a new report. The study by the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center scrutinized(仔细审查)privacy policies on 100 of the most popular online shopping sites and compared those policies with a set of basic privacy principles that have come to be known as “fair information practices.”The group found that none of the 100 sites met all of the basic criteria for privacy protection, which include giving notice of what information is collected and how it is used, offering consumers a choice over whether the information will be used in certain ways, allowing access to data that give consumers a chance to see and correct the information collected, and instituting the kind of security measures that ensure that information won’t fall into the wrong hands.“This study shows that somebody else, other than Santa, is reading your Christmas list,”said Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Media Education, which also worked on the survey.The online privacy of children is protected by Federal Trade Commission rules, but adults do not share the same degree of privacy protection. The movement, like theonline shopping industry, favors selfregulation over imposition of further movement restrictions on electronic commerce.”Marc Rosenberg, executive director of the privacy group, said the study shows that self regulations have failed, “We need legislation to enforce fair information pretences,” he said. “Consumers are at greeter risk than they were in 1997,” when the group released its first report. The survey also asked whether the 100 sites used”profilebased”advertising, and whether the sites incorporate “cookies ”technology, which gives Web sites basic information on visitors. Profiling is the practice of gathering in then used to create targeted advertising on Wed sites.All but 18 of the top shopping sites did display a privacy policy, a major improvement over the early days of electronic commerce, when such policies were scarce.

What does the passage mainly talk about?/A. Mare Rosenberg’s study on self-regulation.B. Some online problems found by a privacy group’s study.C. Adults and children are different.D. Online security measures.Questions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage: Suppose you go into a fritterer’s shop, wanting an apple-you take up one, and on biting it you find it is sour; you look at it, and see that it is hard and green. You take up another one, and that, too, is hard, green, and sour. The shipman offers you a third; but, before biting it, you examine it, and find that it is hard and green, and you immediately say that you will not have it, as it must be sour, like those that you have already tried.Nothing can be more simple than that, you think; but if you will take the trouble to analyze and trace out into its logical elements what has been done by the mind, you will be greatly surprised. In the first place you have performed the operation of induction You find that, in two experiences, hardness and greenness in apples went together with sourness. It was so in the first case, and it was confirmed by the second. Trued, it is a very small basis, but still it is enough from which to make an induction; you generalize the facts, and you expect to find spumes in apples where you get hardness and greenness. You found upon that a general law, that all hard and green apples are sour; and that, so far as it goes, is a perfect induction. Well, having got your natural law in this way, when you are offered another apple which you find it hard and green ,you say, “AII hard and green apples are sour; this apple is hard and green; therefore, this apple is sour.”That train of reasoning is what logicians call a syllogism ,and has all its various parts and terms-its major premises, its minor premises, and its conclusion, And by the help of further reasoning, which, if drawnout, would have to be exhibited in two or three other syllogisms, you arrive at your final determination, “I will not have that apple.” So that, you see, you have,in the first place, established a law by induction, and upon that you have founded a deduction, and reasoned out the special particular case. Well now, suppose, having got your conclusion of the law, that at some times afterwards, you are discussing the qualitiesof apple with a friend; you will say to him, “It isa very curious thing, but I find that all hard and green apples are sour!” Your friend says to you, “But how do you know that?” You at once reply, “On, becauseI have tried them over ad over again, and have always found them to be so.” Well, if we ware talking science instead of common sense, we should call that an experimental verification. And, if still opposed, you go further, and say, “I have heard from people, In Somerset shire and Devon shire and Devon shire, where a large number of apples are grown, and in London, where many apples are sold and eaten, that they have observed the same thing it is also found to be the case in Normandy, and in North America, in short, I find it to be the universal experience of mankind wherever attention has been directed to the subject.”Whereupon, your friend, unless he is a very unreasonable man, agrees with you, and is convinced that you are quite right in the conclusion you have drawn He believes, although perhaps he does not know he believes it, that the more extensive verifications have been made, and results of the same kind arrived at –that the more varied the conditions under which the same results are attained, the more certain is the ultimate conclusion, and he disputes the question no further. He sees that the experiment has been tried under all sorts ofconditions, as to time, place, and people, with the same result; and he says with you, therefore, that the law you have laid down must be a good one, and he must believe it./55. Apples are used . A. in order to convince the reader that fruit has no intellectB. to illustrate the subject of the passageC. to give color to the storyD. to show how foolish logic is56. the term” natural law ” as it appears in the text refers to .

The writer is probablyA. FrenchB. EnglishC. AmericanD. None of the aboveQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:Government is not made in virtue of natural rights, which may and do exist in total independence of it; and exist in much greater clearness, and in a much greater degree of abstract perfection; but their abstract perfection is their practical defect. By having a right to everything, men want everything, Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. Men have a right that these wants should be provided for by this wisdom. Among these wants is to be reckoned the want, out of civil society, of a sufficient restraint upon their passions. Society requires not only that the passions of individuals should be subjected, but that even in the mass and body, as well as in the individuals, the inclinations of men should frequently be thwarted ,their will controlled, and their passions brought into subjection. This can only be done by a power out of themselves; and not, in the exercise of its function, subject to that will and those passions which it is its office to bridle and subdue. In this sense, the liberties and the restrictions vary with times and circumstances, and admit to infinite modifications, they cannot be settled upon byany abstract rule; and nothing is so foolish as to discuss them upon that principle.The moment you abate anything from the full rights o men ,each to golem himself ,and suffer any artificial, positive limitation upon those rights, from that moment the whole organization of government becomes a consideration of convenience. This it is which makes the contusion of a state, and the due distribution of its powers, a matter of the most delicate and complicated skill. It requires a deep knowledge of human nature and human necessities, and of the thugs that facilitate or obstruct the various ends, which are to be pursued bythe mechanism of civil institutions .The state is to have recruits to its strength, and remedies to its distempers. What is the use of discussing a man’s abstract right to food and medicine? The question is upon the method of procuring and administering them. In that deliberation, I shall always advise to call in the and of the farmer and the physician, rather than the professor of metaphysics (形而上学)。

Each of the passages is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn the United States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity. Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory, but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are. Some people like rock music, for example, and others may like jazz or classical music. Some people are runners or swimmers, and others are “couch(睡椅)potatoes” who “surf” the television channels with a remote control. Some go to museums while others spend long hours at a shopping centre. These kinds of choices are ways that people define themselves.It hasn’t always been this way. “Leisure time” was almost unknown in the United States in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. When most people worked on farms, the workday was from sunrise to sunset every day except Sunday, which was devoted to church. Later, with the rise of factories and city populations, people worked equally long hours and had only Sunday for rest. Some people did many of the things then that they do now—attend concerts, have parties, go to restaurants. read novels, or play sports—but to a much lesser extent.Slowly, throughout the twentieth century, leisure time grew. Technology made farm work less burdensome, and changes in laws shortened the factory work day and week. New inventions such as the phonograph(留声机)and the radio gave people access to music and mass entertainment on a scale unknown before. People gradually became consumers of entertainment, and businesses competed fiercely for their dollars.For many people leisure time means going somewhere—to a museum, to a concert, to a restaurant, or to a baseball game, for example. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball, backpacking, swimming, biking, or playing in a park with their children. For otherpeople free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment, such as a VCR, stereo(立体声系统), or cable TV with dozens of channels. Others pursue creative activities such as cooking, gardening, and home improvement. The latest stay-at-home activity is “surfing the net”—that is, looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.People in the United States are basically not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time. The real difference may lie in the energy, time, money, and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.21. “Couch potatoes” in paragraph 1 refers to those who _____.A. control their viewing of TV programsB. are happy watching situation comediesC. watch TV while eating potato chipsD. are crazy about watching TV programs22. According to the passage, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, some Americans _____ .A. worked from sunrise to sunset seven days a weekB. preferred working in factories to working on farmsC. had many of the leisure time activities that people now haveD. fought for shorter working hours and more leisure time23. Apart from technology, the growing leisure time throughout the twentieth century is also due to _____.A. changes in lawsB. mass entertainmentC. new types of consumptionD. competitive businesses24. In terms of leisure time activities, people in the United States_____.A. enjoy a larger variety than people in other countriesB. are not much different from people in other countriesC. enjoy more stay—at—home activities such as “surfing the net’’D. are less energetic and enthusiastic than othersPassage TwoWhether you are logging on to your personal computer, using a credit card, or disarming a door security system, passwords or PINs (personal identification numbers)jealously guard access to numerous regular operations. It is estimated that within ten years, consumers could be faced with handling more than 100 passwords! Given the popularity of passwords, how Can you choose ones that are sufficiently complicated to be secure yet are simple enough to remember?There are basic guidelines to bear in mind. First, the don’ts. Don’t use as a password your name or that of a member of your family, even in modified form. Also avoid use of your telephone number, your Social Security number, or your address. Such information Can easily be obtained by a determined hacker(黑客).In addition, if possible, don’t use passwords made up entirely of letters or digits. A relatively simple computer program can crack such a code quickly. Finally, do not use a word that can be found in any dictionary, even a foreign-language one. Huge lists are available that contain words, place names, and proper names from all languages. Programs can test for variations of these words, such as if they are spelled backward, capitalized, or combined.So, what kinds of passwords should be used? Usually ones that have a minimum of six to eight characters and that have a mixture of upper—and lower-case letters, digits, and punctuation(标点)symbols. How difficult is it to crack such a combination of characters? One source says that “a machine that could try one million passwords per second would require, on theaverage, over one hundred years.”How can you choose a combination that is easy to remember?Some suggest that you take the title of a favorite book or film or a line from a song or poem and use the first letter from each word as your password, adding capital letters, punctuation, or other characters. For example, “to be or not to be” could become “2B/not2B”.Other suggestions include taking two short words and link them with a punctuation character. such as “High。
