Each of the passages is followed by 5 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 OneThe rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselves—and not to turn into spoiled successors.Nicola Horlick or “supermum”, a famous British billionaire, owing to fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids has spent her career making a reported £250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. “I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,” Horlick told the report’s authors. “I w ill not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives.”She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. Bill Gates has put an estimated $30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2023, by another $24bn or so from his friend Warren Buffett.Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket—her father lent her $20, then promptly made her write him a check. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy,” he has said, “is like saying the members of America’s 2023 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team.”Anita Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body Shop Foundation, which isn’t one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take themoney and give it away.31.The billionaires mentioned in the passage don’t want toleave much of their wealth to their children because ________.A. they prefer to give their wealth to charityB. they want their business to go on healthilyC. they believe too much wealth will harm their childrenD. they hope their children can make more money themselves32.What do we learn about Nicola Horlick?A.She has already given away about 25% of her wealth.B.She is the first one who declares to give away her wealth.C.She will leave only a small portion of her wealth to her kids.D.She inherited most of her wealth from her parents.33.Buffett distinguishes himself for ________.A.his clear-cut positionB.being strict with his childrenC.his talent in financial managementD.being a giant in the stock market34.According to Buffett’s daughter, her father ________.A.refuses to lend her moneyB.wants her to invest in the Olympic GamesC.never gives her more money than necessaryD.always makes sure that she returns his money35.It is implied in the last paragraph that some foundations are used by the rich to ________.A.provide shelter for the poorB.build good fameC.avoid paying taxD.support their businessPassage TwoIt is football time again. Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the 2023 World Cup. Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement.The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their team, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result. They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other.Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground. All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too. Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty by wearing their team’s colours, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behaviour. They are often very noisy,shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs.There is much rivalry between supporters. Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise. Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul (犯规) committed by a member of the other team.When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground. In the worst cases, riot police have to be called in.Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football. These football hooligans (流氓) really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them. Theyregard football not as a sport, but as an excuse for troublemaking. Inevitably, their behaviour spoils the reputation of the game.36.The qualifying rounds are played to _______.A.attract soccer fansB.select the best teams for the next roundsC.raise funds for the organizersD.decide which players are the best37.What do the football fans hope to see?A.A home game.B.A defensive game.C.An evenly matched game.D.An exciting game.38.Fans get angry when they think _______.A.the referee is unfairB.their team is losingC.their team is not playing wellD.there is an intentional foul39.Riot police are called in _______.A.to separate the opposing fans inside the groundB.as a precaution against trouble inside the groundC.to stop fighting occurring outside the groundD.as a precaution against fighting outside the ground40.It is implied in the last paragraph that _______.A.football fans enjoy spoiling gamesB.football hooligans are crazy about the gamesC.football can be an excuse for troublemakingD.football has a poor reputationPassage ThreeOur sense of smell, which we normally take for granted, is nowadays being increasingly used for purposes which might surprise us if we were aware of them. Onearea in which smells are created to achieve particular results is marketing. For some time manufacturers have taken advantage of our sense of smell with regard to household goods. Millions of dollars are spent on product research in the hunt for the right smell as it is believed perfume influences the way consumers perceive a brand. In a survey in the United States, when people were asked what was the most important factor in their choice of detergent (洗衣粉), smell was rated highly, above ingredients and price.Now stores are becoming even more direct in their use of smell. The smell of fresh bread in a supermarket tends to encourage people to buy, and people selling their houses are recommended to have coffee being heated when potential buyers arrive. Suddenly smell is becoming big business. One company specializing in the use of smells to attract customers now has many large stores on its own list of customers. They find that when pleasant smells are filtered through a store’s air conditioning system, people tend tospend longer in the store and buy more.Research shows that smells can increase people’s view of the value of a product. In a test, people looked at the same types of shoes in two rooms—one filled with purified air, the other with a smell of mixed flowers. 84% of the people preferred the shoes in the room with the smell of flowers. In fact, many said they would be prepared to pay up to US$10 more for a pair.Smells also have other potential uses. Some companies are experimenting with different smells to produce different effects in their workers according to the time of day. For example, early in the morning they might put the smell of lemon in the air conditioning system to wake people up. In the middle of the morning, when the atmosphere tends to become more tense, the smell of wood could be used to calm people down. Before lunchtime the smell of melting butter would encourage people to go to lunch on time. After lunch, when people often begin to lose concentration, thesmell of mint (薄荷) would increase their alertness.41.Which is the most appropriate title for the passage?A.How to avoid being affected by smellsing smells to influence peopleC.The power of our sense of smellD.New smells in supermarkets42.In the survey, when selecting detergent, people considered smell ________.A.not importantB.as important as priceC.less important than ingredientsD.more important than price43.To attract more customers, some large stores ________.A.employ a company specializing in the use of smellsB.provide free coffee for themC.filter purified air through air conditioningD.decorate themselves with fresh flowers44.The majority of people in the test (Para. 3) preferred ________.A.the smell of shoes to that of flowersB.the smell of flowers to that of shoesC.the shoes in the room with purified airD.the shoes in the room with appealing smells45.To produce a calming effect, some companies use thesmell of ________.A.lemonB.woodC.melting butterD.mintPassage FourThe First Rule of Finance is to live within your means by spending no more than 80% of your take-home pay. If you take home $100 per week, spend no more than $80.But ever look at what people spend their money on? I have relatives and friends deeply in debt, spending $12 forevery $10 they earn instead of the $8 you know they should be spending. When I see them, they’re proud of their new whatever. “What do you think of my new truck?” asked one from the driver’s seat. “Do you like my new shoes?” asked another on high heels. “Check out my new big screen,” said a third while holding the remote in his living room. We’ve all heard people fishing for compliments on their new toys.Every one of them was proud of what they’d finance d. They seem to have bought it for the purpose of being proud, of showing off, of keeping up with the Joneses. “Look at my new…” is everybody’s favorite phrase, even when the object in question isn’t theirs at all and won’t be new when they’ve finally paid for it, if they ever do.They’re proud of being stupid. They think it’s cool to drive the financed car, wear the financed shoes, and watch the financed TV, but to smart people, whose opinions are the only ones we should respect, these people look dumb as rocks.The Joneses, nine times out of 10, are financially stupid. That’s why they have all that stuff, on borrowed money. Why try to copy them? Worse, why try to impress them? Copy and impress smart people, the ones who own their stuff. If you want to impress smart people, debt is the last way to go about it. Trying to impress a money-smart person by going into debt is like trying to impress Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps by drowning in a pool. Michael Phelps is impressed by good swimming, and a money-smart person by good money management.46.According to the author, the new truck, shoes and bigscreen mentioned in Para. 2 are ________.A.indicators of wealthB.necessities to the buyersC.just a waste of moneyD.examples of showing off47.“… the object in question isn’t theirs” (Para. 2) means ______.A.it is bought for other peopleB.it is bought with loaned moneyC.it will finally be owned by the bankD.it will finally be owned by the buyers48.According to the author, buying new objects on borrowed money is ________.A.unwiseB.shamefulC.understandableD.impressive49.“Smart people” in the last paragraph refer to ________.A.clever businessmenB.people with high IQsC.fashionable wealthy peopleD.people good at money management50.The purpose of this passage is to ________.A.show sympathy with poor consumersB.criticize consumption of luxuriesC.advise people to become money-smartD.persuade people to keep off fashionsPart IV Cloze Test (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, 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.There is one fairly standard reason why some thinkers regard the meaning-of-life question as being itself meaningless. They argue __51___ meaning is a matter of language, not objects. It is a __52__ of the way we talk about things, not a feature of things themselves, __53___ shape, weight or color. A cabbage or a computer is not meaningful in itself; it becomes __54___ only by being caught up in our conversation. On this theory, we can make life __55__ by our talk about it; but it cannot have a meaning in itself, __56___ than a cloud can. It would not __57__ sense, for example, to speak of a cloud as being true or false. ___58__, truth and falsehood are functions ofour humman judgements about clouds. However, there are problems with this argument, __59___ there are with most philosophical arguments. We shall be __60___ a few of them later on.51. A. that B. how C. if D. what52. A. means B. question C. problem D. method53. A. with B. for C. like D. as54. A. this B. that C. such D. so55. A. rich B. important C. meaningful D. colorful56. A. not more B. far moreC. much moreD. any more57. A. make B. bring C. take D. give58. A. Hence B. Rather C. Still D. Therefore59. A. when B. since C. as D. for60. A. writing about B. hunting forC. listening toD. looking at英语试卷二Part V Translation (30 minutes, 10 points)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.Human friends may come and go, but a horse could be one of your most loyal, long-term friends if you treat it right.Horses understand words better than expected, since horses can hear the human voice better than even dogs can, due to their particular range of hearing. And scientists predict that trainers could have greater success if they use more verbal commands in their horse training programs.Horses possess excellent memories, which allow horses to not only recall their human friends after a long period of separation but also to remember some complex human instructions for ten years or more. The bonds with humans are likely an extension of horse behavior in the wild, since horsesvalue their own horse relatives and friends, and are also open to new, non-threatening acquaintances. Horses maintain long-term bonds with several members of their family group, but they also interact temporarily with members of other groups when forming herds.Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words on the topic of “The Country I Would Like to Visit”. You may base your composition on the clues given below:1.假如有机会到国外度假两周，你会选择哪个国家?2.请至少给出三个理由。

在职研究生英语真题

在职研究生英语真题In recent years, more and more people are choosing to pursue a master's degree while still working. This trend is driven by the desire for career advancement, higher earning potential, and personal growth. As a result, there has been an increase in the number of in-service graduate students. However, the challenges that come with balancing work and study cannot be ignored. In this essay, I will discuss the benefits and challenges of being an in-service graduate student and share my own experiences.Firstly, one of the major benefits of being an in-service graduate student is the opportunity for career advancement. With a master's degree, individuals are more likely to be considered for promotions and job opportunities that require higher qualifications. This is especially true in competitive and fast-paced industries where advanced knowledge and skills are highly valued. Additionally, being an in-service graduate student allows individuals to apply the knowledge they learn in real-life work situations, which can benefit both their professional growth and their employers. Secondly, pursuing a master's degree while working provides the opportunity for higher earning potential. Studies have shown that individuals with advanced degrees tend to earn higher salaries compared to those with only undergraduate degrees. This is particularly true in fields such as business, engineering, and technology, where specialized knowledge and expertise are in high demand. By investing in their education and adding a master's degree to their resume, in-service graduate students can increase their earning potential and open doors to higher-paying job opportunities.However, being an in-service graduate student also comes with significant challenges. One of the main challenges is time management. Trying to balance the demands of work and study requires careful planning and organization. In-service graduate students often have to juggle work deadlines, class assignments, and exams, which can be overwhelming and stressful. It is crucial to develop effective time management strategies, prioritize tasks, and create a study schedule that allows for adequate rest and relaxation.Another challenge is the impact on personal life. Pursuing a master's degree while working often means sacrificing personal time and social engagements. In-service graduate students may have to reduce their participation in leisure activities, family gatherings, and social events in order to accommodate their study obligations. As a result, they may experience feelings of isolation and loneliness. It is essential to maintain a support network of family and friends who understand and support the decision to pursue higher education.In my own experience as an in-service graduate student, I have faced these challenges firsthand. Balancing a full-time job, studying, and personal commitments has been demanding, but the benefits have outweighed the challenges. The knowledge and skills I have gained through my master's degree have opened doors to new career opportunities and allowed me to expand my professional network. Moreover, I have learned valuable time management and self-discipline skills that have helped me become more efficient and productive in both my work and personal life.In conclusion, being an in-service graduate student offers numerous benefits, such as career advancement and higher earning potential. However, it also presents challenges, including time management and the impact on personal life. Through careful planning, support from family and friends, and perseverance, in-service graduate students can overcome these challenges and reap the rewards of their hard work. Pursuing a master's degree while working is undoubtedly a demanding journey, but it is one that can lead to personal and professional growth.。

Passage 1Scientists are learning more about the effects of stress on our bodies. Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.Stressful experiences---such as mental illness in a family, unemployment, poverty, or abuse---continue to affect our health and well-being far longer than the actual event. This is becoming a major concern for public health professionals.Researchers at the University of California discovered that childhood stress could permanently affect a person’s DNA. They found that kids who went through traumatic (创伤性的) experiences at a young age had shorter telomeres（端粒）than tho se who hadn’t. Telomeres are the protective tips at the end of our DNA, and shorter telomeres are linked to a variety of health problems. The researchers concluded that early childhood trauma has a lasting impact on our overall health.In another study, scientists in Sweden measured the stress levels of 17,000 adults, and then tracked them for 11 years. The results showed that the most stressed-out participants had a 45% higher risk of developing heart disease. The study also revealed that those with stressful jobs were more likely to take sick leave due to heart problems.Furthermore, researchers in New Zealand found that children who suffered ongoing stress before the age of 15 had a higher chance of developing asthma later in life. This finding suggests that reducing stress in early childhood could have long-term health benefits.Overall, these studies emphasize the need for stress reduction strategies and interventions, particularly in high-risk populations. Whether through therapy, meditation(冥想), or lifestyle changes, it is essential that we find healthy ways to manage and cope with stress to protect our long-term health.1. According to the passage, long-term stress may lead to _______.A. mental illnessB. shorter telomeresC. unemploymentD. poverty答案：B解析：根据第一段中的“Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.”可知，长期的压力可能会增加肥胖、心脏病甚至哮喘的风险，选项B中的“shorter telomeres”（更短的端粒）对应文章中提到的短端粒与健康问题有关。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 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 OneDon't have time to read anymore? Now you can get free, quick literature via email. More than 100,000 people open their email each day to read a chapter of a book, through Chapter-A-Day, an online book club created two years ago. It's a free email service that provides a short daily reading for busy people, exposing them to literature they may not find on their own, inspiring some to recommit to the reading habit. About 550 public library systems representing over 3,000 branch libraries already have signed up to offer Chapter-A-Day. Via email, participants get about five minutes' worth of reading every day. After three chapters are emailed, the installments stop, and those who want to keep reading can borrow the book at their public library or purchase it online. Chapter-A-Day has eight free book clubs, and sells thousands of books each month.Chapter-A-Day started in 1999 when Suzanne Beecher, a lifelong book lover, realized howmany of the women who worked part-time for her software development company didn't have time in their busy lives to read. She decided to type part of a chapter of a book, and send it to her employees through email. The next day she typed a little more, and continued to send literary installments each day. She says she started getting feedback from the staff about how reading made them feel. “They were interested, and realized that, though they didn't have time in their busy lives for reading, just reading that little bit each day got them back in the habit.” Realizing that many other people could benefit, she decided to take the idea even further and start an email “chapter-a-day” b ook club to help others ease their way back into daily reading. “Reading makes changes in people's lives,” Beecher says.Pat Dempsey, a librarian at a public library in Ohio, has found Chapter-A-Day helps her library clients get back in the habit of r eading. “It's a different way to get people hooked on books,” she says.31. Chapter-A-Day is intended to help people _______.A. get back into the habit of readingB. relieve stress from office workC. find interesting books onlineD. buy books more conveniently32. The passage was written in ___________.A. 1999B. 2023C. 2023D. 202333. It can be inferred that through Chapter-A-Day _________.A. public libraries have become crowded with readersB. Ms Beecher made much money for her software companyC. people begin to read very slowly and patientlyD. people cannot finish reading any book online34. The word “installment” in the passage probably means “ ________. ”A. a library emailB. a rare piece of literatureC. a free novelD. a part of a book35. Ms Beecher decided to expand her Chapter-A-Day service because_____.A. over 3, 000 libraries had joinedB. many other people could benefitC. eight book clubs supported herD. free email service was availablePassage TwoChicago Public Schools are going to great lengths to hire teachers—now the school district recruits teachers from other countries to help solve a shortage of teachers. It all started in 1999, when Rouses Hannon, a math and physics teacher from Palestine(巴勒斯坦), visited Chicago. He read about the teacher shortage at Chicago Public Schools and asked the school board if they’d hire him. The board was interested and decided to create a special program for foreign-born teachers like Hannon, and he was the first teacher hired.The program is called the Global Educator Outreach or GEO, and it’s a partnership between Chicago Public Schools and the U. S. Government. Because the teacher shortage in Chicago is so extreme, the Government allows the school district to temporarily hire foreign teaching candidates using HI-B visas. The Government grants these visas only to skilled foreign-born citizens so they can work in highly specialized jobs that can’t be filled with available U. S. workforce.Through the GEO, the school district has hired dozens of teachers from 22 different countries. Applicants must pass an English language test and specialize in math, science, world language or bilingual(双语旳) education. Hannon and the first GEO teachers started in the classroom at the beginning of the 2023-2023 school year.What do the GEO teachers think of the American classroom? Hannon, who was hired to teach math at Gage Park High School, says classrooms in Chicago are very different from those in Palestine. For one thing, he says, the fixed schedule that forces students to attend the same classes at the same time each day becomes too dull. In Palestine, the class schedule changes each week. He says in Palestine, the culture forces students to work hard because if they don’t they’ll be kicked out and put in vocational schools, which limits their career options. There is not nearly as much pressure for American students to do well. He says he has to do double the amount of work just to get his students interested.36. Chicago Public Schools began to employ foreign teachers because_____.A. there were not enough American teachersB. a program for foreign teachers was startedC. the school board was interested in foreign teachersD. foreign teachers taught better than American teachers.37. The American Government is involved in the program because _______.A. the schools are public schoolsB. the Government is to finance the programC. the Government grants visas to the foreign teachersD. the program involves bilingual education38. It seems that the Global Educator Outreach will_____.A. be difficult to continueB. last a limited period of timeC. pose a threat to US workforceD. be extended to other cities39. Chicago Public Schools do not seem to lack teachers of _______.A. EnglishB. mathC. scienceD. world language40. Hannon, as a GEO teacher, has found that _______.A. class schedules in America and Palestine are very much the sameB. fixed class schedules make it easy for teachers to prepare lessonsC. vocational schools offer a good career option for American studentsD. American students do not work as hard as Palestinian students Passage ThreeWorkforce is defined as the total number of people who are available to work and earn incomes. The definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes employers and the self-employed.Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, there are several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution. If the population grows rapidly from natural increase, i.e., the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths, then as the total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging, which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people retire from the workforce, there are not enough young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate.The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels, finances must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax receipts arerelatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.41. Workforce is composed of _________.A. both the employed and the self-employedB. people employed to work for othersC. both employers and employeesD. people available to work and earn incomes42. The factor that does not influence the size of the workforce is _______.A. the size of the total populationB. the age distribution of a populationC. the national economyD. the natural population growth43. It can be concluded from Paragraph 2 that ________.A. a population growth leads to a greater proportion of workforceB. a large population does not necessarily mean a high proportion of workforceC. the size of the aged determines the proportion of workforceD. the proportion of the very young determines the size of workforce44. The size of the workforce declines when ________.A. many people reach the retiring ageB. the birth rate falls rapidlyC. the number of retirees exceeds that of new workersD. the death rate increases45. The last paragraph focuses on _______.A. the factors that influence the workforce structureB. the importance of workforce distribution to the economyC. the relationship between age distribution and economyD. the influence of population growth on the national economyPassage FourHonesty is the best policy, as the English saying goes. Unfortunately, honesty often deserts us when no one is watching, British psychologists reported last week.Researchers at UK’s Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology depar tment’s coffee room. They set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the prices for drinks. People helping themselves to a cup of drink were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearby. The scientists hung a poster above the money box, and it changed each week between images of gazing eyes and pictures of flowers. The researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times more for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung. “Frankly we were shocked by the size of the effect,” said Gilbert Roberts, one of the researchers.Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual(感官旳) signal for humans. “Even though the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people behave more honestly,” said Melissa Bateson,a behavioral biologist and leader of the study.Researchers believe the effect sheds light on our evolutionary past. It may arise from behavioral features that developed when early humans formed social groups to strengthen their chances of survival. For social groups to work, individuals had to co-operate, rather than act selfishly. “There’s an argument that if nobody is watching us, it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we’re being watched we should behave better. So people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us,” Bateson said.The new finding indicates that people have a striking response to eyes. That might be because eyes and faces send a strong biological signal we have evolved to respond to. The finding could be put to practical use, too. For example, images of eyes could increase ticket sales on public transport and improve supervision systems to prevent antisocial behavior.46. The experiment conducted in Newcastle University shows that ________.A. people enjoy free drinks more than paid onesB. most people are dishonest if nobody is watchingC. people like pictures of flowers more than pictures of eyesD. people are more honest when watched by pictures of eyes47. Gilbert Roberts was shocked because _______ _.A. so many people had participated in the experimentB. so many of the participants were dishonestC. the effects of the pictures of flowers and gazing eyes were so differentD. the effects of eyes and other perceptual signals were so powerful48.

In the early 1990s, about half of these accidental deaths were the result of motor-vehicle accidents. Other major causes of accidental deaths were falls, fires, and poisoning. On a worldwide basis, accidents involving motor vehicles are the primary cause of accidental deaths, followed by accidents in industry and in the home.Efforts to lessen or to eliminate the hazardous conditions that cause accidents are known as safety measures. Safety is a growing concern around the world, and safety skills are being taken more seriously today than ever before. People have came to realize that safety skills can be learned, and most safety experts agree that it is possible to predict, and take steps to prevent, the majority of accidents. Few accidents simply “happen”. Most are caused by ignorance, carelessness, neglect, or lack of skill.Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words about the topic “On the Significance of the Qing-Zang Railroad”.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneDuring Tokyo’s morning rush hour, a train pulled int o a subway station, and coughing passengers, complaining of a terrible odor, piled out quickly. Stationmaster Tsuneo Hishinuma rushed in and found a plastic bag leaking clear liquid. Hishinuma took the bag to an office and phoned for help. He was found on the floor, foaming at the mouth and left this world. Within minutes, five packed trains had pulled into the station with similar packages with a deadly poison that evaporates into gas. The March 20, 1995, attack killed 12 and sent 5500 to hospitals. The criminals were members of an association called Shinrikyo, which was formed in 1987 to convince it people that the end of the world is at hand.In the United States, shocked by super-terrorism, the Congress has authorized $65 million to establish regional response units and train local emergency workers in anti-terrorist chemical and biological incidents. The FBI’s hostage-rescue team has been expanded. Such efforts must continue because we are really unprepared. In April 1995, when New York simulated a Tokyo-style subway gas attack, over 100 emergency personnel arriving at the scene were declared “dead.”A reward may have helped capture the world’s most dangerous terrorist, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, who is accused of masterminding the World Trade Center bomb explosion. The FBI advertised a $2 million reward for his capture. In January 1995 Yousef was mixing explosives in his kitchen in Manilawhen his mixture began to smoke, attracting firefighters and police. They found a computer file detailing an elaborate plot to blow up a dozen American airliners in a two-day period. But Yousef had disappeared. A month later U.S agents burst into Yousef’s room and arrested him. A federal jury last September convicted Yousef for plotting to bomb the American airliners; he faces life in prison without parole.As Alecksandr Solzhenitsyn, FBI officer said, “All forms of terrorism have been spreading because everyone is ready to raise the white flag before them. But as soon as some firmness is shown, terrorism can be smashed.”21. The passengers in the train complained about _____________.A. heavy crowds of peopleB. stuffy air.C. coughing noiseD. bad smell22. What happened to the stationmaster?A. He was sent to the hospital.B. He died soon after he touched the bag.C. He found himself burned.D. He was seriously injured.23. What happened in April, 1995 in New York?A. There was a real subway gas attack.B. There was an exercise for a subway gas attack.C. A Tokyo-style subway gas attack was stopped.D. Over 100 emergency personnel were killed.24. Yousef was accused of _____________.A. destroying the computer filesB. exploding World Trade Center by himselfC. making explosives for his followersD. planning to explode the airplanes25. The passage infers that dealing with terrorists the effective way is to ___________.A. strengthen the law against the crimes in certain areasB. make people aware of their dangerC. take rigid action against themD. create a reward program against them Passage TwoBy adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can substantially increase their children’s language development. It’s surprising, but true. The experi ment which was conducted in Princeton University has clearly proved how parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the ch ild’s language skills increase.A study was done with two- to three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In theexperimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than, “Is the doggie running away?” Experimental parents were a lso instructed in how to expand on their children’s answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the end of one month the children in the experimental group tested 5.5 month ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the control group.26. Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?A. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.B. Active children would be likely to read more.C. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.D. Verbal ability can easily be increased.27. What was the difference between the control group and the experimental group?A. The training parents received.B. The age of the children.C. The books that were read.D. The number of children.28. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask after reading to a child about a zoo?A. Do you see the elephant?B. Is the elephant in the cage?C. What animals do you like?D. Shall we go to the zoo?29. In Line 11, the word “alternative” could best be replaced by which of the following?A. Better.B. Other.C. Easier.D. Clearer.30. What conclusion is best supported by this passage?A. Parents should be trained to read to their children.B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.C. Children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.D. Children who read actively act six months older.Passage ThreeThe use of the word "imitation" reminds me that I ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence. For example Iremember a woman who was head of an infants school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were in the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to intervene before the child was hanged. I remember a film of no particular merit in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by killing his guard, the technique being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we should cut for these reasons.In films for young people we always tried to keep off the screen any details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of wire, or how to open a safe; if we were consulted before production I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film censorship I invariably had full support for this; since fathers who were in prison for criminal offenses did not want their children to embark on crime.Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler's shop, the robbery sequence lasting about half an hour and being backed only by natural sound --- one of the most brilliant film sequences of all time. I remember our discussions at the time. We took into account the fact that the robbery was accomplished only with the use of elaborate and obviously expensive equipment, and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.31. In the first paragraph, the writer presented an example just to ____________________.A. stop children from fighting togetherB. intervene before the child was hangedC. show how dangerous scenes affected kidsD. indicate how terrible today's children were32. The passage indicates that the writer of this passage is in favor of that TV programs and films should be _________________.A. remade in detailsB. censored to some extentC. stopped for a whileD. be kept away from children33. Which of the following is Not true?A. The writer lectured to prisoners from time to time.B. Fathers in prison didn't want their children to follow them.C. A succession of a robbery in a film lasted about half an hour.D. Children of the criminals often commit crimes.34. The write r realized that people’s belief was wrong because ___________.A. a complicated robbery happened at the same time of the showB. criminals accomplished a difficult robbery with easy techniquesC. criminals succeeded in imitating a complicated robberyD. robbers learned the techniques from reports quickly35. The profession of the person who wrote this passage is probably a ________________.A. detective story writerB. policeman of a prisonC. government officerD. social activistPassage FourThough harvesting ice is not a new concept, now it has been considered in a new way. Long time ago some clever people wanted to use the ice for drinking water by shipping it from the areas where there was a lot of ice to the areas where there was a water shortage. Recently scientists in the United States have been studying this idea of harvesting ice as a possible solution to the problem of the declining fresh water supply, which is happening in many parts of the world. According to the statistics which is presented by Stanford Water Supply Institute, ninety percent of the earth’s fresh water is in the icecap of Antarctica. If only 10 percent of that ice could be drawn to civilization, it could provide water for 500 million people. But the problem, of course, is one of melting. How can a huge iceberg be dragged across the sea without melting?The answer could lie in enclosing the floating ice in a huge cylindrical container made of a high-strength synthetic fabric. If the iceberg were pushed into the fabric container, which is opened at both ends, then the ends could be sealed and the sea water pulled out. After that it could be drawn to civilization. The melting rate would be slowed down and the synthetic net would act as a holding tank for the water. Engineering this project, which might include a container up to one kilometer in length and 100 meters in diameter, would be a feat, but engineers say it is possible. After all, fishermen in North Australia sometimes use nets 8 kilometers long and 20 meters across. If this idea could be put into practice, the worldwide water shortage could be diminished.36. What is the main subject of this passage?A. The declining water supply on earth.B. Fresh water in the Antarctic.C. A solution to fresh water needs.D. The making of a synthetic water container.37. How does the author propose to transport the ice?A. By carrying it.B. By melting it.C. By piping it.D. By pulling it.38. According to the passage, the purpose of the fabric container is to ________.A. protect the iceB. diminish the speed of meltingC. cause the ice to floatD. pump out the sea water39. The word “feat” in Line 15 is most similar in meaning to which of the following?A. Expensive undertakingB. Difficult task.C. Disagreeable job.D. Critical step.40. The purpose of the last sentence but one is to _____________.A. reinforce the feasibility of the projectB. compare fishermen to engineersC. Contrast iceberg containers and fishing netsD. define the size of the containerSection BDirections:In this section, you are required to read several excerpts from newspapers and/or magazines. These excerpts are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Excerpt 1:What does an economist think of that? A lot depends on whether the economist is a man or a woman. A new study shows a large gender gap on economic policy among the nation’s professional economists, a divide similar ---- and in some cases bigger ---- than the gender divide found in the general public. Differences extend to core professional belief ---- such as the effect of minimum wage laws ---- not just matters of political opinion.Excerpt 2:Opinion differences between men and women are well-documented in the general public. President Obama leads Mitt Romney by 10 percentage points among women. Romney leads Obama by 3 percentage points among men, according to the latest Gallup Poll.Excerpt 3:Liberal economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic Policy and Research, says male economists have been on the inside of the profession, confirming each other’s anto-regulation views. Women, as outsiders, “are more likely to think independently or at least see people outside of the economics profession as forming their peer group,” he says.Excerpt 4:A native of France, de Rugy supported government intervention early in her life but changed her mind after studying economics. “We want many of the same things as liberals ---- less poverty, more health care ---- but have radically different ideas on how to achieve it.”Excerpt 5:Female economists tend to favor a bigger role for government whicle male economists have greater faith in business and the marketplace. Is the U. S. economy excessively regulated? Sixty-five percent of female economists said “no”---- 24 percentage points higher than male economists. “It’s very puzzling,” says free-market economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. “Not a day goes by that I don’t ask myself why there are so few women economists on the free-market side.”Excerpt 6:The gender balance in economics is changing. One-third of economics doctorates now go to women. The chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers has been a woman three of 27 times since 1946 ---- one advising Obama and two advising Bill Clinton. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors has three women, bringing the total to eight of 90 members since 1914. Excerpt 7:The genders are most divorced from each other on the question of equality for women. Male economists overwhelmingly think the wage gap between men and women is largely the result of individuals’skills, experience and voluntary choices while female economists overwhemingly disagree. The biggest disagreement: 76% of women say faculty opportunities in economics favor men. Male economists point the opposite way: 80% say women are favored or the process is neutral.41. Gender differences between male and femal economists can be observed in the following aspects EXCEPT .A. core professional beliefsB. political preferences in presiential electionC. equality for womenD. the role of government in economy42. The majority of female economists tend to agree that .A. business and the marketplace should play a bigger role in economy.B. the U. S. economy is excessively regulated by the government.C. free market should be greatly encouraged to boost the U. S. economyD. the wage gap between men and women might be caused by the gender difference43. According to de Rugy, the difference between her and liberals is .A. their attitudes towards government interventionB. the goals they hope to achieveC. how to reducer poverty and improve health careD. the role of government in economy44. Which Excerpt discusses the difference of male and female economists in the relationship with their profession?A. Excerpt 2.B. Excerpt 3.C. Excerpt 6.D. Excerpt 7.Part IV Cloze (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are a lit of 15 words and phrases with 15 blanks.

Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.In accordance with the recent study conducted by a group of well-known scientists, differences in various areas of scientific research have several causes. Some of these causes are completely results of social needs and development. Others are reasonable consequences of particular advances in science being to some extent self-accelerating. It can be predicted, however,that from time to time questions will arise which will require specific scientific answers. It is therefore generally valuable to treat the scientific establishment as a resource or machine, which could provide these answers.Part VII Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: In this part, you are to write within 30 minutes a composition of no less than 150 words.

Everybody eats to live. The food we eat gives us energy to grow, work, play and keep us warm and healthy. If we didn’t eat anything for a day, we would feel hungry and weak. If we didn’t eat anything for a longer time, we would die. Therefore, food is vital to our life.Unfortunately, there is a serious shortage of food in many parts of the world. Due to the natural disasters and poor land, some countries cannot harvest enough grain for their people. We often hear form radio or TV that African countries suffer from starvation from time to time. Even in our country, food shortage is still a great threat to our nation.However, there are some ways to solve this problem. First, more attention should be drawn from the public and all the governments to food shortage. All the countries should put more money into the agriculture. Second, advanced technology should be accepted, and new kinds of grain plants should be cultivated and introduced to these countries which are short of food. Finally, rich countries should help the poor develop the agriculture and produce more food. In this way the food problem can be tackled.。

For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and transfer your answer to the ANSWER SHEET.Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:The economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily "paramagnetic", or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field. This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.11.The passage focuses on ___________ .A.construction and manufacturing industry in the United StatesB.new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor oresC.consumption and production of aluminum in the United StatesD.the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States答案C。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 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 OneIt is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans' life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians—frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.In 1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be $1,540 billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age—say 83 or so, Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm "have a duty to die and get out of the way" so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78 Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s. These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems **e naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. As a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people's lives.1. What is implied in the first sentence?A. Americans are better prepared for death than other people. B. Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before. C. Americans are over-confident of their medical technology. D. Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.2. The author uses the example of cancer patients to show that ______.A. medical resources are often wasted B. doctors are helpless against fatal diseases C. some treatment are too aggressive D. medical costs are becoming unaffordable3. The author's attitude toward Richard Lamm's remark is one of ______.A. strong disapproval B. reserved consent C. slight contempt D. enthusiastic support4. In contrast to the U.S., Japan and Sweden are funding their medical care ______.A. more flexibly B. more extravagantly C. more cautiously D. more reasonably5. The text intends to express the idea that ______.A. medicine will further prolong people's lives B. life beyond a certain limit is not worth living C. death should be accepted as a fact of life D. excessive demands increase the cost of health carePassage TwoFew people doubt the fundamental importance of mothers in child-rearing, but what do fathers do? Much of what they contribute is simply the result of being a second adult in the home. Bringing up children is demanding, stressful and exhausting. Two adults can support and make up for each other's deficiencies and build on each other's strengths.Fathers also bring an array of unique qualities. Some are familiar: protector and role model. Teenage boys without fathers are notoriously prone to trouble. The pathway to adulthood for daughters is somewhat easier, but they must still learn from their fathers, in ways they cannot from their mothers, how to relate to men. They learn from their fathers about heterosexual trust, intimacy and difference. They learn to appreciate their own femininity from the one male who is most special in their lives. Most important, through loving and being loved by their fathers, they learn that they are love-worthy.Current research gives much deeper—and more surprising—insight into the father's role in child-rearing. One significantly overlooked dimension of fathering is play. From their children's birth through adolescence, fathers tend to emphasize play more than caretaking. The father's style of play is likely to be both physically stimulating and exciting. With older children it involves more teamwork, **petitive testing of physical and mental skills. It frequently resembles a teaching relationship: come on, let me show you how. Mothers play more at the child's level. They seem willing to let the child direct play.Kids, at least in the early years, seem to prefer to play with daddy. In one study of 2.5-year-olds who were given a choice, more than two-thirds chose to play with their father.The way fathers play has effects on everything from the management of emotions to intelligence and academic achievement. It is particularly important in promoting self-control. According to one expert, "children who roughhouse with their fathers quickly learn that biting, kicking and other forms of physical violence are not acceptable." They learn when to "shut it down."At play and in other realms, fathers tend to **petition, challenge, initiative, risk-taking and independence. Mothers, as caretakers, stress emotional security and personal safety. On the playground fathers often try to get the child to swing even higher, while mothers are cautious, worrying about an accident.We know, too, that fathers' involvement seems to be linked to improved verbal and problem-solving skills and higher academic achievement. Several studies found that along with paternal strictness, the amount of time fathers spent reading with them was a strong predictor oftheir daughters' verbal ability.For sons the results have been equally striking. Studies uncovered a strong relationship between fathers' involvement and the mathematical abilities of their sons. Other studies found a relationship between paternal nurturing and boys' verbal intelligence.1.

Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection **panions, or bonds among members of groups. Society's economic underpinnings (基础，支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind. For as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world forus in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us—hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and **es a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal and penal system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.1. The reason why people might not be able to stay alive in a world without emotion is thatA. they would not be able to tell the texture of objects B. they would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them C. they would not be happy with a life without love D. they would do things that hurt each other's feelings2. According to the passage, people' learning activities are possible because they ______.A. believe that emotions are fundamental for them to stay alive B. benefit from providing help and support to one another C. enjoy being rewarded for doing the right thing D. know what is vital to the progress of society3. It can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ______.A. the ability to make money B. the will to work for pleasure C. the capacity to enjoy incentives D. the categorizations of our emotional experiences4. Emotions are significant for man's survival and adaptation because ______.A. they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objects B. they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintained C. they encourage people to perform dangerous achievements D. they generate more love than hate among people5. The emotional aspects of an object are more important than its physical aspects in that they ______.A. help society exploit its members for profit B. encourage us to perform important tasks C. help to perfect the legal and penal system D. help us adapt our behavior to the world surrounding usPassage FourThere is no question that some "greenwashing" is going on in the corporate world. Bayern-werk, a Bavarian utility, began selling "Aqua Power" last year when Germany began to let customers choose their electricity supplier. Bayern-werk markets Aqua Power as 100 percent green, renewable, hydroelectric energy. But any customer who signs up gets power from the same mix of sources as before: hydro, gas, coal and nuclear. Nothing changes except some accounting, andthere is no net benefit to the environment. There is a benefit, though, to Bayernwerk, which charges more for Aqua Power and has been swamped with orders for it.Greenwashing takes many forms. "Companies often advertise themselves as environmentally friendly even though they might have some pretty hideous environment records," says Jill Johnson of the group Earth Day 2002. California's PG＆E, the utility that settled out of court after the real Erin Brockovich accused it of polluting groundwater, runs pro-environmental ads. But PG＆E is due in court in November on charges of polluting wells in a second California town. "PG＆E has a very good environmental track record," says spokesman Greg Pruett, citing recycling and waste reduction. Weyerhaeuser, the **pany, cuts old-growth trees in Canada but trumpets the 100 million tree seedlings it will plant this year.Overall, the greening of corporate America is real and has not been as hard to achieve as some environmental activists imagined. That is especially true for greenhouse gases and climate change, the focus of Earth Day 2000. "Now there is more recognition by companies that there may be an economic advantage to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases," says Paul Portney, president of the think tank Resources for the Future. More and **panies are changing the way they heat and light their buildings and design their factories to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as their energy bills. (Energy-efficiency upgrades can save a company roughly $1 per square foot of office or factory space every year.) The reductions often exceed those called for in the 1997 international agreement on greenhouse warming called Kyoto Treaty, whose goal of reducing greenhouse emissions 7 percent from their 2000 levels is deemed so threatening to the economy by many oil, coal and **panies that the White House does not dare to submit to the Senate for ratification.1. The "Aqua Power", sold by the Germany utility Bayernwerk, is ______.A. green energy B. less expensive C. ordinary electricity D. not popular2. By "greenwashing", the author of the passage probably means ______.A. reducing and recycling waste B. advertising green products C. planting tree seedlings D. appearing pro-environmental3. The reductions on greenhouse gas emissions, called for in the Kyoto Treaty, turned out to be ______.A. too dangerous for the U.S. economy B. unrealistic for the year 2000 C. good for oil, coal and **panies D. not too difficult to achieve in the U.S.4. Companies like PG＆E and Weyerhaeuser tried to promote their environmental image because they ______.A. realize its economic advantage B. would like to be environmentally friendly C. would defend themselves against charges D. know the importance of sustainable growth5. The author wrote this passage probably to show that ______.A. **panies have a good environmental track record B. actions are truly taken by companies to protect the environment C. the real motive of companies' actions are self-centered D. serious damages usually occur beneath the surfacePart Ⅳ Cloze TestDirections: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

Today concern for the environment extends into such areas as chemical pollution of the air we breathe and the water we drink, strip mining, dam and road building, noise pollution, offshore oil drilling, nuclear energy, waste disposal, the use of aerosol cans and nonreturnable beverage containers and a host of other issues. In fact, there is hardly a realm of national life that is not touched by the controversy that often pits those who style themselves environmentalists against proponents of economic growth in our energy-consuming society. The problem is to balance the needs of the environment against those of the economy or consumers trying to cope with the high cost of living without destroying the earth on which we all depend. In this sense, it is important how nations should go about making environmental policies choice. Public awareness education on environment should be enhanced among citizens.Part Ⅵ WritingDirections: You are to write in no less than 120 words about the title "Commercialism at Holiday Time".
