A country's standard of living, ____31_______, depends first and 32 on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money 33 on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services”such as transport and “__34 __ ” .A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of 35 have an effect on one another. Wealth depends 36 a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a 37 climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources 38 the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well 39 as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civiland 40 wars, and 41 this and other reasons was 42 to develop herresources. 43 and stable political conditions,and 44 _____ from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equallywell 45 by nature but less well ordered.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed 46 it own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through internationaltrade. 47 Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend onlyon 48 _ grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would 49 be lacking.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AAll Sir William Jones wanted to do was to learn Sanskrit. While he was studying, however, he made a surprising discovery. This ancient language of India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek. The Sanskrit word for "mother"—matar—was almost identical to the Latin word, mater. “Father” was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin and Greek. The more he studied, the more similarities he found.How could this be? Thousands of miles and many natural barriers separated India and Europe. Still, Jones concluded, the similarities were too strong to be accidental. In 1786, he announced “No one could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source.”Since then, scholars have traced many languages to this “common source.” Today, these languages are called the Indo-European family. But where did this source originate? Language and geography provide the clues. European languages have similar words for the animals and trees of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and wolf. There are no common words for the animals and trees of southern Europe.To scholars, this suggests that the Indo-European languages began in north central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans set out toward the east, settling in Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated westward toward southern and western Europe. The root language developed into dozens of different languages, but the family resemblances remain. The word for “three” is drei in German, tres in Spanish, tre in Albanian, and tri in Russian.Almost every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family, but there are exceptions. Hungarian and Finnish cling to other language families. High in the Pyrenees, the Basque people speak a language that has no known relatives. Perhaps the Basques were the original inhabitants of the region. Isolated by mountains, they may have been bypassed by the spread of Indo-European culture.81. What did Sir William Jones discover when he was learning Sanskrit?A. Sanskrit was very similar to some European languages.B. Sanskrit was an ancient language.C. The Sanskrit word for mother is the same as that in Latin.D. Latin and Greek were very similar.82. Which of the following statements is true about "the common source"?A. Jones found out the common source.B. All languages sprang from the common source.C. Only three languages sprang from the common source.D. Since 1786, scholars have traced many languages to the common source.83. Where did the common source originate?A. In southernEurope.B. In north-central Europe.C. InIndia.D. in Pakistan.84. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Jones first discovered the root language.B. The languages with the common source are called the Indo-European family.C. The root language developed into different languages as people migrated.D. Every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family. TEXT BYour first culture shock came after you left your home country and you needed to adjust to the United States, It is now important to learn cultural information about your company, so that you will fit in and perform successfully. The people who make up this environment have their own customs, habits and expectations of each new employee. Gathering information that is formal (policy) and informal (traditions) will help you learn the professional norms and become fully accepted. Policies are corporate documents describing procedures, rules, and standards that guide decision making and conduct. They are similar to official laws that govern a country. Some sources of such written company information include the annual report, product or service brochures, technical and procedural manual, employee directory and the company newsletter. Organizational traditions are usually unwritten hut common practices that have evolved over time. They set the tone and philosophy of the particular corporation, just as the customs of a country do. The best way to learn such information is to observe and talk with others such as your supervisor and co-workers.You can supplement ideas from formal introductory materials given you earlier. Explore with fellow employees those behaviors that may be tolerated but frowned upon. Ask your supervisor for feedback to avoidtypical traps that could cause your co-workers to reject you as a professional. Keep this guide nearby, and refer to it often in private. Reviewing formal company procedures, handouts, written notes, ideas, comments from bosses and colleagues, together with materials in this handbook, will help you make a more healthy cultural adjustment.85. What is the purpose to learn cultural information?A. To know the U. S. A. better.B. To work better in the new environment.C. To make more money.D. To improve one's English.86. According to the passage, ___________ is not the policy's function.A. describing procedures, rules and standardsB. governing a countryC. helping to guide decision making and conductD. writing down the company's information87. ____________ is the best way to learn the organizational traditions.A. To read the policiesB. To study the philosophyC. To study a country's customsD. To observe and communicate with the colleagues and boss.88. How to make a more healthy cultural adjustment?A. Read this passage often.B. Discuss the organizational culture with your colleagues.C. Gather and review the formal and informal information in the corporation.D. Ask your boss for help.89. The passage is written to ___________.A. help readers to understand the organization's cultureB. explain the culture shockC. analyze the policies and traditionsD. help readers to work better with their supervisor and co-workersTEXT C“White hostility toward African Americans, and the resulting discrimination, have been fueled by a sense of threat. During slavery, many working-class whites, encouraged by slaveholders, feared the release of large numbers of blacks into the labor market and society in general. When northern industries used African Americans as strikebreakers in the first decades of this century, white workers feared the loss of their jobs. Today, many white Americans fear “black violence”. Moreover, specific fears about the “costs” of welfare as well as the "taking" of jobs through affirmative action have added to the fear of black violence.These fears have translated into negative stereotypes of African Americans as a people who are prone to crime and violence, unwilling to work, and a drain on the white taxpayer through their welfare dependency. In turn, these stereotypes have been used to justify informal discrimination, to prevent the help to the urban poor, to be negligent in enforcing laws or policies prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers, and most important, to hesitate in making a serious effort at job creation for African Americans. The result is that African Americans’ share of valued resources has not increased much over the last two decades, even as formal discrimination has been greatly lessened. This fact is used to further the negative belief that African Americans have "not taken advantage of their equal opportunities."90. According to the passage, how did the northern industries make use of African Americans in 1900s?A. Sent them to ask the strikers to go back to work.B. Made them work very hard.C. Employed them to threaten the white strikers.D. Released them into the labor market.91. What is the ill influence of these negative stereotypes?A. Giving help to the poor black.B. Justifying informal discrimination.C. Enforcing laws prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers.D. Creating opportunities of employment for the black.92. What can be inferred from "a drain on the white taxpayer" about the African Americans?A. They are unwilling to work.B. They never pay tax.C. They lack security.D. Their welfare depends on the white's tax.93. The author wrote the passage to tell us__________.A. African Americans pose a threat to the whites in employmentB. African Americans are dependent on the tax paid by the whitesC. African Americans are discriminated against because they are often on strikeD. the sense of threat intensifies the white's hospitality and discrimination against the African AmericansTEXT D“People thought of themselves as having rights from companies,” said Hoshua Freeman, a labor historian at Columbia University. That sense of entitlement grew even stronger in the early decades after World War II and collective bargaining became the arena for arguing out wages, pensions, health insurance, vacations, hours and job security.That system is disappearing today. Career-long attachments to one employer, a notion born in the 1920's, are no longer the .norm. The newclass-consciousness makes less distinction between workers and managers. Rights are relative, at best. An increasingly conservative electorate has reduced government's role in regulating the economy. Unions have lost influence and membership.What people do is try to cope, by themselves, said Ms. Skelly, of DYG. Self-employment is one solution, DYG's polls show, and that is a rising trend. "They try, on the job, to hide any weakness in their performance," she said. “They work longer hours and take work home, without letting the boss know, to give the impression that they can do difficult tasks quickly. There is nothing like, ‘we are all in this together.’ There is too much competition. People talk of their weakness to friends and spouses, but not to coworkers.”And many Americans feel in their hearts that the unemployment might be justified. “There is a sense among people that we are inefficient and bloated,” Ms. Skelly said. “And until they feel that is no longer true, they are reluctant to criticize the forces that are cutting out the fat and the inefficiencies.”94. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ___________.A. people do not enjoy their rights nowadaysB. people are more likely to change their jobs than they were in the 1920'sC. workers and managers share the same rights todayD. nowadays, people refuse to take part in the Union95. According to Ms Skelly, which of the following is true?A. People like to work overtime.B. People want to work at home.C. People want to impress the boss with their capability and efficiency.D. People need help from their families, for they cannot cope with difficult problems themselves.96. People hide their weakness from___________.A. their parentsB. their wives or husbandsC. their friendsD. their colleagues97. The main idea of the passage is___________.A. people thought of themselves as having rights from companiesB. people's sense of entitlement is not as strong as it used to beC. people work at homeD. people regard unemployment as usualTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you, and expression of your personality. Therefore to write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized. A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence. What was the most interesting letter you received? Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: They sound exactly like the letters everyone else writes. They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write is part of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C. Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC.

great outburst of major inventionsin early America-breakthroughs such as the telegraph, the steamboat and the weaving machine?Among the many shaping factors, I would single out the country's excellent elementary schools; a labor force that welcomed the new technology; the practice of giving premiumsto inventors; and above all the American genius for nonverbal, "spatial" thinking about things technological．Why mention the elementary schools? Because thanks tothese schools our early mechanics, specially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literateand at horn, in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometryand trigonometry．Acute foreign observers related American adaptiveness and inventiveness to this educational advantage． As a member ofa British commission visiting here in 1853 reported, "With a mind prepared by thorough school discipline, the American boy develops rapidly into the skilled workman．"A further stimulus to invention came from the "premium" system, which preceded our patent system and for years ran parallel with it．This approach, originated abroad, offered inventors medals, cash prizes and other incentives．In the United States, multitudes of premiums for new devices were awarded at country fairs and at the industrial fairs in major cities．Americans flocked to these fairs to admire the new machines and thus to renew their faith in the beneficence of technological advance．Given this optimistic approach to technological innovation, American workers took readily to that specialkind of nonverbal thinking required in mechanical technology．As Eugene Ferguson has pointed out, "Atechnologist thinks about objects that cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in his mind by a visual, nonverbal process．．．The designer and the inventor．．．are able to assemble and manipulate in their minds devices that as yet do not exist．"This nonverbal "spatial" thinking can be just as creative as painting and writing．Robert Fulton once wrote, "The mechanic should sit down among levers, screws, wedges, wheels, etc．like a poet among the letters of the alphabet,considering them as an exhibition of his thoughts, in which a new arrangement transmits a new idea．"When all these shaping forces---schools, open attitudes, the premium system, a genius for spatial thinking--interacted with one another on the rich U．S．mainland, they producedthat American characteristic, emulation．Today that word implies mere imitation．But in earlier times it meant afriendly but competitive striving for fame and excellence．According to the author, the great outburst of major inventions in early America was in a large part due toA．a special way of thinkingB．enthusiastic workersC．the attractive premium systemD．elementary school83、Which of the following statements about earlyAmerican mechanics is TRUE?A．They had received privileged home training．B．They contributed to disciplined school management．C．They are the result of technological development．D．They benefited a lot from their mathematical knowledge．84、According to the passage, the premium system __A．was an American inventionB．appeared before the patent systemC．is as important as the patent systemD．is supported by the federal government85、A technologist can be compared to an artist because they both_______．A．use various instrumentsB．abandon verbal descriptionC．arc experts in special thinkingD．are winners of awards86、The best title for this passage might be_____．A．Inventive MindB．Effective SchoolingC．Ways of ThinkingD．Technological Advance87、根据以下资料，回答87-106题：If winning is everything, British anthropologists have some advice： Wear red．Their survey of four sports atthe2004 Olympic Games in Athens shows competitors were more likely to win their contests if they wore red uniforms or red body armor． "Across a range of sports, we find that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning," report Russell A．Hill and Robert A．Barton of the University of Durham in England．Their findings are in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature．Red coloration is associated with aggression in many animals．Often it is sexually selected so that scarlet markings signal male dominance．Just think of the red stripes on the scowling face of the male Mandrill, Africa's largest monkey species．But red is not exclusively a male trait．It's the female black widow spider that is venomous sand displays a menacing red dot on her abdomen．Similarly, the color's effect also may subconsciously intimidate opponents in athletic contests, especially when the athletes are equal in skill and strength, the researchers suggest．In their survey, the anthropologists analyzed the results of four combat sports at the summer games： boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestylewrestling．In those events, the athletes were randomly assigned red protective gear and other sportswear．Athletes wearing red gear won more often in 16 of 21 rounds of competition in all four events．The effect was the same regardless of weight classes, too： 19 of 29 classes had more red winners, and only four rounds had more blue winners,The red effect also might come into play in team sports．The anthropologists made a preliminary analysis of the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament, in which teams wore jerseys of different colors in different matches．They found that five teams scored more goals and won more often when they wore shirts that were predominantly red, as opposed to blue or white jerseys．Scientists don't precisely know how wearing red might give athletes an advantage．But the color delivers implicit messages of vigor and danger．When people get angry, theirfaces turn red．It's also a reason why stop signs are red．So are most Ferraris．Red color is associated with all of the following EXCEPT________．A．controlling power of male MandrillsB．greater chances of winning in sportsC．menacing characteristics of female back widow spidersD．higher speed of automobiles88、The word "intimidate" in Paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to________．A．threatenB．imitateC．distractD．confuse89、Which of the following statements about red effect in sports is TRUE?A．It works for athletic contest only．B．It varies from different weight classes．C．It exists in team sports．D．It is not so obvious in other sports as in soccer．90、Scientists are sure that the color redA．encourages athletes to winB．is a signal of vigorC．is superior to the color blueD．delivers messages, f mental advantage91、根据以下资料，回答91-110题：When Gina Garro and Brian Duplisea adopted 4-month-old Andres from Colombia last month (they also have a 6-year-old daughter), they were determined to take time off from work to care for him．Though Garro's $40,000salary will cover their mortgage, the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts, and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car．"It takes away from you your cushion and your security," says Garro．"Things will be tight．"The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act was supposed to help families like Garro's, offering a safety net to employees who want to take time off to nurture newborns, tend to their own major illnesses or care for sickrelatives． But while the law guarantees that workers won't lose their jobs, it doesn't cover their paychecks．One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999, 2．7 million more wanted to, but couldn't afford it．That may change soon．In response to increasing demand from voters, at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave．One possibility： tapping state disability funds．A handful of states--New York, New Jersey, California, Rhode Island and Hawaii--already dip into disability money to offer partial pay for women on maternity leave．But that doesn't help dads or people caring forelderly parents．New Jersey and New York may soon expanddisability programs to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers．Thirteen states, including Arizona, Illinois and Florida, have proposed using unemployment fund to pay for leave．Massachusetts has been especially creative．When thestate's acting governor, Jane Swift, gave birth to twin daughters in May, she drew attention to the issue with herown "working maternity leave"： she telecommuted part-timebut earned her usual full-time salary．Even before Swift returned to work last week, the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from ahealth -insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay．Another plan, proposed inthe House, would require employers to kick in $20 per workerto set up a "New Families Trust Fund．"．Businesses would get tax credits in return．This week Swift is expected to announce her own paid-leave plan for lower-income mothers and fathers．Polls show widespread public support--another reason Swift and other politicians across the, country have embraced the issue．Still, not everyone's wild about the idea．People without children question wh y new parents--the first group to getpaid leave under many of the proposed plans--should get more government perks than they do．Business groups are resistantto proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have; already filed suit to block them．As the economy slows, many companies say they can't afford to contribute to proposed new benefit funds either．Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family, leave lawsby taking time off for dubious reasons or in tiny timeincrements．The proposed laws, they say, would on y make matters worse．For Garro and Duplisea, though, the new laws could makeall the difference．As Melina fixes a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, Duplisea hugs a snoozing Andres against his T-shirt "We're trying to do the right thing by two kids, and we have to sacrifice," Duplisea says．In Massachusetts and plenty of other states, help maybe on the way．From the first paragraph, we learn that____．A．the couple have made a lot of sacrifices to take care of their childrenB．Garro can earn more money so she should go back toworkC．Duplisea's boss is so considerate as to allow him to keep his jobD．Garro and Duplisea used to live a comfortable and easy life92、When Garro says "It takes away from you your cushion and your security", she means ________．A．it makes her feel insecure physically and emotionallyB．it takes up her money for health insuranceC．it plunges her family into financial troubleD．it uses up her family savings93、Which of the following statements about New YorkState is TRUE?A．It offers full pay for women on maternity leave．B．It offers extra pay to people caring for fathers．C．It uses disability funds for indecent purposes．D．It plans to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers．94、If Garro lives in Massachusetts, she is supposed to __A．have 12 weeks off at half payB．leave her job without pay to take care of her kidsC．telecommute full-timeD．get $20 per month from her employer for her leave95、The author holds an attitude of towards paid leave．A．indifferenceB．approvalC．suspicionD．opposition96、 Business groups do not supportA．the idea of paid leaveB．the federal family-leave lawsC．use of unemployment funds for paid leaveD．cut in pay for women on maternity leave97、根据以下资料，回答97-116题：The business suit has for a long time been the uniformfor male office workers．But it is not very satisfactory．For a start, it means that all men look the same, give or take their ties．But that is not the only problem： at the height of summer the business suit is hot and stuffy, restricting movement, and-~since the suit must always be worn with a tie---it demands tightness at the neck that cause sun necessary discomfort and irritation．Women in offices are free to wear what they please,within certain limits．Some women wear business suits, too;but these are usually less formal and, most importantly, they are designed to show off the feminine shape to advantage．The same cannot be said for the male suit．Most men look unattractive in them．They are shapeless, lumpy and dull in color and do nothing for the male physique．A male office worker's only way of expressing himself in this boring business uniform is through his selection of ties．The tie becomes his outward sign of inner personality． Unfortunately, few men have any sense of style and fewer still stop toponder what their personality is really like．For this reason, many male office workers go to work in appallingly loud,garish ties, in the mistaken belief that they look good．Add to all this is the problem of cleaning a man'ssuit．Do men actually dean them at all? A private (and notvery scientific) study of male office workers indicates that they do not．Unlike their female counterparts, who are alwaystaking clothes to the dry-cleaners even when they have only been worn once in the past three weeks, men send their suitsto the cleaners perhaps once a season．And yet most men wear the same suit several days a week, with just a change ofshirt and tie for variety．Why do men not rebel and find some other way of dressingat the office? Well, they have thought this problem through very carefully．They realize how many hours they can savefrom their morning routine by wearing the same clothes day in, day out．Whereas the average female office worker takes timeto plan what she will wear in the morning before ironing her outfit and finding coordinating fashion accessories, all aman has to do is leap out of bed, fumble around in the closet for his underwear and the first available shirt that hasn't had tomato sauce dripped down its front, select a tie at random (only the most fastidious attempt a color matchbetween suit, shirt and tie)and step into the trousers that have been draped across the back of an armchair in the bedroom the previous night．Simple．Now, where did he leavehis shoes and socks?The author seems to say that __A．few men have any sense of style and taste in clothingB．women don't feel fond of suitsC．wearing suits requires no thought and gives men extra timeD．suits cause unnecessary discomfort and irritation98、Women's business suits are different from men's inthatA．they are not dull in colorB．they do not have any limit about the styleC．they are usually formal and attractiveD．they are designed to show off the feminine shape99、What does the writer say about the cleaning of business suits?A．Women wash their suits every day．B．Men seldom wash their suits．C．Mon take suit-cleaning seriouslyD．Women often take undressed clothes to the dry-cleaners．100、By saying "rebel" in the last paragraph, the writer means __A．stop wearing suitsB．resist the limitsC．dress like wowenD．resign from o rice101、The tone of the author isA．embarrassing and uncomfortableB．desperate and hopelessC．humorous and amusingD．painful and sufferingPART Ⅵ WRITING SECTION A COMPOSITION (35 MIN)102、The fast pace of modern society helps people realize the preciousness of time．So it is very important for them to keep punctual under whatever circumstances．Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE The a importance composition of about 200 words on the following to topic：You are to write in three parts．In the first part, state specifically what your opinion is．In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your opinionIn the last part, bring what you have written to anatural conclusion or make a summary．Marks will be awarded for content, organization, language and appropriateness．Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks．SECTION B NOTE-WRITING (10 MIN)103、Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation：Your friend Jack has lent you a book．Write him a note to express your thanks and explain how helpful the book is．Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness．。

America-breakthroughs such as the telegraph, the steamboat and the weaving machine? Among the many shaping factors, I would single out the country's excellent elementary schools; a labor force that welcomed the new technology; the practice of giving premiums to inventors; and above all the American genius for nonverbal, "spatial" thinking about things technological． Why mention the elementary schools? Because thanks to these schools ourearly mechanics, specially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at horn, in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry． Acute foreign observers related American adaptiveness and inventiveness to this educational advantage． As a member of a British commission visiting here in 1853 reported, "With a mind prepared by thorough school discipline, the American boy develops rapidly into the skilled workman．" A further stimulus to invention came from the "premium" system, which preceded our patent system and for years ran parallel with it．This approach, originated abroad, offered inventors medals, cash prizes and other incentives．In the United States, multitudes of premiums for new devices were awarded at country fairs and at the industrial fairs in major cities．Americans flocked to these fairs to admire the new machines and thus to renew their faith in the beneficence of technological advance． Given this optimistic approach to technological innovation, American workers took readily to that special kind of nonverbal thinking required in mechanical technology．As Eugene Ferguson has pointed out, "A technologist thinks about objects that cannot be reduced tounambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in his mind by a visual, nonverbal process．．．The designer and the inventor．．．are able to assemble and manipulate in their minds devices that as yet do not exist．" This nonverbal "spatial" thinking can be just as creative as painting and writing．Robert Fulton once wrote, "The mechanic should sit down among levers, screws, wedges, wheels, etc．like a poet among the letters of the alphabet, considering them as an exhibition of his thoughts, in which a new arrangement transmits a new idea．" When all these shaping forces---schools, open attitudes, the premium system, a genius for spatial thinking--interacted with one another on the rich U．S．mainland, they produced that American characteristic, emulation．Today that word implies mere imitation．But in earlier times it meant a friendly but competitive striving for fame and excellence．According to the author, the great outburst of major inventions in early America was in a large part due to A．a special way of thinking B．enthusiastic workers C．the attractive premium system D．elementary school83、Which of the following statements about early American mechanics is TRUE? A．They had received privileged home training． B．They contributed to disciplined school management． C．They are the result of technological development． D．They benefited a lot from their mathematical knowledge．84、According to the passage, the premium system __ A．was an American invention B．appeared before the patent system C．is as important as the patent system D．is supported by the federal government85、A technologist can be compared to an artist because they both_______． A．use various instruments B．abandon verbal description C．arc experts in special thinking D．are winners of awards86、The best title for this passage mightbe_____． A．Inventive Mind B．Effective Schooling C．Ways of Thinking D．Technological Advance87、根据以下资料，回答87-106题： If winning is everything, British anthropologists have some advice: Wear red．Their survey of four sports at the2004 Olympic Games in Athensshows competitors were more likely to win their contests if they wore red uniforms or red body armor． "Across a range of sports, we find that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning," report Russell A．Hill and Robert A．Barton of the University of Durham in England．Their findings are in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature． Red coloration is associated with aggression in many animals．Often it is sexually selected so that scarlet markings signal male dominance．Just think of the red stripes on the scowling face of the male Mandrill, Africa's largest monkey species．But red is not exclusively a male trait．It's the female black widow spider that is venomous sand displays a menacing red dot on her abdomen． Similarly, the color's effect also may subconsciously intimidate opponents in athletic contests, especially when the athletes are equal in skill and strength, the researchers suggest．In their survey, the anthropologists analyzed the results of four combat sports at the summer games: boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling．In those events, the athletes were randomly assigned red protective gear and other sportswear．Athletes wearing red gear won more oftenin 16 of 21 rounds of competition in all four events．The effect was the same regardless of weight classes, too: 19 of 29 classes had more red winners, and only four rounds had more blue winners, The red effect also might come into play in team sports．The anthropologists made a preliminary analysis of the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament, in which teams wore jerseys of different colors indifferent matches．They found that five teams scored more goals and won more often when they wore shirts that were predominantly red, as opposed to blue or whitejerseys． Scientists don't precisely know how wearing red might give athletes an advantage．But the color delivers implicit messages of vigor and danger．When people get angry, their faces turn red．It's also a reason why stop signs are red．So are most Ferraris．Red color is associated with all of the followingEXCEPT________． A．controlling power of male Mandrills B．greater chances of winning in sports C．menacing characteristics of female back widow spiders D．higher speed of automobiles88、The word "intimidate" in Paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to________． A．threaten B．imitate C．distract D．confuse89、Which of the following statements about red effect in sports is TRUE? A．It works for athletic contestonly． B．It varies from different weight classes． C．It exists in team sports． D．It is not so obvious in other sports as in soccer．90、Scientists are sure that the color red A．encourages athletes to win B．is a signal of vigor C．is superior to the color blue D．delivers messages, f mental advantage 91、根据以下资料，回答91-110题： When Gina Garro and Brian Duplisea adopted 4-month-old Andres from Colombia last month (they also have a 6-year-old daughter), they were determined to take time off from work to care for him．Though Garro's $40,000salary will cover their mortgage, the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts, and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car．"It takes away from you your cushion and your security," says Garro．"Things will be tight．" The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act was supposed to help familieslike Garro's, offering a safety net to employees who want to take time off to nurture newborns, tend to their own major illnesses or care for sick relatives． But while the law guarantees that workers won't lose their jobs, it doesn't cover their paychecks．One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999, 2．7 million more wanted to, but couldn't afford it．That may change soon．In response to increasing demand from voters, at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave．One possibility: tapping state disability funds．A handful of states--New York, New Jersey, California, Rhode Island and Hawaii--already dip into disability money to offer partial pay for women on maternity leave．But that doesn't help dads or people caring for elderly parents．New Jersey and New York may soon expand disability programs to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers．Thirteen states, including Arizona, Illinois and Florida, have proposed using unemployment fund to pay for leave． Massachusetts has been especially creative．When the state's acting governor, Jane Swift, gave birth to twin daughters in May, she drew attention to the issue with her own "working maternity leave": shetelecommuted part-time but earned her usual full-time salary．Even before Swift returned to work last week, the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health -insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay．Another plan, proposed in the House, would require employers to kick in $20 per worker to set up a "New Families Trust Fund．"．Businesses would get tax credits in return．This week Swift is expected to announce her own paid-leave plan for lower-income mothers and fathers．Polls show widespread public support--another reason Swift and other politicians across the, country have embraced the issue． Still, not everyone's wild about the idea．People without children question wh y new parents--the first group to get paid leave under many of the proposed plans--should get more government perks than they do．Business groups are resistant to proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have; already filed suit to block them．As the economy slows, many companies say they can't afford to contribute to proposed new benefit funds either．Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family, leave laws by taking time off for dubiousreasons or in tiny time increments．The proposed laws, they say, would on y make matters worse． For Garro and Duplisea, though, the new laws could make all the difference．As Melina fixes a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, Duplisea hugs a snoozing Andres against his T-shirt "We're trying to do the right thing by two kids, and we have to sacrifice," Duplisea says．In Massachusetts and plenty of other states, help maybe on the way．From the first paragraph, we learn that____． A．the couple have made a lot of sacrifices to take care of theirchildren B．Garro can earn more money so she should go back to work C．Duplisea's boss is so considerate as to allow him to keep his job D．Garro and Duplisea used to live a comfortable and easy life92、When Garro says "It takes away from you your cushion and your security", she means ________． A．it makes her feel insecure physically and emotionally B．it takes up her money for health insurance C．it plunges her family into financial trouble D．it uses up her family savings93、Which of the following statements about New York State is TRUE? A．It offers full pay for women on maternityleave． B．It offers extra pay to people caring for fathers． C．It uses disability funds for indecent purposes． D．It plans to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers．94、If Garro lives in Massachusetts, she is supposed to __ A．have 12 weeks off at half pay B．leave her job without pay to take care of her kids C．telecommute full-time D．get $20 per month from her employer for her leave95、The author holds an attitude of towards paidleave． A．indifference B．approval C．suspicion D．opposition96、 Business groups do not support A．the idea of paid leave B．the federal family-leave laws C．use of unemployment funds for paid leave D．cut in pay for women on maternity leave97、根据以下资料，回答97-116题： The business suit has fora long time been the uniform for male office workers．But it is not very satisfactory． For a start, it means thatall men look the same, give or take their ties． But that is not the only problem: at the height of summer thebusiness suit is hot and stuffy, restricting movement, and-~since the suit must always be worn with a tie---it demands tightness at the neck that cause sun necessary discomfort and irritation． Women in offices are free to wear what they please, within certain limits．Some women wear business suits, too; but these are usually less formal and, most importantly, they are designed to show off the feminine shape to advantage．The same cannot be said for the male suit．Most men look unattractive in them．They are shapeless, lumpy and dull in color and do nothing for the male physique．A male office worker's only way of expressing himself in this boring business uniform is through his selection of ties．The tie becomes his outward sign of inner personality． Unfortunately, few men have any sense of style and fewer still stop to ponder what their personality is really like．For this reason, many male office workers go to work in appallingly loud, garish ties, in the mistaken belief that they look good． Add to allthis is the problem of cleaning a man's suit．Do men actually dean them at all? A private (and not very scientific) study of male office workers indicates that they do not．Unlike their female counterparts, who arealways taking clothes to the dry-cleaners even when they have only been worn once in the past three weeks, men send their suits to the cleaners perhaps once a season．And yet most men wear the same suit several days a week, with just a change of shirt and tie for variety． Why do men not rebel and find some other way of dressing at the office? Well, they have thought this problem through very carefully．They realize how many hours they can save from their morning routine by wearing the same clothes day in, day out．Whereas the average female office worker takes time to plan what she will wear in the morning before ironing her outfit and finding coordinating fashion accessories, all a man has to do is leap out of bed, fumble around in the closet for his underwear and the first available shirt that hasn't had tomato sauce dripped down its front, select a tie at random (only the most fastidious attempt a color match between suit, shirt and tie)and step into the trousers that have been draped across the back of an armchair in the bedroom the previous night．Simple．Now, where did he leave his shoes and socks?The author seems to say that __ A．few men have any sense of style and taste in clothing B．women don't feel fond of。
