PART III CLOZE TEST (10 minutes, 10 points, 1 point each)
Tall people earn considerably more money throughout their lives than their shorter co-workers, with each inch adding about US$789 a year in pay, according to a new study. "Height 41 career success," says Timothy Judge, a University of Florida professor of management, who led the study. "These findings are troubling since, with a few 42 , such as professional basketball, no one could argue that height is something essential required for job 43 ," Judge points out.
Judge analyzed results of four large-scale studies in the US and Britain that followed thousands of people from childhood to adulthood, examining details of their work and personal lives. "If you take this 44 the course of a 30-year career, we're talking about literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of earnings 45 that a tall person enjoys," Judge said.
Greater height boosted both subjective ratings of work performance--a supervisor's 46 of how effective someone is-- and 47 measures of performance--such as sales volume. Being tall may boost self-confidence, improving performance. Other people may also give higher 48 and greater respect to a tall person, giving them
an edge in negotiating states, he says.
The commanding influence of height may be a remainder of our evolutionary 49 . Maybe from a time when humans lived among animals and size was 50 power and strength used when making "fight or run" decisions.

PART IV READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each) Passage One
At the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), a student loaded his class notes into a handheld e-mail device and tried to read them during an exam: a classmate turned him in. At the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) students photographed test questions with their cellphone cameras and transmitted them to classmates. The university put in place a new examination-supervision system. "If they'd spend as much time studying, they'd all be A students," says Ron Yasbin, dean of the College of Sciences of UNLV.
With a variety of electronic devices, American students find it easier to cheat. And college officials find themselves in a new game of cat and mouse. They are trying to fight would-be cheats in the exam season by cutting off Internet access from laptops, demanding the surrender of cellphones before tests or simply requiring that exams be taken with pens and paper.
"It is annoying. My hand-writing is so bad," said Ryan Dapremont, 21 who just finished his third year at Pepperdine University in California. He had to take his exams on paper. Dapremont said technology has made cheating easier, but plagiarism (剽窃) in writing papers was probably the biggest problem. Students can lift other people's writings off the Internet without attributing them.
Still, some students said they thought cheating these days was more a product of the mindset, not the tools at hand. "Some people put too much emphasis on where they're going to go in the future, and all they're thinking about is graduate school and the next step," said Lindsay Nicholas, a third-year student at UCLA. She added that pressure to succeed "sometimes clouds everything and makes people do things that they shouldn't do."
Some professors said they tried to write exams for which it was hard to cheat, posing questions that outside resources would not help answer. Many officials said that they rely on campus honor codes. They said the most important thing was to teach students not to cheat in the first place.
51. One student at UCLA was found cheating ________________.
A. when he was loading his class notes into a handheld e-mail device
B. when he was trying to tell the answers to his classmates
C. after the university put in place a new examination-supervision system
D. after his classmate reported his cheating to the authority
52. According to Ron Yasbin, all the cheating students _____________.
A. should be severely punished for their dishonesty
B. didn't have much time to study before the exam
C. could get the highest grades if they had studied hard enough
D. could be excused because they were not familiar with the new system
53. To win the new game of cat and mouse in examinations, the college officials have to______________.
A. use many high-tech devices
B. cut off Internet access on campus
C. turn to the oral exanimation forms
D. cut off the use of high-tech devices
54. According to Ryan Dapremont, ______________.
A. examinations taken with pens and paper were useless in fighting cheating
B. his examination paper was under-graded because of his bad hand-writing
C. cheating was more serious in writing papers than in examinations
D. it was more difficult for him to lift other people's writings off the Internet
55. Which of the following is probably the most Significant measure to fight cheating?
A. Putting less emphasis on where the students are going to go in the future.
B. Letting students know that honesty is more important.
C. Writing examinations for which it is hard to cheat.
D. Setting up more strict campus honor codes.
56. The best title of the passage might be_____________.
A. Cheating Has Gone High-tech
B. Game of Cat and Mouse
C. A New Examination-supervision System
D. Measures to Fight Against Dishonesty
Passage Two
Top marathon runners tend to be lean and light, star swimmers are long thighs with huge feet and gold medal weightlifters are solid blocks of muscle with short arms and legs. So, does your physical shape--and the way your body works--fit you for a particular sport? Or does your body develop a certain way because of your chosen sport?
"It's about 55:45, genes to the environment," says Mike Rennie, professor of clinical physiology at Britain's University of Nottingham Medical School. Rennie cites the case of identical twins from Germany, one of whom was a long-distance athlete, the other a powerful sportsman, so, "They look quite different, despite being identical twins."
Someone who's 1.5-meters tall has little chance of becoming an elite basketball player. Still, being over two meters tall won't automatically push you to Olympic gold. "Unless you have tactical sense where needed, unless you have access to good equipment, medical care and the psychological conditions, and unless you are able to drive yourself through pain, all the physical strength will be in vain," said Craig Sharp, professor of sports science at Britain's Brunel University.
Jonathan Robinson, an applied sports scientist at the University of Bath's sports development department, in southwest England, points to the importance of technique. "In swimming only 5-10 per cent of the propelling force comes from the legs, so technique is vital."
Having the right physique for the right sport is a good starting point. Seventeen years ago, the Australian Institute of Sport started a national Talent Search Program, which searched schools for 14-16-year-olds with the potential to be elite athletes. One of their first finds was Megan Still, world champion rower. In 1987, Still had never picked up an oar in her life. But she had almost the perfect physique for a rower. After intensive training, she won gold in women's rowing in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Other countries have followed the Australian example. Now the explosion of genetic knowledge has meant that there is now a search, not just for appropriate physique but also for "performance genes."
57. It can be concluded from the passage that__________.
A. physical strength is more important for sportspersons' success
B. training conditions are more important for sportspersons' success
C. genes are more important for sportspersons' success
D. psychological conditions are more important for sportspersons' success
58. The case of identical twins from Germany shows that_________.
A. environment can help determine people's body shape
B. genes are the decisive factors for people's body shape
C. identical twins are likely to enjoy different sports
D. identical twins may have different genes for different sports
59. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Craig Sharp as a required quality for a sportsperson to win an Olympic gold medal?
A. The physical strength.
B. The right training conditions.
C. The talent for the sports.
D. The endurance for pains.
60. Seventeen years ago Megan Still was chosen for rowing because____________.
A. she had the talent for rowing
B. her body shape was right for a rower
C. she had the performance genes
D. she was a skillful rower
61. The word "elite" in Paragraph 5 means ________ .
A. the most wealthy
B. the most skilled
C. the most industrious
D. the most intelligent
62. The elite athletes of the future may come from people who naturally possess___________.
A. the best body shapes and an iron purpose
B. the extremes of the right physique and strong wills
C. the right psychological conditions and sports talents
D. the right physique and genes for sports
Passage Three
For years, a network of citizens' groups and scientific bodies has been claiming that science of global warming is inconclusive. But who funded them?
Exxon's involvement is well known. ExxonMobil is the world's most profitable corporation. It makes most of its money from oil, and has more to lose than any other company from efforts to tackle climate change. To safeguard its profits, ExxonMobil needs to sow doubt about whether serious action needs to be taken on climate change. But there are difficulties: it must confront a scientific consensus as strong as that which maintains that smoking causes lung cancer or that HIV causes Aids. So what's its strategy?
The website https://www.doczj.com/doc/8d9908941.html,, using data found in the company's official documents, lists 124 organizations that have taken money from the company or work closely with those that have. These organizations take a consistent line on climate change: that the science is contradictory, the scientists are split, environmentalists are liars or lunatics, and if governments took action to prevent global warming, they would be endangering the global economy for no good reason. The findings these organizations dislike are labeled "junk science". The findings they welcome are labeled "sound science".
This is not to claim that all the science these groups champion is bogus. On the whole, they use selection, not invention. They will find one contradictory study - such as the discovery of tropospheric (对流层的) cooling - and promote it relentlessly. They will continue to do so long after it has been disproved by further work. So, for example, John Christy, the author of the
troposphere paper, admitted in August 2005 that his figures were incorrect, yet his initial findings are still being circulated and championed by many of these groups, as a quick internet search will show you.
While they have been most effective in the United States, the impacts of the climate-change deniers sponsored by Exxon have been felt all over the world. By dominating the media debate on climate change during seven or eight critical years in which urgent international talks should have been taking place, by constantly seeding doubt about the science just as it should have been most persuasive, they have justified the money their sponsors have spent on them many times over. 63. Which of the following has NOT been done by the organizations to establish their position on climate change'?
A. Damaging the reputation of environmentalists.
B. Emphasizing the lack of consensus among scientists.
C. Stressing the unnecessary harm to tile global economy.
D. Protecting the scientific discoveries from being misused.
64. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "bogus' (in Paragraph 4)?
A. Reasonable.
B. Fake.
C. Limitless.
D. Inconsistent.
65. John Christy is mentioned to show_______________.
A. how closely these organizations work with scientists
B. how these organizations select scientific findings for their own purpose
C. how important correct data are for scientists to make sound discoveries
D. how one man's mistake may set back the progress of science
66. The organizations sponsored by Exxon ___________.
A. have lived up to their promises
B. have almost caused worldwide chaos
C. have failed to achieve their original goal
D. have misunderstood the request of the sponsor
67. The passage is mainly focused on____________.
A. Exxon's involvement in scientific scandals
B. Exxon's contributions to the issue of climate change
C. Exxon's role in delaying solutions to global warming
D. Exxon's efforts to promote more scientific discoveries
68. What is the author's tone in presenting the passage?
A. Factual.
B. Praiseful.
C. Biased.
D. Encouraging.
Passage Four
Where anyone reaching the age of 60 was considered to be near death's door at the turn of the 20th century, it is barely old enough for retirement at the turn of the 21st century. And scientists are still not holding back. They say that as new anti-ageing treatments become available, our species will get even older. While few would argue that living longer is an attractive idea, the rapid increase in the number of years begs a question: Can our health expectancy be as close as possible to our life expectancy?
Predictions for future health expectancy have changed over the past few decades. In the 1980s, life expectancy was increasing but the best data suggested that for every increased year of life expectancy, a greater fraction was disabled life expectancy. What we would see was a piling up of chronic illness and related disability which medical science couldn't prevent.
But that world view changed suddenly in the early 1990s with the publication of a study by researchers at Duke University, who had been following the health of 20,000 people for almost a decade. They showed that disability among the elderly was not only dropping, but it was doing so at an ever-increasing rate.
Arian Richardson, director of the Barshop Institute for Ageing and Longevity research, predicts that understanding the mechanisms behind calorie restriction and other genetic reasons behind ageing could be used within the next two decades to give people several extra healthy years of life. Restrict how much an animal eats, for example, and it will live longer. In lab experiments, rats on calorie-restricted diets were found to be physiologically younger, got diseases later in life and, at any rate, had less severe cases. "From the models that have been looked at, the increase in lifespan is usually in the range of 15-30% maximum," says Richardson. Cutting calories is thought to trigger a switch in an animal's behaviour from normal to a state of stasis in which growth and ageing are temporarily put on hold. When food becomes available again, the animal's behaviour switches back.
Richardson says that thinking about stopping ageing is a "little bit silly" at the moment but doesn't dismiss it altogether, arguing that none of the illnesses related to ageing should be inevitable. Start with a high-quality body (and that means eating your greens, not smoking and doing lots of exercise in your younger days) and you can keep it going for longer with high quality maintenance. "It'll be like the difference between a Rolls-Royce and a cheap car."
69. It can be seen from the first paragraph that people have doubts on whether _____________.
A. is possible to live a longer healthy and life
B. humans can live as long as scientists predict
C. living longer is still considered a good idea
D. new anti-ageing treatments are safe for humans
70. In the 1980s, the data on people's health expectancy_______________.
A. gave an optimistic prediction
B. showed an unclear future
C. led to a pessimistic perception
D. turned out to be a mixed blessing
71. In the lab experiment on rats,_____________.
A. food restriction is not the only factor proved to have worked
B. responses to food restriction vary from animal to animal
C. the animals' lifespan increases with the amount of food eaten
D.different amounts of food cause a change in the animals' behavior
72. Richardson believes that_________.
A. it is impossible for humans to stop ageing
B. it is worthless to talk about stopping ageing
C. stopping ageing is a dream that may come true
D. illness is the biggest obstacle to stopping ageing
73. Rolls-Royce is used to convey the idea that_______________.
A. quality life is out of reach for most people
B. quality life can slow down the process of aging
C. how long one can live depends on the genes one carries
D. the more money one invests in health, the healthier one will be.
74. The most suitable title for the passage is “___________”.
A. Problems of An Ageing Society
B. Health Care for the Elderly
C. Eating Healthier, Living Longer
D.The Future of Old Age
Passage Five
In dealing with a student who is acting aggressively toward his classmates, you want to send a strong message that aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in your classroom. In addition, you want to help him develop more appropriate ways of settling disputes with his peers.
If two elementary school students are engaged in a fight, use a strong loud voice to stop it. If that doesn't work, you might say something odd ("Look up! The ceiling is falling!") to divert their attention. If they still don't stop and you can't separate them, send a student to the office to get help. If a crowd of children is gathering, insist that they move away or sit down, perhaps clapping your hands to get their attention: After the incident is over, meet with the combatants together so they can give you their versions of what happened and you can help them resolve any lingering problems. Also notify the parents.
Speak in a firm, no-nonsense manner to stop a student's aggressive behavior: use physical restraint as a last resort. When responding to the student, pay attention to your verbal as well as non-verbal language. Even if he is yelling at you, stay calm. Allow him to express what he is upset about without interrupting him and then acknowledge his feelings. Avoid crossing your arms, pointing a finger or making threats: any of those actions could intensify his anger and stiffen his resistance.
You might conclude that a student's aggressive behavior warrants separating him from the rest of the class, either to send him a strong message that what he did merits a serious consequence or to protect the other students. You can do that by giving him a time out in class or by sending him to the office.
Although he might expect you to react punitively, surprise him by reacting supportively. Express your confidence that he can resolve problems without being hurtful to his peers. Tell him that you think he must be upset about something to lose control as he did and you want to understand what might be bothering him. If he does open up to you, listen attentively without interrupting. Speaking m a calm voice, tell him that you understand why he was upset, but stress that he has to find a way to express his anger with words rather than with his hands.
You don't want to force an aggressive student to say he is sorry because that might fuel his anger, however, you do want to strongly encourage him to make amends with the student he hit. If he is willing to do that, it will help soothe hurt feelings and avoid future conflicts.
75. What is the purpose of saying something odd when seeing students in a fight?
A. To please the students.
B. To surprise the students.
C. To get the students' attention.
D. To distract the students' attention.
76. What is to be done about a student's aggressive behavior?
A. Respond calmly but finny.
B. Tell the student's parents immediately.
C. Ask other students for help to stop the action.
D. Have the student go to see the principal.
77. What is NOT encouraged to do toward an aggressive student?
A. Use physical restraint.
B. Give the student a time out.
C. Point at the student or make threats.
D. Talk with the student privately.
78. What does the word "'punitively" (in Paragraph 5) probably mean?
A. Surprisingly.
B. Depressingly.
C. Involving persuasion.
D. Involving punishment.
79. What might be the last step to help all aggressive student?
A. Encourage the student to be nice to the student he hit.
B. Ask the student to promise he'll never do it again.
C. Force the student to apologize for his behavior.
D. Persuade the student to open up to you.
80. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Problems in Classrooms.
B. Dealing with Student Aggression.
C. Aggressive Behavior in Classrooms.
D. Settling a Student Fight.
PART V TRANSLATION (30 minutes, 20 points)
Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)
One of the unintended consequences of the flattening world is that it puts different societies and cultures in much greater direct contact with one another. It connects people to people much faster than people and cultures can often prepare themselves. Some cultures thrive on the sudden opportunities for collaboration that this global intimacy makes possible. Others are frustrated, and even humiliated by this close contact, which, among other things, makes it easy for people to see where they stand in the world in relation to everyone else. All of this helps to account for the emergence of one of the most devastating forces today - the suicide bombers and other terrorist organizations which have no regard for human lives and which it is in our best interest to wipe out.

2002年1月 Regrettably for many in Silicon Valley, the ability to make accurate forecasts can depend on how well-established a company’s products are. Young industries on steep growth curves are almost always surprised by how well their products do in the first few y ears, and then they’re at a loss when demand falls. Says a Stanford University business strategy professor, “In a highly dynamic and unpredictable market people are going to make mistakes. It’s inherent in the type of business.” In many corners of Silicon Valley----and elsewhere ----unpredictability is inevitable. One solution: keep innovating but develop sound service businesses to sell with products. Building a “very strong service business”, a company president says, smoothes out the rough spots between innovations. 对于一个公司产品的准确预测取决于该公司产品的知名度。对于许多硅谷人来说，这一点令人感到无可奈何。成长呈急剧上升趋势的新兴产业对其产品在最初几年的出色表现几乎总是惊讶不已，随后，当产品需求下降时他们又会感到手足无措。斯坦福大学的一位商业策略教授说：“在一个充满活力和变数的市场，人们是会犯错误的。这是由市场的内在本质所决定的。” 在硅谷的许多地方，以及在其他的地方，不可预测性是无法避免的。解决之道是：不断创新，但同时又要开发出优良的服务项目与产品一道出售。一位公司总裁说，“出色的服务”会抹平新产品换代过程中出现的不足。 2002年6月 The nations meeting here in Shanghai understand what is at stake. If we don’t stand against terrorism now, every civilized nation will at some point be its target. We will defeat the terrorists by destroying their network, wherever it is found. We will also defeat the terrorists by building an enduring prosperity that promises more opportunity and better lives for all the world’s people. The countries of the Pacific Rim made the decision to open themselves up to the world, and the result is one of the great development success stories of our time. The peoples of this region are more prosperous, healthier, and better educated than they were only two decades ago. And this progress has proved what openness can accomplish. 在上海的与会各国都意识到了目前的危机。如果现在不制止恐怖主义，每个文明国家在将来的某个时候都会成为恐怖主义者的袭击目标。我们将通过摧毁任何地方的恐怖主义网络来打败他们。同时，我们也将

近年汉译英试题 2004年1月 考研的人在英语上花的时间远远多于其它学科，希望英语分数越高越好。许多人坚信成功地秘诀是参加短训班和多背范文，结果却发现此招不灵。他们为提高英语水平做出的努力很难得到回报。 参考译文： Those who take the entrance examination for graduate schools spend much (/far) more time on English than on other subjects, hoping for the highest possible scores of English.
