However, the reality is that many doctors struggle with debt and financial difficulties for years before they can build a stable career.According to a recent survey, more than 75% of doctors have student loan debt, and the average amount is over $200,000. It takes an average of 10 years for doctors to pay off their loans completely. This burden often leads to high stress levels and affects doctors' quality of life.Additionally, the cost of medical malpractice insurance for doctors has increased significantly in recent years. This additional financial burden can make it even more challenging for doctors to achieve financial stability. Despite the long and demanding working hours, many doctors still find it difficult to make ends meet.In order to address these challenges, medical schools and professional organizations are working together to provide financial literacy courses and resources for aspiring doctors. By improving financial education and planning, doctors are better equipped to manage their debt and make informed financial decisions.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Doctors have high incomes.B. Doctors suffer from financial difficulties.C. Doctors have long working hours.D. Doctors receive financial support from professional organizations.12. How long does it take for doctors to pay off their student loans on average?A. 5 years.B. 7 years.C. 10 years.D. 15 years.13. Why do doctors struggle with financial stability?A. They have high stress levels.B. They lack financial literacy.C. They have expensive lifestyles.D. They face high medical insurance costs.14. What are medical schools and professional organizations doing to help doctors?A. Providing job opportunities.B. Offering scholarships.C. Providing financial education.D. Reducing medical malpractice insurance costs.15. What is the purpose of improving doctors' financial education?A. To help doctors make informed financial decisions.B. To increase doctors' working hours.C. To decrease doctors' student loan debts.D. To provide financial support to doctors.第三部分：写作部分（Writing）任务一：报告类写作任务（Task 1: Report Writing）题目：某城市的交通拥堵情况要求：以图表形式将2019年和2023年该城市的交通拥堵情况进行比较，并描述变化原因以及可能的解决方案。

It is concerned with the people of Africa, the Americas, Asia, the pacific and parts of Europe. While this includes complex kingdoms, as in Africa, and ancient empires, such as those of the twentieth century focus of attention in the twentieth century has been on small-scale societies. Through its collections, the Department's specific interest is to document how objects are created and used, and to understand their importance and significance to those who produce them. Such objects can include both the extraordinary and the mundane, the beautiful and the banal.The collections of the Department of Ethnography include approximately 300,000 artefacts, of which about half are the product of the present century. The Department has a vital role to play in pro- viding information on non-Western cultures to visitors and scholars. To this end, the collecting emphasis has often been less on individual objects than on groups of mate- rang of a society's cultural expressions. Much of the more recent collecting was carried out in the field, sometimes by Museum staff working on general anthropological projects in collaboration with a wide variety of national governments and other institutions. The material collected includes great technical series-for instance, of textiles from Bolivia. Guatemala, Indonesia and areas of West Africa-or of artefact types such as boats. The latter include working examples of coracles from India, reed boats from lake Titicaca in the Andes, kayaks from the Arctic, and dug-out canoes from several countries. The field assemblages, such as those from the Sudan, Madagascar and Yemen, include a whole range of material culture representative of one people. The might cover the necessities of life of an African herdsman or on Arabian farmer, ritual objects, or even on occasion airport art, Again, a series of acquisitions might represent a decade's fieldwork documenting social experience as expressed in the varieties of clothing and jewellery styles, tents and camel trappings from various Middle Eastern countries, or in the developing preferences in personal adornment and dress from Papua New Guinea. Particularly interesting are a series of collections which continue to document the evolution of ceremony and of material forms for which the Department already possesses early (if not the earliest) collections formed after the first contact with Europeans.The importance of these acquisitions extends beyond the objects themselves. They come to the Museum with documentation of the social context, ideally inc luding photographic records. Such acquisitions have multiple purposes. Most significantly they document for future change. Most people think of the cultures represented in the collection in terms of the absence of advanced technology. in fact. traditional practices draw on a continuing wealth of technological ingenu iry Limited resources and ecological constraints are often overcome by personal skills that would be regarded as exceptional in the West. Of growing interest is the way in which much of what we might see as disposable is, elsewhere, recycled and reused.With the independence of much of Asia and Africa after 1945. it was assumed that economic progress would rapidly lead to the disappearance or assimilation of many small-scale societies. Therefore, it was felt that the Museum should acquire materials representing people whose art or material culture, ritual or political structures were on the point of irrevocable change. This attitude altered with the realisation that marginal communities can survive and adopt in spite of partial integration into a notoriously fickle world economy. Since the seventeenth century, with the advent of trading companies exporting manufactured textiles to North America and Asia, the importation of cheap goods has often contributed to the destruction of local skills and indigenous markets. On the one hand modem imported goods may be used in on everyday setting, while on the other hand. other traditional objects may still be required for ritually significant events. Within this context trade and exchange attitudes are inverted. What are utilitarian objects to a Westerner may be prizedobjects in other cultures- when trans- formed by local ingenuity-principally for aesthetic value. in the same way, the West imports goods form other peoples and in certain circumstances categorises the m as ‘art'.Collections act as an ever-expanding database, not merely for scholars and anthropologists, but for people involved in a whole range of educational and art is tic purposes. These include schools and universities as well as colleges of art and design. The provision of information about non-Western aesthetics and techniques, not just for designers and artists but for all visitors, is a growing responsibility for a Department whose own context is an increasingly multicultural European society.Questions 1-6Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement is true according to the passageFALSE if the statement is false according to the passageNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passageExample AnswerThe Department of Ethnography FALSEreplaced the Department of Antiquitiesat the British Museum.1 The twentieth-century collections come mainly from mainstream societies such as the US and Europe.2 The Department of Ethnography focuses mainly on modern societies.3 The Department concentrates on collecting single unrelated objects of great value.4 The textile collection of the Department of Ethnography is the largest in the world.5 Traditional societies are highly inventive in terms of technology.6 Many small-scale societies have survived and adapted in spite of predictions to the contrary.Questions 7-12Some of the exhibits at the Department of Ethnography are listed below (Questions 7-12).The writer gives these exhibits as examples of different collection types.Match each exhibit with the collection type with which it is associated in Reading Passage 1.Write the appropriate letters in boxes 7-12 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any collection type more than once.Collection TypesAT A rtefact T ypesEC E volution of C eremonyFA F ield A ssemblagesSE S ocial E xperienceTS T echnical S eriesExample AnswerBoats AT7 Bolivian textiles8 Indian coracles9 airport art10 Arctic kayaks11 necessities of life of an Arabian farmer12 tents from the Middle EastREADING PASSAGE 2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 13-25 which are based on Reading Passage 2 on the following pages.Questions 13-15Reading Passage 2 has six sections A-F.Choose the most suitable headings for sections A, B and D from the list of headings below.Write the appropriate numbers i-vii in boxes 13-15 on your answer sheet.List of Headingsi Amazonia as unable to sustain complexsocietiesii The role of recent technology in ecologicalresearch in Amazoniaiii The hostility of the indigenous populationto North American influencesiv Recent evidencev Early research among the Indian Amazonsvi The influence of prehistoric inhabitants onAmazonian natural historyvii The great difficulty of changing localattitudes and practices13 Section A14 Section BExample AnswerSection C iv15 Section DSecrets of the ForestA In 1942 Allan R Holmberg, a doctoral student in anthropology from Yale University, USA, ventured deep into the jungle of Bolivian Amazonia and searched out an isolated band of Siriono Indians. The Siriono, Holmberg later wrote, led a "strikingly backward" existence. Their villages were little more than clusters of thatched huts. Life itself was a perpetual and punishing search for food: some families grew manioc and other starchy crops in small garden plots cleared from the forest, while other members of the tribe scoured the country for small game and promising fish holes. When local resources became depleted, the tribe moved on. As for technology, Holmberg noted, the Siriono "may be classified among the most handicapped peoples of the world". Other than bows, arrows and crude digging sticks, the only tools the Siriono seemed to possess were "two machetes worn to the size of pocket-knives".B Although the lives of the Siriono have changed in the intervening decades, the image of them as Stone Age relics has endured. Indeed, in many respects the Siriono epitomize the popular conception of life in Amazonia. To casual observers, as well as to influential natural scientists and regional planners, the luxuriant forests of Amazonia seem ageless, unconquerable,a habitat totally hostile to human civilization. The apparent simplicity of Indian ways of life has been judged an evolutionary adaptation to forest ecology, living proof that Amazonia could not - and cannot - sustain a more complex society. Archaeological traces of far more elaborate cultures have been dismissed as the ruins of invaders from outside the region, abandoned to decay in the uncompromising tropical environment.C The popular conception of Amazonia and its native residents would be enormously consequential if it were true. But the human history of Amazonia in the past 11,000 years betrays that view as myth. Evidence gathered in recent years from anthropology and archaeology indicates that the region has supported a series of indigenous cultures for eleven thousand years; an extensive network of complex societies - some with populations perhaps as large as 100,000 - thrived there for more than 1,000 years before the arrival of Europeans. (Indeed, some contemporary tribes, including the Siriono, still live among the earthworks of earlier cultures.) Far from being evolutionarily retarded, prehistoric Amazonian people developed technologies and cultures that were advanced for their time. If the lives of Indians today seem "primitive", the appearance is not the result of some environmental adaptation or ecological barrier; rather it is a comparatively recent adaptation to centuries of economic and political pressure. Investigators who argue otherwise have unwittingly projected the present onto the past.D The evidence for a revised view of Amazonia will take many people by surprise. Ecologists have assumed that tropical ecosystems were shaped entirely by natural forces and they have focused their research on habitats they believe have escaped human influence. But as the University of Florida ecologist, Peter Feinsinger, has noted, an approac h that leaves people out of the equation is no longer tenable. The archaeological evidence shows that the natural history of Amazonia is to a surprising extent tied to the activities of its prehistoric inhabitants.E The realization comes none too soon. In June 1992 political and environmental leaders from across the world met in Rio de Janeiro to discuss how developing countries can advance their economies without destroying their natural resources. The challenge is especially difficult in Amazonia. Because the tropical forest has been depicted as ecologically unfit forlarge-scale human occupation, some environmentalists have opposed development of any kind. Ironically, one major casualty of that extreme position has been the environment itself. While policy makers struggle to define and implement appropriate legislation, development of the most destructive kind has continued apace over vast areas.F The other major casualty of the "naturalism" of environmental scientists has been the indigenous Amazonians, whose habits of hunting, fishing, and slash-and-burn cultivation often have been represented as harmful to the habitat. In the clash between environmentalists and developers, the Indians, whose presence is in fact crucial to the survival of the forest, have suffered the most. The new understanding of the pre-history of Amazonia, however, points toward a middle ground. Archaeology makes clear that with judicious management selected parts of the region could support more people than anyone thought before. The long-buried past, it seems, offers hope for the future.Questions 16-21Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 2?In boxes 16-21 on your answer sheet writeYES if the statement agrees with the views of the writerNO if the statement contradicts the views of the writerNOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about thisExample AnswerThe prehistoric inhaditants of NOAmazonia were relatively backward intechnological terms.16 The reason for the simplicity of the Indian way of life is that Amazonia has always been unable to support a more complex society.17 There is a crucial popular misconception about the human history of Amazonia.18 There are lessons to be learned from similar ecosystems in other parts of the world.19 Most ecologists were aware that the areas of Amazonia they were working in had been shaped by human settlement.20 The indigenous Amazonian Indians are necessary to the well-being of the forest.21 It would be possible for certain parts of Amazonia to support a higher population.Questions 22-25Choose the appropriate letters A-D and write them in boxes 22-25 on your answer sheet.22 In 1942 the US anthropology student concluded that the SirionoA were unusually aggressive and cruel.B had had their way of life destroyed by invaders.C were an extremely primitive society.D had only recently made permanent settlements.23 The author believes recent discoveries of the remains of complex societies in AmazoniaA are evidence of early indigenous communities.B are the remains of settlements by invaders.C are the ruins of communities established since the European invasions.D show the region has only relatively recently been covered by forest.24 The assumption that the tropical ecosystem of Amazonia has been created solely by natural forcesA has often been questioned by ecologists in the past.B has been shown to be incorrect by recent research.C was made by Peter Feinsinger and other ecologists.D has led to some fruitful discoveries.25 The application of our new insights into the Amazonian past wouldA warn us against allowing any development at all.B cause further suffering to the Indian communities.C change present policies on development in the region.D reduce the amount of hunting, fishing, and 'slash-and-burn'.READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 26-40 which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.HIGHS & LOWSHormone levels - and hence our moods - may be affected by the weather. Gloomy weather can cause depression, but sun- shine appears to raise the spirits. In Britain, for example, the dull weather of winter drastically cuts down the amount of sunlight that is experienced which strongly affects some people. They become so depressed and lacking in energy that their work and social life are affected. This condition has been given the name SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), Sufferers can fight back by making the most of any sunlight in winter and by spending a few hours each day under special, full-spectrum lamps. These provide more ultraviolet and blue- green light than ordinary fluorescent and tungsten lights. Some Russian scientists claim that children learn better after being exposed to ultraviolet light. In warm countries, hours of work are of ten arranged so that workers can take a break, or even a siesta, during the hottest part of the day. Scientists are working to discover the links between the weather and human beings' moods and performance.It is generally believed that tempers grow shorter in hot, muggy weather. There is no doubt that 'crimes against the person' rise in the summer, when the weather is hotter and fall in the winter when the weather is colder. Research in the United States has shown a relation- ship between temperature and street riots. The frequency of riots rises dramatically as the weather gets warmer, hitting a peak around 27-30~C. But is this effect really due to a mood change caused by the heat? Some scientists argue that trouble starts more Often in hot weather merely because there are more people in the street when the weather is good.Psychologists have also studied how being cold affects performance. Re- searchers compared divers working in icy cold water at 5~C with others in water at 20~C (about swimming pool temperature). The colder water made the divers worse at simple arithmetic and other mental tasks. But significantly, their performance was impaired as soon as they were put into the cold water - before their bodies had time to cool down. This suggests that the low temperature did not slow down mental functioning directly, but the feeling of cold distracted the divers from their tasks.Psychologists have conducted studies showing that people become less secptical and more optimistic when the weather is sunny. However, this apparently does not just depend on the temperature. An American psychologist studied customers in a temperature- controlled restaurant. They gave bigger tips when the sun was shining and smaller tips when it wasn't, even though the temperature in the restaurant was the same. Alink between weather and mood is made believable by the evidence for a connection between behaviour and the length of the daylight hours. This in turn might involve the level of a hormone called melatonin, produced in the pineal gland in the brain. The amount of melatonin falls with greater exposure to daylight. Research shows that melatonin plays an important part in the seasonal behaviour of certain animals. For example, food consumption of stags increases during the winter, reaching a peak in February/ March. It falls again to a low point in May, then rises to a peak in September, before dropping to another minimum in November. These changes seem to be triggered by varying melatonin levels.In the laboratory, hamsters put on more weight when the nights are getting shorter and their melatonin levels are falling. On the other hand, if they are given injections of melatonin, they will stop eating altogether. It seems that time cues provided by the changing lengths of day and night trigger changes in animals' behaviour - changes that are needed to cope with the cycle of the seasons. People's moods too, have been shown to react to the length of the day- light hours. Sceptics might say that longer exposure to sunshine puts people in a better mood because they associate it with the happy feelings of holidays and freedom from responsibility, However, the belief that rain and murky weather make people more unhappy is borne out by a study in Belgium, which showed that a telephone counselling service gets more telephone calls from people with suicidal feelings when it rains.When there is a thunderstorm brewing, some people complain of the air being 'heavy' and of feeling irritable, moody and on edge. They may be reacting to the fact that the air can become slightly positively c harged when large thunderclouds are generating the intense electrical fields that cause lightning flashes. The positive charge increases the levels of serotonin (a chemical involved in sending signals in the nervous system). High levels of serotonin in certain areas of the nervous system make people more active and reactive and, possibly, more aggressive. When certain winds are blowing, such as the Mistral in southern France and the Fshn in southern Germany, mood can be affected - and the number of traffic accidents rises. It may be significant that the concentration of positively charged particles is greater than normal in these winds. In the United Kingdom, 400,000 ionizers are sold every year. These small machines raise the number of negative ions in the air in a room. Many people claim they feel better in negatively charged air.Questions 26-28Choose the appropriate letters A-D and write them in boxes 26-28 on your answer sheet.26 Why did the divers perform less well in colder conditions?A They were less able to concentrate.B Their body temperature fell too quickly.C Their mental functions were immediately affected by the cold.D They were used to swimming pool conditions.27 The number of daylight hoursA affects the performance of workers in restaurants.B influences animal feeding habits.C makes animals like hamsters more active.D prepares humans for having greater leisure time.28 Human irritability may be influenced byA how nervous and aggressive people are.B reaction to certain weather phenomena.C the number of ions being generated by machines.D the attitude of people to thunderstorms.Questions 29-34Do the following statements agree with the information in Reading Passage 3?In boxes 29-34 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement is true according to the passageFALSE if the statement is false according to the passageNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage29 Seasonal Affective Disorder is disrupting children's education in Russia.30 Serotonin is an essential cause of human aggression.31 Scientific evidence links 'happy associations with weather' to human mood.32 A link between depression and the time of year has been established.33 Melatonin levels increase at certain times of the year.34 Positively charged ions can influence eating habits.Questions 35-37According to the text which THREE of the following conditions have been scientifically proved to have a psychological effect on humans?Choose THREE letters A-G and write them in boxes 35-37 on your answer sheet,A lack of negative ionsB rainy weatherC food consumptionD high serotonin levelsE sunny weatherF freedom from worryG lack of counselling facilitiesQuestions 38-40Complete each of the following statements with the best ending from the box below.Write the appropriate letters A-G in boxes 38-40 on your answer sheet.38 It has been established that social tension increases significantly in the United States I during ...39 Research has shown that a hamster's bodyweight increases according to its exposure to...40 Animals cope with changing weather and food availability because they are influenced by...A daylightB hot weatherC melatoninD moderate temperaturesE poor co-ordinationF time cuesG impaired performanceWritingWRITING TASK1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in developing and industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.You should write at least 150 words._________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________。

But despite thissetback, William was determined to get his education.He began visiting a local library that had just openedin his old primary school, where he discovered atattered science book. With only a rudimentary graspof English, he taught himself basic physics-mainly byStudying photos and diagrams. Another book hefound there featured windmills on the cover andinspired him to try and build his own.He started by constructing a small model. Then, with the help of a cousin and friend, he spent many weeks searching scrap yards and found old tractor fans, shock absorbers, plastic pipe and bicycle parts, which he used to build the real thing.For windmill blades, William cut some bath pipe in two lengthwise, then heated the pieces over hot coals to press the curled edges flat. To bore holes into the blades, he stuck a nail through half a corncob, heated the metal red and twisted it through the blades. It took three hours to repeatedly heat the nail and bore the holes. He attached the blades to a tractor fan using proper nuts and bolts and then to the back axle of a bicycle. Electricity was generated through the bicycle dynamo. When the wind blew the blades, the bike chain spun the bike wheel, which charged the dynamo and sent a current through wire to his house.What he had built was a crude machine that produced 12 volts and powered four lights. When it was all done, the windmill’s wingspan measured more than eight feet and sat on top of a ricketytower 15 feet tall that swayed violently in strong gales. He eventually replaced the tower with a sturdier one that stands 39 feet, and built a second machine that watered a family garden.The windmill brought William Kamkwamba instant local fame, but despite his accomplishment, he was still unable to return to school. However, news of his magetsi a mphepo -electric wind -spread beyond Malawi, and eventually things began to change. An education official, who had heard news of the windmill, came to visit his village and was amazed to learn that William had been out of school for five years. He arrayed for him to attend secondary school at the government's expense and brought journalists to the farm to see the windmill. Then a story published in the Malawi Daily Mail caught the attention of bloggers, which in tum caught the attention of organizers for the Technology Entertainment and Design conference.In 2007, William spoke at the TED Global conference in Tanzania and got a standing ovation. Businessmen stepped forward with offers to fund his education and projects, and with money donated by them, he was able to put his cousin and several friends back into school and pay for some medical needs of his family. With the donation, he also drilled a borehole for a well and water pump in his village and installed drip irrigation in his father's fields.The water pump has allowed his family to expand its crops. They have abandoned tobacco and new grow maize, beans, soybeans, potatoes and peanuts. The windmills have also brought big lifestyle and health changes to the other villagers. 'The village has changed a lot,1 William says. 'Now, the time that they would have spent going to fetch water, they are using for doing other things. And also the water they are drinking is dean water, so there is less disease. The villagers have also stopped using kerosene and can use the money previously spent on fuel to buy other things.William Kamkwamba's example has inspired other children in the village to pursue science. William says they now see that if they put their mind to something, they can achieve it. 'It has changed the way people think,’ he says.Questions 1-5Complete the flow chart below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Building the WindmillWilliam learned some 1 .......... from a library book.First, he built a 2 ............. of the windmill.Then he collected materials from 3.............. with a relative.He made the windmill blades from pieces of 4. .............He fixed the blades to a 5 .............. and then to part of a bicycle.He raised the blades on a tower.Questions 6-10Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?

In 2010,the most common mode of transportation was by car, accounting for 45% of the population, followed by public transport at 35%. Biking and walking were less popular, with 15% and 5% respectively.By 2020, there was a significant shift in the transportation preferences of the city's residents. The use of public transport increased to 40%, while the percentage of car users remained relatively stable at 42%. There was a notable increase in the number of people cycling, which rose to 20%, and walking also saw a slight increase to 8%.Overall, the data indicates a gradual move towards more sustainable modes of transportation, with public transport and cycling becoming more popular over the decade.Task 2：议论文Some people believe that the government should invest more in large-scale construction projects, while others think that thegovernment should spend more on social programs. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Answer:There is a debate on whether the government should prioritize large-scale construction projects or social programs. Proponents of infrastructure development argue that it stimulates economic growth, creates jobs, and improves the quality of life for citizens. For instance, the construction of new roads, bridges, and public buildings can enhance connectivity and accessibility, which in turn can attract businesses and tourists, boosting the local economy.On the other hand, advocates for increased spending on social programs contend that these initiatives directly address the needs of the most vulnerable members of society. Social programs such as healthcare, education, and welfare can reduce poverty, improve public health, and ensure that all citizens have access to essential services. Investing in social programs can also lead to long-term benefits, such as a more educated workforce and a healthier population.In my opinion, a balanced approach is necessary. While infrastructure projects are crucial for economic development, social programs are equally important for the well-being of the population.The government should allocate resources to both areas, ensuring that the needs of the economy and the citizens are met. This can be achieved by conducting thorough assessments of the community's needs and setting priorities based on the potential benefits and long-term impacts of each investment.四、口语部分Part 1: Introduction and Interview1.

环球雅思学校入学测试题（基础类）环球雅思学校入学英语水平测试题（45-50分钟内完成）Question sheet1. ReadingTask 1The Man behind Blue JeansLevi Strauss was born in 1829 in Bavaria, Germany. He was the fifth of six children. His father sold dry goods from door to door. (Dry goods include many different things: fabric, thread, scissors, combs, buttons, yarn, etc.)In 1845, his father died. All six children decided to go to the United States. Two of Strauss? bothers started a dry goods company in New York City. Strauss? sister Fanny and her husband started a similar business in San Francisco. Strauss decided to go to the southeastern part of the United States. For eight years, he walked along the country roads selling dry goods from door to door -- just like his father in Bavaria.In 1853, Strauss decided to move to San Francisco. (At that time, thousands of people traveled to California to look for gold.) On the way to California, Strauss sold almost all of his dry goods. He had only one thing left -- some canvas.In California, Strauss tried to sell the canvas to the gold miners. He said they could make tents from the canvas. But they weren?t interested in canvas for tents. Strauss didn?t know what to do with the canvas. Then, he had an idea. Strauss could see that the miners needed new pants. There were holes in their pants because the fabric wasn?t strong. He decided to make the canvas into pants. They called them “Levi?s”. Later, Straussstopped using canvas and used a different fabric. It was a heavy cotton fabric -- the same kind people wear today.Levi Strauss died in 1902. He never married and left his money to his nephews. He left the world much more -- the jeans that so many people wear.(1) ________ isn…t a kind of dry goods. A. Thread B. Gold C. Comb D. Yarn(2) What is canvas?A. Tent.B. Pants.C. A very strong fabric.D. A thing which is used to make all kinds of trousers.(3) Why did the miners call the pants “Levi?s”?A. Because the pants belonged to Levi Strauss? father.B. In memory of Levi Strauss? father.C. It…s the name of Levi? Strauss? nephew.D. Because the pants are Levi?s invention.(4) Choose the right order of these happenings.a. Strauss decided to move to San Francisco.b. Strauss? father died.c. Two of Strauss? brothers started a dry goods company in New York City.d. Strauss invented the jeans.A. a-b-c-dB. a-d-b-cC. b-a-c-dD. b-c-a-d(5) Which of the following is NOT true about Levi Strauss？A. He was born in Germany.B. His parents had six children.C. He had five children.D. He died in 1902.Task 2Awareness Weeks have become a regular part of Britain?s cultural landscape over the past few years. They started back in 1957, when one charity, Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.They were right, and soon other charities and campaign groups followed them. These days, most donations to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “raising awareness” -- spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support. They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.There are now 500 awareness weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May or October.The danger with all these awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical. Take National Smile Week, it seems like a great idea. Let?s all make each other?s life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. But really it?s just a group of den tists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. It?s enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week.“People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says Ms Ormiston, who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encouragespeople who run Awareness Weeks to become more aware of each other. “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”“There?s still no official group for awareness campaigns,”says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets or their public relations machines allows.”This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.But there is another way. Maybe it?s time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.(6) What?s the main purpose of awareness weeks run by charities in Britain?A．T o raise money for charities. B．T o spread knowledge of charities.C．T o take up marketing campaigns. D．To advertise their goods for sale.(7) Why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks?A．T oo many awareness weeks make people feel bored.B．People feel many awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.C．People have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.D．Awareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised.(8) What does Ms Ormiston think about awareness weeks?A．Most of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.B．Official groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.C．People can do what they like in awareness weeks.D．People can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.(9) Which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns?A．Laws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.B．There should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns.C．Business and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same place.D．Marketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.(10) What?s the writer?s view on Awareness Weeks?A．National Forget About It Week should be held to stop awareness weeks.B．National Smile Week is a great idea to improve people?s life.C．National Weak Awareness Week can help people better understand awareness weeks.D．Awareness Weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.2.

The question is, are prospective university students getting value for money? Paying up to $40,000 for a university education, they need reliable information in order to compare institutions and courses.(B)There are now two official guides comparing universities, but not courses.As a result, academic controversy has arisen over their adequacy, and because of concerns about comparability and accuracy of data. When comparing universities, one should be aware of what exactly is being measured, and whether the information is useful. Professor Brian Smith, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Western Sydney, says, “There is as much variation within on university as between universities; no university has all the best activities, and no university is without its strengths.”(C)It takes little sense for prospective students to choose to go to a universitysimply because it has an excellent reputation. It is wiser to look first at the overall characteristics and reputation of a university, and then at the faculty or discipline desired. To do this one must have access to quality data for each discipline.(D)Let us look at three ways we can now rank universities. Agovernment-appointed Quality Review Committee made the first ranking of universities in 1993. It divided the 35 universities in Australia into six quality bands based mainly on research and teaching outcomes. In the top band, only two universities were represented: one from NSW (the University of NSW) and the other from the ACT (the Australian National University).(E)Sydney and Wollongong universities were both in the second ranking.Wollongong was the only newer university to make such a high grade.Macquarie and the University of Technology, Sydney, were in band four;Charles Sturt, Canberra, New England and Newcastle were in band five. In band six were the Australian Catholic University and the University of Western Sydney.(F)This ranking has drawn much criticism, since it was based on whatuniversities spent on research, and not on the quality of teaching. However, it should be stated that this was the first year of a continuing quality review. Next, the Quality Review Committee will assess the teaching record of universities.(G)T he Department of Education Employment and Training (DEET) haspublished 50 indicators of diversity and performance of Australian universities. This lists comparative data on everything from academic staff ratio and percentage of staff with PhDs, to expenditure on library grants.The document says it does not rank universities, and is designed to assist students to make informed comparisons. But the universities can be ranked by each measure using a key indicators of success –positive graduate outcomes – which combines the percentage of recent graduates in full-time work and / or full-time study.(H)Here, the University of Technology, Sydney, emerges as the leader in NSW,with 83.2% of its graduates in work and / or study, just behind the ANU with 83.5%. Sydney has 79.8%, Charles Sturt 75.5%, Wollongong 74.1%, Macquarie 73.2%, UNSW 73.1%, Newcastle 72.5%, New England / Southern Cross 72%, and Western Sydney 69.7%.(I)Professor Gannicort, a Professor of Education at Wollongong University,has developed his own “performance table”, ranking Australian universities using some of the DEET data –including the number of government research grants and grants from industry, as well as the number of recent graduates in full-time work or study. This time the University of Queensland tops the league. Sydney is third, UNSW fifth, ANU sixth, Macquarie 10th, Newcastle 15th, and all the other NSW universities well down in rankings. He says this show that the key factors which determine better university performance are what has always beensupposed: that is, high quality students, numerous well-qualified staff, and non-proliferation of courses.(J)Interestingly, Ms.Barbara Bell, the National Recruitment Manager for the Institute of Chartered Accountants, claims employers are not so much interested in the university as in the skills and all-round quality of graduates. Those graduates who lack communication skills, for example, are at a big disadvantage. Ms. Bell quotes a recent survey that found a quarter of employers of graduates chose not to rank universities “because they said there was no correlation between the university and performance”.(K)Dr. Michael Dack, Public Affairs Director of the Institution of Engineers, has commented that the prestige of a university does not count. The smaller universities are tailoring courses and products to the marketplace better than the large universities. They are trying harder to produce graduates who are acceptable to industry and employers. Traditional universities are often more academic and less industry-linked. He argues strongly the case for more broadly educated graduates. For example, the trend in engineering was to produce graduates with a broader education, communication and financial skills, and knowledge of the environmental and political context. Engineers with other skills were able to weather times of economic recession much better.Questions 1-5The reading passage contains 11 paragraphs (A-K). Which paragraphs includes the information below?1.Advice regarding the best way to judge the worth of a particular facultywithin a university.2.The case for a non-traditional approach to choosing the best university andan example within a particular discipline.3.Negative comment on the Quality Review Committee’s first ranking ofuniversities.4.Ranking universities using three well-known key factors.5.A discussion of how it is possible to rank universities according to howlikely graduates are to achieve success after graduation.Questions 6-9Look at the following statements (Questions 6-9).Write YES if the statement agrees with information in the passage NO if the statement contradicts information in the passageNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage6.Prospective students should consider the reputation of the universitybefore choosing the faculty.7.The university ranking system by the Quality Review Committee waswell-received by students.8.The Quality Review Committee’s basis for determining the ranking wasthe quality of tuition.9.The Committee will next review the amount universities spend onresearch.Questions 10-12Complete the following sentences with appropriate words or phrases.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.10.The government-appointed Quality Review Committee rankedAustralia’s universities within __________________________________. 11.I n order to rank universities, some of the DEET data was used by ProfessorGannicort to produce a ________________________________________. 12.E mployers are unlikely to employ graduates who ___________________.PART3 WRITING（选用测试, 20 min.）You should spend 20 minutes on this task.Write about the following topic:Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 150 words.PART3 SPEAKING(选用测试, 5 min.)。

Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about three billion people by then. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% larger than Brazi l) wi l l be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming methods continue as they are practised today.At present, throughout the wor ld, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use. Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. What can be done to ensure enough food for the world’s population to live onThe concept of indoor farming is not new, since hothouse production of tomatoes and other produce has been in vogue for some time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this technology to accommodate another three bi l lion people. Many believe an entirely new approach to indoor farming is required, employing cutting-edge technologies. One such proposal is for the ‘Vertical Farm’.The concept is of multi-storey buildings in which food crops are grown in environmentally controlled conditions. Situated in the heart of urban centres,they would drastically reduce the amount of transportation required to br ing food to consumers. Vertical farms wou ld need to be efficient,cheap to construct and safe to operate.If successfully implemented, proponents claim, vertical farms offer the promise of urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and varied food supply (throughyear-round production of all crops), and the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been sacrificed for horizontal farming.It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow most of the crops we now take for granted. Along the way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts. Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban species, in which 60% of the human population now lives vertically in cities. This means that, for the majority, we humans have shelter from the elements, yet we subject our food-bearing plants to the rigours of the great outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good weather year. However, more often than not now, due to a rapidly changing climate, that is not what happens. Massive floods, long droughts, hurricanes and severe monsoons take their toll each year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops.The supporters of vertical farming claim many potential advantages for the system. For instance, crops would be produced all year round, as they would be kept in artificially controlled,optimum growing conditions. There would be no weather-related crop fai lures due to droughts, floods or pests. Al l the food could be grown organical ly, eliminating the need for herbicides, pesticides and ferti l isers. The system wou ld great ly reduce the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at the agr icu ltural interface. Although the system wou ld consume energy, it would return energy to the grid via methane generation from composting nonedible parts of plants. It would also dramatically reduce fossil fuel use, by cutting out the need for tractors, ploughs and shipping.A major drawback of vertical farming, however, is that the plants would require artificial light. Without it, those plants nearest the windowswould be exposed to more sunlight and grow more quickly, reducing the efficiency of the system. Singlestorey greenhouses have the benefit ofnatural overhead light: even so, many still need artificial lighting.A multi-storey facility with no natural overhead light would require far more. Generating enough light could be prohibitively expensive, unless cheap, renewable energy is available, and this appears to be rather a future aspiration than a likelihood for the near future.One variation on vertical farming that has been developed is to grow plants in stacked trays that move on rai ls. Moving the trays al lows the plants to get enough sunlight. This system is already in operation, and works well within a single-storey greenhouse with light reaching it from above: it is not certain, however,that it can be made to work without that overhead natural light.Vertical farming is an attempt to address the undoubted problems that we face in producing enough food for a growing population. At the moment, though, more needs to be done to reduce the detrimental impact it would have on the environment, particularly as regards the use of energy. While it is possible that much of our food will be grown in skyscrapers in future, most experts current ly believe it is far more likely that we wi l l simply use the space available on urban rooftops.Indoor farmingComplete the sentences below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Indoor farming1.

The US continues to lead the way, with as many as 37% of its children and adolescents carrying around too much fat. But other countries are rapidly catching up. According to statistics presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Finland, more than 20% of European youngsters between the ages of 5 and 17 are either overweight or obese. Asia lags behind the US and Europe in its obesity statistics, but Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the Philippines have all reported troubling increases in recent years. Up to 10% of China's 290 million children are already believed to be overweight or obese, and that percentage is expected to have doubled a decade from now. So across Asia too, childhood obesity is on the rise, and a less marked trend has been documented even in urbanized areas of sub-Saharan Africa.B Why do children become obese? One important factor is insulin, a hormone which enables the body to store extra calories as fat. Physical exercise helps control insulin levels, while ingesting fat combined with starches and sugar can cause surges in insulin levels. A child who sits in front of the TV for hours on end, eating potato chips and doughnuts, is an ideal fat-storage machine.C What is urgently needed is for schools, health professionals, parents and children to work together. Encouragingly, changing a family's lifestyle in healthy ways does not appear to be all that difficult: it involves regular exercise, slightly smaller portions and slightly different foods. And this, say health officials, is a message that badly needs to get out.Questions 11-16Do the following statements agree with the information given in Text 1 WriteTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this11.Just over one third of the total population of the US is overweight. T and Europe have an equal proportion of obese children.F13.It is forecast that the proportion of overweight or obese children in China will reach 20% in ten years’ time.F14.There is a downward trend in childhood obesity in some African towns and cities.F15.Insulin levels rise sharply when foods with high levels of starch, sugar and fat are eaten. T16.Parents play the most important role in improving eating habits.NGSection 3Grammar and VocabularyYou should spend about 8 minutes on Questions 25-30 which are based on Grammar and Vocabulary below.Questions 25-27Choose the most appropriate answers lettered A-D.25.

Blues are relatively rare in nature, and painters throughout the ages have therefore found themselves at the mercy of what contemporary chemical technology could offer. Some blues have been prohibitively expensive, others were, unreliable. The quest for a good blue has driven some crucial technological innovations, showing that the interaction of art and science has not always been a one-way affair.The first pigments were simply ground-up coloured minerals dug from the earth. But few blue minerals are suitable as pigments - so there are no blues in cave art. Ancient Egyptian artists used blue prominently, however, because they knew how to make a fine artificial pigment, now known as Egyptian blue.The discovery of Egyptian blue, like that of many other artificial pigments, was almost certainly an accident. The Egyptians manufactured blue-glazed stones and ornaments called faience using a technique they inherited from the Mesopotamians. Faience manufacture was big business in the ancient world - it was traded all over Europe by 1500 BC.Faience is made by heating stone ornaments in a kiln with copper minerals such as malachite. Egyptian blue, which was made from at least 2500 BC, comes from firing chalk or limestonewith sand and copper minerals, and probably appeared by the chance mixture of these ingredients in a faience kiln.Scientists recently deduced the secrets of another ancient blue: Maya blue, used for centuries throughout central America before the Spanish Conquest. This is a kind of clay -a mineral made of sheets of atoms - with molecules of the blue dye indigo wedged between the sheets. Using indigo in this way makes it less liable to decompose. No one has made colours this way since the Mayas, and no one knows exactly how they did it. But technologists are now interested in using the same trick to make stable pigments from other dyes.The finest pigment available to medieval artists was ultramarine, which began to appear in Western art in the 13th century. It was made from the blue mineral lapis lazuli, of which only one source was known: the remote mines of Badakshan, now in Afghanistan. In addition to thedifficulty of transporting the mineral over such distances, making the pigment was a tremendously laborious business. Lapis lazuli turns greyish when powdered because of impurities in the mineral. To extract the pure blue pigment, the powder has to be mixed to a dough with wax and kneaded repeatedly in water.As a result, ultramarine could cost more than its weight in gold, and medieval artists were very selective in using it. Painters since the Renaissance craved a cheaper, more accessible, blue to compare with ultramarine. Things improved in 1704, when a Berlin-based colour maker called Diesbach discovered the first 'modern' synthetic pigment: Prussian blue. Diesbach was trying to make a red pigment, using a recipe that involved the alkali potash. But Diesbach's potash was contaminated with animal oil, and the synthesis did not work out as planned. Instead of red, Diesbach made blue.The oil had reacted to produce cyanide, a vital ingredient of Prussian blue. Diesbach kept his recipe secret for many years, but it was discovered and published in 1724, after which anyone could make the colour. By the 1750s, it cost just a tenth of ultramarine. But it wasn't such a glorious blue, and painters still weren't satisfied. They got a better alternative in 1802, when the French chemist Louis Jacques Thenard invented cobalt blue.Best of all was the discovery in 1826 of a method for making ultramarine itself. The French Society for the Encouragement of National Industry offered a prize of 6,000 francs in 1824 to anyone who could make artificial ultramarine at an affordable price.The Toulouse chemist Jean-Baptiste Guimet was awarded the prize two years later, when he showed that ultramarine could be made by heating china clay, soda, charcoal, sand and sulphur in a furnace. This meant that there was no longer any need to rely on the scarce natural source, and ultramarine eventually became a relatively cheap commercial pigment (called French ultramarine, as it was first mass-produced in Paris).In the 1950s, synthetic ultramarine became the source of what is claimed to be the world's most beautiful blue. Invented by the French artist Yves Klein in collaboration with a Parisian paint manufacturer, Edouard Adam, International Klein Blue is a triumph of modern chemistry. Klein was troubled by how pigments lost their richness when they were mixed with liquid binder to make a paint. With Adam's help, he found that a synthetic resin, thinned with organic solvents, would retain this vibrant texture in the dry paint layer. In 1957, Klein launched his new blue with a series of monochrome paintings, and in 1960 he protected his invention with a patent.Questions 1-4Complete the summary below.

Farmers can make it happen by letting weeds do the work.Across East Africa, thousands of farmers are planting weeds in their maize fields. Bizarre as it sounds, their technique is actually raising yields by giving the insect pests something else to chew on besides maize. 'It's better than pesticides, and a lot cheaper,5 said Ziadin Khan, whose idea it is, as he showed me round his demonstration plots at the Mbita Point research station on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya. 'And it has raised farm yields round here by 60 to 70 per cent'His novel way of fighting pests is one of a host of low-tech innovations boosting production by 100 per cent or more on millions of poor Third World farms in the past decade. This 'sustainable agriculture' just happens to be the biggest movement in Third World farming today, dwarfing the tentative forays into genetic manipulation.In East Africa, maize fields face two major pests, and Khan has a solution to both. The first is an insect called the stem borer, whose larvae eat their way through a third of the region's maize most years. But Khan discovered that the borer is even fonder of a local weed, napier grass. By planting napier grass in their fields, farmers can lure the stem borer away from the maize - and into a honey-trap. For the grass produces a sticky substance that traps and kills stem borer larvae. The second pest is Striga, a parasitic plant that wrecks $10 billion worth of maize crops every year, threatening the livelihoods of 100 million Africans. 'Weeding Striga is one of the most time-consuming activities for millions of African women farmers,' says Khan. But he has an antidote: another weed called Desmodium. 'It seems to release another sort of chemical that Striga doesn't like. At any rate, where farmers plant Desmodium between rows of maize, Striga won't grow.'The success of sustainable agriculture is dispelling the myth that modern techno-farming is the most productive method,' says Miguel Altieri of the University of California, Berkeley. 'In Mexico, it takes 1.73 hectares of land planted with maize to produce as much food as one hectare planted with a mixture of maize, squash and beans. The difference,' he says, 'comes from the reduction of losses due to weeds,insects and diseases and a more efficient use of the available resources of water, light and nutrients. Monocultures breed pests and waste resources.'Researchers from the Association Tefy Saina, a Madagascan group working for local farmers, were looking for ways to boost rice yields on small farms. They decided to make the best use of existing strains rather than track down a new breed of super-rice. Through trial and error, a new system was developed that raises typical rice yields from three to twelve tonnes per hectare. The trick is to transplant seedlings earlier and in smaller numbers so that more survive; to keep paddies unflooded for much of the growing period; and to help the plants grow using compost rather than chemical fertilisers. The idea has grown like wildfire, and 20,000 have adopted the idea in Madagascar alone.Few countries have switched wholesale to sustainable agriculture. But Cuba has. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990 cut off cheap supplies of grain, tractors and agrochemicals. Pesticide use halved overnight, as did the calorie intake of its citizens. The cash-strapped country was forced to embracelow-input farming or starve. 'Today,' says Fernando Funes of the Country's Pasture and Fodder Research Institute, 'teams of oxen replace the tractors, and farmers have adopted organic methods, mixing maize with beans and cassava and doubling yields in the process, helping average calorie intake per person rise back to pre-1990 levels.'Worldwide, one of the most widely adopted sustainable techniques has been to throw away the plough, the ultimate symbol of the farmer. Ploughing aerates the soil, helping rot weeds and crop residues. But it can also damage soil fertility and increase erosion. Now millions of Latin American farmers have decided it isn't worth the effort. A third of Argentina's farms no longer use the plough. Instead, they fight weeds by planting winter crops, such as black oats, or by spraying a biodegradable herbicide such as glyphosate. The farmers saw results in a short time - reduced costs, richer soils, bigger grain yields and increased income,' says Lauro Bassi of EPAGRI, the agricultural research institute in Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil, which has been promoting the idea.Zero-tillage also benefits the planet in general. Unploughed soils hang on to carbon that would otherwise escape into the air as carbon dioxide when organic matter rots. 'A one-hectare field left unploughed can absorb up to a tonne of carbon every year,' says Pretty, 'making soils a vital element in preventing global warming.'Sustainable agriculture is no magic bullet for feeding the world. It is an approach rather than a blueprint. Small farms with low yields stand to gain the most and agribusiness the least. But it does offer an alternative for the millions of small farms that have plenty of hands to work the land, but not the skills or financial resources to adopt conventional mechanised farming.Questions 13-17Complete each of the following statements with the best ending A-I from the box below.13 Napier grass ....G... 16 Ploughing the land ...E...14 The plant called Striga ...C.... 17 Sowing black oats ...D...15 Growing single crops ....A...Questions 18-25 Complete the table below.READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 26-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3.Is Global Warming Harmful to Health? Today, few scientists doubt the atmosphere is warming. Most also agree that the rate of heating is accelerating and that the consequences of this temperature change could become increasingly disruptive. Even high-school students can recite some projected outcomes: the oceans will warm, and glaciers will melt, causing sea levels to rise and salt water to inundate low-lying coasts. Yet less familiar effects could be equally detrimental. Notably, computer models indicate that global warming, and other climate alterations it induces, will expand the incidence and distribution of many serious medical disorders.Heating of the atmosphere can influence health through several routes. Most directly, it can generate more, stronger and hotter heatwaves, which will become especially treacherous if the evenings fail to bring cooling relief. Global warming can also threaten human well-being profoundly, if somewhat less directly by revising weather patterns - particularly by increasing the frequency and intensity of floods and droughts and by causing rapid swings in the weather. Aside from causing death by drowning or starvation, these disasters promote by various means the emergence, resurgence and spread of infectious disease. That prospect is deeply troubling, because infectious illness may kill fewer people in one fell swoop than a raging flood or an extended drought, but once it takes root in a community, it often defies eradication and can invade other areas.Mosquitoes Rule in the HeatDiseases relayed by mosquitoes - such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and several kinds of encephalitis - are among those eliciting the greatest concern as the world warms. Mosquito-borne disorders are projected to become increasingly prevalent because their insect carriers, or 'vectors', are very sensitive to meteorological conditions. Cold can be a friend to humans, because it limits mosquitoes to seasons and regions where temperatures stay above certain minimums. Winter freezing kills many eggs, larvae and adults outright.Excessive heat kills insects as effectively as cold does. Nevertheless, within their survivable range of temperatures, mosquitoes proliferate faster and bite more as the air becomes warmer. At the same time, greater heat speeds the rate at which the pathogens inside them reproduce and mature. As whole areas heat up, then, mosquitoes could expand into formerly forbidden territories, bringing illness with them. Further, warmer nighttime and winter temperatures may enable them to cause more disease for longer periods in the areas they already inhabit.The extra heat is not alone in encouraging a rise in mosquito-borne infection. Intensifying floods and droughts resulting from global warming can each trigger outbreaks by creating breeding grounds for insects whose desiccated eggs remain viable and hatch in still water. As floods recede, they leave puddles. In times of drought, streams can become stagnant pools, and people may put out containers to catch water; these pools and pots, too, can become incubators for new mosquitoes. And the insects can gain another boost if climate change or other processes (such as alterations of habitats by humans) reduce the populations of predators that normally keep mosquitoes in check.Opportunists like Sequential ExtremesThe increased climate variability accompanying warming will probably be more important than the rising heat itself in fuelling unwelcome outbreaks of certain vector-borne illnesses. For instance, warm winters followed by hot, dry summers (a pattern that could become all too familiar as the atmosphere heats up) favor the transmission of St Louis encephalitis and other infections that cycle among birds, urban mosquitoes and humans.This sequence seems to have abetted the surprise emergence of the West Nile virus in New York City in 2000. No one knows how this virus found its way into the US. But one reasonable explanation for its persistence and amplification here centers on the weather's effects on Culex pipiens mosquitoes, which accounted for the bulk of transmission. These urban dwellers typically lay their eggs in damp basements, gutters, sewers and polluted pools of water.The interaction between the weather, the mosquitoes and the virus probably went something like this: the mild winter of 1998-99 enabled many of the mosquitoes to survive into the spring, which arrived early. Drought in spring and summer concentrated nourishing organic matter in their breeding areas and simultaneously killed off mosquito predators, such as lacewings and ladybugs, that would otherwise have helped limit mosquito populations. Drought would also have led birds to congregate more, as they shared fewer and smaller watering holes, many of which were shared, naturally, by mosquitoes.Once mosquitoes acquired the virus, the July heatwave that accompanied the drought would speed up the viral maturation inside the insects.Consequently, as infected mosquitoes sought blood meals, they could spread the virus to birds at a rapid rate. As bird after bird became infected, so did more mosquitoes, which ultimately fanned out to infect human beings. Torrential rains towards the end of August provided new puddles for the breeding of C. pipiens and other mosquitoes, unleashing an added crop of potential virus carriers.SolutionsThe health toll taken by global warming will depend to a large extent on the steps taken to prepare for the dangers. The ideal defensive strategy would have multiple components, including improved surveillance systems to spot the emergence or resurgence of infectious diseases; predicting when environmental conditions could become conducive to disease outbreaks; and limiting human activities that contribute to the heating or that exacerbate its effects.Questions 26-30Complete the sentences below with words taken from Reading Passage 3.

However, this trend brings the students part-time work is good or bad? Next, let us talk about this issue.Its advantage is: First, students working part-time, can reduce the family burden. Most of the students, in order to reduce the burden of parents work outside the home. Such as the number of single-parent families, or parents unable to work and family, despite some social benefits, and the children's tuition or medical expenses for them is a very heavy burden. The students in the amateur or holiday job to earn money, the more difficult for those families, there is a great help.Second, students can be working, training their own. Today, many students study the phenomenon of death is still very common. The books do not stick blindly to practice for students only harm and no good. For example, many low-performing students out to the students make up classes, while also consolidating their own knowledge. So, by working, students can not only realize their value early opportunity, but also teamwork and communication skills.Third, part-time workers also allows students to experience the hardships of life. Many parents agree that children working, there is a very important reason is to allow these small clothing to hand, mouth open for food, miss the young master know that the parents is not easy to make money, while allowing them to get rid of a spendthrift gone bad and then to problems. The students in the process of working to better understand and treasure the grace parents parenting.However, in so many benefits, under the disadvantages of youth working part-time can not be ignored. Students learn conflict with part-time workers, which affect their learning. If the spare time and holidays are going to work on time to pay attention to learn, so few students of the time, Now that the students easily confused by the immediate physical community, created to make money on the misconceptions first place , leading to neglect their studies. This is for those students, it is penny wise and pound-foolish !In addition, the students work outside the home are vulnerable to fraud. We often see on television or newspaper, a certain school students work outside the home, miserable case of unscrupulous traders. These students are not deep, the low level of social awareness, unsuspecting, in the end do not know even how deceived, and so the event has long been uncommon.In short, the young migrant workers, both pros and cons, it should be according to their own conditions and capabilities and the actual situation to decide whether to be part-time job.SPEAKING PART 1（4-5 minutes）The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.Your friends●Do you prefer to have one particular friend or a group of friends?

questions, 4 scores each,total scores: 40)Japan’s efforts to relax whaling restrictions were voted down this week at the annual meeting of the Internationak Whaling commission(Iwc).Yet the possible return of commercial whaling across the world’s oceans still worries conservationists.At the IWC gathering in Ulsan,Korea,which ended today,Japan failed in its bid to life a ban on commercial whaling.But IWC members agreed to meet again to reconsider the issue with a view to ending the 19-year moratorium.In the wake of this latest impasse,some groups have called for the IWC to be reformed.Among those voicing criticism was Rune Frovik,secretary of the High North Alliabce,which represents fisherman and whalers in Nordic countries. “It’s just conflict all the time,”he told the BBC. “They say they want to continue with a process,but in fact they are blocking progress.”Despite setbacks for pro-whaling nations,such as Japan and Norway,they managed to further undermine the IWC:The countries indicated they will press ahead with plans to increase the nummber of whales killed under the rubric of scientific research programs.Japan signalled its intention to double its annual scientific catch of minke whales to about 900.It also aims to hunt 50 fin and humpback whales-species conservationists say are threatened.The commission criticized those plans and shot down Japan’s bid to allow communities on its northern Pacific coast to hunt 150 minke whales a year.It also rejected Japan’s push to abolish the whale sanctuary in what many refer to as the Southern Ocean-the Indian,Atlantic,and Pacific Ocean regions that sueeound Antarctica.The International Whaling Commission was formed in 1946 to whaling and to conserve the world’s largest living animals.In 1982,with many whale populations close to extinction following centuries of exploitation,IWC member nations agreed to a ban on all commercial whaling.While the ban remains in effect,Japan,Norway,Iceland,and Greenland continue to hunt limited numbers of whales.The mammals are killed either as food for local consumption or for scientific purpose.Since 1994,the IWC has sought to negotiate a sustainable commercial whaling strategy toreplace the ban.Pro-whaling nations say it’s time for their proposal,known as the Revised Management Scheme(RMS),to be implemented.Japan has threatened to quit the IWC if the plan isn’t adopted.Anti-whaling groups,such as the Wale and Dolphin Conservation Society based in Chippenham,England,oppose the RMS.Groups say the scheme wouldn’t detect,prevent,or penalize whaling violations and would jeopardize endangered whale populations. “Those that believe whaling can be broughe under control have had their eyes closed to the past century,”said Niki Entrup of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.Entrup added that the whaling that has occurred,despite the current moratorium,shows that countries like Japan do not respect the decisions of the IWC.Currently Japan kills about 400 whales a year under the rubic of scientific research.Such programs don't fall within IWC jurisdicton.Norway has also set a quota to kill nearly 800 minke whales this summer.The nation is also considering scientific whaling of other species in future.Wildlife groups say most of the whales hunted under the aegis of scientific research end up being sold as food.Conservationists add that researches don’t need to kill a whale to study it.Non-lethal biopsy darts can potentially tell researchers as much about a whale’s age, sex, diet, reproductive status, and genetics as a carcass can, argues Sue Lieberman, director of the Global Species Program for Conservation of the nonprofit World Wildlife Fund. “I think what this is about is the commercial market fot whale meat in Japan,” she said.However,Japan argues that a total ban on commercial buntinh is no longer justified. The nation says whale populations have recovered in the past two decades and that sustainable harvests are now possible. Japan notes that the IWC’s scienific committee agrees that humpback whale nummbers are increasing by around 10 precent each year.The committee’s most recent estimate also suggests that as many as a million minke whales live arrounf Antarctica alone.Surveys by the North Atlanic Marine Mammals Commission, based in Tromso, Norway, suggest minke whale numbers are either stable or increasing in all ares of the North Atlantic. The commission says current whaling quotas present no threat to the species.Joji Morishita, head of the Japanese IWC delegation, says the Revised Management Scheme, together with monitoring and inspection, would ensure regulated, sustainable whaling. “Science and law should prevail over emotions,”he said. Japan’s Fisheries Ministry accuses nations opposed to any commercial whaling of “cultural imperialism.” Officicals ask how Australia and the United States would take to being told they couln’t hunt kangaroons or deer.As a cheap source of protein, whale meat became a staple in Japan after World War II. Authorities are currently promoting whale meat to younger gernations who are more used to Western-style fooda. In the wester coastal region of Wakeyama, Japan, around 280 schools are being supplied with whale meat. Education officials say they are trying to rekindle a centurues-old culinary tradition. And this week a Japanese fast-food chain, Lucky Pierrot, announced that it's putting whale burgers on it menus.Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage?TRUE if the statement agrees with the textFALSE if the statement contradicts with the textNOT GIVEN if no imformation is given1.The International Whaling Commission (IWC) has decided to contiue with a ban oncommercial whaling,but may change that policy in the future.2.According to Rune Frovik, the Japanese are blocking progress on the whaling issue.3.An area has already been established around Antarctica where whales cannot be hunted.4.Japan, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland are breaking international law by killing whales forlocal food consumption and scientific purposes.5.The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society was formed no oppose the RMS proposedby Japan and other whaling countries.6.Norway has increased its quota of whales to kill to 800 this year.7.Wildlife groups claim that whales are hunted mainly for food, not for scientific research.8.Research by the IWC supports Japan’s argument that whale numbers are rising in someareas.9.Japan says that if it cannot hunt whales,Australians should not hunt kangaroos.10.Japan only began hunting whales after World War II.III. Writing: (tota scoresl: 30)Rich countries provide financial aid to poor country but has less effect ,so rich countries should provide other types of help rather than financial aid. To some extent do you agree or disagree ？(250 words minimum)Key words：Rich countries, financial aid VS other helping types, effects,答案：第一部分：英语知识运用单项选择：1．答案C不定冠词在这儿表示“同一的”如：we’re of an age.我们同岁。
