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.

Some traditions are fairly similar from country to country: candles, cakes and birthday wishes, birthday games and pinches for good luck. Other customs are quite different. Here are a few.Argentina – In Argentina, as in many Latin American countries, one of the most important birthday parties is a girl’s fifteenth. When girls turn 15, they have a huge party and dance the waltz first with their father, and then the boys at the party.China – The birthday child pays respect to the parents and receives a gift of money. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch, and noodl es are served to wish the birthday chil d a l ong life.Denmark – A flag is fl own outsid e a wind ow to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the chil d’s bed while they are sleeping so they will see them immediately when they wake up.The Netherlands – Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called “crown” years and the birthday child receives an especially large gift. The family also decorates the birthday chil d’s chair with fl owers or paper streamers, paper fl owers and ball oons.India – Usually Indian chil dren wear white to school. However, on their birthday children wear col oured clothes to school and give out chocolates to everyone in the class. Their best friend helps them to d o this.Japan – The birthday child wears new clothes to mark the occasion. Certain birthdays are more important than others and these are celebrated with a visit to the local shrine. These are the third and seventh birthdays for girls and the fifth for boys.Match the countries in the box with their descriptions.21A country where l ongevity is celebrated by a special dish________22 A country where candies are distributed among peers ________23 A country where the birthday is made known to the community ________24 A country where the household is full of birthday ornaments ________25 A country where religious worship is sometimes involved ________Passage 2 Intelligence across culturesWhat is intelligence? Is it about being clever and getting A grades in all your school subjects? Or is it more complicated than that? Recent research in Asia, Africaand Latin America suggests the concept of intelligence differs from culture to culture.This research has shown that people in non-Western cultures often have ideas about intelligence that differ fundamentally from those in Western cultures. The studies show that peopl e in Western cultures tend to see intelligence in terms of one’s ability to solve problems engage in rational debate. Meanwhil e, Eastern cultures see intelligence in terms of people’s ability to successfully play their roles within social hierarchies both at home and at work.Researchers at the National Chi-Nan University in Taiwan found that Chinese id eas of intelligence emphasize understanding and relating to others, including knowing when to show and when not to show one’s intelligence.In a study conducted in San Jose, California, immigrant parents from Cambodia, Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as native-born Anglo-Americans and Mexican-Americans, were asked what they saw as important in the devel opment of their children’s intelligence. Parents from all groups – except Anglo-Americans – indicated that motivation and social skills were as important as, or more important than, academic skills in the devel opment of their children.Another study shows major differences in how much importance is given to verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Western cultures seem to value more highly the ability to say things clearly, whereas non-Western cultures seem to value the use and understanding of gestures and facial expressions. Intelligence expert David Lazear says that in the Western worl d we tend to think that the most important thing about being smart is to have skills in reading, writing and mathematics. ‘However, many Asian cultures place at least equal value on the devel opment of one’s interpersonal skills. These includ e being an effective team member, or the ability to create agreement within a group of people.Many Asian cultures also highly rate the development of a person’s introspective abilities.

Some traditions are fairly similar from country to country: candles, cakes and birthday wishes, birthday games and pinches for good luck. Other customs are quite different. Here are a few.Argentina – In Argentina, as in many Latin American countries, one of the most important birthday parties is a girl’s fifteenth. When girls turn 15, they have a huge party and dance the waltz first with their father, and then the boys at the party.China – The birthday child pays respect to the parents and receives a gift of money. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch, and noodl es are served to wish the birthday chil d a l ong life.Denmark – A flag is fl own outsid e a wind ow to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the chil d’s bed while they are sleeping so they will see them immediately when they wake up.The Netherlands – Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called “crown” years and the birthday child receives an especially large gift. The family also decorates the birthday chil d’s chair with fl owers or paper streamers, paper fl owers and ball oons.India – Usually Indian chil dren wear white to school. However, on their birthday children wear col oured clothes to school and give out chocolates to everyone in the class. Their best friend helps them to d o this.Japan – The birthday child wears new clothes to mark the occasion. Certain birthdays are more important than others and these are celebrated with a visit to the local shrine. These are the third and seventh birthdays for girls and the fifth for boys.Match the countries in the box with their descriptions.21A country where l ongevity is celebrated by a special dish________22 A country where candies are distributed among peers ________23 A country where the birthday is made known to the community ________24 A country where the household is full of birthday ornaments ________25 A country where religious worship is sometimes involved ________Passage 2 Intelligence across culturesWhat is intelligence? Is it about being clever and getting A grades in all your school subjects? Or is it more complicated than that? Recent research in Asia, Africaand Latin America suggests the concept of intelligence differs from culture to culture.This research has shown that people in non-Western cultures often have ideas about intelligence that differ fundamentally from those in Western cultures. The studies show that peopl e in Western cultures tend to see intelligence in terms of one’s ability to solve problems engage in rational debate. Meanwhil e, Eastern cultures see intelligence in terms of people’s ability to successfully play their roles within social hierarchies both at home and at work.Researchers at the National Chi-Nan University in Taiwan found that Chinese id eas of intelligence emphasize understanding and relating to others, including knowing when to show and when not to show one’s intelligence.In a study conducted in San Jose, California, immigrant parents from Cambodia, Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as native-born Anglo-Americans and Mexican-Americans, were asked what they saw as important in the devel opment of their children’s intelligence. Parents from all groups – except Anglo-Americans – indicated that motivation and social skills were as important as, or more important than, academic skills in the devel opment of their children.Another study shows major differences in how much importance is given to verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Western cultures seem to value more highly the ability to say things clearly, whereas non-Western cultures seem to value the use and understanding of gestures and facial expressions. Intelligence expert David Lazear says that in the Western worl d we tend to think that the most important thing about being smart is to have skills in reading, writing and mathematics. ‘However, many Asian cultures place at least equal value on the devel opment of one’s interpersonal skills. These includ e being an effective team member, or the ability to create agreement within a group of people.Many Asian cultures also highly rate the development of a person’s introspective abilities. This is the ability to “go inside” and acquire knowledge about yourself and then to be able to act on this increased self-knowledge. When I lived and worked in Africa, I found great importance given to such things as dance, music, art and drama as ways to express the deep wisd om of the culture and to reinforce key personal and social values.All the intelligences were valued, but somehow capacity in these areas was seen as special and even more profound.’Complete the summary below with ONLY ONE WORD from the passage.The notion of intelligence varies significantly from one culture to another.

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.
