PART IV READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)
Passage One
The study of genetics has given rise to a profitable new industry called biotechnology. As the name suggests, it blends biology and modern technology through such techniques as genetic engineering. Some of the new biotech companies, as they are called, specialize in agriculture and are working enthusiastically to patent seeds that give a high yield, that resist disease, drought, and frost, and that reduce the need for hazardous chemicals. If such goals could be achieved, it would be most beneficia l. But some have raised concerns about genetically engineered crops. "In nature, genetic diversity is created within certain limits," says the book Genetic Engineering, Food, and Our Environment. "A rose can be crossed with a different kind of rose, but a rose will never cross with a potato. Genetic engineering, on the other hand, usually involves taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to transfer a desired property or character. This could mean, for example, selecting a gene which leads to the production of a chemical with antifreeze properties from an arctic fish, and joining it into a
potato or strawberry to make it frost-resistant. It is now possible for plants to be engineered with genes taken from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans." In essence, then, biotechnology allows humans to break the genetic walls that separate species.
Like the green revolution, what some call the gene revolution contributes to the problem of genetic uniformity--some say even more so because geneticists can employ techniques such as cloning and tissue culture, processes that produce perfectly identical copies, or clones. Concerns about the erosion of biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however, raise new issues, such as the effects that they may have on us and the environment. “We are flying blindly into a new era of agricultural biotechnology with high hopes, few constraints, and little idea of the potential outcomes," said science writer Jeremy Rifkin.
51. According to the author, biotech companies are _____________.
A. mostly specialized in agriculture
B. those producing seeds of better properties
C. mainly concerned about the genetically engineered crops
D. likely to have big returns in their business
52. Now biotech products are made _______.
A. within the limits of natural genetics
B. by violating laws of natural genetics
C. without the interference of humans
D. safer than those without the use of biotechnology
53. In nature, genetic diversity is created __________.
A. by mixing different species
B. within the species itself
C. through natural selection
D. through selection or contest
54. Biotechnology has made it possible ___________.
A. for us to solve the food shortage problem in the world
B. for plants to be produced with genes of humans
C. for humans to assume the cold-resistant property
D. to grow crops with the taste of farm animals
55. According to the author, with the development of biotechnology ________.
A. the species of creatures will be reduced

Passage Two
The practice of capital punishment is as old as government itself. For most of history, it has not been considered controversial. Since ancient times most governments have punished a wide variety of crimes by death and have conducted executions as a routine part of the administration of criminal law. However, in the mid-18th century, social critics in Europe began to emphasize the worth of the individual and to criticize government practices they considered unjust, including capital punishment. The controversy and debate over whether governments should utilize the death penalty continue today.
The first significant movement to abolish the death penalty began during the era known as the Age of Enlightenment. In 1764 Italian jurist and philosopher Cesare Beccaria published An Essay on Crimes and Punishments. Many consider this influential work the leading document in the early campaign against capital punishment. Other individuals who campaigned against executions during this period include French authors Voltaire and Denis Diderot, British philosophers David Hume and Adam Smith, and political theorist Thomas Paine in the United States.
Critics of capital punishment argue that it is cruel and inhumane, while supporters consider it a necessary form
of revenge for terrible crimes. Those who advocate the death penalty declare that it is a uniquely effective
punishment that prevents crime. However, advocates and opponents of the death penalty dispute the proper
interpretation of statistical analyses of its preventing effect. Opponents of capital punishment see the death penalty as a human rights issue involving the proper limits of governmental power. In contrast, those who want
governments to continue to execute tend to regard capital punishment as an issue of criminal justice policy.
Because of these alternative viewpoints, there is a profound difference of opinion not only about what is the right
answer on capital punishment, but also about what type of question is being asked when the death penalty becomes
a public issue.
57. We can learn from the first paragraph that in ancient times ____________.
A. death penalty had been carried out before government came into being
B. people thought it was right for the government to conduct executions
C. death penalty was practiced scarcely in European countries
D. many people considered capital punishment unjust and cruel
58. Why was capital punishment questioned in the mid-18th century in Europe?
A. People began to criticize their government.
B. The government was unjust in this period.
C. People began to realize the value of life.
D. social critics were very active at that time.
59. Italian jurist and philosopher Cesare Beccaria _________.
A. was the first person to question the rightness of death penalty
B. was regarded as an important author criticizing capital punishment
C. was the first person who emphasized the worth of the individuals
D. first raised the theory against capital punishment
60. Critics of capital punishment insist that it ________.
A. violates human rights regulations
B. is an ineffective punishment of the criminals
C. is just the revenge for terrible crimes
D. involves killing without mercy
61. The advocates and opponents of the death penalty_________.
A. agree that it is a human rights issue
B. agree that it can prevent crimes
C. explain its statistical analyses differently
D. think that they are asked different types of questions
62. The author's attitude towards capital punishment can be summarized as _________.
A. supportive
B. critical
C. neutral
D. contradictory
Passage Three
Bears mostly live alone, except for mothers and their babies, and males and females during mating season. Bears
form temporary groups only in exceptional circumstances, when food is plentiful in a small area. Recent evidence
also suggests that giant pandas may form small social groups, perhaps because bamboo is more concentrated than the patchy food resources of other bear species. Other bears may live alone but exist in a social network. A male and female may live in an area partly shared in common--although they tolerate each other, each defends its range from other bears of the same sex. Male young usually leave their mothers to live in other areas, but female young often live in a range that is commonly shared with that of their mother.
The key to a bear's survival is finding enough food to satisfy the energy demands of its large size. Bears travel
over huge territories in search of food, and they remember the details of the landscape they cover. They use their
excellent memories to return to locations where they have had success finding food in past years or seasons. Most
bears are able to climb trees to chase small animals or gain access to additional plant vegetation. The exceptions are polar bears and large adult brown bears--their heavy weight makes it difficult for them to climb trees.
Bears that live in regions with cold winters spend the coldest part of the year asleep in sheltered dens, including
brown bears, American and Asiatic black bears, and female polar bears. Pregnant females give birth in the winter in
the protected surroundings of these dens. After fattening up during the summer and fall when food is abundant, the
bears go into this winter home to conserve energy during the part of the year when food is scarce. Winter sleep differs from hibernation in that a bear is easily aroused from sleep. In addition, a bear's body temperature drops
only a few degrees in its winter sleep. In contrast, a true hibernator undergoes more extensive changes in bodily
functions. For instance, the body temperature of the Arctic ground squirrel drops from 38°C to as low as -3°C.
63. Most bears live alone because _______________.
A. they don't want to keep a social network
B. each bear feeds on different kinds of food
C. male and female bears can't tolerate each other
D. they don't want other bears to share their food
64. According to the passage, bears of the same sex__________.
A. can get along with each other peacefully
B. share their range with each other
C. live in an area partly shared in common
D. cannot live peacefully in the same area
65. As is told about bears in the passage, we know that___________.
A. it is easy for bears to find enough food if they can climb trees
B. a bear can long remember where it has found food
C. all except polar bears are able to climb trees to catch their prey
D. all except polar bears and adult brown bears feed on small animals
66. Bears sleep in their sheltered dens in cold winter because _____________.
A. their babies need to be born in a cold and protected surrounding
B. they need to fatten themselves up in the cold season
C. they need to convert their fat into energy in winter
D. they cannot find enough food in the cold season
67. Winter sleep differs from hibernation in that_______________.
A. animals in hibernation don't wake up easily
B. animals in hibernation are aroused regularly for energy supply
C. the body temperature of animals in winter sleep doesn't change
D. animals in winter sleep experience drastic changes in bodily functions
68. The passage is mainly about____________.
A. the species of bears
B. the food category of bears
C. the winter sleep of bears
D. the behavior of bears
Passage Four
The young man who came to the door--he was about thirty, perhaps, with a handsome, smiling face---didn't
seem to find my lateness offensive, and led me into a large room. On one side of the room sat half a dozen women, all in white; they were much occupied with a beautiful baby, who seemed to belong to the youngest of the women. On the other side of the room sat seven or eight men, young, dressed in dark suits, very much at ease, and very imposing. The sunlight came into the room with the peacefulness that one remembers from rooms in one's early childhood—a sunlight encountered later only in one's dreams. I remember being astounded by the quietness, the ease, the peace, and the taste. I was introduced, they greeted me with a genuine cordiality and respect--and the respect increased my fright, for it meant that they expected something of me that I knew in my heart, for their sakes, I could not give--and we sat down. Elijah Muhammad was not in the room. Conversation was slow, but not as stiff as I had feared it would be. They kept it going, for I simply did not know which subjects I could acceptably bring up. They knew more about me and had read more of what I had written, than I had expected, and I wondered what they made of it all, what they took my usefulness to be. The women were carrying on their own conversation, in
low tones; I gathered that they were not expected to take part in male conversations. A few women kept coming in
and out of the room, apparently making preparations for dinner. We, the men, did not plunge deeply into any
subject, for, clearly, we were all waiting for the appearance of Elijah. Presently, the men, one by one, left the room
and returned. Then I was asked if I would like to wash, and I, too, walked down the hall to the bathroom. Shortly after I came back, we stood up, and Elijah entered. I do not know what I had expected to see. I had read some of his
speeches, and had heard fragments of others on the radio and on television, so I associated him with strength. But,
no---the man who came into the room was small and slender, really very delicately put together, with a thin face,
large warm eyes, and a most winning smile. Something came into the room with him--his worshipers' joy at seeing
him, his joy at seeing them. It was the kind of encounter one watches with a smile simply because it is so rare that
people enjoy one another.
69. Which of the following is the best alternative word for "imposing" (line 6)?
A. Enthusiastic
B. Hostile C, Impressive D. Anxious

B. didn't know one another well
C. wanted to relax themselves
D. awaited the arrival of someone important
74. What can we learn about Elijah?

D. He was happy to give speeches.
Passage Five
Singapore's Mixed Reality Lab is working on new ways of interacting with computers, including wearable devices and a virtual war room that will allow officials to work together online as if they were all in one place. Its director is a spiky-haired Australian, a postmodern match for the fictional British agent James Bond's tool man, Q. It is funded by the Defense Science & Technology Agency, which controls half the $5 billion defense budget, and sponsors hundreds of research projects every year. The agency came to worldwide attention last year when it took just one day to customize a thermal scanner in order to detect travelers with high fever, helping to stem the spread of SARS.
DSTA is now working on a range of projects that are attracting attention in both the commercial and military worlds. It devised an air-conditioning system that harnesses melting ice and cool seawater to conserve electricity at the new Changi Naval Base, and could have broad civilian applications.
Singapore can easily afford Western hardware, but off-the-shelf products are often unsuitable for the tropical
conditions in Southeast Asia. For example, the DSTA is funding development of an anti-chemical-weapons suit that
works not as a shield, but as a sort of weapon. The Singaporean garments, made of a revolutionary plastic-like
material
that is much lighter and cooler than traditional fabrics, actually degrade suspect substances on contact.
Much of the agency's work is geared toward helping this resource-poor city-state overcome its natural limitations, says its director of R&D, William Lau Yue Khei. Conserving manpower is one of the agency's most critical assignments, because Singapore is a nation of 4 million people dwarfed by larger neighbors, including
Indonesia and Malaysia. Right now, the biggest DSTA project is computerizing a stealth warship so that it can run
on half the usual crew. Making equipment lighter is a particular agency specialty, because the universal military
rule of thumb is that a soldier should carry no more than one third his body weight, and that means that smaller
Singaporean soldiers should carry no more than 24 kilos, or 20 percent less than Europeans, says DSTA project manager Choo Hui Weing. One such program: the Advanced Combat Man System, has produced a lightweight
handguard that controls an integrated laser range finder, digital compass and a targeting camera. Top that, Q.
75. It can be inferred from the passage that Q is probably__________.
A. a mechanic in James Bond's garage
B. a fictional Australian with spiky hair
C. a director of the Advanced Combat Man System
D. an imaginary engineer who invents advanced equipment
76. Which of the following statements concerning DSTA is NOT true?
A. It became world-known for its high efficiency in preventing the SARS spread.
B. It funds numerous research programs, including Mixed Reality Lab.
C. It devised an air-conditioning system now widely used in households.
D. It takes credit for conserving electricity at the new Changi Naval Base.
77. The suit described in the third paragraph can be used as a sort of weapon mainly because_________.
A. it is made of a new material resembling plastics
B. it can reduce harmful effects of chemicals on it
C. it has been adapted to the tropical weather there
D. its light weight allows soldiers to carry more equipment
78. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a disadvantage of Singapore?
A. Smaller soldiers.
B. Smaller population.
C. Limited defense budget.
D. Limited natural resources.
79. The Advance Combat Man System is mentioned in the last paragraph mainly to show_______.
A. what DSTA has done to meet the country's special needs
B. how sophisticated the equipments designed by DSTA can be
C. why it is difficult for Q to compete with Choo Hui Weing
D. how Singapore's technology is superior to that of the British
80. The main purpose of the passage is to ______________.
A. analyze Singapore's defense system
B. summarize the contributions of DSTA
C. introduce the technical advantages of a small country
D. describe the roles and achievements of a government agency

Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)
Quitting smoking is more of a matter of willpower than of individual choice, for smoking is widely recognized
as addictive. Although counseling and medication can increase the odds that a smoker quits permanently, the best way to avoid dilemmas is never to take up smoking to begin with.
The irreversible effects of cigarette smoking vary in intensity and are related both to the amount and duration of
exposure and the age at which the person is initially exposed. This report challenges the notion that a few years of
exposure to smoking will have no lasting harmful consequences. We hope to discourage this prevalent but vital
habit and
suggest that tobacco-related health effects decline substantially as time away from smoking increases.

人们普遍认为吸烟成瘾，所以戒烟主要是意志力的问题，而不是个人选择的问题（与其说戒烟是个人选择的问题，不如说是意志力的问题)。虽然就医和药物治疗能增加永久戒烟的概率，但避免进退两难的最好方法是一开始就不吸烟。
吸烟带来的不可逆的影响程度不同，且与烟瘾和烟龄(年头)有关，也与最初接触烟的年龄有关。本报告挑战的是一种观点，即几年的吸烟史不会产生长期的不良后果。我们希望劝说人们不要染上此常见但致命的习惯，并指出随着戒烟时间的增加，烟草对健康产生的影响就会大幅度减少。

People have become increasingly aware of the importance of developing environmentally friendly (pollution-free) products. For the sake of longstanding sustainable development, developed countries are to reduce the
emission of greenhouse gases at any cost. If the current rate of global warming continues, big cities, such as Tokyo and London, are ten times more likely to disappear from the earth as twenty years ago.

2002年1月 Regrettably for many in Silicon Valley, the ability to make accurate forecasts can depend on how well-established a company’s products are. Young industries on steep growth curves are almost always surprised by how well their products do in the first few y ears, and then they’re at a loss when demand falls. Says a Stanford University business strategy professor, “In a highly dynamic and unpredictable market people are going to make mistakes. It’s inherent in the type of business.” In many corners of Silicon Valley----and elsewhere ----unpredictability is inevitable. One solution: keep innovating but develop sound service businesses to sell with products. Building a “very strong service business”, a company president says, smoothes out the rough spots between innovations. 对于一个公司产品的准确预测取决于该公司产品的知名度。对于许多硅谷人来说，这一点令人感到无可奈何。成长呈急剧上升趋势的新兴产业对其产品在最初几年的出色表现几乎总是惊讶不已，随后，当产品需求下降时他们又会感到手足无措。斯坦福大学的一位商业策略教授说：“在一个充满活力和变数的市场，人们是会犯错误的。这是由市场的内在本质所决定的。” 在硅谷的许多地方，以及在其他的地方，不可预测性是无法避免的。解决之道是：不断创新，但同时又要开发出优良的服务项目与产品一道出售。一位公司总裁说，“出色的服务”会抹平新产品换代过程中出现的不足。 2002年6月 The nations meeting here in Shanghai understand what is at stake.

The countries of the Pacific Rim made the decision to open themselves up to the world, and the result is one of the great development success stories of our time. The peoples of this region are more prosperous, healthier, and better educated than they were only two decades ago. And this progress has proved what openness can accomplish. 在上海的与会各国都意识到了目前的危机。如果现在不制止恐怖主义，每个文明国家在将来的某个时候都会成为恐怖主义者的袭击目标。我们将通过摧毁任何地方的恐怖主义网络来打败他们。同时，我们也将
