Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers duringthe past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorabledecline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader underthe age offorty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections ofcriticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews.To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents wereonce deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.2 / 12We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews publishedin England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at atime when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered anornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was takenfor granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length aboutthe events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewerswho wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, couldbe trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as acalling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. “So few authors havebrains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,”Newman wrote, “that I am tempted to define ‘journalism' as ‘a term of contemptapplied by writers who are not read to writers who are.'”Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote forthe Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is nowknown solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though,he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widelyadmired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print,and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospectseems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, andpostmodern readers have little use for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose inwhich he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been inheadlong retreat.21.It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that[A] arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.[B] English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews.[C] high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers.[D] young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.3 / 1222. Newspaper reviews in England before World War II were characterized by[A] free themes. [B] casual style. [C] elaborate layout. [D] radical viewpoints.23. Which of the following would Shaw and Newman most probably agreeon?[A] It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals[B] It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.[C] Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.[D] Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs?24.[A] His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.[B] His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.[C] His style caters largely to modern specialists.[D] His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.25.What would be the best title for the text?[A] Newspapers of the Good Old Days [B] The Lost Horizon in Newspapers[C] Mournful Decline of Journalism [D] Prominent Critics in MemoryText 2The Bilski case involves a claimed patent on a method for hedging risk in theenergy market. The Federal circuit issued an unusual order stating that the casewould be heard by all 12 of the court's judges, rather than a typical panel of three,and that one issue it wants to evaluate is whether it shouldeconsider its statestreet Bank ruling.26.Business-method patents have recently aroused concern because of4 / 12[A] their limited value to business [B] their connection with assetallocation[C] the possible restriction on their granting [D] the controversy over authorization27.Which of the following is true of the Bilski case?[B] It involves a very big business transaction[C] It has been dismissed by the Federal Circuit[D] It may change the legal practices in the U.S.28.The word about-face (Line 1, Para 3) most probably means[A] loss of good will [B] increase of hostility[C] change of attitude [D] enhancement of dignity29.We learn from the last two paragraphs that business-method patents [A] are immune to legal challenges [B] are often unnecessarily issued[C] lower the esteem for patent holders [D] increase the incidence of risks30.Which of the following would be the subject of the text?[A] A looming threat to business-method patents[B] Protection for business-method patent holders[C] A legal case regarding business-method patents[D] A prevailing trend against business-method patentsText 3The researchers' argument stems from a simple observing about social influence, with the exception of a few celebrities like Oprah Winfrey—whose outsizepresence is primarily a function of media, not interpersonal, influence—even the5 / 12most influential members of a population simply don't interact with that manyothers. Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who, according to the two-step-flow theory, are supposed to drive social epidemics by influencing their friendsand colleagues directly. For a social epidemic to occur, however, eachperson soaffected, must then influence his or her own acquaintances, who must in turninfluence theirs, and so on; and just how many others pay attention to each of thesepeople has little to do with the initial influential. If people in the network just twodegrees removed from the initial influential prove resistant, for example from theinitial influential prove resistant, for example the cascade of change won't propagatevery far or affect many people.Building on the basic truth about interpersonal influence, the researchersstudied the dynamics of populations manipulating a number of variables relating ofpopulations, manipulating a number of variables relating to people's ability toinfluence others and their tendency to be influenced. Our work shows that the牰湩楣慰?敲畱物浥湥?潦?桷瑡眠?慣汬尠汧扯污挠獡慣敤屳–the widespreadpropagation of influence through networks –is the presence not of a few influentialsbut, rather, of a critical mass of easily influenced people, each of whom adopts, say, alook or a brand after being exposed to a single adopting neighbor. Regardless of howinfluential an individual is locally, he or she can exert global influence only if thiscritical mass is available to propagate a chain reaction.31.By citing the book The Tipping Point, the author intends to[A] analyze the consequences of social epidemics[B] discuss influentials' function in spreading ideas[C] exemplify people's intuitive response to social epidemics[D] describe the essential characteristics of influentials.32.The author suggests that the wo-step-flow theory[A] serves as a solution to marketing problems[B] has helped explain certainprevalent trends6 / 12[C] has won support from influentials[D] requires solid evidence for its validity33.What the researchers have observed recently shows that[A] the power of influence goes with social interactions[B] interpersonal links can be enhanced through the media[C] influentials have more channels to reach the public[D] most celebrities enjoy wide media attention34. The underlined phrase hese people in paragraph 4 refers to the oneswho[A] stay outside the network of social influence[B] have little contact with the source of influence[D] are influenced by the initial [C] are influenced and then influence othersinfluentialwhat is the essential element in the dynamics of social influence? 35.[A] The eagerness to be accepted [B] The impulse to influenceothers[C] The readiness to be influenced [D] The inclination to rely onothersText 4Bankers have been blaming themselves for their troubles in public. Behind thescenes, they have been taking aim at someone else: the accounting standard-setters.Their rules, moan the banks, have forced them to report enormous losses, and it'sjust not fair. These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third partywould pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch.It was banks that were on the wrong planet, with accounts that vastly overvalued assets. Today they argue that market prices overstate losses, because7 / 12they largely reflect the temporary illiquidity of markets, not the likely extent of baddebts. The truth will not be known for years. But bank's shares trade below theirbook value, suggesting that investors are skeptical. And dead marketspartly reflectthe paralysis of banks which will not sell assets for fear of booking losses, yet arereluctant to buy all those supposed bargains.[A] follow unfavorable asset evaluation rules [B] collect payments from thirdparties[C] cooperate with the price managers [D] reevaluate someof theirassets.37.According to the author , the rule changes of the FASB may result in [A] the diminishing role of management [B] the revival of the bankingsystem[C] the banks' long-term asset losses [D] the weakening of its independence38.According to Paragraph 4, McCreevy objects to the IASB's attempt to [A] keep away from political influences. [B] evade the pressure from theirpeers.[C] act on their own in rule-setting. [D] take gradual measures inreform.39.The author thinks the banks were on the wrong planet in that they[A] misinterpreted market price indicators[B] exaggerated the real value of their assets[C] neglected the likely existence of bad debts.[D] denied booking losses in their sale of assets.40.The author's attitude towards standard-setters is one of8 / 12[A] satisfaction.

Fish has a chemical called omega-3 fatty acid which is important for the brain. But it seems that fish is not the only food you should think about. There is a book called Brainpower Nutrition, in which a British author, Patrick Holford, explains how to develop your brain. It was published in 1999, and Mr. Holford said that a lot of foods, such as fruit, vegetables and seafood, could help with brain development.One of his tips is to eat more carbohydrates (碳水化合物). The brain consumes around 20 percent of the body’s energy. So you should never skip breakfast, because it gives you energy at the start of a day. Your breakfast should include fruit and carbohydrates, such as cereals and bread. People who want to develop their brain should also include minerals in their diet. Iron is necessary for brain development. Lean red meat, dried fruit, beans, fish and peas are all rich in iron and good for the brain.Another tip is to drink more water. Cells (细胞) in your brain need water to work. If you are very thirsty, water can make you feel happy. According to Mr. Holford, if you drink around 1.5 liters of water every day, your brainwill be more alert and your thinking will be clearer. However, thi s doesn’t mean that you can drink any liquid that has water in it, such as coffee, tea and juice. These are not replacements for water because they also contain caffeine (咖啡因) or sugar, which are not good for your brain.The last suggestion is to eat regularly. It’s better to eat five small meals a day than to eat three large meals. These small meals should include all the food groups, such as carbohydrates, protein and fat. By doing this, your blood sugar will stay normal and your brain will work well.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

No one will accuse you of hypocrisy（伪善）. Let us just say that you are suffering from a bad case of wishful thinking. This needn’t make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company. Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, see no evil and smell no evil. Admittedly, a few governments have taken timid measures. In Britain, for instance, cigarette advertising has been banned on television. The conscience of the nation is appeased, while the population continues to puff its way to smoky, cancerous death.Y ou don’t have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so luke-warm(不冷不热的). The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It’s almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so discreetly that smoking may, conceivably, be harmful it doesn’t do to shout too loudly about it.This is surely the most short-sighted policy you could imagine. While money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were banned altogether.Of course, we are not ready for such drastic（激烈的）action. But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their peoples, you don’t think they’d conduct aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend staggering sums on advertising. Its advertising is as insidious as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict（描绘）virile（男性的）, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, wit beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense!For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct anti-smoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants.31. The author believes that ______.A. there’s a definite link between smoking and heart disease or lung cancerB. smokers are really cool guysC. smoking is associated with the great open-air life, wit beautiful girls, true love and togethernessD. smoking does more good than harm to the country32. The fact that cigarette advertising has been banned on television in Britain shows that ________.A. the British government has taken strong measures to prevent citizens from smokingB. the British government has been well aware of the evil of smokingC. what the British government has done is far from enoughD. what the British government intends to do is to warn smokers of the dangers of smoking33. The author shows a(n) _______ attitude towards smoking.A. positiveB. objectiveC. dubiousD. negative34. We can infer that the following-paragraph will discuss _________.A. how to make cigarette advertising more appealingB. how to quit smokingC. how to ban smokingD. how to get rid of some disease troubles35. According to the author, the governments ______.A. shouldn’t have imposed such a high tax on cigarettesB. shouldn’t have banned cigarette ads on TVC. should make smoking illegalD. should be genuinely concerned with the welfare of their peoplesPassage 2Career education is instruction intended to help young people identify, choose, and prepare for a career. Such instruction may focus on a person’s role in work, leisure, or family life. Career education differs from vocational education, which is designed to teach specific occupational skills.Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family, in the community, and in schools. In school, career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses. These activities are designed to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills important for work roles. Career education helps students develop self-understanding and use it to plan their education and working life.A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school. Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling programs. In kindergarten and elementary school, youngsters learn about different types of work. In middle school or junior high school, children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most. In high school, students get more specific information about occupations and life styles. They may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions where they learn how to make career decisions. They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation. Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films about occupations or industries. Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs. A student may accompany a worker on the job. Cooperative education combines classroom study with practical work experience.6. According to the passage, which statement is true?A. Career education is carried out in primary school.B. Career education is carried out in middle school.C. Career education is carried out in college.D. Career education is carried out in the whole process of children’s education.7. It may be inferred from the passage that _______.A. in high school, students know more specific information about occupationsB. career education may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessionsC. not only teachers but also parents are responsible for the career educationD. teachers use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films8. A child may get career education in all the following places EXCEPT ______.A. schoolB. public placesC. familyD. community9. “Kindergarten” (Para. 3, sentence 3) is a place for ______ years old children.A. 3~5B. 7~8C. 9~10D. 11~1210. “Combine” in the last paragraph means _______.A. connectB. forceC. mergeD. undertakePassage 3When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Y es, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000, while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology （人类学）or political science or languages or --- worst of all --- in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor(看门人) earns.Y ou can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.11. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who _____A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s demands as a source of manpower12. Many Ph.D.s are out of job because _______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money13. According to the passage, ______ degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes.A. philosophyB. physics and chemistryC. historyD. anthropology14. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. Bernard Shaw finished high schools, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D.The more you are well-educated, the more you’ll be fit for society’s demands.15. Which is the highest degree that you can get according to this passage?A. Ph.D.B. MasterC. B.A.D. M.B.A.Passage 4In July 1994, the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into the planet Jupiter. For the first time, human wereable to witness exactly what happens when a celestial body collides with a planet and it quickly became clear that survival was no longer entirely a question of being the “fittest”. A new factor had been introduced into evolution: the ability to survive a collision between the earth and an asteroid or comet.To most people, the risk remains academic. With all the dangers humans face ---- sickness, accidents ---- it is understandable that people don’t take seriously the risks posed by something that hasn’t happened for 65 million years and may not happen for another 65 million years.However, many scientists believe that collisions between the earth and celestial bodies cannot be regarded as “ just another risk”. The main reason for this is that no other disaster ---- except perhaps a nuclear war ---- has the potential to destroy human civilization completely. Even the worst floods and earthquakes affect only a very small percentage of the earth’s surface and population. But the effects of an impact caused by a celestial body of just ten kilometers in diameter would make humans extinct, along with most of the world’s other animals and plants.The danger comes from asteroids and comets which cross the earth’s orbit. Asteroids pose a greater danger because they are more numerous. Those less than 100 meters in diameter are not usually regarded as a threat because most are destroyed by heat as they enter the earth’s atmosphere and so never reach the ground. It is those asteroids with diameters of one kilometer or more which pose the greatest threat.16. The main topic of this passage is ________.A. several factors influencing evolutionB. natural disasters in the worldC. collision between Jupiter and a cometD. danger of Earth colliding with heavenly bodies17. The word “academic” ( Para. 2, Sentence 1) is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. technicalB. impossibleC. unbelievableD. theoretical18. The probable result of Earth being hit by an object 10 kilometers in diameter from outer space is ________.A. extinction of the human raceB. extinction of most species on earthC. extinction of animalsD. extinction of plants19. Compared with comets, asteroids are a major threat to Earth because ________.A. they are larger in numberB. they are larger in sizeC. they are closer to EarthD. they are easier to change their orbits20. According to the passage, asteroids which can do real harm to Earth are ________.A. no less than 1,000 meters in diameterB. less than 1,000 meters in diameterC. no less than 100 meters in diameterD. less than 100 meters in diameterWritingE-mail1.电子邮件开辟了新的通讯渠道且日益普及2.电子邮件给我们带来了便利3.电子邮件的发展前景。

During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doingcertain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse ( 宝库 ) of the humanbrain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.(1).

People landing at London''s Heathrow airport have something newto look at as they fly over Britain''s capital city. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome ( 千禧穹 )is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one ofBritain''s most famous architects ( 建筑师 ) . His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbolof the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near-future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture ofthe times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age. What is an "information age" building? The Dome is a good example. After theMillennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have "jobs for life", modem buildings are designed for a number of different uses. Another Richard Roger''s building, the PompidouCenter in France, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The PompidouCenter is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.(1). The Millennium Dome has been originally built to holdan exhibition ( )A. of different building designsB. .of everything that can draw the attention of people C.of the finest things in BritainD.of recent developments in information technology(2).

Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows mat it is his duty to ( )A. create something out of a unique styleB.house those people who will often change their jobs C.make his buildings historic onesD.construct a building that can meet the changes of the modem age(4). The PompidouCenter in France is outstanding in the fact that ( )A. people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB.visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC.it makes use of the best techniques invented in the information ageD.it was designed and built by an honest British designer(5).

One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with hisfriendDan, but Dan happened to be away. Dan''s brother John offered to goinstead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship.
