As some new device comes along,it too is added to the list rather than【C3】______(place)one of the existing devices.Other research has【C4】ind______that this multi-tasking is even affecting the way of families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them.They can【C5】______longer greet family members when they enter the house,nor can they eat at the family table.All this electronic wizardry is supposedly also seriously affecting young people's performance at【C6】uni______and in the workplace.When asked about their perception of the impact of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks,the overwhelming majority of young people gave a【C7】______(favour)response.The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive.The former feel that multi-tasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later【C8】dev______of study skills,resulting in a decline in the quality of writing,for example,because of the lack of concentration on task completion.They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial help with study skills.Similarly,employers feel that young people【C9】ent______the workforce need to be taught all over again,as they have become deskilled.While all this may be true,it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays,in fact, too much.Praise rather than criticism is due【C10】______respect of the way today's youth are able to cope,despite what the older generation throw at them.1.【C1】2.【C2】3.【C3】4.【C4】5.【C5】6.【C6】7.【C7】8.【C8】9.【C9】10.【C10】PartⅢReading ComperhensionSection ALook at an atlas.How are mountains shown?Where are the highest mountains?A few mountains stand alone,such as Mount Egmont in New Zealand,and Mount Kenya in Africa.Most mountains are found in long chains called mountain ranges.The Pennines,the Cambrian Mountains, the Alps,the Andes and Rockies are examples of mountain ranges.The highest mountain range on the Earth is the Himalayas in Asia.In order to understand how mountains are formed,we need to know what the inside of the Earth is like.The Earth is made up of layers of rock.The outside layer of rock,the one we live on,is called the Earth's crust.Beneath the crust is a layer called the mantle. Near the top of the mantle,some of the rocks have melted and are a liquid,like sticky tar.Because all the rocks around it press on the mantle,the molten rock tries to force its way out.If the molten rock does find a weak spot,it bursts through the Earth's crust,forming a volcano.Some mountains were made by volcanoes.The Earth's crust is made up of large pieces,called plates,which fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.Some of the plates carry continents,others carry oceans. The plates move slowly,floating on the molten rocks of the mantle below.As the plates move,theypush against each other,slowly pushing up the rocks in folds to form mountains.India used to be a long way from Asia,but gradually the plate with India on it moved closer to the plate bearing Asia. The rocks in the sea between India and Asia were pushed up in folds that now form the Himalayan mountain range.That is why it is sometimes possible to find seashells near the tops of the Himalayas.Many other mountain ranges,including the Alps,Rockies and Pen-nines,are similar great folds of rock.While some plates are pushing together,others are moving further apart. Europe and North America are slowly moving further apart.Each year the Atlantic Ocean is a few centimetres wider.As the rocks move,they often crack or break.These breaks are called faults. Sometimes,great blocks of rocks are pushed up between two faults.These blocks may be so large and high that they form mountains.Some of the highland areas of East Africa are block mountains, so are the Vosges mountains in France and the Sierra Nevada mountains in the western United States.Block mountains often have flat tops.A flat-topped highland is called a plateau.Questions56—60Complete the following form with no more than three words according to the passage.56.57.58.59.60.Section BBy studying the notebooks,correspondence,and conversations of some of the world's great thinkers in science,art,and industry,scholars have identified the following thinking strategies that enable geniuses to generate original ideas:【B1】______Sigmund Freud's analytical methods were designed to find details that didn't fit traditional paradigms in order to come up with a completely new point of view.To solve a problem creatively,you must abandon the first approach that comes to mind,which usually stems from past experience,and reconceptualize the problem.Geniuses do not merely solve existing problems:they identify new ones.【B2】______Geniuses develop visual and spatial abilities that allow them to display information in new ways.The explosion of creativity in the Renaissance was tied to the development of graphic illustration during that period,notably the scientific diagrams of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei.Galileo revolutionized science by making his thought graphically visible while his contemporaries used more conventional means. Geniuses produce.Thomas Edison held1,093patents,still a record.He guaranteed a high level of productivity by giving himself idea quotas:one minor invention every ten days and a major invention every six months.Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a cantata every week even when he was sick.Wolfgang Mozart produced more than600pieces of music.【B3】______Like playful children with buckets of building blocks,geniuses constantly combine and recombine ideas,images, and thoughts.The laws of heredity were developed by Gregor Mendel,who combined mathematics and biology to create a new science of genetics.【B4】______Their facility to connect the unconnected enables geniuses to see things others miss.Da Vinci noticed the similarity between the sound of a bell and a stone hitting water-and concluded that sound travels in waves.【B5】______Whenever we attempt to do something and fail,we end up doing something else.That's the first principle of creative accident.We may ask ourselves why we have failed to do what we intended,which is a reasonable question.But the creative accident leads to the question:What have we done?Answering that one in a novel,unexpected way is the essential creative act.It is not luck, but creative insight of the highest order.This may be the most important lesson of all:When you find something interesting,drop everything and go with it.Too many talented people fail to make significant leaps of imagination because they've become fixated on their pre-conceived plan.Butnot the truly great minds.They don't wait for gifts of chance:they make them happen.Questions61—65Complete the passage with the following sentences.There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.A.Geniuses make their thought visible.B.Geniuses prepare themselves for enhance.C.Geniuses make novel combinations.D.Geniuses look at problems from all angles.E.Geniuses have a really broad mind.F.Geniuses force relationships.G.Geniuses are powerful in lots of aspects.6.【B1】7.【B2】8.【B3】9.【B4】10.【B5】Section CThe Dragon Boat Festival,the5th day of the5th lunar month,has had a history of more than 2,000years.Here are some things you must know.There are many legends about the evolution of the festival,the most popular of which is in commemoration of Qu Yuan(340—278BC).Qu Yuan was minister of the State of Chu and one of China's earliest poets.In face of great pressure from the powerful Qin State,he advocated enriching the country and strengthening its military forces so as to fight against the Qin.However,he was opposed by aristocrats and later deposed and exiled by King Huai.In his exiled days,he still cared much for his country and people and composed immortal poems including Li Sao(The Lament),Tian Wen(Heavenly Questions)and Jiu Ge(Nine Songs), which had far-reaching influences.In278BC,he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu's capital,so he finished his last piece Huai Sha(Embracing Sand)and plunged himself into the Miluo River,clasping his arms to a large stone.The day happened to be the5th of the5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar.After his death,the people of Chu crowded to the bank of the river to pay their respects to him.The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body.People threw into the water zongzi(pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves)and eggs to divert possible fish or shrimp from attacking his body.An old doctor poured a jug of realgar wine(Chinese liquor seasoned with realgar)into the water,hoping to turn all aquatic beasts drunk.That's why people later followed the customs such as dragon boat racing,eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine on that day.Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival,held all over the country.As the gun is fired,people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly,accompanied by rapid drums,speeding toward their destination.Folk tales say the game o-riginates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuan's body,but experts,after painstaking and meticulous research,conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious,semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period(475—221BC).On Dragon Boat Festival,parents also need to dress their children up with a perfume pouch.They first sew little bags with colorful silk cloth,then fill the bags with perfumes or herbal medicines,and finally string them with silk threads.The perfume pouch will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament.They are said to be able to ward off evil.Questions66—70Answer the following questions according to the passage.11.When do Chinese people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year?12.What masterpieces of Qu Yuan are mentioned in the passage?13.Why did Qu Yuan commit suicide?14.How do people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival now?15.Why do parents prepare perfume pouches for their children on Dragon Boat Festival?Section DWhile baseball is often described as the national sport of the United States of America,it probably developed from an eighteenth-century English game called rounders.There were severalversions of the game until1845,when Alexander J.Cartwright organized"a group of players to decide on one set of rules.The main change from rounders was that a runner had to be tagged or touched by a player holding the ball to be put out,rather than hit by a thrown ball.This meant that a smaller,harder ball could be used,which in turn made possible a faster,larger game.Until the mid-1860s,baseball was an amateur sport,which means that the players were not paid.The first professional team,the Cincinnati"Red Stockings",was organized in1869and within two years the sport was more or less professional.Nowadays the best players can earn millions of dollars playing baseball.Professional baseball in the United States and Canada consists of two leagues and for the first half of the twentieth century there were also separate leagues for black players.The black leagues produced many excellent players but it wasn't until the1940s,and the success of Jackie Robinson playing for the Brooklyn"Dodgers",that black players were integrated into white major-league baseball in the United States.Baseball has had a broad impact on popular culture, both in the United States and elsewhere.Dozens of English-language idioms have been derived from baseball,for instance,the baseball meaning of"out of the ball park"is to hit a home run,but its non-baseball equivalent is to do something well or exactly as it should be done.The baseball cap has become a worldwide fashion i-tem not only in the United States,but also in countries where the sport itself is not particularly popular,such as the United Kingdom.Baseball has inspired many works of art and entertainment.One of the first major examples,Ernest Thayer's poem"Casey at the Bat",appeared in1888.There have been many baseball movies,including the Academy Award-winning The Pride of the Yankees(1942)and the Oscar nominees The Natural(1984)and Field of Dreams(1989).Literary works connected to the game include the short fiction of Ring Lardner and novels such as Robert Coover's The Universal Baseball Association,Inc.,J.Henry Waugh,Prop.Baseball's literary canon also includes the beat reportage of Damon Runyon:the columns of Grantland Rice,Red Smith,Dick Young,and Peter Gammons:and the essays of Roger Angell.Questions71—75Complete the summary with words from the passage,changing the form where necessary,with no more than three words for each blank.Baseball is regarded as the national sport of the USA.Its history can be traced back to an eighteenth-century English game named【R1】______.There were several versions of the game until1845,【R2】______one set of rules was decided on.Baseball was originally【R3】______,but in1869the first professional team,the Cincinnati Red Stockings,was organized.For the first half of the twentieth century black players had separate leagues,but【R4】______began in the1940s because of the success of Jackie Robinson. Baseball extended its glamour to many other fields,such as fashion,language,art and entertainment. Many artists and film directors got【R5】______from the worldwide popular sport.16.【R1】17.【R2】18.【R3】19.【R4】20.【R5】PartⅣError CorrectionPeople often laugh when they see penguins walking.Penguins look very funnywaddle from side to side on their short little legs.However,Adelie penguins【M1】______can walk200 kilometers across the Antarctic sea ice to the place they lay【M2】______their eggs.Penguins are such good swimmers so early explorers thought they were【M3】______fish.They use their flippers'fly'through the water as other birds use their【M4】______wings to fly through the air. Emperor penguins,the big penguins,【M5】______can go as fast as50kilometers an hour.If Adelie penguin is swimming【M6】______quickly,it can jump2meters out of the water.They do this before they are【M7】______being chased by leopard seals,which like to eat them.Emperor penguins can hold its breath underwater for twenty minutes.【M8】______This means they can divevery deep to hunt for food.The deepest dive scientists know about is458meters.That's nearly half a kilometer!When the male emperor penguins are looking after eggs,they join together in tightly groups.In the middle of the group it might be38℃,【M9】______while on the outside of the group it might be-35℃.When the penguins【M10】______on the outside get too cold,they move slowly to the inside and others take their place on the outside.1.【M1】2.【M2】3.【M3】4.【M4】5.【M5】6.【M6】7.【M7】8.【M8】9.【M9】10.【M10】PartⅤTranslationSection A1.If your parents give you pocket money with no strings attached,I've got some bad news for you.Experts are now claiming that it may be harmful for teenagers to get"free"pocket money. They argue that it makes them lazy and they may even end up in poverty.What's more,they say that youngsters will never learn the value of money if they don't earn it.Studies also indicate that you can rarely expect teenagers to save their pocket money when they get it for free and often waste it on unnecessary things.However,if they have to do something in order to earn it,they usually learn to use their money wisely.Section B有些人的成功常常让周围的人大惑不解，因为他们似乎从来都不工作，或者没有长时间地工作。

(30 points)Passage OneExtinction is the disappearance, brought about by natural or unnatural means, of an entire species.Some species of plants and animals die out naturally because newer species are more successful at competing for food and living space. Others have become extinct because of changes in the planet or because of natural disasters (灾难). Dinosaurs（恐龙）, for example, may have died out because the climate became cooler —maybe because an asteroid（⼩⾏星）collided （碰撞）with the earth and caused a big cloud of dust that blocked out（遮住）the sun.In today’s world, however, species mostly become extinct or are threatened（威胁）with extinction because of humans. Humans hunt animals, destroy their habitats（栖息地）, and introduce other animals that prey upon（捕⾷）the endangered animals or compete for their resources. Among these factors, the greatest threat to plants and animals is habitat destruction. It is estimated（估计）that about 125 species of birds and 60 species of mammals（哺乳动物）have become extinct since 1600. Currently（⽬前）, there are approximately（⼤约）1,000-1,100 species of birds and mammals that are facing extinction. If invertebrates（⽆脊椎动物）and plants are included, the total number of species in imminent（临近的）danger is around 20,000.Sample（浏览）the following internet activities and complete the tasks for each one to learn about two animals that no longer exist.The passenger pigeon was an attractive bird with a blue back and a pink breast（胸）that existed in huge populations. In fact, it may have been the most abundant（多的）bird ever to have lived. John James Audubon observed a flock of pigeons passing over a period of three days at a rate he estimated at over 300 million birds an hour. The passage of large flocks created a roar of wings that could be heard 6 miles away. The pigeons nested（筑巢）in long narrow colonies（聚居地）that could be 40 miles long and several miles across. They occurred throughout Eastern North America where they fed on acorns（橡树果实）and beechnuts（⼭⽑榉实）.Early settlers in the United States developed a taste for passenger pigeon and commercial hunters devised（想出）many different ways of killing large numbers of the birds. They were suffocated（闷死）by burning grass or sulphur（硫磺）below their roosts (栖⽊); fed grain（⾕物）soaked（浸泡）in alcohol（酒精）; beaten down with long sticks, killed with shotguns （猎枪）, caught in nets or trapped using a decoy（诱饵）pigeon tied to a perch called a stool （囮鸽的栖⽊）(this is the origin of the term “stool pigeon（囮鸽）”).1. What did passenger pigeons look like?2. Once, notable bird conservationist John James Audubon observed a flock of pigeons passing over a period of three days at a rate he estimated to be how many birds an hour?3. Where did passenger pigeons live and what did they eat?4. What were some of the ways that passenger pigeons were killed?The Great Auk was a 3-foot tall penguin-like（像企鹅的）flightless（不能飞的）seabird. It was a very fast underwater swimmer, but clumsy（笨拙的）on land. Hundreds of thousands of these birds lived in the North Atlantic（⼤西洋）. They were hunted between 1785 and 1844, mainly for their feathers which were used for mattress（床垫）and pillow stuffing（填料）. The last breeding （繁殖的）pair was killed by two fishermen, who also smashed the last egg.1. What well-known kind of bird did the Great Auk look like?2. Where did they live?3. When were they mainly hunted?4. What is one of the main reasons why they were hunted?5. Who killed the last breeding pair of Great Auks?46. Dinosaurs may have become extinct because of _______________ .A. a major earthquakeB. human factorsC. the change of climateD. the appearance of a new species47. Which human factor most seriously threatens the survival of animals?A. Human hunting.B. Habitat destruction.C. The introduction of rival （敌对的）species.D. The domestication（驯化）of wild animals.48. How many species of birds, mammals, invertebrates, and plants are endangered?A. 1,000.B. 1,100.C. 1,600.D. 20,000.49. According to Audubon’s estimation, the number of pigeons in that flock he observed could have been as large as______________.A. 300 millionB. 900 millionC. 72 billionD. 21.6 billion50. All of the following are ways to kill passenger pigeons EXCEPT___________.A. feeding them acorns and beechnutsB. trapping them with a stool pigeonC. killing them with shotgunsD. catching them in netsPassage Two“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.”You may think “He’s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.We all maximize (扩⼤) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to showwhat he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.51．We know that the word “cool” has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning52．In the passage, the word “express” means “________”.A. seeB. showC. knowD. feel53．If you are _______ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”A. interested inB. angry aboutC. afraid ofD. unhappy with54．The writer takes an example to show he is ________ the way the word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried aboutD. careful with55．In the passage, the writer suggests (暗⽰) that the word “cool”________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colorfulD. may not be as cool as it seemsSection B (2×5＝10 points)Directions: Read the announcement and write down the answers that follow the questions briefly.Dear Mr. Carter,As mentioned in my letter of August 9, I am planning to spend a few days in London next month, on my way to the United States.

points）Section A Multiple Choice（10 points）Directions：There is one reading passage in this part．The passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．You should decide on the bestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage：Taking a peep at what's going on in your headCARL Filer，18，a star salesman at a B＆Q hardware store in the UK，was called up for promotion within one week of starting work．But，instead of being made supervisor，he was sacked—after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test．You might think that anyone who answers that he“strongly disagrees he is an over-achiever is asking for trouble，but Mr Filer already thought he had proved himself more than capable．This year，nearly half of UK firms —46 percent—will use psychometric tests to select trainees，compared with just 17 percent in 2000，according to a report for GTI，a publisher of graduate career guides．These tests，which rate candidates’ability and gauge their personality，have been used in the UK since the 1980s．But assorted studies have shown most people—graduates in particular—are wholly cynical about the idea of their personality being“measured．“People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever，says Clive Fletcher，professor of occupational psychology at University of London．“But all the evidence indicates the tests do have some value．The first personality test as we know it，was developed by the American第45 页共46 页army in 1917 to filter out weak recruits．But it was not until the 1980s that the tests became popular in Britain．With a rising number of graduates going for a decreasing number of jobs，organizations began to see psychometric testing as a cheap，reliable alternative to the expensive，time-consuming interview．But today the tests are becoming alarmingly sophisticated and are edging towards probing the“dark side：pathology and personality disorders．Increasingly，tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may，later in life，fly off the rails（go crazy）；or to stop psychopaths（having mental disorder）getting recruited．In the future，interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality．“We are heading for the era of genetic screening，”warns Carolyn Jones，of the Institute for Employment Rights．“I think these tests are very flawed．And there are other problems with the tests．For starters，it is possible to fake it—even the test producers agree on this．But they have made it as hard as possible．For example，look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two statements：“New ideas come easily to me and “I find generating new concepts difficult．How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing？The main argument，however，is that the tests are invalid and cannot quantify（put a numerical value on）something as changeable aspersonality．The golden rule is then，that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection，but should always be followed by interviews．71．Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is ______．A．contemptuous B．favorable C．tolerant D．confounded 72．Which of the following is one of the reasons why psychometric testing wins an advantage over interviews？A．It doesn't cost any money．B．It requires no equipment．C．It is time-saving．D．It can be done within seconds．73．Which of the following statements is the author's idea？A．Psychometric tests are defective．B．Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promising young graduates．C．Psychometric tests are invalid and cannot quantify something changeable as personality．D．Psychometric tests are golden rules．74．The test producers make the tests very complicated to ______．A．avoid cheating B．improve genetic screeningC．find out the best ideas D．generate new concepts 75．Which of the following is not true according to the passage？A．The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits．第45 页共46 页B．In the future，interviewers could give a mouth swab to reveal interviewees’symptoms．C．There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests．D．Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees．Section B Short Answer Questions（30 points）Directions：In this part there are 3 passages with 15 questions or incomplete statements．Read the passages carefully．Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words（not exceeding 10 words）．Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet．Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage：The 8 Steps of Social Invention1．Get ready to play．Like other types of creativity，social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outside conventional boundaries．Charlie Girsch，a St．Paul，Minnesota-based creativity consultant，suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events．“If traffic is slow，you'll be tem pted to say，‘Hmm．Must be an accident up ahead．’Instead，try saying，‘Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway’or‘I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on．’You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways．”Girsch's book，Fanning the Creative Spirit（CreativityCentral，1999）has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of your brain．2．Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas．Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood？Imagine a Homeless Parliament，a Homeless Circus，homeless families forming an orchestra，a homeless museum ．．．and on and on．Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order，as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises，to“overcome e worthy-but-dull ideas．”Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out．3．Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth．How about that Homeless Circus？Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents？A performance series about homelessness？A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor？Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive，and thus more feasible（and fundable），than its worthy-but-dull cousins．4．Look for in venations that solve more than one problem．The Slow Food Movement，born in Italy，boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it “feeds”our hunger for authentic tastes，healthy eating，and a more leisurely，saner style of life．5．Accentuate the positive．第45 页共46 页“A very common question that I get when I work with people in communities is‘Why doesn't anybody care about our problems？’”notes M chael Patterson，a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts．“What a worthless question．‘Why’？questions are for philosophers．Ask ‘How’？and‘What’？questions—they are a lot more practical．”For instance，Patterson asks，“What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail？”6．Give it a rest．Walk away from your favorite idea for a while，forget about it，let it sleep．With your conscious mind out of the way，your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while，and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough．7．Practice“yes and”in stead of“yes but”．No matter how tempted you are to say“Yes，but this will be hard because，”or“Yes，but a million other people are doing this，”shift the conjunction to“and”and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges．“Yes，and we could concentrate on immigrants．”“Yes，and we can make it open to all ages．”8．Get your idea into the world．This is the tough part．You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas．Or become an organizer yourself．Paul Glove，a New York social inventor，coun-sels：“If you have an idea you believein，write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it in Laundromats and bookstores．If three people call you，have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization．If five people call，meet with them and issue a press release．”Presto，you're launched．76．To generate far-fetched ideas helps to ______．77．Michael Patterson wants us to come up with“How”？and“What”？instead of“Why”？questions because he considers they are more practical than ______．78．The purpose to practice“yes and”instead of“yes but”is to make yourself more ______．79．According to the article，when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea，he should ______．80．One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but also ______ because the latter step is the nearest to reality．Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage：Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes，which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come．But，analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era．Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin，flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market第45 页共46 页outlets such as Cosco，a wholesale buying club in the US，best known for offering members bulk items and big discounts．The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US ＄3，000or more ，yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production．That increase，combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology，could push the price of plasma sets down by one-third next year，according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group，a US research firm．But manufacturers are not just competing with each other；they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies，such as liquid crystal displays（LCD）．The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts，which offer more detailed pictures and more lifelike colors than conventional analog TV signals．To see the difference，consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can．This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40inches diagonal or larger．At that size，however，traditional direct view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home．Hence the interest in thin screens—models slender and light enough tohang on a wall．The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan，South Korea and，increasingly，China．About 800，000 plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world，analysts say．That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs，which was about 140 million sets last year．But，industry experts said 2003would be a“breakout year”or plasma because shipments should double．Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities．For example，Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory—reaching 300，000to 400，000 plasma panels．And it plans to double it again in 2003，officials said．As competition has heated up during the last four years，prices have fallen more than 50 percent．According to“NPD Tec world”，the average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US ＄12，700in January 1999 to US ＄6，100in October 2002．The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia，and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes．LCD TVs carry a premium price—they can be 10 times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television—that knocks them out of most buyers’budgets．第45 页共46 页But LCD panels are quickly taking over the market for computer monitors，and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs，analysts predicted．Sharp Electronics，for one，is betting heavily on LCDs．Its chairman，Toshiaki Urushisako，has predicted that Sharp will switch completely from conventional tube sets to LCD TVs in Japan by 2005．Flat-panel refers to wafer-thin（3 inches or less）TVs，whereas flat-screen may actually describe traditional cathode-ray-tube sets（CRTs）whose glass front lacks the distorting curve that TVs have had for 50 years．Be aware of two things：One，flat-panel technology may not be high-definition TV；for eventual HDTV reception，some of these sets will require a separate HD tuner．Two，some flat-panel TVs are just the panel and lack speakers and sometimes a built-in tuner．Price range：US ＄700－2，000LCD vs plasmaIn general，LCD technology is used for smaller screens because of the enormous number of transistors needed to turn the glasslike liquid crystals into color images．The larger the display，the more transistors，the more chance of failed connections．A plasma screen is found in TV sets larger than 20 inches．Color is comparable to an LCD's．LCDs do not deteriorate over time，while a plasma display averages 30，000 hours（a traditional TV screen can go for20，000），after which it fades over a period of years．Earlier problems with the quality of plasma's contrast have been addressed，and current screens are cleaner and better defined．Price range：US ＄600－2，800HDTVSimply put，high-definition TV is 10 times as sharp as traditional TV，and the sound is digital，like CD sound，not FM ，which is what traditional TV provides．HD technology achieves its visual clarity with more immage lines on the screen．Where analog TVs have 480 horizontal lines，HDTV has 720 or 1，080lines．Be aware ：m any HDTV sets being sold now are in fact only HDTV monitors ，offering a crisp picture ．To receive genuine high-definition television signals，owners must buy a separate HDTV receiver．Price range：US ＄1，000－6，000LOS ANGELEST IMES81．According to the article，TV sets with _____will still be the most popular in the coming years．82．The

of the best quality．Questions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage：Dell Does DominationOver the years I've spent a fair amount of time hanging out with Michael Dell，and what I noticed during my latest visit with him in Austin is how things have changed．Yes，he is still unflappable．And yes，he greets me in his new glossy offices with the same Stamford Wife-like grin he has always had．But he appears thinner now，as if he's lost baby fat．While he's still slow-moving，as if he's conserving energy，he now cuts to the quick in conversation．And when he zeroes in on the point he wants to make，when he reiterates why Dell Computer is in a better position than any other PC maker in the world，you realize that the 36-year-old has lost what was once one of his greatest advantages：no one underestimate ates him anymore．Instead，Michael Dell looms over the PC landscape like a giant，casting a shadow over all his unfortunate com petitors．This is a terrible time in a difficult business．PC sales were down for the first time last year．Dell's sales will be down，too，also for the first time．Yet even with that，even with recession ，even with the threat of a Hewlett-Packard ／Com paq Goliath，this is the only PC maker you can count on to grow and growand grow．Almost single-handedly，Dell is forcing this industry to consolidate．Could this mean“game over”in the PC biz？“Game over？”he looks back at me incredulously．“No way．We only have 14％global market share．”The Dellites may not admit to“game over”aspirations，but clearly they are thinking of a kind of domination never seen before among PC makers．“We think 40％market share is possible，”says Dell's No．2，Kevin Rollins．That's a remarkable goal；what's more remarkable is that it really is attainable．Don't look for Dell to hit that kind of number anytime soon．Rather，the company's growth will come from grinding out gains on several existing fronts，while shrewdly expanding into new target markets．The reason is simple：there's no better way to make，sell，and deliver PCs than the way Dell does it，and nobody executes that model better than Dell．By now most business people can recite the basic tenets of Dell's direct-sales model．Dell machines are made to order and delivered directly to the customer．There is no middleman．The customer gets the exact machine he wants cheaper than he can get it from the competition．The company gets paid by the customer weeks before it pays suppliers．Given all that，the company that famously started in Austin out of a University of Texas dorm room now dominates the northern side of this city the way giant steelworks once lorded over old mill towns．Dell第45 页共46 页。
