The ‘school’ is a new project. It is called ‘City-as-School’ and the name means just that: the city itself is the place where 350 students, between the ages of 15 and 18,learn their lessons. Students choose 42 of work which 43 them and then they help to do that work.. For instance, one girl spends her week in the offices of a Congresswoman—an elected official—helping the public 44 problems such as pensions, housing, etc. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends one day a week 45 first-year courses at college. City-as-School is six years old. The education system in New York 46 it now, as an alternative to final years at school. But can it 47 ordinary lessons? Well, students have to pass maths and science exams 48 they enter the‘school’. These subjects are not easy to provide for in ‘City-as-School’. Teachers monitor the progress of the students. 80% to 85% of the students go to college ( or university, as it is called in Britain ) after their time at ‘City-as-School’. The 49 rate is high. And the students are enthusiastic 50 their ‘school’.They like the responsibility of their work, and the 51 of purpose it gives them. In a big city like New York, there are enough resources for a 52 like this. But in Philadelphia, another large town in America, a similar school 53 because there wasn’t enough 54 of work for the students. When the students leave ‘City-as-School’, they don’t have a normal academic education;but they do know 55 about different kinds of work in the city.(分数:15.00)A.even notB.not even √C.no evenD.even no解析:A.areas √B.regionsC.respectsD.aspects解析:A.interestsB.interest √C.interestedD.interesting解析:A.toB.with √C.aboutD.on解析:A.taking √B.to takeC.takeD.takes解析:A.admitsB.receivesC.accepts √D.agrees解析:A.supplementB.take placeC.replace √D.take place of 解析:A.before √B.untilC.unlessD.after解析:A.successfulB.failureC.success √D.successive解析:A.atB.about √C.inD.to解析:A.sense √B.sensibilityC.sensitivityD.sensing解析:A.classB.project √C.buildingD.town解析:A.openedB.closed √C.developedD.boomed解析:A.rangeB.lotC.kindD.variety √解析:A.a lot √B.a lot ofC.lots ofD.lot解析:五、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分) (总题数:2,分数:20.00) Passage 1 Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation’s political influenc e be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It’s often said that without its military the So viet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now place more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic market of the world. America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess(威力)over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership. The competitiveness of America’s industrial base is an issue bigger than the De partment of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society—government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry. (分数:10.00)(1).Now a nation’s political influence depends on _____. (分数:2.00)A.the strength of its military forcesB.its ability to compete industryC.economic marketsD.both A and B √解析:(分数:2.00)A.its powerful military forces √B.its vast landC.its industrial competitivenessD.its contributions to world peace解析:(3).The author indicates that _____ is threatening American political power. (分数:2.00)A.other countriesB.the declining U.S. industrial base √C.a new standard for measuring powerD.less advanced technology解析:(4).America succeeded in shaping world events over the past 40 years probably because of _____. (分数:2.00)A.its ability to adapt to technologyB.its ability to take advantage of the capability of its peopleC.its ability to compete in the world marketD.both A and B √解析:(5). The purpose of writing this article is _____. (分数:2.00)A.to draw the reader’s attention to a new standard for measuring powerB.to demonstrate American political influence in the worldC.to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrial base √D.to show American industrial prowess解析:Passage 2 Television carries more national advertising than any other in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries—Sweden and Denmark, for example, the state-owned television, accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial time is extremely limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Soviet state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988. The chief reason for the popularity of television among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For manufacturers who must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of its benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising. Because it employs motion as well as words, graphics, sound, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in showing how quickly an automobile can accelerate or how well a brand of wristwatch will stand up under abuse and continue to run. Similarly, it is an ideal medium for conveying a mood or an emotional benefit for products such as long-distance telephone calls.(分数:10.00)(1).Which medium carries the most national advertising in Spain? (分数:2.00)A.Radio.B.Newspaper.C.Television. √D.Internet.解析:(2). State-owned television accepts ads in the following countries except _____. (分数:2.00)A.PortugalB.Sweden √C.FranceD.Italy解析:(3).To manufacturers, TV advertising is the most efficient way to promote sales because _____. (分数:2.00) can make advertisers aware of their productsB.it can convince people of the quality of their products covers a large audience at the same time √D.it can be seen and heard by over 25 million local viewers解析:(4).The word “commercial ” in the 2nd paragraph means _____. (分数:2.00)A.advertisement √B.businessC.noticeD.motion picture解析:(5).The writer of this passage is _____ about the benefits of TV advertising. (分数:2.00)A.optimisticB.unconcernedC.enthusiasticD.positive √解析:六、单词或短语的英汉互译(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分) (总题数:5,分数:5.00)41.better quality products at good values(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(物美价廉的产品 )解析:42.an income tax(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(所得税 )解析:43.the supply and demand apparatus(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(供求机制 )解析:44.cable ad revenues(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(有线电视广告收入 )解析:45.coinage(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:( 倾向制度 )解析:七、(二)将下列词语译成英文(5分)(总题数:5,分数:5.00)46. 无形贸易(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(invisible trade )解析:47.纯自由贸易(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(perfectly free commerce )解析:48.资本与产出比率(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(capital-output ratio )解析:49.批量生产(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(mass production )解析:50.货币市场(分数:1.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(money market)解析:八、英汉句子互译(本大题共4小题,共15分) (总题数:2,分数:8.00)51.Foreign customers purchased a rising proportion of Japanese goods because these represented good buys in terms of price and quality.

He made little pieces of sculpture—men, women and castle, quaint earthen things dotted over with sea-shells. He painted. Thus he wasted his time on all that was useless, needless. People laughed at him. At times he vowed to shake off his whims, but they lingered in his mind.(3) Some boys seldom ply their books and yet pass their tests. A similar thing happened to this man. He spent his earth life in useless work and yet after his death the gates of Heaven opened wide for him.(4) But mistakes are unavoidable even in Heaven. So it came to pass that the aerial messenger who took charge of the man made a mistake and found him a place in Workers’ Paradise.(5) In this Paradise you find everything except leisure.(6) H ere men say: “God! We haven’t a moment to spare.” Women whisper: “Let’s move on, time’s a-flying.” All exclaim: “Time is precious.” “We have our hands full, we make use of every single minute,” they sigh complainingly, and yet those words make them happy and exalted.(7) But this newcomer, who had passed all his life on Earth without doing a scrap of useful work, did not fit in with the scheme of things in Workers’ Paradise. He lounged in the streets absently and jostled the hurrying men. He lay down in green meadows, or close to the fast flowing streams, and was taken to task by busy farmers. He was always in the way of others. (8) A hustling girl went every day to a silent torrent (silent, since in the Workers’ Paradise even a torrent would not waste its energy singing) to fill her pitcher.(9) The girl’s movement on the road was like the rapid movement of a skilled hand on the strings of a guitar. Her hair was carelessly done; inquisitive wisps stooped often over her forehead to peer at the dark wonder of her eye.(10) The idler was standing by the stream. As a princess sees a lonely beggar and is filled with pity, so the busy girl of Heaven saw this one and was filled with pity.(11 ) “A—ha !” she cried with concern. “You have no work in hand, have you?”(12) The man sighed, “Work! I have not a moment to spare for work.”(13) The girl did not understand his words, and said: “I shall spare some work for you to do, if you like.”(14) The man replied: “Girl of the silent torrent, all this time I have been wait ing to take some work from your hands.”(15) “What kind of work would you like?”(16) “Will you give me one of your pitchers, one that you can spare?”(17) She asked: “A pitcher? You want to draw water from the torrent?”(18) “No, I shall draw pictures on your pitcher.”(19) The girl was annoyed.(20) “Pictures, indeed! I have no time to waste on such as you. I am going.” And she walked away.(21) But how could a busy person get the better of one who had nothing to do? Every day they met, and every day he said to her: “Girl of the silent torrent, give me one of your clay pitchers. I shall draw pictures on it.”(22) She yielded at last. She gave him one of her pitchers. The man started painting. He drew line after line; he put color after color.(23) When he had completed his work, the girl held up the pitcher and stared at its sides, her eyes puzzled. Brows drawn, she asked: “What do they mean, all those lines and colors? What is their purpose?”(24) The man laughed.(25) “Nothing. A picture may have no meaning and may serve no purpose.”(26) The girl went away with her pitcher. At home, away from prying eyes, she held it in the light, turned it round and round and scanned the painting from all angles. At night she moved out of bed, lighted a lamp and scanned it again in silence. For the first time in her life she had seen something that had no meaning and no purpose at all.(27) When she set out for the torrent the next day, her hurrying feet were a little less hurried than before. For a new sense seemed to have wakened in her, a sense that seemed to have no meaning and no purpose at all.(28) She saw the painter standing by the torrent and asked in confusion: “What do you want of me?”(29) “Only some more work from your hands.”(30) “What kind of work would you like?”(31) “Let me make a colored ribbon for your hair,” he answered.(32) “And what for?”(33) “Nothing.”(34) Ribbons were made, bright with colors. The busy girl of Workers’ Paradise had now to spend a lot of time every day tying the colored ribbon around her hair. The minutes slipped by, unutilized. Much work was left unfinished.(35) In Workers’ Paradise work had of late begun to suffer. Many persons who had been active before were now idle, wasting their precious time on useless things such as painting and sculpture. The elders became anxious. A meeting was called. All agreed that such a state of affairs had so far been unknown in the history of Workers’ Paradise.(36) The aerial messenger hurried in, bowing before the elders and made a confession.(37) “I brought a wrong man into this Paradise,” he said. “It is all due to him.”(38) The man was summoned. As he came the elders saw his fantastic dress, his quaint brushes, his paints, and they knew at once that he was not the right sort for Workers’ Pa radise.(39) Stiffly the President said: “This is no place for the like of you. You must leave.”(40) The man sighed in relief and gathered up his brush and paint. But as he was about to go, the girl of the silent torrent came up tripping and cried: “Wait a moment. I shall go with you.”(41) The elders gasped in surprise. Never before had a thing like this happened in Workers’ Paradise—a thing that had no meaning and no purpose at all.III.

Masks are very useful. At Halloween, children wear masks for fun; they may, of course, also think they are disguising themselves, but chiefly their motive is to experience the joy of saying “ boo” to someone. Soldiers wore masks for protection, in ancient times against swords and battle-axes, in more recent times against poison gas. Bank robbers wear masks to disguise themselves, and though of course this disguise is a sort of protection, a robber 's reason for wearing a mask is fairly distinct from a soldier 'Alsl . of these reasons so far are easily understood, but we may have more trouble grasping the reason that primitive people use masks in religious rituals. Some ritual masks seem merely to be attempts to frighten away evil spirits, and some seem merely to be disguises so that the evil spirits will not know who the wearer is. The masks are usually made of paper. But most religious masks are worn with the idea that the wearer acquires, through a union with supernatural powers, a new identity, and thus in effect becomes—really becomes, not merely pretends to be —a new person.VI. 写信(40 points)Write a letter to your friend according to the following situation: Y ou(Weiping) haven 't heard from your friend(Zhijie) since the SARS outbreak.

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you shouldthink about. By“green”we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures(宣传册),read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn 't be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier.These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a lttle bit towards saving the environment, too!1.When planning holidays, few people will think about being greenA. TrueB. FalseC.

feel lonely, but it usually only lasts between minutes and a few hours.This kind of loneliness is not serious.In fact, it is quite normal.For some people, thought, loneliness can last for years.Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary.This is the most common type.It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation—for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to new place.Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.Unlike the second type, chronic ( 习惯性的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.People who experience habitual loneliness have problem socializing and becoming close to others.Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person"s social contacts, e.g.friends, family members, coworkers, etc.We depend on various people for different reasons.For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities with us.However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more.They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart diseases.While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous, condition.21.What can we learn from the passage about temporary loneliness?A.It requires special attention.B.It is very common and usually disappears quickly.C.It is serious but it usually disappears quickly.D.It is as serious as chronic loneliness.22.Though lonely people may have many social contacts, ?A.they want to socialize with more peopleB.they still need others to guide themC.they still others to support them emotionallyD.they want to question their own popularity23.What kind of loneliness can cause serious illness?A.Temporary lonelinessB.Situational loneliness.C.Chronic loneliness.D.Short-term loneliness.24.Why do chronically lonely people need help?A.Because they have difficulty socializing and chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.B.Because chronic loneliness lasts more than two years.C.Because they think there"s little they can do to improve their condition.D.Because they think they should have more social contacts.25.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Only a small number of people feel lonely.B.Like chronic loneliness, situational loneliness can cause physical problems.C.Chronically lonely people have no difficulty socializing and becoming close to others.D.All kinds of loneliness are very dangerous.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Studies show that the world in 2010 will be more crowded, more polluted and less stableecologically ( 在生态方面) than the world we live in now.Visible ahead is serious stress involving population, resources and environment.Despite greater food output, people in the world will be poorer in many ways than they are today.For hundreds of millions of the extremely poor, the outlook for food and other necessities of life will be no better.For many it will be worse.While the economies of the developing countries are expected to grow at a faster rate than those of the industrialized nations, the total national product per head in most less developed countries remains low.The existing gap between the rich and poor nations will further widen.World food production is estimated to increase by 90 percent from 1970 to 2010.Most of that increase goes to the countries that already have relatively higher per-head food consumption ( 消费).Meanwhile, per-head consumption of food in the developing countries will scarcely improve or will actually fall far below the present inadequate level.What is worse is prices for food are expected to double.As a result, many less developed countries will have increasing difficulties meeting energy needs.For the one quarter of mankind that depends primarily on wood for fuel, the outlook is not hopeful.Regional water shortage will become more severe.In the 1970-2010 period population growth will require twice as much water as it does today in nearly half the world.Still greater increases would be needed to improve standards of living.Development of new water supplies will become more costly.26.According to the passage, in 2010 while output of food will be greater, .A.people will have sufficient food supplies.B.The world resources will become more than enoughC.In most developing countries people will have less food than they have todayD.The living standards of the world"s population will improve greatly27.According to the author, in 2010 for many poor people, .A.things will get even worseB.things will be a little betterC.it will be necessary for them to improve their housingD.it will be impossible to obtain enough necessities of life28.In the 1970-2010 period, the large proportion of global increase of food production goes .A.to 90 percentB.to developing countriesC.to any country in the world that needs itD.to those countries that already have high per head consumption29.How does the author predict the development of new water supplies in the future?A.Water shortage will occur in some regions onlyB.Development of new water supplies will be more expensive.C.The less developed countries need more water than the developed ones.D.The demand for water will double with the growing population.30.Which of the following may best serve as the title of this passage?A.the Future problems in the World.B.Water and Air Pollution.C.Water and Food ShortagesD.Food Production and ConsumptionPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled.In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world"s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund ( 国际货币基金组织).The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs ( 关税) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War II.As time went by, it became clear that the GA TT had two major drawbacks—the limitedareas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round ( 乌拉圭回合谈判) finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property.Even after seven years of talks and with 22,500 pages of agreements reached problems remained, especially in the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services.31.What is the purpose of the WTO?A.To encourage international trade to flow freely.B.To make sure that trade agreements are respected.C.To settle any disputes.D.All of the above32.According to the passage ,the GA TT stopped working_______.A.in 1948B.in 1994C.after World War ⅡendedD.during the seven years of the Uruguay Round talk33.The WTO is better than the GA TT in that_____.A.it can settle disputes in more areas of international tradeB.it enables its members to sign agreements more easilyC.it deals with problems in agriculture and services more effectivelyD.it pays more attention to service and intellectual property34.The word “drawbacks ”in Paragraph 4 means ______.A.Weak pointsB.Strong pointsC.ImprovementsD.Changes35.According to the last two paragraphs ,which of the following statements is true?A.The WTO is the world"s most powerful economic organizationB.The GA TT was founded in Uruguay in 1995C.The WTO has an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rulesD.All the countries in the world are member nations of the WTOⅣ.Word Spelling (10 points, 1 point for two

Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.With technological advances,the first half of the twentieth century saw a movement of workers away from agricultural to industrial production.The second half saw amovement from industrial production to services.So far,technological advances have not reduced our need for service workers.But what would happen if advances inartificial intelligence(AI)should greatly increase the productivity of serviceworkers,as suggested by the following scene?Andrea calls the doctor’s office with a medical concern.The doctor’s automatedtelephone system,in a friendly and personal voice,asks her a series ofquestions.Based on Andrea’s answers and in consultation with her insurer’s claim system,the doctor’s system directs her to a neighborhood lab for tests.At thelab,another automated system performs the prescribed tests,makes a diagnosis,and provides the appropriate medication,all while in contact with Andreas insurer.As the service is completed,the insurer pays the cost of the service.Andrea signs for any co\|payment,to be paid automatically from her bank account.Heading home,Andrea was happily spared from long waits and a hurried contact with the doctor.To anticipate the realization of such a scene and its timing,we should watch the industries with the most potential for early application of AI.These would be whereservices are already provided at a distance(airline reservations were an early example).Once widespread in these industries,AI will have built the necessary level of trust and acceptance to move into more and more service industries.The critical issue now is that such changes could lead to considerable reduction in service jobs at a time when people will want to(or need to)work longer.Services in the first half of the twenty\|first century might thus resemble manufacturing in the second half of the twentieth century,with considerable unemployment and significant incentives(诱因)for early retirement.If we are to minimize the panic,we need first to see it coming.(1). The main aim of the second paragraph is to show that___.(A). medical payment involves a complex process(B). more humans are available for services(C). AI will make services more efficient(D). several doctors are needed in a medical diagnosis答案:C(2). Airline reservations are an early example of___.(A). AI application(B). a face-to-face service(C). the prevalence of flights(D). AI reliance on humans答案:A(3).

Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.My drop-out started before I was born.My biological mother was a young,unwed college graduate student,and she decided to put me up for adoption.She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates,so everything was all setfor me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife.Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.So my parents,who were on a waiting list,got a call in the middle of the night asking:“We have an unexpected baby boy;do you want him?”They said:“Of course.”My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school.She refused to sign the final adoptionpapers.She changed her mind a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.And 17 years later I did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford,and all of my working\|class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition.After six months,I couldnt see the value in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.And here I was spending all the money my parents had saved theirentire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK.It waspretty scary at the time,but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didnt interest me,and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasnt all romantic.I didnt have a dorm room,so I slept on the floor in friends rooms,I returned coke bottles for the 5c/ deposits to buy food with,and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.And much of what I stumbled into turned out to be pricelesslater on.(1).

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Electronic waste,also called e\|waste,has become an issue of serious concern to environmentalists as a growing number of electronic items are discarded inlandfills(垃圾填埋场)every year.Many consumers are not aware that electronics like computers and cell phones actually contain toxins that can enter the soil and damage the environment.Several nations have passed laws about e\|waste to try and keep it out oflandfills,or in landfills which are equipped to handle toxic materials.The heavy metals in e\|waste pose serious environmental and health risks.While many consumers are trained to think of things like cathode ray tubes(阴极射线管)as dangerous articles that require special disposal,most do not connect cell phones,for example,with beryllium, a toxic heavy metal which can cause severe damage to the lungs.In addition to the toxins it contains,e\|waste also takes a very long time to biodegrade,which means that it will be taking up landfill space for centuries.The question of what to do with e\|waste is a serious one.In the first world, many companies have begun to take steps to reduce the amount of e\|waste theypanies which manufacture electronics are starting to take items back when they are no longer useful so that usable elements like copper can be safely removed and the rest of the electronics can be safely disposed of.However,a large portion of unwanted electronics in the first world is being shipped to the third world. Sometimes this e\|waste is shipped under the cover of humanitarian(人道主义的)reasons,arguing that old technology can still help bridge the gap between first and third world.Slow computers which are not wanted in the United States,for example,might make a big difference to someone living in Africa.However, much of this equipment actually arrives in an unusable and broken state,and people desperate for money try to harvest usable materials such as valuable metals from donated equipment.Unfortunately,most of these individuals lack training in how to handle the dangerous materials used in electronics manufacture,and expose themselves and their communities to toxic chemicals and metals.(1). Laws about e-waste have been passed because___.(A). cathode ray tubes are not disposed of properly(B). enough landfills have been built to handle harmful materials(C). consumers are ignorant of the danger of cell phones(D). e-waste contains toxins and biodegrade slowly答案:D(2). It is implied in the third paragraph that___.(A). electronics manufacturers have the ability to deal with e-waste(B). most e-waste in the first world is properly dealt with(C). the usual practice in the first world is to recycle e-waste(D). copper in e-waste is not a recyclable element答案:A(3). The author believes that the unwanted electronics shipped to the thirdworld___.(A). arrives in broken state but is still usable to the poor(B). bridges the technological gap to a great extent(C). does more harm than good in fact(D). serves as a real humanitarian aid to advance technology答案:C(4). The passage mainly deals with___.(A). the dangers caused by e-waste(B). the safe ways to dispose of e-waste(C). the illegal transactions of electronics(D). the gap between first and third world答案:A(5). The word"toxins"(Para.1)probably refers to___.(A). cheap metals(B). electronic parts(C). poisonous substances(D). valuable elements答案:C四、Word Spelling(10 points,1 point for two items)将下列汉语单词译成英语。
