Could you tell us the secrets of your successful career?Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is "location, location, location", the golden rule of work is "relationships, relationships,relationships". Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat them with respect.Lillian: Could you give me more details?Baxter: Let's take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff's expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain. Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time? Although the financial department's offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visited them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company's chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. Thus the two forged a long-term alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company's offices inGermanyandJapan. Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it's far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increasesyour reputation with the top management.Unit 4 let’s tallk 1Ayesha: In the newsroom you have about 16 reporters. The news reporters sit in one part of the room, and you have features on the other side of the room. I'm just going to see Kev, he's my news editor and he's gonna do a brief, basically brief me on a story that's happening later on. When I walk into my newsroom I don't know what to expect. You start at eight but you don't know how long that's gonna go on for. Hello. Kevin: Hi Ayesha. So we're really looking for a featurey sort of piece for tomorrow's paper.Ayesha: FrenchayHospital, which is one of our hospitals inBristol. They're celebrating their 10 years of this head injury unit, and we've been invited up. We're gonna obviously cover and take pictures, and I'm gonna get to speak to people. So he was really giving me guidelines.Kevin: You know when you're doing your interviews, speak to people in some detail about, you know, how they were injured in the first place, but then the treatment they've gone through. OK?Ayesha: Yeah. Excellent! Thank you!Well, I've just started writing up for my next, and just basically from the day. I've got to get something through, I think, by about four. Sometimes I come back and I've got so much going on in my hands. So I'm just trying to, sort of, just work it through. Deadlines are very stressful. But you have to meet them because it's important; it's part of what newspaper journalism is all about. You get used to it by getting the guidance, managing your time, but it's still scary. OK. It's all done. OK. This is theBristolfinal. If I have a look at page 14, there we are, and that's my story. Exciting!Unit 4 VI 3They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say goodbye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO.The message read, "Blame your predecessor." So, the new CEO held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.The message read, "Reorganize." The new CEO did it, and the company quickly rebounded.The message said, "Prepare three envelopes." It implied that it was time for Carl to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.Unit 4 viewing and speaking task 1You don't come into journalism for the money. When you start, you're sort of earning, I think, about 150 to 180 pounds a week, which really isn't very much to live on. But then as you move up, you get more, so you're looking to get14,000 ayear, 15,000,16,000 ayear. And you know you're working really long hours, and it's hard work.OK thanks, bye.Waiting for phone calls and waiting for people to get back to you is really frustrating. Like today I had other things to keep me going and I was doing other things, but you know I've got this thing over my head because I know I've got to get this quote and I've got to keep chasing it and then while you're working on other stories whether they're bigger or smaller ones you know. It's very frustrating because you just want to get this done and out of the way, but it just doesn't happen.Journalism is just a, is a great career to go into because (there's) so much you can do. So you can stay in newspapers, you can go into radio, television—there's just so much out there, and I guess at the stage where I am—sort of just starting out, just really looking at what there is and what I will enjoy doing more.In 10 years I think I'd like to be an editor of a section of a national paper either here or abroad, 20 years, launching my own paper.Journalism is just fantastic because you don't know what's happening on a day-to-day basis. You meet so many different people and it just puts you in such a privileged position. And I just love it. I just think it's great.Unit 4TestP1D D A D DP2expensive ,declined ,averaged ,compared ,agency ,floor ,accommodation.

Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Many Chinese students are too shy to say anything in a classroom.M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty, and they don’t want to appear to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius.Q: Wh y don’t Chinese students say anything in classroom according to the man? 2.ScriptW:The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work.M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It’s a situation that has to be changed.Q: What does the man say about women?3. ScriptW: I admire Michael Dell. He had a dream to be the world’s largest manufacturer of personal computers, and he has realized that dream.M:And he dropped out of university to become a success. I wonder if there is a lesson in that.Q: What do we learn about Dell from the conversation?4. ScriptM: Successful entrepreneurs are often self-made people who have a vision and know where they are going.W: But do they enjoy life like you and me, or is money their only concern?Q: What are the two speakers’ attitudes toward successful entrepreneurs?5. ScriptW: Do you agree that equal opportunity for all in an educational system is important? M: Yes, but we have to recognize that all of us are not of equal ability.Q: What does the man imply?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3. D 4.B 5.AIII. Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaScriptAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on American competition.Alan:Competition is everywhere and constant. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to comp ete from early childhood.When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza:Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. Wh en children are growing up, they compete with one another in their studies.Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others.Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan:I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great.Makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that norma l throughout the world? Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s competition in other countries as well.Eliza: You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is mo re deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say. Anyway, there’s no accounting for different cultures.1.What is the dialog mainly about?2.What is the woman doing?3.What do children learn from playing games according to the woman?4.What does the man say about students’ studies?5.What does the woman say when asked which makes more sense, competition orcooperation?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.DTask 2: Americans’ Work EthicScriptFor four hundred years or more, one thing has been a characteristic of Americans. It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsively. The word “workaholic” describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Do you know what “Freeze!” means?ScriptThere is one word which you must learn before you visit the U.S.A. That is “Freeze!” It means, “Stand still and don’t move.” Police off icers use it when they are ready to use their guns. If the person does not obey the command and moves, they shoot.One evening in Los Angeles, someone rang the bell doorbell of a house. It was a dangerous area at night, so the owner of the house took his gun with him when he answered the door. He opened the door and saw a person, who turned round and started walking away from the house. The owner cried “Freeze!”, but the man went on walking. The owner thought he tried to escape, so he shot him dead.Later, a sad story was uncovered. The dead man was Yoshiro Hattori, a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student. He went to visit a friend for a Halloween party, but he could not remember the number of the house. When he realized that he had gone to the wrong house, he turned round to leave. He did not know much English and so did not understand the command “Freeze!”.The tragedy arose from cultural misunderstanding. Those who have lived in the United States for a long time understand the possibility of being shot when one trespasses upon an individual’s property. It is a well-known fact in America that a person’s home is his castle. Although Rodney Pears, the owner of the house, gave a verbal warning “Freeze!” to Hattori, Hattori did not know it meant “Stand still and don’t move”, and therefore did not obey it. This misunderstanding became the trigger of Hattori’s disaster. The concept of owning guns is hard for Japanese people to understand, but in America you are permitted to own a gun under the U.S. Constitution.1.Wh at does the word “Freeze!” mean in the passage?2.What did the owner of the house take with him when he answered the door?3. Why did the Japanese student turn around and leave?4.What is mentioned as a possible result of trespassing?5.Wh y is the phrase “a person’s home is his castle” quoted in the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.CIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1Americans glorify individualism.Susan: John, I was looking for you. Where have you been hiding all morning? John: Well, I caught Professo r Brown’s lecture on American individualism. Susan:Oh, how did you find it?John:Enlightening. Americans glorify individualism. They believe individual interests rank above everything else.Susan:Sounds intersting. It’s a sharp contrast to the orien tal collectivism Professor Wang talked about last semester.John:But you should know that the individualism in the United States is not necesssarily an equivalent for selfishness.Susan: Then what does it mean in the States?John: They believe all values, rights, and duties originate in individuals, so they emphasize individual initiative and independence.Susan:There could be something in that. Of course in oriental countries the interests of the group are more important than anything else.John: I So, it’s all the more necessary for foreigners to understand American culture, or they can’t hope to understand the importance of privacy in the West.. Susan:Maybe that’s the reason nuclear families outnumber extended families in the United States.John: Right on! You’re catching on fast!Susan: Now let me ask you a question.John: Shoot. Go ahead.Susan: Why do Americans cherish individualism more than oriental people? John: I don’t know. Anyway, Professor Brown didn’t say.Susan: One reason might be that American children stop sleeping with their parents at an early age. They learn independence early, so it’s deeply rooted. John: Wow, that’s an intelligent guess!MODEL2What do you think are the reasons forthat difference?ScriptSusan: Do you find that people in America often walk faster than people in China?Americans always seem to be in a hurry.John: It’s hard to come to a definite conclusion. Some Americans walk in a leisurely way, and some Chinese hurry all the time. But on the whole, Ithink you’re right.Susan:What do you think are the reasons for that difference?John:Americans treasure time. For them, time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.” You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even“kill time”!Susan:Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?John:Sure. If you’re 20 minutes late for a bussiness appointment, the other person or persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore.Susan: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late fora dinner party.John: That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time. Susan:But if his secretary is late, s he’s in trouble. She will probably receive a reprimand.John: How true!Susan:The American workship of time probably led them to create fast foods. John: I agree. And globalization shrinks the differences between cultures. Now people everywhere are rushing, and anywhere you go, you find KentuckyFried Chicken.Susan: But plenty of Chinese are still making appointments saying, “If I am late, wait for me.”John: But with more intercultural communication, I think the gap will eventually be bridged, and Chinese will be hurrying everywhere.MODEL3That’s the secret of their success.ScriptChris: Hey Sue, how’s the math class going? Are you head of the class?Susan:Are you kidding? There’s a bunch of foreign students in the class---from China somewhere---and they are on top.Chris: Why do you think so many Chinese students excel in math? It’s been my observation that the Chinese students are usually the best.Susan:In class they don’t say much, but they definitely get the best marks. Chris: I think part of it is their work ethic. They never skip class, and they pay attention.Susan:One Chinese student in my class did homework each night until the early hours. He never took a break, watched TV, or went out for a beer.Chris:That’s the secret of their success: hard work and deligence.Susan:It’s so unfair. I could probably do better if I worked harder, but that’s no fun.I think learning should be more fun.Chris:Someone with a knowledge of chess would find a chess tournament fascinating. But if you don’t have the knowledge, then you won’t understand the significance of themoves, and you’ll be bored.Susan:So what you’re saying is knowledge requires hard work, and knowledge makes things interesting. I am not against knowledge; I just want to learn it in an interesting way.What’s more, “All work and noplay makes Jack a dull boy.”Now Your TurnTask 1:SAMPLE DIALOGMaggie: Josh, you were late for work this morning.Josh: I was only about ten minutes late. Anyway, the boss didn’t say anyt hing about it.Maggie:As a friend, I must give you a warning. You should understand that Americans treasure time.Josh: What do you mean?Maggie: You see, for them time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.” You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!Josh: Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?Maggie: If you’re 20 minutes late for a business appointment, the other persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore. Today you were ten minuteslate for work. That was bad enough.Josh: I was caught in a traffic jam. What could I have done?Maggie: You should have called the secretary to say you might be late. I learned the importance of punctuality when I studied at an American university. Josh: Tell me about it.Maggie: Some students were late handing in assignments and the professors gave them poor marks. One professor even refused to read a term paper that wasturned in after the deadline.Josh: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late fora dinner party.Maggie:That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time. Josh: But if his secretary is late, she’s in trouble. Sh e will probably be reprimanded.Maggie: How true!V. Let’s TalkScriptCulture shock happens to most people who travel abroad. Psychologists tell us that there are five distinct phases of culture shock.During the first few days of a person’s stay in a ne w country, everything usually goes fairly smoothly. The newcomer is excited about being in a new place where there are new sights and sounds, new smells and tastes. They may find themselves staying in hotels or with a home-stay family that is excited to meet the foreign stranger. This first stage of culture shock is called the “honeymoon phase”.Unfortunately, this phase often comes to an end fairly soon. The newcomer may encounter many problems in transportation, shopping, or interpersonal communication. You may feel that people no longer care about your problems. You might even start to think that the people in the host country don’t like foreigners. This may lead to the second stage of culture shock, known as the “rejection phase”. The newcomer may start to complain about and reject the host culture.If you don’t survive stage two successfully, you may find yourself moving into stage three: the “regression phase”. The word “regression” means moving backward, and in this phase of culture shock, you spend much of your time speaking your own language, watching videos from your home country, and eating food form home. Also, you may remember only the good things about your home country.If you survive the third stage successfully, you will move into the fourth stage of culture shock called the “recovery phase”. In this stage you become more comfortable with the customs of the host country. You start to realize that no country is that much better than another---they are just different.Much later, when you return to your homeland, you may find yourself entering the fifth phase of culture shock---the “reverse culture shock”. After you have become comfortable with the habits and customs of a new lifestyle, you may find that you are no longer completely comfortable in your home country. It may take a little while to become at ease with your home culture.If you overcome the problems in all five phases, you will be much stronger, and youVI.Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: PunctualityScriptT o Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to chance it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop in” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships mor e than schedules. In these societies, people don’t try to control time, but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature---from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon---shapes their view of events. If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”1.According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do they do?2.According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for an appointmentis fixed?3.How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships and schedules?4.According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried if they let anopportunity pass by?5. What was Benjamin Franklin’s view of time?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.DTask 2: Our Personal SpacesScriptOur personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.For example, cultures that stress individualism such as England, the United States, Germany, and Australia generally demand more space than collective cultures do, and tend to become aggressive when their space is invaded. This idea of space is quite different from the one found in the Mexican and Arab cultures. In Mexico, the physical distance between people when engaged in conversation is closer than what is usual north of the border. And for middle easterner, typical Arab conversations are at close range. Closeness cannot be avoided.As is the case with most of our behavior, our use of space is directly linked to the value system of our culture. In some Asian cultures, for example, employees do not stand near their bosses; the extended distance demonstrates respect. Extra interpersonal distance is also part of the cultural experience of the people of Scotland and Sweden, for whom it reflects privacy. And in Germany, private space is sacred. Keys: 1.T 2.F 3.T 4.F 5.FTask 3: We don’t know what to do with them.ScriptA Russian, a Cuban, an American businessman, and an American lawyer were passengers on a fast train speeding across the French countryside. As time wore on, the men gradually became friendly with one another, introducing themselves and shaking hands. Eventually, the Russian took out a large bottle of vodka and poured each of his traveling companions a drink. Just as the American businessman was sipping the vodka and praising its fine quality, the Russian hurled the half-full bottleout of the open window.“What did you do that for?” asked the startled American businessman.“V odka is plentiful in my country,” said the Russian, “In fact, we have thousands and thousands of liters of it---far more than we need.”The American businessman shook his head and leaned back in his seat, obviously baffled by the Russian’s reasoning.A little later, the young Cuban passed around a box of fine Havana cigars. The men enjoyed this treat and made admiring remarks about the pleasures of smoking good Havana cigars. At that very moment the Cuban took a couple of puffs of his cigar and then tossed it out of the open window.“I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year,” the American businessman said. “Yet you threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling.”“Cigars,” the Cuban replied, “are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of them than we know what to do with.”The American businessman sat in silence for a moment. Then he got up, grbbed the lawyer, and threw him out of the window.News ReportRussian Popcorn FestivalScriptAmerican popcorn has made its way into the heart of Russian culture. Organizers and participants came together on Sunday at a Moscow festival marking the tenth anniversary of the introduction of popcorn to Russia.It was exactly ten years ago, on December 16, 1991, that popcorn, considered an American delicacy here, first made its appearance in this land famous for its artists.To celebrate the occasion, ten “artists” decided to recreate a famous Russian painting in, you guessed it, popcorn. It took the ten artists a total of six hours of painstaking work to complete the popcorn painting. The result of this long ordeal was a 120 square meter popcorn mosaic.The Russian Records Agency, the local equivalent of the Guinness Book of World Records, was at the Manezh exhibition complex to witness the event. A ceremony was held in front of onlookers to officially register the record.[SOUND BITE]The ceremony was immediately followed by a popcorn lovers’feast, with festival-goers consuming large amounts of the much-loved snack. Both the young and the old eagerly took part in the festive celebrations. Some participants voiced their support for the unusual event. [SOUND BITE]There were also those who talked about feeling a sense of camaraderie among their fellow popcorn enthusiasts.[SOUND BITE]The celebrations continued for hours and even included some live performances.Clean up for the event was no problem---there were many eager onlookers on hand to cleanup---and eat---the delicious mess.11。

While most people work a five-day workweek, (S1)when the hardware costs outweigh human costs, the(S2)competitiveness of the modern economy means that leaving a factory idle for two days or an office (S3)unmanned is too great an expense. Thus, many workers (S4)regularly work on weekends. Since this is seen as a greater burden, most employers pay (S5)extra for weekend work, either by agreement or by law.The rapid increase in the number of two-income(S6)households has also changed the character of the weekend. (S7)Previously the stay-at-home spouse would do the shopping during the week. With both working, most of the shopping must be done on weekends, leaving less time for recreation. (S8)To serve these new shoppers it is also necessary for more store s to remain open and thus more people to work on weekends.The functions of the workweek and weekend vary a great deal in some areas. Stores that rely on office workers will see far less business on a weekend, while those in the suburbs or in residential areas will see far more. (S9)Weekends are days when people can safely sleep in and also not have to worry as much about the ill effects of a hangover, so Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest for bars, restaurants, clubs, and movie theaters. There is substantially less activity on many websites on weekends.(S10)One area in which the weekend has remained unaffected is education, where schools are shut on Saturdays and Sundays.。

You should decide on the best choice and then write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneContrary to popular belief, “falling stars”are not stars at all，but are meteors，solid bodies that travel through space．Meteors，ranging in size from that of a pinhead，to many tons，are visible to the naked eye at night，when the friction between the surfaces of the meteors and of the air，produces heat as the meteors enter the earth’s atmosphere．The intense heat burns up the meteors，which leave a blazing trail of light in their wake．Most meteors do burn up when they enter the earth’s atmosphere with the exception of the large meteors，which are dragged through the earth’s atmosphere by the earth’s gravitational pull．After successful landings upon the earth，these huge bodies are renamed meteorites．Some scientists theorize that thousands of meteors fall to the earth during the daytime and the nighttime，but this theory is impossible to prove or to disprove，as most would necessarily land in water，which covers most of the earth’s surface．Generally speaking，meteors and meteor particles travel together in swarms like bees，with the exception of the loners，and travel in any direction they choose．Nature’s spectacular fireworks show，a“meteor shower”，comes into view when the swarms encounter the upper layer of th e earth’s atmosphere during the earth’s perpetual revolution around the sun．The friction produced when the meteors and the meteor particles rub against the atmosphere air，and they fall towards the earth in a brilliant display of light．The source of meteors traveling through space has yet to be explained satisfactorily．For thousands of years，the common belief held，was that meteors，or“falling stars，”were literally from out of this world．In 467 BC，Roman historians recorded the extraordinary fall of a meteor tothe earth．Today, astronomers support the theory that comets spawn the swarms．The comets’ offspring，the meteor swarms，travel in regular orbits，similar to the earth’s orbit around the sun．0ne must be quite patient to witness such a swarm，or a meteor shower，as the swarms cross the earth’s path only once every 33 years．This spectacle of light is，however，well worth the wait．21．Meteors were believed to be “falling stars” NOT in that ．A) they themselves can send out light and heatB) they look like starsC) they are from out of the worldD) they are moving downward22．What is the relationship between meteors and meteorites?A) When meteors travel through space and arrive at the earth，all of them become meteorites．B)When meteors travel through space and land on the earth, swarms of meteor particles are called meteorites．C)When meteors travel through space and arrive at the earth，only very large meteors become meteorites．D)When meteors travel through space and land on the earth，thousands of meteors become meteorites．23.Why are meteors visible to the naked eye at night?A)Because they are large stars．B)Because most of them are burned up，giving a brilliant display of light．C)Because they are close enough to be seen．D)Because they，like the moon，can reflect the light of some stars．24．Which of the following is NOT a feature of meteors?A)Different in size． B)Made of solids．C)Hot and bright． D)In groups．25．Which of the following statements is true?A)Until now，there have been no satisfactory and convincing findings as to the source of meteors．B)Many astronomers believe meteors move in regular orbits around the sun．C)It has been proved that thousands of meteors travel to the earth every year，but we can only see such a show as described every 33 years． D)A meteor shower was recorded by historians more than 2，500 years ago．Passage TwoAs recently as 50 years ago，economists regarded the vitality of the economy as its ability to produce things people want(and would payfor)．Today, the economy has been redefined into something called the Gross Domestic Product，or GDP．It measures all goods and services brought to market in a given year．But is it really an accurate measure of how well an economy is serving people’s needs? Here are some outlandish ways the GDP can be boosted．Things Kids Can Do. Get sick．Constant medical attention is good for the GDP．Medical costs account for l4 percent of it．Let’s stay on the growth curve．Kids can commit crimes．If they get arrested，they go to jail，the expensiveness of which gives the economy a push．Things Adults Can Do. Get a divorce．Legal costs，two houses，and all the things that go with two hours(furniture，kitchen supplies，pictures，etc．)are important components of the GDP．Divorces stimulate consumer demand．Break something around the house，like a television，a dish，or a window．Replacing these increases the GDP and creates jobs．Smash up the car．It will have to be fixed or replaced．The auto industry employs，directly and indirectly，one of every seven workers in the U．S．，and they need the overtime．For great results，burn down the house．Don’t worry．If you handle it right，insurance will pay for it and the rebuilding will keep a lot of people busy for awhile．Overeat，don’t exercise，don’t brush your teeth do drugs，smoke，drink，and make yourself terribly sick．Get family members to do the same．Higher medical expenditures especially help the GDP move up，up，up．Hire a lawyer and take somebody to court．Lawyers’ fees are directly added to the GDP．For Best Results, Get the Government Involved. Lobby your elected representatives to raise taxes and spend more money．Government spending on goods and services adds to the GDP and‘‘creates” jobs．Start a war．Preferably one far away where no Americans get killed．B 一2 bombers，tanks，bullets…all count in the GDP．Also，send Stinger missiles to liberation armies around the world．Maybe some of these missiles will be used to knock down airliners．Replacing them helps the economy，and，if lawyers get involved，there’s a GDP bonus．Target savers! People who save actually hurt the economy because they don’t spend．If people spend their savings，then those purchases are added to the GDP．When th ey don’t spend，the economy suffers．What can be done to discourage saving? First，tax the return on savings：a higher capital gains tax would be very helpful．Second，and best，devalue the currency．By printing up more and more money, we can reduce the value of p eople’savings(especially their long—term savings such as their pension funds)，secretly stealing their savings for politicians to spend and thereby increase the GDP．Get Mother Nature on Your Sides. Pray for a natural disaster：a hurricane，an earthquake，a big fire，a flood．Disasters give the GDP a tremendous lift because of all the rebuilding that must take place． If we do all these things，we’11 have enough statistical growth to replace decades of economic stagnation．We may achieve double—digit rates．As for whether the economy is actually of vitality，we’11 have to ask an economist who exercises more critical judgment than those who swear by GDP data．26．According to the writer，the GDP ．A) is a perfect sign of living standardsB) demonstrates what people wantC) mirrors how far our life goes wrongD) only reflects statistical growth27．By smashing household facilities，yon willA）be compensated by your insurance companyB) get divorcedC）face accusationD) create jobs for others28．The passage suggests several things the government can do regarding boosting the economy EXCEPT ．A) cut down on expendituresB) send Americans to warC) encourage inflationD) tax money savers29．Which of the following is NOT suggested by the author?A)Firing missiles against planes．B)Increasing productivity.C)Setting houses on fire．D)Spoiling your health.30．The tone of the passage is ．A)angry B)supportive c)sarcastic D)approvingPart III Vocabulary and Structure（本大题共30小题，每小题0.5分，共15分）Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

(10 points)The Peace CorpsThe Peace Corps is an independent federal agency of the United States designed to promote mutual understanding between Americans and the outside world. The Peace Corps was established by executive order in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy and approved by Congress as a permanent agency within the State Department later that year. The program came about during the Cold War and was designed to oppose the Soviet challenge to Western influence in the widely open Third World area of superpower competition. More than 180,000 Americans have served in the Peace Corps since its beginning.Purpose & functionThe program officially has three goals. The first is to help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers. The second is to help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served. And the third is to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.The Peace Corps works by first announcing its availability to foreign governments. These governments then determine areas in which the organization can be involved. The organization then matches the requested assignments to its pool of applicants and sends those volunteers with the appropriate skills to the countries that first made the requests.Background & historySince the end of the Second World War, various members of the United States Congress had proposed bills to establish volunteer organizations in the Third World. In 1952 Senator Brien McMahon proposed an “army”of young Americans to act as “bringers of democracy”. Privately funded non-religious organizations had been sending volunteers overseas since the 1950s.John F. Kennedy first announced his own idea for such an organization during the 1960 presidential campaign at a late-night speech at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on October 14. During a later speech in San Francisco, California on November 1, he named this proposed organization the “Peace Corps”. Critics of the program (including Kennedy’s opponent, and future United States president, Richard M. Nixon)claimed the program would be nothing but a place for young people to hide from military service. Others doubted whether college-aged volunteers had the necessary skills. The idea was popular among most college students, however, and Kennedy continued to pursue it, asking respected academics such as Max Millikan and Chester Bowles to help him outline the organization and its goals. During his opening address as president, Kennedy again promised to create the program.Established & approvedOn March 1, 1961, Kennedy signed an Executive Order which officially started the Peace Corps. Concerned with the growing tide of revolutionary feelings in the Third World, Kennedy saw the Peace Corps as a means of countering the notions of the “Ugly American“, especially in the emerging nations of postcolonial Africa and Asia.On March 4, Kennedy appointed Sargent Shriver to be the program’s first director. Shriver was tasked with fleshing out the organization, which he did with the help of Warren W. Wiggins and others. Shriver and his think tank outlined the three major goals of the Peace Corps and decided the number of volunteers they needed to recruit. The program began recruiting volunteers that following July.Until about 1967, applicants to the Peace Corps had to pass a placement test that tested “general knowledge” (knowledge of various skills needed for various Peace Corps assignments) and language ability. After an address from Kennedy, who was introduced by Rev. Russell Fuller of Memorial Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, on August 28, 1961, the first group of volunteers left for Ghana and Tanzania. The program was formally approved by Congress on September 22, 1961 and within two years over 7,300 Peace Corps volunteers were serving in 44 countries. This number would jump to 15,000 in June of 1966, the largest number in the organization’s history.Early troubles for the Peace CorpsThough the organization was begun with the noblest of intentions, it experienced a big controversy in its very first year of operation. On October 13, 1961, a postcard written by a volunteer named Marjorie Michelmore in Nigeria to her boyfriend in the US caused some problems. In it, she described Nigeria as “ugly and absolutely primitive in living conditions”. This postcard, however, never made it out of the country. A student at the University College at Ibadan found it and made copies to distribute around campus. Nigerian students accused the volunteers of being spies of the US government. Soon the international press picked up the story and this led several people in the US administration to question the future of the program as a whole. Nigerian students protested the program, and the American volunteers hid themselves away and eventuallybegan a hunger strike. After several days, the Nigerian students agreed to open a dialogue with the Americans.Independent statusIn July 1971, President Nixon brought the Peace Corps under the umbrella agency, ACTION. The Peace Corps would remain under ACTION until President Jimmy Carter declared it fully independent in a 1979 executive order. This independent status would be further secured when Congress passed legislation in 1981 to make the organization an independent federal agency.Programs branching outAt this time, the Peace Corps began branching out past its traditional concerns of education- and agriculture-related projects. In 1982, Director Loret Miller Ruppe began several new business-related programs. For the first time, a large number of conservative and Republican volunteers joined the group of overseas volunteers, and the organization continued to reflect the evolving political and social conditions in the United States.Funding cuts during the early 1980s dropped the number of volunteers to 5,380, its lowest level since the organization’s early years. Funding began to increase in 1985, and Congress passed an initiative to raise the number of volunteers to 10,000 by 1992.After the September 11, 2001 attacks alerted the nation to growing anti-US feelings in the Middle East, President George W. Bush pledged to double the size of the organization within five years as a part of the War on Terrorism. For 2004, Congress passed a budget increase at $325 million, $30 million above that of 2003 but $30 million below the President’s request.Now, the Peace Corps is trying to double the number of volunteers it sends abroad by 2007. This is in accordance with Bush’s request in 2002. According to Joseph Kennedy, “The American reputation has taken a hit in the last couple of years. The need for the Peace Corps couldn’t be more urgent than it is right now, at this moment. The Peace Corps shows what is best in America, the generosity of spirit.” The Peace Corps is trying to get more diverse volunteers of different ages. This is important so that the Peace Corps can look “more like America” (in the words of Vasquez, its director). (Words: 1136)31.

(20 points)Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Standing alone at the Browns’ party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind’s eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they’d been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish.She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward’s pleading (恳求).In the Browns’ rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised.The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul inthe room.When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.41. Why did Anna feel awkward at the party?A. She came to the party too early.B. She was neglected by the host.C. She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.D. She didn’t know anyone there.42. What made Anna feel inadequate?A. She did not make a good mother to her children.B. She was unable to satisfy her husband’s desire to have children.C. She did not get along well with her husband.D. She was unable to have a better understanding of her husband.43. As time went by, Anna started to get angry as ________.A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they wereB. her husband was lateC. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to herD. her husband was bad-mannered in the party44. According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend the party because________.A. he wanted her to have more of a social lifeB. he tried to distract her from some unpleasant thoughtsC. he needed her supportD. he thought she would impress the Browns45. What kind of woman Anna was according to the passage?A. Sensitive and worried.B. Open and talkative.C. Imaginative and cheerful.D. Sensible and easygoing.Passage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new computer virus.Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the “Code Red” bug, according to an official.The virus is known as a “denial of service”bug, because it replicates (自我复制) itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other servers—thereby multiplying and sometimes crashing a system—and denying access to legitimate (合法的) users of the site.“The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD (Department of Defense) web sites and we’re working to contain that,” Command Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. “Ways we’re going about that include blocking public access to the Web sites, because that’s the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itself.”The virus exploits a security flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network servers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it.“To protect our DoD web sites from being compromised, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers… to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed,” says Venable.Only a handful of the major Defense Department sites, with the suffix “.mil,” appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services’main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site and the US Air Force’s European site.
