Part 1In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television.【R1】______But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey show. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk".【R2】______For example, the show takes the **mon talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. 【R3】______ Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction.【R4】______Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your workweek, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared with Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends ever with a "final word".【R5】______Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone.【R6】______Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society.【R7】______They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation. While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now.【R8】______Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world. A. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. B. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. C. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans. D. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. E. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be.F. These are 18 to 20 years old whose main troubles in life involve love relationship, sex, money and peers. G And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. H Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophe, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people's lives.1. 【R1】2. 【R2】3. 【R3】4. 【R4】5. 【R5】6. 【R6】7. 【R7】8. 【R8】Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.【R1】______They have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants.【R2】______While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. 【R3】______Their effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones.【R4】______All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes. 【R5】______An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has advantage in traditionally female jobs.【R6】______This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.【R7】______She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, in order of attractiveness, one group of men and one group of women. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men. 【R8】______ A. But an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the masculine qualities required. B. She did a survey among college students. C. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier. D. Their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. E. But in the executive circle, beauty can be a liability. F. However, the women who had ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. G. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? H. Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men.9. 【R1】10. 【R2】11. 【R3】12. 【R4】13. 【R5】14. 【R6】15. 【R7】16. 【R8】The cat has probably been associated with Man since it was first given a place by his fire in return for keeping the cave dwelling free of rats and mice.【R1】______Man's attitude has ranged through indifference and neglect to the extremes of persecution and worship. 【R2】______Temples were built in their honour. Probably the most revered of animal deities was Bast, the cat-headed goddess.【R3】______Occasionally, Bast was depicted as lion-headed, but the majority of the statues of her show her as cat-headed, often surrounded by sacred cats or kittens. The Egyptians had great faith in the power of a living cat to protect them from both natural and supernatural evils.【R4】______These decorated their homes and were buried with them to ensure that the soul of the dead person was protected on its perilous journey through the hostile spirit world. 【R5】______At the end of the last century, a cat cemetery was discovered near the sitethe ancient city of Bubastis. Here literally hundreds of thousands of little cat mummies were found ranged neatly on shelves.【R6】______Thousands were left. An Alexandrian speculator finally thought of a way of turning them into money. He offered them for sale as manure and in 1890 he had a cargo of 180,000 of them shipped to Liverpool.【R7】______They mad less than ￡4 a ton, much less than the value of a single specimen today. The ancient Jews believed that when a religious person who had reached a high degree of sanctity died, his soul entered the body of a cat and remained there until the cat itself died a natural death. 【R8】______ A. They made small ornaments and charms representing cats and the various cat deities. B. The relationship between the cat and Man has not been constant, however. C. There was even a city, Bubastis, named after her. D. Some were stolen, some destroyed, and antique dealers sold many to tourists. E. Only then could it enter paradise. F. They were sold by auction and the auctioneer actually used on instead of his hammer! G Pious Egyptians always mummified their cats and had them buried with almost as much reverence as if they were human beings.H. To the early Egyptians, the cat was a goddess.17. 【R1】18. 【R2】19. 【R3】20. 【R4】21. 【R5】22. 【R6】23. 【R7】24. 【R8】。

BFT阅读（综合）-试卷30(总分：40.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、 Part 2(总题数：4，分数：40.00)1. The larger a machine and the more numerous its parts, the greater likelihood of a breakdown and the more expensive to repair. What has been said about market forces and management was necessarily oversimplified. The economies of modern industrial nations are large and very complex. To be sure, there is management, and there are market forces at work, but there are also many other factors that help or hinder economic function.2. In modern industrial societies, governments play a large role. There are a lot of regulations, most of them are meant for the protection of the public. All regulations affect the way businesses operate, often increasing their costs and reducing their profits. Lower profits, in turn, reduce the amount of money which is known as working capital that a company can use for expansion. Auto emission standards, for instance, have had a significant impact on the manufacture and pricing of automobiles. Other government policies such as taxation, budget deficits, and regulation of the money supply have an effect on how much money is available for people to spend on goods and services.3. International crises and other conditions also affect the working of an economy. A severe frost in Brazil can ruin a coffee crop and raise the price of that commodity. War can cut off the supply of such resources as petroleum, chromium, or copper. In the United States, environmental protests have slowed the development of nuclear energy capacity and the mining of vast tracts of protected land. Weather affects agriculture: a hot, dry summer can damage the wheat crop; floods can destroy thousands of acres of crops suddenly; and insect pests can devastate cropland with a rapid onslaught.4. People's attitudes also have an impact on the marketing of goods. Health-conscious individuals, for example, may stop smoking, curtail their intake of alcohol, and eat less of certain kinds of food. Advertising affects what people buy, and it can create a market where none existed. Style and fashion are significant for many consumers.5. There are other economic problems that are more difficult to understand. For centuries economies have been subject to periods of prosperity followed by periods of decline. Although periods of prosperity can be explained rather easily, the reasons for panics, recessions, and depressions are of a complex nature. So many factors contributed to the Great Depression of the 1930s, for example, that no economist has ever been able to account for all of them.6. Because the causes of decline are uncertain, the remedies are equally uncertain. In the late 20th century all industrialized societies through their governments have tried to stabilize economies, keep them prosperous, and reduce unemployment. None of the remedies has worked to the extent that was hoped. How economies work and what remedies can be found to keep them operating efficiently are the tasks of economists, who must work together with businessmen and politicians. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(A-G)on your Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. Uncertainty of remedies to economic decline B. The role of government in economy C. The political system of a nation D. Factors that influence economy E.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked[A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and write your answerson Answer Sheet 1.Passage1Phones are now the dominant technology with which young people, and urban youth in particular, now define themselves. What sort of phone you carry and how you customize it says a great deal about you, just as the choice of car did for a previous generation. In today's congested cities, you can no longer make a statement by pulling up outside a bar in a particular kind of car. Instead, you make a similar statement by displaying your mobile phone, with its carefully chosen ringtone, screen logo and slip cover. Mobile phones, like cars, are fashion items: in both cases, people buy new ones far more often than is actually necessary. Both are social technologies that bring people together; for teenagers, both act as symbols of independence. And cars and phones alike promote freedom and mobility, with unexpected social consequences.The design of both cars and phones started off being defined by something that was no longer there. Cars were originally horseless carriages, and early models looked suitably carriage-like;only later did car designers realize that cars could be almost any shape they wanted to make them. Similarly, mobile phones used to look much like the push-button type of fixed-line phones, only without the wire. But now they come in a bewildering range of strange shapes and sizes.Less visibly, as the structure of the mobile-phone industry changes, it increasingly resembles that of the car industry. Handset-makers, like carmakers, build some models themselves and have the design and manufacturing done by others. Specialist firms supply particular sub-assemblies in both industries. Outwardly different products are built on a handful of common underlying "platforms" in both industries, to reduce costs. In each case, branding and design are becoming more important as the underlying technology becomes increasingly interchangeable. In phones, as previously happened in cars, established western companies are facing stiff competition from nimbler Asian firms. Small wonder then that Nokia, the world's largest handset-maker,recruited its design chief,Frank Nuovo,from BMW.That mobile phones are taking on many of the social functions of cars is to be welcomed. While it is a laudable goal that everyone on earth should someday have a mobile phone, cars2ubiquity produces mixed feelings. They are a horribly inefficient mode of transport - why move a ton of metal around in order to transport a few bags of groceries? - and they cause pollution.A chirping handset is a much greener form of self-expression than an old banger, it may irritate but it is safe. In the hands of a drunk driver, a car becomes a deadly weapon. That is not true of a phone (though terrorists recently rigged mobile phones to trigger bombs in Madrid). Despite concern that radiation from phones and masts causes health problems, there is no clear evidence of harm, and similar worries about power lines and computer screens proved unfounded. Less pollution, less traffic, fewer alcohol-related deaths and injuries: the switch from cars to phones cannot happen soon enough.1. For young people,mobile phones are like cars because[A] they are made with advanced technology.[B] they are used in social activities.[C] they should be changed frequently.[D] they symbolize their independence.2. The design of mobile phones[A] emphasizes the shape and size more than technology.[B] is modeled on that of automobiles.[C] evolves in a similar way to car design.[D] has been influenced by the shape of fixed-line phones.3. In what way does the mobile phone industry resemble the automobile industry?[A] The model building is done by other companies.[B] Specialist firms contribute most of the assemblies.[C] The cost of production needs to be rationalized.[D] Production is concentrated on a few select platforms.4. Nokia recruited its design chief from BMW to[A] increase the competitive edge of its brand and design.[B] enhance cooperation with the automobile industry.[C] make use of automobile technology in handset manufacturing.[D] produce interchangeable parts for cars and mobile phones.5. What can be concluded from the passage?[A] The replacement of cars by mobile phones arouses mixed feelings.3[B] Mobile phones are a device more friendly to environment.[C] Mobile phones can be used for terrorist purposes.[D] Mobile phones generate harm to the human body as computer screens do.Passage2I prefer to think of our moment as a renaissance rather than a revolution. So many people talk about this computer revolution in terms of the individual user who is empowered to express himself, break down obsolete institutions, or topple the corporate-industrial monoliths. I used to do so myself, but it's an unnecessarily polar and combative vision. And once it's reduced to the idea of empowering individuals, all those individuals start looking a lot more like consumers than autonomous human beings. It devolves quickly into“one-to-one marketing".I used to think that this acceleration of human action was a great thing. I thought we'd simply bypass our restricting editorial voices, get our super-egos out of the way, and behave in that purely spontaneous, wonderful fashion that all human beings would behave in if they were uncorrupted by social and institutional biases. Until about three years ago, I thought that we should just let technology develop at its own pace and in its own way. I wrote three loud books about the potential of the new media and honestly believed I was writing them for what I conceived of as the "counterculture" ideology - or at least for people who sought to use these technologies for a thoughtful, positive cultural evolution. I told the story of how our tightly controlled media was giving way to a more organic, natural mediaspace. Media used to be a top-down affair. People like William Randolph Hearst or Rupert Murdoch could make decisions from the upper floors of glass skyscrapers, and their messages would trickle down to the rest of us through the one-way media. But now, thanks to computers and camcorders and the Internet and modems, the media have been forced to incorporate feedback and iteration. I wrote Media Virus! to announce that the time had come when we could launch any idea we wanted, that the power was in our hands again. I wrote books about how young people understood media better than adults and were already using it in new,exciting ways.At the time, I saw everyone who called for us to put on the brakes, or to put new governors on the development of culture, as the enemy of our cultural evolution. Their vigilance would prevent us from reaching the next level of complexity. But something kept nagging at me. I couldn't help thinking that when you eliminate fear and simply follow your desires, you don't always get the best results. In the worst case, it can even be a recipe for fascism. Over the past few years we have just let the Internet go, and we've got an electronic strip mall as a result. We thought authority was unnecessary and kept it out of our network. That's what gave market forces a free rein. So I started to explore whether there is a way to foster growth, new thought,4cultural innovation, and even markets without getting absolutely carried away and losing all sense of purpose.1. According to the author,which of the following statements is true?[A] The change caused by the computer is not as radical as people thought.[B] The corporate industries are becoming obsolete.[C] The Internet has its own market value.[D] We have little control over the development of technology.2. From the second paragraph it can be inferred that the writer[A] had an objective view of the computer revolution at first.[B] has changed his views about the computer revolution.[C] does not know very much about the computer revolution.[D] overestimated the advantages of the computer revolution.3. The sentence"Media used to be a top-down affair" (line9,para. 2,) probably means that.[A] they represented the interests of the upperclass.[B] they tended to be conservative.[C] information was received in a passive manner.[D] the people at the top have more access to computers.4. Which of the following is made possible by the new media?[A] Less restriction on messages.[B] More spontaneous expression.[C] Two-way communication.[D] Young people's easier access to media.5. What conclusion does the writer reach about the new media?[A] They are great innovations.[B] They should follow their own course.[C] They need to be balanced between control and freedom.[D] They should expand further.Passage3Morally and culturally,American society, as reflected in our TV programs, our theatrical fare,5our literature and art, appears to have hit bottom.Gen. David Sarnoff felt prompted to issue a statement in defense of the TV industry, He pointed out that there was much good in its programs that was being overlooked while its occasional derelictions were being excessively stressed. It struck me that what he was saying about TV applied to other aspects of American culture as well, particularly to the theatrical productions.Without necessarily resting on his conviction that the good outweighed the bad in American cultural activity. I saw further implications in Gen. Sarnoff's declaration. Audiences needed to be sensitized more and more to the positive qualities of the entertainment and cultural media. In addition, through such increased public sensitivity,producers would be encouraged to provide ever more of the fine, and less of the sordid.Here is where questions arise. If the exemplary aspects of TV are not being recognized, what is the reason for such a lack of appreciation? Similarly, and further, if the theatre, including in this term the legitimate stage, on and off Broadway as well as the moving pictures, has large measures of goodness, truth and beauty which are unappreciated, how are we to change this situation?All in all, what should be done to encourage and condone the good, and to discourage and condemn the unsavory in the American cultural pattern?These are serious and pressing questions - serious for the survival of the American Way of Life, and pressing for immediate and adequate answers. Indeed the simple truth is that the face that America shows the world affects seriously the future of democracy all over the globe.Since the theatre in its broadest sense is a large aspect of American culture – its expression as well as its creation - I saw the urgent importance of bringing the worthwhile elements in the American Theatre to the fore. Especially was this importance impressed on me when l realized how much Hollywood was involved in exporting American life to the world, and how much Broadway with all its theatres meant to the modern drama.Then the thought of the Bible came to me in this connection. Was not the Bible the basis of Western civilization as far as morals are concerned? Why not use the Bible as guide and touchstone, as direction and goal in the matter of the cultural achievements of Western society? Thus was born "The Bible on Broadway".It is well known that the drama had its origin in religion. The Greeks, the Romans, as well as the early Hebrews, all had forms of the drama which among the first two developed into our classical plays.In the Middle Ages, it was the Church in the Western World that produced the morality and mystery plays. With such a long history it is not surprising to find an affinity between the Bible and the Theatre.61. What did David Sarnoff's remarks imply?[A] The audience should not be too picky about TV programs.[B] The audience should be aware of the positive aspects of TV programs.[C] The audience need to be provided with a better variety of TV programs.[D] The audience should be encouraged to be critical of TV programs.2. Which of the following statements regarding the theatre would the author most likely agreewith?[A] Critics of American cultural life are biased.[B] The theatre does not reflect American culture.[C] The entertainment media contain much wholesome content.[D] Hollywood has served as the primary source for entertainment.3. Which of the following statements best reflects the author's own ideas?[A] American art forms have degenerated to a new low.[B] The good outweighs the bad in American cultural activity.[C] Only the biblical content of American theatre has positive meaning.[D] Positive content in American culture is not appreciated by the public.4. The expression"the Bible as guide and touchstone" in Paragraph 8 probably means[A] an academic approach to theatrical research.[B] a source of inspiration for audience.[C] standards principle in theatrical production.[D] the use of the Bible as a criterion in everyday life.5. What is the author primarily concerned with?[A] The development of American theatre.[B] The declining trend of morality in America.[C] The lowness of morality in American theatre.[D] The role of the Bible in the contemporary theatre.Passage4A nine year old schoolgirl single handedly cooks up a science fair experiment that ends up debunking a widely practiced medical treatment. Emily Rosa’s target was a practice known as therapeutic touch (TT for short), whose advocates manipulate patients’“energy field”to make7them feel better and even, say some, to cure them of various ills. Yet Emily’s test shows that these energy fields can’t be detected, even by trained TT practitioners. Obviously mindful of the publicity value of the situation, Journal editor George Lundberg appeared on TV to declare, “Age doesn’t matter.It’s good science that matters,and this is good science.”Emily’s mother Linda Rosa, a registered nurse, has been campaigning against TT for nearly a decade. Linda first thought about TT in the late ‘80s, when she learned it was on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado. Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U.S.) don’t even touch their patients.Instead, they waved their hands a few inches from the patient’s body, pushing energy fields around until they’re in “balance.”TT advocates say these manipulations can help heal wounds, relieve pain and reduce fever. The claims are taken seriously enough that TT therapists are frequently hired by leading hospitals,at up to $70 an hour, to smooth patients’ energy,sometimes during surgery.Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it works. To provide such proof, TT therapists would have to sit down for independent testing—something they haven’t been eager to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He’s had one taker so far. She failed.) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs on the line. But who could turn down an innocent fourth grader? Says Emily: “I think they didn’t take me very seriously because I’m a kid.”The experiment was straight forward: 21 TT therapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen. Emily held her own hand over one of theirs left or right and the practitioners had to say which hand it was. When the results were recorded, they’d done no better than they would have by simply guessing. If there was an energy field, they couldn’t feel it.1. Which of the following is evidence that TT is widely practiced?[A] TT has been in existence for decades.[B] Many patients were cured by therapeutic touch.[C] TT therapists are often employed by leading hospitals.[D] More than100,000people are undergoing TT treatment.2. Very few TT practitioners responded to the$1million offer because________.[A] they didn’t take the offer seriously[B] they didn’t want to risk their career[C] they were unwilling to reveal their secret8[D] they thought it was not in line with their practice3. The purpose of Emily Rosa’s experiment was________.[A] to see why TT could work the way it did[B] to find out how TT cured patients’ illnesses[C] to test whether she could sense the human energy field[D] to test whether a human energy field really existed4. Why did some TT practitioners agree to be the subjects of Emily’s experiment?[A] It involved nothing more than mere guessing.[B] They thought it was going to be a lot of fun.[C] It was more straightforward than other experiments.[D] They sensed no harm in a little girl’s experiment.5. What can we learn from the passage?[A] Some widely accepted beliefs can be deceiving.[B] Solid evidence weighs more than pure theories.[C] Little children can be as clever as trained TT practitioners.[D] The principle of TT is too profound to understand.Section III Cloze (10 marks)Directions: Read the following text.

For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(A-H)on your Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. Seasick? Try Controlling Your Breathing If you get seasick easily, you may prepare for boat rides with pressure-point bracelets, ginger, or a prescription skin patch. 1The technique presumably works because it helps control gravity sensors in the abdomen - a lesser-known input to our fine-tuned balance system. 2The inner ears sense motions of the head; the eyes see where the head is; and tiny sensory organs in muscles and tendons sense where the rest of the body is. More recently, researchers have realized that sensors in many other parts of the body also play a role: in the abdomen, the lower organs, and even blood vessels. 3But if one or two don't match up, the brain gets confused and we become nauseated. Scientists knew the most sickening motions closely match the rate of natural breathing; they also knew that people naturally tend to breathe in time with a motion. 4 Researchers from Imperial College London enlisted 26 volunteers to sit in a tilting, rocking flight simulator and coordinate their breathing in various ways with the motion. 5The natural tendency was for volunteers to inhale on every backward tilt, in rhythm with the rocking. 6They felt even better if they breathed slightly faster or slower than the cyclic heaving of the chair; using that technique, the time until onset of nausea was 50% longer than during normal breathing. 7Abdominal sensors are known to send motion signals to the brain more slowly than those in the inner ear because they're farther away from the brain and because abdominal organs have more mass, which means they resist movement a tiny bit longer. 8But if the diaphragm opposes gravity-induced stomach motions with controlled breaths, there is less sensory conflict and less nausea. "This technique is very good for mild everyday challenges," says medical research scientist Michael Gresty, a member of the study team. "It's completely safe, and it's not a drug."A. But if the subjects exhaled on every backward tilt, they didn't get sick as quickly.B. As long as all of these sensors send matching signals to the brain, we feel oriented.C. Now there's one more remedy: timing your breathing to counteract the nauseating motion.D. So why do these tactics work?E. The brain is traditionally thought to sense body position in three ways.F.

New York's Setback Expected to Be Deeper than Nation's 1. It probably came as no surprise to mostNew Yorkers that the nation had officially slipped into a recession by spring, or that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 knocked the wobbly legs out from under an already shaky economy. 2. From Wall Street to Kew Gardens, the pain has been palpable. Just as nearly every resident of the city and surrounding area knew someone who lost a life in the World Trade Center, most know someone who has been directly affected by its economic aftermath dislocations, pay cuts and job losses. 3. That giant sucking sound? It is the gasp of collective belt-tightening across the five boroughs. Statistics confirm the anecdotes. New York City lost 44,200 jobs just in October, the New York State Labor Department said. It could lose 50,000 more by mid-2002. 4. Economists and accountants have tried to tally the damage stemming from the attack, and though their figures do not always match, the costs are undeniably substantial. In addition to the physical damage and cleanup expenses estimated at $30 billion, the attacks could cost New York City some $20 billion in lost economic activity like retail sales and tourism services this year and $10 billion more next year, according to , a research firm based in West Chester, Pa. The $20 billion pledged by the federal government in emergency aid and billions more in insurance payments will help offset those costs, though only about half the federal assistance has actually been appropriated. A sharp falloff in tax revenue, however, will leave the state and city with yawning budget gaps not seen since the early 1990s. The city alone projects a shortfall of $1.3 billion next 5 year and $3.6 billion in 2003. 5. That will keep New York's prospects dim even if the national economy emerges from recession, as economists predict it will in the second half of 2002. New York, they said, will endure a deeper and more protracted downturn than the rest of the country will feel. The gross city product, a measure of the city's economic output, declined 1.6 percent in the third quarter, compared with a 0.4 percent fall for the nation as a whole. 6. Some economists compare the situation in New York to that of cities hit by natural disasters, like Hurricane Andrew in 1992 or the earthquake in Kobe, Japan, in 1995. Initial slumps were followed by building booms that led to revived economies, said Stephen Kagann, chief economist for Gov. George E. Pataki's office. 7. New York, however, will not be helped by a building boom, he said. Rebuilding the World Trade Center, as huge as such a project would be, is unlikely to have a significant impact on the economy, Mr. Kagann said. The original construction had 3,500 jobs at its peak, with maybe 1,500 more ancillary jobs created together, only 0.2 percent of all jobs in the region. "The city's economy is simply too large for rebuilding to be a significant boost," he said. Questions 9-13(10 marks) For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from the box below. For each indicated paragraph, mark one letter(A-G)on your Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. Deeper setback for city B. Role of rebuilding in city's recovery C. Palpable pain D. Consequences of natural disasters E. Estimated economic losses F. Rising unemployment G. Economists' optimism about city's economy（分数：10.00）(1).Paragraph 2 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：正确答案：C）解析：解析：此段第1句中“the pain has been palpable(可触摸的)”为中心句，下面讲几乎每个人纽约人都认识某个在9·11事件中丧生的人，更多的人知道一些在这一恐怖袭击中遭受直接经济损失的人。

BFT（阅读）-试卷10(总分：90.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、 Part 1(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Read the following passage. Eight sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A~H the one which fits each gap. For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(A~H)on the Answer Sheet. Most people associate inflation with price increases on specific goods and services. 1We must be careful to distinguish the phenomenon of inflation from price increases for specific goods.2 Suppose you wanted to know the average price of fruit in the supermarket. 3You might have some success, however, if you sought out the prices of apples, oranges, cherries, and peaches. Knowing the price of each kind of fruit, you could then compute the average price of fruit. The resultant figure would not refer to any particular product, but would convey a sense of how much a typical basket of fruit might cost. 4On occasion, you might even notice that apple prices rose while orange prices fell, leaving the average price of fruit unchanged. The same kinds of calculations are made to measure inflation in the entire economy. We first determine the average price of all output—the average price level—then look for changes in that average. 5 The average price level may fall as well as rise. 6The deflation occurs when price decreases on some goods and services outweigh price increases on all others. 7We already noted, for example, that the price of apples can rise without increasing the average price of fruit, so long as the price of some other fruit(e.g. oranges)falls. 8An increasing in the relative price of apples, for example, simply means that apples have become more expensive in comparison with other fruits(or any other goods or services).A. Because inflation and deflation are measured in terms of average price levels, it is possible for individual prices to rise or fall continuously without changing the average price level.B.A decline in average price is called deflation.C. A rise in the average price level is referred to as inflation.D. In such circumstances, relative prices are changing, but not average prices.E. The economy is not necessarily experiencing an inflation, however, every time the price of a cup of coffee goes up.F. Surely you would not have much success in seeking out an average fruit —nobody would be quite sure what you had in mind.G. Inflation is an increase in the average level of prices, not a change in any specific price.H. By repeating these calculations every day, you could then determine whether fruit prices, on average, were changing.（分数：16.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：G）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：H）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D）解析：解析：前一句提到“如果苹果的价格上涨而其他水果的价格下降，则水果的平均价格不变”。

But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens country poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent—twice the national average.For advocates for the poor, that's an indication that much more needs to be done."More people are getting jobs, but it's not making their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the center in budget and policy priorities in Washington.Canter analysis of US census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a great percentage of single, fame-headed household were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory."Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin that was poisoning the family," says Rector, a welfare reform is changing the moral climate in low-**munities. It's beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important.Mr. Rector and others argued that once "the habit of dependency is cracked," then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.34. It can be seen from the passage that the author ______.A. is over-enthusiastic about the success of welfare reformB. insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poorC. believes the reform has reduced the government's burdenD. considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful35. Why aren't people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?A. Because their wages are low.B. Because many families are divorced.C. Because the cost of living is rising.D. Because government aid is now rare.36. What is worth noting form the example of Athens country is that ______.A. 60 percent of the population no longer relies on welfareB. 70 percent of the people there have been employed for two yearsC. the living standards of most people are going downD. great efforts should be madeto improve people's living standards37. From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at ______.A. providing more jobsB. saving welfare fundsC. rebuilding the work ethicD. cutting government expenses38. According to the passage, before the welfare reform was carried out, ______.A. the poor used to rely on government aidB. the poverty rate was lowerC. the average worker was paid higher wagesD. average living standards were higher39. From the passage we can infer that before 1994 ______.A. most of the people depended on governmentB. most of the people took jobsC. we don't know as the passage didn't sayD. most of the people live a richer life40. About the welfare reform the author's attitude is ______.A. indifferentB. positiveC. objectiveD. criticalPart 4Questions 26-45·Read the following article and choose the best word for each space.·For questions 26-45, mark one letter A, B, C or D on the Answer Sheet.iPhone Left in Hot Car for Three HoursThe normally peaceful suburban town of Winnetka is still reeling following the news Monday (26) a local resident, whose name is being (27) by police pending a full investigation, left an iPhone unattended for more than three hours in a car (28) in the hot sun."Responding to calls from (29) . passersby, who observed the iPhone sitting in a vehicle in the parking (30) of the Westfield Shopping Center, police arrived on the (31) at approximately 4 p.m. and immediately intervened to save the device," said Winnetka police chief Douglas Blaine.

BFT考试(全国出国培训备选人员外语水平考试)-20(总分：90.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、Reading(总题数：5，分数：90.00)Happy Customers: Matter of Honor among JapaneseIn an age when personal service as a significant aspect of merchandising is dying out in the Untied States, Japan clings tenaciously to it. Service is viewed by people in Japan not as a luxury, but as an essential ingredient for the success of individual companies and the Japanese economy as a whole.Americans who move to Japan never get used to the range of services and courtesies taken for granted here. (1)Supermarket check-out counters have two or three people ringing up and bagging groceries. Some stores deliver, with each bag arriving neatly stapled closed. (2)Television shops normally send a technician to install and fine-tune a newly purchased set. (3) Car salespeople are known to bring new models around to customers' homes for test drives and loaners are available for people whose cars are in for repairs.There are no limits to what is home-delivered —video movies, dry cleaning, health foods, rented tailcoats (this last one requires tow visits from the sales staff, first for a fitting, second for delivery of the altered and freshly pressed garment). (4)Japanese barbers often give back massages as part of an ordinary haircut. (5)Department stores seem to have twice, if not three times the floor staff of American ones. (6) Upscale customers don't have to come in at all — the goods are taken to their homes for display and selection.Perhaps the darkest spot on personal service in Japan is how remarkably impersonal it can be. Everyone is treated exactly alike. (7) After a month's stay in a hotel, guests may find the staff still has no idea who they are.Still, the Japanese view service as the glue that holds commercial relationships together. If the correct personal contact and follow-up come with the first sale, a second is sure to come. Market share and loyal customers are the first goal, not short-term profit. (8)A. The technician will rush back if anything goes wrong.B. If they remove a customer's eyeglasses, they may polish the lenses before returning them.C. Employee's cheery greetings and directions, in fact, are often memorized from a company manual.D. Many stores wrap everything they sell.E. Service may cost but it helps ensure these more important objectives.F. Dry ice is inserted alongside the frozen foods to ensure that they don't spoil on the way.G. Office deliveries are common, too, especially of lunch.H. To those old enough to remember how things used to be at home, life can bring on twinges of nostalgia.（分数：16.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：H）解析：[解析] 此空格前面那句说的是移居日本的美国人从来没能习惯在这里被视为理所当然的服务和礼节的范畴。
