江西历年学位英语考试真题Part1 Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:After reading so much, you may wonder how to make a book. It’s time for you to have a try!Have you ever wondered how a book is made? It takes a lot of people to make a book. It can take months, or even years, for a book to go from an idea to a finished product.A book begins when an author comes up with an idea for a book. Authors get ideas in different ways. They may get ideas from their own lives, from watching the world around them, orfrom reading.Next, an author may plan the book by making an outline ( 提纲 ). Sometimes authors do research to gather information. They may read books or articles. They may interview people orvisit places.Then, the author begins to write. Authors may write for months or years to finish a manuscript. A manuscript is the text an author produces for publication.Finally, the author sends the completed manuscript to a publisher. If the publisher decides topublish the book, the author works with an editor. An editor reads the manuscript. Then he or sherecommends changes to improve the book. A copy editor reads the manuscript to correct anygrammatical mistake.After an author makes the suggested changes, a designer may decide how the book will look.The designer may choose the size, shape, and type styles for the book. Some picture book authorscreate their own illustrations(插图). If not, an illustrator is chosen to create pictures for the book.The illustrator makes sketches of pictures that will go on each page. The sketches are sent tothe publishing company. The editor makes sure the pictures clearly tell the story. The designerchecks how the words and pictures will fit together on the pages.2After the design changes are made, the illustrator begins creating the final pictures. He or shemay change the colours, the perspective, or the composition of pictures. It may take months tocreate all the pictures.The finished art is then sent to the publisher. The designer adjusts(调整)how the picturesand words fit together on the pages. The completed pages are sent to the printer. Many books arestill made into books with paper pages.The printer uses huge printing presses to make the pages. The pages are fixed together. Thebook cover is added. The finished books are then sent to the publisher’s warehouse. They arestored there until they are bought by libraries and bookstores.E-readers have changed how some books are made. Some authors do not use a publisheratall. Instead of sending a manuscript to a publisher, some authors turn their manuscripts intoeBooks themselves. Finally, an author’s eBook is uploaded(上传)to virtual bookstores on theInternet. Customers can buy and download eBooks from these websites.1. According to the passage, the designer’s job is to ________. [单选题] *A. create pictures for the book.B. make an outline of the book.C. decide how the book will look.(正确答案)D. correct grammatical mistakes in the book.2. Your first book will be published soon. What will first happen to it after the illustrator hascreated the final pictures? [单选题] *A. B.C.(正确答案)D.3. The writer uses the LAST paragraph to ________. [单选题] *A. introduce the history of eBooks.B. describe the disadvantages of eBooks.C. show the development of making a book.(正确答案)D. ask customers to support authors in making a book.4. The writer explains how to make a book by ________. [单选题] *A. giving causesB. showing steps(正确答案)C. providing examplesD. expressing opinions5. What is the best title for the passage? *A. From Idea to Book(正确答案)B. Different Kinds of BooksC. Workers in the Publishing HouseD. Between Publishers and CustomersPassage TwoGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming foryears can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle aftermany years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother whohas not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle,twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: Once we havelearned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will rememberit.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves ofwords such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things weoverlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though itmay result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, astudent may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon toforget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary forone's future development.6. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? [单选题] *A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.(正确答案)B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.7. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________. [单选题] *A. presenting research findingsB. selling down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples(正确答案)8. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.4 [单选题] *A. a result of overlearning(正确答案)B. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies9. What does the word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to? [单选题] *A. Commonly accepted rules.B. The multiplication tables.(正确答案)C. Things easily forgotten.D. School subjects.10. What is the author's opinion on cramming? [单选题] *A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.(正确答案)C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.Passage ThreeQuestions1 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was justanother Jamaican teenager without much of a future. However, one person wanted to change this.Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly-Ann at a track meet and was convincedthat he had seen the beginnings of true greatness. Her times were not exactly impressive, but evenso, he sensed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlookedwhen they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly-Ann a place in hisvery strict training sessions. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later atJamaica's Olympic trials in early 2008, Shelly-Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in theworld, beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint (短跑).“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear againwithout signs. But Shelly-Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At theBeijing Olympics she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again oneyear on at the World Championships in Berlin, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73 —the fourth fastest time ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not comeabout by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything butsmooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known asWaterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother andtwo brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent andoverpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes herfamily didn't have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because shecouldn't afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herselfas a young girl, but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby.5Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination toensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the firstthings Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready tosacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse.On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitmentfinally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty,surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports. But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped.The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared fora few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. Shehopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it awoman's as well as a man's world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Anncan be proud of is her understanding of this truth.11. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann? [单选题] *A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.(正确答案)C. She had big problems maintaining her performance.D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.12. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games? [单选题] *A. She would become a promising star.B. She badly needed to set higher goals.C. Her sprinting career would not last long.(正确答案)D. Her talent for sprinting was known to all.13. What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track? [单选题] *A. Her success and lessons in her career.B. Her interest in Shelly-Ann’s quick profit.C. Her wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty.D. Her early entrance into the sprinting world.(正确答案)D. Her early entrance into the sprinting world.14. What can we infer from Shelly-Ann’s statement underlined in Paragraph 5? [单选题] *A. She was highly rewarded for her efforts.B. She was eager to do more for her country.(正确答案)C. She became an athletic star in her country.D. She was the envy of the whole community.15. By mentioning Muhammad Ali’s words, the author intends to tell usthat______________. [单选题] *A. players should be highly inspired by coachesB. great athletes need to concentrate on patienceC. hard work is necessary in one’s achievementsD. motivation allows great athletes to be on the top(正确答案)Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on aremote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when sheheard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railwayline. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.6Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS (导航仪). She had neverdriven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but itmade no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right intothe path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When MachinesFail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, hesays, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems.And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker mighthave left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention.Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone hasstudied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with theGPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account ofthe advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. Heoffers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of thecountry. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’salso due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or somecombination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped byeconomics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces theremay be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings ofour machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably beenfooling us for just as long.16.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident? [单选题] *A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.(正确答案)17.The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______. [单选题] *A. close hitB. heavy lossC. narrow escape(正确答案)D. big mistake18. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with? [单选题] *A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.(正确答案)C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.19. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argume nt is _______. [单选题] *A. one-sided(正确答案)B. reasonableC. puzzlingD. well-based20. What is the real concern of the writer of this article? [单选题] *A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B. The relationship between human and technology.(正确答案)C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D. The human unawareness of technical problems.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (20%)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

He placed h is large hand lovingly on his treasure and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here.You can take your 70 and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose theones that I could sing.

This can help them to develop a deeper understanding of English and improve their language skills. Additionally, studying English at a higher education institution allows individuals to access resources and opportunities that may not be available to them otherwise, such as access to native English-speaking teachers and language exchange programs.Implications for Individuals。

江西2023学位英语考试真题English: One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is climate change. The steady rise in global temperatures, caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions, has already led to severe weather events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, as well as rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities. The consequences of climate change will only become more severe if action is not taken soon. Governments and individuals alike must take responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, through measures such as switching to renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, and reducing waste. It is also essential to protect and restore natural ecosystems, such as forests and wetlands, which can help to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Translated content: 目前全球面临的最大挑战之一是气候变化。

He had not legs but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ―Ape Man‖(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor saidthere was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job.

It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur momandsh. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, momandsh went horse-riding everyday. When he saw that rich people had servants, momandsh and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for momands and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.momands looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it ―Keeping up with the Joneses‖ because ―Jones‖ is a v ery common name in the Untie States. ―Keep up with the Joneses‖ came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. momandss series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses.

Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius(摄氏). The simplest way to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place them in a container inside the freezer, in some cases it is better to permit the fruit to freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from sticking to the container. This is called the ―dry pack‖ method. The second way is the ―wet pack‖ method. The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can add some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juice. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question, there are four possible answers. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneAll of us hav e had days when we simply couldn’t focus or remember anything, no matter how hard we tried. These days are usually frustrating and make us feel helpless. However, there are some simple ways to improve our memory and concentration, which can help us get through these tough times.One helpful tip is to get enough sleep. Sleep is essential for memory consolidation, and a lack of it can seriously affect our ability to concentrate and remember information. Make sure you are getting at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to stay alert and focused the next day.Another tip is to stay hydrated. Dehydration can lead to a decrease in cognitive function, making it harder to concentrate and remember things. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your brain functioning at its best.Exercise is also important for improving memory and concentration.

After the first time, there will be a pause of 30 seconds. Please try your best to write down the main idea and 4 details of the passage. Then listen again and check your answer.___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________Part Two:Reading comprehension(20%)In this part, you will read two passages. The first passage is followed by 5 questions. You are required to choose the best answer to each question according to the passage. For the second passage, you are required to answer each question with no more than 12 words.Passage oneIn the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of only three players in the National Basketball Association (NBA)listed at over seven feet. If he had played last season, however, he would have been one of 42. The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally stopped growing. Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today’s people- especially those born to families who have lived in the U.S. for many generations ——apparently reached their limit in the early 1960s. And they aren’t likely to get any taller. In the general population today, at this genetic, environmental level, we’ve pretty much gone as far as we can go, says anthropologist William Cameron Chumlea of Wright State University. In the case of NBA players, their increase in height appears to result from the increasingly common practice of recruiting players from all over the world.Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients ——notably, protein ——to feed expanding tissues. At the start of the 20th century, under-nutrition and childhood infections got in the way. But as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average, increased in height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height. Yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, average height ——5′9〞for men, 5′4〞for women ——hasn’t really changed since 1960. Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. There are some real constraints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individual organism, says anthropologist William Leonard of Northwestern University.Genetic maximums can change, but don’t expect this to happen soon. Claire C. Gordon, senior anthropologist at the Army Research Center in Natick, Mass, ensures that 90 percent of the uniforms and workstations fit recruits without alteration. She says that, unlike those for basketball, the length of military uniforms has not changed for some time. And if you need to predict human height in the near future to design a piece of equipment, Gordon says that by and large, you could use today’s data and feel fairly confident. (441w)Questions:16. Wilt Chamberlain is cited as an example to[A] illustrate the change of height of NBA players.[B] show the popularity of NBA players in the U.S..[C] compare different generations of NBA players.[D] assess the achievements of famous NBA players.17.

On which of the following statements would the author most probably agree?[A] Non-Americans add to the average height of the nation.[B] Human height is conditioned by the upright posture.[C] Americans are the tallest on average in the world.[D] Larger babies tend to become taller in adulthood.19. We learn from the last paragraph that in the near future[A] the garment industry will reconsider the uniform size.[B] the design of military uniforms will remain unchanged.[C] genetic testing will be employed in selecting sportsmen.[D] the existing data of human height will still be applicable.20. The text intends to tell us that[A] the change of human height follows a cyclic pattern.[B] human height is becoming even more predictable.[C] Americans have reached their genetic growth limit.[D] the genetic pattern of Americans has altered.Passage Two (10’)With most of Wal-Mart's workers earning less than $19,000 a year, a number of community groups and lawmakers have recently teamed up with labor unions in mounting an intensive campaign aimed at prodding Wal-Mart into paying its 1.3 million employees higher wages.A new group of Wal-Mart critics ran a full-page advertisement on April 20 contending that the company's low pay had forced tens of thousands of its workers to resort to food stamps and Medicaid, costing taxpayers billions of dollars. On April 26, as part of a campaign called "Love Mom, Not Wal-Mart," five members of Congress joined women's advocates and labor leaders to assail the company for not paying its female employees more.And in a book to be published this fall, a group of scholars will argue that Wal-Mart Stores, having replaced General Motors as the nation's largest company, has an obligation to treat its employees better.Among workers at Wal-Mart's 3,700 stores across the United States, the debate is also heating up.Frances Browning, for example, once earned $15 a hour, but now at Wal-Mart, where she is a cashier in Roswell, Ga., she is paid $9.43. She says she is happy to have the job."I was unemployed for two and a half years before I found my job at Wal-Mart," Ms. Browning, 57, said. "Like everybody else I'd love to make a lot more, but I have to be realistic."But Jason Mrkwa, 27, a high school graduate who stocks frozen food at a Wal-Mart in Independence, Kan., maintains that he is underpaid. "I make $8.53, even though every one of my evaluations has been above standard," Mr. Mrkwa said. "You can't really live on this."Labor groups and their allies are focusing on Wal-Mart because they say that the campaign will not just benefit its workers but also reduce the existing pressure on unionized competitors to reduce their own wages and benefits."Wal-Mart should pay people at a minimum enough to go above the U.S. poverty line," said Andrew Grossman, executive director of Wal-Mart Watch, the coalition of community, environmental and labor groups running the series of ads criticizing Wal-Mart. "A company this big and this wealthy has the ability to pay higher wages."H. Lee Scott Jr., Wal-Mart's chief executive, vigorously defends his company, arguing that wages are primarily determined by market forces and that Wal-Mart pays more than most retailers and provides better opportunities for advancement. "If people tell you that Wal-Mart is leading the so-called 'race to the bottom' in terms of job quality or pay, they're not only wrong, they're dead wrong," he said to journalists at a company-sponsored conference here in April, the first time Wal-Mart has gone out of its way to invite a number of reporters to its headquarters to hear its views. "We are instead creating a better workplace with more opportunity and more benefits than have been available in retail." Mr. Scott contends that the critics, including competitors, are defenders of an outdated status quo, intent on upholding a retailing system full of inefficiency and inflated prices. He said that if Wal-Mart were as greedy as its detractors say, it would never have attracted 8,000 job applicants for 525 places at a new store in Glendale, Ariz., or 3,000 applicants for 300 jobs in outlying Los Angeles.Michael T. Duke, chief of the company's stores division, said, "Wal-Mart is a very good place to work for our associates, and every day we make it even better."Mr. Mrkwa, the food stocker, does not see it that way. With pay that brings him about $20,000 a year, he said he could not afford a decent apartment or a vehicle better than his 1991 Dodge Dakota. "I don't see why Wal-Mart can't pay more," Mr. Mrkwa said. "Unfortunately, in the market we live in there just aren't many jobs available."Wal-Mart says its full-time workers average $9.68 an hour, and with many of them working 35 hours a week, their annual pay comes to around $17,600. That is below the $19,157 poverty line for a family of four, but above the $15,219 line for a family of three.Wal-Mart critics often note that corporations like Ford and G.M. led a race to the top, providing high wages and generous benefits that other companies emulated. Theyask why Wal-Mart, with some $10 billion in profit on about $288 billion in revenue last year, cannot act similarly."Henry Ford made sure he paid his workers enough so that they could afford to buy his cars," said William McDonough, executive vice president of the United Food and Commercial Workers union. "Wal-Mart is doing the polar opposite of Henry Ford. Wal-Mart brags about how its low prices help poor Americans, but its low wages are helping increase the number of Americans in poverty."Mr. Scott argues that retailers, with narrow profit margins, face a different competitive situation and cannot afford to be as generous to their workers as automakers and other capital-intensive companies."Some well-meaning critics," he said, "believe that Wal-Mart, because of our size, should play the role that General Motors played after World War II, and that is to establish the post-world-war middle class that the country is so proud of. The facts are that retailing doesn't perform that role in the economy as G.M. does or did. Retailing doesn't perform that role in any country in the world."Many of those assailing Wal-Mart argue that the company can, and should, pay its workers at least $2 more an hour and add $1 or $2 an hour beyond that to improve its health benefits. A Harvard Business School study found that Wal-Mart paid $3,500 a year for each employee for health care, while the typical American corporation paid $5,600. (961w)Questions:21. What is the main idea of the passage you have just read?22. A campaign called "Love Mom, Not Wal-Mart," blamed Wal-Mart for________.23. What other companies are also mentioned when talking about Wal-Mart in the passage?24. The tone of this passage can be described as________.25. The word “assailing” might mean________.Part Three:Translation(20%)In this part, you are required to translate 1 short passages from English into Chinese (10 points) and 1 passages from Chinese into English.(10points)Passage 126. What do New York City and Las Vegas have in common? According to a recent survey, they're both among the hippest places in the world. In fact, the Big Apple and Sin City are the two coolest cities in the US, tied for the No. 1 spot in annual measure of America's Coolest Cities. New York has topped the list of coolest cities for three years running --- it's sharing the top spot for the very first time. The fact that it attracts 47 million visitors annually shows that Americans regard the metro highly. New York isn't only the country's largest city; it's the one with the most restaurants, museums, sports venues, bars and theaters. Few could deny that it generates buzz around the globe.
