Health experts regularly criticize themseverely for selling food that makes people fat. Critics even complain that McDonald's, whose logo symbolizes calorie excess, should not have been allowed to sponsor the W orld Cup. The sear things fast-food firms have learnt to cope with, but not perhaps for much longer. The burger business faces more pressure from regulators at a time when it is already adapting strategies in response to shifts in the global economy.B) Fast food was once thought to be recession-proof. When consumers need to cut spending,the logic goes cheap meals like Big Macs and Whoppers become even more attractive.Such "trading down” proved true for much of the latest recession, when fast-food companies picked up customers who could no longer afford to eat at casual restaurants.Traffic was boosted in America, the home of fast food, with discounts and promotions, such as $1 menus and cheap combination meals.C) As a result, fast-food chains have weathered the recession better than their moreexpensive competitors. In 2009 sales at full-service restaurants in America fell by more than 6%, but total sales remained about the same at fast-food chains. In some markets, such as Japan, France and Britain, total spending on fast food increased. Same-store sales in America at McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food company, did not decline throughout the downturn. Panera Bread, an American fast-food chain known for its fresh ingredients, performed well, too, because it offers higher-quality food at lower prices than restaurants.D) But not all fast-food companies have been as fortunate. Many, such as Burger King, haveseen sales fall. In a severe recession, while some people trade down to fast food, many others eat at home more frequently to save money. David Palmer, an analyst at UBS, a bank, says smaller fast- food chains in America, such as Jack in the Box and Carl's Jr., have been hit particularly hard in this downturn because they are competing with theglobal giant McDonald's, which increased spending on advertising by more than 7% last year as others cut back.E) Some fast-food companies also sacrificed their own profits by trying to give customersbetter value. During the recession companies set prices low, hoping that once they had tempted customers through the door they would be persuaded to order more expensive items. But in many cases that strategy did not work. Last year Burger King franchisees (特许经营人)sued (起诉)the company over its double-cheeseburger promotion, claiming it was unfair for them to be repaired to sell these for $1 when they cost$1.10 to make. In May a judge ruled in favour of Burger King. Nevertheless, the company may still be cursing its decision to promote cheap choices over more expensive ones because items on its "value menu" now account for around 20% of all sales, up from 12% last October.F) Analysts expect the fast-food industry to grow modestly this year. But the downturn ismaking companies rethink their strategies. Many are now introducing higher-priced items to entice (引诱)consumers away from $1 specials.KFC, a division of Y um! Brands, which also owns Taco Belland Pizza Hut, has launched a chicken sandwich that costs around $5.And in May Burger King introduced barbecue (烧烤)pork ribs at $7 for eight.G) Companies are also trying to get customers to buy new and more items, including drinks.McDonald's started selling better coffee as a challenge to Starbucks. Its "Mc Cafe" line now accounts for an estimated 6% of sales in America. Starbucks has sold rights to its Seattle's Best coffee brand to Burger King, which will start selling it later this year.H) As fast-food companies shift from "super size" to "more buys", they need to keepcustomer traffic high throughout the day. Many see breakfast as a big opportunity, and not just for fatty food. McDonald's will start selling porridge (粥)in America next year.Breakfast has the potential to be very profitable, says Sara Senator of Bernstein, a research firm, because the margins can be high. Fast-food companies are also adding midday and late-night snacks, such as blended drinks and wraps. The idea is that by having a greater range of things on the menu, "we can sell to consumer’s products they want all day," says Rick Carucci., the chief financial officer of Y um Brands.I) But what about those growing waistlines? So far, fast-food firms have cleverly avoidedgovernment regulation. By providing healthy options, like salads and low-calorie sandwiches, they have at least given the impression of doing something about helping to fight obesity (肥胖症).These offerings are not necessarily loss-leaders, as they broadenthe appeal of outlets to groups of dinners that include some people who don't want to eata burger. But customers cannot be forced to order salads instead of fries.J) In the future, simply offering a healthy option may not be good enough."Every packaged-food and restaurant company I know is concerned about regulation right now,"says Mr. Palmer of UBS. America's health-reform bill, which Congress passed this year, requires restaurant chains with 20 or more outlets to put the calorie-content of items they serve on the menu. A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which tracked the effects on Starbucks of a similar calorie-posting law in New Y ork City in 2007, found that the average calorie-count per transaction fell 6% and revenue increased 3% at Starbucks stores where a Dunldn Donuts outlet was nearby--a sign, it is said, that menu-labelling could favour chains that have more healthy offerings.K) In order to avoid other legislation in America and elsewhere, fast-food companies will have to continue innovating (创新).W alt Riker of McDonald's claims the change it has made in its menu means it offers more healthy items than it did a few years ago."W e probably sell more vegetables, more milk, more salads, more apples than any restaurant business in the world," he says. But the recent proposal by a county in California to ban McDonald's from including toys in its high-calorie "Happy Meals", because legislators believe it attracts children to unhealthy food, suggests there is a lot more left to do.1. A newly-passed law asks big fast-food chains to specify the calorie count of what they serve on the menu.2. Fast-food firms may not be able to cope with pressures from food regulation in the near future.3. Burger King will start to sell Seattle's Best coffee to increase sales.4. Some fast-food firms provide healthy food to give the impression they are helping to tackle the obesity problem.5. During the recession, many customers turned to fast food to save money.6. Many people eat out less often to save money in times of recession.7. During the recession, Burger King's promotional strategy of offering low-priced items often proved ineffective.8. Fast-food restaurants can make a lot of money by selling breakfast.9. Many fast-food companies now expect to increase their revenue by introducing higher-priced items.10. Some people propose laws be made to stop McDonald's from attaching toys to its foodspecials for children.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A., B), C.andD ).Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.If you think a high-factor sunscreen (防晒霜)keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong.Research in this week's Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas(黑瘤)and delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them.Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers.Y ou have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one.Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun.Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer.A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed.A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1,101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats,long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection.This study said other forms of sun protection not sunscreen seemed most beneficial.The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable.But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.Many people also don't use sunscreen properly applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long.It is sunburn that is most worrying recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign.So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on (抹上)sunscreen and slap on a hat.21. What is people's common expectation of a high-factor sunscreen?A. It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.B. It will protect them from sunburn.C. It will keep their skin smooth and fair.D. It will work for people of any skin color.22. What does the research in Nature say about a high-factor sunscreen?A. It is ineffective in preventing melanomas.B. It is ineffective in case of intense sunlight.C. It is ineffective with long-term exposure.D. It is ineffective for people with fair skin.23. What do we learn from the 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people?A. Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures.B. High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen.C. Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.24. What does the author say about the second Australian study?A. It misleads people to rely on sunscreen for protection.B. It helps people to select the most effective sunscreen.C. It is not based on direct observation of the subjects.D. It confirms the results of the first Australian study.25. What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma rates?A. Using both covering up and sunscreen.B. Staying in the shade whenever possible.C. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62 -74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with32% of men with only a high-school certificate.This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated well-off and the unskilled poor.Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled.The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound.The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before.Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion.The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (长寿)translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled.Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer.The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人)are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.Policy is partly responsible.Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early.Rising life expectancy (预期寿命), combined with the replacement of generous defined-benefit pension plans with less generous defined-contribution ones, means that even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement.But the changing nature of work also plays a big role.Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation.Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management know how to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.26. What is happening in the workforce in rich countries?A. Y ounger people are replacing the elderly.B. W ell-educated people tend to work longer.C. Unemployment rates are rising year after year.D. People with no college degree do not easily find work.27. What has helped deepen the divide between the well-off and the poor?A. Longer life expectancies.B. A rapid technological advance.C. Profound changes in the workforce.D. A growing number of the well-educated.28. What do many observers predict in view of the experience of the 20th century?A. Economic growth will slow down.B. Government budgets will increase.C. More people will try to pursue higher education.D. There will be more competition in the job market.29. What is the result of policy changes in European countries?A. Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.B. More people have to receive in-service training.C. Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.D. People may be able to enjoy generous defined-benefits from pension plans.30. What is characteristic of work in the 21st century?A. Computers will do more complicated work.B. More will be taken by the educated young.C. Most jobs to be done will be the creative ones.D. Skills are highly valued regardless of age.Part III Translation ( 20 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.Y ou should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。

According to most calculations, 21 most of the 1945-1970 period the United States had a standard of living well 22 Europe’s and many times above the world 23 . Yet 24 about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need proceed more from the United States than from countries with one-fortieth of their living standard. An annual per capita income of eight dollars is 25 of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America.It would seem strange to these people 26 they only aware of the fact that American radicals demand a 27 from an American 28 to the far corners of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent raising the standard of living of 29 Americans. What this last point suggests is not so much that human 30 are never to be satisfied though this is doubtlessly true, and the American suburbanite 31 of his second car and his color TV suffers just as 32 as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the 33 of contemporary breach of social 34 —the emancipation of the individual self.People have learned to consider any 35 to personalfulfillment an 36 insult. They have greatly expanded the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the 37 of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been 38 —misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy 39 telling.

Uniforms are demeaning to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of the whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a large, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual oneself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence.Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, eliminates all envy and competition in a matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, eat the same type of food. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly.Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Salespersons would be superfluous as well: why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. Our entire information and entertainment industries would founder.41、The author’s viewpoint on uniforms can best be described as __________.A. practicalB. hystericalC. radicalD. critical42、Judged from its style, this passage might be found in __________.A. a children’s comics bookB. an editorial in a paperC. a sociology textbookD. a political platform43、It can be inferred that the author believes that __________.A. individuals have no self-worth when they become part of an organizationB. individuals are more important than organizationsC. individuals are not so important as organizationsD. individuals are the same important as organizations44、The author brings in the example of a parent striving to make life better for his children to make the point that __________.A. parents have responsibilities for their childrenB. uniforms would be less expensive than clothing for childrenC. uniforms cause dissension between parents and childrenD. individual motivation would be destroyed by uniforms(本题分值：1.5分)【正确答案】D45、The last word of the passage "founder" probably means __________.A. collapseB. shrinkC. disappearD. establishAlthough many governments try to convince their respective subjects that atomic energy is an acceptable alternative _1__ the burning of fossil fuels,no government has taken the least trouble to explain the dangers.Maybe they are __2_ them.__3_ the reason,the public must learn by experience,even though this _4__ may be catastrophic.While it is true that nuclear reactors do not produce visible smoke,it is certainly not __5_ that they do not pollute.And the pollution they produce is much more insidious precisely because it is __6_.__7_ inconvenient it may be for governments to publish all the facts,they have no moral excuse for not doing so,__8_ they think they are acting in our best interest.At least some of the facts are known,even though they are not widely reported.Nuclear reactors produce radioactive water and gases in vast _9__.What __10_ all this waste?It is __11_ concrete tanks and stored on tank farms.It is __12_ in disused salt mines.It is run into fractured rock.It is buried.It is __13_ about in special trains.Buteven when dumped,it has to be kept __14_ by sprinklers to stop it from boiling.And the contents of the tanks are,of course,extremely corrosive.The efforts of a fracture in the tank or a failure of the cooling system would be _15__.While every effort is made to _16__ that radioactive wastes do not excape into the sea or _17__ supplies of drinking water,such a leakage would be too horrible __18_ contemplate.But even then ,governments would presumably continue to belittle the hazards.It seems that __19_ governments can get away with not telling the truth,they will continue to keep silent.Nevertheless the people _20__ to know the full facts.Do you know what happens to the radioactive waste in your country?No?Well—find out!1) A for B with C to D instead of2) A unaware of B aware of C unaware from D aware from3) A however B whatever C whenever D wherever4) A experiment B government C danger D experience6) A visible B invisible C disvisible D unvisible5) A unture B unreal C true D distrue7) A however B whatever C whenever D wherever8) A even B if even C if D even if9) A numbers B quality C quantities D degree10) A happens to B happen to C happened to D happening to11) A put down B put into C put up D puto onto12) A stored B storing C being stored D to be stored13) A transporting B transport C being transported D transported14) A hot B cooled C cool D to cool15) A disaster B danger C a disaster D disastrous16) A reassure B ensure C convince D assure17) A in front of B behind C forward D into18) A against B that C to D too下载文档。

It is cruising at an incredible 66,600 milesper hour.It’s not a giant, Star Wars mother ship. It’s spaceship Earth, the home ofover four billion people. This water coated spaceship has been traveling throughthe universe for about five billion years. Only within the past 25 years, however,have some of its passengers broken free of Earth’s gravityBut 25 years from now, many people, including you, might live in an orbitingspace station 200 miles above the Earth.Space CitiesScientists have already designed special space factories. These factories will take advantage of the absence of gravity (zero gravity) to produce everything from life saving drugs to perfect ball bearings.Other scientists have designed space colonies, complete with farms, schools,and artificial day and night. Hundreds, or even thousands, of people will live, work,play—even go toschool, far above the Earth.Our conquest of space, of course, has already begun. We have explored part of the Moon, sent robot spaceships onto the surface of Venus and Mars, and aimed space probes past the planets of Jupiter and Saturn.Last June, one robot ship, Pioneer 10, left our solar system forever. Andastronauts from both the Soviet Union and the United States have lived in spacestations.The conquest of space, without question, is one of the greatest adventures human beings have ever set out on. But it may be more than a great adventure. Some scientiststhink the conquest of space may be a necessity for survival of the human species.We are tearing up more and more of the Earth to get raw materials for industry.And we are polluting the air and water as we manufacture products that we need or want. Almost everything that seems to make our lives more comfortable, and fromelectricity to pesticides, uses up or alters a piece of our planet’s natural environment.Why Go into Space?Yet our solar system is full of resources. The moon is chockfull of valuable metals. So are the asteroids, the small, rocky, planet like bodies orbiting the sun most of them between Mars and Jupiter. These metals, if we can get them, could be used to build factories and space stations.Also, in space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy. There is plenty of solar energy to be turned into electricity for manufacturing, for creating comfortable living conditions.Getting away from Earth has other advantages, too. Modern industry uses manykinds of metal alloys (mixtures of metal thatare better for certain purposes thanpure metals). Yet some metal alloys either can’t be made or are very expensive to make on Earth because of gravity. For instance, certain metals don’t mix well onEarth. But in zero gravity, molten (hot, liquid) metals mix more evenly. This is because there is no gravity to pull the heavier metals down, while the lighter ones float on top.From space, too, we can look down on the Earth and study the atmosphere, its weather, and the effects of air pollution.And because there is no strong gravity to break free from, our future homes away from Earth will be convenient starting points for travel to distant planets.But, while going into space might solve some problems, outer space can also be a dangerous place. For example, in outer space, we have to protect ourselves from the dangers of ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Ultraviolet light from the sun can give us bad sunburns right here on Earth. Yet, Earth’s atmosphere screens out most of that harmful radiation. Cosmic rays are tiny high energy particles from outer space. Again, the Earth shields us from most of them.At Home in Space?But in space, without special protection, we would be exposed to much stronger radiation from ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Also, in the zero gravity of outer space, our bones will lose calcium and become weaker. This will be more of a problem the longer people stay out in space. Doctors are looking for a way to keep our bones from losing calcium in outer space. And a small spaceship just might “drive you batty” after a while. But even on a short trip in outer space, you might not feelas well as you’d like to. Space travel could make you seasick!Yet, these risks won’t keep people from going into space. Eventually, an Earth like environment will be built in space. And they will be populated by people with many different interests: medicine, construction, farming, teaching, mining, and so on.The next hundred years will be filled with other worldly adventures, exciting scientific discoveries, and danger, as humans leave Earth—perhaps forever.Aging in SpaceSuppose a space traveler is moving at a velocity of 186,200 miles per second.For every hour that passes for him, 30 hours pass on Earth. If he travels for a year in this fashion (having accelerated instantaneously) and then turns around and comes back at this speed (having turned around instantaneously), he will find that while he has seemed to himself to have traveled two years, the men on Earth would claim he had been absent for 30 years.Suppose the space traveler had left at the age of 30, leaving behind a twin brother also aged 30. When he returned he would be 32, but his stay at home twinbrother would be 60. That is why the “clock paradox”, is sometimes called the “twin paradox”.Of course it takes quite a long while to accelerate to a high speed, and a long while to make a turn and head back again, so conditions aren’t quite as clear cut as just described.1.The giant, spherical spaceship mentioned in the passage is.［A］the outer space［B］a man made spaceship［C］the planet Earth［D］the Star Wars mothe ship2.Some persons have traveled into outer space after conquering within the past 25years.［A］the universe［B］Earth’s gravity［C］the earth［D］outer space3.We have explored or sent robot spaceships to the following space except.［A］the moon［B］Venus［C］Jupiter［D］Mars4.Why is the conquest of space more than a great adventure?［A］Because it is full of challenges for human beings.［B］Because it may be necessary for human beings to survive.［C］Because it is the greatest adventure in human history.［D］Because it is more exciting than any other adventures.5.The moon and the asteroids are alike with respect to their .［A］size and moving ways［B］comfortable living conditions［C］rich and valuable metals［D］solar energy6.Why can’t ultraviolet light scorch our skin on Earth as seriously as it does in space places?［A］Because the Earth’s atmosphere can make ultraviolet light less harmful.［B］Because ultraviolet can’t reach the Earth at all.［C］Because the Earth is far away from those planets radiating ultraviolet light.［D］Because other space places is near from those planets radiating ultravioletlight.7.In spite of many risks, scientists will finally build in space suitable for humans to live.［A］an environment without ultraviolet light［B］a lot of homes［C］an Earth like environment［D］an environment with atmosphere8.The reason some metal alloys can’t be made on Earth is that the heavier metals together with the lighter ones.9.In space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy.

They might be surprised to learn that not long ago therapists(治疗专家)were fighting to keep her from suffering from autism(孤独症)–a brain disorder that afflicts one in100children,typically leaving them with lifelong difficulties in communicating,socializing and carrying out many basic tasks.Ashdod was lucky;when she was10 months old,her parents became alarmed that she had little interest in looking them in the wyes,wating and moving from her back,and took her to the Mifne Center in Rosh Pinna,Israel,a clinic that focuses on children5 months and older who show early warning signs of autism.The results of the Mifne treatment were shocking, recalls the girl’s mother,Tikva.“Now she goes to a regular school where she is the same sort of active,funny, normal child as anyone wlse,”she says.[B]Despite a big jump in autism awareness in the past decade,parents,schools and schools and doctors still frequently ignore warning signs in very young children,These can be difficult to detect:a child never points at things,shows more interest in objects than people,has delayed speech and develops a fascination with toys turning around.Many experts regard these symptoms as harmless habits that kids will outgrow.New research and experience in some autism clinics,however,suggests that staring treatment by age2is critical to mitigating and in some cases entirely avoiding the disorder.[C]That’s because unlike the brain of an adult or even an older child,a12-or18-month-oid’s brain is,in a sense,highly reprogrammable—that is,it responds well to treatments designed to permanently change basic patterns of thought and behavior.“All the evidence we have suggests that outcomes tor these children will be better with an earlier diagnosis(诊断)，before they reach18months,if possible,”says Christopher Gillberg,a professor at Gothenburg University in Sweden.[D]Although there are currently no effective treatments for autism symptoms in older children or adults,the prospects are turning out to be entirely different for very young children who get prompt treatment.Psychologists have had remarkable success with behavioral therapy,which involves therapists working intensively with children to get them to do tasks they’re having difficulty with.The Mifne Center in Israel applies its own form of intensive therapy,typically lasting about two weeks and focusing on getting the child to make contact with parents and to eat and move normally.Some200children have been through the program;about three quarters have remained free of any signs of autism or any other significant developmental disorder,according to Mifne founder and director Hanna Alonim.“If we can get them here as babies,close to100percent won’t develop autism,”she says.“If we don’t see them until they’re2,it’s a different story.”To support Mifne’s findings with more-formal research, doctors at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center have begun screening and videotaping infants thought to be at risk of pre-autism before the Mifne treatment.[E]Having a treatment choice for infants raises the hard issue of diagnosis.Autism can be tricky to recognize—it encompasses any or all of a broad range of symptoms,including difficulty with social interactions, language,motor skills and taking in sensory information,as well as repetitive behaviors,eating problems and in some cases unusually high or low levels of activity.A study of nearly10,000children in Bergen,Norway, indicated that the number of children who showed“pronounced autistic features”was about five times higher than the number who qualified for a formal diagnosis of autism.[F]Even children who exhibit only partial or mild versions of autism symptoms are at risk of ending up with lifelong challenges,say researchers,and would benefit from autism therapies.But tagging more very young children as candidates for autism therapy creates another problem.The cost of behavioral therapy is eye-opening--applied behavior analysis,an intensive treatment that requires15-to-25hours of sessions a week, costs about$30,000a year,and even a modest program typically runs about$10,000a year.That’s one reason studies estimate that less than one in10very young children with a diagnosis of autism get25hours a week of therapy.[G]Health-care systems are not up to this task.In the United States,where health insurance rarely covers such treatments,the chances of having the government pay for therapy varies wildly from state to state.Children don’t necessarily fare much better under national health care.The United Kingdom pays for treatment—but often only after the parents hire a lawyer and win their case at a regional“tribunal”,where more often than not communities will fight to force the parents to settle for the few hours a week of therapy offered in a local special-education program.In Italy,toddlers with disorders who love near large cities in the north-central part of the country can get the attention of a team of therapists,but those in the southern,rural areas tend to get few urence Robel, a child psychiatrist and autism researcher at the Necker Children’s Hospital in Paris,notes that France keep a bias against behavioral therapy,which critics compare to training a dog or programming a robot.“Away from Paris,”she says,“children are lucky to receive much treatment at all.”[H]Experts insist that governments are being penny-wise and pound-foolish in refusing to pony(付清)up for intensive therapy to infants and toddlers who show early signs of a developmental disorder.Simple,brief screening tests are now designed to flag children at risk as early as18months.Earlier diagnosis might be possible by measuring brain activity and recognizing patterns that are unique to autism.Researchers at the Baby Lab in Uppsala University in Sweden are looking for these patterns by placing dozens of soft-foam sensors on infant’s heads.[I]The benefits of early treatment are likely to grow in coming years as new research into developmental disorders continues to pay off.36.In Italy,the chances for young children to receive services of a team of autism therapists vary between thenorth-central part of the country and the southern,rural areas.37.In detecting the warning signs of autism in young children,parents,schools and doctors now haven’t donesufficiently on it.38.Autism is not easy to recognize because it covers a wide range of symptoms.39.It is very important to treat a child with autism by age of two,because children at that age respond well tothe related treatment.40.According to the text,children who get autism may suffer from troubles in communicating.41.It is an effective treatment for older children with signs of autism to ask them to do tasks which are difficultfor them.42.According to experts,those governments are extremely foolish if they refuse to support the intensive therapyto young children showing early signs of a developmental disorder.43.Most very young children with a diagnosis of autism do not have an intensive treatment,because it’s tooexpensive to receive the intensive treatment.44.About150children have recovered from signs of autism in the Mifne Center.45.In the United States,different state governments pay differently for autism therapy because health insurancerarely covers such treatments.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.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 mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.Students in Washington will return to classrooms this month to begin a new school year.But at least50%of their teachers will not return with st month,the District of Columbia public schools told206teachers that they are not good enough to stay.The school system dismissed75teachers last year.It was the first year of a new teacher rating system.Experts say such large numbers of dismissals are rare in American schools.But in Washington the rating system is not governed by the labor contract with the teachers union.So school officials have more freedom.The system is called IMPACT.Teachers are observed in the classroom five times a year for at least thirty minutes each time.They are also judged by student test scores.Administrators rated65of the206teachers as“ineffective”.The others lost their jobs because they were rated“minimally effective”for a second year.The National Council on Teacher Quality is a research group that works to increase the number of effective teachers.Emily Cohen,a policy director there,says the council supports the IMPACT system.“This is an evaluation instrument that is finally able to capture who is highly effective and who is ineffective and who could be doing better and could use some assistance.Most evaluation instruments in the country do not capture teacher performance—all teachers are rated satisfactory.”Teachers with the highest rating can receive a performance bonus of up to twenty-five thousand dollars.In addition,they can receive a pay increase.Some Washington teachers say their ratings depend too heavily on test scores.For some teachers,half of their rating is based on how well their students do.But Emily Cohen says test scores are important.“Testing is the most objective data that we have on teacher performance.The District also is looking at other things,using master educators to evaluate teachers.So it’s not just looking at student test performance,it is using other sources of data.”Michelle Rhee created the IMPACT system.She gained national attention for her aggressive reform efforts when she led the troubled school system in the nation’s capital.She left last year and her deputy took her place.The Washington Teachers Union says IMPACT unfairly hurts teachers who work in schools with high rates of poverty.Most of the teachers with the highest rating work in schools with lower poverty rates.46.Why can schools in Washington dismiss so many teachers?A)Because those teachers did not perform well in the classroom.B)Because they must be strict in the first year of the new rating system.C)Because those teachers were rated“minimally effective”for a second year.D)Because they are not restricted by the teachers union’s labor contract.47.Why dies the National Council support the IMPACT system?A.Because the system can provide teachers a large amount of bonus.B)Because the system can distinguish good teachers from bad ones.C)Because the system has successfully dismissed ineffective teachers.D)Because the system has increased the number of effective teachers.48.Some Washington teachers have different opinions with Emily Cohen on whether______.A)test scores should play such an important role in their ratingsB)teachers with the lowest rating should stay at schoolC)the students should perform well in the rating systemD)the District should use master educators to evaluate teachers49.What can we learn about Michelle Rhee?A)She led the school system falling into the biggest trouble it ever met.B)She left her work because she had a better offer in the nation’s capital.C)She did not perform as well as her deputy in the working ability.D)She was noted for her efforts in changing the chaotic school system.50.The Washington Teachers Union’s attitude towards the IMPACT system is______.A)supportive B)unclearC)optimistic D)criticalPassage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.More than40years ago,U.S.Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said that while it was difficult to define pornography(色情文学)，“I know it when I see it.”The etiquette(礼仪)police who are trying to keep up with the rapidly evolving world of mobile devices and their effect on the workplace probably would say the same.They may not be able to define what is considered bad manners,but they know the terrible behavior when they see an employee’s email,text,blog entry,or Facebook posting.It appears others do,too.A recent Intel survey found that9of10Americans report they’ve seen others misuse technology;75%agree that mobile etiquette is worse than it was a year ago.The results don’t surprise Lisa Grotts,a reputed etiquette consultant.“Welcome to the new world,”she says.“Someday a sociologist is going to have a study on how our rules have changed because of technology and online communication.”Because technological changes are so constant,she thinks it’s inevitable that some social and professional misbehaviors will be made.The Intel study found that we’re often aware of our own poor behavior.Almost1in5respondents report they know they’re being rude but do it because everyone else does.So it’s a little difficult to complain about a cubicle(小隔间)mate for talking too loudly on a cellphone when you’ve been guilty of doing the same thing—or something equally annoying.Adding to the problem:What may be OK in your social circles could be considered annoying in professional ones.Still,the Intel study found that it’s worth making an effort to adjust your behavior when using your iPhone, BlackBerry or other mobile device if you want to keep the peace in your office and not bother the boss.Of those participating in the survey,65%say they get angry at those who are disrespectful toward others with tech use.So,even though your cubicle mate talks loudly on her cellphone or texts her boyfriend constantly,it doesn’t mean you should do the same thing Instead,taking the time to find a private place to have a private conversation may impress colleagues and your manager with your professionalism.51.We can learn from the passage that the etiquette police________.A)can not find proper words to describe bad mannersB)want to know more about mobile devicesC)have known about Justice Potter Stewart for many yearsD)agree with the definition of bad manners by Potter Stewart52.According to a recent Intel survey,we can learn that technology misuse________.A)is totally ignored

about others’opinion about them.C)Because they want to attract other people’s attention.D)Because they see others do the same thing as they do.55.What the author may suggest us do about tech use?A)Get

Deborah Kenny"s "Born to Rise" Tells Story of HarlemVillage Academies A) Deborah Kenny, CEO of the Harlem Village Academies, is frustrated with the nation"s current education system. Unlike most, though, she decided to do something about it. Part declaration part record, her book Born to Rise writes down herjourney toward creating and running her own system of progressive charter schools in Harlem in New Y ork City.What is your educational philosophy? B) We want our students to receive the same high-quality education as students who are privileged to attend the best private schools in the country. Personally, I believea progressive education is superior as long as it"sdelivered by really smart, talented teachers who knowhow to execute well. It"s a sophisticated approach that really only works well in the hands of a really sophisticated educator. We"re dealing with a little bit of a challenge because students enter this school from the regular public system. And when they enter in fifth grade, they"re not yet well-trained in the basics reading, writing, and math--which means that we haveto catch them up on basic math skills, on the "basicsof writing. And many of them come in at a kindergarten, first, second-grade level in reading. So we have toaccelerate their mastery of the basics, but we rejectthe idea that if you do that you can"t teach that ata high level. We push ourselves constantly to thinkabout how we can make sure that our students will catch up while we teach at the highest possible level. Itmeans asking difficult, delicate questions, notaccepting an answer that is not backed up by evidence,the kinds of things that you would expect to see in the best private schools. We aim for a high level in richdiscussions where the students are asked to analyze a challenging text and where the teacher does not accept just any answer simply because the student is behaving. What makes the Harlem Village Academies different?C) First of all, I have to say what we have in commonwith other charter schools because we have learned somuch from them: creating an expectation that all students will attend college, naming classrooms aftercolleges, the longer school day, the longer school year.I feel it"s important to give credit where credit isdue because I learned from them. In those early yearswhen I opened the school, most of these other schoolsbad been around for seven years, ten years, some of them even longer. D ) As far as what makes us different, I"ll tell you what the teachers say: teachers tell usthat the level of professionalism and passion for teaching at a high level and teaching above the test,not to the test, and working in an environment, where everybody is trusted to do their job and continuallylearning--there"s this incredible culture of learning. There"s this incredible workplace culture where theadults are continually becoming better and learningmore about how to become a better lead her. The teachers get to make all of the decisions "about their own professional development rather than being enforced to at tend the training. They are treated like professional-grade" doctors and lawyers at the. Highest level. They actually make the decisions notonly about what books to use and what teaehing methed,but even about what their own professional development Ioukslike.There"s a very clear set of standards farwhat the students need to know and be "able to do atthe end of each year and quarter, and we hold people accountable for that end goal. But we give them complete freedom to decide how they"re going to achieve it, which is how all professionals are treated. Unfortunately,it"s not how most teachers are treated inthis country. Most teachers are treated like factory workers, wherethere"s a hig set ofrules on how they have to do everything. What does the curriculum look like at Harlem Village Academy schools? E) It looks likea classic liberal-arts curriculum, where math, reading, and writing are not the only subjects taught. Even ifthe state focuses its testing on those things, we donot let the state dictate our curriculum. We are interested in a rich curriculum that includes art andmusic and seience and social studies and a wide varietyof electives, and character education is integratedthroughout. How do you address the criticismspeople have regarding charter schools? F) I"d say that the .main criticisms are stemming from the factthat in a charter system the teachers are not unionized, and they"re treated as professionals instead of as manual laborers. The charter movement is challengingthe current situation, it"s eoming along and saying we used to completely change the underlying premiere ( 前提) of how we go about public education. Parents should be able to choose the scherzi. We should give power toall parents, regardless of socioeonomie level, to choose where they send their child, and that createsmarket competition: if you have an amazing school with caring teachers and great results, parents are goingto ~ant to choose that school. The charter movement isputting the needs of children first anti is holdingteachers accountable. It ehalleuges the notion of tenure (终身教职), where there"s no accountability atall. What"s next for you and the Harlem Village Academies? G) We are going to triple (增至三倍) in size in the next twn years. We will have a full K-12 system. We"re starting two new elementary schools, we will be serving 2,000 children, but we are not eager to grow super-big. We want to use the platform of whatwe" re learned and the results that we"ve produced--that ant teachers have produced--to have anational influence on policy and on teaching methods.The laws that govern how school srun constrain the ability of the printcipal to run the school well. They"re not allowed to build a team. And building a team where teachers are trusted, happy and cooperative isreally the foundation for an excellent school. So wewant to find a way to get our message out nationallyand continue to be part of the movement. 36. In the Harlem Village Academies. teachers can decide themselves how they are going to achieve the teaching objectives. 37. The charter movement challengesthe tenure system in making children"s needs apriority and holding, teachers responsible. 38 The Harlem Village Academies will be able to enroll 2,000 ehildren in the next twoyears 39. Deborah Kenny admits that she learns a lot from other charter schools. 40. The curriculum at Harlem Village Academies not onlyincludes the subjects frequentlytested. 41.The Harlem Village Academies are eager to exert a national influence on policy and teaching methods. 42. Students entering the Harlem Village Academies are from the regular public system. 43. Deborah Kenny decides to create and run the Harlem Village Academies because sheis disappointed about the current education system. 44. Charter schools are mainly criticizedfor treating the teachers as professionals. 45. One of the challenges facing the Harlern Village Academies is how to accelerate students" mastery of the basics. Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed bysome questions orunfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A, B, C andD . Youshould decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a singleline through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Sign has become a scientific hot button.Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realizedthat signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand.They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language，and throw new l ighton an old scientific controversy：whether language，complete with grammar，is something that we are bornWith，or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneeringwork of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington，D. C.，the world‘s only liberal arts university for deaf people.

大学英语四级考试试卷I. Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage OneE-business requires instantaneous decision-making and KM (knowledge management) has a tremendous role to play in achieving this as well as quality feedback. Real-time business without proper knowledge and feedback information quickly turns into real-time unsupervised and valueless chaos. Lack of adequate knowledge flow and coherent real-time views of a situation inevitably lead to disastrous consequences. The infamous Barings Bank operated a real-time futures business without real-time checks and balances, and did not ensure adequate quality of knowledge flows from the trading floor to controllers and managers. It was too-much-too-fast coupled with too-little-quality-feedback and insufficient understanding. There was too little real-time knowledge at hand and it turned out a spectacular disaster.The missing link was KM. No serious e-business effort should be undertaken without considering, planning and implementing a strong KM infrastructure. Real-time knowledge must flow from those who have it to those who must be able to make the right move at the right time. And there is no time to spare. E-businesses must be equipped with interactive workflow tools and real-time business intelligence feedback in a clear and understandable format. People involved must have access to all underlying documents at all times at a snap of their fingers. Otherwise, they will guess rather than make informed decisions.Or worse, in fear of making a huge mistake, people will make no decisions at all. Take a home loan application process for example. You would most likely apply to a number of banks at the same time. They would obviously compete on pricing, but the bank that can make your credit assessment first and most effectively, process the documentation and inform you on the progress every step of the way will get your business. The rest may be stuck with less demanding, more risk-prone customers. This may affect their overall profitability, and ability to compete on price and service in the future. It could put them out of business altogether. So is there a link between e-business and KM? I surely think so.1. According to the passage, in doing E-business, you must _____.A. make quick decisionsB. learn many disciplinesC. work hardD. know how to promote yourself2. As the author puts it, being short of _____ will lead to failure inE-business.A. support from the governmentB. sufficient knowledge flow and accurate views of the situationC. qualified managersD. loan from the bank3. Barings Bank went bankrupt because _____.A. it involved itself in the futures businessB. its manager was not an expertC. it failed to smooth the knowledge flow and the feedback processesD. of its slow decision-making process4. Some managers do not make decisions because _____.A. they are not provided with sufficient informationB. they are slow in thinkingC. they are very democraticD. they have limited rights in the company5. When you apply for a home loan, you tend to choose a band which_____.A. offers the lowest interestB. is located quite near to your houseC. will keep you informed of the on-goings in the processD. is big and famousPassage TwoJonathon H. Stillman, a marine biologist at Stanford University, tested the heat tolerance of four species of crabs found in the shallow waters of the Pacific Ocean.Two of the crab species were from the Oregon coast and lived in waters that range from 47 degrees to 59 degrees in temperature. The other two came from the Gulf of California in Mexico and thrived in waters of 54 degrees to 86 degrees. Live specimens of the animals were placed in aquariums (鱼缸) which were held at a constant temperature just at theupper thermal range of their natural habitat. The crabs were then outfitted with sensors that measured heartbeat.The temperatures were raised in the individual aquariums by about a fifth of a degree a minute until the animals' heartbeat stopped. This established the upper thermal tolerance limit for each of the species.The Mexican crabs that lived in the hottest climate were the least able to adapt to an increase in temperatures above that which they normally encounter in their natural home. Temperatures in the habitat of one of the crabs often reaches degrees F, but the animals died at , less than a degree above normal. One of the Oregon species was acclimated to a temperature of 65, but survived until the aquarium temperature reached 87.The crabs that came from the Oregon coast adapted best to a rise in temperature and had the greatest capacity to increase their heat tolerance.6. The crabs from the _____ can survive in waters with higher temperature.A. Oregon CoastB. Atlantic OceanC. Gulf of California in MexicoD. State of California7. The researchers studied the crabs to find out _____.A. their heat toleranceB. their heart beatsC. their living stylesD. the differences between two species of crabs8. The researchers didn't _____ in the study.A. measure the crabs' heart beatsB. place the crabs in aquariumsC. fix sensors on the crabsD. raise the temperature of the water gradually9. The Mexican crabs _____.A. lived in a hotter climateB. live in waters of 47-59 degreesC. had better heat toleranceD. were less sensitive to the change in temperature10. The Oregon crabs _____.A. lived in a hotter climateB. died at , less than a degree above normalC. only died at 87D. had greater capacity to increase their heat tolerancePassage ThreeScience and technology are productive forces. The scientific and technological revolution has played a very important role in thehigh-speed development of the economies of western countries including the United States since the war.Right before the end of the war, the . achieved prominent breakthroughs in the three fields of atomic energy, electronic computers and spacenavigation. These three great inventions, together with other inventions in military scope, were applied to civil industries in the postwar period, which has led to the third great scientific and technological revolution in man's history. It was originated from the . and it benefited the . most. The first computer came into being in 1945 and in the same year, the first atom bomb was tested. Soon after the first man-made earth satellite of the Soviet Union was sent into the sky in 1957, the . launched her earth satellite into the orbit. Then the . started an unprecedented Apollo program, with the aim of sending man to the moon within a decade. The project was successfully carried out and in 1969, for the first time in man's history, two human beings landed on the moon. It was the most remarkable triumph in the twentieth century.Science has been greatly responsible for the rise on big business, as it has given industry certain technological advances, such as assembly-line production, automation.

It's raining hard and when the bus comes you realize you won't get on unless you jump the queue. What would you do? (1) (Half the Dutch questioned said they'd push their way on, as against 18 per cent of Finns and 32 per cent of Britons.)In Germany, 38 per cent said they would queue-barge. Not, however, one Stuttgart respondent: "Queuing is something I learned in Britain." Yet a Nottingham pensioner said: "Do people actually queue any more?" We asked people if theywould conceal income to avoid paying tax. Across Europe, 39 per cent said they would, compared with 46 per cent in the UK. In Austria, though, a whopping (巨大的) 64 per cent say they'd cheat. In Belgium, one 47-year-old admitted that he wouldn't hesitate. "(2) (In my job, I see people cheating every day. Those who don't are either innocent or stupid." His job? Tax official.)(3) (A classic ethical situation: as you leave the supermarket, you realize the cashier has given you too much in change. Would you return and give the money back?) Two thirds of the Europeans we asked, 67 per cent, answered yes (69 per cent in the UK); and even more impressively, 80 per cent of the French.Still, situational ethics are often involved. "It depends on the cashier," argued a young Czech businesswoman. "If she was pleasant and smiling, I'd tell her that she'd given me too much change. If not, I wouldn't bother." For one Dutchman, it's size that matters. "I'd return money to a corner shop, but not a big department store."Company size also mattered when Europeans were asked about installing illicit copies of software on their own computers. As one Swiss 25-year-old put it, "Bill Gates of Microsoft is rich enough; I don't feel guilty about using illegal copies of his software." This seemed the view of the 75 per cent of those polled in Portugal; though only 64 per cent would do this in Europe as a whole.(4) (The question that probably caused most heart-searching was whether to tell a friend if you'd seen their husband/wife walking hand-in-hand with a stranger.) In Portugal, 51 per cent said they would as opposed to 18 per cent in Slovakia. Overall, 37 per cent across Europe and 43 per cent in the UK said they'd tell.(5) (On some other issues was there a sharper divide between the ages.) For, while 55 per cent of European young people would enlighten their friend, only 18 per cent of those over 50 would take this step. It was a question that brought several of our respondents to a stunned silence, and some close to tearsS1. ________________________S2. ______________________________S3. ______________________________S4. ______________________________S5. ______________________________V.

A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750,000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. And that number may be low, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they have been victimized.【C】Identity theft is “an absolute epidemic,” states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and advo cate of privacy. “It’s certainly picked up in the last four or five years. It’s worldwide. It affects everybody, and there’s very little you can do to preve nt it and, worst of all, you can’t detect it until it’s probably too late.”【D】Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their use, your personal data, especially your social security number, your bank account or credit card number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data, can be used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. In the United States and Canada, for example, many people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds out of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether, running up vast debts and committing crimes while using t he victims’ names. In many cases, a victim’s losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional financial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible.【E】According to the FBI, identity theft is the number one fraud committed on the Internet. So how do job seekers protect themselves while continuing to circulate their resumes online?The key to a successful online job search is learning to manage the risks. Here are some tips for staying safe while conducting a job search on the Internet.【F】If you are considering posting your resume online, make sure the job search site you areconsidering has a privacy policy, like The policy should spell out how your information will be used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others. You could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors (推销员). 【G】When reviewing the site’s privacy policy, you’ll be able to delete your resume just as easily as you posted it. You won’t necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Internet once you land a job. Remember, the longer your resume remains posted on a job board, the more exposure, both positive and not-so-positive, it will receive.【H】Lawful job search sites offer levels of privacy protection. Before posting your resume, carefully consider your job search objectives and the level of risk you are willing to assume., for example, offers three levels of privacy from which job seekers can choose. The first is standard posting. This option gives job seekers who post their resumes the most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible. The second is anonymous posting. This allows job seekers the same visibility as those in the standard posting category without any of their contact information being displayed. Job seekers who wish to remain anonymous but want to share some other information may choose which pieces of contact information to display. The third is private posting. This option allows a job seeker to post a resume without having it searched by employers. Private posting allows job seekers to quickly and easily apply for jobs that appear on without retyping their information.【I】Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the Internet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a generic identifier, such as “Intranet Developer Candidate,” or “Experienced Marketin g Representative.” You should also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer. Depending on your title, it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. Use a general description of the company such as “Major auto manufacturer.” or “International packaged goods supplier.” If your job title is unique, consider using the generic equivalent instead of the exact title assigned by your employer.【J】Another way to protect your privacy while seeking employment online is to open up an email account specifically for your online job search. This will safeguard your existing email box in the event someone you don’t know gets hold of your email address and shares it with others. Using an email address specifically for your job search also eliminates the possibility that you will receive unwelcome emails in your primary mailbox. When naming your new email address, be sure that it doesn’t contain references to your name or other information that will give away your identity. The best solution is an email address that is relevant to the ***********************************************.【K】If your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of your references, take it out. There’s no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contact information of your references.【L】Do not, under any circumstances, share your social security, driver’s license, and bank account numbers or other personal information, such as race or eye color. Honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. Don’t provide this even if they say they need it in order to conduct a background check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book—don’t fall fo r it.36. Concealing identities and using a general title on the resume instead of the real name is a safeway to protect job hunters online.37. Identity theft is a widely spread crime that may influence everybody and can hardly bedetected and prevented.38. It is regarded guilty to obtain others’personal information through ways like fraud ordeception for economic profit.39. On a lawful website like , three levels of privacy are available for jobhunters to protect their personal information.40. Since a lot of people choose to hide the fact that their identity is being stolen, the actualnumber of victims of identity theft is underestimated.41. The risk of your personal information being exposed to others is in proportion to the timeduration your resume is posted online.42. Victims of identity theft may suffer not only from loss of money, but also other financial lossesrelated to an effort to regain his fame among people around him.43. When applying for a job, you don’t need to share information like your race or eye color evenif you are asked to.44. While seeking a job online, it is safe to use an email account especially for the job search andthe name of this email address should not reveal your identity.45. It is advisable to post your resume on job hunting site that has a clearly stated privacy policy. Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:"There is a senseless notion that children grow up and leave home when they're 18, and the truth is far from that," says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin. Today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents. "There is a major shift in the middle class," declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months.Analysts cite a variety of reasons for this return to the nest. The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people. A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters. For some, the expense of an away-from-home collegeeducation has become so excessively great that many students now attend local schools. Even after graduation, young people find their wings clipped by skyrocketing housing costs.Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give her security and moral support. Her mother agreed, "It's ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent. It makes sense for kids to stay at home." But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times—and left three times. "What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem," she explains. "He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends' houses."Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake. Children, struggling to establish separate identities, can end up with "a sense of inadequacy, defeat and failure". And aging parents, who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom, find themselves stuck with responsibilities. Many agree that brief visits, however, can work beneficially.46. There was apparently a trend in the U.S. ______.A) for young adults to leave their parents and live independentlyB) for middle class young adults to stay with their parentsC) for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absenceD) for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents47. Which of the following does not account for young adults returning to the nest?A) Young adults find housing costs too high.B) Young adults are psychologically and intellectually immature.C) Young adults seek parental comfort and moral support.D) Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.48. One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents is that ______.A) there will inevitably be inconveniences in everyday lifeB) the parents have to spend more money keeping a bigger family goingC) the young adults tend to be overprotected by their parentsD) public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents49. The word "hassles" in the passage (Line 4, Para. 3) probably means ______.A) agreements B) worries C) disadvantages D) quarrels50. According to the passage what is the best for both parents and children?A) They should adjust themselves to sharing the family expenses.B) Children should leave their parents when they are grown-up.C) Adult children should visit their parents from time to time.D) Parents should support their adult children when they are in trouble.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them formost of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.51. The author is primarily addressing ______.A) parents of teenagers C) those who give advice to teenagersB) newspaper readers D) teenagers52. The first paragraph is mainly about ______.A) the teenagers' criticism of their parentsB) misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC) the dominance of the parents over their childrenD) the teenagers' ability to deal with crises53.

Model TestPart Ⅰ Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Decrease of Public Transportation Ticket Fare. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1. 近来一些城市政府实施多项举措降低公共交通票价，大力发展公共交通；2. 此措施带来的好处；3. 作为市民应如何响应政府的号召。

The Decrease of Public Transportation Ticket FareThe Debate Over Genetically Modified FoodsFor thousands of years farmers have used a process of selection and cross breeding to continually improve the quality of crops. Traditional breeding methods are slow, requiring intensive labor: while trying to get a desirable trait in a bred species, undesirable traits will appear and farmers must continue the process over and over again until all the undesirables are bred out. In contrast, organisms acquire one specific gene or a few genes together through genetic modification, without other traits included and within a single generation. However, this technology too is inherently unpredictable and some scientists believe it can produce potentially dangerous results unless better testing methods are developed. Traditional breeding is based on sexual reproduction between like organisms. The transferred genes are similar to genes in the cell they join. They are conveyed in complete groups and in a fixed sequence that harmonizes with the sequence of genes in the partner cell. In contrast, bioengineers isolate a gene from one type of organism and collect it randomly into the DNA of a dissimilar species, disrupting its natural sequence. One of the main differences between conventional and genetically modified crops is that the former involves crosses either within species or between very closely related species. However, GM crops can have genes from closely related species or even from bacteria and viruses. Benefits: one side of the debate Economical? GM supporters tell farmers that they stand to reap enormous profits from growing GM crops. It takes a shorter time to produce the desired product. It is precise and there are no unwanted genes. To produce the GM crops, modern biotechnology is used which requires highly skilled people and sophisticated and expensive equipment. Large companies need considerable investments in laboratories, equipment and human resources, hence the reason why GM crops are more expensive for farmers than traditional crops. Herbicide-resistant crops So what other advantages do GM crops hold for farmers? GM crops can be produced to be herbicide (除草剂) resistant. This means that farmers could spray these crops with herbicide and kill the weeds, without affecting the crop. In effect, the amount of herbicide used in one season would be reduced, with a subsequent reduction in costs for farmers and consumers. Biotechnology companies are even experimenting with crops that can be genetically modified to be drought and salt-tolerant, or less reliant on fertilizer, opening up new areas to be farmed and leading to increased productivity.However, the claims of less herbicide usage with GM crops have till now not been independently supported by facts. Better quality foods Even animals can be genetically modified to be leaner, grow faster, and need less food. They could be modified to have special characteristics, such as greater milk production in cows. These modifications again lead to improved productivity for farmers and finally lower costs for the consumers. Modified crops could perhaps prevent outbreaks such as foot and mouth disease, which has badly influenced many farmers and local economies. No such products have been released to date; however, some are under consideration for release. For example, GM salmon, capable of growing almost 30 times faster than natural salmon, may soon be approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the U.S. for release into open waters without a single study on the impact on human health or the environment. Risks: the other side of the debate Environmental damage The problem with GM crops is that there is little known about what effect they will have in, say, 20 years time. The genetic structure of any living organism is complex and GM crop tests focus on short-term effects. Not all the effects of introducing a foreign gene into the complex genetic structure of an organism are tested. Will the pests that a crop was created to resist eventually become resistant to this crop? Then there is always the possibility that we may not be able to destroy GM crops once they spread into the environment. Risk to food web. A further complication is that the pesticide produced in the crop may unintentionally harm creatures. GM crops may also pose a health risk to native animals that eat them. The animals may be poisoned by the built-in pesticides. Tests in the U.S. showed that 44% of caterpillars (毛虫) of the monarch butterfly died when fed large amounts of pollen（花粉）from GM corn. Disease. Another concern is disease. Since some crops are modified using the DNA from viruses and bacteria, will we see new diseases emerge? What about the GM crops that have antibiotic-resistant marker genes? Marker genes are used by scientists to determine whether their genetic modification of a plant was successful. Will these antibiotic-resistant genes be transferred to microorganisms that cause disease? We already have a problem with ineffective antibiotics. How can we develop new drugs to fight these new bugs? Until further studies can show that GM foods and crops do not pose serious threats to human health or the world's ecosystems, the debate over their release will continue. Living organisms are complex and tampering with their genes may have unintended effects. It is in our common interest to support concerned scientists and organizations, such as Friends of the Earth who demand required labeling of these food products and independent testing for safety and environmental impacts.1. What is the main difference between conventional breeding and genetic breeding?A) The former is based on sexual reproduction between like organisms while the latter can have genes even frombacteria and viruses.B) The former is unpredictable while the latter is predictable.C) The former is applied by farmers while the latter by scientists.D) The former has a long history while the latter a short one.2.

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 onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through thecentre.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Iron production was revolutionized in the early eighteenth century when coke was first used instead of charcoal (木炭) for refining iron ore. Previously the poor quality of the iron had restricted its use in architecture to items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches, vaults (拱顶),and walls. With the improvement in refining ore, it was now possible to make cast-iron beams and columns. During the nineteenth century further advances were made, notably Bessemer's process for converting iron into steel, which made the material more commercially feasible.Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far greater than that of stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed more slowly. By 1800 a complete internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed in industrial architecture replacing traditional timber beams, but it generally remained concealed. Apart from its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material lay in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas. As a result, iron became increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of architecture during the nineteenth century, but it was invariably concealed.Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types produced by the Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition halls, and railroad stations, where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status. Designers of the railroad stations of the new age explored the potential of iron, covering huge areas with spans that surpassed the great vaults of medieval churches and cathedrals. Paxton's Crystal Palace, designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851,covered an area of 1848 feet by 408 feet in assembled units of glass set in iron frames. The Paris Exhibition of 1889 included both the widest span and the greatest height achieved so far with the Halle des Machines, spanning 362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high. However, these achievements were mocked by the artists of Paris as expensive and ugly foolishness. Iron, despite itsstructural advantages, had little aesthetic (审美的) status. The use of an exposed iron structure in the more traditional styles of architecture was slower to develop.52. What does the passage mainly discuss?A) Advances in iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.B) The effects of the Industrial Revolution on traditional architectural styles.C) Advantages of stone and timber over steel as building materials.D) The evolution of the use of iron in architecture.53. Iron replaced stone and timber in the building of bridges because iron was considered_________.A) more beautifulB) new and modernC) much strongerD) easier to transport54. According to Paragraph 3,the architectural significance of the Halle des Machines was its ________.A) wide spanB) great heightC) unequaled beautyD) assembled units of glass55. How did the artists react to the buildings at the Paris Exhibition?A) They tried to copy them.B) They laughed at them.C) They praised them.D) They refused to pay to see them.56. It can be inferred that the delayed use of exposed iron structures in traditional styles of architecture is bestexplained by________.A) the impracticality of using iron for small, noncommercial buildingsB) the association of iron architecture with the problems of the Industrial RevolutionC) the general belief that iron offered less resistance to fire and harsh weather than traditional materialsD) the general perception that iron structures were not beautiful in appearancePassage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Four months before Crown Prince Felipe says “si” ( “yes” in Spanish) to television journalist Letizia Ortiz,royal wedding fever is gripping Spain.Shops are offering the biggest variety of wedding souvenirs (纪念品),from plates and bottle-openers to copiesof the couple's engagement ring.The couple have made only a few carefully staged public appearances to reduce the scrutiny (仔细检查).Spanish people waited for more than a decade for the 36-year-old son of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia to find a suitable bride. And more important, the May 22 wedding will be a landmark event in other ways.Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano,31,is the daughter of a nurse and a journalist. So, she will be the first commoner on a throne once occupied by Queen Isabella, who sent Christopher Columbus to the Americas.The pretty, elegant former news anchor (主持人)will also become Spain's first home-grown queen in more than a century. The lively and professionally accomplished Letizia has been welcomed by Spanish people as a new type of queen for a modern monarchy.Spanish people were accustomed to seeing her in television news broadcasts and she arouses tremendous curiosity. Journalists are investigating even the most ordinary aspects of her past which resembles that of so many other young Spanish professional women.Spanish people have also taken note that she tried to interrupt the prince when they talked to the press after getting engaged in November. “Let me talk,” she told the heir to the Bourbon throne.Such behavior is regarded as understandable in a woman who went to Mexico by herself at age 23 and later reported on the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Iraq war for state television TVE.Her strong character, frankness and critical mind could also be disadvantages for a royal who is rarely expected to speak her mind, reporters have said.The palace has struggled to protect her from scrutiny and to give her time to adapt to her new role.57. By saying “royal wedding fever” (Line 2,Para.1),the author means “_________”.A) a lot of royal weddings followB) the Spanish people are surprised at the royal weddingC) the royal wedding makes a stir in the whole countryD) the royal wedding becomes a fashion58. The most important reason why royal wedding causes such a great interest is that_________ .A) a commoner is married into a royal familyB) the prince finally finds his brideC) a famous TV journalist gets marriedD) the wedding is expensive59. Letizia used to be a news anchor who was _________.A) world-famousB) frankC) seriousD) capable60. Letizia's interruption of the prince when they talked to the press was most probably prompted by her_________ .A) curiosityB) innocenceC) outspokennessD) rudeness61. The difficulty for Letizia to fit in the royal life may lie in _________.A) how to meet the requirements of the QueenB) how to change her character to fit in the royal familyC) how to continue her career after marriageD) how to face her former audience as a princessPart Ⅴ Cloze (15 minutes) Acupuncture (针灸) is quite mysterious.
