(一)Text 1Being a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among 70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important, another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby (particularly a boy baby) surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the variation is due to genes, one more agent of evolution has gone.There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities, very few women have 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished. India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today―everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes.For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. Strangely, it has involved little physical change. No other species fills so many places in nature. But in the past100,000 years—even the past 100 years—our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution: “they look at an organic being as average looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension.” No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants maybe at how far from Utopia we were, they will look just like us.1. What used to be the danger in being a man according to the first paragraph?[A]A lack of mates.[B]A fierce competition.[C]A lower survival rate.[D]A defective gene.2. What does the example of India illustrate?[A]Wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor people.[B]Natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poor.[C]The middle class population is 80% smaller than that of the tribes.[D]India is one of the countries with a very high birth rate.太奇MBA网 1 / 5中国MBA网 3. The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because____.[A]life has been improved by technological advance[B]the number of female babies has been declining[C]our species has reached the highest stage of evolution[D]the difference between wealth and poverty is disappearing4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?[A]Sex Ration Changes in Human Evolution[B]Ways of Continuing Man's Evolution[C]The Evolutionary Future of Nature[D]Human Evolution Going NowhereText 2During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure had been transformed by economic risk and new realties. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics. Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today’s families have budgeted to the limits of theirs new two-paycheck status. As a result, they have lost the parachuted they once had in times of financial setback—a back-up earner （usually Mom）who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. This “added-worker effect” could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner.During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income. Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a saving-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. For younger families the picture is not any better. Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen – and newly fashionable health-saving plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal-Mart workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk for families’ future healthcare. Even demographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent – and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance – have jumped eightfold in just one generation.太奇MBA网 2 / 5中国MBA网 From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.1. Today’s double-income families are at greater financial risk in that[A] the safety net they used to enjoy has disappeared.[B] their chances of being laid off have greatly increased.[C] they are more vulnerable to changes in family economics.[D] they are deprived of unemployment or disability insurance.2. As a result of President Bush’s reform, retired people may have[A] a higher sense of security. [B] less secured payments.[C] less chance to invest. [D] a guaranteed future.3. According to the author, health-savings plans will[A] help reduce the cost of healthcare.[B] popularize among the middle class.[C] compensate for the reduced pensions.[D] increase the families’ investment risk.4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that[A] financial risks tend to outweigh political risks.[B] the middle class may face greater political challenges.[C] financial problems may bring about political problems.[D] financial responsibility is an indicator of political status.5. Which of the following is the best title for this text?[A] The Middle Class on the Alert[B] The Middle Class on the Cliff[C] The Middle Class in Conflict[D] The Middle Class in RuinsText 3It never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them- especially in America-the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite：data insecurity. Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss's agenda in businesses of every variety.Several massive leakages of customer and employee data this year- from organizations as diverse as Time Warner, the American defense contractor Science Applications International Corp and even the University of California. Berkeley-have left managers hurriedly peering into their intricate 11 systems and business processes in search of potential vulnerabilities.“Data is becoming an asset which needs to be guarded as much as any other asset.” says Hiam Mendelson of Stanford University's business school “The ability guard customer data is the key to market value, which the board is responsible for on behalf of shareholders” Indeed,太奇MBA网 3 / 5中国MBA网 just as there is the concept of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles （GAAP）, perhaps it is time for GASP, Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam of New York's Columbia Business School. “Setting the proper investment level for security, redundancy, and recovery is a management issue, not a technical one.” he says.The mystery is that this should come as a surprise to any boss. Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore-and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.The current state of affairs may have been encouraged-though not justified-by the lack of legal penalty （in America, but not Europe）for data leakage. Until California recently passed a law, American firms did not have to tell anyone, even the victim, when data went astray, That may change fast lots of proposed data-security legislation now doing the rounds in Washington.D.C. Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card accounts in America, disclosed on June 17th. overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America's Federal Trade Commission （FTC） that puts corporate America on notice that regulators will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security.1. The statement：“It never rains but it pours”is used to introduce[A] the fierce business competition.[B] the feeble boss-board relations[C] the threat from news reports.[D] the severity of data leakage.2. According to Paragraph 2, some organizations check their systems to find out[A] whether there is any weak point.[B] what sort of data has been stolen.[C] who is responsible for the leakage.[D] how the potential spies can be located.3. In bringing up the concept of GASP the author is making the point that[A] shareholders interests should be properly attended to.[B] information protection should be given due attention.[C] businesses should enhance their level of accounting security.[D] the market value of customer data should be emphasized.4. According to Paragraph 4, what puzzles the author is that some bosses fail to[A] see the link between trust and data protection.[B] perceive the sensitivity of personal data.[C] realize the high cost of data restoration.[D] appreciate the economic value of trust.5. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that[A] data leakage is more severe in Europe.[B] FTC's decision is essential to data security.太奇MBA网 4 / 5中国MBA网 [C] California takes the lead in security legislation.[D] legal penalty is a major solution to data leakage.（二）Alas, leadership is a slippery subject, and as he depicts various theories, even Mr. Nye never quite nails the jelly to the wall. He is at his most interesting when discussing the moral aspects of leadership in particular, the question of whether it is sometimes necessary for good leaders to lie -and he provides a helpful 12-point summary of his conclusions. A recurring theme is that as circumstances change, different sorts of leaders are required, a leader who thrives in one environment may struggle in another, and vice versa. Ultimately that is just a fancy way of saying that leadership offers no easy answers.(2009)55. According to the author, the most interesting part of Mr.Nye’s book lies in his _____.A. view of changeable leadershipB. definition of good leadershipC. summary of leadership historyD. discussion of moral leadershipPrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.(2007)41. Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.A．an increasingly interconnected worldB．maintaining small numbers of speakersC．relatively isolated language communitiesD．following the tradition of the 20th centuryThere will always be change — new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to buttress employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.(2013)24. According to the author, to reduce unemployment, the most important is ____.A. to accelerate the I.T. revolutionB. to ensure more education for peopleC. to advance economic globalizationD. to pass more bills in the 21st century太奇MBA网 5 / 5中国MBA网 。

(10 points)Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically.1 a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions have been2 for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment would soon "revolutionize the very3 of money itself," only to4 itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so5 in coming? Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work6 the disappearance of the paper system.

Section III Reading Comprehension Directions: Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points) Passage One Scholastic thinkers held a wide variety of doctrines in both philosophy and theology, the study of religion. What gives unity to the whole Scholastic movement, the academic practice in Europe form the 9th to the 17th centuries, are the common aims, attitudes, and methods generally accepted by all its members. The chief concern of the Scholastics was not to discover new facts but to integrate the knowledge already acquired separately by Greek reasoning and Christian revelation. This concern is one of the most characteristic differences between Scholasticism and modern thought since the renaissance. The basic aim of the Scholastics determined certain common attitudes, the most important of which was their conviction of the fundamental harmony between reason and revelation. The Scholastics maintained that because the same God was the source of both types of knowledge and truth was one of his chief attributes, he could not contradict himself in these two ways of speaking. Any apparent opposition between revelation and reason could be traced either to an incorrect use of reason or to an inaccurate interpretation of the words of revelation. Because the Scholastics believed that revelation was the direct teaching of God, it possessed for them a higher degree of truth and certainty than did natural reason. In apparent conflicts between religious faith and philosophic reasoning, faith was thus always the supreme arbiter; the theologians’decision overruled that of the philosopher. After the early 13th century, Scholastic thought emphasized more the independence of philosophy within its own domain. Nonetheless, throughout the scholastic period, philosophy was called the servant of theology, not only because the truth of philosophy was subordinated to that of theology, but also because the theologian used philosophy to understand and explain revelation. This attitude of Scholasticism stands in sharp contrast to the so-called double-truth theory of the Spanish-Arab philosopher and physician Averroes. His theory assumer that truth was accessible to both philosophy and Islamic theology but that only philosophy could attain it perfectly. The so-called truths of theology served, hence, as imperfect imaginative expressions for the common people of the authentic truth accessible only to philosophy. Averroes maintained that philosophic truth could even contradict, at least verbally, the teachings of Islamic theology. As a result of their belief in the harmony between faith and reason, the Scholastics attempted to determine the precise scope and competence of each of these faculties. Many early Scholastics, such as the Italian ecclesiastic and philosopher St. Anselm, did not clearly distinguish the two and were overconfident that reason could prove certain doctrines of revelation. Later, at the height of the mature period of Scholasticism, the Italian theologian and philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas worked out a balance between reason and revelation. 41. With the Scholastics, the search for new knowledgeA. stopped completelyB. slowed down.C. advanced rapidlyD. awaked gradually. 42. Which of the following best illustrates the relation between reason and revelation? A. They are simply identical. B. Revelation guides reason. C. They are occasionally contradictory. D. Reason is used to perfect revelation. 43. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that A. the position of philosophy as a humble servant was accepted. B. religion had turned into a hamper to the functioning of philosophy. C. philosophers often sometimes referred to in religious practice. D. philosophers were sometimes referred to in religious practice. 44. According to the passage, Averroes held that A. Islamic theology was often subordinate to philosophy. B. religious truth was nothing but imaginative fantasy. C. real truth was inaccessible to many common people. D. imperfect expressions were result of flawed religion. 45. Which of the following is most likely to be discussed in the part succeeding the passage? A. Relations of St. T. Aquinas’ achievements to previous efforts. B. How St. T. Aquinas worked out in the balance in discussion. C. Other endeavors on the relationship of reason and revelation. D. Outstanding features of the mature period of Scholasticism.Passage Two Global energy demand is expected to triple by mid-century. The earth is unlikely to run out of fossil fuels by then, given its vast reserves of coal, but it seems unthinkable that we will continue to use them as we do now. It’s not just a question of supply and price, or even of the disease caused by filthy air. The terrorist assault on the World Trade Center raises other scary scenarios: how much easier would it be to bomb a nuclear plant than to attack a wind arm? Skeptics may recall the burst of enthusiasm for conservation and renewable power when oil prices quadrupled in the 1970s. State-funded energy research and development surged, while tax incentives boosted solar, wind and other alternatives to petroleum and the atom. But when oil supplies loosened and prices dropped in the early 1990s, governments lost interest. In the state of California, subsidies evaporated, pushing wind companies into bankruptcy. Clean energy has long way to go. Only 2.2% of the world’s energy comes from “new” renewable such as small hydroelectric dams, wind, solar and geothermal. How to boost that share-and at what pace-is debated in industrialized nations-from Japan, which imports 99.7% of its oil, to Germany, where the nearby Chernobyl accident turned the public against nuclear plants, to the U.S., where the Bush Administration has strong ties to the oil industry. But the momentum toward clean renewable is undeniable. How soon we reach an era of clean, inexhaustible energy depends on technology. Solar and wind energies are intermittent: When the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nuclear plants must kick into compensate. But scientists are working on better ways to store electricity from renewable sources. While developed nations debate how to fuel their power plants, however, some 1.6 billion people-a quarter of the globe’s population-have no access to electricity or gasoline. Many spend their days collecting firewood and cow dung, burning it in primitive stoves that belch smoke into their lunge. To emerge from poverty, they need modern energy. And renewable can help. From village-scale hydropower to household photovoltaic systems to bio-gas stoves that convert dung into fuel. Ultimately, the earth can meet its energy needs without fouling the environment. “But it won’t happen,” asserts Thomas Johansson, an energy adviser to the United Nations Development Program, “without political will.” To begin with, widespread government subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy must be dismantled to level the playing field for renewable. Moreover, government should pressure utility to meet targets for renewable sources of energy. 46. The author’s biggest worry about using unclear energy is that A. it will do great harm to the inadequate reserves of coal. B. it is deadly if terrorists attack a nuclear plant. C. it will limit the development of many other alternatives. D. there will be a wider gap between developed and developing countries. 47. The renewable energy research lost support from governments in the early 1990s because A. skeptics were becoming doubtful about the efficiency of renewable. B. renewable could not meet the increasing energy needs of the society. C. it was much easier and cheaper to use oil than before. D. the investment into the field was not worth its value. 48. Which one of the following applies to the use of renewable in developed nations? A. The more developed a nation is, the higher the proportion of renewable being used. B. Developed nations are experiencing a fierce energy revolution. C. Developed nations’ ties with the oil industry are becoming tense. D. Developed nations haven’t reached a consensus about using more renewable. 49. From the passage, we can conclude that A. it will be impossible for wind and solar energy to completely replace fossil fuels. B. high technology plays a vital role in the trend toward clean energy. C. the development of a nation will inevitably pollute the environment. D. poor areas are badly polluted and are in high need of renewable energy. 50. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to A. urges the governments to take effective measures B. illustrate the urgent demand of clean energy C. en courage developed nations to set up an example in the energy revolution. D. elaborate the difficulties in the use of clean energyPassage Three The United States in the 1990s has had seven years of economic boom with low unemployment, low inflation, and low government deficit. Amid all of this good news, inequality has increased and wages have barely risen. Common sense knowledge seems to be right in this instance, that is, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class is shrinking. Though President Clinton boasts that the number of people on welfare has decreased significantly under his regime to 8 million, a 44% decline from 1994, he forgets that there are still 36.5 million poor people in the United States, which is only a 2% decline in the same amount of time. How is it possible that we have increasing inequality during economic prosperity? This contradiction is not easily explained by the dominant neoclassical economic discourse of our time.

7. C [A]replaced被替换的 [B]fired被开除的 [C]judged裁定的，评判的 [D]delayed延时的，拖延的解析：上下文语义+词义辨析本句中，考查我们“fear”的事情是被____. 结合上下文语义以及选项含义，我们可以直接排除掉B和D,这两项与“坐地铁”无关。
符合原文含义的是D，我们害怕被“评判”。
因此C为正确选项。
8. D [A]unreasonable不合理的，不切合实际的 [B] ungrateful忘恩负义的，不领情的 [C]unconventional非传统的，不合惯例的[D]unfamiliar不熟悉的解析：上下文语义+形容词辨析本题考查形容词的辨析。
四个选项本身没有难度。
做形容词这一类题要注意它修饰的成分是什么。
本句是一个较简单的主系表结构，主语是“strangers”，空格处让我们填表语，修饰的是strangers,因此，根据语义，应该选择D选项“不熟悉的”，译为“陌生人本身对我们来说就是不太熟悉的”。
因此D为正确选项。
9. C [A]comfortable 舒适的，充裕的[B]confident自信的，有信心的[C]anxious忧虑的， [D]angry 生气的，愤怒的解析：上下文语义+形容词辨析本题结合前半句的含义，“陌生人本身对我们来说就是不太熟悉的”，因此，人们在和陌生人交流的时候会更___。
我们要选择一个形容词来修饰与陌生人交流时候的心情，结合四个单词含义，C“忧虑的”更符合这种交流心境。
因此C为正确选项。
10.D [A]attend 出席，参加[B]point指出，朝向，瞄准[C]take 拿，带 [D]turn 翻转，旋转,转移解析：动词搭配。
上句语义为“为了避免这种尴尬，我们___我们的手机”。
在本句中，需要一个动词，并且能“to”搭配。
A与B比较好排除，关键看C和D这两个选项. C选项“take to ”译为“开始，从事”。
D选项“turn to”译为“转向”。

Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in about 75 out of the 480 or socompanies it affects are still too male for the government''s liking. They will shortly receive aletterinforming them that they have until the end of February to act, or face the legalconsequences——which could include being dissolved.Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were female, according to theCentre for Corporate Diversity .The number has since jumped to 36%. That is far higher than the averageof 9% for big companies across Europe or America''s 15% for the Fortune 's stock exchange and its mainbusiness lobby oppose the law, as do many businessmen. I am against quotas for women or men as amatter of principle, says Sverre Munck, head of international operations at a media firm. Board membersof public companies should be chosen solely on the basis of merit and experience,be says. Several firmshave even given up their public status in order to escape the new law.Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. Many complain that it has beenDifficult to find experienced candidates. Because of this, some of the best women have collected as manyas 25-35 directorships each, and are known in Norwegian business circles as the golden skirts. One reasonfor the scarcity is that there are fairly few women in management in Norwegian companies——theyoccupy around 15% of senior positions.

Recent history inNorway, however, suggests that the right women can make strong directors.

The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric （小儿科的）cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she's discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare from of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stockedup on organic food, determined to become a full-time healing addict. Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her own personal cancer posse: a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of cancer babes offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn't funny, but Ms. Carr often is.

I refused to let cancer ruin my party, she writes. There are just too many cool things to do and plan and live for.Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you're not stuckwith regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive so loud you neighbors call the police. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people inyour illness. people you tell are going to cautious and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle, she writes.While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every cancer patient wants: the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.46.
