Each passage is following by some questions or unfinished statements-For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with asingle line through the centre.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice,almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound, two-pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size, and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product’s market position.When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from 1 dollar to 2.50 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average family pays about 200 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can’t be used anything but stuffing the garbage can.21. What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packagingrumpus?A) Consumers’ complaints about the changes in the package size.B) Expensive packaging for poor quality products.C) A senator’s discovery of the tricks in packaging.D) The rise in the unit price for many products.22. The word “undue” (Para. 2) means “________”.A) improperB) adequateC) unexpectedD) excessive23. Consumers are concerned about the changes in the package size, mainly because________.A) they hate to see any changes in things they are familiar withB) they unit price for a product often rises as a resultC) they have to pay for the cost of changing package sizesD) this entails an increase in the cost of packaging24. According to this passage, various types of packaging come into existence to________.A) meet the needs of consumersB) suit all kinds of productsC) enhance the market position of productsD) introduce new products25. The author is critical mainly of ________.A) dishonest packagingB) inferior packagingC) the changes in package sizeD) exaggerated illustrations on packagesQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central-usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm’s hierarchy.While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is as lower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can’t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that to withthese processes will disappear.26. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in Americancompanies?A) They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.B) They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own business.C) They attach more importance to workers than equipment.D) They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.27. What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an Americanfirm?A) He is one of the most important executives in firms.B) His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C) He is directly under the chief financial executives in the firms.D) He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.28. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to ________.A) workers who can operate new equipmentB) technological and managerial staffC) workers who lack basic background skillsD) top executives29. According to the passages, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm’s competitiveadvantage is ________.A) the introduction of new technologiesB) the improvement of worker’s basic skillsC) the rational composition of professional and managerial employeesD) the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees30. What is the main idea of the passage?A) American firms are different from Japanese and German firms inhuman-resource management.B) Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human-resource management.C) The head of human-resource management must be in the central position in afirm’s hierarchy.D) The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect theircompetitive capacity.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The biographer has to dance between two shaky positions with respect to the subject.Too close a relation, and the writer may be objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul-the quality of life. Who should write the biography of a family, for example? Because of their closeness to the subject, family members may have special information, but by the same token, they may not have the distance that would allow them to be fair. Similarly, a king’s servant might not be the best one to write a biography of that king. But a foreigner might not have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the king’s biography-not for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate.There is no ideal position for such a task. The biographer has to work with the position he or she has in the world, adjusting that position as necessary to deal with the subject. Every position has strengths and weaknesses: to thrive, a writer must try to become aware of these, evaluate them in terms of the subject, and select a position accordingly.When their subjects are heroes or famous figures, biographies often reveal a democratic motive: they attempt to show that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us to become better than we are. The biographies of Jesus found in the Bible are in this class.Biographers may claim that their account is the “authentic” one. In advancing this claim, they are helped if the biography is “authorized” by the subject, this presumably allows the biographer special access to private information. “Unauthorized” biographies also have their appeal, however, since they can suggest an independence of mind in the biographer. In book promotions, the “unauthorized” characterisation usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress. A subject might have several biographies, even several “authentic” ones. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell the story of a life, perhaps not even the subject, and this has been proved by the history of biography.31. According to the author, an ideal biographer would be one who ________.A) knows the subject very well and yet maintains a proper distance from himB) is close to the subject and knows the techniques of biography writingC) is independent and treats the subject with fairness and objectivityD) possesses special private information and is sympathetic toward the subject32. The author cites the biographies of Jesus in the Bible in order to show that________.A) the best biographies are meant to transform their readersB) biographies are authentic accounts of their subjects’ livesC) the best biographies are the of heroes and famous figuresD) biographies can serve different purpose33. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A) An authentic biography seldom appeals to its readers.B) An authentic biography is one authorized by the subject.C) No one can write a perfect biography.D) Authorized biographies have a wider readership.34. An unauthorized biography is likely to attract more readers because ________.A) it portrays the subject both faithfully and vividlyB) it contains interesting information about the subject’s private lifeC) it reveals a lot of accurate details unknown to outsidersD) it usually gives a sympathetic description of the subject’s character35. In this passage, the author focuses on ________.A) the difficulty of a biographer in finding the proper perspective to do his jobB) the secret of a biographer to win more readersC) the techniques required of a biographer to write a food biographyD) the characteristics of different kinds of biographiesQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Whether the eyes are “the windows of the soul” is debatable, that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby’s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes then the face will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye then the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother’s back, infants to not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals t hat the “proper place to focus one’s gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one’s conversation partner.”The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves-to glance away only briefly. It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the `precise moment when the speaker reestablishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, falsestarts, and unpredictable pauses.36. The author is convinced that the eyes are ________.A) of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideasB) something through which one can see a person’s inner worldC) of considerable significance in making conversations interestingD) something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate37. Babies will not be stimulated to smile by a person ________.A) whose front view is fully perceivedB) whose face is covered with a maskC) whose face is seen from the sideD) whose face is free of any covering38. According to the passage, the Japanese fix their gaze on their conversation partner’sneck because ________.A) they don’t like to keep their eyes on the face of the speakerB) they need not communicate through eye contactC) they don’t think it polite to have eye contactD) they didn’t have much opportunity to communicate through eye contact inbabyhood39. According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break downdue to ________.A) one temporarily glancing away from the otherB) eye contact of more than one secondC) improperly-timed ceasing of eye contactD) constant adjustment of eye contact40. To keep a conversation flowing smoothly, it is better for the participants ________.A) not to wear dark spectaclesB) not to make any interruptionsC) not to glance away from each otherD) not to make unpredictable pausesPart III Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this pert.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions orcomplete the statements is the fewest possible word.I once knew a dog named Newton who had a unique sense of humour. Whenever I tossed out a Frisbee for him to chase, he’d take off in hot pursuit but then seem to lose track of it. Moving back and forth only a yard of two from the toy, Newton would look all around, even up into the trees. He seemed genuinely puzzled. Finally, I’d give up and head into the field to help him out. But no sooner would I get within 10 ft. Of him than he would run invariably straight over to the Frisbee, grab it and start running like mad, looking over his shoulder with what looked suspiciously like a grin.Just about every pet owner has a story like this and is eager to share it with anyone who will listen. On very short notice, TIME reporters cam up with 25 stories about what each is convinced is the smartest pet in the world. Among them: the cat who closes the door behind him when he goes into the bathroom; the cat who uses a toilet instead of a litter box... and flushes it afterward; the dog who goes wild when he sees his owner putting on blue jeans instead of a dress because jeans mean it is time to play; and the cat who used to wait patiently at the bus stop every day for a little girl, then walk her the six blocks home. And so on.These behaviours are certainly clever, but what do they mean? Was Newton really deceiving? Can a cat really desire privacy in the toilet? In short, do household pets really have a mental and emotional life? Their owners think so, but until recently, animal-behaviour exports would have gone mad on hearing such a question. The worst sin in the worst sin in their moral vocabulary was anthropomorphism, projecting human traits onto animals. A dog or a cat might behave as if it were angry, lonely, sad, happy or confused, but that was only in the eye of the viewer. What was going on, they insisted was that the dog or cat had been conditioned, through a perhaps unintentional series of punishments and rewards, the behave certain way. The behaviour was a mechanical result of the training.71. What did Newton seem puzzled about?72. Why does the author say Newton had unique sense of humour?73. What made it possible for the TIME reporters to come up with so many interestingstories about pets?74. What belief about pet behaviour was unacceptable to experts of animal behaviour?。

The most common age without parents’ consent is 18 for both females and males. However, persons who are under age in their home state can get married in another state, and then return to the home state legally married. Each state issues its own marriage license. Both residents and non-residents are qualified for such a license. The fees and ceremonies vary greatly from state to state. Most states, for instance, have a blood test requirement, but a few do not. Most states permit either a civil or religious ceremony, but a few require the ceremony to be religious. In most states a waiting period is required before the license is issued. This period is from one to five days depending on the state. A three-day-wait is the most common. In some states there is no required waiting period.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION (20 MIN)Directions: In Sections A, B and C you will hear everything ONCE ONLY.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.

Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch (键盘打孔) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off (向…透露) the company that was being robbed.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, theirdemands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (耍弄) the most confidential records right under the noses of the company’s executives, a accountant, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.21.I t can be concluded from the passage that ________.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutionsC) computer criminals can escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD) people commit computer crimes at the request their company(C)22.I t is implied in the third paragraph that ________.A) many more computer crimes go undetected than are discoveredB) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their bad luck(A)23.W hich of the following is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.C) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.(D)24.W hat may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They will be denied access to confidential records.C) They may walk away and easily find another job.D) They must leave the country or go to jail.(C)25.T he passage is mainly about ________.A) why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspectionsB) why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentC) how computer criminals manage to get good recommendation from their former employersD) why computer crimes can’t be eliminated(C)Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society where there is an enormousdemand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium (铀) in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish tosurvive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programmes are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.26.T he writer’s attitude toward nuclear energy is ________.A) indifferentB) favorableC) tolerantD) negative(D)27.A ccording to the opponents of nuclear energy, which of the following is true of nuclear energy?A) PrimitiveB) ExhaustibleC) CheapD) Unsafe(D)28.S ome people claim that nuclear energy is essential because ________.A) it provides a perfect solution to mass unemploymentB) it represents an enormous step forward in our scientific evolutionC) it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing societyD) nuclear power stations can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff(C)29.W hich of the following statements does the writer support?A) The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.B) Nuclear energy is something we cannot do without.C) Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological reasons.D) Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion of nuclear energy programmes.(A)30.T he function of the last sentence is to ________.A) advance the final argumentB) reflect the writer’s attitudeC) reverse previously expressed thoughtsD) show the disadvantages of nuclear power(B)Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer’s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people’s impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle class man or woman may be alienated (疏远…) by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person’s education, background, or interests.People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And collage students who view themselves as taking an active role in their inter-personal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we act ed. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.In the workplace, men have long had well defined precedents androle models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of “masculine” and “feminine” attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that avail able for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less “feminine” grooming (打扮)-shorter hair, moderate use of make up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, “An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won’t get a job.”31.A ccording to the passage, the way we dress ________.A) provides clues for people who are critical of usB) indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a careerC) has a direct influence on the way people regard usD) is of particular importance when we get on in age(C)32.F rom the third paragraph of the passage, we can conclude that young adults tend to believe that certain types of clothing can ________.A) change people’s conservative attitudes toward their lifestyleB) help young people make friends with the opposite sexC) make them competitive in the job marketD) help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships(D)33.T he word “precedent” (Line 1, Para. 4) probably refers to ________.A) early acts for men to follow as examplesB) particular places for men to occupy especially because of their importanceC) things that men should agree uponD) men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided(A)34.A ccording to the passage, many career women find themselves in difficult situations because ________.A) the variety of professional clothing is too wide for them to chooseB) women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion modelsC) men are more favorably judged for managerial positionsD) they are not sure to what extent they should display their feminine qualities through clothing(D)35.W hat is the passage mainly about?A) Dressing for effect.B) How to dress appropriately.C) Managerial positions and clothing.D) Dressing for the occasion.(A)Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone’s experience in the organization.Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Coleman is black. He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT&T, Coca Cola, Prudential, and Merch. Coleman says that based on what he’s seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%, image, 30%; and exposure, a full 60%. Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won’t secure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales (障眼物) have dropped from their eyes. “Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs,” says Kaleel Jamison, a NewYork based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. “They think that if you work hard, you’ll get ahead—that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion.” She adds, “Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they’ve gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down (使不突出) their visibility.” Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight.36.A ccording to the passage, “things formerly judged to be best left unsaid” (Line 2, Para. 1) probably refers to “________”.A) criticisms that shape everyone’s experienceB) the opinions which contradict the established beliefsC) the tendencies that help the newcomers to see office matters with a fresh eyeD) the ideas which usually come up with usually come up with new ways of management in the organization(B)37.T o achieve success in your career, the most important factor, according to the passage, is to ________.A) let your superiors know how good you areB) project a favorable image to the people around youC) work as a consultant to your superiorsD) perform well your tasks given by your superiors(A)38.T he reason why women and blacks play down their visibility is that they ________.A) know that someone in authority will reach down and give them a promotionB) want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefsC) don’t want people to think that their promotions were due to sex or colorD) believe they can get promoted by reason of their sex or color(C)39.T he author is of the opinion that Coleman’s beliefs are ________.A) biasedB) popularC) insightfulD) superficial(B)40.T he best title for this passage would be ________.A) Role of Women and Minorities in ManagementB) The Importance of Being VisibleC) Job Performance and AdvancementD) Sex and Career Success(B)Part III V ocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Joe Templer should have known better: after all, he works for a large auto insurance company. It won’t hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self service gas station. But moments latter as he was paying the money he saw the truck being driven away.In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States-one every 20 seconds. If current trends continue, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars a re smuggled out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East andEurope.Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation (缓刑), not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state’s 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state’s auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.How can you protect your car? If you live in a high theft area or drive an expensive model, consider a security system. It may cost anywhere from $25 to $1,000. Some systems engage automatically simply removing the key disables the fuel pump and the starter. When cars are equipped with such systems, thefts may drop by one third. In some states, you may be able to use a device that transmits radio signals, allowing stolen cars to be tracked by police.Questions:71.W hat is the passage mainly about?______________________________________________________ __________.72.W hat does the author think Joe Templer should be blamed for?______________________________________________________ __________.73.H ow serious did the author predict the annual vehicle theft could in the United States in 1989?______________________________________________________ __________.74.W hat are the two ways thieves sell the stolen cars?______________________________________________________ __________.75.W hat type of security system can help the police track down a stolen car?______________________________________________________ __________.Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Haste Makes Waste.

1997年英语专业八级考试真题及答案(9)TEXT D短文大意:本文介绍了智利在发展旅游业方面所面临的问题。
26.答案:A【参考译文】什么是影响智利旅游业提高的不利因素?【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第一段首句说“The biggest problem facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist destination to be reckoned with, is that it is at the end of the earth.”,此话告诉我们,智利在旅游业开发方面遇到的障碍是它位于地球末端。
由此可知,地理位置是智利旅游业发展的不利因素。
故选项A(地理位置)为正确答案。
27.答案:B【参考译文】智利过去好多游客不是来自下列哪一地方?【试题分析】本题为细节推理题。
【详细解答】短文第二段第二句说“But it is succeeding, not only in existing markets like the USA and Western Europe but in new territories,in particular the FarEast.”这里是说,现在智利不仅在老市场,如美国和西欧,吸引更多游客,而且在新地区,特别是远东地区也成功地吸引一批游客。
由此可知,智利过去游客来自美国与西欧,而远东是新开辟的市场。
因此选项B(远东地区)为正确答案。
28.答案:C【参考译文】根据作者的观点,什么是智利最吸引人的地方?【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第五段通过具体例子说明了它的许多吸引处,但第六段提出:“But the trump card is the Andes mountain range.”这与选项C的意思一致,故答案选C。
29.答案:B【参考译文】根据该短文,智利正在哪一方面进行改进?【试题分析】本题为细节题。

Then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets. (40 points)Passage 1It was 3: 45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal考拉进阶authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group’s on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death—probably by a deadly injection or pill—to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks, ” he says.11. From the second paragraph we learn that .[A ] the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries[B ] physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia[C ] changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law[D ] it takes time to realize the significance of the law’s passage12.

To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world.The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing.” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate” cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “friend”, the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.15. In the eyes of visitors from the outside world ,.[A ] rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US[B ] small-minded officials deserve a serious comment[C ] Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors[D ] most Americans are ready to offer help 16. It could be inferred from the last paragraph that .[A ] culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship[B ] courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated[C ] various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends[D ] social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions 17. Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers .考拉进阶[A ] to improve their hard life[B ] in view of their long-distance travel[C ] to add some flavor to their own daily life[D ] out of a charitable impulse 18. The tradition of hospitality to strangers .[A ] tends to be superficial and artificial[B ] is generally well kept up in the United States[C ] is always understood properly[D ] has something to do with the busy tourist trailsPassage 3Technically, any substance other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a drug. Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts. They don’t realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco are also drugs. This is why the more neutral term substance is now used by many physicians and psychologists. The phrase “substance abuse” is often used instead of “drug abuse” to make clear that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine.We live in a society in which the medical and social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves. When do these socially acceptable and apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses? First of all, most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions. Repeated use of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence. Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance, with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect, and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.Drugs (substances) that affect the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior are known as psychoactive substances. Psychoactive substances are commonly grouped according to whether they are stimulants, depressants, or hallucinogens. Stimulants initially speed up or activate the central nervous system, whereas depressants slow it down. Hallucinogens have their primary effect on perception, distorting and altering it in a variety of ways including producing hallucinations. These are the substances often called psychedelic (from the Greek word meaning “mind-manifestation”) because they seemed to radically alter one’s state of consciousness.19. “Substance abuse”(Line 5, Paragraph 1) is preferable to “drug abuse” in that . [A ] substances can alter our bodily or mental functioning if illegally used[B ] “drug abuse” is only related to a limited number of drugtakers[C ] alcohol and tobacco are as fatal as heroin and cocaine[D ] many substances other than heroin or cocaine can also be poisonous 20. The word “pervasive” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean .[A ] widespread [B ] overwhelming[C ] piercing [D ] fashionable考拉进阶21. Physical dependence on certain substances results from .[A ] uncontrolled consumption of them over long periods of time[B ] exclusive use of them for social purposes[C ] quantitative application of them to the treatment of diseases[D ] careless employment of them for unpleasant symptoms 22. From the last paragraph we can infer that .[A ] stimulants function positively on the mind[B ] hallucinogens are in themselves harmful to health[C ] depressants are the worst type of psychoactive substances[D ] the three types of psychoactive substances were commonly used in groupsPassage 4No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of a nation. “Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers?” Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week. “You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?” At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul-searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. It’s a self-examination that has, at various times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line.At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over for the late Steve Ross in 1992. On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company’s mountainous debt, which will increase to $ 17.3 billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company, but investors are waiting impatiently.The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him. Levin has consistently defended the company’s rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-T’s violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet. “The test of any democratic society, ”he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, “lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won’t retreat in the face of any threats.”Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard-line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month’s stockholders’ meeting, Levin asserted that “music is not the cause of society’s ills” and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. But he talked as well about the “balanced struggle” between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.The 15-member Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say several of them have shown their concerns in this matter. “Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited, ” says Luce. “I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this.”考拉进阶 23. Senator Robert Dole criticized Time Warner for .[A ] its raising of the corporate stock price[B ] its self-examination of soul[C ] its neglect of social responsibility[D ] its emphasis on creative freedom24. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?[A ] Luce is a spokesman of Time Warner.[B ] Gerald Levin is liable to compromise.[C ] Time Warner is united as one in the face of the debate.[D ] Steve Ross is no longer alive 25. In face of the recent attacks on the company, the chairman .[A ] stuck to a strong stand to defend freedom of expression[B ] softened his tone and adopted some new policy[C ] changed his attitude and yielded to objection[D ] received more support from the 15-member board 26. The best title for this passage might be .[A ] A Company under Fire [B ] A Debate on Moral Decline[C ] A Lawful Outlet of Street Culture [D ] A Form of Creative FreedomPassage 5Much of the language used to describe monetary policy, such as “steering the economy to a soft landing” or “a touch on the brakes”, makes it sound like a precise science. Nothing could be further from the truth. The link between interest rates and inflation is uncertain. And there are long, variable lags before policy changes have any effect on the economy. Hence the analogy that likens the conduct of monetary policy to driving a car with a blackened windscreen, a cracked rear-view mirror and a faulty steering wheel.Given all these disadvantages, central bankers seem to have had much to boast about of late. Average inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2.3% last year, close to its lowest level in 30 years, before rising slightly to 2.5% this July. This is a long way below the double-digit rates which many countries experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s.It is also less than most forecasters had predicted. In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America’s inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995. In fact, it fell to 2.6% in August, and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year. This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America’s, have little productive slack. America’s capacity utilisation, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment—the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.考拉进阶Why has inflation proved so mild? The most thrilling explanation is, unfortunately, a little defective. Some economists argue that powerful structural changes in the world have up-ended the old economic models that were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.27. From the passage we learn that .[A ] there is a definite relationship between inflation and interest rates[B ] economy will always follow certain models[C ] the economic situation is better than expected[D ] economists had foreseen the present economic situation28. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?[A ] Making monetary policies is comparable to driving a car.[B ] An extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation.[C ] A high unemployment rate will result from inflation.[D ] Interest rates have an immediate effect on the economy. 29. The sentence “This is no flash in the pan” (Line 5, Paragraph 3) means that . [A ] the low inflation rate will last for some time[B ] the inflation rate will soon rise[C ] the inflation will disappear quickly[D ] there is no inflation at present 30.

Your translation must be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points)Do animals have rights? This is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground-clearing way to start.(31)Actually, it isn’t, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows that animals have none.(32)Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. Therefore animals cannot have rights. The idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd, for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this is only one account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies rights not only to animals but also to some people—for instance, to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations. In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented to it: how do you reply to somebody who says “ I don’t like this contract”?The point is this: without agreement on the rights of people, arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless.(33)It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all. This is a false choice. Better to start with another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all?考拉进阶Many deny it.(34)Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. Any regard for the suffering of animals is seen as a mistake—a sentimental displacement of feeling that should properly be directed to other humans.This view, which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely “logical”. In fact it is simply shallow: the confused centre is right to reject it. The most elementary form of moral reasoning—the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl—is to weigh other’s interests against one’s own. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without which there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy.(35)When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind’s instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.Section Ⅳ Writing (15 points)36.
