Passage translationSection A English to ChineseThe Literature of Knowledge and the Literature of Power (Excerpt)By Thomas de QuincyWhat is it that we mean by literature? Popularly, and amongst the thoughtless, it is held toinclude everything that is printed in a book. Little logic is required to disturb that definition. The most thoughtless person is easily made aware that in the idea of literature one essential element is some relation to a general and common interest of man—so that what applies only to a local, or professional, or merely personal interest, even though presenting itself in the shape of a book, will not belong to Literature. So far the definition is easily narrowed; and it is as easily expanded. For not only is much that takes a station in books not literature; but inversely, much that really is literature never reaches a station in books. The weekly sermons of Christendom, that vast pulpit literature which acts so extensively upon the popular mind—to warn, to uphold, to renew, to comfort, to alarm—does not attain the sanctuary of libraries in the ten-thousandth part of its extent. The Drama again—as, for instance, the finest of Shakespeare’s plays in England, and all leading Athenian plays in the noontide of the Attic stage—operated as a literature on the public mind, and were (according to the strictest letter of that term) published through the audiences that witnessed their representation some time before they were published as things to be read; and they were published in this scenical mode of publication with much more effect than they could have had as books during ages of costly copying or of costly printing.参考译文:我们所说的“文学”是什么呢?人们，尤其是对此欠考虑者，普遍会认为：文学包括印在书本中的一切。

Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on " persuasive salesmanship" to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then to convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction—the firm and the customer—and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!31.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, ______.（A）a form of persuasive salesmanship（B）the customer-centred approach（C）making goods available for purchase（D）the practice of turning goods into money32.What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?（A）The needs of the market.（B）The preferences of the dealer.（C）The efficiency of production.（D）The satisfaction of the user.33.According to Paragraph One, "to move as much of these goods as possible" means______.（A）to redesign these goods for large-scale production（B）to transport goods as efficiently as possible（C）to sell the largest possible amount of goods（D）to dispose of these goods in large quantities34.What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?（A）Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.（B）Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.（C）It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.（D）Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.35.In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on______.（A）its social impact（B）its theoretical basis（C）its possible consequence（D）its main characteristicMost of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information , but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don't always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don't mean anything except " I'm letting off some steam. I don't really want you to pay close attention to what I'm saying. Just pay attention to what I'm feeling. " Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, " This step has to be fixed before I'll buy. " The owner says, " It's been like that for years. " Actually, the step hasn't been like that for years, but the unspoken message is: "I don't want to fix it. We put up with it. Why can't you?" The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was said.The time when a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But onecouple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior. A friend's unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says " No!" to a series of charges like " You're dumb," "You're lazy," and "You're dishonest," may also say "No|" and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is "And you're good looking.We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, " It sure has been nice to have you over," can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.36.Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners,if______.（A）they use proper words to carry their ideas（B）they both speak truly of their own feelings（C）they try to understand each other's ideas beyond words（D）they are capable of associating meaning with their words37."I'm letting off some steam" in Paragraph One means______.（A）I'm just calling your attention（B）I'm just saying what I don't really want to say（C）I'm just saying the opposite（D）I'm just giving off some sound38.The house-owner's example shows that he actually means______.（A）the step has been like that for years（B）he doesn't think it necessary to fix the step（C）the condition of the step is only a minor fault（D）the cost involved in the fixing should be shared39.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiableif______.（A）linked to an abnormal amount of assertiveness（B）seen as one's habitual pattern of behavior（C）taken as a developing pattern of responses（D）expressed to a series of charges40.The word " ritualistically" in the last paragraph equals something done______. （A）without true intention（B）light-heartedly（C）in a way of ceremony（D）with less emphasisThe establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The compete destruction of democracy, the persecution of Jews, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis, and especially the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war.While speaking out against Hitler's atrocities, the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality.The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion.American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's " quarantine the aggressor" speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies. Germany's seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also aroused the American people.The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March, 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich. In August, 1939 came the shock of the Nazi-Soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war.The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted "cash and carry" exports of arms to belligerent nations.A strong national defense program began.A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend-Lease Act (1941) authorized the President to sell, exchange, or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere. In August 1940, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war.In December 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor. Immediately thereafter, Germany declared war on the United States. 41.One item occurring before 1937 that the author does NOT mention in his list of actions that alienated the American public was______.（A）the burning of the Reichstag（B）German plans for conquest（C）Nazi barbarism（D）the persecution of religious groups42.The Lend-Lease Act was designed to______.（A）help the British（B）strengthen the national defense of the United States（C）promote the Atlantic Charter（D）avenge Pearl Harbor43.American policy during the years 1935 ~ 1936 may be described as being______. （A）watchful（B）isolationist（C）peaceful（D）indifferent44.The Neutrality Act of 1939______.（A）permitted the selling of arms to belligerent nations（B）antagonized Japan（C）permitted the British to trade only with the Allies（D）led to Lend-Lease Act45.The United States entered the war against Germany ______.（A）because Germany declared war（B）because Japan was an ally of Germany（C）after Germany had signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact（D）after peaceful efforts had failedA controversy erupted in the scientific community in early 1998 over the use of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fingerprinting in criminal investigations. DNA fingerprinting was introduced in 1987 as a method to identify individuals based on a pattern seen in their DNA, the molecule of which genes are made. DNA is present in every cell of the body except red blood cells.DNA fingerprinting has been used successfully in various ways, such as to determine paternity where it is not clear who the father of a particular child is. However, it is in the area of criminal investigations that DNA fingerprinting has potentially powerful and controversial uses. DNA fingerprinting and other DNA analysis techniques have revolutionized criminal investigations by giving investigators powerful new tools in the attempt to prove guilt, not just establish innocence. When used in criminal investigations, a DNA fingerprint pattern from a suspect is compared with a DNA fingerprint pattern obtained from such materials as hairs or blood found at the scene of a crime. A match between the two DNA samples can be used as evidence to convict a suspect.The controversy in 1998 stemmed from a report published in December 1991 by population geneticists Richard C. Lewontin of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. , and Daniel L. Haiti called into question the methods to calculate how likely it is that a match between two DNA fingerprints might occur by chance a-lone. In particular, they argued that the current method cannot properly determine the likelihood that two DNA samples will match because they came from the sameindividual rather than simply from two different individuals who are members of the same ethnic group.In response to their criticisms, population geneticists Ranajit Chakraborty of the University of Texas in Dallas and Kenneth K. Kidd of Yale University in New Haven, Conn. , argued that enough data are already available to show that the methods currently being used are adequate. In January 1998, however, the federal Bureau of Investigation and laboratories that conduct DNA tests announced that they would collect additional DNA samples from various ethnic groups in an attempt to resolve some of these questions. And, in April, a National Academy of Sciences called for strict standards and system of accreditation for DNA testing laboratories.46.Before DNA fingerprinting is used, suspects______.（A）would have to leave their fingerprints for further investigations（B）would have to submit evidence for their innocence（C）could easily escape conviction of guilt（D）could be convicted of guilt as well47.DNA fingerprinting can be unreliable when______.（A）the methods used for blood-cell calculation are not accurate（B）two different individuals of the same ethnic group may have the same DNA fingerprinting pattern（C）a match is by chance left with fingerprints that happen to belong to two different individuals（D）two different individuals leave two DNA samples48.To geneticists like Lewontin and Hartl, the current method______.（A）is not so convincing as to exclude the likelihood that two DNA samples can never come from two individuals（B）is arguable because two individuals of the same ethnic group are likely to have the same DNA pattern（C）is not based on adequate scientific theory of genetics（D）is theoretically contradictory to what they have been studying49.The attitude of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that______.（A）enough data are yet to be collected from various ethnic groups to confirm the unlikelihood of two DNA samples coming from two individual members（B）enough data of DNA samples should be collected to confirm that only DNA samples from the same person can match（C）enough data are yet to be collected from various ethnic groups to determine the likelihood of two different DNA samples coming from the same person（D）additional samples from various ethnic groups should be collected to determine that two DNA samples are unlikely to come from the same person50.National Academy of Sciences holds the stance that______.（A）DNA testing should be systematized（B）only authorized laboratories can conduct DNA testing（C）the academy only is authorized to work out standards for testing（D）the academy has the right to accredit laboratories for DNA testing How to answer interview questions?To start, take a tip from consultants who coach executives on how to handle media interviews. They say you can deliver the message you want to an employer, regardless of the question you're asked."Unlike some politicians, who take no notice of press questions and immediately introduce a different topic in response, job candidates must answer employers' queries," says John Barford of the interview training firm Genesis. "However, you can quickly make the transition from your answer to the important points you want to convey about your qualifications," he says.He advises candidates at job interviews to apply the formula Q = A + 1 : Q is the question; A is the answer; + is the,fridge to the message you want to deliver; and 1 is the point you want to make.Diligent preparation is also necessary to effectively answer any interview question, say senior executives. They give a number of useful tips: -Learn as much as you can beforehand. Ask company employees questions prior to job interviews to gain as much insight as you can. If the company is publiclyowned, find out how viable it is by reading shareholder reports. You can then tailor what you say to the company's issues.Be prepared for questions that require you to show how you handled difficult challenges. These questions require stories in response, but as it's unlikely that you'll have one that fits every situation, try to recall some from your past experience that show how you coped with a range of issues.Count on being asked about a past mistake or blemish on your career record, and don't try to dodge the issue. Ms. Murphy, president of the Murphy Group, a media interview training firm, says that it's important to steer clear of lies at all costs. Just answer the question and move on.When discussing a mistake, focus on the positive outcomes. " You learn as much by dropping the ball as you do by catching it," says senior executive Mr. Friedmann. When he was being interviewed for his current job, he mentioned he had been involved in many successful turnarounds and one that failed. " And I said how I'd benefited in many ways from going through that experience," he says.Answer the following questions, using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the text for each answer.51.According to the writer, what do some politicians ignore?52.To allow them to communicate their main points, what are interviewees recommended to follow?53.From whom do senior executives advise candidates to request information before an interview?54.What does the head of an interview training firm advise people to avoid telling?55.What do senior executives advise candidates to focus on when talking about a past mistake?写作---为题目类型56.Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology.

How Technology Affects Human RelationshipsIt’s great that we have the technology to connect with people across the globe instantly, but there’s also a sense of disconnection. If there’s an internet-capable device with a screen anywhere nearby, the immediate world doesn’t get our full attention. Therefore, the long-term impact of technology on personal interactions is not a positive trend.Technology makes conversations context shortage. One issue with technology and relationships is the inability to detect tone. I can’t really know when someone is being sarcastic, serious or joking. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered what someone meant by their words—whether on social media, in a text or over email. Unless I see the person’s face, hear their voice and understand the environment, I have no idea the context surrounding the written words. Misunderstandings, miscommunications and assumptions result, which have an impact on how we view others.Technology fails to deliver essential personal touch. Sometimes I just need a hug, a handshake or a pat on the back. Once in a while, I get "stickers" and "emojis" on social media. Those symbol or smiley face is cute, but it doesn’t make me feel a personal connection with the poster. Do you use technology to pet your dog or cat? Not likely. Sometimes we fail to realize that, as humans, we’re also animals that need personal touch.Technology-addiction can lead to cocooning. For addicting to the convenience brought by technology, some people stay at home and become mouse potato. Technology takes them out of the physical world. And like many addictions, there are serious implications on number and quality of human relationships. Conversations through social media and email take the place of traditional interactions and discussions; eventually, a person doesn’t need to leave the house to communicate with others. This phenomenon leads to social isolation that can be crippling for some people.All in all, technology paints a pretty gloomy picture on human interaction. But it teaches us the value of balancing our offline and online communications with others. I believe the best approach is to use technology appropriately, so that it supplements our relationships rather than replaces them.。

Passage translationSection A English to ChineseAll parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like a clean glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair. Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother’sapproval, a father’s nod—are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand: their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.Through it all, despite it all, Eddie privately adored his old man, because sons will adore their fathers through even the worst behavior. It is how they learn devotion. Before he can devote himself to God or a woman, a boy will devote himself to his father, even foolishly, even beyond explanation.参考译文:所有的父母都会伤害孩子。

The conference will be told that they should learn how Shakespearian characters like Puck in AMidsummer Night‟s Dream are “jolly characters” and how to write about them.At present, the national curriculum does not require pupils to approach Shakespeare until secondary school. All it says is that pupils should study “texts drawn from a variety of cultures and traditions” and “myths, legends and traditional stories”.However, educationists at the RSC believe children will gain a better appreciation ofShakespeare if they are introduced to him at a much younger age. “Even very young children can enjoy Shakespeare‟s plays,” said MaryJohnson, head of the learning department. “It is just a question of pitching it for the age group. Even reception classes and key stage one pupils (five-to-seven-year-olds) can enjoy his stories.” For instance, if you build up Puck as a character who skips, children of that age can enjoy the character. They can be inspired by Puck and they could even start writing about him at that age.It is the RSC‟s belief that building the Bard up as a fun playwrightin primary school could counter some of the negative images conjured up about teaching Shakespeare in secondary schools. Then, pupils have to concentrate on scenes from the plays to answer questions for compulsory English national-curriculum tests for 14-year-olds. Critics of the tests have complained that pupils no longer have the time to study or read the whole play—and therefore lose interest in Shakespeare.However, Ms. Johnson is encouraging teachers to present 20-minute versions of the plays—a classroom version of the Reduced ShakespeareCompany‟s Complete Works of Shakespeare(Abridged) which told his 37 plays in 97 minutes—to give pupils a flavor of the whole drama.The RSC‟s venture coincides with a call for schools to allow pupilsto be more creative in writing about Shakespeare. Professor Kate McLuskie, the new director of the University of Birmingham‟sShakespeare Institute—also based in Stratford—said it was time to get away from the idea that there was “a right answer” to any question about Shakespeare. Her first foray into the world of Shakespeare was to berate him as a misogynist in a 1985 essay but she now insists this should not be interpreted as a criticism of hisworks—although she admits: “I probably wouldn‟t have written itquite the same way if I had been writing it now. What we should be doing is making sure that someone is getting something out of Shakespeare.” she said. “People are very scared about getting theright answer. I know it‟s different but I don‟t care if they come up with a right answer that I can agree with about Shakespeare.”1.What is this passage mainly concerned with?A. How to give pupils a flavor of Shakespeare drama.118B.The fun of reading Shakespeare.C.RSC project will teach children how to write on Shakespeare.D. RSC project will help four-year-old children find the fun in Shakespeare.2.What‟s Puck‟s characteristic according to your understanding of thepassage?A.Rude, rush and impolite.B.Happy, interesting and full of fun.C.Dull, absurd and ridiculous.D.Shrewd, cunning and tricky.3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.RSC insists on teaching Shakespeare from the secondary school.B.Pupils should study “texts drawn from a variety of cultures and traditions” required by the national curriculum.C.The national curriculum does not require pupils to approach Shakespeare until secondary school now.D.RSC believes children will gain a better appreciation of Shakespeare if they are introduced tohim at a much younger age.4.Ms. Johnson encourages teachers to present 20-minute versions of the plays in order to ____.A.introduce them into the world of ShakespeareB.deal with the final examination on ShakespeareC.give pupils a flavor of the whole dramaD.strengthen the students with the knowledge of Shakespeare5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraph?A.Professor Kate McLuskie once scolded Shakespeare in her essay.B.Professor Kate McLuskie insisted on her view on Shakespeare till now.C.Professor Kate McLuskie has changed her idea now.D.Ms. Kate thinks it was time to get away from the idea that there was “a right answer” to any question about Shakespeare.Passage BSome believe that in the age of identikit computer games, mass entertainment and conformity on the supermarket shelves, truly inspired thinking has gone out of the window. But, there are others who hold the view that there is still plenty of scope for innovation, lateral thought and creative solutions. Despite the standardization of modern life, there is an unabated appetite for great ideas, visionary thinking and inspired debate. In the first of a series of monthly debates on contemporary issues, we ask two original thinkers to discuss the nature of creativity. Here is the first one.Yes. Absolutely. Since I started working as an inventor 10 or 12 years ago, I‟ve seen a big change in attitudes to creativity andinvention. Back then, there was hardly any support for inventors, apart from the national organization the Institute of Patentees andInventors. Today, there are lots of little inventors‟clubs popping up all over the place, my last count was 19 nationally and growing.These non-profit clubs, run by inventors for inventors, are an indication that people are once again interested in invention.119I‟ve been a project leader, a croupier, an IT consultant and I‟vewritten a motor manual. I spent my teens under a 1950s two-tone Riley RME car, learning to put it together. Back in the Sixties, kids like me were always out doing things, making go-karts, riding bicycles or exploring. We learned to overcome challenges and solve problems. Weweren‟t just sitting at a P1ayStation, like many kids do today.But I think, and hope, things are shifting back. There‟s a lot more interest in design and creativity and such talents are getting a much higher profile in the media. It‟s evident with TV programmes such asChannel4‟s Scrapheap Challenge or BBC2‟s The Apprentice and Dragon‟sDen, where people are given a task to solve or face the challenge of selling their idea to a panel.And, thankfully, the image of the mad scientist with electrified hair working in the garden shed is long gone—although, there are still a few exceptions!That‟s not to say there aren‟t problems. With the decline in manufacturing we are losing the ability to know how to make things. There‟s a real skills gap developing. In my opinion, theGovernment does little or nothing to help innovation at the lone-inventor or small or medium enterprise level. I would love to see more money spent on teaching our school kids how to be inventive. But, despite everything, if you have a good idea and real determination, you can still do very well.My own specialist area is packaging closures—almost every product needs it. I got the idea for Squeeze open after looking at an old tinof boot polish when my mother complained she couldn‟t get the lidoff. If you can do something cheaper, better, and you are 100 percent committed, there is a chance it will be a success.I see a fantastic amount of innovation and opportunities out there. People don`t realize how much is going on. New materials are coming out all the time and the space programme and scientific research areproducing a variety of spin-offs. Innovation doesn‟t have to be high-tech: creativity and inventing is about finding the right solution to a problem, whatever it is. There‟s a lot of talent out there and, thankfully, some of the more progressive companies are suddenly realizing they don‟t want to miss out—it‟s an exciting time.1.What is the debate concerned with?A.What should we do to inspire people‟s creativity?B.Will people‟s invention and inspiration be exhausted in the future?C.Is there still a future for invention and inspiration?D.Who will be winner of the future technology?2.According to the opinion of the interviewer ____.A.the future for invention dependsB.there is still a future for invention and inspirationC.there is no future for invention and inspiration in modern societyD.the future for invention and inspiration is unclear03. Which of the following is NOT true about the kids in the sixties? 120A. Out doing things, making go-karts.B. Riding bicycle and exploring.C.Sitting before computers to play games.D.Like to overcome challenges and solve problems.4.Which of the following is the suggestion of the interviewer to the problem?A.The government should spend more money helping innovation.B.The kids should cultivate their love of science and invention.C.More inventors‟ clubs should be set up.D.Invention courses are necessary to children.5.What‟s the central idea of the last paragraph?A.We should miss out the exciting time.B.A variety of spin-offs are produced by the scientific research.C. The nature of innovation.D. The nature of talent.Passage CFor the executive producer of a network nightly news programme, the workday often begins at midnight as mine did during seven years withABC‟s evening newscast. The first order of business was a call to theassignment desk for a pre-bedtime rundown of latest developments.The assignment desk operates 24 hours a day, staffed by editors who move crews, correspondents and equipment to the scene of events. Assignment-desk editors are logistics experts; they have to know plane schedules, satellite availability, and whom to get in touch with at local stations and overseas broadcasting systems. They are required to assess stories as they break on the wire services—sometimes even before they do—and to decide how much effort to make to cover those stories.When the United States was going to appeal to arms against Iraq, the number of correspondents and crews was constantly evaluated. Based on reports from the field and also upon the skilled judgments of desk editors in New York City, the right number of personnel was kept on the alert. The rest were allowed to continue working throughout the world, in America and Iraq ready to move but not tied down by false alarms.The studio staff of ABC‟s “World News Tonight” assembles at 9 a.m.to prepare for the 6:30 “air” p.m. deadline. Overnight dispatches from outlying bureaus and press services are read. There are phoneconversations with the broadcast‟s staff producers in domestic bureaus and with theLondon bureau senior producer, who coordinates overseas coverage. Apattern emerges for the day‟s news, a pattern outlined in the executive producer‟s first lineup. The lineup tells the staff whatstories are scheduled; what the priorities are for processing film of editing tape; what scripts need to be written; what commercials are scheduled; how long stories should run and in what order. Without a lineup, there would be chaos.Each story‟s relative value in dollars and cents must be continuallyassessed by the executive producer. Cutting back satellite booking to save money might mean that an explanation delivered by an anchor person will replace actual photos of an event. A decline in live coverage could send121viewers away and drive ratings down, but there is not enough money to do everything. So decisions must be made and made rapidly—because delay can mean a missed connection for shipping tape or access to a satellite blocked by a competitor.The broadcasts themselves require pacing and style. The audience has to be allowed to breathe between periods of intense excitement. A vivid pictorial report followed by less exacting materials allows the viewer to reflect on information that has just flashed by. Frequent switches from one anchor to another or from one film or tape report to another create a sense of forward movement. Ideally, leading and tags to stories are worked out with field correspondents, enablingthem to fit their reports into the programme‟s narrative flow so the audience‟s attention does not wander and more substance is absorbed.Scripts are constantly rewritten to blend well with incoming pictures. Good copy is crisp, informative. Our rule: the fewer words the better. If a picture can do the work, let it.1.What does the word “rundown” possibly mean?A.The rehearsal of tomorrow‟s programme.B.A working report or summary to his superior or head.C.An explanation of the programme.D.Preparation for the programme.02. What is the function of the third paragraph?A.To lustrate the important role and function of the assignment desk.B.To give us a brief introduction of their working conditions.C.To exemplify the cooperation of all sections in the company.D.To emphasize the mission of the correspondent.3.All the following can be employed to make the report more effective EXCEPT ____.A.providing more vivid pictures and detailsB.changing the style to cater for the audience‟s appetiteC.more live coverage to replace the linguistic explanationD.interval shifts of the materials of the coverage04. What will the executive producer mostly be concerned with?A. The cost and the effect. C. The audience‟s interest.B. The truth of the coverage. D. The form of the coverage.5.What is the text mainly about?A.Ways to cut down the cost of the coverage.B.How to make the report more attractive.C.To describe the work of the executive producer.D.To introduce the style and feature s of the news programme. Passage DIt‟s nothing new that English use is on the rise around the world, especially in business circles.122This also happens in France, the headquarters of the global battle against American cultural hegemony. If French guys are giving in to English, something really big must be going on. And something big is going on.Partly, it‟s that American hegemony. Dither Bench mol, CEO of aFrench e-commerce software company, feels compelled to speak English perfectly because the Internet software business is dominated by Americans. He and other French businessmen also have to speak English because they want to get their message out to American investors,possessors of the world‟s deepest pockets.The triumph of English in France and elsewhere in Europe, however, may rest on something mare enduring. As they become entwined with each other politically and economically, Europeans need a way to talk to one another and to the rest of the world. And for a number ofreasons, they‟ve decided upon English as their common tongue.So when German chemical and pharmaceutical company Hoechst merged with French competitor Rhone-Poulenc last year, the companies chose the vaguely Latinate Aventis as the new company name—and settled onEnglish as the company‟s common language. When monetary policymakersfrom around Europe began meeting at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt last year to set interest rates for the new Euro land, they held their deliberations in English. Even the European Commission, with 11 official languages and a traditionally French-speaking bureaucracy, effectively switched over to English as its working language last year.How did this happen? One school attributes English‟s great success to the sheer weight of its merit. It‟s a Germanic language, brought toBritain around the fifth century A. D. During the four centuries of French-speaking rule that followed Norman Conquest of 1966, the Language morphed into something else entirely. French words were added wholesale, and most of the complications of Germanic grammar were shed while few of the complications of French were added. The result is a language with a huge vocabulary and a simple grammar that can express most things more efficiently than either of its parents.What‟s more, English has remained ungoverned and open to change—foreign words, coinages, and grammatical shifts—in a way that French, ruled by the purist Academia Francoise, has not.So it‟s a swell language, especially for business. But the rise of English over the past few centuries clearly owes at least as much to history and economics as to the language‟s ability to economicallyexpress the concept win-win. What happened is that the competition—first Latin, then French, then, briefly, German—faded with the waning of the political, economic, and military fortunes of, respectively, the Catholic Church, France, and Germany. All along, English was increasing in importance: Britain was the birthplace ofthe Industrial Revolution, and London the world‟s most important financial center, which made English a key language for business. England‟s colonies around the world also made it the language with the most global reach. And as that former colony the U.S. rose to the status of the world‟s preeminent political, economic, military, and cultural power, English became the obvious second language to learn.In the 1990s more and more Europeans found themselves forced to useEnglish. The last generation of business and government leaders who hadn‟t studied English in school was leaving the123stage. The European Community was adding new members and evolving from a paper-shuffling club into a serious regional government that would need a single common language if it were ever to get anything done. Meanwhile, economic barriers between European nations have been disappearing, meaning that more and more companies are beginning to look at the whole continent as their domestic market. And then the Internet came along.The Net had two big impacts. One was that it was an exciting, potentially lucrative new industry that had its roots in the U.S., so if you wanted to get in on it, you had to speak some English. The other was that by surfing the Web, Europeans who had previously encountered English only in school and in pop songs were now coming into contact with it daily.None of this means English has taken over European life. According to the European Union, 47% of Western Europeans (including the British and Irish) speak English well enough to carry on a conversation.That‟s a lot more than those who can speak German (32%) or French (28%), but it still means more Europeans don‟t speak the language. Ifyou want to sell shampoo or cell phones, you have to do it in French or German or Spanish or Greek. Even the U. S. and British media companies that stand to benefit most from the spread of English have been hedging their bets—CNN broadcasts in Spanish; the Financial Times has recently launched a daily German-language edition.But just look at who speaks English: 77% of Western European college students, 69% of managers, and 65% of those aged 15 to 24. In thesecondary schools of the European Union‟s non-English-speaking countries, 91% of students study English, all of which means that thetransition to English as the language of European business hasn‟tbeen all that traumatic, and it‟s only going to get easier in the future.1.In the author‟s opinion, what really underlies the rising status of English in France and Europe is____.A.American dominance in the Internet software businessB.a practical need for effective communication among EuropeansC.Europeans‟ eagerness to do business with American businessmenD.the recent trend for foreign companies to merge with each other02. Europeans began to favor English for all the following reasons EXCEPT its ____.A. inherent linguistic properties C. links with the United StatesB. association with the business world D. disassociation from political changes3.Which of the following statements forecasts the continuous rise of English in the future?A.About half of Western Europeans are now proficient in English.B.U. S. and British media companies are operating in Western Europe.C.Most secondary school students in Europe study English.D.Most Europeans continue to use their own language.04. The passage has discussed the rise in English use on the Continent from the following perspectives EXCEPT ____.A. economicsB. national security124C.the emergence of the InternetD.the changing functions of the European Community5.The passage mainly examines the factors related to ____.A.the rising status of English in EuropeB.English learning in non-English-speaking E.U. nationsC.the preference for English by European businessmenD.the switch from French to English in the European Commission Passage EThe role of governments in environmental management is difficult inescapable. Sometimes, the state tries to manage the resources it owns, and does so badly. Often, however, governments act in an even more harmful way. They actually subsidize the exploitation and consumption of natural resources. A whole range of policies, from farm-price support to protection for coat-mining, do environmental damage and (often) make no economic sense. Scrapping them offers a two-fold bonus: a cleaner environment and a more efficient economy. Growth and environmentalism can actually go hand in hand, if politicians have the courage to confront the vested interest that subsidies create.No activity affects more of the earth‟s surface than farming. It shapes a third of the planet‟s land area, not counting Antarctica,and the proportion is rising. World food output per head has risen by 4 percent between the 1970s and I980s mainly as a result of increases in yields from land already in cultivation, but also because more land has been brought under the plough.All these activities may have damaging environmental impacts. For example, land clearing for agriculture is the largest single cause of deforestation; chemical fertilizers and pesticides may contaminate water supplies; more intensive farming and the abandonment of fallow periods tend to exacerbate soil erosion; and the spread of monoculture and use of high-yielding varieties of crops have been accompanied by the disappearance of old varieties of food plants which might have provided some insurance against pests or diseases in future. Soil erosion threatens the productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. The United States, where the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish thesoil‟s productivity. The country subsequently embarked upon aprogramme to convert 11 percent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster than in America.Government policies have frequently compounded the environmental damage that farming can cause. In the rich countries, subsidies for growing crops and price supports for farm output drive up the price of land. In the late 1980s and early 1990s some efforts were made to reduce farm subsidies. The most dramatic example was that of New Zealand, which scrapped most farm support in 1984. A study of the environmental effects, conducted in 1993, found that the end of fertilizer subsidies had been followed by a fall in fertilizer use (a fall compounded by the decline in world commodity prices, which cut farm incomes). The removal of subsidies also stopped land-clearing and overstocking, which in the past had been the principal causes of erosion. Farms began to diversify. The one kind of125subsidy whose removal appeared to have been bad for the environment was the subsidy to manage soil erosion.In less enlightened countries, and in the European Union, the trend has been to reduce rather than eliminate subsidies, and to introduce。

Please read the passages and then write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.An allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not a right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, and school supplies. "If you make the child responsible for these bills," says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, "he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures."Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child"s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers" can feel left out.It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. "If you lose your money," Brooke"s mother told her, "you walk home" One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. "Morn made me walk home," recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brooklyn. "At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson." Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child"s daily chores. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative.1. What does the text mainly discuss?A. How to develop a child"s initiativeB. How to work up an amount of pocket moneyC. How to teach a child to save moneyD. How to teach a child about money2. It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may ______.A. spend all the money very soonB. be spoiled and finally ruinedC. feel responsible and careful about moneyD. lose the money and cannot return home3. In Paragraph 3, the words "his peers" refer to ______.A. his parentsB. his teachersC. his financial expertsD. his friends4. Why does the author mention Brooke Stephens?A. To question the opinion about pocket moneyB. To compare Stephens with other financial expertsC. To explain that parents should be strict when developing children"s good habits about moneyD. To suggest that pocket money is useless in developing a child"s sense of responsibility5. The author implies in the passage that ______.A. paying children for their housework is no goodB. a child"s initiative can be developed if he or she is paid for all the houseworkC. children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket moneyD. children may learn to put aside some money if they are given a great amount of pocket money Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I"m going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning.The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite applications. In fact in any public space.Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can"t walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit ofgossip, a new read on a certain line ofParadise Lost.So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don"t dial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade.For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business: "Yes, I"m m glad you called, because we really need to think about the details. What"s that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right there."Be animated. Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eye contact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce department pinching unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you"d be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued lake foning with my doctor. "So I don"t need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news."And then: Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. "What is the matter with this thing? said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear."Hello? Are you still there?"Oops.6. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Cellphone service is popular among peopleB. Cellphone has much use in officeC. Fake foning is a new cellphone serviceD. Fake foning is a new discovery7. What is fake foning?A. A strategy to avoid peopleB. A device newly producedC. A service provided everywhereD. A skill of communication8. In the author"s opinion, in order to make fake foning look real one has to ______.A. talk about interesting mattersB. behave politely to people passing byC. hold the phone while walkingD. appear absorbed in conversation9. What does the last example show?A. One effective way is to fake fone one"s doctorB. One has to be careful while fake foningC. Fake foning may not deceive peopleD. Fake foning is always quite successful10. After his phone suddenly began ringing, the author ______.A. immediately started talking to the callerB. immediately started talking to his colleagueC. put the phone away and stopped talkingD. continued with his fake conversationWill there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn"t been born yet, or is a baby now. That"s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon.For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein"s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare.Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein"s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager—Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn"t long before he became a philosopher himself.The independence created by philosophical insight is—in my opinion—the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth, Einstein wrote in 1944.And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren"t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical—and rewarding—efforts."Maybe there is an Einstein out there today," said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, "butit would be a lot harder for him to be heard".Especially considering what Einstein was proposing."The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!" Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. "It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you"ll find the solution."Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his "miracle year" of 1905. These "thought experiments" were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physic by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations. What might happen to such a submission today?"We all get papers like those in the mail," Greene said. "We put them in the junk file."11. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs?A. Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limitsB. It will take another Einstein to build a unified theoryC. No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 yearsD. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges12. What was critical to Einstein"s success?A. His talent as an accomplished musicianB. His independent and abstract thinkingC. His untiring effort to fulfill his potentialD. His solid foundation in math theory13. What does the author tell us about physicists today?A. They tend to neglect training in analytical skillsB. They are very good at solving practical problemsC. They attach great importance to publishing academic papersD. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits14. What does Brian Greene imply by saying "... it would be a lot harder for him to be heard" (Para. 9)?A. People have to compete in order to get their papers publishedB. It is hard for a scientist to have his papers published todayC. Papers like Einstein"s would unlikely get published todayD. Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories15. When he submitted his papers in 1905, Einstein ______.A. forgot to make footnotes and citationsB. was little known in academic circlesC. was known as a young genius in math calculationsD. knew nothing about the format of academic papersI remember meeting him one evening with his pushcart. I had managed to sell all my papers and **ing home in the snow. It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight. I marched among thousands of tired men and women whom the factory whistles hadunyoked. They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts, then down along the avenues to the East Side.I met my father near Cooper Union. I recognized him, a hunched, frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart. He looked so lonely; the tears came to my eyes. Then he saw me, and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile—Charlie Chaplin s smile."Arch, it"s Mikey," he said. "So you have sold your papers! Come and eat a banana."He offered me one. I refused it. I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas, not give them away. He thought I was shy, and coaxed and joked with me, and made me eat the banana. It smelled of wet straw and snow."You haven"t sold many bananas today, pop," I said anxiously.He shrugged his shoulders."What can I do? No one seems to want them."It was true. The work crowds pushed home morosely over the pavements. The rusty sky darkened over New York building, the tall street lamps were lit, innumerable trucks, street cars and elevated trains clattered by. Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my father"s bananas."I ought to yell," said my father dolefully "I ought to make a big noise like other peddlers, but it makes my throat sore. Anyway, I"m ashamed of yelling, it makes me feel like a fool."I had eaten one of his bananas. My sick conscience told me that I ought to pay for it somehow. I must remain here and help my father."I"ll yell for you, pop" I volunteered."Arch, no" he said, "go home; you have worked enough today. Just tell momma I"ll be late."But I yelled and yelled. My father, standing by, spoke occasional words of praise, and said I was awonderful yeller. Nobody else paid attention. The workers drifted past us wearily, endlessly; a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home. Elevated trains crashed ; the Cooper Union clock burned above us; the sky grew black, the wind poured, the slush burned through our shoes. There were thousands of strange, silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow. None of them stopped to buy bananas. I yelled and yelled. Nobody listened.My father tried to stop me at last. "Nu," he said smiling to console me, "that was wonderful yelling, Mikey. But it"s plain we are unlucky today! Let"s go home."I was frantic, and almost in tears. I insisted on keeping up my desperate yells. But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him.16.

Love between the father and the sonThe Working Time Regulations (WTRs) introduced a new right to paid holidays for most workers. However, some workers were not covered when the WTRs came into force in October 1998. Since the regulations were amended, with effect from 1 August 2003, the majority of these workers have been entitled to paid holidays, and since 1 August 2004 the regulations have also applied to junior doctors.Workers who qualify are entitled to no fewer than four weeks of paid holiday a year, and public holidays (normally eight days in England and Wales) count towards this. However. workers and employers can agree longer holidays.For the first year of work, special accrual rules apply. For each month of employment, workers are entitled to one twelfth of the annual holiday. After the first year of employment, you can take your holiday entitlement at any time, with your employer"s approval.Before taking holidays, you must give your employer notice of at least twice the length of the holiday you want to take: for instance, to take a five-day holiday, you must give at least ten days" notice. If your employer does not want you to take that holiday, they can give you counter-notice equal to the holiday, for example, five days" notice not to take a five-day holiday.If the employer wants you to take holiday at a given time, e. g. when there is a shutdown at thesame time every year, they must give you notice of at least twice the length of the holiday. There is no right for the worker to take that holiday at a different time.Holiday cannot be carried over to the next year, unless your contract of employment allows this to happen. Nor can you be paid in lieu of your holiday. However, when you leave the job, you are entitled to receive payment for any outstanding holiday, provided your contract specifically allows for this.It may be that your contract gives you better rights, or your holiday rights might be specified in a collective agreement. Your union representative can advise you on this.Answer the following questions, using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the passage.21. In what year were the regulations extended to cover most of the workers who were originally excluded?22. What is the minimum annual paid holiday which workers are entitled to?23. During a worker"s first year of employment, what proportion of their annual holiday does a month"s work give?24. What can an employer give a worker to stop them taking holiday that they have requested?25. What is given as a possible reason for an employee having to take a holiday at a certain time?Part Ⅲ WritingWhile some people claim that a person"s essential qualities are inherited at birth, others hold that the circumstances in which a person grows up are mainly responsible for the type of person he/ she later becomes.
