If a person has something to sell and wants something else 1return, it is not necessary to search for someone able and 2to make the desired exchange of items. The person canto anyone who wants to buy it and then use thesell the 3 item for general purchasing power—that is, “money”—proceeds to buy the desired item from anyone who wants to sell it.The importance of this function of money is 4 illustrated by the experience of Germany just after World War Ⅱ, 5paper money was 6 largely useless because, despite inflationary conditions, price controls were effectively 7 by theAmerican, French, and British armies of occupation. People had to8 to barter or to inefficient money substitutes.The result was to cut total output of the economy in half.

(40 points)Text 1Two related paradoxes also emerge from the same basic conception of the aesthetic experience. The first was givenextended consideration by Hegel, who argued roughly as follows: our sensuous attention and that gives to the workof art its peculiar individuality. Because it addresses itself to our sensory appreciation, the work of art is essentiallyconcrete, to be understood by an act of perception rather than by a process of discursive thought.At the same time, our understanding of the work of art is in part intellectual; we seek in it a conceptual content,which it presents to us in the form of an idea. One purpose of critical interpretation is to expound this idea in discursive form—to give the equivalent of the content of the work of art in another, nonsensuous idiom. Butcriticism can never succeed in this task, for, by separating the content from the particular form, it abolishes its individuality. The content presented then ceases to be the exact content of that work of art. In losing its individuality,the content loses its aesthetic reality; it thus ceases to be a reason for attending to the particular work and that firstattracted our critical attention. It cannot be this that we saw in the original work and that explained its power over us.For this content, displayed in the discursive idiom of the critical intellect, is no more than a husk, a discarded relicof a meaning that eluded us in the act of seizing it. If the content is to be the true object of aesthetic interest, it mustremain wedded to its individuality: it cannot be detached from its “sensuous embodiment” withou from itself. Content is, therefore, inseparable from form and form in turn inseparable from content. (It is the formthat it is only by virtue of the content that it embodies.)Hegel’s argument is the archetype of many, all aimed at showing that it is both necessary to distinguish form fromcontent and also impossible to do so. This paradox may be resolved by rejecting either of its premises, but, as withKant’s antinomy, neither premise seems dispensable. To suppose that content and form are inseparable is, in effect,to dismiss both ideas as illusory, since no two works of art can then share either a content or a form-the form beingdefinitive of each work’s individuality.In this case, no one could ever justify his interest in a work of art by reference to its meaning. The intensity ofaesthetic interest becomes a puzzling, and ultimately inexplicable, feature of our mental life. If, on the other hand,we insist that content and form are separable, we shall never be able to find, through a study of content, the reasonfor attending to the particular work of art that intrigues us. Every work of art stands proxy for its paraphrase. Animpassable gap then opens between aesthetic experience and its ground, and the claim that aesthetic experience isintrinsically valuable is thrown in doubt.21. Hegel argued that .［A］it is our sensuous appreciation that gives peculiar individuality to the work of art［B］it is the content of the work of art that holds our attention［C］the work of art cannot be understood without a process of logical thinking［D］the form of the work of art is what our sensuous appreciation concentrates on22. It can be inferred from this passage that .［A］the paradox that it is both necessary to distinguish form content and also impossible to do so cannot be resolved by rejecting its premises［B］both content and form of the work of art are illusory［C］the content and form of the work of art are separable［D］aesthetic experience is not intrinsically valuable23. Which of the following is NOT what Hegel believed?［A］The content and form of the work of art cannot be separated from each other.［B］The content of the work of art is always the true object of aesthetic interest.［C］The content presented without any individuality is not the content of the work of art.［D］The content understood by means of a process of discursive thought is no more than a husk.24. Premises that are related to each other seems to be dispensable because .［A］Kant thinks they are indispensable［B］either of them can resolve the paradox［C］the premises are separated［D］the premises can account for the theory25. This passage is mainly about .［A］the sensuous appreciation of art［B］the basic conception of the aesthetic experience［C］how to appreciate the work of art［D］the relationship between form and content of the work of artText 2Every country with a monetary system of its own has to have some kind of market in which dealers in bills, notes,and other forms of short term credit can buy and sell. The“money market”is a set of institutions or arrangements for handling what might be called wholesale transactions in money and short term credit. The need for such facilities arises in much the same way that a similar need does in connection with the distribution of any of the products of a diversified economy to their final users at the retail level. If the retailer is to provide reasonably adequate service to his customers, he must have active contacts with others who specialize in making or handling bulk quantities of whatever is his stock in trade. The money market is made up of specialized facilities of exactly this kind. It exists for the purpose of improving the ability of the retailers of financial services—commercial banks, savings institutions, investment houses, lending agencies, and even governments—to do their job. It has little if any contact with the individuals or firms who maintain accounts with these various retailers or purchase their securitiesor borrow from them.The elemental functions of a money market must be performed in any kind of modern economy, even one that is largely planned or socialist, but the arrangements in socialist countries do not ordinarily take the form of a market. Money markets exist in countries that use market processes rather than planned allocations to distribute most oftheir primary resources among alternative uses. The general distinguishing feature of a money market is that it relies upon open competition among those who are bulk suppliers of funds at any particular time and among those seeking bulk funds, to work out the best practicable distribution of the existing total volume of such funds.In their market transactions, those with bulk supplies of funds or demands for them, rely on groups of intermediaries who act as brokers or dealers. The characteristics of these middlemen, the services they perform, and their relationship to other parts of the financial vary widely from country to country. In many countries there is no single meeting place where the middlemen get together, yet in most countries the contacts among all participantsare sufficiently open and free to assure each supplier or user of funds that he will get or pay a price that fairly reflects all of the influences (including his own) that are currently affecting the whole supply and the whole demand.In nearly all cases, moreover, the unifying force of competition is reflected at any given moment in a common price (that is, rate of interest) for similar transactions. Continuous fluctuations in the money market rates of interest result from changes in the pressure of available supplies of funds upon the market and in the pull of current demandsupon the market.26. The first paragraph is mainly about .A. the definition of money marketB. the constitution of a money marketC. the basic functions of a money marketD. the general feature of a money market27. According to this passage, the money market .A. provides convenient services to its customersB. has close contact with the individuals or firms seeking fundsC. maintains accounts with various retailers of financial servicesD. is made up of institutions who specialize in handling wholesale monetary transactions28. Which of the following statements concerning money market is not true according to this passage?A. Money market does not exist in planned economies.B. Money market has been established in some socialist countries.C. Money market encourages open competition among bulk suppliers of funds.D. Money market relies upon market processes to distribute funds to final users.29. The author uses the example of middleman to show .A. market transactions are important in different countriesB. dealers are needed in doing businessC. middlemen can play great role in different transactions and different countries.D. middlemen in different countries have different actions in business.30. According to this passage, .A. brokers usually perform the same kinds of services to their customersB. brokers have little contact with each otherC. open competition tends to result in a common price for similar transactions at any given momentD. changes in the pressure of available supplies of funds upon market tends to maintain a common price forsimilar transactionsText 3Environmental issues raise a host of difficult ethical questions, including the ancient one of the nature of intrinsic value. Whereas many philosophers in the past have agreed that human experiences have intrinsic value and the utilitarians at least have always accepted that the pleasures and pains of nonhuman animals are of some intrinsic significance, this does not show why it is so bad if dodos become extinct or a rain forest is cut down. Are thesethings to be regretted only because of the loss to humans or other sentient creatures? Or is there more to it than that? Some philosophers are now prepared to defend the view that trees, rivers, species (considered apart from the individual animals of which they consist), and perhaps ecological systems as a whole have a value independent ofthe instrumental value they may have for humans or other sentient creatures.Our concern for the environment also raises the question of our obligations to future generations. How much do we owe to the future? From a social contract view of ethics or for the ethical egoist, the answer would seem to be: nothing. For we can benefit them, but they are unable to reciprocate. Most other ethical theories, however, do give weight to the interests of coming generations. Utilitarians, for one, would not think that the fact that members offuture generations do not exist yet is any reason for giving less consideration to their interests than we give to our own, provided only that we are certain that they will exist and will have interests that will be affected by what wedo. In the case of, say, the storage of radioactive wastes, it seems clear that what we do will indeed affect the interests of generations to come.The question becomes much more complex, however, when we consider that we can affect the size of future generations by the population policies we choose and the extent to which we encourage large or small families.Most environmentalists believe that the world is already dangerously overcrowded. This may well be so, but thenotion of overpopulation conceals a philosophical issue that is ingeniously explored by Derek Parfit in Reasons and Persons (1984). What is optimum population? Is it that population size at which the average level of welfare will beas high as possible? Or is it the size at which the total amount of welfare—the average multiplied by the number ofpeople—is as great as possible? Both answers lead to counterintuitive outcomes, and the question remains one ofthe most baffling mysteries in applied ethics.31. The first paragraph is mainly about .［A］the intrinsic value of human experiences［B］the intrinsic value of the experiences of nonhuman animals［C］the intrinsic value of ecological system as a whole［D］an ancient ethical question about the nature of intrinsic value32. , we owe nothing to the future generations.［A］In the author’s opinion［B］From a social contrast view of ethics［C］For a utilitarian［D］For most environmentalists33. Population policy we take should be considered .［A］positive ［B］negative ［C］complex ［D］reasonable34. According to this passage, optimum population .［A］refers to the population size at which the average level of welfare will be as high as possible［B］refers to the population size at which the total amount of welfare will be as great as possible［C］is a difficult philosophical issue which remains to be resolved in the future［D］is a difficult philosophical issue which Derek Parfit has successfully settled in Reasons and Persons35. The proper title for this passage should be .［A］ A Mystery in Applied Ethics［B］Our Obligations to Future Generations［C］Environmental Ethics［D］Environmental issuesText 4Perhaps only a small boy training to be a wizard at the Hogwarts school of magic could cast a spell so powerful asto create the biggest book launch ever. Wherever in the world the clock strikes midnight on June 20th, his followerswill flock to get their paws on one of more than 10m copies of “Harry P otter and the Order of the Phoenix”.Bookshops will open in the middle of the night and delivery firms are drafting in extra staff and bigger trucks. Related toys, games, DVDs and other merchandise will be everywhere. There will be no escaping Pottermania.Yet Mr Potter’s world is a curious one, in which things are often not what they appear. While an excitable media(hereby including The Economist, happy to support such a fine example of globalisation) is helping to hype thelaunch of J.K. Rowling’s fifth novel, about the most adventurous thing that the publishers (Scholastic in Americain English elsewhere) have organised is a reading by Ms Rowling in London’s Royal and Britain’s BloomsburyAlbert Hall, to be broadcast as a live webcast. Hollywood, which owns everything else to do with Harry Potter, saysit is doing even less. Incredible as it may seem, the guardians of the brand say that, to protect the Potter franchise,they are trying to maintain a low profile. Well, relatively low.Ms Rowling signed a contract in 1998 with Warner Brothers, part of AOL Time Warner, giving the studio exclusivefilm, licensing and merchandising rights in return for what now appears to have been a steal: some $500,000. Warner licenses other firms to produce goods using Harry Potter characters or images, from which Ms Rowlinggets a big enough cut that she is now wealthier than the queen—if you believe Britain’s Sunday Times rich list.The process is self generating: each book sets the stage for a film, which boosts book sales, which lifts sales ofPotter products.Globally, the first four Harry Potter books have sold some 200m copies in 55 languages; the two movies havegrossed over $1.8 billion at the box office. This is a stunning success by any measure, especially as Ms Rowling haslong demanded that Harry Potter should not be over commercialised. In line with her wishes, Warner says it isbeing extraordinarily careful, at least by Hollywood standards, about what it licenses and to whom. It imposedtough conditions on Coca Cola, insisting that no Harry Potter images should appear on cans, and is now in theprocess of making its licensing programme even more restrictive. Coke may soon be considered too mass market tocarry the brand at all.The deal with Warner ties much of the merchandising to the films alone. There are no officially sanctioned productsrelating to “Order of the Phoenix”; nor yet for “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, t book, which is due out in June 2004. Warner agrees that Ms Rowling’s creation is a different sort of comme property, one with long-term potential that could be damaged by a typical Hollywood marketing blitz, says DianeNelson, the studio’s global brand manager for Harry Potter. It is vital, she adds, that with more to come, readers ofy by fans isthe books are not alienated. “The evidence from our market research is that enthusiasm for the propertnot waning.”36. When the author says “there will be no escaping Potter mania”, he implies that .［A］Harry Potter’s appeal for the readers is simply irresistible［B］it is somewhat irrational to be so crazy about the magic boy［C］craze about Harry Potter will not be over in the near future［D］Hogwarts school of magic will be the biggest attraction world over37. Ms Rowling’s reading in London’s Royal Albert Hall is mentioned to show .［A］publishers are really adventurous in managing the Potter’s business［B］businesses are actually more credible than media in Potter’s world［C］the media are promoting Pottermania more actively than Hollywood［Ｄ］businesses involved with Potter are moving along in an unusual way38. The author believes that .［A］Britain’s Sunday Times rich list is not very convincing as it sounds［B］Time Warner’s management of licenses is a bit over commercialised［C］other firms may produce goods using Harry Potter images at will［D］what Ms Rowling got in return for her offering to Warner is a real bargain39. Paragraph 4 intends mainly to show Warner’s .［A］determination to promote Potter［B］consistence in conducting busines［C］high regard for Ms Rowling’s request［D］careful restrictions on licensing to Coco-Cola40. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that .［A］products of Potter films have brought enormous profits to Warner［B］current Hollywood’s marketing of Potter may damage its potential［C］readers could get tired of Ms Rowling’s writings sooner or later［D］Warner will maintain the same strategy with Potter in futurePart BSample 1Directions:In the following article, some sentences have been removed.

(41) Small businesses, defined as those with fewer than 100 workers, now employ 60 percent of the workforce and expected to generate half of all new jobs between now and the year 2,000.(42)Too many of these pioneers, however, will blaze ahead unprepared. Idealists will overestimate the clamor for their products or fail to factor in the competition. (43). Midcareer executives, forced by a takeover or a restructuring toquit the corporation and find another way to support themselves, may save the idea of being their own boss but may forget that entrepreneurs must also. at least for a while, be bookkeepers and receptionists, too.(44) By 1995, morethan 60 of those 100 start ups, 77 percent of the companies surveyed were still alive. Most credited their successin large part to having picked a business they already were comfortable in Eighty percent had worked with the same product or service in their last jobs.Thinking through an enterprise before the launch is obviously critical.(45) you must tenderly monitor its pulse, intheir zeal, to expand. Small business owners often ignore early warning signs of a stagnant market or of decaying profitability. They hopefully four more and more into the enterprise, preferring not to acknowledge eroding profitmargins that means the market for their ingenious service or product has evaporated, or that they must cut the payroll or vacate their lavish offices.To snatch opportunity, you must spot the signals that it is time to conquer the new markets, add products or perhaps franchise your hot ideas.［A］Only when the financial well runs dry do they see the seriousness of the illness, and by then the patient is usually too far gone to save.［B］But many entrepreneurs forget that a firm’s health in its infancy may be little indication of how well it will age . ［C］Frequent checks of your firm’s vital signs will also guide you to a sensible rate of growth.［D］Some 1.2 million small forms have opened their doors over the past 6 years of economic growth, and 1989will see an additional 200,000 entrepreneurs striking off on their own.［E］According to small Business Administration data, 24 of every 100 businesses starting out today are likely to disappear in two years, and 27 more will have shut their doors four years from now.［F］But to a far greater extent than most Americans realize, the economy’s vitality depends on the fortunes of tiny shops and restaurants, neighborhood services and are factories.［G］Nearly everyone will underestimate, often fatally, the capital that success requiresSample 2Directions:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.For questions 41-45, you are required to reorganizethese paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G to fill in each numbered box.

It is one of the best bonds, both of chastity and obedience, in the wife, if she think her husband wise; which she will never do, if shefind him jealous.［B］He that has wife and children has given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises,either of virtue or mischief. Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection and means, have married and endowed the public. Yet it weregreat reason that those that have children, should have greatest care of future times; unto which they know theymust transmit their dearest pledges.［C］Certainly wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity; and single men, though they may be manytimes more charitable, because their means are less exhaust, yet, on the other side, they are more cruel and hardhearted (good to make severe inquisitors), because their tenderness is not so oft called upon. Grave natures, ledby custom, and therefore constant, are commonly loving husbands, as was said of Ulysses。

72.贫困统计表中统计的大部分是年老者，或是残疾者，或是需要承担家庭义务而不能工，所以贫困统计表根本不可能正确反映劳动力市场的问题73.因为一年中某个时段的失业人数是任何一个月失业人数的好几倍，所以，那些因被迫失业而蒙受损失的人可能等于或超过年平均失业人数，尽管任何一个月的失业者中只有少数人真正蒙受了损失。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage OneBeing able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering (浪费) away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in (沉湎于) their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.All this electronic wizardry (魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people´s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favorable response.The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled.While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today´s youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.第30题What is probably true about the multitasking Generation M?A.They feel they are more efficient than others.B.They waste more time than they should spend.C.They put more energy on important tasks.D.They need to improve their analytical skills.第31题With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation M´s present e-devices?A.They give way to the latest.B.They are quickly put aside.C.They are sold to their friends.D.They become part of their collection.第32题Multitasking makes the Generation M ______.A.feel lonely add pitiful.B.selfish and aggressive.C.distant to their family.D.silent and sad.第33题The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to ______.A.adjust their social attitudes.B.seek psychological assistance.C.improve their study skills.D.take more business courses.第34题What attitude should the older generation adopt towards the multitasking youth?A.Critical.B.Thankful.C.Negative.D.Supportive.上一题下一题(35~39/共20题)Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)Passage TwoA good modem newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特定) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next.A good modem newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value.For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day´s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own news paper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you wantfrom them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.第35题A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ______.A.wide coverageB.uniform styleC.speed in reporting newsD.popularity第36题According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that ______.A.people scan for the news they are interested inB.different people prefer different newspapersC.people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD.people have different views about what a good newspaper is第37题It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers ______.A.apply reading techniques skillfullyB.jump from one newspaper to anotherC.appreciate the variety of a newspaperually read a newspaper selectively第38题A good newspaper offers a variety to readers because ______.A.it tries to serve different readersB.it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC.readers are difficult to pleaseD.readers like to read different newspapers第39题The best title for this passage would be ______.A.The importance of Newspaper TopicalityB.The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC.The Variety of a Good NewspaperD.Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper上一题下一题(40~44/共20题)Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)Passage ThreeMillions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worded. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serous debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proofthat mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn´t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer´s doctor didn´t agree.What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it´s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it´s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.第40题People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.A.they´re popularB.they´re cheapC.they´re usefulD.they´re convenient第41题The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ______.A.curedB.removedC.discoveredD.caused第42题The salesman retired young because ______.A.he disliked using mobile phonesB.he was tired of talking on his mobile phoneC.he couldn´t remember simple tasksD.his employer´s doctor persuaded him to第43题On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies ______.A.deny the existence of mobile phone radiationB.develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiationC.try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to healthD.hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about第44题The writer´s purpose of writing this article is to advise people ______.A.to buy mobile phonesB.to update regular phonesC.to use mobile phones less oftenD.to stop using mobile phones上一题下一题(45~49/共20题)Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)Passage FourEarth´s North and South Poles are famous for being cold and icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter and shrinks during the summer. But for many years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent drop in end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 and 2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner.Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its skimpiest levels yet. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That´s 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. And it´s a very large 23 percent below the previous record low, which was set just 2 years ago. This continuing trend has scientists concerned.There may be several reasons for the ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer at the University of Washington at Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice and open water.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past, clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water and the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.5℃warmer than average and 1.5℃warmer than the previous record high.With both air and water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above and below. In some darts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska and western Canada, ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer measured just 50 centimeters by season´s end.The new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than scientists have seen by just looking at ice cover from above, says Donald K. Perovich, a geophysicist at the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, N. H.Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend from which it may never recover.第45题Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "build" in the second paragraph?A.constructB.extendC.create.D.expand第46题What is the ice cover in the Arctic by the end of 2007 summer?A.4.2 million square kilometersB.11.4 million square kilometersC.1.13 million square kilometersD.38 million square kilometersWhat are the reasons for the ice melting according to the scientists?A.strong winds and clear skiesB.long summer and short winterC.open water and thin iceD.light clouds and light winds第48题Why is the ice melting from both above and below?A.Because extra heat warms the air.B.Because extra heat warms the water.C.Because the temperature above the water is higher.D.Both A and B.第49题What can be a possible title for the passage?A.What Are Scientists Looking for in the Arctic Ocean?B.What Are Scientists Doing in the Arctic Ocean?C.Why Are Scientists Worrying about the Arctic Ocean?D.Why Are Scientists Interested in the Arctic Ocean?上一题下一题(50~59/共10题)Part IV Cloze Test (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

She and her husband had been travelling back in their carriage from Rome (it was before the time of railways) and on a bad piece of road south of Siena they had broken down, and had been forced to pass the night in a little house by the road-side. The accommodation was wretched of course; she had spent a sleepless night, and rising early had stood, wrapped up, at her window, with the cool air blowing on her face, to watch the dawn. She could still, after all these years, remember the blue mountains with the bright moon above them, and how a far-off town on one of the peaks had gradually grown whiter and whiter, till the moon faded, the mountains were touched with the pink of the rising sun, and suddenly the town was lit as by an illumination, one window after another catching and reflecting the sun´s beam, till at last the whole little city twinkled and sparkled up in the sky like a nest of stars.______上一题下一题(1/1)Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)第61题现在很多年轻人每个月都把自己赚的钱花光，他们被称作“月光族”2．有人认为这是一种时尚的消费观念，但很多人反对这样消费3．你的看法_____上一题交卷交卷答题卡答案及解析(1/5)Part ⅠDialogue CommunicationSection A Dialogue CompletionDirections: In this section, you will read 5 short incomplete dialogues between two speakers, each followed by 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D.

Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blasnk form A, B, C or D.The adults the United States constitute a work force about 81 million people, of whom only 27 million possess a marketable skill as a result of conscious career development.

Perhaps no one has written more widely on the subject in the United States than “the father of public education.” John Dewey. Dewey asserted that education contains a large social component designed to provide direction and assure children’s development through their participation in the group to which they belong. Inexplaining education as a social act, he regarded the classroom as a replica (exact copy) of society.Dewey believed that just as humans need sleep, food, water and shelter for physiological renewal, they also need education to renew their minds, assuring that their socialization keeps pace with physiological growth. He thought that education should provide children with a nurturing atmosphere to encourage the growth of their as-yet-undeveloped social customs and that the steadying and organizing influences of school should provide direction indirectly through the selection of the situations in which the youngster participated.Above all, Dewey saw public education as a catalyst (motive force) for growth. Since the young came to school capable of growth, it was the role of education to provide opportunities for that growth to occur. Thesuccessful school environment is one in which a desire for continued growth is created –- a desire that extends throughout one’s life beyond the end of formal education. In Dewey’s model, the role of education in a democratic society is not seen as a preparation for some later stage in life, such as adulthood. Rather, education is seen as a process of growth that never ends, with human beings continuously expanding their capacity for growth. Neither did Dewey’s model see education as a means by which the past was repeated. Instead, education was a continuous reconstruction of experiences, grounded very much in the present environment. Since Dewey’s model places a heavy emphasis on the social component, the nature of the larger society that supports the educational system is of vital importance. The ideal larger society, according to Dewey, is one in which the interests of a group are shared by all of its members andin which interactions with other groups are free and full. He believed that education in such a society should provide members of the group a stake or interest in social relationships and he ability to facilitate change without compromising the order and stability of the society. His teachings continue to play a significant role in the formulation of curriculum geared toward the furthering of democratic principles -------the school system and beyond. 21.Dewey pictured the classroom as a replica of society because.A.t he classroom is immune to social invasion.B.Society imposes its principles on education.C.T he school is a crucial component ofsociety.D.E ducation comprises social interactions.22.Dewey’s philosophy implies that the lack of education for a child would.A.b e mentally destroying.B.Be life intimidating.C.B lock his physical renewal.D.C ause faulty socialization.23.Dewey considered all of the following as true EXCEPT.A.h is model should affect curriculumformulation.B.Direction provided by education should besubtle.C.S chools must foster their participants inevery way.D.I ntellectual renewal must go with physicalgrowth.24.According to Dewey, the goal of education is toA.s atisfy the diverse desires of the youth.B.Impart ready experiences to the young.C.P ave the way for youngsters’ ambitions.D.M ake profound impacts on the students.25.Dewey believed that in the ideal society education shouldA.p romote democratic social principles atlarge.B.Make social groups enjoy commoninterests.C.K eep social stability from beingendangered.D.R eform the established social order mildly.26.The author suggests that Dewey’s theoryA.d ominates educational philosophy.B.Is the by-product of social idealism.C.F ar exceeds the realm of education.D.I s sure to arouse a social revolution.Part BYou are going to read an extract about curriculum. Six paragraphs have been removed from the extract. Choose from the paragraphs A-G the one which fits each gap (27-32). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.CurriculumIt seems fairly obvious that if teachers are to he the ones responsible for developing the curriculum, they need the time, the skills and the support to do so. Support may include curriculum models and guidelines. It should alsoinclude counseling and bilingual support, and may include support from individuals acting in a curriculum advisory position. The provision of such support cannot be removed from, and must not be seen in isolation from, the curriculum.27____________________In many institutions, it is customary to identify teachers as ‘experienced’or ‘inexperienced’according to the number of years they have been teaching (a common cut-off figure seems to be four or five).28 ________________________In general, there is a great deal of confusion over the term ‘curriculum’, Many teachers see ‘the curriculum’as a set of prescriptive statements about what ‘should happen’. This makes any reference to curriculum matters by outsiders quite threatening.29 _____________________This, in fact, returns us to the point that the relationship between planning, teaching and learning is extremely complex. The notion thatthere is a simple equation between these three components of the curriculum (i.e. that ‘what is planned’=’what is taught = ‘what is learned’) is naïve, simplistic and misleading. It is crucial for those involved in course and program evaluation to be aware of this complexity.30 ________________________The amount that a teacher working alone can achieve is strictly limited. The best teacher- based curriculum development occurs as the result of team efforts, when groups of teachers with similar concerns or with similar students work together to develop a program or course.31 __________________In the past, within the Adult Migrant Education Program, there has been a tendency for initiatives which have curricular implications to be introduced on a grand scale in an unsystematic way with very little monitoring and evaluation. The adoption of a learner-centered approach to curriculum is a case in point.32____________________Many of the problems which are attributed to lack of curriculum continuity flow directly from the adoption of a learner-centered philosophy and the requirement, inherent in this philosophy, that the classroom practitioner be the principal agent of curriculum development, It may well be that a certain amount of discontinuity is inevitable, the price we pay for the chosen philosophy. There is certainly no single or simple solution.A Other examples include the development of self-access centers and the introduction of bilingual information officers. The same may well be said of plans to introduce counseling services, bilingual assistants and curriculum advisors. There is a great deal to be said for curriculum development to occur through small-scale case studies and action research projects which are adequately planned, closely monitored and properly evaluated, rather thanthrough large-scale national initiatives. Teachers are certainly inclined to adopt an innovation which is the result of successful practice than an untested idea which is thrust upon them.B If teachers are to be the principal agents of curriculum development, they need to develop a range of skills which go beyond classroom management and instruction. Curriculum development will therefore be largely a matter of appropriate staff development.C One of the points which emerged most strongly from the study was the fact that continuity in language programs is not just a curricular or pedagogical problem. It is an administrative, management and organizational problem as well as a counseling and curriculum-support.D Such collaboration may or may not include team teaching. While team teaching is recognized by teachers as being highly desirable desirable, many reported that they were prevented from adopting a team approach byadministrative and bureaucratic inflexibility.E There is a need for the scope of curriculum to be expanded to include not only what ‘should happen’, but also what ‘does happen’. Curriculum practice should thus be derived as much from successful practice as from statements of intent.F In terms of the provision of support, other teachers have the highest credibility in the eyes of practitioners. The practice of removing competent teachers from the classroom to be administrators or advisors results in an immediate drop in credibility. It may be more desirable to target practitioners who expertise in a limited domain, e.g.’literacy’or ‘assessment’, than as ‘experts’across the total field of curriculum activityG However, it may well be that there is no such thing as an ‘experienced’teacher, if by experienced is meant a teacher who can, at a moment’s notice and with minimal support, plan, implement and evaluate a course in anyarea of the Program. This was demonstrated by the experience of Sally. It also emerged in interviews where only one or two percent of teachers indicated indicated that they would be able to teach in an unfamiliar area without support.Part CYou are going to read a passage about the role of textbooks in language teaching. Choose from the list A-G the headings which best summarize each paragraph (33-38) of the passage. There is one extra heading that you do not need to use.33 __________________________Textbooks are key component in most language programs. In some situations they serve as the basis for much of the language input learners receive and the language practice that occurs in the classroom. They may provide the basis for the content of the lessons, the balance of skills taught and the kinds of language practice the students take part in. In other situations, the textbook may serve primarily tosupplement the teacher’s instruction. For learners. The textbook may provide the major source of contact they have with the language apart from input provided by the teacher.34 ______________________In the case of inexperienced teachers textbooks may also serve as a form of teacher training – they provide ideas on how to plan and teach lessons as well as formats that teachers can use. Much of the language teaching that occurs throughout the world today could not take place without the extensive use of cormmercial textbooks. Learning how to use and adapt textbooks is hence an important part of a teacher’s professional knowledge.35 ______________________Textbooks, however, sometimes present inauthentic language since texts, dialogs and other aspects of content tend to be specially written to incorporate teaching points and are often not representative of real language use. Textbooks often present an idealized view of theworld or fail to representative of real issues. Furthermore, if teachers use textbooks as the primary source of their teaching, leaving the textbook and teacher’s manual to make the major instructional decisions of them, the teacher’s role can become reduced to that of a technician whose primarily function is to present materials prepared by others.36________________________With such an array of commercial textbooks and other kinds of instructional materials to choose from teachers and others responsible for choosing materials need to be able to make informed judgments about textbooks and teaching materials. Evaluation, however, can only be done by considering something in relation to its purpose. A book may be ideal in one situation because it matches the needs of that situation perfectly. It has just the right amount of material for the program, it is easy to teach, it can be used with little preparation by inexperienced teachers, and it has an equalcoverage of grammar and the four skills. However the same book in a different situation may turn out to be quite unsuitable.37 ___________________________Two factors are involved in the development of commercial textbooks: those representing the interests of the author, and those representing the interests of the publisher. The author is generally concerned to produce a text that teachers will find innovative, creative, relevant to their learners’ needs, and that they will enjoy teaching from. The author is generally hopeful that the book will be successful and make a financial profit since a large investment of the author’s personal time and effort is involved. The publisher is primarily motivated by financial success.38 __________________________When developing materials, the publisher will try to satisfy teachers’ expectations as to what a textbook at a certain level should contain. For example, if an introductory ESL textbook doesnot include the present continuous in the first level of the book, teachers may feel that it is defective and not wish to use it. In an attempt to make an author’s manuscript usable in as large a market as possible, the publisher often has to change it substantially. Some of these changes are necessitated by the fact teachers with very different levels of experience, training, and teaching skill might be using the book.A Textbooks have limitations and disadvantages.B Textbooks can be adapted in classroom teaching.C Textbooks need to be evaluated before they are adopted.D Textbooks should meet teacher’needs in classroom teaching.E Textbook development often serves different purposes.F Textbooks provide the major source of learning.G Textbooks facilitate teachers’ professionaldevelopment.Part DYou are going to read a passage about using the native language in the classroom of second language teaching. Decide whether the statements in the box agree with the information given in the passage. You should choose from the following.A YES = the statement agrees with the informationB NO = the statement contradicts the informationC NOT GIVEN = there is no such information in the passageA voiding use of the 1.1 in the classroomWhile fashions in language teaching ebbed and flowed during the twentieth century, certain basic assumptions were accepted by most language teachers. Though these assumptions have affected many generations of students and teachers, they are rarely discussed or presentedto new teachers but are taken for granted as the foundation of language teaching.One of these assumptions is the discouragement of L1 use in the classroom. This convention can be phrased in stronger or weaker forms. At its strongest, it is ‘Ban the L1 from the classroom.’Only in circumstances where the teacher does not speak the students’L1 or the students have different L1 where the teacher does not speak the students’L1 or the students have different L1 could this be achieved. At weakest, the rule is ‘Minimize the L1 in the classroom,’ that is to say, use it as little it as little as possible. A usefulness of the L2 rather than the harm of the first. However the assumption is phrased, the L2 is seen as positive, the L1 as negative. The L1 is not something to be utilized in teaching but to be set aside.Most teaching methods since the 1880s have adopted this Direct Method avoidance of the L1. The monolingual principle., the unique contribution of the twentieth century toclassroom language teaching, remains the bedrock notion form which the others ultimately derive. Communicative language teaching and task-based learning methods have no necessary relationship with the L1, yet, as we shall see, the only times that the L1 is mentioned is when advice is given on how to minimize its use. The main theoretical treatments of task-based learning do not, for example, have any locatable mentions of the classroom use of the L1. Most descriptions of methods portray the ideal classroom as having as little of the L1 as possible, essentially by omitting any reference to it. Perhaps the only exception is the grammar-translation method, which has little or no public support.Avoidance of the L1 lies behind many teaching techniques, even if it is seldom spelled out. Most teaching manuals consider this avoidance as so obvious that no classroom use of the L1 is ever mentioned. Even writers who are less enthusiastic about avoiding the L1 takeissue primarily with the extent to which this is imposed. Those arguing for the L1 to be mixed with the L2 on a deliberate and consistent basis in the classroom are few and far between. Thus, this anti-L1 attitude was clearly a mainstream element in twentieth-century language teaching methodology.This is not to say that teachers do not actually use the L1 every day. Like nature, the L1 creeps back in, however many times you throw it out with a pitchfork. Even in English-only US classrooms ‘the use of the native language is so compelling that it emerges even when policies and assumptions mitigate against it’. The UK National Curriculum still needs to remind teachers 120 years after the Great Reform that ‘the target language is the normal means of communication’. Teachers resort to the L1 despite their best intentions and often feeling guilty for straying from the L2 path.。

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All ofthese forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing（同化的）forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient（有活力的）,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous（原生的，土著的）communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in .A．an increasingly interconnected worldB．maintaining small numbers of speakersC．relatively isolated language communitiesD．following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is.A．uncertain B．unrealistic C．foreseeable D．definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help .A．small languages become acceptable in work placesB．homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC．global languages reach home and community settingsD．speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identity/doc/2511188590.html,puter technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it .

It is an aggra??vating and worsening real-life phenomenon that encompasses behavior ranging from indifference and rudeness to naked hostility and even physical violence. Across the country, better business bureaus report a lengthening litany, of complaints about contractors, car dealers, and repair shops, moving companies, airlines and department stores. There is almost an adversarial feeling between businesses and consumers. Experts say there are several explanations for ill feeling in the marketplace. One is that cus??tomer service was an early and inevitable casualty when retailers responded to brutal competition by replacing employees with technology such as 1 ~ 800 numbers and voice mail. Another factor is that business generally has begun placing more emphasis on getting customers than on keeping them. Still another is that strident, frustrated and impatient shoppers vex shop owners and make them even less hospitable—especially a busier times of the year like Christmas. On both sides, simple courtesy has gone by the board. And for a multitude of consumers, service went with it. The Better Business Bureau at Vancouver gets 250 complaints a week, twice as many as five years ago. The bureau then had one complaints counselor and now has four. People complain about being insulted, having their intelligence and integrity questioned, and being threatened. One will hear about people being hauled almost bodily out the door by somebody saying things like I don't have to serve you！ or this is private property, get out and don't come back！What can customers do？ If the bureau's arbitration process fails to settle a dispute, a customer’s only re??course is to sue in call claims court. But because of the costs and time it takes, relatively few ever do. There is a lot of support for the notion that service has, in part, fallen victim to generational change. Many young people regard retailing as just a bead-end job that you're just going to do temporarily on your way to a real job. Young clerks often lack both knowledge and civility. Employers have to train young people in simple manners because that is not being done at home. Salespeople today, especially the younger ones, have grown up in a television-computer society where they’ve interacted largely with machines. One of the biggest complaints from businesses about graduates is the lack of inter-personal skills. What customers really want is access. They want to get through when they call, they don't want busy signals, they don't want interactive systems telling them to posh one for this and two for that—they don't want voice mail. And if customers do not get what they want, they defect. Some people go back to local small businesses： the Asian greengrocer, a Greek baker and a Greek fishmonger. They don't wear nametags, but one gets to know them, all by name. 21.

Conservatives in Congress, led by Senator Jessie Helms, stopped Washington from paying its dues until the UN reduced its as??sessment and made other changes. Now, thanks to the hard work Richard Holbrook, America’s UN representative, and for peacekeeping. Mr. Helms, who has praised the deal, should release the dues he has been holding hostage—$ 582 million of the $1.3 billion the UN says it is owed. The new formula would reduce the US contribution to the general UN budget to 22 percent from the current level of 25 percent—a symbolic difference of only $ 34 million a year. Washing??ton, which has been paying just over 30 percent of the peacekeeping budget, would now pay 27 percent—a difference of $ 80 million to $ 120 million a year—and that percentage will drop fur??ther. While poor countries would not pay more, the dues of other wealthy nations would rise un??der the new system. The agreement would probably not have been reached without the intervention of the media magnate Ted Turner, who is already contributing $ 1 billion to UN programs over 10 years. Mr. Turner gave $ 34 million to cover the one-year gap during which other nations prepare to raise their contributions. His offer should embarrass Congress, which forced diplomats to waste their influence at the UN in months of negotiations to save a sum that is modest by federal budget stan??dards. US debts reduced the UN's ability to reimburse nations that contributed peacekeepers to UN missions worldwide. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Jordan and other poor countries essentially made up for the absence of US financial support. Since Washington benefits from peacekeepers, which damp down conflicts without US troops, It should not be discouraging nations from sending them. Washington's natural allies at the UN were concerned that the US wanted influence without meeting its treaty obligations. Some of them withheld support for US proposals. Mr. Helms should also end his hold on an additional $244 million in back dues, whose release he has conditioned on a reduction in US dues for specialized UN agencies such as UNICEF and the UN refugee organization. These agencies need full support. Switch by Mr. Helms would help the in?? coming Bush administration, which would reap the benefits of the restoration of America’s full in??fluence at the United Nations. 26. Senator Jessie Helms stopped the US government from paying its dues to the UN because he wants . [A] other countries to pay as much as the US [B] Washington to make assessments and changes [C] the UN's general budget to be trimmed , [D] the US to share a smaller part of the burden 27. The new formula has adjusted the assessment and will save the US government at least a year. [A] $114 million [B] $ 154 million [C] $ 200 million [D] $ 234 million 28. After the budget reassessment, the gap left by the US will be covered by______________ . [A] Ted Turner [B] peacekeeping countries [C] all member nations [D] other wealthy nations 29.

[A]A money-saving success [B] An eye-catching embarrassment [C] A waste of US influence [D] A defense of US interest 30. From the passage, we can infer that_____________ . [A] The US contribution to the UN has become a huge burden to Washington [B] The new formula has not solved all problems concerning the US dues [C] The dispute over t h e U S d u e s h a s b e e n d e l i b e r a t e l y m a d e p o l i t i c a l / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 2 9 " > 00 [ D ] T e d t u r n e r ' s i n t e r v e n t i o n s a v e d t h e U S a d i p l o m a t i c d i s a s t e r / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 3 0 " > 0 0 Te x t 3 / p > p b d sf i d = " 1 3 1 " > 0 0 W i t h i t s c l u s t e r o f h igh - ri s e s k n o w n a s t h e F r a n k f u r t e r M a n h a t t a n , i t s b i g b a n k s a n d i t s b u s t l i n g a i r p o r t , t h i s i s a t o w n w i t h p r e t e n s i o n s .
