He was admitted to a hospital Thursday, but his health reportedly worsened over the past few days.Arnold Palmer is considered among the most important players in the history of golf. He won seven major championships and 62 other Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) Tour events.Before Palmer’s long career, golf was considered a sport mainly for rich people. Many Americans liked his aggressive style of play, and the way he seemed at ease with both presidents and the golfing public.Palmer became a sports star at about the same time television moved into most American homes. His good looks, devilish smile and go-for-broke thinking helped make golf appealing to one and all.Other players remembered Palmer on Sunday. Tiger Woods said Palmer added excitement to the game."Thanks, Arnold, for your friendship… and a lot of laughs,"Tiger Woods said through social media. "It's hard to imagine golf without you or anyone more important to the game than the King."Arnold Palmer never like being called "The King" of golf, but the name stuck.Palmer was a leader in sports marketing. He became one of the first athletes to earn millions of dollars by appearing in advertisements. Some 40 years after his last PGA Tour win, he still rates among the highest earners in golf. It is estimated Palmer was worth close to $675 million.As a spokesperson for products, Palmer's image was everywhere. He made ads for motor oil, ketchup and financial services companies. Even as late as 2011, Palmer was No. 3 on Golf Digest's list of top earners at $36 million a year. Only Woods and Phil Mickelson earned more money.As a golfer, Palmer became famous for winning and losing golf tournaments. Palmer came back from seven shots behind to win a U.S. Open Championship. And he once lost a seven-shot lead during the final nine holes to lose a U.S. Open.Palmer was never dull. He would smoke cigarettes while playing as he attacked golffairways, greens and holes. With powerful hands holding the golf club, Palmer would hit the ball with all his strength. Then he would twist his muscular neck as his eyes followed where his shot traveled.Doctors told Palmer that he had prostate cancer in 1997. But the disease was found and treated early. He returned to golf a few months later.Palmer designed some golf courses. And he was a success off the course. His name was used for a line of clothing and a drink combining iced tea and lemonade.Palmer's other love was flying. He piloted his first aircraft in 1956.Palmer flew airplanes the way he played golf. He set a record in 1976 when he went around the earth in 57 hours, 25 minutes and 42 seconds in a Lear 36 plane. He continued flying until he failed to renew his flying license at age 81. He was just short of 20,000 hours of flying as a pilot.Through it all, he came into contact with more people than he could possibly remember. "I'm not interested in being a hero," Palmer said, suggesting that too much was made about his return from cancer. "I just want to play some golf."I’m Kelly Jean Kelly._______________________________________________________Words in This Storystyle – n. a way of behaving or doing thingstournament – n. a sports competition or series of contests that involves many players or teams and that usually continues for at least several daysgo-for-broke – expression to take a major risk in hopes of a big winadvertisement –n. something (such as a short film or a written notice) that is shown or presented to the public to help sell a product or to make an announcementdevilish – adj. showing a desire to cause trouble but in a way that is not seriousdull – adj. not exciting or interestingfairway – n. the part of a golf course that has short grass and that lies between a tee and a green。

My chances would be greater if they hire more workers.W: Never think of that. They always want to keep the cost down.Q: What does the woman imply?12. M: Congratulations! I heard you’v e passed the strict Entrance Examination of Royal College.W: Yeah, but it is just the first step. I have to do more for the next rounds of examinations in that college!Q: What is the woman going to do?13. W: I have studied Japanese for nearly two months. But it is still hard for me to talk in Japanese.M: Well, it is hard to start out and sometimes it’s not a single person’s job.Q: What does the man imply?14. M: Hi, Jenny. You don’t look well. Are you feeling yourself?W: Oh, everything is OK with me. I just feel blue. Maybe it is because of the terrible cold and rainy days.Q: What do we learn about Jenny?15. M: How terrible the milk tastes!W: I don’t think so. .If you don’t like my favorite, why not try others?Q: What do we learn from the conversation?16. W: I have hinted my colleague many times to return the book he borrowed from me. I can’t believe he still can’t think of that.M: Sometimes the direct speech can explain the things clearly.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Cool shoes. I’ve seen s hoes like that on TV or somewhere.W: Oh, they are not mine. They are my sister Kate’s. Last week she wore them in your class.Q: What does the woman mean?18. M: The most horrible thing is that when you use your credit card to pay, you may risk losing all your card information.W: It’s not that serious. I think banks must have taken some measures to protect your information.Q: What are the speakers talking about?Long conversation 1M: Do you know today is the World AIDS Day?W: I have no idea about that, but I do know it’s a terrible disease.M: Yes, AIDS is serious in most parts of Africa and a threat inAsia.W: Oh, my God! Some parts ofAsiaare also big risk areas?M: True! People, especially those in developing countries, still lack of knowledge about AIDS.W: That’ right! People at large think that AIDS is not their problem.M: Maybe a massive education campaign is an efficient approach at the moment.W: I agree with you. It won’t cost us a lot to control the disease from its sources. And the AIDS Day is set for arousing the public awareness of the importance of preventing it.M: You’re right. What’s more, we should know something basic about AIDS. It is mainly caused by sexual contact and blood exchange or the unsafe needle practices of some drug abusers. And we cannot be infected through normal contact with carriers, such as talking or shaking hands with them.W: Sure! In addition, we should respect and help the AIDS patients and carriers.M: Yeah, the government should spend more money on preventing and curing AIDS, provide the AIDS patients with free antivirus therapy, and appeal the public to take care of the AIDS patients and the virus carriers.W: That’s right. With the strength and efforts of the whole society, we can defeat AIDS finally!Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What makes the woman feel surprised?20. What can cause AIDS?21. What should the government do to deal with AIDS?Long conversation 2W: Good evening and welcome to science and technology pr ogram “Our World”. The panda rely on bamboo for almost their entire diet, and that’s a problem when bamboo plants die off. Is there anything can protect the panda? For the answer we turned to Alan Taylor, a professor of geography, who has studied the relat ionship betweenChina’s Giant Pandas and their main food.M: What the bamboo does is, it grows for decades in avegetative state, and then it flowers all at once and dies back. And in the mid 1970s, more than one species did this within the range of the pandas. And so when that occurs, the pandas have to move into an area where there’s another bamboo species.W: What has happened in terms of the relationship of the bamboos, pandas and people in the process?M: People have moved into lower altitude areas where the pandas’ other bamboo species exist, but those bamboo species are now gone.W: Maybe we can find other ways, such as preventing the bamboo from dying.M: Yes. I think the best approach to preventing them from declining in numbers is to try to maintain their home, or even actually expand it into areas where it has been recently lost.W: How should we do for that?M: For example, we could replant bamboo forests, say, in areas that might have once been fields, or where it has been removed due to human activity.W: So that’s probably the most effective way to maintain pandas’ populations and prevent their extinction in the long run.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22 What is the woman’s occupation?23 What do we learn about Mr. Alan Taylor at the beginning?24 What does Mr. Alan Taylor say about bamboo species?25 What is the most effective way to maintain pandas’ population?Section BPassage OneSome trees can survive a long time without water. Think oftrees that grow in the desert. But other trees may need more moisture than they can get from rainfall or from the air -- from, say, coastal or mountain fog.The soil stores moisture during cooler weather. But most of that moisture is gone by the middle or end of the hottest months of the year.Trees and other plants can look thirsty with leaves hanging downward. The leaves can also turn yellow, which can be a sign of too much water. But it can also be a warning sign of too little water.There is advice for watering newly planted trees and established trees. With a newly planted tree, the roots have not yet spread out from the root ball. So put water on the area of the root ball and the surrounding soil until the roots become established.Once a tree is well established, water deeply instead of often. The amount of water needed depends on the tree and the soil. During the hottest season, a deep watering may satisfy a tree for anywhere from ten days to four weeks.Part of skilled watering is known to stop when the soil needs a little time to absorb the water. Otherwise the water runs off the surface and gets wasted. If the area is too wet, harmful organisms have a better chance to invade the tree and cause disease.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What does the speaker tell us about trees and water?27. How do leaves show the trees’ health according to the speaker?28. What do we learn about watering trees?Passage TwoThe basic rules for preparing for a job interview are the same for everybody: Research the company, get your resume in good shape, dress for success and show up on time. In addition, new job seekers should pay special attention to cultural differences.Inexperienced job seekers tend to go off to a job interview “dressed for a so cial event -- not for the job.” For example, the women sometimes put on too much jewelry, and the men sometimes wear clothes that are too flashy for work.Dressing inappropriately tells the interviewer that the candidate is naive and probably misunderstands the job requirements. Worse, especially in the case of a female candidate, an improper dressing may cause a hiring manager to make moral judgments.Sometimes candidates may reveal too much information, because they are not aware there are questions that interviewers are not legally permitted to ask. Open-ended questions can be problematic for this reason as well. When hiring managers ask, “Tell me about yourself.” candidates need to have their answers already prepared to emphasize their skills and suitability for the job. It is very important not to give out unnecessary personal information that is not specifically relevant to the job.Candidates are not required to disclose whether they’re married, have children or anything else about their personal life. If the information isn’t used for sexual or racial discrimination, it may work against the candidate in other ways.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What are the basic rules for preparing a job interview?30. What impression can the inappropriate dressing give to the interviewer?31. According to the passage, how should the candidate introduce himself?Passage ThreeIceland’s volcano erupted Wednesday and ash spread several miles into the air. The wind patterns are pushing the volcanic dust towardsEurope. They are expected to persist for days to come. The World Health Organization has warned people with breathing problems to remain indoors as much as possible when the ash is falling.The ash clouds include grains of rock, glass and sand. They can get into an aircraft’s engine and cause it to stop working. The International Air Transport Association said Friday that the airline industry is losing more than $200 million in revenue a day—and they called this a conservative estimate.Hundreds of thousands of passengers around the world could not go in air for a third day as European flights were reduced Saturday to one-quarter of their normal number. The shutdowns are expected to continue for at least another several days.People have crowded onto trains, buses and ferries to carry out their travel plans—and cab companies say they are being paid thousands of dollars to ferry people across Europe by car.The European air traffic control agency said only 6,000 flights would take place in European airspace Saturday. And the normally expected number of flights is 22,000. On Friday, it is said about 16,000 orEurope’s usual 28,000 daily flights were canceled. Airspace in northernFrancewas closed until Monday morning. Southern Europe, includingSpain, southernItaly,Greece, andTurkeyremains open for flights.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have justheard.32. What is the passage talking about?33. What’s the effect of ash clouds on airplanes?34. When did the airspace in northernFranceopen again?35. Which countries’ air transportation can remain work?Section CTo mathematicians, 32 is an interesting number: it’s 2 raised to the fifth power, 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2. To (36) economists, 32 is even more special, because it (37) measures the difference in lifestyles between the first world and the developing world. The average rates at which people (38) consume resources like oil and metals, and produce wastes like (39) plastics and greenhouse gases, are about 32 times higher in developed countries than they are in the developing world.The (40) estimated one billion people living in developed countries have a relative per capita consumption rate of 32. Most of the world’s other 5.5 billion peop le in the developing world has relative per capita consumption rates below 32, mostly down toward 1.People in the third world are (41) aware of this difference in per capita consumption. When they believe there is little chance to catch up, they sometimes get (42) frustrated and angry, and some even become (43) terrorists. There will be more terrorist attacks against US and Europe, and perhaps againstJapanandAustralia, (44) as long as that factorial difference of32 inconsumption rates still exists.People who consume little want to enjoy the high-consumption lifestyle. (45) Governments of developing countries set a primary goal of increasing living standards. Among these countries,Chinastands out. (46) It has the world’s fastestgrowing economy, and there are 1.3 billion Chinese, four times theUnited States’ population.新东方大学英语四级考试模拟题三听力原文及答案1. A2. B3. D4. A5. A6. B7.

I’ve been searching for two hours, but I can’t figure out where is theSummerPalace.W: Take it easy. Why don’t you just go up to the information desk and ask someone there?Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?12. M: I really enjoyed the live broadcast of the football championship game on TV last night. Did you and your family see it?W: Oh, yes, I like the program, but I wish I could have been awake long enough to see it through.Q: What does the woman mean?13. W: The Capital Stadium, please. I have to get there before the volleyball match begins. Just go as fast as you can.M: No problem, but I’m afraid there is much traffic there. I can’t get close to the stadium. You probably hav e to walk a little bit to the gate.Q: What do we learn about the volleyball match?14. M: May I make an offer, sir? Our mobile phones, with many new features, are very good for such business women like you.W: Thank you, but I don’t like one with complica ted functions. I just need a simple one to make phone calls and text.Q: What does the woman mean?15. M: Now one more question for you, why do you think you’re qualified for the position of sales manager in our company?W: Well, Madam, I had much part-time working experience as a sales manager. You know, I worked through my university years to support myself.Q: What do we learn from the woman?16. W: I don’t think I want to take the public transportation any more. There’re too many people, you know. I wan t to have a car.M: I understand. But consider the cost of buying and keeping a car of your own.Q: What does the man imply?17. M: Just focus on one of your arguments in one paragraph. When writing a paper, it isn’t advisable to throw in too many ideas in one single paragraph.W: Yes, that is a good point. I think I did too much brainstorming here. I’ll change.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?18. M: This party beats those we have been to before, right?W: Sure, we had to put up with noise and loud music. This time, everything goes nicely, a reasonable number of people, and nice music.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?Long conversation 1M: You’ve said that your writing is a response to questions.W: Yes. I think about the poet Rainer Maria who said that it’s the questions that move us, not the answers. As a writer, I believe that it’s our task, our responsibility, to hold the mirror up to social injustices that we see and to create a prayer of beauty. The questions serve us in that capacity.M: At a recent talk you surprised a lot of people in the audience by saying that you don’t consider yourself a writer. That was a very puzzling thing to hear from someone who has written eight books.W: Yes. Well, I would never be so bold as to call myself awriter. I think that is what other people call you. But I consider myself a member of a community inSalt Lake City, inAmerica. And writing is what I do. That is the tool out of which I can express my love of this city.M: One of the underlying themes of your work is the power of our native place that we can call our own. Tell me about your own homeland.W: I think the whole idea of home is central to who we are as human beings. I live just outside ofSalt Lake Cityin a place calledEmigrationCanyon. I feel deeply connected to the nice place where I live. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not mindful of that this is my home.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. How does t he woman define a writer’s responsibility?20. Why doesn’t the woman take herself as a writer?21. How does the woman see her works of writing?22. What’s mentioned about the themes of her writings?Long conversation 2W: Do you just study mathematics or other subjects here?M: No, I study various numbers of courses. English, cooking, computer and sociology.W: So which other subjects do you like most?M: At this present moment it’s not a matter of like, it’s a matter of what’s connected, and one of the cou rses that I find interesting and also a lot helpful, is computing. Because the only thing I ever did on a computer was to actually play games for enjoyment. Until I came here I didn’t even know what the buttons on the computer was for.W: And when you study the computer course do you see anyconnection with mathematics?M: Oh yes. Just the co-ordination between learning mathematics and using a computer. I think it would have been a lot more difficult on the computer because the whole process would have been totally new to me.W: Do you use any computer program in learning mathematics at all?M: Yes. At the present moment we are going to accomplish a project about what we learned. And in the process we have to get ourselves familiar with word processing.W: And can you tell me something about your mathematics education? Say in school?M: At the time I was in school the emphasis was basically the basic theoretic knowledge in this field. At school, one of the ideas I played around with in terms of a job qualification was to be an architect. And I could have more time for preparation for that.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. What did the man do on his computer before learning mathematics?24. Why did the man find it difficult to learn math on a computer?25. What will the man probably do after graduating from school?Section BPassage OneAlthough all Middle Eastern cultures can not be grouped into one single class, they do have similarities in their rules for the appropriateness of eye culture. Eye contact is much less common and considered less appropriate in many of these cultures than itis considered in theUnited States.Middle Eastern cultures, largely Muslim, have strict rules regarding eye contact between men and women; these rules are connected to religious laws about appropriateness. Only a brief moment of eye contact would be permitted between a man and a woman, if at all.However, western women traveling in Muslim areas should not expect that no man will attempt to make eye contact with them. As a matter of fact, their “differentness” may draw attention to them, and men may try to make eye contact with them. They should be aware, however, that returning eye contact will be considered the same as saying, “Yes, I’m interested!” So when in theMiddle East, care should be taken in making eye contact with anyone of the opposite gender.On the other hand, in many Middle Eastern cultures, intense eye contact between those of the same gender—especially between men—c an mean “I am telling you the truth! I am genuine in what I say!” Try to observe the eye contact between those of the same gender to see if it is important to meet someone’s gaze when you want to tell them, “Trust me! I’m sincere!”Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. Why are there strict rules in Muslim cultures concerning eye contact between two sexes?27. Why should western women be careful with eye contact while traveling inMiddle East?28. What does intense eye contact between two men mean in Middle Eastern countries?Passage TwoMost American workers have been so focused on just keeping their jobs that they’ve all but forgotten about promoting to a higher position. But as job openings are created, this may be the ideal m oment to get that promotion you’ve been hoping for.Don’t wait too long to make your intentions known. If you don’t volunteer for the additional responsibility, someone else will.First, assess the damage. Where are the openings in the company, and do you have the skills to fill them? If so, start doing the extra work. That’s an ideal approach, because you can prove you’re good at the job before formally asking for the promotion.In other cases, you’ll have to sell the idea to the boss before you can take on the extra duties. Either way, how you ask for the promotion is key. Speak out your request in a way that demonstrates you want to help the company get through these tough times, not just take advantage of a personal opportunity.You can say it like this: “I know what are happening, and fewer people will be doing more work. I’d like to be considered to help with that.”Don’t be put off if the answer isn’t an immediate yes. In these times, personnel decisions often require more approval than they used to. However, if your boss gives you a decisive “no”, follow up by asking, “What do you feel my deficiencies are? And what can I do to improve in the future?”Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. Why should you act promptly to grasp the chance once an opening is there?30. What should you do before formally asking for thepromotion?31. If you don’t have the skills, how can you make your intentions of promotion known?32. What should you do after being decisively denied of the promotion?Passage ThreeI was asked in an email about learning idioms in a language. To me they are kind of the dessert of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up on the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations, then you can add a few idioms to spice things up. And by that time you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.I find that many learners have a keen interest in slang and idioms, as if using some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language. In fact it is the opposite. Idioms are difficult to use correctly. They can easily sound very strange coming from someone who obviously does not have a good sense of the language.Yes, occasionally you hear idioms or slang and do not understand. But, in my experience, there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to focus on the most important words, what they mean and how they are used. Certainly, it is best for a non-native speaker to stick to standard speech.You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language. When you want to learn any interesting phrase, and if that includes idioms, just go to it. If it keeps on appearing, then you will learn it.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. Before studying idioms, what does one have to learn first?34. What’s the most common misconception about colloquial expressions?35. What’s the most effective way of learning idioms?Section CThe first step in proper telephone etiquette is preparation. Plan on how you will answer the phone when it (36) rings. Also, have a comfortable space for your telephone so you can (37) access it easily and comfortably without dropping the (38) receiver.When you answer the telephone, SMILE! It really is true that (39) callers can hear the smile in your voice, so no (40) matter what, SMILE! This does definitely show your (41) customers that they are important to you and so is their phone call.The next step is to (42) identify yourself first when you are about to (43) respond to the phone. This is VERY important in the business world. Your customers want to know who they are talking to. (44) In some companies, staff identify themselves by their first name only, or just their last name. Know your company’s policy and make sure you use it.Be as helpful as you can. (45) Sometimes you can’t solve the problem but you can always be sincere and respectful. Often, your customers may just want you to really listen to what they are saying. If you are paying close attention, this may be all they need.If your caller is actually calling someone else, take a complete message. Make sure you always have notepaper and a pen by the phone. (46) This will help you to be prepared for message taking and will help you should you need to take notes during your phone calls.。

听力（略）Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and you should decide which is the best choice. (40 points)Passage 1Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Just like children, deer often cross British roads to get to the other side. But the cost is the deer's life. At night, speeding cars hit and kill the animals. Now foresters are using natural animal instincts（本能）to prevent dangerous crossings. In England, the British Forestry Commission has installed thousands of glowing red "wolf eyes" along woodland roads. The eyes are actually reflectors, plastic bars like the red reflectors on your bike. The ten-centimeter long bars are fixed on top of posts, with only these signs directed towards the woods rather than the roads.When cars speed by, light rays from car headlights reflect off the reflectors' shining surface and flash into the woods. Deer are instantly scared by the wolf eyes ― even though wolves haven't hunted deer in Britain or even lived there for a hundred years!Scientists think the glowing light imitates the "eye shine" of nightly beasts. (You've probably seen eye shine on cats. Mirror-like cells in the eyes reflect some light that hits them.)The deer must not have "forgotten" that a wolf can run up to 72 km per hour in hot pursuit, or can sniff（嗅）deer out from 2.4 km away. In some areas where "wolf eyes" keep watch, 90 percent fewer deer have been killed at night.26. In Britain, deer's life is threatened _____ .A) by worsening environmentB) by nightly beastsC) by automobilesD) by illegal hunting27. The word "foresters" (Line 2, Para. 1) refers to _____.A) workers in charge of forestsB) traffic policemenC) raisers of wild animalsD) road-building engineers28. The nightly beasts' eyes _____.A) are as bright as mirrorsB) are as shiny as car headlightsC) can work as plastic barsD) can reflect incoming light29. The success of "wolf eyes" proves that _____.A) the deer is a kind of very timid animalB) animals can always be easily cheatedC) all things in nature are related to each otherD) the deer's fear of wolves is genetically built30. It is implied in the passage that _____.A) a wolf can run very fast in hot pursuitB) Great Britain pays great attention to animal protectionC) a wolf's smell is ten times more sensitive than man'sD) Britain has built many highways through woodlandsPassage 2Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:"Mind over matter" is an English saying meaning that we can control our bodies with our minds. Now scientists are finding increasing evidence that our mind can have a great effect on our physical health. Since our mind influences how we feel, it's not impossible to say that someone is ill just because he feels ill.The influence of the mind on how well we feel is the basis of what is known as the placebo (which is Latin for "I shall please") effect. A placebo is a harmless, inactive substance. Patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better because they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to respond to them. The placebo effect is very strong: research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect.So if it's so powerful, why don't doctors use it today?According to Dr. Persaud, they do. "Things like wearing a white coat, going to a hospital, being scanned（扫描）all have a very strong placebo effect," he says.31. The English saying "mind over matter" means that _____.A) sound mind is more important than good healthB) our mind has strong effect on our bodyC) our physical health has nothing to do with our mindD) mental health mainly depends on physical health32. According to the first paragraph, if you feel ill, _____.A) you don't need to see a doctorB) you are still in good conditionC) it doesn't necessarily mean that you're physically ill33. According to the passage, placebos _____.A) are real effective pillsB) are not real drugsC) can relieve all kinds of painD) may make patients feel worse34. The placebo effect is based on _____.A) a response of the body to drugsB) a harmless, inactive substanceC) the constant use of some special drugsD) the influence of our minds on our bodies35. Which of the following may least have a placebo effect?A) Concentrating one's mind over a matter.B) Taking sleeping pills before going to bed.C) Taking a physical examination.D) Talking with a doctor.Passage 3Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（先驱）can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don't often write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the effects of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology and come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.36. Science fiction appeared _____.A) a few decades agoB) within the last one hundred yearsC) hundreds of years agoD) thousands of years ago37.

(5 points)Two groups who want to clone human babies defended their efforts yesterday beforea panel（专门小组）set up by the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.(66) But they failed to erase concerns raised by animal-cloning researchers, who believe attempts at human cloning are unethical and may lead to dead, deformed or ill infants.(67) For a moment, many thought one would-be cloner had claimed her research group had cloned human embryos ― something researchers have avoided for ethical reasons. Brigitte Boisselier, who runs a human-cloning operation associated with a UFO-worshipping religious sect, made reference to cloned embryos while being questioned by one of the panel members about human cloning. (68) Later, she told a group of reporters she had been misunderstood: Her research team was working with cow embryos.(69) The whole exchange was typical of those between would-be human cloners, the press and the panel: sound, fury and a lot of nothing. Often, the sideshow created by the would-be cloners seemed like it might take over the meeting.Scientists at the meeting didn't doubt either group would try. (70) The chances ofsuccess appear relatively slim ― and it seems certain they would create a lot of pain and suffering.66. __________________________________________________________________________67. __________________________________________________________________________68. __________________________________________________________________________69. __________________________________________________________________________70. __________________________________________________________________________Section BDirections: In this section, you will translate 5 sentences below into English.(10 points)71. 上周.美国威胁要针对日本和俄罗斯在美国市场倾销钢材产品采取行动。
