His family didn’t know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.Jake couldn’t find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other skiand walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm(镇定). At home, Jake watched a lot of programmes about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn’t blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.After the long evening passed, Jake began to think his way out. He had to get down the mountain. The TV programmes always said,“If you are lost, you should find someone else’s tracks(足迹) through the snow and follow them.”“I wanted to live my life.”Remembers Jake. “So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.” He walked and walked and finally he saw lights......His mum was very happy when she heard the news.

It is dangerous for us to travel alone.B. Keep calm when facing difficultiesC. Never give up and you will be successfulD. It is a waste of time to watch TVBLast year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones. Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous．Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate 0n driving and talking at the same time. It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much．A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally．It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers．And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22％of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month．An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send．That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road．The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before．Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’lives at risk．No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not being professional or careful，we are put in danger by their actions．Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences(驾照)cancelled．There is no doubt that mobile phones call be fun and are extremely useful，especially when you’re in trouble．But there is no need to use them while driving．Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own．31.The underlined word“'it”in paragraph 1 refers to .A. The researchB. Using mobile phoneC. Driving while talkingD. Drinking after driving32. According to the passage, if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone．A．12．B．13．C．14. D．15．33. According to the passage, in what order do the following activities influence driving to be d angerous→m ore dangerous→most dangerousA．drinking→talking on phone→textingB．texting→talking on phone→drinkingC．talking on p hone→texting→drinkingD．drinking→texting→talking on phone34. Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?A．It will take longer to send text messages．B．People will want to talk on their phones more often．C．There will be more things for people to do with their phones．D．People think the new phones are easier and safer to use．35. According to the writer,what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?A．They should be put into prison．B．Their cars should be taken away．C．Their phones should be taken from them．D．They should not be allowed to drive any longer．CSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water．Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas． There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control．Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by usingenvironment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all, it’s free.36.What does the underline word course mean?A. 课程B. 球场C. 进程D. 一道菜37.What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It needs water and energy to keep it work.B. It causes water shortages around the worldC. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D.

广外英语专业毕业水平考试真题及答案
广外英语专业毕业水平考试真题及答案Guangwai English Proficiency Test: A Comprehensive Analysis The Guangwai English Proficiency Test (GEPT) gauges the English proficiency of non-native speakers. It is widely recognized by universities, employers, and government agencies in China and abroad. The test assesses candidates' abilities in four key areas: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. In this essay, we will delveinto the structure, preparation strategies, and significance of the GEPT,exploring the diverse perspectives surrounding this examination. Structural Overview of the GEPT The GEPT consists of three levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level comprises a written test and an oral test. The written test evaluates listening and reading comprehension, while the oral test assesses speaking and writing skills. The Basic level is designed for beginners withlimited English proficiency, while the Intermediate level is suitable for those with a solid foundation in the language. The Advanced level is the mostchallenging and is intended for highly proficient English users. Effective Preparation for the GEPT Thorough preparation is crucial for success in the GEPT. Language learners should allocate ample time for studying and practicing the four core skills. Active listening and reading strategies, such as taking notes, summarizing, and predicting content, can significantly enhance comprehension abilities. For writing, practicing various formats, such as essays, reports, and emails, can improve fluency and accuracy. Speaking skills can be honed through conversations with native speakers, participation in language exchange programs,or attending speech classes. Perspectives on the GEPT The GEPT has elicited diverse perspectives. Some candidates view it as a valuable tool for assessingtheir English proficiency and setting goals for further improvement. The test provides a standardized measure of language skills, which can be beneficial for both academic and professional purposes. Additionally, the GEPT can motivate learners to enhance their English abilities and expand their career opportunities. However, others express concerns about the potential limitations of the GEPT. Critics argue that the test overemphasizes grammar and vocabulary, neglecting more practical aspects of language use, such as communication and critical thinking. Moreover, the reliance on multiple-choice questions may not fully capturecandidates' true language proficiency. Significance of the GEPT Despite these criticisms, the GEPT remains a significant examination for non-native English speakers. Its widespread recognition and standardized format make it a valuable credential for demonstrating English proficiency. The test can open doors to higher education, employment, and global communication. Additionally, preparingfor the GEPT can foster a deeper understanding of the English language and enhance overall language skills. In conclusion, the Guangwai English Proficiency Test is a comprehensive assessment of English language proficiency that has garnered both praise and criticism. Candidates should carefully consider their individual needs and aspirations when deciding whether to take the test. With thorough preparation and a nuanced understanding of the GEPT's strengths and limitations, candidates can leverage this examination to advance their English language proficiency and achieve their educational and professional goals.。

Reading comprehension（每小题1分，共1分×10题＝10分）Passage OnePeople today are still talking about the generation gap(代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all. What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life-style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.Parents often expect their children to do better thanthey do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight(隔夜).1.According to the passage, children today expect their parents to ________.A .give them more independence B. choose a good job for themC. live together with themD. make more money2.Parents often hope that their children will ________.A. make as much money as they doB. be more successful than they areC.choose jobs according to their own willD. avoid doing what their parents can’t do3.The generation gap has become wider than before because of ________.A. the increasing dependence of their parentsB. the influence of traditional culture on childrenC. the rapid changes of modern societyD. the missing of lifelong occupation4.In today’s society, the knowledge of a lifetime ________.A. is still very much valuedB. becomes out of date quicklyC. is essential for continuing family occupationsD. helps the young generation to find a better job5. A proper title for this passage would be ________.A. Parents’ Viewpoints on Generation GapB. Relationship Between Family MembersC. Generation Gap Between the Young and the OldD. Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern KnowledgePassage 2For some employers, the policy of lifelong employment is particularly important because it means that they can put money and effort into their staff(职员) training and make them loyal to the company. What they do is to select young people who have potential(潜能) and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees for the company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs.One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. “This means that I will be a loyal employee,” she says. “And it also means that the company will want to keep me. I am an important investment for them. So the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employee.”Recently, however, attitudes towards lifelong employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not always in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages.6.The purpose of lifelong employment is to ________.A. adjust the needs of the company to its employeesB. make employees loyal to their companyC. select the best skilled young employeesD. keep the skilled staff satisfied7. By training its employees, a company can make them ________.A. do their work more easilyB. more interested in their workC. willing to invest money into the companyD. possess the necessary qualities for the job8.Talking about the training she has received, a recently employed graduate has theview that ________.A. it is still well-received by all the staff members todayB. it is valuable to the employer and the employeeC. it is helpful for attracting young employeesD. it is both useful and interesting9.Attitudes towards lifelong employment are changing because ________.A. job changes have career advantagesB. it’s boring to work in only one companyC. only the employer benefits from such employmentD. stable employment seldom offers better opportunities10.The passage is mainly about ________.A. lifelong training of employeesB. policies of lifelong employmentC. attitudes towards lifelong employmentD. employers’ interest in lifelong employmentVI. Translation: Put the following Chinese into English and English into Chinese. (每题2分,共2×5题＝10分)1.Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrificehigher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.2.The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she wentdown on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.3.想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。

The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through The Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institution, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.1) Almost all companies involved in new production and development must _____.A. rely on their own financial resourcesB. persuade the banks to provide long-term financeC. borrow large sums of money from friends and people we knowD. depend on the population as a whole for finance2) The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is _____.A. repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleB. raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC. exchanged for part ownership in The Stock ExchangeD. invested in different companies on The Stock ExchangeIV.

B 63. …Now, do the Reading Comprehension.Text ATommy Albelin, a Devils defenseman, was the team‘s most effective performer the night the Stanley Cup champions played their best game of the young season. Playing left wing instead of defense against the Detroit Red Wings last Thursday night, Albelin scored the second goal of the game and made the pass that set up the fourth one.Albelin played so well in the 4-2 victory that Coach Jacques Lemaire said, ―Tommy, you lost your job.‖―I was kind of surprised,‖ Albelin said today. ―When he saw the look on my face, he said very quickly ‗as a defenseman‘ and I knew then he was joking.‖Lemaire had Albelin right back on defense in the next game, last Saturday‘s 4-1 triumph over the Ottawa Senators. Albelin responded just as well, making the pass for the winning goal.With Brian Rolston leaving today‘s practice because of a foot problem and ready to join Bobby Holik and Bob Carpenter as injured Devils, look for Albelin to return to left wing when New Jersey plays the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.This season, the 31-year-old Albelin has played left wing three times and defenseman four. In addition, because Albelin is so adept at skating and puck-handling, Lemaire has been using him for penalty killing and the power play.―It‘s a big advantage to have a player like him,‖ Lemaire said after today‘s practice. ―When you don‘t have the necessary player to play against a player, you can use Abbey because he adjusts very well. He listens to all the things I tell the defe nsemen and all the things I tell the forwards. ―Lemaire‘s decision to shuttle Albelin is not prompted by a desire to find the best position for him. Rather, it is testimony to Albelin‘s versatility.Albelin was used as a left wing for the first time by Herb Brooks, the man whom Lemaire replaced afterBrooks resigned three summers ago, but he played only a handful of games in that position.The Devils changed coaches frequently in Albelin‘s early years with the team. As a result, Albelin contemplated returning home to Sweden several times. But he said today he was glad he never did.Albelin came to the Devils from Quebec in 1988 and has been a solid player. Year after year, despite coaching changes, injuries and the presence of marquee names like Scott Stevens, Slava Fetisov, Stephane Richer and Claude Lemeiux, Albelin‘s dedication and consummate professionalism have made him an integral part of the team.―My philosophy has always been to play where the team needs me,‖ Albelin said. ―I don‘t question the deci sions by the coaches. As long as I‘m out there on the ice, I don‘t care what position I play.‖Albelin has performed effectively at wing and on defense despite the different responsibilities. Judging by the way Albelin described them, it is clear he prefers to play defense.―There are a lot of adjustments you have to make as a forward,‖ Albelin said, ―You have to be a little more creative, do more things with the puck. Improvise somewhat, but to a point. As a defenseman, you can get by most of the time by g iving the puck to your forwards and support the play.‖Albelin said today that the uncertainty over whether he will play defense or offense on any given night was not much of a concern in terms of preparing himself.―I don‘t mind as long as I know before t he warm-ups,‖ he said.61.

The Best Player in DevilsC. The Versatile Albelin in CanucksD. Versatile Albelin Brings Devil VictoriesText BThe effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought. How much water does it draw? If it awaken you to think, if it lift you from your feet with the great voice of eloquence, then the effect is to be wide, slow, permanent, over the minds of men; if the pages instruct you not, they will die like flies in the hour. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is, to speak and write sincerely.The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. But take Sidney‘s maxim: —―Look in thy heart, and write.‖ He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when t he empty book has gathered all its praise, and half the people say, ―What poetry! What genius!‖ it still needs fuel to make fire. That only profits which is profitable. Life alone can impart life; and though we should burst, we can only be valued as we make ourselves valuable. There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man‘s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last. Gilt edges, vellum, and morocco, and presentation-copies to all the libraries, will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic dat e. It must go with all Walpole‘s Noble and Royal Authors to its fate. Blackmore, Kotzebue, or Pollok may endure for a night, but Moses and Homer stand forever. There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato: — never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them in his hand. ―No book,‖ said Bentley, ―was ever written down by any but itself.‖ The permanence o f all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man. ―Do not trouble yourself too much about the light on your statue,‖ said Michelangelo to the young sculptor; ―the light of the public square will test its value.‖In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment. But now, every thing he did, even to the lifting of his finger or the eating of bread, looks large, all-related, and is called an institution.67. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _________.A. Only the thing that is profitable profits.B. If the pages do not instruct you, they will not die like flies in the hour.C. Only the statement, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your reader‘s curiosity, is fit to be madepublic.D. He that writes by himself writes to an eternal public.68. ―How much water does it draw?‖ means__________.A. How much content does it have?B. How much influence does it exert?C. How much value does it have?D. How important is it?69. A writer‘s fame is decided upon by __________.A. partial and noisy readersB. a court of angelsC. an angel-like public not to be bribedD. a public to be bribed70.

The permanence of all books is fixed by__________.A. no effortB. friendly effortC. hostile effortD. their own specific gravityText CPsychologists study memory and learning with both animal and human subjects. The two experiments reviewed here show how short-term memory has been studied.Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special apparatus which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was a light in each door. First the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunters did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. The rat had to wait different intervals before it was released from the cage. Hunter found that if the rat had to wait more than ten seconds, it could not remember the correct door. Hunter‘s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 students at the University of California in Los Angeles. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Some of them had four unrelated choices. For instance, weather, method, love, result could be used as four unrelated words. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning‘s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their shot-term memory.72. In hunter‘s experiment, the rat had to remember_________.A. where the food wasB. how to leave the cageC. how big the cage wasD. which light was turned on73. Hunter found that rats_________.A. can remember only where their food isB. cannot learn to go to the correct doorC. have no short-term memoryD. have a short-term memory of one-sixth a minute74. Henning tested the students‘ memory of _________.A. words copied several timesB. words explainedC. words heardD. words seen75. Henning concluded that beginning and advanced students________.A. have no difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryB. differ in the way they retain wordsC. have much difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryD. hold words in their short-term memory in the same way76. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT_________.A. The rat could find the correct door when the light of the next door was turned offB. The rat could find the correct door to get the food whenever it was released from its cageC. Each of the three doors had a light that was turned onD. The rat could remember where to find the food if it waited for less than ten secondsText DA Frenchman, the psychologist Alfred Binet, published the first standardized test of human intelligence in 1905. But it was an American, Lewis Terman, a psychology professor at Stanford, who thought to divide a test taker‘s ―mental age‖, as revealed by that score, by his or her chronological age to derive a number that he called the ―intelligence quotient‖, or IQ. It would be hard to think of a pop-scientific coinage that has had a greater impact on the way people think about themselves and others.No country embraced the IQ – and the application of IQ testing to restructure society – more thoroughly than the U.S. Every year millions of Americans have their I Q measured, many with a direct descendant of Binet‘s original test, the Standford-Binet, although not necessarily for the purpose Binet intended. He developed his test as a way of identifying public school students who needed extra help in learning, and that is still one of its leading uses.But the broader and more controversial use of IQ testing has its roots in a theory of intelligence –part science, part sociology – that developed in the late 19th century, before Binet‘s work and entirely separate fro m it. Championed first by Charles Darwin‘s cousin Francis Galton, it held that intelligence was the most valuable human attribute, and that if people who had a lot of it could be identified and put in leadership positions, all of society would benefit.Terman believed IQ tests should be used to conduct a great sorting out of the population, so that young people would be assigned on the basis of their scores to particular levels in the school system, which would lead to corresponding socioeconomic destinations in adult life. The beginning of the IQ-testing movement overlapped with the eugenics movement –hugely popular in America and Europe among the ―better sort‖ before Hitler gave it a bad name –which held that intelligence was mostly inherited and that people-deficient in it should be discouraged from reproducing. The state sterilization that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes notoriously endorsed in a 1927 Supreme Court decision was done with an IQ score as justification.The American IQ promoters scored a great coup during World War I when they persuaded the Army to give IQ tests to 1.7 million inductees. It was the world‘s first mass administration of an intelligence test, and many of the standardized tests in use today can be traced back to it: the now ubiquitous and obsessed-over SA T (Study Ability Test); the Wechler, taken by several million people a year, according to its publisher; and Terman‘s own National Intelligence Test, originally used in tracking elementary school children. All these tests took from the Army the basic technique of measuring intelligence mainly by asking vocabulary questions (synonyms, antonyms,analogies, reading comprehension).77. According to Terman‘s theory, a twelve-year-old boy‘s mental age is 10, then his IQ number is about __________.A. 0.8B. 0.9C. 1.0D. 1.278. IQ test is originally used to ___________.A. find out the students who need extra help in learningB. assign young people to different majorsC. select the acceptable recruits for armyD. select the leaders for society79. The viewpoint that intelligence was mostly inherited and people deficient in intelligence should bediscouraged from reproducing was held by ___________.A.IQ-testing movementB. Eugenic movementC.HitlerD. both IQ-testing and Eugenic movements80. What does the author probably mean by ―scored a great coup‖ (see Para. 5)?A. FailedB. SucceededC. CriticizedD. AdvocatedText EHistorical developments of the past half century and the invention of modern telecommunication and transportation technologies have created a world economy. Effectively the American economy has died and been replaced by a world economy.In the future, there is no such thing as being an American manager. Even someone who spends an entire management career in Kansas City is in international management. He or she will compete with foreign firms, buy from foreign firms, sell to foreign films, or acquire financing from foreign banks.The globalization of the world‘s capit al markets that has occurred in the past 10 years will be replicated right across the economy in the next decade. An international perspective has become central to management. Without it managers are operating in ignorance and cannot understand what is happening to them and their firms.Partly because of globalization and partly because of demography, the work forces of the next century are going to be very different from those of the last century. Most firms will be employing more foreign nationals. More likely than not, you and your boss will not be of the same nationality. Demography and changing social mores mean that white males will become a small fraction of the work force as women and minorities grow in importance. All of these factors will require changes in the traditional methods of managing the work force.In addition, the need to produce goods and services at quality levels previously thought impossible to obtain in mass production and the spreading use of participatory management techniques will require a work force with much higher levels of education and skills. Production workers must be able to do statistical quality control; production workers must be able to do just in-time inventories. Managers are increasingly shifting from a ―don‘t th ink, do what you are told‖ to a ―think, I am not going to tell you what to do‖ style of management.This shift is occurring not because today‘s managers are more enlightened than yesterday‘s managers but because the evidence is rapidly mounting that the second style of management is more productive than the first style of management. But this means that problems of training and motivating the work force both become more central and require different modes of behaviour.In the word of tomorrow managers cannot be technologically illiterate regardless of their functional tasks within the firm. They don‘t have to be scientists or engineers inventing new technologies, but they have to be managers who understand when to bet and when not to bet on new technologie s. If they don‘t understand what is going on and technology effectively becomes a black box, they will fail to make the changes that those who do。

In general, personalities grow out of complex interaction of temperament and past experiences. Early experiences are very important in the 1 of the ways that people feel about themselves and others and their ways of responding tosituations. The ability to 2 in positive and healthy ways appears to be related to a person learning to trust others in their early years and to see the world as a 3 good and nurturing place.Adults who have had their basic needs met in childhood and 4 have developed trust in themselves and in the world are 5 to have the ability to support the growth and development of others. People who 6 this basic trust may not have had their needs met in 7 ways in their early lives, and this may lead to 8 problems and the need for a great deal of support and reassurance in adulthood. They may have a difficult time 9 nurturing and supportive 10 others.Sensitivity to others and a positive sense of self are essential 11 for becoming a person, especially a teacher, who can support the development of children. Skills in 12 trust and developing relationships are 13 as you come to know yourself 14 , accept yourself, and then learn more about children and how to work successfully with them.In order to become an authentic person, 15 who possesses awareness and empathy and who is willing to relate to others in nurturing ways, it is necessary to know and accept yourself, 16 to realistically appraise areas in which change may be needed, and to see yourself in a lifelong process of growth and change. It is important to be open to new experiences, to 17 and deal withfeelings, and to experience relationships in ever-increasing depth and18 . This self-knowledge is, to a great extent, dependent on developing the ability to observe 19 in the same honest and 20 way that one learns to observe children. It also involves learning to accept criticism from others as valuable feedback that can provide a source of growth, instead of as something to defend 21 or to use to berate or belittle oneself. The capacity for self-knowledge and acceptance is the 22 for the quality of compassion that is so important in a teacher.We realize that no one of us is 23 self-aware, mature, wise, compassionate, and insightful all of the time. All of us have tendencies to be defensive. It is important to develop the capacity for self-awareness and some 24 of the kind of behavior and relationships 25 which we aspire. It is 26 important to understand that 27 everyone experiences strong and unpleasant emotions like anger and fear 28 , it is possible to learn to observe and choose how to respond to these feelings 29 acting 30 them in ways that may be destructive.II.

An examination of businesses that have sustained success over long periods reveal boards that have governed the affairs of the business effectively. Likewise, with businesses that have performed poor, it is rather commonplace to track the problems to boards that have not been addressed the issues confronting their businesses effectively. The popular press reveals examples of the latter with regular, whereas the business press less frequently highlights boards with (31) _______(32) _______(33) _______(34) _______(35)________strong performance.The management of a corporation is usuallyaccomplished under leadership of a chief executive officer (CEO), who reports the board of directors. While boards play a variety of roles, effective organizations acknowledge the board?srole in selecting the CEO, advising and consenting to the selection of businesses and strategies, overseeing results.An important distinct between publicly owned businesses and privately owned businesses is that privately owned businesses tend to owner-managed. Because of the owners of private businesses are directly involved in their enterprises, they are better informed about the affairs of the business and can reasonably represent their own interests. They have not delegated control on a representative board of directors. Thus the potential conflicts of interest that exist between investors and who have been hired to run the business are not as relevant. Even, many of the governance principles that apply to publicly owned businesses are also applicable to privately owned businesses.

It is quietly working on amessage, to put on its Web site early next year, to emphasize that screening for breast and prostate cancers and certain other cancers can come with a real risk of overtreating many small cancers while missing cancers that are deadly.The cancer society?s decision to reconsider its message about the risks as well as potential benefits of screening was spurred in part by an analysis published Wednesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the cancer society, said.In it, researchers report a 40 percent increase in breast cancer diagnoses and a near doubling of early stage cancers, but just a 10 percent decline in cancers that have spread beyond the breast to the lymph nodes or elsewhere in the body. With prostate cancer, the situation is similar, the researchers report.If breast and prostate cancer screening really fulfilled their promise, the researchers note, cancers that once were found late, when they were often incurable, would now be found early, when they could be cured. A large increase in early cancers would be balanced by a corresponding decline in late-stage cancers. That is what happened with screening for colon and cervical cancers. But not with breast and prostate cancers.Still, the researchers and others say, they do not think all screening will —or should —go away. Instead, they say that when people make a decision about being screened, they should understand what is known about the risks and benefits. For now, those risks are not emphasized in the cancer society?s mammogram message which states that a mammogram is “one of the best things a woman can do to protect her health.”The new analysis finds that prostate cancer screening and breast cancer screening are not so different. Both have a problemthat runs counter to everything people have been told about cancer: They are finding cancers that do not need to be found because they would never spread and kill or even be noticed if left alone. That has led to a huge increase in cancer diagnoses because, without screening, those innocuous cancers would go undetected.At the same time, both screening tests are not making much of a dent in the number of cancers that are deadly. That may be because many lethal breast cancers grow so fast they spring up between mammograms. And the deadly prostate ones have already spread at the time of cancer screening. The dilemma for breast and prostate screening is that it is not usually clear which tumors need aggressive treatment and which can be left alone.“The issue here is, as we look at cancer medicine over the last 35 or 40 years, we have always worked to treat cancer or to find cancer early,” Dr. Brawley said. “And we never sat back and actu ally thought, …Are we treating the cancers that need to be treated??”61. The first two paragraphs of the passage show the AmericanCancer Society ________.A. in shift concerning cancer screeningB. in strong opposition to cancer screeningC. focusing on the benefits of cancer screeningD. overtreating the risks that come with cancer screening62. The author turns to the statistics and follow-up reasoning, thepurpose of which is to tell the reader ________.A. how much American cancer medicine has done to prevent breastand prostate cancer deathsB. how hard it is for American cancer medicine to do to preventbreast and prostate cancer deathsC. cancer screening has failed to reduce late-stage breast and prostatecancers as has been promisedD. cancer screening has failed even to find early-stage breast andprostate cancers as has been promised63. As suggested in Paragraphs 6 and 7, the difference betweenbenign and deadly tumors lies in the fact that ________.A. benign tumors have not been noticedB. deadly tumors have been left alone in the early stageC. deadly tumors, when screened, are already in the late stageD. benign tumors, when they are found, are already in the late stage64. When hearing Dr. Brawley saying “The issue here is…And wenever s at back and actually thought, …Are we…?”, one may be left with an impression that American cancer medicine begins to ________.A. see that 40 years is not enough to find and treat cancers earlyB. doubt if it is the right thing to do to find and treat all cancersC. protest doctors have not felt relaxed when fighting cancersD. realize doctors have been asked to offer fruitless labor65. When finishing reading the passage, one may conclude that in thepast decades American cancer medicine has been ________.A. working so hard that the breast and prostate cancer rates havedropped to some extent after allB. using cancer screening to protect the health of people, especiallyof the victims to breast and prostate cancersC. trying to cure people of late-stage cancers, especially late-stagebreast and prostate cancers, although their efforts don?t pay much D. labeling and treating benign tumors as though they could be lethalwhen in fact they are not dangerous, but a change is in sight nowText BThe Obama administration and the Federal Reserve launched a two-pronged campaign to crack down on pay practices across the financial system Thursday, marking an unprecedented foray into the private sector by the federal government on a matter that traditionally has been left to veiled board room discussions.President Obama's pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, announced drastic cuts in pay for 175 top executives at seven companies that received hundreds of billions of dollars worth of federal bailout money during the financial crisis. At a news conference at the Treasury Department, Feinberg said he hoped the new pay structures -- which tie compensation at the firms to their long-term performance and reduces the cash salary some executivesreceive by 90 percent -- would serve as a model for Wall Street and corporate America.Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve issued new guidelines that will restrict pay practices at all banks to prevent them from paying employees in ways that could endanger the firms' long-term financial health. Unlike Feinberg's plan, the Fed's guidance would cover all banks, even those that never received a bailout as well as U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies. "Compensation practices at some banking organizations have led to misaligned incentives and excessive risk-taking, contributing to bank losses and financial instability," Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said. "The Federal Reserve is working to ensure that compensation packages appropriately tie rewards to long-term performance."The two moves represent Washington's most dramatic push to reform executive compensation on Wall Street. The issue has long been controversial, but blew up into a firestorm in March when it was revealed American International Group, the recipient of a $180 billion bailout package, was paying hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses to a trading division that nearly brought the company and the financial system to its knees.Unlike Feinberg's plan, however, the guidelines do not cap the amount of compensation that banks can give their employees, nor do they prohibit any particular pay practices. Rather, the effort requires that banks ensure that their pay practices do not encourage executives,traders, or other employees to take irresponsible risks, such as by offering huge bonuses for making bets without regard to the risks that such bets could lose money in the long term. "Incentive compensation practices in the financial industry were one of many factors contributing to the financial crisis," theproposed guidance said. "Banking organizations too often rewarded employees for increasing the firm's revenue or short-term profit without adequate recognition of the risks the employees' activities posed to the firm."The Fed, at this stage, did not propose one-size-fits-all guidelines for compensation, such as requiring that some fixed percentage of bonus pay to senior executives be deferred or come in the form of stock, rather than cash. Rather, the guidelines call for pay packages that balance risks and rewards, that judge performance over longer time horizons and that de-emphasize short-term performance.The pay issue has been particularly thorny for the Obama administration. Feinberg said he had to find a way to protect taxpayer interests and get the money paid back while not stripping the companies' ability to retain talented workers.Feinberg said his review of pay at the firms showed the amount of guaranteed cash paid to the top 25 employees was way too high, so he shifted significant amounts to stock that can only be sold in one-third installments beginning in 2011.66. In the campaign to crack down on pay practices across thefinancial system, one thing both the Administration and the Fed did, among others, was that they ________.A. announced cuts in executive payB. restricted pay practices at all banksC. reduced the cash salary executives receivedD. required the firms tie compensation to the long-term performance67. The causes behind the two-pronged campaign were perhaps many,but the immediate one was that ________.A. part of the bailout money went as bonuses to an AIG unit whoseperformance nearly brought the company to financial ruinB. incentive compensation practices in the financial industry becameone of many factors contributing to the financial crisisC. some companies were found paying employees in ways that couldendanger the firms' long-term financial healthD. compensation practices at some banking organizations led tomisaligned incentives and other things68. The Obama administration and the Federal Reserve took theirmoves separately. The following were some of the moves taken except ________.A. reducing the pay for 175 top executives at seven companiesB. asking for pay packages that could balance risks and rewardsC. suggesting the companies serve as a model for Wall Street andcorporate AmericaD. setting no limit to the amount of compensation banks could givetheir employees69. The moves the Obama administration took boiled down to________.A. cutting down on the pay for executives at companies receivingfederal bailouts and turning a lot of their cash salary into stock B. discouraging executives, traders, or other employees from takingrisks, such as by offering huge bonuses for making betsC. judging the business performance over longer time horizons andde-emphasizing short-term performance at the firmsD. asking the seven companies to submit detailed plans for how theywould plan to comply with the guidance70. The Fed?s effort was separate from the Obama administration todramatically reduce compensation for top executives at the companies that had received government bailouts. Compared with the administration?s actions, ________.A. it was a more hands-on thingB. it had a broader scopeC. it was a more stringent policyD. it showed a truer sceneText CThe nation's preeminent seniors group, the American Association of Retired Persons, has put the weight of its 40 million members behind health-care reform, saying many of the proposals will lower costs and increase the quality of care for older Americans.But not advertised in this lobbying campaign have been the group's substantial earnings from insurance royalties and the potential benefits that could come its way from many of thereform proposals.The group and its subsidiaries collected more than $650 million in royalties and other fees last year from the sale of insurance policies, credit cards and other products that carry the AARP name, accounting for the majority of its $1.14 billion in revenue, according to federal tax records. It does not directly sell insurance policies but lends its name to plans in exchange for a tax-exempt cut of the premiums.The organization also heavily markets the policies on its Web site, in mailings to its members and through ubiquitous advertising targeted at seniors.GOP lawmakers point to AARP's thriving business in marketing branded Medigap policies, which provide supplemental coverage for standard Medicare plans available to the elderly. Democratic proposals to slash reimbursements for another program, called Medicare Advantage, are widely expected to drive up demand for private Medigap policies like the ones offered by AARP, according to health-care experts, legislative aides and documents."We are witnessing a disturbing trend of handouts to special interests like AARP," said House Republican spokesman Matt Lloyd, referring to Democratic negotiations over health reform. "In return, AARP is lobbying for a government-run health-care bill that will pad their own executives' pockets at the expense of its own members and other vulnerable seniors."AARP officials strongly dispute such allegations, arguing that the group's heavy reliance on brand royalties allows it to offer members a wide range of benefits -- from lobbying for seniors in Washington to discount travel packages and financial advice.Dean A. Zerbe, a former Grassley senior counsel who is nownational managing director at the corporate tax firm Alliant Group, argues that AARP's involvement in the sale of insurance plans "really hurts their credibility." "Either you're a voice for the elderly or you're an insurance company; choose one," Zerbe said.Republicans renewed their attacks on AARP this year after the group emerged as a vigorous defender of many of the reforms under consideration by the Democrat-controlled Congress. Nancy LeaMond, an AARP executive vice president, appeared at a press conference Friday alongside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to announce a new proposal for plugging gaps in coverage of Medicare prescription benefits.71. AARP has made its money primarily through ________.A. marketing its royalties on its Web siteB. granting use of its name to insurance plansC. selling policies, credit cards and other productsD. asking the ubiquitous advertisers to sell their policies72. GOP lawmakers lash out at the organization?s practices, showingthat AARP?s thriving business will have something to do with ________.A. democrats meaning to have it sell private Medigap policiesB. its marketing its branded Medigap policies alongside MedicareC. its supplanting standard Medicare with branded Medigap policiesD. democrats proposing to cut the payments for Medicare Advantage73. House Republican spokesman says “We are witnessing adisturbing trend of handouts to special interests like AARP”, inwhich “interests” may help describe AARP as _________.A. having certain rights for the handoutsB. showing interest in various insurance plansC. enjoying interest that accrues by holding the handoutsD. being a group of people working in the same business74. Republicans renew their attacks on the organization this yearbecause AARP ________.A. has turned into a division of the Democratic PartyB. cheers the passing in Congress of a democrat-drafted billC. lends its strong support to the reforms launched by democratsD. has one of its top executives appearing alongside Nancy Pelosi75. When finishing reading the passage, one may draw the conclusionthat the American Association of Retired Persons is anorganization ________.A. having monopoly on insurance businessB. owned by retired persons and their executivesC. working as a reform advocate and insurance salesmanD. looked on as handling its business in lobbyist activitiesText DWhen we say a person or an experience is “packaged,”we are complaining of a sense of excessive calculation and a lack of authenticity. Such a fear of unreality is at least a century old; it arose along with industrialization and rapid communication. Now that the world is more competitive, and we all believe we haveless time to consider things, the craft of being instantaneously appealing has taken on more and more importance. We might say, cynically, that the person who appears “packaged” simply doesn?t have good packaging.Still, the sense of uneasiness about encountering packaged people in a packaged world is real, and it shouldn?t be dismissed. Indeed, it is a theme of contemporary life, equally evident in politics, entertainment, and the supermarket. Moreover, public uneasiness about the phenomenon of packaging is compounded by confusion over a loss of iconic packages and personalities.Producers of packaged products have probably never been as nervous as they became during the first half of the 1990s. Many of the world?s most famous brands were involved in the merger mania of the 1980s, which produced debt-ridden companies that couldn?t afford to wait for results either from their managers or their marketing strategies. At the same time, the feeling was that it was fartoo risky to produce something really new. The characteristic response was the line extension—“dry”beer, “lite”mayonnaise, “ultra” detergent. New packages have been appearing at a rapid pace, only to be changed whenever a manager gets nervous or a retailer loses patience.The same skittishness is evident in the projection of public personalities as the clear, if synthetic, images of a few decades ago have lost their sharpness and broken into a spectrum of weaker, reflected apparitions. Marilyn Monroe, for example, had an image that was, Jayne Mansfield notwithstanding, unique and well defined. She was luscious as a Hershey?s bar, shapely as a Coke bottle. But in a world where Coke can be sugar free, caffeine free, and cherry flavored, just one image isn?t enough for asuperstar. Madonna is available as Marilyn or as a brunette, a Catholic schoolgirl, or a bondage devotee. Who knows what brand extension will come next?76. In Paragraph 1 is “the craft of being instantaneouslyappealing…importance”, by which the author means to tell the reader that people lay increasingly great emphasis on the art of__________.A. making the packaging look so good as to pertain to a particularpoint of timeB. adding to the charm of the packaging in no timeC. polishing the packaging quickly to hold much attractionD. showing the beauty of the packaging at the earliest opportunity77. In Paragraph 2 is “Indeed, it is a theme of contemporary life,equally evident in politics, entertainment, and the supermarket.”The sentence tells the reader that__________.A. writers become uneasy about the unreal and in their workscovering life in politics, entertainment, and the supermarket that they turn their uneasiness into a theme running through them all B. musicians become uneasy about the unreal and in their workscovering life in politics, entertainment, and the supermarket that they turn their uneasiness into a theme running through them all C. uneasiness looms so that people making a living, say, in politics,entertainment, and the supermarket can?t but talk about itD. uneasiness looms so that people making a living, say, in。

AThree divers enter a hole leading to a water-f illed cave on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. They swim for an hour. Finally, they reach a large room 60 feet underground and about the size of two basketball courts. Here, they discover an upside-down human skull (the bones of a person’s head). Other bones lay nearby.The team came across the skull in 2007. The divers then told the Mexican government about the finding. Soon the government formed a team of scientists to look into it. The group, which included archaeologist (考古学家) Dominique Rissolo, believed that the skull belonged to someone who lived in the last ice age. At the ice age’s height some twenty thousand years ago, sea levels dropped and new land appeared. Over time, rain and wind ate holes into some of the land.“The person may have died after entering the cave,” Rissolo says. Then, when the ice age ended some ten thousand years ago, sea levels rose. Water flooded the cave, covering theremains.Worrying that moving the skull might destroy it, scientists decided to examine it at its Array watery resting place. They collected information about the skull and other pieces of bones. They found that the bones belonged to a 15- to 17-year-old girl who lived at least twelve thousand years ago. The team named her Naia after some sea creatures in Greek myths.Naia is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton (骨架) ever found in the Americas. DNA tests showed that she’s a direct ancestor of present-day Native Americans. Naia’s DNA also matches with people native to Siberia, a part of Russia. Scientists have long thought that ancient people from this area arrived in Alaska during the last ice age. They were the first humans to live in the Americas. And Naia proves how far south they went. (Mexico is a country to the south of the US.)In 2014 the scientists decided to bring up Naia’s skull from the cave to protect it from curious divers. So it was taken to a lab, where it remains today.1、What do we learn about the skull?A．It was left alone in the cave.B．It lay under a basketball court.C．It drew the government’s attention.D．It was discovered by three scientists.2、When did Naia probably live?A．After the last ice age ended.B．Before the last ice age ended.C．Before the last ice age started.D．At the beginning of the last ice age.3、Why was the skull studied in the cave for several years?A．Scientists tried to protect it.B．The temperature was fine in there.C．It was against the law to take it out.D．It would help scientists study the cave,4、Who were Naia’s distant ancestors?A．Early humans in Greece.B．Early humans in Siberia.C．Early humans in Alaska. Array D．Early humans in Mexico.BEncouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world.” Mr. Al Shehi added.1、What can we learn about the UAE project?A．It will help the UAE harvest freshwater.B．It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.C．It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.D．It will completely change the climate in the UAE.2、Where could the block of ice come from? Array A．The Atlantic Ocean. B．Fujariah.C．The Gulf. D．Heard Island.3、Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?A．The local people. B．Antarctica.C．The weather. D．Tourism.4、The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show ________.A．the process of the project B．the possibility of the planC．the purpose of the company D．the comments on the scheme第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’11 most certainl y be right．”It made a deep 1 on me．and since then, for the past 33 years，I have 2 in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life， 3 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 4 ，I know I need to change something．Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 6 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death，7 only what is truly importantAbout a year ago I was 8 with cancer.

Moreover, it has not only come to stay but, especially in the developing countries, it will become more felt and acute with the passage of time. Its repercussions are so wide-ranging and manifold that they can only be ignored at a tremendous cost to society.The growing rate of population ageing poses many challenges which have to be faced realistically.A number of decisions have to he taken with the cooperation of every social institution, he it the State, Non-Governmental Organizations, the community, the family members and last but not least, the older persons themselves. Each has a very important role to play in ensuring a sustainable development for the elderly population.Governments and civil society including organizations of older persons, academia, community-based organizations and the private sector need to help in capacity building on ageing issues. As the Shanghai Implementation Strategy points out, "A life-course and inter-sectoral approach to health and well-being is the best approach to ensure that both current and future generations of older persons remain healthy and active."The gap between the projected increases of the older population and the consequently required services, combined with the parallel development of the personnel needed to carry out these services, creates a pressing and urgent need to train appropriate staff. Training programmes have to be tailored to the nature of the participants, the work they are doing and the needs entailed. Though the basic issues dealt with might often be the same, the approach differs. It will be important in the not too distant future to explore innovative ways of providing education and training in rural and remote areas and to apply, as much as possible, the new and emerging communication technologies to facilitate and enhance these programmes.Every member of society should realize that aging is a process. Consequently, older persons are to be seen as equal citizens of any society, sharing the same rights like other citizens. Any form of discrimination is to be eradicated.（分数：60.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(人口老龄化已经成为一个全球性的现象。

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Section 1 Multiple choice questions (20 points, 2 points for each) Directions: In this section there are reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then write your answers on your answer sheet.Passage 1On New Year’s Day, 50,000 inmates in Kenyan jails went without lunch. This was not some mass hunger strike to highlight poor living conditions. It was an extraordinary humanitarian gesture: the money that would have been spent on their lunches went to the charity Food Aid to help feed an estimated 3.5 million Kenyans who, because of a severe drought, are threatened with starvation. The drought is big news in Africa, affecting huge areas of east Africa and the Horn. If you are reading this in the west, however, you may not be aware of it—the media is not interested in old stories. Even if you do know about the drought, you may not be aware that it is devastating one group of people disproportionately: the pastoralists. There are 20 million nomadic or semi-nomadic herders in this region, and they are fast becoming some of the poorest people in the continent. Their plight encapsulates Africa’s perennial problem with drought and f amine. How so? It comes down to the reluctance of governments, aid agencies and foreign lenders to support the herders’ traditional way of life. Instead they have tended to try to turn them into commercial ranchers or agriculturalists, even though it has been demonstrated time and again that pastoralists are well adapted to their harsh environments, and that moving livestock according to the seasons or climatic changes makes their methods far more viable than agriculture in sub-Saharan drylands.Furthermore, African pastoralist systems are often more productive, in terms of protein and cash per hectare, than Australian, American and other African ranches in similar climatic conditions. They make a substantial contribution to their countries’ national economi es. In Kenya, for example, the turnover of the pastoralist sector is worth $800 million per year. In countries such as Burkina Faso, Eritrea and Ethiopia, hides from pastoralists’ herds make up over 10 per cent ofexport earnings. Despite this productivity, pastoralists still starve and their animals perish when drought hits. One reason is that only a trickle of the profits goes to the herders themselves; the lion’s share is pocketed by traders. This is partly because the herders only sell much of their stock during times of drought and famine, when they need the cash to buy food, and the terms of trade in this situation never work in their favour. Another reason is the lack of investment in herding areas. Funding bodies such as the World Bank and-USAID tried to address some of the problems in the 1960s, investing millions of dollars in commercial beef and dairy production. It didn’t work. Firstly, no one bothered to consult the pastoralists about what they wanted. Secondly, rearing livestock took precedence over human progress. The policies and strategies of international development agencies more or less mirrored the thinking of their colonial predecessors. They were based on two false assumptions: that pastoralism is primitive and inefficient, which led to numerous failed schemes aimed at converting herders to modern ranching models; and that Africa’s drylands can support commercial ranching. They cannot. Most of Africa’s herders live in areas with unpredictable weather systems that are totally unsuited to commercial ranching.What the pastoralists need is support for their traditional lifestyle. Over the past few years, funders and policy-makers have been starting to get the message. One example is intervention by governments to ensure that pastoralists get fair prices for their cattle when they sell them in times of drought, so that they can afford to buy fodder for their remaining livestock and cereals to keep themselves and their families alive (the problem in African famines is not so much a lack of food as a lack of money to buy it). Another example is a drought early-warning system run by the Kenyan government and the World Bank that has helped avert livestock deaths.This is all promising, but more needs to be done. Some African governments still favour forcing pastoralists to settle. They should heed the latest scientific research demonstrating the productivity of traditional cattle-herding. Ultimately, sustainable rural development in pastoralist areas will depend on increasing trade, so one thing going for them is the growing demand for livestock products: there will likely be an additional 2 billion consumers worldwide by 2020, the vast majority in developing countries. To ensure that pastoralistsbenefit, it will be crucial to give them a greater say in local policies. Other key tasks include giving a greater say to women, who play critical roles in livestock production. The rich world should pay proper attention to the plight of the pastoralists. Leaving them dependent on foreign food aid is unsustainable and will lead to more resentment, conflict, environmental degradation and malnutrition. It is in the rich world’s interests to help out.31. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the passage?(A) Forcing Africa’s nomadic herders to become ranchers will save them from drought.(B) The difference between pastoralist and agriculturalist is vital to the African people.(C) The rich world should give more support to the African people to overcome drought.(D) Environmental degradation should be the major concern in developing Africa’s pastoralism.32. The word “encapsulates” in the sentence “Their plight encapsulates Africa’s perennial problem with drought and famine.” (para. l) can be replaced by ________.(A) concludes.(B) involves.(C) represents.(D) aggravates.33. What is the author’s attitude toward African drought and traditional lifestyle of pastoralism?(A) Neutral and indifferent.(B) Sympathetic and understanding.(C) Critical and vehement.(D) Subjective and fatalistic.34. When the author writes “the policies and strategies of international development agencies more or less mirrored the thinking of their colonial predecessors.” (para.4), he implies all the following EXCEPT that the aid agencies did not __________.(A) have an objective view of the situation in Africa(B) understand the unpredictable weather systems there(C) feel themselves superior in decision making(D) care about the development of the local people35. The author’s main purpose in writing this a rticle is _________.(A) to evaluate the living conditions of Kenyan pastoralists(B) to give suggestions on the support of the traditional pastoralism in Africa(C) to illustrate the difference between commercial ranching and pastoralism(D) to criticize the colonial thinking of western aid agencies Passage 2Civil-Liberties advocates reeling from the recent revelations on surveillance had something else to worry about last week: the privacy of the billions of search queries made on sites like Google, AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft. As part of a long-running court case, the government has asked those companies to turn over information on its users’ search behavior. All but Google have handed over data, and now the Department of Justice (DOJ) has moved to compel the search giant to turn over the goods.What makes this case different is that the intended use of the information is not related to national security, but the government’s continuing attempt to police Internet pornography. In 1998, Congress passed the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), but courts have blocked its implementation due to First Amendment concerns. In its appeal, the DOJ wants to prove how easy it is to inadvertently stumble upon pore. In order to conduct a controlled experiment—to be performed by a UC Berkeley professor of statistics—the DOJ wants to use a large sample of actual search terms from the different search engines. It would then use those terms to do its own searches, employing the different kinds of filters each search engine offers, in an attempt to quantify how often “material that is harmful to minors” might appear. Google contends that since it is not a party to the case, the government has not right to demand its proprietary information to perform its test. “We intend to resist their motion vigorously,” said Google attorney Nicole Wong.DOJ spokesperson Charles Miller says that the government is requesting only the actual search terms, and not anything that would link the queries to those who made them. (The DOJ is also demanding a list of a million Web sites that Google indexes to determine the degree to which objectionable sites are searched.) Originally, the government asked for a treasure trove of all searches made in June and July 2005; the request has been scaled bac k to one week’s worth of search queries.One oddity about the DOJ’s strategy is that the experiment could conceivably sink its own case. If the built-in filters that each search engine provides are effective in blocking porn sites, the government will have wound up proving what the opposition has said all along—you don’t need to suppress speech to protect minors on the Net. “We think that our filtering technology does a good job protecting minors from inadvertently seeing adult content,” says Ramez Naam, group program manager of MSN Search.Though the government intends to use these data specifically for its COPA-related test, it’s possible that the information could lead to further investigations and, perhaps, subpoenas to find out who was doing the searchi ng. “What if certain search terms indicated that people were contemplating terrorist actions or other criminal activities?” Says the DOJ’s Miller, “I’m assuming that if something raised alarms, we would hand it over to the proper authorities.” Privacy advocates fear that if the government request is upheld, it will open the door to further government examination of search behavior. One solution would be for Google to stop storing the information, but the company hopes to eventually use the personal information of consenting customers to improve search performance. “Search is a window into people’s personalities,” says Kurt Opsahl, an Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney. “They should be able to take advantage of the Internet without worrying about Big Brother looking over their shoulders.”36. When the American government asked Google, AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft to turn over information on its users’ search behavior, the major intention is _________.(A) to protect national security(B) to help protect personal freedom(C) to monitor Internet pornography(D) to implement the Child Online Protection Act37. Google refused to turn over “its proprietary information”(para.2) required by DOJ as it believes that ________.(A) it is not involved in the court case(B) users’ privacy is most important(C) the government has violated the First Amendment(D) search terms is the company’s business secret38. The phrase “scaled back to” in the sentence “the request has been scaled back to one week’s worth of search queries” (para.3) can be replaced by _________.(A) maximized to(B) minimized to(C) returned to(D) reduced to39. In the sentence “One oddity about the DOJ’s strategy is that the experiment could conceivably sink its own case.”(para.4), the exp ression “sink its own case” most probably means that _________.(A) counterattack the opposition(B) lead to blocking of porn sites(C) provide evidence to disprove the case(D) give full ground to support the case40. When Kurt Opsahl says that “They should be able to take advantage of the Internet without worrying about Big Brother looking over their shoulders.” (para.5), the expression “Big Brother” is used to refer to _________.(A) a friend or relative showing much concern(B) a colleague who is much more experienced(C) a dominating and all-powerful ruling power(D) a benevolent and democratic organizationSection 2 Answering questions (20 points, 4 points for each) Directions: Read the following passages and then answer INCOMPLETE SENTENCES the questions following each passage.

Passage 3Millions of elderly Germans received a notice from the Health & Social Security Ministry earlier this month that struck a damaging blow to the welfare state. The statement informed them that their pensions were being cut. The reductions come as a stop-gap measure to control Germany’s ballooning pension crisis. Not surprisingly, it was an unwelcome change for senior citizens such as Sabine Wetzel, a 67-year-old retired bank teller, who was told her state pension would be cut by $12.30, or 1% to $1,156.20 a month. “It was a real shock,” she says. “My pension had always gone up in the past.”There’s more bad news on the way. On Mar. 11, Germany’s lower house of Parliament passed a bill gradually cutting state pensions -- which have been rising steadily since World War II -- from 53% of average wages now to 46% by 2020. And Germany is not alone. Governments across Western Europe are racing to curb pension benefits. In Italy, the government plans to raise the minimum retirement age from 57 to 60, while France will require that civil servants put in 40 years rather than 37.5 to qualify for a full pension. The reforms are coming despite tough opposition from unions, leftist politicians, and pensioners’ groups.The explanation is simple: Europeans are living longer and having fewer children. By 2030 there will only be two workers per pensioner, compared with four in 2000. With fewer young workers paying into the system, cuts are being made to cover a growing shortfall. The gap between money coming in and payments going out could top $10 billion this year in Germany alone. “In the future, a st ate pension alone will no longer be enough to maintain the living standards employees had before they retired,” says German Health & Social Security Minister Ulla Schmidt. Says Italian Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti: “The welfare state is producing too f ew cradles and too few graves.”Of course, those population trends have been forecast for years. Some countries, such as Britain and the Netherlands, have responded by making individuals and their employers assume more of theresponsibility for pensions. But many Continental governments dragged their feet. Now, the rapid runup in costs is finally forcing them to act. State-funded pension payments make up around 12% of gross domestic product in Germany and France and 15% in Italy——two percentage points more than 20 years ago. Pensions account for an average 21% of government spending across the European Union. The U.S. Social Security system, by contrast, consumes just 4.8% of GDP. The rising cost is having serious repercussions on key European nations’ commitments to fiscal restraint. “Governments have no choice but to make pension reform a priority,” says Antonio Cabral, deputy director of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Economic & Financial Affairs.Just as worrisome is the toll being exacted on the private sector. Corporate contributions to state pension systems -- which make up 19.5% of total gross pay in Germany -- add to Europe’s already bloated labor costs. That, in turn, blunts manufacturers’ competitiveness and keeps unemployment rates high. According to the Institute of German Economics in Cologne, benefit costs reached a record 41.7% of gross wages in Germany last year, compared with 37.4% a decade before. French cement manufacturer Lafarge says pension cost of $121 million contributed to a 9% fall in operating profits last year.To cope, Germany and most of its EU partners are using tax breaks to encourage employees to put money into private pensions schemes. But even if private pensions become more popular, European governments will have to increase minimum retirement ages and reduce public pensions. While today’s seniors complain about reduced benefits, the next generation of retirees may look back on their parents’ pension checks with envy.41. Paraphrase Italian Finance Mini ster Giulio Tremonti’s statement “The welfare state is producing too few cradles and too few graves.” (para.3)42. What is implied by the last sentence of the passage “While today’s seniors complain about reduced benefits, the next generation of retirees may look back on their parents’ pension checks with envy.”?Passage 4In the old days, it was all done with cakes. For Marcel Proust, it was a visit to Mother’s for tea and madeleines that provided the access to “the vast structure of recollection”that was to become his masterpiece on memory and nostalgia, “Remembrance of Past Things.”These days, it’s not necessary to evoke the past: you can’t move without tripping over it.In an age zooming forward technologically, why all the backward glances? The Oxford English Dictionary’s first definition of nostalgia reads: “acute longing for familiar surroundings; severe homesickness.”With the speed of computers doubling every 18 months, and the net doubling in size in about half that, no wonder we’re aching for familiar surroundings. Since the cornerstone of the Information Age is change, anything enduring becomes precious. “People are looking for something authentic,”says McLaren. Trouble is, nostalgia has succumbed to trends in marketing, demographics and technology. “Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be,”says Michael J. Wolf, senior partner at Booz-Allen & Hamilton in New York. “These are the new good old days.”Baby boomers form the core of the nostalgia market. The boomers, defined by American demographers as those born between 1946 and 1964, are living long and prosperous lives. In both Europe and America, they remain the Holy Grail for admen, and their past has become everyone’s present. In a study on “entertainment imprinting,”two American marketing professors, Robert Schindler and Morris Holbrook, asked people ranging in age from 16 to 86 which popular music from the past they liked best. People’s favorite songs, they found, tended to be those that were popular when they were about 24, with their affection for pop songs diminishing on either side of that age. Doubtless Microsoft knows about entertainment imprinting, or at least nostalgia. The company hawks its latest Explorer to the strains of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound,”just as it launched Windows 98 to the tune of “Start Me up”by the Rolling Stones. Boomers remember both tunes from their 20s.If boomers are one market that values memories, exiles are another. According to the International Organization of Migration, more than 150 million people live today in a country other than the one where they were born—double the number that did so in 1965.This mass movement has sources as dire as tyranny and as luxurious as the freedoms of an EU passport. But exiles and refugees share one thing: homes left behind. Type in “nostalgia”on the search engine Google, and one of the first sites that pop up is the nostalgia page of The Iranian, an online site for Iran’s exiles, most of whom fled after 1978’s Islamic revolution. Perhaps the savviest exploitation of nostalgia has been the secondhand-book site , which features stories of clients’rediscovering long-lost books on it. One John Mason Mings writes of the glories of finding a book with information on “Kickapoo Joy Juice,”ad dreaded medicine of his youth. A Pennsylvanian waxes over alibris’s recovery of his first-grade primer”Down cherry Street.”The Net doesn’t merely facilitate nostalgia—it promotes it. Web-based auction houses have helped jump-start markets for vintage items, form marbles to Apple Macintoshes.Cutting-edge technology, designed to be transient, has even bred its own instanostalgia. Last year a $666 Apple I went for $18,000 to a British collector at a San Francisco auction. “Historic! Microsoft Multiplan for Macintosh”crows one item on eBay’s vintage Apple section. Surf to The Net Nostalgia Quiz to puzzle over questions like “In the old days, Altavista used to have which one of these URLs?”Those who don’t remember their history are condemned to repeat it. Or so entertainment moguls hope, as they market ‘70s TV hits like “Charlie’s Angels” and “Scooby Doo,” out next year, to a generation that can’t remember them the first time round. If you’ve missed a Puff Daddy track or a “Sopranos”episode, panic not. The megahits of today are destined to be the golden oldies of 2020, says Christopher Nurko of the branding consultant FutureBrand. “I guarantee you, Madonna’s music will be used to sell everything,” he says. “God help me, I hope it’s not selling insurance.” It could be. When we traffic in the past, nothing’s sacred.43. Explain the beginning sentence “In the old days, it was all done with cakes.”44. What is the other big group besides baby boomers which values memories? What do these people share?。

You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through The Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institution, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.1) Almost all companies involved in new production and development must _____.A. rely on their own financial resourcesB. persuade the banks to provide long-term financeC. borrow large sums of money from friends and people we knowD. depend on the population as a whole for finance2) The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is _____.A. repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleB. raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC. exchanged for part ownership in The Stock ExchangeD. invested in different companies on The Stock ExchangeIV.
