The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to 51. The bank lost ＄20,000 on the 52 that it cannot get back because ,for one thing, this young speculator does not have the money and , for another, 53 under eighteen, he is not legally liable for his debts.

Because he is also under eighteen the bank shave骗取60 a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost jobs.

Passage 1

In a society where all aspects of our lives are dictated by scientific advances in technology, science is the essence of our existence.Without the vast advances made by chemists ,physicists, biologist , geologist, and other diligent scientists, our standards of living would decline, our flourishing.繁茂的, 繁荣的, 欣欣向荣的,wealthy nation might come to an economic depression, and our people would suffer from disease that could not be cured.

Vega’s results appear at the same time as the release of a national report on declining physical and mental health in childrin of immigrant families.A panel convened 召集, 集合by the national research council理事会and the institute学会of medicine,both in Washingto,D.C.,reviewed previous studies and concluded that assimilation into a U.S.lifestyle may undermine the overall全部的, 全面的health of immigrant children much more than being poor does.

In contrast,studies of nonimmigrant U.S. residents usually link poverty to poor physical and mental health.

“The material on immigrant health shocked me when we first reviewed it”,says panel member Arthus M.Kleinman,a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School in Boston. “Vega’s study is consistent with和…一致the panel’s conclusion that immigrants’ health deteriorate with assimilation to U.S. society, declining 使…下降toward general US. norms,” says Kleinman. Other studies have indicated that citizens of many countries ,including Mexico, are healthier overall than US citizen.

Vega’s team interviewed采访3012 adults of Mexican origin, ages 18-59 ,living in Fresno County,Calif. Of that number,1810 people identified themselves as immigrants. Interviews were in English or Spanish.Interviewers expressed an interesting in health issues only and tried to minimize any tendency of participants to lie---due to US residency concerns--- about having immigranted.

Nearly one-half of US-born Mexican-Americans had suffered from at least one of 12 psychiatric disorders at some time in their lives,compared with only one-quarter of immigrants. Common mental conditions in US-born individiuals included major depression成年抑郁症,phobias恐怖症and other anxiety disorders,and substance abuse and dependece.

Prevalence rates for mental disorders were lowest for those who had immigrated within the past 13 years.The high rates found among immigrants of 13 or more years still fell considerably below those for the native-born group.

Passage 4

Rain is not what it used to be. A new study reveals that much of the precipitation(雨、雪等的)降落; 降水[雨](量) in Europe contains such high levels of dissolved pesticides that it would be illegal to supply it as drinking water.

“Studies in Switzerland have found that rain is laced with混有toxic levels of atrazine除草剂, regularly exceeded in rain”,says Stephan Muller, a chemist at the Wwiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technlgy in Dubendorf.The chemicals appear to似乎have evaporated from fields and become part of the clouds.

Both the Europe Union and Switzerland have set a limit of 100 nanograms for any particular pesticide of driking warter. But ,especially in the first minutes of a heavy storm,rain can contain much more than that.

In a study to be published by Muller and his collegue Thomas Bucheli in Anslytical Chemistry this summer,one sample of rainwater contained almost 4000 nanograms per liter of 2,4- dinitrophinol, a widely used pesticide.Previously,the author had shown that in rain sample taken from 41 storms ,nine contained more than 100 nanograms of atrazine per liter,one of them around 900 nanograms.

In the latest study,the highest concentrations of pesticides turned up in the first rain after a ling dry spell,particalarly when local fields had recently been sprayed,Until now , scientist had assumed that the pesticides only infiltrated groundwater directly from fields.

Muller warns that the growing practice of using rainwater that falls onto roofs to recharge再装填underground water may be adding to be danger.This water often contains dissolved herbicide s that had been added to roofing materials, such as bitumen sheets,to prevent vegetation growing.He suggests that the first flush of rain should be diverted into sewers to minimize the pollution of drinking water,which is not usuaslly treated to remove these herbicides and pesticides.

76.According to the Swedish scientist ,the pestcides in rain ____

A.exceed those in crop sprays

B.can be traced back to crop sprays

C.are not as toxic as they used to be

77. Muller and Bucheli found that 2,4-dinitrophenol____

A.is widely used in agriculture

B.exceeded atrazine in the rain sample water

C.can be measured in the units of nanograms

D.was far in excess of limit in drinking water

78.Scientists used to hypothesize that ____

A.groundwater was sage for drinking water

B.herbicides and pesticides were harmless

C.pesticides containated groundwater of drinking water

D.rain would minimize the pollution of drinking water

79.Muller warns us not ____

A.not tap groundwarter for drinking water

B.to use such roofing materials as bitumen sheets

C.to let the first flush of rain recharge underground water

D.to divert the flush of rain into sewers without removing its herbicides and pesticides

80.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Drinking water

C.Agriculture and pesticides

D.Falling pesticides

Passage 5

Folk wisdom holds that the blind can hear better than people with sight.Scientists have a new reason to believe it.

Reasearch now indicates that blind and sighted people display the same skill at locating a sound’s origin when using both ears ,but some blind people can home in on sounds more accurately than their sighted counterparts when all have one ear blocked.Canadian scientists described the work in the Sept.17 NATUR.

Participants in the study were tested individually in a sound-insulated绝缘的; 隔热的room.They faced 16 small,concealed loudspeakers arrayed in a semicircle a few feet away.With a headrest keeping their head steady,the participants pointed to the perceived origins of the sounds.

The rearchers tested eight blind people,who had been completely sightless from birth of since a very early age.They also tested three nearly blind persons,who had some residual vision at the periphery外围of their gaze;seven sighted people wearing blindfolds;and 29 sighted people without blindfolds.All participants were tested beforehand to ensure that their hearing was normal. When restricted to one-ear,or monaural,listening,four of the eight blind people identified sound sources more accurately than did the sighted people,says study co-author合著者Michel Pare,a neuroscientist at the University of Montreal.The sighted people showed especially poor localization of sounds from the speakers on the side of the blocked ear.

In sighted people who can hear with both ears,“the brain learns to rely on binaural(stereo) cues.These data suggest that blind people haven’t learned that and Keep monaural cues as the dominant cues,”says Eric I.Knudsen,a neurobiologist at Stanford University School Medicine ,“I

find it surpring.”

D.when both were restricted to blindfolds

83.Knudsen explained the better hearing on the part of就…来说the blind in terms of ____

A.cognitive psychology

B.visual images

C.binaural cues

D.monaural cues

84.The Canadian scientists did their test to answer the question whether ____

A.the blind can hears as well as the sighted

B.the blind have hearing capabilities

C.blind people track sounds better

D.folk wisdom is educational

85.What Folk wisdom holds in the passage____

2003年博士英语考试作文参考答案

Health begins with breakfast

Most people ignore breakfast and skip it. In fact breakfast is of great importance to guarantee our heath and improve the efficiency of our work and study. So we should have it scientifically.

Breakfast for young children. Small children need adequate protein and calcium, so it is good for them to have measurable milk, egg, and bread for breakfast. They should avoid eating food that is high in sugar in case of decayed teeth and fatness.

Breakfast for teenagers. As adolescence is a vital period of growth, calcium, vitamin C and vitamin A are necessary for adolescents. Furthermore they should be provided with sufficient calories for their mental and physical activities
