Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emergedd communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learningas global languages of commerce anone of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, manysmall languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages,rather than yield to the homogenizing（同化的）forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient（有活力的）,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous（原生的，土著的）communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.A．an increasingly interconnected worldB．maintaining small numbers of speakersC．relatively isolated language communitiesD．following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _______.A．uncertain B．unrealistic C．foreseeable D．definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.A．small languages become acceptable in work placesB．homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC．global languages reach home and community settingsD．speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identityputer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in thatit_________.A．makes learning a global language unnecessaryB．facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC．raises public awareness of saving those languagesD．makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.A．remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB．exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC．quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD．a unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone，it seems，has a health problem。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schools in the family of vocational education “have that s tereotype, that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,” he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More educationis the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rigitfully so.But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all -and the subtle devaluing of anything less-misses an important point: That’s not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor’s degree opens more doors. But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.In other words, at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them. Koziatek’s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap.Koziatek’s school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation’s diversity of gifts.21. A broken bike chain is mentioned to show students’ lack of______.A. mechanical memorizationB. academic trainingC. practical abilityD. pioneering spirit22. There exists the prejudice that vocational education is for kids who______.A. are financially disadvantagedB. are not academically successfulC. have a stereotyped mindD. have no career motivation23. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that high school graduates______.A. are entitled to more “educational privilegesB. are reluctant to work in manufacturingC .used to have more job opportunitiesD. used to have big financial concerns24. The headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all_____.A. helps create a lot of middle-skill jobsB. may narrow the gap in working-class jobsC. is expected to yield a better-trained workforceD. indicates the overvaluing of higher education25. The author’s attitude toward Koziatek’s school can be described as_____.A. supportiveB. disappointedC. tolerantD. cautiousText2While fossil fuels- coal, oil, gas- still generate roughly 85 percent of the world's energy supply, it's clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar. The move to renewables is picking up momentum around the world: They now account for more than half of new power sources going on line.Some growth stems from a commitment by governments and farsighted Business to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the stories about the plummeting prices of renewables, especially wind and solar. The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years.In many parts of the world renewable energy is already a principal energy source. In Scotland, forexample, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes. While the rest of the world takes the lead, notably China and Europe, the United States is also seeing a remarkable shift. In March, for the first time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US ,reported the US Energy Information Administration.President Trump has underlined fossil fuels - especially coal - as the path to economic growth. In a recent speech in Iowa, he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source, But that message did not play well with many in Iowa, where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the state's electricity generation - and where tech giants like Microsoft are being attracted by the availability of clean energy to power their data centers.The question “what happens when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn'tshine?" has provide d a quick put-down for skeptics. But a boost in the storage-capacity of batteries is making their ability to keep power flowing around the clock more likely.The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers, who are placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles. Although electric cars are still a rarity on roads now, this massive investment could change the picture rapidly in coming years.While there's a long way to go, the trend lines for renewables are spiking. The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up perhaps: just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change. What Washington does-or doesn't do- to promote alternative energy may mean less and less a time of a global shift in thought.26. The word "plummeting"(Line 3, is closest in meaning to ______A. stabilizingB. changingC. fallingD. rising27. According to Paragraph 3, the use of renewable energy in America ______A. is progressing notablyB. is as extensive as in EuropeC. faces many challengesD. has proved to be impractical28. It can be learned that in Iowa,______.A. wind is a widely used energy sourceB. wind energy has replaced fossil fuelsC. tech giants are investing in clean energyD. there is a shortage of clean energy supply29. Which of the following is true about clean energy according to Paragraphs 5&6?A. Its application has boosted battery storage.B. It is commonly used in car manufacturing.C. Its continuous supply is becoming a reality.D. Its sustainable exploitation will remain difficult.30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that renewable energy _____.A. will bring the US closer to other countriesB. will accelerate global environmental changeC. is not really encouraged by the US governmentD. is not competitive enough with regard to its costText 3The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing —Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $, but two years agoFacebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its user s’ friendships and social lives.Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what.Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them —and Facebook and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies.The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants.

２０１９清华北大ＥＭＢＡ联合考试真题一、商务英语阅读（阅读下面的短文，对 10 个题目进行判断，每道题正确答案只有一个。
每小题 2.5 分，共 25 分）Text 1When Thomas Keller, one of America’s foremost chefs, announced that on Sept. 1 he would abolish the practice of tipping（付小费）at Per-Se., his luxury restaurant in New York City, and replace it with European-style service charge, I knew three groups would be opposed: customers, servers andrestaurant owners. These three groups are all committed to tipping——as they quickly made clear on Web sites. To oppose tipping, it seems to be anticapitalist, and maybe even a little French.But Mr. Keller is right to move away from tipping—and it’s worth exploring why just about everyoneelse in the restaurant world is wrong to stick with the practice. Customers believe in tipping because they think it makes economic sense. “Waiters know that theywon’t get paid if they don’t do a good job” is how most advocates of the system would put it. To be sure, this is a tempting, apparently rational statement about economic theory, but it appears to have little applicability to the real world of restaurants.Michael Lynn, an associate professor of consumer behavior and marketing at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, has conducted dozens of students of tipping and has concluded that consumers’ assessments of the quality of service correlate weakly to the amount they tip.Rather, customers are likely to tip more in response to servers touching them lightly and leaning forward next to the table to make conversation than to how often their water glass is refilled——in other words, customers tip more when they like the server, not when the service is good. Mr. Lynn’s studies also indicate that male customers increase their tips for female servers while female customers increase their tips for male servers.What’s more, consumers seem to forget that the tip increases as the bill increases. Thus, the tipping system is an open invitation to what restaurant professionals call“upwelling”: every bottle ofimported water, every espresso and every cocktail is extra money in the server’s pocket. Aggressiveupwelling for tips is often rewarded while low-key quality service often goes unrecognized.In addition, the practice of tip pooling, which is the norm in fine-dining restaurants and is becoming more in every kind of restaurant above the level of a greasy spoon, has ruined whatever effect voting with your tip might have had on an individual waiter . In an unreasonable outcome, you are punishing the good waiters in the restaurant by not tipping the bad one. Indeed, there appear to be little connection between tipping and good service .1. It may be inferred that a European-style service___.A. is tipping-freeB. charges little tipC. is the author’s initiativeD. is offered at Per-Se2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the author.A. Tipping is a common practice in the restaurant worldB. Waiters don’t care about tippingC. Customers generally believe in tipping.D. Tipping has little connection with the quality of service3. According to Michael Lynn’s studies, waiters will likely get more tips if they______.A. have performed good serviceB. frequently refill customers’ water glassC. win customers’ favorD. serve customers of the same sex4. We may infer from the context that “upwelling” (Line 2, Para 6) probably meansA. selling something upB. selling something fancyC. selling something unnecessaryD. selling something more expensive5.This passage is mainly about __________.A. reasons to abolish the practice of tippingB. economic sense of tippingC. consumers’ attitudes towards tippingD. tipping for good serviceText 2It is well known that when an individual joins a group he tends to accept the group’s standards of behavior and thinking. Many illustrations could be given of this from everyday life, but what is of particular interest to psychologists is the extent to which people’s judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure. Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses. It would be a mistake to think that only particular changeable people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type. Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used.In a typical experiment, this is what may happen. The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual perception. The victims are not, therefore, aware of the real purpose of the experiment. Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are collaborating with the experimenter. The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line. They are then asked to look at a second card. This has three lines on it. One is obviously longer than the line on the first card, one is shorter and one the same length. They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card. The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines. When his turn comes he is faced with the unanimous opinion of the rest of the group—all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct. What will he do?According to Asch, more than half of the victims chosen will change their opinion. What is equally surprising is that when interviewed about their answers, most explained that they know the group choice was incorrect but that they yield to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion, or because they were afraid of being different.1. The psychologists are particularly interested in_______.A. the changes in the attitudes of the peopleB. the degree of changes of people’s opinionsC. the result of the experimentD. the difference in people’s characters2. People who are usually chosen to take part in the experiments are_______.A. stubborn and independentB. knowledgeableC. ignorant and docileD. capable of reasoning3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The experimenter and all the members of the group except the victim know the purpose of the experiment.B. All of them know the purpose of the experiment.C. Only the experimenter knows the purpose of the experiment.D. Only the victim knows the purpose of the experiment.4. More than half of the victims changed their opinion because_______.A. someone in the group changed their opinionB. they thought their eyes must be deceivedC. they thought the group choice was correctD. they had been told about the answer5. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to_______.A. illustrate the influence of the group’s pressure on individual’s behaviorB. invite more volunteers to join in Asch’s experimentC. tell the audience how to perform psychological experimentD. encourage people to act against the group’s opinion二、逻辑数学推理（一）逻辑推理（每题只有一个正确选择，本大题共5 小题，每小题 4 分，共20 分）1. 去年某旅游胜地游客人数与前年游客人数相比，减少约一半。
浙大EMBA考试试题
第一部分英语（20分）PartⅠReading Comprehension (10 points)Directions:In this part of the test ,there are two short passages. Read each passage carefully,and then answer the queations tnat follow.Choose the best answer from A,B,C and D,andmark the corresponding letter with a circle.Passage 1On an exciting summer day in mid-july in the middle of Sabago Lake,my father helped me reel my very first catch .At first,everything was quiet around us.There were no human voices,cars,or planes to break the silence of the still pond.It was a perfect day for fishing.The sky was a brighter blue than usual,and puffs of white clouds raced overhead,we sat hushed,afraid to talk ,thinking that the fish would hear us and would stay away.As we sat there,my father ,holding his pole in one hand,passed me some lunch.I put down my brown chipped rod to take a sandwich wrapped in tin foil from him.The foil reflected the bright sunlight onto the water.With my mouth filled,with peanut butter,I whined,“When do you think the fish will bite? We’ve been in this boat forever.”It was terrible hot, for the sun hung directly over us and the mosquitoes had told me hours ago that they favored my blood the best. Buzz. Smack! Another body dropped to the bottom of the boat. “These things are eating me alive,”I complained to my father.Suddenly my line tightened and my sinker moved.“Dad,it moved;what do I do now?”My father,now as excited as I was,crawled over to my side of the boat.Everything rocked.Little circles with white bubbles formed on the water.Dad took the rod from my hand,grasping it firmly like a champion fisherman,pulled and reeled the line in. “First you pull a little to let it know who’s boss,”he explained excitedly.“Then you bring it in gradually.”In complete control of the pole he alternately reeled and jerked the line.Finally, a six-inch silvery blue perch sailed through the dangling on my line.The fish landed on the seat of the boat,flapping wildly and gasping for air.I picked the perch up,looked into its gasping mouth,and then plopped the struggling body into a pail of water.The fish regained consciousness and swam around unharmed for the moment.I think it knew that it would be part of our dinner that night.1.In the first sentence,“an exciting summer day”means D .A.it was a holidayB.it was a fishing dayC.it was a hot dayD.it was a happy day2.They sat hushed,afraid to talk,because A .A.Their talking would drive fish awayB.Fish couldn’t understand themC.They had to concentrate on fishingD.Fish hated human voices3.The foil refection of sunlight is B .A.BlueB.SilveryC.PinkD.White4.Father was as excited as the son,because A .A.They needed the fish for part of their dinner that nightB.They were catching a fish after waiting longC.They were eaten alive by the mosquitoesD.They could not go back with hands empty5.With the help of his father,he A .A.Succeeded in his first catchingB.Let go the first fishC.Found a boss for the first fishD.Killed the first fish as soon as he got itPassage 2The U.S. Department of Labor statistics indicate that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing.Already there is an overabundance of teachers,engineers,physicists and other specialists.Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there.The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.These “temporary”jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.On the other hand,there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters,electricians,mechanics,and TV repairmen.These people have more work than they can handle and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates.The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passport to a prosperous future.Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of grade school.Under this pressure the kids fall in line.Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter.Everybody should go to college.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there,Of the sixty per cent of high school graduates who enter college,half of them do not graduate with their class.Many of them drop out within the first year.Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.6.What do the U.S. Department of labor statistics show? AA.Many college graduates find it increasingly hard to get jobs for which they were trained.B.There is an oversupply of workers and this oversupply is increasingC.Teachers,engineers,physicists,aerospace experts and other specialist are extremely neededD.College and graduate schools compete to turn out trained people7.By saying “These ‘temporary’jobs have a habit of becoming permanent”the author means thatC .A.Once college graduates take a temporary job,they soon become used to itB.College graduates have the habit of taking temporary jobsC.Many college graduates might never find jobs for which they were trainedD.College graduates have the habit of taking permanent jobs8.What is implied but not stated in the passage is that in the past A .A.Blue-collar workers made a better living than white-collar workersB.There were more white-coller workers than blue-collar workersC.White-collar workers were looked up toD.Colleges and graduate schools trained more skilled workers9.By saying that “many people go to college who do not belong there”,the author means thatA .A.Many people who are not fit for college education go to collegeB.Many people who do not have adequate financial support go to collegeC.Many people who go to college drop out within the first yearD.Many people who go to college soon become bored10.We can infer from the passage that the author believes that D .A.Every young man and woman should go to collegeB.College education has become worse and worseC.People with a college education should receive higher payD.Fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobsPart II E-to-C Translation (4 points)Direction: translate the following paragraph into ChineseInternational banking has become an intensely competitive business in which success depends on the bank’s ability to meet complex financial needs of international customers.In fact international banking is probably one of the world’s most competitive industries.Few of us would switch stores over a tiny percent difference in the price of, for example,toothpaste.However such a switch would be expected in the international banking market.International customers want fanancing to be available in many currencies,in large amounts,and on short notice.国际银行业务已成为一个竞争激烈的商业中,成功取决于银行是否能满足有复杂的金融需求的国际客户。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices~ marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Many people believe the glare (耀眼的强光) from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, dark glasses or not they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of "snow light"The United States Army has now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of asnow-covered area. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscle aches. Nature balances this annoyance by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The liquid covers the eyeballs in increasing quantity until vision blurs (模糊). And the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察兵) ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completelysnow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they too ean focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested, Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching through the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the man can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost: In this way the problem of crossing a solid white area is overcome.21. The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache becauseA. tears cover the eyeballsB. the eyes are annoyed by blinding sunlightC. the eyes are annoyed by blinding snowD. there is nothing to focus on22. When the eyes are sore, tears are produced toA. clear the visionB. remedy snowblindnessC. ease the annoyanceD. loosen the muscles23. Snow-blindness may be avoided byA. concentration on the solid white areaB. providing the eyes with something to focus onC. searching for something to look at in snow-covered areasD. covering the eyeballs with liquid24. The first paragraph is mainly concerned withA. snow glare and snowblindnessB. the whiteness from snowC. headaches, watering eyes and snowblindnessD. the need for dark glasses25. A suitable title for this passage would beA. Snowblindness and How to Overcome ItB. Nature' s Cure for SnowblindnessC. Soldiers in the SnowD. Snow VisionQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:There are great careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But lthere is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capa-ble of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. And these "generalists" are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people's work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a "trained" man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist and especially the administrator- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an "educated" man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation.Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you - but this is a pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand forA. all-round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people's workC. generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist isA. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC. a man who can see the forest rather that the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator isA. a "trained" man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the tress as well as the forestC. a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD. a man who is an "educated" specialist29. During your training period it is importantt. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30. A man's first jobA. is never the right job for himB. should not be regarded as his final jobC. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any jobD. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The world's population continues to grow. There now are about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in another 75 years. Experts long have been concerned about such growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses,schools and health care for all these people?A major new study shows rthat the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world's birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations.Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away form their homes instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth.China is one of the nations that has made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about one half since 1970. China now urges each family to have,no more than one child. And it hopes to reach zero population growth, the number of births equaling the number of deaths, by the year 2000.Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people.31. In Paragraph One, the sentence "Experts long have been concerned about such growth", the phrase "concerned about" is similar in meaning toA. worried aboutB. related toC. engaged inD. made a study of32. "Family planning programs" meansA. birth control policy in a countryB. economic policy in a familyC. TV programs designed for a familyD. economic policy in a country33. The world's birth rate has dropped bemuseA. people marry at a much later timeB. more birth control devices and methods have been usedC. women would rather go to study or work than have childrenD. all the above reasons are true34. By the year 2000, the number of births and the number of deaths in China willA. be greatly differentB. be equal to each otherC. drop a great dealD. become much larger35. Some time in the future, the people who are working in Europe would have to pay much higher taxes becauseA. more and more children will be bornB. fewer and fewer children will be bornC. they will be making a lot of moneyD. the number of retired people will become ever largerQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:When I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to notice a small brown leather wallet lying on the sidewalk. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner's name. There was nothing inside it except some change and an old photograph - a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the woman's daughter. Iput the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station, where I handed it to the desk sergeant (警官). Before I left, the sergeant took down my name and address in case the owner might want to write and thank me.That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar: I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldn' t remember where I had seen her. In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was amazing that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost it.36. The wallet which the writer foundA. was emptyB. had some money in itC. had a few coins and a photograph in itD. had an old photograph in it37. The Writer opened the wallet because he wanted to _____ in it.A. find some moneyB. find some goldC. find the owner's nameD. find the owner's photograph38. The writer recognized the young woman because _____A. he had met her somewhere beforeB. she was the old woman in the photographC. she often had dinner with his aunt and uncleD. she looked like the young girt in the photograph39. The young woman told of her loss of the wallet _____A. at the beginning of the dinnerB. during the conversationC. as soon as she saw the writerD. after the dinner40. The story was amazing because _____A. the writer found both the wallet and its ownerB. the finder and the loser of the wallet were old friendsC. the finder and the loser of the wallet met at the police stationD. the woman knew the writer and his uncleSections BDirections: Read the following passage and then give short answers to the five questions Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.The air is polluted. The earth is poisoned. Water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civilization thatproduced it.,Our environment is being contaminated faster than nature and man's present efforts can pre vent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry. More people and more industry will bring us more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. This is happening not only in advanced societies but among the developing nations as they become industrialized. Pollution is, in a sense, exported.Now many scientists are expressing fears about the possibility of world pollution. Some experts declare that the balance of nature is being so upset that the very survival of humanity is in danger.What can explain and solve this growing problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man by his greed and his modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim.For its sake we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so in that time has pollution become a serious problem. The connection is clear.Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going- and why? It reminds one of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker: "I' ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we're making rapid progress at 530 miles perhour. The bad news is that we' re lost and don' t know where we' re going." The sad fact is thatthis becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.41. The word "poison" has the same meaning as "pollute". Can you find another word in this passage which also has the same meaning?42. Can we stop this trend by our own efforts?43. Who caused this problem?44. Why do people constantly move from the countryside into the cities?45. The author concludes his article with a story. In what sense do you think we are similar to the story?PART Il[ English-Chinese Translation ( 15 % )Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Then translate it into Chinese. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet.The world history of science has demonstrated that no scientific hypothesis (假设) is permanently correct. A scientific hypothesis can never be absolutely confirmed. It can only be partly confirmed. This is because we cannever be absolutely certain that somewhere, someday, fresh evidence will not appear which will disprove the hypothesis. So the very general statements made by scientists are, strictly speaking, all hypothetical However, when a hypothesis has been in existence for a long period, and when a great deal of evidence of different kinds has been collected in its favor, scientists accept it as part of established scientific theory. Theory and fact depend on and mutually support each other.PART lV Writing (15 % )Directions: For this part, you are asked to write a composition about THE BEST PREPARATION FOR LIFE in three paragraphs.

What will happen at Grand Horizon Restaurant?I.People will have a full Irish breakfast.J.Dr. Richard Genera will make an opening address.K.Attendants will have lunch.L.Participants will register for the meeting.Keys: 3-5 BACQuestions 6-10 refer to the following article.Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. it may be a game of some kind football, hockey（曲棍球）, golf, of tennis, it may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is no unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.6. Mountaineering is a sport which involves _________________________.A）hardshipB）physical riskC）coldD）all of the above7. The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ____________________.A）uniformB）activityC）rulesD）skills8. Mountaineering is also a team sport because ___________________.A）it involves rulesB）it involves matches between teamsC）it requires mental and physical qualitiesD）mountaineers depend on each other while climbing9. Which of the following is NOT true?A）Mountaineers compete against each other.B）Mountaineers compete against other teams.C）Mountaineers compete against nature.D）Mountaineers compete against international standard.10. What is the best title for the passage?A）MountaineeringB）Mountain ClimbersC）Mountaineering is Different from Golf and FootballD）Mountaineering Is More Dangerous Than Other Sports Key: 6-10 DCDCA。

habits and skills are to be 22in our past experiences,which are broughtsintosthe present23 memory...joxue.JoxueMemory can be defined as the capacity to keep 24 available for later use.It includes not only"remembering"thing like arithmetic or historicalfacts,but also any change in the way an animal typically behaves.Memory is25when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory is also involved when a six year old child learns to swing a baseball bat...joxue.JoxueMemory26not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and puters,for example,contain devices for storing data for later use.It is interesting to pare the memory storage capacity of a puter27that of a human being.The instant aess memory of a large puter may

B a stability period..joxue.JoxueC a run. D an oil price decrease...joxue.Joxue32.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was------...joxue.JoxueA destroyed. B absurd..joxue.JoxueC desperate.

strategy..joxue.JoxueC long term borrowing.D warning memo...joxue.JoxueQuestions 35 to 38 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueIf sustainable petitive advantage depends on workforce skills,American firms have a problem.Human resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the petitive survival of the firm in the United States.Skill acquisition is considered as an individualbor is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment...joxue.JoxueThe lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy.In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in mand.The post of head of human resource managements is usually a specialized job,off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy.The executive who holds it is neverconsulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO).By way of contrast,in Japan the head of human resource managementis central-usually the second most importantexecutive,after the CEO,in the firm s hierarchy...joxue.JoxueWhile American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces,in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms.The money they do invest is also morehighly concentrated on professional and managerial employees.And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies...joxue.JoxueAs a result,problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive.If American workers,for example,take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as theydo),the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United Stated.More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity,and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.The result is a slower pace of technological change.And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half.If the bottom half can t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated,the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear...joxue.Joxue35.Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American panies?..joxue.JoxueA.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills...joxue.JoxueB.They see the gaining of skills as their employees own business...joxue.JoxueC.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment....joxue.JoxueD.They only hire skilled workers because of keen petition...joxue.Joxue36.What is the position of the head of human resource management in an American firm?..joxue.JoxueA.He is one of the most important executives in the firm....joxue.JoxueB.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced...joxue.JoxueC.He is directly under the chief financial executive...joxue.JoxueD.He has no authority in making important decisions in the firm....joxue.Joxue37.The money most American firms spend in training mainly goes to----...joxue.JoxueA workers who can operate new equipment..joxue.JoxueB technological and managerial staff..joxue.JoxueC workers who lack basic background skills..joxue.JoxueD top executives...joxue.Joxue38.What is the main idea of the passage?..joxue.JoxueA.American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human resource management...joxue.JoxueB.Extensive retraining is indispensable toeffective human resource man agement...joxue.JoxueC.The head of human resource management must bein the central position in a firm s hierarchy....joxue.JoxueD.The human resource management strategies of American firms affect their petitive capacity.....joxue.JoxueQuestions 39 to 42 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueInter is a vast work of puters that connects many of the world s businesses,institutions,and individuals.The inter,which means interconnected work of works,links tens of thousands of smaller puter works.These works transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words,images,and sounds. ..joxue.JoxueThe Inter was information on virtually everywork users can search through sources ranging from vast databases to small electronic"bulletin boards ,"where users form discussion groups around mon interests.Much of the Inter s traffic consists of messages sent from one puter user to another.These messages are called electronic mail or e mail.Inter users have electronic addresses that allow them to send and receive e mail.Other uses of thework include obtaining news,joining electronic debates,and playing electronic games.One feature of the Inter,known as the World Wide Web,provides graphics,audio,and video to enhance the information in its documents.These documents cover a vast number of topics...joxue.JoxuePeople usually aess the Inter with a device called a modem.Modems connect puters to the work through telephone lines.Much of the Inter operates through worldwide telephone works of fiber optic cables.These cables contain hair thin strands of glass that carry data as pulses of light.They can transmit thousands of times more data than local phone lines,most of which consist of copper wires...joxue.JoxueThe history of the Inter began in the 1960s.At that time,the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)of the United States Department of Defense developed a work of puters called ARPA.Originally,ARPA connected only military a nd government puter systems.Its purpose was to make these systems secure in the event of a disaster or was.Soon after the creation of ARPA,universities and other institutionsdeveloped their own puter works.These works eventually were merged with ARPA to form the Inter.By the 1990s,anyone with a puter,modem,and Inter software could link up to the Inter...joxue.JoxueIn the future,the Inter will probably grow more sophisticated as puter technology bees more powerful.Many experts believe the Inter may bee part of a larger work called the information superhighway.This work,still under development,would link puters with telephone panies,cable television stations,and other munication systems.People could bank,shop,watch TV,and perform many other activities through the work...joxue.Joxue39.This passage is about the------of the Inter...joxue.JoxueA future.B general introduction..joxue.JoxueC use.D

Inter can be traced back to fifty years ago...joxue.JoxueC.The purpose of the Inter is to protect the world in the event of war...joxue.JoxueD.ARPA formed the foundation of the Inter nowadays... ..joxue.Joxue41.The Inter enables people to do all the following things EXCEPT----...joxue.JoxueA sending e mail.B obtaining news..joxue.JoxueC exchanging modem.D inter relatedchat(IRC)...joxue.Joxue42.Aording to the last paragraph,in the future------...joxue.JoxueA.in may be hard to predict the development of the Inter...joxue.JoxueB.the Inter will bee an indispensable superhighway...joxue.JoxueC.the Inter will be applied more...joxue.JoxueD.the Inter will bine cable stations...joxue.JoxueQuestions 43 to 46 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueSex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny.Aording to thisideology,basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes.These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life.Women are the weakersexboth physically and emotionally.Thus,they are naturally suited,much more so than men,to the performance of domestic duties .A woman s place,under normal circumstances,is within the protective environment of the home.Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles,such as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand,men are best suited to go outsintosthe petitive world of work andpolitics,where serious responsibilities must be takenon.Men are to be the providers;women and children are"dependents."..joxue.JoxueThe ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is thus appropriate for women,not men,to be employed as nurses,social workers,elementary school teachers,household helpers,and clerks and secretaries. ..joxue.JoxueThese positions are simply an extension of women s domestic rmal distinctions between"women s work"and"men s work"in the labor force,aording to theideology,are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes...joxue.JoxueFinally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way.For the human speciesto survive over time,its members must regularlyreproduce.Thus,women must,whether at home or in the labor force,make the most of their physical appearance...joxue.JoxueSo goes the ideology.It is,of course,not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex defined roles in social life.There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society,and those role differences that to exist are largely learned...joxue.JoxueBut to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society,sex defined roles will be seen as totally aeptable...joxue.Joxue43.Women s place,some people think,is within the protective environment of the home because------...joxue.JoxueA.women can provide better care for the children...joxue.JoxueB.women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all...joxue.JoxueC.women are biologically suited to domestic jobs...joxue.JoxueD.women can not pete with men in any field...joxue.Joxue44.Aording to the author,sex roles------...joxue.JoxueA are socially determined..joxue.JoxueB.are emotionally and physicallydetermined...joxue.JoxueC.can only be determined by what education people take...joxue.JoxueD.are biologically and psychologically determined...joxue.Joxue45.The author points out that the assignments of women s roles in work------...joxue.JoxueA.are determined by what they are better suited to. ..joxue.JoxueB.grow out of their position inside the home...joxue.JoxueC.reflect a basic difference between men and women...joxue.JoxueD.are suitable to them,but not to men...joxue.Joxue46.Which of the following is NOT true aording to the passage?..joxue.JoxueA.The division of sex defined roles is pletely unaeptable....joxue.JoxueB.Women s roles in work are too limited at present....joxue.JoxueC.In one society,men might perform what is considered women s duties by another...joxue.JoxueD.Some of the women s roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men...joxue.JoxueQuestions 47 to 50 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueIn a sense,the new protectionism is not protectionism at all,at least not in the traditional sense of theterm.The old protectionism referred only to traderestricting and trade expanding devices,such as thetariff or export subsidy.The new protectionism is much broader than this;it includes interventionssintosforeigntrade but is not limited to them.The new protectionism,in fact,refers to how the whole of government interventionsintosthe private economy affects international trade.The emphasis on trade is still there,thus came the term"protection."But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affectinternational economic relations...joxue.JoxueThe emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist,or welfare economy over the market economy.Jab Tumiler writes,"The old protectionism…coexisted,without any apparent in ___ectual difficulty with the aeptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanism-indeed,protectionists as well as (if not more than)free traders stood for laissez faire(放任政策).Now,as in the 1930s,protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to distribute resources and ines to societies satisfaction." ..joxue.JoxueIt is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism.In a market economy,economic change of various colors implies redistribution of resources and ines.The same opinion in many munities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper.There fore,the government intervenes(干涉；干预)to bring about a more desired result...joxue.JoxueThe victory of the welfare state is almost plete in northern Europe.In Sweden ,Norway,Finland,Denmark,and the Netherlands,government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal.In Great Britain this is only somewhat less true. ___ traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so.Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe.It also happens to be the most suessful Western European economy...joxue.JoxueThe welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe.Socialsecurity,unemployment insurance,minimum wage laws,andrent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene. ..joxue.Joxue47.This passage is primarily concerned with discussing------...joxue.JoxueA.the definition of the new protectionism...joxue.JoxueB.the difference between new and old protectionism. ..joxue.JoxueC.the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world...joxue.JoxueD.the significance of the welfare state...joxue.Joxue48.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare state mentioned in this passage?..joxue.JoxueA Free education is available to a child...joxue.JoxueB Laws are made to fix the minimum wage...joxue.JoxueC A jobless person can be insured...joxue.JoxueD There are regulations for rent...joxue.Joxue49.Which of the following inferences istrue,aording to this passage?..joxue.JoxueA.The economy developed faster in welfare states than in non welfare states...joxue.JoxueB.In the 1930s,protectionism began torise...joxue.JoxueC.The new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest...joxue.JoxueD. ___ plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe than in Great Britain.....joxue.Joxue50.The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions?..joxue.JoxueA When did the new protectionism arise?..joxue.JoxueB.Why is the new protectionism so popular in northern European countries?...joxue.JoxueC.Does the American government play a more active role in economic life than the British government?...joxue.JoxueD.Why does the government intervene in economic life?...joxue.JoxueSection B..joxue.JoxueDirections:.Read the following passage carefully and then give short answers to the five questions.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet....joxue.JoxueIn a television interview,Mr.Daniel Brummage,President of the International Olympics Committee,is defending his Committee s decision to hold the Games again in four years time...joxue.JoxueEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896,they ve had their critics.Every form of petitive activity attracts trouble.But part of the aim of the Games ,when they were first held in ancient Greece,was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of bat.My Committee and I intend to see that they go on doing this...joxue.JoxueThe spirit of petition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could be more harmfully employed.In my opinion,it does a lot of good,getting people to forgettheir differences in a munal activity.Any petitor or spectator at the Games or in the Olympic Village will ___ you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable:as if the world were one big family.And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate,onlyexist in a few quarters.What we suffer from is bad publicity,not had sportsmanship...joxue.JoxueThese Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world.Not only do they bring sportsmen together,but they unite a world public.Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing then?Of course,a few people are going to use them as an oasion for propaganda(宣传)，but this is no reason why the Games should be canceled.Why should every harmless activity be spoiled for the majority by the minority?..joxue.JoxueNo!As long as the majority wants it,these Games will continue.This is sport,sir,not politics,and I intend that it should remain so...joxue.Joxue51.Is that right that all the people in the world agree to hold the Olympic Games?...joxue.Joxue52When did the modern Olympic Games begin?..joxue.。

The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held--- the host country---marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsman march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display?The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sorts in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport-riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics, Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a-dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.1.
