Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D]. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Ant hony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic. One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointmentin the Times, calls him “a n unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s live performances; moreover, they can be “consumed” at a time and place of the listener’s choosing. The wi despread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert’s own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that diffe rence? Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America’s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.21. We learn from Par a.1 that Gilbert’s appointment has[A]incurred criticism.[B]raised suspicion.[C]received acclaim.[D]aroused curiosity.22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is[A]influential.[B]modest.[C]respectable.[D]talented.23. The author believes that the devoted concertgoers[A]ignore the expenses of live performances.[B]reject most kinds of recorded performances.[C]exaggerate the variety of live performances.[D]overestimate the value of live performances.24. According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?[A]They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.[B]They are easily accessible to the general public.[C]They help improve the quality of music.[D]They have only covered masterpieces.25. Regarding Gilbert’s role in r evitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels[A]doubtful.[B]enthusiastic.[C]confident.[D]puzzled.Text 2When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspira tions. And McGee isn’t alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nodalso may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey:”I can’t think of a single search I’ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are, but that’s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people who’ve been hurt the worst are those who’ve stayed too long.”26.When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being[A]arrogant.[B]frank.[C]self-centered.[D]impulsive.27. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives’ quitting may be spurred by[A]their expectation of better financial status.[B]their need to reflect on their private life.[C]their strained relations with the boards.[D]their pursuit of new career goals.28.The word “poached” (Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably means[A]approved of.[B]attended to.[C]hunted for.[D]guarded against.29.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that[A]top performers used to cling to their posts.[B]loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated.[C]top performers care more about reputations.[D]it’s safer to stick to the traditional rules.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?[A]CEOs: Where to Go?[B]CEOs: All the Way Up?[C]Top Managers Jump without a Net[D]The Only Way Out for Top PerformersText 3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media –such as television commercials and print advertisements – still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media , such marketers act as the initiator for users’ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media – for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend ,which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besidesgenerating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them.If that happens, passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products, putting the reputation of the target company at risk. In such a case, the company’s response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful, and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg.31.Consumers may create “earned” media when they are[A] obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sites.[B] inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them.[C] eager to help their friends promote quality products.[D] enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products.32. According to Paragraph 2,sold media feature[A] a safe business environment.[B] random competition.[C] strong user traffic.[D] flexibility in organization.33. The author indicates in Paragraph 3 that earned media[A] invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers.[B] can be used to produce negative effects in marketing.[C] may be responsible for fiercer competition.[D] deserve all the negative comments about them.34. Toyota Motor’s experience is cited as an example of[A] responding effectively to hijacked media.[B] persuading customers into boycotting products.[C] cooperating with supportive consumers.[D] taking advantage of hijacked media.35. Which of the following is the text mainly about ?[A] Alternatives to conventional paid media.[B] Conflict between hijacked and earned media.[C] Dominance of hijacked media.[D] Popularity of owned media.Text 4It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter – nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampe n our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single –mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing ? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wond er if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single mostimportant thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it, raising a kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake. It’s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every wee k of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “ the Rachel” might make us look just a littl e bit like Jennifer Aniston.36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring[A]temporary delight[B]enjoyment in progress[C]happiness in retrospect[D]lasting reward37.We learn from Paragraph 2 that[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.[D]having children is highly valued by the public.38.It is suggested in Paragraph 3 that childless folks[A]are constantly exposed to criticism.[B]are largely ignored by the media.[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their life.39.According to Paragraph 4, the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is[A]soothing.[B]ambiguous.[C]compensatory.[D]misleading.40.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.[B]Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing.Part BDirections:The following paragraph are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent text by choosing from the list A-G to filling them into the numbered boxes. Paragraphs E and G have been correctly placed. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)[A] No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm as the humanities. You can, Mr Menand points out, became a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four. But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years. Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their degrees.[B] His concern is mainly with the humanities: Literature, languages, philosophy and so on. These are disciplines that are going out of style: 22% of American college graduates now major in business compared with only 2% in history and 4% in English. However, many leading American universities want their undergraduates to have a grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses. But most find it difficult to agree on what a “general education” should look like. At Harvard, Mr Menand notes, “the great books are read because they have been read”-they form a sort of social glue.[C] Equally unsurprisingly, only about half end up with professorships for which they entered graduate school. There are simply too few posts. This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs. But fewer students want to study humanities subjects: English departments awarded more bachelor’s degrees in 1970-71 than they did 20 years later.Fewer students requires fewer teachers. So, at the end of a decade of theses-writing, many humanities students leave the profession to do something for which they have not been trained.[D] One reason why it is hard to design and teach such courses is that they can cut across the insistence by top American universities that liberal-arts educations and professional education should be kept separate, taught in different schools. Many students experience both varieties. Although more than half of Harvard undergraduates end up in law, medicine or business, future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-arts degree before embarking on a professional qualification.[E] Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation, top American universities have professionalised the professor. The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose fourfold between 1960and 1990, but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll. Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career: as late as 1969a third of American professors did not possess one. But the key idea behind professionalisation, argues Mr Menand, is that “the kn owledge and skills needed for a particular specialization are transmissible but not transferable.”So disciplines acquire a monopoly not just over the production of knowledge, but also over the production of the producers of knowledge.[F] The key to reforming higher education, concludes Mr Menand, is to alter the way in which “the producers of knowledge are produced.”Otherwise, academics will continue to think dangerously alike, increasingly detached from the societies which they study, investigate and crit icize.”Academic inquiry, at least in some fields, may need to become less exclusionary and more holistic.”Yet quite how that happens, Mr Menand dose not say. [G] The subtle and intelligent little book T he Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking of applying to take a doctoral degree. They may then decide to go elsewhere. For something curious has been happening in American Universities, and Louis Menand, a professor of English at Harvard University, captured it skillfully.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)With its theme that “Mind is the master weaver,” creating our inner character and outer circumstances, the book As a Man Thinking by James Allen is an in-depth exploration of the central idea of self-help writing.(46) Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption we all share-that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts-and reveal its erroneous nature.Because most of us believe that mind is separate from matter, we think that thoughts can be hidden and made powerless; this allows us to think one way and act another. However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind, and (47) while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that? ”Since desire and will are damaged by the presence of thoughts that do not accord with desire, Allen concluded : “ We do not attract what we want, but what we are.” Achievement happens because you as a person embody the external achievement; you don’t “ get” success but become it. There is no gap between mind and matter.\Part of the fame of Allen’s book is its contention that “Circumstances do not make a person, they reveal him.”(48) This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.This ,however, would be a knee-jerk reaction to a subtle argument. Each set of circumstances, however bad, offers a unique opportunity for growth. If circumstances always determined the life and prospects of people, then humanity would never have progressed. In fat, (49)circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us and if we feel that we have been “wronged” then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation .Nevertheless, as any biographer knows, a person’s early life and its conditions are often the greatest gift to an individual.The sobering aspect of Alle n’s book is that we have no one else to blame for our present condition except ourselves. (50) The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before we were experts in the array of limitations, now we become authorities of what is possible.Section Ⅲ WritingPart A51.Directions:Write a letter to a friend of yours to1) recommend one of your favorite movies and 2) give reasons for your recommendation Your should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2Do not sign your own name at the end of the leter.

南京理工大学工程硕士英语课程考试试题（2011年8月）Directions：Write all your answers on the Answer Sheet.Part I Reading Comprehension (40 points)Section A Reading in depthDirections:In this section there are 2 passages. Each passage is followed by 5 questions orunfinished sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose thebest answer and mark your choice on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.All forms of life interact with the environment in which they exist, and also with other lifeforms. In the 20th century this premise gave rise to the concept of ecosystems, which can bedefined as any situation where there is interaction between organisms and their environment.Ecosystems are composed of a variety of abiotic and biotic components that function in aninterrelated way. The structure and composition is determined by various environmental factorsthat are interrelated. Variations of these factors will initiate dynamic modifications to theecosystem. Some of the more important components are: soil, atmosphere, radiation from the sun,water, and living organisms.Each living organism has a continual relationship with every other element that makes up itsenvironment. Within the ecosystem, species are connected and dependent upon one another in thefood chain, and exchange energy and matter between themselves as well as with theirenvironment.Every species has limits of tolerance to factors that affect its survival, reproductive successand ability to continue to thrive and interact sustainably with the rest of its environment, which inturn may have effects on these factors for many other species or even on the whole of life. Theconcept of an ecosystem is thus an important subject of study, as such study provides informationneeded to make decisions about how human life may interact in a way that allows the variousecosystems to be sustained for future use rather than used up or otherwise rendered ineffective.For the purpose of such study, a unit of smaller size is called a micro-ecosystem. For example, anecosystem can be a stone and all the life under it. A macro-ecosystem might involve a wholeecological region, with its drainage basin.The following ecosystems are examples of the kinds currently under intensive study: oceanicmeadow ecosystems such asecosystems, continental ecosystems, such as “forest ecosystems”,steppes or savannas, or agro-ecosystems, systems in inland waters, such as lentic ecosystems suchas lakes or ponds; or lotic ecosystems such as rivers. Another classification can be made byreference to its communities, such as in the case of a human ecosystem. Regional groupings of,distinctive plants and animals best adapted to the region’s physical natural environment, latitude altitude, and terrain are known as biomes. The broadest classification, today under wide study andanalysis, and also subject to widespread arguments about its nature and validity, is that of theentire sum of life seen as analogous to a self-sustaining organism.1. Which of the following statements about an ecosystem is NOT true?A) An ecosystem is usually composed of some nonliving and living organisms.B) A stone and all the life under it can be regarded as an ecosystem.C) An ecosystem means the interaction between some nonliving and living organisms andtheir environment.D) Sunlight, air, soil, water, and human beings are some of the important elements within theecosystem.2. How is the relationship among all the living organisms?A) All the living organisms are closely related to each other.B) Each living organism depends on others.C) In order to thrive, they have to give and gain energy from others.D) All of the above.3. Why is it important to learn the concept of an ecosystem according to the text?A) Many species have limited capacities to continue to grow vigorously.B) We can learn how to protect the natural resources for future use.C) Apart from a micro-ecosystem, it is also important to learn the concept of amacro-ecosystem which usually involves a whole ecological region.D) We can make decisions for human life to interact with sustainable development.4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A) Rivers, lakes or ponds belongs to oceanic ecosystem.B) The classification that each life can be regarded as a self-sustaining organism is still underwidespread arguments.C) The broadest classification of ecosystem might involve a whole ecological region, such asin the case of a human ecosystem.D) All of the above.5. The possible meaning of the word “lentic” in the last paragraph is “of o r relating to________”．A) dirty waters B) still watersC) deep waters D) fresh watersPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Exactly where we will stand in the long war against disease by the year 2050 is impossible to say. But if developments in research maintain their current pace, it seems likely that a combinationof improved attention to dietary and environmental factors, along with advances in genetherapyand protein-targeted drugs, will have virtually eliminated most major classes of disease.From an economic standpoint, the best news may be that these accomplishments could be accompanied by a drop in health-care costs. Costs may even fall as diseases are brought under control using pinpointed, short-term therapies now being developed. By 2050 there will be fewer hospitals, and surgical procedures will be largely restricted to the treatment of accidents and other forms of trauma(外伤). Spending on nonacute care, both in nursing facilities and in homes, will also fall sharply as more elderly people lead healthy lives until close to death.One result of medicine’s success in controlling disease will be a dramatic increase in life expectancy. The extent of that increase is a highly speculative matter, but it is worth noting that medical science has already helped to make the very old (currently defined as those over 85 yearsof age) the fastest-growing segment of the population. Between 1960 and 1995, the U. S.population as a whole increased by about 45%, while the segment over 85 years of age grew by almost 300%. There has been a similar explosion in the population of centenarians, with the result that survival to the age of 100 is no longer the newsworthy fear that it was only a few decades ago. U. S. Census Bureau projections already forecast dramatic increases in the number of centenarians in the next 50 years: 4 million in 2050, compared with 37,000 in 1990.Although Census Bureau calculations project an increase in average life-span of only eight years by the year 2050, some experts believe that the human life-span should not begin to encounter any theoretical natural limits before 120 years. With continuing advances in molecular medicine and a growing understanding of the aging process, that limit could rise to 130 years or more.6. The main idea of this passage is that ___________.A) the health-care costs will have been reduced by 2050B) most people can live 120 years or even more after 2050C) the development of medical science may help increase human life expectancyD) the development of medical science help the very old become the fastest-growing part ofthe population7. According to paragraph 1 and 2, which of the following is true?A) The drop of health-care costs may result in the increase of most diseases.B) The drop of health-care costs may result in the decrease of most diseases.C) As a result of a drop of health-care costs, most diseases may be eliminated.D) The elimination of most diseases may result in a drop in health-care costs.8. The author thinks that, by 2050, surgical procedures will be greatly limited to the treatment oftrauma because ________.A) there will be fewer hospitalsB) the health-care expending dropsC) most classes of diseases will be brought under controlD) people don’t like to go through the surgical procedure9. In paragraph 3, the sentence “the extent of that increase is a highly speculative matter …”implies that ______.A) people are not quite sure about how much human life expectancy can be increaseB) increasing human life-span venturousC) whether people’s life expectancy can be increased is doubtfulD) people spend much time pondering on if human life-span can be longer10. From paragraph 3, we can infer that, only a few decades ago, _______.A) it was not rare for a person to live for 100 yearsB) it was not a newsworthy fear for a person to live for 100 yearsC) few people could live for 100 yearsD) many people could live for 100 yearsSection B (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions.For questions 11-17, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 18-20, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.What Do Dogs and Cats Bring to Us?Man’s best friend is helping reform young offenders and along with cats, research shows,giving owners better health.Unwanted dogs bring criminals to heelFor a project designed to fight recidivism（累犯）（among some of the worst young offendersin the United States）, it has a somewhat unexpected title. Project Pooch is not the sort of namedestined to make children sleep easier in their beds at night.The project gives juvenile murderers, rapists and armed robbers a badly behaved dog to lookafter and see if it improves their behaviour.The project at Oregon’s MacLaren youth correctional facility has had a 100% success rate incutting reoffending. In the period studied, between 1993 and 1999, around 100 young offendersaged between 18 and 24 cared for wayward dogs. So far, not one is back behind bars.“I’m really pleased with the success, but I’m not altogether surprised,” said Joan Dakids who had never had any responsibility and we were takingruns Project Pooch. “These werethem and saying, ‘hey, this is something you're in charge of, something you’re responsible f Project Pooch takes in dogs from local dog shelters that have behavioral problems, such asaggressiveness or excessive barking. They are then paired off with young offenders, most ofwhom have been convicted of serious crimes such as murder and sexual assault.The young offenders have to look after the dogs seven days a week, feed them, walk them,and take them through obedience（顺从）training, until they can be given to families who arelooking for a dog.“I think the project works because the kids see the effect the bad behaviour of the dog has onsaid Mrs Dalton.them and it allows them to see the effect their bad behaviour has on others,” “You could really see the change in the kids, and that has obviously carried through when they leftthe correctional facility.” At the 10th International Conference on Human-Animal Interactions in Glasgow, Mrs Daltonsaid she hoped the project would be extended to other correctional institutions across the US.funding is a big problem,” she added.It is not, however, merely young offenders who benefit from having a dog ---- everyone does.Pets make owners healthierAccording to research unveiled at the conference, pet owners visit their doctors between 15%and 20% less than people who do not own animals. In a study carried out among 11,000 people inGermany, 2,000 people in Australia and 1,000 people in China, researchers discovered that evenafter things like gender and income were taken into account, pet owners visited their doctors 8%less.“This is the first time a study has been done where people have been repeatedly interviewedand it has really been shown conclusively that pet owners have better health than non-pet owners,” said Bruce Headey, from the University of Melbourne. “I don’t think you can give any singlereason why pet owners live longer, but I think companionship has a lot to do with it.”For people intending to prolong their life by buying a goldfish, however, there is a note ofcaution: the study only shows conclusively that owning a cat or a dog helps cut visits to the doctor.But anyone taking the trouble to look after a dog who does fall seriously ill may find anotherbenefit to pet ownership.A study in the US on people who suffered heart attacks, revealed that pet owners are up tofour times more likely to survive than non-pet owners.Erika Friedman, from the University of Maryland, said that in her study dog owners had asurprisingly high survival rate compared with non-pet owners.“There are a number of studies which show that in a moderately stressful situation pets canlower your stress responses,” she said.“We think this carries over into everyday life and, for dog owners, their pet can help themstay alive after a heart attack.” But it is not just dogs that relieve stress. In a more anecdotal UK survey carried out on 500cat owners aged over 55 by the charity Cats Protection, most cat owners said their pet helped themovercome stress and loneliness.Perhaps more worryingly, some 75% of cat owners questioned said they preferred cats tohumans.Dennis Turner, president of the conference, said the research unveiled yesterday revealed thedependency between pet owners and their pets. “The human-animal bond has indeed come ofage,” he said.Animal magic· Forget spending money on unused vitamin supplements and energy on unwanted gym visits,the secret to better health is pet ---- or specifically cat and dog ---- ownership. The average petowner visits their doctor 20% less than non-pet owners.·In the event of a cardiac arrest, it probably pays to call the pet shop shortly after theemergency services. Dog owners are four times more likely to stay alive following a heart attackthan those who live a life without man’s best friend.s about who owns cats, cat owners aged · In a survey destined to do nothing to reverse clichéover 55 said their pets alleviate loneliness and make them feel less stressed. So enamoured bytheir feline friends are the cat owners that 75% prefer their company to humans.11.Project Pooch aims to help juvenile reoffenders and brings peace to the troubledneighborhoods.12.The dogs in the project Pooch are brought in by their owners and would be returned to theowners after the training.13.The Project Pooch has brought a sense of responsibility to the kids who paired with thewayward dogs.een Human beings and Animals.14.Projects like “Project Pooch” research on the interaction betw15.According to the research, because of the companionship brought out by pet-raising, petowners are less likely to go to hospital.ses.16.Pet can save owner who suffer from heart attacks and lower the owner’s stress respon17.The writer doesn’t think it is good for the pet owners to prefer only pets as their lifecompanions.18.is a big problem for projects like “Pooh” to be carried out in the correctional institutions in United States.fic reason why pets can or save the owners’ lives, but 19.There isn’t any specicompanionship has contributed a lot to it.20.When one is diagnosed of cardiac diseases, it is suggested to call the pet shop because dogowners are four times more likely to after a heart attack than those without dogs.11.

Read the passage andanswer the questions briefly.s legal system, long known for Latin tongue-twisting phrases and slow delivery of Britain’justice, started a brave new world of plain English this month.In the biggest shakeup for the legal system in a century, civil cases will come to court as alast resort and lawyers will have to use approved contemporary phrases instead of ancient Latin expressions. Lawyers will also be punished with fines for arguing over minor points while judgeswill have to keep strict deadlines. Lawyers said the new reform package would benefit the profession by speeding up legal process and cutting costs.But the lawyers dismissed the removal of Latin expressions from their vocabulary as unnecessary. “I deliberately learned Latin at school to help me at the Bar,” said one lawyer who declined to be named. “At least they haven’t ruled out ‘carborundum illegitimi’,: he added, a Latin expression thought to originate in the 1940s and meaning “don’t let them grind you down.”“Someof the terminology (to replace the Latin) is patronizing(照顾，惠顾) in the extreme,”said one London lawyer. “To substitute nine words where originally two would have been used is patronizing to the public,” he added.To help simplify the language for “plaintiffs (people who are bringing a claim to court),”Latin expressions such as “in camera”, which means in private, will come under the axe. Otherphrases to return to history include “ex parte”(without notice) and an “Anton Piller order”–named after a case involving a German company in the mid-1970s -- becomes simply a search order. “The reforms are to make justice simpler and more accessible,”a spokeswoman for Britain’s chief judicial officer, the Lord Chancellor said.To the relief of many traditionalists, however, one part of Britain’s legal system will remain unchanged for now at least – the white horsehair wig.21.What is the reform of Britain’s legal system?____________________________________________________________________.22.

For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected; it does not occur to us to ask ourselves: Why has this happened? Why arewe having to braaicade ourselves against our neighbors ans fellow citizns, and when, exactly, did this start to take over our lives?We trust no one. We have become so smart about self-protection that, in the end, we all outsmarted ourselves. We may have locked the evils out, but in doing so we have blocked ourselves in.That may be the legacy we remember best when we look back on this age: In dealing with the unseen horrors among us, we became prisoners of ourselves. All of us prisoners, in this time of our troubles.锁成了美国的新的象征。
