Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B，C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1。
TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused，probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure。
There are no man-made rules，as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are，of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 ，but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular.“123456” or "12345"are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers(and hackers) create dictionaries which list com- mon passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small sam- ples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date—70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games."Nag screens" that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.' And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it's time for users to consider the altenatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out2017年3月笔试真卷第6页(共12页)[C] random numbers [D] popular names27.Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to[A] lack of research tools [B] lack of research funds[C] limited time of studies [D] limited size of samples28. It is indicated in the text that[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C} nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe29. The underlined word"compromise"in Para.5 most probably means[A] comprise [B] compensate[C] endanger [D] encounter30. The last paragraph of the text suggests that[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C] big websites limit the number of guesses[D] big websites offer users convenient accessText2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain's heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones' foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them,says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historie remains,which were disappearing fast. Threats also in- cluded farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain's largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved."Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,"says Glancey."At the time places like Stonchenge were just sen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.""Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history."2017年3月笔试真卷第7页(共12页)But Lubbock couldn't buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed govemment powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain's heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because[A] rats weakened its foundation [B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it [D] visitors chipped pieces off it33.Lubbock proposed a bill to[A] push people to learn history [B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection [D] push visitors to behave properly34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882,it had been made less[A] severe [B] biased[C] implicit [D] complex35. This text is mainly about[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments BillPart BDirections:Read the texis from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy:As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don't think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it's really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.2017年3月笔试真卷第8页(共12页)Anna;My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings.and celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth:There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later 、my own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creep- ing in.Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and hope that she enjoys her life.RuthI think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a news- paper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person(36-40) to the appropriate statement.Note; there are nwo extra statements.Statements36.Lucy37.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing "Sunshine on My Shoulders," I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and outdoors I've had for decades as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. 4]Studics have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun expo- sure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun's rays. 42 Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to berter heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.43 Research on 280 volunteers there found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. 44 Although"earthing" or "grounding" is con- sidered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to re- duce heart discasc risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches.45 A 2011 British review of 11 studies found that people who exercised outside generally reported morc energy and less anger, tension, and depression—all factors contributing to heart attack—than those who worked out indoors.「A] Exercising indoors is another option.[B] It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks.C1Excrcising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors.[D] In Japan, walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice.[E] Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health.[F] As a doctor, I can tell you they are also very good for your heart.[G]You'll get greater health benefits exercising where it's green.Part DDirections:Read the following text from which 10 words harve been removed.

Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words.Lee Rodriguez-Espada, 12,was late to the Wegmans Family 5k Sunday in Rochester,New York. To save time, her mom dropped her near the starting line before parking the car. Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line, expec- ting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running,Lee didn't realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Tuming to another runner,she asked how much further."That's when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,"Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn't among the runners crossing the 5k finish line, her mom alerted race of- ficials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn't quit. She needed to fin- ish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line,after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy."I see her with a medal and I thought,'Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real,'" she said."She decided to just keep running and not give up." "I'm really proud," said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.THAT IS THE END OF THE TEST.2017年3月笔试真卷第12页(共12页)参考答案及精析第一部分听力1-5 BACDA 6- 10 BCDDB II- 15 CDBBA 16-20 CDCCD21-25 ABAAD听力眼分录音材料Purt A1.M:Hey,Shelly, I am going to get some chips and water, what aan I getfor you?W;Well, I don't roaly nesd anything, maybe just a eoke, bet huny up, the movie will start soon.M: Dun't wory, I'll be righ back.2.

Passage 1Most plants and animals have a basic behavior pattern. For them, everything can be described in terms of a cycle. Some cycles are long, such as the cycle of growth from birth to death. Others are short, like the daily cycle of sleeping and waking. These basic cycles are linked to yearly changes in the weather.Plants respond to seasonal changes so that they can survive. In the spring, plants grow new leaves and flowers, and they produce seed. By the fall, the leaves of many plants lose their green coloring and turn yellow, red, or brown. Other plants lose leaves as soon as they start to go dormant. Some animals respond to fall by moving to new areas.Days grow shorter through the fall and winter. In spring, the days become longer, and by summer the days are their longest again. Most animals are born in the spring and summer but not in the fall or winter. Some animals, such as bears, prepare for winter by eating extra food in the fall. They sleep for long periods of time during the winter.1. What type of behavior pattern do most plants and animals have?2. How do plants respond to seasonal changes?3. What do animals like bears do to prepare for winter?答案：1. Most plants and animals have a basic behavior pattern.2. Plants respond to seasonal changes by growing new leaves and flowers, producing seeds, and losing their leaves.3.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A,B,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by fir house in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard’s terminology while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) had 9,000 cars a day and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.Appleyard’s study focuses on the influence of ______.A.traffic volume on the residentsB.rate of crime on the neighborhoodC.social classes on the transportationD.degree of pollution on the environment47.Appleyard discovered that increase in the volume of traffic ______.A.made people more violentB.would lead to increase in crimeC.was accompanied by increase in crimeD.had the same effect on people as increase in crime48.The author’s main purpose in the second paragraph is to ______.A.discuss the problem of handling trashB.suggest ways to cope with traffic problemsC.point out the disadvantages of heavy trafficD.propose an alternative system of transportation49.People on Gough Street ______.A.felt sorry that their block had been pulled downB.felt indifferent about people moving outC.thought their old community was goneD.thought mostly of themselves50.What can we learn about Franklin StreetA.It is not a nice neighborhood for childrenB.People often throw trash out as they drive througC.People there have made friends with people on OctaviD.People there own twice as many cars as people on Gough StreeText 2Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see A guy who never grew up Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person.For the first time, according to a US poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports ‘stars and racing drivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night’s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.But don’t think we’re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours).51. The AOL survey finds that electronic games ______.A.do not present a violent onscreen worldB.no longer keep gamers from growing upC.are no longer exclusive to young peopleD.are not as popular with teenagers as before52.Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the gameA.Teenage gir lB.Older womeC.Men in their 20D.Men 50 and olde53.When asked about the extent of their habit, some players ______.A.refused to provide an answer to this questionB.denied they were affected by electronic gamesC.wondered why they were asked such a questionD.stressed their interest in playing electronic games54.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.electronic games are less harmful than televisionB.television viewers are more realistic than gamersC.television is more popular than electronic gamesD.gamers have less self-control than TV viewers55.According to the writer, the ESA members ______.A.have sufficient knowledge of gamesB.think their games are healthy productsC.serve as the role models for game playersD.are concerned about gamers' cultural activitiesText 3The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When thefemale ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female’s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.A.it is a special kind of birdB.it lives in large desert areasC.it has special wings and legsD.it is the largest bird in the world57.Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.A.12 eggs in her nestB.18 eggs in her nestC.20 eggs in her nestD.30 eggs in her nest58.The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______.A.she can only hatch her own eggsB.those eggs are unlikely to be hatchedC.those eggs are to be hatched by otherD.she can only hatch a limited number of eggs59.The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______.A.colorB.numberC.shapeD.weight60.The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______.A.her nest -is not big enoughB.she cannot protect all her eggsC.she cannot tolerate all her eggsD.her nest is not comfortable enoughPart BDirections: Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today’s single women. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn’t have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn’t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.Grise LevisonI think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you’d want tospend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.Marry BrownIn recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.Donna SmithI think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren’t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.Elizabeth BudyI think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It’s also true that they’re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable mar riage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn’t a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today’s single women.61.____________________62.____________________63.____________________64.____________________65.____________________Section ⅣWritingDirections: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A1.

Many people throw litters everywhere without caring for the environment. The beautiful scenery is totally destroyed by the rubbish they throw away.With the development of our economy, people are paying less and less attention to the protection of our environment; as a result, we are facing a severe environmental problem. If we don’t protect our environment, our lives will be in great danger. We must take some measures to prevent the situation from becoming worse!For instance, we can pick up litters and put them into the dustins, and we can teach children not to throw the litters casually.As an old saying goes, "A small act can make a big difference." If everyone makes a contribution to the protection of our environment, I believe our world will be cleaner and more beautiful in the future, where green patches can be easily reached and the blue sky can always be seen clearly over our heads.。

Lie detectors are commonly 26as emotion detectors, for their aim is to 27 bodily changes that contradict what a 28 says. The lie detector records changes 29 heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical 30 of the skin. In the first part of the 31, you are electronically connected to the machine and 32 a few neutral questions (“What is your name?”etc).Your physical reactions serve 33 the standard for evaluating what comes 34. Then you are presented with a few 35 questions among the neutral ones (“When did you rob the bank?”). The idea is that if you are 36, your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to 37 it. Your heart rate and breathing will change 38 as you respond to the questions.That is the theory, but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not 39.

It wasn’t easy getting hired. I had to fight my way into a dime a word job. But once you were there, 1 found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life —guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there —moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I stuck with it.Instead, I had made a decision to leave.I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,”I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.”“To another paper?”he asked.I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything, not trusting myself just then.I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. That the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways. That we were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change.“I’m glad for you,”he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t,”he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,”he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody —even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion dollar property.“I’m resigning, Bill,”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either.After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous.［A］newspaper ［B］magazine［C］temple ［D］church47. If the writer stayed with the Globe,.［A］he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams［B］he would let his long cherished dreams fade away［C］he would never have to worry about his future life［D］he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions48. The writer wanted to resign because.［A］he had serious trouble with his boss［B］he got underpaid at his job for the Globe［C］he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry［D］he had found a better paid job in a publishing house49. When the writer decided to resign, the Globe was faced with.［A］ a trouble with its staff members［B］ a shortage of qualified reporters［C］an unfavorable business situation［D］an uncontrollable business situation50. By “I wish I were in your shoes.”(in the last paragraph), Bill Taylor meant that.［A］the writer was to fail［B］the writer was stupid［C］he would do the same if possible［D］he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of living in modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars,wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practising their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performedby different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal. Another for stretching and cutting. Another for shaping. Another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labour; in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialisation could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth trains and railway lines spread out like a spider’s web across the world. British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production. What were called mass production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. The pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.51. We should be grateful to Adam Smith because.［A］his ideas made it possible for people to improve their lives［B］he invented a more efficient way of pin making［C］he started the industrial revolution［D］he brought to people a high standard of living52. Which of the following is true according to the passage?［A］The Division of Labour makes work more interesting.［B］Specialisation could solve the problem of unemployment.［C］Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of Labour.［D］Adam Smith insisted that each worker be better paid.53. From the passage we know that the Industrial Revolution.［A］led to Adam Smith’s idea of specialisation［B］was finished in the nineteenth century［C］also has its side effects in society［D］put an end to poverty in the world54. According to the passage, the Industrial Revolution is responsible for the following results except.［A］prosperity ［B］crime［C］unemployment ［D］overcrowdedness55. What is the best title for this passage?［A］The Theory of Division of Labour and Its Significance［B］The Industrial Revolution and Its Significance［C］The Causes of Industrial Revolution［D］Adam Smith, the Economist and PhilosopherText 3Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going.The lottery money is supposed to go to charity —but it makes me angry to see some of the so called “good causes”it’s being used to support. Also, Camelot, the organizers, have made a profit of ￡million in five months. We hear now that a lot of that money is boosting the pay packets of the company’s bosses.For the past 10 years I’ve been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago —he was only 51. There’s been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it’s been devastating. I’ve also lost two sisters in law, my brother, Michael, my father in law and my father. That’s apart from several close friends.The charity is 50 years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research. It also runs asupport line for the families of cancer sufferers. Our local group raises money through dances, sales and coffee mornings, and all the funds go directly to cancer research. In 1993 Tenovus raised ￡3 million —and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.I’m not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about what they’re doing. The chances of winning the jackpot are so small; they might as well throw their money Government tells us that the proceeds are going to things like the arts and sport, but what about the National Health Service? They should give some cash to that, too. How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so called works of art —like displays of potatoes —or buying up Winston Churchill’s papers at a cost of ￡12 million?So who really are the winners in the National Lottery? When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research,I could weep. It’s time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery. It’s disheartening and so infuriating.56. The writer seems to hope that.［A］people will spend more money on the National Lottery［B］people will give more money to charity［C］most of the lottery money will go to charity［D］most of the lottery money will be used for cancer research57. The reason why the writer raises funds for cancer research is that.［A］she herself is suffering from cancer［B］the cancer is the most frightening disease［C］ a number of her relatives died of cancer［D］some cancer research needs more money than other research58. In this text the writer is expressing.［A］her personal opinions［B］the opinions of the general public［C］her feelings about cancer sufferers［D］some ideas of fund raising59. The organisation “Tenovus”is.［A］run by a group of people in the writer’s town［B］ a charity organisation which has some local groups［C］set up to collect money for people who lose their relatives［D］set up to assist the National Lottery60. From the text we can conclude that.［A］the writer is enthusiastically supporting the National Lottery［B］the writer has objections to the National Lottery［C］the writer believes that the lottery money should be used for cancer research ［D］the writer is just expressing her feelings about collecting money for charity Part BDirections：Read the texts from a magazine article in which five business leaders talked about their predictions for high tech developments in the 21st Questions 61 to 65,match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G)given your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Maguel de Icaza:Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is thefoundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.Austin Hill:Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.Ng Ede Phang:This will be the year that plain old text e mail sits up and starts talking —and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. An e mail doesn’t tell me whether you’re happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e mail just cannot match.Murray Goldman:For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing devices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.Christine Karman:We’ll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don’t have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry inEurope may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I’d go to California or Boston.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note:there are two extra statements.Statements61. Maguel de Icaza ［A］Business travelers will set thetrend of future computer market.62. Austin Hill ［B］Europe will catchup with America in the hi-tech industry.63. Ng Ede Phang ［C］Privacy needsspecial protection in the information age.64. Murray Goldman ［D］Voice e-mail adds a human touch toonline communication.65. Christine Karman ［E］Compactness and multifunction will be a trend in the future market.[F] Free software helps bring about digital equality.[G]The digital divide between Europe and the US may widen.Section IV Writing(40 minutes)You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.
