Read the following passages carefully and complete the tasks. Write your answers an the Answer Sheet (50分)TEXT ASOMETHING ABOUT NAPLES just seems made for comedy. The name alone conjures up pizza, and lovable, incorrigible innocents warbling “O Sole Mio”; a nutty little corner of the world where the id runs wild and the only answer to the question “Why?” appears to be “Why not?”Naples: the butter-side-down of Italian cities, where even the truth has a strangely fictitious tinge. One day a car rear-ended one of the city’s minibuses. The bus driver got out to investigate.While he stood there talking, his only passenger took the wheel and drove off Neither passenger nor bus was ever seen again.Then there was that busy lunch hour in the central post office when a crack in the ceiling opened and postal workers were overwhelmed by an avalanche of stale croissants. As the cleaners hauled away garbage bags of moldy breakfast, the questions remained: Who? Why? And what else could still be up there?But Naples actually isn’t so funny. Italy’s third largest city, with 1.1 million people has a much darker side. where chaos reigns: bag snatching and mugging clogged streets of stupefying confusion, where traffic moves to mysterious laws of its own through multiple intersections whose traffic lights haven’t functioned for months, maybe years-if they have lights at all. Packs of wild dogs roam the city’s main park. Nineteen policemen on the anti-narcotics squad are arrested for accepting payoffs from the Camorra, the local Mafia.To many Italians, particularly those in the wealthy, industrialized north, none of this is surprising. To them Naples means political corruption, wasted federal subsidies, rampant organized crime, appallingly large families, and cunning, lazy people who prefer to do something shady rather than honest work.Nepolitans know their reputation, “People think nothing ever gets done here,” said a young professional woman “Sometimes they say, “Surely you come from Milan. You come from Naples? Naples?”Giovanni del Form, an insurance executive, told me about his flight home from a northern. Italian city, the plane waited on the began to bear the comments around me: ‘Well here we are in Naples,’” he said with a wince. “These comments make me suffer”.Neapolitans may complain, but most can’t conceive of living anywhere else. The city has the intimacy, tension, and craziness of a large but intensely devoted family. The people have the same perverse pride as New Yorkers. They love even the things that don’t work, and they love being Neapolitans. They know outsiders don’t get it. and they don’t care. “Even if you go away” one woman said, “you remain a prisoner of this city. My city has many problems, but away from it I feel bad.”This is a city in which living on the brink of collapse is normal. Naples has survived wars revolutions, floods, earthquakes, and eruptions of nearby Vesuvius. First a wealthy, colony founded by the Greeks (who called it Neapolis, or “new city”), then a flourishing Roman resort, it lived through various incarnations under dynasties of Normans, Swabians, Austrians, Spanish, and French, not to mention a glorious period as the resplendent capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.It was a brilliant, cultivated city that once ranked with London and Paris. The Nenziatella, the oldest military school in Italy, still basks in its two centuries of historic glory, the Teatro San Carlo remains one of the greatest opera houses in the world. The treasures of Pompeii grace the National Museum. Stretched Iuxuriantly between mountains and sea along the curving coast of the Bay of Naples, full of ornate palaces, gardens, churches, and works of art, with its mild climate and rich folklore, Naples in the last century was beloved by artists and writers. The most famous response to this magnificence was the comment by an unknown admirer, “See Naples and die.”Today that remark carries less poetic connotations. The bombardments of World War II were followed by the depredations of profiteers and politicians-for-rent who reduced the city to a demoralized shadow of itself, surviving on government handouts, Until five years ago citygovernments were cobbled together by warring political factions; some mayors lasted only a few months. A cholera outbreak in 1973 was followed in 1980 by a major earthquake. Its famous port has Withered (though the U.S. Sixth Fleet command is still based just up the coast), industries have failed, tourists have fled, natives have moved out-it seems that only drug trafficking is booming “Unlivable,” the Neapolitans say.1. The two examples in the second and third paragraphs intend to show that(A) Naples has a high incidence of traffic accidents.(C) people there love to store food for years.(D) everything appears to be on the wrong side.2. The fallowing words are appropriate to describe traffic conditions in Naples EXCEPT(A) disorder.(B) overcrowding.(C) insecurity.(D) inefficiency.3. It can be concluded from the passage that the Northerners(A) are critical of what Naples represents.(B) sympathize with Neopolitans.(C) share many thins with Neopolitans.(D) make every effort to shun Neopolitans.4. The author implies that Neopolitans’ affection for the city(A) was unrealistic.(B) went a bit too far.(C) was extraordinary.(D) gave rise to concern.5. When the author says “Today that remark carries less poetic connotations.” he actually means that(A) the city can now boast very few poets.(B) artists and writers have left for London and Paris.(C) the city underwent heavy bombing during the War.(D) The city’s present problems obscured its glorious past.TEXT BOnce found almost entirely in the western United States and in Asia, dinosaur fossils are now being discovered on all seven continents. A host of new revelations emerged in 1998 that promise to reshape scientists views of dinosaurs, including what they looked like and when and where they lived.It is doubtful that Tyrannosaurus Rex had lips or that Triceratops had cheeks, says Lawrence Wittrier, an assistant professor of anatomy at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Witmer was a leading researcher for a study on dinosaur anatomy that was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology, which concluded on October 3 in Snowbird, Utah.Witmer’s study reached its conclusions by using high-tech computerized axial tomography (CT or CA T) seans along with comparative anatomy studies. For example, the theory that Triceratops and similar dinosaur species had cheeks was based on past comparisons with mammals such as sheep. But Witmer’s careful analysis found the structure of the triceratops jaw and skull made it more likely that Triceratops had a beak like that of an eagle. Witmer said thatscientists should use birds and crocodiles as models when researching the appearance of dinosaurs.In early October scientists announced that they had confirmed the discovery of a new type of ceratopsian dinosaur. The dinosaur’s bones, found in New Mexico in 1996, are fencing paleontologists to rethink their, theories about when ceratopsians migrated to what is now North America.Scientists previously thought that ceratopsians, the group that included the well-known Triceratops, arrived in North America from Asia between 70 million and 80 million years ago. During this time, the late Cretaceous Period, the earth’s two supercontinents-Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south-were in the process of pulling apart, cutting dinosaur populations off from each other and interrupting migratory patterns.The fossilized bones, found by eight-year-old Christopher Wolfe and his father, paleontologist Doug Wolfe of the Mesa Southwest Museum in Arizona, date to about 90 million years ago. This could mean that ceratopstans originated in North America and migrated to Asia rather than the reverse, paleontologists Said. Doug Wolfe named the important new species of dinosaur Zuniceratops christopheri after his son.An expedition from the Universities of Alaska in Anchorage and Fairbanks has discovered a region in remote northern Alaska so rich in fossilized dinosaur tracks that team members dubbed it the “dino expressway”. The trampled area was found during the summer of 1998 on Alaska’s Norah Slope near the Brooks Range.The team found 13 new track sites and made casts from the prints of five different types of dinosaurs. The rock in which the prints were found dates to more than 100 million years ago, or about 25 million years older than the previously discovered signs of dinosaurs in the Arctic region. Paleontologists said that the new findings provide important evidence that dinosaurs migrated between Asia and North America during the early and mid-Cretaceous Period, before Asia split off into its own continent.Two rich fossil sites in the hills of Bolivia have been recently discovered, exciting paleontologists and dinosaur buffs .This discovery includes one of the most spectacular dinosaur trackways ever found.The discovery of a large site in the mountain region of Kila, Kila in southern Bolivia was announced in early October. Here scientists found the tracks of at least two unknown species of dinosaur. These included a large quadruped (four-footed) dinosaur that was probably about 20 m (about 70 ft) long.The other site, located not far from the Bolivian city of Sucre, was uncovered in a cement quarry by workers several years ago but was not brought to paleontologists attention until the middle of 1998. The site features a vertical wall covered with thousands of dinosaur prints representing more than 100 different species. The tracks date back to between 65 million and 70 million years age. Since dinosaurs are believed to have died out around 65 million years ago, the prints were likely made by some of the last dinosaurs on earth.Scientists speculated that the tracks were made at the edge of a lake or swamp and were then hardened and preserved. The rock containing the tracks was then pushed into a vertical position over millions of years of geologic activity. Dinosaur eggs have also been found at the site, which paleontologists are working to preserve before it falls victim to erosion. Paleontologists hope to study the site and learn about the diet and physical characteristics of the dinosaurs that arerepresented there.6. Witmer’s research leads people to believe(A) Tyrannosaurus Rex had lips and Triceratops had cheeks.(B) dinosaurs might have looked like mammals such as sheep.(C) dinosaurs might not have looked like what we thought.(D) dinosaurs must have looked like birds or crocodiles.7. The discovery of a new type of ceratopsian dinosaur suggests ceratopsians(A) migrated to North America around 70-80 million years ago.(B) arrived in Asia from North America about 90 million years ago.(C) originated in Asia and later migrated to North America.(D) could have moved to Asia from North America long ago.8. Newly-found fossilized tracks in Alaska proved that dinosaurs’ migration between Asia and North America took place(A) much earlier than experts previously thought.(B) much later than experts previously thought.(C) after Asia became an independent continent.(D) sometime around 25 million years ago.9. The discovery of dinosaur fossil sites in Bolivia is exciting because of the following reasons EXCEPT that(A) they are found in a continent other than Asia and North Continent.(B) the largest dinosaurs in the world are found in this discovery.(C) there are some unknown species of dinosaurs found this time.(D) the dinosaurs were believed to be some of the last ones on earth10. The passage focuses on(A) dinosaur’s geographical location.(B) shifting views of dinosaurs.(C) migration patterns of dinosaurs.(D) geologic activity of Earth.TEXT CIn sixteenth-century Italy and eighteenth-century France, waning prosperity and increasing social unrest led the ruling families to try to preserve their superiority by withdrawing from the lower and middle class behind barriers of etiquette. In a prosperous community, on the other hand, polite society soon absorbs the newly rich, and in England there has never been any shortage of books on etiquette for teaching them the manners appropriate to their new way of life.Every code of enquette has contained three elements, basic moral duties practical rules which promote effidiency; and artificial, optional graces such as formal compliments to, say, women on their beauty or superiors on their generosity and importance.In the first category are considerations for the weak and respect for age. Among the ancient Egyptians the young always stood in the young men bow as they pass the huts of the elders. In England, until about a century ago, young children did not sit in their parents’ presence without asking permission.Practical rules are helpful in such ordinary occurrences of social life as making proper introductions at parties or other functions so that people can be brought to know each other. Before the invention of the fork, etiquette directed that the fingers should be kept as clean aspossible, before the handkerchief came into common use, etiquette suggested that after spitting a person should rub the spit inconspicuously underfoot.Extremely refined behaviour, however, cultivated as an art of gracious living, has been characteristic only of societies with wealth and leisure, winch admitted women as the social equals of men After the fall of Rome, the first European society to regulate behaviour in private life in accordance with a complicated code of etiquette was twelfth-century Provence, in France.Provence had become wealthy. The lords had retamed to their castle from the crusades, and there the ideals of chivalry grew up, which emphasized the virtue and gentleness of women and demanded that a knight should profess a pure and dedicated love to a lady who would be his inspiration, and to whom he would dedicate his valiant deeds, though he would never come physically close to her. This was the introduction of the concept of romantic love, which was to influence literature for many hundreds of years and which still lives on in a debased form in simple popular songs and cheap novels today.In Renaissance Italy too, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, a wealthy and leisured society developed an extremely complex code of manners, but the rules of behaviour of fashionable society had little influence on the daily life of the lower classes. Indeed many of the rules, such as how to enter a banquet room, or how to use a sword or handkerchief for ceremonial purposes, were inelevant to the way of life of the average working man, who spent most of his life outdoors or in his own poor hut and most probably did not have a handkerchief, certainly not a sword, to his name.Yet the essential basis of all good manners does not vary. Consideration for the old and weak and the avoidance of harming or giving unnecessary offence to others is a feature of all societies everywhere and at all levels from the highest to the lowest.Answer the following questions briefly. Please write your answers on the Answer sheet.11. One characteristic of the rich classes of a declining society is their tendency____________.12. Cite TWO elements of the code of etiquette.____________________________________________________.13. According to the writer, part of chivalry is that____________________.14. Etiquette as an art of gracious living is quoted as a feature of_______________________.15. What does the writer use “Yet” in the last paragraph? ___________________.TEXTDFred Cooke of Salford turned 90 two days ago and the world has been beating a path to his door. If you haven’t noticed, the backstreet boy educated at Blackpool grammar styles himself more grandly as Alastair Cooke, broadcaster extraordinaire. An honorable KBE, he would be Sir Alastair if he had not taken American citizenship more than half a century ago.If it sounds snobbish to draw attention to his humble origins, it should be reflected that the real snob is Cooke himself, who has spent a lifetime disguising them. But the fact that he opted to renounce his British passport in 1941-just when his country needed all the wartime help it could get-is hardly a matter for congratulation.Cooke has made a fortune out of his love affair with America. entrancing listeners with a weekly monologue that has won Radio 4 many devoted adherents. Part of the pull is the developed drawl. This is the man who gave the world “mid-Atlantic’, the language of the disc jockey and public relations man.He sounds American to us and English to them, while in reality he has for decades belongedto neither. Cooke’s world is an America that exists largely in the imagination. He took ages to acknowledge the disaster that was Vietnam and even longer to wake up to Watergate. His politics have drifted to the right with age, and most of his opinions have been acquired on the golf course with fellow celebrities.He chased after stars on arrival in America, fixing up an interview with Charlie Chaplin and briefly becoming his friend. He told Cooke he could turn him into a fine light comedian; instead he is an impressionist’s dream.Cooke liked the sound of his first wife’s name almost as much as he admired her good looks. But he found bringing up baby difficult and left her for the wife of his landlord.Women listeners were unimpressed when, in 1996, be declared on air that the fact that 4% of women in the American armed forces ware roped showed remarkable self-restraint on the part of Uncle Sam’s soldiers. His arrogance in not allowing BBC editors to see his script in advance worked, not for the first time, to his detriment. His defenders said he could not help living with the 1930s values he had acquired and somewhat dubiously went on to cite “gallantry” as chief among them. Cooke’s raconteur style encouraged a whole generation of BBC men to think of themselves as more important than the story. His treacly tones were the model for the regular World Service reports. From Our Own Correspondent known as FOOCs in the business. They may yet be his epitaph.Answer the following questions briefly. Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.16. Which fact about Cooke is the writer most critical of?17. How would you describe Cooke?18. What does the writer mean by saying that ‘...most of his opinions have been acquired on the golf course with fellow celebrities’ at the end of the fourth paragraph?19. What does the word unimpressed suggest in the last paragraph?20. In what kind of tone does the writer comment on Cooke’s life and career in the passage?IV. This section contains two tasks. Complete the tasks according to the instructions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.TASK ONE (20 分)Supply a missing paragraph to the following passage. Your paragraph should be consistent with the tone, style and rhetorical organization of the given passage. The paragraph should be within 80 words in length. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.An acceptable essay must be unified. It must make one clearly identifiable point. The best way to ensure unity is to write a strong thesis sentence, and then to make sure that everything else you write in the essay somehow develops that thesis sentence.In addition to being unified, an acceptable essay must be cohesive. Its parts must stick together. Cohesion is obviously closely related to unity Unless the essay sticks together there will be-or will appear to be-no unity. Cohesion, however, is really a matter of connectives, of the glue or the strings that hold together the different parts of an essay. We sometimes use the word transitions to refer to the connective devices by which writers announce that they are finished with one part of an argument and going on to the next part We sometimes use the word sign posts to refer to the quite explicit information that writers give to their readers about where they are in the development of their support for their thesis. Whatever the terminology we use to explain conesion, your will appreciate your telling them, quite directly, where you are and where you are going.Finally, an acceptable essay must be organized. Some principles of arrangement must be made evident to your readers. If your readers are to know where they are at any given point in your argument, they must be given a clear notion of how you are structuring your essay. The structure of your essay, the organizational principle of it, can be shown by means of an outline, or skeleton sketch.TASK TWO (30分)“A man is known by the company he keeps.” First state what this means and then explain how far you think this statement is justified. You should provide convincing evidence to support your argument.Your response should be within 500 words. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.参考答案1.Fill in each of the blanks below with a word provided in the brackets. The wordsyou put in must be grammatically and semantically appropriate.

This section contains two tasks. Complete the tasks according to the instructions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.TASK ONESo, from above we know three elements of an acceptable essay. Unity, cohesion and organization are what writers should try to achieve in the process of writing. With practice, you may compose good essays and have dedicated readers.TASK TWOA man is known by the company he keepsThis sentence is first come from Aesop’s Fables with the meaning that a person is believed to be like the people with whom he or she spends time.And I personally can’t agree more with this epigram. In China there is also a sentence with the same meaning: one who nears vermilion becomes red and one who nears ink becomes black. Thousand of years ago our ancestors had found out this truth, and we descendents have no reason to disbelieve it. And I have more than enough evidence to prove the correctness of this sentence.In animal world, if a duckling happened to be raised by a hen, it would deem itself as a member of chicken family. And its behavior would be to a large extent like that of chicks.While in human society, the situation varies little. A man would definitely be influenced by people with whom he spends most time. For example, a new graduate who goes to his new job and hangs around with workers for several months would speak in the way that belongs to workers. Why? Because workers are everywhere. Their way of living constitute a new environment for that graduate. Under the influence of workers, he has to change. Otherwise, he would feel isolated.Good environment exerts good influences on people; bad environment exerts worse ones. Ask any criminal taken prisoner for theft and you would in surprise find out almost all of them were abetted to steal. As we know, no one was born a criminal. From this point we know how huge the influence of company is.。

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

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

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

Reading Comprehension (60%)In this sections, there are six reading passage followed by a total of thirty multiple-choice questions. Read the passages carefully and then mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text APopulation groups can be distinguished from one another biologically, but some of the old “racial traits “ do not stand up to scientific testing. Perhaps the most notorious of these is skin colder. There are too many non-biological factors that may account for the color of a person’s skin to make it standard of much use in distinguishing between populations. Other traits, like hair type, physical measurement, the form of the eyes, nose,etc. do have more validity as such standards. But here, too, external factors may modify basic biological tendencies. Scientists need something more precise uponwhich to base their conclusions. One answer to this need can be found in genetics. Anyone’s physical apperance is, after all, partly the result of genetic determiantion. What we see is called a phenotype, and the genetic constitution that lies behind it is called a genotype. Genetic bioligist seek to know the genotypes assosiated with racial differences, because the genes are the actual location of whatever diffrences we think we can see in phenotypes.1.Phenotype is another word for_____A.physical appearanceB.genetic constitutionC.racial traitsD.biological endencises2.It may be inferred from the passage that the author___A.judges people by their phenotypesB.believes skin color is a valid basis for determining raceC.believes basic biological tendencies don’t changeD.would not judge on the basis of phenotypes3.The shape of the eyes, nose, the type of hair, etc_____A.are not influenced by outside factorsB.are a precise means of differentiating between racesC.can be standards in distinguishing between populationsD.are determined completely by genetics4.The passage deals mainly with_______A.the difference between phenotypes and genotypeB.the drawbacks of phenotypesC.the advertages of phenotypesD.the measurements of phenotypes5.This passage would most likely be found in a book on ____A.psychologyB.medicineC.anthropologyD.criminologyText BNew York City has long held a special place in American life as a metropolis that perpetually renews itself with waves of foreign immigration. That has never been truer tan today, when the city is brimming with newly arrived residents. At the end of a decade in which one million newcomers swept into the city, 40 percent of New Yorkers are now foreign-born, the highest level since 1910. The city is enriched by the immigrants, but it also faces major challenges in helping to integrate them fully into the life and economy of the city.The earlier generations of immigrants who passed throuhg Ellis Island were largely from Europe. The fastest-growing groups these days are from South Asia, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and the nations born of the breakup of the Soviet Union. In Queens alone 167 nationalities and 116 languages coexist. That variety is one of New York’s most distinctive traits. While other cites tend to attract immigrants primarily from one or foreign regions, New York is a magnet for the whole world. The immigrants come because of the city’s reputation as a point of entry and the presence of friends and relatives.If it were not for immigration, the city’s population would be decreasing today. The newcomers culturally andeconomically revitalize abandoned neighborhoods, and their presence bolsters the economy and contributes to the tax base. But the surge has also brouhgt a slew of people are turned away from the too-few English classes sponsored by nonprofit organizations and community colleges. The inability to speak English keeps immigrants in very low-paying jobs. Many Mexcian and Dominican immigrants,for instance, earn less than $ 20,000 a year.Meanwhile, a shortage of affordably priced housing has led to overcrowding in poor areas. It is not uncommon in some Bronx neighborhoods for four or more people to live in a single room. Schools are also inadequate in these neigborhoods, with enrollments staining already sparse resources.Because newly arrived immigrants are not eligible to vote-and tumout is low among those who have becomme citizens many of thers problems do not receive the attention they deserve from politicl leaders. Naturalized citizens should be encouraged to register to vote, and local politicans need to make more effort to reach out to these traditinally ignored populations. In addition, immigrants are often unaware of the programs that do exit to help them. Public housing aid and child health insurance, for example, are not widely used by immigrants who are eligible for them. Many immigrants use emergency medical care but also rely on unncensed commutiy clinics, in part because they are unaware of the dangers associaled with such clinics.Poverty rates among immigrant populations are high, and if current problems are allowed to grow, they could lead to a permanent underclass of immigrants, with the city’s foreign-born population expected to grow even larger in the years ahead, the health of the city will depend in no small measure on how successfully it absorbs its newest residents.6.Different from other immigration cities, New York______A.has fewer nonprofit English classescks necessary medical careC.attracts people from all over the worldD.offers full citizenship on the arrival of immigrants7.What mihgt be the trouble of foreign-born newcomers to New York?A.EmploymentB.HousingC.FoodD.Future development8.The politicla leaders don't pay enough attention to the problems of immigrants, because____A.they will never have the insolubleB.their problems are insolubleC.most of them are not eligible to voteD.they can solve the problems by themselves9.Immigration is the cause of _____A.the decrease of New York’s populationB.the increase of New York’s pupulationC.the awkwardness of New York’s economyD.the unemployment of New York people10.The article aims to______A.describe the life in New Yorkment on the intemational port city—New YorkC.call for public attention to the suffering of foreign-born immigrants in New YorkD.find a good solution to the problems of New York foreign-born immigrantsText CDoes North Korea have the bomb, and if does, what should be done about it? Kim II Sung offered an essentially hollow capitulation last week, a promise to permit inspections of all but the key nuclear sites, which could settle the matter. So the world—and Bill Clinton---will be left to ponder those questions, perhaps indefinitely. What to do?First, assume North Korea already has two crude nuclear devives, as those who are paid to know such things assume.Second, understand the key player s’ views and motivations. South Korea, the presumptive first target of any attack from the North, is against backing Kim into a corner, a result it fears economic sanctions would accomplish. What Seoul wants least is reaponsibility for an economically devastated North, “We’re content with a divided peninsula,”says a South Korea diplomat familiar with the huge absorption costs borne by West Germany’s embrace of the East. Japan is happy with the status quo too. Tokyo’s joint security treaty with Washington allows its defense budget to remain low, and it abhors even thinking about developing a nuclear hedge against North Korea’s capabilities.Finally, despite its public huffing, the U.S. seems to be taking North Korea’s supposed nuclear capacity in stride. Whatever exists is “not militarily significant, “ says U.S. Pracific Commander Charles Larson. Yet, adds the admiral, it is obviously “ significant politically. “That is why no one tells the truth---neither the West nor the North Koreans. “As soon as the bomos is confirmed unamiguously, “ says a State Department official, “you have to do something about it. Better to let what is be and move to cap it at the present low-threat level.”“North Korea cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb,”Clinton said firmlly last November, no doubt recalling that the last time a U.S. Administration got Korea wrong, the body-bag business became a growth industry because Harry Truman took too long to give’em help. “Drawing a line in the sand early is what you should have done in the ‘50s, says a Japanese diplomat. “Today you should be softer. Kim’s bottom line is still his regime’s survival, but victory is defined defferently this time. Kim knows the way to win in the ‘90s is by joining the Asian economic boom rather than by armed conflict. Clinton has already made one mistake. He should have told Kim, ‘You say you don’t have the Bomb.O.K, we believe you.’ Then, quietly, be should have begun to deal. Now, when everything is public and so much pride is on the line on both sides, it’s harder.”11.What is South Korea’s attitude towards the North?A.It does not want a United Korea because of the fear of the huge absorption costs, according to a South KoreandiplomatB.South Korea wants to devastate North Korean evonomy.C.South Korea wants to see a cornered North Korea.D.South Korea will defend the North.12.According to the passage, how does Japan see the nuclear problem of North Korea?A.Japan is happy to see two nations struggle.B.Japan is content with the present state of things.C.Japan is eager for solution to the problem.D.Japan is taking some action against the North13.Finally, despite its public huffing, the U.S. seems to be taking North Korea’s supposed unclear capacity in stride.The underlined part means_______.A.be dealing with North Korea’s supposed nuclear capacity calmlyB.be dealing with North Korea’s supposed unclear capacity seriouslyC.be coping with North Korea’s suppoed nuclear capacity in a hurryD.be coping with North Korea’s suppoed nuclear capacity slowly.14.Which is true of the fifth paragraph?A.America is not afraid of North Korea’s having A-bombs.B.America makes light of North Korea.C.America only appears to be serious about North Korean nuclear weapons.D.America only appears not to take the matter seriously.15.When Clinton said that North Korea could not be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb, his tone is ____A.arbitraryB.softC.threateningD.condescendingText DOn a wall in Assistant District Attorney Cecil Emerson’s tiny government office hangs a drawing of Martin Luther King Jr. with his simple message:” I have a dream.”Across downtown, in the spacious 26th- floor suite of defense lawyer Doug Mulder, sits a glass bell jar as big as a pumpkin. Inside it, according to Mr. Mulder, is $ 1 million in shredded U.S. currency.Two lawyers. Two wildly different styles and reputations. And one famous preacher.On Monday, Mr. Emerson and Mr. Mulder will square off in possibly the most anticipated courtroom drama in Dallas histroy: the trial that will determine the guilt or innocence of Dr. Walker Railey.Almost six years after the once-renowned Methodist minister told police that he found his wife sprawled on the garage floor of their Lake Highlands home, Dr. Railey goes on trial in San Antonio on a charge of attempted murder.The former senior pastor of First United Methodist Church of Dallas is the only suspect police have acknowledged in the attack on Margaret “Peggy “Railey, who was nearly strangled April 21, 1987. She remains in a persistent vegetative state in a Tyler nursing home.“Railey did it,” says Mr. Emerson, a rumpled former Justice Department attorney who once served in the Nixon White House. “I think the jury will find Railey guilty.”Mr. Mulder, of course, disgrees. The dapper one-time protege of famed District Attorney Henry Wade is equally sure that Dr. Railey didn’t do it.“All his statements to me have been consistent with his innocense,” Mr.Mulder said.16.Cecil Emerson is ______A.Railey’s defense lawyer.B. a Justice Department attoney.C.Assistant District Attorney.D.Margaret’s defense lawyer.17.Doug Mlder has a _____ office.A.tinyB.spaciousernmentD.jar-like18.The trial of _____ will possibly be the most anticipated courtroom drama in Dallas history.A.EmersonB.RaileyC.MulderD.Margaret19.Railey is the only suspect of the attempted murder of _____A.Margraet “ Peggy” RaileyB.Henry WadeC. a senior pastorD. a former junior pastor20.Emerson says the jury will find Railey_____A.innocentB.guiltyC.did not attack his wifeD.didn’t strangle his wifeText EBy now, just about everybody realizes that Atlanta will host the centennial Olympics in 1996. What few people realize is that just 12 days after the Games close, the city will bring on another Olympic-type event with 4,000 elite intermational athletes. The 16-sport Paralympic Games will look roughly similar, only they will be for athletes with a physical disablility that precludes them from Olympic competition.The Paralympics are not new; they began in 1960 in Rme. They are clearly growing, thougth, and in Atlanta will likely attract one-third the number of athletes who will participate in the Olympics.Andy Fleming, president of the Atlanta Paralympic Organizing Committee, says the Paralympics offer “a major opportunity for corporatiaons to capitalize on both the business and social issues represented by the Paralympics”and to connect with disabled Americans and their families.The Paralympics recevie little television exposure, yet attendence figures hint at the potential for attracting viewers. Organizers in Atlanta hope soon to sign a natioal TV deal that could include significant weekend nerwork coverage. More than 1.5 million spectators showed up over the 12-day Paralympics in Barcelona, this shortly after the city lavished attention on the Olympics for 16 days.Brain Williams, a spokesman for National Handicapped Sports in Rockville, Md., says that disabled sports are much more popular with European audiences than American ones. “They’re probably 10 years ahead of us as far as public interest goes, “ he says.The performance difference between the athletes in the two competitions is sometimes not as great as people might imagine. For example, double-leg, below-the-knee amputee Tony Volpentest of Mountlake Terrance, Wash, ran the 100-meter dash in the Barcelona Paralympics in 11.63 seconds, faster than the winning time of 12 seconds flat in the first modern Olympics held in Athens in 1896. And in the single-amputee, above-the-elbow category Ajibola Adoeye of Nigeria smoked the field sans prosthesis with a time of 10.72 seconds.21.Twelve days after the Games close, the city will hold another kind of Olympic Games with______A.4,000 handicapped international athletesB.4,000 healthy elite international athletes.C.4,000 referees.D.4,000 amputees22.According to the passage, which of the following statements is UNTURE?A.The Paralympics were 12-days longB.The Paralympics were held in BarcelonaC.The Paralympics were attended by more than 1.5 bilion spectatorsD.The Paralympics were 16-days long23.The 1996 Olympics will________A.succeed the Paralympic GamesB.include Paralympic GamesC.exceed the 1992 OlympicsD.make the 100th anniversary of the modern games24.The article infers that the Paralympic Games______A.have the same number and type of events as the OlympicsB.will be seen by 1.5 million fansC.have been in existence for more than 30 yearsD.are popular media events25.This article tells us that _______A.American audiences are interested in disabled sports than European onesB.European audiences are more interested in disalbled sports than American onesC.Disabled sports are less popular in EuropeD.Disabled sprots are popular in AmericaText FDispite wars, famines, and epidemics, Earth’s population is booming ahead to new records—with no end in sight.Every day, the world adds enough people to populate a medium-sized city in the US. In one month, the number of new world citizens equals the population of New York City. Every year, there are 90 million more that mouths to feed, more than the total populattion of Germany.Sevearl factors are propelling this rapid growth, including an element that is often overlooked: the huge number of teenagers who are becoming mothers, particularly in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa.In four African nations --- Niger, Mali, Aierra Leone, and Ivory Coast ---1 out of every 5 adolescent females of childbearing age has a baby annually.Ths US Bureau of the Census says this high rate of motherhood among teens has helped to maintain the high pace of births across most of the African continent. By starting a family early, a typical woman in Somalia, for instance, has seven children during her lifetime. Equallly large families are the rule in Zambia, Zaire, Uganda, Mauritania, Mali, Malawi, and Ethiopia.The current record-holder for fertility is strife-torn Revanda, where a typical mother has at least eight or nien children.While population experts often focus on Africa’s problems, analysts note that teenalged mothers are also far more prevalent in the United States than in France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, or Britain.This issus—“babies having babies”—has recently gained prominence in the US. Teenaged motherhood in the US has fueled an expansion of the state-federal welfare system and brought cries for welfare reform from lawmakers.With its high rate of teen births, the US now ranks alongside Indonesia and parts of South America, and only modestly ahead of Mexico, India, and Pakistan.Overall, the fertility rate among Americans remains relatively low at 2.1 births per woman—about the replacement level. Althugh the US population is expected to climb steadily, from 260 million today to 323 million by 2020, most of that growth will come from immigration.The Census Bureau estimates that in Haiti, where thousands of citizens are trying to flee to the US because ofmilitary oppression and poverty, AIDS will cut the annual growth rate during the next 25 years from 2.1 percent to 1.3 percent.The decline in growth is even sharper in the Centrai Africna, Republic, where rates will dip from 2.4 percent to 0.7 percent. In Thailand, which alreadly had low birth rates, AIDS will drive population downward to 0.8 percent a year.In the 16 countries that are hit hardest, AIDS will lower populations by 121 million over expected projections by 2020. In Africa, the impact of AIDS is so great that trends toward longer life spans during the past 40 years are being reversed. Some nations will suffer declines in average life spans of 10 to 30 years compared with expected life spans without AIDS.In the US, where AIDS is also a substantial problem, the impact will be lower because the disease is mostly limited to homosexuals and during users, says Peter Way, a Census Bureau researcher. In many African nations, AIDS is prevalent among the heterosexual population, which sharply boosts infant mortality.A compelling chapter in the research deals with aging. Today the median age in developed countries is 35, and in developing nations is only 23. By 2020, the corresponding figures will be 42 and 28.Today there are fewer adults over 60 (525 million) than children under 5 (636 million). As the world population ages, by 2020 the number over 60 will be more that 1 billion, while those undre 5 will total 717 million.26.Sub-Saharan African countries_______A.will have the largest world population by 2020B.have the highest reproductive rate in the worldC.are only modestly affected by AIDSD.will have increasingly long life spans27.The passage states that teenaged births are_______A.rare in developed countriesB.most prevalent in Indonesiamon in RwandaD.solely responsible for population increase28.The population growth rate in the US is______A.higher than that in IndiaB.lower than that in MexicoC.higher than that in IndonesiaD.lower than that in South America29.From the factual data in the passage, we know that by the year 2020________A.the population growth rates in Thailand will have increasedB.there will be a disproportionate number of older people population growth rate will stabilizeD.the average age of Europeans will be 3530.The passage implies that by the year 2020______A.birth rates will be curbed in developing countricsB.there will no longer be a population problemC.there will be too many young childrenD.the distribution of the world’s population will have altered。

Most of Mark Twain’s books bubbled out 1 him like water out of a fountain. 2 of his gifts was the capacity to take a scene and fill it 3 every sparkling detail of nature and of human action, to put in every spoken word and accompanying gesture, and to slowly exaggerate the successive moments 4 the whole episode reached a climax of joyous, sidesplitting laughter. 5 he had trouble weaving his incidents into meaningful plot patterns. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain’s masterpiece, came into __6 slowly. 7 in 1876, immediately after he had dashed off The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he wrote 400 manuscript pages quickly and 8 stalled; in disgust he meditated 9 the work. __10 the winter of 1879-1880 he penned further sections; again the spark of enthusiasm died. __11 taking a journey down the Mississippi River in April, 1882, he quickly completed Lift on the Mississippi (1883) and with unabated zest 12 the novel.
