Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line trough the centre. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk(废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever - common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (灾难),yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments(困境) of other people's lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main target audience are middle - class Americans. Most of these people have the time. money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18 - to 21 - year - olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation. While the two shows are as different as night and day. both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be consideredpioneers in the talk show world.pared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are______.A) more family - oriented B) unusually popularC) more profound D) relatively formal22.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience______.A) remain fascinated by them B) are ready to face up to themC) remain indifferent to them D) are willing to get involved in them23.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot. B) Racist hatred.C) Family budget planning. D) Street violence.24.Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both________.A) ironical B) sensitiveC) instructive D) cynical25.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_______.A) have monopolized the talk show circuitB) exploit the weaknesses in human natureC) appear at different times of the dayD) are targeted at different audiencesQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on "persuasive salesmanship" to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money. Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye - on - the - consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的)or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction - the firm and the customer -and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid - 1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non - acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!26.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence,_______.A) the practice of turning goods into moneyB) making goods available for purchaseC) the customer - centred approachD) a form of persuasive salesmanship27.What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?A) The needs of the market. B) The efficiency of production.C) The satisfaction of the user. D) The preferences of the dealer. 28.According to the passage, “to move as much of these goods as possible” (Lines3 -4 ), Para. I) means “_______”.A) to sell the largest possible amount of goodsB) to transport goods as efficiently as possibleC) to dispose of these goods in large quantitiesD) to redesign these goods for large - scale production29.What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?A) Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.B) It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.C) Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.D) Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.30.In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on_______.A) its main characteristic B) its social impactC) its possible consequence D) its theoretical basisQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness (分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for not - for - profit organizations. Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied systematically as a function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in not - for - profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be achieved in the absence of conflict.Managers of for - profit organizations saw a different picture. They believed that conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor - quality decision making in their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for effective decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit - seeking organizations, decision - making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial indicators.In the not - for - profit organizations, decision - making effectiveness was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities and ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents executives perceived that conflictled to more considered and acceptable decisions.31.In the eyes of the author, conventional opinion on conflict is________.A) wrong B) oversimplifiedC) misleading D) unclear32.Professor Charles R. Schwenk's research shows________.A) the advantages and disadvantages of conflictB) the real value of conflictC) the difficulty in determining the optimal level of conflictD) the complexity of defining the roles of conflict33.We can learn from Schwenk's research that________.A) a person1s view of conflict is influenced by the purpose of his organizationB) conflict is necessary for managers of for - profit organizationsC) different people resolve conflicts in different waysD) it is impossible for people to avoid conflict34.The passage suggests that in for - profit organizations_______.A) there is no end of conflictB) expression of different opinions is encouragedC) decisions must be justifiableD) success lies in general agreement35.People working in a not - for - profit organization________.A) seem to be difficult to satisfyB) are free to express diverse opinionsC) are less effective in making decisionsD) find it easier to reach agreementQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Imagine eating everything delicious you want - with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldn't it?New “fake fat” products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients (营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So it's up to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that can't be digested at all.Normally, special chemicals in the intestines (肠)“grab” molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecule of substances called fatty acids.The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E, and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into the bloodstream.Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down.Manufacturers say it's that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc. Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming.36. We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that_______.A) contains plenty of nutrientsB) renders foods calorie - free while retaining their vitaminsC) makes foods easily digestibleD) makes foods fat - free while keeping them delicious37.The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be_______.A) commercially useless B) just as anticipatedC) somewhat controversial D) quite unexpected38.Olestra is different from ordinary fats in that_______.A) it passes through the intestines without being absorbedB) it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the bodyC) it helps reduce the incidence of heart diseaseD) it prevents excessive intake of vitamins39.What is a possible negative effect of olesira according to some critics?A) It may impair the digestive system.B) It may affect the overall fat intake.C) It may increase the risk of cancer.D) It may spoil the consumers' appetite.40.Why are nutritionists concerned about adding vitamins to olesira?A) It may lead to the over - consumption of vitamins.B) People may be induced to eat more than is necessary.C) The function of the intestines may be weakened.D) It may trigger a new wave of fake food production.PartⅢ Vocabulary （20 minutes）Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead." When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation – would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.21. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A) They lived out a natural life.B) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C) They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.D) They died due to lack of care by family members.22. The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because ________.A) he wanted to console the two familiesB) he was an official from the communityC) he had great sympathy for the deceasedD) he was priest of the local church23. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________A) they couldn't find a better way to express their griefB) they believe that they were responsibleC) they had neglected the natural course of eventsD) they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction24. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ________.A) everything in the world is predeterminedB) the world can be interpreted in different waysC) there's an explanation for everything in the worldD) we have to be sensible in order to understand the world25. People have been made to believe since infancy that ________.A) everybody is at their commandB) life and death is an unsolved mysteryC) every story should have a happy endingD) their wishes are the cause of everything that happensPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Frustrated with delays in Sacramento, Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region's growing pile of electronic trash. A San Jose councilwoman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills stalled in the Assembly~ They are among a growing number of California cities and counties that have expressed the same intention. Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardous substances, and are already banned from California landfills ( 垃圾填埋场 ). Legislation by Senator Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode ( 阴极 ) ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling. A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste. If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age. But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state retailers. "What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they're not supposed to throw computers in the trash," said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association. Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added. Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn't contracted to unscrupulous ( 毫⽆顾忌的 ) junk dealers who send the toxic parts overseas. "The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China," said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for an amendment to Sher's bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.26. What step were Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal.'?A) Exert pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.B) Lay down relevant local regulations themselves.C) Lobby the lawmakers of the California Assembly.D) Rally support to pass the stalled bills.27. The two bills stalled in the California Assembly both concern ________.A) regulations on dumping hazardous substances into landfillsB) the sale of used electronic devices to foreign countriesC) the funding of local initiatives to reuse electronic trashD) the reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state28. Consumers are not supposed to throw used computers in the trash because __.A) they contain large amounts of harmful substancesB) this is banned by the California governmentC) some parts may be recycled for use elsewhereD) unscrupulous dealers will retrieve them for profit29. High-tech groups believe that if an extra $30 is charged on every TV or computer purchased in California, consumers will _______.A) abandon online shoppingB) buy them from other statesC) strongly protest against such a chargeD) hesitate to upgrade their computers30. We learn from the passage that much of California's electronic waste has been _A) collected by non-profit agenciesB) dumped into local landfillsC) exported to foreign countriesD) recycled by computer manufacturersPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability hasinstead contributed to lackluster (平淡的) achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries. Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed." The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries. On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an i n c h d e e p , " S c h m i d t n o t e s .。

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Passage oneToo many vulnerable child-free adults are being ruthlessly(无情的)manipulated into parent-hood by their parents , who think that happiness among older people depends on having a grand-child to spoil. We need an organization to help beat down the persistent campaigns of grandchildless parents. It’s time to establish Planned Grandparenthood, which would have many global and local benefits.Part of its mission would be to promote the risks and realities associated with being a grandparent. The staff would include depressed grandparents who would explain how grandkids break lamps, bite, scream and kick. Others would detail how an hour of baby-sitting often turns into a crying marathon. More grandparents would testify that they had to pay for their grandchild’s expensive college education.Planned grandparenthood’s carefully written literature would detail all the joys of life grand-child-free a calm living room, extra money for luxuries during the golden years, etc. Potential grandparents would be reminded that, without grandchildren around, it’s possible to have a conversation with your kids, who----incidentally-----would have more time for their own parents .Meanwhile, most children are vulnerable to the enormous influence exerted by grandchildless parents aiming to persuade their kids to produce children . They will take a call from a persistent parent, even if they’re loaded with works. In addition, some parents make handsome money offers payable upon the grandchild’s birth. Sometimes these gifts not only cover expenses associated with the infant’s birth, but extras, too, like a vacation. In any case, cash gifts can weaken the resolve of even the noblest person.At Planned Grandparenthood, children targeted by their parents to reproduce could obtain non-biased information about the insanity of having their own kids. The catastrophic psychological and economic costs of childbearing would be emphasized. The symptoms of morning sickness would be listed and horrors of childbirth pictured.A monthly newsletter would contain stories about overwhelmed parents and offer guidance on how childless adults can respond to the different lobbying tactics that would-be grandparents employ.When I think about all the problems of our overpopulated world and look at our boy grabbing at the lamp by the sofa, I wish I could have turned to Planned Grandparenthood when my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me.If I could have, I might not be in this parenthood predicament( 窘境) . But here’s the crazy irony, I don’t want my child-free life back . Dylan’s too much fun.请根据上面给出的内容，来回答下面的单项选择题（下列每小题备选答案中，只有一个符合题意的正确答案。

[page]part of its mission would be to promote the risks and realities associated with being a grandparent. the staff would includedepressed grandparents who would explain how grandkids break lamps, bite, scream and kick. others would detail how an hour of baby-sitting often turns into a crying marathon. more grandparents would testify that they had to pay for their grandchild’s expensive college education.planned grandparenthood’s carefully written literature would detail all the joys of life grand-child-free a calm living room, extra money for luxuries during the golden years, etc. potential grandparents would be reminded that, without grandchildren around, it’s possible to have a conversation with your kids, who----incidentally-----would have more time for their own parents .meanwhile, most children are vulnerable to the enormous influence exerted by grandchildless parents aiming to persuade their kids to produce children . they will take a call from a persistent parent, even if they’re loaded with works. in addition, some parents make handsome money offers payable upon the grandchild’s birth. sometimes these gifts not only cover expenses associated with the infant’s birth, but extras, too, like a vacation. in any case, cash gifts can weaken the resolve of even the noblest person.at planned grandparenthood, children targeted by their parents to reproduce could obtain non-biased information about the insanity of having their own kids. the catastrophic psychological and economic costs of childbearing would be emphasized. the symptoms of morning sickness would be listed and horrors of childbirth pictured. a monthly newsletter would contain stories about overwhelmed parents and offer guidance on how childless adults can respond to the different lobbying tactics that would-be grandparents employ.when i think about all the problems of our overpopulated world and look at our boy grabbing at the lamp by the sofa, i wish i could have turned to planned grandparenthood when my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me.if i could have, i might not be in this parenthood predicament( 窘境) . but here’s the crazy irony, i don’t want my child-free life back . dylan’s too much fun.21. what’s the purpose of the proposed organization planned grandparenthood?a) to encourage childless couples to have children.b) to provide facilities and services for grandchildless parents.c) to offer counseling to people on how to raise grandchildren.d) to discourage people from insisting on having grandchildren.22. planned grandparenthood would include depressed grandparents on its staff in order to____.a) show them the joys of life grandparents may have in raising grandchildrenb) draw attention to the troubles and difficulties grandchildren may causec) share their experience in raising grandchildren in a more scientific wayd) help raise funds to cover the high expense of education for grandchildren23. according to the passage, some couples may eventually choose to have children because_____.a) they find it hard to resist the carrot-and-stick approach of their parentsb) they have learn from other parents about the joys ofhaving childrenc) they feel more and more lonely ad they grow olderd) they have found it irrational to remain childless24.by saying “… my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me”(line 2-3,para. 6), the author means that _________.a) her parents kept pressuring her to have a childb) her parents liked to have a grandchild in their armsc) her parents asked her to save for the expenses of raising a childd) her parents kept blaming her for her child’s bad behavior25.what does the author really of the idea of having children?a) it does more harm than good.b) it contributes to overpopulation.c) it is troublesome but rewarding.d) it is a psychological catastrophepassage twoquestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.ask most people how they define the american dream and chances are they’ll say, “success.” the dream of individual opportunity has been home in american since europeans di scovered a “new world” in the western hemisphere. early immigrants like hector st. jean de crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. his glowing descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many european readers: in letters from an american farmer (1782) he wrote. “we are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (无拘无束的) and unrestrained, because each person works for himself … we have no princes, forwhom we toil (干苦力活)，starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world.” the promise of a land where “the rewards of a man’s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor” drew poor immigrants from europe and fueled national expansion into the western territories. [page] our national mythology (神化) is full of illustration the american success story. there’s benjamin franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. in the nineteenth century, horatio alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became american’s best-selling author with rags-to-riches tales. the notion of success haunts us: we spend million every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to “make a fortune in real estate with no money down,” and “dressing for success.” the myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships: today it’s as important to b e “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business.but dreams easily turn into nightmares. every american who hopes to “make it” also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success inevitably implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in status symbols: we try to live in the “right” neighborhoods, wear the “right” clothes, eat the “right” foods. these symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all, yet strive as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens.26. what is the essence of the american dream according to crevecoeur?a) people are free to develop their power of imagination.b) people who are honest and work hard can succeed.c) people are free from exploitation and oppression.d) people can fully enjoy individual freedom.27.by saying “the rewards of a man’s industry follow with equal ste ps the progress of his labor” (line 10, para. 1), the author means __________ .a) the more diligent one is, the bigger his returnsb) laborious work ensures the growth of an industryc) a man’s business should be developed step by stepd) a company’s success depends on its employees’ hard work28. the characters described in horatio alger’s novels are people who _______.a) succeed in real estate investmentb) earned enormous fortunes by chancesc) became wealthy after starting life very poord) became famous despite their modest origins29. it can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph that _________.a) business success often contributes to a successful marriageb) americans wish to succeed in every aspect of lifec) good personal relationships lead to business successd) successful business people provide good care for their children30. what is the paradox of american culture according to the author?a) the american road to success is full of nightmares.b) status symbols are not a real indicator of a person’swealth.c) the american dream is nothing but an empty dream.d) what americans strive after often contradicts their beliefs.passage threequestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.public distrust of scientists stems in part from the blurring of boundaries between science and technology, between discovery and manufacture. most government, perhaps all governments, justify public expenditure on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise ha brought in the past and will bring in the future. politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines ‘our scientists’ have invented, the new drugs to relieve old ailments (病痛), and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which previously intractable (难治疗的) conditions may now be treated and lives saved. at the same time, the politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to ‘economics needs’, that they award a higher priority to research proposals that are ‘near the market’ and can be translated into the greatest return on investment in the shortest time. dependent, as they are, on politicians for much of their funding, scientists have little choice but to comply. like the rest of us, they are members of a society that rates the creation of wealth as the greatest possible good. many have reservations, but keep them to themselves in what they perceive as a climate hostile to the pursuit of understanding for its own sake and the idea of an inquiring, creative spirit. [page]in such circumstances no one should be too hard on people who are suspicious of conflicts of interest. when we learn that the distinguished professor assuring us of the safety of a particular product holds a consultancy with the company making it, wecannot be blamed for wondering whether his fee might conceivably cloud his professional judgment. even if the professor holds no consultancy with any firm, some people many still distrust him because of his association with those who do, or at least wonder about the source of some his research funding.this attitude can have damaging effects. it questions the integrity of individuals working in a profession that prizes intellectual honesty as the supreme virtue, and plays into the hands of those who would like to discredit scientists by representing then a venal (可以收买的). this makes it easier to dismiss all scientific pronouncements, but especially those made by the scientists who present themselves as ‘experts’. the scientist most likely to understand the safety of a nuclear reactor, for example, is a nuclear engineer declares that a reactor is unsafe, we believe him, because clearly it is not to his advantage to lie about it. if he tells us it is safe, on the other hand, we distrust him, because he may well be protecting the employer who pays his salary.31. what is the chief concern of most governments when it comes to scientific research?a) support from the votes.b) the reduction of public expenditure.c) quick economics returns.d) the budget for a research project.32. scientist have to adapt their research to ‘economic needs’ in order to _________ .a) impress the public with their achievementsb) pursue knowledge for knowledge’s sakec) obtain funding from the governmentd) translate knowledge into wealth33. why won’t scientists complain about the government’s policy concerning scientific research?a) they think they work in an environment hostile to the free pursuit of knowledge.b) they are accustomed to keeping their opinions to themselves.c) they know it takes patience to win support from the public.d) they think compliance with government policy is in the interests of the public.34. according to the author, people are suspicious of the professional judgment of scientists because ___________ .a) their pronouncements often turn out to be wrongb) sometimes they hide the source of their research fundingc) some of them do not give priority to intellectual honestyd) they could be influenced by their association with the project concerned35. why does the author say that public distrust of scientists can have damaging effects?a) it makes things difficult for scientists seeking research funds.b) people would not believe scientists even when they tell the truth.c) it may dampen the enthusiasm of scientists for independent research.d) scientists themselves may doubt the value of their research findings.passage fourquestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.in many ways, today’s business environment has changed qualitatively since the late 1980s. the end of the cold war radicallyaltered the very nature of the world’s politics and economics. in just a few short years, globalization has started a variety of trends with profound consequences: the opening of markets, true global competition, widespread deregulation (解除政府对……的控制) of industry, and an abundance of accessible capital. we have experienced both the benefits and risks of a truly global economy, with both wall street and main street (平民百姓) feeling the pains of economic disorder half a world away.at the same time, we have fully entered the information age, starting breakthroughs in information technology have irreversibly altered the ability to conduct business unconstrained by the traditional limitations of time or space. today, it’s almost impossible to imagine a world without intranets, e-mail, and portable computers. with stunning speed, the internet is profoundly changing the way we work, shop, do business, and communicate. [page]as a consequence, we have truly entered the post-industrial economy. we are rapidly shifting from an economy based on manufacturing and commodities to one that places the greatest value on information, services, support, and distribution. that shift, in turn, place an unprecedented premium on “knowledge workers,” a new class of wealthy, educated, and mobile people who view themselves as free agents in a seller’s market.beyond the realm of information technology, the accelerated pace of technological change in virtually every industry has created entirely new business, wiped out others, and produced a pervasive( 广泛的) demand for continuous innovation. new product, process ,and distribution technologies provide powerful levers for creating competitive value. more companies are learning the importance of destructive technologies-----innovations that hold the potential to make a product line, or even an entire business segment, virtually outdated.another major trend has been the fragmentation of consumer and business markets. there’s a growing appreciation that superficially similar groups of customers may have very different preferences in terms of what they want to buy and how they want to buy it. now, new technology makes it easier, faster ,and cheaper to identify and serve targeted micro-markets in ways that were physically impossible or prohibitively expensive in the past. moreover, the trend feeds on itself, a business’s ability to serve sub-markets fuels customers’ app etites for more and more specialized offerings.36. according to the first paragraph, the chances in the business environment in the past decades can be attributed to __________.a) technological advancesb) worldwide economic disorderc) the fierce competition in industryd) the globalization of economy37. what idea does the author want to convey in the second paragraph ?a) the rapid development of information technology has taken businessmen by surpriseb) information technology has removed the restrictions of time and space in business transactionsc) the internet, intranets, e-mail, and portable computers have penetrated every corner of the world.d) the way we do business today has brought about startling breakthroughs in information technology.38. if a business wants to thrive in the post-industrialeconomy,__________a) it has to invest more capital in the training of free agents to operate in a seller’s marketb) it should try its best to satisfy the increasing demands of mobile knowledgeable peoplec) it should not overlook the importance of information, services, support, and distributiond) it has to provide each of its employees with the latest information about the changing market39. in the author’s view, destructive technologies are innovations which _________a) can eliminate an entire business segmentb) demand a radical change in providing servicesc) may destroy the potential of a company to make any profitd) call for continuous improvement in ways of doing business40. with the fragmentation of consumer and business markets ______________a) an increasing number of companies have disintegratedb) manufacturers must focus on one special product to remain competitive in the marketc) it is physically impossible and prohibitively expensive to do business in the old wayd) businesses have to meet individual customers’ specific needs in order to succeed .part iii vocabulary (20minutes)41. it seems somewhat ___________ to expect anyone to drive3 hours just for a 20-minute meeting.a) eccentric b) impossible c) absurd d) unique42. this

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead."When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, theybelieve that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation –would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.21.

People have been made to believe since infancy that ________.A) everybody is at their commandB) life and death is an unsolved mysteryC) every story should have a happy endingD) their wishes are the cause of everything that happensPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Frustrated with delays in Sacramento, Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region's growing pile of electronic trash.A San Jose councilwoman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills stalled in the Assembly~ They are among a growing number of California cities and counties that have expressed the same intention.Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardous substances, and are already banned from California landfills (垃圾填埋场).Legislation by Senator Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode (阴极) ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste.If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state retailers."What really needs to occur is consumer education. Mostconsumers are unaware they're not supposed to throw computers in the trash," said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added.Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn't contracted to unscrupulous ( 毫无顾忌的) junk dealers who send the toxic parts overseas."The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China," said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for an amendment to Sher's bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.26. What step were Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal.'?A) Exert pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.B) Lay down relevant local regulations themselves.C) Lobby the lawmakers of the California Assembly.D) Rally support to pass the stalled bills.27. The two bills stalled in the California Assembly both concern ________.A) regulations on dumping hazardous substances into landfillsB) the sale of used electronic devices to foreign countriesC) the funding of local initiatives to reuse electronic trashD) the reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state28. Consumers are not supposed to throw used computers in the trash because __.A) they contain large amounts of harmful substancesB) this is banned by the California governmentC) some parts may be recycled for use elsewhereD) unscrupulous dealers will retrieve them for profit29. High-tech groups believe that if an extra $30 ischarged on every TV or computer purchased in California, consumers will _______.A) abandon online shoppingB) buy them from other statesC) strongly protest against such a chargeD) hesitate to upgrade their computers30. We learn from the passage that much of California's electronic waste has been _A) collected by non-profit agenciesB) dumped into local landfillsC) exported to foreign countriesD) recycled by computer manufacturersPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science andmath have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster (平淡的) achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed."The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an inch deep," Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems "share our pattern of splintered (支离破碎的) visions" but which are not economic leaders.The new report "couldn't come at a better time," says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. "The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision," including the call "to do less, but in greater depth."Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards "face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble ( 嘈杂声)."31. According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America isA) focused on tapping students' potentialB) characterized by its diversityC) losing its vitality graduallyD) going downhill in recent years32. The fundamental flaw of American school education is that ________.A) it lacks a coordinated national programB) it sets a very low academic standard for studentsC) it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersD) it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjects33. By saying that the U.S. educational environment is "a mile wide and an inch deep" (Line 2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice ________.A) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityB) offers an environment for comprehensive educationC) encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD) scratches the surface of a wide range of topics34. The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they willA) provide depth to school science educationB) solve most of the problems in school teachingC) be able to meet the demands of the communityD) quickly dominate U.S. educational practice35. Putting the new science and math standards into practice will prove difficult because ________.A) there is always controversy in educational circlesB) not enough educators have realized the necessity for doing soC) school districts are responsible for making their own decisionsD) many schoolteachers challenge the acceptability of these standards.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage."I've never met a human worth cloning," says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. "It's a stupid endeavor." That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring - or perhaps not for another 5 years. It seems the reproductive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog's eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate (代孕的) mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses (胎) may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues,but not with humans. "Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous," he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. "A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right," says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy's mysterious billionaire owner; he's put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M's research.Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy's fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and supersmart. Missy's master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are "both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy."Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring,should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ "Why would you ever want to clone humans," Westhusin asks, "when we're not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?"36. By "stupid endeavor" (Line 2, Para. 1), Westhusin means to say that ________.A) animal cloning is not worth the effort at allB) animal cloning is absolutely impracticalC) human cloning should be done selectivelyD) human cloning is a foolish undertaking37. What does the first paragraph tell us about Westhusin's dog cloning project?A) Its success is already in sight.B) Its outcome remains uncertain.C) It is doomed to utter failure.D) It is progressing smoothly.38. By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.A) study the possibility of cloning humansB) search for ways to modify .its temperamentC) examine the reproductive system of the dog speciesD) find out the differences between Missy and its clones39.
