But do the British actually work too long? And if we do, is it doing us, or society at large, any harm?Over the past 150 years working hours across the developed world have beenfalling. In the mid-nineteenth century men in Britain, in paid employment, workedfor at least 55 hours per week. Hours worked then began a steady drop -- the riseof trade unionism is one explanation, but then, after the First World War theyplateaued. From 1951 onwards they dropped again but this fall was brought to a suddenhalt in 1981 with the onset of the deregulatory economic policies of the Thatcheryears. Working hours reached a high in 1997 when the UK average number of hoursworked hit 45.8 per week, falling to 44.3 hours per week in 2004.The main reason for this recent decline has been the impact of EU's WorkingTime Directive which stipulated that no one could work more than 48 hours in a week,unless special exemption had been jointly applied for by both employers andemployees. Nonetheless, in European terms, we are still doing badly in terms ofhours worked -- British workers are at the top, or bottom, of the hours charts,depending on your point of view. In 2004 British workers put in almost two and ahalf hours more per week than the average European worker -- although that was animprovement on 2001 when the gap was three and a quarter hours.In terms of actual hours worked, for those fortunate enough to be living andworking in the Netherlands the average was just 38.8 hours a week, whilst for thoseunfortunate enough to be working in Britain, the average was 43.5 hours. Workersin our closest European competitors, France and Germany, worked 38.9 hours and 39.6hours per week respectively. And yet, according to research both French and Germanworkers are around 20% more productive than their British counterparts. And we doequally badly when it comes to holidays. The European average for annual paid leaveis 26.5 days per year -- again the UK is near the bottom of the league with an averageof 24.5 days of annual leave.However, these raw figures don't tell the whole story. During the 1980s and1990s it was fashionable to predict that the "revolution in work" had begun.Business gurus were forecasting that the then current work norm, in which themajority of the workforce were in full-time employment at places of work away fromhome would give way to the majority having portfolios of part-time, temporary jobs,with many working either from home or from mobile office environments. This wouldresult in a blurring between work and home, leisure, and employment -- thus concernsabout hours worked would become little more than of historical interest.This view is backed up by Michael Moynagh in Working in the Twenty-First Century.After examining trends in working time over the past twenty years, and casting theirfindings forward, they conclude: "On balance it is likely that contracted workingtime will continue to drop, if slowly and intermittently".According to the research project "The Future of Work" led by Professor Peter Nolan of Leeds University, the notion that the nature of work is changing radically is systematically demolished.Based on a nationwide survey of employees Professor Nolan reports that the project found that, contrary to this conventional wisdom, the "end of work" scenario had not come to pass. In fact the 1990s had seen a growth, not a contraction, in the proportion of employees in full-time permanent jobs. In 2000, 92% of workers were in permanent work compared with 88% eight years earlier. And in 2000 only 5.5% said they were working on a temporary contract, compared with 7.2% in 1992. "Such startling figures do not suggest Britain is rapidly developing a more flexible labour market when measured by the extent of employment stability. Indeed, the permanent job remains very much the overwhelming norm and this is true across every occupational category."Nor was the notion of "going to work" in decline. The researchers found that most people still leave their homes for paid employment, only 3% of employees said they worked partly at home and a further 1.1% said they worked solely or mainly at home.Thus, arguments about working time are still very central to debates about the nature of the work experience. The Future of Work survey found that dissatisfaction with the hours that people were having to work had increased dramatically. In 1992 35% of men were satisfied with their hours, by 2000 this had fallen to 20%; the decline among women employees was even sharper, down from 51% in 1992 to 29% in 2000. And this decline was, in terms of social class, across the board.Professor Jonathan Gershuny is an expert on the work-life balance. He paid particular attention, not just to paid work but to two related issues -- women's unpaid work and leisure time. Gershuny notes how leisure time itself has become increasingly congested as people have less and less time to "consume" more and more leisure. He quotes from American sociologist Steffan Linder, who noted that as part and parcel of their "success" the harried executive might buy themselves a yacht; and yet the time they make available to enjoy their leisure activities diminishes the more successful they become. Gershuny paints a picture of the harried executive having to plan their leisure time almost as rigorously as they plan their working day.He also casts his eye over the unpaid work that is mainly done by women in the home. He notes how, despite the spread of "labour-saving" devices, the time women spend on domestic chores had not reduced, if anything it had gone up. This is because, as domestic work has become easier so "standards" have risen -- rooms that wereswept once a week are now swept once a day and meals that were cooked simply to be nourishing now had to be "interesting" as well. Gershuny reports that women on average spend 45-hours a week on unpaid domestic work; but where they had a full-time job this time went down to 22 hours a week. For men, his research showed that irrespective of whether or not they were in full-time work they spent an underwhelming 30 minutes a day on domestic chores. No doubt many of those same men would privately applaud the sentiments expressed in a Japanese research report that concluded: "Housewives by nature enjoy doing housework. For housewives, it is difficult to distinguish between housework and leisure." Then again, perhaps not, as times have moved on somewhat.Questions 1-4Choose the best answer.1.Which statement best describes the change of British working hours?A. Over the past 150 years, British working hours fluctuated by as long as 10hours.B.British workers worked 3 hours longer every week than their Europeancounterparts in 2001.C.British workers worked longer than French and German workers with higherproductivity.D. British workers have the least annual paid leave.2.What does the sentence "thus concerns about hours worked would become little morethan of historical interest" imply?A.Since there is no wild change in British working hours, the forecasting ofwork norm lost meaning.B.There is no point in concerning about working hours since it is hard to separateemployment and leisure.C.The notion that the nature of work has changed is not right.D.The end of work scenario makes research impossible.3.What can we see from the research findings of Michael Moynagh and Peter Nolan?A.They agreed that in the future, contracted working time will decrease.B.They agreed that more British would like to work from mobile officeenvironments.C.They have different conclusions and forecasts about British working time.D.Both are against conventional wisdom that the end of work has come.4.Professor Jonathan Gershuny notes that ______.A.men take over most housework when women are in full-time workB.people work harder in free time to consume what they produce in work timeC.if you are top managers, you have more leisure time availableD.women spend less time on domestic chores latelyQuestions 5-9Answer the following questions briefly by using NO MORE THAN TEN words.5.What is the result of working from home or mobile office environments?6.What are the percentages of people working partly at home and solely at homerespectively?7.What is the dominant working norm?8.Which phrase expresses the meaning that both managers and manual workers complainabout the long hours culture?9.What is one of the two issues that Professor Jonathan Gershuny paid specialattention to.Questions 10-12Complete the following sentences with NO MORE THAN THREE words.10.According to the Future of Work survey, women are______________________dissatisfied with their working hours.11.The more successful people are, the _____________________ time they have toenjoy themselves.12.The appearance of _____________________ actually increased time of doingdomestic chores.PASSAGE TWOAlready penitent for his angry action, but too stubborn to make amends, Mason toiled on at the head of the cavalcade, little dreaming that danger hovered in the air. The timber clustered thick in the sheltered bottom, and through this they threaded their way. Fifty feet or more from the trail towered a lofty pine. For generations it had stood there, and for generations destiny had had this one end in view--perhaps the same had been decreed of Mason.He stooped to fasten the loosened thong of his moccasin. The sleds came to ahalt, and the dogs lay down in the snow without a whimper. The stillness was weird;not a breath rustled the frost-encrusted forest; the cold and silence of outer spacehad chilled the heart and smote the trembling lips of nature. A sigh pulsed throughthe air--they did not seem to actually hear it, but rather felt it, like thepremonition of movement in a motionless void. Then the great tree, burdened withits weight of years and snow, played its last part in the tragedy of life. He heardthe warning crash and attempted to spring up but, almost erect, caught the blowsquarely on the shoulder.The sudden danger, the quick death--how often had Malemute Kid faced it! The pine needles were still quivering as he gave his commands and sprang into action. Nor did the Indian girl faint or raise her voice in idle wailing, as might many of her white sisters. At his order, she threw her weight on the end of a quickly extemporized handspike, easing the pressure and listening to her husband's groans, while Malemute Kid attacked the tree with his ax. The steel rang merrily as it bit into the frozen trunk, each stroke being accompanied by a forced, audible respiration, the 'Huh!' 'Huh!' of the woodsman. At last the Kid laid the pitiablething that was once a man in the snow. But worse than his comrade's pain was the dumb anguish in the woman's face,the blended look of hopeful,hopeless query. Little was said; those of the Northland are early taught the futility of words and the inestimable value of deeds. With the temperature at sixty-five below zero,a man cannot lie many minutes in the snow and live. So the sled lashings were cut,and the sufferer,rolled in furs,laid on a couch of boughs. Before him roared a fire ,built of the very wood which wrought the mishap. Behind and partially over him was stretched the primitive fly -- a piece of canvas , which caught the radiating heat and threw it back and down upon him -- a trick which men may know who study physics at the fount.And men who have shared their bed with death know when the call is sounded. Mason was terribly crushed. The most cursory examination revealed it. His right arm,leg,and back were broken;his limbs were paralyzed from the hips;and the likelihood of internal injuries was large. An occasional moan was his only sign of life.No hope ; nothing to be done. The pitiless night crept slowly by -- Ruth's portion ,the despairing stoicism of her race,and Malemute Kid adding new lines to his face of bronze. In fact ,Mason suffered least of all,for he spent his time in eastern Tennessee,in the Great Smoky Mountains,living over the scenes of his childhood. And most pathetic was the melody of his long-forgotten Southern vernacular,as he raved of swimming holes and coon-hunts and watermelon raids. It was as Greek to Ruth,but the Kid understood and felt -- felt as only one can feel who has been shut out for years from all that civilization means.Morning brought consciousness to the stricken man , and Malemute Kid bent closer to catch his whispers.“You remember when we foregathered on the Tanana , four years come next ice run?I didn't care so much for her then. It was more like she was pretty,and there wasa smack of excitement about it,I think. But d'ye know,I've come to think a heap of her. She's been a good wife to me,always at my shoulder in the pinch. And when it comes to trading,you know there isn't her equal. D'ye recollect the time she shot the Moosehorn Rapids to pull you and me off that rock,the bullets whipping the water like hailstones -- and the time of the famine at Nuklukyeto -- or when she raced the ice-run to bring the news?Yes,she's been a good wife to me,better'n that other one. Didn't know I'd been there?Never told you,eh? Well,I tried it once,down in the States. That's why I'm here. Been raised together,too. I came away to give her a chance for divorce. She got it.”“But that's got nothing to do with Ruth. I had thought of cleaning up and pulling for the Outside next year -- her and I -- but it's too late. Don't send her back to her people,Kid. It's beastly hard for a woman to go back. Think of it! -- nearly four years on our bacon and beans and flour and dried fruit,and then to go back to her fish and caribou. It's not good for her to have tried our ways,to come to know they're better'n her people's,and then return to them. Take care of her,Kid -- why don't you -- but no,you always fought shy of them -- and you never told me why you came to this country. Be kind to her,and send her back to the Statesas soon as you can. But fix it so she can come back -- liable to get homesick,you know.”“And the youngster -- it's drawn us closer,Kid. I only hope it is a boy. Think of it -- flesh of my flesh,Kid. He mustn't stop in this country. And if it's a girl,why,she can't. Sell my furs;they'll fetch at least five thousand,and I've got as much more with the company. And handle my interests with yours. I think that bench claim will show up. See that he gets a good schooling;and Kid,above all,don't let him come back. This country was not made for white men.”“I'm a gone man,Kid. Three or four sleeps at the best. You've got to go on. You must go on! Remember,it's my wife,it's my boy -- O God! I hope it's a boy! You can't stay by me -- and I charge you,a dying man,to pull on.”Questions 13-15Choose the best answer.13.What is NOT true about Mason’s accident?A.He was struck by an old pine on the shoulder and crushed.B.It was possible his organs had been injured in addition to broken bones.C.He suffered a great deal as he lay waiting for death.D.He was laid on some branches by a great fire in an attempt to recover.14.What do we know about Mason’s wife according to the text?A.She is white like him.B.She is not Mason’s only spouse in life.C.She has been to his hometown.D.She understands Greek.15.What is implied about the character’s lives from the passage?A.Sleds were the main method of transportation.B.The major source of income was fur trading.C.They had to be calm and resourceful in the wild.D.The far north is not suitable for white people.Questions 16-17Answer the following questions briefly by using NO MORE THAN TEN words.16.Why does Mason think Ruth is a good wife?What was “fly” in paragraph 3 used for?PASSAGE THREENature versus cultureTo what extent have indigenous peoples suffered at the hands ofconservation?When US primatologist Dian Fossey arrived in Rwanda to study the mountain gorillas of the Parcs des Volcans in September 1967, her immediate concern was that their habitat was being eroded by human activity. As the government and wildlife authorities were turning a blind eye, she took the law into her own hands and organised patrols to drive out those she considered to be intruders in the park.Many of those targeted were local farmers who were grazing cattle and growing crops, collecting water, wood and bamboo or hunting small mammals. But the VirungaMountains were also home to the Batwa, pygmy hunter- gatherers who, for thousands of years, had lived on their forested slopes. Fossey took an instant dislike to the Batwa and adopted-vigilante tactics to ensure they stayed away from "her" gorillas.While Fossey's actions represented a huge inconvenience for the Bahutu and Batutsi farmers, for the Batwa they proved devastating. The forest was integral to their lifestyle: it provided them with food and medicine and was the centre of their cultural activities. Without it, they became destitute. They had neither the skills nor the resources to become farmers and were given no compensation or alternative. Considered second-class citizens -- unclean, stupid, untrustworthy -- by their neighbours, they were forced to live in hovels on the fringes of villages, scratching around in wasteland to eke out a living. By the early 1990s, begging was the main source of income for 70 per cent of Rwandan Batwa.The experience of the Batwa is one shared by millions of indigenous peoples around the world who have suffered at the hands of conservation. "Historically the impact of protected areas has been very negative because the rights of the local communities of indigenous peoples haven't been taken into account," says Marcus Colchester, director of the Forest Peoples' Programme, a UK organisation that promotes the interests of indigenous peoples around the world. "The establishment of parks and reserves has often required their forced removal and placed severe limits on their rights of access and use of natural resources. Hence, there has been a lot of conflict, impoverishment, suffering and cultural loss."The traditional fence-and-guards approach to conservation grew out of the US national parks movement of the late 19th century, which began preserving areas of 'natural' wilderness for recreational purposes. Ecologists subsequently decided that nature should be preserved in a pristine form, uncontaminated by human activity.Over the past 40 years, conservation of biodiversity has become an increasingly high-profile topic and there has been a corresponding rise in the number of protected areas. According to the World Conservation Union (IUCN) there were just over 1,000 in 1962; today there are more than 102,000, covering a terrestrial area of 17.1 million square kilometres, 11.5 per cent of the world's land.To date, there hasn't been any conclusive research into the extent to which establishing these areas affects indigenous peoples. But most protected areas were inhabited at one time. In 2000, WWF estimated that 86 per cent of South America's national parks were inhabited by people, most of them indigenous, and 90 per cent of protected areas in the Americas as a whole hosted indigenous peoples.

A good conversation is one of the great joys of being human, but it is not clear just how far back in the hominid lineage the ability to use language stretches. The question of when grunts and yelps turned into words and phrases is a tricky one. One way of trying to answer it is to look in the fossil record for evidence about what modern humanity's closest relatives could do.Svante Pääbo, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, and his colleagues have done just that. DrPääbo is an expert in extracting and interpreting the DNA of fossils. As he reports in the latest issue of Current Biology, he and his team have worked their magic on a gene called FOXP2 found in Neanderthal remains from northern Spain. The reason for picking this particular gene is that it is the only one known so far to have a directconnection with speech. In 1990, a family with an inherited speech disorder known as verbal dyspraxia drew the attention of genetics researchers. Those researchers identified a mutation in FOXP2 as the cause of the dyspraxia.Since then FOXP2 has been the subject of intensive study. It has been linked to the production of birdsong and the ultrasonic musings of mice. It is a conservative type, not changing much from species to species. But it has undergone two changes since humans split from chimpanzees 6m years ago, and some researchers believe these changes played a crucial role in the development of speech and language.If these changes **mon to modern humans and Neanderthals, they must predate the separation of the line leading to Homo sapiens from the one leading to Homo neander thalensis. Dr Pääbo's research suggests precisely that: the FOXP2 genes from modern humans and Neanderthals are essentially the same. To the extent that the gene enables language, it enables it in both species.There has been much speculation about Neanderthals' ability to speak. They were endowed with a hyoid bone, which anchors the tongue and allows a wide variety of movements of the larynx. Neanderthal skulls also show evidence of a large hypoglossal canal. This is the route taken by the nerves that supply the tongue. As such, it is arequisite for the **plex movements of speech. Moreover, the inner-ear structure of Homo heidelbergensis, an ancestor of Neanderthals, shows that this species was highly sensitive to the frequencies of sound that are associated with speech.That Neanderthals also shared with moderns the single known **ponent of speech is another clue that they possessed the necessary apparatus for having a good natter. But suggestive as that is, the question remains open. FOXP2 is almost certa inly not “the language gene”. Without doubt, it is involved in the control and regulation of the motions of speech, but whether it plays a role in the cognitive processes that must precede talking remains unclear—jokes about engaging brain before putting mouth in gear notwithstanding. The idea that the forebears of modern humans could talk would scupper the notion that language was the force that created modern human culture—otherwise, why would they not have built civilizations? But it would make that chat with a Neanderthal much more interesting.SSS_SINGLE_SELWhich one of the following statements is NOT true of Neanderthal men?Athey are derived from a branch of early Neanderthals called Homo heidelbergensis.Bthey are existent descendant of Homo neanderthalensis.Cthey are Homo sapiens's closest relatives.Dthey are officially named Homo neanderthalensis in the academiccircleSSS_SINGLE_SELSvante Pääbo and his team carried out a study on FOXP2 in order to________.Atrace the appearance and evolution of the speech ability.Bfind out how far back in the hominid lineage the ability to use language stretches.Cfind evidence proving the gene which controls the motion of speech.Didentify the crucial changes that had taken place on this gene and the consequent influence.SSS_SINGLE_SELThe gene of FOXP2 is regarded as a gene with a direct connection with speech because________.Ait was found in Neanderthal remains from northern Spain.Bit was found that sudden change of FOXP2 may lead to speech disorder.Cit was linked to the production of birdsong and the ultrasonic musings of mice.Dit does not change much from species to species.SSS_SINGLE_SELThe word “scupper” (Line 6, Paragraph 6) most probably means________.AdenyBdefeatCdemolishDdestroySSS_SINGLE_SELFrom the findings of Dr Pääbo’s research it may be inferredthat________.AFOXP2 is the gene that enables the speech ability in both humans and NeanderthalsBthe fork separating the line leading to Homo sapiens from that to Homo neanderthalensis is wrongCmore important genes should be identified which control speechability and cognitive processDthe establishment of human civilization as a result of languageability might be falsePASSAGE TWOBerkeley seems like a fitting place to find the godfather of the openinnovation movement basking in glory. The Californian village was, after all, at the very heart of the anti-establishment movement of the 1960s and has spawned plenty of radical thinkers. One of them, Henry Chesbrough, a business professor at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley, observes with a smile that “this is the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love.”Mr. Chesbrough's two books “Open Innovation” and “Open Business Models” have popularised the notion of look ing for bright ideas outside of an organisation. As the concept of open innovation hasbecome ever more fashionable, the corporate R&D lab has become decreasingly relevant. Most ideas don't come from there.To see why travel to Cincinnati, Ohio—which is about as far removed culturally from Berkeley as one can get in America. The conservative midwestern city is home to P&G, historically one of the most traditional firms in America. For decades, **pany that brought the world Ivory soap, Crest toothpaste and Ariel detergent had a closed innovation process, centred around its own secretive R&D operations.No longer. P&G has radically altered the way it comes up with new ideas and products. It now welcomes and works with universities, suppliers and outside inventors. It also offers them a share in the rewards. In less than a decade, P&G has increased the proportion of new-product ideas originating from outside of the firm from less than a fifth to around half. That has boosted innovation and, says its boss, Mr Lafley, is the main reason why P&G has been able to grow at 6% a year between 2001 and 2006, tripling annual profits to $8.6 billion. **pany now has a market capitalization of over $200 billion. IBM is another iconic firm that has jumped on the open-innovation bandwagon. The once-**pany has done a sharp U-turn and embraced Linux, an open-source software language.IBM now gushes about being part of the “open-**munity”, yielding hundreds of software patents to the “**mons” rather thanregistering them for itself. However, it also continues to take out patents at a record pace in other areas, such as advanced materials, and in the process racks up some $1 billion a year in licensing fees.Since an army of programmers around the world work on developing Linux essentially at no cost, IBM now has an extremely cheap and robust operating system. It makes money by providing its clients with services that support the use of Linux—and charging them for it. Using opensource software saves IBM a whopping $400m a year, according to Paul Horn, until recently the firm's head of research. **pany is so committed to openness that it now carries out occasional “online jam sessions” during which tens of thousands of its employees exchange ideas in a mass form of brainstorming.Mr Chesbrough, of course, heartily approves. He gives dozens of other examples of firms doing similar things, ranging from Clorax, a household products firm to Air Products, an industrial **pany. Mr Chesbrough reckons that “IBM and P&G have timed their shift to ahighvolume open-business model very well” and that if **petitors do not do the same they will be in trouble.SSS_SINGLE_SEL“Summer of Love” is probably ________.Aa religious activity celebrating the open-innovation movement.Bthe anti-establishment movement.Ca movement advocating the innovation.Dan activity calling for open innovation.SSS_SINGLE_SELAccording to the passage, the annual profits of P&G in 2001 was about ________.A$ 2.87 billion.B$ 1.075 billion.C$ 2.15 billion.D$ 4.3 billion.SSS_SINGLE_SELAit embraced an open-source software language that is widely supported by the “**mons”Bit endows people inside and outside **pany with the access to the software patents it owns.Cit encourages an extensive public involvement in the development of new software for **pany.Dit indeed whops its cost and gains considerable profit from using Linux.SSS_SINGLE_SELIBM could provide its clients with cheap operating system because________.Aits programmers around the world develop Linux essentially at no cost.Bit makes money by providing its client with toll services supporting the operating system instead.Cit could save a lot of money by using open-source software.Dit has shifted its R&D outside, which save a lot of money.SSS_SINGLE_SELA**petitors will would lose their market share gradually which would be taken by R&D.Bthey fail to adopt the new model of open business which would pave the way to constant business success.Cthey do not recognize the best time to shift their backward business model.Dhey will be sifted out by the market as a result of their conservativeness.PASSAGE THREEIn the cause of equal rights, feminists have had much to complain about. But one striking piece of inequality has been conveniently overlooked: lifespan. In this area, women have the upper hand. All round the world, they live longer than men. Why they should do so is not immediately obvious. But the same is true in many other species. From lions to antelope and from sea lions to deer, males, for some reason, simply can't go the distance. One theory is that males **pete for female attention. That means evolution is busy selecting for antlers, aggression and alloy wheels in males, at the expense of longevity. Females are not subject to such pressures. If this theory is correct, the effect will be especially noticeable in those specieswhere **pete for the attention of lots of females. Conversely, itwill be reduced or absent where they do not.To test that idea, Tim Clutton-Brock of Cambridge University and Kavita Isvaran of the Indian Institute of Science in Bengalooru decided to compare monogamous and polygynous species (in the latter, a male monopolizes a number of females). They wanted to find out whether polygynous males had lower survival rates and aged faster than those of monogamous species. To do so, they collected the relevant data for 35 species of long-lived birds and mammals.As they report, the pattern was much as they expected. In 16 of the 19 polygynous species in their sample, males of all ages were much more likely to die during any given period than were females. Furthermore, the older they got, the bigger the mortality gap became. In other words, they aged faster. Males from monogamous species did not show these patterns. The point about polygyny is that if one male has exclusive access to, say, ten females, another nine males will be waiting to topple the harem master as soon as he shows the first sign of weakness. The **petitive pressure means that individuals who succeed put all their efforts into one or two breeding seasons.That obviously takes its toll directly. But a more subtle effect may also be at work. Most students of ageing agree that an animal’s maximum lifespan is set by how long it can reasonably expect to escape predation, disease, accident and damaging aggression by others of its kind. If it will be killed quickly anyway, there is not much reason for evolution to divert scarce resources into keeping the machine in tip-top condition. Those resources should, instead, be devoted to reproduction. And the more threatening the outside world is, the shorter the maximum lifespan should be.There is no reason why that logic should not work between the sexes as well as between species. The test is to identify a species that has made its environment so safe that most of its members die of old age, and see if the difference continues to exist. Fortunately, there is such a species: man. Dr Clutton-Brock reckons that the sex difference in both human rates of ageing and in the usual age of death is an indicator that polygyny was the rule in humanity's evolutionary past—as it still is, in some places. That may not please some feminists, but it could be the price women have paid for outliving their menfolk.SSS_SINGLE_SELThe passage is mainly discussing about ________.Adifference in life span between males and females of different species.Bdifference in life span among species of different mating patterns.Cthe reason of why human females outlive their male counterparts.Dnatural selection among males and females during evolution.SSS_SINGLE_SELIn th e sentence “That means evolution is busy selecting for antlers, aggression and alloy wheels in males…”, “antlers, aggression and alloy wheels” represent ________.Athe most excellent ones.Bthe most powerful ones.Cthe most attractive ones.Dthe most aggressive ones.SSS_SINGLE_SELWhich one of the following statement is TRUE of points proved by the test of Tim Clutton-Brock and Kavita Isvaran?APolygamous species have shorter life spans than molygynous species.BPolygamous species aged faster than molygynous species.CPolygamous males decrease faster in number as they grow older.DMonogamous males live as long as their females.SSS_SINGLE_SELThe logic behind the fact that the species living in the most dangerous environment have the shortest lifespan is that ________.Aresources should be devoted to reproduction rather than sustaining life.Bresources should be used most efficiently.Cspecies in the most dangerous environment should not waste the resources.Dthere is no need to divert scarce resources into keeping the machine in best condition.SSS_SINGLE_SELThe test conducted by Tim Clutton-Brock and Kavita Isvaran demonstrates that ________.APolygyny was the rule in humanity's evolutionary past.BThe sex difference on life span is attributable to humans' biological past which should not be denied by feminists.CThe logic does not work between the sexes as well as between species.DIt was polygyny that accounts for human females' general longevity over males.PASSAGE FOURWith technology leased from the **pany Tronical, Gibson has modified its classic Les Paul design to create a guitar that adjusts itself to one of six preset tunings. This is no instrument for beginners. Retailing for between $2,200 and $2,500, the Robot Guitar is courting serious hobbyists and professionals who demand precision tuning, or frequently switch between different tunings and don't want the hassle of lugging multiple instruments around. “It's a cool idea. Nobody likes tuning,” concedes Dinosaur Jr. frontman J. Mascis. “But I have to wait for the drummer to rest anyway between songs.” **pany, called TransPerformance, sells a similar tuning device that it willinstall in your nonrobotic guitar for you. But Gibson's is the first out-of-the-box self-tuning ax.It sounds like a minor development in guitar technology, even rather gimmicky. But for an instrument that has barely evolved since the 1950s, the Robot Guitar is nothing short of magic: simply pull out the “master control knob” and strum the guita r. The knob lights up as a computer embedded in the back of the guitar measures eachstring's pitch. The tuning pegs turn by themselves, making a robotic whirring sound that enhances the wow. The control knob's lights flash blue when your instrument is locked into the tuning you select. If you're so inclined you can override the device and tune manually. But why would you? It takes all of 10 seconds for the Robot Guitar to do its thing—and blow your mind as it hasn't been blown since the first time you hear d “Eruption.”In an industry that has been flat to sagging, the Robot Guitar could provide a welcome boost to retailers. After 10 years of brisk growth, guitar sales headed south in 2006, according to the April 2007 Music Trades Magazine industry census. Low-end beginner acoustic guitar sales dropped 24.4 percent last year; electric guitars fell 19.1 percent. Certainly there is a dearth of righteous shredding ontoday's Top 40 radio. And the wildly popular videogame “Guitar Hero” allows even the most tone-deaf nonmusician to simulate the experience of rocking out. Professional musicians account for 15 percent of instrument purchases in the country, according to George Van Horn, a senior analyst at IBISWorld. “Gibson is obviously aiming high, but it's worth c hasing” the pros, he says.Judging by all the buzz the Robot Guitar has generated, Gibson won't have a hard time chasing down anyone. “You don't see this kind of excitement often,” says Norman Hajjar, the chief marketing officer at Guitar Center, which has stocked 1,000 of the 4,000 Robot Guitars hitting the market nationwide Dec. 7. “They're quite a draw. We let people touch and play with the guitars—they're putting them through their paces. It really charms people.” As of Thursday morning, Guitar Center had already taken deposits on roughly a third of the 1,000 Robot Guitars they have in stock.The very fact that “Guitar Hero” and now “Rock Band” are powerchording their way off store shelves this holiday season proves that the dream is alive. The reason th at the odious song “Rock Star” is currently ubiquitous has nothing to do with quality songwriting. Truth is, we all want to be rock stars; the videogames and Nickelback's opus get us all a little closer to living the。

A good conversation is one of the great joys of being human, but it is not clear just how far back in the hominid lineage the ability to use language stretches. The question of when grunts and yelps turned into words and phrases is a tricky one. One way of trying to answer it is to look in the fossil record for evidence about what modern humanity's closest relatives could do.Svante Pääbo, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, and his colleagues have done just that. Dr Pääbo is an expert in e xtracting and interpreting the DNA of fossils. As he reports in the latest issue of Current Biology, he and his team have worked their magic on a gene called FOXP2 found in Neanderthal remains from northern Spain. The reason for picking this particular gene is that it is the only one known so far to have a direct connection with speech. In 1990, a family with an inherited speech disorder known as verbal dyspraxia drew the attention of genetics researchers. Those researchers identified a mutation in FOXP2 as the cause of the dyspraxia.Since then FOXP2 has been the subject of intensive study. It has been linked to the production of birdsong and the ultrasonic musings of mice. It is a conservative type, not changing much from species to species. But it has undergone two changes since humans split from chimpanzees 6m years ago, and some researchers believe these changes played a crucial role in the development of speech and language.If these changes are common to modern humans and Neanderthals, they must predate the separation of the line leading to Homo sapiens from the one leading to Homo neanderthalensis. Dr Pääbo's research suggests precisely that: the FOXP2 genes from modern humans and Neanderthals are essentially the same. To the extent that the gene enables language, it enables it in both species.There has been much speculation about Neanderthals' ability to speak. They were endowed with a hyoid bone, which anchors the tongue and allows a wide variety of movements of the larynx. Neanderthal skulls also show evidence of a large hypoglossal canal. This is the route taken by the nerves that supply the tongue. As such, it is a requisite for the exquisitely complex movements of speech. Moreover, the inner-ear structure of Homo heidelbergensis, an ancestor of Neanderthals, shows that this species was highly sensitive to the frequencies of sound that are associated with speech.That Neanderthals also shared with moderns the single known genetic component of speech is another clue that they possessed the necessary apparatus for having a good natter. But suggestive as that is, the question remains open. FOXP2 is almost certainly not “the language gene”. Without doubt, it is involved in the control and regulation of the motions of speech, but whether it plays a role in the cognitive processes that must precede talking remains unclear—jokes about engaging brain before putting mouth in gear notwithstanding. The idea that the forebears of modern humans could talk would scupper the notion that language was the force that created modern human culture—otherwise, why would they not have built civilizations? But it would make that chat with a Neanderthal much more interesting.1.Which one of the following statements is NOT true of Neanderthal men?[A]they are derived from a branch of early Neanderthals called Homoheidelbergensis.[B]they are existent descendant of Homo neanderthalensis.[C]they are Homo sapiens’s closest relatives.[D]they are officially named Homo neanderthalensis in the academic circle.2.Svante Pääbo and his team c arried out a study on FOXP2 in order to_____[A]trace the appearance and evolution of the speech ability.[B]find out how far back in the hominid lineage the ability to use languagestretches.[C]find evidence proving the gene which controls the motion of speech.[D]identify the crucial changes that had taken place on this gene and the consequent influence.3.The gene of FOXP2 is regarded as a gene with a direct connection with speech because_____[A]it was found in Neanderthal remains from northern Spain.[B]it was found that sudden change of FOXP2 may lead to speech disorder.[C]it was linked to the production of birdsong and the ultrasonic musings ofmice.[D]it does not change much from species to species.4.The word “scupper” (Line 7, Paragraph 6) most probably means _____[A] deny. [B] defeat. [C] demolish. [D] destory.5.From the findings of Dr Pääbo's research it may be inferred that_____[A]FOXP2 is the gene that enables the speech ability in both humans andNeanderthals.[B]the fork separating the line leading to Homo sapiens from that to Homoneanderthalensis is wrong.[C]more important genes should be identified which control speech ability and cognitive process.[D]the establishment of human civilization as a result of language ability mightbe false.PASSAGE TWOBerkeley seems like a fitting place to find the godfather of the open-innovation movement basking in glory. The Californian village was, after all, at the very heart of the anti-establishment movement of the 1960s and has spawned plenty of radical thinkers. One of them, Henry Chesbrough, a business professor at the University of California at Berkeley, observes with a smile that “this is the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love.”Mr Chesbrough's two books “Open Innovation” and “Open Business Models”have popularised the notion of looking for bright ideas outside of an organisation. As the concept of open innovation has become ever more fashionable, the corporate R&D lab has become decreasingly relevant. Most ideas don't come from there.To see why travel to Cincinnati, Ohio—which is about as far removed culturally from Berkeley as one can get in America. The conservative mid-western city is home to P&G, historically one of the most traditional firms in America. For decades, the company that brought the world Ivory soap, Crest toothpaste and Ariel detergent had a closed innovation process, centred around its own secretive R&D operations.No longer. P&G has radically altered the way it comes up with new ideas and products. It now welcomes and works with universities, suppliers and outside inventors. It also offers them a share in the rewards. In less than a decade, P&G has increased the proportion of new-product ideas originating from outside of the firm from less than a fifth to around half. That has boosted innovation and, says its boss, Mr Lafley, is the main reason why P&G has been able to grow at 6% a year between 2001 and 2006, tripling annual profits to $8.6 billion. The company now has a market capitalization of over $200 billion.IBM is another iconic firm that has jumped on the open-innovation bandwagon. The once-secretive company has done a sharp U-turn and embraced Linux, an open-source software language. IBM now gushes about being part of the “open-innovation community”, yielding hundreds of software patents to the “creative commons” rather than registering them for itself. However, it also continues to take out patents at a record pace in other areas, such as advanced materials, and in the process racks up some $1 billion a year in licensing fees.Since an army of programmers around the world work on developing Linux essentially at no cost, IBM now has an extremely cheap and robust operating system. It makes money by providing its clients with services that support the use of Linux —and charging them for it. Using open-source software saves IBM a whopping $400ma year, according to Paul Horn, until recently the firm's head of research. The company is so committed to openness that it now carries out occasional “online jam sessions” during which tens of thousands of its employees exchange ideas in a mass form of brainstorming.Mr Chesbrough, of course, heartily approves. He gives dozens of other examples of firms doing similar things, ranging from Clorax, a household products firm to Air Products, an industrial gases company. Mr Chesbrough reckons that “IBM and P&G have timed their shift to a high-volume open-business model very well” and that if their competitors do not do the same they will be in trouble.6. “Summer of Love” is probably _____[A]a religious activity celebrating the open-innovation movement.[B]the anti-establishment movement.[C]a movement advocating the innovation.[D]an activity calling for open innovation.7. According to the passage, the annual profits of P&G in 2001 was about_____[A] $ 2.87 billion. [B] $ 1.075 billion. [C] $ 2.15 billion. [D] $ 4.3 billion.8. IBM now gushes about being part of the “open-innovation community” inthat_____[A]it embraced an open-source software language that is widely supported by the “creative commons”.[B]it endows people inside and outside the company with the access to the software patents it owns.[C]it encourages an extensive public involvement in the development of new software for the company.[D]it indeed whops its cost and gains considerable profit from using Linux.9.IBM could provide its clients with cheap operating system because_____[A] its programmers around the world develop Linux essentially at no cost.[B] it makes money by providing its client with toll services supporting theoperatingsystem instead.[C]it could save a lot of money by using open-source software.[D]it has shifted its R&D outside, which save a lot of money.10.According to the last paragraph, if their competitors do not do the same they will be in trouble because_____[A] their competitors will would lose their market share gradually which would be taken by R&D.[B] they fail to adopt the new model of open business which would pave the way to constant business success.[C] they do not recognize the best time to shift their backwardbusiness model. [D] they will be sifted out by the market as a resultof their conservativeness.PASSAGE THREEIn the cause of equal rights, feminists have had much to complain about. But one striking piece of inequality has been conveniently overlooked: lifespan. In this area, women have the upper hand. All round the world, they live longer than men. Why they should do so is not immediately obvious. But the same is true in many other species. From lions to antelope and from sea lions to deer, males, for some reason, simply can't go the distance. One theory is that males must compete for female attention. That means evolution is busy selecting for antlers, aggression and alloy wheels in males, at the expense of longevity. Females are not subject to such pressures. If this theory is correct, the effect will be especially noticeable in those species where males compete for the attention of lots of females. Conversely, it will be reduced or absent where they do not.To test that idea, Tim Clutton-Brock of Cambridge University and Kavita Isvaran of the Indian Institute of Science in Bengalooru decided to compare monogamous and polygynous species (in the latter, a male monopolizes a number of females). They wanted to find out whether polygynous males had lower survival rates and aged faster than those of monogamous species. To do so, they collected the relevant data for 35 species of long-lived birds and mammals.As they report, the pattern was much as they expected. In 16 of the 19 polygynous species in their sample, males of all ages were much more likely to die during any given period than were females. Furthermore, the older they got, the bigger the mortality gap became. In other words, they aged faster. Males from monogamous species did not show these patterns. The point about polygyny is that if one male has exclusive access to, say, ten females, another nine males will be waiting to topple the harem master as soon as he shows the first sign of weakness. The intense competitive pressure means that individuals who succeed put all their efforts into one or two breeding seasons.That obviously takes its toll directly. But a more subtle effect may also be at work. Most students of ageing agree that an animal's maximum lifespan is set by how long it can reasonably expect to escape predation, disease, accident and damaging aggression by others of its kind. If it will be killed quickly anyway, there is not much reason for evolution to divert scarce resources into keeping the machine in tip-top condition. Those resources should, instead, be devoted to reproduction. And the more threatening the outside world is, the shorter the maximum lifespan should be.There is no reason why that logic should not work between the sexes as well as between species. The test is to identify a species that has made its environment so safe that most of its members die of old age, and see if the difference continues to exist. Fortunately, there is such a species: man. Dr Clutton-Brock reckons that the sex difference in both human rates of ageing and in the usual age of death is an indicator that polygyny was the rule in humanity's evolutionary past—as it stillis, in some places. That may not please some feminists, but it could be the price women have paid for outliving their menfolk.11. The passage is mainly discussing about_____[A]difference in life span between males and females of different species.[B]difference in life span among species of different mating patterns.[C]the reason of why human females outlive their male counterparts.[D]natural selection among males and females during evolution.12.In the sentence “That means evolution is busy selecting for antlers, aggression and alloy wheels in males…”, “antlers, aggression and alloy wheels”represent_____[A] the mostexcellent ones. [B]the most powerfulones.[C] the mostattractive ones. [D]the most aggressiveones.13.Which one of the following statement is TRUE of points proved by the test of Tim Clutton-Brock and Kavita Isvaran?[A] Polygamous species have shorter life spans than molygynousspecies. [B] Polygamous species aged faster than thanmolygynous species.[C] Polygamous males decrease faster in number as they growolder. [D] Monogamous males live as long as their females.14.The logic behind the fact that the species living in the most dangerous environment have the shortest lifespan is that_____[A] resources should be devoted to reproduction rather thansustaining life. [B] resources should be used most efficiently.[C] species in the most dangerous environment should not waste the resources.[D] there is no need to divert scarce resources into keeping the machine in best condition.15.The test conducted by Tim Clutton-Brock and Kavita Isvaran demostratesthat_____[A] Polygyny was the rule in humanity’s evolutionary past.[B] The sex difference on life span is attributable to humans’ biological pastwhichshould not be denied by feminists.[C]The logic does not work between the sexes as well as between species.[D]It was polygyny that accounts for human females’ general longevity overmales.PASSAGE FOURWith technology leased from the German company Tronical, Gibson has modified its classic Les Paul design to create a guitar that adjusts itself to one of six preset tunings. This is no instrument for beginners. Retailing for between $2,200 and $2,500, the Robot Guitar is courting serious hobbyists and professionals who demand precision tuning, or frequently switch between different tunings and don't want the hassle of lugging multiple instruments around. "It's a cool idea. Nobody likes tuning," concedes Dinosaur Jr. frontman J. Mascis. "But I have to wait for the drummer to rest anyway between songs." Another company, called TransPerformance, sells a similar tuning device that it will install in your nonrobotic guitar for you. But Gibson's is the first out-of-the-box self-tuning ax.It sounds like a minor development in guitar technology, even rather gimmicky. But for an instrument that has barely evolved since the 1950s, the Robot Guitar is nothing short of magic: simply pull out the "master control knob" and strum the guitar. The knob lights up as a computer embedded in the back of the guitar measures each string's pitch. The tuning pegs turn by themselves, making a robotic whirring sound that enhances the wow. The control knob's lights flash blue when your instrument is locked into the tuning you select. If you're so inclined you can override the device and tune manually. But why would you? It takes all of 10 seconds for the Robot Guitar to do its thing—and blow your mind as it hasn't been blown since the first time you heard "Eruption."In an industry that has been flat to sagging, the Robot Guitar could provide a welcome boost to retailers. After 10 years of brisk growth, guitar sales headed south in 2006, according to the April 2007 Music Trades Magazine industry census. Low-end beginner acoustic guitar sales dropped 24.4 percent last year; electric guitars fell 19.1 percent. Certainly there is a dearth of righteous shredding on today's Top 40 radio. And the wildly popular videogame "Guitar Hero" allows even the most tone-deaf nonmusician to simulate the experience of rocking out. Professional musicians account for 15 percent of instrument purchases in the country, according to George Van Horn, a senior analyst at IBISWorld. "Gibson is obviously aiming high, but it's worth chasing" the pros, he says.Judging by all the buzz the Robot Guitar has generated, Gibson won't have a hard time chasing down anyone. "You don't see this kind of excitement often," says Norman Hajjar, the chief marketing officer at Guitar Center, which has stocked 1,000 of the 4,000 Robot Guitars hitting the market nationwide Dec. 7. "They're quite a draw. We let people touch and play with the guitars—they're putting them through their paces. It really charms people." As of Thursday morning, Guitar Center had already taken deposits on roughly a third of the 1,000 Robot Guitars they have in stock.The very fact that "Guitar Hero" and now "Rock Band" are power-chording their way off store shelves this holiday season proves that the dream is alive. The reason that the odious song "Rock Star" is currently ubiquitous has nothing to do with quality songwriting. Truth is, we all want to be rock stars; the videogames and Nickelback's opus get us all a little closer to living the fantasy. But with the Robot Guitar, it's the musicians themselves who have gotten a long overdue leg up.16.By saying “But I have to wait for the drummer to rest anyway between songs”, J. Mascis means_____[A]that he could use this kind of device only when the drummer stops.[B]that he has no necessity or urgency to use the self-turning guitar.[C]that he make use of the self-turning guitar for precision tuning when the drummer takes a break.[D]that he have to wait for the drummer to follow him if he use theself-tuning guitar. 17.The word “override” (Line 7, Paragraph 2) mostprobably means_____[A] shift. [B] close. [C] set aside. [D]disregard.18.Which one of the following statement is NOT true ofguitar sales? [A] Guitar sales have been going up slowlyin the past then years. [B] Guitar sales has witnessed itsswitch to loss of margin in 2006.[C] The fall of guitar sales is due to the drop of purchase by professionalmusicians. [D] Guitar sales are pinched by the development of the musicgames.19.Which one of the following statements is TRUE of George Van Horn’s opinions on the gimmicky?[A] He thinks although Gibson’s plan is worth trying, it should lower itsexpectation. [B] He thinks Gibson’s target group is too narrow and it should expand to larger clients.[C] He thinks Gibson’s idea has its value and future though he thinks too highly of his invention.[D] He thinks Gibson has made right choice in choosing future customers.20.From the last paragraph, it can be inferred that _____[A]guitar videogames will be a threat to the Robot Guitar.[B]the Robot Guitar can not be mentioned in the same breath with “Guitar Hero”and “Rock Bank”.[C]“Guitar Hero” and “Rock Bank” triumphs over the Robot Guitar.[D]“Rock Star” will be defeated by the Robot Guitar.四、Language UsageDirections: The passage contains TEN errors.
