or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? make no mistake about it, going to space will be the most expeive vacation you ever take. prices right now are in the te of millio of dolla. currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the russian soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. each spacecraft requires millio of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expeive to launch. one pound of payload (有效栽载重) costs about $10,000 to put into earth's orbit.nasa and lockheed martin are currently developing a single-stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the venture star , that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. if the venture star takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millio.in 1998, a joint report from nasa and the space traportation association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. the report concluded that at a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passenge flying into space each year. while still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, "isn't that great-when do i get to go?" well, our chance might be closer than ever. within the next 20 yea, space planes could be taking off for the moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between new york and los angeles.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this tree come to own itself and the land around it?B)Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly tooka liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger. As to why he loved itso, the earliest documented account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens Weekly Banner published on August 12, 1890. It states, “Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human. Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains, and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it.”C)Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a littleland around it to the tree itself. The deed read, “W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides.”D)In time, the tree came to be something of a tourist attraction, known as The Tree That OwnsItself. However, in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death, with little that could be done about it. Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and leafy fellow custodians (看管者) of Earth. Finally, on October 9, 1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.E)About four years later, members of the Junior Ladies Garden Club (who’d tended to thetree before its unfortunate death) tracked down a small tree grown from a nut taken from the original tree. And so it was that on October 9, 1946, under the direction of Professor Roy Bowden of the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, this little tree was transplanted to the location of its ancestor. A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.F)This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumedthat, as the original tree’s heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on. Of course, there are many dozens of other trees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty. That said, to date, none of the original tree’s other children have petitioned the courts for their share of the land, so it seems all good. In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.G)This all brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the treeto itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.H)Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens,starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died. Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.I)He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he ownedthat land or not isn’t clear. Whatever the case, in 1832 a four acre parcel, which included the land the tree was on and the neighboring land Jackson lived on, among others, was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward. In the transaction, Ward was required to payJackson a sum of $1,200 (about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot. In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.J)After Professor Ward purchased the land, Jackson and his family purchased a 655 acre parcel a few miles away and moved there. Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff’s office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage. Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it taken as well.K)And whatever the case there, Jackson would have known property taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land for the tree to be truly secure in its future. Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.L)On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson’s death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in 1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.M)As you might imagine from all of this, few give credit to this side of the story. So how did all of this come about then?N)It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled “Deeded to Itself”, which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false. As to why the author would do this, it’s speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itself or not.O)Whatever the case, the next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn’t until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner.This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published abouta decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the AthensWeekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.36. Jackson was said to have transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itself in order to protect it from being destroyed.37. No proof has been found from an extensive search that Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grew.38. When it was raining heavily, Jackson often took shelter under a big tree that is said to own itself.39. There is no evidence that Jackson had made arrangements to pay property taxes for the land on which the oak tree sat.40. Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasing a piece of land from him.41. It is said the tree that owned itself fell in a heavy windstorm.42. The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been invented as a thought exercise.43. Jackson’s little plantation was auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century.44. An official ceremony was held to celebrate the transplanting of a small tree to where its ancestor had stood.45.

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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.It is irrefutable that employees know the difference between right and wron g. So why don’t more employees intervene when they see someone exhibiting at-risk behavior in the workplace?There are a number of factors that influence whether people intervene. First, they need to be able to see a risky situation beginning to unfold. Second, the company’s culture needs to make them feel safe to speak up. And third, they need to have the communication skills to say something effectively.This is not strictly a workplace problem; it’s a growing problem off the job too. Every day people witness things on the street and choose to stand idly by. This is known as the bystander effect—the more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone in that group is to help the victim. The psychology behind this is called diffusion of responsibility. Basically, the larger the crowd, the more people assume that someone else will take care of it—meaning no one effectively intervenes or acts in a moment of need.This crowd mentality is strong enough for people to evade their known responsibilities. But it’s not only frontline workers who don’t make safety i nterventions in the workplace. There are also instances where supervisors do not intervene either.When a group of employees sees unsafe behavior not being addressed at a leadership level it creates the precedent that this is how these situations should be addressed, thus defining the safety culture for everyone.Despite the fact that workers are encouraged to intervene when they observe unsafe operations, this happens less than half of the time. Fear is the ultimate factor in not intervening. There is a fear of penalty, a fear that they’ll have to do more work if they intervene. Unsuccessful attempts in the past are another strong contributing factor to why people don’t intervene—they tend to prefer to defer that action to someone else for all future situations.On many worksites, competent workers must be appointed. Part of their job is to intervene when workers perform a task without the proper equipment or if the conditions are unsafe. Competent workers are also required to stop work from continuing when there’s a danger.Supervisors also play a critical role. Even if a competent person isn’t required, supervisors need a broad set of skills to not only identify and alleviate workplace hazards but also build a safety climate within their team that supports intervening and open communication among them.Beyond competent workers and supervisors, it’s important to educate everyon e within the organization that they are obliged to intervene if they witness a possible unsafe act, whether you’re a designated competent person, a supervisor or a frontline worker.46. What is one of the factors contributing to failure of intervention in face of risky behavior in the workplace?A) Slack supervision style. C) Unforeseeable risk.B) Unfavorable workplace culture. D) Blocked communication.47. What does the author mean by “diffusion of responsibility” (Line 4, Para. 3)?A) The more people are around, the more they need to worry about their personal safety.B) The more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone will venture to participate.C) The more people idling around on the street, the more likely they need taking care of.D) The more people are around, the less chance someone will step forward to intervene.48. What happens when unsafe behavior at the workplace is not addressed by the leaders?A) No one will intervene when they see similar behaviors.B) Everyone will see it as the easiest way to deal with crisis.C) Workers have to take extra caution executing their duties.D) Workers are left to take care of the emergency themselves.49. What is the ultimate reason workers won’t act when they see unsafe operations?A) Preference of deferring the action to others. C) Fear of being isolated by coworkers.B) Anticipation of leadership intervention. D) Fear of having to do more work.50. What is critical to ensuring workplace safety?A) Workers be trained to operate their equipment properly.B) Workers exhibiting at-risk behavior be strictly disciplined.C) Supervisors create a safety environment for timely intervention.D) Supervisors conduct effective communication with frontline workers.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The term “environmentalist” can mean different things. It used to refer to people trying to protect wildlife and natural ecosystems. In the 21st century, the term has evolved to capture the need to combat human-made climate change.The distinction between these two strands of environmentalism is the cause of a split within the scientific community about nuclear energy.On one side are purists who believe nuclear power isn’t worth the risk and the exclusive solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. The opposing side agrees that renewables are crucial, but says society needs an amount of power available to meet consumers’ basic demands when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear energy, being far cleaner than oil, gas and coal, is a natural option, especially where hydroelectric capacity is limited.Leon Clarke, who helped author reports for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, isn’t an uncritical supporter of nuclear energy, but says it’s a valuable option to have i f we’re serious about reaching carbon neutrality.“Core to all of this is the degree to which you think we can actually meet climate goals with 100% renewables,” he said. “If you don’t believe we can do it, and you care about the climate, you are forced to think about something like nuclear.”The achievability of universal 100% renewability is similarly contentious. Cities such as Burlington, Vermont, have been “100% renewable” for years. But these cities often have s mall populations, occasionally still rely on fossil fuel energy and have significant renewable resources at their immediate disposal. Meanwhile, countries that manage to run off renewables typically do so thanks to extraordinary hydroelectric capabilities.Germany stands as the best case study for a large, industrialized country pushing into green energy. Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011 announced Energiewende, an energy transition that would phase out nuclear and coal while phasing in renewables. Wind and solar power generation has increased over 400% since 2010, and renewables provided 46% of the country’s electricity in 2019.But progress has halted in recent years. The instability of renewables doe sn’t just mean energy is often not produced at night, but also that solar and wind can overwhelm the grid during the day, forcing utilities to pay customers to use their electricity. Lagging grid infrastructure struggles to transport this overabundance of green energy from Germany’s north to its industrial south, meaning many factories still run on coal and gas. The political limit has also been reached in some places, with citizens meeting the construction of new wind turbines with loud protests.The result is that Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by around 11.5% since 2010—slower than the EU average of 13.5%.51. What accounts for the divide within the scientific community about nuclear energy?A) Attention to combating human-made climate change.B) Emphasis on protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems.C) Evolution of the term ‘green energy’ over the last century.D) Adherence to different interpretations of environmentalism.52. What is the solution to energy shortage proposed by purists’ opponents?A) Relying on renewables firmly and exclusively.B) Using fossil fuel and green energy alternately.C) Opting for nuclear energy when necessary.D) Limiting people’s non-basic consumption.53. What point does the author want to make with cities like Burlington as an example?A) It is controversial whether the goal of the whole world’s exclusive dependence on renewables is attainable.B) It is contentious whether cities with large populations have renewable resources at their immediate disposal.C) It is arguable whether cities that manage to run off renewables have sustainable hydroelectric capabilities.D) It is debatable whether traditional fossil fuel energy can be done away with entirely throughout the world.54. What do we learn about Germany regarding renewable energy?A) It has increased its wind and solar power generation four times over the last two decades.B) It represents a good example of a major industrialized country promoting green energy.C) It relies on renewable energy to generate more than half of its electricity.D) It has succeeded in reaching the goal of energy transition set by Merkel.55. What may be one of the reasons for Germany’s progress having halted in recent years?A) Its grid infrastructure’s capacity has fallen behind its development of green energy.B) Its overabundance of green energy has forced power plants to suspend operation during daytime.C) Its industrial south is used to running factories on conventional energy supplies.D) Its renewable energy supplies are unstable both at night and during the day.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this tree come to own itself and the land around it?B)Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly tooka liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger. As to why he loved itso, the earliest documented account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens Weekly Banner published on August 12, 1890. It states, “Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human. Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains, and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it.”C)Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a littleland around it to the tree itself. The deed read, “W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides.”D)In time, the tree came to be something of a tourist attraction, known as The Tree That OwnsItself. However, in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death, with little that could be done about it. Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and leafy fellow custodians (看管者) of Earth. Finally, on October 9, 1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.E)About four years later, members of the Junior Ladies Garden Club (who’d tended to thetree before its unfortunate death) tracked down a small tree grown from a nut taken from the original tree. And so it was that on October 9, 1946, under the direction of Professor Roy Bowden of the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, this little tree was transplanted to the location of its ancestor. A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.F)This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumedthat, as the original tree’s heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on. Of course, there are many dozens of other trees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty. That said, to date, none of the original tree’s other children have petitioned the courts for their share of the land, so it seems all good. In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.G)This all brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the treeto itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.H)Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens,starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died. Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.I)He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he ownedthat land or not isn’t clear. Whatever the case, in 1832 a four acre parcel, which included the land the tree was on and the neighboring land Jackson lived on, among others, was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward. In the transaction, Ward was required to payJackson a sum of $1,200 (about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot. In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.J)After Professor Ward purchased the land, Jackson and his family purchased a 655 acre parcel a few miles away and moved there. Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff’s office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage. Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it taken as well.K)And whatever the case there, Jackson would have known property taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land for the tree to be truly secure in its future. Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.L)On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson’s death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in 1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.M)As you might imagine from all of this, few give credit to this side of the story. So how did all of this come about then?N)It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled “Deeded to Itself”, which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false. As to why the author would do this, it’s speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itself or not.O)Whatever the case, the next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn’t until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner.This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published abouta decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the AthensWeekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.36. Jackson was said to have transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itself in order to protect it from being destroyed.37. No proof has been found from an extensive search that Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grew.38. When it was raining heavily, Jackson often took shelter under a big tree that is said to own itself.39. There is no evidence that Jackson had made arrangements to pay property taxes for the land on which the oak tree sat.40. Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasing a piece of land from him.41. It is said the tree that owned itself fell in a heavy windstorm.42. The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been invented as a thought exercise.43. Jackson’s little plantation was auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century.44. An official ceremony was held to celebrate the transplanting of a small tree to where its ancestor had stood.45. The story of the Tree That Owns Itself appeared in the local paper several times, with slight alterations in wording.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section.

technology and markets have stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored theneed for better coordination in organizations. teammanagement provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people,they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occurnaturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can functionmore effectively, but how it integrates with the overallorganization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore,teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group’s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperationprocess within teams, must be organized, promoted andmanaged. he believes that team cooperation results whenmembers go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond whateach is used to being and doing. together, the team may thenproduce something new, unique, and superior to that of anyone member. for this to happen, he suggests that themulticultural managers exhibit understandings of their own andothers’ cultural influences and limitations. they should alsocultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence andpatience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the teamas a whole would be better able to realize their potential andachieve their objectives.问题+答案：16. what should team members do to fully realize theirpotential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17. what needs to be considered for effective teammanagement?b) what type of personnel the team should be composed of.18. what conclusion can we draw from what casey says?d) a team manager should develop a certain set skills.passage 2mosaic was an overnight

What were you doing there?M: The trip was intended to bring to the world’s attention the fact that AIDS is not just an African disease; it’s also endangering other countries, notably, India and Thailand.Q: What was the purpose of the man’s trip to India?Question 16:M: It’s quite clear form my visit, this is a full size, comprehensive university. So why is it still called a college? W: The College of William and Mary is the second oldest institution of higher learning in this country. We have nurtured great minds like Thomas Jefferson and we are proud of our name.Q: What do we learn from this conversation about the College of William and Mary?Question 17:M: Have the parts we need for the photo copying machine arrived yet?W: I ordered them last week, but something is holding them up.Q: What does the woman say about the parts needed for the photo copying machine?Question 18:W: The cafeteria provided many kinds of dished for us today. Did you notice that?M: Yes, kind of rare, isn’t it?Q: What does the man imply?Now you’ll hear the two long conversations.Conversation One:W: :Hello, Patrick, is that you?M: Yeah Jane, what can I do for you?W: I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday.M: That was hard work!W: I’m sure it was. It sure looked difficult.M: Yeah, I’m glad it’s finished. Hauling the branches to the front for garbage pick up was no fun either.W: Well, I don’t think you’re quite finished yet, some of the larger branches fell over into my yard, and I think you should come and get them.M: Listen Jane, I don’t see why I should do that. You eat all the apples that fall in your yard and you’ve never complained about that before.W: Well, it’s easier to pick up apples then to drag tree branches all the way to the curb. My kids pick up the apples, and the branches are just too big for them to drag.M: Well, I guess you’ll just have to do it yourself Jane.W: Patrick, I wi sh you would reconsider. We’ve always gotten along fairly well, but I think you’re out of line here. The branches are your responsibility.M: Sorry Jane, I disagree! You take the benefits of the apple tree, but refuse to deal with the bad side of it!Besid es, it won’t take you any time to get the branches out front!W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously! I’ve gotta go, I have to pick up my son.W: You’ll be hearing from me.M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court Jane.Questions 19-22 are based on the questions you have just heard.Question 19:What did the man do yesterday?Question 20:What did the woman ask the man to do?Question 21:What did the woman threaten to do?Question 22:What was the man’s reaction to the woman’s threat?Conversation Two:M: Did you hear about the air crash that occurred in South America recently? It was quite a tragic accident!W: No，I didn’t see anything in the news about it. What happened?M: A foreign airliner was attempting to land at night in a mountainous area in Argentina and flew into a hill!W: That sounds really terrible! Did anyone survive?M: No, everyone aboard, including the crew, was killed instantly.W: What were the circumstances? Were they bad weather, a fire, or engine failure?M: Apparently, there was some low clouds in the area, but mostly it was just miscommunication between the pilots and the are traffic controllers.W: Weren’t they both speaking in English, the official internat ional aviation language?M: Yes they were, but the transmit ion from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the accents of the Spanish speaking controllers was so strong that the pilots that the pilots misunderstood a vital instruction.W: How could a misunderstanding like that cause such a serious accident?M: The pilots were told to descend to 2-2,000 feet. The instruction actually meant 22,000 feet, but they thought they heard descend 2,000 feet. That’s a huge difference, and it should have been confirmed, but it was not. Unfortunately, the terrain of the mountains in Norweija ascend to 2,000 feet.W: So the pilots did descend to the wrong altitude then, because they were following the air controllers instructions.M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the simply understanding.W: Wow, that’s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.Questions: 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 23:What was the cause of the tragedy?Question 24:How high are the mountains in Norweija?Question 25:What lesson could be drawn from the accident?Section B:Passage one:Edgar Poe, an American writer, was born in 1809. His parents were actors. Edgar was a baby when his father left the family. He was two years old when his mother died. He was taken into the home of a wealthy business man named John Allen. He then received his real name, Edgar Allen Poe. As a young man, Poe attended the University of Virginia. He was a good student, but he liked to drink alcohol and play card games for money. As an unskilled game player, he often lost money. Since he couldn’t pay off his gambling money, he left university and began working for magazines. He worked hard, yet he was not well paid, or well known. At the age of 27, he got married. For a time it seemed that Poe would find happiness, but his wife was sick for most of their marriage, and died in 1847. Through all his crises, Poe produced many stories and poems which appeared in different publications, yet he didn’t become famous until 1845, when his poem, The Raven, was published. There is a question, however, about Poe’s importance in American Literature. Some critics say that Poe was one of America’s best writers, and even influenced many French writers, but others disagree. They say that Poe’s work is difficult to understand and most of his writing describes many unpleasant situations and events. Edgar Allen Poe died in 1849 when he was 40 years old. It is said that he was found dead after days of heavy drinking. Questions26:What happened to Edgar Allen Poe’s family, when he was only two years old?Question 27:Why did Edgar Allen Poe leave the University of Virginia?Question 28:What do some critics say about Edgar Allen Poe?Question 29:How did Edgar Allen Poe’s life come to an end?Passage Two:More than fifty years ago, the United Nations declared that literacy is a basic human right. It’s very important for improving the lives of individuals, however, it is estimated that 880 million adults around the world are illiterate, that is, they are unable to read or write. A majority of them are women. Over 100 million school age children around the world do not attend school. Many others complete school of fail to finish their studies without learning to read or write. Many countries depend on the efforts of people who offer their time to help illiterate individuals. For example, John Mogger became concerned about the problem of illiteracy three years ago, so he started teaching five prisoners in Brazil. In his teaching, he developed a system with these prisoners. He says his way of teaching can help anyone learn how to read and write with about thirty hours of study. To learn his system, people must first know how to write letters of the alphabet and learn which sounds they represent. The system divides letters into three groups. The first group of letter can be written between two lines. The second can be written between two lines but part of the letter is above the top line. The third group has letters that are partly written below the lower line. John Mogger taught his students to write simply words from the letters, in this way, his students learned more than seven hundred words. Many of them can now write to family members. They also can read newspapers and magazines.Questions 30:According to the speaker, which group of people make up the majority of the illiterate population? Question 31:What is the most important feature of John Moggers method of teaching the alphabet?Question 32:What does John Mogger say about his teaching method?Passage Three:Farmers usually use plows to prepare their fields for planting crops. Plows cut into the ground, and lift up weeds, and other unwanted plants. However, plowing is blamed for causing severe damage to top soil by removing the plants that protect soil from being blown or washed away. Many farmers in South Asia are now trying a processcalled Low Till Farming. Low Till Farming limits the use of plows. In this method of farming seeds and fertilizer are put into the soil through small cuts made in the surface of the ground. Low Till Agriculture leaves much or all the soil and remains of plants on the ground. They serve as a natural fertilizer and help support the roots of future crops. They take in rain and allow it to flow into the soil instead of running off. It has been proved that Low Till Farming increases harvests and reduces water use, and this method reduced the need for chemical products because there are fewer unwanted plants. Scientists say Low Till Farming is becoming popular in South Asia, which is facing a sever water shortage. They say the area will become depended on imported food unless water is saved through methods like Low Till Farming. Currently, more than 150 million people in South Asia depend on local rice and wheat crops. Farmers grow rice during wet weather. During the dry season they grow wheat in the same fields. Farmers are using the Low Till method to plant wheat after harvesting rice. Scientists say Low Till Agriculture is one of the best examples in the worlds of technologies working for both people, and the environment.Question 33:What is the main problem cause by the usual way of plowing?Question 34:What does the speaker say about Low Till Farming?Question 35:Where is Low Till Farming becoming popular?Section C: DirectionsIn this section you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read the second time you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36-43 with the exact words you have just heard. For the blanks numbered 44-46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. Now, listen to the passage.Adults are getting smarter about how smart babies are. Not long ago, researches learned that four day olds could understand addition and subtraction. Now, British research psychologist Gram Shaffer has discovered that infants can learn words or uncommon things long before they can speak. He found that nine month old infants could be taught through repeated show and tell to recognize the names of objects that were foreign to them, a result that challenges in some ways, the received wisdom that apart from learning to identify things common to their daily lives, child ren don’t being to build vocabulary until well into their second year. “It’s no secret that children learn words, but the words they tend to know are linked to specific situations in the home,” explains Shaffer. This is the first demonstration that we can choose what words the children will learn and that they can respond to them with an unfamiliar voice giving instructions in an unfamiliar setting. “Figuring out how human acquire language may shed light on why some children learn to read and write later th an others,” Shaffer says, “and could lead to better treatments for developed mental problems.” What’s more, the study of language acquisition offers direct insight into how humans learn. “Language is a test case for human cognitive development,” says Shaffer, “but parents eager to teach their infants should take note. Even without being taught new words a control group caught up with the other infants within a few months.” This is not about advancing development, he says, it’s just about what children can do at an earlier age than what educators have often thought.This is the end of Listening Comprehension.翻译题仍然围绕基本语法，句法，搭配做文章，说穿了，还是要考查考生的语言基本功。

stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored the need for better coordination in organizations. team management provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people, they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may notoccur naturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore, teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group ’ s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperation process within teams, must be organized, promoted and managed. he believes that team cooperation results when members go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. together, the team may then produce something new, unique, and superior to that of any one member. for this to happen, he suggests that the multicultural managers exhibit understandings of their own and others ’ cultural influences and limitations. they should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.问题 +答案：16.what should team members do to fully realizetheir potential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17.what needs to be considered for effective team management?b)what type of personnel the team should be composed of.18. what conclusion can we draw from what casey says?英语六级听力真题及d)a team manager should develop a certain set skills.passage 2mosaic was an overnight success. it was put on

The space tourism industry isofficially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration (NASA)，Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world?s first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS.Lance Bass of …N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions,believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle. Space AccommodationsRussia?s Mir space station was supposed to be the firstdestination for space tourists. But in March 2001，the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001, Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia?s cosmonaut (宇航员) training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC?s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:● Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure (基础结构)”that will resemble the Disc overy spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.”Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth?s.● According to their vision statement. Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousand of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and board dozen of different vehicles...”● Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won?t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city wouldallow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?The Most Expensive VacationWill space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, going to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the only vehicles that can takeyou into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload (有效载重) costs about $10,000 to put into Earth?s orbit.NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the VentureStar, that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. If the VentureStar takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.In 1998, a joint report from NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. The report concluded that a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year. While still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, “Isn?t that great—when do I get to go?” Well, our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angles.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

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 choices and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don’t !”. But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!21.According to the passage, the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is____.A）actors are very unusual peopleB）the course at the drama school lasts two yearsC）acting is really a hard jobD）there are already too many actors22.An assistant stage manager’s job is difficult because he has to ____.A）do all kinds of stage workB）work for long hoursC）wait for a better companyD）act well23.According to the context, the sentence “But yo ung actors with the stage in their blood are happy, ” at the end ofthe first paragraph means____.A）they don’t care if their job is hardB）they like the stage naturallyC）they are born happyD）they are easily satisfied24.Conie Pratt soon became a famous actress by____.A）learning some lessons about the art of speakingB）once playing her part in the “Blue Colored Moon”C）successfully matching the most famous actorsD）acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time25.The phrase “once in a blue moon” in last line refers to ____.A) all at onceB) once for a long timeC) once in a whileD) once and for allPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The traditional two-parents family is fast giving way in the America of the 1980s to households in which one adult must juggle the often enormous demands of making a living and raising children.For many, single parenthood is synonymous with economic need. More than 3 millionsingle-parent families live in poverty, according to the Census Bureau, and joblessness, plus cuts in public assistance, has helped drive up the number of poor children in such families by about 20 percent in just three years. The biggest burden falls on households that are headed by single mothers. Nearly half ofthese families are below the poverty as“ the most compelling social fact ”of the last 10 years.This deprivation is not only hard on its victims but expensive for taxpayers since single women and their offspring receive 40 to 80 percent of the benefits in various welfare programs that cost the government a total of 40 billion dollars a year. Despite cuts in benefits averaging 10 percent, rising number of eligible women are likely to keep the overall cost up, according to economist Alice Rivlin, former director of the Congressional Budget office.Fanning the single-parent spiral are two dramatic offshoots of the sexual revolution: divorce and unwed（未婚的）motherhood. The divorce rate has doubled in the last 15 years, and the number of illegitimate births has more than doubled to 700,000 annually. One tenth of white children and more than one half of black children are now born out of wedlock. What’s more, there is a strong tendency now for women and teenagers who have illegitimate children to keep them rather than put them up for adoption.Typical is Rufina Nera of Los Angeles.When she became pregnant at 15,abortion was never mentioned in her home.Instead,her mother encouraged her to have the child,says Nera,adding：“She even gave a baby shower for me.”Now, Nera shares a crowded bedroom with her 2-year-old daughter as well as her sister. She holds no hope of help from the father, although she remarked during the only time he saw the child that she was prettier than his other illegitimate baby. Even so, Nera tries to keep her attention on two goals: moving into her own apartment and getting enough education to become a secretary or a nurse. Her first step along that path is attendingRarnona High School, an ”opportunity school“ where she and 110 other girls study while their babies are car ed for in a nursery.26.What effect does joblessness and cuts in public assistance have on children of single-parent families?A) Another 3 million of them live in poverty.B) The number of them increased by about 20 percent in just three years.C) The number of them increased by about 3 percent in the 1980s.D) They were not affected at all.27.How much money do single women and their children get from welfare programs every year?A) 40 to 80 billion dollars.B) 16 to 40 billion dollars.C) 32 to 40 billion dollars.D) 16 to 32 billion dollars.28.We can come to the conclusion that ____.A) 60 percent of American children are now born illegitimatelyB) at least 50 percent of black children are now born illegitimately in Amer icaC) 60 percent of American children were born illegitimately in the 1960sD) at least 60 percent of American children were born illegitimately in the 1960s29.What will probably happen to most illegitimate children?A) They will be kept by their fathers.B) They will be kept by their grandparents.C) They will be kept by their mothers.D) They will be adopted by someone else.30.What does Nera do for the preparation for becoming a secretary or a nurse?A) She is working in a nursery.B) She is moving into her own apartment.C) She is studying in a high school.D) She is asking help from the father.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:In managing information resources, the medium may be the key to an effective system. The medium is a vehicle, a tool, or a container for holding information; the information itself is the thing of value.Three popular categories of information media are paper, films and electronic storage devices. The media choice must not be viewed as a choice among these three, however; it must be viewed as an opportunity to select from a multitude of media possibilities in combinations that build effective systems. In many instances the person responsible for information resource management is not the person who determines the medium in which information will be created. In such a case, the manager of a firm’s information resources faces a challenge in making a significant contribution to the organiza tion’ s objectives.For effective management of information resources, media conversion may be necessary. Examples include keying or scanning pager documents to convert them to electronic media. Other processes convert electronic media from one format to another. For example, disk files created on one system may not be compatible with another system. Various hardware and software combinations can be used to convert files to formats that equipment will accept. For information generated withinorganizations, this necessity of making systems compatible may be eliminated by cooperative planning. However, very little control can be exercised over the media used to generate information that comes to your organization from the outside. The medium for information may be selected to satisfy a need that exists when information is created and communicated. For example, a person record may be created because of its portability and because no special equipment is necessary for later references to that information; electronic transmission may be selected because it is the fastest means of communicating information. A firm may use electronic mail because a network already exists for on-line computer communication. The additional application may cost less than postage to mail paper memos.31.Which of the following can best sum up the passage?A) Media Selection in Managing Information Resources.B) The Importance and Necessity of Media Conversion.C) Three Categories of Information Media.D) Various Means of Communicating Information.32.The first paragraph aims at telling the reader____.A) the importance of information resources managementB) the relationship between the medium and informationC) the great variety of media for holding informationD) the numerous resources of information33.Which of the following statements is true according to the author?A) Paper is the best storage device.B) People have three choices in selecting information media.C) It is better to let the person responsible for information resource management determine media.D) The manager should build an effective system by selectinga good combination of different media.34.For effective management of information resources, the manager should ____.A) convert all paper documents to electronic mediaB) make media conversion when necessaryC) control the media used to generate information both inside and outside his organizationD) use one format in processing information35.The main idea of the last paragraph is that ____.A) paper record is the most convenient medium or later referenceB) electronic mail costs less than postage to mail paper memosC) different media for information may be selected for different purposesD) by using different media, a firm can create various information for its objectives Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The decline of traditional religion in the West has not removed the need for men and women to find a deeper meaning behind existence. Why is the world way it is and how do we, as conscious individuals, fit into the great scheme?There is a growing feeling that science,especially what is known as the new physics, provides answers where religion remains vague and faltering.Many people in search of a meaning to their lives are finding enlightenment in the revolutionary developments at the frontiers science.Much to the bewilderment of professional scientists,quasi-religious cults are being formed around such unlikely topics as quantum physics,space-timerelativity,black holes and the big bang.How can physics, with its reputation for cold precision and objective materialism, provide such fertile soil for the mystical? The truth is that the spirit of scientific enquiry has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 50 years. The twin revolutions of the Theory of Relativity, with its space-warps and timewarps, and the quantum theory, which reveals the shadowy and unsubstantial nature of atoms, have demolished the classical image of a clockwork universe slavishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway. Replacing this sterile mechanism is a world full of shifting indeterminism and subtle interactions which have no counterpart in daily experience.To study the new physics is to embark on a journey of wonderment and paradox, to glimpse the universe in a novel perspective, in which subject and object, mind and matter, force and field, become intertwined. Even the creation of the universe itself has fallen within the province of scientific enquiry.The new cosmology provides, for the first time, a consistent picture of how all physical structures, including space and time, came to exist out of nothing. We are moving towards an understanding in which matter, force, order and creation are unified into a single descriptive theme.Many of us who work in fundamental physics are deeply impressed by the harmony andorder which pervades the physical world. To me the laws of the universe, from quarks to quasars, dovetail（吻合）together so felicitously that the impression there is something behind it all seems overwhelming. The laws of physics are so remarkably clever that they can surely only be a manifestation of genius.36.The author says people nowadays find that traditionalreligion is ____.A) a form of reassuranceB) inadequate to their needsC) responding to scientific progressD) developing in strange ways37.Scientists find the new cults bewildering because they are ____.A) too reactionaryB) too subjectiveC) based on false evidenceD) derived from inappropriate sources38.Which phrase in paragraph 3 suggests that the universe is like a machine?A) Cold precision and objective materialism.B) The shadowy and unsubstantial nature of atoms.C) Slavishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway.D) Shifting indeterminism and subtle interactions.39.The new physics is exciting because it ____.A) offers a comprehensive explanation of the universeB) proves the existence of a ruling intelligenceC) incorporates the work of men of geniusD) makes scientific theorizing easier to understand40.The author of this passage is ____.A) a minister of religionB) a research scientistC) a science fiction writerD) a journalistPart ⅢVocabulary (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Please write your versions in space provided below the passage.For many young people, the late 1960s was a period of revolution against the moral values that had been the strength and pride of the past generations. They did not want to be hard-working and thrifty \[象前辈那样\]（71）. They rejected the idea that \[必须先尽义务后享受\]（72）, and that individuals must make sacrifices when it is necessary for the good of their children or of their community. They condemned patriotism as the cause of wars and rejected all forms of authority——［不论是政府中的，宗教团体中的，学校中的还是家庭中的］（73）. All these narrow ideas, they declared, were things of the past and had always been wrong anyway.It was a distressing time for their elders. Previously happy parents found themselves\[被他们的年轻造反派不看在眼里\]（74）, who accused them of \[太为钱操心\]（75）and too anxious to impress the neighbors. “True success,” the young people explained, “is not a matter of money or position. It’s a matter of self-fulfillment. And self-fulfillment consists of reaching one’s goals and achieving happiness in one’s way \[不用去理会任何约束、责任或别人的看法\]（76）. We do have a duty to ourselves that is more important than duty to others, even to our own children.”Most parents \[感到难以接受子女们的这种态度\]（77）. They themselves had been brought up to respect traditional values; they had also learned to respect money \[因为在他们的青少年时期钱来之不易\]（78）. They had married in the late 1930s or early 1940s at a time when it was explained again and again that an unhappy childhood produces emotionally disturbed adults. \[已婚夫妇的首要责任\](79), therefore, was to think of their children’s happiness. On the other hand, \[在爸爸妈妈做出牺牲的同时\](80), they expected their children to obey the rules of “nice” behavior, and to grow up into adults that parents can be proud of. These were precisely the ideas that the young rebels of the 1960s rejected.71.______72.______73.______74.______75.______76.______77.______78.______79.______80.______Part ⅤWriting (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Should Euthanasia Be Legalized?You should write at least 150 words, and base yourcomposition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1.安乐死应该合法化2.安乐死不应合法化3.我的观点2006年6月最新英语六级模拟题（3）答案Section A1.W: Tom, there is something wrong with my bike.
