1.社区Suggestions on Improving

Communication among the Community Members

Communication plays a significant role in our daily life, especially in modern society. Since we get along with other people in every field, we must learn how to communicate with people effectively.

Effective communication should be planned carefully. First, speak slowly and briefly in order

to

make

ourselves

understood

completely. Second, express ourselves in all sincerity and with warmth. Third, concentrate on what the speaker says and appreciate his point of view. Moreover, we should give positive feedback by nodding or smiling while listening. Fourth, place ourselves in the place of others.

We live in a world where people need depend on each other, so we must get along well with each other, especially in our community. I think we should improve communication among the community member.

First, we should help each other. Second, we should care for each other. Third, we should get together in our spare time. Finally, we should pay a visit to our neighbors. We should often chat with each other.

As far as I am concerned, I communicate with other people in a positive way whether I＇m in a merry mood or not. And I often express my own opinion genuinely and sincerely. In a word， we must do our best to deal with the relationship between people. 2.家庭传统The Most Valuable Tradition of My Family

There is a saying that happy families are the same while unhappy ones have their own misfortune.

In fact，I don‟t agree with it exactly. I hold the opinion that every happy family has its own character. And this is just like that different families have different traditions. Maybe you are eager to know whether my family is a happy one or not. Unfortunately，I will not tell you anything about directly.

What I am going to show you is just the tradition which I cherish most of my family. When I was young，my mother often attributes a lot of housework to me，such as washing dishes，cleaning rooms and so on. Once I was so mad that I said:” Hey，mum! Why do I have to do such chores. It is for girls but I am a boy!” “Oh，dear! You should be independent and both man and woman have the duty to do the work.” Mother said tenderly. “But why father didn‟t do it with me? He is older than me .Every time when I was busy doing the cleaning，he was watching TV. That is unfair. “ I complained .” Because your father has done such things since he was a child. And now he gets married，he doesn‟t have to do so. If you don‟t know how to du such things by yourself，you can never find a wife. Then you have to do the chores for your whole life.” “That is absolutely right. I can „t think out anything that is more shameful than without a wife.” Dad said seriously. From then on，I regarded independent as the most valuable quality of my life.

Of course，it is so easy for me to find such a talk is just a funny joke. But it is too late to discard the quality of being independent as it has been a habit of mine. And besides，I do have benefited a lot from the so-called independence. You never know what you will get，until you really do. I think that is what independence implies and so as what the tradition of my family holds.

3.成功因素Factors Contributing to the Success of

As we all know, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and rightly should have in their marketing consultants committee the best in the world. Bill Gates is the head of the software company Microsoft and one of the world's wealthiest men. Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft in the 1970s, though Allen left the company in 1983. Gates oversaw the invention and marketing of the MS-DOS operating system, the Windows operating interface, the Internet Explorer browser, and

a multitude of other popular computer products. Along the way he gained a reputation for fierce competitiveness and aggressive business savvy. During the 1990s rising Microsoft stock prices made Gates the world's wealthiest man; his wealth has at times exceeded $75 billion, making Gates a popular symbol of the ascendant computer geek of the late 20th century.

It is widely believed that some people are born lucky and successful, because they possess high intelligence. But this is not true. High intelligence is not equal to success. Success lies in not only the intelligence factors but also the non-intelligence factors. Non-intelligence factors are at least as important as intelligence factors, if not more than the latter. Success is built upon tremendous amount of study, practice and devotion. In addition, having a definite goal and knowing what to do next become more important. In fact, researchers have evidence that an intrinsic passion for one„s work is a key factor for success. According to my own experience, during our college years, having a good study habit is also important. Higher marks can„t be gained by putting in more hours. Efficiency in study can help us learn more.

Therefore, I think success is brought about both by innate intelligence factors and by non-intelligence factors.

4.学术诚信An Open Letter on Academic Integrity in China

In the illustration provided, authors of what should be unique articles peer over at their colleague‟s work. Plagiarism in academic studies is becoming a major problem worldwide, perhaps students are looking for inspiration, but more likely, they are stealing ideas and using these ideas as their own. It appears from this pictures that everyone is guilty of this crime. There is no start or finish to the cycle of plagirism.

Academic plagiarism is a problem that is not limited to one or two schools in the word.

One can only imagine that some form of academic is present everywhere. This process can occur innocently enough. One writer is looking for information on a certain topic and does not cite his work properly, the original author is forgotten, and credit is not placed where it is due.

I believe that this issue is a very serious problem

in

universities

today.

The

administration should do everything they can to stop plagiarism. This could include lecturing students on how to properly quote references, and also raising the penalities for those who are found guilty of plagiarism. 5.财富.幸福The Relationship between Wealth and Happiness

Which is more important ,health or wealth? This problem have brought hot debate. Wealth has always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labour. Their efforts contribute to the welfare of the society and at the same time to the accumulation of their wealth, and hence to their happiness.

There‟s no doubt that wealth brings happiness, especially in the modern society. But there‟re exceptions when wealth doesn‟t go hand in hand with happiness. Wealth may tempt weak-willed persons to be addicted to harmful habits, such as drug-taking and gambling, and result in their own ruin. Besides, a person may lose his even some government officials who take advantage of their positions to take bribes from the people turning to them for help. All these will bring about the negative effect of wealth if we don‟t take a proper attitude to it.

Different people have different views. Some people think that health is more important than wealth, money can't buy a healthy body. If people are not healthy, they can't work or study well. Health is the most important thing in the world, they think. But some people disagree with them ,they think wealth is the most important thing .without it ,people can't

do anything. Although it can't buy health，but if people are ill, It can buy the medicine .wealth can also help people lead a easy life .

I think, the first wealth is health .Once health is lost, it is no use having a lot of money. As far as I am concerned, I love wealth, but I value health more. Without health money becomes meaningless. no one agrees that a wealthy person without good health can be happy. So, just do our best and keep fit. On no account can we identify wealth with happiness. I also believe that one should never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness .

6.性别歧视Gender Discrimination in Job-Hunting

Recent years, more girl students on the campus perform as excellently as boys, some even superior, however, when they venture into the complicated society, they find themselves faced with many things different. Among them is sexism at work. It begins with the job interview. More vacancies are open only to males. Sometimes, females will be rejected just because of their sex. When females are lucky enough to be employed by a company, Women may do no less work but earn much less than men. Besides, women also hold less hope to be promoted. Unfortunately, they will barely have chances to display their talent. Eventually, only a few women succeed in winning high positions as well as high salaries. Common situation is that women are reduced to low positions and thus paid

In a society where human rights are strongly emphasized, it's terrible to see sexism demonstrated in almost every aspect of human life. All in all, equality between sexes is badly urged. Everybody, especially the victim of sexism at work, is looking forward to being treated equally.

7.现代技术利弊Modern Technology : Convenience or Problem?

The rapid development of science and technology has brought about great changes to human life. Nowadays, more and more hi-tech tools, such as calculator, computer, etc, appear in our daily life. We use them wherever and whenever we are, so that our life becomes easier and more comfortable than before.

However, does anyone think about what problems science and technology have caused to happen in this world? To some degree, it's more serious than that we consider. We human indeed use them to improve our living standard, but on the other hand, we are becoming lazier, more reliable than we used to be. All day long those hi-tech products accompany us, then we have either no space or time to think, as well, communication between each other decreases, and what takes place of it is the huge indifference and gap among human. the disadvantages about this development should not be neglected .Some of scientific inventions have even caused great harms or disasters to mankind. For example, advanced technology can be easily manipulated by irresponsible persons. Besides, we will be too dependant on it. When technology fails, we are helpless. Sometimes, it affects our health and life styles. The chemicals may be hazardous).What's

worse,

Science

and

technology may even destroy our simple and healthy life. In addition, the appearance of new technology may invade our privacy. To sum up, humans must be alert against the possible harm while enjoying the benefits from them.

8.失败是成功之母Is failure a good teacher? Everybody will have failure. Everyone know ，failure often accompany with us in our common life. No matter what we do，we all can not say we must be success. Because anything is not plain sailing.

The failure is a successful mother, if there is no failure, that will not have results to show an achievement. Really, the successful man is

very happy, they own fresh flowers, applause. But the person, who fail, own of only have lonesome with unfrequented. In fact, we should go to more honorific is those person of[with] failures. Because, there is failure, just

have results to show an achievement. Fail don„t mean you is a for failed, fail to just mean you haven„t succeeded; Fail don„t mean you a have no become, fail to mean you get experience; Fail don„t mean you are a stupid person who don„t know to improvise, failing to mean you have Attic faith; Fail don„t mean you have to has been suppressing not and quickly, failing to mean you take pleasure in trying…

In my opinion，I think failure is the footstone and catalyst of the edifice of success. If you never lost it，and always get it easily, and then you will not cherish what you get and own. It is true that failure is an important factor toward success. The way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles. Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure. And only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy. This is the failure, precious failure.

过度劳动An Open Letter on Death Caused by Overwork

Hardworking is the essential way to live a happy life. So through hundreds of years, hardworking and selfless dedication have always been a traditional Chinese virtue. But when suffering the stressful life, people always ignore the basic purpose of working. Along with the hyper-competitive society, workers have to shoulder overload of physical and mental labors. This kind of work does great damage to workers health. Especially in recent years, the phenomenon of over-working death appears repeatedly. The problem of over-working death is common to all societies. Many developed countries have lay down rules about this

problem. In China, however, the concept of over-working death is totally a new word and there are no laws on this phenomenon. Our economy develops fast but it also brings about many sharp problems that need to be solved urgently. For example, the study about over-working death is almost blank. So our scholars have to do more research on this problem, make the rules and laws of over-working in other countries as a reference, then adapt them to our society. The government should do more to perfect our legal system so that we can protect the basic rights of our workers. 工作和娱乐Work and play

Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. They are two important parts in people's life, but some times they are contradictory, whether we can balance them has much to do with our success.

As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions. What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don‟t spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day‟s pressure. On weekends, I‟ll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week‟s work-load.

Work and play are two important parts in people＇s life, but some times they are contradictory, whether we can balance them has much to do with our success.

Some people think that we should do more work, because everyone has a limited life, and we should make as many contributions as we can to society. Besides, we can acquire

more knowledge and gain more experience by hard work, which will help us a lot later in our life.

Others believe that we should spare enough time for play. There is a saying that all work and no play makes John a dull boy. Play makes people feel relaxed and free them from the stress of work.

In this sense, it is also beneficial to our health. So if we don＇t play, we can＇t work well. In my opinion, we should do more work when we are young be cause we are energetic, and we can spend more time playing and enjoying our life when we become aged. Of course, we should never overdo things and never indulge ourselves with play.

Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)

Section A

Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)

and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on

the Answer Sheet.(30%)

Passage One

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Container gardening is especially adapted to contemporary living. Plants in containers display great variety of form and texture. They can be used to create instant indoor gardens; they can be moved from one home to another and they can be moved outdoors in the summer and indoors during the cooler months.

Space is not a problem. Container gardening can be conducted in a single pot on a table or windowsill, in a more elaborate room divider, or in a built-in planter.

Just as there are many kinds of plants, there are many kinds of containers. Plants can be grown in any container that will hold a growing medium. The choice ranges from the common clay pot to cans, jars, boxes, baskets and tubs.

Most people select containers for both their practical and “esthetic qualities.” These include cost, availability, weight, strength, durability, attractiveness, and decorative and sentimental value.

The size and shape of the container should be consistent with the plant's size and shape. Tall, tapering plants are more attractive in tall, relatively narrow containers. Short, compact plants appear more at home in shallow, wide containers.

Particularly important considerations for good plant growth are the volume and depth of the container, and some provision for drainage. Containers that have drainage holes in the bottom for removal of excess water are best. Water-tight containers are difficult to manage; excess water will accumulate at the bottom of the container and injure plant roots by excluding oxygen.

Container volume and depth become critical in relation to the quantity of available water and nutrients.

Besides the right kind of container, some fundamental requirements for plant growth must be provided. Plants need light, water, nutrients, and a satisfactory temperature range.

Light is the most critical requirement. The levels of all the other requirements are adjusted in relation to the amount of light that plants receive. When plants don't have enough light, they grow slowly and become tall and thin; it becomes difficult to avoid overwatering them. Plants are easier to maintain in good condition when their light requirements are met.

11. This article is primarily about _______.

A) caring for indoor plants

B) growing tropical plants

C) making containers for plants

D) choosing appropriate containers for indoor plants

12.The expression

A) size and shape B) drainage and light

C) attractiveness and decorative value D) availability only

13. Many people believe that tall plants need_______.

A) extra water B) more nutrients

C) more sunlight D) enough warmth

14. The author implies that ________.

A) plants in containers have more variety of form

B) plants can drown if they are given too much water

C) most plants should be placed on windowsills during winter months

D) some plants are particularly fit for container gardening

15. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A) vegetables are easier to grow than flowering plants

B) plants generally grow slowly when kept indoors

C) most indoor plants live from three to five years

D) plants growing indoors need little care

Passage Two

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

The immune system is the body's defender. It identifies, tracks down, and destroys troublemakers before they can hurt the body. Those troublemakers may be, for example, bacteria from a cut or splinter, a measles germ, a cold bug, or even a cancer cell.

These invaders try to take over our tissues and feed off our bodies' nutrients. If they succeed, we become sick or, sometimes, even die. It's the job of our immune systems to destroy these invaders before they destroy us.

Say you picked up a flu virus(病毒) last week. Perhaps it entered your body through a cut, from a drinking glass, or from the air you breathe. Of course, you didn't feel it, but the virus made its way into your bloodstream. As soon as it entered your body, it began to reproduce. Viruses have only one goal; to take over your cells. Once inside your body, viruses try to enter cells and disrupt their normal work. If left alone, these viruses would hurt so many cells that you would weaken, or worse, get a serious illness.

But this flu virus should not be so complacent as it seems to be. As it reproduces in your bloodstream, the virus is met by a certain kind of white blood cell, the lymphocytes. The lymphocytes are the foot soldiers that keep you alive.

The number of lymphocytes in your body is hard to imagine. Thousands of them could fit in the period at the end of this sentence. Your body holds about a trillion-—that's 1,000,000,000,000 of them, or about 3,000 in every drop of blood. Since you began reading this sentence, over 800,000 of them have been created and destroyed.

Some of these lymphocytes pass through a small walnut-sized organ called the thymus. The thymus is the base of the neck. Here, special hormones （荷尔蒙) turn lymphocytes into fighting cells, called T cells.

T cells have one terrific talent: They can tell the difference between friend and foe; what should be in our bodies and what shouldn't. They do not affect the body's healthy cells. Yet they attack everything that is foreign to our bodies, such as germs, transplants, and even our own cells which have become abnormal, as in the case of cancer.

16. What is the function of our immune system?

A) To take over our tissues and feed off our body nutrients.

B) To prevent bacteria or germs from entering the body.

C) To destroy the troublemakers in order that they might not hurt the body.

D) To fight against T cells.

17. What does the word

A) Foot soldiers. B) Flu virus.

C) White blood cells. D) Troublemakers.

18. The last sentence in para 5

A) this sentences contributes to the increase of the number of lymphocytes in your body

B) you would not realize that lymphocytes reproduce themselves rapidly but for this sentence

C) because you read this sentence, a large number of lymphocytes have been consumed

D) the number of lymphocytes in your body is extremely large

19. Which of the following can NOT be detected by T cells?

A) Thymus. B) Transplants.

C) Cancer cells. D) Healthy cells.

20. Which of the following questions best summaries the main idea of the whole passage?

A) How does the immune system attack the flu virus?

B) How does the immune system function in our body?

C) How do the lymphocytes work in our body?

D) What is the so-called immune system?

Passage Three

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

American sports are quite distinct from those played elsewhere in the world. The top four spectator team sports are American football, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey. Baseball is the oldest among these sports. The professional game dates from 1869 and has no close rivals in popularity until the 1960s; though baseball is no longer the most popular sport, it is still referred to as the national pastime. Little boys play baseball in parks and empty lots, in streets and in alleys; and picnics all through the hot summer months include at least a few innings (回合) of baseball with boys and girls, young and old, taking turns at bat. Probably no American was very surprised to read in the newspapers that when a United States atomic submarine surfaced at the North Pole, the crewmen played a game of baseball.

Also unlike the professional levels of the other popular spectator sports in the U.S., Major League Baseball teams play almost every day from April to October. American football (known simply as “football” in the U.S.) now attracts more television viewers than baseball; however, National Football League teams play only 16 regular-season games each year, so baseball is the great leader in ticket sales. The really important professional players are members of the 24 teams in America’s two major baseball leagues. Each summer they are America’s national heroes. At the end of the season, when the two top teams play against each other to find the winner of the “World Series”, excitement and tension rise in cities all over the country. Fans make long trips to watch the games and to shout from their seats in the bleachers. Millions of others tune in on radio and television, sometimes making it a topic of conversation. And long after it is all over, baseball fans talk over the scores and the players, inning by inning, and the batting averages of the players this year compared to other years. (Batting averages show the percentage of times a player hits the ball effectively.)

The President of the United States is invited to start the season each year by tossing the ball into the first game in Washington D.C. — and he rarely fails to come.

21. What do we know about American baseball from the first paragraph?

A). Baseball is America’s most popular sport of all time.

B). Baseball is America’s national pastime of all time.

C). Baseball was not the most popular sport until the 1960s.

D). Basketball is more popular than baseball now.

22. Why was no American surprised when he / she read the crewmen of an atomic submarine

played a baseball game at the North Pole?

A). Because the crewmen like to play baseball at the North Pole.

B). Because the North Pole is a good place to play baseball.

C). Because Americans don’t care about the crewmen’s lives.

D). Because baseball is the national pastime, and many people enjoy it.

23. From the second paragraph, we learn that _________.

A). baseball attracts more television viewers than American football

B). many people buy tickets to watch baseball games each year

C). baseball teams play almost every day in April and October every year

D). baseball players are America’s national heroes

24. When the final game is played between the two top teams, ___________.

A). everyone stays at home to tune in on radio and television

B). rich people make long trips to watch the game

C). people seldom change their ideas about the game through conversation

D). many people in the country feel excited and nervous

25. A possible reason why the President of the United States is invited to start the season in Washington D.C. each year is that ___________.

A). the President likes baseball

B). people like the President

C). the President can show that baseball is a true American sport

D). the President was once one of the players of the Washington D.C. baseball team

Section B

Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passage carefully, then write your answers on the Answer Sheet.(10%)

People today all over the world are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the

problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by the release by man of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.

The whole industrial process, which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made more complex, there will be new dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some

cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizers cannot restore the balance.

Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more effort. Pollution and waste is a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.

26. What's the cause of the pollution?

27. Some waste products created by the industrial process lead to _______________

28．Of the wastes to be disposed of, the new and dangerous ones are from, for example, _______

29. What's the problem with the land?

30. How can we reduce pollution?

1. 虽然爱因斯坦认为没有必要参加任何宗教仪式，他也不属于任何一个正式的宗教团体，

但他是我知道的对宗教最虔诚的人。一次他对我说：―想法来自上帝。‖当他用尊敬的口吻说到上帝这个词的时候，别人能体会到它所包含的那份尊严。在普林斯顿大学数学大楼里的大理石壁炉上用德文隽刻着：―上帝是难以捉摸的，但他绝无恶意。‖这句话也可称作是爱因斯坦的科学信条。爱因斯坦用这句话暗示：科学家可能会发现他们的任务是多么地艰难，但绝不是毫无希望的。

2. 查理-达尔文的早期生活是一团糟。他讨厌上学，他父亲曾训斥道：―除了猎狗、捕鼠以

外，你整天无所事事，再这样下去的话, 你将成为自己与家庭的耻辱!‖他被送往格拉斯哥学医，但他一见血就几乎受不了。后来被送去神学院读书，也只是勉强毕业。于是，他放弃了所有事情，乘上了那艘著名的探险船比格尔号，开始了南海的旅程。在那次航海中，历史上其中最伟大的一个科学家诞生了。就是在这里，他为那本给生物科学带来巨大革命的书——《物种起源》收集了资料。

3. 人们认为伟大的作家都是天生的，而非后天努力所为，但这儿又有许多极为有趣的例外。

威廉福克纳在五年级曾辍学，在乡村里游荡，当过房屋粉刷匠和洗碗工．他曾经尝试着上大学，但由于大一时英语考试不及格而辍学。他在密西西比州一个小镇上当过邮政局所长，但由于混淆了邮件，并按自己的意愿规定下班时间而激怒了民众。

1. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrates on anything. But television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification. It diverts us only to divert, to make time pass without pain.

2. You and your parents can stop worrying – Pasteur, Edison, Darwin and lots more were far from being geniuses in their teens. History books seldom mention it, but the truth is that many of our greatest figures were practically ―beatniks‖ when they were teenagers. They were given to daydreaming, indecision, and they showed no promise of being doctor, lawyer, or Indian chief.

3. The world was built by men and women whose parents worried that they would ―never amount to a hill of beans‖. You don’t hear too much about their early failure because parents prefer to cite more inspiring examples.

Section A

1. 我把这种飞速增长的财富和不断萎靡的精神称之为―美国矛盾‖。这种情况现在甚于以往任何时候：我们得到了大房子，但却换来了家庭的破裂；我们得到了高收入，但却降低了道德水准；我们得到了有保障的权利，但却渐渐失去了礼仪。我们善于谋生，但却往往不会营造生活。我们庆祝取得的成功，但却感到缺乏目的。我们珍视个人的自由，但却又渴望着与他人交流。在这个物质财富充裕的时代，我们感到精神上的饥渴。

2. 高兴是别的事情的副产品，其最显而易见的来源是那些赋予我们生活以目的的追求---任何事情，从研究昆虫到打棒球。我们的激情越多，我们有可能体验的高兴就越多。最后，要相信有一种永恒的东西超越我们，我们的存在有着某种更广大的意义，这种信念能帮助我们更加高兴。我们需要一种精神信仰或者一种人生哲学。不管你的哲学是什么，它应该包括这个自明之理：如果你决心去发现每种情况的积极面（事实上都有），你就会得福；如果你决心去发现其消极面，你就会遭殃。如对高兴本身一样，这主要取决于你自己。

3. 从某种奇妙意义上讲，当我们失去了一些东西时反而感到更加完整。一个拥有一切的人其实在某些方面是个穷人。他永远也体会不到什么是渴望、期待以及对美好梦想的感悟。人生不是上帝为谴责我们的缺陷而给我们布下的陷阱。人生也不是一场拼字游戏比赛。不管你拼出多少单词，一旦出现了一个错误，你便前功尽弃。人生更像是一个棒球赛季。即使最好的球队比赛也会输掉1/3，而最差的球队也有春风得意的日子。我们的目标就是多赢球，少输球。

Section B

1. The other day, Mr. LinYutang said something to the effect that women’s only career lies in

matrimony. Now, an eminent French writer declared at a press interview after arriving in Shanghai that men should stay bachelors if they want to achieve success in life. Marriage or no marriage, which is more desirable? That sounds like the chicken-and-egg question, which, though often discussed, remains a perpetual puzzle.

2. Our parenting styles complement each other. His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to worry about washing their hands, eating vegetables, or getting cavities. My style is similar to Mussolini. I'm too busy worrying to be fun. Besides, every time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.

3. If good friends fell from the sky like raindrops, I'd turn my umbrella upside down and have all that I need. But friends do not come to us that way, instead they shoot up through the ground from a tiny seed of common interest, are cultivated with good times and grow into a beautiful flower to enjoy that continues to bloom as long as it is cared for. These flowers of friendship are gathered into a fragrant bouquet that enhances the world around us and are meant to be enjoyed by ourselves as well as to bring cheer or comfort to others.

英译汉：

1. 我们所生活的这个时代，是人类历史上思想与价值充满革命性变化的一个时代。在这样的时代背景中，我们必须从自身寻找生活所需的思想、信仰与理想。除非我们找到这些理想，并恪守它们，否则当面临世人都会遇到的危险时，我们根本无力抗争。

2. 为崇高的理想而活着是一种成功的生活。使人变强大的，不是这个人做了什么，而是他努力尝试去做什么。有人说过，―恒久的警惕是自由的代价‖，那同样也可以说，―不懈的努力是成功的代价。‖倘若我们不尽全力工作，别人会尽全力，随后他们将在竞争中超越我们，从我们手中夺取胜利的果实。成功越来越不依赖于运气和巧合。丧失自信是我们失败的主要原因

3. 棋盘宛如世界：一个个棋子仿佛世间的种种现象：游戏规则就是我们所称的自然法则。竞争对手藏于暗处，不为我们所见。我们知晓，这位对手向来处事公平，正义凛然，极富耐心。然而，我们也明白，这位对手从不忽视任何错误，或者因为我们的无知而做出一丝让步，所以我们也必须为此付出代价。

汉译英：

1．What is the significance of life? Is there any gauge to measure it? It would be very difficult, of course, trying to advance an absolute standard. However, the significance of one’s existence can more or less be evaluated by his attitude toward life and work.

2. One of the most important habits in life is to feed your mind with positive mental food. Remember, you are very susceptible to the suggested influences in your environment, whether radio, television, newspapers, magazines, billboards or conversations with other people. Your mind is your most important and precious asset. You must protect it and keep it clean, clear and focused on what you want, rather than allowing it to be polluted by the negative influences around you.

3. To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist: aware of both one's strength and shortage. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges, but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.

A.将下列句子译成汉语

俄亥俄州辛辛那提市市中心是保洁公司的总部所在地，从这里，我们可以预见信息技术的未来。作为一家拥有166年历史的肥皂、快餐生产商，保洁公司今年的外包项目不仅涉及IT基础设施管理，还包括搬迁服务和员工福利管理的商业流程。

灵活的工作方式恰当地标示了组织公司的多种方法，它可以使公司更有效地运作。然而，它的含义远不是仅仅在家里工作。诸如家庭式工作、远程式工作，以及近期出现的远距离流动式的工作等概念，都是―灵活工作‖的形式。许多公司已经成功地采用了这些工作方式，尽管开始时经常遭到一些中层管理者的抵制，因为他们担心失去对员工的控制。

假如你失业了，找人帮你仔细分析原因。对你的技能和经验进行评估，积极推销自己，设法找到适合自己的比较满意的工作——即使薪水有所减少、职务有所降低也没关系。无论你有没有工作，最重要的求知规则是完全一样的：要聪明机敏和坚持不懈地打造长久的合作伙伴关系，恪守不屈不挠的职业道德。不要坐等天上掉馅饼；要自己去创造就业机会。

B. 将下列句子译成英语。

1. It showed that in China, a mainly pork-eating country, beef consumption was rising steadily.

It was being fostered by the changing meal choices of increasingly affluent Chinese, and Government promotion of the health benefits of beef over fatty pork. In 1991, China’s annual consumption of beef per person was just under one kilogram. By 1996 it had grown to 2.94kg and was now 3.5kg.

2. In modern times, the English pub often continues to function as the communal meeting place,

especially for people whose homes are too small to entertain any number of guests or friends. In many Asian countries, the local restaurant serves a similar social function. Now people around the world are able to experience the friendly nature of the Irish pub, which follows in the wake of its English equivalent as a welcome and growing export.

3. During times of great crisis, human beings typically turn to one of two strategies: fight or

flight. There is, however, a third strategy: learning and deep change. It is based on the principle that all events, especially the most tragic, are ripe with opportunities for learning. We can enhance our future security by learning more about our society’s complexities.

近年汉译英试题

2004 年1 月 考研的人在英语上花的时间远远多于其它学科，希望英语分数越高越好。许多人 坚信成功地秘诀是参加短训班和多背范文，结果却发现此招不灵。他们为提高英 语水平做出的努力很难得到回报。 参考译文： Those who take the entrance examination for graduate schools spend much (/far) more time on English than on other subjects, hoping for the highest possible scores of English. Many people are convinced that the secret to success is to attend training courses (/classes) and learn many sample writings by heart, only to find that doesn’t work. Their efforts to improving their English can’t pay off easily.

2004 年6 月 计算机被认为是有史以来对人类生活影响最大的发明。它的神奇之处在于其运算 速度和准确性优于人类。计算机能在几秒钟内完成几十年前可能需要数天才能完 成的事。这是人类第一次感到自己作为最高级物种的地位受到了挑战。 参考译文： The computer is believed (/regarded /considered) to be the invention that has exerted the greatest influence on human lives in history. What is remarkable about it is that it can calculate with better speed and accuracy than man. The computer can finish in seconds what might have taken days decades ago. This is the first time that man has felt that his position (/status) as the highest species has been challenged.

2005 年1 月 人们越来越意识到开发环保型产品的重要性。为实现长期可持续发展，发达国家 不惜代价减少温室气体的排放。如果目前全球变暖的速度保持不变，东京和伦敦 等大城市从地球上消失的可能性将是20 前的10 倍。 参考译文： People have become increasingly aware of the importance of developing environmentally friendly (pollution-free) products. For the sake of longstanding sustainable development, developed countries are to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases at any cost. If the current rate of global warming continues, big cities, such as Tokyo and London, are ten times more likely to disappear from the earth as twenty years ago.

2005 年6 月 人人都有追求幸福的权利，但对幸福的定义却因人而异。绝大多数人认为幸福来 自于健康的身体、愿望的实现和事业有成。正如经常发生的那样，许多人在遇到 痛苦时才意识到幸福的真正含义。 参考译文： Everyone has the right to pursue happiness (to the pursuit of happiness), yet (/but) definitions of happiness vary from person to person (are quite individualistic). Most people agree that happiness stems from good health, fulfillment of a desire and a successful career. As often happiness (is often the case), many people don’t recognize (realize) what happiness really means (the real meaning of happiness) until they are distressed (agonized / in agony).

2005 年12 月 没有盼头的日子是苍白而且不可想象的。人，得天天有点什么盼头，生活才不 至于黯淡。有了盼头，会觉得太阳每天都是新的。土地去掉水分，就成了沙漠； 人没了盼，还剩什么？小盼头支撑人的一天，大盼头支撑人的一生。 参考译文： A day without hope would be unimaginably pale (/dull). There must be something to look forward to each day to keep it out of shadows. To a person cherishing hopes every morning rises a new sun. Deprived of water, soil turns into desert. Deprived of hope, what is left to a man? A small hope sustains you for a day, a great one for a lifetime.

2006 年6 月 2007 年1 月 该法案旨在对美国中小学进行教育改革，并使所有儿童有机会得到高质量的教 育。最终目标是确保无一人落后。由于此法案的实施，学校有更多的灵活性把资 源用于最急需的地方。父母更多地参与孩子的教育。 参考译文： This act is intended (designed / aims) to introduce education reform in America’s elementary and secondary schools

and give all children the access to high-quality education. The ultimate goal is to ensure that no one is left behind. As a result of the implementation of this act, schools enjoy more flexibility to use resources where they are needed most. Parents can get more involved in the child’s education. 2007 年6 月 中国可持续发展所依赖的有限的自然资源正在锐减。一方面是生产规模在不断扩 大，消耗更多的能源；另一方面是缺少能高效利用能源的生产设备。这迫使我们 思考如何为后人留下足够的环境空间以使他们实现的愿望。 参考译文： The limited natural resources on which China’s sustainable development depends (relies) are declining sharply. On the one hand, the expanding scale of production leads to (results in) increased consumption of energy. (the scale of production keeps expanding, consuming more energy.) On the other hand, production facilities (equipment) that can utilize energy efficiently are lacking. That (This) forces us to think about how to leave enough environmental space to future generations (our offspring) so that they can fulfill their aspirations.

2008 年1 月 根据最新统计， 67%的美国人能上网， 该比例是中国的6 倍。 尽管互联网作用 巨大， 但许多问题远远没有解决， 如：病毒侵入和信息安全。 即使这些问题 最终有可能得到解决， 也需要艰辛的努力和多年时间。 参考译文： According to the latest statistics, 67 percent of the U.S. population have access to the Internet, a percentage six times that of China (as large as China’s). Despite the influential (huge) role of the Internet, many problems (issues) are far from settled (solved), such as the invasion (attack) of viruses and information security. Even if it is possible to find final (eventual) solutions, it will take painstaking efforts and many years.

2008 年6 月 中国一直有重视教育的传统，尤其是儿童的教育。许多家长让孩子参加各种培训 班，以增加被理想中学录取的可能性。但专家们指出，保持儿童对科学的好奇和 兴趣有助于其智力发展。一个没有创造力和想象力的儿童很难有所作为。 参考译文： Traditionally, the Chinese people have attached importance to education, especially the education of children. Many parents have their children attend various training courses to increase their chance of being admitted by the ideal / expected high schools. Experts, however, point out that keeping children curious about and interested in science will facilitate their intellectual development. A child without any creativity and imagination can hardly go very far.

2009 年1 月 中国学生在英语上花的时间比其他学科多得多，原因是英语需要泛读、机械记忆 和经常复习。老师让学生做大量涉及多项选择的练习，结果忽视了培养主动使用 英语的能力。这种应试教育方式有利也有弊。 参考译文： Students in China spend much more time on English than on other courses (/subjects), for it requires (demands /calls for) extensive reading, mechanical memorization and regular revision. Teachers have students do a lot of exercises involving ( / that involve) multiple choices, only to neglect (ignore) the cultivation (development) of the ability to use English actively. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this test-oriented teaching approach. (This test-oriented teaching approach has both advantages and disadvantages.)

2009 年6 月 在中国，拿硕士学位通常需要三年时间。第一年积累足够的学分后，学生接着在 后两年完成毕业论文。论文要有一定学术价值，还要反映学生的科研能力。人们 越来越重视学术诚信，这将有助于提高科学界的道德标准。 参考译文： In China, it usually takes three years to get a master’s degree. After accumulating (/having accumulated) enough credits in the first year, students will proceed (/go on) to complete (/finish) a thesis in the last two years. Not only does this thesis have to be of some academic value, but reflect (/embody/demonstrate) the student’s ability in (/ to do) scientific research. The increasing weight (/emphasis) placed on

academic integrity (/honesty/credibility) will contribute to higher moral standards in the scientific community (/field).

2010 年1 月 生产相同数量的电，中国消耗的能源是世界平均水平的4 倍。从本世纪初开始， 增产节能已成为中国政府最关注的事情之一。任何一个国家，不论是中国还是美 国，只有为子孙的利益着想才有可能实现可持续发展。 参考译文： To produce (/generate) the same amount of electricity, China consumes four times as much energy as the world average (/the consumption of energy in China is four times the world average / China consumes three times more energy than the world average). Since the outset (/ turn / beginning) of this century, increasing productivity while conserving energy has been one of the utmost (/biggest) concerns of the Chinese government. No country, be it (/whether it be) China or the United States, can achieve sustainable development without taking into consideration (/account) the interest of future generations (/the offspring) (/unless the interest of the offspring is taken into consideration.

2010 年6 月 电信的高速发展使手机成为中学生的宠儿。尽管手机有很多功能，但会对青少年 学习成绩产生一些负面影响，如考试作弊、课堂不注意听讲。此外，经常使用手 机减少了面对面交流，而长期接触手机辐射还会造成记忆力下降或增加患脑瘤的 概率。 参考译文： The fast/rapid development of telecommunications has made the cell/mobile phone popular among /a favorite of high school students. Despite /In spite of its multiple /many functions, the cell phone has some negative /adverse effect on the academic performance of teenagers, such as cheating on a test or distraction (/lack of attention /lack of concentration /a shortened attention span) in class. Besides (Moreover), regular use of a cell phone ends up with (/results in) less face-to-face communication while chronic exposure to the radiation from the cell phone can lead to (/result in/cause) the decline of memory or increase the chance (possibility/odds/prospect) of developing a brain tumor (/cerebroma/ encephaloma).

Passage one

November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. This day was recognized by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1999 with a view to raising public awareness of violations of the right of women. Why was this step necessary?

In many cultures women are viewed and treated as inferior or as second class citizens. problem, even in the so-called developed world. According to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan,”violence against women is global in reach, and takes place in all societies and cultures. It affects women no matter what their race, social origin, birth or other status may be.”

Radhika Coomaraswamy, UN expert of the Commission on Human Rights on violence against women, says in his report that for the vast majority of women, violence against women is “a taboo issue, invisible in society and a shameful fact of life.” Statistics issued by a victim study institution in Holland indicate that 23 percent of women in one South

Amercian country, or about 1in 4, suffer some form of domestic violence. Likewise, the Council of Europe estimates that 1 in 4 European women suffer domestic violence during their lifetime. According to the British Home Office in England and Wales in one recent year, an average of two women each week were killed by current or former partners. The magazine India Today International reported that “for women across India, fear is constant companion and rape is the stranger they may have to confront at every corner, on any road, in any public place at any hour”. UN experts described violence against women and girl as “today’s most serious human rights challenge.”

Passage Two

When you think of monkeys, you probably think of the Tropics. Few species of monkeys venture into temperate lands. Nevertheless, there are one or two notable exceptions.

In the high Atlas Mountains of North Africa, where snowfall is common during the winter, small groups of Barbary apes roam through forests of cedar and oak. One isolated group of these monkeys can be found 200 miles to the north, living on the Rock of Gibraltar, at the southern most tip of Europe.

How do naturalists explain this mystery? Some believe that the monkeys colonized other areas of Europe in the distant past and that those of Gibraltar are the only surviving group. Others think that Arabic or British colonizers brought them to the Rock. Legend has it that the monkeys crossed the narrow straits dividing Europe from Africa by means of a long-lost underground tunnel. Whatever their origin, they are now the only free range monkeys. The Barbary apes inhabit the pine woods that cover the upper part of the Rock. Although they number only a hundred or so, they have become “the peninsula’s most famous resdents,” according to the International Primate Protection League.

Since seven million tourists visit Gibraltar every year, the mischievous monkeys have an ample food supply. Although they feed on wild plants, they have become skilled at begging and occasionally stealing food from visitors. Local authorities also provide the monkeys with fruit and vegetables.

Apart from feeding, the monkeys spend 20 percent of their day Both male and females monkeys care for and play with the young ones. They live in close knit groups, where stress sometimes leads to confrontation. While the older monkeys use threats and screams to chase away the younger ones, they also have an unusual tooth-chattering behavior that seems to calm them down.

Their arrival on Gibraltar may remain a mystery; still, these sociable monkeys add a special charm to the limestone headland that guards the entrance to the Mediterranean sea. Gibraltar would not be the same without them.

57. The monkeys on the Rock of Gibraltar are special because __________.

A. they live in tropic areas

B. they inhabit temperate lands

C. they live in forests

D. they came from North Africa

58. Which of the following is NOT the possible origin of the Gibraltar monkey?

A. They may be the surviving group of European.

B. they may have been brought ot Gibraltar by colonizers.

C. they may have come from Africa through the long- lost tunnel.

D. they may have swum across the narrow straits from Africa.

59. The population of “the peninsula’s most famous residents” __________.

A. is growing rapidly

B. outnumbers the local people

C. is threatened by too many visitors

D. is about five scores

60. We canlearn from the 5th paragraph that Gibraltar monkeys __________.

A. mainly feed on food from visitors

B. often threaten local tourists

C. are very naughty

D. are raised by the local authorities

61. The word “grooming” in the 6th paragraph is closest in meaning to “__________”.

A. cleaning B. biting C. fighting D. isolating

62. According to the passage, __________.

A. Gibraltar would be better without the monkeys

B. the monkeys heve added beauty to the Rock of Gibraltar

C. Gibraltar monkeys and those in the high Atlas Mountains are of different species

D. the older Gibraltar monkeys are very fierce to the younger ones

Passage three

Which would you give up: TV, Cell, or Web? From November 6 to December 3, a 1-question online poll was placed on high-traffic websites in 15 countries(Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Gndia, Italy, N etherlands, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, United States). A total of 150 respondents in each country participated in the poll. In this global survey, 11 of 15 countriessay they’d turn off the TV berfore they’d silence their cell phone or log off the Internet. Women,especially, will give up their favorite shows, voting to do so by a greater percentage than men in all but four countries. “I work 50-plus hours a week, and more importantly, the programs I watch on TV are free on the web.” Paula Kress of Georgia explains why she’d give up on TV.

Younger respondents are more likely to take a pass on television, but older folks don’t necessarily stay stay away from the online experience. In Singapore, not a single person over 45 voted to stop surfing. “I’m not much for sitting in front of the screens, but I need the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family.” Hanna Larna explains why she’d keep the web and ditch TV.

In the United States, people vited to give up TV, yet Americans sit in front of the flat screen for an average of four hours, 37minutes a day. But if the decision had been made by In Canada people voted to give up the cell. The cost effect analysis shows that people there pay some of the highest rates for their cell phone plans, which may be why they have the lowest number of cell users among the western countries polled. “I don’t want to be reachable at every moment.”is another logical explanation.

Why was Brazil the only country to pick the Internet (and by such a huge margin)? Brazil has some of the lowest rates of Internet use worldwide, with just 35 users per 100 people.(The U.S. and U.K. both have 72.) Brazil’s cost to hook up is also high, about $26a month, compared with $7.4in Germany.

63. what is the most important reason for Paula Kress to give up TV?

A. she doesn’t have time to watch TV.

B. she doesn’t like sitting in front of screens.

C. she can watch TV programs on the web.

D. she finds online programs more interesting.

64. Survey results in Singapore show that __________.

A. women watch TV programs for a longer period of time than men

B. men depend as much on cell phones as women do

C. younger people use cell phones more than older people

D. older people enjoy the Internet just like the younger ones

65. Which of the following phrases is closest in meaning to “get the boot”(Para. 3)?

A. be dismissed B. catch on C. be favored D. become dominant

66. It is implied that among the Americans polled, there were more __________.

A. men B. women C. younger people D. older people

67. How many countries picked the cell phone in the survey?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

68. In the last paragraph, the author mainly __________.

A. describes the findings in the Brazilian survey

B. discusses the gap between Brazil and the western world

C. presents the reasons behind the Brazilian decision

D. analyzes the development of the Internet in Brazil

Passage four

Today, world leaders are discussing climates change and what—if anything—can be done to combat global warming. Extreme weather conditions have brought home the fact that our climate is changing—and changing fast. It may be easy to be fatalistic about it, but the truth is that although we humans have caused the problem, we also have the solution. “Think global and act local,”said Friends of the Earth founder David Bower. In many small but important ways we can make a difference. Here are my top tips for how to begin:

Count your food miles. What you eat and where you buy it affects global emissions. Pollution from transport is the fastest growing source of carbon dioxide emissions, so it is madness to fly out-of-season vegetables across the world to supermarkets. We should lobby supermarkets for a system of classifying food according to the distance travelled: 0 for local food, 1 for British, 2 for Europe, and 3 for intercontinental.

Turn off anything that winks at you. A video recorder on standby uses almost as much electricity as one playing a tape. Turning down the thermostat by one degree, not leaving TV and music centres on standby, turning off lights,putting lids on cooking pots, and only half-filling kettles can cut energy consumption by 30%, saving your money as well as saving the planet.

Just stop using petrol. Yes you can, and the cr industry may help you. Hydrogen-powered cars are loved by car designers and could become a reality in about 10 years. Meanwhile, consider converting to liquefied petroleum gas(LPG). You won’t be alone: a new pump for this is opening every day. Meanwhile, you can cut down on conventional petrol use just by changing driving habits—no rapid acceleration, lower speeds, keeping tires at the right pressure.

Well, you can always walk. Or cycle. The majority of car journeys are less than five miles and, honestly, once you’ve stepped out, you’ll find it’s really not that bad. The only

energy used is your own and that’s healthy. You only have th look at the collective strength of the people’s fuel lobby to know this maked sense.

These changes will save you money which you should invest in an ethical saving account. They are profitable and they put the pressure on business to clean up its act.

69. In the first paragraph, the author tries to emphasize __________.

A. his concern over climate change

B. his optimism in finding a way out

C. the necessary of global actions

D. the difficulty in reaching an agreement

70. Which conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 2 ?

A. Centralized distribution of food is highly efficient and cost-effective.

B. Organic food from abroad is better than food produced locally.

C. Supermarkets do a great job of offering a wide selection of goods.

D. It’s better for us consumers to shop in local farmers’ markets.

71. In Paragraph 3 the author tries to convey the message that __________.

A. small changes in small habits can make big differences

B. it is not easy for us to reduce energy consumption at home

C. the present way of using energy leaves much to be desired

D. we individuals may not help much in fighting global warming

72. At presen, to replace petrol-driven cars, people may choose cars driven by _______. A, electricity B. LPG C. hydrogen D. biofuel

73. For most of the car journeys, walking or cycling __________.

A. is a waste of time B. is undesirable

C. is a feasible option D. is what people prefer

74. The passage is focused on __________.

A. the passage of climate change on people’s lives

B. the importance of individuals improving the environment

C. the benefits of cutting energy consumption

D. the small ways that can help fight global warming

Passage five

Some years ago, thumping, jumping noises routinely issued from the apartment upstairs as if baby elephants were competing in the 50-year dash. I went up one day to politely inquire. “No, nobady’s making noise here” the husband and wife both insisted. It must be coming from elsewhere in the building.” Two children about five years old, each holding soccer balls, stood right beside their parents. “Could the thumping be your kids running around, perhaps playing soccer?”, I asked. “Oh no, we never let the kids play in the house.”

For monhs, the pattern continued: the thumping and jumping above, our delicate check-in, the denial. It got so that every time I saw the couple, I glared without a word of greeting. When they moved out of the building, the thumping stopped.

I suppose I could have forgiven my neighbors and spared them the glare. After all,

forgiveness is in, a trend advocated by best-selling books, foundations and research institutes. The notion has gone well beyond spiritual leaders advising that forgiveness is good for the soul and that hard feelings will turn us bitter and hostile. Now the medical community cites studies showing that forgiveness can prevent heart attacks, lower blood pressure and even ease depression.

I may be outnumbered, but I still believe in the healing power of the grudge(不满). I’ve deployed grudges with an equal-opportunity sense of fairness—against teachers and classmates,bosses and colleagues, family and friends. I’ve chosen to stop speaking to certain people permanently and occasionally even spoken ill of them—but more with disbelief than a sense of revenge. I’m neither proud nor ashamed. But I’ve discovered that nothing feels quitea as satisfying as a grudge well nursed.

I’m not against forgiveness itself, I have forgiven people for rudeness as well as for deep misunderstandings and have done so without holding on to hard feelings. What I deplore is the propaganda about forgiveness. No longer an option, forgivensess is an official order. Forgiving so democratically cheapens the very act.

A long standing grudge suggests that we hold certain standards, that we respect ourselves enough to reject bad behavior. Failure to forgive can be just as righteous, just as honorable as forgiveness itself.

75. The author would probably describe the neighbors as __________.

A. careless B. dishonest C. ignorant D. immodest

76. Paragraph 3 is focused on __________.

A. how forgiveness is good for us spiritually and physically

B. how forgiveness has become a fashionable concept

C. what has changed people’s understanding of forgiveness

D. what is the true meaning and virtue of forgiveness

77. By “I may be outnumbered”(Para. 4), the author means that most people in her situation would probably __________.

A. tell people how bad the neighbors are

B. refuse to speak to the neighbors

C. try to practice forgiveness to the neighbors

D. ask the neighbors for an explanation

78. The author seems _________ what she always does with grudges.

A. ashamed of B. proud of C. satisfied with D. disappointed with

79. It can be learned that the author __________.

A. has great difficulty forgiving people

B. regrets failing to practice forgiveness

C. wants to learn how to forgive people

D. opposes “forgiveness without principle”

80. The best title for the passage is __________.

A. To Forgive is God B. The Right Not to Forgive

C. Forgiveness in, Grudge out D. The Power of Forgiveness

Section A 英译汉：

参考译文：

沙漠化是由人为因素和气候变化造成的，是土地退化的一个过程。过度开垦和落后的灌溉方法等人类活动正在把需要几百年才能形成的肥沃土壤变成贫瘠的地块。由于缺乏可持续使用土地的方法，贫困农民只好开垦退化的土地，结果却导致恶性循环，所以说解决农村贫困问题是抗击沙漠化的关键。只要促使水土不断流失的环境力量存在，任何一个长期扶贫战略都不会成功。根据目前对气候变化的预测，如果促成气候变化的因素得不到解决，干旱引发的困难和人类遭受的损失就有可能增加。

Section B汉译英：

参考答案：

Over the past few years, the price of housing in some parts of Beijing has quadrupled (increased fourfold / four times), making (rendering) it impossible for many of the young to buy (afford) a house in an ideal neighborhood / making a house in an ideal neighborhood unaffordable for many of the young / so that many of the young can’t afford a house in an ideal neighborhood. Whatever the reason (cause), the high price of housing is likely to increase (add to) the financial pressure on parents. The ordinary people can do nothing about it but voice (express) their dissatisfaction (discontent). Fortunately, there are data that suggest that the effort of the central government to bring the price of housing under control is beginning to work (produce effect).

评分建议：

1. 第1句应该用完成时翻译。“翻两番”的英文是quadruple（字典的解释是increase fourfold），

是超纲词汇，可用increase或rise等词翻译，但不能说increase (by) three times（是原来的三倍，相当于triple）。表达倍数时，，汉语思维有时不灵。

2. …making sb. difficult / impossible to do sth.是严重错误，建议扣分。也可用定语从句翻译。

使用逗号时，后面不宜用this或that之类词。

3. 把“小区”翻译为community也可接受。

4. “不论什么原因”也可翻译成for whatever reason。

5. “很可能”不能翻译成…is probable to do sth.或is quite possible to do sth.，建议多扣分。

6. “对„„采取行动”常用介词about，不宜用with或for。此外，…can do nothing…but to

do…/ doing也要酌情扣分。

7. 注意“不满”的英语单词形式，错误使用unsatisfactory或dissatisfied等形式要扣分。

戒严与其说是个人的选择, 不如说是对自己毅力的考验, 因为人们普遍认为吸烟是上瘾的. 尽管专家的建议和药物疗法确实能增加永久戒严的可能性, 但是避免这种困境的最好的方法就是不要涉猎吸烟.

吸烟的负面影响在各个程度上是不同的, 它与吸烟的数量以及烟龄的长短, 还有开始吸烟的年龄有关. 这份报告向以下观点提出了质疑, 这种观点认为吸烟几年不会产生永久的危害性的后果. 我们希望阻止这种普遍的但是却是生死攸关的习惯, 并且提醒大家戒烟的时间越长, 和吸烟有关的健康问题就会大幅度地减少.

It is increasingly realized that ( There is a growing realization /awareness that ) developing environment-protecting products really count.

聪明的人懂得整个人生布局中的一切事物各归其位。他懂得金钱和财富市手段却不是目的。他知道一时的欢愉有别于持久的满足， 伟大有别于成名，虔诚有别于迷信， 文学艺术领域乃至整个人生的实力有别于做秀。他知道人生命运躲不过邪恶，人生必有所失， 疾病和死亡必会临到我们。

社会的进步使人们摆脱了繁重的工作，并有时间和余暇发展个性。随着社会的进步，实际上是由于社会的进步，目前中产家庭期望其每一成员发展独特的个性，每一个人也在某种程度上期望发展自己的独特个性。家庭担负的新责任是为发展独特个性创造环境，结果使家人很难达成共识，有时甚至不可能达成共识。对于一个由迥异的个人组成的小群体来说，最棘手的是在同一房檐下十分和谐地生活。此外，家庭还必须要培养青少年的品德，这又增添了当父母的困难。 There are many complaints about the inaccessibility of medical care and high tuitions. However, another thing that

世界变平产生一些意外的后果，其一就是不同的社会和文化可以更多地直接接触。人们之间连接的速度之快使人和社会措手不及。一些文化凭借全球亲密接触突然带来的合作机遇兴旺发达（蓬勃发展）。另一些文化却由于这种亲密接触而感到灰心丧气，甚至感到自尊受到伤害，原因是这种亲密接触的后果之一是使人们轻易的发现彼此在世界上的位置。所有这一切有助于说明为什么现在会出现一种最具有杀伤力的力量―――自杀性爆炸者和其他恐怖组织。这些组织不顾人们的死活， 消灭它们最符合我们的利益。

英国先前奉行的殖民政策导致了英语在全球的普及。美国无所不在的影响又加剧了英语的广泛使用。但是英语作为国际语言的霸主地位是福也是祸。只举其一，他加速了一些语言的灭绝。人们一直在想是否有可能创造一种世界语言，从而有望结束那些语言引起的麻烦和冲突。令人遗憾的是，使世界语言一直的尝试收效甚微，原因是某一语言的本族语者不愿意把另一语言当做自己的母语。放弃自己的母语就等于失去自己民族的基本特征。 According to the latest statistics, 67percent of the U.S. Population have access to the Internet, a percentage six times that of China(as large as China's).

在现实世界中，人的个性复杂，动机不明，结局不定。与此不同的是，电视展现的世界简单明了。 在一部又一部电视剧中，奖惩快速实现，设计合理。危机得到解除，问题得到解决，正义

某一学科的变化和进展（进步）取决于众多因素。每一学科都是过去的产物，上一代人达到的水平是下一代人的起点。但任何一个学科都不是在真空中发展的，都要参照或接触其他学科和总的学术环境。科学家和从事学术研究的人要受自己所处的时代和国家影响，他们不可能脱离文化生活。科学发展的道路（进程）不仅受过去的影响，也受当时世界的社会环境和知识前提的影响。学科的应用和其他人对该学科的期望可能在很大程度上决定（左右）学科发展和变化的方向。

It usually takes three years to get a master’s degree in China. After accumulating (Having accumulated) enough credits in the first year, students will proceed (go on) to complete (finish) a thesis in the last two years. Not only does this thesis have to be of some academic value, but reflect (embody / demonstrate) the student’s ability for (to do) scientific research. The increasing weight (emphasis) placed on academic integrity (honesty) will contribute to higher moral standards in the scientific community.

之所以不把二氧化碳列为污染物，是因为二氧化碳是大气

的天然成分，植物进行生物合成需要二氧化碳。正如人们普遍认为人的饮食不可缺少维生素D一样，也都认为二氧化碳是大气不可缺少的成分。但是摄入过多的维生素D会有很大的副作用。生命系统，不论是生态系统还是生物，都需要在某些化合物之间保持微妙的平衡，以确保系统功能正常。尽管少量的某种物质是必要的，但当该物质过量出现威胁生态系统的健康时，就具有了毒副作用。

沙漠化是由人为因素和气候变化造成的，是土地退化的一

个过程。过度开垦和落后的灌溉方法等人类活动正在把需要几百年才能形成的肥沃土壤变成贫瘠的地块。由于缺乏可持续使用土地的方法，贫困农民只好开垦退化的土地，结果却导致恶性循环，所以说解决农村贫困问题是抗击沙漠化的关键。只要促使水土不断流失的环境力量存在，任何一个长期扶贫战略都不会成功。根据目前对气候变化的预测，如果促成气候变化的因素得不到解决，干旱引发的困难和人类遭受的损失就有可能增加。

Whatever the reason (cause), the high price of housing is likely to increase (add to) the financial pressure on parents. The ordinary people can do nothing about it but voice (express) their dissatisfaction (discontent). Fortunately, there are data that suggest that the effort of the central government to bring the price of housing under control is beginning to work (produce effect).

评分建议：

1. 第1句应该用完成时翻译。“翻两番”的英文是quadruple（字典的解释是increase fourfold），是超纲词汇，可用increase或rise等词翻译，但不能说increase (by) three times（是原来的三倍，相当于triple）。表达倍数时，汉语思维有时不灵。

2. …making sb. difficult / impossible to do sth.是严重错误，建议扣分。也可用定语从句翻译。使用逗号时，后面不宜用this或that之类词。

3. 把“小区”翻译为community也可接受。

4. “不论什么原因”也可翻译成for whatever reason。

5. “很可能”不能翻译成…is probable to do sth.或is quite possible to do sth.，建议多扣分。

6. “对„„采取行动”常用介词about，不宜用with或for。此外，…can do nothing…but to do…/ doing也要酌情扣分。

7. 注意“不满”的英语单词形式，错误使用unsatisfactory或dissatisfied等形式要扣分。

Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)

Section A

Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)

and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on

the Answer Sheet.(30%)

Passage One

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Opinion poll surveys show that the public see scientists in a rather unflattering light.

Commonly, the scientist is also seen as being male. It is true that most scientists are male, but the picture of science as a male activity may be a major reason why fewer girls than boys opt for science, except when it comes to biology, which is seen as “female”.

The image most people have of science and scientists comes from their own experience of school science, and from the mass media. Science teachers themselves see it as a problem that so many school pupils find school science an unsatisfying experience, though over the last few years more and more pupils, including girls, have opted for science subjects.

In spite of excellent documentaries, and some good popular science magazines, scientific stories in the media still usually alternate between miracle and scientific threat. The popular stereotype of science is like the magic of fairy tales: it has potential for enormous good or awful harm. Popular fiction is full of “good” scientists saving the world, and “mad” scientists trying to destroy it.

From all the many scientific stories which might be given media treatment, those which are chosen are usually those which can be framed in terms of the usual news angles: novelty, threat, conflict or the bizarre. The routine and often tedious work of the scientist slips from view, to be replaced with a picture of scientists forever offending public moral sensibilities (as in embryo research), threatening public health (as in weapons research), or fighting it out with each other (in giving evidence at public enquiries such as those held on the issues connected with nuclear power).

The mass media also tends to over-personalize scientific work, depicting it as the product of

individual genius, while neglecting the social organization which makes scientific work possible.

A further effect of this is that science comes to be seen as a thing in itself: a kind of unpredictable force; a tide of scientific progress.

It is no such thing, of course. Science is what scientists do; what they do is what a particular kind of society facilitates, and what is done with their work depends very much on who has the power to turn their discoveries into technology, and what their interests are.

11. According to the passage, ordinary people have a poor opinion of science and scientists partly because ____________.

A）of the misleading of the media

B). opinion polls are unflattering

C). scientists are shown negatively in the media

D). science is considered to be dangerous

12. Fewer girls than boys study science because ______________.

A). they think that science is too difficult

B). they are often unsuccessful in science at school

C). science is seen as a man's job

D). science is considered to be tedious

13. Media treatment of science tends to concentrate on ____________.

A). the routine, everyday work of scientists

B). discoveries that the public will understand

C). the more sensational aspects of science

D). the satisfactions of scientific work

14. According to the author, over-personalization of scientific work will lead science __________

A). isolation from the rest of the world

B). improvements on school system

C). association with "femaleness"

D). trouble in recruiting young talent

15. According to the author, what a scientist does ____________.

A). should be attributed to his individual genius

B). depends on the coordination of the society

C). shows his independent power

D). is unpredictable

Passage Two

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage：

The magnitude 7.9 quake struck Sichuan province on May 12 at around noontime, which may have increased the human death toll because many people were at school, and the school buildings turned out to be especially vulnerable to collapse because of poor construction. More than 69,000 people have been confirmed dead so far, and more than 374,000 injured, with fears of further casualties because several lakes were created by rockfall dams may give way and cause sudden flooding.

Clark Burchfiel, Schlumberger Professor of Geology, and Leigh Royden, professor of geology and geophysics in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at MIT, have been doing extensive research in that region of China and the Tibetan plateau for more than two decades, but had found no hints that suggested such a large earthquake might strike the area. The team operated an array of 25 broadband seismograph stations in this region of western Sichuan for more than a year. “Nobody was thinking there would be a major earthquake in that area,” Royden says. “This earthquake was quite unusual, and may have involved a simultaneously severe break of two separate but neighboring faults (断层),” she continued.

The region is extremely unusual geologically, Royden says, because of the very steep slopes at the boundary between the Sichuan Basin to the east and the Tibetan plateau to the west. The elevation rises sharply by about 3,500 meters (more than two miles) over a span of only about 50 kilometers (about 30 miles).

The area where the quake occurred is part of the boundary between two of the Earth’s structural plates, where the Indian and Asian plates meet in an ongoing collision that has created the Himalayan Mountains and the Tibetan plateau. But in central and eastern Tibet, unlike most other areas of continental collision, much of the movement of crust is hidden from view. Instead of thickening the entire crust by folding and faulting, the surface of the eastern Tibetan plateau is not deformed and is being lifted upward by thickening of a weak crustal layer more than 15 km below the surface.

16. Why did the school buildings collapse in the earthquake, according to the passage?

A). They were crowded with students and teachers.

B). They were poorly built.

C). They had too long a history.

D). They were damaged by the earthquake.

17. Based on Para. 1, why does the writer think that more people will be killed or injured after the earthquake?

A). Because there will be more aftershocks after the major quake.

B). Because more school buildings will collapse after the quake.

C). Because destructive flooding caused by rockfall dams is likely to occur.

D). Because there was not enough medical care for the injured in the area.

18. What can we infer from this passage?

A). There was no prediction that such a large-scale quake might occur there.

B). Researchers had done little research in that area before the earthquake struck it.

C). The 5.12 earthquake was the most destructive in the world.

D). If more research had been done, the destruction could have been avoided.

19. Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?

A). Earthquakes can never be predicted.

B). Earthquakes occur frequently.

C). Earthquakes are difficult to predict.

D). Earthquakes can be avoided.

20. What does this passage mainly talk about?

A) The 5.12 earthquake caused great causalities.

B) The 5.12 earthquake was very frightening.

C) The causes of the earthquake are still unclear.

D) The 5.12 earthquake was extremely unusual.

Passage Three

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

Four months before Crown Prince Felipe says “si” (“yes” in Spanish) to television journalist Shops are offering the biggest variety of wedding souvenirs, from plates and bottle-openers to copies of the couple’s engagement ring.

The couple has made only a few carefully staged public appearances to reduce the scrutiny. Spanish people waited for more than a decade for the 36-year-old son of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia to find a suitable bride. And more important, the May 22 wedding will be a landmark event in other ways.

Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, 31, is the daughter of a nurse and a journalist. So, she will be the

first commoner on a throne once occupied by Queen Isabella, who sent Christopher Columbus to the Americas.

The pretty, elegant former news anchor will also become Spain’s first home-grown queen in more than a century. The lively and professionally accomplished Letizia has been welcomed by Spanish people as a new type of queen for a modern monarchy.

Spanish people were accustomed to seeing her in television news broadcasts and she arouses tremendous curiosity. Journalists are investigating even the most ordinary aspects of her past which resembles that of so many other young Spanish professional women. Spanish people have also taken note that she tried to interrupt the prince when they talked to the press after getting engaged in November. “Let me talk,” she told the heir to the Bourbon throne.

Such behavior is regarded as understandable in a woman who went to Mexico by herself at age 23 and later reported on the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Iraq war for state television TVE.

Her strong character, frankness and critical mind could also be disadvantages for a royal who is rarely expected to speak her mind, reporters have said.

The palace has struggled to protect her from scrutiny and to give her time to adapt to her new role.

21. By saying “

A). a lot of royal weddings follow

B). the Spanish people are surprised at the royal wedding

C). the royal wedding makes a stir in the whole country

D). the royal wedding becomes a fashion

22. The most important reason why royal wedding causes such a great interest is that_________.

A). a commoner is married into a royal family

B). the prince finally finds his bride

C). a famous TV journalist gets married

D). the wedding is expensive

23. Letizia used to be a news anchor who was _________.

A). world-famous B). frank

C). serious D). capable

24. Letizia’s interruption of the prince when they talked to the press was most probably prompted by her_________ .

A). curiosity B). innocence

C). outspokenness D). rudeness

25. The difficulty for Letizia to fit in the royal life may lie in _________.

A). how to meet the requirements of the Queen

B). how to change her character to fit in the royal family

C). how to continue her career after marriage

D). how to face her former audience as a princess

Section B

Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.Read the passage carefully, then write your answers on the Answer Sheet.(10%)

The story you are about to read is almost unbelieve, but it is true. It happened one winter’s

night in 1944, during World War II. The airplannes of the Royal Air Force, after dropping their bombs on Germany, were on their way home.

In each plane, men looked anxiously over their guns into the darkness. This was the time when enemy fighter planes might attack. One of the air-gunners was Nick Alkemade. He was a gunner in the back of the plane and he sat in the rear-gun position, at the very tail of the plane. It was so small that before climbing in , Nick had taken off his parachute and left it in another part of the plane. He felt more comfortable without it . Soon, however, he began to feel very uncomfortable indeed. Suddenly there was a terrible exploision and the whole aircraft shook. The whole of the middle part of the plane burst into flames and Nick heard the captain shook. “We’re on fire! Jump!”

At first Nick could not get out of his seat. The tiny door was stuck. After struggling with all his strength for several moments, he forced it open. He looked for his parachute but it was already burning. He had to make a terrible decision: he could stay in the plane and be burnt to death or he could jump without a parachute and be smashed to death, after falling 6,000 metre. He jumped!

The cold air hit him and he could not breath. At this height the air is too thin to breathe properly. As Nick began to lose consciousness, he thought, “So this is what it’s like to die.” Then he remembered no more.

When he woke up some time later, he could not believe that he was alive. Slowly he moved his arms, then his legs. They seemed all right. He was lying in a huge pile of snow. When he looked up, he saw a large fir tree. Its branches had broken his fall and the pile of snow had completed his soft landing.

When he got to his feet, he found that his back and one leg hurt but he was able to walk. He made his way to a German farm, and soon he was a prisoner, in a hospital bed. At first the German did not believe his story. Later, however, they found the crashed plane and his partly burnt parachute, with his name and number on it. This was the first time a man had jumped five and half kilometres without a parachute and still lived.

26. Why did Nick take off his parachute?

27. What happened in the plane when the plane burst into flames?

28. What did Nick have to decide to do when the plane burst into flames?

29. Nick was saved by ____________

30. Why didn’t the Germans believe his story at first?

Passage 1

In a new book published this month called

ramifications will be at least as profound as the economic ones. Will all those seniors shift the balance of political power? How will Hollywood executives, funeral directors and the auto industry change their products to meet the demands of a markedly older public? Because women tend to outlive men, will an older America also be significantly more female? In short, what will America be like when we all become a Senior Nation'?

Anyone who has visited West Palm Beach or Tucson knows part of the answer, lots of people driving very slowly in big cars on their way to early-bird dinners. But that's only the most broad-brush observation. The political changes alone will be enough to bury all those stereotypes about the feeble elderly. Peterson estimates that by 2038, people 65 and older will make up 34 percent of the electorate - up from only 16 percent in 1966. You think Social Security is a sacred cow now? And the battle over entitlements may get uglier. The 65-plus population is about 85 percent white. The younger generations - the ones footing the seniors' bills - are much more racially mixed.

Passage 2

Weary after centuries of fighting the surging North Sea from gushing into this low-lying nation, the Netherlands is rethinking how to keep Dutch feet dry.

The traditional method of stopping floodwater has been to build dikes. But at the Second World Water Forum, a five-day conference that was to start today in The Hague, Dutch water experts were to explain that the best way to handle the water may be to let it in.

In the Netherlands -- half of which lies below sea level -- the Ministry of Water Management has designated several low-lying regions as

Referring to the fable of a Dutch boy named Hans Brinker who saved the nation from disaster by plugging a hole in the sea barrier. Undersecretary for Water Management Monique de Vries said:

Although the country has built dikes and reclaimed land since the Middle Ages, repeated flooding of farmland in recent years and high maintenance costs have led to a rethinking about the old methods.

Part of the plan involves widening river beds to allow larger volumes of water to flow to the sea. Although it is still unclear how much land could eventually be allocated to the project-- some inhabitants would have to be relocated w large areas of the eastern Dutch province of Gelderland have been labeled as suitable.

While flooding is a serious threat to the Dutch, global warming could expose many more in this country of 15 million to drought and water pollution if governments do not take drastic measures, conference organizers have warned.

More than3,500 delegates from 150 countries will attend the conference, the follow-up to the first global water congress, Which was held in Marrakech. Morocco, two years ago.

With one-sixth of the world's population lacking clean drinking water, forum organizers have called for annual global spending on water problems to be more than doubled from about $70 billion or $80 billion to $180 billion. In the closing stages of the conference, ministers from more than 100 countries will meet to discuss sustainable water for the world's growing population and farmers who grow crops for mass consumption.

Passage 3

The Global Environmental Facility, through the United Nations Development Program, has decided to fund $9.3 million of the $40 million program to help the government of China transform its market for refrigerators. The refrigerator project began in 1989 when the EPA signed an agreement with the government of China to assist in the elimination of CFCs from refrigerators. Berkeley Lab has been involved in the project since 1995 through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, developing the market transformation program based on the success of the first

phase of the project, which involved designing and testing CFC (chlorofluorocabon 含氯氟烃) free, energy efficient refrigerators. Fridley says that beyond his technical supervisory role, the Laboratory will be involved in training and working with the State Bureau of Technical Supervision as the new efficiency standards are developed.

In 1998, the refrigerator project was awarded an International Climate Protection Award by the EPA.

61. The main idea of this passage is about_____________.

A. the refrigerator production in China supported by UN and USA

Passage 4

By the mid-nineteenth century', in addition to its natural resources, the United States had accumulated enough capital in the form of factories to productively employ a large amount of labor, or human resources. A nation that still consisted largely of independent farmers could not provide an adequate labor supply for heavy industrialization. But millions of new workers came to the United States from abroad.

As we are all aware, not all these workers arrived voluntarily. Slaves were brought from Africa to the South: they were put to work on plantations to extract maximum harvests from the cotton fields. But in the North, the machines that turned that cotton into textiles were worked by massive waves of immigrants who came willingly from one part of Europe after another. This vastly expanded pool of labor allowed from large leaps in our national output.

A nation cannot grow forever by finding more natural resources and attracting more workers; thus, a country's extensive growth will eventually slow. But intensive growth gradually appears as better use is made of the labor force. In the United States in the mid-nineteen century, many of the newly arrived immigrants were unskilled and illiterate, but the education policy of their new land meant that their children all received an education, and many were trained in a skill. If a society gives workers more knowledge, they will be able to use machines in a more complex way and to follow more complex instructions, yielding manufactured goods of greater value; this process is often known as investing in human capital. In the late twentieth century, our physical capital is so abundant and our natural resources so limited that we are beginning to appreciate the importance of improving our human resources if we are to continue to grow.

66. This passage mainly discusses the national output in terms of____________.

A. the labor force B. natural resources

C. factories D. immigration

67. We can infer from the passage (paragraph 2) that the South's contribution to the growth of industry in the mid-nineteenth century was mainly_____________.

A. raw materials B. skilled labor

C. manufactured goods D. industrial sites

68. The phrase

A. many immigrants came by ship

B. immigrant families stayed together

C. groups of immigrants came at different times

D. groups of immigrants were greeted enthusiastically

69. From the passage, which of the following can be inferred about the United States in the fast half of the nineteenth century?

A. It was producing large amounts of manufactured goods.

B. It was largely agricultural.

C. It was fully industrialized.

D. It was low in natural resources.

70. We can infer from the passage that intensive growth of a nation's economy requires_____________.

A. expansion of resources B. better use of the labor force

C. attracting unskilled labor D. limiting the human resources

71. According to the passage, what is the end goal of an investment in human capital?

A. Providing more valuable manufactured goods

B. Educating immigrant families

C. Training in use of complex machines

D. Developing literacy for all

72. We can infer from the passage (paragraph 3) that in the mid-nineteenth century the United States placed a high value on______________.

A. European trade B. education

C. agriculture D. development of natural resources

Passage 5

Economists have received the unfair reputation of being unable to agree on anything. The image of economists in disagreement is part of our folklore. An English commentator wrote:

The image of widespread disagreement among economists is overrated. The result of a survey of 100 professional economists confirm that there is considerable agreement among economists about what can be done (positive economics), especially in a microeconomic context. However, there is more disagreement over what ought

to be done. Questions of what ought to be done (Should we equalize the distribution of income? Should we increase defense spending?) require moral and political value judgments on which individuals naturally differ. Finally, disagreement among professional economists receives more publicity than other scientific professions, which contributes to the false image of economists in disaccord.

While disagreements in other sciences are as strong or even stronger than in economics, these disagreements are less visible to the public eye. Theoretical physicists have disagreed about the physical nature of the universe since the foundations of physics, but this scientific controversy is understood by only a few theoretical physicists.

It does not require much disagreement to bring disputes to the public's attention. Everyone is interested in economic questions: Will inflation accelerate? Will I lose my job? Why is the price of gasoline rising so fast? Why are home mortgages so hard to come by? Economists do disagree, particularly on some big macroeconomic issues. But often what the public perceives as disagreements over positive economics are really disagreements over what ought to be. In general, there is more agreement than disagreement among economists.

73. According to the passage, the commentator mentions Mr. Keynes as noted for his____________.

A. good sense

B. inconsistency of opinions

C. predictability

D. greediness

74. According to the passage, positive economics is__________.

A. an attempt to convince disgruntled economists

B. Statements in microeconomics about what is possible

C. financial statements showing again

D. results of economic surveys

75. The author believes that disagreement between economists is all of the following EXCEPT__________.

A. natural B. exaggerated

C. publicized D. nonexistent

76. According to the passage, which of the following statements describes disagreements between theoretical physicists?

B. They are not easily understood by non-physicists.

C. The public follows them intently.

D. They are not worthy of publication.

77. The phrase

A. badly advertised

B. difficult to obtain

C. far away

D. plentiful

78. It can be inferred from the passage that economists find macroeconomic issues _________.

A. more controversial than microeconomic issues

B. easier to understand than positive economics

C. similar to issues in theoretical physics

D. not concerned with reality

79. The purpose of the author in this passage is to__________________.
