Text 1

Within a large concrete room, cut out of a mountain on a freezing-told island just 1,000 kilometers from the North Pole, could lie the future of humanity.

The room is a vault (地下库) designed to hold around 2 million seeds, representing all known varieties of the world’s crops. It is being built to safeguard the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change, terrorism, rising sea levels, earthquakes and the collapse of electricity supplies. “If the worst came to the worst, this would allow the world to reconstruct agriculture on this planet.” says Cary Fowler, director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, an independent international organization promoting the project.

The Norwegian (挪威的) government is planning to create the seed bank next year at the request of crop scientists. The $3 million vault will be built deep inside a sandstone mountain on the Norwegian Arctic island of Spitsbergen. The vault will have metre-thick walls of reinforced concrete and will be protected behind two airlocks and high-security doors.

The vault’s seed collection will represent the products of some 10,000 years of plant breeding by the world’s famers. Though most are no longer widely planted, the varieties contain vital genetic properties still regularly used in plant breeding.

To survive, the seeds need freezing temperatures. Operators plan to replace the air inside the

vault each winter, when temperatures in Spitsbergen are around -18℃. But even if some disaster meant that the vault was abandoned, the permanently frozen soil would keep the seeds alive. And even accelerated global warming would take many decades to penetrate the mountain vault.

“This will be the world’s most secure gene bank,” says Fowler. “But its seeds will only be used when all other samples have gone for some reason.”

The project comes at a time when there is growing concern about the safety of existing seed banks around the world. Many have been criticized for poor security, ageing refrigeration (冷藏) systems and vulnerable electricity supplies.

The scheme won UN approval at a meeting of the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome in October 2005. A feasibility study said the facility “would essentially be built to last forever”.

21. The Norwegian vault is important in that _________________.

A. the seeds in it represent the rarest varieties of world’s crops.

B. the seeds in it could revive agriculture if the worst thing should happen

C. it is built deep in a mountain on a freezing-cold Arctic island

D. it is strong enough against all disasters caused by man and nature

22. The seed bank project was proposed by __________.

A. the Norwegian government B. Norwegian farmers

C. Spitsbergen residents D. agricultural scientists

23. The seeds in the vault will be stored ____________________.

A. as samples of world crop varieties

B. as products of world plant breeding

C. for their valuable genetic properties

D. for their resistance to plant diseases

24. For the seed bank project to be successful, the most important factor is probably________.

A. constructing tight airlocks B. maintaining high security

C. keeping freezing temperatures D. storing large quantities of seeds

25. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The Norwegian vault models after existing seed banks

B. The Spitsbergen seed bank is expected to last 10,000 years

C. The existing seed banks have potential problems

D. The UN financed the Spitsbergen seed bank

Text 2

Both the number and the percentage of people in the United States involved in nonagricultural pursuits expanded rapidly during the half century following the Civil War, with some of the most dramatic increases occurring in the domains of transportation, manufacturing, and trade and distribution. The development of the railroad and telegraph systems during the middle third of the nineteenth century led to significant improvements in the speed, volume, and regularity of shipments and communications, making possible a fundamental transformation in the production and distribution of goods.

In agriculture, the transformation was marked by the emergence of the grain elevators, the cotton presses, the warehouses, and the commodity exchanges that seemed to so many of the nation’s farmers the visible sign of a vast conspiracy against them. In manufacturing, the transformation was marked by the emergence of a “new factory system” in which plants became larger, more complex, and more systematically organized and managed. And in distribution, the transformation was marked by the emergence of the jobber, the wholesaler, and the mass retailer. These changes radically altered the nature of work during the half century between 1870 and 1920.

To be sure, there were still small workshops, where skilled craftspeople manufactured products ranging from newspapers to cabinets to plumbing fixtures. There were the sweatshops in city tenements, where groups of men and women in household settings manufactured clothing or cigars on a piecework basis. And there were factories in occupations such as metalwork where individual contractors presided over what were essentially handicraft proprietorships that coexisted within a single building. But as the number of wage earners in manufacturing rose from 2.7 million in 1880 to 4.5 million in 1900 to 8.4 million in 1920, the number of huge plants like the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia burgeoned, as did the size of the average plant. (The Baldwin Works had 600 employees in 1855, 3,000 in 1875, and 8,000 in 1900.) By 1920, at least in the northeastern United States where most of the nation’s manufacturing wage earners were concentrated, three-quarters of those worked in factories with more than 100 employees and 30 percent worked in factories with more than 1,000 employees.

26. What can be inferred from the passage about the agricultural sector of the economy after the Civil War?

A. New technological developments had little effect on farmers.

B. The percentage of the total population working in agriculture declined.

C. Many farms destroyed in the war were rebuilt after the war.

D. Farmers achieved new prosperity because of better rural transportation.

27. Which of the following was NOT mentioned as part of the “new factory system?”

A. A change in the organization of factories.

B. A growth in the complexity of factories.

C. An increase in the size of factories.

D. An increase in the cost of manufacturing industrial products.

28. Which of the following statements about manufacturing before 1870 can be inferred from the passage?

A. Most manufacturing activity was highly organized.

B. Most manufacturing occurred in relatively small plants.

C. The most commonly manufactured goods were cotton presses.

D. Manufacturing and agriculture each made up about half of the nation’s economy.

29. The author mentions the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Paragraph 3 because it was

A. a well-known metal-works

B. the first plant of its kind in Philadelphia

C. typical of the large factories that were becoming more common

D. typical of factories that consisted of a single building

30. The word “presided over” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to

A. managed B. led to

C. worked in D. produced

Text 3

In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sold sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post.

These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,” may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair.

The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.”

Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business.

Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,” and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance, US automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salaries before they asked their workers to take pay cuts, negotiations would probably take on a very different character.

31. Why did the chairman of Toshiba resign his position in 1987?

A. In Japan, the leakage of a state secret to Russians is a grave crime.

B. He had been under attack for shifting responsibility to his subordinates.

C. In Japan, the chief executive of a corporation is held responsible for the mistake made by its subsidiaries.

D. He had been accused of being cowardly towards crises that were taking place in his corporation.

32. According to the passage if you want to be a good manager in Japan, you have to ________.

A. apologize promptly for your subordinates' mistakes

B. be skillful in accepting blames from customers

C. make symbolic sacrifices whenever necessary

D. create a strong sense of company loyalty

33. What’s Professor George Lodge’s attitude towards the resignations of Japanese corporate leaders?

A. sympatheticB. biased C. critical D. approving.

34. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Boeing had nothing to do with the JAL air crash in 1985.

B. American executives consider authority and responsibility inseparable.

C. School principals bear legal responsibility for students' crimes.

D. Persuading employees to take pay cuts doesn’t help solve corporate crises.

35. The passage is mainly about ______________.

A. resignation as an effective way of dealing with business crises

B. the importance of delegating responsibility to employees

C. ways of evading responsibility in times of crises

D. the difference between two business cultures

Text 4

The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed “art glass.” Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect upon carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.

France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among the most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs.

The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920’s. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since the turn of the century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement—that function should determine form—was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline, and complex textural surfaces.

36. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?

A. Design elements in the Art Nouveau style

B. The popularity of the Art Nouveau style

C. Production techniques for art glass

D. Color combinations typical of the Art Nouveau style

37. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?

A. To compare different Art Nouveau styles

B. To give examples of famous Art Nouveau artists

C. To explain why Art Nouveau glass was so popular in the United States

D. To show the impact Art Nouveau had on other cultures around the world

38. What does the author mean by stating that “function should determine form” (para 3, line 6)?

A. A useful object should not be attractive

B. The purpose of an object should influence its form

C. The design of an object is considered more significant than its function

D. The form of an object should not include decorative elements

39. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason Functionalism became popular was that it

A. clearly distinguished between art and design

B. appealed to people who liked complex painted designs

C. reflected a common desire to break from the past

D. was easily interpreted by the general public

40. Paragraph 3 supports which of the following statements about Functionalism?

A. Its design concept avoided geometric shapes.

B. It started on a small scale and then spread gradually.

C. It was a major force in the decorative arts before the First World War

D. It was not attractive to architects and designers

Growth in the market for glass crafts

Historical development of glass

Architectural experiments with glass

A former glass technology

Computers and their dependence on glass

What makes glass so adaptable

Exciting innovations in fiber optics

Glass, in one form or another, has long been in noble service to humans. As one of the most widely used of manufactured materials, and certainly the most versatile, it can be as imposing as a telescope mirror the width of a tennis court or as small and simple as a marble rolling across dirt. The uses of this adaptable material have been broadened dramatically by new technologies: glass fiber optics—more than eight million miles—carrying telephone and television signals across nations; glass ceramics serving as the nose cones of missiles and as crowns for teeth; tiny glass beads taking radiation doses inside the body to specific organs; even a new type of glass fashioned of nuclear waste in order to dispose of that unwanted material.

41. _____________________________________

On the horizon are optical computers. These could store programs and process information by means of light—pulses from tiny lasers—rather than electrons. And the pulses would travel over glass fibers, not copper wire. These machines could function hundreds of times faster than today’s electronic computers and hold vastly more information. Today fiber optics are used to obtain a cleaner image of smaller and smaller objects than ever before—even bacterial viruses. A new generation of optical instruments is emerging that can provide detailed imaging of the inner workings of cells. It is the surge in fiber optic use and in liquid crystal displays that has set the U.S. glass industry (a 16 billion dollar business employing some 150,000 workers) to building new plants to meet demand.

42. ______________________________________

But it is not only in technology and commerce that glass has widened its horizons. The use of glass as art, a tradition going back at least to Roman times, is also booming. Nearly everywhere, it seems, men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art. “I didn’t sell a piece of glass until 1975,” Dale Chihuly said, smiling, for in the 18 years since the end of the dry spell, he has become one of the 20th century. He now has a new commission—a glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza company—for which his fee is half a million dollars.

43. ______________________________________

But not all the glass technology that touches our lives is ultra-modern. Consider the simple light bulb; at the turn of the century most light bulbs were hand blown, and the cost of one was equivalent to half a day’s pay for the average worker. In effect, the invention of the ribbon machine by Corning in the 1920s lighted a nation. The price of a bulb plunged. Small wonder that the machine has been called one of the great mechanical achievements of all time. Yet it is very simple: a narrow ribbon of molten glass travels over a moving belt of steel in which there are holes. The glass sags through the holes and into waiting moulds. Puffs of compressed air then shape the glass. In this way, the envelope of a light bulb is made by a single machine at the rate of 66,000 an hour, as compared with 1,200 a day produced by a team of four glassblowers.

44. _______________________________________

The secret of the versatility of glass lies in its interior structure. Although it is rigid, and thus like a solid, the atoms are arranged in a random disordered fashion, characteristic of a liquid. In the melting process, the atoms in the raw materials are distributed from their normal positioning the molecular structure; before they can find their way back to crystalline arrangements the glass cools. This looseness in molecular structure gives the material what engineers call tremendous “formability” which allows technicians to tailor glass to whatever they need.

45. ______________________________________

Today, scientists continue to experiment with new glass mixture and building designers test their imaginations with applications of special types of glass. A London architect, Mike Davies, sees even more dramatic buildings using molecular chemistry. “Glass is the great building material of the future, the ‘dynamic skin’ ” he said. “Think of glass that has been treated to react to electric currents going through it, glass that will change from clear to opaque at the push of a button, that gives you instant curtains. Think of how the tall buildings in New York could perform a symphony of colors as the glass in them is made to change colors instantly.” Glass as instant curtains is available now, but the cost is exorbitant. As for the glass changing colors instantly, that may come true. Mike Davies’s vision may indeed be on the way to fulfillment.

Section III Translation

46. Directions: In this section there is a passage in English. Translate it into Chinese and write your version on Answer Sheet 2 (15 points)

The media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the People’s Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinction between these realities.

Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people’s lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact, for example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on “live action” such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.

高崚、杨威被华中科技大学“劝退”，暴露出这样一个问题，一些运动员上学，只是名义上的，他们并没有真正走进课堂，也没有读一些应该读的书。这不得不让我们去重新审视运动员的“学历热”——

包括众多奥运冠军在内的优秀运动员进入各大高校求学，曾一度被视为是运动员退役后职业转型的最佳出路。然而，近年来屡屡出现的“冠军学生”无法正常上课、无法按时毕业甚至是被提前退学的尴尬，却不得不让我们去重新审视运动员的“上学热”。

在常人看来，运动员是一个风光与风险并存的职业。在役时，并非每个运动员都能像刘翔和姚明那样风光无限;退役后，也并非每个运动员都能像田亮和刘璇那样成功转型。即使是获得过全国甚至世界冠军的邹春兰和艾冬梅等人，也曾面临着就业的尴尬和生活的窘迫，更何况那些“拿青春赌明天”却没能“潇洒走一回”的众多普通运动员。

正因如此，优秀运动员特别是世界冠军和奥运冠军“求学”，已逐渐成为中国体育界的一种“时尚”。据记者了解，我国专业运动员特别是优秀运动员的学历在近年来呈现出不断升高的趋势——1984年至今，奥运冠军中专科、本科以上学历者约占81.95%，硕士以上学历者约占28%。据中国校友网等机构发布的《中国奥运冠军调查报告》显示，在北京奥运会前选择就读北京体育大学的奥运冠军就有27人(北体大还专门设立了研究生冠军班);选择就读中国人民大学的有13人(人大为此专门设立优秀跳水运动员班);其次为南京体育学院、上海交通大学、北京大学和清华大学。随着北京奥运会后更多奥运冠军的诞生，这一数字还在不断上升中，林跃、火亮、何雯娜、陆春龙等新科奥运冠军纷纷走进大学校园……

运动员特别是优秀运动员的“上学热”，与相关部门的政策支持密不可分。早在2002年，体育总局、等部门便联合印发了《关于进一步做好退役运动员就业安置工作的意见》，提出“鼓励运动员进入高等院校学习并通过高校毕业生就业渠道就业。”《意见》中还专门指出“获得全国体育比赛前三名、亚洲体育比赛前六名、世界体育比赛前八名和获得球类集体项目运动健将、田径项目运动健将、武术项目武英级和其他项目国际级运动健将称号的运动员，可以免试进入各级各类高等院校学习”，此后又将保送范围扩大到了现役运动员。

虽然有关部门已将进入高校学习明确作为安置退役运动员的渠道，但运动员“求学”促就业的效果究竟如何却值得商榷。在运动员特别是优秀运动员的学历近年来不断提升的趋势背后，人们所期待的高校与优秀运动员“赛而优则学”的双赢局面却并未如期出现。

从高校方面来看，吸引世界冠军特别是奥运冠军来校就读，除了响应号召，承担更多培养优秀运动员综合素质的社会责任外，还可以进一步扩大学校的知名度和影响力。因此，在有关部门出台相关规定后，不少高校特别是知名高校都制定了很多优惠条件吸引冠军运动员就读。比如人大、清华等高校就专门为就读的“冠军学员”度身定制了培养方案，实行弹性学制、放宽毕业年限、单独开班、小班授课甚至是放宽英语成绩等“特殊”政策。

然而，名校可以选择，不少冠军选手在进入名校后却不一定能够顺利完成学业。冠军们“挂牌读书”，无法按时毕业的现象并不鲜见。以此次出现在华中科技大学307名“超学时”拟清退研究生名单中的奥运冠军高崚和杨威为例，他们同是2005年华中科技大学公共管理学院的研究生，曾先后4次出现在“未注册研究生名单”中。据该校学籍管理规定，硕士研究生学习年限最长不超过4年，否则将被退学……

对于此次“清退”事件所引发的种种争论，不少业内人士在接受记者采访时均认为，奥运冠军上大学之所以如此引人关注，其深层次原因还是国内运动员特别是退役运动员再就业选择面较窄，使得外界产生了有限的教育资源被“低标准”利用的争议。

据记者了解，近两年来，国内对于运动员特别是退役运动员的安置和就业问题进行了积极探索和尝试——辽宁开设了 “辽宁省体育行业特有工种职业技能鉴定站”，帮助运动员获得与运动项目相关的体育行业资格证书，为运动员转型培训搭建服务平台;广州正在积极推进退役运动员再就业立法，力求从立法层面上解决运动员就业难的问题;北京则通过财政统筹、社会捐助、提取体育彩票公益金等途径建立退役运动员创业基金，扶持退役运动员自主创业……

As can be seen clearly from the chart, the market share taken by domestic car brands increased rapidly from 25% in 20008 to nearly 35% in 2009, while conversely, the market share owned by Japanese car brands dropped by 10% from 35% in 2008 to 25% in 2008. What’s more, the market share taken by American car brands is on the upward trend, from 10% to nearly 15%.

Three reasons, in my opinion, can account for the changes in car market in these two years. First, the rise of Chinese cars is of little surprise as we have seen Chinese enterprises’ commitment to developing self-owned technologies, which not only free them from potential risks, but also bring about long-term benefit. Second, Japanese cars, which used to be highly praised for their outstanding quality and superior stability, is now reeling from a crisis of confidence. Last, the improvement of American cars’ performance must be attributed to the smart marketing strategy employed by American sellers. They launched a lot of marketing campaigns designed specially for Chinese market, which won them applaud as well as benefit.

In order to maintain the good momentum of development, domestic cars should on one hand stick to their self-independent policy, and on the other, learn some experiences from Japanese car’s failures and Americans’ success.
