Part II

Directions: in this part There are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one you think is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet One with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

Television has opened windows in everybody's life.Young men will never again go to waras they did in 1914.Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle.And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.

Television has also changed politics.The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.

Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young.Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world;that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable.All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.

Also, the young are less patient.Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures;to read a book that requires thinking;to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes.That's the time it takes on the screen.

21.In the past, many young people （）。

A.knew the effects of war

B.went in for politics

C.liked to save the wounded in wars

D.were willing to be soldiers

22.Now with TV people can （）。

A.discuss politics at an information center

B.show more interest ill politics

C.make their own decisions on political affairs

D.express their opinions freely

23.The author thinks that TV advertisements （）。

A.are not reliable on the whole

B.are useless to people

C.are a good guide to adults

D.are very harmful to the young

24.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A.People have become used to crimes now

B.With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly

C.People now like to read books with picture

D.The adults are less violent than the young

25.From the passage, we can conclude that （）。

A.children should keep away from TV

B.TV programs should be improved

C.children's books should have pictures

D.TV has a deep influence on the young

Passage 2

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book," Uncle Tom's Cabin". But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success, The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buya new silk dress.

But whenthe first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days.In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England.For a while it outsold （销得比…多） every book in the world, except the Bible.

Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America's most popular play for 80 years.

It might appear that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was univer sally popular , but this was certainly not true.

Many people during those pre-Civil War days--particularly defenders of the slavery system—condemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama（传奇剧作品）。

Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery （ When asked how she came to write the book, she replied," God wrote it." ）， an she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so perhaps the book could be considered propaganda. But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.

Though she was born in Connecticut, 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio,when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary （神学院）。 Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in action.She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college.In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.

Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movementand angered defenders of the slave system.

Today some historians（历史学家） think that it helped bring on the American Civil War.

In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said," So, this is the little lady who started this big war."

26.Before the publication of the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" （）。

A.Harriet knew that it would be a great success

B.the publisher wanted Harriet to publish it at her own expense

C.nobody knew that it would become a very popular book

D.no publisher wanted to publish this anti-slavery book

27.Some people did not like "Uncle Tom's Cabin"chiefly because （）。

A.the author was merely an unknown little lady

B.they thought it was mere propaganda

C.the book was poorly written

D.the book might lead to a terrible war

28.Harriet Beecher Stowe was able to describe the evils of slavery because （）。

A.she had lived for 18 years in a state where slavery was legal

B.she had suffered quite a lot under the slavery system

C.she had witnessed what happened under theslavery system

D.she had read a lot about the slavery system

29.When Abraham Lincoln called Harriet "the little lady who started this big war", he （）。

A.thought that she was almost a war criminal

B.was talking about the great influence her book had produced

C.was blaming her for the miseries the people had suffered during the war

D.was praising her for the contributions she had made during the war

30.The writer wrote the passage in order to （）。

A.expose the evils of the slavery system

B.condemn all kinds of war

C.describe people's life in Harriet's time

D.tell us how Harriet wrote her famous book

Passage 3

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country, Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands.In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant.One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south.

Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall.The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo （竹） and many semi-tropical（亚热带的） plants grow well in the southwest of England.Flowers and vegetables ripen（成熟） as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere.Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are read earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England's most popular holiday areas.

31.The distance from the center of England to the south coast is about （）。

A.one hundred miles

B.three hundred miles

C.one hundred and fifty miles

D.six hundred miles

32.England is a country （）。

B.with a surprising climate

C.with a pleasant climate

D.with a variety of climates

33.According to the passage, （）。

A.flowers and vegetables fromDevon are on the market one month earlier

B.farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere

C.people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowers

D.vegetables inCornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers

34.In the north of England and the Midlands, （）。

A.it is cold and wet all the year round

B.the climate is pleasant as a whole

C.it is warm most of the time in a year

D.only the summer is not cold or wet

35.In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall （）。

A.seldom see snow

B.never see any snow

C.may have several feet of snow

D.often see snow

Passage 4

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

All the useful energy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun.The sun heats and feeds creatures and mankind.Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood, coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored energy from the sun. Some was collected by this season's plants as carbon compounds.Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago.

Even waterpower derives from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun fails as rain. It courses down the mountains and is converted to electric power. Light transmits only the energy that comes from the sun's outer layer, and much of this energy that is directed towards the earth never arrives.About nine tenths of it is absorbed by the atmosphere of the earth. In fact, the earth itself gets only one half millionth of the sun's entire output of radiant energy.

36.The sun is the source of all of the following EXCEPT （）。

Part III Cloze （ 10 points）

Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage,For each blank there are 4 choices markedA,B, C and D. You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet One with a single line through the center.

Nowadays, air travel is very 41 .We are not surprised when we watch on TV that a politician has talked with French President in Paris and attended a meeting in Beijing on the same day.

However, if a person takes long-distance flying frequently, he can be so tired that he maybe feel his brain is in one country, his 42 in another.In a word, he 43 knows where he is.

When we fly from east to west or vice versa, the 44 we experience after taking along-distance flying is aggravated, because we cross time zones. According to doctors, air travelers, after crossing several time zones, are in no 45 to go to work, and they should go straight to bed 46 arrival.

As to airline pilots who often live by their own watches and ignore local time, there is no need for them to worry about their health although they sometimes have breakfast at midnight, because they are used to 47 and are physically fit.

Many businessmen like long-distance flights, thinking they are 48 to have been chosen and they are out for promotion.They are lucky.if the company follows the doctor's advice and allow them to rest for a day or two before working.However, sometimes the manager is so energetic that he believes everyone is 49 to be as fit as he is.Since he has never felt uncomfortable after flying himself, the work he assigns is so 50 that the employee is too exhausted to carry the work out satisfactorily.That is disastrous for the employee's health and the company's reputation.

Part IV Translation（ 20 points）

Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Then translate the underlined sentences marked from 51-55 into Chinese.You should write your translation on the Answer Sheet.

As part of more comprehensive compliance and ethics programs, many companies have formulated internal policies pertaining to the ethical conduct of employees.These policies can be simple exhortations in broad, highly-generalized language （ typically called a corporate ethics statement）， or they can be more detailed policies, containing specific behavioral requirements （typically called corporate ethics codes）。51They are generally meant to identify the company's expectations of workers and to offer guidance on handling some of the more common ethical problems that might arise in the course of doing business.52 It is hoped that having such a policy will lead to greater ethical awareness , consistency in application, andthe avoidance of ethical disasters.

53. An increasing number of companies also requires employees to attend seminars regarding business conduct, which often include discussion of the company's policies, specific case studies, and leEal requirements. Some companies even require their employees to sign agreements stating that they will abide by the company's rules of conduct.

Many companies are assessing the environmental factors that can lead employees to engage in unethical conduct.A competitive business environment may call for unethical behavior.Lying has become expected in fields such as trading.An example of this are the issues surrounding the unethical actions of the Saloman Brothers.

Not everyone supports corporate policies that govern ethical conduct. Some claim that ethical problems are better dealt with by depending upon employees to use their own judgment.

Others believe that corporate ethics policies are primarily rooted in utilitarian concerns, and that they are mainly to limit the company's legal liability, or to curry public favor by giving the appearance of being a good corporate citizen.Ideally, the company will avoid a lawsuit because its employees will follow the rules.54 .Should a lawsuit occur, the company can claim that the problem would not have arisen if the employee had only followed the code properly.

Sometimes there is disconnection between the company's code of ethics and the company's actual practices. 55. Thus, whether or not such conduct is explicitly sanctioned by management, at worst, this makes the policy duplicitous （搞两面派的） , and, at best, it is merely a marketing tool.

PartⅣ

51.【译文】它们的目的是，在处理一些在做业务过程中可能出现的更普遍的伦理问题时，确定公司对员工的预期并提供指导。

52.【译文】希望拥有这样的政策将带来更强的道德意识、运用的连贯性及道德灾难的避免。

53.【译文】越来越多的公司也要求员工参加与商业行为有关的研讨会，这些会议通常包含公司政策、具体的案例分析及法律要求。

54.【译文】如果发生诉讼，公司将宣称，假如员工完全遵守了条例，就不会发生问题。

55.【译文】因此，无论这种行为是否由管理层明确批准，最坏的结果是，它将使政策变得模棱两可，最好的结果是，它仅仅是一个营销工具。

Part V Writing（30 points）

56.Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay on it.

In your essay, you should

（1） describe the cartoon briefly;

（2） analyze this situation ;

（3） give your comments.'

You should write 100--150 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

【参考】

56.One possible version:

Noise Pollution

The cartoon shows another kind of pollution for us. Besides the air pollution, noise pollution is becoming a more and more serious problem, whether in cities or countryside.

With the development of machines, noise has also increased greatly in the 21th century.We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks and electric tools.TV sets and radios add up to 90 or 100 decibels, a certain unit used to measure the loudness of sound.A normal dialogue reaches 55 decibels; a plane goes to 100, and an ordinary train, reaching the station,can be twice as loud as the loudest plane.Disco music reaches about 118.At high decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.How terrible if things go on like this!

It seems impossible to avoid all noises.But we can take measures to reduce noise.For example, many cities forbid cars pushing horn in the evening or in city centre. Planting more trees is another way to relieve the pollution since trees help absorb sound.I hope the government will take more and more powerful steps to reduce noise, so that people can live a peaceful life !
