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 onthe Answer Sheet.(30%)Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Micr osoft is no longer the world’s biggest company by market capitalization. Three other U.S. companies have overtaken the software giant in terms of stock market value. The firm’s value has gone down sharply by 41% so far this year, from nearly $600 billion to $358 billion. Much of the reason for the fall has been the uncertainty prompted by the on-going anti-trust case. It has been overtaken by General Electric, now worth $506 bn, Intel, worth $441 bn andOver the past year Microsoft shares have moved downwards from a high of $120 to $68 in early trading on 7 June. Meanwhile rival Cisco has seen its share price rise by $25 to more than $60 as the company has gained its role in providing the hardware for the Internet. And for most of t he year it has been competing with computer chip maker Intel for the second place. Intel’sThe company that now holds the title of the world’s biggest company is an industrial giant which makes everything from toasters to jet engines. GE has sales of $110 bn—nearly ten times that of Microsoft and 340,000 employees worldwide. It has seen its profits grow by 15% a year to $11 bn. GE Capital Services, its financial subsidiary make up nearly half its sales. GE produces power generation systems, locomotive, medical imaging equipment and electrical appliances. It also owns the U.S. television network NBC and its financial news subsidiary, CNBC, and ironically, a joint venture with Microsoft to provideMicrosoft’s shares now face a further period of uncertainty as the company’s legal battle continues. It could also face difficulty in recruiting and retaining employees whose pay has been boosted by their share options. The Seattle based firm is likely to go to an appeals court on any rulings. It could suffer further losses from lawsuits brought by competitors, who would be able to claim triple（三倍）damages for any losses suffered. And with its energy and resources tied up in the lawsuits, the company may find it difficult to continue to innovate in the future, or1B) its involvement in a lawsuit（诉讼）1B) after it has beaten Intel and risen to the second p13. Which is now the second biggest company in the United States?C) Cisco Systems.14. Which of the following companies is owned by General Electric and Microsoft together?15. Why is it difficult for Microsoft to retain employees?A)B)C)D)Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage：Paradise Lost is Milton’s masterpiece. Its story is taken from the Bible, about “the fall of man”, that is, how Adam and Eve are tempted by Satan to disobey God by eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and how they are punished by God and driven out of Paradise. In Milton’s words, the purpose of writing the epic is to “justify the ways of God to men”, but apparently, Milton is uttering his intense hatred of cruelness of the ruler in the poem. By depicting Satan and his followers as well as their fiery utterance and brave actions, Milton is showing a Puritan’s（清教徒的）revolt against the dictator and against the established CatholicsIn the poem God is no better than a cruel and selfish ruler, seated on a throne with a group of angels about him singing songs to praise him. His long speeches are not pleasing at all. He is cruel and unjust in punishing Satan. His angels are stupid. But Satan is by far the most striking character in the poem, who rises against God and, though defeated, still persists in hisAdam and Eve shows Milton’s belief in the power of man. God denies them a chance to pursue for knowledge. It is this longing for knowledge that opens before mankind a wide road to int elligent and active life. It has been noted by many critics that Milton’s revolutionary feelings makes him forget religious doctrines（教条）. The angels who surround the God never think of expressing any opinions of their own, and they never seem to have any opinions of their own. The image of God surrounded by such angels resembles the court of an absolute monarch（君主）. But Satan and his followers, who freely discuss all issues in council, remind16. This passage is most probabl1A) desc1B) contrary to what is depicted in the Bi1A) If Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit, human being would be ignorant until2B) criticD) expressing his support for the fight of SatanPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates (下属). They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness (服从) and independence. From that moment on they are tested again and again --- by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or tonineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities --- those of love and of reason --- are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.21. By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery” the author intends to say that man is ________.A). a necessary part of the society though each i ndividual’s function is negligibleB). working in complete harmony with the rest of the societyC). an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society, though functioningsmoothlyD). a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly22. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ___________.A. they are likely to lose their jobsB). they have no genuine satisfaction or interest in lifeC). they are faced with the fundamental realities of human existenceD). they are deprived of their individuality and independence23. From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those __________.A). who are at the bottom of the societyB). who are higher up in their social statusC). who prove better that their fellow-competitorsD). who could keep far away from this competitive world24. To solve the present social problems the author suggests that we should ___________.A). resort to the production mode of our ancestorsB). offer higher wages to the workers and employeesC). enable man to fully develop his potentialitiesD). take the fundamental realities for granted25. The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summ arized as one of __________.A) approval B). dissatisfactionC). suspicion D). toleranceSection BDirections: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%)As researchers learn more about how children’s intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence—the child’s understanding of language, learning patterns, curiosity—are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children’s achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science.In view of their power, it’s sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child’s intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school andparents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course, children shouldn’t be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually—and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four and five-year-olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.26. What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children’s intelligence?27. What do researchers conclude about children’s learning patterns?28. In which area may school play a more important role?29. Why did many parents fail to make the most of their children’s intelligence?30. The author suggests in the last paragraph that parents should be encouraged to _________.Part IV Error Correction （10%）Directions: In this part there is one passage.In the passage there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line.

Such a place, however, is very good to be true: 32.such a place is nowhere, and that's what the word "Utopia"means. It is made up two Greek words meaning "not a place". 33.The word was first used by Thomas More, a sixteen century 34.English writer whose book Utopia, published in 1516,describing a perfect island country. More's idea for tale came 35.from Plato. Plato's The Republic described what would be aperfect state. Early legends told a perfect place existing 36. somewhere in Atlantic. These legends were no longer believed 37.when the explorations of Americans began, but after More'stime they became common for writers to imagine these places. 38.Utopia, if is effected, would not suddenly make everything 39.perfect because people are of nature imperfect. 40.Part IV Translation (25%)Section ADirections: In this part there are ten incomplete plete the sentences on the Answer Sheet by translating into English the Chinese given in the brackets．(15%)41. （在那里开办一家企业）is like having an endless pile of money at your disposal .42.Suzanne （试图训斥我）about repairs to my wheelchair .43.His friends can never （拿不准他会怎么做）.44.What matters is not whether the engaged couple have faith in each other，（而是客观地看待婚姻本身）.45.You seem to be quite certain that I will accept it. （如果我说不接受呢）?46. （工作不是惩罚也不是负担）,work is the opportunity to realize one’s potential .47.He tried to save it （可是白费力气）.48.Being prepared , we shall be able to （恰当的应付各种复杂的局面）.49.He is no stranger here for he （以前经常来）.50.The book is （反映了30年代的中国社会）.Section BDirections: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answer on the Answer Sheet.(10%)Critics claim that advertising costs consumers money; advertisers assert that it saves consumers money. Certainly, a low CPM makes advertising more efficient than the personal selling. It replaces and allows it to supply most efficiently the consumer information that can create a mass market, with its associated economies of scale. Much of today’s advertising, however, waste money because competitors cancel out each other’s efforts. If two companies producing similar soft drinks spent great sums to increase their market shares, with the result that neither gains, then that money has been spent with no benefit to either producers or consumers.Part VI Writing (15%)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition entitled “What Makes an Olympic Champion?”.
