There are many kinds of racing 21 almost every means of transportation and physical activity. There are races on foot, 22 vehicles of all kinds and on horses. There are races between animals large and small—horses, dogs and even frogs. Sometimes prizes are 23 for victory, but often the pleasure is enough reward.Foot racing was a major sport at the ancient Greek Olympic Games. 24 were rewarded and honored by the people. This sport was 25 at the Roman games. Foot racing is a sport in which endurance is often important. In short the competitors run the course as fast as they can but in longer 26 ..T hey must save enough strength to end the race in a strong finish.As various machines 27 for speed were developed, man raced them. He has raced boats, bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles and airplanes.Most races involve direct 28 by the participants. They start at the same time from a starting 29 .The first to 30 the finish line is the winner. However, mass starts are dangerous in some races, such as skiing. In these 31 competitors run the course individually. The person or team to complete the course in the 32 time is the winner.Relay race are 33 races. Each team member races the same distance. As the first man finishes, the second 34 .This continues until each team member complete his part of the race. Victory is awarded to the team 35 to an individual.21.

Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Passage 1NASA scientis ts said the examination revealed as many questions as answers. “We have now a number of hypotheses（假设）about what’s going on in the Martian soil,” said Steve Squyres, principal investigator from Connell University, describing the soil analysis that the rover conducted on Monday.The six-wheeled robot turned its attention Tuesday to the large, sharply angled rock scientists have dubbed “Adirondack.” Results of that testing were expected on Wednesday. The Spirit rover is being used to examine its surroundings in the Gusey Crater as scientists search for evidence that the planet’s surface once had liqui d water.“We don’t know that this soil came from the Gusey Crater. The stuff could have come from somewhere else. It’s going to be very interesting. To dig some holes and see if it looks the same deeper down”, Squyres said. One instrument told scienti sts the soil contained a mixture of materials that included a mineral called olivine.Scientists were surprised to find olivine, which is usually associated with volcanic eruptions, said Squyres. Mission members now believe the soil could be a layer of finely ground lava, he said.“That would be a surprise to me,” he said. “I think we’re going to learn wonderful things by using the wheels to scrape and push” the soil away to see what’s underneath. Another tool detected the elements iron, argon, sulfur, chlorine, nickel and zinc in the soil, said Johannes Brueckner of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Chemistry.Most of the minerals had been noted during previous Mars expeditions, but this is the first time scientists have detected nickel and zincs, he said. Spirit extended its robotic arm Tuesday and placed a drilling tool against the surface of the “Adirondack” rock to test the drill’s position, said Jennifer Trosper, mission manager for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.Mission members were still deciding whether to use the tool to drill into the rock to see if its inner composition matches readings they were collecting from its exterior using other instruments. Scientists believe the rock is made of a volcanic rock called basalt. “You can think of it as a time capsule that contains a history of its formation,” said Dave Des Marais of NASA’s Ames Research Center.Trosper said the rover was doing remarkably well and was transmitting an “incredible amount of data. It’s like we got an Internet upgrade overnight.” Spirit’s twin, Opportunity, is due to land Saturday on Meridiani Planum, which lies halfway around the planet from Spirit’s Jan. 3 landing site in Gusev Crater.36. When NASA scientists said the examination revealed as many questions as answers, theyprobably imply ______________.[A] the examination revealed many questions as well as many answers[B] the examination has already provided ready answers to all the many questions[C] that while tile examination revealed the questions scientists would quickly find answers tothem[D] that corresponding hypotheses were formulated as to all th e questions the rover’s analysisrevealed37. The verb phrase “have dubbed” is best used to mean ___________[A] have doubted [B] have named[C] have honored [D] have doubled38. The main idea of Paragraph Three can best be ____________.[A] the examination has not only found soil from the Gusey Crater or from somewhere else, butalso has determined its content[B] it’s very interesting to dig some holes and see what is inside[C] NASA scientists now feel sure that the soil contained a mixture of materials with olivineinside[D] NASA scientists are not sure if the soil tine instrument examined came from the Gusey Crateror came from somewhere else39. Which of the following elements belong to what had not been detected in the previous Marsexpeditions?[A] Iron and argon[B] sulfur and chlorine[C] nickel and zinc[D] nickel and sulfur40. The tone of the author in this passage sounds ______________.[A] cool-hearted and analytic[B] objective and critical[C] sympathetic and thoughtful[D] optimistic and confidentPassage 2It is incongruous（不协调）that the number of British institutions offering MBA courses should have grown by 254 per cent during a period when the economy has been sliding into deeper recession. Optimists, or those given to speedy assumptions might think it marvelous to have such a resource of business school graduates ready for the recovery. Unfortunately, there is now much doubt about the value of the degree—not least among MBA graduates themselves, suffering as they are from the effects of recession and facing the prospect of shrinking management structures.What was taken some years ago as a ticket of certain admission to success is now being exposed to the scrutiny（审查）of cost-conscious employers who seek “can-dos” rather than “might- dos”, and who feel that academia has not been sufficiently appreciative of the needs of industry or of the employers’ possible requirements.Perhaps companies that made large investments would have been wiser to invest in already existing managers, resting anxiously on their own internal ladders. The Institute of Management’s 1992 survey, which revealed that eighty-one percent of managers thought they would be more effective if they received more training, suggests that this might be the case. There is, too, the fact that training alone does not make successful managers. They need the inherent qualifications of character, a degree of self-control, and, above all, the ability to communicate and lead.One can easily think of people, some comparatively unlettered, who are now praised captains of industry. We may, therefore not need to be too concerned about the fall in applications for business school places or even the doubt about MBAs. The increase and subsequent questioning may havebeen an inevitable evolution. If the Management Charter Initiative now exploring the introduction of a senior management qualification is successful, there will be a powerful corrective.We believe now that management is all about change. One hopes there will be some of that in the relationship between management and science within industry, currently causing concern and which is overdue for attention. No one doubts that we need more scientists and innovation to give us an edge in an increasingly competitive world. If scientists feel themselves undervalued andunder-used, working in industrial is not a promising signal for the future. It seems we have to resolve these misunderstandings between science and industry. Above all, we have to make sure that management is not itself proud of its status and that it does not issue mission statements about communication without realizing that the essence of it is a dialogue.41. According to the passage, the author believed that __________[A] there are too many MBAs[B] the degree is over-valued[C] standards are inconsistent[D] the degree has doubtful value42. According to the passage, employers ____________[A] feel that they have not been consulted sufficiently about their needs .[B] consider that cost-consciousness is the most important qualification[C] are more concerned about the value of the degree than graduates themselves[D] feel that MBAs will be not necessary because of shrinking management structures43. It can be learned from the passage that ______________.[A] managers need the ability to communicate to a degree[B] training needs to be done in groups to be successful[C] managers today must have good communication and leadership skills[D] industrial managers do not need to write letters44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________[A] science increases competition[B] scientists are undervalued[C] management of science needs reassessment[D] management feels proud of its status45. Which of the following is True according to the passage?[A] Employers today are looking for proven experience rather than potential ability.[B] Companies would have benefited more from investing in their own staff rather than recruitingMBAs.[C] Most managers interviewed felt that their colleagues needed more training.[D] The Management Charter Initiative is an attempt to standardize MBAsPassage 3We have less in common with our nearest animal relative than we thought, at least if our DNA is anything to go by. New comparisons of human and chimpanzee（黑猩猩）DNA show there are more differences than we realized.For years, one very special number has helped shape both our sense of self and our sense of kinship with our closest relative, Pan troglodytes. We’re told that we share 98.5 per cent of our DNA with chimps, a figure boasted so widely it has almost become a manta (圣歌). Now it seems thatnumber is wrong. We actually share less than 95 per cent of our genetic material, so the difference is three times as great as was thought.The new figure came to light when Roy Britten of the California Institute of Technology became suspicious about the reliability of the 98.5 per cent figure. It was originally derived from a technique that Britten himself developed decades ago at Caltech with his colleague Dave Kohne. By measuring the temperature at which corresponding stretches of DNA from two species comes apart, you can work out how different they are.But the technique only picks up one type of variation, called a single base substitution (单基因替代). This is when a single “letter” of the genetic code differs in corresponding strands of DNA from the two species.But there are two other major types of variation which the previous analyses ignored. Insertions add a whole section of DNA to one species but not to the corresponding strand of the other. Likewise, deletions mean that a piece of DNA has been lost from one species but not from the other. Together, t hey’re termed “indels”.So Britten looked for the true variation between the two species by analyzing five stretches of chimp DNA just published on the Internet.When he compared these to corresponding pieces of human DNA, he found that single base substitutions accounted for a difference of 1.4 per cent, very close to the expected figure. But he also found that the DNA of both species was littered with indels that add around 4 per cent to the genetic differences between us and chimps.The result is only based on about 1 million DNA bases out of the 3 billion which make up the hum an and chimp genomes, says Britten. “It’s just a glance.” But the differences appear to be evenly distributed across “junk” regions of DNA and regions that contain genes.46. The first paragraph of this passage implies but does not clearly state that __________.[A] we should have confidence in conventional beliefs[B] chimpanzees are not our nearest animal relatives[C] DNA is not such a reliable source for determination in this area[D] The DNA of chimpanzees has very little in common with that of humans47. Roy Britten believes that the differences between humans and chimpanzees may well be about[A] 98.5% [B] 95% [C] 1.5% [D] 5%48. The original figure is wrong because it is based merely on __________.[A] A single base substitution[B] insertions[C] deletions[D] indels49. Britten thinks that his study on DNA of humans and chimpanzees is __________.[A] quite complete[B] only of preliminary work[C] not very reliable[D] probably misleading50. Which of the following might be the most appropriate title for the passage?[A] Not such close relatives after all[B] Development of DNA technology.[C] Chimpanzees are our closest relatives.[D] Distribution of DNA in the chimpanzees.Passage FourThough England was on the whole prosperous and hopeful, though by comparison with her neighbors she enjoyed internal peace, she could not deny the fact that the world of which she formed a part was torn by hatred and conflicts as fierce as any in human history. Men were still far from recognizing that two religions could exist side by side in the same society; they believed that the toleration of another religion different from their own, and hence necessarily false, must inevitably destroy such a society and bring all its members into danger of hell. So the struggle went on with increasing angry within each nation to impose a single brief upon every subject, and within the general society of Christendom to impose it upon every nation. In England the Reformers, or Protestants（新教）, aided by the power of the Crown, had at this stage triumphed, but over Europe as a whole Rome was beginning to recover some of the ground it had lost after Martin Luther’s revolt in the earlier part of the century. It did this in two ways, by the activities of its missionaries（传教士）, as in parts of Germany, or by the military might of the Catholic Powers, as in the Low Countries, where the Dutch provinces were sometimes under the pressure of Spanish arms. Against England, the most important of all the Protestant nations to re-conquer, military might was not yet possible because the Catholic Powers were too occupied and divided; and so, in the 157,. Rome bent her efforts, as she had done a thousand years before in the days of Saint Augustine, to win England back by means of her missionaries.These missionaries were young Englishmen who had either never given up the old faith, or having done so, had felt called to become priests. There being, of course, no Catholic seminaries（神学院）left in England, they went abroad, at first quite easily, later with difficulty and danger, to study in the English colleges at Douai or Rome: the former established for the training of ordinary orlong-term clergy（牧师）, the other for the member of the Society of Jesus, commonly known as Jesuits, a new order established by St. Ignatius Loyola some thirty years before. The long-term missionary came first; they achieved a success which even the most eager could hardly have expected.Cool-minded and well-informed men, like Cecil, had long predicted that the conversion of the English people to Protestantism was far from complete; many-Cecil thought even the majority had doubt at the rapid changes in belief and forms of worship imposed on them in so short a time. Thus it happened that the missionaries found a welcome, not only with the families who had secretly offered them hospitality if they came, but with many others whom their first hosts invited to meet them or passed them on to. They would land at the ports in disguise（伪装）, as merchants, courtiers, and make for their first house of refuge. There they preach to（传教）the households and to such of the neighbors as their hosts trusted and presently go on to some other locality to which they were directed or from which they received a call.51.

Translate the five sentences underlined into Chinese and write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2 (15 points)We have been speaking of the love of which a person is the object. I wish now speak of the affection that a person gives. 56) This also is of two different kinds of love one of which is perhaps the most important expression of a passion for life, while the other is an expression of fear. The former seems to me wholly admirable, while the latter is at best a consolation. If you are sailing in a ship on a fine day along a beautiful coast, you admire the coast and feel pleasure in it. This pleasure is one derived entirely from looking outward, and has nothing to do with any desperate need of your own. If, on the other hand, your ship is wrecked and you swim towards the coast, you acquire for it a new kind of love: it represents security against the waves, and its beauty or ugliness becomes an unimportant matter. 57) The better sort of love corresponds to the feeling of the man whose ship is secure, the less excellent sort corresponds to that of the survivor of ship-wrecked. The first of these kinds of affection is only possible in so far as a man feel safe, or at any rate is indifferent to such dangers as beset him; the latter kind, on the contrary, is caused by the feeling of insecurity. 58) While recognizing the fact that such love has to play in life, we must still hold that it is less excellent than the other kind, since it depends upon fear, and fear is an evil and also because it is moreself-centered.The best type of love is reciprocally life-giving; each receives affection with joy and gives it without effort, and each finds the whole world more interesting in consequence of the existence of this reciprocal happiness. 59) There is, however, another kind, by no means uncommon, in which one person sucks (吮吸) the vitality （活力）of the other, one receives what the other gives, but gives almost nothing in return. Some very vital people belong to bloodsucking type. They extract the vitality from one victim after another, but while they prosper and grow interesting, those upon whom they live grow pale. Such people use others as means to their own ends, and never consider them asends in themselves. 60) Fundamentally they are not interested in those whom for the moment they think they love; they are interested only in the stimulus to their own activities, perhaps of a quite inconsiderate sort. Evidently this springs from some defect in their nature, but it is one not altogether easy either to diagnose or to cure.Section V WritingDirections:In this section, you are required to write a composition entitled “Is Money Everything?”.
