Section II Cloze (10 points)
Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each
numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory.The
meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions,the bases 21the decisions we
make,and the roots of our habits and skills are to be 22in our past
experiences,which are broughtsintosthe present23memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep 24 available for later use.It
includes not only"remembering"thing like arithmetic or historical facts,but also
any change in the way an animal typically behaves.Memory is25when a rat gives
up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain
pile.Memory is also involved when a sixyearold child learns to swing a
baseball bat.
Memory26not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects
and machines.Computers,for example,contain devices for storing data for later
use.It is interesting to compare the memorystorage capacity of a
computer27that of a human being.The instantaccess memory of a large computer
may hold up to 100,000"words"ready for28use.A naverage American teenager
probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,000 words of English.However,this
is but a fraction of the total29of information which the teenager has
stored.Consider,for example,the number of facts and places that the teenager can
recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problemsolving

Section III Reading comprehension (40 points)
Section A
Directions:.There are 5 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 blacken the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil..
Questions 31 to 34 are based on the following passage:
The stability of the U.S. banking system is maintained by means of
supervision and regulation,inspections,deposit insurance,and loans to troubled
banks.For over 50 years,these precautions have prevented banking
panics.However,there have been some close calls.The collapse of Continental
lllinois Bank & Trusted Company of Chicago in 1984 did not bring down the
banking system,but it certainly rattled some windows.
In the late 1970s,Continental soared to a leadership position among
Midwestern banks.Parts of its growth strategy were risky,however.It made many
loans in the energy field,including billion that it took over from Penn Square
Band of Oklahoma City.To obtain the funds it needed to make these
loans,Continental relied heavily on shortterm borrowing from other banks and
large,30day certificates of deposit-"hot money",in banking jargon.At least one
Continental officer saw danger signs and wrote a warning memo to her
superiors,but the memo went unheeded .Although the Comptroller of the Currency
inspected Continental on a regular basis,it failed to see low serious its
problems were going to be.
Penn Square Bank was closed by regulators in July 1982.When energy prices
began to slip,most of the billion in loans that Continental had taken over from
the smaller banks turned out to be had.Other loans to troubled companies such
Chrysler,lnternational Harvester,and Braniff looked questionable.Seeing these
problem,"hot money"owners began to pull their funds out of Continental.
By the spring of 1984,a run on Continental had begun.In May,the bank had to
borrow .5 billion from the Fed to replace overnight funds it bad lost.But this
was not enough.To try to stem the outflow of deposits from Continemtal,the FDIC
agreed to guarantee not just the first ,000 of each depositors money but all of
it.Nevertheless,the run continued.http://www.mbajyz.cn
Federal regulators tried hard to find a sound bank that could take over
Continental-a common way of rescuing failing banks.But Continental was just too
big for anyone to buy.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was
dashed.Regulators faced a stark choice:Let Continental collapse,or take it over
themselves.
Letting the bank fail seemed too risky.It was estimated that more than 100
other banks had placed enough funds in Continental to put them at risk if
Continental failed.Thus,on a rainy Thursday at the end of July,the FDIC in
effect nationalized Continental Illinois at a cost of .5 billion.This kept the
banks doors open and prevented a chain reaction.However,in all but a technical
sense,Continental had become the biggest bank failure in U.S.history.
31.In the spring of 1984,Continental experienced------.
Aa fast growth period. Ba stability period
Ca run. Dan oil price decrease.
32.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was------.
Adestroyed. Babsurd
Cdesperate. Ddamaged.

Continental.
Calmost brought down the banking system
Dfired many highranking officers.
34.Banking panics may be prevented by means of------.
Adeposit insurance.Bgrowth strategy
Clongterm borrowing.Dwarning memo.
Questions 35 to 38 are based on the following passage:
If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills,American
firms have a problem.Humanresource management is not traditionally seen as
central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States.Skill
acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility.Labor is simply
another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much
as one buys raw materials or equipment.http://www.mbajyz.cn
The lack of importance attached to humanresource management can be seen in
the corporation hierarchy.In an American firm the chief financial officer is
almost always second in command.The post of head of humanresource managements
is usually a specialized job,off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy.The
executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has
no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO).By way of contrast,in Japan
the head of humanresource management is central-usually the second most
important executive,after the CEO,in the firms hierarchy.
While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training
their work forces,in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than
do the Japanese or German firms.The money they do invest is also more highly
concentrated on professional and managerial employees.And the limited
investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly
focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the
basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.
As a result,problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive.If
American workers,for example,take much longer to learn how to operate new
flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as they do),the
effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United
Stated.More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity,and
the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that
limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.The result is a slower
pace of technological change.And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the
population affect the wages of the top half.If the bottom half cant effectively
staff the processes that have to be operated,the management and professional
jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
35.Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in
American companies?
A.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.
B.They see the gaining of skills as their employees own business.
C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment..
D.They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.
36.What is the position of the head of human resource management in an
American firm?
A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm..
B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are
introduced.
C.He is directly under the chief financial executive.
D.He has no authority in making important decisions in the firm..
37.The money most American firms spend in training mainly goes to----.
Aworkers who can operate new equipmenthttp://www.mbajyz.cn
Btechnological and managerial staff
Cworkers who lack basic background skills
Dtop executives.
38.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human
resource management.
B.Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective humanresource man
agement.
C.The head of humanresource management must be in the central position in
a firms hierarchy..
D.The humanresource management strategies of American firms affect their
competitive capacity...
Questions 39 to 42 are based on the following passage:
Internet is a vast network of computers that connects many of the worlds
businesses,institutions,and individuals.The internet,which means interconnected
network of networks,links tens of thousands of smaller computer networks.These
networks transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words,images,and
sounds.
The Internet was information on virtually every topic.Network users can
search through sources ranging from vast databases to small electronic"bulletin
boards ,"where users form discussion groups around common interests.Much of the
Internets traffic consists of messages sent from one computer user to
another.These messages are called electronic mail or email.Internet users have
electronic addresses that allow them to send and receive email.Other uses of
the network include obtaining news,joining electronic debates,and playing
electronic games.One feature of the Internet,known as the World Wide
Web,provides graphics,audio,and video to enhance the information in its
documents.These documents cover a vast number of
topics.http://www.mbajyz.cn
People usually access the Internet with a device called a modem.Modems
connect computers to the network through telephone lines.Much of the Internet
operates through worldwide telephone networks of fiberoptic cables.These cables
contain hairthin strands of glass that carry data as pulses of light.They can
transmit thousands of times more data than local phone lines,most of which
consist of copper wires.
The history of the Internet began in the 1960s.At that time,the Advanced
Research Projects Agency (ARPA)of the United States Department of Defense
developed a network of computers called ARPAnet.Originally,ARPAnet connected
only military a nd government computer systems.Its purpose was to make these
systems secure in the event of a disaster or was.Soon after the creation of
ARPAnet,universities and other institutions developed their own computer
networks.These networks eventually were merged with ARPAnet to form the
Internet.By the 1990s,anyone with a computer,modem,and Internet software could
link up to the Internet.
In the future,the Internet will probably grow more sophisticated as
computer technology becomes more powerful.Many experts believe the Internet may
become part of a larger network called the information superhighway.This
network,still under development,would link computers with telephone
companies,cable television stations,and other communication systems.People could
bank,shop,watch TV,and perform many other activities through the network.
39.This passage is about the------of the Internet.
Afuture.Bgeneral introduction
Cuse.Dhistory.
40.Which of the following statements about the Internet is true?
A.ARPA was the first net used by American universities and
institutions.
B.The history of the Internet can be traced back to fifty years ago.
C.The purpose of the Internet is to protect the world in the event of
war.
D.ARPAnet formed the foundation of the Internet nowadays...
41.The Internet enables people to do all the following things
EXCEPT----.
Asending email.Bobtaining news
Cexchanging modem.Dinternet related chat(IRC).
42.According to the last paragraph,in the future------.
A.in may be hard to predict the development of the Internet.
B.the Internet will become an indispensable superhighway.
C.the Internet will be applied more.
D.the Internet will combine cable stations.
Questions 43 to 46 are based on the following passage:
Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is
destiny.According to this ideology,basic biological and psychological
differences exist between the sexes.These differences require each sex to play a
separate role in social life.Women are the weaker sexboth physically and
emotionally.Thus,they are naturally suited,much more so than men,to the
performance of domestic duties .A womans place,under normal circumstances,is
within the protective environment of the home.Nature has determined that women
play caretaker roles,such as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand,men
are best suited to go outsintosthe competitive world of work and politics,where
serious responsibilities must be taken on.Men are to be the providers;women and
children are"dependents."
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household
should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities
of their sex.It is thus appropriate for women,not men,to be employed as
nurses,social workers,elementary school teachers,household helpers,and clerks
and secretaries.
These positions are simply an extension of womens domestic role.Informal
distinctions between"womens work"and"mens work"in the labor force,according to
the ideology,are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between
the sexes.http://www.mbajyz.cn
Finally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another
significant way.For the human species to survive over time,its members must
regularly reproduce.Thus,women must,whether at home or in the labor force,make
the most of their physical appearance.
So goes the ideology.It is,of course,not true that basic biological and
psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sexdefined
roles in social life.There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to
society,and those role differences that to exist are largely learned.
But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that
nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to
society,sexdefined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
43.Womens place,some people think,is within the protective environment of
the home because------.
A.women can provide better care for the children.
B.women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all.
C.women are biologically suited to domestic jobs.
D.women can not compete with men in any field.
44.According to the author,sex roles------.
Aare socially determined
B.are emotionally and physically determined.
C.can only be determined by what education people take.
D.are biologically and psychologically determined.
45.The author points out that the assignments of womens roles in
work------.
A.are determined by what they are better suited to.
B.grow out of their position inside the home.
C.reflect a basic difference between men and women.
D.are suitable to them,but not to men.
46.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The division of sexdefined roles is completely unacceptable..
B.Womens roles in work are too limited at present..
C.In one society,men might perform what is considered womens duties by
another.
D.Some of the womens roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by
men.
Questions 47 to 50 are based on the following passage:
In a sense,the new protectionism is not protectionism at all,at least not
in the traditional sense of the term.The old protectionism referred only to
traderestricting and tradeexpanding devices,such as the tariff or export
subsidy.The new protectionism is much broader than this;it includes
interventionssintosforeign trade but is not limited to them.The new
protectionism,in fact,refers to how the whole of government
interventionsintosthe private economy affects international trade.The emphasis
on trade is still there,thus came the term"protection."But what is new is the
realization that virtually all government activities can affect international
economic relations.
The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the
victory of the interventionist,or welfare economy over the market economy.Jab
Tumiler writes,"The old protectionism…coexisted,without any apparent
intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well
as an international economic distribution mechanism-indeed,protectionists as
well as (if not more than)free traders stood for laissezfaire(放任政策).Now,as in
the 1930s,protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the
ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to
societiessatisfaction."
It is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is
responsible for the protectionism.In a market economy,economic change of various
colors implies redistribution of resources and incomes.The same opinion in many
communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper.There
fore,the government intervenes(干涉;干预)to bring about a more desired result.
The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe.In
Sweden ,Norway,Finland,Denmark,and the Netherlands,government intervention in
almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal.In Great
Britain this is only somewhat less true.Government traditionally has played a
very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so.Only West
Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in
Western Europe.It also happens to be the most successful Western European
economy.
The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as
well as in Western Europe.Social security,unemployment insurance,minimumwage
laws,and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the
American scene.
47.This passage is primarily concerned with discussing------.
A.the definition of the new protectionism.
B.the difference between new and old protectionism.
C.the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world.
D.the significance of the welfare state.
48.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare
state mentioned in this passage?
AFree education is available to a child.
BLaws are made to fix the minimum wage.
CA jobless person can be insured.
DThere are regulations for rent.
49.Which of the following inferences is true,according to this
passage?
A.The economy developed faster in welfare states than in nonwelfare
states.
B.In the 1930s,protectionism began to rise.
C.The new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest.
D.Government plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe
than in Great Britain...
50.The passage supplies information for answering which of the following
questions?
AWhen did the new protectionism arise?http://www.mbajyz.cn
B.Why is the new protectionism so popular in northern European
countries?.
C.Does the American government play a more active role in economic life
than the British government?.
D.Why does the government intervene in economic life?.
Section B
Directions:.Read the following passage carefully and then give short
answers to the five questions.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet..
In a television interview,Mr.Daniel Brummage,President of the International
Olympics Committee,is defending his Committees decision to hold the Games again
in four years time.
Ever since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896,theyve had their
critics.Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble.But part of the aim
of the Games ,when they were first held in ancient Greece,was to discourage war
between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.My Committee and
I intend to see that they go on doing this.
The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could
be more harmfully employed.In my opinion,it does a lot of good,getting people to
forget their differences in a communal activity.Any competitor or spectator at
the Games or in the Olympic Village will tell you that the atmosphere of
friendship there is unforgettable:as if the world were one big family.And the
hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate,only exist in a few
quarters.What we suffer from is bad publicity,not had
sportsmanship.http://www.mbajyz.cn
These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the
world.Not only do they bring sportsmen together,but they unite a world
public.Isn´t this a sufficient reason for continuing then?Of course,a few people
are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda(宣传),but this is no reason
why the Games should be canceled.Why should every harmless activity be spoiled
for the majority by the minority?
No!As long as the majority wants it,these Games will continue.This is
sport,sir,not politics,and I intend that it should remain so.
51.Is that right that all the people in the world agree to hold the
Olympic Games?.
52When did the modern Olympic Games begin?
53.What is the purpose of the Olympic Committee to hold the Games?
54.What does Mr.Daniel Brummage criticize in his speech and Why?.
55Will the Games continue?Why?
PARTⅣTranslation (15%)
Directions:.In this part there is a passage in English.Translate the five
sentences underlinedsintosChinese and write your translation on the Answer Sheet
. .
(56)The types of daydreams,whether they are pleasant and hopeful or filled
with despair take shape in childhood when everyone develops one of three basic
daydreaming styles:positive negative and scattered American Health
reports.Although everyone lapses occasionallysintoseach of these types,positive
daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy,playful or entertaining of these
types, positive daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy,playful or
entertaining scenarios.(57)Negative daydreamers tend to dwell on lifes darker
side.imagining dangerous and/or life threatening situations,such as the
appearance of afatal or weakening disease or becoming a victim of
violence.Scattered day dreamers are easily bored and distracted."Their mental
images tend to be fleeting,repetitive and shallow,like variations on the same
fairy tales,"explains Yale psychologist Roni Tower.
(58)While all three types are common,positive imaginations are likeliest to
serve as springboards(跳板)for problem solving,while negative and scattered
daydreams may leave a person feeling anxious.Negative daydreamers are waiting
for the other shoe"to fall."Their imaginations are often guiltridden or
obsessive.
There are times when drifting away can cause problems,according to
Blodin."If daydreaming gets in the way of daily function because the person is
doing it all day,the person wont be very productive,"she says."The amount of
time and the frequency that a person daydreams is whats important.It should not
take up all of your time.(59)If people find their daydreaming is becoming
excessive(过多的),they should take a realistic look at whats going on in their
life and ask themselves what they are trying to avoid.Then they can assess what
steps they need to take to correct the situation."(Anyone who has a hard time
discriminating between reality and imagination or starts replacing reallife
family and friends with imagined people should seek professional
help.)http://www.mbajyz.cn
(60)Professor Singer sums up the advantages of daydreams to the average
person:"by sitting quietly and letting your daydreams emerge instead of
squelching(抑制)them,you may find there are parts of yourself you havent been
listening to.Instead of fearing them,youll gain access to tremendous range of
interesting,creative ideas."
