Part III Reading Comprehension (40%)
Direction: There are 4 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. Then blacken the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.
PASSAGE1.
Henric Ibsen ,author of the play"A Doll’s House", in which a pretty,
helpless housewife abandons
Her husband and children to seek a more serious life, would surely have
approved.. From January Ist ,
2008, all public companies in Norway are obliged to ensure that at least
40% of their board directors are
women. Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in 2003.But about
75 out of the 480 or so
companies it affects are still too male for the government’s liking. They
will shortly receive a letter
informing them that they have until the end of February to act , or face
the legal consequences---which
could include being dissolved.
Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were
female , according to the Centre for Corporate Diversity .The number has since
jumped to 36%. That is far higher than the average of 9% for big companies
across Europe or America’s 15% for the Fortune 500.Norway’s stock exchange and
its main business lobby oppose the law, as do many businessmen." I am against
quotas for women or men as a matter of principle," says Sverre Munck , head of
international operations at a media firm. "Board members of public companies
should be chosen solely on the basis of merit and experience,"be says. Several
firms have even given up their public status in order to escape the new law.
Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. Many
complain that it has been
Difficult to find experienced candidates. Because of this, some of the best
women have collected as many as 25-35 directorships each, and are known in
Norwegian business circles as the "golden skirts". One reason for the scarcity
is that there are fairly few women in management in Norwegian companies---they
occupy around 15% of senior positions. It has been particularly hard for firms
in the oil, technology and financial industries to find women with a enough
experience.
Some people worry that their relative lack of experience may keep women
quiet on boards, and that
In turn could mean that boards might become less able to hold managers to
account. Recent history in Norway, however, suggests that the right women can
make strong directors. "Women feel more compelled than men to do their
homework," says Ms Reksten Skaugen , who was voted Norway’s chairman of the year
for 2007, "and we can afford to ask the hard questions, because women are not
always expected to know the answers."
41. The author mentions Ibsen’s play in the first paragraph in order to
.
A. depict women’s dilemma at work
B. explain the newly passed law
C. support Norwegian government
D. introduce the topic under discussion
42. A public company that fails to obey the new law could be forced to
.
A. pay a heavy fine
B. close down its business
C. change to a private business
D. sign a document promising to act
43. To which of the following is Sverre Munck most likely to agree?
A. A set ratio of women in a board is unreasonable.
B. A reasonable quota for women at work needs to be set.
C. A common principle should be followed by all companies.
D. An inexperienced businessman is not subject to the new law.
44.The author attributes the phenomenon of "golden skirts" to .
A. the small number of qualified females in management
B. the over-recruitment of female managers in public companies
C. the advantage women enjoy when competing for senior positions
D. the discrimination toward women in Norwegian business circles
45. The main idea of the passage might be .
A. female power and liberation in Norway
B. the significance of Henric Ibsen’s play
C. women’s status in Norwegian firms
D. the constitution of board members in Norway
PASSAGE2.
While there’s never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s
can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis
is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric (小儿科的) cancer
centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting
side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.
In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer
from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she’s
discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare from of
cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.
Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called
her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time
healing addict." Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address
book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her own
personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion
magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of
"cancer babes" offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.
Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel
documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer
isn’t funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the
people who treat her ( Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru ), and she even makes second
sound fun ("cancer road trips," she calls them).
She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and
practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let
cancer ruin my party," she writes. " There
are just too many cool things to do and plan and live for."
Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips
include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or
buying fashionable hospital gowns so you’re not stuck with regulation blue or
gray and playing Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive" so loud you neighbors call the
police. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell
the important people in your illness. " people you tell are going to cautious
and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your
miracle," she writes.
While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every
cancer patient wants: the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe
better.
46. Which of the following groups is more vulnerable to cancer?
A. Children.
B. People in their 20s and 30s.

48. The phrase "cancer posse" (Line 4, para.3 ) probably refers to
________
A. a cancer research organization
B. a group of people who suffer from cancer
C. people who have recovered from cancer
D. people who cope with cancer
49. Kris Carr make up names for the people who treat her because
________
A. she is depressed and likes swearing
B. she is funny and likes playing jokes on doctor
C. she wants to leave the medical advice to doctor
D. she tries to leave a good impression on doctor
50. From Kris Carr’s cancer tips we may infer that ________
A. she learned to use e-mails after she got cancer
B. she wears fashionable dress even after suffering from cancer
C. hospital gowns for cancer patients are usually not in bright colors
D. the neighbors are very friendly with cancer patients
PASSAGE3。
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
Should a leader strive to be loved or feared?This question,famously posed
by Machiavelli,lies at the heart of Joseph Nye’s new book.Mr.Nye,a former dean
of the Kennedy School of Govemment at Harvard and one-time chairman of America’s
National Intelligence Council,is best known for promoting the idea of "soft
power",based on persuasion and influence,as a counterpoint to "hard power",based
on coercion(强迫) and force.
Having analyzed the use of soft and hard power in politics and diplomacy in
his previous books,Mr.Nye has now turned his attention to the relationship
between power and leadership,in both the political and business
spheres.Machiavelli,he notes,concluded that "one ought to be both feared and
loved,but as it is difficult for the two to go together,it is much safer to be
feared than loved."In short,hard power is preferable to soft power.But modem
leadership theorists have come to the opposite conclusion.
The context of leadership is changing,the observe,and the historical
emphasis on hard power is becoming outdated.In modem companies and
democracies,power is increasingly diffused and traditional hierarchies(等级制) are
being undermined,making soft power ever more important.But that does not mean
coercion should now take a back seat to persuasion.Mr.Nye argues.Instead,he
advocates a synthesis of these two views.The conclusion of The Powers to Lead
,his survey of the theory of leadership,is that a combination of hard and soft
power,which he calls”smart power”,is the best approach.
The dominant theoretical model of leadership at the moment is
,apparently,the “transformational leadership pattern”.Anone allergic(反感) to
management term will already be running for the exit,but Mr,Nye has performed a
valuable service in rounding up and summarizing the various academic studies and
theories of leadcriship into a single,slim volume.He examines different
approaches to leadership,the morality of leadership and how the wider context
can determine the effcctiveness of a particular leader.There are plcnty of
anccdotes and examples,both historical and contemporary,political and
corporate.
Alsa,leadership is a slippery subject,and as he depicts various
theories,even Mr.Nye never quite nails the jelly to the wall.He is at his most
interesting when discussing the moral aspects of leadershipin particular,the
question of whether it is sometimes necessary for good leaders to lie -and he
provides a helpful 12-point summary of his conclusions.A recuming theme is that
as circumstances change,different sorts of leadcrs are required;a leader who
thrives in one environment may struggle in another,and vice versa.Ultimately
that is just a fancy way of saying that leadcrship offers no casy answers.
51.From the first two paragraphs we may learn than Mr.Machiavelli’s idea of
hard power is ______.
A.well accepted by Joseph Nye
B.very influential till nowadays
C.based on sound theories
D.contrary to that of modem leadership theorists
52.Which of the following makes soft power more important today according
to Mr.Nye?
A.Coercion is widespread.
B.Morality is devalued.
C.Power is no longer concentrated.
D.Traditional hierarchies are strengthened
53.In his book the Powers to lead,Mr.Nye has exmined all the following
aspects of leadership EXCEPT_____.
A.authority
B.context
C.approaches
D.morality
54.Mr.Nye’s book is particularly valuable in that it _____.
A.makes little use of management terms
B.summarizes various studies concisely
C.serves as an exit for leadership researchers
D.sets a model for contemporary corporate leaders
55.According to the author,the most interesting part of Mr.Nye’s book lies
in his _____.
A.view of changeable leadership
B.definition of good leadership
C.summary of leadership history
D.discussion of moral leadership
PASSAGE4
Questions 56to 60are based on the following passage:
Americans don’t like to lose wars. Of course, a lot depends on how you
define just what a war is. There are shooting wars-the kind that test patriotism
and courage-and those are the kind at which the U.S excels. But other struggles
test those qualities too. What else was the Great Depression or the space race
or the construction of the railroads? If American indulge in a bit of flag—when
the job is done, they earned it.
Now there is a similar challenge. Global warming. The steady
deterioration(恶化)of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of
the first order, and by any measure, the U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the
world’s greenhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it
doesn’t intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the
admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away
from them. There are vague promises of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering
cars with hydrogen. But for a country that tightly cites patriotism as one of
its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the most patriotic
struggle of all. It’s hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival
of a country’s coasts and farms, the health of its people and stability of its
economy.
The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate
change is a global emergency, there’s far less agreement on how to fix it.
Industry offers its pans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists
offer theirs, which too often amount to native wish lists that could weaken
American’s growth. But let’s assume that those interested parties and others
will always bent the table and will always demand that their voices be heard and
that their needs be addressed. What would an aggressive, ambitious, effective
plan look like-one that would leave the U.S. both environmentally safe and
economically sound?
Halting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conservative
plans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of
carbon emissions over the next 52 year. And yet by devising a consistent
strategy that mixes and blends pragmatism(实用主义)with ambition, the U.S. can,
without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate
change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money
will do some of the work, but what’s needed most is will. "I’m not saying the
challenge isn’t almost overwhelming," says Fred Krupp. "But this is America, and
America has risen to these challenges before."
56. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Human wars.
B. Economic crisis.
C. America’s environmental policies.
D. Global environment in general.
57. From the last sentence of paragraph 2 we may learn that the survival of
a country’s coasts and farms, the health of its people and the stability of its
economy is__________.
A. of utmost importance
B. a fight no one can win
C. beyond people’s imagination
D. a less significant issue
58. Judging from the context, the word "rub"(Line 1, Para.3)probably
means_______.
A. friction
B. contradiction
C. conflict
D. problem
59. What is the author’s attitude toward America’s policies on global
warming?
A. Critical
B. Indifferent
C. Supportive
D. Compromising
60. The paragraphs immediately following this passage would most probably
deal with___________.
A. the new book written by Fred Krupp
B. how America can fight against global warming
C. the harmful effects of global warming
D. how America can tide over economic crisis
翻译：
With the nation’s financial system teetering on a cliff. The compensation
arrangements for executives of the big banks and other financial firms are
coming under close examination again.
Bankers’ excessive risk- taking is a significant cause of this financial
crisis and has continued, to others in the past, in this case, it was fueled by
low interest rates and kept going by a false sense of security created by a
debt-fueled bubble in the economy.
Mortgage lenders gladly lent enormous sums to those who could not afford to
pay them back dividing the laws and selling them off to the next financial
institution along the chain, advantage of the same high-tech securitization to
load on more risky mortgage-based assets.
Financial regulation will have to catch up with the most irresponsible
practices that led banks down in this road, in hopes averting the next crisis,
which is likely to involve different financial techniques and different sorts of
assets. But it is worth examining the root problem of compensation schemes that
are tied to short-term profits and revenue’s, and thus encourage bankers to take
irresponsible risks.
Part V Writing (20%)
Direction: In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the
following information. Make comments and express your own opinion. You should
write at least 150 words on Answer Sheet 2.
At present, there is no doubt that short message plays an increasingly
important role in our lives . We are all aware that, like everything else, short
message have both favorable and unfavorable aspects.
Generally speaking, the advantages can be listed as follows. First of all,
in festivals, we can send short messages to wish good luck to other people we
know. It brings us a lot of convenience. In addition, short message connects its
users with the outside world. For example, some people subscribe weather
forecast or news short messages, with them, people’s life will be greatly
enriched.
But it is pity that every coin has two sides. The disadvantages of short
message can’t be ignored. We spend too much time on spelling our words and
sending short messages that we can’t focus on our studies. Also, you will always
be annoyed by strangers’ short messages one after another.
As is known to all, short message is neither good nor bad itself. In my
opinion, we can use it. But we shouldn’t spend too much time on it and don’t let
it disturb us from our lives.
