Passage
l
Tight-lipped elders used to say, "It`s not what you
want in this world, but what you get. "Psych- ology teaches that
you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right
things.
You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you
would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making
these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we
intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping
list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential
for any type of meal to be served.
Likewise, If you want to
find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself.
In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you
know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where
to sell your services.
This acoount of yourself is actuaLly
a sketch of your working life and should include alucation, experience
and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to
in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful
in personal interviews.While talking to you,your could-be employer
is deciding whether your "wares" and abilities must be displayed
in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.
When you have
carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you
have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a
job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make
inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your
eyes and ears open, and use your own judgement. Spend a certain amount
of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in
mind: Securing a job is your job now.
51. What do the elders mean
when they say, "It`s not what yau want in this world, but what
you
get. "?
(A) You`ll certainly get what you want.
(B) It`s
no use dreaming.
(C) You should be dissatisfied with what you have.
(D)
It`s essential to set a goal for yourself.
52. A blueprint made
before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as__.
(A)
an illustration of how to write an application for a job
(B) an
indication of how to secure a good job
(C) a guideline for job
description
(D) a principle for job evaluation
53. According
to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting
to find a job
because __.
(A) that is the first step to please
the employer
(B) that is the requirement of the employer
(C)
it enables him to know when to sell his services
(D) it forces
him to become clearly aware of himself
54. When you have carefully
prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have some-
thing__.
(A)
definite to offer (B) imaginary to provide
(C) practical to supply
(D) desirable to present
Passage 2
With the start
of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America
can now watch the Corporation`s news coverage, as well as listen to
it. And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to
two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and
dozens of local radio station. They are brought sport , comedy, drama,
music, news and current affairs , education , religion , parliamentary
coverage, children ` s pragrammes and films for an annual licence
fee of 83 pounds per household.
It is a remarkable record,
stretching back over 70 years--yet the BBC` s future is now in doubt.
The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization,
at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes
are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.
The
debate was launched by the Government , which invited anyone with
an opinion of the
BBC-including ordinary listeners and viewers--to
say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they
thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the
BBC` s royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to
keep the organization as it is,or to make changes.
Defenders
of the Corporation-of whom there are many---are fond of quoting the
American slogan "If it ain`t broke, don`t fix it. " The
BBC "ain` t broke" ,they say, by which they mean it is not
broken (as distinct from the word `broke` , meaning having no money)
, so why bother to change it?
Yet the BBC will have to change,
because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The
commercial
TV channels---TV and Channel 4-were required by the Thatcher Government`s
Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other
for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the anival
of new satellite channels--funded partly by advertising and partly
by viewers` subscriptions-which will bring about the biggest changes
in the long term .
55 . The world famous BBC now faces__ .
(A)
the problem of new coverage (B) an uncertain prospect
( C) inquiries
by the general public (D) shrinkage of audience
56. In the passage,
which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?
(A)
Extension of its TV service to Far East.
(B) Programmes as the
subject of a nation-wide debate.
(C) Potentials for further intemational
co-operations.
(D) Its existence as a broadcasting organization.
57.
The BBC`s "royal charter" (Llne 4, Paragraph 3) stands for__
(A)
the financial support from the roval family (B) the privileges granted
by the Queen
(C) a contract with the Queen (D) a unique relationship
with the royal family
58. The foremost reason why the BBC has to
readjust itself is no other than__
(A) the emergence of commercial
TV channels
(B) the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government
(C)
the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs
(D) the challenge
of new satellite channels
Passage 3
In the last
half of the nineteenth century "capital" and "labour"
were enlarging and perfecting their rival organizations on modern
lines. Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company
with a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical
requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element
and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the
fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after
the energetic founders. It was moreover a step away from individual
initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business.
The railway companies, though still private business managed for the
benefit of shareholders, were very unlike old family business. At
the same time the great municipalities went into business to supply
lighting , trams and other services to the taxpayers .
The
growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had
important consequences. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital
and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders
as a class , an element in national life representing irresponsible
wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and
almost equally detached from the responsible management of business.
All through the nineteenth century, America,Africa, India, Australia
and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital, and British
shareholders were thus enriched by the world ` s movement towards
industrialisation. Towns like Bournemouth and Eastboume sprang up
to house large. " comfonable" classes who had retired on
their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community
except that of drawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholders`
meeting to dictate their orders to the management. On the other hand
"shareholding" meant leisure and freedom which was used
by many of
the later Victorians for the highest purpose of a great
civilisation.
The "shareholders" as such had no
knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed
by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations
of capital and labour was not good. The paid manager acting for the
company was in more direct relation with the men and their demands,
but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen
which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system
of the old family business now passing away. Indeed the mere size
of operations and the numbers of workmen involved rendered such personal
relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and
organization of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades,
enabLed the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies
who employed them. The cruel discipline of the strike and lockout
taught the two parties to respect each other` s strength and understand
the value of fair negotiation .
59. It`s true of the old family
finns that__.
(A) they were spoiled by the younger generations
(B)
they failed for lack of individual initiative
(C) they lacked efficiency
compared with modem companies
(D) they could supply adequate services
to the taxpayers
60. The growth of limited liability companies
resulted in__.
(A) the separation of capital from management
(B)
the ownership of capital by managers
(C) the emergence of capital
and labour as two classes
(D) the participation of shareholders
in municipal business
61 . According to the passage, all of the
following are true except that__.
(A) the shareholders were unaware
of the needs of the workers
(B) the old firm owners hand a better
understanding of their workers
(C) the limited liability Qompanies
were too large to run smoothly
(D) the trade unions seemed to play
a positive role
62. The author is most critical of___ .
(A)
family film owners (B) landowners ( C) managers (D) shareholders
Passage
4
What accounts for the great outburst of major inventions
in early America-breakthroughs such as the telegraph , the steamboat
and the weaving machine?
Among the many shaping factors, I
would single out the country ` s excellent elementary schools; a labor
force that welcomed the new technology; the practice of giving premiums
to inventors ; and above all the American genius for nonverbal , "spatial"thinking
about things technological .
Why mention the elementary schools?
Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics ,especially in
the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate
and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.
Acute foreign observers related American adaptiveness and invelltiveness
to this educational
advantage. As a member of a British commission
visiting here in 1853 reported, "With a mind prepared by thorough
school discipline, the American boy develops rapidly into the skilled
workman. "
A further stimulus to invention came from
the "premium" system, which preceded our patent system and
for years ran parallel with it. "fhis approach,originated abroad,
offered inventors medals, cash prizes and other incentives.
In the United States, multitudes of premiums for new devices were
awarded at country fairs and at the industrial fairs in major cities.
Americans flocked to thess fairs to admire the new machines and thus
to renew their faith in the beneficence of technological advance.
Given this optimistic approach to technological innovation, the American
worker took readily to that special kind of nonverbal thinklng required
in mechanical technology. As Eugene Ferguson has pointed out , "A
technologist thinks about objects that cannot be reduced to unambiguous
verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in his mind by a visual,
nonverbal process . . . The designer and the inventor . . . are able
to assemble and manipulate in their minds devices that as yet do not
exist. "
This nonverbal "spatial" thinking
can be just as creative as painting and writing. Robert Fulton once
wrote, "The mechanic should sit down among levers, screws, wedges,
wheels, etc. ,like a poet among the letters of the alphabet , considering
them as an exhibition of his thoughts, in which a new arrangement
transmits a new idea. "
When all these shaping forces--schools,
open attitudes, the premium system, a genius for spatial thinking--interacted
with one another on the rich U. S. mainland, they produced that American
characteristic , emulation . Today that word implies mere imitation.
But in earlier times it meant a friendly but competitive striving
for fame and excellence.
63. According to the author, the great
outburst of major inventions in early America was in a
large part
due to__
(A) elemental`y schools ( B) enthusiastic workers
(C)
the attractive premium system (D) a special way of thinking
64
. It is implied that adaptiveness and inventiveness of the early American
mechanics__
(A) benefited a lot from their mathematical knowledge
(B) shed light on disciplined school management
(C) was brought
about by privileged home training
(D) owed a lot to the technological
development
65 . A technologist can be compared to an artist because
__
(A) they are both winners of awards
(B) they are both experts
in spatial thinking
(C) they both abandon verbal description
(D)
they both use various instruments
66. The best title for this passage
might be__
(A) Inventive Mind (B) Effective Schooling
(B) Ways
of Thinking (D) Outpouring of Inventions
Passage 5
Rumor has it that more than 20 books on creationism/evolution are
in the publisher ` s pipelines. A few have already appeared. The goal
of all will be to try to explain to a confused and often unenlightened
citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories
for the origin and evolution of universe and life. Cosmology , geology
, and biology have provided a consistent , unified, and constantly
improving account of what happened. "Scientific" creationism,
which is being pushed by some for "equal time" in the classrooms
whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are eivel, is based
on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and the majority
of nonfundamentalist religious leaders have come to regard "scientific"
creationism as bad science and bad religion.
The first four
chapters of Kitcher`s book give a very brief introduction to evolution.
At ap-
propriate places, he introduces the criticisms of the creationists
and provides answers. In the last
three chapters, he takes off
his gloves and gives the creationists a good beating. He describes
their
programmes and tactics, and, for those unfamiliar with the
ways of creationists, the extent of their deception and distortion
may come as an unpleasant surprise. When their basic motivation is
religious, one might have expected more Christian behavior.
Kitcher is a philosopher, and this may account, in part, for the clarity
and effectiveness of
his arguments. The non-specialist wiU be able
to obtain at least a notion of the sorts of data and
argument that
support evolutionary theory. The final chapter on the creationists
will be extremely
clear to all. On the dust jacket of this fine
book, Stephen Jay Gould says: "This book stands for
reason
itself. "And so it does-and all would be well were reason the
only judge in the creation-
ism/evolution debate .
67. "Creationism"
in the passage refers to__
(A) evolution in its true sense as to
the origin of the universe
(B) a notion of the creation of religion
(C)
the scientific explanation of the earth formation
(D) the deceptive
theory about the origin of the universe
68. Kitcher`s book is intended
to __.
(A) recommend the views of the evolutionists
(B) expose
the true features of creationists
(C) curse bitterly at this opponents
(D)
launch a surprise attack on creationists
69 From the passage we
can infer that__
(A) reasoning has played a decisive role in the
debate
(B) creationists do not base their argument on reasoning
(C)
evolutionary theory is too difficult for non-specialists
(D) creationism
is supported by scientific findings
70. This passage appears to
be a digest of__
(A) a book review (B) a scientific paper
(C)
a magazine feature (D) a newspaper editorial
Part Ⅳ English-Chinese
Translation
The differences in relative growth of various
areas of scientific research have several causes.
71 )Some of these
causes are completely reasonable results of social needs. Others are
reasonable
consequences of particular advances in science being
to some extent self-accelerating. Some , how-
ever , are less reasonable
processes of different growth in which preconception of the form scientif-
ic
theory ought to take, by persons in authority, act to alter the growth
pattern of different areas.
This is a new problem probably not
yet unavoidable; but it is a frightening trend. 72)This trend
began
during the Second World War, when several govemments came to the conclusion
that the
specific demands that a government wants to make of its
scientific establishment cannot generally
be foreseen in detail.
It can be predicted, however, that from time to time questions will
arise
which will require specific scientific answers. It is therefore
generally valuable to treat the scien-
tific establishment as a
resource or machine to be kept in functional order. 73)This seems
mostly
effectively done by supporting a certain amount of research
not related to immediate goals but of
possible consequence in the
future.
This kind of support , like all government support
, requires decisions about the appropriate
recipients of funds.
Decisions based on utility as opposed to lack of utility are straightforward.
But
a decision among projects none of which has immediate utility
is more difficult. The goal of the
supporting agencies is the praisable
one of supporting "good " as opposed to "bad"
science, but a
valid determination is difficult to make. Generally,
the idea of good science tends to become con-
fused with the capacity
of the field in question to generate an elegant theory. 74)However,
the
world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable
to deal with some of the world`s
more fascinating and delightful
aspects. 75) New forms of thought as well as new subjects for
thought
must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to
new standards of elegance.

GOOD HEALTH
. . . Wherever you are and whatever
you do, staying healthy is always important. With the improvement
of our living standards, people are attaching more and more importance
to their health. We students can` t keep the high study efficiency
without good. health. The same thing is true with workers, scientists
and doctors.
In my opinion, good diet and exercises are two major
ways to keep healthy. The food we eat every day must be rational and
should include meat, vegetables, eggs, and fruit. It is important
to drink water every day and not to get addicted to drinking coffee
or some other soft drinks. Ex-ercising every day is also essential
for us to stay healthy. We can ride bicycles, play tennis or swim.
Of course we don` t need to exhaust ourselves. We should plan our
physical exercises according to our actual condition. An hour a day
is enough.
As a university student, I have much free time to do
exercises. l usually play badminton and tennis. But sometimes I am
lazy and do not exercise for all kinds of excuses, such as cold weather
and exams. I must correct it. I am also careful with my diet. In a
way, keeping healthy is not very hard, if you just take it seriously. |
