III Reading Comprehension Directions:Each of the passages below
is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers
marked A),B),C) and D). Read the passages carefully and choose the
best answer to each of the questions. Then mark your answer on the
ANSWER SHEET by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets.
(40 points) Passage 1 It was 3:45 in the morning when
the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final
16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia`s Northern Territory
became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to
take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure
passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word
flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John
Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada.
He sent it on via the group`s on line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess:
“We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn`t just
something that happened in Australia. It`s world history.” The
full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally
III law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with
its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of
relief, others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian
Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its
passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia — where
an aging population, life extending technology and changing community
attitudes have all played their part — other states are going to consider
making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In the US and Canada,
where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are
waiting for the dominoes to start falling. Under the new Northern
Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a
deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient
must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a “cooling
off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request.
After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a
54 year old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights
of Terminally III law means he can get on with living without the
haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing
condition. “I`m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view,
but what I was afraid of was how I`d go, because I`ve watched people
die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,”
he says. From the second paragraph we learn that _____
. A)the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
B)physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia C)changing
technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law
D)it takes time to realize the significance of the law`s passage
When the author says that observers are waiting for the
dominoes to start falling, he means _____. A)observers are taking
a wait and see attitude towards the future of euthanasia B)similar
bills are likely to be passed in the US, Canada and other countries
C)observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
D)the effecttaking process of the passed bill may finally come
to a stop
When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will _____. A)face
his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia B)experience
the suffering of a lung cancer patient C)have an intense fear
of terrible suffering D)undergo a cooling off period of seven
days
The author`s attitude towards euthanasia seems to
be that of _____. A)opposition B)suspicion C)approval D)indifference
Passage 2 A report consistently brought back
by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most
Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently
made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North
American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small minded officials,
rude waiters, and illmannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in
the US Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves
comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the
country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.
Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally
lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome
sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The
harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.
Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere
to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter
of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part
of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you
didn`t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one
else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.
Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize
in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality
to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller
cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling
through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited
me home for dinner — amazing.” Such observations reported by visitors
to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.
The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither
as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically
developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed
society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions,
and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course,
speaking a language does not necessarily meant that someone understands
social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate” cultural
meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when
an American uses the word “friend”, the cultural implications of the
word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor`s language
and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish
between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly
is a virtue that many American value highly and expect from both neighbors
and strangers. In the eyes of visitors from the outside
world, _____. A)rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US B)small
minded officials deserve a serious comment C)Canadians are not
so friendly as their neighbors D)most Americans are ready to offer
help
It could be inferred from the last paragraph that
_____. A)culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship
B)courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated
C)various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends
D)social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural
conventions
Families in frontier settlements used to entertain
strangers _____. A)to improve their hard life B)in view of
their long distance travel C)to add some flavor to their own daily
life D)out of a charitable impulse
The tradition of
hospitality to strangers _____. A)tends to be superficial and
artificial B)is generally well kept up in the United States C)is
always understood properly D)was something to do with the busy
tourist trails
Passage 3 Technically, any substance
other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a
drug. Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to
some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts.
They don`t realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco
are also drugs. This is why the more neutral term substance is now
used by many physicians and psychologists. The phrase “substance abuse”
is often used instead of “drug abuse” to make clear that substances
such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin
and cocaine. We live a society in which the medicinal and
social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet
a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning,
a cigarette for the nerves. When do these socially acceptable and
apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses? First
of all, most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects
such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions. Repeated use
of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence.
Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance, with more and
more of the substance required to produce the desired effect, and
then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the
substance is discontinued. Drugs (substances) that affect
the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior
are known as psychoactive substances. Psychoactive substances are
commonly grouped according to whether they are stimulants, depressants,
or hallucinogens. Stimulants initially speed up or activate the central
nervous system, whereas depressants slow it down. Hallucinogens have
their primary effect on perception, distorting and altering it in
a variety of ways including producing hallucinations. These are the
substances often called psychedelic (from the Greek word meaning “mindmanifesting”)
because they seemed to radically alter one`s state of consciousness.
“Substance abuse” (Line 5, Paragraph 1) is preferable to
“drug abuse” in that _____. A)substances can alter our bodily
or mental functioning if illegally used B)“drug abuse” is only
related to a limited number of drug takers C)alcohol and tobacco
are as fatal as heroin and cocaine D)many substances other than
heroin or cocaine can also be poisonous
The word “pervasive”
(Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean _____. A)widespread B)overwhelming C)piercing D)fashionable
Physical dependence on certain substances results from
_____. A)uncontrolled consumption of them over long periods of
time B)exclusive use of them for social purposes C)quantitative
application of them to the treatment of diseases D)careless employment
of them for unpleasant symptoms
From the last paragraph
we can infer that _____. A)stimulants function positively on the
mind B)hallucinogens are in themselves harmful to health C)depressants
are the worst type of psychoactive substances D)the three types
of psychoactive substances are commonly used in groups
Passage
4 No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral
decline of a nation. “Is this what you intended to accomplish with
your careers?” Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last
week. “You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and
threaten our children as well?” At Time Warner, however, such questions
are simply the latest manifestation of the soul searching that has
involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. It`s
a selfexamination that has, at various times, involved issues of
responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line. At
the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over
for the late Steve Ross in 1992. On the financial front, Levin is
under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company`s mountainous
debt, which will increase to 17.3 billion after two new cable deals
close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure
the company, but investors are waiting impatiently. The flap
over rap is not making life any easier for him. Levin has consistently
defended the company`s rap music on the grounds of expression. In
1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice T`s violent
rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as a lawful expression of
street culture, which deserves an outlet. “The test of any democratic
society,” he wrote in a Wall Streel Journal column, “lies not in how
well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of
thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable
or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won`t retreat in the
face of any threats.” Levin would not comment on the debate
last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off
his hard line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion
of rock singing verses at last month`s stockholders` meeting, Levin
asserted that “music is not the cause of society`s ills” and even
cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate
with students. But he talked as well about the “balanced struggle”
between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced
that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution
and labeling of potentially objectionable music. The 15 member
Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate
strategy. But insiders say several of them have shown their concerns
in this matter. “Some of us have known for many, many years that the
freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited,” says
Luce. “I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated
with the company have only recently come to realize this.” Senator
Robert Dole criticized Time Warner for _____. A)its raising of
the corporate stock price B)its selfexamination of soul C)its
neglect of social responsibility D)its emphasis on creative freedom
According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A)Luce is a spokesman of Time Warner. B)Gerald Levin is liable
to compromise. C)Time Warner is united as one in the face of the
debate. D)Stever Ross is no longer alive
In face of
the recent attacks on the company, the chairman _____. A)stuck
to a strong stand to defend freedom of expression B)softened his
tone and adopted some new policy C)changed his attitude and yielded
to objection D)received more support from the 15member board
The best title for this passage could be _____. A)A
Company under Fire B)A Debate on Moral Decline C)A Lawful Outlet
of Street Culture D)A Form of Creative Freedom
Passage
5 Much of the language used to describe monetary policy, such
as “steering the economy to a soft landing” or “a touch on the brakes”,
makes it sound like a precise science. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The link between interest rates and inflation is uncertain.
And there are long, variable lags before policy changes have any effect
on the economy. Hence the analogy that likens the conduct of monetary
policy to driving a car with a blackened windscreen, a cracked rear
view mirror and a faulty steering wheel. Given all these disadvantages,
central bankers seem to have had much to boast about of late. Average
inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2.3%
last year, close to its lowest level in 30 years, before rising slightly
to 2.5% this July. This is a long way below the double digit rates
which many countries experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s. It
is also less than most forecasters had predicated. In late 1994 the
panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that
America`s inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995. In fact, it fell
to 2.6% in August, and expected to average only about 3% for the year
as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage
point below the rate predicted at the end of last year. This is no
flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been
consistently lower than expected in Britain and America. Economists
have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in
Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest
that both economies, and especially America`s, have little productive
slack. America`s capacity utilization, for example, his historically
high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August)
has fallen bellow most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment
— the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past. Why
has inflation proved so mild? The most thrilling explanation is, unfortunately,
a little defective. Some economists argue that powerful structural
changes in the world have up ended the old economic models that were
based upon the historical link between growth and inflation. From
the passage we learn that _____. A)there is a definite relationship
between inflation and interest rates B)economy will always follow
certain models C)the economic situation is better than expected
D)economists had foreseen the present economic situation
According
to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A)Making monetary
policies is comparable to driving a car B)An extremely low jobless
rate will lead to inflation C)A high unemployment rate will result
from inflation D)Interest rates have an immediate effect on the
economy
The sentence “This is no flash in the pan” (Line
5, Paragraph 3) means that _____. A)the low inflation rate will
last for some time B)the inflation rate will soon rise C)the
inflation will disappear quickly D)there is no inflation at present
The passage shows that the author is _____ the present
situation. A)critical of B)puzzled by C)disappointed at D)amazed
at
Part IV English Chinese Translation Directions:Read
the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined
sentences into Chinese. Your translation must be written clearly on
the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points). Do animals have rights? This
is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, groundclearing
way to start. 71) Actually, it isn`t, because it assumes that there
is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world
does not have. On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily
follows that animals have none. 72) Some philosophers argue that rights
exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties
and entitlements. Therefore, animals cannot have rights. The idea
of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd, for exactly the
same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this
is only one account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies
rights not only to animals but also to some people — for instance
to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations. In addition,
it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never
consented to it, how do you reply to somebody who says “I don`t like
this contract”? The point is this: without agreement on the
rights of people, arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless.
73) It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites
you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration
humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all. This
is a false choice. Better to start with another, more fundamental,
question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all? Many
deny it. 74) Arguing from the view that humans are different from
animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that
animals lie outside the area of moral choice. Any regard for the suffering
of animals is seen as a mistake — a sentimental displacement of feeling
that should properly be directed to other humans. This view
which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping
wood, may seem bravely “logical”. In fact it is simply shallow: the
confused center is right to reject it. The most elementary form of
moral reasoning — the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl — is
to weigh others` interests against one`s own. This in turn requires
sympathy and imagination: without there is no capacity for moral thought.
To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy.
75) When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind`s instinct
for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged
rather than laughed at. 71._____________________________________________________________. 72._____________________________________________________________.

V Writing 样题 1 We meet smokers everywhere: in the streets,
on college campuses and in shops. There are 5.8 billion people in
the world, and the smokers are about 1.1 billion, which makes up 20
percent of the world`s total population. Smoking is very harmful.
I think there are two main aspects to the damage. First, smoking consumes
a great deal of money. As is shown in the pictorial graph, smiling
wastes 200 billion dollars each year in the world. Second, smoking
does harm to the health of smokers, and it is the main cause of lung
cancer. About 3 million people die because of the relevant diseases
derived from smoking every year. Because more and more people
are aware of the great harm of smoking to humans, the amount of tobacco
consumption is on the decrease. From the following figures we can
clearly see the tendency. The total amount of world tobacco production
added up to 14.364 billion pounds in 1994, but it dropped to 14.2
billion pounds in 1995. At the same time, many countries call on people
to give up smoking. So it is certain that the number of smokers is
to decrease. 样题 2 About Tobacco Consumption From
the above set of pictures, we can see that there were a total of 14.364
billion pounds of tobacco produced in 1994 and 14.2 billion pounds
in 1995. Because the amount of tobacco production is falling yearly,
it can be predicted that the tendency of tobacco consumption would
also be falling yearly. There are many reasons. Firstly, smoking wastes
money. Every year there are two hundred billion dollars “burnt” in
the cigarette “fire”. Secondly, smoking would hardly do people any
good and it can even cause cancer. Every year there are three million
people “buried” in the cigarette “tomb”. Although tobacco consumption
is falling, there are too many people who smoke. The population in
the world is 5.8 billion, but about twenty percent of the population,
that is to say 1.1 billion people, smoke. So the situation is serious
and the movement against smoking is still a difficult task.

decreased to 14.2 billion pounds. The population of the world is 5.8
billion. The number of smokers is 1.1 billion, which is 20% of the
population in the world. Every year 200 billion dollars is wasted
owing to smoking and 3 million people die of smoking. From the
total product of tobacco in the world we can draw a conclusion that
the tendency of tobacco consumption is decreased. I think that there
are two reasons. One reason is that more and more people realize that
smoking is harmful for health and give up smoking. The other one is
that smoking is forbidden in the popular area in more and more countries.
The two reasons lead to the decreasing tendency of tobacco consumption
in the world.
样题 4 From the pictures, we first know
that there are a lot of smoking people in the world. The number of
the whole population in the world is 5.8 billion, and the number of
smoking people is 1.1 billion. So the percentage of smoking person
is about 20. It is a large ratio. Secondly we know from the
pictures that tobacco gives us only disaster. Each year it devours
200 billion dollars and deprives 3 million people of their lives.
It is horrible. Luckily nowadays more and more people begin
to pay attention to their health. Thus I think the tendency of tobacco
consumption will descend. From the pictures we also know that the
output of the tobacco is declining, from 14.364 billion pounds in
1994 to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995.

样题 5 As shown in the pictures, we can see that the
total tobacco product is 14.364 billion pounds in 1994, while it is
14.2 billion pounds in 1995. The whole population of earth is 5.8
billion, but the human beings who keeps smoking is 1.1 billion, maintaining
the proportion of 20 percent. Owing to the cigarette, 200 billion
dollars were wasted, 3 million people die of smoking annually. From
the figure given in the chart, we can come to a conclusion that the
total tobacco consumption will decrease. There are reasons for the
dropping consumption. First, more and more people believe smoking
do harm to health, waste money. So a lot of people begin to give up
smoking. Second, forbidding smoking in public areas cause people conscious
that smoking is a bad habit. Therefor, I believe more and more will
give up smoking with the advancement of society.
样题 6 From
the pictures, we can draw a conclusion that the tobacco consumption
in the world is rather high. In 1994, the total product of tobacco
is 14.364 billion pounds and in 1995, is 14.2 billion pounds. There
are a great number of smokers in the world — the number of 1.1 billion.
That is to say, of the 5.8 billion people, 20 percent have the habit
of smoking. For the sake of high tobacco consumption, 2000 billion
dollars are lost and 3000 thousand people lose their lives every year.
In my opinion, the consumption of tobacco will decrease as more
and more people have come to know the damage of the tobacco. This
can be found in the pictures. Smoking leads to many problems such
as lung cancer, economic loss and pollution of the air. For
abovementioned reasons. I believe the consumption of tobacco will
decrease and all the problem it causes will be solved. 评语:样题

much less that in 1994. Because many people of smoking already think
the smoking has no advantage, only bring illness. We hope all
of the world, it is no people smoke in the future. 样题 8
On Smoking In the whole world the tobacco consumption has
being decrease. According to the figure given in the data, we can
see tobacco consumption was about 143.64 billion pounds in 1994, and
about 142 billion pounds in 1995. Why are there on the decrease? I
think there are two reasons. In the first place, smoking is do harm
to people health. For example, it is may be responsible for lung cancer.
There are about 300 thousand people died of smoking every year. Secondly,
smoking cost a great deal. Every year money spend on smoking is about
200000000. As a result, when people realize this, they begin
to give up smoking. But I must point out that smoker all over
the world still account for 20%, about 11000000. So we must educate
people give up smoking.

have realize the damage of smoking. It is obvious. Smoking has not
any benefit to man`s health, but as is know to all, everything has
two sides. The taxs of tobacco are main resource of nation finasal.
So the government of all country have to permit the product of tobacco.
According to the figure, we can see the sum production of tobacco
very great, 143.64 billion pounds in 1994, 142 billion pounds in 1995.
The number of smoking man is 20% during world population. Smoking
damages not only human`s body but also waste lot of money. For example,
there are 2000 billion dollar spending in tobacco and 300 million
people die in smoking. I think the tendency of tobacco consumprion
have be taken down. I should try my best to depress the damage of
smoking.
样题 10 It is said that smoking do harm. I
realy agree with it. Everyone in world know that smoking is
not good habit, at the same time, so many warns with the words “No
Smoking” everywhere. But on the other hand, there is lots of people
are fond of smoking. as a result, every year about 200 billion dollars
are to smoking, as well as 30 million people dies from it. How can
these more than one billion people about one fifth ration give up
smoking? It is always problem. In word, smoking is harmful,
we should give up.

样题 12 From the figures we can see smoking is harmful
to people`s health. On one hand, it cause many diseases; on the other,
it costs a lot of money. But today people all over the world still
smoke a lot. Some people smoke out of habit. Others enjoy smoking,
and find it is good for their nerves when they are tired. And still
others smoke to be sociable: they like to offer fridns cigarette when
talking business with others. But as we all know doctors have
warned people that tobacco is very dangerous to the smokers and may
cause all kind of illness, including the cancer of lung. Many deaths
are caused every year. And the government too are taking measures
to prevent people from smoking. As far as I am concerned. I
think smoking is a great evil that should be abolished. I think government
should take stronger measures to eventually ban tobacco all together.
