A, B, C or D on Answer Sheet 1. (10 points)
Imagine fishermen walking down to the seashore, ready to carry out their early morning routine of preparing their boats and net. _1_ they hope for a good catch of fish. But to their _2_, a horrible sight meets their still sleepy eyes. Thousands of fish have been washed _3_ dead. The cause of this mass destruction? A red tide!
Red tides are a global _4_. They have been observed on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts of the United States and Canada. They have also _5_ in many other places. Though relatively few people are _6_ them, red tides are not new.
In the Philippines, a red tide was first seen in the province of Bataan in 1908. Since then, red tides have been seen in many other _7_. A Philippines red tide expert told us that "_8_ the fish kills, the Philippines has documented 1,926 cases of dead shellfish poisoning caused by red tides."
The term "red tide" _9_ the discoloration of water that sometimes occurs in certain areas of the ocean or sea. Although the color is often red, it may also be _10_ of brown or yellow. The World Book Encyclopedia reports that "the discolored areas may range from _11_ a few square yards to more than 2, 600 square kilometers."
What causes such discoloration? Red tides are generally caused by several _12_ of single-celled organisms. These tiny organisms have hair-like projections which they use to _13_ themselves in water. There are about 2,000 varieties of these organisms, 30 of which carry poisonous _14_. These minute organisms usually stay in warm waters with high content of salt.
A red tide occurs when there is a sudden and rapid _15_ of these organisms. The concentration of these organisms may _16_ to 50, 000, 000 per quart of water! Although scientists do not fully understand why this happens, it is known that these organisms _17_ when certain conditions simultaneously affect the water. These include abnormal weather, _18_ temperatures, an oversupply of nutrients in the water, a generous _19_ sunlight, and favorable water currents. When a heavy rainfall occurs, minerals and other nutrients are sometimes washed _20_ the land into coastal water. These nutrients can contribute to the breeding of the organisms. The result? Red tides!

Text 1
Within a large concrete room, cut out of a mountain on a freezing-told island just 1,000 kilometers from the North Pole, could lie the future of humanity.
The room is a vault (地下庫) designed to hold around 2 million seeds, representing all known varieties of the world's crops. It is being built to safeguard the world's food supply against nuclear war, climate change, terrorism, rising sea levels, earthquakes and the collapse of electricity supplies. "If the worst came to the worst, this would allow the world to reconstruct agriculture on this planet." says Cary Fowler, director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, an independent international organization promoting the project.
The Norwegian (挪威的) government is planning to create the seed bank next year at the request of crop scientists. The $3 million vault will be built deep inside a sandstone mountain on the Norwegian Arctic island of Spitsbergen. The vault will have metre-thick walls of reinforced concrete and will be protected behind two airlocks and high-security doors.
The vault's seed collection will represent the products of some 10,000 years of plant breeding by the world's famers. Though most are no longer widely planted, the varieties contain vital genetic properties still regularly used in plant breeding.
To survive, the seeds need freezing temperatures. Operators plan to replace the air inside the
vault each winter, when temperatures in Spitsbergen are around -18℃. But even if some disaster meant that the vault was abandoned, the permanently frozen soil would keep the seeds alive. And even accelerated global warming would take many decades to penetrate the mountain vault.
"This will be the world's most secure gene bank," says Fowler. "But its seeds will only be used when all other samples have gone for some reason."
The project comes at a time when there is growing concern about the safety of existing seed banks around the world. Many have been criticized for poor security, ageing refrigeration (冷藏) systems and vulnerable electricity supplies.
The scheme won UN approval at a meeting of the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome in October 2005. A feasibility study said the facility "would essentially be built to last forever".
21. The Norwegian vault in important in that _________________.
A. the seeds in it represent the rarest varieties of world's crops.
B. the seeds in it could revive agriculture if the worst thing should happen
C. it is built deep in a mountain on a freezing-cold Arctic island
D. it is strong enough against all disasters caused by man and nature
22. The seed bank project was proposed by __________.
A. the Norwegian government
B. Norwegian farmers
C. Spitsbergen residents
D. agricultural scientists
23. The seeds in the vault will be stored ____________________.
A. as samples of world crop varieties
B. as products of world plant breeding
C. for their valuable genetic properties
D. for their resistance to plant diseases
24. For the seed bank project to be successful, the most important factor is probably________.
A. constructing tight airlocks
B. maintaining high security
C. keeping freezing temperatures
D. storing large quantities of seeds
25. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The Norwegian vault models after existing seed banks
B. The Spitsbergen seed bank is expected to last 10,000 years
C. The existing seed banks have potential problems
D. The UN financed the Spitsbergen seed bank
Text 2
Both the number and the percentage of people in the United States involved in nonagricultural pursuits expanded rapidly during the half century following the Civil War, with some of the most dramatic increases occurring in the domains of transportation, manufacturing, and trade and distribution. The development of the railroad and telegraph systems during the middle third of the nineteenth century led to significant improvements in the speed, volume, and regularity of shipments and communications, making possible a fundamental transformation in the production and distribution of goods.
In agriculture, the transformation was marked by the emergence of the grain elevators, the cotton presses, the warehouses, and the commodity exchanges that seemed to so many of the nation's farmers the visible sign of a vast conspiracy against them. In manufacturing, the transformation was marked by the emergence of a "new factory system" in which plants became larger, more complex, and more systematically organized and managed. And in distribution, the transformation was marked by the emergence of the jobber, the wholesaler, and the mass retailer. These changes radically altered the nature of work during the half century between 1870 and 1920.
To be sure, there were still small workshops, where skilled craftspeople manufactured products ranging from newspapers to cabinets to plumbing fixtures. There were the sweatshops in city tenements, where groups of men and women in household settings manufactured clothing or cigars on a piecework basis. And there were factories in occupations such as metalwork where individual contractors presided over what were essentially handicraft proprietorships that coexisted within a single building. But as the number of wage earners in manufacturing rose from 2.7 million in 1880 to 4.5 million in 1900 to 8.4 million in 1920, the number of huge plants like the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia burgeoned, as did the size of the average plant. (The Baldwin Works had 600 employees in 1855, 3,000 in 1875, and 8,000 in 1900.) By 1920, at least in the northeastern United States where most of the nation's manufacturing wage earners were concentrated, three-quarters of those worked in factories with more than 100 employees and 30 percent worked in factories with more than 1,000 employees.
26. What can be inferred from the passage about the agricultural sector of the economy after the Civil War?
A. New technological developments had little effect on farmers.
B. The percentage of the total population working in agriculture declined.
C. Many farms destroyed in the war were rebuilt after the war.
D. Farmers achieved new prosperity because of better rural transportation.
27. Which of the following was NOT mentioned as part of the "new factory system?"
A. A change in the organization of factories.
B. A growth in the complexity of factories.
C. An increase in the size of factories.
D. An increase in the cost of manufacturing industrial products.
28. Which of the following statements about manufacturing before 1870 can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most manufacturing activity was highly organized.
B. Most manufacturing occurred in relatively small plants.
C. The most commonly manufactured goods were cotton presses.
D. Manufacturing and agriculture each made up about half of the nation's economy.
29. The author mentions the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Paragraph 3 because it was
A. a well-known metal-works
B. the first plant of its kind in Philadelphia
C. typical of the large factories that were becoming more common
D. typical of factories that consisted of a single building
30. The word "presided over" in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to
A. managed
B. led to
C. worked in
D. produced
Text 3
President Coolidge's statement, "the business of America is business," still points to an important truth today---that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?
One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.
Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (壟斷) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which teats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers' dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.
A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, that democracy in preserving freedom.
Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background, Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic (貴族的) idea of inherited privilege.
31. The statement "The business of America is business" probably means "__________________"
A. The business institutions in America are concerned with commerce
B. Business problems are of great importance to the American government
C. Business is of primary concern to Americans
D. America is a great power in world business
32. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only _______________.
A. when given equality of opportunity
B. by protecting their individual freedom
C. through doing business
D. by way of competition
33. Who can benefit from business competition?
A. honest businessmen
B. People with ideals of equality and freedom
C. Both businessmen and their customers
D. Both business institutions and government
34. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by ______________
A. its absolute control of power
B. its function in preserving personal freedom
C. its role in protecting basic American values
D. its democratic way of exercising leadership
35. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes _________________.
A. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
B. In many countries success often depends on one's social status
C. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries
D. Businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America
Text 4
The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed "art glass." Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect upon carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.
France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among the most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs.
The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920's. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since the turn of the century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement-that function should determine form-was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline, and complex textural surfaces.
36. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?
A. Design elements in the Art Nouveau style
B. The popularity of the Art Nouveau style
C. Production techniques for art glass
D. Color combinations typical of the Art Nouveau style
37. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To compare different Art Nouveau styles
B. To give examples of famous Art Nouveau artists
C. To explain why Art Nouveau glass was so popular in the United States
D. To show the impact Art Nouveau had on other cultures around the world
38. What does the author mean by stating that "function should determine form" (para 3, line 6)?
A. A useful object should not be attractive
B. The purpose of an object should influence its form
C. The design of an object is considered more significant than its function
D. The form of an object should not include decorative elements
39. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason Functionalism became popular was that it
A. clearly distinguished between art and design
B. appealed to people who liked complex painted designs
C. reflected a common desire to break from the past
D. was easily interpreted by the general public
40. Paragraph 3 supports which of the following statements about Functionalism?
A. Its design concept avoided geometric shapes.
B. It started on a small scale and then spread gradually.
C. It was a major force in the decorative arts before the First World War
D. It was not attractive to architects and designers

A. Growth in the market for glass crafts
B. Historical development of glass
C. Architectural experiments with glass
D. A former glass technology
E. Computers and their dependence on glass
F. What makes glass so adaptable
G. Exciting innovations in fiber optics
Glass, in one form or another, has long been in noble service to humans. As one of the most widely used of manufactured materials, and certainly the most versatile, it can be as imposing as a telescope mirror the width of a tennis court or as small and simple as a marble rolling across dirt. The uses of this adaptable material have been broadened dramatically by new technologies: glass fiber optics-more than eight million miles-carrying telephone and television signals across nations; glass ceramics serving as the nose cones of missiles and as crowns for teeth; tiny glass beads taking radiation doses inside the body to specific organs; even a new type of glass fashioned of nuclear waste in order to dispose of that unwanted material.
41. _____________________________________
On the horizon are optical computers. These could store programs and process information by means of light-pulses from tiny lasers-rather than electrons. And the pulses would travel over glass fibers, not copper wire. These machines could function hundreds of times faster than today's electronic computers and hold vastly more information. Today fiber optics are used to obtain a cleaner image of smaller and smaller objects than ever before-even bacterial viruses. A new generation of optical instruments is emerging that can provide detailed imaging of the inner workings of cells. It is the surge in fiber optic use and in liquid crystal displays that has set the U.S. glass industry (a 16 billion dollar business employing some 150,000 workers) to building new plants to meet demand.
42. ______________________________________
But it is not only in technology and commerce that glass has widened its horizons. The use of glass as art, a tradition going back at least to Roman times, is also booming. Nearly everywhere, it seems, men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art. "I didn't sell a piece of glass until 1975," Dale Chihuly said, smiling, for in the 18 years since the end of the dry spell, he has become one of the 20th century. He now has a new commission-a glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza company-for which his fee is half a million dollars.
43. ______________________________________
But not all the glass technology that touches our lives is ultra-modern. Consider the simple light bulb; at the turn of the century most light bulbs were hand blown, and the cost of one was equivalent to half a day's pay for the average worker. In effect, the invention of the ribbon machine by Corning in the 1920s lighted a nation. The price of a bulb plunged. Small wonder that the machine has been called one of the great mechanical achievements of all time. Yet it is very simple: a narrow ribbon of molten glass travels over a moving belt of steel in which there are holes. The glass sags through the holes and into waiting moulds. Puffs of compressed air then shape the glass. In this way, the envelope of a light bulb is made by a single machine at the rate of 66,000 an hour, as compared with 1,200 a day produced by a team of four glassblowers.
44. _______________________________________
The secret of the versatility of glass lies in its interior structure. Although it is rigid, and thus like a solid, the atoms are arranged in a random disordered fashion, characteristic of a liquid. In the melting process, the atoms in the raw materials are distributed from their normal positioning the molecular structure; before they can find their way back to crystalline arrangements the glass cools. This looseness in molecular structure gives the material what engineers call tremendous "formability" which allows technicians to tailor glass to whatever they need.
45. ______________________________________
Today, scientists continue to experiment with new glass mixture and building designers test their imaginations with applications of special types of glass. A London architect, Mike Davies, sees even more dramatic buildings using molecular chemistry. "Glass is the great building material of the future, the 'dynamic skin' " he said. "Think of glass that has been treated to react to electric currents going through it, glass that will change from clear to opaque at the push of a button, that gives you instant curtains. Think of how the tall buildings in New York could perform a symphony of colors as the glass in them is made to change colors instantly." Glass as instant curtains is available now, but the cost is exorbitant. As for the glass changing colors instantly, that may come true. Mike Davies's vision may indeed be on the way to fulfillment.

Directions: In this section there is a passage in English. Translate it into Chinese and write your version on Answer Sheet 2 (15 points)
The media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinction between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact, for example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on "live action" such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
Section IV Writing
Part A
47. Directions: Read the following Chinese and write an abstract of 80-100 words. You should write your abstract on Answer Sheet 2. (10 points)
中國有31個省市自治區和1400多個縣,地方各級政府官員千千萬萬。中國經濟的快速發展,有他們一份功勞。但其中有一些人自以為大權在握目中無人大放厥詞,公然違抗中央政策,在中國官場上扮演了令人觸目驚心的角色。
如果要在這些官員的隊列中推舉一個"高手",那么鄭州市規劃局副局長逯軍無疑可為首選。因為他那個"為誰說話"的驚人之語,既觸犯了眾怒,又冒犯了天庭,已經鬧得全國滿城風雨。
眾所周知,中共總書記胡錦濤提出的"立黨為公"與"執政為民"思想,已經成為全黨共識。中共黨報幾乎天天都在宣揚胡的思想,從中央到地方的黨政會議上也不斷三令五申,強調黨政干部要堅持 " 權為民所用、情為民所系、利為民所謀 " 的施政方針。
但是作為鄭州市的一名高級官員,逯軍竟大言不慚地責問前來采訪的中央新聞單位記者," 你是準備替黨說話, 還是準備替老百姓說話"。如此明白無誤地把黨與民對立的論調,難道不是在跟胡錦濤的"新三民主義論"唱反調嗎。
逯軍并非不知道胡錦濤的思想。問題是他心里有兩本賬,一本明的專門在公開場合唱高調,顯示自己緊跟黨。另一本暗的則在心里深藏不露,覺得那些無非是說說而已的套話。"為誰說話"才是他的真心話,表明他根本不把"民"放在眼里,也不把黨的政策當回事兒。而是上有政策,下有對策,一切以自己的利益為依歸。一到緊要關頭, 這種心思就免不了流露出來。
逯軍為什么要氣急敗壞地訓斥記者,并非只因為記者提問冒犯了他的權威,而是觸到了他的痛經。鄭州須水鎮經濟適用房建筑按照原批件規定占地12. 9萬平米,卻被開發商違章占用了近3萬米建造別墅。如果這位逯大人真的關心草民利益,他就不可能在簽訂建房協定時大筆一揮,公然違章給開發商開綠燈。
記者"閑事"管得好
逯軍斥責記者不要"管閑事",是擔心那個見不得人的內幕被曝光出來,會讓他很不光彩。
其實記者對這種"閑事"就是要管,管得對。因為老百姓對侵犯民利的事情痛恨之至,只是權力擋道告訴無門。如果不是記者出來揭這個蓋子,官商勾結這出戲不就可以演到終場了嗎。
值得注意的是,鄭州市當局在逯軍的錯誤已經暴露之后還要出來為他打圓場。說什么"逯軍此言屬于個人言行,只能代表個人,組織部也管不了,國家也是規定言論自由"。好一個"言論自由"!難道逯軍違反黨的政策的錯話,僅僅把它歸之于言論自由就算完了嗎?老百姓對官商勾結有的是意見,他們怎么就享受不了這種"言論自由"的權利呢。
逯軍事件出來之后,鄭州市趕緊成立一個由監察局、土地局、規劃局、公安局、建委、房管局等有關部門組成的專案組,對須水鎮的經濟適用房問題進行查處。人們不禁要問,他們以前都干嗎去了。因為這個工程早在1998年就已審批決定了。后來把其中四分之一的土地轉劃給開發商建別墅,也已經好長時間了。為什么鄭州市對老百姓的意見和要求長期置之不理,拖延不決,非得等到事情鬧大,火燒眉毛了,才急急忙忙地搭班子進行調查。
逯軍的問題,不禁使人想起南京江寧區房管局長周久耕。不久前,當房地產市場長期疲軟不振而有利于平民時,他竟然發飆揚言"開發商低于成本銷售將被處罰"。結果此言一出引起公憤,進行追查。而不查則已,一查驚人,原來他家就占有好幾套房子。從他吸每根香煙價值7.5元人民幣的小事查起,發現犯有重大貪污罪行。結果這位"九五至尊"的官老爺就被開除公職與黨籍。
中國目前正在加緊反腐肅貪,一些省部級高官紛紛落馬。當這股強勁的反貪風暴越刮越猛的時候,會有更多的貪官迎風而倒是可以肯定的。在周久耕之后,還有誰會是新的周久耕,或者會有多少個周久耕呢,那就等著瞧吧

Section III: 媒體能夠影響當前的事件。作為60年代伯克利大學的研究生,我仍記得所經歷過的發生在校園里與人民公園有關的事件。這些事件中的一些在報紙和電視上得到全國性的報道。把我對發生的事情的印象與從新聞媒體上獲得的感受做一個對比,這非常有趣。我開始看出那個時候的事件受得新聞報道的推波助瀾。這使我對這些現實之間的差別有了一些有益的洞察(認識)。
電子媒體對人們的日常生活正產生更大的影響。人們越來越多地從這些報道中獲得印象。電視電話交流正在把人們與地球村,或如一位作家所謂的電子城聯系在一起。想一下電視每天給你的家庭帶來的信息吧,再想一下你僅僅是通過電話與別人進行的交流吧!這些媒體拓展了你的意識和接觸。比如,1989年的舊金山大地震集中報道諸如大火和救援活動的實況,這使觀看者對整個災難有了深刻的印象。對伊拉克戰爭的電視報道也變成為直觀形象。盡管大多數人遠離這些事件,但他們都對這些現實產生了直接的感受。
