If dramatic gains are under way,the pre

35、sent policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, andtight monetary control-are working and correct.But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economicsuccess stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in morethan just free markets.

80、sage:Breastfeeding (母乳喂养) for a month or longer appears to reduce a womans risk of gettingdiabetes (糖病) later in life, according to a new study. The breastfeeding and diabetes link hasbeen reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz. Yet, her study makes thelink easier to beli

81、eve. Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America. Schwarz and hercolleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices. They evaluated data on 2,233 womenfom Califomia. Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least amonth, and 703 were mothers who had

82、 never breastfed. They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarzs study, the risk of getting a diagnosis (诊断) of Type 2 diabetes forwomen who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women whohad not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twi

83、ce as likely to developdiabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 timesas likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer isb

84、etter. (76) “Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for herbody.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat. Mothers, who dontbreastfeed, as they get

85、 older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take offweight. “Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.The finding isnt surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory. She often gives advice to womenwho get diabetes (occurring during pregnancy (怀孕) that t

86、hey are at risk for later getting Type 2diabetes and suggests they breastfeed. The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add tothe-advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding. She often focuses on thebenefits to the baby.1.

However, most historians usepaper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists (考古学家) learnfrom the objec

93、ts left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials thatdont break down or disappear very quicklythings like human bones and objects made fromstone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history-normally, thebacteria (细菌) in the air

94、eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood.Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss,in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It canbe li

95、ke a very big and very thick vegetable soupwalk in the wrong place and you can sink anddisappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking outahuman foot! Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body. Was it acase of murder? Possibly-but it was

96、 a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men hadfound a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body hadskin, muscles, hair and internal organsthe scientists who examined him were able to look insidethe mans stomach and find the food that he had eaten f

97、or his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? (77) It was because he was in a very wateryenvironment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was veryacidic. The acid preserved the mans skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coatsand sho

98、es.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know moreabout the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (78) His hands and fingernails suggested that hehadnt done heavy manual work in his lifehe could have been a rich man. They found that hehadnt died by accident. T

99、he archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.6. Which language does the word “archaeology”come from?A. French. B. Greek. C. Roman. D. German.7.

102、Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London,where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris,where Picasso talked about modem art. Without

103、 the metropolis, we might not have had the greatart of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isnt easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects thebrain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs(损害) our basic mental processes. (79) After

104、 spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, thebrain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While its longbeen recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull ourthinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the

105、main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficialfor the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quicklywhen they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are betterable to focus when their

106、apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature improve brainperformance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first timein history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead

107、of inhabiting wide-open spaces, werecrowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of Strangers. In recent years, itsbecome clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental andphysical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is

108、also leading some scientists to dabble (涉足) in urban design, as they lookfor ways to make the city less damaging to the brain. (80) The good news is that even slightalterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greatervariety of plants, can significantly r

109、educe the negative side effects of city life. The mind needsnature, and even a little bit can be a big help.11. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. The city inspires talented people.B. The city hurts your brain.C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.D. The city seriously

You should decide on the best choice and blackenthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicagos McCormick Elementary School dont knowChinese i

148、s supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home,its becoming their third language. Theyve been hearing and using Chinesewords since nursery, and its natural to give a ni hao when strangers enterthe classroom, “Its really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from alesson that

149、includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “Im teaching mymom to speak Chinese。”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a commonphenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot newlanguage. Government officials have long wanted more focus on usefu

150、l languageslike Chinese, and pressure from them as well as from business leaders,politicians, and parents has produced a quick growth in the number ofprograms。Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in theirpublic schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in

151、 20 schools,with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places likeLos Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of theChinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China isgrowing in importance. “This is an interesting way to

152、 begin to engage with theworlds next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at theAsia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how childrentoday are going to think about their careers.

153、 The question is when, not whether,the schools are going to adjust”(76) The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how manystudy Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment(报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000.Despite the d

154、emand, though, developing programs isnt easy. And the No. onedifficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher is thechallenge, says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language instituteand a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. Materials are easy incompari

156、 the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs3. We learn from the passage that _。A.

157、SchoolC. Chicago officials are required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything4. According to the passage, all the following statements are trueEXCEPT_。A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major

158、 cities in the U.S。C. government officials dont like the pressure from business leaders andparents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world5. The word “quadrupled” in the last paragraph is close in meaning to“multiplied by_”。A. three times B. four timesC.

159、five times D. six timesPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are indanger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. Thereare low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. W

160、e have noobligation to save them simply because they exist. But many thrivinginstitutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine jobeducationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way toreduce rising costs or increase revenues (收入) significantly. Raising

161、 feesdoesnt bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the enrollment (注册人数) goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(77) Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private. not usually becauseof bad management but because of the nature of the business. They

162、lose money onevery customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or toomany students. Even a very good college is a very bad business。It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Lowenrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may gou

163、nder. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are anational necessity. (78) There is no basis for arguing that private schools arebound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to thecontrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as thefi

164、nest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that publicinstitutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性) is a nationalnecessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthydiversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours,uniformit

165、y of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In animperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of publichigher education know the importance of keeping private higher educationhealthy。6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support _。A. private higher educat

166、ion in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private universities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of_ 。A. the nature of school B. poor teachersC. bad management D. too few students8. The

167、phrase “go under” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_。A. have low fees B. get into difficultiesC. do a bad job educationally D. have low teaching standards9. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior topublic schools。

168、B. The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity ofeducation。C. A high-quality university is always a good business。D. Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up。10. In the authors opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in_。A. full enrollment B. raising fee

169、sC. reducing student aid D. national supportPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longerhours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations thanemployees in 1979. It seems that Americans are

170、working harder today than everbefore. Or are they? A management consultant. Bill Meyer, decided to find out.For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote downeverything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-dayperiod, Meyer reviewed the bankers

171、activities with him. What did they find out?They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessarywork. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的)telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases 。(79) Apparently, many people b

172、elieve that the more time a person spends atwork. the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, theyoften consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance.Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectivelyduring a regular 40-hour

173、 work week, they feel they have to spend more time onthe job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them seethem。A group of headhunters (猪头) were asked their opinion about a situation.They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an importantcompany. The c

174、andidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example,they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. Theother would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According toa headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The timethis

175、 candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend moretime at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later,they may actually do more work。However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率) is notalways positive. (80) In fact, many studies indicate

176、that after a certain point,anyones productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are notwilling to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once theyfinish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. Forthese people, the solution is to find a comp

177、any that encourages people to doboth。11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work。B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours。C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer。D. People can make more mon

178、ey by working longer hours。12. The management consultant wanted to find out _。A. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period oftimeD. whether Americans

179、were really working harder than they had done before13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes 。B. Employers do not judge their employees job performance according to theamount of working time。C. Some people work more than

180、40 hours a week in the hope of gettingpromotion。D. All employees are willing to spend extra time at work。14. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employersbelieve _。A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificati

181、onsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job15. The expression “to do both” in the last paragraph is _。A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax

You should decide on the best choice and blackenthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the fol

214、lowing passage:According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longerhours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations thanemployees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than everbefore. Or are they? A management consultant. Bill Meyer, deci

215、ded to find out.For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote downeverything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-dayperiod, Meyer reviewed the bankers activities with him. What did they find out?They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of

216、 his time doing unnecessarywork. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的)telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases 。(76) Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends atwork. the more he or she accomplishes. When empl

217、oyers evaluate employees, theyoften consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance.Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectivelyduring a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time onthe job after normal working hours so t

218、hat the people who can promote them seethem。A group of headhunters (猪头) were asked their opinion about a situation.They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an importantcompany. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example,they were both reliable. One c

219、ould do the job well in a 40-hour work week. Theother would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According toa headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The timethis candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend moretime at work, too. E

220、mployers believe that if the employees stay at work later,they may actually do more work。However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率) is notalways positive. (77) In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point,anyones productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some emplo

221、yees are notwilling to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once theyfinish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. Forthese people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to doboth。1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people

People can make more money by working longer hours。2. The management consultant wanted to find out _。A. how hard the

The expression “to do both” in the

226、 last paragraph is _。A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequentlyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passa

227、ge:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are indanger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. Thereare low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have noobligation to save them simply because they exist. But many thrivinginsti

228、tutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine jobeducationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way toreduce rising costs or increase revenues (收入) significantly. Raising feesdoesnt bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the enrollment (注册人数)

229、 goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(78) Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private. not usually becauseof bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money onevery customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students

230、 or toomany students. Even a very good college is a very bad business。It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Lowenrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may gounder. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are anational nec

231、essity. (79) There is no basis for arguing that private schools arebound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to thecontrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as thefinest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that publicinstitutions wil

232、l be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性) is a nationalnecessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthydiversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours,uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In animperfect society, d

233、iversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of publichigher education know the importance of keeping private higher educationhealthy。6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support _。A. private higher education in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private univers

234、ities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of_ 。A. the nature of school B. poor teachersC. bad management D. too few students8. The phrase “go under” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_。A. have low fe

235、es B. get into difficultiesC. do a bad job educationally D. have low teaching standards9. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior topublic schools。B. The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity ofeducatio

236、n。C. A high-quality university is always a good business。D. Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up。10. In the authors opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in_。A. full enrollment B. raising feesC. reducing student aid D. national supportPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based

237、on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicagos McCormick Elementary School dont knowChinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home,its becoming their third language. Theyve been hearing and using Chinesewords since nursery, and its natural to give a ni hao when

238、 strangers enterthe classroom, “Its really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from alesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “Im teaching mymom to speak Chinese。”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a commonphenomenon in American schools, where Chin

239、ese is rapidly becoming the hot newlanguage. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languageslike Chinese, and pressure from them as well as from business leaders,politicians, and parents has produced a quick growth in the number ofprograms。Chicago city officials make their best

240、effort to include Chinese in theirpublic schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools,with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places likeLos Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of theChinese language and culture a

241、s an advantage in a global economy where China isgrowing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with theworlds next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at theAsia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has

242、already changed the arrangements in terms of how childrentoday are going to think about their careers. The question is when, not whether,the schools are going to adjust”(80) The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how manystudy Spanish or French. But one report shows that befor
