choices marked A，B，C，and D Choose the best one and mark your answer on the
Answer Sheet……
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory.The meanings
of thousands of everyday perceptions，the bases 21the decisions we make，and the
roots of our habits and skills are to be 22in our past experiences，which are
brought into the present23memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep 24 available for later use.It
includes not only“remembering”thing like arithmetic or historical facts，but also
any change in the way an animal typically behaves.Memory is25when a rat gives
up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain
pile.Memory is also involved when a sixyearold child learns to swing a baseball
bat.
Memory26not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects
and machines.Computers，for example，contain devices for storing data for later
use.It is interesting to compare the memorystorage capacity of a computer27
that of a human being.The instantaccess memory of a large computer may hold up to
100，000“words”ready for28use.A naverage American teenager probably
recognizes the meanings of about 100，000 words of English.However，this is but a
fraction of the total29of information which the teenager has stored.Consider，
for example，the number of facts and places that the teenager can recognize on
sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problemsolving intelligence
of human beings.A large part of a persons memory is in terms of words and30

marked A，B，C，and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil……
Questions 31 to 34 are based on the following passage：
The stability of the U.S. banking system is maintained by means of supervision
and regulation，inspections，deposit insurance，and loans to troubled banks.For
over 50 years，these precautions have prevented banking panics.However，there have
been some close calls.The collapse of Continental lllinois Bank & Trusted Company
of Chicago in 1984 did not bring down the banking system，but it certainly rattled
some windows.
In the late 1970s，Continental soared to a leadership position among Midwestern
banks.Parts of its growth strategy were risky，however.It made many loans in the
energy field，including $1 billion that it took over from Penn Square Band of
Oklahoma City.To obtain the funds it needed to make these loans，Continental relied
heavily on shortterm borrowing from other banks and large，30day certificates
of deposit-“hot money”，in banking jargon.At least one Continental officer saw
danger signs and wrote a warning memo to her superiors，but the memo went
unheeded .Although the Comptroller of the Currency inspected Continental on a
regular basis，it failed to see low serious its problems were going to be.
Penn Square Bank was closed by regulators in July 1982.When energy prices began
to slip，most of the $1 billion in loans that Continental had taken over from the
smaller banks turned out to be had.Other loans to troubled companies such Chrysler
，lnternational Harvester，and Braniff looked questionable.Seeing these problem，
“hot money”owners began to pull their funds out of Continental.
By the spring of 1984，a run on Continental had begun.In May，the bank had to
borrow $3.5 billion from the Fed to replace overnight funds it bad lost.But this
was not enough.To try to stem the outflow of deposits from Continemtal，the FDIC
agreed to guarantee not just the first $100，000 of each depositors money but all
of it.Nevertheless，the run continued.
Federal regulators tried hard to find a sound bank that could take over
Continental-a common way of rescuing failing banks.But Continental was just too big
for anyone to buy.By July，all hope of a private sector rescue was
dashed.Regulators faced a stark choice：Let Continental collapse，or take it over
themselves.
Letting the bank fail seemed too risky.It was estimated that more than 100
other banks had placed enough funds in Continental to put them at risk if
Continental failed.Thus，on a rainy Thursday at the end of July，the FDIC in effect
nationalized Continental Illinois at a cost of $4.5 billion.This kept the banks
doors open and prevented a chain reaction.However，in all but a technical sense，
Continental had become the biggest bank failure in U.S.history.
31In the spring of 1984，Continental experienced——
Aa fast growth period. Ba stability period
Ca run. Dan oil price decrease.
32By July，all hope of a private sector rescue was——。
Adestroyed. Babsurd Cdesperate. Ddamaged.
33The nationalizatin of Continental——
Asaved it
Bmade“hot money”owners continue to pull their funds out of Continental.
Calmost brought down the banking system
Dfired many highranking officers.
34Banking panics may be prevented by means of——。
Adeposit insurance. Bgrowth strategy
Clongterm borrowing. Dwarning memo.
Questions 35 to 38 are based on the following passage：
If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills，American
firms have a problem.Humanresource management is not traditionally seen as
central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States.Skill
acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility.Labor is simply another
factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one
buys raw materials or equipment.
The lack of importance attached to humanresource management can be seen in
the corporation hierarchy.In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost
always second in command.The post of head of humanresource managements is
usually a specialized job，off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy.The executive
who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to
move up to Chief Executive Officer（CEO）。By way of contrast，in Japan the head of
humanresource management is central-usually the second most important executive，
after the CEO，in the firms hierarchy.
While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their
work forces，in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than do the
Japanese or German firms.The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated
on professional and managerial employees.And the limited investments that are made
in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills
necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make
it possible to absorb new technologies.
As a result，problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive.If
American workers，for example，take much longer to learn how to operate new
flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany（as they do），the
effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United
Stated.More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity，and
the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that
limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.The result is a slower
pace of technological change.And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the
population affect the wages of the top half.If the bottom half cant effectively
staff the processes that have to be operated，the management and professional jobs
that go with these processes will disappear.
35Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in
American companies？
AThey hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.
BThey see the gaining of skills as their employees own business.
CThey attach more importance to workers than to equipment……
DThey only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.
36What is the position of the head of human resource management in an
American firm？
AHe is one of the most important executives in the firm……
BHis post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.
CHe is directly under the chief financial executive.
DHe has no authority in making important decisions in the firm……
37The money most American firms spend in training mainly goes to——
Aworkers who can operate new equipment
Btechnological and managerial staff
Cworkers who lack basic background skills
Dtop executives.
38What is the main idea of the passage？
AAmerican firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human
resource management.
BExtensive retraining is indispensable to effective humanresource man agement.
CThe head of humanresource management must be in the central position in a
firms hierarchy……
DThe humanresource management strategies of American firms affect their
competitive capacity……
Questions 39 to 42 are based on the following passage：
Internet is a vast network of computers that connects many of the worlds
businesses，institutions，and individuals.The internet，which means interconnected
network of networks，links tens of thousands of smaller computer networks.These
networks transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words，images，and
sounds.
The Internet was information on virtually every topic.Network users can search
through sources ranging from vast databases to small electronic“bulletin
boards ，”where users form discussion groups around common interests.Much of the
Internets traffic consists of messages sent from one computer user to
another.These messages are called electronic mail or email.Internet users have
electronic addresses that allow them to send and receive email.Other uses of the
network include obtaining news，joining electronic debates，and playing electronic
games.One feature of the Internet，known as the World Wide Web，provides graphics，
audio，and video to enhance the information in its documents.These documents cover
a vast number of topics.
People usually access the Internet with a device called a modem.Modems connect
computers to the network through telephone lines.Much of the Internet operates
through worldwide telephone networks of fiberoptic cables.These cables contain
hairthin strands of glass that carry data as pulses of light.They can transmit
thousands of times more data than local phone lines，most of which consist of
copper wires.
The history of the Internet began in the 1960s.At that time，the Advanced
Research Projects Agency （ARPA）of the United States Department of Defense
developed a network of computers called ARPAnet.Originally，ARPAnet connected only
military a nd government computer systems.Its purpose was to make these systems
secure in the event of a disaster or was.Soon after the creation of ARPAnet，
universities and other institutions developed their own computer networks.These
networks eventually were merged with ARPAnet to form the Internet.By the 1990s，
anyone with a computer，modem，and Internet software could link up to the Internet.
In the future，the Internet will probably grow more sophisticated as computer
technology becomes more powerful.Many experts believe the Internet may become part
of a larger network called the information superhighway.This network，still under
development，would link computers with telephone companies，cable television
stations，and other communication systems.People could bank，shop，watch TV，and
perform many other activities through the network.
39This passage is about the——of the Internet.
Afuture.Bgeneral introduction Cuse.Dhistory.
40Which of the following statements about the Internet is true？
AARPA was the first net used by American universities and institutions.
BThe history of the Internet can be traced back to fifty years ago.
CThe purpose of the Internet is to protect the world in the event of war.
DARPAnet formed the foundation of the Internet nowadays……
41The Internet enables people to do all the following things EXCEPT——。
Asending email.Bobtaining news
Cexchanging modem.Dinternet related chat（IRC）。
42According to the last paragraph，in the future——。
Ain may be hard to predict the development of the Internet.
Bthe Internet will become an indispensable superhighway.
Cthe Internet will be applied more.
Dthe Internet will combine cable stations.
Questions 43 to 46 are based on the following passage：
Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is
destiny.According to this ideology，basic biological and psychological differences
exist between the sexes.These differences require each sex to play a separate role
in social life.Women are the weaker sexboth physically and emotionally.Thus，they
are naturally suited，much more so than men，to the performance of domestic
duties .A womans place，under normal circumstances，is within the protective
environment of the home.Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles，such
as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand，men are best suited to go out
into the competitive world of work and politics，where serious responsibilities
must be taken on.Men are to be the providers；women and children are“dependents.”
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household
should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of
their sex.It is thus appropriate for women，not men，to be employed as nurses，
social workers，elementary school teachers，household helpers，and clerks and
secretaries.
These positions are simply an extension of womens domestic role.Informal
distinctions between“womens work”and“mens work”in the labor force，
according to the ideology，are simply a functional reflection of the basic
differences between the sexes.
Finally，the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another
significant way.For the human species to survive over time，its members must
regularly reproduce.Thus，women must，whether at home or in the labor force，make
the most of their physical appearance.
So goes the ideology.It is，of course，not true that basic biological and
psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sexdefined roles
in social life.There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society，
and those role differences that to exist are largely learned.
But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that
nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society，sex
defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
43Womens place，some people think，is within the protective environment
of the home because——
Awomen can provide better care for the children.
Bwomen are too weak to do any agricultural work at all.
Cwomen are biologically suited to domestic jobs.
Dwomen can not compete with men in any field.
44 According to the author，sex roles——。
Aare socially determined
Bare emotionally and physically determined.
Ccan only be determined by what education people take.
Dare biologically and psychologically determined.
45The author points out that the assignments of womens roles in work——。
Aare determined by what they are better suited to.
Bgrow out of their position inside the home.
Creflect a basic difference between men and women.
Dare suitable to them，but not to men.
46Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
AThe division of sexdefined roles is completely unacceptable……
BWomens roles in work are too limited at present……
CIn one society，men might perform what is considered womens duties by another.
DSome of the womens roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men.
Questions 47 to 50 are based on the following passage：
In a sense，the new protectionism is not protectionism at all，at least not in
the traditional sense of the term.The old protectionism referred only to trade
restricting and tradeexpanding devices，such as the tariff or export subsidy.The
new protectionism is much broader than this；it includes interventions into foreign
trade but is not limited to them.The new protectionism，in fact，refers to how the
whole of government intervention into the private economy affects international
trade.The emphasis on trade is still there，thus came the term“protection.”But
what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect
international economic relations.
The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the
victory of the interventionist，or welfare economy over the market economy.Jab
Tumiler writes，“The old protectionism…coexisted，without any apparent
intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well as
an international economic distribution mechanism-indeed，protectionists as well as
（if not more than）free traders stood for laissezfaire（放任政策）。Now，as in
the 1930s，protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the
ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies
satisfaction.”
It is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is
responsible for the protectionism.In a market economy，economic change of various
colors implies redistribution of resources and incomes.The same opinion in many
communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper.There
fore，the government intervenes（干涉；干预）to bring about a more desired result.
The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe.In
Sweden ，Norway，Finland，Denmark，and the Netherlands，government intervention in
almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal.In Great
Britain this is only somewhat less true.Government traditionally has played a very
active role in economic life in France and continued to do so.Only West Germany
dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe.It
also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.
The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as
in Western Europe.Social security，unemployment insurance，minimumwage laws，and
rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene.
47This passage is primarily concerned with discussing——
Athe definition of the new protectionism.
Bthe difference between new and old protectionism.
Cthe emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world.
Dthe significance of the welfare state.
48Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare state mentioned
in this passage？
AFree education is available to a child.
BLaws are made to fix the minimum wage.
CA jobless person can be insured.
DThere are regulations for rent.
49Which of the following inferences is true，according to this passage？
AThe economy developed faster in welfare states than in nonwelfare states.
BIn the 1930s，protectionism began to rise.
CThe new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest.
DGovernment plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe than
in Great Britain……
50The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions？
AWhen did the new protectionism arise？
BWhy is the new protectionism so popular in northern European countries？。
CDoes the American government play a more active role in economic life than
the British government？。
DWhy does the government intervene in economic life？。
Section B
Directions：。Read the following passage carefully and then give short answers
to the five questions.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet……
In a television interview，Mr.Daniel Brummage，President of the International
Olympics Committee，is defending his Committees decision to hold the Games again
in four years time.
Ever since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896，theyve had their
critics.Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble.But part of the aim of
the Games ，when they were first held in ancient Greece，was to discourage war
between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.My Committee and I
intend to see that they go on doing this.
The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could be
more harmfully employed.In my opinion，it does a lot of good，getting people to
forget their differences in a communal activity.Any competitor or spectator at the
Games or in the Olympic Village will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship
there is unforgettable：as if the world were one big family.And the hostilities
that the press always likes to exaggerate，only exist in a few quarters.What we
suffer from is bad publicity，not had sportsmanship.
These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the
world.Not only do they bring sportsmen together，but they unite a world public.Isn
‘t this a sufficient reason for continuing then？Of course，a few people are going
to use them as an occasion for propaganda（宣传），but this is no reason why the
Games should be canceled.Why should every harmless activity be spoiled for the
majority by the minority？
No！As long as the majority wants it，these Games will continue.This is sport，
sir，not politics，and I intend that it should remain so.
51Is that right that all the people in the world agree to hold the Olympic
Games？
52When did the modern Olympic Games begin？
53What is the purpose of the Olympic Committee to hold the Games？
54What does Mr.Daniel Brummage criticize in his speech and Why？。
55Will the Games continue？Why？
PARTⅣTranslation （15%）
Directions：。In this part there is a passage in English.Translate the five
sentences underlined into Chinese and write your translation on the Answer Sheet...
（56）The types of daydreams，whether they are pleasant and hopeful or filled
with despair take shape in childhood when everyone develops one of three basic
daydreaming styles：positive negative and scattered American Health
reports.Although everyone lapses occasionally into each of these types，positive
daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy，playful or entertaining of these
types， positive daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy，playful or
entertaining scenarios.（57）Negative daydreamers tend to dwell on lifes darker
side.imagining dangerous and/or life threatening situations，such as the appearance
of afatal or weakening disease or becoming a victim of violence.Scattered day
dreamers are easily bored and distracted.“Their mental images tend to be fleeting
，repetitive and shallow，like variations on the same fairy tales，”explains Yale
psychologist Roni Tower.
（58）While all three types are common，positive imaginations are likeliest to
serve as springboards（跳板）for problem solving，while negative and scattered
daydreams may leave a person feeling anxious.Negative daydreamers are waiting for
the other shoe“to fall.”Their imaginations are often guiltridden or obsessive.
There are times when drifting away can cause problems，according to Blodin.“If
daydreaming gets in the way of daily function because the person is doing it all
day，the person wont be very productive，”she says.“The amount of time and the
frequency that a person daydreams is whats important.It should not take up all of
your time.（59）If people find their daydreaming is becoming excessive（过多的），
they should take a realistic look at whats going on in their life and ask
themselves what they are trying to avoid.Then they can assess what steps they need
to take to correct the situation.”（Anyone who has a hard time discriminating
between reality and imagination or starts replacing reallife family and friends
with imagined people should seek professional help.）
（60）Professor Singer sums up the advantages of daydreams to the average
person：“by sitting quietly and letting your daydreams emerge instead of squelching
（抑制）them，you may find there are parts of yourself you havent been listening
to.Instead of fearing them，youll gain access to tremendous range of interesting，
creative ideas.”

57.消极型的白日梦者总是想象着生活中比较阴暗方面，想象着危险的和（或者）威胁生命的情景，诸如出现一种致命的或使人衰弱的疾病，或是自己成了暴力的受害者。
58.尽管这三种白日梦类型都很常见，积极型的幻想最有可能作为解决问题的跳板，而消极型和零散型的白日梦可能会使人感到焦虑不安。
59.如果人们发现自己的白日梦过多了，那他们就要现实地看待他们生活中正在发生的事情，并问问自己他们是在力图逃避些什么。
60.辛格教授总结了白日梦对普通人的益处：“静静地坐在那里，让你的白日梦浮现出来，而不是抑制它们，你就可以发现你尚未注意到的、自身内心活动的那些部分。”
