Key : T F T T F An expert gives advice on reducing stress. The key[关键] to success in reducing stress[压力，紧张]

1

is finding a technique[技巧] that works[有效] best for you, so you may want to try several different methods. Exercising regularly is one of the best ways to manage stress[控制压力]. Relax by taking a long walk after work, even if it's dark — among trees and green fields if possible.

Try keeping a stress diary[试着就自己的压力情况每天记日记], so that you know what is stressful for you. This can help you to avoid getting into the same stressful situations time and again.

Prioritise what needs doing during the day[把一天要做的事情按重要性排出先后] and tick off [勾去] each item as you finish it. Don't worry about not getting everything done. Time management is a vital[极其重要的] step in keeping stress levels down. And begin making time for yourself. Stop doing everything yourself and try to delegate[指派别人去做] more. Your saying \to some things will mean you can do more in the end.

Cut down on smoking and drinking. Smoking limits[限制] the blood flow to the heart and so stops the body from coping naturally with stress[cope with“应付， 对付， 克服”]. Drinking alcohol disturbs regular sleep patterns and upsets a healthy diet[喝酒影响正常的睡眠模式并且扰乱了健康的饮食]. You need a healthy diet and regular sleep to beat[胜过] stress.

Remember, laughing boosts[增强] the immune[免疫] system and lowers stress levels. Keep telling yourself, \can handle[处理，对付] this!\wonders[积极的态度创造奇迹].

Carrie: Certainly. There are two times when we need to check the schedule. They are 1 st July and 1st September. The 1st July date is actually the start date, so...

Pablo: Sorry to interrupt — I'd understood that the start date was 1st August.

Carrie: Ah, yes, that was the original date, but it has been agreed to start earlier because of the problems with suppliers[供应商].

Pablo: Well, could I just add that there is a communication problem here. Madrid office was not informed and it's going to be more difficult to...

Reporter: So he’s here to stay.

Fan: I hope so. It was so funny at first to have a Chinese website. I went back to Italy five years ago and looked through[浏览] the records, and now I have made contact with[和……建立联系] my family in Italy and in other parts of America. It's great. It's wonderful.

A business analyst discusses the financial value of the footballer [球员], David Beckham.【贝克汉姆】

Interviewer: How much is David Beckham really worth to a club?

Analyst: He’s a very valuable asset. He was trained at Manchester, so they didn’t buy him. His transfer fee [转队费] of ?25 million to Real Madrid [皇家马德里] was pure profit. Real Madrid estimates that they can get that back in only four years just by selling shirts. Manchester United sold more shirts with his name on than any other player’s. His popularity is a key part of the club’s many sponsorship and media deals. Selling him to Spain is obviously a risk for United.

Interviewer: And how much does he earn himself?

Analyst: He makes a lot of money. At Manchester United he earned ?90,000 a week. ?20,000 was for the club’s use of his image in promotional activities[促销活动]. As well as the ?5 million a year that he earns on the pitch[在球场上], he makes another ?10 million a year in personal endorsements, such as Adidas[阿迪达斯], Vodaphone[沃达丰] and Marks and Spencer[玛莎百货].

Analyst: It’s impossible to put an accurate figure on its total value. ?200 million is one guess. Interviewer: Why so much?

Analyst: Because he is the key to global markets, particularly in the Far East. ―Bekkamu‖ as he is known in Japan is recognized by over 90% of the population in And they really ate three proper meals a day. Not like over here. I’m just eating crisps and biscuits all the time. All full of fat.

Alan: Yes, I read that British people are the biggest snackers [people who eat biscuits，吃饼干的人] in Europe.

Angela: No, it’s not, Bill, it’s ridiculous. If they ban everything when there’s a food scare [食物恐慌症], there wouldn’t be anything left to eat.

Bill: Yes, I know, but we know from US government research that these trans fats [转移传递的脂肪] kill thousands of people every year.

Angela: Yes, but as far as I’m concerned, you can’t isolate one thing from everything else.[isolate … from …：把…与…割裂开来] The fact is these fats are in 40% of all the processed foods [加工食品] we eat. So how are we going to get rid of them?

1.The speaker is and Environmental Health Officer in Milton Keynes.

2.Our job includes two aspects: dealing with complaints and inspecting premises.

4.The inspection rating determines the frequency of being inspected.

5.Highly rated premises will be visited more frequently. Key: T T F T F

Mary Scott, an Environmental Health Officer in Milton Keynes[地名：密尔顿?凯恩斯], talks about her job. I’ve been an environmental health officer [环境卫生官员] for the last fifteen years and here at Milton Keynes for ten years.

We will react to any reasonably serious complaint about any premises that serve or sell food products. We generally get two types of complaint, either about the food that people have eaten, or about the condition of the premises. Our officers will investigate complaints quite quickly.

We get all sorts of complaints. We get completely stupid complaints. We also get really serious ones, of course, such as food poisoning as a result of eating badly prepared food. Or they’ve found something in their food, like a piece of wood, or a piece of fingernail. We first decide whether the complaint is really justified, and then we decide whose fault it is, the manufacturer’s or the caterer’s[manufacturer: 厂商；caterer: 食客].

A second aspect of our job is inspecting. We have a systematically organized inspection schedule. We inspect all premises that handle food. At the end of each inspection, the officer gives them an inspecting rating. That rating shows how good they are, and therefore how often they inspect them. Premises that are highly rated by us will be visited less frequently than premises that have very poor standards.

changes in Coalville.

In the past twenty-five years, this area has undergone a tremendous change, from a traditional mining, heavy industry and manufacturing background. Many people have been made redundant.[be made redundant: 下岗] We’re now starting to see a shift [转变、改变]towards more transportation related activities. For example, because of the geographical location of the area, we’re starting to see warehousing [仓储]and logistics [物流]coming to the area. As a result the service industries have seen a major upturn, for example, hotels, leisure facilities, sport and recreational facilities. We’re also seeing a major shift towards more personal service industries such as hairdressing, childcare, care for the elderly, etc. There has also been a major regeneration of the area. Slag heaps [矿渣堆]have been cleared, recreational facilities have been developed and a major science museum has been opened in the town. The college has kept up with the changes in the economic and industrial environment, and we have developed new courses to reflect the needs of local industry. Listening 14（Extract 1, 00：00—01：30）

10. All the graduates are searching for a ___ job. A well-paid B well-paying C good paid 1答案：B解析：frightened 是由动词frighten“使……惊吓”的过去分词转化而来的形容词，在这里它修饰horse，具有被动的含义，意为“受惊的”。frightening表示“令人害怕的”。

2答案：A解析：be used to doing sth 习惯于做某事，句意表示“他习惯于被别人夸奖。”因此要用被动语态being praised. 3答案：C解析：murder“谋杀”，用其过去分词murdered作定语可以表示被动和完成的意思，而用现在分词作定语是表示主动和正在发生的意思，用不定式作定语表示动作尚未发生，此处妇女是被杀而且是既定事实， 所以应选择过去分词作定语。

4答案：A解析：tend to do sth 倾向于做某事，容易做某事。句意为“数据显示车祸容易在离家近的地方发生。”occur 此处应为主动，所以选择tend to occur. 5答案：B解析：I am 的反意疑问句应该用aren’t I? 6答案：A解析：形容词interested是由动词interest“使……发生兴趣”转化而来的形容词，表示“感兴趣的”, 此处作表语。interesting 表示“有意思的”。 7答案：A解析：that引导宾语从句，而反意疑问句中的附加疑问句以主句动词为主，此处主句动词为said, 所以选择didn’t she.

8答案：B解析：此处意为“被出口到外国的商品”，动词短语export to …作后置定语修饰goods，过去分词可以表示被动的意思，因此选择过去分词作后置定语。 9答案：C解析：look up to 表示“敬仰”，look up“（在参考书中）查找”，look upon“看作”。

1答案：C解析：look out 当心；look after 照看；look into 调查。句意为“警察正在调查两个孩子的失踪。” B five-storeys’ C five-storey’s

2答案：B解析：从时间状语“我们当年在伦敦时”可知，是在过去特定时间正发生的动作，所以应选择过去进行时，此外，主句的主谓之间是被动关系，所以选择“was being repaired”。

3答案：A解析：be delighted to do sth 表示“很高兴做某事”。

4答案：B解析：从时间until then “到那时为止”以及for six months可知是过去的过去，应使用过去完成时。

5答案：B解析：应该用现在分词，表示“令人吃惊的”，因为主语是it，指代的是前面“眨眼间就见到光明”这件事。

6答案：A解析：look up（在参考书中）查；search 搜索；look through 浏览。句意为“在字典中查新单词”。 7答案：A解析：get on with sb 和某人相处和谐； go on with sth 继续做某事。根据句意选择A。

1答案：B 解析：本题考查的是复合名词变复数这一语法点。“战俘”即prisoner-of-war的中心是prisoner，所以变复数时只需把它变为复数即可。所以答案选B 2答案：C解析：本题目考查的是复合名词的其中一种结构：名词+名词结构。所以房间号这一复合名词的英语应为‖room number‖，复数应在中心词number后加-s，所以答案选C 3答案：A

4答案：A解析：复合名词作量度，按照语法中所陈述的一样，中间需用连字符，而且只能用单数形式。所以答案选A 5答案：A

6答案：C解析：只有none后面可以加of, 所以只能选择C

7答案：A解析：答案选A，none为不定代词，单独使用，后面不再跟名词。也可以用于none of + 名词结构,所以与本题不符；而当one作数词讲时，表示单个事物，后面可以跟单数可数名词，也可以用于one of the + 名词复数形式或集合名词结构，表示“其中一个”，所以也与本题不符，因此答案只能选择A 8答案：A解析：本题考查的是复合名词作定语这一语言点。复合名词作量度，按照语法中所陈述的一样，中间需用连字符，而且只能用单数形式。根据此，答案B、C不对，答案A使用of结构表示所属关系在第十单元中有详细讲解。

9答案：B解析：本题考查的是whatever, whichever,

10

5 B it is forecast that … 后接主语从句，it 为形式主语，表示“据预测??”。forecast 为不规则动词，过去式和过去分词皆为forecast

6 C 现在分词作原因状语，因为该动作发生在谓语动词之前，所以用现在分词的完成式。

7 C be expected to do sth. 被预期将会做某事，此句意为“需求被预期会翻一番。”

8 B the reason for 后接名词或代词，表示“??的原

upplementary Reading:

Read the following passage and choose the

correct answers.

U1 In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory, or some other place away form the home. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bills. The money was used for food, clothes, a house, and other family needs. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.

In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away form the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked the meals, cleaned house, washed the clothes, and did other household work, Her job at home was very important.

In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. Many

Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.

There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.

A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time, or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.

1. Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?

A. Men worked at a job to earn money for the family. B. The woman made most of decisions.

U2 When a 20-pound turkey emerged from the kitchen at a weekend dress rehearsal (排演) for Thanksgiving dinner, about two dozen Chinese immigrants pulled out their digital cameras and took pictures.

―Wah!‖ exclaimed several.

―It’s cooked so well,‖ said Wilson Goh. ―Under the light, it’s very pretty.‖

Sponsored (赞助) by the Chinese American Etiquette Association, the event addressed the typical American holiday’s traditions, which often baffle new immigrants. ―The great thing is that immigrants come and adopt these holidays and traditions and also change them,‖ said Noah Pickus, a professor of ethics and public policy at Duke University who studies American identity. ―That is part of how they become American, and it gives new energy to us.‖

Jane Leu, director of Upwardly Global, a San Francisco organization that helps immigrant professionals rebuild their careers, sees special relevance for immigrants in Thanksgiving.

―Most don’t know that it is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America and living to tell the tale.‖ Leu said. ―My sense is that you have to be in the U.S. for a long time before you feel that getting up at 7 a.m. on a day off to put in the turkey and bake up some pies has any meaning.‖

Many immigrants do adopt the holiday after they arrive in the United States, but in their own ways. Cherie M. Querol Moreno, 52, of Daly City, will serve lumpia (spring rolls) and coconut and pineapple fruit salad this Thanksgiving to honor her native Philippines. And she’ll serve succotash and corn to represent the contributions of Native Americans. Moreno says she used to serve turkey, but there’s always too much. She will instead serve chicken this year.

―The spirit of the holiday lives in each wave of settlers that arrives and enriches this country with their culture and traditions,‖ said Moreno, who immigrated in 1980. ―I didn’t want to imitate the first Thanksgiving; I wanted to make the occasion meaningful to us.‖

1. The Chinese American Etiquette Association is most probably an organization which______.

A. helps new immigrants from China to get to know

about American culture and customs

B. just teaches new immigrants from China to get to know about the holiday--Thanksgiving

C. helps Chinese immigrant professionals rebuild their careers

D. studies American identity

2．From the passage, we can infer that______.

A. the two dozen Chinese immigrants took pictures excitedly

B. people usually get up late on a day off

C. immigrants don’t like to adopt American holidays and traditions

D. for many immigrants, Thanksgiving is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America 3. The underlined word ―baffle‖ can be best replaced by ________. A. surprise B. satisfy C. frighten D. puzzle

4. From the text, we know that Moreno is among those immigrants who ________.

A. don’t like t serve turkey at Thanksgiving dinner

B. are celebrating Thanksgiving to get through the first year in America

C. adopt American holidays and traditions and also change them

D. want to honor only their native Philippines by serving their favorite food

5．According to Jane Leu, __________.

A. most immigrants never know how to celebrate Thanksgiving.

B. most immigrants don’t serve turkey in Thanksgiving. C. it takes long time for the immigrants to understand the meaning of Thanksgiving.

D. most immigrants don’t like getting up early to prepare traditional Thanksgiving food. Key:A B D C C

U3 It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints ( 约束 ) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story:

I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We

18

had cubicle ( 小隔间 ) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.

It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but \isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve A. advertise himself on the job market

B. persuade his boss to sign a long-term contract

C. try to get inside information about the organization D. do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions

5. To be successful in negotiations, one must_____. A. meet his boss at the appropriate time B. arrive at the negotiation table punctually

C. be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction D. be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes Key: D B A D C

a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.

Performance is your best bargaining chip ( 筹码 ) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.

Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market.

What will someone else pay for your services?

Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.

1. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should _____.

A. demonstrate his capability

B. give his boss a good impression C. ask for as much money as he can D. ask for the salary he hopes to get

2. What can be inferred from Beth's story?

A.Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.

B. If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.

C. People should not be content with what they have got. D. People should be careful when negotiating for a job. 3. We can learn from the passage that ____. A. unfairness exists in salary increases

B. most people are overworked and underpaid C. one should avoid overstating one's performance

D. most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises

4. To get a pay raise, a person should______.

U4 The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive（极度活跃的） America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed（无与伦比的） might（力量）. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying: ―Won’t the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anticompetitive force?”

There’s no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982.Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. International affiliates（分公司） account for a fast growing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. In Argentina, for instance, after the reforms of the early 1990s,multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.

I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie（潜存于?之下） the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers’ demands. All these are beneficial, not detrimental(有害的), to consumers. As productivity grows, the world’s wealth increases.

Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty（少的）. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could re-create the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the U.S., when the Standard Oil Trust was broken up. The mergers of telecom companies,

19

such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress .On the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars, too, concentration is increasing—witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan—but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.

Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched. A few weeks ago, Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry. Who is going to supervise, regulate and operate as lender of last resort with the gigantic banks that are being created? C.unfair competition

D.the super power of the U.S. Key: C A D B C

U5 The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large Won’t multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements（侵害） to fair competition? And should one country take upon itself the role of ―defending competition‖ on issues that affect many other nations, as in the U.S. vs. Microsoft case?

1.What is the typical trend of businesses today? A.to take in more foreign funds B.to invest more abroad

C.to combine and become bigger D.to trade with more countries

2.According to the author, one of the driving forces behind M&A wave is_____. A.the greater customer demands B.a surplus supply for the market C.a growing productivity

D.the increase of the world’s wealth

3.From paragraph 4 we can infer that_____.

A.the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers

B.WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs

C.the costs of the globalization process are enormous D.the Standard Oil Trust might have threatened competition

4.Toward the new business wave, the writer’s attitude can be said to be____. A.optimistic B.objective C.pessimistic D.biased

5．Microsoft serves as a example of ___ in the last paragraph.

A.a successful merger

B.multinationals shift production from one place to another

population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.

One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured good. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.

1.A small population may mean _____ .

A. higher productivity, but a lower average income B. lower productivity, but a higher average income C. lower productivity, and a lower average income D. higher productivity, and a higher average income 2.According the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing _____ . A. agriculture

B. transport system C. industry

D. national economy

3.In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _____ . A. goes up

20

B. is decreasing C. remains stable D. is out of control

4.According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for _____ . A. a developing nation B. a developed nation

C. every nation with a big population D. every nation with a small nation

5.It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because ____ .

A. there too many underdeveloped countries in the world B. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development

C. different governments have different views of the question

D. even developed countries may have complex problems

Key: D B B B C

U7 Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing（裁判）decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.

The researcher organized an experimental tournament（锦标赛）involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.

Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.

The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum（最佳的）distance is about 20 meters.

There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.

If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up

with the ball, the researcher argues.

He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.

1.The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.

A. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup

B. analyze the causes of errors made by football referees C. set a standard for football refereeing

D. reexamine the rules for football refereeing

2.The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _______. A. slightly above average

B. higher than in the 1998 World Cup C. quite unexpected

D. as high as in a standard match

3.The findings of the experiment show that _______. A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball

B. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors

C. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur

D. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot 4.The word ―officials‖ (Line 3, Para.4) most probably refers to _______.

A. the researchers involved in the experiment B. the inspectors of the football tournament C. the referees of the football tournament D. the observers at the site of the experiment

5.What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?

A. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.

B. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.

C. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.

D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition. Key: B C A C B

U8 No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the first tentative (尝试的) competition in Uruguay (乌拉圭) in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in popularity

21

and prestige (声望).

A group of visionary (有梦想的人) French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet (朱尔斯?雷米特), are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy (金杯) bore (刻) Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition.

When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed (无可争议的) status as the greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately (轮流) in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May 1996 to select Korea (韩国) and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition.

Since 1930, the 16 tournaments have seen only seven different winners. However, the FIFA World Cup has also been punctuated by dramatic (戏剧性的) upsets that have helped create football’s history--the United States defeating England in 1950, North Korea's defeat of Italy in 1966, Cameroon's emergence in the 1980s and their opening match defeat of the Argentinean cup-holders in 1990....

Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated audience of over 37 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately (大约) 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French stadiums.

After all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup remains the same--the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer's ambition.

1.Whose name was on the original gold trophy? A. Jules Rimet’s

B. Juan Antonio Samaranch C. Roger D. Zidane

2.How long has the Second World War stopped the FIFA World Cup? A. 12 years B. 10 years C. 13 years D. 15 years

3.Which country hosts the 2002 World Cup? A. France

B. Japan C. Korea

D. both B and C

4.What does ―spell‖ (line 1, para 5 ) mean in this passage?

A. to read letter by letter

B. a state of period of enchantment C. a period of time D. amount to

U9 Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to \exertion. The centers for disease control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.

In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts; for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. \says York Onnen, program director of the president's council on physical fitness and sports. Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital.

A study at the Boston university medical center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight. If you have been sedentary ( 极少活动的 ) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments,

you may lose even more weight. 1.What is said about the average American in the passage?

22

A. They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of \beer.

B. They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.

C. They prefer \beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food.

D. They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.

2.Some people dislike exercise because______. A. they think it is physically exhausting

B. they find it hard to exercise while on a diet

C. they don't think it possible to walk 3 miles every day D.they find consulting caloric-expenditure charts troublesome

3.\(line 3, para. 2) means \

A. agree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be difficult to work off by exercise

B. partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reduction

C. are not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one's new weight

D. are not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weight

4.What was confirmed by the Boston university medical center's study?

A. Controlling one's calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.

B. Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight. C. Weight reduction is impossible without exercise. D. One could lose ten pounds in a year's time if there's no increase in food intake.

U10 Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone’s preference, is that it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola（可口可乐）companies—Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified

themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.

We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic（传统型）or Pepsi, Diet（低糖的）Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.

We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.

Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 of 27 identified all four samples correctly. While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people go all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.

U11 Imagine eating everything delicious you want -- with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldn't it? New \United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients (营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So it's up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.

Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that can't be digested at all. Normally, special chemicals in the intestines (肠) \molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty acids.

The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E, and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and

are carried into the bloodstream.

Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers say it's that ability to slide unchanged through the intestine that makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc.

Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming.

1.We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that ______.

A. contains plenty of nutrients

B. renders foods calorie-free while retaining their vitamins

C. makes foods easily digestible

D. makes foods fat-free while keeping them delicious 2.The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be ______. A. commercially useless B. just as anticipated

C. somewhat controversial D. quite unexpected

3.Olestra is different from ordinary fats in that ______. A. it passes through the intestines without being absorbed

B. it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the body C. it helps reduce the incidence of heart disease D. it prevents excessive intake of vitamins

4.What is a possible negative effect of olestra according to some critics?

A. It may impair the digestive system. B. It may affect the overall fat intake. C. It may increase the risk of cancer. D. It may spoil the consumers' appetite.

5.Why are nutritionists concerned about adding vitamins to olestra?

A. It may lead to the over-consumption of vitamins. B. People may be induced to eat more than is necessary. C. The function of the intestines may be weakened.

D. It may trigger a new wave of fake food production. Key: D D A C B

U13 BEIJING, Feb. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- China's mineral authority will impose stricter control over coal resources in a move to help develop large-scale coal enterprises, which is believed to focus on the sustainable development of the country's rich coal reserve.

The Ministry of Land and Resources expects to start drafting its first special programme on coal exploitation this year, while carrying out an overall probe into the transferal of land rights for coal mining and the Province, but because of serious workplace accidents. Official statistics show that 70 per cent of the country's electrical power comes from coal burning. Zhang believed the operations of hundreds of small and technically backward coal mines is the underlying reason for \improvement in the overall production efficiency of the coal industry, as well as poor workplace safety records.''

However, the move also aroused mixed feelings from the country's major coal providers, such as ventures in North China's Shanxi Province.

Wang Xiaoli, general engineer of the Shanxi Provincial operational practices of various coal mining ventures, Vice-Minister of Land and Resources Ye Dongsong said Monday.

Without spelling out related schedules, Ye promised a national conference which will be attended by provincial mineral authorities from across the country. He said that those operators found guilty of offences in this regard will be subject to severe administrative or criminal punishments.

Zeng Shaojin, director of the Mineral Exploitation Department under the ministry, explained the ministry's moves are in preparation for the country's 18 planned large-scale mining industries, an intention which was outlined earlier by the State Development and Reform Commission. \rights for coal mining sites,'' he said. Zeng expects that approvals will come after the completion of the new programme. Through the investigation, the ministry also expects to readjust the current distribution of coal mining rights. For example, those found not having won the rights lawfully will be forced out of business. Zeng also admits the possibility that mining ventures can be stripped of those rights, if the firm does not comply with the new programmes.

Zhang Yong, an expert with the China Coal Industries Association, applauded the move, calling it a \by the central government to create a stronger coal industry. \is a positive response by the central government to our pleas for better order within the industry,'' he said. Although the work can only be done through the co-operation of various governmental departments, Zhang said that stricter control at the source by the Ministry of Land and Resources is essential. Coal mining received extra attention in China last year not only because of high-profile electricity shortages in many advanced areas such as East China's Zhejiang

Land and Resources Administration, said the ministry might have overlooked one important fact: Those non-public coal miners have already been contributing two-thirds of the province's annual coal output, which was 480 million tons last year.

On one side are bustling non-public miners which will soon have no resources to exploit, while on the other are large areas of minerals designated as reserved for State-owned coal mines, which cannot be developed in the near future in view of their present production capacity. \five years to see,'' he said.

U14 If you know exactly what you want, the best route to a job is to get specialized training. A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.

That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience.

But in the long run, too much specialization doesn't pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.

As further evidence of the erosion (销蚀) of corporate(公司的) faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices, although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. ―They want someone who isn’t constrained(限制)by nuts and bolts to look at the big picture, ‖says Scheetz.

This sounds suspiciously like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems, David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, ―I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,‖ says Birch. Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict program that includes literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer

course or two. With that under your belt, you can feel free to specialize, ―A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,‖ says Scheetz.

1. What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?

A) Students with a bachelor's degree in humanities. B) People with an MBA degree front top universities. C) People with formal schooling plus work experience. D) People with special training in engineering

2. By saying ―…but the impact of a degree washes out after five years‖ (Line 3, Para, 3), the author means ________.

A) most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation

B) an MBA degree does not help promotion to managerial positions

C) MBA programs will not be as popular in five years' time as they are now

D) in five people will forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got

3. According to Scheetz's statement (Lines 4-5. Para. 4), companies prefer ________. A) people who have a strategic mind B) people who are talented in fine arts

C) people who are ambitious and aggressive

D) people who have received training in mechanics 4. David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because ________.

A) they are more capable of handling changing situations B) they can stick to established ways of solving problems

C) they are thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields

D) they have attended special programs in management 5. Which of the following statements does the author support?

A) Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists.

B) Formal schooling is less important than job training. C) On-the-job training is, in the long run, less costly. D) Generalists will outdo specialists in management. Key: C B A A D

U15 FINE GAEL, Ireland's main opposition party, has a new leader. Having unceremoniously deposed John Bruton, a former prime minister, on January 31st, it quickly put in his place the man who had plotted his downfall, Michael Noonan. He is a skilled parliamentarian with wide ministerial experience, and a master of the quotable sound bite, not to say of the knife. But can he bring his party back to office?

Mr. Bruton had been ten years in the job, including 2 1/2 years at the head of a coalition government in the mid-1990s. He was a man of substance, but suffered, said party critics, from a \desire for power. But he inherits a demoralized party, unsure of its identity and role in Irish politics, and divided by the manner of his succession. He has not long to turn it round: a general election is due by June 2002, and the prime minister, Bertie Ahern, leader of Fianna Fail, may be tempted to call one sooner.

Part of Fine Gael's trouble has been an inability to distinguish itself from Fianna Fail. Fine Gael laid the foundations of the new Irish state in the 1920s. But Fianna Fail built it up and, having first taken office in 1932, has been in government for some 50 of the years since. Fine Gael has been out of office for most of the past 14 years. Both parties are essentially conservative and centrist, both rooted in the nationalist past. Their hostility goes back to the civil war that sprang up when nationalists split over the terms of the treaty that brought freedom from Britain. But the recent modernization of Irish society has made their similarities far bigger than their differences.

Both are catch-all parties, with support across all social classes, age groups and regions. Fianna Fail, however, is better at winning it. On social and moral issues, Fine Gael has usually shown itself readier for change than Fianna Fail, notably in such controversial areas as reform of the anti-contraception law and the legalization of divorce.

One or other party has served in every government since 1922. But never both together. That iron law of Irish politics, it seems, remains. Yet the political landscape is not what it was. After the 1989 election, Fianna Fail accepted coalition with minor parties as the price of power. Since then it has swung according to its partners: centre-right, centre-left and now, since 1997, right again with the Progressive Democrats. Fine Gael must link up with Labor if it wants power. No wonder Mr. Noonan's first step as leader was to make noises about social justice. 1. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by______. A. posing a contrast
