填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the only international organization）

解析：[听力原文]1-20 The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only international organization dealing with the global rules of trade between nations. It has more than 130 members, accounting for over 90% of world trade. Over 30 others are negotiating membership. Decisions are made by the entire membership. This is typically by consensus. A majority vote is also possible but it has never been used in the WTO, and was extremely rare under the WTO's predecessor, GATT. The WTO's agreements have been ratified in all members' parliaments. The WTO's top level decision-making body is the Ministerial Conference which meets at least once every two years. Below this is the General Council which meets several times a year in the Geneva headquarters. The General Council also meets as the Trade Policy Review Body and the Dispute Settlement Body. At the next level, the Goods Council, Services Council and Intellectual Property Council report to the General Council. Numerous specialized committees, working groups and working parties deal with the inpidual agreements and other areas such as the environment, development, membership applications and regional trade agreements. The WTO Secretariat, based in Geneva, has around 500 staff and is headed by a director- general. It does not have branch offices outside Geneva. Since decisions are taken by the members themselves, the Secretariat does not have the decision-making role that other international bureaucracies are given. The Secretariat's main duties are to supply technical support for the various councils and committees and the ministerial conferences, to provide technical assistance for developing countries, to analyze world trade, and to explain WTO affairs to the public and media. The Secretariat also provides some forms of legal assistance in the dispute settlement process and advises governments wishing to become members of the WTO. The annual budget is roughly 117 million Swiss francs.

解析：[听力原文]11-14 Man: I really enjoyed coming to your store, Linda. It was interesting seeing you at work. You're very professional. Woman: Thanks, Wang. I've been working here since I was sixteen, so I've learned a lot. Man: I just don't understand why you work. In China, children who are in school never work. Besides, your parents make plenty of money. Woman: Sure, Mom and Dad could give me everything I need, but they think it's good for me to learn some responsibility, how to plan a budget, and what I should pay for out of my salary. I've been working almost three years now. I'm getting much better at handling money. Man: Do you give your money to your parents, or do you pay rent and buy groceries? Woman: No, what I earn is mine. Mom and Dad pay for all the serious stuff. I pay for some of my clothes and school supplies, but mostly I pay for my entertainment. That way I can learn how to spend it wisely. Man: Do your parents give you advice on how to spend your money? Woman: Yeah, when I planned my budget, Dad said I should save about half of what I earn so that I can pay for some of my college. He says if I pay for it, I'll probably study harder and appreciate it more. And I am saving money for college. I have a scholarship for

my tuition, but buy my own textbooks and pay for some of the extras like skiing class. Man: But doesn't working interfere with your studies? Woman: I had a little trouble at first because I was used to having a lot of free time, but I learned to be organized. I do a lot of studying at school between classes, and I get up really early. I've learned to fit everything in. In fact, I've been getting better grades since I started working. Man: You've almost convinced me, and this seems to go along with your general philosophy of independence. 11: How long has Linda held the part-time job?

B.(B) It is the pattern of work and work-related activities throughout a lifetime. √

C.(C) It is a job you do during a certain period of time.

D.(D) It is a job you do in your spare time.

解析：[听力原文]15-18 Many people use the term career to mean the job, occupation, or vocation a person has. However, a career involves much more than a job, an occupation, or a vocation. A career is the pattern of work and work-related activities that develops throughout a lifetime. It includes the job or series of jobs a person has until retirement. There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a person's life. Almost every adult has a career of some kind. Most people build a career to help them satisfy certain goals. Such goals might include earning a living or helping others. The best-known career pattern develops around work for pay. Most workers in such a career hold a job to support themselves and their family. However, some people build a career around activities for which they receive no money. For example, many people work to create a comfortable home life for their family. Others spend much of their time on charitable projects. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways. For example, it can determine where you live and the friends you make. It can reflect how much education you have and can determine the amount of money you earn. Your career can also affect the way you feel about yourself and the way other people act toward you. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. 15: According to the passage, what is the definition of career?

A.(A) To meet the needs of the society.

B.(B) To satisfy a person's interest.

C.(C) To satisfy certain goals. √

D.(D) To support the family.

解析：[听力原文] What is the main purpose of a career?

A.(A) Fiber, wheat germ and water.

B.(B) Iron, flour and yeast.

C.(C) Yeast, flour and fiber.

D.(D) Flour, water and yeast. √

解析：[听力原文]19-22 Man: And now with today's consumer report, here's Consumer Affairs Editor Alice Dunn to tell us about the nutritional value of bread. Woman: Thank you, Chris. You know, today—with so many Americans counting calories and wanting to eat more natural foods—there are many new kinds of bread on supermarket shelves, high fiber bread, wheat germ bread, low calorie bread, to name only a few. Well, despite the variety, the principal ingredients of bread have remained the same. flour, water, and yeast. There may be a few other things added as food for the yeast to help it develop or as agents to assist the baking process, but these additives appear in minute quantities and have little effect on calories or nutrition. Man: Well, what about the differences between white bread and whole grain bread, Alice? Is whole grain bread really superior nutritionally? Woman: Both have their advantages, Chris. Whole grain bread does have more fibers of course, and the bulk which the fiber provides can be useful in digestion. White bread has a finer texture. The reason that so many people feel white bread is nutritionally lacking is the bleaching process. Bleaching, which gives bread its distinctive white color, does remove many nutrients. But what many people are unaware of is that these nutrients are added back into the bread after the bleaching process. And this re-adding process has a distinct advantage for some people. One nutrient that is re-added, iron, is unbounded in white bread whereas the iron which is retained in its natural state in whole grain bread is bonded to other chemical constituents. Studies have shown that some people have difficulty absorbing the bonded iron but can readily absorb the unbounded iron in bleached white bread. Probably the soundest advice for most people is to eat some of both types of bread. And now here's a story which makes the good old days seem that much further in the past. Do you still remember the nickel candy bar that you used to buy on the way home from school when you were a child? Well, after successive increases to 10, 15, and 20 cents, the old nickel candy bar is now going to cost you a quarter. Candy manufacturers report that the bars will be larger. But, whereas the price is increasing 25%, the average weight increase for a bar is only 14%. Man：Thank you, Alice. We'll have more news after we return from a commercial break. 19: According to the report, what are the three main ingredients found in bread?

A.(A) In some cases it is more readily absorbed by the body. √

B.(B) It assists in the baking process.

C.(C) It is less expensive than bonded iron.

D.(D) It is bonded to chemical constituents.

解析：[听力原文] What advantage does unbounded iron offer?

A.(A) White bread contains no iron.

B.(B) Bread made without yeast has a fine texture.

C.(C) White bread provides far less nutrition.

D.(D) The principal ingredients of different breads are the same. √

解析：[听力原文] Which of the following statements about bread is true?

A.(A) Yeast.

B.(B) Artificial coloring agents.

C.(C) Bleaching. √

D.(D) Iron.

A.(A) The demand for unskilled workers. √

B.(B) The demand for professional jobs.

C.(C) The demand for technical workers.

D.(D) The demand for administrative people.

解析：[听力原文]23-26 Vocational education is the education for a particular occupation. Industrialized countries have seen a fall in demand for unskilled workers and an increase in jobs in the professional, technical, commercial, and administrative sector. Vocational education is traditionally associated with trades and crafts: young people were apprenticed to employers for a number of years and learned on the job. Today the focus has shifted from the workplace to secondary and higher education institutions, and from employers to government provision and finance. Trainees in most occupations combine workplace training with study at a technical or academic institution. In the former Soviet Union, school and work were always strongly linked from primary school. Germany provides nine out of ten young people not entering higher education with vocational training, and training is planned from national down to local level through tripartite committees of government representatives, employers, and trade unions. In some countries, skills are being grouped and "job families" created so that inpiduals can move between jobs with similar technical requirements. In others "competency-based education" is advocated to equip inpiduals with "transferable" as well as specific skills. In developing countries, where it is traditional for children to work from an early age, only a tiny proportion of students follow a formal vocational program, while the long specialist training of professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers is a costly burden. Training places for technicians, nurses, teachers, and other essential workers are often limited. Worldwide, there is a slow but steady increase in the numbers of women training for occupations of influence in science, technology, law, and business. It is also becoming clear that one course of vocational education is not enough for a lifetime. Retraining through continuing education is essential. 23. What is decreasing in industrialized countries?

A.(A) Vocational education is more associated with trades and crafts.

B.(B) Young people are trained by employers on the job.

C.(C) Vocational education is carried out in education institutions. √

D.(D) The government is not responsible for vocational education.

解析：[听力原文] What is the major change in vocational education?

A.(A) In the former Soviet Union, even primary schools offered some vocational education. √

B.(B) In Germany, 90% of the young people receive vocational education.

C.(C) In some countries, skills are grouped to prevent inpiduals from moving between jobs.

D.(D) In some countries, inpiduals are trained to do any special jobs.

解析：[听力原文] According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A.(A) Children begin to work from an earlier age than before.

B.(B) Many students follow a formal vocational program.

C.(C) It is not so expensive to train professionals.

D.(D) There are not enough training places for workers. √

A.(A) Justify the claims they make. √

B.(B) Appear in court.

C.(C) Get away with their products.

D.(D) Always be honest in the ads.

解析：[听力原文]27-30 Woman: Isn't advertising really a kind of lying? Man: I don't think so. Quite often people do try to get away with those types of things, but the Federal Trade Commission is always very quick to jump on them to force them to show evidence to back up the claims. Woman: I mean in your work. I mean, don't you actually tell lies to get people buy things? Let me give you an example. You know, a movie star says that she uses—a starlet—says that she uses a certain kind of soap every night to make her skin look beautiful and, of course, she doesn't use it at all, or hardly ever. Man: I think if you go back very recently, just within the last year, you'll remember that one of our famous singers and actors and was uh… called down for just that very thing, where he endorsed a product which he didn't use and had to take back what he said in his endorsements. Woman: I see, so what you're saying is that you're freed to be honest in the profession. Man: In some cases that may be true. I won't deny that. Woman: Well, you've been in the ad business for nearly 15 years. What kind of work do you find most interesting? Man: I would say, developing new markets, or not so much new markets, but when you have a product which previously people didn't perceive that they needed, but it is an advancement or an improvement over what people previously used, and are able to educate people and inform them of a particular thing, and they discover it will make their life better and it is something that they could use. Woman: To try to make them understand what's going on with a new product? Man: Basically, that's it. This is where a lot of the progress or the amenities in life which we take for granted now… this is how they originally developed. Somebody thought of a new idea and convinced people that it was something they needed and after a period or time, it became what they considered a necessity. In other words, the advertising as a promotion will make people aware of a product, but… the product’s own worth will determine whether or not it's something that people will bring into their daily lives. Woman: And… I suppose that if it endures over a long period of time that shows that the product really does have a stable value and that you're not lying. Man: Well, I think that's a fair assumption… I won't try to tell you that in promoting things, people never lie, but the initial promotion simply gets people to try a product for the first time. And then if the product itself has any merit, then people will continue to use it. So, the quality of a product

will determine whether it has any staying power. 27. What does the Federal Trade Commission force advertisers to do?

A.(A) Because she also uses the soap for better skin.

B.(B) Because she admires the movie star.

C.(C) Because she considers it a good example of certain ads. √

D.(D) Because she thinks that it is a good idea to have a movie star endorse a product.

解析：[听力原文] Why does the woman mention the movie star?

A.(A) Developing new advertisements for old products.

B.(B) Educating people about new products. √

C.(C) Designing useful products for people in need.

D.(D) Making a profit in the marketplace.

The journalism bug bit me at a young age and I chased my dream in high school and college. Guess it was the Mary Tyler Moore and Lou Grant shows that inspired me.

Unfortunately, that was TV; this was reality. I worked in TV and at newspapers. Movies and television often make these out to be glamorous jobs, but let me assure you nothing could be further from the truth. For the rookie, it's often very long hours (50—70 per week not uncommon) and the pay is just a crime. Many in management don't believe in paying overtime, even when it's due. I had to file complaints against one employer (the owner of a small newspaper chain) and my last employer at the Labor Department. They were burning people out like there was no tomorrow. We should've installed revolving doors.

Working in the press (TV or newsprint) can often be VERY stressful. There is ALWAYS a push on to get the information out (in its complete form) first and to get it out completely accurately. TV stations succeed greatly at the former, but quite often blow it on the latter. And you rarely hear a TV reporter or anchor man apologize or admit a mistake. Newspapers do it every day, and some feel that blows their credibility, but it should do the opposite.

With about 20 years in the field and four years at my last job as editor in chief, I was released for political reasons. My publishers were high-ranking members of a political party. They were drinking buddies with the governor and many US senators. Despite their efforts to "draft" me, I refused to sign the dotted line on application forms (for the party) and was fired. The day after election day, I was told I was being released because I did not live in the community. Only two people of the 25—30 working there lived in the community.

My greatest sense of accomplishment in this business has come from enlightening the public, making them aware of politicians and government officials breaking laws or just outright lying. You would not believe all the mess I have seen. Some of my stories and editorials have earned me awards and a number of them have sparked investigations by the state police and FBI. All in a day's work.

Yes, it's an ego thing at first, but that quickly wears off. It's a VERY cut-throat business. I began to see that in college and grade school. Working in a news room you have to get over the personalities, the egos and try to work around management's pet peeves. We've had to spike (kill, censor) stories in TV and at papers because some stupid advertiser would be upset. Usually a friend of a friend, or a friend of an advertiser. It's SUCH a joke.

I now wish I had not changed my major from computer science to journalism. Ouch! I would be making more money and living an easier life.

My dream is to own a newspaper—probably a niche publication or a trade journal, somewhere in North Carolina or Colorado. Wish me luck.

Up-Minneapolis, MN—A father was recently arrested by the police for spanking his child, starting a debate among the American public about spanking. Is spanking, or other types of corporal punishment, an acceptable form of discipline for children? Or is it a form of child abuse? The case that everyone has talking is the arrest of Dale Clover, a thirty-six-year-old father of three, at a shopping mall in St. Louis, Missouri. He was arrested after an employee at the mall saw him spanking his five-year-old son, Donny, and called the police. The father was arrested for child abuse. Mr. Clover admits that he hit his son but says that it wasn't child abuse. He says it was discipline.

Across the country, parents disagree on this issue: What is the difference between loving discipline and child abuse? Some parents like Rhonda Moore see a clear difference between spanking and child abuse. Rhonda Moore believes a little bit of pain is necessary to teach a child what is right and wrong. "It's like burning your hand when you touch a hot stove. Pain is nature's way of teaching us." Moore believes that spanking is done out of love, but child abuse is done out of anger, when the parent loses control. "When I spank my children, I always talk to them before and afterward, and explain why they are being spanked. I explain what they did wrong, and they remember not to do it again." Moore says that her children respect her as a parent and understand that she is spanking them for their own good.

In contrast, Taylor Robinson, father of four, feels that parents should never hit their children for any reason. Robinson wants his children to learn right and wrong, but not because they are afraid of being hit. "Spanking teaches children to fear their parents, not respect them. When a parent spanks a child, what the child learns is that problems should be solved with violence." Robinson believes that children learn that it is acceptable for parents to hurt their children. "None of these are lessons that I want to teach my children. I want my children to learn to talk about their problems and solve them without violence, but spanking doesn't teach that."

Parents are split about corporal punishment, and doctors also disagree about the issue. Dr. John Oparah thinks our child abuse laws sometimes go too far; that is, they make it difficult for parents to discipline their children. Oparah says that today many children do not respect their parents. "Children need strong, loving discipline. Sometimes spanking is the best way to get a child's attention, to make sure the child listens to the parent."

Most doctors, however, say that there are many harmful effects of spanking. Dr. Beverly Lau is opposed to spanking. Lau argues that spanking can lead to more violent behavior in children. She points to research shows that children who are spanked are more violent when they grow up. "A child

may stop misbehaving for the moment, but over time, children who are spanked actually misbehave more than children who are not spanked." Lau adds that research shows that, if you want a peaceful family, parents should not spank their children.

The issue of spanking and corporal punishment will continue to be debated among parents and in the courts. In the meantime, if he is convicted of child abuse, Dale Clover could get up to five years in prison.

Doctors alone must make the final decision whether to withdraw treatment, including artificial feeding, and allow a terminally ill patient to die, according to British Medical Association guidelines published yesterday. They must consult the family, take into account views of the patient and get a second medical opinion. But ultimately the responsibility rests with the doctor, and if the family disagrees it can only challenge his or her decision in the courts.

Members of the BMA’s ethics committee, which produced the guidelines,

said they were not a charter for euthanasia.

"This is not about intending to kill people. It is about intending to withdraw what people believe to be useless or non-beneficial interventions," said Raanan Gillon, a GP and professor of medical ethics at Imperial College, London. "It is the difference between foreseeing death as the outcome and intending it."

Opponents of euthanasia rejected this distinction. "I am deeply concerned that some doctors might interpret the guidelines to increase the number of unnatural deaths," said Dr Andrew Fergusson, chairman of the pressure group Healthcare Opposed to Euthanasia.

"I recognize these are very difficult matters, but I am anxious about even more power being given to doctors in the apparent absence of adequate safeguards. This guidance will be bad for some patients."

The BMA has produced the guidelines because of confusion and uncertainly among doctors over how to proceed when treatment is doing more harm than good—perhaps in the case of unsuccessful chemotherapy for cancer—or when a patient is incapacitated after a severe stroke or advanced dementia.

The House of Lords judgment in the 1993 Bland case has muddied the waters. Tony Bland was in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) after the Hillsborough disaster. The courts backed the BMA view that the artificial feeding and hydration through a tube that were keeping him alive were medical treatments.

His father won permission to have all treatments stopped and his son was allowed to die. But the Lords stated that their ruling applied only to patients in PVS and suggested each case should be referred in turn to the courts.

The BMA guidelines make clear that they feel there is no such need in cases other than PVS. These are hard decisions, but doctors are well qualified to make them. If the decision involves stopping artificial nutrition and hydration, which the document accepts is an emotive issue, then a second opinion from a specialist unconnected with the case must be sought. The doctor must try to ascertain the patient's own wishes. The views of children under 16 who are capable of understanding must be respected and their parents' views sought. Living wills requesting no further treatment must be complied with.

With patients who cannot communicate, doctors must consider among other things whether the invasiveness and pain of treatment are justifiable, how likely is any improvement and how aware patients are of the world around them.

The document accuses society of "unrealistic expectations.., about the extent to which it is possible to postpone death."

But SOS-NHS Patients in Danger, a pressure group formed by relatives of patients who have died in hospital, rejected the guidelines outright.

It said: "A terminally iii patient, with weeks, months and (who knows) even years to live would not benefit from having their death hastened for the convenience of medical staff and managers when they and their family might have other plans for how they wish to spend their precious remaining time together."

A.(A) the guidelines have provided sufficient safeguards to prevent irresponsible doctors from harming their patients

C.(C) the guidelines should only be followed in cases where the patients who are terminally ill feel that staying alive is useless

D.(D) the guidelines will be giving doctors too free a hand in deciding when food and water should not be given to patients √

解析：

(3).Why is it said in the passage that the House of Lords judgment in the 1993 Bland case muddied the waters?（分数：2.00）

A.(A) Because the 13MA guidelines state that the final decision rests with the doctor without his having to ask another doctor for a second opinion.

B.(B) Because the judgment did not state what should be done in the case of cancer victims who undergo unsuccessful chemotherapy.

C.(C) Because BMA guidelines do not require doctors to seek the approval of the court when they decide to stop artificial nutrition and hydration.

D.(D) Because the judgment requires doctors to seek court approval before withdrawing artificial nutrition and hydration from medical patients with no prospect of recovery. √

解析：

(4).Before making the final decision whether to withdraw treatment, the doctor, according to the guidelines,______.（分数：2.00）

The number of women directors appointed to corporate boards in the United States has increased dramatically, but the ratio of female to male

directors remains low. Although pressure to recruit women directors, unlike that to employ women in the general work force, does not derive from legislation, it is nevertheless real.

Although small companies were the first to have women directors, large corporations currently have a higher percentage of women on their boards. When the chairs of these large corporations began recruiting women to serve on boards, they initially sought women who were chief executive officers (CEOs) of large corporations. However, such women CEOs are still rare. In addition, the ideal of six CEOs (female or male) serving on the board of each of the largest corporations is realizable only if every CEO serves on six boards. This raises the specter of director over commitment and the resultant dilution of contribution. Consequently, the chairs next sought women in business- who had the equivalent of CEO experience. However, since it is only recently that large numbers of women have begun to rise in management, the chairs began to recruit women of high achievement outside the business world. Many such women are well known for their contributions in government, education, and the nonprofit sector. The fact that the women from these sectors who were appointed were often acquaintances of the boards' chairs seems quite reasonable: chairs have always considered it important for directors to interact comfortably in the boardroom.

Although many successful women from outside the business world are unknown to corporate leaders, these women are particularly qualified to serve on boards because of the changing nature of corporations. Today a company's ability to be responsive to the concerns of the community and the environment can influence that company's growth and survival. Women are uniquely positioned to be responsive to some of these concerns. Although conditions have changed, it should be remembered that most directors of both sexes are over fifty years old. Women of that generation were often encouraged to direct their attention toward efforts to improve the community. This fact is reflected in the career development of most of the outstandingly successful women of the generation now in their fifties, who currently serve on corporate boards: 25 percent are in education and 22 percent are in government, law, and the nonprofit sector. One organization of women directors is helping business become more responsive to the changing needs of society by raising the level of corporate awareness about social issues, such as problems with the economy, government regulation, the aging population and the environment. This organization also serves as a resource center of information on accomplished women who are potential candidates for corporate boards. （分数：10.00）

Research into self-awareness consistently shows that most people think and speak highly of themselves. Time and again, subjects see positive traits as more self-descriptive than negative ones, they rate themselves more highly than they rate others, they rate themselves more highly than they are rated by others, they overestimate their contribution to team efforts, and they exaggerate their control over life events. It's not that we consciously flatter ourselves, either. The response is more like a mindless reflex. In fact, when subjects are busy or distracted as they make self-ratings, the judgments they come up with are quicker and even more favorable.

Most people also exhibit "unrealistic optimism", a tendency to predict a uniquely bright and rosy future for themselves. College students asked to predict their own future compared to that of their classmates believed,

on average, that they were more likely to graduate higher in their class, get a better job, earn a higher salary, have a happier marriage, and bear a gifted child. They also believed that they were less likely to get fired, become depressed, become involved in a car accident, or suffer from a heart attack. Many other examples illustrate this point—as when voters predict that their favored candidate will prevail and sports fans bet on their favorite teams to win.

Psychologists used to agree that an accurate perception of reality is vital to mental health. More and more, however, this view is being challenged by research on positive illusions. Are these illusions a sign of well-being or symptoms of disorder?

In 1988 two psychologists reviewed the relevant research and noticed that people who are mildly depressed or low in self-esteem have less inflated and sometimes more realistic views of themselves than do others who are better adjusted. Their self-appraisals are more likely to match appraisals of them made by neutral others, they are less likely to exaggerate their control over uncontrollable events, and they make more balanced predictions about the future. Based on these results, psychologists arrived at the provocative conclusion that when it comes to the self, positive illusions—not accurate perceptions of reality—promote health and well-being. In their words, "these illusions help make each inpidual's world a warmer and more active and beneficent place in which to live." In fact, research involving people under stress—such as people with serious illnesses—shows that perceived control, optimism, and other positive beliefs are "health protective" psychological resources that help people cope with adversity.

Others are not so sure that eternal optimists are better off than hard realists. They argue that positive illusions can give rise to chronic patterns of self-destruction—as when people escape from self-awareness through the use of drugs and deny health-related problems until it s too late for treatment. In studies of interpersonal relations, people with inflated rather than realistic views of themselves were rated less favorably on certain dimensions by their own friends. In these studies, self-enhancing men were seen as assertive and ambitious, which are OK, but also as boastful, condescending, hostile, and inconsiderate.

Self-enhancing women were seen as more hostile, more defensive and sensitive to criticism, more likely to overreact to minor setbacks, and less well liked by others. Consistent with these findings, other research shows that people filled with high self-esteem are more likely to lash out angrily in response to criticism, rejection, and other bruises to the ego. The result. People with inflated self-images may make a good first impression on others but they are liked less and less as time wears on. （分数：10.00）
