4.Passage 4 The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying:“Won't the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anti-competitive 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 account for afast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 thesame that underlie 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, to consumers. As productivity grows, the world's wealth increases.Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. 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, such as World Com, 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? Won't multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements 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?第63题：What is the typical trend of businesses today?A to take in more foreign fundsB to invest more abroadC to combine and become biggerD to trade with more countries

     本题考查了事实细节。解此类题的关键是根据题干定位到原文。Land-grant College一词出现在第二段第二句话：国家赠予土地的学校的建立为那些来自非盎格鲁·萨克逊血统、工人阶级和中下层背景的贫穷但有抱负的男孩们敞开了享受高等教育的大门。由此可知，［B］项为正确答案。作者提到为穷人提供了更多的机会，却并没有将上层人士排除在外，也未曾说明只有穷人才能从中获益。因此［C］项和［D］项错误。［A］项中土地所有者阶级是由land-grant colleges一词字面意思得来，文中没有依据。

  • 第5题：

    材料：

    The benefit to commerce of allowing stevedores and terminal operators to completely limit their liability is often put forward by supporters on their part．Such reasoning，however，ignores the fact that in the commercial world it is preferable for persons who cause damage to cargo to be held responsible for that damage．Otherwise they will continue to be negligent and will do nothing to alter their practices．

    Transferring the loss to the underwriters of cargo from the underwriters of the stevedores does not merely shift the cost of insurance．If the stevedores and terminal operators who have the care and charge of cargo do not act carefully when carrying out their duties，then responsibility for loss and damage to cargo will not only be shifted but that loss and damage will be increased as well．Nor are all cargoes or risks fully or even partially insured.

    Therefore，the premium of cargo insurance is so high that it has been estimated that not much more than fifty percent of shipments by sea on the North Atlantic are actually insured at all． It is a fundamental principle of GOOD business practice and of efficient，fair and low-cost insurance that persons who are responsible for losses should be held accountable，in some way，for those losses．

    问题：

    According to the passage，limiting the liability on the part of the stevedores will ________．

    A.transfer the loss suffered by underwriters of cargo to the underwriters of stevedores

    B.transfer the loss suffered by underwriters of stevedores to the underwriters of cargo

    C.not transfer any liability in practice of shipping

    D.increase the liability on their part

    The author of this passage is a supporter on the side that ________．A.the liability on the part of the stevedores and terminal operators should be completely limited

    B.transferring the loss to the underwriters of cargo from the underwriters of the stevedores is impossible in shipping practice

    C.transferring the insurance cost to the underwriters of cargo from the underwriters of the stevedores is necessary in the eyes of shipping laws

    D.persons who are responsible for losses should be held accountable，in some way，for those losses

    If the persons who are responsible for losses and damages are not held accountable，in some way，for those losses and damages，that losses and damages will ________．A.be increased

    B.be decreased

    C.be prevented

    D.not happened

    In the author's opinion，the insured cargo accounting to fifty percent of total shipments by sea on the North Atlantic is ________．A.reasonably practicable

    第一篇

    Is Global Warming Good for Farming?

    You might think a little global warming is good for farming. Longer,warmer growing seasons
    and more carbon dioxide(CO2）一what plant wouldn't love that?The agricultural industry basically agrees on that. But global warming's effects on agriculture would actually be quite complicated一and mostly not for the better.
    It's true that some crops will prosper on a warmer planet,but the key word there is"some."According to a government report,higher CO2 levels and longer growing seasons will increase yields for fruit growers in the Great Lakes region.But many major American crops already use CO2 so efficiently that more of it probably won't make much difference to them.
    What will make a difference are all the other things we'll have more or as temperatures rise一namely droughts（干旱）,bugs and big storms. More droughts mean lower crop yields. Melting snow in the Western US will increase water availability in spring but decrease it in summer,forcing farmers to change cropping practices.As insects that eat crops adapt their migration patterns to our warmer climate,farmers will have to either use more insecticide or plant hardier crops.
    Farmers on both coasts are already starting to reap some of what the nation's fossil-fuel addiction has sown.Crops in those regions require a certain number of colder days or"winter chill"before they break dormancy（冬眠）and begin flowering. Too few cold days breaks the plants' flowering schedule which in turn affects pollination（授粉）and hurts yield.
    So,given how much is at stake for them,how are farm states working to shape climate legislation?In response to agricultural demands,the Waxman-Markey bill frees the agricultural industry from CO2 emission limits and gives up control over what activities guarantee carbon offset credit to the Agricultural Department.
    Some farmers一and some farm state congressional leaders一have argued that because plants convert CO2 into oxygen,agricultural lands store more CO2 than they emit. This is only theoretically true.What we can say with certainty is that,like most big industries,farming is fossil-fuel intensive一large quantities of CO2 are emitted from farm equipment such as irrigation pumps and tractors.

    Under the influence of global warming the yields of American crops will_______.
    A:be greatly enhanced
    B:be certainly reduced
    C:still remain stable
    D:be hard to predict

    答案：D
    解析：
    本题是细节考查题。题干是：在全球变暖的影响下，美国粮食产量会如何？选D的依据是第一段最后一句：" But global warming's effects on a幼culture would actually be quite complicated一and mostly not for the better.”但是，全球变暖对农业的影响实际上是相当复杂的―并且大多数的影响都不会促进农业生产。选项D是说在全球变暖的影响下，美国粮食产量会很难预测，与原文意思一致。
    本题是细节考查题。题干是：第三段最后一行的“hardier crops”指的是何种作物？选B的依据是第三段最后一句：" As insects that eat crops adapt their migration patterns to our warmer climate , farmers will have to either use more insecticide or plant hardier crops.”由于吃农作物的昆虫会改变其迁徒模式以适应变暖的气候，农民将不得不使用更多的杀虫剂或种植抗虫害能力更强的农作物。选项B的意思是对虫子有抵抗力的作物，与原文意思相符。
    本题是细节考查题。题干是：美国东西两岸过度使用化石燃料的结果是什么？选A的依据是第四段最后一句：" Too few cold days breaks the plants' flowering schedule which in turn affects pollination（授粉）and hurts yield.”寒冷的日子太少会打乱这些作物的开花周期，进而影响作物的授粉和产量。选项A的意思由于冬季寒冷时间的缩短，作物的产量降低了，与原文意思相符。
    本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据《瓦克斯曼?马基法案》，农业产业怎样？选B的依据是第五段的第二句：" In response to a护cultural demands , the Waxman-Markey bill frees the a护cultural industry from CO2 emission limits and gives up control over what activities guarantee carbon offset credit to the A幼cultural Department.”在应对农业需求方面，《瓦克斯曼·马基法案》使农业不受二氧化碳减排计划的约束，并且将如何才能保证有效的碳补偿的控制权交给了农业部。选项D的意思是根据《瓦克斯曼·马基法案》，农业产业可以产出多少二氧化碳量就排放多少，与原文相符。
    本题是细节考查题。题干是：作者最有可能认同的有关农业产业的说法是哪个？选D的依据是最后一段最后一句：" What we can say with certainty is that , like most big industries,farming is fossil-fuel intensive一large quantities of CO2 are emitted from farm equipment such as irrigation pumps and tractors.”但我们能确定地说的是，与大多数大型产业一样，农业也是化石燃料密集型产业―灌溉水泵、拖拉机等农业设备往往会排放出大量的二氧化碳。选项D的意思是农业产业消耗很多化石燃料，与原文相符。后一句的wouldn't be surprise…均表明，与20世纪70年代的情况不同，现在实行4天工作制的可能性非常大。选项C的意思是4天工作制很有可能普及，与原文相符。

    问答题
    Practice 2　　We must work passionately and indefatigably to bridge the gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress. One of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually.　　Every man lives in two realms, the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms and instrumentalities by means of which we live. Our problem today is that we have allowed the internal to become lost in the external. We have allowed the means by which we live to outdistance the ends for which we live. So much of modern life can be summarized in that suggestive phrase of Thoreau: “Improved means to an unimproved end. “ This is the serious predicament, the deep and haunting problem, confronting modern man. Enlarged material powers spell enlarged peril if there is not proportionate growth of the soul. When the external of man’s nature subjugates the internal, dark storm clouds begin to form. (Martin Luther King: Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?)

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    我们必须热情不倦地努力,以拉近科学发展和道德进步之间的巨大差距。苦于心灵的贫瘠,是我们人类的一大问题,这与科技的丰足形成了触目惊心的对照。我们在物质上愈是富足,我们在道德和精神上就愈是贫乏。
    人人都活在内在与外在这两大领域之中。内在领域即精神领域,以艺术、文学、道德、宗教的方式来呈现。外在领域由我们赖以生存的设备、工艺、机械和工具所组成。我们当今的问题在于,我们听任内在领域迷失在外在领域之中,听任生存的手段远远超前于生存的目的。现代生活在诸多方面都可引用梭罗那句启发性的警言来作结论:“改善了方法,却未能改善目标。”这就是现代人所遭遇到的一个重大困境,一个严重问题。如果心灵没有跟着一起成长,那么物质力量愈大,所招致的危险也就越大。一旦人性中的外在力量胜过了内在力量,乌云暴雨便会开始形成。

  • 第15题：

    根据下列材料，请回答 36～40 题：

    If the trade unionist Jimmy Hoffa were alive today, he would probably represent civil servant. When Hoffa’s Teamsters were in their prime in 1960, only one in ten American government workers belonged to a union; now 36% do. In 2009 the number of unionists in America’s public sector passed that of their fellow members in the private sector. In Britain, more than half of public-sector workers but only about 15% of private-sector ones are unionized.

    There are three reasons for the public-sector unions’ thriving. First, they can shut things down without suffering much in the way of consequences. Second, they are mostly bright and well-educated. A quarter of America’s public-sector workers have a university degree. Third, they now dominate left-of-centre politics. Some of their ties go back a long way. Britain’s Labor Party, as its name implies, has long been associated with trade unionism. Its current leader, Ed Miliband, owes his position to votes from public-sector unions.

    At the state level their influence can be even more fearsome. Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy Institute of California points out that much of the state’s budget is patrolled by unions. The teachers’ unions keep an eye on schools, the CCPOA on prisons and a variety of labor groups on health care.

    In many rich countries average wages in the state sector are higher than in the private one. But the real gains come in benefits and work practices. Politicians have repeatedly “backloaded” public-sector pay deals, keeping the pay increases modest but adding to holidays and especially pensions that are already generous.

    Reform. has been vigorously opposed, perhaps most egregiously in education, where charter schools, academies and merit pay all faced drawn-out battles. Even though there is plenty of evidence that the quality of the teachers is the most important variable, teachers’ unions have fought against getting rid of bad ones and promoting good ones.

    As the cost to everyone else has become clearer, politicians have begun to clamp down. In Wisconsin the unions have rallied thousands of supporters against Scott Walker, the hardline Republican governor. But many within the public sector suffer under the current system, too.

    John Donahue at Harvard’s Kennedy School points out that the norms of culture in Western civil services suit those who want to stay put but is bad for high achievers. The only American public-sector workers who earn well above $250,000 a year are university sports coaches and the president of the United States. Bankers’ fat pay packets have attracted much criticism, but a public-sector system that does not reward high achievers may be a much bigger problem for America.

    第 36 题 It can be learned from the first paragraph that

    [A] Teamsters still have a large body of members.

    [B] Jimmy Hoffa used to work as a civil servant.

    [C] unions have enlarged their public-sector membership.

    [D]the government has improved its relationship with unionists.

  • 第18题：

    Text 4 If the trade unionist Jimmy Hoffa were alive today,he would probably represent civil servant.When Hoffa’s Teamsters were in their prime in 1960,only one in ten American government workers belonged to a union;now 36%do.In 2009 the number of unionists in America’s public sector passed that of their fellow members in the private sector.In Britain,more than half of public-sector workers but only about 15%of private-sector ones are unionized.There are three reasons for the public-sector unions’thriving.First,they can shut things down without suffering much in the way of consequences.Second,they are mostly bright and well-educated.A quarter of America’s public-sector workers have a university degree.Third,they now dominate left-of-centre politics.Some of their ties go back a long way.Britain’s Labor Party,as its name implies,has long been associated with trade unionism.Its current leader,Ed Miliband,owes his position to votes from public-sector unions.At the state level their influence can be even more fearsome.Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy Institute of California points out that much of the state’s budget is patrolled by unions.The teachers’unions keep an eye on schools,the CCPOA on prisons and a variety of labor groups on health care.In many rich countries average wages in the state sector are higher than in the private one.But the real gains come in benefits and work practices.Politicians have repeatedly“backloaded”public-sector pay deals,keeping the pay increases modest but adding to holidays and especially pensions that are already generous.Reform has been vigorously opposed,perhaps most egregiously in education,where charter schools,academies and merit pay all faced drawn-out battles.Even though there is plenty of evidence that the quality of the teachers is the most important variable,teachers’unions have fought against getting rid of bad ones and promoting good ones.As the cost to everyone else has become clearer,politicians have begun to clamp down.In Wisconsin the unions have rallied thousands of supporters against Scott Walker,the hardline Republican governor.But many within the public sector suffer under the current system,too.John Donahue at Harvard’s Kennedy School points out that the norms of culture in Western civil services suit those who want to stay put but is bad for high achievers.The only American public-sector workers who earn well above$250,000 a year are university sports coaches and the president of the United States.Bankers’fat pay packets have attracted much criticism,but a public-sector system that does not reward high achievers may be a much bigger problem for America.36.It can be learned from the first paragraph that

    A.Teamsters still have a large body of members.
    B.Jimmy Hoffa used to work as a civil servant.
    C.unions have enlarged their public-sector membership.
    D.the government has improved its relationship with unionists.

    答案：C
    解析：
    根据题干定位于第一段“When…were in their prime in 1960,only one in ten American government workers belonged to a union;now 36%do”。这句话意思是1960年时，美国政府部门只有1/10的人是工会成员，但是现在比例是36%。所以C项正确。A项中Teamster仍然拥有很多成员。文中只提到了比例，并没有讲具体人数；B项中吉米过去是一个公务员。而文中第一句是一个虚拟语气的句子，“如果他还活着的话，

    The discovery of the strange stone in the deserted valley has spurred series of scientific research.

    A:encouraged
    B:endangered
    C:endorsed
    D:enlarged

    答案：A
    解析：
    本句意思：在那个荒凉的山谷中发现的奇异石头激发了一系列的科学研究。encourage的 意思为“激励，鼓励”;endanger的意思为“使……处于险境”;endorse的意思为“赞同，签名”;en- larg。的意思为“使增大”。spur的意思为“激励，促进”，和encourage的意思接近。

    2._________
    A:increased
    B:enormous
    C:extended
    D:enlarged

    答案：D
    解析：
    根据句意，西夫拉克伯爵使公园里的观众都感到高兴，能表示“使……高兴” 意思的只有A项和D项。而D选项overjoy意思为“使……过度兴奋，狂喜”，感情色彩过于强烈，这里应填delight“使”……喜悦”。
    一开始发明的自行车应该是个儿童玩具的扩大版，increased“增加的”,enor-mous“巨大的”,extended“延伸的”均不合题意，所以应选D项enlarged。
    此处有三个选项都可以与in搭配，in use“在使用中”,in operation“生效，运行中”,in service“服务中”，只有in use填入此空符合逻辑，故选择A。
    最早的自行车是用木头支架做成马的形状，弄懂意思后答案一目了然，resemblance“相似，相似物”,appearance“外貌，外观”,body“身体，主体”，均不符合句意。
    此处意思为“用脚使劲蹬地”，故选hard。 heavily“沉重地，猛烈地”,fast“快速地”,deeply“深刻地”均不符合句意。
    四个选项都跟“地”有点关系，surface“表面”,ground“地面，土地”,earth“泥土，陆地”,floor“地板，地面”，比较之后，只有ground比较合适，所以答案为B项。
    appeal to意思为“吸引”,attract本身就是及物动词“吸引”，后不需要加介词to, take to意为“开始喜欢，开始从事”，所以答案为B项。
    hold races在这里是“举行赛跑”的意思，其他选项不合题意。
    此处作者想表达的意思是：人们在最后冲刺的时候，受点小伤是很常见的。只有wound和injury有“受伤，伤害”的意思，wound做名词一般指“伤口，受伤的地方”，而in-jury指“小伤”，所以C项为正确答案。
    此处表示“最后猛一冲刺”，一定是速度很快，除了 B选项之外的三个选项都有“速度”之意，velocity“速率，速度”，为科学用语，pace“步调，步法”,speed“速度”，是常用词，故选D。
    此处的意思是“改变方向”，并不是要改变路线，只有A选项符合题意。
    想要改变行车方向需要抬起车头在空中掉转，turn round为惯用搭配，意为 “旋转，掉转”,roll和revolve本身就有“旋转”的意思，后面不需加round，所以C项为正确答案。
    这四个选项都有“转圈”的意思，cycle“循环，骑自行车”,circle“旋转，环绕移动”,wind“缠绕，上发条”,spin“旋转，纺纱”，此处主语为wheel，轮子在空中一定是“旋转”, 因此选D。
    四个选项都有“综合”的意思，mixture“mixture 混合，混合物”,link“连接，结合”, combination“结合，组合，联合”,union“联盟，联合”，全句意为“结合没有弹簧、没有方向舵，以及遭遇不平整路段等问题，木制双轮车骑起来十分不舒服”，只有C选项的意思放在此处最恰当。
    综合全文大意，我们得知法国人发明的木制双轮车便是现代自行车的始祖，A选项符合题意。
