填空题Many people have discovered that hobbies can be profitable as well as fun. Some people have fine collections of bottles, flags, stamps or even match boxes. Painting, writing and taking photographs are examples of hobbies that may become occupations." Every writer, artist and photographer probably started as a hobbyist before becoming a professional. Many doctors believe that hobbies help to make our lives more enjoyable. They believe that people who raise fish or collect records are too busy to spend their time worrying. Doctors also think that an active person, such as a baseball player, should have a restful hobby such as reading, while a person who sits at a desk all day should have a lively hobby such as tennis, golf or swimming. Most people in the United States agree with the doctors. It is difficult to find an American who does not have a favorite hobby.

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. Does the language we speak determine how healthy and rich we will be? New research by Keith Chen of Yale Business School suggests so. Chen's recent findings suggest that an unlikely factor, language, strongly affects our future-oriented behavior. Some languages strongly distinguish the present and the future. Other languages only weakly distinguish the present and the future. {{U}} 1 {{/U}}______ The way these people conceptualize the future is similar to the way they conceptualize the present. As a result, the future does not feel very distant and it is easier for them to act in accordance with their future interests. Different languages have different ways of talking about the future. Some languages, such as English, Korean, and Russian, require their speakers to refer to the future explicitly. Every time English-speakers talk about the future, they have to use future markers such as "will" or "going to." In other languages, such as Mandarin, Japanese, and German, future markers are not obligatory. {{U}} 2 {{/U}}______ A Mandarin speaker who is going to go to a seminar might say "Wo qu ting jiangzuo," which translates to "I go listen seminar." Languages such as English constantly remind their speakers that future events are distant. For speakers of languages such as Mandarin future feels closer. As a consequence, resisting immediate impulses and investing for the future is easier for Mandarin speakers. Chen analyzed individual-level data from 76 developed and developing countries. {{U}} 3 {{/U}}______ He also analyzed individual-level data on people's retirement assets, smoking and exercising habits, and general health in older age. Lastly, he analyzed national-level data that includes national savings rates, country GDP and GDP growth rates, country demographics, and proportions of people speaking different languages. {{U}} 4 {{/U}}______ After those factors were accounted for, the effect of language on people's savings rates turned out to be big. Speaking a language that has obligatory future markers, such as English, makes people 30 percent less likely to save money for the future. This effect is as large as the effect of unemployment. Being unemployed decreases the likelihood of saving by about 30 percent as well. Similar analyses showed that speaking a language that does not have obligatory future markers, such as Mandarin, makes people accumulate more retirement assets, smoke less, exercise more, and generally be healthier in older age. Countries' national savings rates are also affected by language. {{U}} 5 {{/U}}______ A. Having a larger proportion of people speaking languages that does not have obligatory future markers makes national savings rates higher. B. Chen's research points at the possibility that the way we talk about the future can shape our mindsets. Language can move the future back and forth in our mental space and this might have dramatic influences on our judgments and decisions. C. The future is often talked about similar to the way present is talked about and the meaning is understood from the context. D. Chen's recent research suggests that people who speak languages that weakly distinguish the present and the future are better prepared for the future. They accumulate more wealth and they are better able to maintain their health. E. People's savings rates are affected by various factors such as their income, education level, age, religious affiliation, their countries' legal systems, and their cultural values. F. These results also provide evidence for the language-cognition link, which has stirred some controversy among researchers. G. This data includes people's economic decisions, such as whether they saved any money last year, the languages they speak at home, demographics, and cultural factors such as "saving is an important cultural value for me."

填空题The government panel that sets U. S. vaccine policy already has begun discussing "universal immunization" as a way to boost vaccination rates and reduce flu-linked sickness and death, Dr. Scott Harper of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at a vaccine meeting this week. (41) ___________________ Harper acknowledged that the recent crisis momentarily upstaged universal immunization discussions, but said it remains a viable proposal. (42) ___________________ The vaccine meeting, held every year, seeks to set an agenda for the upcoming flu season. Participants many with a financial stake in getting more people vaccinated--said the universal vaccination push is likely to come within the next five years. (43) ___________________ Also, flu vaccine is altered every year because there are always different flu strains circulating. The unused vaccine is discarded at season's end, making flu shots financially unappealing for manufacturers. (44) ___________________ Sanofi Pasteur's Philip Hosbach said the company has two idle U. S. factories "because there's not the return on the investment." Universal vaccination could in the long term help stabilize supply if it increased demand, he said. (45) ___________________ Demand has historically been a problem, too. Millions of the at-risk patients routinely skip annual shots. Some people worry the vaccine isn't safe or they simply don't like shots, but many also underestimate the seriousness of flu, said Dr. Ann O'Malley, a researcher at the Center for Studying Health System Change.A. "Part of our job is to just keep this issue on the radar screen," Harper told vaccine providers, distributors and manufacturers at the national flu vaccine summit here.B. So far only one company, Sanofi Pasteur, is licensed to make U. S. flu vaccine for the upcoming season, though public health officials hope two others, including Chiron, will soon gain approval.C. Estimates suggest that in an average year, flu infects about 82 million people nationwide, hospitalizes 200,000 and kills 36,000.D. Dr. Herb Young of the American Academy of Family Physicians said recommending shots for everyone could ease the confusion--and that his group is moving toward supporting the idea.E. The hurdles, some observers say, are daunting. Unstable supply is one of the biggest. This year the best case scenario--having about 90 million shots available--isn't even enough for the 180 million high-risk people advised to get shots, let alone the total population of 280 million.F. The end of a chaotic season where many people seeking flu shots were turned away because of a shortage might seem an odd time to broach the idea of vaccinating even more people.G. But I'ra Longini, an Emory University biostatistician who specializes in vaccine analysis, said universal vaccination would be unworkable unless supply problems can be resolve

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} You are going to road a list of beadings and a text about the proplem of staff recruitment of most companies. Choose a heading from the list A—F that best fits the meaning of each numbered part of the text (41—45). The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There are one extra heading that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) The difficulty of holding onto good, experienced staff has always been a major issue with the majority of companies. High staff turnover can result in many problems. One of the most serious of these is the cost of continually having to find and train replacements. 41. ______ Most companies hope to recruit the right type of person in the first place. However, too much emphasis on qualifications and not enough on personality often leads to a company attracting the right standard. but not the right kind, of person. Selection tests can be used to indicate a candidate's suitability for the job they are applying for. They can also be used to identify existing staff who are suitable but who, initially, may not have been considered. 42. ______ It is important for companies to understand why employees move on to another employer. The reasons for staff resigning and the benefits offered by their new employer must be recorded. They can be the key to identifying any problem areas that might exist within an organization. It is essential, therefore, that employees who are about to disappear are interviewed before they depart, in order to discover why they are leaving. 43. ______ Analysis of these interviews has shown that a lack of appreciation is one of the main factors causing employees to look elsewhere for work. Managers should provide regular feedback to their staff. For example, when good work has been done it must be praised. If this is not done, employees will think their efforts are not appreciated. 44. ______ Communications within the organization are another consideration. If these are poor, employees will feel left out. This can be avoided through regular departmental and inter-departmental meetings, which are extremely valuable as means of passing on information throughout the company and keeping employees up to date with recent developments. They also serve to provide the opportunity for employees to express their opinions. 45. ______ Paying staff according to how they perform is another way of recognizing employee's efforts. If the company benefits from an employee's extra efforts, it is only reasonable that the employee should also receive some financial benefit. It is, however, important to avoid offering some member of staff the opportunity to improve their pay while excluding others. The reasons for staff resigning and the benefits offered by their new employer must be recorded. In cases where such difficulties might exist, a planned career progression for an individual staff member means that the pe4son knows exactly what to expect from the job and what is required from them [A] appreciation as the main factor [B] selection tests help in recruitment [C] praise the men who act well [D] to know why employees leave [E] reasonable reward and fair treatment [F] exchanges inside the company

填空题No single element has tantalized and tormented the human imagination more than the shimmering metal known by the chemical symbol Au. For thousands of years the desire to possess gold has driven people to extremes, fueling wars and conquests, girding empires and currencies, leveling mountains and forests. (71) Yet its chief virtues—its unusual density and malleability along with its imperishable shine—have made it one of the world's most coveted commodities, a transcendent symbol of beauty, wealth, and immortality. From pharaohs (who insisted on being buried in what they called the "flesh of the golds") to the forty-niners (whose mad rush for the mother lode built the American West) to the financiers (who, following Sir Isaac Newton's advice, made it the bedrock of the global economy); (72) Humankind's feverish attachment to gold shouldn't have survived the modern world. Few cultures still believe that gold can give eternal life, and every country in the world—the United States was last, in 1971—has done away with the gold standard. (73) The price of gold, which stood at $ 271 an ounce on September 10, 2001, hit $1,023in March 2008, and it may surpass that threshold again. Aside from extravagance, gold is still continuing to play its role as a safe haven in perilous times. (74) In 2007 demand outstripped mine production by 59 percent. "Gold has always had this kind of magic," says Peter L. Bernstein, author of The Power of Gold. "But it's never been clear if we have gold or gold has us. " While investors flock to new gold-backed funds, jewelry still accounts for two-thirds of the demand, generating a record $53.5 billion in worldwide sales in 2007. (75) However, such concerns don't ruffle the biggest consumer nations, namely India, where a gold obsession is woven into the culture, and China, which leaped past the U.S. in 2007 to become the world's second largest buyer of gold jewelry. A. But gold's luster (光泽) not only endures; fueled by global uncertainty, it grows stronger. B. Gold is not vital to human existence; it has, in fact, relatively few practical uses. C. In the U. S. an activist-driven "No Dirty Gold" campaign has persuaded many top jewelry retailers to stop selling gold from mines that cause severe social or environmental damage. D. Nearly every society through the ages has invested gold with an almost mythological power. E. For all of its allure, gold's human and environmental toll has never been so steep. Part of the challenge, as well as the fascination, is that there is so little of it. F. Gold's recent surge, sparked in part by the terrorist attack on 9/11, has been amplified by the slide of the U. S. dollar and jitters over a looming global recession.
