填空题
GNP becomes an obsolete measure of progress in a society
striving to meet people's needs as efficiently as possible and with the least
damage to the environment. What counts is not growth in output, but the
quality of services rendered. (1) {{U}}Bicycles and light rail, for instance, are
less resources--intensive forms of transportation as automobiles are, and
contribute less to GNR. (2) But shift to mass transit and cycling for most
passenger trips would enhance urban life by eliminating traffic jams, reducing
smog, and make cities safer for pedestrians. (3) GNP would go up, but overall
wellbeing would increase{{/U}}--underscoring the need for new indicators of
progress. Likewise, investing in water-efficient appliances and
irrigation systems instead of building more dams and diversion canals would meet
water needs with less harm to the environment. (4) {{U}}Since massive water
projects consume resources them efficiency in vestments do,{{/U}} GNP would tend
to decline. But quality of life would improve. (5) {{U}}It becomes clearly
that striving to boost GNP is often inappropriate and counterproductive.{{/U}} As
ecologist and philosopher Garrett Hardin puts it. (6) {{U}}"For a statesman to try
to maximize the GNP is about as sensible as for a composer of music to try to
maximize the number of note in a symphony."{{/U}} Abandoning
growth as an overriding goal does not mean forsaking the poor. (7) {{U}}Rising
incomes and material consumption are essential to improving well-being in many
of the Third World. (8) But contrary to that political leaders imply, global
economic growth as currently pursued is not the solution to poverty.{{/U}} Despite
the fivefold rise in world economic output since 1951, 1.2 billion people more
than ever--live in absolute poverty today. More growth of the sort engineered in
recent decades will not save the poor, only a new set of priorities
can. Formidable barriers stand in the way of shifting from
growth to real progress as the central goal of economic policy. (9) {{U}}Vision
that growth conjures up of an expanding pie of riches is a powerful and
convenient political too!{{/U}} Because it allows the tough issues of income
inequality and skewed wealth distribution to be avoid. (10) People assume
that as far as there is growth, there is hope that the lives of the poor
can be bettered without sacrifices from the rich.{{/U}} The reality,
however, is that achieving an environmentally sustainable global economy
is not possible without the rich limiting their consumption in order to leave
room for the poor to increase theirs.

Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds (语声), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.
Let’s look at this __61__ in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, __62__ distinguishes man from the rest of the __63__ world.
Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by __64__ of cries: for example, many birds utter __65__ calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter __66__ cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. __67__ these various means of communication differ in important ways __68__ human language. For instance, animals’ cries do not __69__ thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that __70__ us to divide a human utterance into __71__.
We can change an utterance by __72__ one word in it with __73__: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north“, __74__ who can change one word and say aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, __75__ means “danger!”
This is why the number of __76__ that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case __77__ point; it has about twenty different calls, __78__ in human language the number of possible utterances is __79__. It also explains why animal cries are very __80__ in meaning.

填空题A. The famous athletes in the Games
B. The origin of Olympic Games
C. Interruption of the Games
D. Honor given to the winners
E. Olympic Games held nowadays
F. Hosting countries of the Games
G. Spectators and events of the ancient Games
1
In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 BC. But before that, the ancient Olympic Games may have existed for centuries. In the long history of human development, in addition to the ancient religion of social and cultural phenomenon, the Olympic movement can be regarded as one of the oldest social and cultural phenomenon.
2
The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman, was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is uncertain, but events included boy"s gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, horse racing and field events, though there were fewer sports involved than in the modem Olympic Games.
3
On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. How their results compared with modem standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling.
4
After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were suspended by the Romans in 394 AD. They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics: the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind, and that the spirit of competition in sports and games was preferable to the competition that caused wars. It was over 1,500 years before another such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in 1896. In 1896 year 6 April to 15 April, Athens hosted the first modern Olympic Games.
5
Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athlete"s expenses. The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun"s rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolizes the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony. So the torch symbolizes peace, light, and so the significance of unity and friendship. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modem conception: the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games. Among them, the blue represents Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, green for Oceania, red for the Americas.

How Can a Parent Help?
Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job"s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult"s need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book
Ready or Not, Here Life Comes
, that parents can take to prevent what I call "work-life unreadiness".
41
You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Periodically review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings, like difficulty in communicating well or collaborating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.
42
Kids need a range of authentic role models—as opposed to members of their clique, pop stars and vaunted athletes. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the familyknows and how they got where they are. Discuss the joys and downsides of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying "I have no idea." They can change their minds 200 times, but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.
43
Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. Kids need plenty of practice delaying gratification and deploying effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities.
44
Playing video games encourages immediate content. And hours of watching TV shows with caned laughter only teaches kids to process information in passive way. At the same time, listening through earphones to the same monotonous beats for long stretches encourages kids to stay inside their bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors. All these activities can prevent the growth of important communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained concentration they will need for most jobs.
45
They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.
What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. They have to be careful not to come across as disappointed in their child. They should exhibit strong interest and respect for whatever interests their fledging adult (as naive or ill conceived as it may seem) while becoming a partner in exploring options for the future. Most of all, these new adults, must feel they are respected and supportedby a farther.
