问答题Will newspapers become a thing of the past in this Internet age? It is currently estimated that more than 1 billion people use the Internet worldwide. The number-one online activity is e-mail, followed by reading news on the Internet. The Internet is an increasingly effective and efficient way to reach the largest possible audience worldwide. Harris Interactive, a U.S.-based company, reported that the majority of people went online because they could obtain information at times suitable to them; or others did so because more detailed news could be found online; or more up-to-date information was available online; or because they could access news while at work. Though most media reporters and networks try to report objectively, bias exists. Bias means to favor. Bias can occur in the media"s choice of stories and coverage of a story. Through the choice of words and selection of interviews, interviewers and interviewees, the media might report favorably or unfavorably on a news issue. As viewers of news stories, audiences need to objectively judge the news coverage that they hear and read, and seek out more information from other sources, if necessary.

问答题{{U}}If you find yourself stressed by the economic forecast, threat of job loss, or have been laid off, the situation is manageable.{{/U}} John Wakeman, program director of the Stress Treatment Center at Ochsner Clinic, New Orleans, La. , who has given numerous stress management training sessions for major industries and businesses, says that, when confronted with altered circumstances, "it is our nature to either revert back to the status quo(现状) or to adapt and to do so quickly so that it's no longer a change. My suggestion is to adapt quickly." If laid off, avoid a doom-and-gloom attitude, which adds to the stress. (2) {{/U}}Accept that changes are inevitable in a lifetime and occurrences such as job loss frequently bring opportunities that would not be available if you were not facing the crisis.{{/U}} Some people find an even better occupational situation. (3) {{U}}Instead of responding to layoff as a personal insult, view it as a sign of the economic times and the fact that the business could not keep its employees.{{/U}} Maintain a routine and keep your social contacts. Don't sit at home. Remain active. Use energy constructively. Don't vent (发泄) irritability and frustration from stress on your family, but channel it into exercise or work on a project. Polish your resume, network with others in your field, and write letters to prospective employers. Keep informed about the job market by reading employment journals, trade publications, and newspapers. Competition is keen, so expect your search to take time. "(4) {{U}}When a person is turned down repeatedly, it does try [his or her] self-esteem, but you have to remember what you accomplished before you were laid off.{{/U}} No one can erase those achievements from your history. You have somethings to offer." Many people feel threatened by change and become inflexible, Wakeman points out. "You may find that you need to be more open about relocating to a place where employment is available. (5) {{U}}Keep an open mind and be flexible about the possibility of a change requiring relocation or taking on new assignments."{{/U}}

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following tenet carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on Answer Sheet 2. Jack S. Kilby, an electrical engineer whose invention of the integrated circuit gave rise to the information age and heralded an explosion of consumer electronics products in the last 50 years, from personal computers to cellphones, died Monday in Dallas. He was 81. His death, after a brief battle with cancer, was announced yesterday by Texas Instruments, the Dallas-based electronics company where he worked for a quarter-century. (46) {{U}}The integrated circuit that Mr. Kilby designed '.shortly after arriving at Texas Instruments in 1958 served as the basis for modern microelectronics, transforming a technology that permitted the simultaneous manufacturing of a mere handful of transistors(晶体管 ) into a chip industry that routinely places billions of Lilliputian(微小的) switches in the area of a fingernail.{{/U}} His achievement--the integration--yielded a thin chip of crystal connecting previously separate components like transistors, resistors and capacitors within a single device. For that creation, commonly called the microchip, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000. (47) {{U}}During his career at Texas Instruments he claimed more than 60 patents and was also one of the inventors of the hand-held calculator and the thermal printer. But it was Mr. Kilby's invention of the integrated circuit that most broadly shaped the electronic era.{{/U}} "It's hard to find a place where the integrated circuit doesn't affect your life today," Richard m. Templeton, Texas Instruments' president and chief executive officer, said in an interview yesterday. "That's how broad its impact is. " It is an impact, Mr. Kilby said, that was largely unexpected. (48){{U}} "We expected to reduce the cost of electronics, but I don't think anybody was thinking in terms of factors of a million," he said in an undated interview cited by Texas Instruments.{{/U}} (49) {{U}}The remarkable acceleration of the manufacturing process based on the integrated circuit was later described by Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of the Intel Corporation, whose partner, Robert N. Noyce, invented another version of the integrated circuit just months after Mr. Kilby.{{/U}} In 1965, three years after the first commercial integrated circuits came to market, Dr. Moore observed that the number of transistors on a circuit was doubling at regular intervals and would do so far into the future. (50) {{U}}The observation, which came to be known as Moore's law, became the defining attribute of the chip-making industry, centered in what is now known as Silicon Valley, where Intel was based, rather than in Dallas.{{/U}}

问答题Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewer possible English words and then put your answers on the Answer Sheet. The years between 1870 and 1895 brought enormous changes to the theater in the United States as the resident company was undermined by touring groups, as New York became the only major center of production, and as the long run replaced the repertory (库存) system. By 1870, the resident stock company was at the peak of its development in the United States. The 50 permanent companies of 1870, however, had dwindled to 20 by1878, to 8 by 1880, to 4 by 1887, and had almost disappeared by 1900. While the causes of this change are numerous, probably the most important was the rise of the "combination" company (that is, one that travels with stars and full company).Sending out a complete production was merely a logical extension of touring by stars. Bythe 1840s many major actors were already taking along a small group of lesser players, for they could not be sure that local companies could supply adequate support in secondary roles. There is much disagreement about the origin of the combination company. Bouciault claimed to have initiated it around 1860 when he sent out a troupe with Colleen Bawn, but a book published in 1859 speaks of combination companies as already established. Joseph Jefferson Ⅲ also declared that he was a pioneer in the movement. In actuality, the practice probably began tentatively during the 1850s, only to be interrupted by the Civil War. It mushroomed in the 1870s, as the rapid expansion of the railway system made it increasingly feasible to transport full productions. In 1872, Lawrence Barrett took his company, but no scenery, on tour; in 1876, Rose Michel was sent out with full company, scenery, and properties. By the season of 1876—1877 there were nearly 100 combination companies on the road, and by 1886 there were 282.

问答题 About 150 years ago, a village church vicar in Yorkshire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes hinged entirely on the sole male heir, Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature. 46){{U}} Branwell's father and sisters hoarded their pennies to. Rack him off to London's Royal Academy of Arts, but if art was his calling, he dialed a wrong number. Within weeks he hightailed it home, a penniless failure.{{/U}} Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would free him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again. 47){{U}} For years the selfless sisters squelched their own goals farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support of their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius{{/U}}. As failure multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure. So died hope in the one male-but what of the three anonymous sisters.? During Branwell's last years, the girls published a book of poetry at their own expense (under a pseudonym, for fear of reviewers' bias against females). Even Branwell might have snickered: they sold only two copies. 48){{U}} Undaunted, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their pent-up emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition-in reality, less fiction than autobiography! {{/U}}And 19th century literature was transformed by Anne's Agnes Grey, Emily's Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte's Jane Eyre. But years of sacrifice for Brauwell had taken their toll. 49){{U}} Emily took ill at her brother's funeral and died within 3 months, aged 30; Anne died 5 months later, aged 29; Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they. had been nurtured instead of having been sacrificed.{{/U}} No one remembers Branwell's name, much less his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters' tragically short lives teach us even more of life than literature. 50) {{U}}Their sacrificed genius cries out to us that in modern society we must value children not by their physical strength or sexual gender, as we would value any boast of burden, but by their integrity strength a commitment, courage-spiritual qualities abundant in both boys and girls. {{/U}}China, a nation blessed by more boys and girls than any nation, ignores at her own peril the lesson of the Brontes' tragedy.

问答题The fact is that the energy crisis, which has suddenly been officially announced, has been with us for a long time now, and will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows freely or not, it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragilea base.【T1】 The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time, and in any case, the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use. 【T2】 New sources of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the times past. For an indefinite period from here on, mankind is going to advance cautiously, and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all. To make the situation worse, there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world's population is in sight. Although the birth-rate has dropped in some nations, including the United States, the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion as the twenty-first century opens. 【T3】 The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food. Taking all this into account, what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets to be like in the year 2001? To begin with, the world food supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next thirty years — even here in the United States. By 2001, the population of the United States will be at least two hundred fifty million and possibly two hundred seventy million, and the nation will find it difficult to expand food production to fill the additional mouths.【T4】 This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.
