填空题Marian: I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She's found a trick that works for her most of the time, but not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home. Catherine: I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It's okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeai, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way. Roger: A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn't mean you're excused from ironing and it' s certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks! Briggs: I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there. Bill: You're forgetting the most important point—it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the roles. If that includes a dross code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code—start your own business. Statements A. We shall not be moved. B. Money means freedom. C. Photos taking are pleasant. D. There are people who are so careless about dressing. E. Action speaks louder than words. F. It is our society that must be blamed. G. You should wear appropriately where you are.

填空题Directions: Read the following article in which five people talk about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Richard: In my opinion, smoking is only an amusement, like playing cards, reading, etc. Many years ago, when an adult handed me a cigarette and lit it for me, I felt grown up. When I am with friends and have nothing to say, we smoke, consequently we no longer feel embarrassed. Sometimes, I light a cigarette, suffering and nervousness vanishing with the smoke, I can't help saying inwardly: Hello, cigarette, my old friend, I'm coming to meet you again. Stanton: Many people believe smokers have the right to smoke. But they also believe that others shouldn't have to pay a price. The risk of tobacco smoke is greater than the risk of radon gas is to non-smokers. We're talking maybe 40 percent greater. And if you're talking about all the carcinogenic air pollutants that EPA regulates, it's 100 times greater. Davis: According to our investigation, tobacco smoke in the home and workplace could be killing 46,000 non-smokers each year in the United States. That's 3,000 lung cancer deaths, 11,000 from other cancers and 32,000 heart disease deaths. That would make passive smoking the leading preventable cause of death in the United States after alcohol and smoking itself. Smoking kills 390,000 while alcohol 120,000. James: Passive smoking has become the principal battleground for the tobacco industry and its opponents in the 1980s. It is no longer merely a health issue, but political and environmental. Cigarette pollution is fouling the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's indoor air program's result, we know that the indoor environment is far more polluted than the outdoor environment. We've seen that again and again wherever we've looked all over the United States. Winston: Sir, another fact about smoking is that cigarettes give people a good deal of pleasure. There is considerable evidence, surprisingly little publicized, showing that smoking produces certain beneficial effects in human beings. Smoking counteracts some decrease in efficiency, and smokers improve their performance in complex situations while smoking. There is also evidence showing that nicotine can produce a tranquilizing effect during high emotional and shock situations, while on the other hand stimulating concentration in tedious situations. Now match each of the items to the appropriate statement Note: There are two extra statements. A. Passive smoking is the third preventable cause of death. B. Smokers have the right to smoke. C. Smoking produces some positive effects in some complex situations. D. Second-hand smoke is more harmful to non-smokers than those cancerinducing air pollutants. E. Cigarette pollution has caused outdoor environment even worse. F. Smoking can help people get rid of nervousness. G. Smoking is also an environmental issue.

For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Chen I have heard that the National TV Tower of Canada is located in Toronto. I want to visit this famous tower. Vancouver is the second place which I hope to visit. Therefore, I can enjoy the wonderful scenery of the famous port city.

填空题G. F. Aland Many people regard Standard English as correct English. It is certainly the variety which is taught to foreign learners English and, in its written form, it represents the form which is found in most types of writing-school textbooks, government documents, newspapers and literature. But Standard English is only one variety among the many varieties of English, though it has acquired a special position among these varieties because it is used as the medium of education in England. Because of the position of Standard English, it is often taken subconsciously as a norm in discussions of language acquisition, change and varieties. The effect of broadcasting has been to allow people to hear many different varieties of English from all over the world. Although this has not necessarily undermined the perceived status of Received Pronunciation, it perhaps has made it appear to speakers of the language that a high degree of variety exists and that many people, even quite distinguished ones, can use forms of spoken English which differ from those of Received Pronunciation. D. M. Richard A standard language is a variety of a language that is socially and culturally predominant and is generally accepted as the most proper form of that language. Written Standard English is, with minor differences, primarily in spelling the same word. However, with reference to the spoken language, the term Standard English must be further qualified. The Standard English of New Zealand is by no means identical to the Standard English of Ireland. Indeed, even within a given country, what is considered standard may vary from area to area. Diversity among the regional dialects of England, particularly in pronunciation, is greater than in any other part of the world where English is spoken as a native language. English is also the only English-speaking nation with an official or quasi-official standard dialect, which we can call Standard British English (SBE). This dialect is a social and educational, rather than regional dialect. It is superimposed upon regional dialects; in effect, many of its users are bidialectal to some extent, able to speak both SBE and a regional dialect. SBE is the English taught in the public (that is, private) schools of England and Wales. David Alpher The rapid development in public broadcasting after about 1920 led in England and abroad to the establishment of BBC English as an actual spoken standard. This standard, alternatively known as Received Pronunciation, is that of a social and educational elite. Robert Claiborne But when we are communicating with "outsiders", and especially if we are communicating in writing, we will almost certainly do best with spoken Standard English. The reasons are very clear. To begin with, though most English speakers speak some nonstandard dialect, they almost certainly understand the educated speech of their region and, if they"re literate, written Standard English. (The latter, in fact, is acceptable currency almost anywhere in the English-speaking world.) The overwhelming majority of English-language publications-newspapers, magazines and books-are written, apart from some dialogue passages, in Standard English. The directions and manuals that come with medicines, many foodstuffs, and the innumerable gadgets that enrich or complicate our lives are in Standard English. And the governmental and corporate bureaucrats that most of us have to correspond with from time to time deal in Standard, if often heavily jargonized English. In brief, Standard English is "better" than other dialects because with it we can give information to and get information from, many more sources than with any other dialect. Gerald Knowles Standard English was for a long time essentially a written form of the language, but it did influence the use of grammar and vocabulary in speech, and even pronunciation. In all parts of the country the UK, local forms and usages have been subject to displacement:as fashions have changed and new forms have been accepted in the standard language and have gradually spread to local dialects. The vast majority of English speakers today have a standardized variety of English. Agreement on matters of pronunciation seems to have developed in the nineteenth century, especially in the public schools of the south of England. This has led to a widespread acceptance in England of one variety of pronunciation as a standard and this is the type that was adopted in the 1920s for broadcasting by the BBC. It is known as Received Pronunciation, or more commonly as RP. An RP speaker is somebody whose speech belongs to England, but cannot be pinned down to any region of England. RP has had a powerful influence on all regional varieties, but relatively few people actually speak it. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note:there are two extra statements. Statements A. Although RP has greatly influenced the regional dialects in UK, very few people actually speak it. B. Standard English is more efficient in communicating with other people than other dialects. C. A greater population speaks Standard English in UK. D. The standard language varies from country to country. E. An international standard language should be developed. F. BBC is the standard of the British social elite. G. Standard English has a special position because it acts as the medium of education.

填空题Mr. Mike Smith: It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim. Mr. Tom Brown: It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up,so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers,all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody ,especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason. Mr. Bob Davis: Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all? Mrs. Baker: My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater: Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers'money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things. Statements A．A 10% increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason. B．I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability. C．We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved. D．I think that the government should give in to the electricity workers'demands. E．I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison. F．I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs. G．We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

填空题Directions: Read the following article in which five people talk about AIDS. For Question 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Greg Louganis: These were the trials for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Until this dive, I had been ahead. But now, something else was more significant than winning. I might have endangered other divers' lives if I have spilled blood in the pool. For what I knew—that few others knew—was that I was HIV-positive. AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to quit diving professionally after the Olympics. Margaret Chan: It is reported that almost three million people in developing countries are now receiving drugs for HIV. This is an increase of almost one million people from two thousand and six. Still, the hope was to reach three million by two thousand and five. But antiretroviral therapy, or ART, alone will not solve the problem. For every two persons we manage to provide them with ART, another five persons get infected. So again, we cannot underestimate the power of prevention. Paula Green: The disease robs the body of its natural defenses against infections. Almost seventy-five percent of people receiving HIV drugs are in Africa. The drags help patients live longer without developing AIDS. An estimated nine million seven hundred thousand people in low and middle income countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it. Raymond Chow: Price reductions can be a main method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in the past. William Wang: Huge barriers still remain in dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Getting patients to stay on their therapy is difficult. There are still large numbers of people who do not get tested for HIV. And there are many others who get tested too late and die within months. What's more, there is not enough joint treatment of HIV and the related infections that most often kill AIDS patients. And still another problem is the shortage of health care workers in the developing world. Now match each of the items to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. A. Some HIV-positive patients don't cooperate with doctors. B. AID patient's blood may be dangerous to other people's lives. C. People are scared of AIDS. D. Treatment is more urgent than prevention. E. Many people can't get HIV drugs because of poverty. F. More people get HIV treatment, but even more get infected. G. HIV drugs should be cheaper.
