填空题No longer do most of Europe's undergraduates want to dirty their hands producing things or providing services to customers.【R1】______A hefty annual study of students at universities specializing in business education and science in 13 European countries found that McKinsey Andersen Consulting and the Boston Consulting Group are among the top five ideal employers named by almost 40% of the young people surveyed. 【R2】______ 【R3】______By contrast, when the survey, conducted annually by Universum, a Swedish consultancy, began in 1995, even business students included only three consultancies in their top 20 employers(although even then McKinsey and BCG were in pole position). KPMG, now at 17th place, was then at 35th. 【R4】______ Equally striking is the passion for American firms.【R5】______In 1995, Nestle and Unilever came fourth and fifth respectively. Now, even in the top 50 firms and counting generously, only 24 are European. 【R6】______Ansgar Kinkel, who runs the division of Kienbaum, Germany's biggest compensation and recruitment consultancy, which specializes in recruiting young high-fliers, thinks that graduates are looking for "an international firm with an open culture". They are swayed too, by a big brand name. 【R7】______ 【R8】______After all, as Europe's birth death takes full effect, the pool of young graduates will shrink and the fight to recruit them will grow tougher. A. In this year's list they take five of the half-dozen top slots. B. In those days, the list included more investment banks, such as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. C. Among youngsters on business coursed, one in five put McKinsey in their top-of-the-pops. D. In future, one of the big returns to a strong brand may be its effects on graduate recruitment. E. All told, the 20 most popular employers in Europe include half a dozen consultancies. F. Why do Europe's young appear to spurn Europe's big employers? G. In Germany, Daimler Chrysler has the benefit of both, and more than 20% of the German students quizzed by Universum put it in their top five. H. Instead, they clearly think it's more fun to tell their elders how to run their business.

填空题Addiction 1. The word "addiction" is often used loosely or ironically in informal conversation. People will refer to themselves as "mystery book addicts", "fashion addicts" or "cookie addicts". Yet nobody really believes that reading mysteries, being crazy about fashion or eating cookie is serious enough to be compared with addiction to heroin, drug or alcohol. The word "addiction" is here used jokingly to denote a tendency to thoroughly or over indulge in some pleasurable activities. 2. Some people often refer to being "hooked on TV". Does this, too, fall into the lighthearted category of cookie eating and other pleasures that people pursue with unusual intensity, or is there a kind of television viewing that falls into the more serious category of destructive addiction, like of drug or alcohol? The answer is obvious. 3. When we think about addiction to drugs or alcohol, we frequently focus on negative aspects, ignoring the pleasures that accompany drinking or drug-taking. And yet the essence of any serious addiction is a pursuit of pleasure, a search for a "high" substance that is dismaying, the dependence of the organism upon a certain experience and an increasing inability to function normally without it. Thus a person will take two or three drinks at the end of the day not merely for the pleasure drinking provides, but also because he "doesn't feel normal" without them. 4. An addict does not merely pursue a pleasurable experience and need to experience it in order to function normally. He needs to repeat it again and again. Certain thing about that particular experience makes his life without it less than complete. Other potentially pleasurable experiences are no longer possible for him, for under the magic spell of the addictive experience, his life is peculiarly distorted, and he is deprived of other possible pleasures. The addict intensely desires an experience and yet he is never really or fully satisfied. The organism may be temporarily sated or satisfied, but soon it begins to desire severely again. 5. Finally a serious addiction is distinguished from a harmless pursuit of pleasure by its distinctly destructive elements and consequences. A heroin addict, for instance, leads a damaged life: his increasing need for heroin in increasing doses prevents him from rational thinking, from capable working, from maintaining relationships normally, from developing in human ways. Similarly an alcoholic's life is ruined too—it is narrowed down, cut short and dehumanized by his incurable dependence on alcohol. A. Classification of TV addiction question B. Functions of the harmless pursuit of pleasure C. Essence of serious addictions D. Development of the addict's organism E. Destructive features of serious addictios F. Importance of addictive experiences for addicts G. Informal usage of the word "addiction"

填空题1. Working parents and teachers see after-school programs no longer as optional, but as an essential support for children as they grow and develop, according to a new national study of after-school programs, released by Reader's Digest Funds. Nearly 80 percent of parents surveyed in the study said that after-school programs helped their children cope with behavioral problems and helped them obtain new skills to meet increased demands in school. 2. At a time when states and the federal government are pressing harder than ever for improved academic achievement by all children, a three-year study shows that after-school programs, particularly in low-income communities, are an effective and affordable way not only to keep children safe and out of trouble, but also to keep them engaged in school. The report concludes that children in school-based after-school programs benefit both academically and socially in programs that offer a diverse set of activities. The report findings are significantly given the emerging debate over whether or not basic skills can be effectively taught only in programs that exclusively focus on academics or whether such skills can be taught in a variety of program activities such as art, sports, book and chess clubs. 3. Extended Service Schools(ESS)are school-based programs that provide a variety of academic and enrichment activities for young people during non-school hours, from homework help to career awareness. The facilities typically operate before and after school, on weekends and over the summer months. Well-designed programs support families, too. Parents with children in ESS programs said that their children's attitudes and behaviors in school changed and it kept their children out of trouble. As a result, their children's attendance improved. Parents were also able to manage their work schedules better, attend classes and get better jobs. 4. The ESS study involved four national models of after-school programs in 17 communities across the country. The models differed in organizational structure and management, but all sought to promote positive youth development during out-of-school hours. Each ESS site was located in a school and operated by a community — based organization. All the programs focused on a mix of academics, cultural and recreation activities. 5. Practical lessons from the report, such as cost and program design, are highly relevant to local program managers providing after-school services and to state agencies that are administering 21st Century Community Learning Centers for the first time. The Reader's Digest Funds supported nearly 60 such ESS programs in communities across the country to help transform underused public schools into neighborhood centers. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(A-G)on your Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. After-school programs help children both academically and socially B. After-school programs are necessary for children C. The guidance for ESS programs D. After-school programs are not suitable for every child E. After-school programs are sponsored by the government F. The organization of ESS programs G The help that ESS programs can offer for children and parents

There's a story in Texas about the rancher who complained when a well driller found oil instead of the water he had been sent to look for. "Cattle can't drink that stuff!" the rancher cried. That story is no longer funny. We are short of both oil and water, but the water shortage is worse.【R1】______And we are using water a great deal faster than it is being replaced. The replacement rate is dependent on rainfall(sometimes in the form of snow)to resupply rivers, lakes, and ground water.【R2】______Worse, droughts are occurring more frequently and are increasing in severity, not only in the United States but also abroad. Even without droughts, rainfall is insufficient to maintain a balance.【R3】______So much water has been taken from the Colorado River by Arizona and California that Mexico has complained that those states have exceeded the U.S. share under a 1944 treaty on water-sharing. Southern Californians also have elaborated arrangements to transport water from the Pacific North west, which has it in abundance, to their area, which doesn't have nearly enough to support its population. 【R4】______ Short of a fanciful solution, the U.S. has two broad options, neither pleasant. We can conserve or we can produce. The former is inconvenient or worse: less irrigation(and thus less food), fewer swimming pools golf courses, and green lawns.【R5】______In the quantities necessary, this would probably require nuclear power. It is technically feasible, but expensive, and was considered 30 years ago as a joint U.S.-Mexican project in the Gulf of California to alleviate the Colorado river problem. As more of it is done, the cost could be expected to come down; and as we became more desperate for water, we would be more willing to pay the cost even if it didn't come down.【R6】______This is an arrangement whereby large landowners would sell the groundwater under their land, for whatever the market would bear, to cities that might be hundreds of miles distant. This would involve the considerable cost of pipeline construction and would mean faster depletion of groundwater reserves. 【R7】______ It's a good bet that during the 21st century some new arrangements are going to have to be made about the nation's — and the world's — water supplies. These are likely to be neither cheap nor easy. They are more likely to be cheaper and easier if we have thought about them in advance.【R8】______We have been sued to choices of guns or butter. This one might be water or meat.A. A century ago, a drought affected only farmers and perhaps inland navigation; now it affects everybody.B. The Northwest is showing signs of getting tired of this drain.C. It is not too soon to begin.D. We cannot live without oil in the style to which we have become accustomed, but we cannot live at all without water.E. Rivers are running dry, especially in the West.F. It would also mean less food production.G. A solution currently being advanced in west Texas is a concept called "Water Ranching". H. The latter is expensive: desalinization of seawater.

That might seem like a great opportunity to catch up on your sleep. 【R1】______ "If we at some point really want to go to Mars and we want to send humans, then we need to know how they will cope," Mathias Basner told Science News. He is a sleep researcher at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia. 【R2】______ Their experiment was like a long-running game of make-believe: Six men spent 520 days — a little more than 74 weeks — on a pretend voyage to Mars. In fact, the crew spent the entire time confined inside a small, windowless capsule in Moscow, Russia. 【R3】______ During their "trip," the travelers pretended to land on Mars and to carry out science tests. Throughout the pretend trip, other scientists collected data on the travelers. 【R4】______Once every minute, that device recorded the man's motions. From these data, Basner's team found that the volunteers were less active and slept more as the pretend mission continued. During the last 18.5 weeks of the trial, most participants were sleeping more each day than they had during the first 18.5 weeks. 【R5】______One man's natural sleep cycle shifted from a roughly 24-hour day to almost 25 hours long.(By coincidence, that time is closer to the length of a day on Mars.)This meant that he was sometimes awake when his crew members were asleep, and vice versa.【R6】______Tests showed that he became less alert. Messing with sleep can have serious consequences, says Jeffrey Sutton.【R7】______He also directs the Center for Space Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "When you are doing high-risk behavior in space, a performance deficit can be life threatening, he told Science News. The decrease in activity found by Basner's team could also prove problematic in space, says Sutton. 【R8】______A He's a doctor and scientist who worked on the study.B Another one of the six pretend travelers slept less over time.C His team published its new findings in early January.D Each participant wore a device on his wrist.E Astronauts may need to increase their exercise to stay healthy.F But a recent experiment finds that people may develop sleep problems on a long space journey — or at least on the pretend trip in these tests. G Four of the men also developed sleep problems.H The goal of this trial: to learn how people would cope with living in close quarters during travel to and from the Red Planet.

In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television.【R1】______But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey show. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk".【R2】______For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. 【R3】______ Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction.【R4】______Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your workweek, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared with Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends ever with a "final word".【R5】______Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone.【R6】______Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society.【R7】______They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation. While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now.【R8】______Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.A. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show.B. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life.C. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans.D. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans.E.

And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format.H. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophe, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people's lives.
