Alfred Nobel, a Swedish inventor
contributed most of his vast fortune in a trust as a fund from which annual
prizes could be awarded to individuals and organizations who had achieved the
greatest benefit to humanity in a particular year. Originally, there were six
classifications for outstanding contributions designated in Nobel's will
including chemistry, physics, medicine, literature, and international
peace. The prizes are administrated by the Nobel Foundation in
Stockholm. In 1969, a prize for economics endowed by the Central Bank of Sweden
was added. Candidates for the prizes must be nominated in writing by qualified
authority in the field of competition. Recipients are selected by their
respective institutions. The prizes are usually presented in Stockholm on
December 10, with the King of Sweden officiating, an appropriate tribute to
Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death. Each one includes a gold medal, a
diploma, and a cash award of about a million
dollars.

Application for admission to the Graduate School at this university must

Graduate School. Both the application and transcripts must be on file at least
one month prior to the registration date, and must be accompanied by a
nonrefundable ten-dollar check or money order to cover the cost of processing
the application. Students who have already been admitted to the
Graduate School but were not enrolled during the previous semester should
reapply for admission using a special form available in the office of the
Graduate School. It is not necessary for students who have previously been
denied admission to resubmit transcripts; however, new application forms must
accompany all requests for reconsideration. Applications should be submitted at
least eight weeks in advance of the session in which the student wishes to
enroll.

单选题{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}}
Beliefs are shared ideas about how the
world operates. They may be' summaries and interpretations of the past,
explanations of the' present or predictions for the future, and may be based on
common sense, folk wisdom, religion, science, or some combination of these. Some
beliefs apply to intangible (无形的) things (for example, whether the human spirit
lives on after .death). All cultures distinguish between ideas for which people
have reasonable proof (for Americans, for ex ample, the idea that smoking
increases the risk of cancer) and ideas that have not been, or cannot be, tested
(for Americans, for example, the idea that there is intelligent life on other
planets). Where and how people draw the line varies, however.
Bemuse beliefs shape both personal and social experience, basic
differences in beliefs can account for some of the problems Vietnamese
immigrants have had in American society. One exampie is beliefs concerning the
nature of time. People in Western cultures believe time is irreversible (不可回转的).
We think of time as a straight line. On every January 1st we add another year to
the calendar. Traditionally, the Vietnamese have reckoned time in sixty-yesr
cycles. Every sixty years the cycle starts over with .the year with which it
began. Such a conception of time suggests that current events are not unique;
that things come around again. American beliefs regarding time as linear create
the sense that "time is ticking away"; the Vietnamese belief that time is
cyclical creates an entirely different state of mind. Beliefs
apply not only to concepts like time but also to mundane (世俗的,世间的) aspects of
the material world. Residents of San Francisco were offended greatly to learn
that rural immigrants from Laos and Cambodia had been stalking(蹑手蹑脚地走近) their
dinner in Golden Gate Park. San Franciscans could not understand how the
newcomers could hunt and eat squirrels(松鼠) and stray dogs; the
Indochinese(印度支那人) could not understand why San Franciscans did not— a classic
case of the same object (in this case, dogs) having different cultural meanings.
Even within our own culture we can see great variation in how people think about
the same re source. Some people see dogs as working animals, acquired to protect
our apartments or livestock; others treat their dogs as special friends or even
substitute children.

单选题(Not one) in one hundred children exposed to the disease (are) (likely) (to develop) symptoms of it.
单选题Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born a hundred years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birth rates, that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people~ unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often go on welfare if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile or too weak to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other non- profit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply dumping grounds for the dying in which care is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.
