Concern with money, and then more
money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought
great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever
before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is
disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater
efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of
work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman
produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of
only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he
loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or
individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This
is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and
its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics.
They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the
pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What will happen,
they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-to
joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy
hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940's
life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit
of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the
young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and
they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive,
goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with
considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however,
countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the
modem economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards,
conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern,
industrial France is preferable to the old.

The new prestige of the British

{{U}}(1) {{/U}}interested in universities and degrees than other
advanced countries—or even some backward {{U}}(2) {{/U}} In 1901 Ramsay
Muir observed that Britain had {{U}}(3) {{/U}} universities per head
than any other civilized country in Europe except Turkey. A UNESCO survey in
1967 {{U}}(4) {{/U}} Britain was still close to the bottom in Europe, in
{{U}}(5) {{/U}} of the proportion of the age-group from twenty to
twenty-four who were enrolled in {{U}}(6) {{/U}} education. Most
continental countries in the last decade have expanded {{U}}(7) {{/U}}
higher education faster than Britain. University statistics are notoriously
difficult to compare, because of the different implications of the word
"student"; in most continental countries anyone who {{U}}(8) {{/U}} his
final school exam—the baccalaureat (中学毕业会考)—is entitled to go into the
university on the principle of "let him pass"; but he has {{U}}(9)
{{/U}} guarantees of tuition or personal attention. Partly as a result there
are far more drop-outs and "ghost students"; in France half the students never
become graduates. A comparison of graduates, as opposed {{U}}(10) {{/U}}

单选题Text 3 In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and "human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings. Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From that moment on they are tested again and again—by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one's fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness. Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth century "free enterprise" capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system for a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities—those of love and of reason—are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
单选题Passage Three When it comes to the economy, pessimism is in and good old American optimism is out. From the headlines in the newspapers to the coffee shop chatter, it seems that there is little good to say about the economy. Bad enough that the news about Iraq, winter storms and the escalation of terror alerts continue to keep people on edge. Reports of state budget deficits and threats of major cutbacks in services such as education, health care and police also make people nervous. The latest USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll reflects the new pessimism. Asked early this past week how they would rate economic conditions in the country today, just one in three- 34%- said they consider it good. That's down 10 percentage points from December, when 44% rated the economy good and 20 points lower than September when 54% said they thought economic conditions were good. Moreover, when asked to look ahead a year from now, those people willing to say things will get better are also dwindling in numbers. A thin majority of 55% said they expected economic conditions to be better by this time next year. Not bad on the surface. But looking back just two months to December, 65%— or two of three— believed that things would improve in a year. And going back six months to September, 71% expressed optimism for economic improvement. So the seeds of discontent are out there and they could set off a political firestorm for President Bush if economic conditions don't start getting better soon. Or more importantly, if the American people don't start feeling better soon. Regardless of what the statistics say about how good the economy might be getting, the American people have to feel it. And often, feelings lag behind numbers. Indeed, most people believe that the economy is in recession. Statistically it is not. Case in point: On Friday, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that the economy grew at a 1.4% rate in the final quarter of last year — twice as fast as the government first estimated. Major factors in the upward revision in the gross domestic product were stronger investment by businesses in building up stockpiles of unsold goods and a slight boost to consumer spending, the main force keeping the economy going. But while that report is interesting, and perhaps a source of hope that things aren't as bad as they seem, more tangible examples of economic improvement are needed — solid gains in the stock market, rehiring by plants that have been laying off workers, new business expansion. The USA TODAY poll further shows that nervousness about Iraq and a still-sluggish economy are taking a political toll on Bush: His job approval rating is 57%, his lowest since before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Surely, what happens with Iraq will be a major factor in the president's political fortunes next year, but if people continue to be pessimistic about the economy when Bush is in the midst of running for a second term, it will be difficult to be optimistic about his chances of winning.

问答题Directions: Translate the following text from English into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET2. By the year 2100, global temperatures are expected to rise by between 0.8 and 3.5 degree Celsius. That may not seem like much, but such an increase in temperature would cause a rise in sea levels large enough to put the lives of up to 100 million people at risk. For the first time in the scientific community, there is total agreement that the activity of humans is at least partly responsible for the problem—specifically the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which is released by the burning of wood, coal and petroleum products. Reducing harmful emission is just one area in which the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel is decidedly optimistic. In the short term it might not prove that difficult. Efficiency improvements alone could cut energy needs by as much as 30 percent at virtually no extra cost and, in developed countries, emission reductions of up to 60 percent "are technically feasible". In the longer term, harmful emissions will be reduced as the world changes over to cheaper, less environmentally damaging energy sources.
