二、阅读理解（3’x15=45’）

Passage 1

The picnics, speeches and parades of today’s Labor Day were all part of the first celebration held in New York City in 1882. Its promoter was an Irish-American labor leader named Peter J. McGuire. A carpenter by trade, McGuire had worked since the age of 11, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners(UBCJ).

Approaching the City’s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud(赞许) “the industrial spirit—the great vital force of every nation” .On September 5 his suggestion bore fruit, as estimated 10,000 workers, many of them ignoring their bosses’ warnings, left work to march from Union square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by 1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday.

The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers’ respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor.. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of “progress and poverty”. In a society in which factory owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feeling ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to “wage slavery” and anarchists(无政府主义) singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite (炸药)，middle-of –the-roaders like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.

11. Judging from the passage, McGuire was________.

A. a moderate labor leader

B. an extreme-anarchist in the labor movement

C. a devoted socialist fighting against exploitation of man by man

D. a firm anti-capitalist demanding the elimination(解放)of wage slavery

12. We can see from the first paragraph that the first Labor Day march_________.

A. immediately won nationwide support

B. involved workers from 30 states

C. was opposed by many factory owners

D. was organized by the UBCJ

13. Which of the following is the key factor in the immediate approval of Labor as a national holiday?\

A.The lawmakers’ respect for the workers.

B.The workers’ determination to have a holiday of their own.

C.The socialists’ demands for though reform.

D.The politicians’ fear of the workers’ anger.

14.We learn from the passage that the establishment of Labor Day________.

A. was accepted by most bosses as a compromise

B. marked a turning point in the workers’ struggle for most rights

C．indicated the improvement of the workers’ welfare

D. signaled the end of “wage slavery”

15 McGuire proposed Labor Day in order to_______.

A. draw people’s attention to the striking contrast between the rich and the poor

B. make prominent the important role of the working class in society

C. win for the workers the right to shorten working hours

D. expose the exploitation of the workers by their bosses

Passage 2

New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a “global village ”where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link, And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.

Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.

Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being“out of sight and out of mind”.He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent(普遍的).

Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications. Even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.

English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language.. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.

The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.

16. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?

A. Critical B. Prejudiced C. Indifferent D. Positive

17. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment. Business people________.

A. have to get familiar with modern technology

B. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations

C. are attaching more importance to their overseas business

D. are eager to work overseas

18. In this passage.“out of sight and out of mind”(Line2.para3)probably means_____.

A. being unable to think properly for lack of insight

B. being totally out of touch with business at home

C. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad

D. leaving all care and worry behind

19. According to the passage. An important consideration of international corporations in employing people today is _______.

A. connection with businesses overseas

B. ability to speak the client’s language

C. technical know-how

D. business experience

20. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can____.

A. better control the whole negotiation process

Passage 3

Stress may be defined as the response of the body to any demand. Whenever people experience something pleasant or unpleasant. We say they are under stress. We call the pleasant kind“eustress(n.良性压力,愉快的压力)”and the unpleasant kind “distress”.

People sometimes compare our lives with that of the cavemen(穴居人)，who didn’t have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the cavemen worried about being eaten by a bear or about dying of hunger- - - things that few people worry about today. It’s not that people suffer more stress today. It’s just that they think they do.

It is unbelievable that anyone should have no stress at all. Most people who are ambitious(有雄心的)and want to accomplish something, live no stress .They need it. But excessive stress is by all means harmful. Worse, chronic(长期的) exposure to stress over long time may cause more serious diseases and may actually shorten one’s life.

The most frequent causes of distress in man are psychological- - -lack of adaptability(适应的)，not having a code of behavior. So the secret of coping with stress is not to do what you like to do and what you were made to do, at your own rate. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to behave in various situations. The most important thing is to have a code of life, to know how to live.

21. The modern man is suffering from______.

A. the same stress as the cavemen B. less stress than the cavemen

A. do things at one’s own rate B. a normal state for everyone

C. an example of human experience D. a disease in one’s life

24. The best way to deal with stress is to __________.

A. do things at one’s own rate B. try to lengthen our lift

C. become ambitious in business D. get more eustress and meet less distress

三、 简答题（2’x5=10’）

Scientists believe that 4.5 billion years ago, Mars and Earth began their existence under similar conditions. During the first billion years, liquid water… in contrast to ice …, was abundant on the surface of Mars. This is an indication that Mars was much warmer at that time. Mars also had a thicker atmosphere of carbon dioxide (CO2). Many scientists think it is possible that life began under these favorable conditions. After all, Earth developed an atmosphere which is rich in oxygen and an ozone layer. Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen. The ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet light from the Sun. while life not only began on Earth, it also survived and became more complex. In contrast, Mars lost its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and ultraviolet radiation intensified(加剧). The planet eventually grew colder, and its water frozen.

In 1976 two American spacecrafts landed on Mars and performed four experiments. Three experiments tested for biological activity in the soil. Unfortunately, these tests did not lead to any definite results. The fourth experiment looked for any evidence of life, dead or alive, but found none. Scientists are planning another investigation of Mars. They want to search for fossils, the ancient remains of life. If life ever existed on Mars. future mission may find records of it under sand or in the ice. Even if further mission discovers no evidence of past or present life on Mars, the new mission may clarify our understanding of how life begins. Scientists will better understand the conditions that are necessary for the survival of life on Mars or in the universe.

60. How old is Earth according to this passage?

About____________.

61. Was Mars warmer or colder when it was less than one billion years old than now?

It was______________.

62. Why do many scientists believe that it was possible for life to begin on Mars during the first billion years of its existence?

63. What was the result of the fourth experiment?

The fourth experiment looked for any evidence of life, dead or alive, but found____________.

四、段落翻译

65. 将下面的段落翻译成汉语，译文写在答题卡上相应的位置。（18分）

Advertising has among English’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason

is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without adding customer appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors .So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of marking it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that if confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.
