二、Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension(总题数：0，分数：0.00) 三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：6.00)
For reasons yet to be fully understood, one out of ten human beings in the world is left-handed, and from one generation to the next, this ratio is roughly preserved. As we know, left-handedness cuts across socioeconomic, ethnic, and gender lines. Yet throughout history prominent figures in science—to say nothing of religion—have identified in left-handedness signs of viciousness or worse. In 1903, Italian physician Cesare Lombroso identified left-handedness as one of the degeneracy signs of the born criminals. Three years later, Dr. Wilhelm Fliess suggested that left-handedness was a reliable identification of homosexuality. And in 1937 British psychologist Cyril Burt declared left-handedness to be a mark of an ill-organized nervous system.
As demonstrated by all the \"therapeutic\" coercion that left-handed children were subjected to during the first half of the 20th century, these biases had more than just a theoretical impact. Yet even when this gauche predilection was being discouraged, handism was certainly never taken as seriously as racism or sexism now is. Perhaps it's the arbitrary nature of the trait that has militated against meaningful discrimination. After all, even when both parents are right-handed, there is still a 10 percent chance that they will bring a left-handed baby into the world. Moreover, a white baby born in Scaresdale is just as likely to be left-handed as a black baby in Harlem. Hence when the left-handed George Bush became President of the United States, it was hardly interpreted as a blow against prejudice. Nor was much attention paid to the fact that Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford were also southpaws.
（分数：6.00）
(1).Left-handedness is ______. A. a thing that is cultivated
B. a thing that occurs by pure chance C. a thing of genetic inheritance
D. a thing that occurs more in prominent figures（分数：1.20） A. B. √ C. D.
解析：从全文可知左撇子是先天的，所以A不正确。它在所有的社会，人种和性别中都有，并不是在杰出人物中更多，所以D不对。从第2段中用arbitrary(任意的)来修饰左撇子这个性状的本性，同时讲到即使父母都是惯用右手的，他们的孩子仍然有10%可能是左撇子，所以左撇子的发生纯属偶然，并非遗传。 (2).According to the passage, left-handedness ______. A. is discouraged but not discriminated against
B. has caused discrimination as serious as sexism and racism C. is a subject that has drawn more and more attention D. is an advantage in running for public office（分数：1.20） A. √ B. C. D.
解析：由第2段\"Yet even when this gauche predilection...against meaningful discrimination．\"可知，左撇子没有受到歧视，只是生活中有些气馁，所以选A。B和C明显不对，而D文中未提及。 (3).The word \"handism\" in Line 3 Paragraph 2 most probably means ______. A. being skillful with one's hands
B. quality of being convenient
C. discrimination against left-handed people
D. encouragement to use both hands instead of one（分数：1.20） A. B. C. √ D.
解析：由handism was certainly never taken as seriously as racism or sexism可知它是与racism和sexism类似的构词法，由上下文可知应选C，handism意思是对自己的手的熟练使用。 (4).The word \"southpaws\" at the end of the passage means ______. A. a boxer from the south
B. a politician from a southern state C. a person with extraordinarily large hands D. a left-handed person（分数：1.20） A. B. C. D. √
解析：文中最后说George Bush是left-handed，然后提到Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford were also southpaws，由此推测southpaws的意思也是惯用左手之人。
(5).Judging from the context, Scarsdale is a place inhabited by ______. A. white people B. black people C. mixed races D. rich people（分数：1.20） A. √ B. C. D.
解析：由第2段\"a white baby born in Scaresdale is just as likely to be left-handed as a black baby in Harlem\"可知Scaresdale是白人居住的地方，而Harlem是黑人居住的地方。
四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)
The law of private international tribunals with respect to conflicts of interest of arbitrators is quite extensive, albeit by no means uniform. It relates both to what will disqualify an arbitrator and to what the arbitrator must disclose during the selection process. Most national legal systems have statutory roles as to the types of interests, relationships, and experiences that disqualify an arbitrator. Not infrequently, the disqualifying factors are identical for arbitrators and judges, although they may treat domestic and international arbitration somewhat differently, and may indeed supplement the international roles with additional features. A closer look reveals that courts and arbitration agencies tend to apply the regulations relatively lightly, recognizing that arbitrators move in the highly interconnected world of affairs, and do not stand aloof from commerce as judges do. Accordingly, acquaintanceship with the parties and their counsel does not suffice to disqualify, whereas actual business or legal connections will. Inasmuch as judges do not seek more work, although arbitrators generally do, suspicions arise that an arbitrator's favor may incline to the party or counsel who has in the past and may again in the future provide employment.
The uncertainty in the field is at its most troubling when arbitrators are party-appointed. Some argue that such arbitrators should fulfill the same functions and satisfy the same qualifications as third-party arbitrators, others dispute any real claim to objectivity. The latter view has had considerable currency, particularly in the United States, where courts and drafters of state laws regard such advocates as pawns of the appointers. Imposing standards of neutrality, and disinterestedness on them would be futile.
It follows from this dichotomy between party-appointed and non-party-appointed arbitrators that opinion on the question of their nationality is also split. A party needs to be expected to choose a fellow national. This question of nationality is acute when one party to the arbitration is a governmental agency and one or more of the arbitrators are likewise nationals; a foreign enterprise contract calling for such arbitration may be foolhardy.
The slate is largely blank with respect to roles for the conduct of arbitrators outside the field of conflict of interests. Considering only the matter of exparte communications, American case law is astonishing lax, refusing to set aside awards where such communication obtained between an arbitrator and a party without the presence of the other party, thereby violating evidentiary rules requiring the attendance of both parties. The differences in views on this topic indicate how useful a set of guidelines might be.
（分数：6.00）
(1).The best title for this passage is ______. A. International Arbitrators: Causes and Solutions B. Arbitrators: Causes and Solutions C. Arbitrators: Problems in Practice
D. International Arbitrators and Conflicts of Interests（分数：1.00） A. B. C. √ D.
解析：[解析] 综观全文，通篇讲的是仲裁员自身的利益倾向对仲裁结果的影响以及仲裁员回避问题，因此C项为正确答案。
(2).The expression \"They may treat\" refers to ______. A. arbitrators and judges B. national legal systems C. experiences D. disqualifying factors（分数：1.00） A. √ B. C. D.
解析：[解析] 本题应联系上下文来解答。因为前一句说了for arbitrators and judges，所以这里的they指的是仲裁员和法官。因此A项为正确答案。 (3).Courts and agencies ______.
A. do not apply their regulations strictly B. often consider arbitrators as judges
C. understand the general relationship between businesses and arbitrators D. may be described by all of the above（分数：1.00） A. B. C. D. √
解析：[解析] 本题可参照文章第一段的“disqualifying factors are identical for arbitrators and judges”，又说到“courts and arbitration agencies tend to apply the regulations relatively lightly，recognizing that arbitrators...and do not stand aloof from commerce as judges do”，所以涵盖了A、B、C，因此正确答案为D。
(4).A third-party arbitrator is one who is chosen ______.
A. to supplement the two arbitrators chosen by the contending sides
B. to reach a final decision after the two arbitrators have submitted their decision
C. by someone not involved in the matter in dispute D. as a pawn of the appointers（分数：1.00） A. B. C. √ D.
解析：[解析] 本题应联系第二段上下文来解答。从中可知C项为正确答案。 (5).A foreign enterprise contract is a bad idea ______. A. in all cases
B. when each partner picks an arbitrator C. when third party arbitrators are involved
D. when a government agency is one side of the contract（分数：1.00） A. B. C. D. √
解析：[解析] 本题可参照第三段，从中可知D项为正确答案。 (6).\"Exparte communications\" refers to ______. A. something that cannot be determined by the text
B. all parties being present when matters involving them are discussed C. the requirement to set aside a decision D. impartiality（分数：1.00） A. B. √ C. D.
解析：[解析] 本题应联系上下文来解答。从中可知exparte communications讨论的是仲裁员在询问一方当事人时，另—方当事人也须在场，否则这样的信息不予采纳，因此B项为正确答案。
五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)
Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out Whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to \"think and concentrate.\" Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.
In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and nonsmokers performed equally well.
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters was transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers. In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.
\"As our tests became more complex,\" sums up Spilich, \"non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins.\" He predicts, \"smokers might perform adequately at many jobs until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if
something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity./
（分数：10.00）
(1).The purpose of George Spilich's experiment is ______.
A. to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers B. to show how smoking damages people's mental capacity C. to prove that smoking affects people's regular performance
D. to find out whether smoking helps people's short-term memory（分数：2.00） A. √ B. C. D.
解析：[解析] 参见文章第一段第二行。
(2).George Spilich's experiment was conducted in such a way as to ______. A. compel the subjects to separate major information from minor details B. put the subjects through increasingly complex tests C. check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers
D. register the prompt responses of the subjects（分数：2.00） A. B. √ C. D.
解析：[解析] 依据文章第二段开头，第三段开头、第四段、第五段“The fourth test requires people to...”和第六段“As our tests became more complex...”，说明测试项目越来越复杂。 (3).The word \"bested, (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ______. A. beat B. envied
C. caught up with D. made the best of（分数：2.00） A. √ B. C. D.
解析：[解析] 四个选项的意思分别为：A项“击败，战胜”；B项“妒忌”；C项“赶上”； D项“充分利用(机会和时间)”，该词出现的语境在第五段第二行，从该句的上下文可看出：“non-smokers”(不吸烟者)比“active smokers”表现好，“deprived smokers”要比测试前抽了一支烟的人表现要好。 (4).Which of the following statements is true?
A. Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers. B. Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.
C. Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks. D. Deprived smokers gage the slowest responses to the various tasks.（分数：2.00） A. B. C. √ D.
解析：[解析] 依据文章第二段第二行，在这个简单测试中，烟民、被剥夺抽烟权利的人和非吸烟者表现得一样好。说明在从事简单任务时，吸烟者并不比其他测试对象表现得更好。 (5).We can infer from the last paragraph that ______. A. smokers should not expect to become airline pilots B. smoking in emergency cases causes mental illness
C. no airline pilots smoke during flights
D. smokers may prove unequal to handling emergency cases（分数：2.00） A. B. C. D. √
解析：[解析] 依据文章第六段第四行可推断出D：吸烟者在处理紧急事件时将证明是不能胜任的。
六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：5.00)
One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. Its striking clamor dominates our lives. It shots at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers, waves to us from every page of the newspaper picks at our sleeves on the escalator, signals to us from the roadside billboards all day and flashes messages to us in coloured lights all night. It has forced on us a whole new conception of the successful man as a man no less than 20 % of whose mail consists of announcements of giant carpet sales. Advertising has been among England's biggest growth industries since the war, in terms of the ratio of money earnings to demonstrable achievement. Why all this fantastic expenditure? Perhaps the answers is that advertising saves the manufactures from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough 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 olevon ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness, if the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is clever.
Other manufacturers find advertising saves them changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged forever. If therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for how much better to change the image, the packet or tile pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.
The advertising man has to combine the qualities of the three most authoritative professions. Church, Bar, and Medicine, The great skill required of our priests, most highly developed in missionaries but present, indeed mandatory, in all, is the kill of getting people to believe in and contribute money to something which can never be logically proved. At the Bar an essential ability is that of presenting the most persuasive case you can to a jury of ordinary people, with emotional appeals masquerading as logical exposition, a case you do not necessarily have to believe in yourself, just one you have studiously avoided discovering to be false. As for medicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. Ellis apparently scientific approach enables his nations believe that he knows exactly what is wrong with them and exactly what they need to put them right, just as advertising does \"Run down? You need...\" \"No one will dance with you? A dab will make you popular.\"
Advertising men use statistics rather like a drunk used a lamp-post for support rather than illumination. They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement, \"As used by 90% of the actors who play doctors on television.\" Their engaging quality is that they enjoy having their latest ruses uncovered almost as much as anyone else.

七、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：6.00)
If Sustainable competitive advantage depends on work force skills, American firms have a problem. Human management is not traditionally seen as a central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill Acquisition is considered as individual responsibility. Labor is simply another force of production to be hired/rented at the lowest possible cost, which is a must as one buys raw material or equipment.
The lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen in the corporate pecking order. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer. By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human resource management is central-usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.
While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work force, in fact, they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional or managerial employees. And the limited investments that made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.
As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at the speed with which new equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
（分数：6.00）

（分数：1.00）

The Development of the Internet
With its rapid development, the Internet is playing a vital role in today's life. Nevertheless, it is a double-edge sword that has both advantages and disadvantages.
The Internet is one of the most powerful tools throughout the world. It is an International Database of information where you can find whatever is possible to be imagined. Personally, you can download a lot of helpful information and also many programs, games, other entertaining files. Shopping online has also become a huge success and is considered a great advantage of the Internet. No matter what people are seeking for, it can be found on the Internet. Besides, the Internet ranks as one of today's best business tools if it's used skillfully. Moreover, the most important is the communication programs that support you the ability to communicate with many people all over the world. However, this is also the point that many people blame the Internet for-less sociability. If you want to communicate with your friends, the only thing you have to do is to be on the Internet and send E-mail to or chat on line with them. Therefore, the time of your face-to-face communication with them becomes less and less. Another disadvantage of the Internet is about privacy. Electronic messages sent over the Internet can be easily snooped and tracked, revealing who is talking to whom and what they are talking about. Consequently, the Internet users will become victims of identity theft, one of the worst privacy violations with potentially devastating financial consequences.
Therefore, despite that the Internet makes our lives more convenient, you should not let it control your life, you have to control it. It is necessary to learn to schedule your time on the Internet so that you will spend it meaningfully.) 解析：
