22、our will find questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and DYour should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheetTask 1Though it is merely 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at l

23、east 25 percent of the nations wealth. This has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”-families that have been wealthy for several generations-an aristocracy of birth and wealth. “There names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable m

24、embers of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand life, drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower-upper class is the “ new rich”. Although

25、 they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled (努力 to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to maketheir money, and who tend to look dow

26、n upon the new rich.However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting , and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate wi

27、th each other, and marry their own kind-all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad,

28、 as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.46. All the following statements are true except that _.A. the upper class owns at least a quarter of the countrys wealthB. the “old ri

29、ch” enjoy higher prestige than the “new rich”C. the “old rich” isolate themselves and lead a lonely lifeD. the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origin47. The “old rich” get richer_.A. through the Social RegisterB. by investing their inherited wealthC. through their reputationD. by collecting pai

30、nting and sculptures48. The reason why the “old rich” look down upon the “new rich” is that_.A. the former are wealthier than the latterB. the latter sweat themselves to make moneyC. the “old rich” are conscious of being members of the upper classD. the “new rich” have no interest in arts49. The upp

31、er class is also called the out-of-sight class because_.A. they dont communicate with any peopleB. they spend most of their time abroadC. they move frequently from the general publicD. they keep away from the general public50. We can learn from the passage that _.A. the upper class is powerful and i

32、nfluentialB. the upper class collects rare books to make moneyC. the “old rich” make much more money than the “new rich”D. the upper class holds all top government positionsTask 2We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the

33、DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family ( immediate and extended, tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy(宗谱学can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigrees(家谱based on such genetic

34、markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragicevents such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil War in 1921

35、or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000DNA samples from individuals all over the world. There individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at lest fou

36、r generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday

37、be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. “For example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but n

38、o written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers (in this case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome(染色体,”explains Ugo Perego, a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.51. People in a lar

39、ge area may possess the same DNA thread because_.A. DNA is characteristic of a regionB. they are beyond doubt of common ancestryC. DNA strand has the ability to identify individualsD. their unique identification can be provided via DNA52. The possible research of family trees is based on the fact th

40、at_.A. genetics has achieved a breakthroughB. genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed nowC. each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to othersD. We can use DNA to prove how distant an individual is to a family , a group or a population53. The Molecular

41、Genealogy Research Group is building a database for the purpose of _.A. offering assistance in working out genealogy-related problemsB. solving many issues without relying on traditional written recordsC. providing a pedigree chart of at least four generations in the worldD. confirming the assumptio

42、n that all individuals are of the same origin54. If two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor,_.A. we can decide according to their family treeB. we can find the truth from their genetic markersC. we can compare the differences in their Y chromosomeD. we can look for written reco

43、rds to prove their relationship55. Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?A. We are a walking, living, breathing record of our ancestors.B. Many American slaves did not know who their ancestors were.C. An adopted child generally lacks enough information to prove his identity.D. M

44、olecular genealogy can be used to prove a relationship between individuals.Task 3Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy dri

45、ving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible. What was Adam Smiths contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers p

46、racticing their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out , cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantage which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let o

47、ne be responsible for preparing the metal, another for stretching and cutting, another for shaping, and another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labor; in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialization could solve t

48、he problem of poverty and want. What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the 19th century. British trains and railway lines spread out like a spiders web

49、across the world. British ships are used to carry the cargoes the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another. The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous p

50、roduction. What were called mass-production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. The pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment. 56. We s

51、hould be granted to Adam Smith because_. A. his ideas made it possible for people to improve their lives B. he invented a more efficient way of pin making C. he started the industrial revolution D. he brought to people a high standard of living 57.

According to the passage we know that the Industrial Revolution is responsible for the following results except_. A. prosperity B. crime C. une

54、mployment D. over-crowdedness 60. What is the best title for this passage? A. The Theory of Division of Labor and Its Significance B. The Industrial Revolution and Its Significance C. The Causes of Industrial Revolution D. Adam Smith, the Economist and Philosopher Task 4 Directions: The following is

55、 a business letter. After reading it, you should answer each of the 5 questions(No.61 to No. 65 in more than 3 words. The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. Last Decembers earthquake in the Iranian city of Barn took a huge death toll- roughly 40,000 people-

56、 largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud-brick buildings. If a group of researchers in India are successful, the next earthquake might not be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing using a cheap, universal material in India: bamboo. They desi

57、gned a model house built around waterproof of bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo reinforced concrete walls. To test the structure, the engineers, sponsored by the U.K. Department of International Development, took it to the Earthquake Department and Vibration Research Center in Bangalore, which has an advanced earthquake simulator. The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7.8 on th
