Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)

Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.

Bosses Say “Yes” to Home Work

Rising costs of office space, time lost to stressful commuting, and a slow recognition that workers have lives beyond the office— all are strong arguments for letting staff work from home.

For the small business, there are additional benefits too— staff are more productive, and happier, enabling firms to keep their headcounts (员工数 ) and their recruitment costs to a minimum. It can also provide competitive advantage, especially when small businesses want to attract new staff but don t have the budget to offer huge salaries.

While company managers have known about the benefits for a long time, many have done little about it, sceptical of whether they could trust their employees to work to full capacity without supervision, or concerned about the additional expenses teleworking policies might incur as staff start charging their home phone bills to the business.

Yet this is now changing. When communications provider Inter Tel researched the use of remote working solutions among small and medium sized UK businesses in April this year, it found that 28% more companies claimed to have introduced flexible working practices than a year ago.

The UK network of Business Links confirms that it too has seen a growing interest in remote working solutions from small businesses seeking its advice, and claims that as many as 60-70% of the businesses that come through its doors now offer some form of remote working support to their workforces.

Technology advances, including the widespread availability of broadband, are making the introduction of remote working a piece of cake.

“If systems are set up properly, staff can have access to all the resources they have in the office wherever they have an internet connection,” says Andy Poulton, e business

advisor at Business Link for Berkshire and Wiltshire. “There are some very exciting developments which have enabled this.”

One is the availability of broadband everywhere, which now covers almost all of the country (BT claims that, by July, 99.8% of its exchanges will be broadband enabled, with alternative plans in place for even the most remote exchanges). “This is the enabler,” Poulton says.

Yet while broadband has come down in price too, those service providers targeting the business market warn against consumer services masquerading (伪 装 ) as business friendly broadband.

“Broadband is available for as little as ￡ 15 a month, but many businesses fail to appreciate the hidden costs of such a service,” says Neil Stephenson, sales and marketing director at Onyx Internet, an internet service provider based in the north east of England. “Providers offering broadband for rock bottom prices are notorious for poor service, with regular breakdowns and heavily congested (拥堵的 ) networks. It is always advisable for businesses to look beyond the price tag and look for a business only provider that can offer more reliability, with good support.” Such services don t cost too much — quality services can be found for upwards of ￡ 30 a month. www.cet6.net

The benefits of broadband to the occasional home worker are that they can access email in real time, and take full advantage of services such as internet based backup or even internet based phone services. www.cet6.net

Internet based telecoms, or VoIP (Voice over IP) to give it its technical title, is an interesting tool to any business supporting remote working. Not necessarily because of the promise of free or reduced price phone calls (which experts point out is misleading for the average business), but because of the sophisticated voice services that can be exploited by the remote worker— facilities such as voicemail and call forwarding, which provide a continuity of the company image for customers and business partners.

By law, companies must “consider seriously” requests to work flexibly made by a parent with a child under the age of six, or a disabled child under 18. It was the need to accommodate employees with young children that motivated accountancy firm Wright Vigar to begin promoting teleworking recently. The company, which needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure (基础设施 ) to provide connectivity with a new, second office, decided to introduce support for remote working at the same time.

Marketing director Jack O Hern explains that the company has a relatively young workforce, many of whom are parents: “One of the tr iggers was when one of our tax managers returned from maternity leave. She was intending to work part time, but could only manage one day a week in the office due to childcare. By offering her the ability to work from home, we have doubled her capacity— now she works a day a week from home, and a day in the office. This is great for her, and for us as we retain someone highly qualified.”

For Wright Vigar, which has now equipped all of its fee earners to be able to work at maximum productivity when away from the offices (whether that s from home, or while on the road), this strategy is not just about saving on commute time or cutting them loose from the office, but enabling them to work more flexible hours that fit around their home life.

O Hern says: “Although most of our work is client based and must fit around this, we can t see any reason why a parent can t be on hand to deal with something important at home, if they have the ability to complete a project later in the day.”

Supporting this new way of working came with a price, though. Although the firm was updating its systems anyway, the company spent 10-15% more per user to equip them with a laptop rather than a PC, and about the same to upgrade to a server that would enable remote staff to connect to the company networks and access all their usual resources.

Although Wright Vigar hasn t yet quantified the business benefits, it claims that, in addition to being able to retain key staff with young families, it is able to save fee earners a substantial amount of “dead” time in their working days.

That staff can do this without needing a fixed telephone line provides even more efficiency savings. “With Wi Fi (fast, wireless internet connections) popping up all over the place, even on trains, our fee earners can be productive as they travel, and between meetings, instead of having to kill time at the shops,” he adds.

The company will also be able to avoid the expense of having to relocate staff to temporary offices for several weeks when it begins disruptive office renovations soon. Financial recruitment specialist Lynne Hargreaves knows exactly how much her firm has saved by adopting a teleworking strategy, which has involved handing her company s data management over to a remote hosting company, Datanet, so it can be accessible by all the company s consultants over broadband internet connections. It has enabled the company to dispense with its business premises altogether, following the realisation that it just didn t need them any more. “The main motivation behind adopting home working was to increase my own productivity, as a single mum to an 11 year old,” says Hargreaves. “But I soon realised that, as most of our business is done on the phone, email and at off site meetings, we didn t need our offices at all. We re now saving ￡ 16,000 a year on rent, plus the cost of utilities, not to mention what would have been spent on commuting.”

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)(25 minutes)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.

Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.

Many countries have made it illegal to chat into a hand held mobile phone while driving. But the latest research further confirms that the danger lies less in what a motorist s hands do when he takes a call than in what the conversation does to his brain. Even using a “hands free” device can divert a driver s attention to an alarming extent.

Melina Kunar of the University of Warwick, and Todd Horowitz of the Harvard Medical School ran a series of experiments in which two groups of volunteers had to pay attention and respond to a series of moving tasks on a computer screen that were reckoned equivalent in difficulty to driving. One group was left undistracted while the other had to engage in a conversation using a speakerphone. As Kunar and Horowitz report, those who were making the equivalent of a hands free call had an average reaction time 212 milliseconds slower than those who were not. That, they calculate, would add 5.7 metres to the braking distance of a car travelling at 100kph. They also found that the group using the hands free kit made 83% more errors in their tasks than those who were not talking.

To try to understand more about why this was, they tried two further tests. In one, members of a group were asked simply to repeat words spoken by the caller. In the other, they had to think of a word that began with the last letter of the word they had just heard. Those only repeating words performed the same as those with no distraction, but those with the more complicated task showed even worse reaction times — an average of 480 milliseconds extra delay. This shows that when

people have to consider the information they hear carefully, it can impair their driving ability significantly.

Punishing people for using hand held gadgets while driving is difficult enough, even though they can be seen from outside the car. Persuading people to switch their phones off altogether when they get behind the wheel might be the only answer. Who knows, they might even come to enjoy not having to take calls.

47. Carrying on a mobile phone conversation while one is driving is considered dangerous because it seriously distracts .

48. In the experiments, the two groups of volunteers were asked to handle a series of moving tasks which were considered .

49. Results of the experiments show that those who were making the equivalent of a hands free call took to react than those who were not.

51. The author believes persuasion, rather than , might be the only way to stop people from using mobile phones while driving.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

There is nothing like the suggestion of a cancer risk to scare a parent, especially one of the over educated, eco conscious type. So you can imagine the reaction when a recent USA Today investigation of air quality around the nation s schools singled out those in the smugly(自鸣得 意的) green village of Berkeley, Calif., as being among the worst in the country. The city s public high school, as well as a number of daycare centers, preschools, elementary and middle schools, fell in the lowest 10%. Industrial pollution in our town had supposedly turned students into living science experiments breathing in a laboratory s worth of heavy metals like manganese, chromium and nickel each day. This in a city that requires school cafeterias to serve organic meals. Great, I thought, organic lunch, toxic campus.

Since December, when the report came out, the mayor, neighborhood activists(活跃分子) and various parent teacher associations have engaged in a fierce battle over its validity: over the guilt of the steel casting factory on the western edge of town, over union jobs versus children s health and over what, if anything, ought to be done. With all sides presenting their own experts armed with conflicting scientific studies, whom should parents believe? Is there truly a threat here, we asked one another as we dropped off our kids, and if so, how great is it? And how does it compare with the other, seemingly perpetual health scares we confront, like panic over lead in synthetic athletic fields? Rather than just another weird episode in the town that brought you protesting environmentalists, this latest drama is a trial for how today s parents perceive risk, how we try to keep our kids safe— whether it s possible to keep them safe— in what feels like an increasingly threatening world. It raises the question of what, in our time, “safe” could even mean.“There s no way around the uncertainty,” says Kimberly Thompson, president of Kid Risk, a

nonprofit group that studies children s health. “That means your choices can matter, but it also means you aren t going to know if they do.” A 2004 report in the journal Pediatrics explained that nervous parents have more to fear from fire, car accidents and drowning than from toxic chemical exposure. To which I say: Well, obviously. But such concrete hazards are beside the point. It s the dangers parents can t — and may never — quantify that occur all of sudden. That s why I ve rid my cupboard of microwave food packed in bags coated with a potential cancer causing substance, but although I ve lived blocks from a major fault line(地质断层 ) for more than 12 years, I still haven t bolted our bookcases to the living room wall.

52. What does a recent investigation by USA Today reveal?

A) Heavy metals in lab tests threaten children s health in Berkeley.

B) Berkeley residents are quite contented with their surroundings.

C) The air quality around Berkeley s school campuses is poor.

D) Parents in Berkeley are over sensitive to cancer risks their kids face.

C) They didn t know who to believe.D) They weren t convinced of the results.

55. What is the view of the 2004 report in the journal Pediatrics?

A) It is important to quantify various concrete hazards.

B) Daily accidents pose a more serious threat to children.

C) Parents should be aware of children s health hazards.

Passage Two

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

Crippling health care bills, long emergency room waits and the inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily.

Primary care should be the backbone of any health care system. Countries with appropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and cost. The U.S. takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist rather than the primary care physician.

A recent study analyzed the providers who treat Medicare beneficiaries(老年医保受惠人) . The startling finding was that the average Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctors— two primary care physicians and five specialists — in a given year. Contrary to popular belief, the more physicians taking care of you don t guarantee better care. Actually, increasing fragmentation of care results in a corresponding rise in cost and medical errors.

How did we let primary care slip so far? The key is how doctors are paid. Most physicians are paid whenever they perform a medical service. The more a physician does, regardless of quality or outcome, the better he s reimbursed (返还费用 ). Moreover, the amount a physician receives

leans heavily toward medical or surgical procedures. A specialist who performs a procedure in a 30 minute visit can be paid three times more than a primary care physician using that same 30 minutes to discuss a patient s disease. Combine this fact with annual government threats to indiscriminately cut reimbursements, physicians are faced with no choice but to increase quantity to boost income.

Primary care physicians who refuse to compromise quality are either driven out of business or to cash only practices, further contributing to the decline of primary care.

Medical students are not blind to this scenario. They see how heavily the reimbursement deck is stacked against primary care. The recent numbers show that since 1997, newly graduated U.S. medical students who choose primary care as a career have declined by 50%. This trend results in emergency rooms being overwhelmed with patients without regular doctors.

How do we fix this problem?

It starts with reforming the physician reimbursement system. Remove the pressure for primary care physicians to squeeze in more patients per hour, and reward them for optimally (最佳地 ) managing their diseases and practicing evidence based medicine. Make primary care more attractive to medical students by forgiving student loans for those who choose primary care as a career and reconciling the marked difference between specialist and primary care physician salaries.

We re at a point where primary care is needed more than ever. Within a few years, the first wave of the 76 million Baby Boomers will become eligible for Medicare. Patients older than 85, who need chronic care most, will rise by 50% this decade.

Who will be there to treat them?

57. The author s chief concern about the current U.S. health care system is .

A) the inadequate training of physiciansB) the declining number of doctors

C) the shrinking primary care resourcesD) the ever rising health care costs

58. We learn from the passage that people tend to believe that .

A) the more costly the medicine, the more effective the cure

B) seeing more doctors may result in more diagnostic errors

C) visiting doctors on a regular basis ensures good health

D) the more doctors taking care of a patient, the better

59. Faced with the government threats to cut reimbursements indiscriminately, primary care physicians have to .

A) increase their income by working overtimeB) improve their expertise and service

C) make various deals with specialistsD) see more patients at the expense of quality

60. Why do many new medical graduates refuse to choose primary care as their career?

A) They find the need for primary care declining.

B) The current system works against primary care.

C) Primary care physicians command less respect.

D) They think working in emergency rooms tedious.

61. What suggestion does the author give in order to provide better health care?

A) Bridge the salary gap between specialists and primary care physicians.

B) Extend primary care to patients with chronic diseases.

C) Recruit more medical students by offering them loans.

D) Reduce the tuition of students who choose primary care as their major.

Section A

短对话(11~18)

11

W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. It?s located in a quiet

building and it?s close to bus lines.

M: That maybe true. But look at it, it?s awful, the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn

and the stove is ancient.

Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

12

M: The pictures we took at the botanical garden should be ready tomorrow. W: I can?t wait to see them, I?m wondering if the shots I took are as good as I thought. Q: What is the woman eager to know?

13

W: The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you have it fixed by next Tuesday? M: Let me see, I need to find a handle that matches but that shouldn?t take too long.

Q: What does the man mean?

14

M: This truck looks like what I need but I?m worried about maintenance. For us it?ll have

to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures. W: We have several models that are especially adaptive for extreme conditions. Would you

like to see them?

Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

15

M: I think your boss would be very upset when he gets your letter of resignation. W: That may be so. But in the letter, I just told him frankly I could no longer live with

his poor management and stupid decisions.

Q: What do we learn about the woman?

16

W I?d like to exchange the shirt. I?ve learned that the person bought it for allergic to

wool.

M Maybe we can find something in cotton or silk. Please come this way. Q;What does the women want to do,

17

M: Excuse me, Miss,Did anyone happen to turn in a new handbag? You know, it?s a birthday

gift for my wife.

W: Let me see. Oh, we?ve got quite a lot of women?s bags here. Can you give me more detailed

information, such as the color, the size and the trademark?

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

18

M What are you going to do with the old house you are in heritage from your grandfather? W I once intended to sell it, but now, I?m thinking of turning it into a guest house, because it's still a solid structure.

Q: What does the man plan to do with his old house?

长对话(19~25)

W: When you write a novel, do you know where you?re going, Dr. James?

M: Yes, you must, really, if you?re writing the classical detective story, because it must

be so carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have

diagrams. It doesn?t mean to say that I always get it right, but I do plan before I begin

writing. But what is so fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing.

It seems to me that creative writing is a process of revelation, really, rather than

of creativity in the ordinary sense.

W: When you?re planning the basic structure, do you like to go away to be sure that you?re

by yourself?

M: I need to be by myself certainly, absolutely. I can?t even bare anybody else in the house.

I don?t mind much where I am as long as I?ve got enough space to write, but I need to

be completely alone.

W: Is that very important to you?

M: Oh, yes. I?ve never been lonely in all my life.

W: How extraordinary! Never?

M: No, never.

W: You?re very lucky. Someone once said that there?s a bit of ice at the heart of every writer.

M: Yes. I think this is true. The writer can stand aside from experience and look at it,

watch it happening. There is this ?detachment? and I realize that there are obviously

experiences which would overwhelm everyone. But very often, a writer can appear to stand

aside, and this detachment makes people feel there?s a bit of ice in the heart.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19. What is the key to write a good classical detective story according to the man? 20. What does the man mainly need when working on a book?

21. What does the man say about writers?

W: There is an element there about competition then, isn?t there? Because British railways

are a nationalized industry. There?s only one railway system in the country. If you don?t

like a particular kind of big beans, you can go and buy another. But if you don't like

a particular railway, you can?t go and use another.

M: Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didn?t have monopoly, you

wouldn?t be able to do the things you do. Well, I don?t think we do anything deliberately

to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act

came in, we were nationalized.

W: Do you think that?s a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think,

to be nationalized?

M: Oh I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of transport are all around. Let?s face

the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that. W: So what are you saying then? Is it if the railways happen being nationalized, they would

simply have disappeared?

M: Oh, I think they would have. They?re disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways

lose 1 billion ponds a year. The German railways, 2 billion ponds a year. But you see,

those governments are preparing to pour money into the transport system to keep it going. W: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes. On the one hand, you?re trying not to lose

too much money. And on the other hand, you?ve got to provide the best service.

M: Yes, you are right.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

22. What does the woman say about British railways?

23. What do some people who write to the man complain about?

24. What does the man say threatens the existence of railways?

25. What does the man say about railways in other countries?

Section B

Passage One

Among global warming?s most frightening threats is the prediction is that the polar ice-caps will melt, raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded. Scientists agree that key player in this scenario is the West Antarctic ice sheet, a Brazil-size mass of frozen water that is much as 7000 feet thick. Unlike floating ice shelves which have little impact on sea level when they break up, the ice sheet is anchored to bedrock will blow the sea surface. Surrounded by open ocean, it is also vulnerable, but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is. Now, new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years, a period when global temperatures probably were not significantly higher than they are today. And the ice sheet was assumed to have been stable. In geological time, a million years is recent history. The proof, which was published last week in Science, comes from a team of scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden and California Institute of Technology who drew deep holes near the edge of ice sheet. Within samples collected from the solid substances lying beneath the ice. They found fossils of microscopic marine plants which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice. As Herman Engleheart, a co-author from the California Institute of Technology says, ?the

West Antarctic ice sheet disappear once and can disappear again.?

26. What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage? 27. What did scientists disagree on?

28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet? 29. What the scientists? latest findings suggest?

Passage Two

It's always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself.

Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL link to the picture is and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.

Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests

they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.

Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service at the same time. But because changes aren't reflected across the content delivery networks immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.

In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time", though obviously that time can vary considerably.

30. What does the speaker ask us to try out?

31. What accounts for the failure of some websites to remove photos immediately? 32. When will the unwanted data eventually disappear from Facebook according to the company?

Passage Three

Enjoying an iced coffee? Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards, with a cancer charity warning that some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner.

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) conducted a survey of iced coffees sold by some popular chains in Britain including Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee to gauge the calories as studies increasingly link obesity with cancer.

The worst offender - a coffee from Starbucks -- had 561 calories. Other iced coffees contained more than 450 calories and the majority had an excess of 200.

Health experts advise that the average woman should consume about 2,000 calories a day and a man about 2,500 calories to maintain a healthy weight. Dieters aim for 1,000 to 1,500 calories a day.

"The fact that there is an iced coffee on the market with over a quarter of a woman's daily calories allowance is alarming," Dr Rachel Thompson, science programme manager at London-based WCRF, said in a widely-reported statement.

"This is the amount of calories you might expect to have in an evening meal, not in a drink."

The WCRF has estimated that 19,000 cancers a year in Britain could be prevented if people lost their excess weight with growing evidence that excess body fat increases the risk of various cancers.

"If you are having these types of coffee regularly then they will increase the chances of you becoming overweight, which in turn increases your risk of developing cancer, as well as other diseases such as heart disease." she added.

33. What warning did some health experts give?

34. What does the author suggest people do after they have an iced coffee? 35. What could British people expect if they maintain a normal body weight according to the WCRF?

Section C

Psychologists are finding that hope plays a surprisingly vital role in giving people

a measurable advantage in rounds as diverse as academic achievement, bearing up in tough jobs, and coping with tragic illness. And, by contrast, the loss of hope, is turning out to be a stronger sign that a person may commit suicide than other factors long thought to be more likely risks. ?Hope has proven a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far,? said Doctor Charles R. Snyder, a psychologist, who has devised a scale to assess how much hope a person has. For example, in research with 3920 college students, Doctor Snyder and his colleagues found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first semester was a more accurate predictor of their college grades, than were their SAT scores or their grade point averages in high school, the two measures most commonly used to predict college performance. ?Students with high hope set themselves higher goals

and know how to work to attain them,? Doctor Snyder said. ?When you compare students of

equivalent intelligence and past academic achievements, what sets them apart is hope.? In

devising a way to assess hope scientifically, Doctor Snyder went beyond the simple notion that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. ?That notion is not

concrete enough and it blurs two key components of hope,? Doctor Snyder said, ?Having hope

means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.?

Due Attention Should Be Given To the Study of Chinese

With China ’ s opening up, interculturalcommunication has become more and more frequent between Chinese and foreigners. A good command of at least one foreign language has increasingly been an essential skill for us. People, especially the youths, pay much more attention to foreign language acquisitionthan Chinese study. Various factors can account forthis situation. First of all, a good command of a foreign language may help young people to get a good job while Chinese skills may be of no significancein one ’ s job hunting and even their career. Consequently, some students may not treasure Chinese language any longer. Apart from that, nowadays fewer and fewer universities stimulate Chinese language study in campus, which has caused it to be marginalized. Under this circumstance, Chinese language becomes less and less popular in universities. It is clear that professors in the field of Chinese study are not so respected than they were before.

In view of this situation, effective measures should be taken to change it. First, the whole society should emphasizethe importance of Chinese language in order to make it clear that it is one indispensablepart of Chinese culture and Chinese race. Second, schools should promote Chinese language study and research. In addition, we individuals should contribute our own efforts to the study and protectionof Chinese language. To conclude, we should pay great attention to Chinese language, since the importance of it is never too great to be exaggerated.
