Roads were paved to allow
14、 “windshield visitors“ to experience the grandeur of nature without leaving their cars, and a 【22】 number of hotels and grocery stores were permitted to open 【23】 the park boundaries. Now this trend is changing. Plans have been made to 【24】 the parks to their natural condition as much as possible. T
15、he objective of such a move would be to secure the preservation of the parks for future generations, 【25】 allowing present-day visitors to experience pure wilderness, 【26】 from any obvious signs of civilization an opportunity which is quickly disappearing in the twentieth century. 【27】 plans call on

Many old firms was replaced by a limited liability
22、 company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic fou
23、nders. It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for the benefit of shareholders, were very unlike old family business. Meanwhile the great municipalities went into
24、 business to supply lighting, trams and other services to the taxpayers. The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class,
25、 an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. During the nineteenth century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being developed b
26、y British capital, and British shareholders were thus enriched by the worlds movement towards industrialization Towns like Bournemouth and Eastbourne sprang up to house large “comfortable“ classes who had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of d
27、rawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholders meeting to dictate their orders to the management. On the other hand “shareholding“ meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the later Victorians for the highest purpose of a great civilization. The “shareholders“ as such had no k
28、nowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of employees in the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labour was not good. he paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relation with the workers and their demands, but even he had seldom familiar
29、personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business. Indeed the mere size of operations and the numbers of workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organiza
30、tion of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies who employed them. The cruel discipline of the strike and lookout taught the two parties to respect each others strength and understand the value of fair negotiation. （分
31、数：1.00）(1).The author says that old family firms（分数：0.20）A.were ruined by the younger generations.B.failed for lack of individual initiative.C.lacked efficiency compared with modem companies.D.were able to supply adequate services to taxpayers.(2).The growth of limited liability companies resulted i
32、n（分数：0.20）A.the separation of capital from management.B.the ownership of capital by managers.C.the emergence of capital and labor as two classes.D.the participation of shareholders in land ownership.(3).The text indicates that（分数：0.20）A.some countries developed quickly because of the emergence of th
33、e limited liability company.B.the tide of industrialization would wide benefited British shareholders greatly.C.shareholders contributed a lot to the fast growth of the British economy.D.the system of shareholding impaired the management of modem companies.(4).We learn from the text that（分数：0.20）A.s

35、 be very critical of（分数：0.20）A.family firm owners.B.shareholders.C.managers.D.landowners.In recent decades the so-called Southeast Asian “tigers“ have rivaled the western “lions“ for stock cliches that make economic headlines. The myth of American economic hegemony over Asia in the imposing and patr
36、iarchal figure of Uncle Sam has provided frequent political grist for Southeast Asian political leaders, particularly Malaysias Prime Minister Mahathir. He has attempted to forge an international reputation as a snarling tiger, but lately sounds more like a barnyard dog whining at shadows. Without d
37、emeaning in any way the remarkable achievements of the newly developing economies of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, these nations at times appear to be their own worst enemies. This is often exemplified by Dr. Mahathir, who rails at Western bogey whenever an international or domestic crisis provi
38、des an opportunity. To be more specific, the recent devaluation of the Philippine and Thai currencies, and the subsequent pressure on the Malaysian currency has inspired Dr. Mahathir to launch an all-out attack on the West as the source of the problem. He even alleges that the United States has deli
39、berately destabilized Southeast Asian economies in revenge for these nations, pandering to the military rule in Myanmar, an action which the United States seems to want censored rather than rewarded. But by resorting to such scapegoat, instead of accepting even a bit responsibility, the Prime Minist
40、er may undermine the future success of the region and Malaysia in particular. Upon further questioning, Dr. Mahathir narrowed his attack to one wealthy individual, the well-known philanthropist, Mr. George Soros, whose opposition to Myanmars admission to ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations
41、) Mahathir found particularly galling. The logical fallacies that underlie such conspiracy theories do not help Malaysia address the serious issues of economic overheating that experts have been warning about for all these difficult periods, which include large deficits and low savings to debt ratio
42、s. In fact, the recent dramatic drop in Malaysias stock market and currency has led Dr. Mahathir to reverse his initial approach to the crisis. He even announces measures that at least imply he is quite aware of excesses in his own administrations spending policies that have contributed to this cris
43、is of confidence. In the end, this kind of reaction undermines the esteem that Dr. Mahathirs enlightened leadership has justly earned. （分数：1.00）(1).It is implied in the first paragraph that Dr. Mahathir_.（分数：0.20）A.has correctly identified the financial problem in AsiaB.tries to manipulate anti-West
44、ern actions for political gainsC.detests the U. S. s controlling over the regional economiesD.believes in the effect of the ghostly influence from the West(2).The author of this essay seems to suggest that_.（分数：0.20）A.the devaluation of Malaysias currency is due to an American plotB.the Asian Crisis
45、 is the result of ASEAN pandering to terrorist governmentsC.there is not a serious economic problem in Southeast Asia at allD.the economic problem in some Asian countries is partly the result of their overheating economy(3).The author suggests Dr. Mahathirs comments on the currency problems_.（分数：0.2
46、0）A.prove that he has been a poor leader in generalB.are poor because they weaken his own credibilityC.are sharp in identifying the cause of the problemD.reveal his keen insight into the complex issue(4).Which of the following is the tone of this essay?（分数：0.20）A.Sarcastic and prejudiced.B.Objective
47、 and detached.C.Piercing and indifferent.D.Impassive and hostile.(5).The relative pronoun “which“ in the last paragraph refers to_.（分数：0.20）A.theoriesB.expertsC.periodsD.issuesOn the past few days, two nations with large numbers of AIDS-infected people have announced plans to distribute a triple coc
48、ktail of life-prolonging antiretroviral drugs free to all who need it. China has been treating 5 ,000 patients and plans to expand the program to cover everyone in the country. South Africas cabinet approved a plan that includes drugs for all who need them. China spent years denying it had an AIDS p
49、roblem. Until recently, South Africas top officials minimized the epidemic, questioned whether H.I. V. was the cause of AIDS and labeled antiretroviral drugs “poisons“. Both countries have now taken a courageous and essential step. But only one is likely to succeed. Indeed, Chinas program is already failing. One in five Chinese who have received antiretr
