Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlie
27、r the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “King Enterprises“, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the d
28、oor again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr.King, it looked quite different now. In fa
29、ct, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at h
30、er.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the d
31、oor and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the days work in the office began just before MrKing arrivedLater she found out that he lived in Co

36、.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Between the eighth and eleventh centuries A. D., the Byzantine Empire staged an almost unparalleled economic and cultural revival, a revival that is all the more striking because it followed a long period of severe internal decline. By the early eighth century, the empire ha
37、d lost roughly 2/3 of the territory it had possessed in the year 600, and its remaining area was being raided by Arabs and Bulgarians, who at times threatened to take Constantinople and extinguish the empire altogether. The wealth of the state and its subjects was greatly diminished, and artistic an
38、d literary production had virtually ceased. By the early eleventh century, however, the empire had regained almost half of its lost possessions, its new frontiers were secure, and its influence extended far beyond its borders. The economy had recovered. The treasury was full. And art and scholarship
39、 had advanced.To consider the Byzantine military, cultural and economic advances as differentiated aspects of a single phenomenon is reasonable. After all, these three forms or progress have gone together in a number of states and civilizations. Rome under Augustus and fifth-century Athens provide t
40、he most obvious examples in antiquity. Moreover, an examination of the apparent sequential connections among military, economic, and cultural forms of progress might help explain the dynamics of historical change.The common explanation of these apparent connections in the case of Byzantium would run
41、 like this: when the empire had turned back enemy raids on its own territory and had begun to raid and conquer enemy territory, Byzantine resources naturally expanded and more money became available to patronize art and literature. Therefore, Byzantine military achievements led to economic advances,
42、 which in turn led to cultural revival. No doubt this hypothetical pattern did apply at times during the course of the recovery. Yet it is not clear that military advances invariably came first, economic advances second, and intellectual advances third. In the 860s the Byzantine Empire began to reco
43、ver from Arab incursions so that by 862 the military balance with the Abbasid Caliphate had been permanently altered in the empires favor. The beginning of the empires economic revival however can be placed between 810 and 830. Finally the Byzantine revival of learning appears to have begun even ear
44、lier. A number of notable scholars and writers appeared by 788 and by last decade of the eighth century a cultural revival was in full bloom, a revival that last until the fall of Constinople in 1453. Thus the commonly expected order of military revival followed by economic and then by cultural reco
45、very was reversed in Byzantium. In fact the revival of Byzantine learning may itself have influenced the subsequent economic and military expansion.（分数：10.00）(1).The central idea of this passage is that _ .A. the Byzantine Empire was a unique case in which the usual order of military and economic re
46、vival coming before cultural revival was reversedB. after 810 Byzantine economic recovery stimulated a military and later cultural expansion that lasted until 1453.C. the eighth-century revival of Byzantine learning is a phenomenon that is difficult to explainD. the revival of the Byzantine Empire b
47、etween the 8th and 11th Centuries shows cultural rebirth preceding economic and military revival reversed the commonly accepted order of progress（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It can be inferred from the passage that the Byzantine Empire continuously suffered significant territorial losses _ .A. in 600B. duri
48、ng the 7th centuryC. a century after the cultural achievements of the Byzantine Empire had been lostD. soon after the revival of Byzantine learning（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What attitude do ethical commentators take towards experimentation with human cloning?A. hey believe that knowledge is more importan
49、t than anything else.B. The advised scientists to give up cloning.C. They are more concerned with the moral features of science.D.
