Pubs but at least two attempts, according to the hospital, could have been vital. Their reasons seemed as mundane as the other happen-stances of sub
9、- urban life. “I was just sick of it all, “one told a reporter. “Everything. Life. “Most alarming, emergency-room doctor Frederick Lohse told a local reporter that several girls said they were part of a suicide pact. The hospital later backed away from this remark . But coming in the wake of at leas
10、t six- teen suicide attempts over the previous few months, this sudden cluster-along with the influx of media-has set this well-groomed suburb of 23,000 on edge. At a town meeting last Wednesday night, Dr Simon Sobo, chief of psychiatry at the hospital, told more than 200 parents and kids, “Were tal
11、king about a crisis that has really gotten out of hand. “Later he added. “There have been more suicide attempts this spring than I have seen in the 13 years I have been here.“Sobo said that the girls he treated didnt have serious problems at home or school. “Many of these were popular kids, “he said
12、. “They got plenty of love, but beneath the reassuring signs, a swath of teens here are not making it. Some say that drugs, both pot and real drugs , are commonplace. Kids have shown up with LIFE SUCKS and LONG LIVE DEATH penned on their arms. A few girls casually display scars on their arms where t
13、hey cut themselves. “ “ Youd be surprised how many kids try suicide, “said one girl, 17. “You dont want to put pain on other people; you put it on yourself.“ She said she used to cut herself “just to release the pain“.Emily, 15, a friend of three of the girls treated in June, said one was having fam
14、ily problems, one was “upset that day “and the third was “just upset with everything else going on“. She said they werent really trying to kill themselves-they just needed concern. As Sobo noted,“ Whats going on in New Milford is not unique to New Milford. “The same underlying culture of despair cou
15、ld be found in any town. But teen suicide, he added, can be a “contagion“. Right now New Milford has the bug- and has it bad.(分数:5.00)(1).What is the main subject of the passage?A.

19、ouses such excesses of passion and dislike. Nor is here any other about which more nonsense is talked. The type of thing that comes to mind is not what is normally called economics, which is inexact rather than nonsensical, and only in the same way as all sciences are at the point where they try to
20、predict peoples behavior and its consequences. Indeed most social sciences and, for example, medicine could probably be described in the same way.However, it is common to hear assertions of the kind “if you were left alone on a desert island a few seed potatoes would be more useful to you than a mil
21、lion pounds“ as though this proved something important about money except the undeniable fact that it would not be much use to anyone in a situation where very few of us are at all likely to find ourselves. Money in fact is a token or symbolic object, exchangeable on demand by its holders for goods
22、and services. Its use for these purposes is universal except within a small number of primitive agricultural communities.Money and the price mechanism, i. e., the changes in prices expressed in money terms of different goods and services, are the means by which all modern societies regulate demand a
23、nd supply for these things. Especially important are the relative changes in price of different goods and services compared with each other. To take random examples: the price of house-building has over the past five years risen a good deal faster than that of domestic appliances like refrigerators,
24、 but slower than that of motor insurance or French Impressionist paintings. This fact has complex implications for students of the industry, trade unionism, town planning, insurance companies, fine-art auctions, and politics. Unpacking these implications is what economics is about, but their implica
25、tions for bankers are quite different.In general, in modern industrialized societies, prices of services or goods produced in a context requiring a high service-content (e. g. a meal in a restaurant) are likely to rise in price more rapidly than goods capable of mass-production on a large scale. It
26、is also a characteristic of highly developed economies that the number of workers employed in service industries tends to rise and that of workers employed in manufacturing to fall. The discomfort this truth causes has been an important source of tension in western political life for many years and
27、is likely to remain so for many more.(分数:5.00)(1).According to the passage, economics is _.A. similar to other social sciences because a lot of nonsense is talked about itB. different from social sciences which try to forecast the way people behaveC. similar to other social sciences because it can f

29、re are many situations in which money is irrelevantD. tells us that money is no longer significant in a certain situation(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(3).Modern societies control supply and demand _.A. by direct intervention in the pricing of goods and servicesB. by means of money and the price mechanismC. by k
30、eeping a watchful eye on relative price changesD. by fixing prices in specific industries(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(4).The writer suggests that economics is concerned with _.A. explaining to bankers the price changesB. understanding the effect of relative price changesC. trying to understand why some prices
31、rise fastD. the same financial considerations as banking(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.(5).In developed economies, service industries _.A. tend to employ an increasing number of peopleB. employ more people than manufacturing industries doC. cause problems for the white-collar unionsD. try to reduce their employee
32、s to combat rising costs(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D.十一、Part B(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Dr Marvin Marshall developed a system that would promote responsible behavior by internally motivating students. Drawing on his own teaching experiences, as well as the insights of others who had explored the area of human potential,
33、he would be pro-active rather than constantly reacting to inappropriate classroom behaviors.66. _To teach responsible behavior, he developed an order of social development that explained different levels of human social behavior in simple terms that his students could understand.Without any social o
34、rder, anarchy and chaos erupt. The two lowest levels of his hierarchy are Level A: Anarchy and Level B: Bossing/Bullying. In the classroom, both levels are unacceptable.A society becomes civil when its people cooperate and live according to external influences. This led to the naming of Level C: Coo
35、peration/Conformity.When people mature, cultivate manners, and develop values of right and wrong, the motivations to behave welloriginally externalbecome internalized. Doing the right thing simply because it is the right thing to dowithout being asked or toldis the concept that characterizes the fou
36、rth and highest level. He refers to it as Level D: Democracy, because taking the initiative to be responsible is an essential characteristics of self-rule.Internal vs. External MotivationMotivation is either external or internal. External motivation applies when the aim of the performance is to gain
37、 approval, to receive a reward or to avoid punishment. Internal motivation applies when people perform for inner satisfaction.Although humans operate from both external and internal motivation, the motivation itself cannot be discerned from a persons actions. In a classroom, both types of motivation
38、 are acceptable as long as the end result is the same, but his goal was to develop a system to promote internally motivated responsibility in young people.67. _Management professor Douglas McGregor examined the factors underlying the different ways people attempt to influence human activity. He conc
39、luded that the two most common leadership styles are based on two very different sets of assumptions about people.68. _This management style consists of the following beliefs:* The average person has an inherent dislike for work and will avoid it if possible.* Because of this inherent aversion, most
40、 people must be coerced, controlled, directed or threatened with punishment to get them to put forth adequate effort toward the achievement of goals and objectives.* The average person prefers to be directed, wishes to avoid responsibility, has relatively little ambition and wants security above all
41、.Under the management style, responsibilities are delineated, goals are imposed, and decisions are made without involving individuals or requesting their consent. Rewards are contingent upon conforming to the system, and punishments are the consequences of deviation from the established rules. McGre
42、gor concluded that this style is inadequate for full human development.69. _ Compared to the style mentioned above, this management style leads to greater realization of goals for both the individual and the organization. The assumptions of this style are:* Work can be a source of satisfaction for e
43、mployees and will be performed voluntarily, or it can be a source of punishment and may be avoided.* People will exercise self-direction and self-control in pursuit of objectives to which they are committed.* Commitment to objectives depends on the rewards associated with achieving them. The most si
44、gnificant reward is internal satisfaction.This style is more challenging to the participants. It sets up realistic objectives and expects people to achieve them.70. _Traditionally, people attempting to manage or change people use top-down authoritarian strategies, which are generally accompanied by
45、stress, resistance and poor relationships. But the use of collaboration and empowerment the outgrowths of the second style reduces stress, improves relationships and is much more powerful in effecting change in others.His teaching and administrative experiences taught him that having a discipline sy
46、stem is even more beneficial than having a natural talent in teaching. A simple, dependable aid is precisely what he wanted to offer practitioners.A. Top-down Authoritarian StyleB. Social Behavior HierarchyC. A Dependable AidD. Dedicated to ExcellenceE. A Look at Two Different Managerial StylesF. Hi

After three decades of continuous growth fostered by political, social and macro-economic stability, the As
48、ian economic crisis of 1997 has sown the seeds of major change in Indonesias economy and political system. The crisis and the subsequent fall in GDP, the largest among ASEAN countries, revealed underlying weaknesses in Indonesias economic and financial structures, which prompted calls for reform.Tra
49、de and foreign direct investment have been at the heart of Indonesias economic policy. In the face of the recent economic crisis, the Government undertook to accelerate the pace of reforms and to remove many remaining restrictions on domestic and international trade. From 1994 to 1996, real GDP grew on average by 8 annually. Although economic activity started to decelerate in the second half of 1996, the financial crisis
