7、increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich Government department. It is a voluntary association of people who car
8、e for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest. The attention of the public was first dra
9、wn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4,500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust“s “Country House Sch
10、eme“. Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses. Last year about one and three quarters of a million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually
11、at a very small charge. In addition to country houses and open spaces the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages. In these vil
12、lages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original sixteenth-century style. Over four hundred thousand acres of coastline, woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturba
13、nces of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife. So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life, preserving all t
14、hat is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.（分数：7.00）(1).The National Trust is financed by both personal donations and g

Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or heraside perhaps from a few remark
19、s or readily observable traits. 2. The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a person“s eyes, ears, nose or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her
20、 as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory informationthe sights and sounds of your world. These incoming “signals“ are compared against a host of “memories“ stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals mean. 3. If you see som
21、eone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe“. If you see someone new, it says, “new-potentially threatening“. Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other “known“ memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone of voice are all matc
22、hed up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “This is new. I don“t like this person“. Or else, “I“m intrigued“. Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestureslike your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person“. But these
23、 preliminary “impressions“ can be dead wrong. 4. When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of peopletheir history
24、, interest, values, strengths, and true characterwe categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks. 5. However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and beco
25、me aware of the person“s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinkingand the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.（分数：8.00）(1).A. Ways of Departure from Immature and Simplistic Impressions B. Comment on First Impression C. Illustration of First Impression D.

29、：15.00)Oseola MeCartyLate one Sunday afternoon in September 1999, Oseola McCarty, an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked for most of her life. It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life, but there was something quite exceptional ab
30、out this woman. In the summer of 1995, McCarty gave $150, 000, most of the money she had saved throughout her life, to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university. She had started her savings habit as a young child when she
31、 would return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save. She led a simple, frugal existence, never spending on anything but her most basic needs. Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings. When she retired, she decided that she wanted to use the money to
32、give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university. She had wanted to become a nurse, but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work. When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, “I“m giving it away so that children won“t have to work so hard, like I
33、 did.“ After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund. One was given by media executive, Ted Turner, who reputedly gave a billion dollars. She didn“t want any fuss made over her gift, but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States
34、to talk to people. Wherever she went, people would come up to her to say a few words or to just touch her. She met the ordinary and the famous, President Clinton included. In the last few years of her life, before she died of cancer, McCarty was given over 300 awards: she was honoured by the United
35、Nations and received the Presidential Citizen“s Medal. Despite having no real education, she found herself with two honorary doctorates: one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University. Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selfle
36、ssness does exist.（分数：15.00）(1).This woman shocked and inspired the world because _.（分数：3.00）A.she had managed to save so much moneyB.she gave her money to African AmericansC.she gave her life savings to help others through universityD.she only spent money on cheap things(2).She managed to save so m

40、st decade, thousands of patents have been granted for what are called business methods. A received one for its “one-click“ online payment system. Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy. One inventor patented a technique for lifting a box. Now the nation“s top patent cour
41、t appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago. In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said it would use a particular case to cond
42、uct a broad review of business-method patents. In Bilski, as the case is known, is “a very big deal“, says Dennis D. Crouch of the University of Missouri School of Law. “It has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents.“ Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, bec
43、ause it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. That ruling produced an explosion in business-method patent filings, initially by emerging internet companies
44、 trying to stake out exclusive rights to specific types of online transactions. Later, move established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a defensive move against rivals that might beat them to the punch. In 2005, IBM noted in a court filing that it had been issued more
45、than 300 business-method patents despite the fact that it questioned the legal basis for granting them. Similarly, some Wall Street investment films armed themselves with patents for financial products, even as they took positions in court cases opposing the practice. The Bilski case involves a clai
46、med patent on a method for hedging risk in the energy market. The Federal Circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court“s judges, rather than a typical panel of three, and that one issue it wants to evaluate is whether it should “reconsider“ its State St
47、reet Bank ruling. The Federal Circuit“s action comes in the wake of a series of recent decisions by the Supreme Court that has narrowed the scope of protections for patent holders. Last April, for example, the justices signaled that too many patents were being upheld for “inventions“ that are obviou
48、s. The judges on the Federal Circuit are “reacting to the anti-patent trend at the Supreme Court“, says Harold C. Wegner, a patent attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School.（分数：15.00）(1).Business-method patents have recently aroused concern because of _.（分数：3.00）A.their limit
49、ed value to businessB.their connection with asset allocationC.the possible restriction on their grantingD.the controversy over authorization(2).Which of the following is true of the Bilski case?（分数：3.00）A.Its ruling complies with the court decisions.B.It involves a very big business transaction.C.It has been dismissed by the Federal Circuit.D.It may change the legal practices in the U. S.(3).The word “about-face“ (Line 1, Para 3) most probably means _.（分数：3.00）A.loss of good willB.increase of hostilityC.change of attitudeD.enhancement of dignit
