11、arked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. An important factor of leadership is attraction. This does not mean attractiveness in the ordinary sense, for that is a born quality U(21) /U our control. The leader has, nevertheless, to be a magnet; a central figure

12、towards whom people are U(22) /U Magnetism in that sense depends, first of all, U(23) /U being seen. There is a type of authority which can be U(24) /U from behind closed doors, but that is not leadership. U(25) /U there is movement and action, the true leader is in the forefront and may seem, indee

13、d, to be everywhere at once. He has to become a legend; the U(26) /U for anecdotes, whether true or U(27) /U, character. One of the simplest devices is to be absent U(28) /U the occasion when the leader might be U(29) /U to be there, enough in itself to start a rumor about the vital business U(30) /

14、U has detained him. To U(31) /U up for this, he can appeal when least expected, giving rise to another story about the interest he can display U(32) /U things which other folks might U(33) /U as trivial. With this gift for U(34) /U curiosity the leader always combines a reluctance to talk about hims

15、elf. His interest is U(35) /U in other people; he questions them and encourages them to talk and then remembers all U(36) /U is relevant. He never leaves a party U(37) /U he has mentally formed a minimum dossier (档案) on U(38) /U present, ensuring that he knows U(39) /U to say when he meets them agai

16、n. He is not artificially extrovert but he would usually rather listen U(40) /U talk.

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANS

19、WER SHEET 1.BPassage One/BAmericas economic recovery remains uncomfortably weak. The latest data show industrial production falling while the trade deficit soars to record levels. To round off a dismal week for economic statistics, the Fed (美联储) announced that industrial production fell by 0.2% in D

20、ecember compared with the previous month. That came as a disappointment to economists who had been expecting a small rise. Monthly data are always unreliable, of course; there is always a plausible explanation for unexpectedly bad (or good) news. But nearly all recent economic statistics point to th

21、e same conclusion-that Americas recovery remains sluggish and erratic. It could put pressure on the Fed to consider cutting interest rates again when its policymaking committee meets at the end of the month.The biggest obstacle to healthier economic performance, though, is political. As the Feds cha

22、irman, Alan Greenspan, acknowledged in the closing months of 2002, uncertainty about the future is holding both investors and consumers back. The shadowy threat of international terrorism and the much more explicit prospect of a war with Iraq have made many Americans nervous about the future. For bu

23、sinesses still reeling from the speed at which the late-1990s boom turned to slump, the political climate is one more reason to put off investing in new plant and equipment or hiring new staff. For consumers, for so long the mainstay of the American economy, the thrill of the shopping mall seems, fi

24、nally, to be on the wane.It is hard to put a favorable interpretation on most of the data. But it is important to keep a sense of perspective. Some recent figures look disappointing partly because they fall short of over-optimistic forecasts - a persistent weakness of those paid to predict the econo

25、mic future, no matter how often they are proved wrong. The Fed will be watching carefully for further signs of weakness during the rest of the month. Mr. Greenspan is an avid, even obsessive, consumer of economic data. He has made it clear that the Fed stands ready to reduce interest rates again if

26、it judges it necessary-even after 12 cuts in the past two years. At its last meeting, though, when it kept rates on hold, the Fed signaled that it did not expect to need to reduce rates any further.Monetary policy still offers the best short-term policy response to weak economic activity, and with i

27、nflation low the Fed still has scope for further relaxation. President Bushs much-vaunted fiscal stimulus is unlikely to provide appropriate help, and certainly not in a timely way.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following best describes the Americas economic situation?（分数：2.00）A.It is recovering.B.It fa

28、ces an uncertain future.C.It remains depressing.D.It shows unreliable signs.(2).What does the figure 0.2% in Paragraph 1 indicate?（分数：2.00）A.Americas economic recovery is still shaky.B.Economists are disappointed at the future economy.C.It is a bad sign for Americas economic recovery.D.The biggest o

29、bstacle to healthier economic performance is political.(3).What factor makes investors put off investing in new plant and equipment?（分数：2.00）A.The sluggish economic situation.B.The direct threat of international terrorism.C.The possibility of a war with Iraq.D.Investors shortage of capital.(4).What

30、is the authors attitude toward some recent figures mentioned in Paragraph 3?（分数：2.00）A.Optimistic.B.Skeptical.C.Worrisome.D.Critical.(5).How does monetary policy offer help for weak economic activity?（分数：2.00）A.It can stimulate investment in new plant and equipment.B.It can reduce interest rates so

31、as to stimulate weak economic activity.C.The Fed tries to keep inflation low.D.President Bush can offer appropriate monetary policy.BPassage Two/BGene therapy and gene-based drugs are two ways we could benefit from our growing mastery of genetic science. But there will be others as well. Here is one

32、 of the remarkable therapies on the cutting edge of genetic research that could make their way into mainstream medicine in the coming years.While its true that just about every cell in the body has the instructions to make a complete human, most of those instructions are inactivated, and with good r

33、eason: the last thing you want for your brain cells is to start churning out stomach acid or your nose to turn into a kidney. The only time cells truly have the potential to turn into any and all body parts is very early in a pregnancy, when so-called stem cells havent begun to specialize.Yet this u

34、ntapped potential could be a terrific boon to medicine. Most diseases involve the death of healthy cells-brain cells in Alzheimers, cardiac cells in heart disease, pancreatic cells in diabetes, to name a few. If doctors could isolate stem cells, then direct their growth, they might be able to furnis

35、h patients with healthy replacement tissue.It was incredibly difficult, but last fall scientists at the University of Wisconsin managed to isolate stem cells and get them to grow into neural, gut, muscle and bone cells. The process still cant be controlled, and may have unforeseen limitations. But i

36、f efforts to understand and master stem-cell development prove successful, doctors will have a therapeutic tool of incredible power.The same applies to cloning, which is really just the other side of the coin; true cloning, as first shown with the sheep Dolly two years ago, involves taking a develop

37、ed cell and reactivating the genome within, resetting its developmental instructions to a pristine state. Once that happens, the rejuvenated cell can develop into a full-fledged animal, genetically identical to its parent.For agriculture, in which purely physical characteristics like milk production

38、 in a cow or low fat in a hog have real market value, biological carbon copies could become routine within a few years. This past year scientists have done for mice and cows what Ian Wilmot did for Dolly, and other creatures are bound to join the cloned menagerie in the coming year.Human cloning, on

39、 the other hand, may be technically feasible but legally and emotionally more difficult. Still, one day it will happen. The ability to reset body cells to a pristine, undeveloped state could give doctors exactly the same advantages they would get from stem cells: the potential to make healthy body t

40、issues of all sorts, and thus to cure disease. That could prove to be a true “miracle cure.“（分数：10.00）(1).The author believes in the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.there will inevitably be human cloning in the coming yearB.the potential to make healthy body tissues is undoubtedly a boon to human beingsC.

41、it is illegal to clone any kind of creatures in the worldD.it is legal to clone any kind of creatures in the world except human(2).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Nearly every cell in the human brain has the instructions to make a complete human.B.It

42、 is impossible for a cell in your nose to turn into a kidney.C.It is possible to turn out healthy replacement tissues with isolated stem cells.D.There will certainly appear some new kind of cloned animal in the near future.(3).All of the following are steps involved in true cloning EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00

43、）A.selecting a stem cellB.taking a developed cellC.reactivating the genome within the developed cellD.resetting the developmental instructions in the cell to its original state(4).The word “rejuvenated“ (Paragraph 5) most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.rescuedB.reactivatedC.recalledD.regulated(5).The p

44、roper title for this passage should be _.（分数：2.00）A.Tomorrows Tissue FactoryB.A Terrific Boon to MedicineC.Human CloningD.Genetic ResearchBPassage Three/BThe question of ethics in the legal profession is one that has plagued the industry since its inception. The common image of an attorney is one wh

45、o will resort to any unethical trick to twist the laws to fit his purposes. In the more specific industry of criminal law, defense attorneys are often criticized for advocating on behalf of defendants who are “obviously guilty,“ thus becoming roadblocks on the path to justice. Much to the contrary,

46、however, defense attorneys provide a valuable serve that should earn them praise, not scorn.While it is true that every lawyer will do everything within his power to interpret the laws in the manner most beneficial to his client, such a characterization is by no means limited to defense attorneys. T

47、he prosecutor will do the same thing, employing all his legal knowledge and know-how to establish the guilt of the defendant. In this respect, the vague nature of the law is highlighted, and it becomes a virtual necessity for each side to use every tool at their disposal, on the assumption that the

48、other side will also use every tool at his. The net result emerges as a positive, in which the tricks of the opposing attorneys cancel one another out, leaving only the truth, clearer and devoid of manipulation, presented for the jurys consideration.Further, the defense attorney is a vital element of the American judicial system, in that without him the defendant would stand no chance whatsoever. Under the constitution, even the most “obvious guilty“ defendants are guaranteed the right to a fair trial, involving someone able and wil
