Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice a

12、nd mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat: when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of

13、 mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the

14、end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “l

15、ife-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ ite

16、ms. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sigh

17、ts to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action a

18、gainst disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, man

19、will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when_（分数：2.00）A.he has saved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC.he has satisfied his hungerD.he has learned to build houses(2).It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most

20、Americans_.（分数：2.00）A.were very richB.lived in povertyC.had the good things on the first three levelsD.did not own automobiles(3).Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction“?（分数：2.00）A.A successful career.B.A comfortable home.C.A good meal.D.A family car.(4).What is the main con

21、cern of man on the fourth level?（分数：2.00）A.The more goods the better.B.The more mental satisfaction the better.C.The more “luxury“ items the better.D.The more earnings the better.(5).The author tends to think that the fifth level_.（分数：2.00）A.would be little better than the fourth levelB.may be a lot

22、 more desirable than the first fourC.can be the last and most satisfying levelD.will become attainable before the government takes actionsThere are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries

23、. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries. It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older peo

24、ple to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase. What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for dis

25、eases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state. Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. I

26、n some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change. Much needs to be done to get rid

27、of age discrimination(歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a countrys development. Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are v

28、ital in order to build a suitable safety net. To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure: there is no time to be lost.（分数：10.00）(1).The proportion of older people_.（分数：2.00）A.is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB.is one-seve

29、nth of the population developing countriesC.will increase much faster in China than in FranceD.will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020(2).According to the passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?（分数：2.00）A.The diseases and disability of older people.B.The lon

30、ger life and good health of people.C.The loss of taxes on older people.D.The increasing respect for older people.(3).It is stated directly in the passage that older people should_.（分数：2.00）A.be treated differently in different culturesB.enjoy a similar lifestyleC.be ignored as society changesD.be va

31、lued by the younger generations(4).Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?（分数：2.00）A.Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B.Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C.Providing free health care for sick older people.D.Supplying

33、roblemD.much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problemIn Shanghai, a growing number of foreign-funded banks are looking for local people to fill executive positions(行政主管的岗位)rather than people from their own countries as they did in the past. U. S. -based Citibank(花旗银行)put a job anno

34、uncement in a local newspaper last week calling for executive trainees . It was part of Citibanks business plan in China to draw local professionals. Demand for personal banking services has been on the rise since China joined the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001. The move does not only h

35、appen to Citibank. Many other foreign-funded banks in the city have made similar decisions. The U. K. s Standard Chartered last year employed over 30 graduates from Chinese universities and colleges as executive trainees. They are expected to take up managerial positions at the banks Shanghai branch

36、 after a two-year training program overseas. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation(HSBC)has announced it will employ more new graduates in China in the coming year.

40、ed States during 1992, any family of four with an annual cash income of less than $ 14, 335(before taxes)was considered poor. The dollar amount was called the poverty line, an economic measuring rod devised in 1964. The line was set at three times the amount needed to provide the cheapest nutritiona

41、lly balanced diet. The poverty line is adjusted annually for inflation. While the poverty line in the United States was more than $ 14, 000, the average annual per-person income in Bangladesh was $ 200, in Ethiopia $ 130, in Haiti $ 340, and in Mali $ 4, 265. Anyone in those nations with an income o

42、f $ 14, 000 would be considered wealthy. During the Great Depression in the United States, when half the population was considered poor, a family with an income at the 1992 poverty line could afford to buy a house, a car, clothing and food. The reality of poverty varies with location and social and

43、political conditions. Poverty basically means a lack of, or an insufficient amount of, the three primary physical needs food, clothing, and shelter. But for poverty to be recognized, it must exist alongside prosperity. Before the discovery of the New World, the American Indians would not have consid

44、ered themselves poor, though they lived with only the bare necessities and a few handmade arti-facts(人工制品).
