23、ing Transla(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Sectence Translation(总题数：1，分数：20.00)_八、Passage Translation(总题数：1，分数：10.00)_九、SECTION 2: STUDA SKI(总题数：6，分数：60.00)An industrial society, especially one as centralized and concentrated as that of Britain, is heavily dependent on certain essential services: for instance, ele

24、ctricity supply, water, rail and road transport, the harbours. The area of dependency has widened to include removing rubbish, hospital and ambulance services, and, as the economy develops, central computer and information services as well. If any of these services ceases to operate, the whole econo

25、mic system is in danger.It is this interdependency of the economic system which makes the power of trade unions such an important issue. Single trade unions have the ability to cut off many countries economic blood supply. This can happen more easily in Britain than in some other countries, in part

26、because the labour force is highly organized. About 55 per cent of British workers belong to unions, compared to under a quarter in the United States.For historical reasons, Britains unions have tended to develop along trade and occupational lines, rather than on an industry-by-industry basis, which

27、 makes a wages policy, democracy in industry and the improvement of procedures for fixing wage levels difficult to achieve.There are considerable strains and tensions in the trade union movement, some of them arising from their outdated and inefficient structure. Some unions have lost many members b

28、ecause of industrial changes. Others are involved in arguments about who should represent workers in new trades. Unions for skilled trades are separate from general unions, which means that different levels of wages for certain jobs are often a source of bad feeling between unions. In traditional tr

29、ades which are being pushed out of existence by advancing technologies, unions can fight for their members disappearing jobs to the point where the jobs of other unions members are threatened or destroyed. The printing of newspapers both in the United States and in Britain has Frequently been halted

30、 by the efforts of printers to hold onto their traditional highly-paid jobs.Trade unions have problems of internal communication just as managers in companies do, problems which multiply in very large unions or in those which bring workers in very different industries together into a single general

31、union. Some trade union officials have to be re-elected regularly; others are elected, or even appointed, for life. Trade union officials have to work with a system of “shop stewards“ in many unions, “shop stewards“ being workers elected by other workers as their representatives at factory or works

32、level.（分数：10.00）(1).Why is the question of trade union power important in Britain?（分数：2.00）A.The economy is very interdependent.B.Unions have been established a long time.C.There are more unions in Britain than elsewhere.D.There are many essential services.(2).Why is it difficult to improve the proc

33、edures for fixing wage levels?（分数：2.00）A.Some industries have no unions.B.Unions are not organized according to industries.C.Only 55 per cent of workers belong to unions.D.Some unions are too powerful.(3).Disagreements arise between unions because some of them _.（分数：2.00）A.try to win over members of

34、 other unionsB.ignore agreementsC.protect their own members at the expense of othersD.take over other onions jobs(4).In what ways are unions and large companies similar?（分数：2.00）A.Both have too many managers.B.Both have problems in passing on information.C.Both lose touch with individual workers.D.B

35、oth their managements are too powerful.(5).What basic problems are we told most trade unions face?（分数：2.00）A.They are not equal in size or influence.B.They are not organized efficiently.C.They are less powerful than employers organizationsD.They do not have enough membersThe period of adolescence, i

36、.e., the person between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectations and on societys definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with pat

37、terns of prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most of the second decade of ones life. Furthermore, the length of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and eco

38、nomic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in the latter part of the nineteenth century in the United States, and more universally, the industrialization of an agricultural society.In modem society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal

39、 recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies. Social ones have been replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to increased recognition and social status. For example, grade school graduation, high school graduation and college g

40、raduation constitute such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes and social recognition, the significance of each depends on the socioeconomic status and the educational ambition of the individual.Ceremonies for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of

41、status roles, right, privileges and responsibilities. It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective and restrictive aspects of child-hood and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted. The twelve-year-old is no long

42、er considered a child and has to pay full fare for train, airplane, theater and movie tickets. Basically, the individual at this age loses childhood privileges without gaining significant adult rights, At the age of sixteen the adolescent is granted certain adult rights, which increases his social s

43、tatus by providing him with more freedom and choices. He now can obtain a drivers license; he can leave public schools; and he can work without the restrictions of child labor laws. At the age of eighteen the law provides adult responsibilities as well as fights; the young man can now be a soldier,

44、but he also can marry without parental permission. At the age of twenty-one the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can vote, he can buy liquor, he can enter into financial contracts, and he is entitled to nm for public office. No additional basic rights are acquired as a fu

45、nction of age after majority status has been attained. None of these legal provisions determine at what point adulthood has been reached but they do point to the prolonged period of adolescence.（分数：10.00）(1).The period of adolescence is much longer in industrial societies because _.（分数：2.00）A.the de

46、finition of maturity has changedB.the industrialized society is more developedC.more education is provided and laws against child labor are madeD.ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance(2).Former social ceremonies that used to mark adolescence have given place to _.（分数：2.00）A.graduations from schools and collegesB.social recognitionC.socio-economic statusD.certain behavioral changes(3).No one can expect to fully enjoy the adulthood privileges u
