16、e developed a way to prevent the disease in the Roberts.Because mouse diabetes is almost identical to human type 1 diabetes (also called insulin-dependent or juvenile-onset diabetes), the researchers say they may be ready to test their techniques on humans in five years and that a treatment for pati

17、ents in the early stages of the disease could be ready to test in two years.In findingspublished in last weeks issue of Naturewere obtained by two research groups working independently. One was led by Daniel L. Kaufaman, a molecular biologist at the University of California at Los Angeles, and the o

18、ther by Hugh O. Mcdevit of Stanford University.“Theres great excitement at the prospects for this research“ said James Gavin, a diabetes specialist and president of the American Diabetes Association. “These are studies you have to call convincing. They are clearly likely to have human applications.

19、“Type 1 diabetes has long been known to be an autoimmune diseasean ailment in which the immune system, instead of defending the body against invading microbes, mistakenly attacks part of the body. In diabetes, it kills the special cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Without insulin, cells canno

20、t take in sugar. The body is deprived of sugar energy and its accumulation in the bloodstream damages nerves and other issues. The potential new treatments would either stop the immune system from making a mistake or suppress an existing erroneous response.31 Which of the following statements is NOT

21、 correct?（A）The new treatment for diabetes has been applied to humans.（B） There is not much difference between mouse diabetes and human type diabetes.（C） The discovery of what goes wrong with a special kind of mice enables scientists to find a way to prevent diabetes in humans.（D）The discovery made

22、by the research groups led by Daniel L. Kaufman and Hugh Mcdevit is convincin32 According to scientists diabetes causes all the following EXCEPT _.（A）lack of insulin（B） accumulation of sugar energy（C） brain damages（D）disorder in the immune system33 Scientists find that it is possible to cure diabete

23、s by means of _.（A）operation on pancreas（B） stopping the accumulation of blood cells（C） accumulation sugar energy（D）preventing the immune system from making mistakes34 Rodents in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to a species of animals including all the following EXCEPT _.（A）rats（B） r

24、abbits（C） cats（D）squirrels35 With what can cells take in sugar?（A）insulin（B） pancreas（C） diabetes（D）immune system35 Every man is a philosopher. Every man has his own philosophy of life and his special view of the universe. Moreover, his philosophy is important, more important perhaps than he himself

25、 knows. It determines his treatment of friends and enemies, his conduct when alone and in society, his attitude towards his home, his work, and his country, his religious beliefs, his ethical standards, his social adjustment and his personal happiness.Nations, too, through the political or military

26、party in power, have their philosophers of thought and action. Wars are waged and revolutions incited because of the clash Of ideologies, the conflict of philippics. It has always been so. World War II is but the latest and most dramatic illustration of the combustible nature of differences in socia

27、l and political philosophy.Philosophy, says Plato, begins with wonder. We wonder about the destructive fury of earthquakes, floods, storms, drought, pestilence, famine, and fire, the mysteries of birth and death, pleasure and pain, change and permanence, cruelty and kindness, instincts and ideals, m

28、ind and body, the size of the universe and mans place in it. Our questions are endless. What is man? What is Nature? What is justice? What is duty? Alone among the animals man is concerned about his origin and end, about his purposes and goals, about the meaning of life and the nature of reality. He

29、 alone distinguishes between beauty and ugliness, good and evil, the better and the worse. He may be a member of the animal kingdom, but he is also a citizen of the world of ideas and values.Some of mans questions have had answers. Where the answer is clear, we call it science or art and move on to

30、higher ground and a new vista of the world. Many of our questions, however, will never have final answers. Men will always discuss the nature of justice and right, the significance of evil, the art of government, the relation of mind and matter, the search for truth, the quest for happiness, the ide

31、a of God, and the meaning of reality.The human race has reflected so long and often on these problems that the same patterns of thought recur in almost every age. We should know what these thoughts are. We should know what answers have been suggested by those who have most influenced ancient and mod

32、ern thought. We shall want to do our own thinking and find our own answers. It is, however, neither necessary nor advisable to travel alone. Others have helped dispel the darkness, and the light they have kindled may also illuminate our way.36 In the passage, the author says that every man is a phil

33、osopher. This is because _.（A）every man lives like a philosopher（B） every man is aware of the importance of philosophy（C） every man lives in accordance with his world outlook（D）every man lives consciously37 According to Plato, philosophy originated from _.（A）what we dont know（B） some miracles（C） the

34、 question on what man is（D）moral values38 According to the author, we can trace the root of war in _.（A）the power struggle（B） the military competition（C） the conflict of ideas（D）the racial contradiction39 In the passage, the author implies that _.（A）it is not good for people to travel alone（B） one s

35、hould explore philosophical problems under the guidance of other philosophers（C） one should follow the path of other philosophers（D）one would study philosophy with others40 What is called science or art, according to the author?（A）the deficit answers of some of mans questions（B） Mans thoughts（C） all

36、 of mans questions（D）the meaning of reality40 About one commercial bank out of every four has a trust department that provides specialized fiduciary services for its customers. To engage in the trust business, a bank must obtain from its chartering agency trust powers that enable it to offer these s

37、pecialized financial services. The following sections provide an introduction to the trust function.With roughly 75 percent of banking-industry participants not engaged in trust operations, trust services obviously play a somewhat limited role in the industry. Since 1981 the percentage contribution

38、of these revenues to total operating income and total assets has been increasing after declining since 1975. As of year-end 1983, trust income was $ 4.2 billion and amounted to 1.74 percent of total operating income and 0. 185 percent of total bank assets. Over the eight-year period 1975 to 1983, tr

39、ust income grew at a compound annual rate of 12.78 percent compared to 17.42 percent for total operating income and 11.81 percent for total assets.Trust departments generate revenue by charging fees for the services they provide. In the early days of the trust business, these fees usually were calcu

40、lated as a percentage of income earned from trust assets. Today, most fee income is based upon principal value or a combination of principal value and income. To illustrate, a fee schedule based upon principal value for personal trust accounts might range from 1 percent to 25 percent annually, depen

41、ding upon the size of the account. One of the controversial areas in trust management is how to measure fee income.The service objectives of trust and agency relationships involve five major operations: 1) recordkeeping, 2) safekeeping, 3) personal and financial counseling, 4) investing, and 5) cont

42、rol of assets.Personal trusts and employee-benefit accounts are the major business lines of trust departments, as of December 31, 1980, these two lines accounted for $ 440 billion or 77 percent of total trust assets of $ 571 billion. In each of the major business lines, common stocks are the major i

43、nvestment vehicle, as they account for roughly 48 percent or total trust assets. Personal trusts have the highest proportion of assets in common stocks at 56 percent.41 _ Most small-sized banks usually have a trust department.（A）TRUE（B） FALSE（C） NOT GIVEN42 _ Trust services occupy a very important p

44、osition in the banking industry.（A）TRUE（B） FALSE（C） NOT GIVEN43 _ Nowadays, banks charge fees for the trust services they provide which were counted as part of the earnings from trust assets.（A）TRUE（B） FALSE（C） NOT GIVEN44 _ The trust service operations include safekeeping, counseling and investing

45、etC.（A）TRUE（B） FALSE（C） NOT GIVEN45 _ In personal trusts and employee-benefit accounts of trust departments during the 1980s, common stocks are the major investment vehicle.（A）TRUE（B） FALSE（C） NOT GIVEN45 (16) . Three centre on the United States. A fourth relates to China, and the fifth is that oil

46、prices could rise to over $ 70 per barrel even without a major political or terrorist disruption and much higher with one.Most of these risks reinforce each other. A further oil shock, a dollar collapse and a soaring American budget deficit would all generate much higher inflation and interest rates

47、. (17) Larger budget deficits will produce larger American trade deficits, and thus more protectionism and dollar vulnerability. Realization of any one of the five risks could substantially reduce world growth. If two or three, let alone all five, were to occur in combination then they would radical

48、ly reverse the global outlook.(18) . It has already reached an annual rate of $ 870 billion, well above 7% of the economy. It is expected that the deficit would exceed trillion per year by 2010.There are three reasons for this dismal prospect. First, American merchandise imports are now almost twice

49、 as large as exports; hence exports would have to grow twice as fast as imports merely to halt the deterioration. Second, economic growth is likely to remain faster in America than in its major markets and higher incomes there increase demand for imports much faster than income growth elsewhere increases demand for American exports. Third, (19) Fears of a har
