In many poor nations with oil, the profits are being , lost to corruption, 31 these

Part III Reading Comprehension

Direction: There are 4 passages in this part. 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. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:

Henric Ibsen, author of the play "A Doll's House", in which a pretty, helpless housewife abandons her husband and children to seek a more serious life, would surely have approved.. From January 1st, 2008, all public companies in Norway are obliged to ensure that at least 40% of their board directors are women. Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in 2003.But about 75 out of the 480 or so companies it affects are still too male for the government's liking. They will shortly receive a letter informing them that they have until the end of February to act , or face the legal consequences---which could include being dissolved.

Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were female, according to the Centre for Corporate Diversity .The number has since jumped to 36%. That is far higher than the average of 9% for big companies across Europe or America's 15% for the Fortune 500.Norway's stock exchange and its main business lobby oppose the law, as do many businessmen." I am against quotas for women or men as a matter of principle," says Sverre Munck,

head of international operations at a media firm. "Board members of public companies should be chosen solely on the basis of merit and experience, "be says. Several firms have even given up their public status in order to escape the new law.

Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. Many complain that it has been difficult to find experienced candidates. Because of this, some of the best women have collected as many as 25-35 directorships each, and are known in Norwegian business circles as the "golden skirts". One reason for the scarcity is that there are fairly few women in management in Norwegian companies---they occupy around 15% of senior positions. It has been particularly hard for firms in the oil, technology and financial industries to find women with a enough experience.

Some people worry that their relative lack of experience may keep women quiet on boards, and that in turn could mean that boards might become less able to hold managers to account. Recent history in Norway, however, suggests that the right women can make strong directors. "Women feel more compelled than men to do their homework," says Ms Reksten Skaugen, who was voted Norway's chairman of the year for 2007, "and we can afford to ask the hard questions, because women are not always expected to know the answers."

41. The author mentions Ibsen's play in the first paragraph in order to .

A. depict women's dilemma at work

B. explain the newly passed law

C. support Norwegian government

D. introduce the topic under discussion

42. A public company that fails to obey the new law could be forced to .

A. pay a heavy fine

B. close down its business

C. change to a private business

D. sign a document promising to act

43. To which of the following is Sverre Munck most likely to agree?

A. A set ratio of women in a board is unreasonable.

B. A reasonable quota for women at work needs to be set.

C. A common principle should be followed by all companies.

D. An inexperienced businessman is not subject to the new law.

44. The author attributes the phenomenon of "golden skirts" to .

A. the small number of qualified females in management

B. the over-recruitment of female managers in public companies

C. the advantage women enjoy when competing for senior positions

D. the discrimination toward women in Norwegian business circles

45. The main idea of the passage might be .

A. female power and liberation in Norway

B. the significance of Henric Ibsen's play

C. women's status in Norwegian firms

D. the constitution of board members in Norway

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:

While there's never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric (小儿科的) cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.

In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she's discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare from of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.

Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict." Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her own personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of "cancer babes" offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.

Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn't funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her (Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru), and she even makes second sound fun ("cancer road trips," she calls them).

She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes. "There are just too many cool things to do and plan and live for."

Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you're not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" so loud you neighbors call the police. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your illness. "People you tell are going to cautious and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle," she writes.

While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every cancer patient wants: the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.

46. Which of the following groups is more vulnerable to cancer?

A. Children.

B. People in their 20s and 30s.

48. The phrase "cancer posse" (Line 4, para.3 ) probably refers to ________

A. a cancer research organization

B. a group of people who suffer from cancer

C. people who have recovered from cancer

D. people who cope with cancer

49. Kris Carr make up names for the people who treat her because ________

A. she is depressed and likes swearing

B. she is funny and likes playing jokes on doctor

C. she wants to leave the medical advice to doctor

D. she tries to leave a good impression on doctor

50. From Kris Carr's cancer tips we may infer that ________

A. she learned to use e-mails after she got cancer

B. she wears fashionable dress even after suffering from cancer

C. hospital gowns for cancer patients are usually not in bright colors

D. the neighbors are very friendly with cancer patients

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:

Should a leader strive to be loved or feared? This question, famously posed by Machiavelli, lies at the heart of Joseph Nye’s new book.Mr.Nye, a former dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and one-time chairman of America’s National Intelligence Council, is best known for promoting the idea of “soft power”,based on persuasion and influence, as a counterpoint to “hard power”, based on coercion(强迫) and force.

Having analyzed the use of soft and hard power in politics and diplomacy in his previous books, Mr.Nye has now turned his attention to the relationship between power and leadership, in both the political and business spheres. Machiavelli, he notes, concluded that “one ought to be both feared and loved, but as it is difficult for the two to go together, it is much safer to be feared than loved.” In short, hard power is preferable to soft power. But modem leadership theorists have come to the opposite conclusion.

The context of leadership is changing, the observe, and the historical emphasis on hard power is becoming outdated. In modem companies and democracies, power is increasingly diffused and traditional hierarchies(等级制) are being undermined, making soft power ever more important. But that does not mean coercion should now take a back seat to persuasion. Mr.Nye argues. Instead, he advocates a synthesis of these two views. The conclusion of The Powers to Lead, his survey of the theory of leadership, is that a combination of hard and soft power, which he calls “smart power”, is the best approach.

The dominant theoretical model of leadership at the moment is, apparently, the “transformational leadership pattern”. Anyone allergic(反感) to management term will already be running for the exit, but Mr.Nye has performed a valuable service in rounding up and summarizing the various academic studies and theories of leadership into a single, slim volume. He examines different approaches to leadership, the morality of leadership and how the wider context can determine the effectiveness of a particular leader. There are plenty of anecdotes and examples, historical and contemporary, political and corporate.

Also, leadership is a slippery subject, and as he depicts various theories, even Mr.Nye never quite nails the jelly to the wall. He is at his most interesting when discussing the moral aspects of leadership, in particular, the question of whether it is sometimes necessary for good leaders to lie —and he provides a helpful 12-points summary of his conclusion. A resuming theme is that as circumstances change, different sorts of leaders are required; a leader who thrives in one environment may struggle in another, and vice versa. Ultimately that is just a fancy way of saying

that leadership offers no easy answers.

51. From the first two paragraphs we may learn than Mr. Machiavelli’s i dea of hard power is

______.

A. well accepted by Joseph Nye

B. very influential till nowadays

C. based on sound theories

D. contrary to that of modem leadership theorists

52. Which of the following makes soft power more important today according to Mr.Nye?

A. Coercion is widespread.

B. Morality is devalued.

C. Power is no longer concentrated.

D. Traditional hierarchies are strengthened

53. In his book the Powers to lead, Mr. Nye has examined all the following aspects of leadership EXCEPT_____.

A. authority

B. context

C. approaches

D. morality

54. Mr. Nye’s book is particularly valuable in that it _____.

A. makes little use of management terms

B. summarizes various studies concisely

C. serves as an exit for leadership researchers

D. sets a model for contemporary corporate leaders

55. According to the author, the most interesting part of Mr. Nye’s book lies in his _____.

A. view of changeable leadership

B. definition of good leadership

C. summary of leadership history

D. discussion of moral leadership

Questions 56 to 60are based on the following passage:

Americans don't like to lose wars. Of course, a lot depends on how you define just what a war is. There are shooting wars—the kind that test patriotism and courage—and those are the kind at which the U.S excels. But other struggles test those qualities too. What else was the Great Depression or the space race or the construction of the railroads? If American indulge in a bit of flag—when the job is done, they earned it.

Now there is a similar challenge. Global warming. The steady deterioration(恶化)of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of the first order, and by any measure, the U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn't intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away from them. There are vague promises of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrogen. But for a country that tightly cites patriotism as one of its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the most patriotic struggle of all. It's hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the

survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and stability of its economy.

The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate change is a global emergency, there's far less agreement on how to fix it. Industry offers its pans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists offer theirs, which too often amount to native wish lists that could weaken American's growth. But let's assume that those interested parties and others will always bent the table and will always demand that their voices be heard and that their needs be addressed. What would an aggressive, ambitious, effective plan look like—one that would leave the U.S. both environmentally safe and economically sound?

Halting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conservative plans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 year. And yet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes and blends pragmatism(实用主义)with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money will do some of the work, but what's needed most is will. “I'm not saying the challenge isn't almost overwhelming,” says Fred Krupp. “But this is America, and America has risen to these challenges before.”

56. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Human wars.

B. Economic crisis.

C. America's environmental policies.

D. Global environment in general.

57. From the last sentence of paragraph 2 we may learn that the survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and the stability of its economy is__________.

A. of utmost importance

B. a fight no one can win

C. beyond people's imagination

D. a less significant issue

58. Judging from the context, the word “rub”(Line 1, Para.3)probably means_______.

A. friction

B. contradiction

C. conflict

D. problem

59. What is the author's attitude toward America's policies on global warming?

A. Critical

B. Indifferent

C. Supportive

D. Compromising

60. The paragraphs immediately following this passage would most probably deal with___________.

A. the new book written by Fred Krupp

B. how America can fight against global warming

C. the harmful effects of global warming

D. how America can tide over economic crisis

In this section there is a passage in English. Translate the five sentences underlined into Chinese and write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2.

With the nation’s financial system teetering on a cliff. The compensation arrangements for executives of the big banks and other financial firms are coming under close examination again.

B ankers’ excessive risk- taking is a significant cause of this financial crisis and has continued, to others in the past, in this case, it was fueled by low interest rates and kept going by a false sense of security created by a debt-fueled bubble in the economy.

Mortgage lenders gladly lent enormous sums to those who could not afford to pay them back dividing the laws and selling them off to the next financial institution along the chain, advantage of the same high-tech securitization to load on more risky mortgage-based assets.

Financial regulation will have to catch up with the most irresponsible practices that led banks down in this road, in hopes averting the next crisis, which is likely to involve different financial techniques and different sorts of assets. But it is worth examining the root problem of compensation schemes that are tied to short-term profits and revenue’s, and thus encourage bankers to take irresponsible risks.

As is known to all, short message is neither good nor bad itself. In my opinion, we can use it. But we shouldn’t spend too much time on it and don’t let it disturb us from our lives.

首先,根据题干要求明确写作对象,语域和结尾礼词。本文的写作对象是学校图书馆,但是题干没明确该人的称呼,甚至性别,所以只能使用To Whom It May Concern,或是Dear Sir/Madam.

本文是一篇写给校方的一封建议信,属于公务信函,写作过程中应使用正式语体,应避免出现省略语和缩略语。

结尾礼词可以使用Yours sincerely/ Sincerely yours,署名要严格遵守题目要求,使用Zhang Wei.

其次,根据题目规定的话题,构思作文。此处通常是考生犯下致命错误的地方:漏掉题目要求的要点,这样的错误在阅卷过程中是要严重。本题题目要求making suggestions for improving its service考生需要注意题干要求的是多条建议(suggestions)。

参考范文

Dear Sir or Madam,

As a freshman in our university, I do appreciate the valuable service provided in the library where I spend most of my spare time. To further improve the studying conditions there, I would like to put forward some practical suggestions.

Firstly, there is an urgent need for more powerful computers which would greatly facilitate our information search and learning. Secondly, the library should purchase more books published recently, for the outdated materials are of little value to students' study and research. Lastly, as we wish to borrow books on Saturdays as well, I wonder if it is possible to adjust the opening time.

I will be more than happy to see improvements in these regards.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming 范文分析:

本次考察建议信的书写,给学校图书馆的服务提出一些建议。本文首先格式正确。正文方面,作者开篇欲抑先扬,在提出建议之前,首先肯定了图书馆的作用对于学生的价值,能够很好的实现交际目的(communicative purpose)。接着第二段使用三个连接副词:firstly, secondly, Lastly,使建议内容清晰连贯,错落有致。建议具体内容的设想也都非常合乎情理。最后,表达建议被采纳的期望,再次突出写作目的,紧扣主题。

译文:

亲爱的先生或女士:

作为本校的一名大一学生,我很感谢图书馆为我们提供的很多有价值的服务,因为我的业务时间几乎都是在那里度过的。为了进一步提升图书馆的学习环境,我很愿意就此提出一些实用的建议。

首先,那里急需引进一批运行速度快一点的电脑,这将会促进信息搜索和学习。其次,图书馆应该为我们买一些出版年代新一点的图书,因为对于学生的学习和研究,一些年代久远的材料已经没有太大价值。最后,我们希望周六也能够借书,我很想知道图书馆是否能够调整一下开放时间。

如果图书馆对这方面有所改进,我将会非常感激。

真诚的学生,

MBA联考英语试卷是考研英语二试卷的前身,就写作部分来讲,MBA联考主要有图表和话题作文两个形式。话题作文,06-07年考查图表作文。MBA联考英语试卷08-09年三年考察话题作文,这和英语二2010到2012年的趋势不大相符,但是也提醒考生,话题作文在英语二中也是有可能考察到的。

本次考察一个社会生活的流行现象——手机短信的流行。根据短文写作的特点,对于新事物发表观点一般情况下都从正反两方面阐述。辩证的观点是永远的老套,但却是最保险的写法。因此,文章可以第一段引入话题,第二段对手机短信流行的好处和坏处对比论述。第三段总结自己的观点。

A Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children. During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 1. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney? A. Go shopping B. Find a house C. Join his family D. Take his family 2. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______. A. a friend of his family B. a Sydney policeman C. a letter in his papers D. a stranger in Sydney 3. What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean? A. Showed B. Sent out C. Delivered D. Gave back 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. From India to Australia. B. Living in a New Country.
