16、tions. In Section A, there are three passages followed by a total of 15 multiple-choice questions. In Section B, there is one passage followed by a total of 5 short-answer questions. Read the passages and then mark or write down your answers on the Answer Sheet.Section A Multiple-Choice Questions (2
17、0%)Passage IQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The Timber rattlesnake, once widespread throughout the eastern United States, is now on the endangered species list and is extinct in two eastern states in which it once thrived. Compared to its western cousins, the Timber rattlesnake
18、 may be especially vulnerable because of certain behaviors adapted for coping with the cold climate in which it lives.Rattlesnakes are generally found in warm climates because, like all reptiles, they cannot generate or regulate their own body temperature internally and must rely on the suns warmth
19、for heat. But Timber rattlesnakes migrated into colder northern about 8,000 years ago when glaciers retreated. In these northern regions, the snakes developed a number of adaptive strategies to survive, but ultimately these behaviors make them more vulnerable to human predation, their main threat.On
20、e survival strategy the snakes have developed is hibernation. For approximately eight months of the year, the rattlers remain motionless in deep frost-free crevices, with their body temperature dropping as low as 40 degrees. In the spring when they emerge, they must warm their chilled bodies by sunn
21、ing for three or four days on rocks in the open. This behavior, coupled with the fact that Timber rattlesnakes tend to concentrate in large numbers at their wintering sites, makes them easy prey. Gestating females are particularly vulnerable because they spend much of their time basking in the sun i
22、n order to produce live young from eggs. In addition, females have very long interbirth intervals, producing live young only every three to five years. If a frost or cold spell comes late in the year, the entire litter of six to twelve young may die.Efforts are underway to protect the Timber rattles
23、nake and its habitat from further human depredation, but in many states it is already too late.31. What is the main topic of the passage?A. why Timber rattlesnakes hibernateB. how Timber rattlesnakes are survivingC. how Timber rattlesnakes adapted to northern climatesD. why Timber rattlesnakes are e
24、ndangered32. Which of the following is true about Timber rattlesnakes?A. They migrated to eastern states.B. They migrated northward during a warming period.C. They migrated to escape a cold climate.D. They migrated to the South to seek a warmer climate.33. In which of the following places might a pe
25、rson be most likely to find Timber rattlesnakes in the spring?A. in the woodsB. in meadowsC. in bushy areasD. in canyons34. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the rattlesnake being an endangered animal?A. hibernating for eight monthsB. basking in the sunC. congre
26、gating togetherD. having long intervals between births35. What is the authors tone attitude toward the topic?A. accusativeB. nostalgicC. regretfulD. humorousPassage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, res
27、earchers have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and “life in the fast lane“ have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be signi
28、ficantly longer and quite surprising.Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible
29、to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980s, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction o
30、f blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both female
31、s and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope o
32、f further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.36. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. risk factors in heart attacksB. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacksC. cardiology in the 1980sD. diet and stress as factors in heart attacks37. What do the second and third paragraph
33、s of the passage mainly discuss?A. the link between heart attacks and marriageB. unusual risk factors in heart attacksC. age and gender factors in heart attacksD. myths about lifestyle and heart attacks38. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many heart attacks
34、?A. decreased blood flow to the heartB. increased blood pressureC. lower heart rateD. increase in hormones39. Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor?A. having a birthdayB. getting marriedC. eating fatty foodsD. being under stress40. Which of the following does the passage infe
35、r?A. We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.B. We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks.C. We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks.D. We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.Passage 3Questions 4
36、1 to 45 are based on the following passage:The miserable fate of Enrons employees will be a landmark in business history, one of those awful events that everyone agrees must never be allowed to happen again. This urge is understandable and noble: thousands have lost virtually all their retirement sa
37、vings with the demise of Enron stock. But making sure it never happens again may not be possible, because the sudden impoverishment of those Enron workers represents something even larger than it seems. Its the latest turn in the unwinding of one of the most audacious promise of the 20th century.The
38、 promise was assured economic security - even comfort - for essentially everyone in the developed world. With the explosion of wealth that began in the 19th century it became possible to think about a possibility no one had dared to dream before. The fear at the center of daily living since caveman
39、days - lack of food, warmth, shelter - would at last lose its power to terrify. That remarkable promise became reality in many ways. Governments created welfare systems for anyone in need and separate programmes for the elderly (Social Security in the U.S.). Labour unions promised not only better pa
40、y for workers but also pensions for retirees. Giant corporations came into being and offered the possibility - in some cases the promise - of lifetime employment plus guaranteed pensions. The cumulative effect was a fundamental change in how millions of people approached life itself, a reversal of a
41、ttitude that most rank as one of the largest in human history. For millennia the average persons stance toward providing for himself had been. Ultimately Im on my own. Now it became, Ultimately Ill be taken care of.The early hints that this promise might be broken on a large scale came in the 1980s.
42、 U.S. business had become uncompetitive globally and began restructuring massively, with huge layoffs. The trend accelerated in the 1990s as the bastions of corporate welfare faced reality. IBM ended its no-layoff policy. AT&T fired thousands, many of whom found such a thing simply incomprehensible,
43、 and a few of whom killed themselves. The other supposed guarantors of our economic security were also in decline. Labour-union membership and power fell to their lowest levels in decades. President Clinton signed a historic bill scaling back welfare. Americans realized that Social Security wont pro
44、vide social security for any of us.A less visible but equally significant trend affected pensions. To make costs easier to control, companies moved away from defined-benefit pension plans, which obligate them to pay out specified amounts years in the future, to defined-contribution plans, which spec
45、ify only how much goes into the play today. The most common type of defined-contribution plan is the 401(k). The significance of the 401(k) is that it puts most of the responsibility fbr a persons economic fate back on the employee. Within limits the employee must decide how much goes into the plan
46、each year and how it gets invested - the two factors that will determine how much its worth when the employee retires.Which brings us back to Enron? Those billions of dollars in vaporized retirement savings went in employees,401(k) accounts. That is, the employees chose how much money to put into th
47、ose accounts and then chose how to invest it. Enron matched a certain proportion of each employees 401(k) contribution with company stock, so everyone was going to end up with some Enron in his or her portfolio; but that could be regarded as a freebie, since nothing compels a company to match employ
48、ee contributions at all.At least two special features complicate the Enron case. First, some shareholders charge top management with illegally covering up the companys problems, prompting investors to hang on when they should have sold. Second, Enrons 401(k) accounts were locked while the company changed plan administrators in October, when the sto
