　　Tapescript:
　　M: Hi, Mary. How's everything?W: Fine. You know, John, I'm
planning to go to Las Vegas for a holiday and would like to stay in
a large hotel. Anything to recommend?M: Er? the Hilton Hotel there
is quite a large one. It has ? er ? 3,174 bedrooms. It also has 12
restaurants and about 125,000 square feet of convention space.
There're a 10-acre recreation deck and a stage show dining hall.
Over 3,600 people now work for it.W: Oh, great! Is it the largest
hotel in the U.S.?M: Yes, it is. But it may not be the largest in
the world. Er ? as far as I know, the Hotel Rossiya in Moscow is
larger than Hilton. It is a 12-story building that has 3,200 rooms.
It can provide accommodation for 6,000 guests. It takes nearly 8
years and a half to spend one night in each room. Besides, there's
a 21-story "Presidential tower" in the central courtyard. It has 15
restaurants and 93 elevators. And it employs about 3,000 people.
The ballroom is known as the world's largest. Russians are not
allowed to live in that hotel. And foreigners are charged 16 times
more than the very low rate charged Russian officials.W: It's

the questions.
Tapescript
　　W: Hello. It's been another warm and fine day for most of us.
Temperatures in south-east England reached twenty-six degrees
Centigrade by mid-afternoon, and Brighton had fifteen hours of
lovely sunshine. But already the weather is beginning to change,
I'm afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from
the Atlantic to reach south-west England and the southern coast of
Wales by early morning.The rest of the country will have a very
mild, dry night with minimum temperatures no lower than fifteen
degrees in the south, a little cooler ? eleven degrees or so ? in
the north. Any remaining showers in northwest Scotland will pass
quickly, to leave a mild, dry night there too.And now, the outlook
for Friday and the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again
get the best of the weekend weather, and if your holiday starts
this weekend, then southern Spain is the place to go, with
temperatures of thirty-four degrees along the Mediterranean coast.
At the eastern end of the Med, too, you can expect uninterrupted
sunshine and temperatures of up to thirty-two degrees Centigrade in
Greece and south-east Italy, but further north the weather's not so
settled. Much of France, Belgium and the Netherlands will be cloudy
with occasional rain and maximum temperatures will be around
twenty-two degrees ? very disappointing for this time of the
year.Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of
the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool seventeen degrees.
Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry
with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out temperatures
could rise to a maximum of twenty-three degrees.
　　Now you will hear the recording again. (The recording is
repeated.) 来源:考试大-公共英语考试
　　That is the end of Part B.
　　Part CYou will hear three dialogues or monologues. Before
listening to each one, you will have time to read the questions
related to it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A,
B, C or D. After listening, you will have time to check your
answer. You will hear each piece once only.Questions 11-13 are
based on the following talk introducing Emily Dickinson, a
well-known American poet. You now have 30 seconds to read questions
　　11. How long did Emily Dickinson live in the house where she
　　[A] almost all her life[B] less than half her life[C] until
1830[D] before 1872
　　12. Which of the following is true of Emily Dickinson?
　　[A] She was not a productive poet.[B] She saw many of her
poems published.[C] She was not a sociable person.[D] She had
contact only with a few poets.
　　13. When was Emily Dickinson widely recognized?
　　[A] after Henry James referred highly to her[B] after seven of
her poems were published[C] after her poems became known to
others[D] after she was dead for many years
　　Tapescript:
　　M: Emily Dickinson is one of the greatest American poets. She
was born in a typical New England village in Massachusetts on
December 10, 1830. She was the second child of the family. She died
in the same house fifty-six years later. During her life time she
never left her native land. She left her home state only once. She
left her village very few times. And after 1872 she rarely left her
house and yard. In the last years of her life she retreated to a
smaller and smaller circle of family and friends. In those later
years she dressed in white, avoided strangers, and communicated
chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who
attended her illness was allowed to "examine" her in another room,
seeing her walk by an opened door. She was thought of as a
"strange" figure in her home village. When she died on May 15,
1886, she was unknown to the rest of the world. Only seven of her
poems had appeared in print.But to think Emily Dickinson only as a
strange figure is a serious mistake. She lived simply and
deliberately. She faced the essential facts of life. According to
Henry James, a famous American novelist, she was one of those on
whom nothing was lost. Only by thus living could Dickinson manage
both to fulfill her obligations as a daughter, a sister, and a
housekeeper and to write on the average one poem a day.She read
only a few books but knew them deeply. Her poems are simple but
remarkably rich. Not until 1950s was she recognized as one of the
greatest American poets.

　　Section III Reading ComprehensionPart ARead the
following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by
choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET
　　Text 1
　　It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken.
After six months of arguing and a final 16 hours of hot
parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the
first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the
lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure was
passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word
flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by
John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of
Canada. He sent it on via the group's on-line service, Death NET.
Says Hofsess: "We posted bulletins all day long, because of course
this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world
history."The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights
of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens alike
trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have
brea others, including churches, right-to-life
groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked
the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to
turn back. In Australia ? where an aging population, life-extending
technology and changing community attitudes have all played their
part ? other states are going to consider making a similar law to
deal with euthanasia. In the U.S. and Canada, where the
right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting
for the dominoes to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory
law, an adult patient can request death ? probably by a deadly
injection or pill ? to put an end to suffering. The patient must be
diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off"
period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of
request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd
Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer,
the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living
without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from
his breathing condition. "I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual
point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because
I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and
clawing at their masks," he says.
　　1. From the second paragraph we learn that考试大论坛
　　[A] the objection to euthanasia is diminishing in some
countries.[B] physicians and citizens have the same view on
euthanasia.[C] technological changes are chiefly responsible for
the new law.[D] it takes time to appreciate the significance of
laws passed.
　　2. By saying that "observers are waiting for the dominoes to
start falling", the authormeans that
　　[A] observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the
future of euthanasia.[B] there is a possibility of similar bills
being passed in the U.S. and Canada.[C] observers are waiting to
see the movement end up in failure.[D] the process of the bill
taking effect may finally come to a stop.
　　3. When Lloyd Nickson is close to death, he will
　　[A] undergo a cooling off period of seven days.[B] experience
the suffering of a lung cancer patient.[C] have an intense fear of
terrible suffering.[D] face his death with the calm characteristic
of euthanasia.
　　4. What is the author's attitude towards euthanasia?
　　[A] Hostile.[B] Suspicious.[C] Approving.[D] Indifferent.
　　5. We can infer from the text that the author believes the
success of the right-to-diemovement is
　　[A] only a matter of time.[B] far from certain.[C] just an
illusion.[D] a shattered hope.
　　Part BRead the following text carefully and then
translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation
should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
　　Do animals have rights? This is how the question is usually
put. It sounds like a useful, ground-clearing way to start.
　　61) Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an
agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does
not have.On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows
that animals have none.
　　62) Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a
social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements.
Therefore, animals cannot have rights. The idea of punishing a
tiger that kill for exactly the same reason,
so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this is only one
account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies rights not
only to animals but also to some people ? for instance, to infants,
the mentally incapable and future generations. In addition, it is
unclear what force a contract can have for people who never
consented to it: how do you reply to somebody who says "I don't
like this contract"?The point is this: without agreement on the
rights of people, arguing about the rights of animals is
fruitless.
　　63) It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it
invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the
consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no
consideration at all. This is a false choice. Better to start with
another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a
moral issue at all?Many deny it.
　　64) Arguing from the view that humans are different from
animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think
that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. Any regard for
the suffering of animals is seen as a mistake ? a sentimental
displacement of feeling that should properly be directed to other
humans.This view, which holds that torturing a monkey is morally
equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely "logical". In fact it
is simply shallow: the confused center is right to reject it. The
most elementary form of moral reasoning ? the ethical equivalent of
learning to crawl ? is to weigh others' interests against one's
own. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without which
there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is
enough, for most, to engage sympathy.
　　65) When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's
instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be
encouraged rather than laughed at.

D When companies do business overseas, they come in contact with people from different cultures.& These individuals often speak a different language and have their own particular custom and manners.&&These differences can create problems. For example, in France, business meetings begin immediately at the scheduled time and everyone is expected to be there.&& Foreign business people who are slow in acting are often left outside to cool their heels as a means of letting them know the importance of promptness（准时）.&Unless one is aware of such expected behaviors he may end up insulting the people with whom he hopes to establish trade relations. A second traditional problem is that of monetary conversions(货币兑换).& For example, if a trade is conducted with Russia, payment may be made in rubles.&&Of course, this particular type of money used in Russia is of little value to the American firm.& It is, therefore, necessary to exchange the foreign money to American dollars.&&How much are these Russian rubles worth in terms of dollars?&&This exchange rate is determined by every market, where the money of countries are bought and sold.&& Thus there is an established rate, although it is often different from day to day.&&For example, the ruble may be worth 0.75 on Monday and 0.72 on Tuesday because of an announced wheat shortage in Russia.&&In addition, there is the problem associated with exchange at 0.72.&&Some financial institutions may be unwilling to pay this price, feeling that the ruble will sink much lower over the next week.&& As a result, exchange may finally come at 0.69.&& These "losses" must be accepted by the company as one of the costs of doing business overseas. A third unique problem is trade barriers.&&For one reason or another, all countries impose trade barriers on certain goods crossing their borders.& Some trade barriers are directly related to exports.& For example, the United States permits strategic military material to be shipped abroad only after government permission has been obtained.&&Most trade barriers, however, are designed to restrict import.& Two of the most common import barriers are quotas and tariffs.76. The best title for the passage would be ___. A. How to Succeed in International Trade B. Monetary Conversion C. Trade Barriers D. Unique Problems in International Trade77. In France, slow business people ___. A. are often insulted B. often suffer from coldness C. are often left outdoors waiting D. are often asked to polish their shoes78. According to the passage, exchange rates ___. A. seldom change
B. are determined by financial institutions C. are agreed upon by two trading countries D. vary from day to day79. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. Misunderstanding may occur because of the culture differences. B. Exchange rate can bring losses when doing international trade.
C. Most trade barriers are designed to restrict import.
D. All the exports must get the permission of the government.&& .

in order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must do much reading. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar. There are no shortcuts to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. it is not much learning by heart long lists ( 一览表 ) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "learn through use". Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.【小题1】 the most import things to learn a foreign language areA．understanding and speakingB．listening,speaking,reading and writingC．writing and understandingD．memorizing and listening【小题2】 Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because_____________.A．he doesn’t understand the language when he hears it spokenB．he doesn’t have a good memory.C．he always remembers lists of words and their meaningsD．he often hesitates to practice speaking it.【小题3】 Which is the most important in learning a foreign language?A．a good memory.B．speaking.C．practice.D．writing.【小题4】 “Learn though use” means___________.A．we use a language in order to learn itB．we learn a foreign language in order to use itC．we can learn a language well while we are keeping using itD．both b and c.

The market investigation is indispensable tosales promotion. They are as closely related as the lips and teeth, so tospeak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible tosucceed in selling a product without first investigating the market.&&& In the international market, goods onsale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keencompetition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible tofamiliarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, weought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offeringon the market, what prices they are quoting（报价）, what features their products have, who are theirregular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There aremany channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. Thecommercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us inmaking market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations sendtheir trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to makemarket surveys on the spot.&&&& Certainly, face-to-face talkswith foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information.The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature aswell as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities.
