［注釋］本題測試非限制性定語從句知識，同時也涉及形容詞的比較級和比較高級。THE LARGER OF WHICH引導非限制性定語從句。因為主句中提到兩項，兩者的比較，用比較級，［D］項是比較高級，所以錯了。
 ［A］the larger one
 ［B］the larger of which
 ［C］the largest one
 ［D］the largest of which

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
D
［注釋］本題考查考生能否排除虛擬語氣干擾，選擇正確時態(tài)。BUT連接了兩個并列的分句，第一個分句中用了虛擬語氣的過去式，BUT后是陳述語氣，動詞也用一般過去時。不少考生選用［B］ HAD BEEN,那是沒有注意連詞是BUT。
 ［A］were
 ［B］had been
 ［C］have been
 ［D］was

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
C
［注釋］本題考查固定詞語搭配。此題前一半是肯定句，“將可以從聯(lián)合國得到幫助”，后一半由BUT連接，表示轉折，顯然是對前半句的否定，只有NOWHERE是否定，所以［C］項正確。
 ［A］everywhere
 ［B］somewhere
 ［C］nowhere
 ［D］anywhere

 ［D］or

7、He claims to be an expert in astronomy,but in actual fact he is quite ignorant on the subject.[] he knows about it is out of date and inaccurate.

 ［B］So much

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
D
［注釋］本題考查現(xiàn)在分詞及過去分詞作定語時的區(qū)別。這是測試“WITH+名詞+分詞”的結構，實際上其中的名詞是分詞的邏輯主語，所以判斷用現(xiàn)在分詞，還是過去分詞，要看該名詞與分詞的關系。該名詞能發(fā)出分詞動作的，用現(xiàn)在分詞；反之，用過去分詞。此句中的名詞PHONE不能發(fā)出ADD這一動作，所以要用過去分詞，表示被動。
 ［A］adding
 ［B］to have added
 ［C］to add
 ［D］added

10、The vocabulary and grammatical differences between British and American English are so trivial and few as hardly [].

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
B
［注釋］本題考查考生對SO...AS TO...結構的熟識程度。此句主要結構是...DIFFERENCES...ARE SO TRIVIAL AND FEW AS HARDLY TO BE NOTICED。測試考生對SO...AS TO結構掌握程度。SO后面接了兩個意義上表示否定的詞，所以AS后面也要用否定，HARDLY正好表示否定，接TO BE NOTICED這一不定式的被動式，表示被動。
 ［A］noticed
 ［B］to be noticed
 ［C］being noticed
 ［D］to notice

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
B
［注釋］本題考查虛擬語氣知識。TURNED OFF改為(SHOULD) TURN OFF。動詞PROPOSE后面的THAT從句中，謂語動詞要用虛擬語氣，形式是(SHOULD)+動詞原形。
 ［A］
 ［B］
 ［C］
 ［D］

13、They (pointed out) ［A］ the damage (which) ［B］ they supposed (that) ［C］ had been done by last (night's) ［D］ storm.

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
C
［注釋］本題考查考生對插入語的認知。THAT應當去掉。WHICH THEY SUPPOSED…到比較后，是定語從句，修飾DAMAGE,關系代詞WHICH在從句中作主語，THEY SUPPOSED是插入語，所以THAT是多余的。
 ［A］
 ［B］
 ［C］
 ［D］

14、(Because of) ［A］ the recent accidents, our parents forbid my brother and me (from swimming)［B］ in the river (unless)［C］ someone agrees (to watch) ［D］ over us. 15�盇 great many ［A］ teachers firmly ［B］ believe that English is one of the poorest-taught ［C］ subjects in high schools at present.［D］

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
C
［注釋］本題考查詞與詞的對應修飾關系，如形容詞修飾名詞，副詞修飾動詞。POOREST�睺AUGHT改為MOST POORLY�睺AUGHT或POORLIEST�睺AUGHT。POOREST是形容詞，不可修飾過去分詞TAUGHT，所以應當把POOREST改為副詞比較高級。
 ［A］
 ［B］
 ［C］
 ［D］

16、In this way these insects show an efficient use of their (sound-produced) ［A］ ability, (organizing) ［B］ two sounds (delivered) ［C］ at a high rate as one (call).［D］

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
A
［注釋］ 本題考查現(xiàn)在分詞與過去分詞作定語時的區(qū)別。SOUND�睵RODUCED 改為 SOUND�睵RODUCING。名詞SOUND實際上是PRODUCING的賓語，所以要用現(xiàn)在分詞表示主動，不可用過去分詞。
 ［A］
 ［B］
 ［C］

（本題分值：0.5分）

【正確答案】
C
［注釋］本題涉及關系詞誤用問題。HOW改為THAT。THAT引導名詞性從句，作賓語。因為句子中沒有HOW的詞義，所以不可用它。若要用HOW，應說成HOW MISTAKEN I WAS。有許多考生選了［A］項，認為應當用TO BE BLAMED，實際上，總是用BE TO BLAME代替BE TO BLAMED。
 ［A］
 ［B］
 ［C］
 ［D］

【正確答案】
D
［注釋］本題考查省略式的表達問題。IS改為DOES，這兒的DOES與［B］項動詞WORKS相呼應，因為WORKS是行為動詞，所以用DOES來代替，而不用IS。
 ［A］
 ［B］
 ［C］
 ［D］

19、(As far as) ［A］ I am concerned, his politics (are) ［B］rather conservative (compared) ［C］ with other (politicians).［D］

 ［A］
 ［B］
 ［C］
 ［D］

單項選擇題

Passage1
It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken.After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates,Australia�餾 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 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�餾 on�瞝ine service,Death NET.Says Hofsess:“We posted bulletins all day long,because of course this isn�餿 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 breathed sighs of relief,others,including churches,right�瞭o�瞝ife 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�瞖xtending 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 US and Canada,where the right�瞭o�瞕ie 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�瞴ear�瞣ld 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�餯 go,because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.

［注釋］這是一道細節(jié)題。本題問的是第二段的大意。由于第二段第一句為全段的TOPIC SENTENCE,所以選項是轉述第二段第一句話的意思就對了。
 ［A］the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
 ［B］physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia
 ［C］changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law
 ［D］it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage

52、When the author says that observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling,he means [].

（本題分值：2分）

【正確答案】
B
［注釋］本題實際上是一道句義題，問“OBSERVERS ARE WAITING FOR THE DOMINOES TO START FALLING”是什么意思。字面意思是“觀察者正等待著多米諾骨牌開始倒下”。由于“多米諾骨牌”的特點是頭一張牌倒下必然導致許多牌相繼迅速倒下(即“多米諾骨牌效應”)。那么，結合上下文，我們可以知道作者的言下之意：澳大利亞通過該項法案后，其影響必然迅速波及美加，導致其他國家也可能通過該項法案。故應選［B］。
 ［A］observers are taking a wait�瞐nd�瞫ee attitude towards the future of euthanasia
 ［B］similar bills are likely to be passed in the US,Canada and other countries
 ［C］observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
 ［D］the effect�瞭aking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop

【正確答案】
C
［注釋］這是一道作者態(tài)度題。作者已借LOYD NICKSON之口表達了自己贊成安樂死態(tài)度。
譯文 解讀 清晨3∶45進行了比較后表決。經過半年的爭辯和比較后16個小時的國會激烈辯論，澳大利亞北部地區(qū)(即澳北州)成了世界上第一個允許醫(yī)生根據(jù)病人意愿結束絕癥患者生命的合法當局。這一法案是以15票對10票的無可爭議的結果通過的。這一消息幾乎同時出現(xiàn)在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上。身處地球另一端的加拿大死亡權利執(zhí)行主席約翰·霍夫塞斯收到這條消息后便通過協(xié)會的網(wǎng)上服務站“死亡之網(wǎng)”發(fā)了公告。他說：“我們一整天都在發(fā)布公告，這么做當然不是因為澳大利亞出了什么事情，而是因為這是要載入世界歷史的�！� 這是一個新聞體篇。
第一段肯定了安樂死法案的歷史意義。 這一立法的深刻意義可能要過一段時間才能為人們所理解。澳北州所通過的晚期病人權益法使得無論是內科醫(yī)生還是普通市民都同樣地力圖從道義和實際意義兩方面來對待這一問題。有些人如釋重負，另一些人，包括教會人士、生之權利組織成員以及澳大利亞醫(yī)學會成員則對此進行了猛烈抨擊，并譴責其草率通過。而安樂死潮流將不可逆轉。在澳大利亞，人口老齡化、延長壽命技術以及公眾態(tài)度的變化都在發(fā)揮著各自的作用。其他州也準備考慮制定類似的法規(guī)來處理安樂死問題。在美國和加拿大，死亡權利運動正在積蓄力量，觀察家正等待著多米諾骨牌產生的效應。 第二段講述了公眾、醫(yī)生乃至美國及加拿大的反應。指出盡管還需要一段時間才能使人們意識到法案的全部重要性，但歷史潮流已不可能倒轉。 依據(jù)澳北州所通過的這個新法案，成年病人可要求安樂死——大概是注射致死針劑或服用致死藥物——以結束痛苦的煎熬。但此前須經兩名醫(yī)生診斷其確實已病入膏肓。病人經過七天“冷靜思考”時間，方可簽署一份申請證明。48小時后，其安樂死愿望才能得到滿足。對于居住在達爾文的現(xiàn)年54歲的肺癌患者尼克森來說，這個法案意味著他可以平靜地生活下去而無需終日懼怕將要來臨的折磨：因呼吸困難而在煎熬中死去�！皬乃枷肷险f，我并不怕死，而怕的是怎樣死。”他說，“我曾看見醫(yī)院里的病人，死前抓撓氧氣罩，為一口氧氣苦苦掙扎。” 第三段舉例說明了安爾死的申請實施過程。
 ［A］opposition
 ［B］suspicion
 ［C］approval
 ［D］indifference

Passage2
A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly,courteous,and helpful most Americans were to them.To be fair,this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians,and should best be considered North American.There are,of course,exceptions Small�瞞inded officials,rude waiters,and ill�瞞annered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.
For a long period of time and in many parts of the country,a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another.Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion,and brought news of the outside world.
The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.Someone traveling alone,if hungry,injured,or ill,often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement.It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers.It reflected the harshness of daily life:if you didn�餿 take in the stranger and take care of him,there was no one else who would.And someday,remember,you might be in the same situation.
Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler.Yet,the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US,especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails.“I was just traveling through,got talking with this American,and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing.” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon,but are not always understood properly.The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial,but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.
As is true of any developed society,in America a complex set of cultural signals,assumptions,and conventions underlies all social interrelationships.And,of course,speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns.Visitors who fail to “translate” cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions.For example,when an American uses the word “friend”,the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor�餾 language and culture.It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest.Yet,being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.

［注釋］這是一道細節(jié)題。全文比較后一句話即為本題的答案。被視為美德的東西是會被保持的，而不會是膚淺和虛偽的。
譯文 解讀 去美國訪問的人經常帶回報告說，大多數(shù)美國人對他們友善、好客、樂于助人。公平地說，人們對加拿大和加拿大人也有這樣的評論。這比較好應該看成是北美普遍存在的現(xiàn)象。當然也有例外，在美國，心胸狹隘的官員、舉止粗魯?shù)恼写�以及缺乏修養(yǎng)的出租車司機也并不罕見。但由于人們常得出上述結論，那就值得議論一番了。 這是一篇議論文。
第一段指出美國人給人留下了友好、樂于助人的印象。盡管有例外情況，但這種樂于助人的結論也是值得討論的。 在過去很長一段時間，在美國很多地方，施行者的到來對沉悶的生活有著可喜的調節(jié)作用。那時人們居住相距遙遠，沉悶、孤寂是普遍存在的問題。陌生人和旅行者很受歡迎，能給他們帶來消遣娛樂，同時還帶來了外面世界的消息。
拓荒者面對的嚴酷生活現(xiàn)實也促成這一好客傳統(tǒng)。獨自旅行時，如果沒有了食物，受了傷或生了病，通常只能向比較近的小屋或村落求助。對旅行者來說，這不是選擇的問題，對當?shù)厝藖碚f，這也并非出于要行善的一時沖動。它反映了日常生活的嚴酷性：如果你不接納他，那他便找不到別人了。請記住，沒準兒哪天你也會面臨相同的處境。 第二、三段從歷史角度探討產生這一現(xiàn)象的原因。 現(xiàn)在有了不少慈善組織，專門幫助疲憊不堪的旅行者。但是對陌生人友好的老傳統(tǒng)在美國仍盛行不衰，尤其是在遠離旅游熱線的小城鎮(zhèn)�！拔覄傓D了一圈，同這個美國人聊了聊。時間不長，他就請我到他家吃飯——真是不可思議�！痹趤砻绹�的游客中碰到過這類事的人不在少數(shù)，但對此并非都能正確理解。許多美國人隨意表現(xiàn)出來的友好態(tài)度不應看作表面應付或故作姿態(tài)，應當視為歷史發(fā)展形式的一種文化傳統(tǒng)。 第四段從文化的角度探討產生這一現(xiàn)象的原因。 同任何發(fā)達國家一樣，所有美國人的社會交往都要受制于一整套復雜的文化特征、信念和習俗。當然，會講一種語言并不意味著就明白該語言的社會與文化模式，不能正確“詮釋”文化意義的旅行者經常得出錯誤的結論。比如，美國人嘴里的“朋友”，其文化內涵可能與旅行者母語中的“朋友”所指及文化內涵大相徑庭。要想分清稱呼“朋友”是出自好客的習俗還是出自個人興趣，只靠在公共汽車上的萍水相逢是不夠的。但是，友善是許多美國人大力推崇的美德，他們也希望鄰人與陌生人也會如此。 第五段重申美國人視助人為樂為一種美德。
 ［A］tends to be superficial and artificial
 ［B］is generally well kept up in the United States
 ［C］is always understood properly
 ［D］has something to do with the busy tourist trails

Passage3
Technically,any substance other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a drug.Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts.They don�餿 realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco are also drugs.This is why the more neutral term substance is now used by many physicians and psychologists.The phrase “substance abuse” is often used instead of “drug abuse” to make clear that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine.
We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances (drugs)is pervasive:an aspirin to quiet a headache,some wine to be sociable,coffee to get going in the morning,a cigarette for the nerves.When do these socially acceptable and apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses?First of all,most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions.Repeated use of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence.Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance,with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect,and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.
Drugs (substances) that affect the central nervous system and alter perception,mood,and behavior are known as psychoactive substances.Psychoactive substances are commonly grouped according to whether they are stimulants,depressants,or hallucinogens.Stimulants initially speed up or activate the central nervous system,whereas depressants slow it down.Hallucinogens have their primary effect on perception,distorting and altering it in a variety of ways including producing hallucinations.These are the substances often called psychedelic (from the Greek word meaning “mind�瞞anifesting”) because they seemed to radically alter one�餾 state of consciousness.

［注釋］這是一道細節(jié)題。本題問的是文中認為“物質濫用”的說法好是“藥物濫用”的原因。第一段比較后一句話清楚地給出了答案，即其他物質，例如煙、酒的濫用與海洛因一樣有害。這里決不只是說煙草和酒精。“SUCH AS”說明只是以之舉例，所以［D］正確，［C］不正確。
 ［A］substances can alter our bodily or mental functioning if illegally used
 ［B］“drug abuse” is only related to a limited number of drug takers
 ［C］alcohol and tobacco are as fatal as heroin and cocaine
 ［D］many substances other than heroin or cocaine can also be poisonous

 ［D］careless employment of them for unpleasant symptoms

62、From the last paragraph we can infer that [].

（本題分值：2分）

【正確答案】
B
［注釋］這是一道推斷題。［A］的意思是興奮劑對神經的作用是積極的，而文中只說它能加速、激活人的中樞神經系統(tǒng)，而并未對這種加速本身的好壞作出評價。［C］的意思在文中沒有表達。［D］具有一定迷惑作用。原文說的是PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES(對神經起顯著作用的藥物)可分為以下三類，而不是按類結合使用。而文中論及幻覺劑時，用了DISTORTING(扭曲)及“根本上改變人的精神狀態(tài)”等來表述，表達了其本身對人有害的意思。
譯文 解讀 從技術角度講，除食品外，任何能改變我們生理和心理機能的物質都是藥物。許多人錯誤地認為“藥物”這個詞僅指某些藥品或嗜毒者服用的違禁化學品。他們沒有認識到像酒精、煙草這些熟悉的物質也是藥物。這也就是為什么許多醫(yī)生和心理學家現(xiàn)在使用了一個更為中性的詞——物質，他們常用“物質濫用”而不用“藥物濫用”來清楚表明濫用酒精和煙草這樣的物質同濫用海洛因和可卡因一樣有害。 這是一篇議論文。
第一段提出并定義藥物濫用。 在我們生活的社會里，物質(藥物)被廣泛地使用于社會交往和疾病醫(yī)治：服阿司匹林來緩解頭痛，喝點兒酒來應酬，早晨喝咖啡來提神，吸支煙鎮(zhèn)定一下情緒等。使用這些物質得到了社會認可，而且顯然具有積極的一面，但什么時候變成濫用了呢?首先，大多數(shù)物質使用過量都會產生副作用，譬如中毒或反復使用一種物質可導致上癮或對該物質(藥物)的依賴。依賴的比較初表現(xiàn)為耐受力增強，用量越來越大才能達到預期效果，一旦停用就會出現(xiàn)不舒服的停藥癥狀。 第二段指出藥物濫用的形成原因，過度或頻繁使用藥物造成依賴使對這些藥物積極的使用變成了濫用。 影響中樞神經系統(tǒng)和改變感知覺、情緒和行為的藥物(物質)被稱為心理活性物質。這類物質一般分為興奮劑、鎮(zhèn)靜劑和幻覺劑。興奮劑主要起到加速或刺激中樞神經系統(tǒng)活動的作用，而鎮(zhèn)靜劑則相反：使其活動減慢。幻覺劑主要作用于人的知覺，以各種不同的方式對知覺加以扭曲和改變，其中包括產生幻覺。這些物質常被認為能“引起幻覺”(PSYCHEDELIC一詞源自希臘語，意思是“心靈顯現(xiàn)”)，因為它們似乎能改變人的意識形態(tài)。 第三段指出分別介紹了影響中樞神經系統(tǒng)，改變感知覺和行為的三種藥物。
 ［A］stimulants function positively on the mind
 ［B］hallucinogens are in themselves harmful to health
 ［C］depressants are the worst type of psychoactive substances
 ［D］the three types of psychoactive substances are commonly used in groups

Passage4
No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of a nation.“Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers?” Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week.“You have sold your souls,but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?” At Time Warner,however,such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul�瞫earching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990.It�餾 a self�瞖xamination that has,at various times,involved issues of responsibility,creative freedom and the corporate bottom line.
At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin,56,who took over for the late Steve Ross in 1992.On the financial front,Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company�餾 mountainous debt,which will increase to $17��3 billion after two new cable deals close.He has promised to see off some of the property and restructure the company,but investors are waiting impatiently.
The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him.Levin has consistently defended the company�餾 rap music on the grounds of expression.In 1992,when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice�睺�餾 violent rap song Cop Killer,Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture,which deserves an outlet.“The test of any democratic society,”he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column,“l(fā)ies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude,however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be.We won't retreat in the face of any threats.”
Levin would not comment on the debate last week,but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard�瞝ine stand,at least to some extent.During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting,Levin asserted that “music is not the cause of society's ills” and even cited his son,a teacher in the Bronx,New York,who uses rap to communicate with students.But he talked as well about the “balanced struggle” between creative freedom and social responsibility,and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.
The 15�瞞ember Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy.But insiders say several of them have shown their concerns in this matter.“Some of us have known for many,many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited,” says Luce.“I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this.”

（本題分值：2分）

【正確答案】
A
［注釋］這是一道主旨題。文章的核心是時代�踩A納公司，主要內容是對該公司的批評與辯論。所以［A］(遭到非難的公司)比較為合適。譯文 解讀 沒有哪家公司樂意聽到別人說它敗壞了社會風氣。上星期參議員羅伯特·多爾質問時代-華納公司經理們時問道，“莫非這就是你們要成就的事業(yè)嗎?你們已經出賣了自己的靈魂，難道還一定要腐蝕整個民族，威脅下一代嗎?”不過，對于成立于1990年的時代-華納公司來說，這樣的質詢只不過是公司自我解剖的比較新表白，是在不同時期關系到責任、創(chuàng)作自由和利潤等問題的自我檢查。 這是一個新聞體篇。
第一段提出有人員指責時代華納公司缺乏應有的社會責任感。 56歲的董事長杰拉爾德·萊文是爭論的焦點人物。萊文是在1992年取代已故董事長史蒂夫·羅斯的。財政上，他承受著抬高股價、減少公司巨額債務的壓力。在談定兩筆新的有線電視買賣后，債務將達到173億美元。他已答應出售部分財產，重組公司。然而，投資者正在焦躁地等待著。
夸大說唱音樂的作用并未使他的日子好過一些。萊文一直以表達情感為借口捍衛(wèi)公司的說唱音樂。1992年，公司因出品冰特樂隊的狂暴的說唱歌曲《警察殺手》而備受責難時，萊文說，這是街頭文化的合法表達形式，它應該有自己的宣泄渠道。他在《華爾街日報》一篇專欄文章中寫道：“對任何一個民主社會的檢驗不在于它如何嚴格地控制言論的自由表達，而在于它能否盡可能寬松地給予人們思考和表達的自由——不管其結果有時候可能引起多么大的爭議和憤怒。面對威脅，我們決不退卻�！� 第二、三段指出處于爭議中心的時代華納公司董事長的處境及其所持強硬立場。 萊文對上周的評論不置一辭，但有跡象表明這位總裁的強硬立場起碼在一定程度上有所松動。在上個月舉行的股東大會上，人們討論了搖滾樂的唱詞。萊文強調說：“音樂不是社會丑惡現(xiàn)象的根源”，并且還舉了他那在紐約布郎克斯任教的兒子為例，他的兒子以說唱音樂的形式與學生交流。但他也談到了創(chuàng)作自由與社會責任要“努力保持平衡”的問題。他宣布，公司將盡力對可能招致人們反對的音樂制定各種發(fā)行和標識的標準。 第四段指出在這次爭議中，他做出某些程度的讓步，提出應在創(chuàng)造自由和社會責任中尋找平衡。 總的來說，時代-華納公司董事會的15名董事是支持他的立場和公司經營策略的，但據(jù)內部人士透露，其中幾位對此表示擔憂�！拔覀儺斨杏械娜嗽S多年來就知道憲法修正案第一條講的自由不是寬大無邊的�！北R斯說，“但覺得公司里有些人可能比較近才意識到這一點。” 第五段指出公司董事會在這次爭議中意識到了問題，意見出現(xiàn)了分歧。
 ［A］A Company under Fire
 ［B］A Debate on Moral Decline
 ［C］A Lawful Outlet of Street Culture
 ［D］A Form of Creative Freedom

Passage5
Much of the language used to describe monetary policy,such as “steering the economy to a soft landing” or “a touch on the brakes”,makes it sound like a precise science.Nothing could be further from the truth.The link between interest rates and inflation is uncertain.And there are long,variable lags before policy changes have any effect on the economy.Hence the analogy that likens the conduct of monetary policy to driving a car with a blackened windscreen,a cracked rear�瞯iew mirror and a faulty steering wheel.
Given all these disadvantages,central bankers seem to have had much to boast about of late.Average inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2.3% last year,close to its lowest level in 30 years,before rising slightly to 2.5% this July.This is a long way below the double�瞕igit rates which many countries experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s.
It is also less than most forecasters had predicted.In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America�餾 inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995.In fact,it fell to 2.6% in August,and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole.In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year.This is no flash in the pan;over the past couple of years,inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.
Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States,since conventional measures suggest that both economies,and especially America�餾,have little productive slack.America�餾 capacity utilization,for example,hit historically high levels earlier this year,and its jobless rate (5.6% in August)has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment—the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.
Why has inflation proved so mild?The most thrilling explanation is,unfortunately,a little defective.Some economists argue that powerful structural changes in the world have up�瞖nded the old economic models that were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.

B
［注釋］這是一道是非判斷題。第四段比較后一句話表明當失業(yè)率低于人們估計的自然失業(yè)率時，通脹率便已起飛(TAKE OFF)。這顯然是［B］的意思。
 ［A］Making monetary policies is comparable to driving a car.
 ［B］An extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation.
 ［C］A high unemployment rate will result from inflation.
 ［D］Interest rates have an immediate effect on the economy.

【正確答案】
D
［注釋］這是一道態(tài)度題。作者用大部分篇幅描述了目前經濟形勢中出乎意料的情況。表達了他的驚奇。認為其不可思議。
譯文 解讀 “經濟軟著陸”，“讓經濟剎車”不少這類描述金融政策的詞語聽起來令人覺得這是一門嚴謹?shù)目茖W。事實上絕非如此。利率與通貨膨脹率之間的聯(lián)系并不是確定的。政策變化對經濟產生影響之前會出現(xiàn)為時不短而且變化莫測的滯后期。因此人們將金融政策的實施比做駕駛一輛擋風玻璃灰暗、后視鏡破碎而且方向盤失靈的破車。 這是一篇議論文。
第一段指出經濟運行難以預測，貨幣政策不能有效調控通貨膨脹。 雖然有這么多不利因素，但近來央行的銀行家似乎有了不少可以夸耀的東西。七大工業(yè)國經濟的通脹率去年平均降到了2.3%，接近三十年以來比較低水平，今年七月才微微上揚到2.5%，比許多國家在20世紀70年代和80年代早期的兩位數(shù)通脹率低多了。 第二段指出各國經濟形勢比預想的好，平均通貨膨脹率比預測的低。 這也比大多數(shù)預言家預測的要低�！督洕鷮W家》每月都要邀請一些經濟專家座談，1994年底特邀的經濟專家們說，1995年美國的平均通脹率將達到3.5%。事實上，在八月份就降到了2.6%，而且全年的通脹率有望維持在3%左右。在英國和日本，通脹率比去年年底預計的低半個百分點。這絕不是曇花一現(xiàn)，在過去兩三年里，英美兩國的通脹率持續(xù)低于預期數(shù)值。
特別讓經濟學家驚詫不已的是，英美兩國的通脹率帶來的是良性結果，因為傳統(tǒng)的衡量辦法表明兩國(特別是美國)的經濟生產幾乎沒有出現(xiàn)滑坡。比如，在今年早些時候，美國的生產力利用率創(chuàng)歷史新高，而失業(yè)率(八月份為5.6%)卻低于多數(shù)人預測的自然失業(yè)率。而在過去，失業(yè)率低于此，通脹率就會上升。 第三、四段指出經濟學家沒有預料到目前的經濟形勢會這么好。 為什么通貨膨脹未造成什么沖擊?可惜的是，比較令人振奮的解釋也不是無懈可擊。某些經濟學家認為，巨大的世界性的結構變化已打破了原有的以經濟增長和通貨膨脹之間的歷史聯(lián)系為基礎的舊的經濟模式。 第五段提出通貨膨脹如此輕微的原因。
 ［A］critical of
 ［B］puzzled by
 ［C］disappointed at
 ［D］amazed at
Part Ⅳ English�睠hinese Translation(每題3分，共15分)Directions:
Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Your translation must be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(15 points)

Do animals have rights?This is how the question is usually put.It sounds like a useful,ground�瞔learing way to start.(71)(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.(72)(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 kills somebody is absurd;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.(73)(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.(74)(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 “l(fā)ogical”.In fact it is simply shallow:the confused centre 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�餾 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.(75)(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.)
