Each of the passages below is followed by some questions.For each question there are four answers marked [A],[B],[C]and [D].Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil.(40 points)


Passage1
Specialisation can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge.By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units,one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research.But specialisation was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication.Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.
No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science:exceptions can be found to any rule.Nevertheless,the word “amateur”does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and,in particular,may not fully share its values,The growth of specialisation in the nineteenth century,with its consequent requirement of a longer,more complex training,implied greater problems for amateur participation in science.The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training,and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.
A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research,but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper.Thus,in the nineteenth century,local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right;but,in the twentieth century,local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate,and reflect on,the wider geological picture.Amateurs,on the other hand,have continued to pursue local studies in the old way.The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs,a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing,first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century.As a logical consequence of this development,separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership.A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies,whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way. Although the process of professionalisation and specialisation was already well under way in British geology during the nineteenth century,its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century.In science generally,however ,the nineteenth century must be reckoned as the crucial period for this change in the structure of science.
51、The growth of specialisation in the 19th century might be more clearly seen in sciences such as.

(本題分值:2分)


【正確答案】
D
[注釋]這是一道類比判斷題。細(xì)節(jié)類比判斷題。作者在第1段一開頭就指出,專業(yè)化是科學(xué)知識(shí)不斷積累的結(jié)果。把學(xué)科內(nèi)容分成更小的單位,科學(xué)家就能不斷處理這些信息,并以此作為進(jìn)一步研究的基礎(chǔ)。在第2段比較后一句中又指出,這種趨勢在那引進(jìn)尤其是以數(shù)學(xué)或?qū)嶒?yàn)室訓(xùn)練為基礎(chǔ)的科學(xué)領(lǐng)域自然比較為明顯。英國地質(zhì)學(xué)的發(fā)展就能說明這一點(diǎn)�?梢�,以數(shù)學(xué)或?qū)嶒?yàn)室訓(xùn)練為基礎(chǔ)的學(xué)科一般是指自然科學(xué),故[D]“物理學(xué)和化學(xué)”比較為切題。

(本題分值:2分)


【正確答案】
B
[注釋]這是一道推斷題。該問題是:從文章中我們可以推斷出什么。此題我們可用排除法。[A]答案為:“專業(yè)分工和專業(yè)化之間沒有什么差別”。但我們可以從文章第一段比較后兩句看出,專業(yè)分工和專業(yè)化是科學(xué)發(fā)展的兩個(gè)方面,兩者不同,所以[A]不符合。[C]答案為:“專業(yè)人員傾向于歡迎業(yè)余人員加入到他們的科學(xué)團(tuán)體中去”,可是文章第二段指出專業(yè)人員與非專業(yè)人員的不同價(jià)值和標(biāo)準(zhǔn),此文第三段指出的專業(yè)刊物對業(yè)余人員的論文的“高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”及出現(xiàn)的不同刊物和學(xué)術(shù)團(tuán)體,可知[C]是錯(cuò)誤的,[D]答案和第三段比較后一句話的意思明顯相違背,所以[D]也錯(cuò)誤。故選[B]。
 [A]there is little distinction between specialisation and professionalisation
 [B]amateurs can compete with professionals in some areas of science
 [C]professionals tend to welcome amateurs into the scientific community
 [D]amateurs have national academic societies but no local ones

 [A]the process of specialisation and professionalisation
 [B]the hardship of amateurs in scientific study
 [C]the change of policies in scientific publications
 [D]the discrimination of professionals against amateurs


54、The direct reason for specialisation is.

(本題分值:2分)


【正確答案】
C
[注釋]這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題,問專業(yè)化的直接導(dǎo)因是什么。該問題問專業(yè)分工的直接原因是什么。我們可以根據(jù)第一段第一句“專業(yè)分工可以看做是對科學(xué)知識(shí)不斷積累問題的反映”得知[C]答案“科學(xué)知識(shí)的膨脹”正確,而其他三項(xiàng)均不符合題意。譯文 解讀 可以把專業(yè)分工看作是對科學(xué)知識(shí)的不斷積累問題的反映�?茖W(xué)知識(shí)按內(nèi)容類別可分成較小的單元,人們可以繼續(xù)把握信息并把它作為進(jìn)一步研究的基礎(chǔ)。然而,專業(yè)分工只是影響信息交流過程的一系列相關(guān)科學(xué)發(fā)展的一部分。另一部分是科學(xué)活動(dòng)不斷地專業(yè)化的傾向。 這是一篇議論文。
第一段指出科學(xué)知識(shí)的積累造成了知識(shí)的進(jìn)一步分類和分化,即專業(yè)化發(fā)展。與專業(yè)化發(fā)展同時(shí)并存的另一現(xiàn)象是科學(xué)活動(dòng)的日益職業(yè)化。 在科學(xué)上,專業(yè)人員和非專業(yè)人員之間沒有明確的界線:任何規(guī)則都有例外。然而,“業(yè)余人員”一詞確實(shí)包含這樣的意義:他并沒有與科學(xué)界集結(jié)成一體,特別是可能與專業(yè)人員的價(jià)值標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的不同。19世紀(jì)專業(yè)分工的發(fā)展要求時(shí)間更長、內(nèi)容更加復(fù)雜的培訓(xùn),這暗示了業(yè)余人員參加科學(xué)活動(dòng)具有更大的問題。這一趨勢在以數(shù)學(xué)和實(shí)驗(yàn)室培訓(xùn)為基礎(chǔ)的科學(xué)領(lǐng)域里表現(xiàn)得比較為自然和明顯。英國地質(zhì)學(xué)的發(fā)展可以證明這一問題。 第二段指出專業(yè)化的發(fā)展給業(yè)余研究者的進(jìn)入帶來了困難,這種趨勢在某些科學(xué)領(lǐng)域尤為突出。 將英國比較近一個(gè)半世紀(jì)以來的地質(zhì)學(xué)刊物作比較,可以發(fā)現(xiàn),不僅研究的重要性越來越受到重視,而且,學(xué)術(shù)論文的出版標(biāo)準(zhǔn)也在不斷變化。所以,雖然19世紀(jì)區(qū)域地質(zhì)學(xué)研究的本身代表了有價(jià)值的科研活動(dòng);但是,在20世紀(jì),區(qū)域研究只有在涉及包容、思考更寬范圍的問題時(shí),才越來越被專業(yè)人員所接受。另一方面,業(yè)余人員仍然以舊的方式繼續(xù)進(jìn)行區(qū)域研究。結(jié)果是,業(yè)余人員更難在專業(yè)的地質(zhì)刊物上發(fā)表論文。19世紀(jì)的國家級(jí)雜志和20世紀(jì)的幾家地方地質(zhì)雜志先后廣泛地引入了評審制度,這就使這一問題表現(xiàn)得更為突出。這一發(fā)展的結(jié)果必然是:出現(xiàn)了以專業(yè)讀者或非專業(yè)讀者為主要對象的刊物。另一極其相似的分化過程是,全國的專業(yè)地質(zhì)學(xué)者集中在一起,組成一兩個(gè)專業(yè)的團(tuán)體,然而,非專業(yè)人員則傾向于留在地方學(xué)會(huì)里,或者,以另一種大不相同的方式在全國范圍內(nèi)聚集起來。 第三段指出以英國地質(zhì)學(xué)研究為例,說明專業(yè)人員和業(yè)余人員之間分化越來越明顯。 在19世紀(jì),雖然專業(yè)化和專業(yè)的分工過程在英國地質(zhì)學(xué)領(lǐng)域內(nèi)早就開始形成,但其結(jié)果充分表現(xiàn)出來卻延遲到20世紀(jì)。然而,從整個(gè)科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的范圍來講,19世紀(jì)必定被認(rèn)為是這種科學(xué)結(jié)構(gòu)改變的關(guān)鍵期。 第四段指出面對這種專業(yè)化和職業(yè)化過程,19世紀(jì)的英國地質(zhì)學(xué)領(lǐng)域是其變化的關(guān)鍵時(shí)期。
 [A]the development in communication

 [C]the expansion of scientific knowledge
 [D]the splitting up of academic societies


Passage 2
A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide—the division of the world into the info (information) rich and the info poor.And that divide does exist today.My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago.What was less visible then,however,were the new,positive forces that work against the digital divide.There are reasons to be optimistic. There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow.As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized,it is in the interest of business to universalize access—after all,the more people online,the more potential customers there are.More and more governments,afraid their countries will be left behind,want to spread Internet access.Within the next decade or two,one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together.As a result,I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead.And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that weve ever had. Of course,the use of the Internet isnt the only way to defeat poverty.And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential. To take advantage of this tool,some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anticolonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment.Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States.When the United States built its industrial infrastructure,it didnt have the capital to do so.And that is why Americas Second Wave infrastructure—including roads,harbors,highways,ports and so on—were built with foreign investment.The English,the Germans,the Dutch and the French were investing in Britains former colony.They financed them.Immigrant Americans built them.Guess who owns them now? The Americans.I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter.The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure,which today is an electronic infrastructure,the better off youre going to be.That doesnt mean lying down and becoming fooled,or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled.But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet. 55、Digital divide is something.

【正確答案】
C
[注釋]這是一道推斷題。段落內(nèi)容綜合推斷題。第1段中作者寫道:“現(xiàn)在人們十分注意所謂數(shù)字化劃分問題”,接著又寫道:“20年前我妻子和我就談及這種隱約的危險(xiǎn),然而,當(dāng)時(shí)看起來還不太清楚的事是抵制數(shù)字化劃分的新的積極的因素。我們有理由感到樂觀�!本C合上述內(nèi)容,作者認(rèn)為,數(shù)字化劃分是人們關(guān)注的問題,而且是一種“危險(xiǎn)”,并指出有許多“新的積極的因素”來“抵制數(shù)字化劃分”,而且對此“感到樂觀”。可見,數(shù)字化劃分是“世界必須防范”的事。而[A]答案“由于英特網(wǎng)而變得日益嚴(yán)重”可參照文章第二段倒數(shù)第二、三句“在未來的20年內(nèi),世界上將有一二十億人入英特網(wǎng)。因此,我認(rèn)為將來信息差異只能縮小,不會(huì)擴(kuò)大”可知[A]答案與內(nèi)容相反,[B]答案文章未提及,[D]則與內(nèi)容相反。

A
[注釋]這是一道推斷題。該題問現(xiàn)在一個(gè)國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)似乎依賴什么。我們可以參照文章比較后一段倒數(shù)第三句“當(dāng)今是第三次浪潮,即電子基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的建設(shè)。發(fā)展電子設(shè)施所擁有的資本越多,將來就越富有”因此[A]答案“電子方面是否發(fā)達(dá)”正確,[B]和[C]答案文章并未提及,[D]答案“該國對外國公司控制的力度”與文章內(nèi)容不符,故答案[A]正確。譯文 解讀 現(xiàn)如今人們正在關(guān)注著所謂的信息差異,即世界上信息資源豐富的地區(qū)與信息資源貧乏地區(qū)之間的差異。今天,這種差異的確存在。我和妻子20年前就當(dāng)時(shí)隱約出現(xiàn)的這種危險(xiǎn)也做過講演。然而,可以防止這種信息差出現(xiàn)的一些新的積極因素在當(dāng)時(shí)并不如現(xiàn)在這樣明顯�,F(xiàn)在,我們有理由不必為此悲觀。 這是一篇議論文。
第一段指出信息差異的存在是危險(xiǎn)的,但仍有值得樂觀的地方。 從技術(shù)方面看,這種信息差異有希望縮小。因?yàn)殡S著英特網(wǎng)日益商業(yè)化、普及,其使用符合商家的利益。畢竟,上網(wǎng)的人數(shù)越多,未來的顧客就越多。目前,由于害怕自己的國家會(huì)落后,越來越多的政府將擴(kuò)大英特網(wǎng)的使用范圍。在未來的20年內(nèi),世界上將有一二十億人入英特網(wǎng)。因此,我認(rèn)為將來信息差異只能縮小,不會(huì)再擴(kuò)大。這消息確實(shí)不錯(cuò),因?yàn)�,英特網(wǎng)完全可以成為戰(zhàn)勝目前我們所面臨的世界貧困的有力工具。 第二段指出互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)的發(fā)展將慢慢消除國家間的這種差距。 當(dāng)然,使用英特網(wǎng)并不是戰(zhàn)勝貧困的惟一方法,而且英特網(wǎng)也不是我們擁有的惟一工具,但是,其潛力巨大。 第三段指出英特網(wǎng)雖不是惟一但卻是重要的工具。 為了利用英特網(wǎng)這一工具,一些貧困國家必須拋棄對外國投資所持有的那種已過時(shí)的反殖民偏見。仍然認(rèn)為外國投資是對本國主權(quán)的一種入侵的那些國家比較好研究一下美國建設(shè)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的歷史。美國當(dāng)初建設(shè)自己的工業(yè)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施時(shí)沒有足夠的資本。這就是美國的第二浪潮,即基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的建設(shè),包括公路、港口、交通干線、碼頭等都用外國投資的原因。英國、德國、荷蘭及法國當(dāng)時(shí)都為這一英國前殖民地投了資金。這些國家的投資,美國移民的建設(shè),猜猜看,現(xiàn)在誰擁有這些設(shè)施呢?是美國人。我相信在巴西及別的地方,這類情況是相同的。當(dāng)今是第三次浪潮,即電子基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的建設(shè)。發(fā)展電子設(shè)施所擁有的資本越多,將來就越富有。但這并不意味著屈從和任人榨取,也不意味著外國公司可以隨意發(fā)展。然而這確實(shí)表明資本在建設(shè)能源及電信基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施中是至關(guān)重要的,而這些基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施對于充分利用英特網(wǎng)也是必不可少的。 第四段指出要想充分利用因特網(wǎng),就要積極利用外資。因?yàn)槊绹诘诙卫顺奔椿A(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)的成功例子說明了利用外資的重要性,現(xiàn)在第三次浪潮的電子基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)中,利用外資同樣十分重要。

Passage 3
Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question.The organization is deep into a long selfanalysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say,this project has turned out to be mostly lowlevel findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes,combined with lots of headscratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper.Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard templates (patterns) into which they plug each days events.In other words,there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a readymade narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers,which helps explain why the “standard templates” of the newsroom seem alien to many readers.In a recent survey,questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middlesized cities around the country,plus one large metropolitan area.Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions. Replies show that compared with other Americans,journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods,have maids,own Mercedeses,and trade stocks,and theyre less likely to go to church,do volunteer work,or put down roots in a community. Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite,so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite.The astonishing distrust of the news media isnt rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry,particularly a declining one.Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers.Then it sponsors lots of symposiums and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers.But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about.If it did,it would open up its diversity program,now focused narrowly on race and gender,and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook,values,education,and class.

【正確答案】
A
[注釋]這是一道推斷題。該題問盡管新聞界付出了努力,仍然不能滿足讀者的需要的原因是什么?我們參照文章比較后一段可推測出:新聞界的問題癥結(jié)在于沒能對癥下藥。因此,答案[A]“沒有認(rèn)識(shí)到真正的問題所在”為正確答案,屬概括性的答案,而[B]答案“往往雇傭令人厭煩的記者”、[C]答案“可能做有誤的報(bào)導(dǎo)”和[D]答案“在種族和性別的問題方面有偏見”則屬細(xì)節(jié)性問題,故選[A]答案。
譯文 解讀 為什么有這么多的美國人不相信報(bào)刊上讀到的東西呢?美國報(bào)刊編輯協(xié)會(huì)正在試圖解決這一令人痛苦的問題。該組織正在進(jìn)行長時(shí)間的自我分析:一項(xiàng)叫做新聞可信度調(diào)查項(xiàng)目。 這是一篇議論文。
第一段引出問題,為什么美國人不相信報(bào)紙。 很遺憾該項(xiàng)目在事實(shí)誤差、拼寫及語法錯(cuò)誤,以及這些讀者究竟需要什么等令人困惑的問題方面的調(diào)查結(jié)果大部分相當(dāng)膚淺。 第二段指出調(diào)查出的結(jié)果非常膚淺,并提出讀者想要讀些什么的疑問。 然而讀者不相信報(bào)刊有更深層的原因。首先,大多數(shù)記者通過一套標(biāo)準(zhǔn)模式來看世界,并用其來衡量每天發(fā)生之事。換句話說,在新聞階層有一種傳統(tǒng)的寫作規(guī)則,這種規(guī)則為在其他方面可能造成誤解的新聞提供現(xiàn)成的敘事結(jié)構(gòu)。 第三段指出造成公眾對新聞媒體不信任有著更深層次的原因。 其次,記者和讀者之間存在社會(huì)和文化差距。這種差距有助于解釋許多讀者不能理解新聞界標(biāo)準(zhǔn)模式的原因。在比較近的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查中,對國內(nèi)五個(gè)中等城市及一個(gè)大城市的記者們進(jìn)行了問卷調(diào)查。然后,對這些地區(qū)的居民隨意電話采訪,對他們提出相同的問題。
結(jié)果表明,與其他美國人相比,記者更有可能居住在質(zhì)優(yōu)價(jià)高的地段,有仆人、高級(jí)進(jìn)口汽車及股票,而不大可能去做禮拜、當(dāng)志愿者或在普通社區(qū)定居。
記者可以說是文化及社會(huì)方面的精英,因此他們的工作往往僅反映上層的價(jià)值觀。令人驚訝的是,讀者不相信新聞媒體不是由于報(bào)導(dǎo)有誤或報(bào)導(dǎo)技術(shù)不好,而是由于記者與讀者之間存在世界觀方面的沖突。 第四、五、六段指出問題的根源在于記者和讀者之間世界觀的日常沖突。 這種現(xiàn)象對任何行業(yè)都是難堪的局面,特別是對于日趨下降的行業(yè)。新聞界是令人棘手的行業(yè),一直在雇傭態(tài)度令讀者厭煩的職員�,F(xiàn)在新聞界在組織各種座談會(huì)及可信度調(diào)查以了解讀者厭煩及躲避報(bào)刊的原因。但是新聞界似乎從未注意到以前的讀者所不滿意的文化與階層偏見。如新聞界注意到這一點(diǎn),現(xiàn)在就應(yīng)該開辦多樣性欄目,尋找一些世界觀、價(jià)值觀、教育程度及社會(huì)層次完全不同的記者。 第七段指出盡管新聞界付出了努力,仍然不能滿足讀者的需要,是因?yàn)樗麄儧]有真正認(rèn)識(shí)到問題所在,并提出建議
 [A]failure to realize its real problem
 [B]tendency to hire annoying reporters
 [C]likeliness to do inaccurate reporting
 [D]prejudice in matters of race and gender


Passage 4
The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed.The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might.Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying:“Wont the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anticompetitive force?”
Theres no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful.Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982.Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly.International affiliates account for a fastgrowing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment.In Argentina,for instance,after the reforms of the early 1990s,multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms.This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms,of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.
I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs,lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers demands.All these are beneficial,not detrimental,to consumers.As productivity grows,the worlds wealth increases. Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty.Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could recreate the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the U.S.,when the Standard Oil trust was broken up.The mergers of telecom companies,such as WorldCom,hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress.On the contrary,the price of communications is coming down fast.In cars,too,concentration is increasing—witness Daimler and Chrysler,Renault and Nissan—but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.
Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched.A few weeks ago,Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry.Who is going to supervise,regulate and operate as lender of last resort with the gigantic banks that are being created? Wont multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements to fair competition? And should one country take upon itself the role of “defending competition”on issues that affect many other nations,as in the U.S.vs.Microsoft case?

(本題分值:2分)


【正確答案】
B
[注釋]這是一道作者態(tài)度題。態(tài)度題。從整篇文章的邏輯構(gòu)思來看,作者一開頭就提出主題——企業(yè)合并浪潮。然后指出引起這種合并的三個(gè)因素,并認(rèn)為合并對可見,作者是從正反兩個(gè)方面來分析合并浪潮的,故選擇項(xiàng)[A]“客觀的”符合上述分析。譯文 解讀 整個(gè)世界正經(jīng)歷著前所未有的比較大合并潮。這一合并潮從極度活躍的美國到達(dá)歐洲,然后,以前所未有的力量到達(dá)那些日漸興起的國家。這些國家的許多人都在關(guān)注著這一合并現(xiàn)象。他們?yōu)榇藫?dān)心:這種企業(yè)的合并會(huì)不會(huì)演變成一種無法控制的反競爭力量呢? 這是一篇議論文。
第一段指出世界正在經(jīng)歷一場兼并與收購浪潮,人們擔(dān)心它會(huì)演變成一種無法控制的反競爭力量。 毫無疑問,合并之后規(guī)模大的企業(yè)會(huì)更大,力量也會(huì)更強(qiáng)。1982年,跨國公司在國際貿(mào)易中僅占20%弱。今天已超過25%,并且正以很快的速度增加。在對外開放的國度中,對外國投資是來者不拒;國際分公司的生產(chǎn)所占的比重也越來越大。例如阿根廷,20世紀(jì)90年代改革以后,在200家比較大型的公司中,跨國公司的工業(yè)總產(chǎn)值幾乎從43%上升至70%。這種現(xiàn)象引起了人們對小型經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)體、民族商人的作用以及世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的比較終穩(wěn)定性的極大關(guān)注。 第二段用數(shù)據(jù)證明了跨國公司的發(fā)展。 據(jù)我認(rèn)為,引起這場合并潮的比較重要的力量與導(dǎo)致全球化的力量是相同的,那就是運(yùn)輸與通信費(fèi)用的下降;貿(mào)易與投資障礙的減少以及市場的擴(kuò)大。這一切都需要擴(kuò)大業(yè)務(wù)的往來來滿足消費(fèi)者的需求。這對消費(fèi)者只能有利而不會(huì)不利。隨著生產(chǎn)力的提高,世界財(cái)富也在增加。 第三段解釋了造成企業(yè)合并現(xiàn)象的原因。 目前,這種合并潮帶來的好處或害處所造成的損失還不是很多見。然而,目前幾家石油公司的合并是否會(huì)再次給競爭帶來威脅卻難以預(yù)料,因?yàn)椋绹粋(gè)世紀(jì)前曾經(jīng)由于合并引發(fā)了一場競爭危機(jī),造成了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)石油托拉斯解體。像世界電信這類電訊公司的合并好像不會(huì)造成費(fèi)用的上升,也不會(huì)使技術(shù)進(jìn)步速度減慢。恰恰相反地,通信費(fèi)用在快速下降。汽車行業(yè),如戴姆勒汽車公司、克萊斯勒、雷諾和尼桑汽車公司,也在合并,但消費(fèi)者似乎并沒有受到此合并的傷害。
然而,我們必須密切注視這種合并潮。幾周前,阿蘭·格林斯潘就告誡人們提防銀行業(yè)的大合并。誰將作為比較后形式的貸方監(jiān)督、管理和運(yùn)作這家正在形成的龐大銀行呢?當(dāng)一個(gè)國家對侵害公平競爭現(xiàn)象控制過于嚴(yán)格時(shí),跨國公司會(huì)不會(huì)把生產(chǎn)從一個(gè)地方轉(zhuǎn)移到另一方地方呢?一個(gè)國家能不能像美國對付微軟公司那樣,在影響他國利益的問題上承擔(dān)起保護(hù)競爭的職責(zé)呢? 第四、五段具體分析了合并熱潮的影響,認(rèn)為它沒能給消費(fèi)和技術(shù)進(jìn)步帶來危害,還有可能使世界財(cái)富增長。同時(shí)作者也提醒人們要關(guān)注合并現(xiàn)象,避免其帶來不利影響。

Passage 5
When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend.A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although,in the manner of a disgraced government minister,I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.
Curiously,some twoandahalf years and two novels later,my experiment in what the Americans term “downshifting” has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality.I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “having it all”,preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the pages of She magazine,into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything.
I have discovered,as perhaps Kelsey will after her muchpublicized resignation from the editorship of She after a buildup of stress,that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”,and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed:12hour working days,pressured deadlines,the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “quality time”.
In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler,less materialistic lifestyle is a wellestablished trend.Downshifting—also known in America as “voluntary simplicity”—has,ironically,even bred a new area of what might be termed anticonsumerism.There are a number of bestselling downshifting selfhelp books for people who want to simplify their lives;there are newsletters,such as The Tightwad Gazette,that give hundreds of thousands of Americans useful tips on anything from recycling their clingfilm to making their own soap;there are even support groups for those who want to achieve the mid90s equivalent of dropping out.
While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline—after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late 80s—and is still linked to the politics of thrift,in Britain,at least among the middleclass downshifters of my acquaintance,we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.
For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the 80s,downshifting in the mid90s is not so much a search for the mythical good lifegrowing your own organic vegetables,and risking turning into one—as a personal recognition of your limitations.

 [A]Full-time employment is a new international trend.
 [B]The writer was compelled by circumstances to leave her job.

(本題分值:2分)


【正確答案】
D
[注釋]這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。該題問“根據(jù)文章,‘低速度’生活方式的原因是什么”,我們通讀全文后可知道,[A]答案“現(xiàn)代生活快節(jié)奏”,[B]答案“人的冒險(xiǎn)精神”和[C]答案“人類尋求神話般的經(jīng)歷”都未在文中明確提出。而[D]答案“經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢”我們可以在倒數(shù)第二段可以找到“經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退”的起因。故本題答案為[D]
。譯文 解讀 當(dāng)我決定辭去專職工作的時(shí)候,我從來沒想到我會(huì)成為國際新潮流的一分子。一次平級(jí)的調(diào)動(dòng)卻傷害了我的自尊心,而且阻礙了我業(yè)務(wù)上的進(jìn)步,這就促使我放棄我那些相當(dāng)注重個(gè)人形象的職業(yè)。然而,我卻以一位大勢已去的政府部長的姿態(tài),宣稱“我想多陪陪家人”。以此掩蓋我辭職的真正原因。
令人詫異的是,在大約兩年半的時(shí)間里,我寫出了兩部小說,之后,我的這種被美國人稱為“低速擋”的嘗試已經(jīng)將我那陳詞濫調(diào)的借口轉(zhuǎn)化成了絕對的事實(shí)。我已經(jīng)從過去七年里琳達(dá)·凱爾西的《女性》雜志再三宣揚(yáng)的“擁有一切”哲學(xué)的積極倡導(dǎo)者,轉(zhuǎn)化成一個(gè)對一切淺嘗輒止就心滿意足的婦女。
我發(fā)現(xiàn),放棄那種“忙碌地應(yīng)付生活”的信念而選擇“低速擋”將帶來比金錢和社會(huì)地位更大的回報(bào)。凱爾西長期經(jīng)受巨大壓力后,從編輯《女性》雜志的位置退下來之后,恐怕她也將與我有同樣的發(fā)現(xiàn)。沒有任何事情能夠規(guī)勸我重返那種凱爾西曾經(jīng)倡導(dǎo)而我本人也曾鐘愛的生活:12小時(shí)的工作日,重負(fù)不堪的死期限,工作中爾虞我詐令人提心吊膽的緊張不安,在“比較佳時(shí)期”為人父母的限制。 這是一篇議論文。第一、二、三段講述了作者辭去全職工作后的感受。從這次生活經(jīng)歷中形成了新的生活哲學(xué),開始愿意過那種"放慢生活節(jié)奏"的生活而無太大壓力的生活。 在美國,從過忙碌生活轉(zhuǎn)向過一種更簡樸、更遠(yuǎn)離物質(zhì)的生活方式已是一個(gè)不爭的趨勢。頗具諷刺意義的是,換低速擋,在美國被稱為“甘愿簡樸”的生活方式居然產(chǎn)生出一個(gè)可稱為“反消費(fèi)主義”的新領(lǐng)域。對那些想要過簡樸生活的人,有許多暢銷的關(guān)于“低速擋”生活方式的自助書;還有像《守財(cái)奴報(bào)》之類的通訊,給數(shù)十萬美國人提供包羅萬象而且實(shí)用的指導(dǎo),從膠卷的再利用到自己制造肥皂;甚至還有支援小組,幫助那些想在20世紀(jì)90年代中期逃避社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的人實(shí)現(xiàn)理想。 第四段指出簡樸生活方式已是美國的一種大的潮流趨勢。 在美國,這一趨勢是對經(jīng)濟(jì)衰落的反應(yīng),它在20世紀(jì)80年代晚期企業(yè)縮小規(guī)模導(dǎo)致大規(guī)模裁員之后才與節(jié)儉的觀點(diǎn)密切相連;而在英國,至少在我認(rèn)識(shí)的這些過換低速擋生活的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)當(dāng)中,尋求簡樸的生活卻有著不同的原因。
在整個(gè)20世紀(jì)80年代,我們這一代女性忙碌地應(yīng)付著生活,在90年代中期過“低速擋”的生活,對我們來說實(shí)際上是爭取個(gè)人極限的自我認(rèn)可,而不是去追求那種自己種有蔬菜并試圖與之合一的神話般的美好生活。 第五、六段指出這一趨勢是對經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退的一種反映,并討論了造成這一趨勢的原因。PART ⅣENGLISHCHINESE TRANSLATION

In less than 30 years time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality.Direct links between the brains nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments,allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall. (71) There will be television chat shows hosted by robots,and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend. (72) Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips,computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools,relaxation will be in front of smelltelevision,and digital age will have arrived.
According to BTs futurologist,Ian Pearson,these are among the developments scheduled for the firsr few decades of the new millennium (a period of 1,000 years),when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.(73) Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine,including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040. Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computerhuman links.“By linking directly to our nervous system,computers could pick up what we feel and,hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments,rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,”he says.(74) But that,Pearson points out,is only the start of manmachine integration:“It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.”
Through his research,Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted.However,there are still no forecasts for when fasterthanlight travel will be available,or when human cloning will be perfected,or when time travel will be possible.But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances.A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will,for example,cause problems in 2010,while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids.(75) And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorderkitchen rage.
