Each word can only beused once. Note that there is one word more than you need.One consequence of globalization is the increasing crash of old and new concepts. New ideas are always welcome and can often improve our lives but we must ensure they fit well into our _41_ culture.One current debate that highlights this crash between old and new ideas is the issue of organ donations _42_ untreatable car crashes.Currently in China it is assumed that _43_ of untreatable car crashes would be unwilling to donate their organs to others. This has helped lead to a situation where over 1.5 million people need a transfer but only about 10,000 receive a new organ each year. In order to increase the number of organ donors, a new policy will require drivers to state whether they are willing to become organ donors or not.The _44_ of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful. In America, the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois where drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60%. Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.However in China organ donation is a(n) _45_ concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas. Some have argued that the policy puts an evil eye on driving. Others have criticized the project because it predicts death. The strongest criticism has come from those who highlighted that it conflicts with traditional Chinese _46_ which state how important it is for the body to be _47_unbroken.No one can deny the greater need for organ donation across the world and especially in China. However, a project that is forced on people, no matter how positive the aims are, will do more damage than good. Policy makers must go carefully and _48_ in this area and ensure a system that is see-through and 49 by all. III.

Vanier Park, 1100 Chestnut StC. 9020 Bridgeport Road D. 3031 No. 3 Road( C )The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In todays prosperous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs. A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task. But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want.In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased. The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods. Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought(主动提供的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France (wine, for example) should be a specialty goods in the United States.People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae(圣代) on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices, quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision. Buying an automobile is often done this way.Shopping goods fall into two classes; those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles. Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(优先) over price, or they will not matter at all.72. It can be learned from the first paragraph that _.A. a writer needs a word processorB. needs and wants cant be separated clearlyC. the way to distinguish the products is unimportantD. a computer is a need rather than a want73. The example of wine is used to illustrate that _.A. goods are classified differently in different countriesB. the types of the product lie on the people rather than its natureC. Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes doD. one product may belong to many types74. Staples are items that _.A. are convenient to purchaseB. are purchased without enough thinkingC. people “want but dont need”D. people are in constant need of75. Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that _.A. consumers dont care where to buy themB. consumers spend much time searching forC. satisfy similar needs of the consumerD. can be found in nearly every shopSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Our space is beautiful. Looking out of the window of a space shuttle, you can see the stars more clearly than you can from Earth. Its thrilling view. However, whats out there can be dangerous too. And the dangerous things are often too small to see.77.Above Earth, where space shuttles orbit, there are thousands of chunks of space garbage. They are flying as spaceships, at about 17,000 miles per hour. Sometimes they hit spaceships. On one flight of the shuttle Columbia, the ship was hit 106 times. Most of those hits were not caused by rocks. They were caused by pieces of space garbage.78.What kinds of objects are floating in space today? Some are satellites that are no longer working. Others are pieces of rockets that exploded. The first explosion of a rocket in space took place in 1961. Since then, many others have occurred. An exploding rocket can send out hundreds of bits of metal.79.Space garbage also results from everyday events. Lets say an astronaut walks outside a shuttle, taking pictures. What if he drops the camera lens cap? It becomes a piece of orbiting junk. A flying bolt may not sound like much. If its flying ten times as fast as a bullet, though, it can be pretty scary. Some space trash burns up by falling toward Earth. If its high up in space, though, it wont fall to Earth. It will stay in orbit.80.What can be done about space trash? This may be one of the most important questions now facing NASA. One answer is to keep track of it. Radar can track a piece of space junk as small as a softball. Before launching a flight, NASA makes sure no other ships or satellites will be in the way. They could also make sure no large pieces of space junk were in the flights path. But what about smaller things? What about a piece of metal as small as a pebble? One solution is to invent armor for spaceships. Another is to leave less garbage up there.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements inthe fewest possible words.Aware that the financial crisis could spread to other sections, the Fed has moved remarkably aggressively, cutting rates by 1.25 percentage points in eight daysa rate-cutting spree(无节制行为) almost unheard of in central banking history. The Fed now has cut rates five times by accumulative(累积的) 2.25 percentage pointsand there is no sign that the Fed is done. Thanks to the strategies of Hank Paulson, George Bush soon will sign a bill that will pump some $150 billion into the American economy for U.S. consumers to spend. That kind of coordination(协调) between fiscal and monetary authorities is as exceptional as it is both swift and impressive.Sure, the Cassandras are disobeying the Feds actions. Bernanke has been criticized for everything from catering to Wall Street traders to still being behind the curve. But opinions are like a noseeverybody has one. The current noise of criticism against Bernanke is a lot like baseball fans, screaming “throw the burn out” at the game or letting out their depressions on post-game AM radio talk shows. But its a lot easier to criticize than to step up to home plate and swing the bat.The reality is that few of Bernankes most bitter critics were even smart enough to make it into an introductory economics class taught by Bernanke at Princetonlet alone to run the worlds most influential Central Bank. And to assume that Fed policy is based on responses to such criticism would be as ridiculous as for baseball star Alex Rodriguez to walk over and hand his bat to an unpleasant critic in the seats of Yankee Stadium to take his place at home plate. Thankfully, airline pilots guiding a plane through rough instability play to a less noisy crowd.Heres the reality. Neither Bernankes interest rate cuts nor the federal stimulus package likely will hit the policy nail right on the head. But no real-time decision making is perfect. As John Maynard sKeynes, himself an academic with plenty of real world
