Every October the world watches while the Swedish Nobel 22 honor the best writer, economist, scientists, and so on. No prize is more 23, prestigious or profitable. As well as the million-dollar purse, there is a 24 promise of enticing work and, in the sciences, research money in the hundreds of millions of dollars. 25, women are invited to this party. Sweden, after all, has 26 its own prize from the United Nations as the most 27 country on the planet women make up 55 percent of ministers and 28 of parliamentarians. Yet the number of women who have won the Nobel tells a different story. A closer look at both the recipient list and the 29 process particularly in the sciences suggests that those awarding the prizes have hidden the discussion of gender discrimination behind their 30 for objectivity. If women havent won, the argument goes, it means they simply havent been good enough. 21. 参考答案:luminous答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 0 / 12 正确率 : 0% 22. 参考答案:committees答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 1 / 11 正确率 : 8% 23. 参考答案:unpredictable答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 2 / 10 正确率 : 16% 24. 参考答案:lifetime答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 9 / 3 正确率 : 75% 25. 参考答案:Theoretically答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 0 / 12 正确率 : 0% 26. 参考答案:garnered答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 0 / 12 正确率 : 0% 27. 参考答案:gender-friendly答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 0 / 12 正确率 : 0% 28. 参考答案:43 percent答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 3 / 9 正确率 : 25% 29. 参考答案:selection答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 5 / 7 正确率 : 41% 30. 参考答案:reputation答题人数 :12正确 / 错误 : 3 / 9 正确率 : 25% Spot DictationDirections:In this part of the test, you will listen to a passage and it will not be written out in full for you.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice.Divorce rates vary throughout the world. In the United States 1 out of every 2 recent marriages ends in divorce. If current trends continue by 1990, 1 out of every 2 children is likely to grow up in a single-parent household during part of the first eighteen years of life.A range of cultural conditions are thought to boost divorce rates. First is an increasing emphasis on individuals in society, rather than on family units. For example, when women see themselves primarily as wives and mothers and subordinate their needs to those of their families, divorce is less likely. When women focus on their potential for growth and achievement, tolerance for unhappiness drops and divorce rates rise. Another contributing societal condition is the acceptance of divorce. In the United States, churches tend to be tolerant of divorce, and liberalized divorce laws make legal separations easy to obtain. A hundred years ago, families had more holding power because they were the center of life. People obtained work, education, recreation, protection, and status within families. Today, families serve fewer functions. Finally, greater economic prosperity has raised living standards, giving many people the means to live on their own. And for those without money, society assumes some of the costs.Just as cultural customs influence divorce, so, too, does personality. One investigator of personality correlates of divorce studied a sample of Americans who married after World War II. By early adolescence, research participants who later divorced tended to behave in a more self-indulgent and self-dramatizing way and to show less self-control than those who remained in unsatisfying marriages. These qualities could make individuals hard to live and/or likely to settle on divorce as a solution to marital difficulties. Such traits might also incline people to choose divorce-prone partners. 41. Which of the following statement is NOT true for the rising of divorce rates?A. Women pay much more attention to the role of family. (8)B. People have more opportunities to obtain work, education, etc. in the society. (2)C.

This debris poses little danger to us on the Earth, but since it is traveling at average relative speeds of six miles per second, it can severely damage expensive equipment in a collision. This threat was dramatized by a cavity one-eighth of an inch in diameter created in a window of a United States space shuttle in 1983. The pit was determined to have been caused by a collision with a speck of paint travelling at a speed of about two or four miles per second. The window had to be replaced.As more and more nations put satellites into space, the risk of collision can only increase. Measures are already being taken to control the growth of orbital debris. The United States has always required its astronauts to bag their wastes and return them to Earth. The United States Air Force has agreed to conduct low-altitude rather than high-altitude tests of objects it puts into space so debris from tests will reenter the Earths atmosphere and burn up. Extra shielding will also reduce the risk of damage. For example, 2,000 pounds of additional shielding is being considered for each of six space-station crew modules. Further, the Europe Space Agency, an international consortium, is also looking into preventive measures.46. According to the passage, the debris was harmful because the debris was _.A. large (0)B. moving very fast (10)C. powerful (1)D. radioactive (0) 参考答案:moving very fast答题人数 :11 正确 / 错误 : 10 / 1 正确率 : 90% 47. What effect did orbital debris have on one space shuttle in 1983?A. It led to a collision with a space station. (2)B. It posed little danger to the space shuttle. (2)C. It damaged one of the windows. (6)D. It caused the failure of an experiment. (1) 参考答案:It damaged one of the windows.答题人数 :11 正确 / 错误 : 6 / 5 正确率 : 54% 48. The word them (Para. 2) refers to _.A. equipment (0)B. objects of tests (1)C. wastes (10)D. crew modules (0) 参考答案:wastes答题人数 :11 正确 / 错误 : 10 / 1 正确率 : 90% 49.

The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money of a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently needed to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange. There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.51. Almost all companies involved in developing new products and expansion must _.A. raise large sums of money from friends and people they know (1)B. persuade banks to provide long-term finance (1)C. depend on the government or local authorities (0)D. rely on the savings of the public for finance (11) 参考答案:rely on the savings of the public for finance答题人数 :14 正确 / 错误 : 11 / 3 正确率 : 78% 52. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is _.A. raised by the selling of shares in the companies (1)B. exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange (7)C. repaid to its original owners as soon as possible (0)D. invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange (5) 参考答案:raised by the selling of shares in the companies答题人数 :14 正确 / 错误 : 1 / 13 正确率 : 7% 53. When a saver needs his money back he _.A. gets the money back from the company with whom he originally placed it (0)B. borrows money from an other saver who is seeking to invest (2)C. transfers his money to a more successful company (2)D. puts his shares in the company back on the market (9) 参考答案:puts his shares in the company back on the market答题人数 :14 正确 / 错误 : 9 / 5 正确率 : 64% 54. The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, local authorities and nationalized industries _.A. to make certain the public lends money to them (2)B. to borrow as much money as they wish (0)C. to finance almost every company trying to develop (0)D. to raise money to finance new developments (11) 参考答案:to raise money to finance new developments答题人数 :14 正确 / 错误 : 11 / 3 正确率 : 78% 55. All the essential services on which we depend are _.A. run by the government or our local authorities (2)B. unable to provide for the need of the public (0)C. in constant need of financial support (9)D. financed wholly by rates and taxes (1) 参考答案:in constant need of financial support答题人数 :14 正确 / 错误 : 9 / 5 正确率 : 64% After decades of progress toward equal rights for all, it is surprising to realize that organizations are often within their constitutional rights in discriminating against women and members of racial or religious minorities. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit only discrimination by government bodies. However, one way the government can use to discourage private organizations from discriminating is to deny them tax benefits. Thus in 1971 the Internal Revenue Service withdrew the tax-exempt status of private schools that practiced racial discrimination. In 1983 the Supreme Court maintained the IRSs decision to withdraw the tax-exempt status of Bob Hones University, a private religious college that prohibits inter-racial dating and marriage among its students.Laws also give the courts some opportunities to limit the discriminatory practices of private organizations. Many country clubs and other private social organizations,
