Ted Sweeney was an exception to thi

25、s rule. His family moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles when he was one month old. Thats where he grew up. At the age of seventeen he was hit by a train. Although he was not seriously hurt, the railroad paid him $25,000. Instead of going to college he bought a small store. Six months later the go

26、vernment bought his land to build a new highway. He sold it for $95,000.With this money he moved to Detroit. He started a small company that made parts for the car manufacturers. It was very successful and by the time he was 23 he was a millionaire. When he was 24 he got married. He and his wife had

27、 three daughters in the next five years. By the time he was 30 he had over ten million dollars.Then tragedy struck. He was involved in a traffic accident. He did not die but his wife and daughters did. Six months later he sold everything he owned and put his money in stocks. Ted then moved to New Yo

28、rk. He lived for the next forty years in a one-room apartment.He spent most of his days wandering through the city looking in garbage cans for food. He never worked. He rarely talked to anyone except himself. Most people were afraid of him. His clothes were always old and dirty.Shortly before he die

29、d he moved back to Los Angeles. After spending two weeks there he was put in jail because he had no money and no job. City workers tried to help him. They offered him work but he would not work. Towards the end he would not talk to anyone at all.When he died, he was a lonely man. But someone remembe

30、red his name. They knew he had lived in Detroit and had been successful. It was learned that he had put his stocks in a box at a Detroit bank.

34、 take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we produce specialists in many fields. Because we liv

35、e in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.In education, there should be a

36、balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts, but also relative empha

37、sis among the natural sciences themselves.Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away f

Even though I havent finished half the course yet, the practical experience I had before I star

42、ted and what Ive learned from you folks so far makes me feel I can make a go of it.I guess that gives you some idea why Ive gotten a little behind in my payments.

49、 passage with 5 underlined sections, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.Nearly every day, giant tankers carry 8 million barrels of oil from Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯) to refiner

50、ies (炼油厂) around the world. But after the recent bombing in Riyadh, energy analysts (分析家) are nervously reassessing(重新评估) the stability of supplies of crude from the oil kingdom.Since oil prices are relatively high entering winter, Americans will notice any further problems in Saudi Arabia as they f

51、ill up their gas tank or pay for home heating oil. 76) The price for West Texas crude closed above $32 a barrel last week, the highest point since the beginning of October and up from about $25 a barrel last year at this time.The higher price of crude is already reflected in steeper costs than last

52、season: home heating oil is up some 19 cents a gallon, and gasoline is 9 cents a gallon higher. “The only thing keeping prices above $25 a barrel is fear of terrorist (恐怖分子) activity,” says Dennis Gartman, publisher of the Gartman Letter, an influential political and economic newsletter. “77) All th

53、ings being equal and if there are no terrorist attacks, these are very high prices.”The US depends heavily on Saudi Arabia for oil. In terms of that arrangement, 78) one key concern, says Mr. Gartman, is the long distance that Saudi Arabia moves its oil to terminals (终点). “The pipelines are long and

54、 exposed as they move across the desert,” he says. “I dont care how vigilant (警觉) you are, there are places that you are not defending.”So far, however, there have been no attacks on the pipelines, producing areas, or terminals. The most recent attack was on a housing complex. But energy analysts ar

55、e taking seriously such a target - more political than economic - particularly since 79) Saudi Arabia is the second-largest supplier of oil to the United States and represents one-third of all oil produced by OPEC (石油输出国组织).“(80) The problems should remind us how dependent we are on Saudi oil produc

56、tion,” says Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International in New York. “We have an interest in a stable Saudi Arabia.”9.80.Part VI Translation from Chinese into English81. 玛丽考虑结婚后辞掉工作，在家照顾丈夫和孩子。82. 一个小孩是否能健康成长取决于他生活的环境。83. 他宁可住在宁静的乡村，而不愿迁往喧闹的城市。84. 他渴望早日康复，回到校园继续他的教学和科研工作。85. 当地经济的四大特点可以归纳如下。答案Part I Listening ComprehensionSection Ayour answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. keys: 1.
