12、nswer the questions after each text by choosing a、b、c or d. mark your answers on the answer sheet. (20points)text1 pop stars today enjoy a style of living which was once the prerogative only of royalty. wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. the crowds go wild trying to

13、catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. the stars are transported in their chauffeur driven rolls-royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. they are surrounded by a permanent entourage of managers, press agents and bodyguards. photographs of them appear regularly

14、 in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like royalty, pop stars are news. if they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. it is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. they must be constantly sh

15、ielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them. they are no longer private individuals, but public property. the financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are astronomical. and why not? society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly.

16、 the great days of hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation on an unprecedented scale. by todays standards, the excesses of hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular. a single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the pa

17、st ever did. the competition for the title top of the pops is fierce, but the rewards are truly colossal. it is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. dont the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their countries? pop stars ea

18、rn vast sums in foreign currency often more than large industrial concerns and the taxman can only be grateful fro their massive annual contributions to the exchequer. so who would begrudge them their rewards? its all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the successes and rewards of ot

19、hers. people who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. for every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. a man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to exp

20、ect very high rewards. he has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. but a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. he knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. he knows that years of concentra

21、ted effort may be rewarded with complete failure. but he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the recompense for the huge risks involved and if he achieves them, he has certainly earned them. thats the essence of private enterprise.21. the sentence “pop stars style

22、 of living was once the prerogative only of royalty” means . a their life was as luxurious as that of royalty.b they enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty.c they are rather rich.d their way of living was the same as that of the royalty.22. what is the authors attitude toward top stars high in

25、re hard times for deutsche bank, despite its huge strides in investment banking. next week its chief executive, josef ackermann, goes on trial in dusseldorf. careless words by rolf breuer, the head of its supervisory board, led to another court ruling last month that may cost germany's biggest b

26、ank several hundred million euros in damages. then there is parmalat. although no evidence has emerged of complicity in the italian dairy group's fraud, deutsche's name has become entwined in the affair.in many other respects, however, deutsche's reputation has never been higher. in dubb

27、ing it “bank of the year 2003”, international financing review, the capital markets' favourite newssheet, purred that deutsche was a “lean, aggressive, focused universal bank”. in the league tables that investment banks watch so keenly, deutsche excelled last year as lead manager of bonds and co

28、nvertible bonds and of some racier products, such as repackaged debt securities and high-yield “junk” bonds. in other disciplines it rarely fell below the top ten in the world.however, it is still nowhere near the top in equity offerings and advice on mergers and acquisitions, except in germany. it

29、still has a problem with costs, which were a fat 82% of income in the third quarter of 2003, thanks mainly to the thick pay packets of its investment bankers and its poor returns from corporate and retail banking.mr ackermann must try to improve the weak spots while spending two days a week, probabl

30、y until june, in a courtroom. he and four others face charges of “breach of trust” over the way bonuses were awarded to board members of mannesmann, a telecoms company. mr ackermann sat on mannesmann's supervisory board. there is no suggestion that he gained personally. nor was there any harmful

31、 intent in mr breuer's remarks in a television interview about the financial health of the kirch media group shortly before its bankruptcy. but he was careless, and a munich court found deutsche (but not mr breuer) liable for damages, to be set in due course, without right of appeal. the bank sa

32、id this week it has lodged a protest with the federal supreme court in karlsruhe. meanwhile, kirch has filed a suit against deutsche in america.deutsche's involvement with parmalat also looks sloppy. it led a 350m ($393m) bond issue for the group in september. it was also a leading borrower and

33、lender of parmalat shares, so that in november it technically held the voting rights to over 5% of parmalat stock. that stake had fallen to 1.5% by december 19th, the day the dairy company's black hole became public. it reported this, perhaps over-zealously, to the italian authorities. that may

34、have given the wrong impression, say sources close to the bank, because the transactions were for third parties.this is awkward for a bank that managed to avoid most serious attacks on conflicts of interest that beset the investment-banking industry following the collapse of enron in 2001 and the bu

35、rsting of the tech-stock bubble. mr ackermann will need a clear head to steer the bank through the coming storms.26.it can be inferred from the text that .athe chief executive of deutsche will be found guilty by courtbit is yet to be found whether deutsche is involved in the fraudcdeutsches reputati

41、he answer sheet.(10points)in most people's mind, growth is associated with prosperity. 31 equally axiomatic, however, is the notion that increased pressure on dwindling natural resources must inevitably lead to a decline in prosperity, especially when accompanied by a growth in population. so, w

42、hich is correct?what growth advocates mean, primarily, when they say growth is necessary for prosperity is that growth is necessary for the smooth functioning of the economic system. in one arena the argument in favor of growth is particularly compelling and that is with regard to the third world. 3

43、2 but is it? could it be that growth, especially the growth of the wealthier countries, has contributed to the impoverishment, not the advancement, of third world countries? if not, how do we account for the desperate straits these countries find themselves in today after a century of dedication to

44、growth? 33 what good is growth to the people of the third world if it means the conversion of peasant farms into mechanized agribusinesses producing commodities not for local consumption but for export, if it means the stripping of their land of its mineral and other natural treasures to the benefit

45、 of foreign investors and a handful of their local collaborators, if it means the assumption of a crushing foreign indebtedness, the proceeds of which goes not into the development of the country but into the purchase of expensive cars and the buying of luxurious residence in miami? admittedly, this

46、 is an oversimplification. but the point, i believe, remains valid: that growth in underdeveloped countries cannot simply be judged in the abstract; it must be judged based on the true nature of growth in these societies, on who benefits and who is harmed, on where growth is leading these people and

47、 where it has left them. 34 so, do we need growth for prosperity? only the adoption of zero growth can provide the answer. but that is a test not easily undertaken. modern economies are incredibly complex phenomena, a tribute to man's ability to organize and a challenge to his ability to underst

48、and. 35 but if the prospect of leaping into the economic unknown is fear-inspiring, equally so is the prospect of letting that fear prevent us from acting when the failure to act could mean untold misery for future generations and perhaps environmental catastrophes which threaten our very existence.

49、 awhen considered in this way, it just might be that in the present context growth is more detrimental to the well-being of the wretched of the earth than beneficial. bto see how this might be the case we must look at the impact of growth on third world countries - the reality, not the abstract stag

50、es-of-economic-growth theory advocated through rose-colored glasses by academicians of the developed world.csome third world countries consider growth as the path to prosperity, but others do not think so.dwe judge how well the economy is doing by the size of the gross national product (gnp), a meas

51、ure, supposedly, of growth.eto argue against growth, other than population growth, in light of third world poverty and degradation seems callous.fanything that affects their functioning, such as a policy of zero growth, should not be proposed without a wary prudence and a self-doubting humility.gsome people think that the prosperity of the economy sho
