Rolly often called me with a stream of ideas．His rate ofidea production per second seemed al- most incredible．Soon we wereon the phone with each other every day．Talking about theInternet．TalMng about starting a new onlinecompany-maybe together．

He was then developing a plan and he wanted me to be a part of it：we wouldgive people wonderful，whole electronic houses on a CD-ROM and let them modify those homesto their own needs．Try out different windows and doors，different paintcolors and furnishings．When they were satisfied，we would enable themto go online to make the project happen，to get the products

and the financing and the。professionaldesign and construction to help to do it outright．

BuildingBlocks was the name Rolly came up with for his new enterprise．Rolly tookthe plunge first．He simply dropped his profitable energy—consultingbusiness to commit himself full time to BuildingBlocks．I soonjoined him after I quit my well—paid job at a newspaper．

Together we developed a demo to show the features of our CD—ROM，“The Ne wAmerican Dream Home”．Then we took it to the annual convention of the National Associationof Home Builders in Boston．All the big companies were there showing off their。latestproducts．

To our delight，nearly everyone was eager to see what we were showing，．includingthe top executives of some enormous companies．When we left，we hadinvitations from them to come to their offices to tell them more aboutBuildingBlocks.

Anxiety disorders are common andrange from lo percent t0 20 percent of children and teens．Girl areusually more likely than boys to report anxiety symptoms or signs．Anxiety runsin families，due to a combination of inherent and environmental factors．Anxiousparents may produce anxiouschildren．When signs are so severe that they interfere with daily lifeactivities，it is time to seek an evaluation from a mental health professional．

Maria，reassured that hermother was alive，neveRheless could not be separated from her．During thefollowing weeks she insisted on sleeping with her mother and would not let herout of her

sight．Her motherwas equally shocked，and told her daughter she was suffering great pain．

The doctor began a series of playtreatment sessions using dolls and paly surgical instruments in which Mariaperformed operations in her doll hospital．She began to getgreat pleasure in her sessions．Her mother did not recover so quickly，so the doctorrecommended individual treatment for her．

The final sessions involved Mafiaperforming the operation on，not a doll，but her mother，who submitted to patient status once again．Playing outthe painful theme was extremely beneficial，and with a minimumof interpretation，both were back to their normal functioning by the month’s end．Maria didnot need any medication．

Text 3

Lately，presidentsof some American universities have added inflation to their worry list．They are notconcemed about inflation of prices，but of academicgrades．Larry Summers，president of Harvard．recentlycaused a storm when he told one of the university’s professors he didn’t likegrade inflation．Insiders say that nearly half thegrades Harvard awards have lately been A or A minus—a lot moreman in the l980s．Is this trend a bad thing，in fact2 And is thisgrade inflation really“inflation”?

To take the second question first，the answeris N0，not stricdy speaking．”Inflation”in grades ought to mean that work of a given standardwould be awarded an ever higher grade，year by year.Thehighest permissible grade would therefore have to keep rising in a ceaselessprocesslon of non-improvement．Because in reality the top grade is fixed，the processis not so much grade inflation as grade compression．This isworse：a

distortion in relative prices is more confusing than a uniformupward drift.Grade compression squeezes information out of the system．

But is grade inflation necessarily a bad thing?Theanswer depends on who you are．When students leave Harvard,they carry grades as a sort of currency：a pocketfulof intellectual capital，to bid for jobs or places in graduate schools against graduates fromother universities with other currencies．These positions goto those who can put the most academic cash on the table。Employersandgraduate schools must decide on the exchange rate,as it were，between aHarvard C student

and an A student from a less distinguishedplace．

Again．overall gradeinflation-the uniform devaluation of the students’ capital-would be telativelyeasy to cope with，working in principle neither to the advantage or disadvantage ofHarvard

graduates．Recruiters．in aposition to see the market for graduates as a whole，would simplyadjust their exchange rate．Compression，however，hasdistributional consequences．The best Harvard students see their grades devalued relativeto those of second．rate Harvard students．That is bad with respect to encouraging students to workharder．

56．The text talksabout the recent storm concerning grade inflation in American universities by focusingon_________．

[A]itscauses

[B]its features

[C]itsimpacts

[D]its purposes

57．In thewriter’s opinion，real grade inflation can occur when the highest permissible grade_______

[A]israised accordingly

[B]is cautiously granted

[C]isstrictly administered

[D]is limited appropriately

58．The writerthinks that grade compression characterizes________．

[A]ajust policy in evaluation

[B]a distorted grading system

[C]afixed criterion for the work done

[D]a relative difference among students

59．As far asjob—seeking is concerned，Harvard grade inflation will benefit________．

[A]itsbest graduates

[B]its ordinary graduates

[C]thejob recruiters

[D]the school authorities

60．With gradeinflation going on in Harvard，it is likely that________．

[A]itsbest students will lack the urge to make progress

[B]itsranking in the US universities will going down

[C]itsadvantages will be overtaken by its disadvantages

[D]itssystem of school score distribution will be in chaos

Tom Hagen：

I am acommercial fisherman in Alaska．It was an eye—opener to see the destruction and waste in theworld’s fisheries．The Alaska salmon fishery is very well managed，and we don’tsee the destruction occurring elsewhere．Many local peoplecomplain of the many restrictive laws in the fish- cry，but afterreading this article，I’m in favor of even stric ter regulation．The sea isthe basis for life on Earth，and we must take care of it．

Jimmy O’Brien：

You didn’ttouch the fishing here in the U．S．where the fisherman is working under the harshest regulations onEarth and the strictest equipment restrictions．We are fishing in afashion that is completelyenvironmentally friendly as required under the Magnuson-Stevens Act．The U．S．keeps importingmore fish from countries that have no requirements on equipment or on theircatch．U．S．fishermen cannot compete with fore ign prices so the fishermen’snumbers have been reduced．

Tiffany Miller：

I wasshocked at the utter lack of regard that the commercial fishing industry hasfor its very ownresources.I’d like to ask these same fishermen who say that they cannot make alivi ng on the catchlimits set for them：How are you going to make a living when all the fish are gone?

Nathan Kennedy：

Youfailed to note the obvious root cause of the global fish crisis，which is notnew technologies but the explosion of world population．There simplyare not enough fish in the ocean to feed US，and all thefishefies management and conservation in the world will do nothing to stopoverfishing if nothing is done to stem the unsupportable demand for humanconsumption．

Peter Paul：

As aperson with some 35 years of membership in various conservation groups，and afterwriting thousands of emails，letters，and protest forms，I arrived at the sad Conclusion that nothing I did mattered one bit．When thecatch drops below the cost of operating expenses，the industry willdie，taking the health of the ocean with it．We will thenall,stand back and wonder why we let it happen

参考译文

蓝色牛仔裤可能是美国人最具代表性的一件衣服。蓝色牛仔裤最初是由来自美国内华达州的一位裁缝——雅各布·戴维斯发明的，他和纺织商李维·施特劳斯合作，于l873年将这一发明申请为专利，并为矿工提供了一种经久耐穿的衣服。蓝色牛仔裤，也被称作工作服，在19世纪末及20世纪初流行于美国各行各业的工人阶层，尤其受牛仔、农夫、伐木工及铁路工人的喜爱。20世纪50年代，演员马龙·白兰度和詹姆斯·迪恩在电影中都穿着蓝色牛仔裤，这使得蓝色牛仔裤一下子变得时髦起来。后来，牛仔裤还成了叛逆年轻人形象的一部分。20世纪六七十年代，李维斯成为关注民权运动和反战运动的青年文化的重要组成部分，其时尚宣言也迅速流行起来。到20世纪70年代末，美国几乎所有人都穿蓝色牛仔裤，同时全世界的年轻人都在追逐这一潮流。随着服装设计师设计的款式更加多样，更加合身，蓝色牛仔裤很好地表现了美国人对随意的强调以及对细节的重视。蓝色牛仔裤，尽管起源于工人阶层，但通过突显品牌和实现美观，讽刺性地代表了美国当代的时尚意识和追求最新潮流的急切愿望。1971年，李维斯公司荣获美国时尚界最高奖项——柯蒂时装评论奖。

参考译文

回想起20世纪90年代初，我对电脑一无所知。在用电脑工作了一天之后，我才对其有所了解。但我知道：巨大的变化即将发生，即激动人心的经济、想象力及各种前所未有的事情。我知道世界正在变化，也就是说，我不能靠着过去的经验过活。我也知道我有很多未实现的梦想。但我是在遇到我的老朋友罗林·劳斯之后，才意识到如何实现我的那些梦想，那时我俩刚巧搬到了同一个社区。

罗林总是说我满脑子主意。但他每秒钟所产生的想法的数量似乎也非常不可思议。很快，我们每天打电话聊天，谈论互联网的一些事情，商讨一起开一家新网络公司的可能性。

紧接着，他开始制定计划，并想让我也参与其中：我们将在只读光盘驱动上为人们提供丰富的、全套的电子房间，并让人们根据自己的需求装饰自己的房子。他们可以尝试多种门窗、不同的漆色和家具。当他们感到满意时，我们就让他们去网上实现自己的规划。购买产品及专业的设计和建筑，我们将帮助他们实现规划。

“BuildingBlocks”是罗林为新公司起的名字。罗林决定自己先冒险试试。他直接将其利润丰厚的能

源咨询业抛下，全身心投入到“BuildingBlocks”公司中。我辞去了报社待遇丰厚的工作后，很快加入了他。我们一起开发出一款小样，展示了我们只读光盘驱动的特点——全新美国梦想家园。我们将其带到波士顿全美住宅商协会的年度会议上。所有大公司都在那里展示、炫耀自己的最新产品。

令我们高兴的是，包括一些大公司的高管在内，几乎每个人都想看看我们所展示的产品。离开会场时，我们已经收到很多邀请，他们都希望我们能去他们的办公室并为其介绍更多有关“BuildingBlocks”公司的产品。那只是我人生梦想迈出的第一步，我们的公司“BuildingBlocks”，从此以后也逐渐兴旺发达。

46．D 【精析】推理题。根据第一段第一句“Backin the early 1990s I knew little about computers

beyondwhat it took to get through a working—day．”和第三句“It wasstirring economies and imaginations and possibilities like nothing I had everknown．”可知，前后文讲的主要是技术带来的影响，由此可以推知巨大的变化指的是高科技的发展，故选D。

47．A 【精析】细节题。根据第二段“Hisrate of idea production per second seemed almost incredible．”可知，“他每秒钟所产生的想法似乎也非常不可思议”，由此可以推知罗林很有创造力，故选A。

48．D 【精析】推理题。根据第三段第二、三句“Try…When theywere satisfied，we would enable them togo online to make the project happen，to get the productsand the financing and the professional design and construction to help to do itoutright．”可知，“他们可以尝试…。当他们感到满意时，我们就让他们去网上实现自己的规划，购买产品及专业的设计和建筑，我们将帮助他们实现规划。”即这一系列动作的结果就是“帮助人们拥有一个理想的房子”，故选D。

49．D 【精析】推理题。根据第四段第三、四句“Hesimply dropped his profitable energy—consulting businessto commit himself full time to BuildingBlocks．I soon joined himafter I quit my well-paid job at a newspaper．”可知，“他直接将其利润丰厚的能源咨询业抛下，全身心投入到‘BuildingBlocks’公司中。我辞去了报社待遇丰厚的工作后，很快加入了他。”由此可见，两个人都拥有一份收入较高的工作，为了共同的兴趣，他们纷纷辞职，故选D。

50．A 【精析】细节题。根据最后一段第一句“To ourdelight，nearly everyone was eager to see what wewere showing…”可见大家对他们的产品很感兴趣，故选A。

焦虑障碍很普遍，在儿童和青少年中，患该疾病的比例从l0％到20％不等。一般情况下，女孩比男孩更容易出现焦虑症状或征兆。焦虑是由内在因素和环境因素共同造成的，因此有家族遗传现象。如果父母患有焦虑，生出来的孩子很可能也患有焦虑。一旦焦虑症状非常明显，妨碍了日常活动，就需要找一个心理健康专家进行治疗了。

来看看下面这个患有压力心理障碍孩子的例子。12岁的玛丽亚正在她医生的办公室等着她每年的常规检查。隔壁大厦枪击案中的子弹穿过了墙，打在她妈妈的肩膀上，妈妈受伤很严重，立即被送到医院。然而，接下来的几天玛丽亚都不知道妈妈的命运。

I leave the vault, and as the guard closes the door, a marine archaeologist asks if I want to see anything else. As an example he shows me an astrolabe, a navigation tool that preceded the sextant. Few have survived. "We have three of the oldest known," he says. He directs me to a paper on astrolabes written by a Cuban colleague, who quoted a 16th-century instruction: "He who wants to take the sun with an astrolabe at sea, must be seated near the main mast, the place where the boat oscillates the least and is quiet." I want to take the measure of Cubas past, so I tell the archaeologist I would like to go to the place where the plain things are. I am here not only to see treasures that glitter but also to see and touch objects that illumine moments of the past. Smiling, he takes me into storage rooms where he and other archaeologists preserve cargoes from four centuries of wrecks. Jumbled on these shelves is the stuff of Cubas long reign as counting house and command center for Spains New World colonies. I see knickknacks destined for one of the annual 18th-century trade fairs, where Cubans bought imports from Spain. I also see, pallid from centuries in the sea, dozens of little painted ceramic dogs, lions, cats, and deer later shipped from England. Stacked nearby are sets of dinner dishes, tankards, an hourglass, a bottle of very Old Spanish wine. On another day, in fading light, I walk the ramparts of El Morro, its lighthouse standing tall over Havanas harbor. The old fortress, by day a warren of tourist stops, changes by night, looming deeper into the shadows of Havanas past. As torches light the darkness, I watch Cuban soldiers, costumed as 18th-century Spanish sentries, march along the ramparts of the Castillo de San Carlos and fire a cannon that salutes

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "

There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 . If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”37 “teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork. A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities. A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
