Organized volunteering and work experience has long been a vital companion to university degree courses. Usually it is left to __62__ to deduce the potential from a list of extracurricular adventures on a graduate's resume, __63__ now the University of Bristol has launched an award to formalize the achievements of students who __64__ time to activities outside their courses. Bristol Plus aims to boost students in an increasingly __65__ job market by helping them acquire work and life skills alongside __66__ qualifications.

"Our students are a pretty active bunch, but we found that they didn't __67__ appreciate the value of what they did __68__ the lecture hall," says Jeff Goodman, director of careers and employability at the university. "Employers are much more __69__ than they used to be. They used to look for __70__ and saw it as part of their job to extract the value of an applicant's skills. Now they want students to be able to explain why those skills are __71__ to the job." Students who sign __72__ for the award will be expected to complete 50 hours of work experience or __73__ work, attend four workshops on employ-ability skills, take part in an intensive skills-related activity __74__, crucially, write a summary of the skills they have gained. __75__ efforts will gain an Outstanding Achievement Award. Those who __76__ best on the sports field can take the Sporting plus Award which fosters employer-friendly sports accomplishments.

The experience does not have to be __77__ organized. "We're not just interested in easily identifiable skills," says Goodman. “__78__, one student took the lead in deali ng with a difficult landlord and so __79__ negotiation skills. We try to make the experience relevant to individual lives."

Goodman hopes the __80__ will enable active students to fill in any gaps in their experience and encourage their less-active __81__ to take up activities outside their academic area of work.

Pearson also __6__ a breakthrough in computer human links."By linking __7__ toour nervous system, computers could pick up __8__ we feel and, hopefully, simulate__9__ too so that we can start to __10__ full sensory environments, rather like theholidays in Total Recall or the St ar Trek holodeck," he says. But that, Pearson points __11__, is only the start of man-machine __12__:"It will bethe beginning of the long process of integration that will __13__ lead to a fu llyelectronic human before the end of the next century."__14__ his research, Pearson isable to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, thereare still no __15_ _ for when faster-than-light travel will be __16__, or when humancloning will be perfected, o r when time travel will be possible.But he does __17__ social problems as a result of technolo gical advances. A boomin neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example,__18__ probl ems in 2010,while the arrival of synthetic __19__ robots will mean people may not be able to __20__ between their human friends and the droids.

With some things it is impossible to 6 all the diverse publics: forexample, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditor s andstockholders, 7 it will undoubtedly find 8 from employees who see their jobs 9 .Onthe ot her hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almostcomplete approval, 10 low quality products and 11 claims would be widely lookeddown upon.A firm's public ima ge, if it is good, should be treasured and protected. It is avaluable 12 that usually is built up ov er a long and satisfying relationship of a firmwith publics. If a firm has learned a quality imag e, this is not easily 13 or imitated bycompetitors. Such an image may enable a firm to 14 high er prices, to win the bestdistributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the m ost 15 creditorrelationships and lowest borrowing costs.

1.C)。【解析】连接词辨义。在词组by the communities 1 it operates中，名词communicates后有主语it和谓语动词operates，因此判断该从句为定语从句。而先行词在定语从句中作状语，即it operates in the communities，于是选择C）where。

2. D)。【解析】考查固定搭配。to...extent或者to the extent of...表示"达到...的程度"，因此答案为D)。 in, within, on 均不能与extent搭配。

3. A)。【解析】名词辨义。由第一段我们得知，公司的公共形象，也就是来自社会各方面的对公司的关注，也即公司的大众吸引力。所以，空格处应选择A）attraction。attachment"附件,附加装置,配属"；affection"友爱,爱情,喜爱"；generalization "一般化,普遍化,概括,广义性"。

4. C)。【解析】考查语义和固定搭配。因为stockholders, suppliers, creditors,government officials等都属于outsiders，是outsiders的下义词。而词组such...as...就是这种用法。因此答案为C)。

5. B)。【解析】形近词辨义。as well as 连接意义相近的词，前面stockholders,suppliers, creditors, government officials等都是各不相同的群体，那么后面specialgroups也应是多种多样的。diverse表示"不同的，多种多样的"，因此选择B)。converse"相反的,颠倒的"；reverse"相反的,倒转的,颠倒的"；universe"宇宙,世界,万物,领域"。

6. A)。【解析】动词辨义。根据后面的例子我们得知，高度自动化的工厂可能迎合了公司债权人和股东的想法，但是却会遭到公司员工的反对，因为他们可能面临失业的危险。因此，公司不可能满足所有公众的愿望。所以选择A）satisfy。treat"视为,对待,论述,治疗,款待"；amuse"使发笑,使愉快"；entertain"娱乐,招待,接受"。

7. D)。【解析】考查句际关系。由上题可知，两句之间是转折关系。因此D)正确。so"因而,所以,那么,这样看来"；then"当时,那么,因而,然后,于是"；thus"因而,从而,这样,如此"。

8. D)。【解析】名词辨义。本句中，两个分句是转折关系，而且作为利益对立双方creditors and stockholders 和employees，他们对待工厂自动化的态度也是对立的。前者有单词approval(赞成)表明态度，后者的态度就应是resistance(抵抗，反对)。support"支撑,支持,支援,维持,赡养"；identification"辨认,鉴定,证明,视为同一"；compliment"称赞,恭维,致意,问候,道贺"。

9. C)。【解析】动词辨义。由上下文得知，工厂高度自动化遭到了工人们的抵制，而他们抵制的原因就在于他们的工作岗位受到威胁，他们将面临下岗。因此see their jobsthreatened或者see themselves unemployed。故选择C)。ensure"保证,担保,使安全,保证得到"；promote"促进,发扬,晋升为"；unemployed"失业的,未被利用的"。

10. B)。【解析】考查连词。本句话中空格前的从句的主语是high-quality products，空格后的从句的主语是low quality products，很明显，两句之间是对比关系，while表示"和...同时"，表示对比关系，因此B)正确。because表示因果关系，意为"由于，因为"；though 表示转折关系，意为"虽然，尽管"。

11. A)。【解析】近义词辨析。根据句义，11 claims意为"不良的、不切实际的、或者虚伪的主张和要求"。false"错误的,虚伪的,假的,无信义的,伪造的"，因此，false符合题意。fake"假的,伪造的,冒充的"； artificial"人造的，假的，矫揉造作的，不自然的"；counterfeit"伪造的,假冒的"。

12. B)。【解析】名词辨义。根据句义我们判断，具有良好的公众形象是一个企业珍贵的财富。这里"财富"一词并不指代拥有的金钱或财产，而是指代一种长处和优势。asset"财产"(anything owned)，"可取之处"(a desirable thing)，"优势"(advantage)，因此B)正确。fortune"财富,好运,命运"； possession"拥有,占有,着迷,领土,财产(常用复数)"；property"

财产,所有物,所有权,性质,特性"。

13. A)。【解析】动词辨义。这句话的意思是：如果一个企业有良好的形象，那么对手就很难与之抗衡或者效仿。本句中空格一词应能与imitate并列，如果选择"打败"或者"抵制"，那么竞争者效仿这一获得良好形象的企业就无从谈起。counter"反对,反击，抗衡"，因此A)正确。defeat"击败,战胜,使失败,挫折"；repel"击退,抵制,使厌恶,使不愉快"；compel"强迫,迫使"。

14. D)。【解析】考查语义与词组搭配。在上下文中，由于企业具备了良好的形象，因此它就可以把价格定得更高，可以与最好的发行商和经销商合作等等。charge price(索价，要价)符合题意。pay, order, get均不与price搭配。

15. C)。【解析】形容词辨义。在诸多由良好的形象带给企业的好处中，企业有望能与债权人建立的关系应是对双方有利的，起促进作用的。favorable"赞成的,有利的,讨人喜欢的,起促进作用的"，因此C)正确。favorite"喜爱的,宠爱的,中意的"；prosperous"繁荣的"； prospective"预期的"。

16. B)。【解析】固定搭配。price-earnings ratio"(股票市场上的)市盈率，价益比"。rate"比率,速度,等级,价格,费用"；ration"定量,配给量,定量配给"；interest"兴趣,关心,利息,利益"。

17. B)。【解析】考查代词。在上下文中，我们判断空格是代替a number offactors的，因此They正确。

18. D)。【解析】近义词辨析。根据语境，有很多因素影响了一个企业的公共形象，这些因素包括物理设备等等。因为这些设备会影响企业的公共形象，所以这些设备应该是公众能够接触到的设备、服务等硬件和软件的设施，facilities指为某一特殊活动或目的所提供的种种便利，包括设备、建筑物和服务等等，因此D)正确。appliance"用具,器具"，一般指电器设备，通常需要动力才能操作的家用电器和装置等；equipment"装备,设备,器材,装置",一般指机械设备；device"装置,设计,图案,策略",既可以是抽象的，也可以是具体的。

19. B)。【解析】固定搭配。contact无论作动词还是名词，都与with搭配表示"与..联系"。

20. A)。【解析】搭配与语义。首先判断空格一词能与to搭配，再通过句义判断词组prices 20to competitors的意义为"能与同行竞争者相抗衡的价格"，relative to"相对于"，因此答案为A)。

relative"有关系的,相对的,比较而言的"；related"叙述的,讲述的,有关系的"，relatedto"与...有关的"；reliable"可靠的,可信赖的"；reconcilable"可和解的,可调和的"。

When women do become managers, do they bring adifferent style and different skills to the job? Are theybetter, or worse, managers than men?

1.【解析】［C］语义衔接题。空格所在部分填入一个名词，表示"大众媒体作为许多机构和社会交往的……而影响年轻人的生活"。substitute作名词时意为"代替物，代替者"，常和介词for搭配，本句意为"大众媒体可以代替机构和社会交往"。alternative作名词时意为"可供选择的办法或事物"。preference和介词for搭配，指"对……的偏爱，爱好"，将它放入文中显然不符逻辑。representative一般指人，即被选举或委派代表某人或某团体的人，如representative of the UN/the youth of her generation(联合国代表/一代年轻人的典型代表)。因此［C］项正确。

2.【解析】［B］语义衔接题。从四个选项来看，能够和后面的宾语functions搭配且符合上下文语义的动词只有fulfill，意为"起……作用"，放入文中指"大众媒体在人们生活中起到了各种各样的作用"。accomplish意为"完成，实现，达到"，后面一般接"计划、任务、目的",如accomplish the plan/mission/object等，不和functions搭配。provide与function搭配，指"提供功能"，但根据上文可知，大众媒体对影响年轻人的生活，是"发挥功能作用"，而非"提供功能"。suffice指"足够，足以"，为不及物动词。

3.【解析】［D］惯用衔接题。试题所在句子的后半部分指出there is less time forgames(用于游戏的时间减少了)，这句话是对本题所在句子The time spent in front ofthe television screen is usually at the of leisure的补充和说明。对比四个选项，expense为正确答案。空格处的名词构成的短语是at the …of…。四个选项都符合要求，分别是：at the risk of(冒……的危险)；at the mercy of(受……支配)；at theheight(在……的最盛时，在……的高潮中)；at the expense of(以……为代价)。空格所在句子表示的含义为"在电视屏幕前耗费的时间常常是以休闲为代价的"。

4.【解析】［B］语义衔接题。空格部分是过去分词结构作状语，表示"被屏幕上呈现的东西所……孩子们模仿他们所看到的"。因此空格处填入的分词要和后面的介词by搭配，而且要符合上下文意。attract常和介词by搭配，意为"被……吸引，对……感兴趣"。在文中意为"由于被电视屏幕上的东西吸引"，符合本题所在句子的句意和语法要求。absorb 常与介词in搭配，表示"注意力集中于，被……吸引"；arouse意为"使行动起来，激发"；addict动词，意为"使入迷，使成瘾"，和介词to搭配。因此［B］项正确。

5.【解析】［A］语义衔接题。空格处填入的动词构成的搭配是…oneself with…，表示"孩子们直接将自己和(电视中的)不同人物……"。identify sb. with sth.表示"把某人视为"，文中表示的含义是：孩子们直接将自己视为电视中的各种不同的人物。recognize的搭配是recognize sb. as sth.(认可，接受某人为……)。unify是及物动词，意为"统一，使一元化"。equate的搭配只能是equate sth. with sth.(使等同)。因此，选项［A］是正确答案。

6.【解析】［C］语义衔接题。空格处填入的名词说明"暴力"的特点。abundance是褒义词，指"大量，丰富，充裕"，它不和violence搭配。incidence指"发生率，影响范围或程度"，是中性词，常常由形容词修饰后表示褒贬，如an area with a high incidence ofcrime(犯罪率高的地区)。prevalence指"普遍，盛行"，放入文中指"媒体里暴力的普及"。recurrence 表示"重现，复发"。由上下文可知，美国人应担忧媒体中暴力的"普及"，而非"发生率"或"重现"。

7.【解析】［D］语义衔接题。disposed只作表语，意为"倾向于，有意于"。hidden意为

"隐藏的；神秘的"，强调不外露，不明显，如hidden illness(隐疾)，hiddentreasure(秘藏的财宝)。implicit指"(语言上)含蓄的，不直接言明的"。potential意为"潜在的，可能的"，指将来可能形成的。由上下文中的concern about和for at least fortyyears可知，人们担忧的是一种潜在的危害。因此，potential为正确答案。

8.【解析】［B］语义衔接题。试题所在句子的前后文形成了例证关系。

再从语义上来看，media的修饰词是new，因此要填入的单词应当表达"出现"的含义，对比四个选项，emerge(出现)是正确答案。merge意为"结合，融合"；immerge意为"浸入"；submerge意为"淹没，完全掩盖"。

9.【解析】［D］逻辑衔接题。空格上文指的是these media "这些(新的)媒体"，空格后是television "(旧的媒体)电视"，前后是并列关系，由于文中对两者是同等的强调，并没有突出新旧媒体的不同，因此应选along with，表示"这些媒体连同电视一起"。apartfrom 表示"除……之外"。much as意为"尽管"，一般引导让步句子。but for意为"要不是"，多用虚拟语气。along with表示"连同……一起, 随同……一起"。

10.【解析】［C］语义衔接题。空格处填入的动词的主语是these media，宾语是public concern and research attention。四个选项中，prompt指cause sth. tohappen(促使，导致，激起)。放入文中表示"这些媒体引起了公众的担忧和研究的注意"，符合文意。promote指help sth. to happen or develop(促进，推动)。显然不能说"媒体促进了公众的关注"。propel本义指push sth. forward or in a particulardirection(推进)，用于抽象含义时只能是propel sb. into sth.，表示"驱使某人进入一种状态"，如Fury propelled her into action(怒火驱使她行动起来)。prosper意为"(使)繁荣，昌盛"。

11.【解析】［B］语义衔接题。空格所在部分中的核心名词是societal concern，其后是较长的后置定语on our young generation by the media。空格处填入的过去分词表被动，其主语是the media，宾语是societal concern。因此，关键要辨析选项中的动词的用法，它应该可以用于the media …another large societal concern on our younggeneration这个句子中。符合要求的只有［B］，impose sth. on/upon sb./sth.表示"迫使，把……强加于"。将impose代入文中，指"媒体使年轻一代受到的另一方面的社会关注是身体形象"。inspire 直接接sth.的搭配是inspire sth. in sb."鼓舞，激励，激起(错觉或情感)"。deliver的搭配是deliver sth. to sb./sth.(递送，交付)。contribute作及物动词时的搭配是contribute sth. to sth.(增加，增进)。

12.【解析】［A］语义衔接题。external意为"外界的，外来的"，指与其他物体分离或没有关系的外部，不涉及内容，如a combination of internal and external factors(内外因结合)。exterior意为"外部的，外表的，外面的"，强调位于事物的外表以上，但仍是该事物的一部分，如exterior walls/surfaces(外墙，外层表面)。explicit意为"清楚明白的，直截了当的"。exposed常用来修饰"地方或人"，意为"无遮蔽的，无保护的"。因此能和forces搭配的是external，指"外部力量"。

13.【解析】［C］语义衔接题。试题的前后文形成了例证关系，上文提到，外部力量影响身体形象；空格下文则具体解释说明，社会文化标准和大众媒介的营销对我们美的观念有影响。因此下文是对上文的具体举例说明。选项中的介词和one都可以构成固定搭配。as one表示"一致，一齐"。at one(with sb./sth.)表示"完全一致，是……的一部分"。for one 表示"作为其中一个，举例来说"。in one表示"集于一身(或一体)；多功能，多用途"。因此表达这种逻辑关系的是for one。

14.【解析】［C］语义衔接题。mark作及物动词时表示"表明，是……的迹象/征兆"。effect 作动词指make sth. happen"使发生，实现，引起"，如effect acure/change/recovery(产生疗效/引起变化/实现复苏)。impact可作及物动词，表示"对……有影响，有作用；冲击"。

shock作动词时接人作宾语，表示"使(某人)震惊/气愤/厌恶"。由下文可知，文章主要论述了媒体中"以瘦为美"的宣传影响着青少年的审美价值观。因此，本题应选择impact，表示"社会文化标准和大众媒体的营销冲击着我们关于美的观念"。

15.【解析】［C］语义衔接题。standardized指having the same features orqualities，made standard(标准的，定型的)，它用在文中指"标准的美女"。generalized指not detailed, not limited to one particular area(笼统的，普遍的，概括性的)。regularized指made legal or official(合法化的，正式存在的)。categorized指put into groups(分类的，归类的)。

16.【解析】［D］语义衔接题。空格处填入的动词的主语是the images，状语是fromour televisions。四个选项都可以充当动词。beam表示"发射电波，播送"。放入文中表示"标准美女的形象从电视中播放出来"，是正确答案。boom表示"迅速发展，繁荣昌盛"。bottom表示"达到底部，降到最低点"。brim指"(使)满，盛满"。

17.【解析】［D］结构衔接题。the movies相当于cinema(电影院)。用在地点、地名前，at可以表示抽象概念，如at the movies意为"在看电影"；over表示"在……之上，通过"，和movies不搭配。on表示"通过，使用，借助于"。with表示方法、手段，entertain sb. with sth.是常用搭配，表示"用……娱乐"。文中entertain表示的动作的主语是the images，表示的含义是"标准的美女形象娱乐着我们"，因此不能选with，而应选at，即"在看电影时(其中的)标准的美女形象娱乐着我们"。

18.【解析】［A］语义衔接题。空格处填入的动词应和介词on搭配，符合上下文意。play on/upon sth.表示"利用(感情等)"，如Advertisements often play on people'sfears(广告常利用人们的恐惧心理)。文中表示的含义是"在广告中，大众媒介利用公认的瘦和健康的文化价值来赢得商业利润"。take on sth.表示"呈现，具有(特征、外观等)；承担，同意负责"。profit和介词by/from搭配，表示"获益，得到好处"。resort和介词to搭配，表示"求助于，依靠，诉诸"，如resort to force(诉诸武力)。

19.【解析】［C］语义衔接题。空格处的副词和分词defined一起修饰名词短语standard of attractiveness(吸引力的标准)。barely意为in a way that is just possiblebut only with difficulty(仅仅，勉强能；几乎不，几乎没有)，和defined搭配表示"几乎无法界定的"。carefully意为"仔细地，谨慎地"，和defined搭配意为"仔细地定义/确定"。narrowly可指in a way that is limited(狭隘地，严格地)。subjectively 意为"主观地"。由上文可知，"吸引力的标准"指的是"以瘦为美"，强调其标准的狭隘，因此应选narrowly。

20.【解析】［A］语义衔接题。空格处填入的名词是a narrowly defined standard ofattractive 的同位语；空格后that引导的定语从句对该词进行了解释说明，即"包含着对外形的不切实际的期望"。ideal作名词时可指an idea or standard that seems perfect,and worth trying to achieve or obtain(理想，看似完美的思想和标准)，符合文意需要，即狭隘的"美"的标准是不切实际的，是一种难以达到的完美标准。image指"形象，印象"；stereotype指"模式化观念或形象"；criterion指"(评判或作决定的)标准，准则，原则"。

1.[B]

解析：词义辨析题。各个选项的意思和辨析如下：

Absorbed全神贯注的，一心一意的。

intense强烈的, 剧烈的, 热切的, 热情的, 激烈的

We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re 2 with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity(肥胖). Perhaps the 3 to this ambivalence(矛盾情结) lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop(经济作物) wasn’t eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more 4 ways of doing it. The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what “real Americans” eat, but our nation’s food has come to be 5 by imports—pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country’s most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation’s defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit ins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political 6 . But strong opinions have not brought 7 . Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become 8 of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain. The 9 in food is still prosperous in the American consciousness. It’s no coincidence, then, that the first Thanksgiving holds the American imagination in such bondage(束缚). It’s w hat we eat—and how we 10 it with friends, family, and strangers—that help define America as a community today.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may be the victims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain keypunch (键盘打孔) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off (向……透露) the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (耍弄) the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants,

（一） For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.

We have probably all had ... 下面是我给大家整理的，希望对大家有帮助。 Laziness is a sin(罪), everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons rather than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or of having their idea stolen. These people who seem lazy may be ruined by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies (幻想) may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating rescheduling their day.

The attempt to predict is often played in a (38) of knowledge and understanding.
