第6题

For incoming freshmen at western Connecticut’s suburban Brookfield High School, lifting a

backpack weighed down with textbooks is about to give way to tapping out notes and touching electronic pages on an iPad. A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Boston will also start the year with new school-issued ipads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in place of traditional texts. Apple officials say they know of more than districts that have launched what are called “one-to-one” programs.

At Burlington High in suburban Boston, Principal Patrick Larkin says the $ 500 ipads is better than textbooks in the long term, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren’t yet available. Larkin said of textbooks, “but they’re pretty much outdated the minute they’re printed and certainly by the time they’re delivered”.

But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure (设施), repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech - heavy approach. Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics (信息学) professor said, “I think people will like it. I really don’t know anybody in high school that wouldn’t want to get an iPad,” he said. “We’re always using technology at home, then when you’re at school it’s textbooks. So it’s a good way to put all of that together.” Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students’ use.

And the nation’s textbook publishing industry, accounting for $ 5. 5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum specifically for ipads. Jay Dickey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers, schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay. “I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally.”

The first paragraph is mainly about________________ .

A.a program to promote ipads marketing in new school year

B.a program to spread electronic learning in new school year

C.a plan of how to use ipads in the coming school education

D.a plan of how to oppose IT technique in the coming school teaching

What’s the problem for ipads to be used in schools at presentA.Some students wouldn’t like to have ipads in schools.

B.The ipads are too expensive for school students to buy.

C.Most experts oppose the idea that ipads replace paper textbooks.

D.The ipads may be unavailable for some traditional courses.

The underlined sentence in the passage implies that .A.traditional textbooks are behind the times before they are printed

B.traditional textbooks possibly need to he printed again before delivered

C.contents of traditional textbooks can’t be renewed in time as electronic ones do

D.the ipads can deliver information much more rapidly than printed textbooks

From the passage we can draw conclusion that .A.more students tend to use printed textbooks rather than electronic ones

B.textbook publishing houses will develop more electronic textbooks of their own

C.it is impossible for the ipads to be widely used in schools in the future

D.electronic textbooks will take the place of printed ones in new school year

第7题

Do other animals besides humans cry？ The answer to the question is ‘Yes, and no’. All

animals with mobile eyes have the ability to cry, just as we humans do. They have a tearing system that keeps their eyes wet so as to protect them from dry sand, dusts, and other elements. People often tell tales of animals such as elephants and dogs weeping when punished. However, even if such an animal does shed tears, there is no scientific evidence that the animal is expressing the tear-related emotions similar to those when humans cry. But what about when a baby chimp or ape whimpers and screams when it’s being separated from its mother, can we say with some certainty that the animal is crying？ Taking away the babies does encourage care-giving such as feeding and protecting from the mother apes, but it is uncertain whether the baby apes feel the same way as baby humans do when they cry. In fact, it’s not clear that crying and other emotional displays mean exactly the same thing to all humans. For instance, there is a wide range of emotions that prompt people to cry, and some kinds of weeping, such as crying at a stranger’s wedding, seem to be cultural responses. In addition, some people are autistic. That means they prefer being alone than being with other people, especially in large crowds. These people are said to have less ability in expressing their emotions, but research also has shown that it’s more that their expressions and their reactions to the emotional expressions of others are unusual. Different. But does that mean that their sadness is different somehow？ So even if apes can be said with some certainty to be feeling emotions, then there is the problem of figuring out to what extent what they feel resembles what humans feel.

10.What does the author mean by “Yes, and no” in line 1, paragraph 1？

A. Other animals besides humans cry

B. No other animals besides humans cry

C. Animals cry but do not cry like humans

D. Animals cry but humans do not cry

11.Which of the following statement is true？

A. All animals have mobile eyes

B. All animals have a tearing system

C. Tearing system keeps animals’ eyes wet

D. Animals cry when being punished

12.Baby chimps or apes cry because__________.

A. they are being separated from their mothers

B. the reason is not clear

C. they feel the same way as baby humans do

D. they need to be fed and protected

13.Why human beings cry？

A. There a wide range of reasons.

B. People cry because they attend a stranger’s wedding.

C. Crying means exactly the same thing to all humans.

D. Because of cultural responses.

14.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. it is uncertain to say to what extent apes feel the same emotions as humans

B. it is sure that apes can feel emotions

C. some people prefer being alone because they’re not good at communication

D. people’s emotions are different

2 The risk committee at Southern Continents Company （SCC) met to discuss a report by its r

2 The risk committee at Southern Continents Company (SCC) met to discuss a report by its risk manager, Stephanie

Field. The report focused on a number of risks that applied to a chemicals factory recently acquired by SCC in another

country, Southland. She explained that the new risks related to the security of the factory in Southland in respect of

burglary, to the supply of one of the key raw materials that experienced fluctuations in world supply and also an

environmental risk. The environmental risk, Stephanie explained, was to do with the possibility of poisonous

emissions from the Southland factory.

The SCC chief executive, Choo Wang, who chaired the risk committee, said that the Southland factory was important

to him for two reasons. First, he said it was strategically important to the company. Second, it was important because

his own bonuses depended upon it. He said that because he had personally negotiated the purchase of the Southland

factory, the remunerations committee had included a performance bonus on his salary based on the success of the

Southland investment. He told Stephanie that a performance-related bonus was payable when and if the factory

achieved a certain level of output that Choo considered to be ambitious. ‘I don’t get any bonus at all until we reach

a high level of output from the factory,’ he said. ‘So I don’t care what the risks are, we will have to manage them.’

Stephanie explained that one of her main concerns arose because the employees at the factory in Southland were not

aware of the importance of risk management to SCC. She said that the former owner of the factory paid less attention

to risk issues and so the staff were not as aware of risk as Stephanie would like them to be. ‘I would like to get risk

awareness embedded in the culture at the Southland factory,’ she said.

Choo Wang said that he knew from Stephanie’s report what the risks were, but that he wanted somebody to explain

to him what strategies SCC could use to manage the risks.

Required:

(a) Describe four strategies that can be used to manage risk and identify, with reasons, an appropriate strategy

for each of the three risks mentioned in the case. (12 marks)

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted After a recent financial crisis in the coun

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted

After a recent financial crisis in the country of Oland, there had been a number of high profile company failures and a general loss of confidence in business. As a result, an updated corporate governance code was proposed, with changes to address these concerns.

Before the new code was published, there was a debate in Oland society about whether corporate governance provisions should be made rules-based, or remain principles-based as had been the case in the past. One elected legislator, Martin Mung, whose constituency contained a number of the companies that had failed with resulting rises in unemployment, argued strongly that many of the corporate governance failures would not have happened if directors were legally accountable for compliance with corporate governance provisions. He said that ‘you can’t trust the markets to punish bad practice’, saying that this was what had caused the problems in the first place. He said that Oland should become a rules-based jurisdiction because the current ‘comply or explain’ was ineffective as a means of controlling corporate governance.

Mr Mung was angered by the company failures in his constituency and believed that a lack of sound corporate governance contributed to the failure of important companies and the jobs they supported. He said that he wanted the new code to make it more difficult for companies to fail.

The new code was then issued, under a principles-based approach. One added provision in the new Oland code was to recommend a reduction in the re-election period of all directors from three years to one year. The code also required that when seeking re-election, there should be ‘sufficient biographical details on each director to enable shareholders to take an informed decision’. The code explained that these measures were ‘in the interests of greater accountability’.

Required:

(a) Examine how sound corporate governance can make it more difficult for companies to fail, clearly explaining what ‘corporate governance’ means in your answer. (10 marks)

(b) Martin Mung believes that Oland should become a rules-based jurisdiction because the current ‘comply or explain’ approach is ineffective as a means of controlling corporate governance.

Required:

Explain the difference between rules-based and principles-based approaches to corporate governance regulation, and argue against Martin Mung’s belief that ‘comply or explain’ is ineffective. (8 marks)

(c) Explain what ‘accountability’ means, and discuss how the proposed new provisions for shorter re-election periods and biographical details might result in ‘greater accountability’ as the code suggests. (7 marks)

It may look like just another playgroup，but a unique educational center in Manhattan is re

ally giving babies something to talk about. "It's a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs—some of the classes also have arts and crafts," said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Langrage Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.

Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (视觉) aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. "Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time," said Thibaut. "Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet." Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child's play.

"I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently," said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. "I figured at this age, two, it's a perfect time for him to learn."

Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included "monkey" and "lion"). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. "I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won't understand them," said parent Foster Gibbons.

Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours. Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included, so kids can practice on their own.

The word "bilingual" in the first paragraph probably means ______.

A．capable of using two languages

B．both clever and confident

C．aware of their own limitations and strengths

D．independent of their parents

Famous American Foods What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across

Famous American Foods

What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time？ It's chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.

From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美)its virtues.

Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧)in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.

But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chicken's real or imagined curative (治愈的)powers comes from its color.

Her new book, "The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup", looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, "There has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak woman and the ill".

In addition, "soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon" are considered "comfort foods" Sheraton said. "I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder," Sheraton said from her New York home.

Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.

The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat.

Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？ ______

A．Prominent American Foods

B．History of the Chicken Soup

C．Chicken Soup Recipes

D．Chicken Soup, a Universal Cure-All
