22、项 1:_六、BSection Readi(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、BPart A/B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、BText 1/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Personnel changes at the International Monetary Fund and proposals for changing the fund have been reported lately. After a lengthy public debate, the leading countries settled on another German, Horst Kohler, to

23、 replace Michel Camdessus as the IMFs managing director. Unfortunately, the circus-like process began to resemble an affirmative-action procedure when it became clear that a particular nationality-German-was a prerequisite for the job.Calls for changes at the IMF came in the report from Congress Int

24、ernational Financial Institution Advisory Commission, led by Allan H. Meltzer. (I was a witness before the commission on issues related to inequality.) The Meltzer Commissions report surprised me by not advocating abolition of the IMF. The report said: “The commission did not join the council of des

25、pair calling for the elimination of one or more of these institutions.“The commission came close to recommending abolition, however, by proposing a new IMF that would be limited to short-term-liquidity assistance to solvent economies, collection and publication of data, and provision of economic adv

26、ice. The short-term-loan facility would represent a reasonable return to the IMFs role under the Bretton Woods regime that prevailed until the early 1970s. However, that role expanded greatly in the 1990s, and it is not clear how such further expansion would be avoided under the new setup. So long a

27、s the IMF retains access to lots of money, it will be difficult to say no to large, insolvent countries, such as Mexico in 1995 and Russia in 1998. Past mistakes will probably be repeated, and the elimination of the IMF would have been a better choice.I agree that the IMFs role in the collection and

28、 distribution of data has been useful. An advisory role might also be satisfactory (and some of my friends and former students perform these tasks admirably). This function could be served just as well, however, by nongovernmental institutions. In any event, the demand for the IMFs economic advice i

29、s likely to be low if it is no longer tied to qualifying for some of its loans.The irony is that the IMF had available the ideal candidate in its deputy managing director, Stanley Fischer. Fischer not only is an outstanding economist but also has a pleasant and effective management style, together w

30、ith experience at the fund. He also seemed ideal on political grounds because he was born in Africa, previously held a British passport (related to his residencies in the former British colonies of Northern and Southern Rhodesia), and now holds a U. S. passport. Apparently, Fischers British passport

31、 was not enough to make him European, much less German. Anyway, since my opinion of the IMFs social value is unfavorable, I probably ought not to back the most capable candidate as managing director.（分数：5.00）(1).The word “abolition“ in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to A. elimination. B. di

32、sappear. C. abundance. D. advocacy.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What is TRUE about Allan H. Meltzer? A. He advocates the abolition of the IMF. B. He calls for the elimination of one or more of these institutions. C. He is the IMFs managing director. D. He is the leader of the International Financial Institu

33、tion Advisory Commission.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In the 4th paragraph, what does “this function“ refer to? A. IMFs advisory role. B. Nongovernment institution. C. Qualifying for some of its loans. D. Short-term-liquidity assistance.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What happens to IMF after a lengthy public debate?

34、 A. Horst Kohler works as the managing director. B. It is abolished. C. Michel continues his leading over IMF. D. It is managed by Stanley Fisher.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What is the authors attitude towards Stanley Fisher as an ideal candidate? A. Ironical. B. Favourable. C. Negative. D. Neglectful.（分数

36、ts, who study infectious disease, to predict when and where the next flu epidemic will occur, and how severe it will be.There are three kinds of influenza virus, known as A, B and C. Influenza C virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. The

37、A and B types are unstable, and are responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. Following any virus attack, the human body builds up antibodies which confer immunity to that strain of virus, but a virus with the capacity to change its character is able to by-pass this protection. Vari

38、ability is less developed in the influenza B virus, which affects only human beings. An influenza B virus may cause a widespread epidemic but will have little effect if introduced into the same community soon afterwards, since nearly everyone will have built up antibodies and will be immune. The inf

39、luenza A virus, which affects animals also, is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease, such as the unparalleled pandemic, or world epidemic, of 1918-19, when about half the worlds population were infected and about twenty million people died, some from p

40、neumonia caused by the virus itself and some from secondary complications caused by bacteria.Accurate prediction is difficult because of the complication of the factors. A particular virus may be related to one to which some of the population have partial involved immunity. The extent to which it wi

41、ll spread will depend on factors such as its own strength, or virulence the ease with which it can be transmitted and the strength of the opposition it encounters. Scientists, however, have a reliable general picture of the world situation, influenza A attacks us in waves every two or three years, w

42、hile influenza B, which travels more slowly, launches its main assaults every three to six years. The outbreaks vary from isolated cases to epidemic involving a tenth or more of the population. We may confidently prophesy that sooner or later large numbers of people will be feeling the unpleasant ef

43、fects of some kind of influenza virus.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage? A. Symptoms of influenza, B. Man Versus Virus. C.

44、 the author, which of the following is NOT true about influenza? A. Man has obtained a great deal of knowledge about influenza. B. The occurrence of influenza is still unpredictable. C. Extensive and systematic study on influenza is being done. D. No reliable treatment of influenza has yet been foun

45、d.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What does the author say about the influenza B virus? A. B virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. B. B virus is unstable, and is responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. C. B virus is extremely uns

46、table and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease. D. B virus has a very developed variability, and it affects only human beings.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following is the most dangerous virus according to the passage? A. Influenza A virus. B. Influenza B virus. C. Influenza C virus. D. The uncertain one.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following
