19、and traditions that teach them are unique to each culture. Not only that, but culture has an effect on how people show these virtues. One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty. The wall-known legend about George Washington and a cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Another virtu

20、e Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesops fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a sleep. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Compassion(同情心 )may be the queen of American virtues. In 1992, people in Iowa

21、 sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the mid-west of flooding, Florida returned the favor. There are more moral values honored by Americans.

Task 2

26、Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create t

27、oo much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a

28、country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other part

29、s of the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourists attractions

30、. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to g

31、et to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost. 41 Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before this passage?

32、 （ A） It is extremely important to develop tourism. （ B） Building roads and hotels is essential. （ C） Support facilities are highly necessary. （ D） Planning is of great importance to tourism. 42 Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _. （ A） a bad effect on other industries （ B） a chan

33、ge of tourists customs （ C） overcrowdedness of places of interest （ D） pressure on traffic 43 Not enough tourism can lead to _. （ A） an increase of unemployment （ B） a decrease in tourist attractions （ C） the higher cost of support facilities （ D） a rise in price and a fall in pay 44 It is good for

34、local people to know well that tourism will _. （ A） use up a large amount of water （ B） weaken their economy （ C） help establish their customs （ D） help improve their life 45 The word “handle“ in the last paragraph most probably means _ （ A） carry many （ B） pick up （ C） get in （ D） take down Task 3

35、Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks. 46 High school and college students in the United States today, as well as others

36、who plan to work in this country, have one important question about their futures: Will they find a job? Theres no easy answer, of course. But lets look at some of the recent changes in the U.S. job market and see if we can make some predictions for future job hunters. A. good way to begin is to loo

37、k at the American work force and how its changing. Clearly, the most important change has been the shift from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. Lets define both of these terms. First, a service economy is one in which most workers provide services-that is they do something instead of mak

38、ing something. They dont produce a specific product; they serve customers or clients, like your doctor does, or your hair stylist, or airline pilots, salesclerks, etc. Now, in contrast, people who actually produce things - like cars, furniture or clothing-are part of the manufacturing economy. So ag

39、ain, the point here is that we have changed from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. The following numbers will show you just how big a change this has been. One hundred years ago, 80% of workers produced goods; today only about 20% do. Economists predict that this change is going to conti

40、nue in the same direction, in fact, by the year 2000, nine out of ten workers will supply services. The Changing U.S. Job Market Change in work force: (46) to (47) economy. A. Definitions: 1. produce things 2. do something instead of making something B. States: 1.100 years ago: (48) 2. (49) :20% wor

41、kers 3. year 2000: (50) Task 4 Directions: The following is a list of terms. After reading it, you are required to find the items equivalent to those given in Chinese in the table below.

After reading the passage you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No.56 throu

44、gh No.60) following them. 56 The rules for writing an abstract (摘要 )are almost the same to those for writing the summary of an investigation report. In an abstract you make an outline of the problem and the purpose of your investigation, mention very briefly how you conducted the investigation or te

45、sts, describe your main findings, and make the conclusions. All this must be done in as few words as possible; ideally, your abstract will be about 125 words long and never more than 250 words. From the abstract, readers must be able to decide whether the information you provide in the scientific pa

46、per or report is particularly interesting to them and whether they should read further. Because a scientific paper is written for readers who generally are familiar with your technical or scientific discipline (科 ), you may use technical terminology (术语 )in the abstract. The abstract should be writt

47、en last, when the whole paper has been written, so that you can make an abstract of the brief details you need from what you have already written. 56 How will you write an abstract?
