8、he best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers
9、 melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers. Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the r
10、egion became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics. A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the bi
11、rds“ bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.（分数：10.00）(1).According to one
12、theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds_.（分数：2.00）A.stopped migratingB.continued migratingC.stayed in the northD.migrated south and stayed there(2).The author states that birds left the tropics because_.（分数：2.00）A.there was not enough food there in the winterB.there were too many birdsC.there w
13、ere too many glaciersD.there was too much daylight(3).Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?（分数：2.00）A.To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.B.To test the relationship between daylight and migration.C.To test the relationship betwee
14、n migration and temperature.D.To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.(4).According to the theory of photo-periodism, _.（分数：2.00）A.birds should migrate in the middle of the winterB.longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsC.seasonal changes in the length of days do
15、 not affect migrationD.increasing daylight increases the distance of migration(5).This passage supports the belief that_.（分数：2.00）A.exact reasons for migration are not knownB.birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC.the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsD.glaciers caused birds to mi
16、grateIn Guangzhou, capital of South China“s Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday. And the airpo
17、rt“s flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year. Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport had to cancel some international services to Southeast Asian nations and regions because of the outbreak of SARS beginning in
18、April, the official said. The official predicted his airport“s international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August. Currently, the Guangzhou airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And nine foreign airlines

23、sport and tourism after SARSD.the resuming service in Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportIt is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or p
24、atting their faces-things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health. It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as
25、much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a
26、struggle, for themselves. Convenient flats, “motherly“ visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied-the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one“s fellows.（分数：10.00）(1).Many people are not aware that it is rather
27、rude to_.（分数：2.00）A.talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not thereB.show sympathy for the oldC.take care of the old when they are not iiiD.pat the faces of the contemporaries(2).According to the passage the old would very much like to_.（分数：2.00）A.live aloneB.live in comfor
28、table and well-run homesC.be treated as adults instead of babiesD.get unselfish help from their friends and relatives(3).The author suggests that_.（分数：2.00）A.much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the oldB.kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old needC.the old should be left to
29、do whatever they want by themselvesD.to the old, the friends“ and relatives“ respect is, at least, as important as their concern(4).If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves, _.（分数：2.00）A.they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellowsB.they won“t feel hurt or hum
30、iliatedC.they will be able to develop their brains and musclesD.they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active(5).The passage is mainly about that_.（分数：2.00）A.improper care and concern may do more harm than good to the oldB.how to take good care of the old in different waysC.nowadays many
31、people are not respectful enough to the oldD.old people are just like children, who are difficult to satisfySoftware Systems Specialist （分数：10.00）(1).The position may bring the employee an annual income of the following EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.$62,500B.$92,000C.less than $62,500D.more than $92,000(2).The

35、ne and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.（分数：20.00）_Besides active foreign enterprises and a【31】number of private employers, a consequential new development was the development of employment in state-owned enterprises (guanying or guanshang ). Started by some
36、【32】Qing officials, the yangwupai, in the late nineteenth century, sizable state-owned enterprises developed primarily【33】enhancing China“s national defense. Famous industrial giants of today“s China such as the shipyards in Shanghai and heavy industries in cities like Wuhan, Nanjing, and Chongqing
37、were built by the Qing or the Republic governments. Some of them later began to【34】considerable private investment. After World War , this type of stateowned employment became very important. Labor in those enterprises consisted basically【35】two tiers: a largely market-oriented allocation of blue-co
38、llar and some white-collar workers, and a mostly state allocation of most of the white-collar workers including managerial and technical personnel. The latter was a distorted labor market that featured strong【36】considerations in allocating and managing labor. Personal and kinship connections, the s
39、o-called “petticoat influence,“ and political【37】were the norm for this type of labor allocation pattern. In a way, it was midway between a rather crude market-oriented labor allocation pattern and the centuries-old, warm, family-based traditional labor allocation pattern. It covered a very small bu
40、t important portion of the Chinese labor force, and thus【38】our attention. Later, it apparently provided the historical precedent【39】state-owned enterprises to allocate their administrative and technical cadres, even its entire industrial labor force,【40】state employees.（分数：20.00）A.growingB.growC.gr
