12、1. 30 Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill(31) _ the nations and that if countries play (32) _ together they will learn to live together. (33) _say that the opposite is true, that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.
13、There is probably (34) _ truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done (35) _to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was here the tragic (36)_ involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by (37) _incidents caused p
14、rincipally by minor national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. (38) _ had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers (39) _ to thefinal decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should have been disa
15、llowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said; “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished. “ The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result (40) the suspension of the team for at least thr
16、ee years. The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place (41) _ Russia, after a disputable end to (42) _ contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first (43) _the United States had won, by a single (44) _, but it was announced that there were three s

Part A Directions: Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 Hotels were
20、 among the earliest facilities that bound the United States together. They were both creatures and creators of communities, as well as symptoms of the frenetic quest for community. Even in the first part of the nineteenth century, Americans were already forming the habit of gathering from all corner
21、s of the nation for both public and private, business and pleasure purposes. Conventions were the new occasions, and hotels were distinctively American facilities making conventions possible. The first national convention of a major party to choose a candidate for President (that of the National Rep
22、ublican Party, which met on December 12, 1831, and nominated Henry Clay for President) was held in Baltimore, at a hotel that was then reputed to be the best in the country. The presence in Baltimore of Barnums City Hotel, a six-story building with two hundred apartments, helps explain why many othe
23、r early national political conventions were held there. In the longer nm, too, American hotels made other national conventions not only possible but pleasant and convivial. The growing custom of regularly assembling from afar the representatives of all kinds of groups not only for political conventi
24、ons, but also for commercial, professional, learned, and avocational ones in turn supported the multiplying hotels. By mid-twentieth century, conventions accounted for over a third of the yearly room occupancy of all hotels in the nation; about eighteen thousand different conventions were held annua
25、lly with a total attendance of about ten million persons. Nineteenth-century American hotelkeepers, who were no longer the genial, deferential “hosts“of the eighteenth-century European inn, became leading citizens. Holding a large stake in the community, they exercised power to make it prosper. As o
26、wners or managers of the local “palace of the public“, they were makers and shapers of a principal community attraction. Travelers from abroad were mildly shocked by this high social position. 51 The word “bound“ in line 1 is closest in meaning to_. （ A） led （ B） protected （ C） tied （ D） strengthene
27、d 52 The National Republican Party is mentioned in line 7 as an example of a group_. （ A） from Baltimore （ B） of learned people （ C） owning a hotel （ D） holding a convention 53 The word “assembling“ in line 13 is closest in meaning to_. （ A） announcing （ B） motivating （ C） gathering （ D） contracting
28、 54 It can be inferred from the passage that early hotelkeepers in the United States were （ A） active politicians （ B） European immigrants （ C） professional builders （ D） influential citizens 55 Which of the following statements about early American hotels is NOT mentioned in the passage? （ A） Trave
29、lers from abroad did not enjoy staying in them. （ B） Conventions were held in them. （ C） People used them for both business and pleasure. （ D） They were important to the community. 55 The president of a university acts as the institutions chief executive officer. Presidents usually have extensive ac
30、ademic experience as either college or university administrators. In some cases, they may be people of notable achievement outside of academic life. For example, Dwight D. Eisenhower served as president of Columbia University in New York City from 1948 to 1950, after commanding the Allied forces in
31、Europe during World War II (1939 1945). He was later elected the 34th president of the United States, in 1952. Presidents of colleges and universities enforce the policies, regulations, and other procedures that govern their institution. They also meet with the board of trustees and make recommendat
32、ions to the board regarding the government and policies of the school. They appoint and, if necessary, remove other officers of the institution, such as vice presidents or deans; they approve or disapprove new policies and procedures recommended by the institutions administrative and faculty committ
33、ees; and they represent the college or university to the general public and to the institutions alumni. Depending on the size of the institution, a college or university will appoint a number of vice presidents to assist the president in running the school. The academic vice president is responsible
34、 for faculty appointments and dismissals and for approving or revising academic programs. Often the academic vice president is a former dean of a college or other academic division within the institution. The institutions financial and budgetary matters are the responsibility of the vice president f
35、or finance. The vice president for student services is responsible for nonacademic matters relating to students, such as operating counseling services, residence halls, and student activities and organizations. The vice president for human resources is responsible for nonfaculty appointments such as
36、 the hiring of secretaries and personnel to maintain the grounds and other facilities. The academic deans are the chief executives and administrators of the various colleges or other academic divisions of an institution. For example, at a large university, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, t
37、he College of Education, and the School of Law each have a dean who is appointed by the president or the academic vice president. Frequently, deans have had experience as chairperson of academic departments in the institution. The responsibilities of deans typically include implementing policies est
38、ablished by the board of trustees and the president; preparing the budgets and overseeing the spending of funds within the academic division; supervising the faculty; recommending faculty in their college or school to the academic vice president for appointment, promotion, tenure, or termination; an
39、d maintaining or increasing student enrollments in their college or school. 56 Which of the following official ranks is not introduced? （ A） President of the university. （ B） Vice president of the university. （ C） Dean of the college. （ D） Dean of the department. 57 _must have academic achievement i
40、n certain subject. （ A） Presidents （ B） Vice presidents （ C） Academic vice presidents （ D） Deans 58 Which of the following statement is true? （ A） Deans are the chief leaders in a university. （ B） Presidents are chief officers in a university. （ C） General Dwight D. Eisenhower was an excellent acade
41、mic president. （ D） Deans can remove the vice president of an institution. 59 _is not the duty of deans. （ A） Meeting the board of trustees （ B） Supervising the spending of funds within the college （ C） Recommending faculty to academic vice president for promotion （ D） Being charge of the enrollment
42、 of students 60 The word “alumni“ (in paragraph 2) means_. （ A） a male former student of a school, college or university （ B） a female former student of a school, college or university （ C） a former teacher of a school, college or university （ D） a former executive of a college or university 60 Mana
43、gers spend a great deal of their time in meetings. According to Henry Mintzberg, in his book, The Nature of Managerial Work, managers in large organizations spend only 22 per cent of their time on meetings. So what are the managers doing in those meetings? There have conventionally been two answers.
44、 The first is the academic version: Managers are coordinating and controlling, making decisions, solving problems and planning. This interpretation has been largely discredited because it ignores the social and political forces at work in meetings. The second version claims that meetings provide lit
45、tle more than strategic sites for corporate gladiators to perform before the organizational emperors. This perspective is far more attractive, and has given rise to a large, and often humorous, body of literature on gamesmanship and posturing in meetings. It is, of course, true that meeting rooms se
46、rve as shop windows for managerial talent, but this is far from the truth as a whole. The suggestion that meetings are actually battle grounds is misleading since the feelings of meetings has far more to do with comfort than conflict. Meetings are actually vital props, both for the participants and
47、the organization as a whole. For the organization, meetings represent recording devices. The minutes of meetings catalogue the change of the organization, at all levels, in a more systematic way than do the assorted memos and directives which are scattered about the company. They enshrine the minute
48、s of corporate history, they itemize proposed actions and outcomes in a way which makes one look like the natural culmination of the other. The whole tenor of the minutes is one of total premeditation and implied continuity. They are a sanitized version of reality which suggests a reassuring level o
49、f control over events. What is more, the minutes record the debating of certain issues in an official and democratic forum, so that those not involved in the process can be assured that the decision was not taken lightly. As Dong Bennett, an administrative and financial manager with Allied Breweries, explains: “Time and effort are seen to have been invested in scrutinizing a certain course of action. “ Key individuals are also seen to have put their names behin
