Text 1 When an associate of the Mus6e d'Art Moderne Andr6-Malraux in Normandy flipped through the catalogue for the auction of impressionist art at Sotheby's in New York on November 2nd, he made a startling discovery. On sale was "Blanchisseuses souffrant des dents", a painting by Edgar Degas, which had been stolen in 1973 from a museum where it had been on loan from the Louvre. After being alerted by the French authorities, Sotheby's dropped the painting from the sale. Now an investigation is under way. The owner is likely to lose it without compensation when it is returned to France. Like most art collectors, the owner had no art-title insurance, which would have provided compensation for the painting's value. "Theft accounts for only a quarter of title disputes," says Judith Pearson, a co-founder of ARIS, a small insurance firm that has been selling title insurance since 2006 and which was taken over by Argo Group, a bigger insurer, earlier this month. Three-quarters of squabbles occur in cases of divorce or inheritance. A work of art may also carry liens after being used as a collateral for a loan. More rarely, two or more artists may collaborate but then disagree about who has authority to flog their co-production. Does the risk of title disputes warrant the cost of title insurance? ARIS charges a one-off premium of between 1.75% and 6% of the art's value. In return the company will cover the legal costs in case of a title dispute and compensate for the agreed value of the art if their client loses the ownership dispute. ARIS has so far written about 1,000 policies and has not yet had a claim. An alternative to art-title insurance is for collectors to do due diligence about the provenance of a work of art themselves. Yet many do not have the time or the tools to carry out such research, which is a complex undertaking as there is no central register of art ownership. And even sophisticated collectors get it wrong, as the clients of Salander-O'Reilly, a New York art gallery, discovered. It collapsed spectacularly in 2007 after it emerged that it had dealt in stolen art and defrauded its clients in a Madoffian manner for years. Such cases are exceptional, but as the market booms and the value of art increases, more art lovers will look for additional assurances that their art is really theirs.
1. The collectors of" Blanchisseuses souffrant des dents" would lose their collections because______.
A.this painting had been stolen from the Louvre
B.he didn't have art-title insurance
C.this painting belonged to the French authorities
A.title disputes led by divorce are more than theft
B.purchasing title insurance may avoid of disputes
C.the men who have the ownership dispute often go to court
D.art-title insurance for collectors is to carry out such researches
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实判断题 [解析] 文中第四段一句，可以采用的一个替代艺术品产权保证险的方法是“to do due diligence about the prmrenance of a work of art themselves”，可见调查收藏品来源是可以避免争议的方法。选项B错误，是因为购买所有权保险只是在争议发生购买者失去所有权时有所补偿，并不能避免所有权争议。A选项曲解原文，第二段一句说盗贼导致的争议占1/4，第二段二句提到离婚和遗产继承导致的所有权争议占到了3/4，但离婚所导致的是否比盗贼多并无法确定。C项过度推断，第三段三句中捉到了“client loss”，不代表争议者常常上法庭。
4. Collectors have difficulties in investigating the source of arts because______.
A.they can purchase title insurance
B.there is no registered centre for title insurance
C.they are unable to distinguish
D.many do not have the time or the tools to carry out such researches______.
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实判断题 [解析] 第四段二句，“Yet many do not have the time or the tools to carry out such research，．．．”说明是因为时间和渠道的原因，D正确。A选项答非所问，B选项以偏概全，即使没有所有权登记中心，也是可以进行调查，只是调查困难而已。C选项夸大其辞，第四段三句提到即使老练的收藏者也会看走眼，但不代表没有分辨能力。
5. From the passage we may know that
A.Sotheby specializes for the auction of impressionist art
B.it is worth of purchasing title insurance
C.consumers need to purchase title insurance annually
D.sophisticated collectors find that Salander-O'Reilly fools the consumers
Text 2 If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys raw materials or equipment. The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central--usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy. While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work-forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies. As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do ) , the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottle-necks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to he operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
1. According to this passage, the problem America firm faced with is______.
A.workers' skill string
B.the lack of money
C.the way of training workers
D.ignorance to human-resource management
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题 [解析] 文章开门见山提出问题所在，点明文章主旨，是全文的中心句。从首句“If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills，Ameriean firms have a problem”可以看出美国公司现在面临一个问题，即是否可以依靠劳动者的技能保持竞争优势。再看第二段句首分论点“The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the eorporate hierarchy”，即在公司的等级制度中，可以看出对人力资源的管理缺乏重视。综合以上两点可以推出正确答案为D。
2. Comparing with Japan and Germany, American companies______.
A.pay more attention to human-resource management
B.put the head of human-resource in higher position
C.spend less money in training workers
D.train workers to master the basic skills
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题 [解析] 从文章While Ametriean firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work—forces，in fact they imvest less in the skills of their employ rees than do either Japanese or GeITnan firms．可以了解到，与日本或德国公司相比，他们对职员技术培训的投资要少，从而可得出正确答案为C。
3. According to this passage______.
A.human-resource management is not important in the United States
B.the chief financial officer is not important in Japan
C.in an American firm the chief financial officer is more than CEO important
D.CEO is the most powerful man in a Japan firm
A B C D
D
[解析] 判断题 [解析] 从文章The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO)．(Line 4.5.Para 2)可以看出，日本的人力资源管理主管是中心的，通常是仅次于首席执行官的第二位重要的执行官，可见首席执行官权力最大。所以D项为正确答案。
4. According to this passage, when new breakthrough technologies arrive,______.
A.German workers take less time to learn them
B.American companies have to spend more money in workers' training
C.in America new equipments are equipped with higher speed
D.the cost of training in America is lower
A B C D
A
[解析] 推断题 [解析] 从文章If American workers，for example，take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as they do)，即美国工人比德国工人花费更长的时间学习如何掌握新的灵活的制造工作(正如他们所做的)，同时付出了更高的学习成本。可见A为正确答案，而B、C、D项与文章原文恰恰论述相反，故均可排除。
5. What is the author's attitude towards American companies?
Text 3 A rare provision in San Francisco's business tax code that taxes companies when employees cash in their stock options has caused a stir in this hotbed of fledgling tech companies. Remarkably, few companies even knew about the tax, which has been in effect for seven years. But since city officials offered Twitter a payroll-tax break as an incentive for it to remain in San Francisco (the company is considered likely to go public soon), the stock-option provision has suddenly come under intense scrutiny. A number of other booming companies, including Zings, the maker of online games and one of the city's fastest-growing firms, have threatened to leave the city unless they receive similar payroll-tax exemptions before going public. Unlike most cities, San Francisco generates most of its business tax revenue through a payroll tax. The Twitter exemption bill, which will be considered by the full Board of Supervisors on April 5, would freeze payroll taxes for six years along a strip of Market Street—where Twitter is set to relocate—and several square blocks in the Tenderloin neighborhood. Twitter executives had been concerned because since 2004 the city's payroll tax code has counted stock options granted to employees as compensation, which is taxed at 1.5 percent. If Twitter goes public in San Francisco and a large number of workers exercise their options, the city would tax the company on its employees' stock gains—a bill likely to amount to tens of millions of dollars. "Twitter could be looking at a significantly larger payroll tax liability if and when it goes public," said Ted Egan, the chief economist in San Francisco's controller's office. Because of the dearth of I. P. O. 's inside the city limits in the last decade, the stockoption tax has gone under radar until now. Businesses, city officials and even seasoned tax lawyers are confounded. "Nobody ever talked about this because nobody's really tested these issues before," said Thomas H. Steele, a partner in Morrison & Foerster's San Francisco office, specializing in state and local tax. He said that his clients began calling him this week to ask about the tax's ramifications. "A Pandora's box has already been opened," said Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, a member of the Board of Supervisors' budget and finance committee, who has expressed concern about tailoring legislation for one company. "We've been going about this the wrong way," he said. The recent confusion has added impetus to calls for comprehensive business tax reform by David Chiu, the board president. "The stock option problem is real," Mr. Chiu said. "We have to address it in a fair and responsible way. "
1. According to the first paragragh,we know______.
A.there are many high tech companies in San Francisco
B.payroll-tax break is unreasonable
C.other companies are jealous of Twitter
D.city officials offered tax-free for listed companies
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题 [解析] 文中第一段首句最后一个分句提到“．．．in this hotbed 0f fledgling tech companies”，可知旧金山有很多高科技企业，故A正确。B选项搬弄是非，第一段只有三句提到“since...，the stock-option provisionhas suddenly come under intense scmtiny”，并不涉及对该法案的看法。第一段最后一句提出许多其他企业威胁离开旧金山，没有提到其余企业对Twitter的态度，C项过度推断。D项文中未提及。
2. We can infer from the second paragraph______.
A.Twitter no longer continues to be tax-free
B.Twitter's going public has disadvantage
C.The Twitter exemption bill will reduce the San Francisco government's revenue
D.Twitter executives are concerned about Twitter's going public
A B C D
C
[解析] 推理判断题 [解析] 第二段讲述了为了留住Twitter，the full Board of Supervisors将在下周考虑通过对Twltter周围街区免税的政策，如果没有该免税政策的话，Twitter上市可能面临高达几千万美元的工资税，由此可见A选项错误，之前Twitter并不享受免税。B选项以偏概全，虽然Twitter可能面临几千万美元的工资税，但并不见得给Twitter带来的好处会小于弊端。第二段三句提到“Twitter executves had been conceined．．．”，此处concerned应为对投票关切，或者表示焦虑，不是对Twitter能否上市关切，故D错误。排除三项之后，可知C选项为正确答案。
3. Most of the companies have no ideas about stock-option provision because______.
A.Twitter couldn't be noticed by the public
B.other companies has no seasoned tax lawyers
C.this is the only privilege that Twitter can enjoy
D.in the past ten years, San Francisco's I. P. O. 's were a few so that they cannot be paid attention
C.There would be more similar occurances to come out.
D.He would veto at the meeting.
A B C D
B
[解析] 推理判断题 [解析] 由关键词Ross Mirkarimi可以定位到最后一段四、五句，其中他提到A Pandora's box has already been opened...，“we’ve been going about this the wrong way”，可见他认为为企业改变法律是有问题的，B正确。A、C、D均过度推断。
5. About the board president ,which is the correct?
A.His reformatory intent would be more supportive.
B.He thinks that it is unfair of the present tax-free system.
C.He has the same opinions as Ross Mirkarimi does.
D.He thinks present system is confusing.

[解析] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据board president可定位至末段最后两句，文中提到“the recent confusion has added i’mpetus to calls for comprehensive business tax reform...”可见A选项正确，B选项曲解原文，文中指的是以更公平和负责任的方式处理当前的问题。C项和D项无中生有，都是利用原文个别词汇制造干扰。
Text 4 A conventional teacher's licensee usually requires a university degree in education plus an unpaid term of practice teaching. This has never made much sense. It excludes bright students who take degrees in other subjects, and might teach those subjects; it is costly and time-consuming for career-switchers, who must wait a year or more before they can enter a classroom; it is so rigid that private-school teachers or university professors with years of experience have to jump through hoops before they can start teaching in a state school. And there is virtually no evidence that it creates better teachers. For all that, it is strongly backed by schools of education, which have a monopoly of teacher-training, and by teachers' unions, whose members make more money when it is artificially hard for others to get into the profession. Now, some 45 states and the Districts of Columbia offer an "alternative route" to a teacher's licensee, up from only a handful in the 1980s. Alternative certification (AC) generally allows individuals with a university degree to begin teaching immediately after passing an entrance examination. These recruits, watched over by a mentor teach the subject they studied at university, and take education courses at a sponsoring university while drawing their salaries. The traditional sort of American teacher is likely to be young, white and female. Alternative certification attracts more men and more non-whites. In Texas, for instance, roughly 90% of public-school teachers are white, but 40% of those who have joined through alternative certification are non-whites. The AC route also draws teachers willing to go where they are most needed. A survey of Troops to Teachers, a program that turns exsoldiers into public-school teachers (" Proud to serve again"), found that 39% of those taking part are willing to teach in inner-city schools, and 68% in rural areas. Are they good teachers? Officialdom is reluctant to release the details which might answer that question for certain. But anecdotal evidence suggests they do well. In New Jersey, which has been running this sort of program since 1984, rich districts, which can afford to be choosy, consistently hire more AC teachers than poor districts do. In Houston, Texas, where the Teach of America program (TFA) puts recent university graduates into poor communities as teachers, the most effective teachers are generally the TFA ones. " School principals are our biggest fans," Wendy Kopp, TFA's president, says proudly. So why not scrap the cumbersome teacher-licensing laws? Frederick Hess, a professor at the University of Virginia, has written a paper for the Progressive Policy Institute arguing that teacher-licensing ought to be stripped to the bare essentials. Prospective teachers should be required only to hold a college degree, pass a test of essential skills, and be checked to make sure they do not have a criminal background. Other training is important, argues Mr. Hess, but the market, not state legislators, should decide what that training looks like. This notion of "competitive certification" has drawn favorable attention from the Bush administration.
1. How does the author feel about the conventional teacher's training?
A.Ridiculous.
B.Unjust.
C.Complicated.
D.Irrelevant.
A B C D
C
[解析] 作者观点题 [解析] 文章第一段首句指出传统教师资格证书通常要求教员具备教育专业的大学学位，同时还要经过一学期无薪教育实习。然后指出的种种弊端。第二段则阐述另一种教师资格认证体系(Ahernative Certification)，相比起来传统的资格制度太繁琐，弊端较多。而且最后一段作者主张废除这种麻烦的资格认证制度。可见，C项为正确答案。A项为干扰项，我们不能仅凭文章第2句话“This has never made much sense”就认为A项是作者的观点，需要综观全局。
2. Which of the following is true of alternative certification (AC. ?
A.Many states have offered it since the 1980s.
B.Schools of education and teachers' unions opposed it.
C.AC offers a flexible training program for new teachers.
D.New recruits will require a university degree in education.
5. What does the author suggest when he calls for "competitive certification" ( Line 7—8, Para.5 ) ?
A.Simplify teacher-licencing.
B.Operate education like a market.
C.Scrap unified education standard.
D.Make entry easy for prospective teachers.
A B C D
A
[解析] 作者观点题 [解析] 答案在文章最后一段。文章首段批评了传统的教师资格证书体制过于繁琐，带来种种弊端；第二至四段则介绍了新的教师资格认证办法及其带来的积极变化；最后一段作者提出自己的主张。从最后一段的主题句看，作者的主张是废除繁琐的教师资格认证法。接着作者引用了弗吉尼亚大学汉斯教授的观点来说明如何简化入行(进入教师行业)程序，并提到了the notion of competitive ceritfication，说它已经引起了布什政府的积极关注。(This notion of competitive certification”has draWn favourable attention from the Bush administration．)所以，作者在呼吁“competitilye certification(资格竞争)”时，实际上主张的是简化教师资格认证程序和内容。因此A项为正确答案。B项是干扰项。最后一段倒数第2句话汉斯认为教师从前所接受的培训内容应该由市场而不是立法者决定。B项则把training偷换为education，违背了原文。C项明显不符合原文。D项不如A项直接准确。
Part B Directions: The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-E to fill in each numbered box. The first and the last paragraphs have been placed for you in boxes. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. [A] Not everything has changed, of course. As often in the past, the injured policemen were soft targets. One, in Duncannon, was shot as his car was stalled in a traffic jam. The Londonderry officer was wounded as he dropped off his son at school. A friend said he had recently joined the PSNI, which is 23% Catholic, because he believed it very different from the old Protestant-dominated Royal Ulster Constabulary. (He had, however, moved house.) The Real IRA answered Sinn Fein's pleas for co-operation with the police by threatening to kill anyone who did so. And the shooting in Dungannon caused a long-delayed meeting of the policing-partnership committee there, to which Sinn Fein had at last sent nominees, to be cancelled. [B] These events make many anxious. Others, however, note advances. The policemen were shot by men who call themselves the Real IRA, an implicit dismissal of mainstream republicans who support the peace process that six months ago put Martin McCuinness, a tormer IRA leader, at the head of the province's devolved government along with the Live Ian Paisley, once a diehard unionist. [C] Ulster's miserable past refuses to go quietly. Two policemen were shot and injured by republican paramilitaries in the five days from November 8th. On November lath the Ulster Defence Association (UDA),. the largest of the loyalist paramilitary groups, said it would " stand down" from midnight but would neither destroy nor hand over its weapons. The following day the peaceprocess watchdog, the Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC), confirmed that those who beat Paul Quinn to death last month across the border from south Armagh were IRA members "past or present, or associates". It was too soon to tell, it said, whether the IRA's commanding " army council" had given the order. [D] There is no loyalist equivalent of Sinn Fein, originally the IRA's mouthpiece and now the largest party representing Catholic voters. The UDA and the smaller Ulster Volunteer Force came into being to defend the Union and Protestants against the IRA, though most of their 980 victims were innocent Catholics. As IRA violence waned, UDA figures became best known for their drug-dealing, gold jewelry and cocaine habits. Fledgling loyalist politics were damaged by association. Rivalry for the control of lucrative criminal businesses fuelled violent feuds and delayed the decommissioning of weapons. [E] But violence is yielding diminishing returns. The Real IRA became notorious in 1998, when they tried to wreck the newly negotiated power-sharing settlement by bombing the town of Omagh, near Dungannon. The death toll of 29 was the greatest loss of life in a single Troubles bombing. But the tragedy strengthened support for the peace process. Most dissident attacks since then have been sabotaged by police infiltration and what many suspect is information from other republicans. [F] Loyalist groups first called a much-breached ceasefire in 1994, and the UDA's announcement this time was undermined by the refusal to hand over its guns. But a recent tragedy has underlined just why the paramilitaries must be put out of business. A fortnight ago a 16-year-old named Dean Clarke hanged himself in the down-at-heel Tigers Bay district of north Belfast. He had just come out of hospital after treatment for drug poisoning. His mother said a local UDA boss had sold the boy ketamine, a tranquilliser used to sedate horses. [G] Twenty years ago Mr McGuinness directed the bombings that blitzed the centre of Londonderry. This time he derided those who attacked an officer in that city for seeming not to know the war was over, and called on witnesses to help the police. Mr Paisley and his troops have changed as well. In the past his Democratic Unionist Party professed to see no difference between mainstream and dissident republicans. This week he was content to seek assurances from Sir Hugh Orde, chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) , that the police had resources enough to "quash" the dissidents.

Part C Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Since the 19th century, Nathan Hale has been widely viewed as an American hero. He was the first American executed for spying for his country. Statues of him stand in New York City, at Yale University, and at the Central Intelligence Agency's headquarters. (46)His last words, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country" indicate his deep devotion to his nation and have been an inspiration to subsequent generations of Americans. In September of 1776, Nathan Hale was a 21-year old captain in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. (47) When there was a need for intelligence gathering following the American loss of Long Island, Hale volunteered to cross enemy lines and gather as much information about the British army in New Work as he could. To do that, he disguised himself as a Dutch schoolteacher and made his way to New York from Norwalk, Connecticut. His activities upon arriving at New York remain something of a mystery. It is known that he took notes and made some drawings before attempting to leave the island. Before he could do that, however, he was betrayed. How he was betrayed remains a mystery as well. There are two main accounts of how this happened. One says that one of Hale's relatives, Samuel Hale, turned him in after recognizing him in a tavern. (48) The other says that Robert Rogers, a British Major, did not believe that Hale was a schoolteacher and that he got Hale to admit he was a spy by pretending to be a spy himself. However it happened, Hale was captured on September 21, 1776. When he was captured, the British found the notes and drawings that Hale had produced. (49) Armed with this evidence, they easily obtained his confession that he was indeed a member of the Continental Army. This made him an uninformed enemy combatant behind enemy lines. Given the rules of war at the time, the British were perfectly justified in hanging him the next morning without a trial. Hale was executed at the tender age of 21. (50) Although Hale's spying mission ended in failure, his display of patriotism made him a hero among the colonists fighting for independence.

As is vividly shown in the picture, the .scene recruitment is packed with hundreds of job-seekers in a first-tier city,while a boy who just got a college diploma~ chose to take his package and escape from this city in which there is a bigurban competitiveness. He will go alone to medium and small cities to better himself. The drawing, thougt-pvoking as it is,dose mirror a current social phenomenon——with the house price higher and higher and the growing pressure of life in large cities, some university students, including urban workers will be looking to medium and small cities, choose to leave Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other first-tier cities. In China, there are so many graduates pouting into the society every year that it is not easy for them to find a good job after graduating. Many graduateswould like to work in big cities. They think there are more opportunities in a city than in a town. And the salary's higher. However, with the growing population in big cities, many problems have occurred. Life there has become more difficult and inconvenient. Besides, buying or renting a flat is a big burden for them. They feel tired both physically and mentally. Therefore, there are ninny graduates who like stay in a town to develop their careers. They believe that it is less competitive in a town than in a city.
