14.Western airliner manufacturers seem to be tripping over (绊倒) themselves in their eagerness to sign cooperative agreements with Asian partners as a low-cost route to developing new airliners.Their potential Asian partners seem to be tripping over themselves to sign such agreements,as a low-cost route to acquiring new airliner technology.If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain,the other by trying to break into a market which isn't big enough to sustain (忍受) it.Technology transfer works in a growing market,where the aspirations of the new entrant receiving that technology can be met through expansion.The airliner market is not such a device.
Even the most optimistic projections of airliner sales for the next 20years show that airliner manufacture can only be profitable if a small number of aircraft builders share the available sales.It follows that if new manufacturers come into the market and take sales,their sales must come from substitution,not expansion.
Given the complexity of today's airliners,it is unlikely that any new entrant will have both the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement of an established manufacturer.In the short term,such involvement may not be to the exclusive benefit of the new entrant most of the established manufacturers are searching for ways to reduce costs of manufacture.
In the short term,it can be of benefit to an established Western manufacturer to have either components of complete air-frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such as China,Taiwan or Korea,while retaining the design,development and marketing of aircraft for itself.It would be a very unwise Western manufacturer which did not notice the fact that these developing economies are acquiring skills (like computing) at least as quickly as they are acquiring skills in metal bashing (猛击).
The danger comes when the new entrant no longer needs the established Western partner because it has acquired the technical and intellectual ability to design and build its own aircraft.An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-cost labour base,the high-cost technology base and the vital financial base to build a new airliner.
74.The author's attitude towards Western/Eastern cooperation can be described asC.
A.positive B.progressive C.conservative D.negative
75."The airliner market is not such a device"means that the airliner marketD.
A.does not encourage technology transfer
B.is too limited to offer chances of success
C.requires hi-tech rather than unaccepted devices
D.is full of competitions for new entrants
76.According to the author,a wise established manufacturer shouldD.
A.try to benefit from both financial and technical resources
B.break up his partnership with the East once profits are made
C.keep a tight told over hi-tech development and marketing of airliners
D.cooperate with Asian partners for a short time
77.The word"base"in the last paragraph representsA.
A.a place for aircraft production
B.the operation of aircraft
C.a research institute
D.a position where to build office.

解答 74.C 75.D 76.D 77.A
74 C 细节题. 根据文章第一 段If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain,the other by trying to break into a market which isn't big enough to sustain (忍受) it. 可知如果他们不小心,最终都不会双赢,因此作者对东西方的合作的态度是保守的,故选C.
75 D 细节题. 根据文章第四段it is unlikely that any new entrant will have both the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement of an established manufacturer. 可知航空公司受益的条件非常苛刻,因此航空市场对于新的加入者充满了竞争.
76 D 细节题. 根据文章倒数第二 段In the short term,it can be of benefit to an established Western manufacturer to have either components of complete air-frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such as China,Taiwan or Korea,可知聪明的制造商可以短期的和亚洲伙伴合作获得利益,故选D.
77 A 猜测词义题. 根据文章最后一段An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-cost labour base,the high-cost technology base and the vital financial base to build a new airliner. 可知亚洲合作者既可以获得低成本的生产基地,又可以获得高成本的科技,故选A.

(42)C,most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and (43)Cwhat we have with those less lucky than ourselves.But has the world changed?Maybe what was morally right in the old days,(44)B one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help,is no longer the best idea.Quite a few people will not give to beggars.Let us look at their (45)A.
First,some believe that many city beggars dress up(46)Bto look pitiable and actually make a good (47)Cfrom begging.Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil.(48)A,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer,wine or drugs.Thirdly,there is the opinion(49)Cthere is no real excuse for begging.One might be poor,but that is no reason for losing one's sense of (50)B and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government (51)Aordinary people.Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and (52)B help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion:there are various (53)Aand we must (54)C them differently.A few coins can save a life in some situations,and even if the money is wasted,that does not take away the moral goodness of the(55)A.
