题目内容

We have heard of counterfeiting before. Usually it refers to people making money by printing it instead of earning it. But counterfeiting also can involve all sorts of consumer goods and manufactured (制造) products. From well-known brand names such as Calvin Klein jeans to auto parts, counterfeiters have found ways to produce goods that look authentic. In some instances, counterfeit products look better than the original!

The demand of brand-name products has helped counterfeiting grow into a very profitable business throughout the world and into a serious problem for legal manufacturers and consumers alike. Faulty counterfeit parts have caused more than two dozen crashes. Most counterfeit auto parts do not meet federal (联邦的) safety standards.

Counterfeiting hurts manufacturers in many ways. Analysts estimate that, in the United States alone, annual revenue (收入) loss runs form $ 6 billion to $ 8 billion. Perhaps even worse, consumers blame the innocent manufacturers when they unknowingly buy a counterfeit product and find it doesn’t perform as expected. Sometimes entire economies can suffer. For instance, when farmers in Kenya and Zaire used counterfeit fertilizers, both countries lost most crops.

By copying other firm’s products, counterfeiters avoid research and development costs and most marketing costs. High-tech products such as computers and their software products are especially easy to attack. As long as counterfeiting is profitable, large quantities of products are available to copy, and the laws are difficult to enforce, counterfeiters can be expected to prosper for a long time.

1．The word “counterfeiting” most probably means ______.

A．making things of poor quality for profit

B．making things of good quality for profit

C．illegal making of things by copying

D．legal making of things by copying

2．The most appropriate title for the passage would be ______.

A．The Effects of Counterfeiting B．The Problem of Counterfeiting

C．The Cause of Counterfeiting D．The Profit of Counterfeiting

3．It can be inferred from the passage that hand-made products are “______.”

A．easier to counterfeit than high-tech products

B．more difficult to counterfeit than high-tech products

C．less profitable to counterfeit than high-tech products

D．more profitable to counterfeit than high-tech products

4．The quality of most counterfeit auto products is ______.

A．not up to the standards of America

B．up to the standards of America

C．so poor that few people want to buy the products

D．so good that most people prefer them to the authentic ones

Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.

Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.

Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far

more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.

It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.

66. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.

A. preparing a topic list first B. focusing on one’s own mind

C. directing the talk to the desired results D. experiencing the speaker’s inside world

67. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?

A. How to listen well. B. What to listen to.

C. Benefits of listening. D. Problems in listening

68. According to the author , in communication people tend to ________.

A. listen actively B. listen purposefully

C. set aside their prejudices D. open up their inner mind

69. According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______.

A. they were taken good care of. B. they knew they were truly listened to.

C. they had partners to talk to. D. they knew the roots of problems.

70. What type of writing the article likely to be ?

A. Science fiction B. A news report. C. A medical report. D. Popular science

It’s you and I who are to blame for the state of the earth. No question about it. It’s our life-style that is threatening life on Earth, so we must make the changes. The good news is that many of those changes are really quite simple, even enjoyable, but for every careful step we take as individuals, we must press government and industry to take a big step on our benefit. And we must start now. Tomorrow’s too late.

My aim this year is to persuade as many of my friends and colleagues as possible to choose the train, and leave their cars behind too. My gardens have been pesticide(杀虫剂)–free zones for years and I enjoy seeing more wildlife on my doorstep as a result; I’ve tried to reduce my contribution to water pollution too, by using environment-friendly, phosphate(磷)–free washing powder , and by no longer thinking of the toilet as a suitable waste-disposal(处理) point .

I ran after a young lady through town recently to give her back the piece of paper she had carelessly thrown away. She disappeared into a shop, and when I followed her inside and made my presentation, she was doubly embarrassed--she worked there, and the boss gave her a ticking–off too. I’ve started asking fellow drivers at gas stations why they aren’t using unleaded (无铅的) petrol . These are small things, but we have to start somewhere, and every little does help.

Nature responds to climate change. To understand it, we need to monitor key life cycle events－flowering, the appearance of leaves the first frog calls of the spring－all around the world. But scientists can’t be everywhere so they’re turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, for help.

A group of scientists and educators launched (发起) an organization last year called the National Phenology Network. “Phenology” is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.

One of the group’s first efforts depends on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing every year. The program, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on different kinds of common plants from across the United States.

“People don ’t have to be plant experts－they just have to look around and see what’s in their neighbourhood,”says Jennifer Schwartz, an adviser with the project, “As we collect this data, we’ll be able to predict how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”

That data will help scientists predict not only how natural communities may change but also how these changes will affect people.

Scientists monitoring lilac (丁香) flowering in the western United States reported that in years when lilacs bloomed early before May 20th－wildfires later in the summer and fall are larger and more severe. Lilac blooming could serve as an alarm bell, Jennifer says.

Improved monitoring is an important step toward predicting how natural communities will respond to climate change.

“The best way for us to increase our knowledge of how plants and animals are responding to climate change is to increase the amount of data we have,” he says. “That ’s why we need citizen scientists to get as much information from as many places on as many species over as long a time period as we can.”

A. grow more plants to improve the climate

B. collect information about common plants

C. made citizens tell different plants

D. find out how many kinds of plants there are in America

71. By saying “Lilac blooming could serve as an alarm bell”, Jennifer meant .

A. lilac flowers could made people feel anxious or afraid

B. lilacs could warn people of the danger of wildlife

C. the blooming of lilacs could predict the happening of wildfires

D. the flowers of lilacs could be used to wake people up
