Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of

building upwards, that is to say of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of fiats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding, as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.

We can infer from the passage that ______.

A．English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats

B．people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats

C．people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats

D．modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living

第2题

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of

them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, the Post and the Times are net national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or LeMonde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or cite news.

Like the press .in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.

Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. (80)A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.

As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.

There are fewer national newspapers in ______

A．Britain than in the USA

B．France than in Britain

C．the USA than in Britain or France

D．France than in the USA or Britain

第3题

A growing number of women are rising to the top—and beginning to change the culture of the

workplace.

This should be a season of celebration. After all, by many measures, there's never been a better time to be a woman. In places like Scandinavia and Britain, a third or more of all corporate managers are now women. The number of female executive directors of FISE 100 companies nearly doubled from 2000 to 2004. Latin America has seen a 50 percent jump in the number of women politicians in the last decade. Japan voted 26 new female parliamentarians into office this year. Of course, the jewel in the equal-opportunity crown was this fall's election of Angela Merkel—once nicknamed "the Girl" by Helmut Kohl—to Germany's highest office.

But as always, statistics tell a multifaceted story. Sure, it's no longer an anomaly to have a female CEO—but there are still only 17 female executive directors in the largest FTSE 100 companies. In the EU Parliament, only 23 out of 162 members are female. In Britain, studies show that women have never been more dissatisfied with the workplace. No wonder: the EU pay gap between men and women shrank only one point in the last couple of years, to 17.5 percent.

So where does all this leave us？ With some big challenges that require more female leadership to solve. At some major companies—including Shell and British Telecom—women are combating the old-boys' club atmosphere by starting their own networks, linking top female leaders with up-and-comers they can mentor. Labor flexibility is also on the agenda; in parts of Europe, top female legislators have fought to give employees with children or elderly parents the right to ask for adjustable hours. Perhaps most important, there is an increasingly vibrant debate around work-life balance. Study after study shows that it is a working woman's second full-time job—as caregiver—that makes it most difficult for her to stay on the career ladder. While extra benefits and longer maternity, leave can help, they aren't a complete solution.

Clearly, some out-of-the-box thinking is required. And that's where women come in. In countries like Cameroon, Bolivia and Malaysia, greater numbers of women in public office have resulted in less spending on the military and more on health, education and infrastructure. Norway's woman-heavy Parliament recently passed a law mandating that 40 percent of directors on corporate boards be women. And in Germany, the archetypal outsider—a woman who grew up on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain—will likely take the helm in a country with virtually no other women in top positions of power. No longer "the Girl" but poised to become the chancellor, Merkel is a symbol of how far women have come—and the work that remains to be done.

According to paragraph two, what is the most important issue of women's achievement in politics？

A．In Scandinavia and Britain, women account for more than 30% of corporate managers.

B．Between 2000 and 2004, women executive directors in FTSE firms almost doubled.

C．The election of Angela Merkel as one of the highest officials in Germany:

D．Japan has a new group of 26 women in the parliament.

Cabinet meetings outside London are rare and reluctant things. Harold Wilson held one in Brighton in 1966, but only because the Labour Party was already there for its annual conference. In 1921 David Lloyd George summoned the Liberals to Inverness because he didn't want to cut short his holiday. Gordon Brown's decision to hold his first cabinet meeting after the summer break in Birmingham, on September 8th, was born of a nobler desire to show the almost nine tenths of Britons who live outside London that they are not ignored. He will have to do better: constitutionally, they are more sidelined now than ever.

Many legislatures use their second chamber to strengthen the representation of sparsely populated areas (every American state, from Wyoming to California, gets two votes in the Senate, for example). Britain's House of Lords, most of whose members are appointed supposedly on merit, has the opposite bias. A survey by the New Local Government Network (NLGN), a think-tank, finds that London and two of its neighbouring regions are home to more peers than the rest of Britain combined; even Birmingham, the country's second-largest city, has just one.

Oddly, this distortion is partly thanks to reforms that were supposed to make the Lords more representative. By throwing out most of the hereditary peers in 1999, Labour paved the way for a second chamber that was less posh, less white and less male than before. But in booting out the landed gentry, it also ditched many of those who came from the provinces. The Duke of Northumberland (270th in the Sunday Times's " Rich List") may not be a member of a downtrodden minority. But Alnwick Castle, his family pile, is in the North-east region, home to just 2% of the Lords' members now. Geographically speaking, the duke and his fellow toffs were champions of diversity.

The government now wants to reintroduce some geographical fairness, but minus dukes. Long-incubated plans to reform. the Lords would see it converted during the next parliament into a body that is mainly or entirely elected. A white paper in July outlined various electoral systems, all based on regional or sub-regional constituencies.

Some would like to see the seat of government prised out of the capital altogether, though in the past this has normally required a civil war or a plague. Southerners whisper that no one would show up if Parliament were based in a backwater such as Manchester. But many don't now. The NLGN found that peers resident in Northern Ireland vote least often. But next from the bottom are the London-dwellers, who show up for less than a third of the votes on their doorstep. Even the eight who live abroad are more assiduous. The north may seem an awfully long way away, but apparently so is Westminster.

Why will Gordon Brown hold his first cabinet in Birmingham？

A．Labour Party will have its annual conference there.

B．To tell citizens outside London that they are not ignored.

C．He did not want to cut short his holidays.

D．Many British feel that they are more sidelined now than ever.

Almost two-thirds of overseas students studying in the UK have few or no British friends,

according to a survey among 5,000 overseas students, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported last week.

The survey was carried out by the British Council, the council for international education, and Universities UK, an organization supporting the work of all the country's universities.

The survey revealed only 7 percent of the students said most of their friends were from the UK; 32 percent said they had a mixture of UK and international student friends; and 59 percent said their only friends were international.

Some student leaders say one reason fox' the trend is that overseas students are dedicate to their courses instead of their social lives.

In addition, many foreign students weren't interested in the pub-centered drinking culture on British campuses, according to Will MacFarlane, student union general secretary of the London School of Economies. This prevented some students who didn't pay regular trips to pubs from making new friends.

Some students think that MacFarlane's explanation is true.

"I have only one year to adapt to the new all-English environment and dealing with a full study workload. The time is so limited that I have little time to make friends with foreign students." Said one Peking University grad student who is at Oxford University.

She also admitted that an important reason for the lack of interaction is that Chinese students are usually shy, and don't take the initiative to make new friends.

MacFarlane also came forward with some suggestions on how to improve the situation. "It may be helpful if we can provide a cultural shift in university activities away from the drinking culture, and provide more activities for more groups," he said.

The survey showed that ______.

A．the number of overseas students is reduced in recent years

B．overseas students are not willing to make friends with British students

C．no overseas students have time to go to pubs in spare time

D．most overseas students have few British friends

第9题

Not content with its doubtful claim to produce cheap food for our own population, the fact

or, farming industry also argues that" hungry nations are benefiting from advances made by the poultry(家禽) industry". In fact, rather than helping the fight against malnutrition(营养不良) in" hungry nations", the spread of factory farming has, inevitably aggravated the problem.

Large-scale intensive meat and poultry production is a waste of food resources. This is because more protein has to be fed to animals in the form. of vegetable matter than can ever be recovered in the form. of meat. Much of the food value is lost in the animal's process of digestion and cell replacement. Neither, in the case of chicken, can one eat feathers, blood, feet or head. In all, only about 44% of the live animal fits to be eaten as meat.

This means one has to feed approximately 9-l0 times as much food value to the animal than one can consume from the carcass. As a system for feeding the hungry, the effects can prove disastrous. At times of crisis, grain is the food of life.

Nevertheless, the huge increase in poultry production throughout Asia and Africa continues.

Normally British or US firms are involved. For instance, an American based multinational company has this year announced its involvement in projects in several African countries. Britain's largest suppliers chickens, Ross Breeders, are also involved in projects all over the world.

Because such trade is good for exports, Western governments encourage it. In 1979, a firm in Bangladesh called Phoenix Poultry received a grant to set up a unit of 6,000 chickens and 18,000 laying hens. This almost doubled the number of poultry kept in the country all at once.

But Bangladesh lacks capital, energy and food and has large numbers of unemployed. Such chicken-raising demands capital for building and machinery, extensive use of energy resources for automation, and involves feeding chickens with potential famine-relief protein food. At present, one of Bangladesh's main imports is food grains, because the country is unable to grow enough food to feed its population. On what then can they possibly feed the chicken？

In this passage the author argues that ______.

A．efficiency must be raised in the poultry industry

B．raising poultry can provide more protein than growing grain

C．factory farming will do more harm than good to developing countries

D．hungry nations may benefit from the development of the poultry industry
