　　Unemployment ‘Blessings’
　　Community Involvement
　　For Lisa Perez, the wakeup call was burned pork chops. An executive who previously hadn’t been particularly interested in home and health had become obsessed with homemaking during a stint of unemployment.
　　Ms. Perez, 35, resolved to become an active volunteer for the duration of her search. She gave her time to a health-care concern, a housing program and a political campaign.
　　The work bolstered her self-confidence. "Volunteering takes the focus off of you. One thing you have that’s still valuable is your time. And, of course, you learn that there are thousands of people with a life that’s much worse than yours," she says.
　　Volunteer assignments are also great ways to meet powerful and well-connected people. Over a six-month period, her volunteering evolved into working as a paid consultant and then as a full-time employee, a job she still holds today. In all, she was unemployed for eight months.
　　Continuing Education
　　Even as the economy improves, a jobless executive may face up to a year or more of unemployment. This is a lot of time, especially for hard-charging high-performers who are not used to having any free time.
　　When laid off from the position of executive in a steel company near Cleveland, Mr. Bellavance, single and virtually debt free, shifted his finances into survival mode. He cashed out his pension, sold his house, unloaded things he didn’t need at garage sales, and rented an apartment with a roommate. Then, he says, "I signed up for every benefit I could find."
　　But he wasn’t just waiting out the year. He spent the rest of his search updating his skills, including becoming certified in new database, project-management software and other related areas.
　　 "People should not feel guilty about accepting government aid," he says, "I saw this in a lot of people. They felt they were some kind of loser for taking benefits. My advice is: Get all you can. You’ve been paying for these programs in your entire career, and you may as well start to benefit from them."　　Family Matters
　　In addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some displaced careerists use their time off work to attend to family matters. Many executives rediscover their children or find time to help their parents.
　　Stanford Rappaport held three jobs in San Francisco, including high-tech and teaching positions. When he was laid off from the high-tech job last year, he knew it might be a long slog before he could get another post like it in the Bay Area.
　　Mr. Rappaport’s remaining job, a part-time faculty position with City College of San Francisco, didn’t pay enough to support him. After a couple of months of searching with no results, he decided to escape the Northern California jobs meltdown. "My plan," he says, "was to get out of an expensive living situation, and either seek work in another section of the U.S. or overseas, for those two years." Mr. Rappaport, who speaks five languages, had worked overseas before.
　　Before he found an assignment, his Arkansas-based mother was diagnosed with a serious chronic illness, and he was called into duty as a son. Mr. Rappaport was able to help his mother get her affairs in order not to interrupt his search by using a San Francisco mail drop and cell phone. "I continued to look for work in California while I was in Fayetteville, Ark., helping my mother through this crisis."
　　Mr. Rappaport’s stay in Arkansas lasted six months. "It’s amazing that at this stage I had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time with my mother and improve her life and get a lot of things done for her. Most people never have that opportunity. I’m very thankful that I had the chance. It was absolutely worth it," he says.
　　One of the unexpected benefits was the huge boost in confidence he gained from his role as caregiver. He’d been feeling depressed and defeated when he left California, but after returning, he felt renewed. He landed a job with a former employer after returning to San Francisco and remains a part-time faculty member.
　　Discovery and Exploration
　　Instead of spending time off lamenting your unemployed status, ask yourself: "Is there something I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t because of the demands of my job?"
　　Michael Ross, 42, a former IT administrator in El Cerrito, Calif., recently spent his 10 months of unemployment playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in scriptwriting and the movie business. "After 18 years at my former employer and how hard I had worked, I knew I had to recover, to get restored," he says, "I looked at this as an opportunity, rather than a penalty. This was very much about clearing space for me."
　　At the executive level, even a very efficient and successful job search may be quite lengthy. It makes sense to spend that time in an enriching and productive manner. These job seekers pursued service, continuing education and shoring up family bonds. How you’ll look back on a period of unemployment depends on what you do with it.
　　1. This passage mainly tells that being unemployed is actually lucky.
　　2. Lisa Perez found a new interest in homemaking during the period of unemployment.
　　3. Lisa Perez was always idle during the period of her unemployment.
　　3. Being a volunteer is helpful because volunteer assignments can provide you with chances to meet powerful and well-connected people.
　　4. After she got a new job, Lisa Perez regretted that she had done volunteering work.
　　5. Unemployment means a lot of time, especially for those hard-charging executives who are not used to having any free time.
　　6. Mr. Bellavance spent the rest of his search updating his skills such as computing.
　　7. When unemployed, in addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some careerists take the opportunity to be in charge of all the domestic affairs.
　　8. After staying with his sick mother as caregiver in Arkansas for six months, Mr. Rappaport unexpectedly gained

　　Section B
　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
　　Passage One
　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
　　It is 4 o’clock in the early morning.Everything but the computing room on the campus of the university appears as quiet and misty as the mysterious hell. In the computing room, 30 students crumpled with blurred eyes, sit still at their desk, thumping the dirty and worn keys. Staring at the colorful screen, they tap continuously for hours. For the other parts in the world, it might be in the midst of the night, nevertheless here time represents nothing. It is an utterly enclosed field. These young computer "hackers" are tracing a sort of stimulus; a drive so exciting and absorbing it downplays nearly anything else in their lives and founds as the focus their being. They are compelled computer programmers. Some of these students have been glued to the console for no less than twenty hours even with no break for meals or rest. Some have been sleeping on sofas and lounge chairs in the computing room, trying to struggle for a few moments’rest but hate to get too far away from their addicted machines.
　　It is no necessary for most of these students to be at the computing room in the middle of the night. What they are working belong to no assignments. They remain there because they desire to be-they can not resist the attraction of the computers.
　　Furthermore they are in groups instead of alone. There are hackers at computing rooms all over the country. In the unimaginable way, they focus on nothing but computer. They escape from schooling and live beyond friendship; they might have difficulty being employed, choosing to travel from one computing room to another. They may even abandon personal health.
　　 "There is one hacker in my memory. We actually had to lift him away from his chair to feed him and arrange him to rest and sleep. We truly worried about his health," says a computing science professor at California University.
　　Professors of computer science are nowadays shedding more light on this hacker phenomenon and are on the watch for latent hackers and more and more severe computer addictives. They are sober that hackers are not simply resulted from the close relationship with a machine. It is the result of social relationship with the attractive thinking machines, which are becoming nearly universal.
　　57. We can learn from the passage that those at the computing room in the middle of the night are 　　.
　　A) students working on a program
　　B) students using computers to amuse themselves
　　C) hard-working computer science majors
　　D) students deeply fascinated by the computer

　　C) They can stay with the computer at the centre for nearly two days on end.
　　D) Their "love" for the computer is so deep that they want to be near their machines even when they sleep.
　　59. It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that 　　.
　　A) the"hacker"phenomenon exists only at university computing rooms
　　B) university computing rooms are open to almost everyone
　　C) university computing rooms are expecting outstanding programmers out of the"hackers"
　　D) the"hacker"phenomenon is partly attributable to the deficiency of the computing rooms
　　60.The author’s attitude towards the "hacker" phenomenon can be described as 　　.
　　A) affirmative　　B) contemptuous C) anxious 　　D) disgusted
　　61. Which of the following may be the most appropriate title for the passage?
　　A) The Charm of Computer Science
　　B) A New Type of Electronic Toys
　　C) Compulsive Computer Programmers
　　D) Computer Addicts
　　Passage Two
　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
　　Very few commenters have a better point of that forbidding exchanging media called E-mail than John Moon, the CEO of E-mail management company Talk Labs. Moon examines a network that deals with 5.0 million letters everyday. The servers run and fixed by Talk Labs manage mail delivery and routing for many companies, including Security Company of England and Malshef Business.
　　As a matter of fact, all of Talk Labs’customers are madeup of companies whose daily E-mail outflow and inflow have substantially increased with the expansion of the Web. "E-mail usage has significantly risen recently," he says. Indeed, Talk Labs estimates that it has risen from 20 a day each employee as lately as three years ago to 30 or 40 at present.
　　The implications for Corporate America are equally huge. As E-mail researcher and consultant Jack Blour believes, companies can be in the expectation of the volume of E-mail rising through their servers to grow 70% to 90% in 2002. And as individual messages soar it is most likely that they contain memory-companies could finally pay 100% to 150% more simply this year on systems in the store and management of those messages. That’s the reason why tech consultancy Tadigul Group predicts demand for software manageing E-mail, such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, to grow from $2.6 billion in sales today to $4.4 billion by 2005.
　　Controlling pure junk will cost too much money. About 20% of the E-mail Talk Labs manages is uninvited, according to Moon-who further states that about 1.25% of all the E-mail his company cancels includes useless files.
　　It is estimated that handling spam（垃圾邮件） costs $8.6 billion throughout the world, according to a 2001 Japanese study. And some companies has been worried that the jam of pornographic spam may urge employees to sue on grounds of disturbance due to brought discomfort.
　　62.The first sentence of this passage "Very few commenters have a better point of that forbidding exchanging media called E-mail than John Moon..."most probably means 　　.
　　A) John Moon clearly know the E-mail is wasting resources
　　B) no one knows the fact that E-mail is gossip exchanging way but John Moon
　　C) John Moon does not know anything about the E-mail
　　D) the John Moon always concentrated on the ocean of the junk E-mail
　　63. Which of the following is NOT true about Talk Labs?
　　A) It is an E-mail management company.
　　B) All of Talk Labs’customers are corporations.
　　C) John Moon is the chief technology officer of Talk Labs.
　　D) The company puts the great emphasis on dealing with the junk E-mail.
　　64. The word "that" in the last sentence of the third paragraph most possibly means 　　.
　　A) it is expected that Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes grow from $2.6 billion in sales today to $4.4 billion by 2005
　　B) the junk E-mail has been overloaded in the Internet
　　C) the increase of individual messages needs more staff
　　D) the company has paid 100% to 150% for individual message storage
　　65.The following statements about the E-mail have been mentioned EXCEPT 　　.
　　A) Moon examines a network that processes 5.0 million letters each day
　　B) according to Jack Blour, companies can expect the volume of E-mail passing through their servers to grow not more than 50% in 2002
　　C) too much money has been spent in controlling the junk E-mail
　　D) some employees might take legal action in accordance with annoyance arising from exposure to some unpleasant resources.
　　66. What is the best title for the passage?
　　A) The E-mail Monster
　　B) Talk Labs Business Introduction
　　C) To Avoid E-mail Surge
　　D) E-mail Destroys Everything　　[5] 完形填空

　　How to Get Prepared for a Job
　　As a result of the population booming in the past, the competition in job markets is getting much fiercer. As college students who are to graduate in the future, we must prepare ourselves when still on campus in order to gain an upper hand.
　　There are several things we college students can do to sharpen our competitive edge. First, start preparing early. We all know that it is the early bird that catches the worm. It is too late to consider our future career upon graduation. Why not plan beforehand? Second, we should attach greater importance to our personalities such as honesty, cooperation and perseverance. They are more important than appearance in landing a job although it is advantageous to have a neat look. Third, we should make a close self-examination so as to know what our weaknesses and strengths are so that we can do something about them to improve ourselves. Lastly, we can take some preliminary training for the job we’d like to have. For example, if an English major wants to work as a certificated public accountant, he’d better acquaint himself with some financial knowledge while on campus.
　　In a word, opportunity will only favor those with a ready mind. Just figure out what we’d like to do in the future and act accordingly.
　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
　　本文从失业这个话题入手，分析了失业的利弊。并通过列举一些失业者的经历，论证失业并非就是完全令人沮丧的灾难。
　　1. N 大意题。文章述及数人失业后给各自生活带来了令人意想不到的好处，并未表明失业即福的观点。
　　2. Y 先找到Lisa Perez这个名字。Community Involvement标题下第一段 "...become obsessed with homemaking..." 即证明了该命题表述正确。
　　3. Y Community Involvement标题下的第四段提到 "...to meet powerful and wellconnected people." 所以该陈述是正确的。
　　4. N Community Involvement标题下的第三段，Perez 说"Volunteering takes the focus off of you. One thing you have that’s still valuable is your time. And, of course, you learn that there are thousands of people with a life that’s much worse than yours," 可见Perez并没有后悔做义务工作。
　　5. Y 标题Continuing Education下的第一段第二句话"This is a lot of time, especially for hard-charging high-performers who are not used to having any free time."表明了该陈述正确。
　　6. NG 先从文章中找到 Bellavance 这个名字，然后细读会发现文章并没有明确提及他提高自己的计算技能。
　　7. N 根据domestic affairs可基本确定此题信息出自标题Family matters中的内容，在第一段找到对应句"In addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some displaced careerists use their time off work to attend to family matters."，由此可以断定他们只是更多地参与到家庭事务中，绝非全权掌管家事，所以陈述不对。
　　8. a huge boost/increase in confidence 陈述中的人名就是关键信息词，内容属于标题Family matters中的事例，在最后一段第一句话提到"One of the unexpected benefits was the huge boost in confidence he gained from his role as caregiver."，所以Mr. Rappaport意外的收获就是信心大增。
　　9. scriptwriting and the movie business 同样根据人名锁定陈述对应的句子在标题Discovery and Exploration的第二段"Michael Ross...recently spent his 10 months of unemployment playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in scriptwriting and the movie business."，直接填空即可。
　　10. shoring up family bonds 本题为全文"unemployment ‘blessings’"的总结，自然应该在文章最后一段寻找相关内容，对应的句子是"These job seekers pursued service, continuing education and shoring up family bonds"，同样可以直接填空　 Part III Listening Comprehension

　　Q: What did the woman ask her son not to do?
　　15. W: This is Mrs. Jones. My heater is not getting any power and the temperature is going to get down below freezing. Could you come over and fix it?
　　M: This is our busiest time of the year, but I will speak to one of our men about getting over there sometime today.
　　Q: Who has Mrs. Jones called to come over?
　　16. M: Did you hear Eva’s presentation in the meeting last night?

　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　W: It sounds as though you’ve already made up your mind about what you are going to do.
　　Q: What is the man thinking about?
　　18. W: I’m getting absolutely nowhere with these physics problems.

　　W: Are you a student in the intensive English program? May I see your ID card? Um, yes, we can certainly help you. Where are you staying now?
　　M: I just arrived yesterday. I’m staying at the hotel across the street.
　　W: Okay, please complete this form. Will you be living alone or do you have a family with you? Or, would you be interested in sharing housing?
　　M: Yes, I have a wife and child. They aren’t here yet, but they’ll be coming as soon as I am settled in. My daughter is 4.
　　W: We have two choices available. This two-bedroom is two blocks from campus, but it doesn’t have central heat and air. There is a slot in the wall for a unit air conditioner if you want one. It’s $ 500 a month. Then, for $ 650 a month, there is this one. It’s in a modern apartment complex, about 10 minutes from the university by bicycle, but it’s closer to shopping, a movie theater, and other things. And the complex has a swimming pool and laundromat(自助洗衣店).
　　M: Could I see them both? I’m not sure which I would want at the moment. Sure I’d love to be closer to school, but my wife and daughter would probably like the benefits of the other one.
　　W: Sure. We can go right now if you would like.

　　M: Excuse me. My watch stopped running and I’m not sure what’s wrong with it.
　　W: Well, let me look at it.
　　M: OK. It’s a new watch. I’ve only had it for about a year.
　　W: Hmm. It seems that it just needs a new battery. They only last about a year, you know.
　　M: Oh, that’s a relief. I was hoping it wasn’t broken or something. In fact, last week I got some water on it and I was afraid that the water might have ruined it. How much is a new battery?
　　W: It’s six ninety-nine plus tax.
　　M: Oh dear, that seems like a lot. I thought my friend said she paid about three ninety-nine for a battery.
　　W: Well, she may have. But we’re a watch repair shop and we install your battery and then guarantee it for a year. If you have the watch cleaned here we guarantee it for an additional three months.
　　M: Well, I guess you get what you pay for. I’ll get my battery here. How long will it take to put it in?
　　W: Usually I can do it right away, but right now I’m way behind in my repair of a large shipment of watches. They all need to be fixed by this afternoon. Can you leave your watch here until about 5 P.M.?
　　M: Oh dear. I’m afraid I can’t. I need to get back and I have to work this evening. So I couldn’t pick it up by five. And I have to have it by tomorrow.
　　W: Well, then maybe I can just squeeze it in now. It’ll only take a few minutes. Can you wait?
　　M: OK. I’d really appreciate that. Sure, I’ll wait.
　　W: OK. Just sit down over there. I’ll have it fixed in a few minutes.

　　Passage One
　　A tiny village somewhere in Britain was badly affected by a cat. The cat was stuck in the middle of the road due to being over frightened by the speeding vehicles. A passionate truck driver stopped his truck beside the street in order to help the frightened cat. However, something out of imagination happened. His truck slipped down the road since it was not firmly locked. It crashed into four parked cars, crashed through a bush, ran alongside a river and damaged several blocks of houses. The cat bit the driver on the hand while he was carrying it, which resulted in an injury.
　　Here is another story about cats. A family cat rescued a nine-month old child by informing the parents who were then cooking in the house. The cat cried out loudly when it saw the baby struggling in the river beside the house. The parents said the cat would receive a good reward of a beautiful coat for its extraordinary deed.
　　Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　26. What happened to the cat that affected a village?
　　27. Who was hurt in the first story?
　　28. Where did the second story about cats occur?
　　29. What would the parents give to cat as a reward in the second story?
　 Passage Two
　　The professors of California University agreed in a seminar that, "automobiles have posed a great danger to human health". "Automobiles not only pollute the air and lead to traffic jams, but more importantly, they also make it unnecessary for people to walk, which resulted in an increasing rate of heart diseases,"said Dr. W.H. Peterson, professor of medical science. CNN reported that Dr. W.H. Peterson’s sharp criticism caused a hot debate on the campus of California University. "The debate opened a starting of human retrospection over their industrialized results. Humans had to consider the problem caused by themselves," Dr. Peterson said. "Humans restricted their concern to only the natural disasters and environmental strategies before."
　　Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　30. What is the theme of this passage?
　　31. What is the reason for the increase of heart diseases?
　　32. What do people then have to handle?
　　Passage Three
　　If you are like most people, then it is more likely that you are smarter in spring than in any other season.
　　Mr. Wilson, a famous scientist, discussed the influence of different climates on the human mind based on research drawn from many kinds of people. Eventually, he concluded that temperature and climate have significant effects on thinking. He decided that warm weather hinders people’s creative thinking, while cold weather facilitates. It does not mean that in summer people think less, however it does mean that people tend to be least creative in summer compared with other seasons. Spring seems to contribute most to people’s thinking. Fall follows, then winter. So it seems reasonable to get a lot of rest in summer.
　　Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　33. What is the main idea of the passage?
　　34. In which temperature do people have the best thinking?
　　35. Which statement is true of the heard passage?
　　Section C
　　Americans learn sports as part of their education. They learn two or more ball (36)games, such as football or basketball. At high school, they choose groups of boys or girls to make (37) teams. They choose those who are best at that sport. These teams (38) compete against teams from other schools. In many schools, students learn wrestling, running, tennis, golf and swimming. They have teams for some of these sports, too.
　　The games between schools are often very (39) exciting. Other students, the ones not on the team, love to watch them. They let everyone know this by shouting and (40) cheering, when their team plays well.
　　There is a special (41) club, of girls and boys, mostly girls, who jump up and down and shout for their football team. They call themselves (42) cheerleaders, because they lead everyone in shouts and cheers. They wear clothes of a (43) special color-the color of their school’s team. The football players wear that color, too. Each school has a team color and a team name. Cheerleaders call out the team name in their cheers. (44) They practice for many hours to learn the special jumping and cheering moves.Cheerleading is almost a sport itself. Every classroom has an American flag in it. (45)From elementary to high school, students start each day by standing up and showing respect to the flag.They put their hands over their hearts and say "the Pledge of Allegiance". (46) This is a promise to the country, which was written by people who came to the US over 200 years ago.By standing and showing respect to the flag ,people think about the United States and its freedoms　　Part IVReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

　　51. F 根据上下文意思，本段均说明全球变暖这一环境变化，所以此处应表达气候变化之意，F为正确选项。
　　52. L 该题较为简单，表示"全球的气温比上个世纪上升了1华氏"，应能迅速找出正确答案。
　　53. I 全球变暖的结果令人担心，常识告诉我们其后果之一就是冰川融化，所以ice 与melt 搭配并符合句意，I为正确选项。
　　54. K 与上题一样，此处也是全球变暖的后果之一（海岸受到侵蚀），此处应填入一个现在分词，因此应选K。
　　55. N 该题较为简单，应填入一个复数名词，所以填入changes项。

　　Passage One
　　57. D 细节理解题 文章的第二段提到"What they are working belong to no assignments. They remain there because they desire to be-they can not resist the attraction of the computers."表明这些学生是由于无法抗拒电脑的诱惑而非做作业才彻夜呆在电脑前的。可见是沉迷于电脑的学生。所以选D。
　　58. A 细节理解题根据第一题的信息，这些学生不是主修电脑编程的最好的学生,而仅仅是沉迷于电脑的"黑客"。而其余的选项在文章中均有体现。故答案为A。
　　59. B 推断题第三段提到"they might have difficulty being employed, choosing to travel from one computing room to another."既然这些学生可以自由选择一个又一个的电脑房，那就可以推断出大学的电脑房是对所有人开放的。
　　60. C 推断题第一段的最后两句话、第三段的最后一句话以及最后一段第一句话"Professors of computer science are nowadays shedding more light on this hacker phenomenon and are on the watch for latent hackers and more and more severe computer addictives."都表明了作者的焦急态度。

　　64. D 推断题代词that的指代对象应该从前一句中寻找。前一句指出"......为了存储和管理上述信息，这些公司仅今年一年就可能要在系统建设上增加100%到150%的费用。（...companies could finally pay 100% to 150% more simply this year on systems in the store and management of those messages.）"选项D（公司投入100%-150%的费用在个人信息储存上）与此内容相符，所以选D。
