Text 1
It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and a final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure was passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: "We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history."
The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief; others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start failing.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying deat from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of washow I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
41. From the second paragraph we learn that
IA] the objection to euthanasia is diminishing in some countries.
physicians and citizens have the same view on euthanasia.
[C] technological changes are chiefly responsible for the new law.
[D] it takes time. to appreciate the significance of laws passed.
42. By saying that "observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling", the author means that
[Al observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia.
[BI there is a possibility of similar bills being passed in the U.S. and Canada.
[C] observers are waiting to see the movement end up in failure.
[D] the process of the bill taking effect may finally come to a stop.
43. When Lloyd Nickson is close to death, he will
[Al undergo a "cooling off" period of seven days.
experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient.
[ C] have an intense fear of terrible suffering.
[D] face his death with the calm characteristic of euthanasia.
44. What is the author's attitude towards euthanasia?
[A] hostile
suspicious
[ C] approving
[D] indifferent
45. We can infer fn)m thc text that the success of the rigln I{~ ~lic
movement is
[A] only a manet of tune.
far from certain.
[C] just an illusion.
[D] a fading hope.

Text 2

Much of the language used to describe monetary policy, such as "steering the economy to a soft landing" or "a touch on the brakes", makes it sound like a precise science. Nothing could be further from the truth. The link between interest rates and inflation is uncertain. And there are long, variable lags before policy changes have any effect on the economy. Hence the analogy that likens the conduct of monetary policy to driving a car with a blackened windscreen, a cracked rear-view mirror and a faulty steering wheel.
Given all these disadvantages, central bankers seem to have had much to boast about of late. Average inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2. 3% last year, close to its lowest level in 30 years, before rising slightly to 2.5% this July. This is a long way below the double-digit rates which many countries experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s.
It is also less than most forecasters had predicted. In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America' s inflation rate would average 3.5 % in 1995. In fact, it fell to 2.6 % in August, and is expected to average only about 3 %for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year. This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.
Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's,have little productive slack. America's capacity utilisation, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment--the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.
Why has inflation proved so mild? The most thrilling explanation is, unfortunately, a little defective. Some economists argue that powerful structural changes in the world have up-ended the old economic models that were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.
46. According to the text, making monetary policy changes
[A] is comparable to driving a car.
[BI is similar to carrying out scientific work.
[C] will not influence the economy immediately.
[D] will have an immediate impact on the inflation rate.
47. From the text we learn that
[A] there is a clear relationship between inflation and interest rates.
the economy always follows particular trends.
[C] the current economic problems are entirely predictable.
[D] the present economic situation is better than expected.
48. The text suggests that
[A] the previous economic models are still applicable.
an extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation.
[C] a high unemployment rate will result from inflation.
[D] interest rates have an immediate effect on the economy.
49. By saying "This is no flash in the pan" (paragraph 3, line 7), the author implies that
IAI the Iow inflation rate will continue.
the inflation rate will rise again.
[C] inflation will disappear entirely.
[D] there is no inflation at present.
50. How does the author feel about the present situation?
[A] tolerant
indifferent
[C] disappointed
[D] surprised

In the first year or so of Web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market. More recently, as the Web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such business-to-business sales make sense because businesspeople typically know what product they' re looking for.
Nonetheless, many companies still hesitate to use the Web because of doubts about its reliability. "Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the supplier,' says senior analyst Blane Erwin of Forrester Research. Some companies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the company's private intranet.
Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing. Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to "pull" customers into sites. In the past year, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to "push" information directly out to consumers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers. Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers' computer monitors. Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company's Web site. Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product offerings, or other events.
But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen ,uinvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That's a prospect that horrifies Net purists.
But it is hardly inevitable that companies on tin, Web, will need to resort to push strategies to make money. The examples of Virtual Vineyards, Amazon. com, and other pioneers show that a Web site selling the right kind of products with the right mix of interactivity .hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon. People looking 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.
51. We learn from the beginning of the text that Web business
[A] has been striving to expand its market.
intended to follow a fanciful fashion.
[C] tried but in vain to control the market.
[D] has been booming for one year or so.
52. Speaking of the online technology available for marketing, the author implies that
[AI the technology is popular with many Web users.
businesses have faith in the reliability of online transactions.
[C] there is a radical change in strategy.
[D] it is accessible limitedly to established partners.
53. In the view of Net purists,
[A] there should be no marketing messages in online culture.
money making should be given priority to on the Web.
[C] the Web should be able to function as the television set.
[D] there should be no online commercial information without requests.
54. We learn from the last paragraph that
[A] pushing information on the Web is essential to Internet commerce.
interactivity, hospitality and security are important to online customers.
[C] leading companies began to take the online plunge decades ago.
[D] setting up shops in silicon is independent of the cost of computing power.
55. The purpose of the author in writing the text is to
[A]urge active participation in online business.
elaborate on various marketing strategies.
[C] compare web business with traditional commerce.
[D] illustrate the transition from the pull to push strategy.

Text 4
In the last half of the nineteenth century "capital" and "labour" were enlarging and perfecting their rival organisations on modern lines. Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic founders. It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for the benefit of shareholders, were very unlike old family business. At the same time the great municipalities went into business to supply lighting, trams and other services to the taxpayers.
The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the number sand importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners;, and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. All through the nineteenth century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital, and British shareholders were thus enriched by the world's movement towards industrialisation. Towns like Bournemouth and Eastbourne sprangup to house large "comfortable" classes who had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholders' meeting to dictate their orders to the management. On the other hand "shareholding" meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the later Victorians for the highest purpose of a great civilisation.
The "shareholders" as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company inwhich he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labour was not good. The paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relation with the men and their demands, but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business now passing away. Indeed the mere size of operations and the numbers of workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organisation of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies who employed them. The cruel discipline of the strike and lockout taught the two parties to respect each other's strength and understand the value of fair negotiation.
56. The author says that 01d family firms
[A] were ruined by the younger generations.
failed for lack of individual initiative.
[C] lacked efficiency compared with modern companies.
[D] were able to supply adequate services to taxpayers.
57. The growth of limited liability companies resulted in
[A] the separation of capital from management.
the ownership of capital by managers.
[C] the emergence of capital and labour as two classes.
[D] the participation of shareholders in land ownership.
58. The text indicates that
[A] some countries developed quickly because of their limited liability companies.
the tide of industralisation benefited British shareholders greatly.
IC] shareholders contributed a lot to the fast growth of the British economy.
ID] the system of shareholding impaired the management of
modern companies.
59. We learn from the text that
[ A] shareholders often cast negative influence on the well-being of workers.
owners of traditional firm enjoyed a good relationship with their employees.
IC] limited liability companies were too large to run smoothly.
[D] trade unions had a positive role between workers and the management.
60. The author appears to be very critical of
IA] family firm owners.
[ B] shareholders.
[C] managers.
[ D] landowners.

Directions:

In less than 30 years' time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links between the brain's nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments, allowing virtual vacations like those in the fihn Total Recall.
61) There will be television chat shows hosted by robots , and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend. 62) Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chin computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell- television, and digital age will have arrived.
According to BT's futurologist, Ian Pearson, these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium (a period of 1 000 years), when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.
63) Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040.
Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer-human links. "By linking directly to our nervous system, computers could pick up what we feel and, hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck," he says. 64) But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine integration: "h will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.
Through his research, Pearson is able to pul dales to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there ;u'e still no forecasts for when faster-than-light travel will be available, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood Surveillance cameras will, for example, cause problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the dr(fids. 65) And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder--kitchen rage.

W: Hello. It's been another warm and fine day for most of us. Temperatures in south-east England reached twenty-six degrees Centigrade by nfid-afternoon, and Brighton had fifteen hours of lovely sunshine. But already the weather is beginning to change, I'm afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from the Atlantic to reach south-west England by early morning.
The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with minimum temperature no lower than fifteen degrees in the south, a little cooler--eleven degrees or so--in the north. Any remaining showers in northwest Scotland will pass quickly, to leave a mild, dry night there too.
And now, let's move on to the weather forecast for Friday and the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather, and if your holiday starts this weekend, then southern Spain is the place to go, with temperatures of thirty-four degrees along the Mediterranean coast. At the eastern end of the Med, too, you can expect uninterrupted sunshine and temperatures of up to thirty-two degrees Centigrade in Greece and south-east Italy, but further north the weather's not so settled. Much of France, Belgium and the Netherlands will be cloudy with occasional rain and maximum temperatures will be around twenty-two degrees--very disap pointing for this time of the year. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool seventeen degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out temperatures could rise to a maximum of twenty-three degrees... [ fade out ]

M: Emily Dickinson is one of the greatest American poets. She was born in a typical New England village in Massachusetts on De comber 10, 1830. She was the second child of the family. She died in the same house fifty-six years later. During her life time she never left her native land. She left her home state only once. She left her village very few times. And after 1872 she rarely left her house and yard. In the last years of her life she retreated to a smaller and smaller circle of family and friends. In those later years she dressed in white, avoided strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who attended her illness was allowed to "examine" her in another room, seeing her walk by an opened door. She was thought of as a "strange" figure in her home village. When she died on May 15, 1886, she was unknown to the rest of the world. Only seven of her poems had appeared in print. But to think Emily Dickinson only as a strange figure is a serious mistake. She lived simply and deliberately. She faced the essential facts of life. According to Henry James, a famous American novelist, she was one of those on whom nothing was lost. Only by thus living could Dickinson manage both to fulfill her obligations as a daughter, a sister, and a housekeeper and to write on the average one poem a day. She read only a few books but knew them deeply. Her poems are simple but remarkably rich. Not until 1950s was she recognized as one of the greatest American poets.

W: Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International. I'm Susan Welch. Today, we are going to hear several current hits of the world's most popular artists.
Well, first, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program.
Since many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but we also have a vast library of "golden oldie'' classics, as well as the "latest releases".
For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music--there's The History of Pop or The Road to Music.
These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists.
If you want to hear from the artists themselves, there's a new series called About the Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They talk to us about the meaning and ideas behind their songs.
If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, Pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs -- so, if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised if the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago... [fade out]

[Knocks on the door]
M: Oh, hello, Li Ming. Come on in, and how've you been keeping recently?
W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How's your project going?
M: Very smoothly, I should say. I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I've only been here in China a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Do sit down, please.
W: Dr. Francis, 'do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August? I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Erin, in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well… yes, I' m sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Li Ming?
W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there?
M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade, on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer around 25, I would guess, because it's down south.
W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here? Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay?
M: Oh, that's important. You can, er, . .. I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.
W: Yes, it would.
M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separated from ordinary society. You' re a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.
W: Yes, yes, exactly, so what' s the alternative?
M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot by staying with a British family.
W: Thank you, I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could . . . ? [fade out]
