Packing labels identify individual packages by means of a four-symbolidentification code running left to right. The symbols used are the fourdigits 1, 2, 3, and 4 and the four letters W, X, Y, and Z. Each code consists of two digits and two letters. The two digits must be next to each other, and the two letters must be next to each other. Of the two digits, the one to the left must be less than the one to the right. The two letters must be different letters.Which of the following could be the third symbol in a code in which the fourthsymbol is 3?WXZ14————————————————————————答案：(D)Which of the following must be true of any code in which the letter W occurs?The letter X also occurs in that code.The letter Y also occurs in that code.The letter Z also occurs in that code.The letter W occurs in that code exactly once.The letter W occurs in that code exactly twice.————————————————————————答案：(D)If the first symbol in a code is2, any one of the following symbols couldoccurs in one of the remaining three positions EXCEPT thedigit 1digit 3digit 4letter Yletter Z————————————————————————答案：(A)Bats emit sounds and generally use the echoes of these sounds highlyefficiently to detect, locate, and catch their prey. However, it is claimedthat the characteristic efficiency of this process is reduced by moths able tohear the sounds emitted by insect-eating bats. Which of the following statements, if true, best supports the claim above?Those moths that cannot hear the sounds emitted by insect-eating bats live longer on the average than those that can hear such sounds when both kinds of moth are in an environment continuously free of such bats.Those moth species that cannot hear the sounds emitted by insect-eating bats are among the species of insects that are most likely to be caught by such bats.When a moth changes its speed or direction of flight, there is a change in the sound pattern generated by the moth's wing movements.Moth species that can hear the sounds emitted by insect-eating bats are less likely to be caught by such bats than are moth species that cannot hear these sounds.Moths that are capable of hearing the sounds emitted by insect-eating bats differ in their abilities to use evasive action to escape capture by such bats.————————————————————————答案：(D)问题：下面哪一个陈述，if true，最支持上面的论述？读题：蝙蝠发出声音并利用声音的回声来高效地探测、定位和捕获被捕食者。 然而据宣 称：这个过程的特有效率被能够听到声音(蝙蝠发出的)的飞蛾降低了。分析：上面的
宣称显然就是由it is claimed引导，对这种题目中不存在因果关系的claim，只要进行直接支持，找一个选项达到这种效果，听到声音的蝙蝠的确不容易被抓住。 A. 在没有吃昆虫的蝙蝠环境中，不能够听到蝙蝠发出声音的飞蛾活得长比能够听到声音的飞蛾活的长（原文讨论的是有蝙蝠的环境下）B. 不能够听到声音的飞蛾是昆虫种类中最可能被蝙蝠捕获的 (不能够听到声音的飞蛾最可能被蝙蝠捕获，但是能够听到声音的飞蛾到底怎么样，你 是不知道的)C. 当一只飞蛾改变其飞行速度和方向时，其翅膀运动产生的声音模式也改变D. 能够听到声音的飞蛾比不能够听到声音的飞蛾更有可能不被捕获 （用了一个比较，直接说这种效率被降低了）E. 能够听到声音的蛾子在逃避被蝙蝠捕获的能力上不同。Mass transit authorities in large cities are struggling with deficits. Riders complainabout delays and breakdowns, cuts in service, and fares higher than they areaccustomed to paying. For all these reasons and because the price of gasolineis still not prohibitive, the number of passengers using public transportation hasfallen, adding to the deficits. Which of the following statements about the relationship between the number ofriders using public transportation and the price of gasoline is best supportedby the passage above?As the price of gasoline rises, the number of riders using public transportation rises.Even if the price of gasoline rises, the number of riders using public transportation will continue to decline.If the price of gasoline rises to a prohibitive level, the number of riders using public transportation will rise.The majority of riders using public transportation do not use gasoline; hence, fluctuations in gasoline prices are unlikely to affect the number of riders using public transportation.The price of gasoline is always low enough to make private transportation cheaper than public transportation; hence, fluctuations in gasoline prices are unlikely to affect the number of riders using public transportation.————————————————————————答案：(C)问题：下面哪一个关于使用公共交通乘客的数目和汽油价格的关系最容易被上文支持？（显然读题时需要注意the price of gasoline and the number of passengers）读题：大城市中的公共运输机构正在与赤字作斗争。乘客抱怨交通延迟和瘫痪，服务减少、费用增加。所有的这些原因以及因为汽油的价格仍然不是高的吓人，导致公共交通的乘客下降，增加了赤字。 分析：第四行For all these reasons and because引导原因：所有的这些原因以及因 为汽油的价格仍然不是高的吓人 紧接着后面
就是结论：导致公共交通的乘客下降 这也就是汽油价格和公共交通乘客数目之间的关系。注意问题是从上到下，因此题目中的论述都是在已经成立的情况下作出的。上面的因果关系也已经成立，公共交通乘客下降的原因就是汽油价格不是高的吓人以及上面的其他原因。 A. 汽油价格上升，乘客数目增加 (注意原文中是汽油价格不是高的吓人，是一个状态量，而价格上升，涉及的是一个过 程量，因此无法被上文支持。)B. 即使汽油价格上升，乘客数目仍然下降 (和A一样的错误)C. 如果汽油价格上升到贵的惊人的地步，乘客数目增加 (逆否命题就是乘客数目下降得到汽油价格不是贵的惊人，与上面论述中的因果关系刚 好相同) D. 大多数使用公共交通的乘客不使用汽油,因此，汽油价格的浮动不可能影响使用公共交 通乘客的数目E.汽油的价格足够低，使得私人运输比公共运输便宜；因此，汽油价格的浮动不可能影响使用公共交通乘客的数目The popular notion that teachers are generally apathetic about microcomputertechnology is false, or at least dated: a recently published survey indicatesthat 86 percent of the 5,000 teachers who responded to survey questionnairesexpressed a high level of interest in microcomputers. Which of the following, if true, would be most damaging to the argument above?No attempt was made in the survey to determine whether the teachers who received questionnaires had any previous experience with microcomputers.Teachers who are interested in microcomputer technology were more likely than others to complete and return their questionnaires.Questionnaires were sent to teachers without regard to their areas of subject- matter expertise or teaching experience.There have been several important developments in the classroom applications of microcomputer technology since the survey results were tabulated.The survey was conducted as part of a marketing study by a company that manufactures and sells microcomputers.————————————————————————答案：(B)问题：下面哪一个，if true，最反对上面的论述？读题：认为教师通常对微电脑技术缺乏兴趣的想法是错误的，或者至少是过时的：最近 公布的调查表明，5000名对调查表作出反映的教师中，86%表达了对微电子技术的 高度兴趣。 分析：第一句话是结论：教师通常对微电脑技术缺乏兴趣的想法是错误的 论据是一个调查：5000名有反映的教师中，86%表达了高度兴趣。从论据5000名老师得出结论中的generally的老师，显然是从局部数据得到一个结果，要想成立必须基于一个假设，这5000
名老师是有代表性的，而让我们反对的话，只要指出他们的特殊性就可以了。 A. 调查中没有做出任何努力来决定接受问卷的老师以前是否有微电脑技术的经历 (表明他们没有特殊性，因此为SUPPORT)B. 对微电脑技术感兴趣的老师比其它人更有可能完成并交回问卷 (表明这5000名老师是有特殊性的) C. 问卷散发给老师时，没有考虑他们所从事的专门技术领域和教学经历 (说明这5000名老师不特殊，可以作为SUPPORT) D. 自从调查结果被制成表格以后，在微电脑技术的教室应用中有几个重要的发展E. 调查是由一家生产和销售微电脑的公司作为市场调查的一部分来进行的 Four women—G, H, I, and J—and four men—R, S, T, and U—are the eight peopleto be seated at a rectangular table.

When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be __47__ wasteful to tear them all down and __48__ them with greener versions. An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the __49__ carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest __50__, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U.

"You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.
With some __52__, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that __53__ over time and let in more outside air.
Fortunately, there are a __54__ number of changes that can green older homes, from __55__ ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help __56__ property owners from rising power costs.

A Leap（跳跃）to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam（平衡木） is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive. she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom that even though she couldn’t see mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees to beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10--her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the
judges don’t know about her vision . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her attitude.
Lola never thinks about . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids she grew up.
Lola is of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her for others is “just believe yourself”. 36. A. runs 37. A. since 38. A. tell

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to take part in an important sports game. I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.
Two men were left(留了下来), an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old but you’re still young. You take the last parachute.” the young mountain climber smiled, “Don’t worry, “he said, “we can both jump to safety because there are still two parachutes. Just now the clever person jumped out with my backpack.”
1． All the people became worried because________.
A. they couldn’t find the parachutes
B. they were afraid the plane would be broken and knew there were not enough parachutes for each person.
C. There was too much smoke and they couldn’t jump out from the plane.
D. They saw the pilot jump out first
2． The clever man jumped out with________.
A. one parachute B. nothing
D. two parachutes C. the climber’s pack
3． All the people thought of themselves except(除了……以外)_________.
A. the pilot
C. the doctor B. the clever man D. the businessman
4． From this story, we know________ would die.
A. the clever man
C. the pilot B. the businessman D. a young mountain climber

Misleading News
Nowadays, a large amount of misleading news appears in the media circle, which calls for people’s attention. An increasing number of reporters write untrue stories about famous stars or hot events.
It is mainly due to the wrong notion of some journalists that we encounter more and more misleading news. Firstly, some journalists devote themselves to making up some misleading news to make name for themselves or become more popular in the media circle. In order to make their dreams come true, they coin more and more misleading news neglecting their morality of profession. Secondly, some of the audience are very interested in misleading news, which to some extent leads to the existence of misleading news. In addition, they wrongly believe that in the competitive media circle, no media can survive without the sensational stories catering to readers’ taste and curiosity.
In my view, the media circle should take the responsibility of offering true information. Thus, all the journalists should abide by their professional morals and produce true news to the public. On the other hand, the readers should try to resist the misleading news. In this way, we can enjoy our life by reading true news.

Energy Crisis
When asked about one of the biggest problems we are facing today, many people may say that an energy crisis is approaching and is threatening mankind’s survival. They are afraid that the world is likely to run out of oil and metals and to run short of food in the near future.
To this problem, most countries respond with the demand for more rigid conservation of our natural resources. Indeed, this is urgently needed, for the present waste of energy in industrial and personal consumption is so serious that it has become habitual and traditional. If the natural resources are used economically, we can certainly slow down the present drain on the limited energy supply. However, conservation alone is not the answer. It is obvious that even if we can save much energy, we can only delay the energy crisis, but cannot solve the problem completely. However abundant certain natural resources may be, they cannot reproduce themselves and are bound to be used up ultimately. So in the long run, we must develop new sources of energy instead of merely conserving the known, limited supplies.
Man is highly adaptable and creative. Therefore, in my opinion, since man is able to tap such resources as oil and metal, he should also develop and harness solar energy, nuclear energy and other unknown energy resources so that we can live in a world without energy crisis.
（3）
My View on the Income Gap
Nowadays the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately-owned firms, joint ventures, or foreign-owned companies, an executive’s annual income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker’s.
Confronted with this situation, people will undoubtedly hold different options. Some maintain that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap, which means that the gap inspires one’s desire and gives one an impetus to advancement. Others speak of its side effect. Income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our country’s socialist principle.
In my view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well. The income gap that is too wide for most people to bear neither benefits the stability of our country nor promotes our economic development. Thus, while we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wider one.

British Cuisine: the Best of Old and New
British cuisine (烹饪) has come of age in recent years as chefs (厨师) combine the best of old and new.
Why does British food have a reputation for being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the most encouraging words to hear just before eating lunch at one of Hong Kong's smartest British restaurants, Alfie's by KEE, but head chef Neil Tomes has more to say.
"The past 15 years or so have been a noticeable period of improvement for food in England," the English chef says, citing the trend in British cuisine for better ingredients, preparation and cooking methods, and more appealing presentation. Chefs such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realise that cooking - and eating - didn't have to be a boring thing. And now, most of the British public is familiar even with the extremes of Heston BlumenthaPs molecular gastronomy, a form of cooking that employs scientific methods to create the perfect dish.
"It's no longer the case that the common man in England is embarrassed to show he knows about food," Tomes says.
There was plenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation's cuisine can be traced back to the Second World War. Before the War, much of Britain's food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations (配给).
"As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology picked up and was used to mass-produce food," Tomes says. "And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of food in their kitchens."
They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.
Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that was open after 9pm. But in recent years the capital's culinary (烹饪的) scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to please the tastes of any international visitor.
With the opening of Alfie's in April, and others such as The Pawn, two years ago, modern British food has made its way to Hong Kong. "With British food, I think that Hong Kong restaurants are keeping up," says David Tamlyn, the Welsh executive chef at The Pawn in Wan Chai. "Hong Kong diners are extremely responsive to new ideas or presentations, which is good news for new dishes."
Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong are embracing the modern British trend. Some restaurants are modifying the recipes (菜谱) of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while others are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditions and tastes.
Tamlyn is in the second camp. "We select our food very particularly. We use US beef, New Zealand lamb and for our custards (牛奶蛋糊) we use Bird's Custard Powder," Tamlyn says. "Some restaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but British custard is different, and we stay true to that."
Matthew Hill, senior manager at the two-year-old SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also uses better ingredients as a means of improving dishes. "There are a lot of existing perceptions about British food and so we can't alter these too much. We're a traditional British restaurant so there are some staples (主菜) that will remain essentially unchanged."
These traditional dishes include fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted meats. At Alfie's, the newest of the British restaurants in town and perhaps the most gentlemen's club-like in design, Neil Tomes explains his passion for provenance (原产地). "Britain has started to become really proud of the food it's producing. It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-quality meats."
However, the British don't have a history of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult for restaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients.
"We can get a lot of our ingredients once a week from the UK," Tamlyn explains. "But there is also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we take our vegetables from the local markets, and there are a lot that work well with British staples."
The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers the widest interpretation of "British cuisine", while still trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in various locations in Hong Kong since 2002. Singaporean head chef Tommy Teh Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisine depending on what is available in the local markets.
"We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn't perhaps associate as British, but are presented in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongside ratatouille, is a very popular dish."
Although the ingredients may not strike diners as being traditional, they can be found in dishes across Britain.
Even the traditional chefs are aware of the need to adapt to local tastes and customs, while maintaining the Britishness of their cuisine.
At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share their meals. Small dishes, shared meals and "mixing it up" is not something commonly done in Britain, but Yorkshire Pudding will bring full dishes to the table and offer individual plates for each diner. "That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as they were designed, but can carve them up however they like," Hill says.
This practice is also popular at The Pawn, although largely for rotisseries (烤肉馆), Tamlyn says. "Some tables will arrive on a Sunday, order a whole chicken and a shoulder of lamb or a baby pig, and just stay for hours enjoying everything we bring out for them."
Some British traditions are too sacred (神圣的) to mess with, however, Tomes says. "I'd never change a full English breakfast." 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

“It's __53__ a myth that older people need less sleep. The more healthy an older adult is, the more they sleep like they did when they were __54__.

Section B
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.
Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.
In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.
According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.
An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.
"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."
2
The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.
The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems.
But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.
Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was "a methodological embarrassment" because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, "will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的)."
However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.
In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.

A) Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.
B) Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
C) Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.
D) Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.

A) It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.
B) It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.
C) It was warmly received by environmentalists.
D) It caused a big stir in developing countries.
64. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?
A) Its statistics look embarrassing. C) It deserves our closest attention.
B) It is invalid in terms of methodology. D) Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.
65. What is Soren Andreasen's view of the report?
A) Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.
B) It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.
C) It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.
D) Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.
66. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?
3

ndirectly create a more hostile socialenvironment, a study released on Sunday by a U.S. psychologyassociation found. The Washington D.C.based American PsychologicalAssociation (APA) released the study, resulting from fiveexperiments involving over 500 college students, in the May issue ofthe Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.The violent songs increased feelings of hostility withoutprovocation or threat, according to the study. It said the effectwas not the result of differences in musical style, specificperforming artist or arousal properties of the songs. Even thehumorous violent songs increased aggressive thoughts, the studysaid.The group said the study contradicts a popular notion thatlistening to angry, violent music actually serves as a positivecatharsis for people.The music industry came under criticism from lawmakers in Octoberfor failing to use more descriptive parental advisory labels thatspecify whether the music contains sex, violence or strong language.But the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has saidthat current CD labels give parents enough information withoutviolating the right to free expression. The RIAA is the trade groupfor the world’s five big labels, including AOL Time Warner Inc., EMIGroup Plc., Bertelsmann AG, Vivendi Universal’s Universal Music andSony Corp.Results of the APA’s experiments showed that violent songs led tomore aggressive interpretations of ambiguously aggressive words andincreased the relative speed with which people read aggressiveversus non-aggressive words. “Such aggression-biased interpretationscan, in turn, instigate a more aggressive response, verbal orphysical, than would have been emitted in a nonbiased state, thusprovoking an aggressive escalatory spiral of antisocial exchanges,”said researcher Craig Anderson, in a statement.While researchers said repeated exposure to violent lyrics couldindirectly create a more hostile social environment, they said itwas possible the effects of violent songs may last only a fairlyshort time.21. According to the study by APA, intensified aggression hadnothing to do with .A. actual performers of music B. a more hostile environmentC. feelings of hostility D. violent humors of the songs22. The word “catharsis” in Para. 3 most probably means .A. an unpopular notion B. the removal of strong feelingsC. an increase of aggressive emotions D. the overreaction toviolent lyrics23. Which of the following statements is true?A. The researchers’ work was unpopular because of its biasedconclusions.B. The music industry was accused of unclear specification of thenature of the songs.C. The current CD labels failed to specify whether the music isappropriate for youth.D. The music industry would have to yield to the pressure from thepoliticians.24. Craig Anderson would probably agree that .A. the relation bet
ween violent music and aggressive thoughts wasambiguousB. more experiments were needed to justify the results achieved sofarC. antisocial exchanges could be ultimately attributed to violentsongsD. nonbiased interpretations might cause more aggressive socialresponses25. It can be concluded from the passage that .A. some musical styles would lead to a short period of increasedsocial hostilityB. researchers were divided about the fundamental causes ofaggressive emotionsC. parents neednt worry a lot about their kids occasionalexposure to violent songsD. music industry would have to be more alert to violent words inits musicText 2The biggest danger facing the global airline industry is not theeffects of terrorism, war, SARS and economic downturn. It is thatthese blows, which have helped ground three national flag carriersand force two American airlines into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, willdivert attention from the inherent weaknesses of aviation, whichthey have exacerbated. As in the crisis that attended the first GulfWar, many airlines hope that traffic will soon bounce back, and afew catastrophic years will be followed by fuller planes, happierpassengers and a return to profitability. Yet the industry’sproblems are deeper—and older—than the trauma of the past two yearsimplies.As the centenary of the first powered flight approaches inDecember, the industry it launched is still remarkably primitive.The car industry, created not long after the Wright Brothers madehistory, is now a global industry dominated by a dozen firms, atleast half of which make good profits. Yet commercial aviationconsists of 267 international carriers and another 500plus domesticones. The world’s biggest carrier, American Airlines, has barely 7%of the global market, whereas the world’s biggest carmaker, GeneralMotors, has (with its associated firms) about a quarter of theworld’s automobile market.Aviation has been incompletely deregulated, and in only twomarkets: America and Europe. Everywhere else deals betweengovernments dictate who flies under what rules. These aim topreserve stateowned national flagcarriers, run for prestige ratherthan profit. And numerous restrictions on foreign ownership impedecrossborder airline mergers.In America, the big network carriers face barriers to exit, whichhave kept their route networks too large. Trade unions resisting jobcuts and Congressmen opposing route closures in their territoryconspire to block change. In Europe, liberalization is limited bybilateral deals that prevent, for instance, British Airways (BA)flying to America from Frankfurt or Paris, or Lufthansa offeringtransatlantic flights from London’s Heathrow. To use the carindustry analogy, it is as if only Renaults were allowed to drive onFrench motorways.In airlines, the optimists are those who think that things are nowso bad that the indus
try has no option but to evolve. FrederickReid, president of Delta Air Lines, said earlier this year thatevents since the September 11th attacks are the equivalent of ameteor strike, changing the climate, creating a sort of nuclearwinter and leading to a “compressed evolutionary cycle”. So how,looking on the bright side, might the industry look after five yearsof accelerated development?26. According to the author, the deeper problems of aviationindustry .A. are the effects of various disastersB. are actually not fully recognizedC. are attracting a lot of attentionD. are not the real cause of airlines’ bankruptcy27. One of the facts that reflect the primitiveness of airlineindustry is .A. its history is much longer than that of car industryB. it is composed of international and domestic carriersC. its market is divided by many a relatively small carrierD. it is still an industry of comparatively low profits28. What does the author mean by “Aviation has been incompletelyderegulated, ”(Para.3)?A. Governmental restrictions are still imposed on aviationindustry in many areas.B. Governments help establish rules for aviation industry only inAmerica and Europe.C. Some countries hope to help their national carriers keep uptheir national prestige.D. Many countries discourage merger plans between foreign anddomestic carriers.29. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. free competition may help solve the problems confrontingaviation industryB. problems in America are more of a political nature than that inEuropeC. car industry should exert a more powerful influence on aviationindustryD. there is still a long way to go before the problems can besolved30. According to Fredrick Reid, the aviation industry .A. is facing a very serious situationB. will confront a difficult evolutionC. has no way out of the present difficultyD. will experience a radical reform

OS functions can be classified into
Resource allocation and related functions
User interface functions.
The resource allocation function implements resource sharing by the users of a computer system. Basically, it performs binding of a set of resources with a requesting program, that is, it associates resources with a program. The related functions implement protection of users sharing a set of resources against mutual interference.
The user interface function facilitates creation and use of appropriate computational structures by a user. This function typically involves the use of a command language or a menu.
The resource allocation function allocates resources for use by a user's computation. Resources can be divided into system provided resources like CPUs, memory areas and IO devices, or user-created resources like files which are entrusted to the OS.
Resource allocation criteria depend on whether a resource is a system resource or a user-created resource. Allocation of system resources is driven by considerations of efficiency of resource utilization. Allocation of user-created resources is based on a set of constraints specified by its creator and typically embodies the notion of access privileges.
Two popular strategies for resource allocation are:
Partitioning of resources
Allocation from a pool
In the resource partitioning approach, the OS decides a priori what resources should be allocated to a user computation. This approach is called static allocation because the allocation is made before the execution of a program starts. Static resource allocation is simple to implement, however, it could lead to suboptimal utilization because the allocation is made on the basis of perceived needs of a program, rather than its actual needs.
In the latter approach, the OS maintains a common pool of resources and allocates from this pool on a need basis. Thus, OS considers allocation of a resource when a program raises a request for a resource. This approach is called dynamic allocation because the allocation takes place during the execution of a program. Dynamic resource allocation can lead to better utilization of resources because the allocation is made when a program requests a resource.
An OS can use a resource table as the central data structure allocation. The table contains an entry for each resource unit in the system. The entry contains the name or address of the resource unit and its present status, i.e. whether it is free or allocated to some program. When a program raises a request for a resource, the resource would be allocated to it if it is presently free. If many resource units of a resource class exist in the system, a resource request only indicates the resource class and the OS checks if any resource unit of that class is available for allocation.
In the partitioned resource allocation approach, the OS decides on the resources to be allocated to a program based on the number of resources and the number of programs in the system. For example, an OS may decide that a program can be allocated 1 MB of memory, 2000 disk blocks and a monitor. Such a collection of resources is referred to as a partition. In effect, a set of partitions can be predefined in the system. The resource table can have an entry for each resource
partition. When a new program is to be started, an available partition is allocated to it.
Resource preemption
There are different ways in which resource can be shared by a set of programs. Some of these are: Sequential sharing
Concurrent sharing
In sequential sharing, a resource is allocated for exclusive use by a program. When the resource is de-allocated, it is marked free in the resource table. Now it can be allocated to another program. In concurrent sharing, two or more programs can concurrently use the same resource. Examples of concurrent sharing are data files. Most other resources cannot be shared concurrently. Unless otherwise mentioned, all through this text resources are assumed to be only sequentially shareable. When a resource is sequentially shareable, the system can de-allocate a resource when the program makes an explicit request for de-allocation. Alternatively, it can de-allocate a resource by force. This is called resource preemption, that is, forceful de-allocation of a resource.
Preemption of system resources is used by the OS to enforce fairness in their use by programs, or to realize certain system level goals. A preempted program cannot execute unless the preempted resource unit, or some other resource unit pi' the same resource class, is allocated to it once again. The shorter term preemption is used preemption of the CPU, and the full term resource preemption is used for preemption of other resources.
CPU sharing
The CPU can be shared in a sequential manner only. Hence only one program can execute at any time. Other programs in the system have to wait their turn. It is often important to provide fair service to all programs in the system. Hence preemption is used to free the CPU so that it can be given to another program. Deciding which program should be given the CPU and for how long is a critical function. This function is called CPU Scheduling, or simply scheduling. Partitioning is a bad approach for CPU Sharing, allocation from a pool is the obvious approach to use.
Memory sharing
Like the CPU, the memory also cannot be shared concurrently. However, unlike the CPU, its availability can be increased by treating different parts of memory as different resources. Both the partitioning and the pool-based allocation approaches can be used to manage the memory resource. Memory preemption can also be used to increase the availability of memory to programs. Special terms are used for different memory preemption techniques, hence the term “memory preemption” is rarely used in our discussions.
The purpose of a user interface is to provide for the use of OS resources, primarily the CPU, for processing a user's computational requirements. OS user interfaces typically use command languages. The user uses a command to set up an appropriate computational structure to fulfill a computational requirement.
