    Mr．White turned over in bed from time to time in last night，for he was very excited that he could not fall asleep．Yesterday morning，he went to a big gardening company，knowing as Green Fingers，for the interview．Mr．White，that liked to help his grandfather grow flowers in the garden，looking forward to the job offered by the company．When he got to the company，he found there were many people waiting there and he had no ideas whether he could get the job．While waited，he helped the workers there to remove the fallen trees and clear the road．Unluckily，he was the only one who finally got the job，so the manager decided to give the job to whoever he believed was helpful．

    分析 本文讲述了一个面试的故事．
    怀特先生期盼能在一家被称作绿色手指的园艺公司得到一份工作，因为他想要帮助爷爷种花．当他去面试的时候，发现很多人都来面试，所以担心自己可能会得不到这份工作．结果他得到了这份工作，经理解释是因为只有他在等待面试的时候，帮助工人挪走路边倒下的树．

    解答 Mr．White turned over in bed from time to time in last night，for he was very excited that he could not fall asleep．Yesterday morning，he went to a big gardening company，knowing as Green Fingers，for the interview．Mr．White，that liked to help his grandfather grow flowers in the garden，∧looking forward to the job offered by the company．When he got to the company，he found there were many people waiting there and he had no ideas whether he could get the job．While waited，he helped the workers there to remove the fallen trees and clear the road．Unluckily，he was the only one who finally got the job，so the manager decided to give the job to whoever he believed was helpful．
    解析：
    1．去掉in．考查介词． last night前面不用介词．
    2．very改为so．考查固定句式．修饰形容词excited和 that 构成固定句式，表示"如此…以至于"用so．
    3．knowing改为known．考查非谓语动词．定语knowing as Green Fingers修饰a big gardening company，而且二者之间是被动关系，所以用known．
    4．the改为a．考查冠词．第一次提到interview用不定冠词a，表示"一次会面"．
    5．that改为 who．考查关系词．非限制性定语从句liked to help his grandfather grow flowers in the garden缺少主语，先行词是Mr．White，所以关系词用who．that不用于非限制性定语从句．
    6．looking前加was或改为looked．考查动词的时态．根据上文可知讲述的是过去的故事，所以用一般过去时态或现在进行时．表示"他（正）期盼着这份工作"．
    7．ideas改为idea．考查名词．根据同位语从句whether he could get the job．可知这里的idea只表示他能否找到这份工作这一件事，所以用单数．
    8．waited改为waiting．考查非谓语动词．表示状语 waited和主语he之间是主动关系，所以用waiting．也可以认为While（he was）waiting．
    9．Unluckily改为Luckily．考查副词．根据he was the only one who finally got the job可知这是一件幸运的事，所以用Luckily．
    10．so改为 because．考查连词．he was the only one who finally got the job的原因是 the manager decided to give the job to whoever he believed was helpful．所以用 because．

    点评 考查语法改错．
    状语从句的省略
    一般说来省略现象多出现在下列五种状语从句中：由 when，while，as，before，after，till，until，once等引导的时间状语从句；由whether，if，unless 等引导的条件状语从句；由 though，although，even if，whatever等引导的让步状语从句；由 as，than 等引导的比较状语从句；由as，as if，as though 等引导的方式状语从句．上述状语从句在省略时，并非任何成分都可以省略而是遵循下面原则：
    （1）当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时，可以省略状语从句的主语和系动词be．例如
    Once （he was）a worker，Pang Long now becomes a famous singer．庞龙曾经是个工人，现在变成一位著名的歌手．
    （2）当从句的主语是 it，谓语动词中又含有系动词be 时，可以把it和系动词be一起省略．此时构成连词（if，unless，when，whenever）+形容词的结构．如：
    Unless （it is） necessary，you'd better not refer to the dictionary．如果没有必要，你最好不要查字典．

    9．The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships．One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or"provider"and purchaser or"consumer"in the typical doctor-patient relationship．In most sectors of the economy，it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price，quality，and use，and it is the buyer who makes the decision．Such condition，however，is not common in most of the health-care industry．
    In the health-care industry，the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer．Once an individual has chosen to see a physician-and even then there may be no real choice-it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions：whether the patient should return"next Wednesday"，whether X-rays are needed，whether drugs should be prescribed，etc．It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price，especially when the disease is regarded as serious．
    This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care．The physician must certify the need for hospitalization，determine what procedures will be performed，and announce when the patient may be discharged．The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions，but in general it is the doctor's judgments that are fi nal．Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real"consumer"．As a consequence，the med ical staff represents the"power center"in hospital policy and decision-making，not the administration．
    Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants-the physician，the hospital，the patient，and the payer （generally an insurance carrier or government）-the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them．The hospital becomes an extension of the physician； the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital，and for the most part the patient plays a passive role．We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians，not patients．For this reason，the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective．
     
    28．The author's prim ary purpose in writing this passage is toD．
    A．urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority
    B．inform potential patients of their health-care rights
    C．criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients
    D．analyze some important economic factors in health-care
    29．It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies becauseB．
    A．most of patient's bills are paid by his health insurance
    B．it is doctors who generate income for the hospital
    C．some patients might refuse to take their physician's advice
    D．a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient's health
    30．According to the author，when a doctor tells a patient to"return next Wednesday"，the doctor is in factC．
    A．advising the patient to seek a second opinion
    B．warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary
    C．instructing the patient to buy more medical services
    D．admitting that the first visit was ineffective
    31．The author is most probably leading up toA．
    A．a proposal to control medical costs
    B．a study of lawsuits against doctors for malpractice
    C．an analysis of the cause of inflation （通货膨胀） in the US
    D．a discussion of a new medical treatment．

    5．Since ninety-eight percent of Hong Kong people are Chinese，half of them from Mainland China who know little English，there seems to be no valid reason why Chinese should not be one of the official languages of Hong Kong．
    Generally，none-English speaking Chinese make out very well．It is mostly the courts that they experienced any great difficulty-Hong Kong's law and court proceedings are in English-because，apparently，not sufficient attention is given to translating laws and procedures into Chinese．
    One other difficulty lies in the field of official communication-from Government offices．It seems no more than reasonable that such communications addressed to Chinese people should be in both Chinese and English．
    The Chinese Language Committee has，in its four reports to Government，proposed that the Chinese language should have equal status with the English language in meetings of the Legislative Council，the Urban Council and Government Boards and Committees； in oral and written communications between Government and the public； in court-proceedings and the language of the law； and in the Hong Kong School Certificate of Education Examinations-all that by 1974 or 1975．
    The key-word in the recommendation is status，as Judge T．L．Yang，Chairman of the Legal Sub-committee of the government-appointed Chinese Language Committee，pointed out．He is not happy with the term Fat Ting U Men which the Committee adopted to indicate the official status of the Chinese language．His Honor preferred Kun Fong U Men，meaning a language used by the government．
    In other words，such official language，whether Chinese or English，need not necessarily be used in every instance．Consequently，situations may occur in which only Chinese is used by the government and，again，other communication situations in which only English is used．As one Chinese newspaper editorial pointed out，equal status does not necessarily mean equal use-whether in law or any other official communication．
    The result of the Chinese Language Committee's four Reports seems to be that Chinese and English are now used in the Urban Council and the Legislative Council meetings and are likely to be used shortly in other circumstances prospected by that Committee．Let it be noted，however，that in Hong Kong，as everywhere else，new ideas take hold very slowly-unless pressure is exerted from some quarter or another．
    For instance，after the demonstrations by post-secondary students in favor of Chinese as an official language，Government communicated with the public in both Chinese and English．However，when such communication appeared in writing，the Chinese translation was often so inadequate that the receivers，if they were able，read the English to understand the meaning of the Chinese．

    74．According to the writer，Chinese should be made an official language becauseC．
    A．most Hong Kong citizens have an adequate command of Chinese
    B．some Hong Kong citizens find considerable difficulty in legal language
    C．the population of Hong Kong is predominantly Chinese
    D．the national pride of the Hong Kong Chinese urges them to demand it．
    75．The main idea of the sixth paragraph is thatD．
    A．equal status of English and Chinese means equal use
    B．only Chinese should be used in official communication
    C．both English and Chinese should be employed in all official communication
    D．both English and Chinese or either language should be used as the situation demands
    76．The phrase or word nearest in meaning to take hold in the seventh paragraph isD．
    A．fasten upon the mind      
    B．grasp
    C．are rejected                            
    D．are accepted
    77．The writer，in his conclusion，implies thatC．
    A．the government will be forced to accept Chinese as an official language
    B．good translators are definitely inadequate in Hong Kong
    C．many difficulties will arise from translating English into Chinese
    D．a person has to be bilingual （双语的） before he understands translations in Chinese．

    19．According to researchers，money can buy happiness，but only if you spend it on someone else．
    Spending as little as 5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness，the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found．Their experiments  on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably（适度地）happier when they  spent money on others---even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier．"We wanted to test our theory that how peoplespend their money is at least asi mportant as how much money they earn，"said Elizabeth Dunn，a psychologist at the University of British Columbia．They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness，report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills，gifts for themselves，giftsfor others and donations to charity（慈善机构）．"Regardless of  how much income each person made，those who spent money on others reported greater happiness，while those who spent more on themselves did not，"Dunn said in a statement．Dunn's team also surveyed（调查）16 employees at acompany in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharingbonus（奖金）of between3，000 and 8，000．"Employeeswho devoted more of their bonus to pro-social（有益社会的）spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus，and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor（预示）oftheir happiness than the size of the bonus itself，"they wrote in their report，published in the journal Science．They gave  their volunteers 5 or20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it．Those who spentthe money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it．"These findings suggest that veryminor alterations（改动）in spending allocations（分配）---as little as $5---may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，"Dunn said．

    32．According to the passage，B．
    A．the more money you spend on others，the happier you are
    B．spending money on others can bring you happiness

    A．were given clear instructions on how to spend the bonus
    B．had more happiness than the size of the bonus itself
    C．experienced greater happiness after receiving their bonus
    D．felt happier after they contributed much of the bonus to charities

    6．One thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world； however，governments，elected or otherwise，sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons．The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language．It is Chinese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals．The term was brought to the United States，in the late nineteenth century，where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle，coal and oil，rubber and steel，and railroads．Some people called these tycoons"capitals of industry"and praised them for their contributions to U．S．wealth and international reputation．Others criticized them as cruel"robber barons"，who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth．
    The early tycoons built successful businesses，often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition．A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly．Monopolies made a few families very wealthy，but they also placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large．
    As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast to the West Coast，local monopolies turned into national corporations called trusts．A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees．Railroad trusts are an excellent example．Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized various routes，setting rates as high as they desired．The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts．Farmers，for example，had no choice but to pay，as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers．Exorbitant （过高的） goods rates put some farmers out of business．
    There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials．In 1890Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust．Act，legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts．The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues．First of all，it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade．It also made it illegal to monopolize any part of business that operates across state lines．
    Over the next 60years or so，Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations．

    25．The Sherman Antitrust ActB．
    A．affected only the companies doing business within state lines
    B．sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market-place
    C．promoted trade with a large number of nations
    D．provides a financial advantage to the buyer
    26．One might infer from this passage that lower pricesA．
    A．are more likely to exist in a competitive market economy
    B．usually can be found only in an economy based on monopolies
    C．matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty level
    D．are regulated by the government
    27．It seems likely that many AmericansD．
    A．believed that the trusts had little influence over government
    B．expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poor

    3．The Entropia Universe
    The Entropia Universe is a virtual world on the Internet，which seems very like our real life．It is set in a distant future and based on a planet called Calypso．Entropia was the brainchild of a group of Swedish computer lovers who decided to see if they could create a three dimensional （维度的） virtual world that could be placed on the Internet．They did manage after they received the financial backing they needed．
    The game can be played for free，but nearly all in-game activities require personal resources that you have available to use．Although there are various activities to keep you busy on Calypso，what most people do first is to find themselves a profession，such as hunting the fierce animals on Calypso，mining the precious minerals and making tools．Then they can think about buying their virtual house or paying a visit to a virtual nightclub or doing any of the other activities that make life bearable．
    Entropia has its very own economy （经济） and its own currency，the PED （Project Entropia Dollars）．Players move real world money into PED which they then use to pay for their life on Calypso．However，the virtual things inside Entropia do have a real value in the outside world，and careful business deals mean that players can actually make real money there．PED can be changed into dollars any time at a rate of 10PED to 1US﹩．
    What's so impressive about The Entropia Universe is the number of players； currently more than 600，000 representing over 220 countries from planet Earth．A number of players insist that it's a good way to make money．However，the reality of Entropia's economic system is that most people end up paying more than they earn and it's not uncommon to find players who are paying up to﹩200 a month into their PED account．This might not be the most economical way of spending one's free time．However，some people say that for them the fact that they can escape the realities of the earthbound life and become a different person with a completely different life for a few hours every week is worth the use of money，even if they don't get any interest rates on it．

    63．What can we learn about The Entropia Universe？A
    A．It costs nothing to join．
    B．It focuses on business plans．
    C．It is designed for computer lovers．
    D．It presents what life is like on other planets．
    64．What does Paragraph 2mainly talk about？A
    A．What people do on Calypso．
    B．When people buy houses there．
    C．How people make life bearable．
    D．Why people often find a job first．
    65．According to the author，playing on The Entropia UniverseB．
    A．may be very annoying  
    B．can be quite expensive
    C．is a cheap way to kill time
    D．is a good way to earn money
    66．What can be inferred about The Entropia Universe？B
    A．It is technical．
    B．It is satisfying．
    C．It is ridiculous．
    D．It is educational．

    4．A new age is coming．Call it what you will：the service economy，the information age，the knowledge society．It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work．Already we're partly there，the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World．Today the majority of jobs in America，Europe and Japan are in the service industry，and the number is on the rise．More women are in the work force than ever before．There are more part-time jobs．More people are self-employed．But the range of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone，because it also is giving rise to important new way of thinking about the nature of work itself．Long-held ideas about jobs and careers，the skills needed to succeed，even the relation between individuals and employers-all these are being challenged．
    We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead．No one looking ahead 20years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention，the chip，would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers，digital communications and factory robots．Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology，artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes．But one thing is certain：information and knowledge will become even more valid，and the people who possess it，whether they work in manufacturing or services，will have the advantage and produce the wealth．Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write．The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else．If you cast your mind ahead 10years，information service will be superior．It will be the way you do your job．

    66．A characteristic of the new age mentioned in the passage is thatC．
    A．the service industry mainly relies on females
    B．manufacturing industries are steadily increasing

    C．More women than men are in the work force．
    D．Part-time jobs are more welcome than full-time jobs．
    68．By mentioning the invention of"the chip"，the author means to say thatC．
    A．we haven't paid enough attention to the importance of high technology
    B．the chip is the most important invention today
    C．the power of science and technology is beyond our imagination
    D．it's a great challenge to apply new inventions to our life
    69．We may draw a conclusion from the passage thatA．
    A．information will play a greater role in people's work and daily life in the future
    B．we can foresee the future if technology develops fast enough
    C．the ability of performing routine tasks gives you an advantage in work
    D．robots will replace people to do all the work both in manufacturing and service industries
    70．The author's attitude to the coming age isB．
    A．doubtful         B．enthusiastic
