My favourite Books
—Posted by Catherine Chung.a great writer
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
This collection contains several maths stories. The one I recommend is Division By Zero,about Jane Parkinson,a brilliant German mathematician.To her great despair,she ends up proving that mathematics is inconsistent and is able to prove that any two numbers are equal.A beautiful,thought-provoking(发人深省的)story about belief,understanding,and faith.
The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa
It's about a woman who comes to work for a once-great mathematician.Due to a brain injury,he has only 80 minutes of short-term memory available to him before he forgets everything. It is filled with beautiful maths,simply and clearly described alongside finely drawn relationships between the characters.
Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro
Kovalevskaya was a 19th-century mathematician at a time when women were not allowed in most of Europe to attend university. She married a man who promised to take her to Germany to study. She made major contributions to the field and became the first woman in Russia to obtain a doctorate in mathematics.
The Ore Miner's Wife by Karl Iagnemma
It is about a miner who thinks he's discovered the proof to the problem: construct a square,equal in area to a given circle. His wife, not knowing what has suddenly taken his attention and his time, fears he is being unfaithful. A moving exploration of the joys of entering a problem whole and the desire and impossibility of truly knowing those we love.
1. What does"I"refer to in Paragraph 1?
A. Catherine Chung. B. Ted Chiang.
C. Jane Parkinson. D. Yoko Ogawa.
2. Which book is about a pioneering Russian woman mathematician?
A. Stories of Your Life and Others. B. The Housekeeper and the Professor.

B
Bankers have been blaming themselves for their troubles in public. Behind the scenes, they have been taking aim at someone else: the accounting standard-setters. Their rules, moan the banks, have forced them to report enormous losses, and it’s just not fair. These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch.
Unfortunately, banks’ lobbying now seems to be working. The details may be unknowable, but the independence of standard-setters, essential to the proper functioning of capital markets, is being compromised. And, unless banks carry toxic assets at prices that attract buyers, reviving the banking system will be difficult.
After a bruising encounter with Congress, America’s Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rushed through rule changes. These gave banks more freedom to use models to value illiquid assets and more flexibility in recognizing losses on long-term assets in their income statement. Bob Herz, the FASB’s chairman, cried out against those who “question our motives.” Yet bank shares rose and the changes enhance what one lobby group politely calls “the use of judgment by management.”
European ministers instantly demanded that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) do likewise. The IASB says it does not want to act without overall planning, but the pressure to fold when it completes it reconstruction of rules later this year is strong. Charlie McCreevy, a European commissioner, warned the IASB that it did “not live in a political vacuum” but “in the real word” and that Europe could yet develop different rules.
It was banks that were on the wrong planet, with accounts that vastly overvalued assets. Today they argue that market prices overstate losses, because they largely reflect the temporary illiquidity of markets, not the likely extent of bad debts. The truth will not be known for years. But bank’s shares trade below their book value, suggesting that investors are skeptical. And dead markets partly reflect the paralysis of banks which will not sell assets for fear of booking losses, yet are reluctant to buy all those supposed bargains.
4. Bankers complained that they were forced to do what?
A. follow unfavorable asset evaluation rules
B. collect payments from third parties
C. cooperate with the price managers
D. reevaluate some of their assets.
5. According to the author, the rule changes of the FASB may result in .
A. the diminishing role of management
B. the revival of the banking system
C. the banks’ long-term asset losses
D. the weakening of its independence
6. According to Paragraph 4 what is the attempt that McCreevy objects to the IASB’s?
A. Keep away from political influences.
B. Evade the pressure from their peers.
C. Act on their own in rule-setting.
D. Take gradual measures in reform.
7. What does the author think the banks were “on the wrong planet” ?
A. Misinterpreted market price indicators
B. Exaggerated the real value of their assets
C. Neglected the likely existence of bad debts.
D. Denied booking losses in their sale of assets.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍关于银行与会计准则制定者之间关系,银行家们将自身问题归咎于会计准则制定者,认为其规则迫使银行报告巨额损失,并分析了相关规则变化及各方态度。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Bankers have been blaming themselves for their troubles in public. Behind the scenes, they have been taking aim at someone else: the accounting standard-setters. Their rules, moan the banks, have forced them to report enormous losses, and it’s just not fair. These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch. (银行家们一直在公开场合为自己的困境自责。在幕后,他们一直在瞄准另一个人:会计准则制定者。银行抱怨说,他们的规则迫使他们报告巨额亏损,这是不公平的。这些规则规定,它们必须按照第三方愿意支付的价格对某些资产进行估值,而不是按照管理机构和监管机构希望这些资产获得的价格。) ” 可知银行抱怨会计准则制定者的规则迫使他们以第三方愿意支付的价格评估资产,这让他们报告了巨额损失,即遵循不利的资产评估规则,故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“After a bruising encounter with Congress, America’s Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rushed through rule changes. These gave banks more freedom to use models to value illiquid assets and more flexibility in recognizing losses on long-term assets in their income statement. (在与国会的激烈交锋之后,美国财务会计准则委员会(FASB)匆匆通过了规则变更。这使银行在使用模型评估非流动性资产方面有了更大的自由,在损益表中确认长期资产损失方面也有了更大的灵活性。)”可知FASB经过努力使国会通过了一些变革,这些变革赋予了银行更多的权利,也就是说对银行的管理更为松散,所以推断可能导致管理作用减弱,故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Charlie McCreevy, a European commissioner, warned the IASB that it did “not live in a political vacuum” but “in the real word” and that Europe could yet develop different rules. (欧盟委员查理•麦克里维(Charlie McCreevy)警告IASB,它并非“生活在政治真空中”,而是“生活在现实世界中”,欧洲仍有可能制定不同的规则。)” 可知欧洲有可能制定不同的规则,故推断欧洲对这个问题有自己独立的法律法规。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It was banks that were on the wrong planet, with accounts that vastly overvalued assets. Today they argue that market prices overstate losses, because they largely reflect the temporary illiquidity of markets, not the likely extent of bad debts. The truth will not be known for years. (是银行走错了星球,它们的账户严重高估了资产。如今,他们认为市场价格夸大了损失,因为它们主要反映的是市场暂时的流动性不足,而不是坏账的可能程度。真相要过很多年才会大白于天下。)”可知作者批判银行认为市场价格夸大了损失,而忽略了坏账,所以作者认为银行走错了星球意思是忽视了可能存在的坏账。故选C。
C
Although the top men in smuggling business must work together, most of a syndicate’s small fry, especially the mules, know only their immediate contacts. If caught there is little they can give away.
A mule probably will not even know the name of the person who gives him his instructions, nor how to get in touch with him. Usually he even does not know the person to whom he has to make delivery.
He will be told just to sit tight in a certain hotel or bar until someone contacts him. In this way if he is blown, coming through airport customs he cannot unwittingly lead agents to the next link in the chain.
All the persons at the receiving end do is to hang around the airport among the waiting crowd, and see that the mule comes through safely. If he does not, he is dimply written off as a loss.
To make identification of mules easier, several syndicates have devised their own “club ties” so that a mule wearing one can immediately be picked out.
Mules often receive careful training before embarking on their first journey. One Beirut organization, for example, uses a room with three airline seats in it. There the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes, so that they become accustomed to standing up after a long flight in a natural way, and without revealing what they are carrying.
An outfit in Brussels maintained a comfortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for the airport in the morning. More often than not a courier will not know precisely where he is going or what flight number is until he is actually handed his tickets at the airport. This prevents the careless boast in some bar or to a girl friend the night before.
Mules occasionally run off with the goods to keep the profit themselves. As insurance against this, a syndicate often sends a high-up on the same plane to keep a wary eye on couriers, particularly new ones. Even then things can go badly wrong. One international currency smuggler who was having trouble getting money out of Britain was offered help by a group of men who said they were in a position to “fix thing”— for a fee of course. Foolishly, the smuggler agreed to accept their help.
8. What is a “mule”?
A. A person who sends smuggling goods for a syndicate is called mule.
B. A person in charge of smuggling goods is called mule.
C. A person who makes delivery for a syndicate is called mule.
D. A person who receives instructions from a smuggler is called mule.
9. The sentence underlined in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. if he is arrested.
B. if he is recognized, but not necessarily arrested.
C. if he is recognized and arrested.
D. if he runs away.
10. Why does the author give an example in the last paragraph?
A. To show how a smuggler is caught.
B. To show a smuggler is afraid of the police.
C. To show to keep a wary eye on couriers is useless.
D. To show mules may keep the profit for themselves.
11. How does a mule work?
A. Jointly. B. Independently. C. Consciously. D. Separately.
【答案】8 C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕走私集团中“骡子”——受雇携带走私物品的人,这一角色展开,详细地说明了走私集团内部的一些运作模式和特点。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Although the top men in smuggling business must work together, most of a syndicate’s small fry, especially the mules, know only their immediate contacts. If caught there is little they can give away.(尽管走私行业的高层人物必须相互合作,但走私集团中的大多数小喽啰,尤其是那些“骡子”(指被雇用来携带走私物品的人),只认识他们直接接触的人。如果被抓,他们能供出的信息也很少)”可知,“mule”是为犯罪集团送货的人,他们只知道直接联系人,通常不知道收货人的信息。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He will be told just to sit tight in a certain hotel or bar until someone contacts him. In this way if he is blown, coming through airport customs he cannot unwittingly lead agents to the next link in the chain.(他只会被告知在某家特定的酒店或酒吧里耐心等待,直到有人与他联系。这样一来,如果他在通过机场海关时被发现有问题,他也不会在不知不觉中带领执法人员找到走私链条上的下一个环节)”可知,骡子只会被告知在某家特定的酒店或酒吧里耐心等待,直到有人与他联系。这样做的目的是如果他在通过机场海关时被发现有问题(即被识破身份),他也不会在不知不觉中带领执法人员找到走私链条上的下一个环节。选项B“if he is recognized, but not necessarily arrested.(如果他被认出,但不一定被逮捕)”与此相符。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Mules occasionally run off with the goods to keep the profit themselves. As insurance against this, a syndicate often sends a high-up on the same plane to keep a wary eye on couriers, particularly new ones. Even then things can go badly wrong. One international currency smuggler who was having trouble getting money out of Britain was offered help by a group of men who said they were in a position to “fix thing”--- for a fee of course. Foolishly, the smuggler agreed to accept their help.(“骡子”们偶尔会带着货物逃跑,自己独吞利润。为了防范这种情况,走私集团常常会派一名高层人员搭乘同一架飞机,密切监视这些“骡子”,尤其是新来的“骡子”。即便如此,事情有时还是会出大问题。有一个国际货币走私犯在将钱带出英国时遇到了麻烦,这时一群人主动提出可以帮他“解决问题”——当然是要收取一定费用的。这个走私犯愚蠢地同意接受他们的帮助)”可知,骡子偶尔会带着货物逃跑以自己独吞利润,为了防范这种情况,走私集团常常会派一名高层人员搭乘同一架飞机,密切监视这些“骡子”,即便如此事情还是可能会出大问题。接着举例说明即使有高层监视“骡子”,“骡子”仍有可能出现带着货物或利益跑掉的情况,也就是“骡子”可能会为自己保留利润。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A mule probably will not even know the name of the person who gives him his instructions, nor how to get in touch with him. Usually he even does not know the person to whom he has to make delivery.(一个“骡子”甚至可能不知道给他下达指令的人的名字,也不知道如何与那个人取得联系。通常情况下,他甚至不知道要把东西交给谁)”可知,骡子们通常只知道自己直接的联系人,甚至不知道给自己下指令的人是谁,也不知道要把货物交给谁,他们只是按照指示在特定的地点等待联系,各自独立行动,彼此之间没有紧密的协作关系,是分散地开展工作的。故选D。
D
Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!
Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society.
Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock. A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life.
What a practical advantage it is(to give just a small example)to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place. But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages.
Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures-airy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes.
12. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Only co-education can be in harmony with society.
B. People are in great need of co-education.
C. Any form of education other than co-education is simply unthinkable.
D. Co-education has many features.
13. What does co-education offer to children?
A. A society. B. A true small model of society.
C. A real life. D. A version of social condition.
14. According to the passage, what is one of the chief aims of education?
A. It is for students to acquire knowledge.
B. It is to equip future citizens with scientific technology.
C. It is to equip future citizens with what is required in getting a position in society.
D. It is for students to get academic achievements.
15. Why do boys and girls in co-education have no illusion about each other?
A. They live together and know each other too well.
B. Years of living together at school dismiss such illusion.
C. Co-education encourage them to have an healthy attitude toward life.
D. They are familiar with each other’ s problems.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章文章探讨了男女同校教育为孩子提供社会缩影,让其相互了解、共同生活、多方面比较,且有打破性别谬论、避免对立等实际优势,最大贡献是培养健康生活态度,消除孩子对异性的不切实际幻想 。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!( 想象一下,你被要求在一个只有同性成员的社会中度过12年左右的时间。你会有什么反应?至少可以这么说,除非你确实有什么问题,否则你不会太高兴的。因此,更令人惊讶的是,世界上有这么多父母选择把这种不正常的条件强加给他们的孩子,而这些条件他们自己一分钟也不能忍受!)”可知,文章开篇提出想象在单性别社会生活十几年的情况,引出很多父母让孩子接受单性别教育这一现象,然后通过论述教育的目的是让孩子为进入成人社会做准备,而成人社会由男女组成,单性别学校无法提供合适的准备,接着阐述了男女同校教育的诸多优势,如提供真实社会的缩影、培养正确态度等,强调除了男女同校教育外,其他教育形式难以想象。C选项“除了男女同校教育外,任何形式的教育简直难以想象”,符合文章主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature.( 男女同校的学校为孩子们提供了一个真实的社会缩影。)” 可知,男女同校的学校为孩子们提供了一个真实的社会缩影。故选B项。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the chief aims of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society.( 教育的主要目的之一是使未来的公民具备在成人社会中占有一席之地所需的一切知识。)”可知,教育的主要目的之一是让未来的公民具备在成人社会中立足所需的一切。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life.( 男孩和女孩有机会相互了解,从他们最早的几年开始就学会一起生活。他们被置于一个可以在学术能力、运动成绩和许多课外活动方面相互比较的位置,这些都是学校生活的一部分。)”以及最后一段“Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures-airy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes.( 男孩在成长过程中不会相信女人是神秘的生物——飘渺的女神,更像是童话里的插图,而不是人类。女孩在成长过程中不会把男人想象成浪漫的英雄。)”可推知,男女同校的男生和女生对彼此没有幻想是因为在学校共同生活多年打消了这种幻想。故选B项。
第二节 (共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection.______16______.
American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan, along with Taylor, was one of the founders of modern anthropology. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.______17______.
In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology. ______18______.
Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. ______19______.
Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures. ______20______.
A. Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.
B. In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.
C. He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the “survival of the fittest,” in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.
D. They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people’s social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children’s entrance into adulthood.
E. Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.
F. Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.
G. For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world.

This theory was known as diffusionism. (其他人类学家认为,文化创新,如发明,有一个单一的起源,并从一个社会传到另一个社会。这个理论被称为扩散论)”衔接上文,说明了除了人类学家弗朗茨·博阿斯的观点外,其他人类学家的观点,衔接恰当。故选A项。

(为了尽可能完整地研究特定的文化,鲍亚士精通了语言学(研究语言)和体质人类学(研究人类生物学和解剖学))”衔接上文,说明鲍亚士为了研究文化的独特性做出的努力,衔接恰当。故选B项。

(有些人把几乎每一项重要的文化成就都归功于少数人的发明,特别是有天赋的民族,根据传播论者的说法,这些发明后来传播到其他文化)”说明了一些人的观点,认为重要的文化成就都来自少数人的发明,然后传播到世界各地,G项“For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world. (例如,英国人类学家Grafton Elliot Smith和W. J. Perry在信息不充分的基础上错误地认为,农业、制陶和冶金术都起源于古埃及,然后扩散到世界各地)”用具体的例子证明了上文一些人的观点,衔接恰当。故选G项。

【答案】The teacher’s eyes, though hidden behind the stark lines of the drawing, seem to hold a mix of sternness and hope, as if silently saying, “Today, we shall see what you’ve learned.” The student, on the other hand, is a picture of trepidation, their mind likely racing with a whirlwind of facts and figures, hoping to recall the right answers.
The pencil in the student’s hand is a lifeline, a tool to bridge the gap between their knowledge and the quiz that awaits. The teacher’s stance is one of readiness, a guardian of knowledge, waiting to see if the student has been a diligent seeker of truth.
In this moment, the classroom is a battlefield of wits, where the student must draw upon their reserves of learning to face the quiz.

【答案】Good morning, everyone! Today, I'd like to address a common sight among us: the practice of running to the cafeteria during meal times. I believe we should consider the implications of this behavior.
Firstly, running in crowded areas can be dangerous, potentially leading to accidents or injuries. It also might create an unwelcoming environment for those who prefer a more leisurely pace. Moreover, taking the time to walk allows us to engage with our peers, fostering a sense of community and allowing for meaningful interactions. Therefore, I suggest we all make a conscious effort to walk to the cafeteria. This small change can enhance safety and promote a more relaxed atmosphere.
Thank you for your attention!

My favourite Books
—Posted by Catherine Chung.a great writer
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
This collection contains several maths stories. The one I recommend is Division By Zero,about Jane Parkinson,a brilliant German mathematician.To her great despair,she ends up proving that mathematics is inconsistent and is able to prove that any two numbers are equal.A beautiful,thought-provoking(发人深省的)story about belief,understanding,and faith.
The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa
It's about a woman who comes to work for a once-great mathematician.Due to a brain injury,he has only 80 minutes of short-term memory available to him before he forgets everything. It is filled with beautiful maths,simply and clearly described alongside finely drawn relationships between the characters.
Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro
Kovalevskaya was a 19th-century mathematician at a time when women were not allowed in most of Europe to attend university. She married a man who promised to take her to Germany to study. She made major contributions to the field and became the first woman in Russia to obtain a doctorate in mathematics.
The Ore Miner's Wife by Karl Iagnemma
It is about a miner who thinks he's discovered the proof to the problem: construct a square,equal in area to a given circle. His wife, not knowing what has suddenly taken his attention and his time, fears he is being unfaithful. A moving exploration of the joys of entering a problem whole and the desire and impossibility of truly knowing those we love.
1. What does"I"refer to in Paragraph 1?

B
Bankers have been blaming themselves for their troubles in public. Behind the scenes, they have been taking aim at someone else: the accounting standard-setters. Their rules, moan the banks, have forced them to report enormous losses, and it’s just not fair. These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch.
Unfortunately, banks’ lobbying now seems to be working. The details may be unknowable, but the independence of standard-setters, essential to the proper functioning of capital markets, is being compromised. And, unless banks carry toxic assets at prices that attract buyers, reviving the banking system will be difficult.
After a bruising encounter with Congress, America’s Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rushed through rule changes. These gave banks more freedom to use models to value illiquid assets and more flexibility in recognizing losses on long-term assets in their income statement. Bob Herz, the FASB’s chairman, cried out against those who “question our motives.” Yet bank shares rose and the changes enhance what one lobby group politely calls “the use of judgment by management.”
European ministers instantly demanded that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) do likewise. The IASB says it does not want to act without overall planning, but the pressure to fold when it completes it reconstruction of rules later this year is strong. Charlie McCreevy, a European commissioner, warned the IASB that it did “not live in a political vacuum” but “in the real word” and that Europe could yet develop different rules.
It was banks that were on the wrong planet, with accounts that vastly overvalued assets. Today they argue that market prices overstate losses, because they largely reflect the temporary illiquidity of markets, not the likely extent of bad debts. The truth will not be known for years. But bank’s shares trade below their book value, suggesting that investors are skeptical. And dead markets partly reflect the paralysis of banks which will not sell assets for fear of booking losses, yet are reluctant to buy all those supposed bargains.

A. follow unfavorable asset evaluation rules
B. collect payments from third parties

5. According to the author, the rule changes of the FASB may result in .
A. the diminishing role of management
B. the revival of the banking system

A. Keep away from political influences.
B. Evade the pressure from their peers.
C. Act on their own in rule-setting.
D. Take gradual measures in reform.

Although the top men in smuggling business must work together, most of a syndicate’s small fry, especially the mules, know only their immediate contacts. If caught there is little they can give away.
A mule probably will not even know the name of the person who gives him his instructions, nor how to get in touch with him. Usually he even does not know the person to whom he has to make delivery.
He will be told just to sit tight in a certain hotel or bar until someone contacts him. In this way if he is blown, coming through airport customs he cannot unwittingly lead agents to the next link in the chain.
All the persons at the receiving end do is to hang around the airport among the waiting crowd, and see that the mule comes through safely. If he does not, he is dimply written off as a loss.
To make identification of mules easier, several syndicates have devised their own “club ties” so that a mule wearing one can immediately be picked out.
Mules often receive careful training before embarking on their first journey. One Beirut organization, for example, uses a room with three airline seats in it. There the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes, so that they become accustomed to standing up after a long flight in a natural way, and without revealing what they are carrying.
An outfit in Brussels maintained a comfortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for the airport in the morning. More often than not a courier will not know precisely where he is going or what flight number is until he is actually handed his tickets at the airport. This prevents the careless boast in some bar or to a girl friend the night before.
Mules occasionally run off with the goods to keep the profit themselves. As insurance against this, a syndicate often sends a high-up on the same plane to keep a wary eye on couriers, particularly new ones. Even then things can go badly wrong. One international currency smuggler who was having trouble getting money out of Britain was offered help by a group of men who said they were in a position to “fix thing”— for a fee of course. Foolishly, the smuggler agreed to accept their help.
8. What is a “mule”?
A. A person who sends smuggling goods for a syndicate is called mule.
B. A person in charge of smuggling goods is called mule.
C. A person who makes delivery for a syndicate is called mule.
D. A person who receives instructions from a smuggler is called mule.
9. The sentence underlined in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. if he is arrested.
B. if he is recognized, but not necessarily arrested.
C. if he is recognized and arrested.
D. if he runs away.
10. Why does the author give an example in the last paragraph?
A. To show how a smuggler is caught.
B. To show a smuggler is afraid of the police.
C. To show to keep a wary eye on couriers is useless.
D. To show mules may keep the profit for themselves.
11. How does a mule work?
A. Jointly. B. Independently. C. Consciously. D. Separately.
D
Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!
Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society.
Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock. A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life.
What a practical advantage it is(to give just a small example)to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place. But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages.
Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures-airy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes.
12. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Only co-education can be in harmony with society.
B. People are in great need of co-education.
C. Any form of education other than co-education is simply unthinkable.
D. Co-education has many features.
13. What does co-education offer to children?
A. A society. B. A true small model of society.
C. A real life. D. A version of social condition.
14. According to the passage, what is one of the chief aims of education?
A. It is for students to acquire knowledge.
B. It is to equip future citizens with scientific technology.
C. It is to equip future citizens with what is required in getting a position in society.
D. It is for students to get academic achievements.
15. Why do boys and girls in co-education have no illusion about each other?
A. They live together and know each other too well.
B. Years of living together at school dismiss such illusion.
C Co-education encourage them to have an healthy attitude toward life.
D. They are familiar with each other’ s problems.

Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection.______16______.
American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan, along with Taylor, was one of the founders of modern anthropology. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.______17______.
In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology. ______18______.
Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. ______19______.
Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures. ______20______.
A. Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.
B. In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.
C. He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the “survival of the fittest,” in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.
D. They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people’s social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children’s entrance into adulthood.
E. Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.
F. Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.
G. For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world.
