Decide which of the words given in the box below would best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blank. The words can be used ONCE ONLY. Mark the letter for each word on ANSWER SHEET TWO. 决定将下面方框中的哪个单词填入相应的空白处最能使这段话完整。这些单词只能使用一次。在答案纸二上为每个单词标注字母。
The selfishness of humans is a central assumption of orthodox（传统的）economics, where it is thought to lead to benefits for the economy a whole. It is what the 18th—century Scottish economist Adam Smith described as the “invisible hand”. But evolutionary biologists have come to see cooperation and selflessness as a big part of our (31) qquad\qquad as a species. During the course of our evolution, they point out, cooperative groups (32) qquad\qquad outcompeted groups of cheats. 人类的自私自利是正统（传统的）经济学的核心假设，它被认为会给整个经济带来好处。这就是 18 世纪苏格兰经济学家亚当-斯密所描述的 "看不见的手"。但是，进化生物学家认为，合作和无私是我们（31） qquad\qquad 这个物种的重要组成部分。他们指出，在我们的进化过程中，合作群体(32) qquad\qquad 战胜了欺骗群体。
So we are inherently cooperative when operating within our own groups. We have also (33) qquad\qquad aocial mechanisms to reinforce actions that benefit the group. “You could say teamwork at the scale of small groups is the signature (34) qquad\qquad of our species,” says evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson from Binghamton University in New York. 因此，当我们在自己的群体中活动时，我们天生就是合作的。我们还有（33） qquad\qquad 社会机制来强化有利于群体的行动。"纽约宾汉姆顿大学的进化生物学家戴维-斯隆-威尔逊（David Sloan Wilson）说："可以说，小群体规模的团队合作是我们这个物种的标志(34) qquad\qquad 。
But (35) qquad\qquad teamwork can include a competition mechanism to promote actions that benefit the group, particularly in larger groups. It’s also important to remember that in-group cooperation evolved partly in response to competition between groups. 但是，(35) qquad\qquad 团队合作可以包括竞争机制，以促进有利于群体的行动，尤其是在较大的群体中。同样重要的是要记住，群体内合作的进化部分是为了应对群体间的竞争。
This evolutionary perspective is radically new to economics, and it could be relevant to grand-scale economic problems that require solutions involving cooperation between nations. Take the challenge of getting nations to work together over economic solutions to climate change - a (36)___ focus in the run-up to climate negotiations in Paris, France, later this year. This is a gargantuan（巨大的）problem from any perspective, but it is (37) qquad\qquad an issue of coordination for the sake of the common good at a massive scale, says Wilson. “The challenge is therefore to (38) qquad\qquad at larger scales the coordination and control that takes place more spontaneously at smaller scales,” he says-from multicellular（多细胞的） organisms to village-sized groups of humans. 这种进化论视角对经济学来说是全新的，它可能适用于需要国家间合作才能解决的大规模经济问题。今年晚些时候将在法国巴黎举行气候谈判，如何让各国携手合作，从经济上解决气候变化问题，是谈判前的一个（36）_____________________________________________重点。威尔逊说，无论从哪个角度看，这都是一个巨大的问题，但它却是 (37) qquad\qquad 一个为了共同利益而进行大规模协调的问题。"威尔逊说："因此，我们面临的挑战是（38） qquad\qquad 如何在更大的尺度上进行协调和控制，而这种协调和控制在更小的尺度上会更自发地进行。从生物到村庄规模的人类群体。
“Morality evolved out of cooperation within and competition between groups, so when acting as a single group to tackle global problems we will have to (39) qquad\qquad the role of natural selection ourselves,” Wilson says. This might involve pursuing a wide variety of (40) qquad\qquad , identifying those that work best, and then creating incentives to cooperate on implementation. “In some ways it’s the opposite of the invisible hand.” "威尔逊说："道德是在群体内部的合作和群体之间的竞争中发展起来的，因此，当我们作为一个群体来解决全球性问题时，我们必须 (39) qquad\qquad 自己扮演自然选择的角色。威尔逊说，"这可能涉及到采用多种 (40) qquad\qquad 方法，找出最有效的方法，然后制定激励措施，在实施过程中进行合作。在某些方面，这与 "看不见的手 "恰恰相反。

SECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS A 部分 选择题
In this section there are three passages followed by ten multiple choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO. 本部分有三段文字，后面有十道选择题。每道题有四个建议答案，分别标有 [A]、[B]、[C] 和 [D]。请选择您认为最佳的答案，并在答案纸二上标出您的答案。
PASSAGE ONE 通道一
(1) Do you realize that every time you take a step, the bones in your hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or completely. It is after all a simple ball and socket joint; it has certain loads imposed on it; it needs reliability over a defined life; it must contain materials suitable for the working environment. Any engineer will recognize these as characteristic of a typical engineering problem, which doctors and engineers have worked together to solve, in order to bring a fresh lease of life to people who would otherwise be disabled. (1) 你是否意识到，每当你迈出一步，你臀部的骨头就会承受四到五倍于你体重的力量？当你跑步时，这种力量还会进一步增加。如果髋关节因疾病而无法抵抗这种力量，会发生什么情况呢？多年来，髋关节和其他身体关节都可以部分或完全更换。它毕竟是一个简单的球窝关节；它承受着一定的负荷；它需要在规定的使用寿命内保持可靠性；它必须包含适合工作环境的材料。任何工程师都会认识到，这些都是典型的工程问题的特征，医生和工程师共同努力解决这些问题，为那些否则就会致残的人带来新生。
(2) This typifies the way in which engineers work to help people and create a better quality of life. The fact that this country has the most efficient agricultural industry in the world is another good example. Mechanical engineers have worked with farmers and biologists to produce fertilizers, machinery and harvesting systems. This team effort has now produced crops uniformly waist high or less so that they are better suited to mechanical harvesting. Similar advances with other crops have released people from hard and boring jobs for more creative work, whilst machines harvest crops more efficiently with less waste. Providing more food for the rapidly increasing population is yet another role for the mechanical engineer. (2) 这就是工程师帮助人们和创造更高质量生活的典型方式。我国拥有世界上最高效的农业，这是另一个很好的例子。机械工程师与农民和生物学家合作生产肥料、机械和收割系统。通过这种团队合作，现在生产出的农作物均匀地长到腰部或更低，从而更适合机械收割。其他农作物的类似进步也让人们从艰苦枯燥的工作中解脱出来，从事更有创造性的工作，而机器收割农作物的效率更高，浪费更少。为快速增长的人口提供更多的食物是机械工程师的另一个职责。
41. According to the passage, when would most weight be imposed on hip-joints? 41.根据这段文字，什么时候髋关节承受的重量最大？
[A] When one is walking. [一个人走路的时候 [B][B] When one is running. [B][B] 当一个人正在运行时。
[C] When one is standing. [C] 当人站立时。
[D] When one is lying down. [D] 躺着的时候。
42. Engineers regard the replacement of hip-joints as a(n) qquad\qquad Problem. 42.工程师们认为髋关节置换是一个（n） qquad\qquad 问题。
[A] mechanical [A] 机械
[B] medical [B] 医疗
[C] health [C] 健康 [D][D] agricultural [D][D] 农业
43. According to the passage, how do engineers contribute to increasing efficiency of the agricultural industry? 43.根据这段文字，工程师如何为提高农业效率做出贡献？
[A] By working with farmers. [A] 通过与农民合作。
[B] By working in teams. [B] 通过团队合作。
[C] By growing crops of the same height. [C] 种植相同高度的作物。
[D] By making agricultural machinery. [D] 通过制造农业机械。
PASSAGE TWO 通道二
(1) Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I’m going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning. (1) 如今，人人都可以使用手机服务，无处不在。可能已经有成千上万的人在使用它了，但我才刚刚发现它，所以我要把它认领下来，并为它命名：假 Foning。
(2) The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite applications. Virtually in any public space. (2) 这项技术在我的办公室里一直运行良好，但应用领域无限广阔。几乎可以在任何公共场所使用。
(3) Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can’t walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost. (3) 假设你在一所大学校工作，学校里有很多爱说话的教职员工。现在，假设你需要上厕所。在大厅里走一趟大约需要一个小时，因为一个人不可能不被那些爱说话的人拉到一边问问题、聊八卦、对《失乐园》的某句话进行新的解读。
(4) So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don’t dial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade. (4) 那么，手机。任何手机。拿起来就行。不要拨号。把手机对着脸，然后开始说话。自信满满地走在大厅里，假模假样地交谈，确保话题和内容都符合站在你面前的那个你试图躲避的人。
(5) For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business: (5) 对于标准的同事回避，我建议假聊假生意：
(6) “Yes, I’m glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What’s that? Yes, I read Page 12 , but if you look at the bottom of 4 , I think you can see the problem begins right there.” (6) "是的，我很高兴你打来电话，因为我们真的需要敲定细节。那是什么？是的，我看了第 12 页，但如果你看看第 4 页的底部，我想你可以看到问题就是从这里开始的。"
(7) Be animated. Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eye contact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on. (7) 要生动。在假电话交谈中要投入。与路过的人进行眼神交流，向他们点头示意，表示有兴趣稍后与他们交谈，然后指指手机，耸耸肩，继续前进。
(8) Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce department pinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you’d be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is. (8) 每当发现邻居在农产品部用手捏未成熟的桃子时，购物者就应该考虑假装 "foning"。如果没有手机在你眼前晃悠，你就会听上 20 分钟的演讲，了解这个世界有多糟糕。
(9) One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued fake foning with my doctor. “So I don’t need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news.” (9) 关于 "假打招呼 "的一个重要注意事项。有一天，我假意从一位同事身边走过，他其实是在跟踪我，想引起我的注意。我知道他想问我一个尚未完成的项目。我想给自己争取一些时间，于是继续假意和我的医生聊天。"所以我不需要做手术了？哦，医生，这真是个好消息。"
(10) And then: Brrrrrrng! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. “What is the matter with this thing?” I said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear. (10) 然后：Brrrrrrng！Brrrrrmg!我的手机开始响了，就在我的脸上。我的同事看着我，我也看着他，我自然而然地喘着粗气："这东西怎么了？"我说着，把手机拿开看了看，然后又放回耳边。
(11) “Hello? Are you still there?” (11) "喂？你还在吗？"
(12) Oops. (12) 哎呀。
44. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? 44.以下哪项陈述是不正确的？
[A] Cellphone service is popular among people. [B] Cellphone has much use in office. [A] 手机服务在人们中很流行。[B] 手机在办公室的使用率很高。
[C] Fake foning is a new cellphone service. [D] Fake foning is a new discovery. [C] Fake foning 是一种新的手机服务。[D] Fake foning 是一项新发现。

PASSAGE THREE 三号通道
(1) It was late in the afternoon, and I was putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the computer down, and it seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out. (1) 那是一个傍晚，我正在为一篇感觉还不错的文章做最后的润色。我想把它保存下来，但光标却卡住了。我试着关机，结果电脑完全卡住了。我不知道还能做什么，就用力猛拉电池。
(2) Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD. (2) 不幸的是，Windows 正在进行一项微妙而关键的工作。第二天早上，当我重新打开电脑时，它告诉我一个文件已损坏，Windows 无法加载。然后，它提出使用 Windows 安装光盘进行自我修复。
(3) I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs. But no Windows CD in there. I was forced to call the computer company’s Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. I find it annoying to make small talk with someone when I don’t know what continent they’re standing on. Suppose I were to comment on the beautiful weather we’ve been having when there was a monsoon at the other end of the phone? So I got right to the point. (3) 我打开了放 CD 的专用抽屉。但里面没有 Windows CD。我不得不给电脑公司的全球支持中心打电话。接电话的是一位远在某个陌生国度的女士。我觉得在不知道对方身处何方的情况下和对方闲聊是一件很烦人的事情。假如我想评论一下最近的好天气，而电话那头却在刮季风呢？于是我开门见山。
(40 “My computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I don’t have the Windows Setup CD.” (40 "我的电脑告诉我一个文件已损坏，它想自我修复，但我没有 Windows 安装光盘"。
(5) “So you’re having a problem with your Windows Setup CD.” She has apparently been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention. (5) "你的 Windows 安装光盘出了问题"。她显然一直在打瞌睡，话音刚落就醒了过来，试图掩饰自己的不专心。
(6) It quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels. (6) 人们很快就发现，这名妇女并不是电脑技术人员。她的工作是把关，是技术人员的人肉盾牌。据我所知，她唯一的职责就是提高全球的压力水平。
(7) To make me disappear, the woman gave me the phone number for Windows’ creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don’t know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn’t have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite. (7) 为了让我消失，这位女士给了我 Windows 创建者微软公司的电话号码。这就像给别人北美的电话号码一样。此外，光盘还能用，只是我没有。无论我重复多少次，我们还是回到了原点。她很冷静，而且彬彬有礼。
(8) When my voice hit a certain decibel (分贝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician. (8) 当我的声音达到一定分贝时，我就像一个烫手的、易怒的土豆一样，被传给了技术人员。
(9) “You don’t have the Windows Setup CD, ma’am, because you don’t need it,” he explained cheerfully. “Windows came preinstalled on your computer!” (9) "女士，您没有 Windows 安装光盘，因为您不需要它，"他乐呵呵地解释道。"您的电脑已经预装了 Windows！"
(10) “But I do need it.” (10) "但我确实需要它"。
(11) “Yes, but you don’t have it.” We went on like this for a while. Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. “Of course, you’d lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos.” It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. “You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive.” He sounded delighted. “And it’s not covered by the warranty (产品保证书)!” The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full. (11) "是的，但你没有"我们就这样继续了一会儿。最后，他提出教我如何使用另一张光盘 这张光盘可以删除我的整个系统"当然，你会失去所有的电子邮件、文件和照片"这就像在我头上放一个保险箱来治疗我的头痛一样。"你也许能恢复它们，但代价不菲"他听起来很高兴。"而且不在产品保证书范围内！"保险箱似乎是个好主意，只要它是满的。
(12) I hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair place I’d heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldn’t be a problem. An hour later, he called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his. (12) 挂断电话后，我把电脑开到一家我听说过的友好的小修理店。一个聪明、乐于助人的人拿出一张 Windows 光盘，告诉我不会有问题。一小时后，他打电话告诉我已经修好了。我向他表示感谢，然后我们聊起了天气，我窗外的天气和他窗外的一样。

PASSAGE FOUR 通道四
(1) Not long ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mail slot. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn’t sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are rendered at 4 a.m., you can’t simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct. (1) 不久前，一张神秘的圣诞贺卡从我们家的邮筒里掉了出来。信封的收信人是一个叫拉乌尔的人，我比较确定他没有和我们住在一起。信封没有封口，所以我打开了它。卡片里面是空白的。我丈夫埃德解释说，卡片既是送报人寄来的，也是送给送报人的。他的名字显然是拉乌尔，拉乌尔想要节日小费。我们本打算在卡片里放一张支票，然后把信封投进邮筒。当你在凌晨四点提供服务时，你就不能像酒店服务员一样，只是在那里等着小费。你必须直接。
(2) So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks. (2) 于是，我给这个人写了一封漂亮的节日贺信，在我的想象中，他骑着自行车对着我们家的前门发射《纽约时报》，仅用新闻纸造成的噪音就比大多数人在黑市上用复杂的烟花制造的噪音还要大。
(3) With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4a.m4 \mathrm{a} . \mathrm{m}. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmases past. I honestly hadn’t realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he’d used the card tactic. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收取保护费的黑社会组织). (3) 我猛然意识到，也许唤醒我的不是一般的粗鲁，而是精心策划的怨恨：在过去的圣诞节里，我没有给拉乌尔小费。老实说，我并没有意识到我应该给小费。这是他第一次使用卡片战术。于是我拿出了支票簿。不知从什么时候开始，节日小费从对一年服务的可有可无的感谢，变成了黑手党式的收取保护费的黑社会组织。
(4) Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back from the curb when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn’t enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. “I know you don’t care how merry my Christmas is, and that’s fine,” the gesture said. “I want $30, or I’ll ‘forget’ to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day.” (4) 几天后，我把垃圾桶从路边拿回来时，发现其中一个桶盖上粘着一个信封。信封外面写着 MICKEY。这肯定又是一个小费请求，这次是我们的垃圾收集员给的。与拉乌尔不同的是，米奇没有附上我给他的圣诞贺卡。在某种程度上，我很欣赏他的直接。"我知道你不在乎我的圣诞有多快乐，这很好，"他的手势说。"我想要30美元，否则某个炎热的夏天 我会'忘记'清空你的垃圾桶"
(5) I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn’t yet been picked up: “Someone stole Mickey’s tip!” Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. (5) 我在信封里放了一张支票，然后把它贴回了垃圾箱。第二天早上，艾德发现信封不见了，虽然垃圾还没被收走："有人偷了米奇的小费！"艾德非常肯定地说。他让我给银行打电话，取消支票。
(6) But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. “Are you Mickey?” (6) 但是艾德错了。两周后，米奇在我们家的台阶上留下了一封银行来信。信中告诉米基，他试图兑现的支票已被取消。下周二早上，当埃德看到外面有辆卡车时，他拿着钱包跑了出去。"你是米奇吗？"
(7) The man looked at him with scorn. “Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling.” Not only had Ed insulted this man by hinting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole transaction. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. “Anyone else?” (7) 那人轻蔑地看了他一眼。"米奇是垃圾工。我是回收员"。埃德不仅侮辱了这个人，暗示他是垃圾工，而且显然还忽略了给他小费。艾德跑回屋里去拿更多的钱。这时，他发现卡车司机一直在注视着整个交易过程。他又剥下一张 20 块钱，环顾四周，在空中挥舞着钞票。"还有人吗？"
（8）Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing breach of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under “trash/recycling collectors” in the institute’s Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: " $10\$ 10 to $30\$ 30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your pet groomer, hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip. 8）如果我们查阅了艾米莉-波斯特研究所（Emily Post Institute）的网站，就可以避免这种令人尴尬的违反礼节的行为。在该研究所的《假日小费指南》中，"垃圾/回收收集者 "一栏写道：" $10\$ 10 至 $30\$ 30 每人"。您可能希望也可能不希望知道，您的宠物美容师、理发师、邮递员和 UPS 快递员都希望得到节日小费。
