Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:
Motorola Inc., the world‘s second-largest mobile phone maker, will begin selling all of the technology needed to build a basic mobile phone to outside manufacturers, in a key change of strategy. The inventor of the cell phone, which has been troubled by missteps compounded by a recent industry slump in sales, is trying to become a neutral provider of mobile technology to rivals, with an eye toward fostering a much larger market than it could create itself. The Chicago area-based company, considered to have the widest range of technologies needed to build a phone, said it planned to make available chips, a design layout for the computer board, software, development tools and testing tools. Motorola has previously supplied mobile phone manufacturers with a couple of its chips, but this is the first time the company will offer its entire line of chips as well as a detailed blueprint. Mobile phones contain a variety of chips and components to control power, sound and amplification. Analysts said they liked the new strategy but were cautious about whether Motorola’s mobile phone competitors would want to buy the technology from a rival.
The company, long known for its top-notch(等级) engineering culture, is hoping to profit from its mobile phone technology now that the basic technology to build a mobile phone has largely become a commodity. Motorola said it will begin offering the technology based on the next-generation GPRS (Global Packet Radio Service) standard because most mobile phone makers already have technology in place for current digital phones. GPRS is a stepping stone to the next generation of mobile phone service known as third-generation. GPRS offers faster access to data through ``always on‘’ network connections, and customers are charged only for the information they retrieve, rather than the length of download.
Burgess said the new business will not conflict with Motorola‘s own mobile phone business because the latter will remain competitive by offering advanced features and designs. Motorola’s phones have been criticized as being too complicated and expensive to manufacture, but Burgess said Motorola will simplify the technology in the phones by a third. In addition to basic technology, Burgess said, Motorola would also offer additional features such as Bluetooth, a technology that allows wireless communications at a short distance, and Global Positioning System, which tracks the user‘s whereabouts, and MP3 audio capability.
41. According to this passage, Motorola Inc. _______.
A. is the world‘s largest mobile phone maker
B. is trying to become a mobile technology provider besides being a mobile phone maker
C. will only sell chips of the mobile phones
D. is going to sell all its manufacturing plants
42. Analysts don‘t think that _____.
A. Motorola will be successful
B. the technology offered by Motorola will be selected by its competitors
C. its competitors will want to buy the technology from it
D. its mobile phones contain a variety of chips
43. The technology supplied by Motorola is based on ______.
A. Bluetooth features
B. MP3 audio capability
C. Global Positioning System
D. GPRS standard
44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. GPRS offers faster access to data through network connections, so customers should pay more.
B. Motorola Inc. is the inventor of the cell phone.
C. Previously Motorola only supplied mobile phone manufacturers with some of its chips.
D. Motorola Inc. is known for its high-class engineering culture
Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:
For companies that already rely on MSN Messenger for business, the length of the outage(线路中断) has dealt them a heavy blow. Jean-Luc Praz, a freelance Web designer from Chile, said, “MSN Messenger is an important part of my business, with customers located very far from my office.” The outage affected an online meeting with a customer “in his office 12,000 kilometers away from me,” he said. “I find it pretty amazing that a company like Microsoft with an army of software engineers is not able to fix a problem in a service three days after it appeared.”
Wes Thierry, who in San Leandro, Calif., works for a division of Salt Lake City-based Evans and Sutherland, said the outage has caused hardship. “We decided on using the messenger about three months ago,” he said. “Our group consists of about 30 people, most of which are software engineers, and messaging allows us the ability to quickly ask simple questions without necessarily having to distract people with phone calls all of the time.” Six workers in the San Francisco Bay Area also rely on MSN Messenger to get “that real office feeling,” he added.
Andrzej Bania, who works for an Internet media design company in London, said Microsoft‘s lack of communication about the service interruption is frustrating. “The problem is that the lack of feedback means that we do not know if they have been hacked, suffered serious hardware failure, (or) are upgrading in preparation for integrating messaging services for Xbox, etc.”
Zurek believes that no matter how great the customer frustration, MSN Messenger should be fully operational soon. “Microsoft has smart people. I‘m optimistic they’ll get this solved,” he said.
Still, the MSN Messenger outage leaves questions unanswered. Many people reported a string of secondary problems, such as the inability to access Hotmail accounts, lost MSN Calendar data, or the inability to download software from the Microsoft Developer Network Web site.
Zurek said that no company should expect rock-solid reliability out of instant messaging, because the technology isn‘t designed to deliver the security many businesses depend on. “Companies that are operating on public networks are going to run into these issues, and people are going to have to bear with it,” he said. “People have to know what they’re getting into. You lose your buddy list; you have to get used to it. It‘s like if you’re in California, and the power goes off; you just don‘t have a lot of control over that.”
45. The passage offers all the following examples from various people EXCEPT _______ to show that the outage of MSN Messenger annoyed many customers.
A. Jean-Luc Praz B. Wes Thierry C. Andrzej Bania D. Zurek
46. Wes Thierry mentioned that six workers in the San Francisco Bay Area also rely on MSN Messenger to get “that real office feeling,”in order to show that ______.
A. MSN was of great help to them
B. MSN should compensate more for their lost
C. MSN is favored by everybody
D. Because his company had greatly depended on MSN Messenger, it suffered great hardship when MSN outage occurred.
47. About MSN outage, Andrzej Bania wondered maybe it‘s because ________.
A. of Microsoft‘s lack of communication facilities
B. of its hardware failure, or being hacked, or upgrading the system
C. MSN people are not smart
D. the MSN Messenger outage leaves questions unanswered
48. According to Zurek ________.
A. every company should try to deliver the security many businesses depend on
B. customers shouldn‘t blame MSN
C. customers shouldn‘t totally depend on the solid reliability of instant messaging
D. power always goes off in California
Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:
In a democratic society citizens are encouraged to form their own opinions on candidates for public office, taxes, constitutional amendments, environmental concerns, foreign policy, and other issues. The opinions held by any population are shaped and manipulated by several factors: individual circumstances, the mass media, special interest groups, and opinion leaders.
Wealthy people tend to think differently on social issues from poor people. Factory workers probably do not share the same views as white-collar or nonunion workers. Women employed outside their homes sometimes have perspectives different from those of full-time homemakers. In these and other ways individual status shapes one‘s view of current events.
The mass media, especially television, are powerful influences on the way people think and act. Government officials note how mail from the public tends to“follow the headlines.”Whatever is featured in newspapers and magazines and on television attracts enough attention that people begin to inform themselves and to express opinions.
The mass media have also created larger audiences for government and a wider range of pubic issues than existed before. Prior to television and the national editions of newspapers, issues and candidates tended to remain localized. In Great Britain and West Germany, for example, elections to the national legislatures were usually viewed by voters as local contests. Today‘s elections are seen as struggles between party leaders and programs. In the United States radio and television have been beneficial to the presidency. Since the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his“fireside chats,”presidents have appealed directly to a national audience over the heads of Congress to advocate their programs.
Special groups spend vast sums annually trying to influence public opinion. Public utilities, for instance, tried to sway public opinion in favor of nuclear power plants. Opposed to them were citizens‘ organizations that lobbied to halt the use of nuclear power. During the 1960s the American Medical Association conducted an unsuccessful advertising campaign designed to prevent the passage of medicare(医疗保险)。
Opinion leaders are usually such prominent public figures as politicians, show business personalities, and celebrity athletes. The opinions of these individuals, whether informed and intelligent or not, carry weight with some segments of the population. Some individuals, such as Nobel prizewinners, are suddenly thrust into public view by the media. By quickly reaching a large audience, their views gain a hearing and are perhaps influential in shaping views on complex issues.
49. The second paragraph is mainly about _____ .
A.the influence of gender on people‘s view
B.the influence of people‘s status on their view
C.the influence of living standard on people‘s view
D.the influence of different ranks on people‘s view
50. The expression“follow the headlines”shows _____ .
A.people seldom have time to read newspaper articles
B.people think the headlines contain the most important information
C.people often get their opinions from newspapers or television
D.most people look on newspapers or TV as misleading
51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.TV programs have a strong influence on governmental policy.
B.Chats on televisions are chief means for running for presidency.
C.More and more people show interest in politics because of TV.
D.Before the use of TV, people showed little interest in politics.
52. The phrase“show business personalities”in the last paragraph refers _____ .
A.important characteristics of show business
B.entertainment industry
C.public figures
D.famous people in the field of entertainment
Questions 53 to 55 are based on the following passage:
More than one-third of U.S. employees who browse the Web and use e-mail at work have their Internet use systematically monitored by their employers, a privacy group said on Monday. The Privacy Foundation found employee monitoring to be growing rapidly, spurred by the cheap price of surveillance software and concerns about productivity and sexual-harassment liability. The study found that of the 40 million U.S. workers who have Internet access in the office, 14 million, or 35 percent, are constantly monitored by their employers. Worldwide, 27 million of the 100 million with Internet access were monitored.
Unlike earlier studies of workplace surveillance, which were based on questionnaires or surveys, the Privacy Foundation based its numbers on sales figures of monitoring software such as Websense Inc. and Baltimore Technologies Inc.‘s Minesweeper. Surveillance software allows employers to monitor and record the Internet activity of an entire office, not just workers engaging in suspicious or potentially damaging behavior.
Federal law gives employers broad latitude to monitor their workers‘ activities, especially when they are using company computers or other equipment. While the software may be cheap —— as low as $5.25 per employee —— its low cost and ease of use makes it easy for companies to overstep personal boundaries, said report author Andrew Schulman, chief researcher at the Privacy Foundation’s Workplace Surveillance Project. ``We don‘t have cameras up in all the bathrooms to see how long people are taking to sit on the john,’‘ Schulman said. Schulman said employers should give workers clear notice that their actions may be monitored, and allow them to access their records to see what information about them has been collected.
Ironically, while many companies use monitoring software to prevent employee misdeeds that might lead to sexual-harassment suits, the detailed Web logs and e-mail databases might prove a liability in other lawsuits, Schulman said. For example, the U.S. government was able to subpoena(传唤) internal Microsoft Corp. e-mail messages and use them to its advantage in its antitrust suit against the software maker. ``I don‘t know if companies have thought through these implications,’‘ Schulman said.
53. The word“surveillance”can be replaced by another word“_______”in the passage.
A. privacy
B. liability
C. monitoring
D. questionnaires
54. The difference between the Privacy Foundation‘s study and earlier studies of workplace surveillance lie in that _______.
A. the former is only about workplace surveillance
B. the Privacy Foundation bases its study on sales figures of monitoring software
C. earlier studies asked monitoring software companies to fill in some questionnaires
D. earlier studies asked monitoring software companies to fill in some questionnaires or surveys
55.Which of the following is NOT a reason of company‘s widely using monitoring software?
A. The price of the software is low.
B. The software is easy to be used.
C. The software can help to prevent employees‘misdeeds.
D. The software might prove a liability in some lawsuits in favor of the government.
Section B
Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then give short answers to the five questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.
AOL Time Warner Inc., the world‘s largest Internet and media company, said on Thursday that it is creating an interactive video division. The new unit will pool together AOL Time Warner’s interests in Internet, cable, television, film and publishing to offer interactive television services —— a mix of television and the Internet that includes services such as video on demand.
``It‘s almost the reason for the AOL Time Warner merger,’‘ AOL Time Warner Chief Executive Gerald Levin told Reuters in an interview. In one form or another interactive TV, or ``ITV’‘ as it is being called, has been talked about since the 1970s, but only in recent few years have iTV systems slowly made their way into homes as new digital set-top boxes have made it a reality. ``What AOL Time Warner is trying to do is take five or six related services …… and they are trying to operate them in a converged, integrated way,’‘ said Lanny Baker, analyst at Salomon Smith Barney. Joseph Collins, the current chief executive at Time Warner Cable, will be chairman of the new interactive video division. Glenn Britt, currently president of Time Warner Cable, will replace Collins as chief executive. Shares of AOL Time Warner were up 20 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $39.90 on Thursday afternoon.
Currently, most interactive services are limited to pay-per-view movies and interactive program guides, but on some systems viewers can watch shows from different camera angles, search program or actor information, or find out more about a product being advertised and how to purchase it.
Indeed, this last application, is considered to be one of the Holy Grails(圣杯) of interactive TV because advertisers can identify potential customers, and cable operators hope to charge money for each contact their systems generate. ``You can‘t think of interactive TV as a single umbrella. There is a huge range of interactive services that don’t generate revenues,‘’ said Yankee Group analyst Adi Kishore.
Over the longer term, analysts expect the market to be huge. For example, video-on-demand, which allows digital cable TV subscribers to view television programs or movies when they want with the click of a remote control, is expected to grow to $2 billion in revenues by 2005, according to Kishore. He expects there to be between 2.5 million and 3 million video-on-demand subscribers by year end, up from 1 million a year earlier.
Services have already started in Austin, Texas; Tampa, Florida; and Honolulu, Hawaii. AOL Time Warner cable programmer HBO is testing subscription video-on-demand in Columbia, South Carolina. Although AOL Time Warner‘s announcement on Thursday marks another step in the development of the interactive television arena, analysts said they didn’t expect the move to transform the market. ``I certainly don‘t anticipate some earth-shattering changes in the industry because of this,’‘ Kishore said. ``It’s a natural move in the industry.‘’
56. What is the full form of“iTV”?
57. What made it possible for iTV systems entering people‘s home?
58. From the rise of the shares of AOL Time Warner on Thursday, what can be inferred about people‘s view of iTV?
59. In the last paragraph“arena”means ______.
60. Did AOL Time Warner start its iTV services?

PART V English-Chinese Translation (15%)
Directions: In this part there is a passage in English. Translate the five sentences underlined into Chinese and write your translation on the Answer Sheet.
You must have heard about General Motors. But do you know that in 1973, the annual sales of GM were actually greater than the combined GNP of Switzerland, Pakistan and South Africa? Yes, corporations such as GM, IBM, and ITT are extremely powerful. In fact the combined physical assets of all global corporations were estimated at more than $200 billion. And that was more than twenty years ago. Today their power has greatly increased, and is still growing. 71. So much so, that some observers believe that by the end of this century, the 300 largest corporations will account for more than half of the world‘s industrial production.
The most commonly used term for this type of transnational organization is“multinational corporation”。 It does not mean that they are all transnational in personnel. The top level of management usually comes predominantly from one country. In most cases, the country is clearly identifiable as the home country. GM for example, is based in the United States. So are the others mentioned above. What makes them multinational is the scope of their operations. 72. They manufacture and sell their products where it is most profitable, by passing the formal boundaries of states as much as they can and dealing with the governments of states as little as they can. Being“multinational”, they have little loyalty toward any one country. When their interests conflict with the political interests of a country, they will always put their business interest first. To them, political boundaries are irrelevant to the business of selling automobiles or coca Cola. 73. The chair of Dow Chemical Company(陶氏化学公司) once expressed the wish that he could buy an island owned by no nation, on which to establish his World Headquarters so that the corporation could be truly on neutral ground
74.Today there is widespread agreement that multinational corporations will have an important effect on international relations and world economy. But there is little agreement on exactly what that effect will be. There are those who see them as benevolent and those who see hem as evil……
Among those who see multinational corporations as benevolent, many emphasize their importance in helping reduce the gap between rich countries and poor ones. 75. These business giants are referred to as“engines of development”, because it is claimed that they do more to improve the economic life in less developed countries than all governmental foreign aid programs have ever done. By setting up factories abroad, they provide jobs; by equipping these factories with the latest machines and equipment, they make available the most modern technology. Because goods are now produced within the less developed countries, there is less need for them to import from abroad, and their balance of payments will improve.
