Watching the U.S. economy 16 during the 90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology 17 . But how? In the late 90s, the answer schemed obvious: Indians. 18 all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would 19 Indians to Germany just as America does: by 20 green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and 21 that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. 22 , the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the 23 would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later 24 half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was 25 I told the German official at the time that I was sure the 26 would fail. Its not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, 27 I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American 28 ). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued, 29 it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost 30 path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official 31 my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “We need young tech workers,” he said. “Thats what this program is all 32 .” So Germany was asking bright young 33 to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange landbut without any 34 of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was 35 received in India and other countries, and also by Germanys own immigrant community.16. A) soarB) hoverC) amplifyD) intensify17.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1注意：每題1分，請(qǐng)將答案寫(xiě)在答題卡1上。Text 1The Greek word “systema” means union, and scientists use the word “system” to describe a collection of several components that are linked to one another by functional relationships. Everything outside the system is known as the surroundings. Most scientific literature is a description of the components of a system, their relationships with one another, and their relationships with other systems. Although each science has its own systems with their own subject matter and networks of relationships, the formal characteristics of systems are similar for all sciences. The scientific called general systems theory formulates principles that are valid for systems in general, no matter the elements involved and the relations or forces among them. Systems can be divided into two types: closed systems and open systems. A closed system receives no supply of energy from outside and transfers no energy outwards. An open system receives energy from its surroundings and transfers it out again. A closed system is isolated from its surroundings. The energy supply of a closed system is limited and is progressively used up by the processes operating within the system. The ability of the system to function decreases as the available energy is exhausted. Without any additional energy supplied from the outside, the systems processes stop altogether and no further change is possible in the system. A mill wheel supplied with water from a non-refillable container is a closed system. Once the container of water is empty, the wheel no longer turns because there is no water to turn it. In a truly closed system, the water would have to be collected below the mill wheel in a second container to ensure that the system did not supply any energy to the outside. Some scientists argue that there are few truly closed systems in nature, and many define closed systems more broadly as those allowing energy but not mass to cross the system boundary. By this definition, the Earth system as a whole is a closed system. The boundary of the Earth system is the outer edge of the atmosphere, and except for the occasional meteorite, virtually no mass is exchanged between the Earth system and the rest of the universe. However, energy in the form of solar radiation passes from the sun, through the atmosphere to the Earths surface, which in turn radiates energy back out to space across the system boundary. Hence, energy passes across the Earths system boundary, but mass does not, making it a closed system. In an open system, energy and mass can be transferred between the system and its surroundings. Living organisms are open systems. They absorb light energy or chemical energy in the form of organic molecules and release heat and metabolic waste products, such as carbon dioxide, to the surrounding. Generally, relationships exist between the components of a system and its surroundings, that is, other systems. Each open system is part of a larger system that receives and gives off energy. In an open system, the energy is continually resupplied from sources outside the system. In the example of the mill wheel, if the no-refillable water container is replaced by a reservoir fed continuously by a stream, it becomes an open system because the energy supply is renewed from the outside. The natural environment is made up of open systems. These can behave as closed systems temporarily if the energy supply is halted for a period. If, for example, the stream to the reservoir supplying the mill dries up for a long period, the energy consumption of the mill wheel cannot be balanced by new energy supply. The water in the reservoir is used up, and if the dry period is long enough, the mill wheel stops turning. Eventually, the stream may flow again, filling the reservoir and turning the mill wheel again. This occurs because the stream-reservoir-mill system is itself a part of the Earths much larger systems of water circulation and water budget, which include condensation, precipitation, run-off, and evaporation. The water systems receive their energy supply from the Earths heat budget, which in turn receives its energy supply from the suns radiation. 36. According to the passage, the concept of systems involves all of the following EXCEPTA. the components of a collectionB. the functional relationships among partsC. the links between different systemsD. the origin of the scientific method37. Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 1? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A. Every science has a unique set of systems with characteristics and relationships that do not exist in any other science.B. The subject matter of systems is the same for all sciences, but the structure of system relationships can vary. C. System components and relationships differ for each science, yet systems in all sciences share similar properties. D. It is difficult to distinguish one system from another because all systems in all sciences have similar characteristics.38. In paragraph 3, the author discusses the example of a mill wheel to illustrate what point about closed systems?A. The energy supply of a closed system is limited.B. Closed systems are rare in the natural environment.C. The Earth system as whole is a closed system.D. Closed systems get energy from their surroundings.39. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that living organisms_A. are part of a system that receives and gives off energyB. can transfer energy but not mass across the system boundaryC. do not have functional relationships with their surroundingsD. can survive in a closed system only if there is a water supply40. Which of the following statements can be inferred from paragraph 6?A. If a mill wheel stops turning, it will not start again until the following year.B. The mill wheel is temporarily a closed system during long dry periods. C. Condensation, precipitation, run-off, and evaporation act as closed systems.D. The Earths heat budget is a closed system because its energy supply is limited.Text 2Communication technology influences the ways in which we think about the world. It changes the things we think about, the symbols we use to form and communicate ideas, and the arenas in which our thoughts develop. In the history of communication, there have been many revolutionary technologies, among them the printing press in the fifteenth century and electronic media in the nineteenth century. The development of writing was a major advancement in the ability to communicate over distances and to preserve information accurately. Writing conveyed knowledge of the arts and sciences, which provided foundations for other areas of investigation. However, before books and the printing press, written language was limited to a few clay tablets and parchment scrolls. It was not until books became available that writing made a major impact. For centuries, books were rare and expensive because each one was handwritten, a process that took several months. The printing press with movable type made it possible to produce hundreds of copies of a book in a single day. The invention of the printing press in 1450 launched a new era in the technology of communication. The printing press opened to large groups of people a body of information that had previously been confined to the educated few. The printing press brought books to the common people, increasing the ranks of the literate. Rapid expansion of the arts and sciences and the use of printed materials required a higher level of education. Education became a formalized institution, and children earned adulthood by achieving literacy. The proliferation of books and reading changed how people thought and what they thought about. Reading entailed the linear organization of ideas, stimulating abstract thought and reasoning. The ability to read required a significant increase in a persons attention span, resulting in a higher degree of intellectual discipline. Higher rates of literacy led society to a broader, more global perspective.Another significant revolution in communication technology began in the nineteenth century with the advent of electronic media. The invention of the telegraph in 1843 signaled a new ear in communication technology, the electronic ear-so called because the telegraph used electrical signals to carry information along an electrical wire. The telegraph fed societys growing appetite for immediate access to information, and it provided a foundation for successive technologies: the telephone in 1876, the phonograph in 1878, film and movies in the 1890s, radio in 1919, and television in 1925.As with the earliest handwritten books, radio technology was at first restricted to the educated few, scientists and researchers, but later spread to the greater society. By the 1930s, the middle classes were listening to news, drama, comedy, and musical performances from thousands of miles away. Radio was the first mass broadcast medium and, together with television a few decades later, its was responsible for altering both the pattern and volume of information that flowed into peoples homes. The invention of electronic media changed communication more than any other technological event since the development of writing. The spread of electronic media occurred with a speed never seen before, thus intensifying commercial and social interaction. There was a tremendous shift in how people received the information that contributed to their understanding of the world. Voices or pictures could create ideas that appeared authentic - more so than ideas conveyed by the printed word. The graphic, intensely human nature of electronic media enhanced the belief that if it was on the air, it had to be true.41.Which of the following statements can be inferred from paragraph 1 about history of communication?A. Certain advances in technology have greatly changed communication. B. People have both loved and feared new developments in technology.C. We do not know what people thought about before modern technologyD. The history of modern com
