11、s sure that I had found at last the one true cosmopolite since Adam, and I listened to his worldwide discourse fearful lest I should discover in it the local note of the mere globe-trotter. But his opinions never fluttered or drooped: he was as impartial to cities, countries and continents as the wi

12、nds or gravitation. And as E. Rushmore Coglan prattled of this little planet I thought with glee of a great almost-cosmopolite who wrote for the whole world and dedicated himself to Bombay. In a poem he has to say that there is pride and rivalry between the cities of the earth, and that "the me

15、)Expression on these subjects was precipitated from E. Rushmore Coglan by the third corner to our table. While Coglan was describing to me the topography along the Siberian Railway the orchestra glided into a medley. The concluding air was "Dixie", and as the exhilarating notes tumbled for

17、I was jarred into silence.(5)"Excuse me," said he, "but that s a question I never like to hear asked. What does it matter where a man is from? Is it fair to judge a man by his post-office address? Why, I ve seen Kentuckians who hated whiskey, Virginians who weren t descended from Poca

18、hontas, Indianians who hadn t written a novel, Mexicans who didn t wear velvet trousers with silver dollars sewed along the seams, funny Englishmen, spendthrift Yankees, cold-blooded Southerners, narrow-minded Westerners, and New Yorkers who were too busy to stop for an hour on the street to watch a

23、; I said admiringly. "But it also seems that you would decry patriotism. "(9)"A relic of the stone age," declared Coglan, warmly. "We are all brothers Chinamen, Englishmen, Zulus, Patagonians and the people in the bend of the Kaw River. Some day all this petty pride in one s

35、hould decide on the best choice.(1)Britain s economy will lose momentum this year amid squeezed living standards and uncertainty over Brexit and the inconclusive election result, leading ratings agencies have predicted.(2)Moody s said the qualms about talks in Brussels and the minority government ha

36、ve increased the U. K. s political and financial risks. Analysts at the ratings agency said the U. K. economy has started to slow and they expect it to weaken considerably throughout the rest of the year, adding that it was unclear if the government could deliver a "reasonably good" Brexit

37、 deal.(3)Moody s said the government appeared to be pursuing objectives pointing towards a hard exit and said growth prospects over the medium term could be "materially weaker" if the U. K. fails to sign a trade deal allowing access to the single market. Kathrin Muehlbronner, a senior vice

38、 president at Moody's, said: "The likelihood of an abrupt and damaging exitwith no agreement and reversion to World Trade Organization trading rules has increased compared to our expectation after the referendum, with the government so far pursuing objectives that imply a hard exit. "(

39、4)Weaker public finances could lead to a "further delay in reversing the rising tend of public debt", the agency warned in a report. However, it said the Bank of England s credibility should ensure financial stability, with exchange rate flexibility giving support for exports.(5)Another ra

40、tings agency, Standard & Poor s, also predicted a fall in the U. K. s growth rate from 1.8% in 2016 to 1.4% in 2017 and 0.8% in 2018adding that the outlook might beeven worse if the Brexit talks between Britain and the EU go badly.(6)Despite speculation of an increase in interest rates from the

41、Bank of England next month, S & P said the weakness of the economy would result in borrowing costs being left on hold at 0.25% for another two years. S & P s senior economist, Boris Glass, said: "Given demand weakness, the temporary nature of imported inflation, moderate domestic wage p

42、ressures, and Brexit uncertainties, we expect the Bank of England s current ultra-accommodative stance to continue over the medium term and expect a first rate hike to occur only in mid-2019."(7)S&P said the better-than-predicted performance of the economy in 2016 had been the result of &qu

44、e an upward effect on earnings, which are currently growing by just over 2% a year. Inflation as measured by the consumer prices index is running at 2.9% , while the retail prices index is 3. 7% .(9)The depreciation of the pound would make U. K. exports more competitive but would only add between 0.

45、2 and 0.3 percentage points to growth from 2017 to 2020. S&P said a study of the data showed that some U. K. exporters had taken advantage of the fall in sterling to raise their prices rather than to break into new markets. The agency said that while the price increases were to some extent a mat

46、ter of choice, they were likely to have been necessary for firms that relied on imports which had become more expensive as a result of the falling exchange rate. With firms making Brexit contingency plans, investment was being shelved rather than given the go-ahead.(10)"Our forecasts for slower

47、 growth are subject to considerable downside risks, stemming mainly from Brexit uncertainties," Glass said. " For example, the staging of the negotiations, with the ' divorce settlement being negotiated before any future relationship with the EU is addressed, means that should the sepa

48、ration negotiations stall, there would be less time left for negotiating the future trade relationship, risking a cliff edge. " In general, should negotiations stall for an extended period, this could translate into a further significant depreciation of sterling and a consequent rise in inflati

50、 of trade with Europe would force the U. K. to shift away from producing things it s been relatively good at, and therefore export to the EU, and towards the things it currently imports and is relatively less good at. "(12)A number of MPC members including the governor, Mark Carney, and the Ban

51、k s chief economist, Andy Haldane have given their views on the outlook for borrowing costs in recent months. Broadbent voted for official interest rates to remain on hold at the MPC s last meeting in June and his failure to mention monetary policy was seen by the City as a sign that he will vote th

56、ON。MIN)Directions: In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.(1)For some women, enrolling in an engineering course is like running a psycholog

57、ical gauntlet. If they dodge overt problems like sexual harassment, sexist jokes, or poor treatment from professors, they often still have to evade subtler obstacles like the implicit tendency to see engineering as a male discipline. It s no wonder Women in the U. S. hold just 13 to 22 percent of th

58、e doctorates in engineering, compared to an already-low 33 percent in the sciences as a whole.(2)Nilanjana Dasgupta, from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, thinks that mentors people who can give advice, share experiences, or make social connections can dismantle the gauntlet, and help you

59、ng women to find their place in an often hostile field.(3)In a year-long studyone of the strongest yet to look at the value of mentorship Dasgupta showed that female engineering undergraduates who are paired with a female mentor felt more motivated, more self-assured, and less anxious than those who had either no mentor or a male one. They were less likely to drop out of their courses, and keener to look for engineering jobs after they graduated. "Often, science is messy and things don t turn out neatly," Dasgupta says. But in this study, "it was very gratifying how
