40、 air.IV. Proofreading (10%) (see “Answer Sheet”)V Reading comprehension (25%)Passage 1Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has. There is nothing more enervating than not succeedingbeing blocked, not moving ahead. It is a vicious circle. Failure breeds fatigue, and the fati

41、gue makes it harder to get to work, which compounds the failure. We experience this tiredness in two main ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task that we are under some compulsions to discharge. Either because it is too tedious or because it

42、is too difficult, we shirk it. And the longer we postpone it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The remedy is obvious, though perhaps not easy to apply, an exertion of will power. The moment I find mysel

43、f turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of other things I have to do, I clear my desk of every thing else and attach the objectionable item first. To prevent start-up fatigue, always tackle the most difficult job first. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Here we are not r

44、eluctant to get started but we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear insurmountable and however hard we work, we fail again and again. The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a situation, I work as hard as I canthen l

46、. tiredness B. performance fatigue C. start-up fatigue D. unconsciousness3. To overcome start-up fatigue, we need _. A. toughness B. prevention C. muscles D. strong willpower4. The word “insurmountable” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. that cannot be solved B. that cannot be understoodC. t

47、hat cannot be imagined D. that cannot be objected5. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true?A.It is easier to overcome start-up fatigueB.Performance fatigue occurs when the job we are willing to take gets blocked.C.One will finally succeed after experiencing the viciou

48、s circleD.Fatigue often accompanies failurePassage 2Every minute of every day, what ecologist James Carlton- an oceanographer at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. - calls a global conveyor belt redistributes ocean organisms. Its planet wide biological disruption that scientists have barely beg

49、un to understand. These creatures move from coastal waters where they fit into the local web of life to places where some of them could tear that web apart. This is the larger dimension of the infamous invasion of fish-destroying, pipe-clogging zebra mussels.What concerns Carlton and his fellow mari

50、ne ecologists is the lack of knowledge about the hundreds of alien invaders that quietly enter coastal waters around the world every day. Whats new is the scale and speed of the migrations made possible by the massive volume of ship-ballast water, continuously moving around the worldShips load up wi

51、th ballast water and its inhabitants in coastal waters of one port and dump the ballast in another port that may be thousands of kilometers away. A single load can run to hundreds of gallons. Some larger ships take on as much as 40 million gallons. The creatures that come along tend to be in their l

52、arva freefloating stage. When discharged in alien waters they can mature into crabs, jellyfish, slugs, and many other forms.Since the problem involves coastal species, simply banning ballast dumps in coastal waters would, in theory, solve it. Coastal organisms in ballast water that is flushed into m

53、idocean would not survive. Such a ban has worked for North American Inland Waterway. But it would be hard to enforce it worldwide. Heating ballast water or straining it should also halt the species spread. But before any such worldwide regulations were imposed, scientists would need a clearer view o

54、f what is going on.The continuous shuffling of marine organisms has changed the biology of the sea on a global scale. It can have devastating effects as in the case of the American comb jellyfish that recently invaded the Black Sea. It has destroyed that seas anchovy fishery by eating anchovy eggs.

55、It may soon spread to western and northern European waters.The maritime nations that created the biological conveyor belt should support a coordinated international effort to find out what is going on and what should be done about it.6. According to Dr. Carlton, ocean organisms are _.A. being moved

56、to new environments.B. destroying the planet.C. succumbing to the zebra mussel.D. developing alien characteristics.7. Oceanographers are concerned because _.A. their knowledge of this phenomenon is limited.B. they believe the oceans are dying.C. they fear an invasion from outer-space.D. they have id

57、entified thousands of alien webs.8. It can be inferred from the article that banning ballast dumps in coastalwaters proved successful in _.A. North American Inland WaterwayB. the globeC. EuropeD. America9. According to Marine ecologists, transplanted marine species _.A. are all compatible with one a

58、nother.B. may upset the ecosystems of coastal waters. C. can only survive in their home waters.D. sometimes disrupt shipping lanes.10. The identified cause of the problem is _.A. the rapidity with which larvae mature.B. a common practice of the shipping industry.C. a centuries old species.D. the wor

59、ld wide movement of ocean currents.11. The article suggests that a solution to the problem _.A. is unlikely to be identified.B. must precede further research.C. is hypothetically easy.D. will limit global shipping.Passage 3The United Nation Conference on Drug Abuse that took place earlier this year

60、in Vienna, was a very productive meeting. As never before, the nations of the world demonstrated a willingness to put aside ideological and individual differences to confront a common threat.Most previous international gatherings on this subject have not seen the same intensity of delegate interest.
