[A]①The first and more important is the consumer’s growing preference for eating out：the consumption of food and drink in places other than homes has risen from about32percent of total consumption in1995to35percent in2000and is expected to approach38percent by2005.②This development is boosting wholesale demand from the food service segment by4to5percent a year Europe compared with growth in retail demand of1to2percent.③Meanwhile as the recession is looming large, people are getting anxious.④They tend to keep a tighter hold on their purse and consider eating at home a realistic alternative.
[B]①Retail sales of food and drink in Europe’s largest markets are at a standstill,leaving European grocery retailers hungry for opportunities to grow.②Most leading retailers have already tried e-commerce, with limit success,and expansion abroad.③But almost all have ignored the big,profitable opportunity in their own backyard：the wholesale food and drink trade,which appears to be just the kind of market retailers need.
[C]①Will such variations bring about a change in the overall structure of the food and drink market? Definitely not.②The functioning of the market is based on flexible trends dominated by potential buyers.
③In other words,it is up to the buyer rather than the seller to decide what to buy.④At any rate this change will ultimately be acclaimed by an ever-growing number of both domestic and international consumers regardless of how long the current consumer pattern will take hold.
[D]①All in all,this clearly seems to be a market in which big retailers could profitably apply their gigantic scale,existing infrastructure,and proven skills in the management of product ranges,logistics,and marketing intelligence.②Retailers that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe may well expect to rake in substantial profits there by.③At least,that is how it looks as a whole.④Closer inspection reveals import differences among the biggest national markets,especially in their customer segments and wholesale structures,as well as the competitive dynamics of individual food and drink categories.⑤Big retailers must understand these differences before they can identify the segments of European wholesaling in which particular abilities might unseat smaller but entrenched competitors.⑥New skills and unfamiliar business models are needed too.
[E]①Despite variations in detail,wholesale markets in the countries that have been closely examined—France,Germany,Italy,and Spain—are made out of same building blocks.②Demand comes mainly from two sources:independent mom-and-pop grocery stores which,unlike large retail chains,are too
small to buy straight from producers,and food service operators that cater to consumers when they don’t eat at home.③Such food service operators range from snack machines to large institutional catering ventures, but most of these businesses are known in the trade as“horeca”:hotels,restaurants,and cafes.④Overall, Europe’s wholesale market for food and drink is growing at the same sluggish pace as the retail market,but the figures,when added together,masks two opposing trends.
[F]①For example,wholesale food and drink sales come to$268billion in France,Germany,Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom in2000-more than40percent of retail sales.②Moreover,average overall margins are higher in wholesale than in retail;wholesale demand from the food service sector is growing quickly as more Europeans eat out more often;and changes in the competitive dynamics of this fragmented industry are at last making it feasible for wholesalers to consolidate.
[G]However,none of these requirements should deter large retails and even some large good producers and existing wholesalers from trying their hand,for those that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe stand to reap considerable gains.

[A]①No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm as the humanities.②You can, Mr Menand points out,became a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four.③But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years.④Not surprisingly,up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their degrees.
[B]①His concern is mainly with the humanities:Literature,languages,philosophy and so on.②These are disciplines that are going out of style:22%of American college graduates now major in business compared with only2%in history and4%in English.③However,many leading American universities want their undergraduates to have a grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses.
④But most find it difficult to agree on what a“general education”should look like.⑤At Harvard,Mr Menand notes,“the great books are read because they have been read”-they form a sort of social glue. [C]①Equally unsurprisingly,only about half end up with professorships for which they entered graduate school.②There are simply too few posts.③This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs.④But fewer students want to study humanities subjects.⑤English departments awarded more bachelor’s degrees in1970-71than they did20years later.⑥Fewer students requires fewer teachers.⑦So at the end of a decade of thesis-writing,many humanities students leave the profession to do something for which they have not been trained.
[D]①One reason why it is hard to design and teach such courses is that they can cut across the insistence by top American universities that liberal-arts educations and professional education should be kept separate, taught in different schools.②Many students experience both varieties.③Although more than half of Harvard undergraduates end up in law,medicine or business,future doctors and lawyers,they must study a non-specialist liberal-arts degree before embarking on a professional qualification.
[E]①Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation,top American universities have professionalised the professor.②The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose fourfold between1960and1990,but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll.③Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career:as late as1969a third of American professors did not possess one.④But the key idea behind professionalisation,argues Mr Menand,is that“the knowledge and skills needed for a particular specialization are transmissible but not transferable.”⑤So disciplines acquire a monopoly not just over the production of knowledge,but also over the production of the producers of knowledge.
[F]①The key to reforming higher education,concludes Mr.Menand,is to alter the way in which“the producers of knowledge are produced.”②Otherwise,academics will continue to think dangerously alike, increasingly detached from the societies which they study,investigate and criticize.”③“Academic inquiry, at least in some fields,may need to become less exclusionary and more holistic.”④Yet quite how that happens,Mr Menand does not say.
[G]①The subtle and intelligent little book The Marketplace of Ideas:Reform and Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking of applying to take a doctoral degree.②They may then decide to go elsewhere.③For something curious has been happening in American Universities, and Louis Menand,a professor of English at Harvard University,captured it skillfully.

3①(41)________.In1997he lost$21,000to one slot machine in two days.In March1997he lost $72,186.②He sometimes played two slot machines at a time,all night,until the boat docked at5a.m.,then went back aboard when the casino opened at9a.m.③Now he is suing the casino,charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted.It did know he had a problem.
4①In March1998a friend of Williams’s got him involuntarily confined to a treatment center for addictions,and wrote to inform the casino of Williams’s gambling problem.②The casino included a photo of Williams among those of banned gamblers,and wrote to him a“cease admissions”letter.③Noting the medical/psychological nature of problem gambling behavior,the letter said that before being readmitted to the casino he would have to present medical/psychological information demonstrating that patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or well-being.
(42)________.
5①The Wall Street Journal reports that the casino has24signs warning:“Enjoy the fun...and always bet with your head,not over it.”②Every entrance ticket lists a toll-free number for counseling from the Indiana Department of Mental Health.③Nevertheless,Williams’s suit charges that the casino,knowing he was “helplessly addicted to gambling,”intentionally worked to“lure”him to“engage in conduct against his will.”Well.
(43)________.
6①The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders says“pathological gambling”involves persistent,recurring and uncontrollable pursuit less of money than of thrill of taking
risks in quest of a windfall.
(44)________.
7①Pushed by science,or what claims to be science,society is reclassifying what once were considered character flaws or moral failings as personality disorders akin to physical disabilities.
(45)________.
8①Forty-four states have lotteries,29have casinos,and most of these states are to varying degrees dependent on--you might say addicted to--revenues from wagering.②And since the first Internet gambling site was created in1995,competition for gamblers’dollars has become intense.③The Oct.28 issue of Newsweek reported that2million gamblers patronize1,800virtual casinos every week.④With$3.5 billion being lost on Internet wagers this year,gambling has passed pornography as the Web’s most profitable business.
[A]Although no such evidence was presented,the casino’s marketing department continued to pepper him with mailings.And he entered the casino and used his Fun Card without being detected.
[B]It is unclear what luring was required,given his compulsive behavior.And in what sense was his will operative?
[C]By the time he had lost$5,000he said to himself that if he could get back to even,he would quit.One night he won$5,500,but he did not quit.
[D]Gambling has been a common feature of American life forever,but for a long time it was broadly considered a sin,or a social disease.Now it is a social policy:the most important and aggressive promoter of gambling in America is the government.
[E]David Williams’s suit should trouble this gambling nation.But don’t bet on it.
[F]It is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems,often defining as addictions what earlier,sterner generations explained as weakness of will.
[G]The anonymous,lonely,undistracted nature of online gambling is especially conducive to compulsive behavior.But even if the government knew how to move against Internet gambling,what would be its grounds for doing so?

Directions:
In the following article,some sentences have been removed.For Questions41—45,choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit in any of the blanks.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(10points)
1①The time for sharpening pencils,arranging your desk,and doing almost anything else instead of writing has ended.②The first draft will appear on the page only if you stop avoiding the inevitable and sit, stand up,or lie down to write.(41).
2①Be flexible.Your outline should smoothly conduct you from one point to the next,but do not permit it to railroad you.②If a relevant and important idea occurs to you now,work it into the draft.③(42)④Grammar,punctuation,and spelling can wait until you revise.⑤Concentrate on what you are saying.
⑥Good writing most often occurs when you are in hot pursuit of an idea rather than in a nervous search for errors.
3①(43).②Your pages will be easier to keep track of that way,and,if you have to clip a paragraph to place it elsewhere,you will not lose any writing on the other side.
4①If you are working on a word processor,you can take advantage of its capacity to make additions and deletions as well as move entire paragraphs by making just a few simple keyboard commands.②Some software programs can also check spelling and certain grammatical elements in your writing.
③(44).④These printouts are also easier to read than the screen when you work on revisions.
5①Once you have a first draft on paper,you can delete material that is unrelated to your thesis and add material necessary to illustrate your points and make your paper convincing.②The student who wrote“The A&P as a State of Mind”wisely dropped a paragraph that questioned whether Sammy displays chauvinistic attitudes toward women.(45).
6①Remember that your initial draft is only that.②You should go through the paper many times–and then again–working to substantiate and clarify your ideas.③You may even end up with several entire versions of the paper.Rewrite.④The sentences within each paragraph should be related to a single topic.
⑤Transitions should connect one paragraph to the next so that there are no abrupt or confusing shifts.
⑥Awkward or wordy phrasing or unclear sentences and paragraphs should be mercilessly poked and prodded into shape.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[A]To make revising easier,leave wide margins and extra space between lines so that you can easily add words,sentences,and corrections.Write on only one side of the paper.
[B]After you have clearly and adequately developed the body of your paper,pay particular attention to the introductory and concluding paragraphs.It’s probably best to write the introduction last,after you know precisely what you are introducing.Concluding paragraphs demand equal attention because they leave the reader with a final impression.
[C]It’s worth remembering,however,that though a clean copy fresh off a printer may look terrific,it will read only as well as the thinking and writing that have gone into it.Many writers prudently store their data on disks and print their pages each time they finish a draft to avoid losing any material because of power failures or other problems.
[D]It makes no difference how you write,just so you do.Now that you have developed a topic into a tentative thesis,you can assemble your notes and begin to flesh out whatever outline you have made.
[E]Although this is an interesting issue,it has nothing to do with the thesis,which explains how the setting influences Sammy’s decision to quit his job.Instead of including that paragraph,she added one that described Lengel’s crabbed response to the girls so that she could lead up to the A&P“policy”he enforces.
[F]In the final paragraph about the significance of the setting in“A&P,”the student brings together the reasons Sammy quit his job by referring to his refusal to accept Lengel’s store policies.
[G]By using the first draft as a means of thinking about what you want to say,you will very likely discover more than your notes originally suggested.Plenty of good writers don’t use outlines at all but discover ordering principles as they write.Do not attempt to compose a perfectly correct draft the first time around.

How Can a Parent Help?
Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids.Even if a job’s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult’s need for rapid content,the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move.Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not,Here Life Comes,that parents can take to prevent what I call“work-life unreadiness.”:
41
You can start this process when they are11or12.Periodically review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings,like difficulty in communicating well or collaborating.Also,identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to,as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.
42
Kids need a range of authentic role models–as opposed to members of their clique,pop stars and vaunted athletes.Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are.Discuss the joys and downsides of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future.When asked what they want to do,they should be discouraged from saying“I have no idea.”They can change their minds200times,but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.
43
Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn;parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work.Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job.Kids need plenty of practice delaying gratification and deploying effective organizational skills,such as managing time and setting priorities.
44
Playing video games encourages immediate content.And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way.At the same time,listening through earphones to the same monotonous beats for long stretches encourages kids to stay inside their bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors.All these activities can prevent the growth of important communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained concentration they will need for most jobs.
45
They should know how to deal with setbacks,stresses and feelings of inadequacy.They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts,ways to brainstorm and think critically.Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.
What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood?Parents still have a major role to play,but now it is more delicate.They have to be careful not to come across as disappointed in their child.They should exhibit strong interest and respect for whatever currently interests their fledging adult(as naive or ill conceived as it may seem)while becoming a partner in exploring options for the future.Most of all,these new adults must feel that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them.

News 1 A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019。 If successful， the tiny device will provide the moon with its first ever mobile phone network。 The lunar network will support high definition streaming of video and data between the moon and earth。 The network is part of a mission to the moon。 This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately paid for mission to the moon。 The 4G mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon 9 rocket in 2019。 Mission to the moon intends to establish and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon。 The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network。 This is because fifth generation networks are still in testing and trial phases。 This means that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to work on the moon‘s surface Question 1：What are scientists planning to do?

This phenomenon has raised considerable concern among parents and college faculties about living off campus, which is caused by the following reasons. To begin with, living conditions of an apartment off campus may be better than those of a dormitory. A rented apartment is often equipped with an independent washroom and a shower equipment which may be of great advantage over the school dormitory. In general, a typical dormitory often accomodates four or six, or even eight students and it is too crowded and noisy for those who prefer private space as well as quiet circumstances. In addition, instead of being regulated by dormitory rules, students may enjoy more freedom in a rented apartment. If college students intend to rent an apartment, I think they should give top priority to safety. It is important to make a survey of the surroundings first to ensure the security. Besides, when they tend to enjoy the freedom, they should have a better sense of self-control and make good use of their time. 范文点评： 作文是一篇涉及校外租房话题的论述文，考生需要根据所给大纲进行写作。本文语言规范、地道、结构清晰。作者首先指出了当下大学生校外租房的普遍性；第二段通过to begin with 和in addition的使用，清晰地列举出校外租房相对于住宿舍的优势：公寓房条件要比宿舍好，而且学生可以享有更多的自由。最后，作者给出了自己的建议，如果想要校外租房，首先要考虑的就是安全问题。 Part Ⅱ Section A Understanding Conversations

According to the Scottish Daily Record. Abergeldie castle located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland was built by Sir Alexander Gordon of Midmar who later became the Earl of Huntly. The castle which is located on 11,700 acres was leased to members of the royal family between 1848 and 1970, including King Edward VII and George V.
