12、nswer the questions after each text by choosing A、B、C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (20points)Text1 Pop stars today enjoy a style of living which was once the prerogative only of Royalty. Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to
13、catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by a permanent entourage of managers, press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly
14、 in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like Royalty, pop stars are news. If they enjoy many of the privileges of Royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. They must be constantly sh
15、ielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are astronomical. And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly.
16、 The great days of Hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation on an unprecedented scale. By todays standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular. A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the pa
17、st ever did. The competition for the title Top of the Pops is fierce, but the rewards are truly colossal. It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Dont the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars ea
18、rn vast sums in foreign currency often more than large industrial concerns and the taxman can only be grateful fro their massive annual contributions to the exchequer. So who would begrudge them their rewards? Its all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the successes and rewards of ot
19、hers. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to exp
20、ect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years of concentra
21、ted effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the recompense for the huge risks involved and if he achieves them, he has certainly earned them. Thats the essence of private enterprise.21. The sentence “Pop stars style
22、 of living was once the prerogative only of Royalty” means . A their life was as luxurious as that of royalty.B They enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty.C They are rather rich.D Their way of living was the same as that of the royalty.22. What is the authors attitude toward top stars high in
23、come?A Approval.B Disapproval.C Ironical.D Critical.23. It can be inferred from the passage .Athere exists fierce competition in climbing to the top.Bpeople are blind in idolizing stars.Csuccessful Pop stars give great entertainment.Dthe tax they have paid are great.24. What can we learn from the pa

25、re hard times for Deutsche Bank, despite its huge strides in investment banking. Next week its chief executive, Josef Ackermann, goes on trial in Dusseldorf. Careless words by Rolf Breuer, the head of its supervisory board, led to another court ruling last month that may cost Germanys biggest bank s
26、everal hundred million euros in damages. Then there is Parmalat. Although no evidence has emerged of complicity in the Italian dairy groups fraud, Deutsches name has become entwined in the affair.In many other respects, however, Deutsches reputation has never been higher. In dubbing it “Bank of the
27、Year 2003”, International Financing Review, the capital markets favourite newssheet, purred that Deutsche was a “lean, aggressive, focused universal bank”. In the league tables that investment banks watch so keenly, Deutsche excelled last year as lead manager of bonds and convertible bonds and of so
28、me racier products, such as repackaged debt securities and high-yield “junk” bonds. In other disciplines it rarely fell below the top ten in the world.However, it is still nowhere near the top in equity offerings and advice on mergers and acquisitions, except in Germany. It still has a problem with
29、costs, which were a fat 82% of income in the third quarter of 2003, thanks mainly to the thick pay packets of its investment bankers and its poor returns from corporate and retail banking.Mr Ackermann must try to improve the weak spots while spending two days a week, probably until June, in a courtr
30、oom. He and four others face charges of “breach of trust” over the way bonuses were awarded to board members of Mannesmann, a telecoms company. Mr Ackermann sat on Mannesmanns supervisory board. There is no suggestion that he gained personally. Nor was there any harmful intent in Mr Breuers remarks
31、in a television interview about the financial health of the Kirch media group shortly before its bankruptcy. But he was careless, and a Munich court found Deutsche (but not Mr Breuer) liable for damages, to be set in due course, without right of appeal. The bank said this week it has lodged a protes
32、t with the federal supreme court in Karlsruhe. Meanwhile, Kirch has filed a suit against Deutsche in America.Deutsches involvement with Parmalat also looks sloppy. It led a 350m ($393m) bond issue for the group in September. It was also a leading borrower and lender of Parmalat shares, so that in No
33、vember it technically held the voting rights to over 5% of Parmalat stock. That stake had fallen to 1.5% by December 19th, the day the dairy companys black hole became public. It reported this, perhaps over-zealously, to the Italian authorities. That may have given the wrong impression, say sources
34、close to the bank, because the transactions were for third parties.This is awkward for a bank that managed to avoid most serious attacks on conflicts of interest that beset the investment-banking industry following the collapse of Enron in 2001 and the bursting of the tech-stock bubble. Mr Ackermann
35、 will need a clear head to steer the bank through the coming storms.26.It can be inferred from the text that .Athe chief executive of Deutsche will be found guilty by courtBit is yet to be found whether Deutsche is involved in the fraudCDeutsches reputation has been ruined by its present problemsDth

41、d, growth is associated with prosperity. 31 Equally axiomatic, however, is the notion that increased pressure on dwindling natural resources must inevitably lead to a decline in prosperity, especially when accompanied by a growth in population. So, which is correct?What growth advocates mean, primar
42、ily, when they say growth is necessary for prosperity is that growth is necessary for the smooth functioning of the economic system. In one arena the argument in favor of growth is particularly compelling and that is with regard to the Third World. 32 But is it? Could it be that growth, especially t
43、he growth of the wealthier countries, has contributed to the impoverishment, not the advancement, of Third World countries? If not, how do we account for the desperate straits these countries find themselves in today after a century of dedication to growth? 33 What good is growth to the people of th
44、e Third World if it means the conversion of peasant farms into mechanized agribusinesses producing commodities not for local consumption but for export, if it means the stripping of their land of its mineral and other natural treasures to the benefit of foreign investors and a handful of their local collaborators, if it means the assumption of a crushing foreign indebtedness, the pr
