| 第8题：The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran is 1 to say it anyway. He is that 2 bird, a scientist who works independently 3 any institution. He helped popularize the idea that some diseases not 4 thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested. 5 he, however, might tremble at the 6 of what he is about to do. Together with another two scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only 7 that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about. The group in 8 are a particular people originated from central Europe. The process is natural selection. This group generally do well in IQ test, 9 12-15 points above the 10 value of 100, and have contributed 11 to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the 12 of their elites, including several world-renowned scientists, 13. They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as breast cancer. These facts, 14, have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been 15 to social effects, such as a strong tradition of 16 education. The latter was seen as a (an) 17 of genetic isolation. Dr. Cochran suggests that the intelligence and diseases are intimately 18. His argument is that the unusual history of these people has 19 them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this 20 state of affairs. 1.

| 第9、10、11、12、13题：It wasn’t an easy decision, but we’ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We’re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That’s all. It’s pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don’t blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim. Mr. Tom Brown: It’s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we’re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that’s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason. Mr. Bob Davis: Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn’t be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don’t we all? Mr. Baker: My opinion is “Get the Army in”. All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That’s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don’t like their jobs, nobody ‘s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they’d keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater: Let’s face it. It’s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can’t do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers’ money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It’s just one of those things. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Mr. Mike Smith 62. Mr. Tom Brown 63.Mr. Bob David 64.Mrs. baker 65. Miss Slater [A] A % increase is already too much, and I’m here to persuade the Union to see reason. [B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation’s security and stability. [C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved. [D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker’s demands. [E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison. [F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs. [G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim. |
