24、e wiped out entirely. Thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world. The question lawmakers must answer is, “Which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” Each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions th
25、en determine how criminals are punished under different systems. However, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. There are many ideas about punishment of criminals. Some systems look only to (倾向于) get retribution (惩罚) against criminals. These systems work to frighten cri
26、minals away from repeating a crime in the future.These systems also try to deter (威慑) others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught committing crimes. Rehabilitation (悔过) is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate.
27、The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. The idea is to help change the persons behavior and approach so that he or she becomes a law-abiding citizen.Capital punishment is another form of punishment whi
28、ch systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. In these cases, the person is put to death. Today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. Many countries have done away with it. In other words, capital punishment remains
29、 only in officially law books but is rarely used. However, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States.56. The police around the world usually concentrate their attention on .A. how to catch the person who commits crimesB. how to punish the person who commits crim
30、esC. how to control crimesD. how to determine the system of punishment of criminals57.

31、to reform criminals and help them return to societyD. to help criminals get some knowledge of law58. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many countries including the USA have got rid of capital punishment.B. In some countries capital punishment can only be found in law books, but it is hardly used
32、.C. Capital punishment is only used in extreme criminal cases.D. Some countries including China still use capital punishmentBLife is difficult.But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and diffi
33、culties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process (过程) of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Pro
34、blems depending on their nature cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is i
35、n this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is th
36、rough the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.59. From the passage, it can be inferred that .A. not everybody has problems B.
37、 we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems60.

39、 to solve in order to .A. encourage them to learn B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect for problems63. The saying from Benjamin Franklin“Those things that hurt, instruct.”suggests that .A. we do not learn from experience B
40、. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us important lessons D. pain cannot be avoidedCContacts between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Ma
41、ny foreign companies have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often confuse foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for exampl
42、e, wants to start talking business immediately. He doesnt want to wait. The Japanese, on the other hand, like to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes”or“No”. This is b
43、ecause of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society, which make it difficult for a Japanese to say“No”directly.In English, it is easy to say“No”to something we do not want to do. But in Japan, its very difficult to say“No”To refuse an invitation or request with“No”, or a similar phra
44、se, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed any ways to avoid saying “no”. These enable them to avoid hurting other peoples feelings. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for fo
45、reigners to understand and follow.64. What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?A. Their different ways of doing business. B. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.C. The fact that the Japanese are slow to act.D. Their different ways of communication.65.The fact that unl

When we want to ref
47、use a request, the Japanese will probably .A. say“No”directly B. say a phrase similar to “No”C. not express it but say “Yes” D. use some other indirect ways to express it67. Which of the following is the disadvantage brought about by the fact that the Japanese hardly say “No”?A. It often hurts other
48、 peoples feelings.B. It can avoid hurting other peoples feelings.C. It makes communication between the Japanese and the foreigners impossible.D. It causes difficulty in understanding for foreigners.D There are two basic differences between the large and the small firms. In the small firm you operate
49、 primarily through personal contacts. In the large firm you have established “policies”, “channels” of organization, and fairly rigid procedures. In the small firm you have, moreover, immediate effectiveness in a very small area. You can see the effect of your work and of your decisions fight away,
50、once you are a little above the ground floor. In the large firm even the man at the top is only a cog in a big machine. To be sure, his actions affect a much greater area than the actions and decisions of the man in the small organization, but his effectiveness is remote, indirect, and difficult to
51、see a first sight. In a small and even in a middle-sized business you are normally exposed to all kinds of experiences, and expected to do a great many things without too much help or guidance. In the large organization you are normally taught one thing thoroughly. In the small one the danger is of
52、becoming a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. In the large one it is of becoming the man who knows more and more about less and less.There is one other important thing to consider: do you derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known and important figure within your own
53、 small pond? There is a basic difference between the satisfaction that comes from being a member of a large, powerful, and generally known organization, and the one that comes from being a member of a family; between impersonal grandeur and personal of ten much too personal-intimacy; between life in
54、 a skyscraper and life in a crossroads gas station.68. In a large enterprise, .A. new technology is employed quickly B. all people work efficientlyC. ones effectiveness is felt very slowly D. one can get promotion easily69. In the first paragraph, a “jack-of-all-trades” means .A. a person who doesnt
55、 know anything about businessB. a person who is very capable as a businessmanC. a person who knows a little bit of everythingD. a person who is very knowledgeable about trade70. We can conclude from the first paragraph that the writer .A. prefers to work for a large firm B. does not mention his own
56、preferenceC. prefers to work for a small firmD. is against anything that goes to its extreme71. In the second paragraph, the contrast between the organization and the family is employed to show .A. how necessary a deep sense of satisfaction isB. what satisfaction means to different types of peopleC.
57、 how families may differ from one anotherD. what large firm can offer to ordinary familiesE 0Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the worlds first igloo hotel. Built in a s
58、mall town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks time Bergqvists ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We dont see it as a big problem,” he says, “We just look forward to replacing it.”Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991
59、 for exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the fr
60、ont door.” he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below freezing point, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break. “Its great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “as well a
61、s a good start in survival training.”The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. You can get a lot of people in. explains Bergqvist, “The beds arc thr
62、ee meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”72.
