The beauty of software is in its funciion ,in its internal srurcture,and in zhe way inwhich it is created by a team. To a user，a program with just the right features presented through an intuitive and ( ) interface is beautiful.To a soware designer，an intemal sucre that is partitioned in a simple and intuitive manner，and that minirnízes intemal coupling is beautiful.To developers and managers ，a motivated tenof developers makingignificant progress eve week，and producing defect-free code，is beautifu l.

It would be a great shame if，in all that soware，there was no beauty.We know that soware can be uglWe know that it can be hard to use，unreliable ，and carelessly structured. We know that there are software systems whose tangled and careless intemal structures make them expensive and difficult to change. We know that there are soware systems that present their features through an awkward and cumbersome interface.We know that there are software systems that crash and misbehave. These are ( ) systems. Unfortunately ，as a profession ，soware developers tend to create more ugly systems than beautiful ones.There is a secret at the best sofuλrare developers know. Beauty is cheaper than ugliness.

第3题：

Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital. The luxurious and recently-renovated Beijing Hotel said it had received nearly 100 telephone inquiries from people wanting to book rooms during the Games since Beijing won its bid to host the event. "Out of these people, foreigners make up 30 to 40 per cent, including people calling from the United States and Europe," a hotel sales manager surnamed Song said.

Minutes before the decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was announced in Moscow, the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would be game-goers gambling on the result. Domestic callers have mainly come from the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian. Song said the hotel was not taking reservations, but only noting down names of callers, because seven years was too far in advance. The hotel also may be used by the IOC and would then need to set aside rooms for IOC members, he said.

Beijing will have more than 800 hotels with star ratings before the Olympic Games in 2008. The city currently has 20 five-star hotels, 34 four-star hotels and 338 other hotels with lower ratings. About 70 hotels will be designated to accommodate athletes and Olympic officials during the Games.

In the first paragraph, which of the following is the most possible reason for many people to book rooms in top hotels in Beijing?

A．The 2008 Olympic Games will be hold there.

B．More foreigners want to come to China.

C．People from the United States and Europe are eager to visit China.

D．Those hotels can offer good service.

正确答案：A
解析：本题的依据句是文章的第一个句子“Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital.”其他个别选项尽管涉及了第一段的内容，但都是类似于举例说明的细节信息，与本题的问题没有必然的因果关系。

A Letter from Alan
I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,
Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'
It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.

What will cause traffic jams?
A: Buildings on Parson's Place.
B: Building near the railway station.
C: Travelers in the narrow streets.
D: People going to the shops and hotels.

答案：A

解析：

细节题。根据第一段“Few people know about… the size of our town.”以及对全文理解可知，Alan写这封信是为了让其他人了解建筑商计划。因此D项正确。
细节题。根据第一段“For me , Parson's Place is…with fishermen and bird-watchers.” 可以知道答案。因此C项正确。
细节题。根据第二段中“The roads will always be full of traffic…see our lovely old buildings will leave.”可以知道，如果按照建筑商的计划，公路上将总是有很多车辆，却没有地方来停车。因此A项正确。
细节题。根据第三段中“But, in my opinion , the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.”可知道答案。因此D项正确。
主旨题。Alan在本文中一直在说抵制建筑商在帕森场上建造房屋的计划。因此B 项正确。

第二篇

The Privileged Children

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A:It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.
B:Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.
C:Money can't buy everything.
D:Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.

答案：A

解析：

从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担，从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游，但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误：文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误：第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀，却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处，但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过，只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
silver spoon是一个固定说法，并不真是指银子做的勺子，而是指财富，如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”，而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的，因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。

解析：第二句末尾部分the desire to exchange it into something closer to home in terms of acceptability , 并没有提及题中的to travel round the world, to buy goods produced in other countries.

第7题：

根据下列内容，回答211-215题。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy．Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house，so they have to borrow money from a bank．Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”．The bank usually lends money or gives a me．gage for twenty—five years．Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50，000．In other words，they will have a$50，000 mortgage．
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like．you go to a bank．The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk．They will want to know what kind of job you have，what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job．
They will a]so want to know how much money you have．In addition．the banks will require a down payment．Depending Oil which state you live in，the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment．The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
down payment．
What does a house mean in the United States．? __________

A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank

答案：C

解析：

从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知，房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性，与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化，并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。

第8题：

(b) GHG has always used local labour to build and subsequently operate hotels. The directors of GHG are again

considering employing a local workforce not only to build the hotel but also to operate it on a daily basis.

Required:

Explain TWO ways in which the possibility of cultural differences might impact on the performance of a local

workforce in building and operating a hotel in Tomorrowland. (6 marks)

正确答案：
(b) The directors of GHG should be mindful that the effectiveness of a locally employed workforce within Tomorrowland will be
influenced by a number of factors including the following:
The availability of local skills
If Tomorrowland is a lower wage economy it is quite conceivable that a sufficient number of employees possessing the
requisite skills to undertake the construction of a large hotel cannot be found. If there are insufficient local resources then this
would necessitate the training of employees in all aspects of building construction. This will incur significant costs and time
and needs to be reflected in any proposed timetable for construction of the hotel. As far as the operation of the hotel is
concerned then staff will have to be recruited and trained which will again give rise to significant start-up costs. However, this
should not present the directors of GHG with such a major problem as that of training construction staff. Indeed, it is highly
probable that GHG would use its own staff in order to train new recruits.
Attitudes to work
The prevailing culture within Tomorrowland will have a profound impact on attitudes to work of its population. Attitudes to
hours of work, timekeeping and absenteeism vary from culture to culture. For example, as regards hours of work in the
construction industry in countries which experience very hot climates, work is often suspended during the hottest part of each
day and recommenced several hours later when temperatures are much cooler. The directors of GHG need to recognise that
climatic conditions not only affect the design of a building but also its construction.
A potentially sensitive issue within regarding the use of local labour in the construction of the hotel lies in the fact that national
holidays and especially religious holidays need to be observed and taken into consideration in any proposed timetable for
construction of the hotel. As regards the operation of a hotel then consideration needs to be given to the different cultures
from which the guests come. For example, this will require a detailed consideration of menus to be offered. However, it might
well be the case that the local population might be unwilling to prepare dishes comprising ingredients which are unacceptable
to their culture due to, for example, religious beliefs.
(Note: other relevant factors would be acceptable.)
