The density of the pollutants in the toxic slick in the Songhua River in Northeast China has dropped sharply, the country's new environmental chief said on Saturday.
Zhou Shengxian, newly appointed minister of the State Environmental Protection Administration (SE-PA), said that, besides the reduction in the concentration of benzene and other chemicals, work to combat the pollutants in the river would enter a new phase.
The density will be further diluted by the time the slick reaches Tongjiang, where the Songhua meets the Heilong River (called Amur in Russia)—which forms the border between China and Russia, Zhou said.
The slick was still about 200 kilo-metres from Tongjiang last night.
The current density already meets the drinking water standard in Russia, environmental experts said.
The immediate priority was still to ensure the safety of the drinking water for residents of Jiamusi. The leading edge of the slick arrived in Huachuan County of Jiamusi yesterday.
"From now on, we will switch our working focus to appraise the impact of the pollutants on the ecosystem," China Central Television quoted Zhou as saying.
A chemical plant blast caused the slick on November 13 in Jinlin,Jilin Province, in the upper reaches of the Songhua. About 100 tons of benzene and other chemicals spilled into the river, which disrupted the normal watersupply of cities downstream and affected the normal life of millions of residents.
Although Jiamusi has a population of more than 2 million, the city was little affected by the slick because it relies on underground water as its main water source.
By 8 am on Saturday, the density of nitrobenzene at the Jiamusi Checking Station was 0.173 milligrams per litre and later fell to 0.162 milligrams per litre. By 8 am yesterday, the density at the same place was 0.074 milligrams per litre.
China's Ministry of Science and Technology had already granted its first batch of 25 million yuan (US$3.08 million) for six research projects on how to deal with the water pollution, including the benzene problem, in the Songhua River.
16.The project only focused on the reduction of benzene and other chemicals
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. The chemicals in the river will be further reduced before it reaches Tongjiang.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18. At present, the water is suitable to drink in Russia.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
19. The experts will evaluate the influence of the pollutants on ecosystem in the next few days.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
20. Jiamusi was severely influenced by this accident.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
21. The density of nitrobenzene kept declining.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
22. Government will issue new restrictions on chemical plants.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

1. People depend on food, clothing, shelter, safety, belonging, esteem and a few other things for survival, this state of dependence is not created by our society or by marketers; it exists in the very arrangement of human biology and the human condition. Actually, it is a state of felt deprivation of some basic satisfaction.
2. A Chinese needs food but prefers a banquet, needs clothing but prefers a Pierre Cardin suit, needs esteem but would like to be a president or a film star. While people's needs are few, their desires are many. Human desires make people look for specific products or services to satisfy their deeper needs.
3. Wants become demands when backed up by purchasing power. Many persons want a car, only a few are really able and willing to buy one. Companies must therefore measure not only how many people want their product but, more important, how many would actually be willing and able to buy it. Demands are wants for specific products that are backed up by an ability and willingness to buy them.
4. People satisfy their needs and wants with certain objects or services. We shall define these objects broadly to cover "anything that can be produced and offered to someone to satisfy a need or want." The word "objects" brings to mind a physical thing, such as an automobile, a television set, or a soft drink; which the word "services" makes a general idea to those intangible ones.
5. Originally, buyers and sellers gathered at a certain place to engage in exchange, such as a village square or a street corner. Now, this "certain place" means a collection of buyers and sellers and consists of all the potential customers sharing a particular need or want who might be willing and able to engage in exchange to satisfy that need or want.

deprivation n.掠夺；损失 specific a.特有的

第四部分 阅读理解(31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
阅读三篇短文。每篇短文后面有五个问题，每个问题都有四个备选答案，应试者根据短文的内容从四个备选答案中选择一个最佳答案。
第一篇
When IBM announced an overhaul of its pension plan for employees in America last week, it joined a parade of employers that are shifting more responsibility for saving for retirement on to workers. For many Americans, of course, this is nothing new: millions of them have been managing their retirement assets in individual accounts for years. Nevertheless, in both America and Britain the closure of paternalistic(家长式作风的，感情主义的) corporate "defined benefit" programmes, in which pensions depend on earnings and years of service, is accelerating—even at healthy companies such as IBM.
To the extent that this creates and encourages individual choice and responsibility, it is something to welcome rather than to fear. Many other countries, facing huge state—pension obligations, would also like to see their citizens assume a bigger role in providing for their own retirement. Even so, the trend raises an important question: how much do people due to take on these new responsibilities know about basic financial concepts?
The answer seems to be; not much, and less than they think they do. Studies show that many people overestimate their knowledge of everything from inflation to risk diversification and compound interest. One survey in Australia found that 37% of people who owned investments did not know that they could fluctuate in value. In America 31% did not know that the finance charge on a credit-card-statement is what they pay to use credit. Britain’s Financial Services Authority will release the results of its own survey on financial literacy in the next month or two.
Even educated professionals may know the basics but see no need to keep up to date—having no idea of the interest rates on their credit cards, the fees on their mutual funds or how their investments are doing. But in both America and Britain low personal saving rates (negative in America, indeed) and record numbers of personal bankruptcies do not bode well. If people are to take charge of their pensions, shouldn’t they know a little more?
In the end, ignorance could rebound on governments: if people save too little for old age, the state may have to provide for them willy-nilly(不管愿意与否). "Governments are taking this very seriously." says Barbara Smith of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which recently produced a report on global financial literacy.Just this week the British govern- ment launched an online debt calculator for overstretched consumers and a money-management course for teenagers that will be offered in schools across the country later this year. New Zealand is another country trying to catch its people young; one official financial—information website there (www.sorted.org.nz) includes an online game on "Money Island".
词汇：bankruptcy n. 破产，倒闭 overhaul n. 彻底革新
bode vt./vi. 预示，预兆 diversification n. 分散化，多种经营
31. It is informed in the text that__________.
A. IBM cannot help but overhaul its pension plan
B. IBM takes much responsibility for saving for retirement
C. workers will assume more financial responsibility for their old age
D. most Americans have taken on responsibility for saving for retirement

B. it can help companies relieve their pension obligations
C. millions of Americans have opened their individual accounts for years
D. more factors should be taken into consideration for a healthy pension plan
33. If one is to assume more financial responsibility, he should have more knowledge about_____.
A. risk diversification
B. basic financial concepts
C. how much he pays to use credit
D. the fluctuation in value of his investment
34. It can be inferred from the text that________.
A. even professionals are short of financial information
B. personal saving rates will no doubt increase remarkably
C. professionals are usually better prepared for their retirement
D. there will be less personal bankruptcies in both America and Britain
35. The main idea of this text is that_________.
A. most people are very ignorant about investment
B. individuals should have more choices and responsibility
C. individuals should be better prepared for their retirement
D. government should provide official financial-information

Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing shortage,hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel's example.
At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who vistits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient's illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary.
The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.
Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized nursing administration; every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit's nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.
Beth Israel's nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice president of the hospital. She also is a member of the Medial Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.

第三篇
There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae (幼虫). In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought(干旱) in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps (小虾) that lie in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50℃ are often recorded.
The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch(孵化). Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres.
Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore, for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates.
If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another year, or even longer if necessary. Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasion, the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival.
41. Which of the following is the MOST distinctive feature of Mojave shrimps?
A. Their lives are brief
B. They feed on plant and animal organisms
C. Their eggs can survive years of drought
D. They lay their eggs in the mud
42. By saying "for the shrimps it is a race against time" (Sentence 2, Para. 3) the author means_______.
A. they have to swim fast to avoid danger in the rapidly evaporating lake
B. they have to swim fast to catch the animal organisms on which they survive
C. they have to multiply as many as possible within thirteen days
D. they have to complete their life cycle within a short Span of time permitted by the environment
43. The Passage mainly deals with________.
A. the life span of the Mojave shrimps B. the survival of desert shrimps
C. the importance of water to life D. life in the Mojave Desert
44. The word “dormant" (Sentence 2, Para.4) most probably means_________.
A. inactive B. strong C. alert D. soft
45. It may be inferred from the Passage that
A. appearance and size are most important for life to survive in the desert
B. a specie must he able to multiply quickly in order to survive
C. for some species on life cycle in a year is enough to survive the desert drought
D. some species develop a unique life pattern to survive in extremely harsh conditions

Chinese is written in characters. How many characters are there? An 51 person can probably recognize more than 6, 000 characters while the most common computer encoding system in Taiwan and Hong Kong includes 52 13, 000 characters, and the 53 system in China includes about 6, 500 characters. However, 54 Chinese words are generally composed of two characters, only a few thousand characters can be used to understand many tens or 55 hundreds of thousands of words. 56 knowledge of 2 or 3 thousand is good enough for use of communication in Chinese.
Chinese characters are often 57 for being overly complex relative to other 58 systems. One reason for the added complexity is the different information content of the characters. Roman letter give relatively precise information on pronunciation, but 59 information on meaning. In 60 , Chinese characters give less precise (and sometimes no) pronunciation information, but 61 give information on meaning.
However, learning Chinese characters is not as difficult as one would 62 Firstly, because the majority of Chinese characters are Phonetic(语音) Complexes, learning to 63 them is not so difficult. Secondly, because all characters are derived 64 a couple hundred simple pictographs(象形文字)and ideographs(表意文字) in ways that are usually quite 65 and easy to remember, learning to recognize and write them is not that hard either.
51. A. existed B. educated C. advanced D. analyzed
52. A. above B. about C. abroad D. aboard
53. A. correction B. symbol C. criteria D. standard
54. A. though B. although C. since D. even
