(D)

People who sell goods and services over the telephone are called telemarketers. India, the Philippines, China and South Africa are among the countries where telemarketing is a growing industry. Others, such as Mauritius, want to enter the business.

This should not be difficult for countries with the technology and interest. Many international companies have started to move their call centre jobs to nations where the wages are lower. People may have no idea if a call worker is on the other side of the world.

Most call centres are used not only for telemarketing. Workers also help customers. They collect information for companies. And they handle claims and record keeping. In fact, India’s call centre industry has been described as “the back office of the world”. About 70 companies there do telemarketing for American businesses.

Some experts estimate that more than 250,000 telemarketing jobs have already moved out of the United States. These and other jobs in the services industry are expected to continue to leave the country.

The Forrester Research group expects more than 3 million jobs in the services industry to move within the next fifteen years. It says that they will go to countries like India, Russian, China and the Philippines. As a result, the company says, the United States will lose more than 130,000 million dollars in wages.

This amount could increase depending on how a legal battle over a nation ‘do not call’ list is settled. More than 50 million Americans have signed on to a new government list to prevent phone calls from telemarketers. These calls often interfere with family time or dinner. The American government supports the do-not-call list, which took effect this month. Telemarketers could face large fines for violations, though some kinds of calls are still permitted.

The industry says the list violates the right to free speech. In addition, lawmakers who represent areas with call centres worry about the loss of jobs. The fear is that more Americans call centres will close or move overseas if the list is enforced(强制执行).

An appeal court ruled that the government may continue to enforce the do-not-call list for now at least. A final ruling could come from the United States Supreme Court.

76. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. how telemarketing is operated　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B. how government deals with telemarketing

C. the present situation of telemarketing in the USA

D. telemarketing is growing rapidly in developing countries

77. What is now happening in the American telemarketing business?

A. Jobs are going to developing countries.　　　　　

B. The USA is giving up its market share.

C. The American government will ban domestic telemarketing.

D. There are still some conflicts unsettled.

78. The word ‘violation’ refers to _______ according to the context.

A. going on interfering with family time or dinner

B. continuing to call those who have signed the do-not-call list

C. moving the call centres to developing countries

D. hiring more American telemarketers

79. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the do-not-call list?

A. The do-not-call list will be carried out by the government very soon.

B. The dispute about the do-not-call list has not reached a final conclusion yet.

C. People whose names appear on the do-not-call list welcome telemarketing.

D. People making the law about do-not-call list have not thought for job losses.

Directions: 　Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

80. 　

Environmental groups in the United States are leading a campaign to save thousands of endangered sea turtles. They have asked Pope John Paul the Second to ban turtle meat during the Christian religious observance known as Lent. Christians observe Lent in preparation for the holiday of Easter.

81. 　

Environmental groups say illegal turtle hunting is one of the major threats to endangered sea turtles in southern California and Mexico. It has been illegal to harvest and eat sea turtle meat in Mexico for more than ten years. However, demand for sea turtle meat is widespread in both Southern California and Mexico. Biologists believe that illegal hunting is one of the main reasons for the sharp drop in sea turtle population during the past thirty years.

82. 　

The week before Easter Sunday is an especially deadly time for the turtles. As many as 5000 turtles are killed during this time each year. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans eat turtle meat during the days before Easter. Many people do not eat meat during this holy time in order to obey the rules of Lent. Because sea turtles swim, many people consider them to be fish. Fish is permitting during Lent.

83. 　

The Sea Turtle Conversation Network is a union of fishermen, environmental activists and researchers. They sent a letter to Pope John Paul, urging the Roman Catholic Church leader to officially declare that sea turtle flesh is meat, not fish or seafood. They say thousands of these endangered animals would be saved if people did not eat them during this religious period. The letter also asked members of the Catholic Church to obey laws banning the capture of turtles in Mexico and the United States.

84. 　

About 35,000 endangered sea turtles are killed illegally near the coasts of Baja, California each year. Studies have shown a sharp drop in the numbers of females. They travel from as far away as Japan to lay their eggs on local beaches. Environmental activists say hunting sea turtles for their meat is the main barrier to the recovery of the species. They have urged the governments of the United States and Mexico to improve enforcement of the ban on sea turtle harvesting.

　　　 Telepathy?

　　　 Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses. It’s an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it telepathy.

　　　 We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending. 　　　

　　　 You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, but try ‘feeling’ who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these works for you, that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.

　　　 Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.

　　　 Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.

72. When does telepathy occur?

A. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger.

B. It occurs when one has very good five senses.

C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend.

D. It occurs when one doesn’t know a stranger.

73. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?

A. Receiving Telepathy　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Telepathy: Mind-to-Mind Contact

C. Telepathy: People’s Dream　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Dream of Telepathy

74. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The more people separate, the more likely that telepathy will occur.

B. It is by using the five senses that telepathy occurs.

C. Telepathy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another.

D. One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friend’s call as one wishes.

75. Which of the following belongs to telepathy?

A. By accident, you are aware of a friend of yours is coming to see you.

B. People’s communication over the telephone.

C. A mother’s sense of her child is in danger.

D. A couple’s long separation.

(A)

I’ll be the first to admit that I am a technophobe(对技术有恐惧感的人) . Who would have guessed that a website would help repay a 20-year-old loan?

I’ll always remember my last day at school. My best friend, Jenny, had organized a party in the Sixth Form Common Room.

Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks. “I’m really looking forward to this party, Stingy(小气),” she said. Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn’t like to spend money. Actually, it was true.

“There’s lots of money in the kitty. Let’s go crazy！” Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army. It came to￡19.90, which was a lot of money in 1982.

Jenny gave me a guilty look. “I’ve left the kitty money in the common room. Can you pay and I’ll give you back the money?”

“Sure,” I replied, trying to look relaxed. “Neither a lender or a borrower be” was my motto but I didn’t want to look stingy. I gave ￡20 to the impatient shop assistant.

Well, the party was a great success. So great that I completely forgot about my loan until I was flying to America the next day. I was going to live with my uncle’s family until I started university.

I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved. My ￡20 was lost. Until…

I’d heard about a website called Friends Reunited which helped people contact old school friends. My husband helped me log on and find my school. There she was, Jenny Frost.

“I’m now married，with a beautiful daughter called Debbie. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Debbie ‘Stingy’ Jones? I still owe her ￡20!

We met two months later and the ￡20 was returned, plus interest of course. After all, I’m a bank manager now, so loans are my business.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

　　 Do you like movies and the cinema? If the answer is yes, then you’ll love hearing that there is a 3D ____41_____in cinema entertainment coming.

　　　　 3D technology has been around for many years. The first 3D movie shown to a paying audience can be ____42____ down to as early as 1922. But now 3D movies are being ____43_____ on a large scale. This year, some major movie ____44_____ have released 3D movies, including the blockbuster Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and animations like Up and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

But now does 3D movie technology work and why do you have to wear glasses while watching 3D movies?

The technology is actually simple. When a director is making a 3D movie, he must have it filmed by two cameras, from two ___45_____ different angles, at the same time. Because it is filmed from different angles, if you watch the movie without the 3D glasses, it will look ___46_____. In the cinema, the movie is played on a special silver screen. When you watch the movie through the 3D glasses, each of your eyes sees from one of the different angles because each lens of the glasses only lets through one type of polarized light. This makes your brain think it is seeing 3D ___47_____.

Unfortunately, there are some problems with 3D movies. Because the movie has to be filmed from two different angles, the filming of 3D movies is really ____48____. And, upgrading a screen to 3D and ____49_____ the projector can cost tens of thousands of dollars. So we might be waiting a while before every film is 3D, but it will be worth the wait.
