There are mainly three distinctions between them, 32 the type of crime, who files the lawsuit and punishments. Basically, criminal cases involve illegal behavior, and civil cases involve disagreements when no law has been broken. Examples of criminal cases include robbery, murder, and other 33 violence. Civil cases 34 cover disputes between property owners and tenants, divorces, contract disagreements, real property issues and intellectual property disputes. In criminal cases, it’s always the government that files the lawsuit. But in civil cases, the plaintiff files the lawsuit and usually is a 35 party such as a person or company. Some attorneys and lawmakers believe that the concept of punishment is the main difference between the two types of cases. 36 . But the “loser” of a civil case normally has to make compensation to the other party for its losses or other damages. 得 Part II Vocabulary(共15分) 分 Section A: Multiple Choice(每小题0.5分，共10分) Directions: Each of the following sentences is incomplete and followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 67 to 76 are based on the following passage. New York City was a mess in the 1980s. My apartment building’s first story was covered in graffiti. Homeless men often curled up on the floor of the lobby to sleep when it got cold. All of the cars on my block had signs in their windows reading, “Don’t Bother. Radio Already Stolen.” The crime rate of the city was legendary. But what explains such disorders? In 1982, two social scientists, George L. Kelling and James Q. Wilson, proposed “the broken windows theory” to explain both how disorder spreads and how it is sustained. They asserted that “disorder and crime are usually totally linked, in a kind of developmental sequence. Social psychologists and police officers tend to agree that if a window in a building is broken and is left unrepaired, all the rest of the windows will soon be broken...One unrepaired broken window is a signal that no one cares so breaking more windows costs nothing.” The idea behind the broken windows theory is that if people look around and see other people violating norms, they will tend to violate them as well. In the 1980s and 1990s, New York City officials started a campaign to remove signs of disorder like broken windows, graffiti markings and trash. Soon, the rate of minor crimes in New 第 7 页 共 14 页 班级 姓名 学号 York began to drop. Other cities around the world also began to use this crime-fighting method. But the broken windows theory was also disputed. Experts said there was still no experimental evidence to prove that the drop in crime was a direct result of efforts to clean up city neighborhoods. Also, they argued that other influences could have caused the drop in crime. Now, a new study provides some strong experimental backing for the broken windows theory. Dutch researchers from the University of Groningen conducted six experiments to see if signs of disorder would encourage people to engage in norm violation themselves. The short answer: Yes. In the first study, the setting was an alley near a shopping district that is commonly used to park bicycles. A prominent sign in the alley prohibits graffiti. The researchers used rubber bands to attach flyers to the handlebars of each bike wishing shoppers a happy holiday from a non-existent sportswear store. The researchers monitored what the bikers did with the flyers when the wall in the alley was free of graffiti and when it was covered with it. The result: only 33 percent littered when the alley was graffiti free whereas 69 percent did when graffiti was present. In a second study, the researchers set up a temporary fence closing off the main entrance to a car park. But they left a 20-inch gap in the fence with two signs posted in the immediate area — one sign forbade locking bicycles to the fence and the other prohibited the use of the closed entrance and directed people to another entrance about 200 yards away. When four bikes were parked but not locked to the fence, only 27 percent of people stepped through the gap to go to their cars. When the bikes were locked to the fence, 82 percent walked through the prohibited gap. In a third study, the researchers set up a situation in which a grocery store posted a sign in a parking garage asking people to please return their shopping carts to the store. They then put the same holiday greeting flyers as in the first experiment under the windshield wipers of cars. When no shopping carts were in the garage, 30 percent littered and when shopping carts were present, 58 percent littered. Do only visual cues trigger disorder? In the Netherlands, very strict laws forbid setting off fireworks in the weeks before New Year’s Eve. So the researchers lit fire crackers out of view of people picking up their bikes from a busy parking shed near a train station. Once again, the bikes had those flyers attached to them. When no fire crackers were set off, 52 percent littered, but 80 percent did when they heard the bangs. In the final two studies, the researchers wanted to see if signs of disorder would induce people to steal. They left an addressed envelope with a transparent window hanging out of a mail box with a five Euro note clearly visible inside. In one case, the mail box was graffiti free and the area around it was clear of litter. Only 13 percent of people stole the envelope. When the mailbox was covered with graffiti, 27 percent stole the money. In another, when the area around the mailbox was littered, 25 percent took the envelope. The researchers report, “We found that when people observe that others violated a certain social norm or legitimate rule, they are more likely to violate even other norms or rules, which causes disorder to spread.” 第 8 页 共 14 页 班级 姓名 学号 As a fairly frequent visitor to New York, I can confirm that much of the city has been transformed in the past years. My old block is now graffiti free and lined with trees, shops, and restaurants. How much credit to give to policing based on the broken window theory for lower crime rates is controversial, but this new study shows that the theory deserves some. As the Dutch researchers conclude: “There is a clear message for policy makers and police officers: Early disorder diagnosis and intervention are of vital importance when fighting the spread of disorder.” 注意:此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。 67.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet. Passage One Questions 77 to 81 are based on the following passage. Years ago, a teacher once told me that if you were good at art, you would be good at accounting. It was hard to find his logic at first, but having spent years working on HND and Accounts A Level and continuing on to pursue my Bachelor of Science in Finance and Accounting, it all began to make sense. You need logic; everything has a set order and method and is placed carefully among its environment. You need 第 10 页 共 14 页 班级 姓名 学号 analytical skills to take apart every piece of information and use it to make your own decisions. Having excelled in all exams, I can proudly say that I possess the skills that will lead me to further study. I have developed an interest in studying finance and would like to continue doing so. I would like continue my studies at the Masters level in Accounting and Finance. I feel that the two subjects combine well with one another and found that my knowledge of one has helped me with the other. I have the ability to pick up skills and knowledge quickly and am independent enough to conduct my own study and research. On many occasions at university I have taught myself various chapters in math in order to remain ahead of the class. My main ambition for the future is to become an Accountant or a Financial Advisor. I am hoping your university will provide me with an understanding of the business world and a wide range of choices and opportunities after I complete my course. In addition, I also enjoy teaching mathematics, which would be my third choice of career. I once taught younger pupils the basics of math, which, I believe all found a very rewarding experience, teacher and students alike. Outside of studying, one of my many passions is Art. I enjoy visiting art galleries and studying art in depth. My favorite types of art are symbolism and surrealism. My favorite artists are Dali and Escher. Recently I have developed a new interest in contemporary art and started painting on canvas. To date, I have done a number of paintings on commission for friends who have all been pleased with my work. Most of my spare time is taken up by my part time job as a sales associate at Skechers USA, Bullring, a store in Birmingham. I have been working there since its opening, which enables me to offer the highest level of customer service and have a good knowledge of the overall running of the store. My job has taught me to become committed, reliable, patient, and adaptable. College, university and my part time job have changed me as a person. They have given me a greater sense of independence and success. They made me grow, open up to more people and cultures and become a better team player as I have learnt to listen to others and take in their opinions. I hope you could offer me a place at your university after analyzing my qualifications. I am confident that I would excel in your program and become a productive, successful member of the business community, a credit to the level of education available at your university. 注意:此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。 77.

A recent global survey of 2,000 high-net-worth individuals found that 60 percent were not planning on a traditional retirement. Among U.S. respondents, 75% expected to continue working in some capacity even after stepping away from full-time jobs. “Many of these people made their wealth by doing something they’re passionate about,” says Daniel Egan, head of behavioral finance for Barclays Wealth Americas. “Given the choice, they prefer to continue working.” Barclays calls these people “nevertirees”. Unlike many Americans compelled into early retirement by company restrictions, the average nevertiree often has no one forcing his hand. If 106-year-old investor Irving Kahn, head of his own family firm, wants to keep coming to work every day, who’s going to stop him? Seventy-eight-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s job security is guaranteed in the Constitution. It may seem that these elderly people are trying to cheat death. In fact, they are. And it’s working. Howard Friedman, a professor at UC Riverside, found in his research that those who work hardest and are successful in their careers often live the 第 12 页 共 14 页 班级 姓名 学号 longest lives. “People are generally being given bad advice to slow down, take it easy, stop worrying, and retire to Florida,” he says. He described one study participant, still working at the age of 100, who was recently disappointed to see his son retire. “We’re beginning to see a change in how people view retirement,” says George Leeson, codirector of the Institute of Population Ageing at Oxford. Where once retirement was seen as a brief reward after a long slog through some miserable job, it is now akin(近似)to being cast aside. What Leeson terms “the Warren Buffett effect” is becoming more broadly appealing as individuals come to “view retirement as not simply being linked to economic productivity but also about contribution”. Observers are split on whether this is a wholly good thing. On the one hand, companies and financial firms can benefit from the wisdom of a resilient chief(坚韧 的). On the other, a glut at the top can make it difficult for a new generation to advance — an argument that typically holds little sway to a nevertiree. 注意:此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。 82.
