（注意：翻译做在试卷二上。）

Let’s say you’re waiting in a queue for a bus. It’s raining hard and when the bus comes you realise you won’t get on unless you jump the queue. What would you do? (76) Half the Dutch questioned said they’d push their way on, as against 18 per cent of Finns and 32 per cent of Britons. In Germany, 38 per cent said they would queue-barge. Not, however, one Stuttgart respondent: “Queuing is something I learned in Britain.” Yet a Nottingham pensioner said: “Do people actually queue any more?” We asked people if they would conceal income to avoid paying tax. Across Europe, 39 per cent said they would, compared with 46 per cent in the UK. In Austria, though, a whopping (巨大的) 64 per cent say they’d cheat. In Belgium, one 47-year-old admitted that he wouldn’t hesitate. “(77) In my job, I see people cheating every day. Those who don’t are either innocent or stupid.” His job? Tax official.

(78) A classic ethical situation: as you leave the supermarket, you realize the cashier has given you too much in change. Would you return and give the money back? Two thirds of the Europeans we asked, 67 per cent, answered yes (69 per cent in the UK);and even more impressively, 80 per cent of the French.

Still, situational ethics are often involved. “It depends on the cashier,” argued a young Czech businesswoman. “If she was pleasant and smiling, I’d tell her that she’d given me too much change. If not, I wouldn’t bother.” For one Dutchman, it’s size that matters. “I’d return money to a corner shop, but not a big department store.”

Company size also mattered when Europeans were asked about installing illicit copies of software on their own computers. As one Swiss 25-year-old put it, “Bill Gates of Microsoft is rich enough; I don’t feel guilty about using illegal copies of his software.” This seemed the view of the 75 per cent of those polled in Portugal; though only 64 per cent would do this in Europe as a whole. (79) The question that probably caused most heart-searching was whether to tell a friend if

you’d seen their husband/wife walking hand-in-hand with a stranger. In Portugal, 51 per cent said they would as opposed to 18 per cent in Slovakia. Overall, 37 per cent across Europe and 43 per cent in the UK said they’d tell.

(80) On some other issues was there a sharper divide between the ages. For, while 55 per cent of European young people would enlighten their friend, only 18 per cent of those over 50 would take this step. It was a question that brought several of our respondents to a stunned silence, and some close to tears

I. Listening Comprehension

Section B Compound Dictation (10%)

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the

first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from S1 to S7 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from S8 to S10 you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Accidents are caused, they don’t just happen. The (S1) may be easy to see: an (S2) tray, a shelf out of (S3) , a patch of ice on the (S4) . But more often than not there is a (S5) of events leading up to the calamity — (S6) , tiredness or just bad (S7) — that show what the accident really is, a sort attack on oneself.

Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family row, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.

Yet this should not make us think that accidents happen to other people. (S8) , and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.

(S9) For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, everyday in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment — noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. (S10)
