A

allows man to become calm and relaxed

B

serves as atonement for the past

C

acts as a guide for future entries

D

ensures alertness and sensitivity to the past

参考答案和解析
正确答案: C
解析:
文章最后一段提到calm as a function of diary is no great shakes,即使人平静下来只是日记的功效之一,这一功效是短暂的,微小的。随后指出In the long run, a diary had the reverse effect, it does not permit one to go to sleep, it interferes with the natural process of transfiguring a past which is left to itself, it keeps one awake and mordant,即日记的最大作用是使人认识你自己,D项为正确答案。

第1题:

(d) Evaluate the effect on Gerard of the changes to be made by Fizz plc to its performance related bonus scheme.

You should ignore the effect of any pension contributions to be made by Gerard in the future, consider both

the value and timing of amounts received by Gerard and include relevant supporting calculations.

(5 marks)

Note: – You should assume that the income tax rates and allowances for the tax year 2006/07 apply throughout

this question.


正确答案:
(d) Implications for Gerard of the changes to Fizz plc’s bonus scheme
Value received
Under the existing scheme Gerard receives approximately £4,500 each year. This is subject to income tax at 40% and
national insurance contributions at 1% such that Gerard receives £2,655 (£4,500 x 59%) after all taxes.
Under the proposed share incentive plan (SIP), Gerard expects to receive free shares worth £3,500 (£2,100 + £1,400).
Provided the shares remain in the plan for at least five years there will be no income tax or national insurance contributions
in respect of the value received. Gerard’s base cost in the shares for the purposes of capital gains tax will be their value at
the time they are withdrawn from the scheme.
In addition, the amount he spends on partnership shares will be allowable for both income tax and national insurance such
that he will obtain shares with a value of £700 for a cost of only £413 (£700 x 59%).
Accordingly, Gerard will receive greater value under the SIP than he does under the existing bonus scheme. However, as noted
below, he will not be able to sell the free or matching shares until they have been in the scheme for at least three years by
which time they may have fallen in value.
Timing of receipt of benefit
Under the existing scheme Gerard receives a cash bonus each year.
The value of free and matching shares awarded under a SIP cannot be realised until the shares are withdrawn from the
scheme and sold. This withdrawal cannot take place until at least three years after the shares are awarded to Gerard.
Accordingly, Gerard will not have access to the value of the bonuses he receives under the SIP until the scheme has been in
operation for at least three years. In addition, if the shares are withdrawn within five years of being awarded, income tax and
national insurance contributions will become payable on the lower of their value at the time of the award and their value at
the time of withdrawal thus reducing the value of Gerard’s bonus.

第3题:

189. What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more—and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. [共5题]

57. [B] 意为:美国、加拿大及其他国家也可能批准类似法律。
   第二段最后一句指出,在美国和加拿大“死之权利”运动正在集结力量,观望者正在等待多米诺骨牌开始倾倒。多米诺骨牌是一种西洋骨牌游戏;游戏中将许多长方形的骨牌竖立排列成行,碰倒第一张时,其余骨牌将依次纷纷倒下。用于比喻时,这种游戏指一系列的连锁反应,即:牵一发而动全身。这里喻指:澳大利亚的形势会波及北美等国家,引起类似的做法。
   A意为:观察者对安乐死的未来持观望态度。根据对 B 的分析,观察者等待的是是否美、加等国会在对安乐死的态度方面步澳之后尘,通过类似立法,而并非是指他们对安乐死态度暖昧、莫衷一是。
   C意为:观察者正等待看多米诺游戏的结果。这种解释未免太拘泥于字面的意思。
   D 意为:所批准的法案的影响也许会最终停止。与原文不符。
