6. 6. 选择题 Alternative Legal Billing – Win Strategies 　　Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures. Project billing for routine issues 　　If your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company. Results-oriented options 　　“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation. Multi-layered tasks 　　If you're shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter. 　　This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate. 　　Legal “Insurance” 　　The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action. 　　1. is the best way to be charged for legal services. 　　A. Results-oriented billing 　　B. Hourly billing 　　C. Flat-fee billing 　　2. A flat-fee approach . 　　A. is suitable for repetitive tasks 　　B. is useless 　　C. is the best choice. 　　3. make the law firm share your risk and encouragement. 　　A. Contract fees 　　B. Blended hourly fees 　　C. Contingency fees 　　4. Legal work involving a number of legal specialties should consider using . 　　A. blended hourly fees 　　B. insurance fees 　　C. hourly fees 　　5.

9. 9. 正误判断题 　　NEW YORK – The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty. They would state their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday. 　　Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it.” 　　Ali and four other men are accused of killing nearly 3,000 people in the nation's deadliest terrorist attack. The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that they will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the World Trade Center site. 　　Ali is also known as Ammar al-Baluchi. He is a nephew of claimed 9/11 planner, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. 　　Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain “their assessment of American foreign policy,” Fenstermaker said. 　　“Their assessment is negative,” he said. 　　Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken with the others. But he said the men have discussed the trial among themselves. 　　Fenstermaker was first quoted in The New York Times in Sunday's editions. 　　Critics of Attorney General Eric Holder decided to try the men in a New York City civilian courthouse. It has warned that the trial would provide the defendants with a propaganda platform. 　　Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Sunday that while the men may attempt to use the trial to express their views, “we believe the courts and the federal judge may govern the trial. The course of justice will be led appropriately and with minimal break, as federal courts have done in the past.” 　　1. The five men thought that the U.S. foreign policy should be blamed for the 911 attack. 　　2. Scott Fenstermaker is the lawyer for Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and four other men. 　　3. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 911 attack. 　　4. The press didn't care about this civilian federal trial. 　　5. We can infer from the article that the prisoners also have their freedom to express their own views in the U.S.A.

17. 6. 正误判断题 　　I've been living in the country for more than 10 years. It means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me. 　　Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores, preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most attractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc. 　　Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market, or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I can’t say enough. 　　I really enjoy living the country life. I know it’s not for everyone, but I know it's for me. 　　1. The author has lived in the countryside for more than a decade, and he/she loves living there. 　　2. Living in the country is not busy at all. 　　3. The author takes a walk or drives along country roads almost every day. 　　4. People living in the country usually go shopping every Saturday. 　　5. According to the author, nobody dislikes countryside life.

For many students B. a major barrier C. equality in access to education D. different people E. non-traditional students 　　The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty. 　　A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable. 　　Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from , not just about their experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system. 　　Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to . 　　 , university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and . As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system? 　　Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.

43. 6. 正误判断题 　　All communication begins with the sender and ends with the receiver. The sender is responsible for successful conveyance. The sender's personality, beliefs, cultural and educational background all influence the message and it is important for the sender to be aware of this as he or she is encoding the message. Simply put, encoding is translating information into symbols that represent the ideas or concepts of the message that needs sending. These symbols are usually words in written or spoken form. To ensure successful communication, the sender should know as much about his or her audience – the receiver – as possible in order to focus and support the encoding process. 　　In addition to this awareness of self and encoding, the sender must choose the proper channel for conveying the message. Using the wrong channel may result in miscommunication. Like the sender, receivers are influenced by internal factors: their personality, their receptivity to the message or their relationship to the sender. Additionally, their current feelings, mood, or state of mind can affect a message. Once the message moves through the channel, the receiver then decodes it. The receiver uses his or her own experience and the context of the message to interpret its meaning. 　　Feedback is the return message from the receiver to the sender. It is feedback that enables the sender to know whether the message was received successfully or not. Therefore it is essential to the communication process. 　　This process, though very common, is fraught with potential breakdown at every turn. Spoken or written language is inherently easy to misinterpret. In conclusion, effective and successful Communication takes place when the message is successfully received and the receiver provides the sender with desirable feedback. 　　1. The sender's gender also influences the message. 　　2. Encoding is a process that translating information into symbols which serve as the ideas or concepts of the message that will be sent later. 　　3. These symbols are usually words and sentences in written form. 　　4. Channel is not crucial for conveying the message. 　　5. Feedbacks enable the sender to know whether the receiver has received the message successfully or not.

49. 6. 选择题 　　Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. 　　Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team. 　　In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests. 　　People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.” 　　1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in . 　　A. India 　　B. Pennsylvania 　　C. Oklahoma 　　2. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT . 　　A. fishing 　　B. singing 　　C. swimming 　　3. Jim Thorpe started to play sports . 　　A. before he was 9 years old 　　B. when he was 16 years old 　　C. when he was 24 years old 　　4. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means . 　　A. jumping 　　B. five track and field events 　　C. ten track and field events 　　5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? 　　A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education. 　　B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games. 　　C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.
