问答题中俄油气合作目前发展的势头很好，在未来合作的道路上，可能还会遇到各种各样的困难，有时甚至会出现挑战大于机遇的情况。中俄双方现在都已认识到，中俄油气合作是大势所趋，对双方谋划后金融危机时代本国经济的发展，都有着重大的战略意义。尤其是对中方而言，在经济全球化的大背景下，在对能源资源争夺十分激烈的国际市场环境里，国家对能源的需求量不断增大的形势下，中国会在较长时间里一直处于买方地位，应当更加重视中俄油气合作。我们与俄罗斯开展油气合作，不是权宜之计，既要看到不利因素，保持清醒的头脑，又要看到有利条件，看到潜力，看清前景，着眼长远发展战略，运用大智慧，积极务实地推进中俄油气合作。

问答题Directions: Please read the following article in Chinese carefully, and then write a summary of 200 words in English on the ANSWER SHEET. Make sure that you cover all the major points of the article. 美国癌症协会报告说，美国癌症致死人数在2004年继续减少，这是继2003年以来连续第二年人数下降。 协会报告表示，这一结论显示，去年发布的2003年癌症致死人数出现70多年以来的小幅下降的报告是可靠的，也可能是人数继续下降的开始，而不仅仅是在调查中侥幸得出的数据。 2003—2004年，癌症致死的人数下降了3014人，在去年公布的数据上(2002—2003年的癌症致死人数)有了相当大的增加。 美国癌症协会把死亡人数的减少部分归结为减少吸烟和改善直肠癌、乳腺癌、前列腺癌的诊疗技术。就手头上的数据显示，人数减少最多的是因直肠癌致死的，其中男性死亡人数减少了1110人，女性减少了1094人。 流行病学专业执行主任兼癌症协会监督伊丽莎白·沃德博士认为，死亡人数的减少最主要是由于在治疗直肠癌中使用了筛选测定法。这种方法使得癌症在最可治愈的早期就被发现，甚至还能找到癌症早期出现的息肉，并在其转化成恶性肿瘤前将其切除，从而达到完全预防癌症的目的。 尽管只有大约半数的需要进行筛选的成年人进行了必要的检查，但在直肠癌诊疗方面的进步还是令人瞩目的。如果更多的人参与到筛选中来，死亡人数和发病率可能下降得更多。 柳格特博士表示，在直肠癌死亡人数下降的原因中，治疗方法和药物的改善也功不可没。 “1998—2000年之间，直肠癌的治疗方法经历了一次革命。‘革命’还不足以显示其重要性，”柳格特博士认为。“我们从以前的只有单一的药物到有了六七种好的药物。这大大提高了治愈率和病人的存活率。” “癌症死亡率的下降最终导致了总的人口死亡率的下降，这确实是这些年在控制烟草、疾病早期诊疗与筛选项目和临床及基础研究项目上的努力和投资的反映，”沃德博士表示。“我们已经取得了许多成就，但我们还有很多事情要做。” 沃德博士说，最让人关心的是非裔美国人在几乎所有种类的癌症中的死亡率都明显比白人高出很多。研究人员还没有完全找到原因。他们认为，收入、教育、医疗差距是死亡人数差距的一些原因，但不完全归结于此。 沃德博士认为，“如果我们真的希望利用我们所掌握的技术继续在癌症诊疗中取得进步，我们必须找到一种途径，让所有人都能得到他们所需要的如何预防癌症的信息，并保证所有人都能够接受早期诊疗——高质量的治疗。这样，10～20年以后，这种差距就将不再会存在了。” 注意：写作部分要求50分钟内完成。

问答题A chilling feature of the suicide video left by Mohammad Sidique Khan, the leader of the band that killed more than 50 people in London in July, 2005, was the homely Yorkshire accent in which he told his countrymen that "your" government is at war with "my people". What makes a Muslim in Britain or America wake up and decide that he is no longer a Briton or American but an Islamic "soldier" fighting a holy war against the infidel? Part of it must be pull, part is presumably push. George Bush has repeated like a scratched gramophone record that Americans were at war with the terrorists who had attacked them on 9/11, not at war with Islam. (46) Barack Obama has followed suit: the White House national security strategy published in May says that one way to guard against radicalisation at home is to stress that "diversity is part of our strength—not a source of division or insecurity. " This is hardly rocket science. (47) And that reminding Americans of the difference—a real one, by the way, not one fabricated for the purposes of political correctness—between Islam, a religion with a billion adherents, and A1 Qaeda, a terrorist outfit that claims to speak in Islam's name but has absolutely no right to do so. Why would any responsible American politician want to erase that vital distinction? Good question. (48) Ask Sarah Palin, or Newt Gingrich, or the many others who have lately clamored about the offensive campaign to stop Cordoba House, a proposed community centre and mosque, from being built in New York two blocks from the site of the twin towers. In a tweet last month from Alaska, Ms Palin called on "peaceful Muslims" to "repudiate" the "ground zero mosque" because it would "stab" American hearts. But why should it? Cordoba House is not being built by Al Qaeda. To the contrary, it is the brainchild of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, a well meaning American cleric who has spent years trying to promote interfaith understanding. He is modelling his project on New York's 92nd Street Y, a Jewish community centre that reaches out to other religions. The site was selected precisely so that it might heal some of the wounds opened by the felling of the twin towers and all that followed. True, some relatives of 9/11 victims are hurt by the idea of a mosque going up near the site. (49) But that feeling of hurt makes sense only if they too buy the false idea that Muslims in general were perpetrators of the crime. Besides, what about the feelings, and for that matter the rights, of America's Muslims—some of whom also perished in the atrocity? (50) It is impossible to excuse the mean spirit and scrambled logic of Mr Ginger's assertion that "there should be no mosque near ground zero so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia". To Mr Gingrich, it seems, an American Muslim is a Muslim first and an American second. Al Qaeda would doubtless concur. Mr Gingrich also objects to the centre's name. Imam Feisal says he chose "Cordoba" in recollection of a time when the rest of Europe had sunk into the Dark Ages but Muslims, Jews and Christians created an oasis of art, culture and science. Mr Gingrich sees only a "deliberate insult", a reminder of a period when Muslim conquerors ruled Spain. Like Mr bin Laden, Mr Gingrich is apparently still reiterating the victories and defeats of religious wars fought in Europe and the Middle East centuries ago. He should rejoin the modern world, before he does real harm.

问答题What are you doing when you aren't doing anything at all? If you said "nothing," then you have just passed a test in logic and failed a test in neuroscience. (46)When people perform mental tasks, different areas of their brains become active, and brain scans show these active areas as brightly colored squares on an otherwise dull gray background. But researchers have recently discovered that when these areas of our brains light up, other areas go dark. This dark network is off when we seem to be on, and on when we seem to be off. When we appear to be doing nothing, we are clearly doing something. But what? The answer, it seems, is time travel. (47)The human body moves forward in time at the rate of one second per second whether we like it or not, but the human mind can move through time in any direction and at any speed it chooses. Why did evolution design our brains to go wandering in time? Perhaps it's because an experi- ence is a terrible thing to waste. (48)Time travel allows us to pay for an experience once and then have it again and again at no additional charge, learning new lessons with each repetition. Animals learn by trial and error, and the smarter they are, the fewer trials they need. Traveling backward buys us many trials for the price of one, but traveling forward allows us to dispense with trials entirely. (49)Just as pilots practice flying in flight simulators, the rest of us practice living in life simulators, and our ability to simulate future courses of action and preview their consequences en- ables us to learn from mistakes without making them. The dark network allows us to visit the future, but not just any future: only when we move ourselves through time does it come alive. Perhaps the most startling fact about the dark network isn't what it does but how often it does it. Neurosci- entists refer to it as the brain's default mode, which is to say that we spend more of our time away from the present than in it. (50)People typically overestimate how often they are in the moment because they rarely take notice when they take leave; it is only when the environment demands our attention that our mental time ma- chines switch themselves off. We stay just long enough to take a message and then we slip off again to the land of Elsewhen, our dark networks awash in fight.
