问答题Euthanasia can be either active or passive: (46) Active euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel take a deliberate action that will induce death, such as administering an overdose of morphine, insulin , or barbiturates, followed by an injection of curare. Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for lack of treatment, or suspending treatment that has begun. Examples of passive euthanasia include taking patient off a respirator (a breathing apparatus) or removing other life -support systems. Stopping the food supply--usually intravenous feeding to comatose patients--has also been used. A good deal of the controversy about mercy killing stems from the decision - making process. Who decides if a patient is to die? This issue has not been established legally. (47) In the United States the matter is left to state law, which usually allows the physician in charge to suggest the option of death to a patient' s relatives, especially if the patient is brain - dead. In an attempt to make decisions about when their own lives should end, several terminally iii patients in the early 1990s used a controversial suicide device , developed by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, to end their lives. In parts of Europe, the decision - making process has become very flexible. (48) Even in cases that are not terminal, patients have been put to death without their consent at the request of relatives or at the insistence of physicians. Many capes of involuntary euthanasia in valve older people. Newborn infants suffering from incurable conditions are also routinely allowed to die. The principle underlying this practice is that such individuals have a concept that "life not worthy of life". This concept was devised in Germany during the Nazi regime (1933 -45) , when numerous killings of the aged, mentally iii, handicapped, and others were authorized by the state. In countries where involuntary euthanasia is not .legal , the court systems have proved very lenient in dealing with medical personnel who practice it. (49) Courts have also been somewhat lenient with friends or relatives who have assisted terminally iii patients to die or who have, in some cases ,killed them directly. Medical advances in recent decades have made it possible to keep terminally ill people alive far beyond any hope of recovery or improvement. For this reason the "living will" has come into common use in the United States as part of the right - to - die principle. (50) Most states now legally allow the making of such wills that instruct hospitals and physicians to suspend treatment in hopeless cases or to re fuse futile life - support measures when chances of recovery are nonexistent. The 20th - century euthanasia movement began in England in 1935, with the founding of the Voluntary Euthanasia Legislation Society. In the United States the Society for the Right to Die was founded in 1938.

问答题今年是中国发展进程中不平凡的一年。中国新一届中央领导集体提出实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦，带领13亿中国人民朝着实现“两个一百年”的奋斗目标迈进。这就是，到2020年全面建成小康社会，到本世纪中叶建成社会主义现代化国家。走过五千载岁月沧桑，历经一百年兴衰沉浮，当代中国站到了新的历史起点上。 未来的中国，将会坚持一条什么样的发展道路，奉行什么样的内外政策，发挥什么样的国际作用，相信这些问题都是国际社会非常关心的。

问答题如同中了魔法一般，几乎所有的英国家长都突然捡起了念书给孩子听的习惯。1．英国电力公司Powergen委托组织的一次调查发现《哈里波特》系列以及一些更早的经典著作已经掀起了一场真正的睡前革命。现在有90%的英国家长念书给孩子听，而在2000年这一比例只有40%。 2．Powergen认为这种增长是由于他们所称的“大小人”书流行，这样的书对孩子和大人有同样的吸引力。“随着现时像《指环王》这样的儿童经典著作在电影院中复兴，家长们对自己儿时读过的书籍产生了新的兴趣，要么就是第一次有了去读它们的愿望，”Powergen的一份声明中援引心理学家艾里克的话。 3．正如家长和孩子都可以从幻想中得到乐趣一样，这些小说也为家长和孩子提出了一起讨论的重要问题。与家长分享意见和看法对孩子情感和创造力的发展是至关重要的。看来《哈里波特》能改善亲子关系，其文字的力量真不可小视。

问答题The produce departments of the future may look like nothing on earth, and with good reason. Chinese scientists have been growing tomatoes the size of softballs, cucumbers as long as baseball bats and other outsize fruits and vegetables, using seeds that have been shot into space. The seeds are then exposed to seven types of extraterrestrial conditions, from zero gravity and cosmic radiation to subatomic particles. (46) As these space veggies grow back on earth, they are selected for desirable traits—bulk, appearance or certain nutrients—then bred through successive generations to ensure that the mutations are consistent. Chinese scientists don"t understand exactly how a trip into space alters the seeds"DNA and yields such effects, but it"s not just size that changes. (47) Tong Yichao, whose firm, the Beijing Flying Eagle Green Foods Group, has been sending seeds and seedlings aboard Chinese spacecraft since 1999, says it has grown space tomatoes with 27 percent more of the antioxidant beta carotene than ordinary ones, and six-foot-tall cotton plants that produce longer, more flexible threads. Using conventional methods, "a scientist might create just three new plants in his lifetime," says Tong. "We"ve developed more than 50 since 1999." (48) A dozen or so Chinese firms are paying up to $45,000 a gram to place various flora aboard satellites and manned spacecraft. The long-term goal: to feed more people and help endangered species escape extinction. To date, nearly 3,000 botanical species—including garden vegetables, medicinal herbs and flowers—have been sent into orbit and brought back to earth. (49) The commercial promise of China"s space veggies has yet to, er, bear fruit. It"s legal to sell the cosmic produce, and commercial farms have purchased some space plants. But most are being developed in labs or experimental greenhouses because no one wants to go to market before the safety and Quality of the produce have been established. Even so, the idea of space flora is proving irresistible to a novelty-loving Chinese public. (50) When Tong displayed a handful of monster space eggplants—the largest of which weighed more than four pounds—at an expo, one disappeared before the show opened. Hot stuff, for sure.

问答题Directions：In this part there is an essay in Chinese．Read it carefully and then write a summary of 200 words in English on the ANSWER SHEET．Make sure that your summary covers the major points of the essay． 吸烟与健康 吸烟是一种不健康的生活习惯，吸烟对人体的危害有：吸烟可以破坏人体的营养成分。吸烟可以阻止人体对维生素C的吸收，尼古丁对维生素C有直接的破坏作用。人体如果长期缺乏维生素C，就有得坏血病的可能。吸烟可以诱发多种疾病。由于吸入体内的烟对呼吸道、消化道等器官有恶性刺激作用，因而有人认为它是胃及十二指肠溃疡、呼吸道感染甚至为口、唇、舌、食道、呼吸道等癌症的诱发因素。吸烟可以直接毒杀生命。动物实验获得了惊人结果：再大的马也经不住注射8滴尼古丁，就会很快死亡；活蹦乱跳的狗，用不了一滴尼古丁注射到静脉里就可以将它置于死地；另外，在让某些动物长期吸烟后，可以发现其有血管收缩甚至硬化的明显趋向。 吸烟对人体健康来说有百害而无一利。所以要尽量戒除或少吸。主动吸烟的害处：吸烟是发生蛋白尿的独立因素。年青糖尿病人蛋白尿的产生与发展、肾疾病的恶化均与吸烟有关。在吸烟者中，蛋白尿和视网膜病变都比不吸烟者进展更快，停止吸烟的病人蛋白尿迅速改善。最可怕的是，由于烟中含有苯和焦油，还有多种放射性物质能致癌，90％的肺癌患者为吸烟引起的。男性膀胱癌病例至少有60％是由吸烟引起的，还有口腔癌和喉癌等。过期的烟草产品因含有霉菌，使人得癌的危险更大。 吸烟上瘾，吸烟量不断增加，吸烟的费用也与日俱增。日积月累，成为一笔很大的开销。本可用于正途的钱，如增加营养，添置衣物，教育开支等，都要缩减，甚至是放弃了。农民、工人等吸烟就造成更大的经济压力和身体损害，可谓雪上加霜。 吸烟上瘾的人手足自困，失去了个人自由选择的空间。他出门前要费心查看个人的香烟、打火机和买烟的零钱是否齐全，前往某处先要了解该地是否禁烟，从事某些活动，也得要及时找到可以点烟之所，才感到心安理得……这种种考虑和限制都增加了吸烟者的心事和约束，而降低了他的自由和选择。 说来说去，吸烟者都已自贬一级，沦为香烟的“阶下囚”了。这个无形的损失和实质的限制有多么大!社会在不断进步，吸烟有害和吸烟失礼的认识在不断加强。烟民聚集之处多是知识程度和社会地位低下的人群，文明世界的上流社会里吸烟行为已难以立足。有社会地位的人如不能洁身自好，而以吸烟者的面貌公开出现，便是自损形象和自贬身价了。室内吸烟，烟灰四散，污染空气，谁在现场谁受害。室外吸烟，烟头遍地，破坏环境的清洁和卫生。所以，无论是在哪里吸烟都是污染环境，可谓一无是处。 由吸烟而引起的各种疾病不是不可逆转的，只要戒烟后，都能改善或痊愈，恢复健康。一般吸烟者对吸烟的种种有害之处大多是一知半解，或不求甚解。他们要维持自己无法戒除或不想戒除的吸烟习惯，就不会对吸烟有害做深入切实的探讨。唯有吸烟者对吸烟有害在认识上迈进一步，他们才会兴起戒烟念头，最后走上戒烟成功之路。

问答题There is a marked difference between the education which every one gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association. 【T1】 It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. 【T2】 Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output. But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance. 【T3】 While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account. 【T4】 Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no t we are forming the powers which will secure this ability. If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young. 【T5】 We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education — that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.
