问答题Researchers have studied the poor as individuals, as families and households, as members of poor communities, neighborhoods and regions, as products of larger poverty creating structures. They have been analyzed as victims of crime and criminals, as members of minority cultures, as passive consumers of mass culture and active producers of a "counterculture", as participants in the informal economy, as inventors of survival strategies, as an economic burden and as a reserve army of labor—to mention just some of the preoccupations of poverty research. The elites, who occupy the small upper stratum within the category of the non-poor, and their functions in the emergence and reproduction of poverty are as interesting and important an object for poverty research as are the poor themselves. The elites have images of the poor and of poverty which shape their decisions and actions. So far, little is known about those images, except as they are sketchily portrayed in popular stereotypes. The elites may well ignore or deny the external effects of their own actions upon the living conditions of the poor. Many social scientists may take a very different view. As poverty emerged and was reproduced, legal frameworks were created to contain the problems it caused with profound, and largely unknown, consequences for the poor themselves. In general, political, educational and social institutions tend to ignore or even damage the interests of the poor. In constructing a physical infrastructure for transport, industry, trade and tourism, the settlements of the poor are often the first to suffer or to be left standing and exposed to pollution, noise and crowding.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. In a quiet courtroom tucked away in a federal building here, a titanic battle is competing free speech against government efforts to protect children from the seemingly limitless pages of pornography in cyberspace. Titled simply enough, the American Library Association vs. the United States of American, the trial will determine the constitutionality of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). (46) {{U}}Passed by Congress in December 2000, the law requires all libraries that receive federal technology funds to install "protection measures" on all computers that have access to the Internet{{/U}}. In other words, they must have blocking software to prevent youngsters from accidentally, or even intentionally, getting a peek at the multitude of hard-core sites available with just a few well-placed clicks on a computer terminal. To free-speech advocates from librarians to the American Civil Liberties Union, it's a well-intentioned but dangerous assault on America's First Amendment freedoms. (47) {{U}}They argue that even the best blocking software is so flawed that it would also limit adult access to a wide array of constitutionally protected speech{{/U}}. "It's very easy to suggest that we all believe in the First Amendment, we just want to keep our kids safe," says John Berry, president of the American Library Association in Chicago. (48) {{U}}"But as soon as you start making those kinds of concessions, you began to undermine one of our founding principles, and you can't sacrifice those kinds of things for a little temporary security{{/U}}." Supporters of the Internet-filtering law argue that the First Amendment has nothing to do with CIPA because it's nothing more than a funding bill. If libraries have objections, they simply don't have to accept the federal funds upon which the blocking software's use is conditioned. There's the whole issue of the blocking software itself: Does it work or not? (49){{U}} One study of more than 7,000 websites that had been blocked by the various software companies found that between 65 and 70 percent of the sites were "deemed to have potential value" to a library user. As to worries about overblocking, the law's supporters note the law allows adults to ask a librarian to turn off the blocking software{{/U}}. (50) {{U}}But the librarians argue that the mandatory filter does take discretion away from librarians and their communities, which pay for about 80 percent of the average library's budget, and gives it to the federal government{{/U}}. After this three-judge panel rules, one side or the other is expected to file an appeal, and that will go directly to the Supreme Court.

问答题一位研究人员指出，你在情人节亲吻爱人时多半会把头转向右侧，这是一种胎儿期的偏好造成的。 德国鲁尔大学的奥纳报告说，他在德国、土耳其和美国的公共场所窥视124对情侣，看他们在亲嘴时会偏向左边还是右边，结果发现其中2/3的人会将头向右偏。 奥纳在《自然》杂志上说，此前的研究表明胎儿在妊娠的最后几周及刚出生的半年中也倾向于把头靠向右边而不是左边。 因此，对亲吻的调查结果说明早期的头部转向偏好可能影响到了成人期的行为。他说，人们用右脚、右耳和右眼的机会差不多比用左脚、左耳和左眼多一倍。说明这些行为偏好可能也与此相关。 不过，惯用右手的人在人群中的优势却要大得多，他们与左撇子的比例大约是8:1，可见，左右手偏好要么与前述偏好没有关联，要么就是受到了文化的影响。 奥纳在机场、火车站、沙滩以及公园里观察情侣们亲吻，他估计这些人的年龄在13～70岁之间。

问答题实现十八大提出的奋斗目标，全面建成小康社会、顺利实现现代化，基础在教育、重点在村。从一定意义上说，村教育是兴国之基、惠民之要，关乎经济社会发展全局，关乎社会公平正义。九年义务教育是人生连续受教育时间最长的阶段，是打牢人生基础的关键阶段，对人的发展和未来幸福具有决定性影响。在义务教育阶段，农村学校占全国85%以上，农村学生占全国70%以上，覆盖了同龄学生的大多数。因此，办好农村教育，直接关系2020年教育现代化目标的实现。农村义务教育还是城乡统筹发展的连接点，只有为数以亿计的农村孩子提供公平而有质量的义务教育，才能缩小城乡差距，实现社会公平；才能为工业化、信息化、城镇化、农业现代化同步发展提供人才支撑，全面建成小康社会。习近平总书记在十八大之后到河北阜平考察时讲，“下一代要过上好生活，首先要有文化。义务教育一定要搞好，让孩子们受到好的教育”。可以说，农村义务教育重中之重的地位怎么强调都不为过。

问答题With the nation"s financial system teetering on a cliff. The compensation arrangements for executives of the big banks and other financial firms are coming under close examination again. Bankers" excessive risk-taking is a significant cause of this financial crisis and has continued, to others in the past, in this case, it was fueled by low interest rates and kept going by a false sense of security created by a debt-fueled bubble in the economy. Mortgage lenders gladly lent enormous sums to those who could not afford to pay them back dividing the laws and selling them off to the next financial institution along the chain, advantage of the same high-tech securitization to load on more risky mortgage-based assets. Financial regulation will have to catch up with the most irresponsible practices that led banks down in this road, in hopes averting the next crisis, which is likely to involve different financial techniques and different sorts of assets. But it is worth examining the root problem of compensation schemes that are tied to short-term profits and revenues, and thus encourage bankers to take irresponsible risks.

问答题Suddenly, as you may have noticed, millennials are everywhere. Not that this group of people born after 1980 and before 2000—a giant group now estimated to number at least 80 million Americans, more than the baby boom generation—was ever invisible. What"s changed is their status. Spoiled and helicoptered, catered to by 24-hour TV cable networks, fussed over by marketers and college recruiters, analyzed by psychologists, demographers and trend-spotters, the millennial generation has come fully into its own. The word "millennial," whether as noun or adjective, has monopolized the nonstop cultural conversation, invariably freighted with time spirit import. The New York Times is no exception. A recent search of The New York Times database turned up no fewer than 122 mentions of "millennial" so far in 2014, on topics ranging from TV and pop music to travel and literature.

问答题 Green space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. (46) {{U}}At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the basis of a closely-reasoned scientific proof{{/U}}. The recognition of the importance of green space in the urban environment is a first step on the right way. (47) {{U}}This does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of green space in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces{{/U}}. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of green space facilities. (48) {{U}}The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation, which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there has been relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home{{/U}}. (49) {{U}}We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working is used for activities at and around home{{/U}}. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the front door. (50) {{U}}The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect{{/U}}. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the front door is shut.
