问答题Global trade and the economic incentive polices of individual national economies will play an important role in the recovery from the current global decline. The US economy is promoting from the global economy during the current global decline. It may not feel like that, as we in the US now have about one-sixth of the labor force officially unemployed or underemployed. But the national income accounting is real. If not for our shrinking trade surplus, for example, the first quarter of this year would have seen a fall of 7.9% of GDP, instead of 5.5%. That's a big difference in terms of output and employment. Countries that export a lot get hit harder in the decline as their trade surplus shrinks. And countries that export significant amounts to the US have also been hit hard. This seems to offer a lesson for developing countries. It's good to make your trade diverse, and maybe not become excessively dependent on markets where there are enormous asset bubbles.

问答题What are the three metafunctions of Systemic Functional Grammar? Illustrate each of them with specific examples. (武汉大学2011年研)

问答题Translate the following English passage into Chinese. The economist Alan Krueger, author of a new book called "What Makes a Terrorist?" explores this phenomenon with a systematic study of the evidence. He concludes that terrorists, political extremists and those who commit hate crimes are often relatively well-to-do. This is a difficult thing to prove, not least because each of those categories is controversial and there is a world of difference between, say, Northern Ireland and Sri Lanka. Krueger dips into different sources of data, each one imperfect, trying to build up a compelling picture from opinion polls, biographies of terrorists and broader studies. Opinion polls from Gaza and the West Bank, conducted last week show that students and professionals are more likely than the unemployed or laborers to say that terrorism can be justified, and more likely to deny that a suicide bombing in a Tel Aviv night club should be described as "a terrorist act". When a graduate student at Princeton, the young economist Claude Berrebi gathered data on more than 40 Palestinian suicide bombers; he concluded that they were far better educated than the typical Palestinian, and also richer. Krueger offers a complementary picture using biographies of 129 fighters killed in action, although not necessarily while attempting a terrorist attack. They, too, were somewhat better educated and less likely to be poor than the typical young Lebanese man of the time. All in all, the research that Krueger gathers together suggests that if there is a link between poverty, education and terrorism, it is the opposite of the one popularly assumed. We should not be surprised to find that terrorists can add up, read, and even write prescriptions.

问答题每个人一生中都该有个志向，否则他的精力便会浪费掉。每个青年人都力求成为一个有成就的人。一个青年人只期望富有是不明智的，或只专心于求得权力与名望也是不对的。一个希望做有成就的青年人，通常这个梦想就能实现。狄斯拉里(Disraeli)的故事是个例证。狄斯拉里开始过公众生活时渴望成为一名学者和演说家。他在文学方面的成就比演说方面更为成功。起初他作为一个演说家时是完全失败的。不过，他认为有把握克服障碍，遂以不屈不挠的精神致力于这个目标的实现。他的一些朋友认为他这个念头是蠢的，甚至是古怪的，但他坚持目标不舍，最后终于成功，成为英国知识最渊博、雄辩力最强的演说家之一。引用这个故事并不是说明：只是大学者或演说家，或二者兼而有之者才是有成就的人。除了做学者或演说家之外。还有许多同样高尚与可敬的职业。它只是用来说明一个青年人须志向高远，因为“宁可志高而达不到目标，也不要志低而达到”。

问答题TOPIC Do you agree that history repeats itself? Provide examples to support your viewpoints.

问答题The next 15 years is an important period that links our country's past with our future in reform and opening-up and in the socialist modernization drive. We have had a relatively solid material and technical foundation through years of socialist construction since the founding of People's Republic of China and especially through the rapid development since the implementation of the policy of reform and opening to the outside world. The vast domestic market and the relatively large savings deposits are a tremendous promise for development. 51. The deepening of reform and opening; up will further invigorate economic development. Social stability and national unity provide the basic guarantee for the modernization drive. Furthermore, the theory, the line and the policy of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, which evolved through practice, clearly indicate the direction for continued progress. 52. Viewed from a global perspective, the peaceful international environment and our country's good peripheral relations can be expected to continue and therefore we can persist in our efforts towards sustainable development. The scientific and technical advancement in the world and the industrial restructuring as well as the rapid economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region provide favorable conditions for economic development in China. However, there are quite a few factors that can impede progress in our medium-and-long range development. The prominent ones of these factors are: the deficiency in per-capita resources, the overall low quality of the national economy, pressure in matching the economic, scientific and technical superiority of the developed countries in the increasingly stiff international competition, and pressures exerted by hegemonies and power politics in the international relations. 53. A comprehensive assessment of the domestic and international situation at the turn of the century shows that we are faced rare historical opportunities as well as serious challenges. We must be vigilant in peacetime, work with a pioneering spirit and make greater strides on the road to modernization. The major objectives for our endeavor over the next 15 years are as follows: Complete the second phase of the strategic plan for the modernization drive during the period of the 9th Five- year Plan and quadruple the per-capita gross national product of 1980 under the condition that the population in 2000 will have increased by 300 million over the 1980; raise the people's living standards to that of a fairly comfortable life with poverty basically eradicated; and expedite the formation of a modern enterprise system and establish preliminarily a socialist market economy. The gross national product in the year 2010 will be doubled that of the year 2000; the people of China will enjoy an even more comfortable life, .and a fairly ideal socialist market economy will have come into being. 54. While carrying out the reform and stepping up development, we must achieve marked results in promoting socialist culture and ideology and in strengthening socialist democracy and the legal system, so as to attain all-round social progress. The objectives of our endeavor present a beautiful prospect for our modernization drive beyond the turn of the century and embody the lofty aspiration of the Chinese nation to self-reliance and continuous improvement. 55. With the fulfillment of these objectives, China's productive forces, comprehensive national strength and the people' s living standards will all attain a new high, and the nation' s social and economic perspective will have undergone tremendous historic changes, which will lay a firm foundation for the realization of modernization by the middle of the 21st century. These objectives are truly grand and will definitely be fulfilled through our hard work.

问答题Who would have thought that globally, the IT industry produces about the same volume of greenhouse gases as the world"s airlines do — roughly 2 percent of all CO 2 emission? Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 0.7 grams of CO 2 , depending on how many attempts are needed to get the right answer. To deliver results to its users quickly, then Google has to maintain vast data centers around the world, packed with powerful computers. While producing large quantities of CO 2 , these computers emit a great deal of heat, so the centers need to be well air-conditioned, which uses even more energy. However, Google and other big tech providers monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements. Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction, but there is much more to be done, and not just by big companies.
