问答题How many parts are there in The Waste Land?

问答题"Sustainability" has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice. Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He"d been through the dot-corn boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency. It didn"t go well. "It was a really bad move because that"s not my passion," says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. "I was miserable. I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, "Just wait, you"ll turn the corner, give it some time.""

问答题 Lee Kuan Yew (李光耀) embodies a uniquely Asian approach to governance that has often been at odds with the Western democratic principles. {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}For decades, he has spoken in favor of "Asian values", a political philosophy that might be loosely summed up as respect for authority and order, while putting the good of society above that of the individual.{{/U}} His criticisms have focused on the excesses of democracy, particularly freedom of speech, and the impact they have on the search for economic growth. {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}In the past, Lee has not been shy about singling out those nations in which an excess of democracy's messiness has tempered steady economic progress and the betterment of the life chances of ordinary folk.{{/U}} But the strength of his argument does not rest only on other nations' failures. For as any visitor can attest, the scale of what Lee and his colleagues have achieved by applying his principles is simply astonishing. It is an almost miraculous achievement, and one in which Lee and his colleagues take justifiable pride. It is, moreover, something that has been much admired, to the point of imitation, around the region. {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Asian leaders like Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir and Indonesia's President Suharto may rarely have chosen to admit it, but their "economy first" strategy owes much to the intelligence of this Cambridge-educated lawyer{{/U}}. Above all China's leaders have for three decades come to Singapore to listen, to learn, and to admire. Yet for all Singapore's success, there remains a feeling that it has come at a price. Lee's methods have found plenty of critics at home and abroad. {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Ordinary Singaporeans when questioned about tics of Lee and his family, without quite knowing it, they often instinctively lower their voices and glance over their shoulders.{{/U}} "People are still too frightened to talk about the taboo subjects," wrote Catherine Lim. There are few voices prepared to speak out in favor of wider democratic debate. {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}For his part, Lee Kuan Yew acknowledges that there is a need to make Singaporeans less dependent on the government and to encourage more open debate{{/U}}. He insists that the ruling Party can absorb and benefit from dissenting voices. But he is determined that Singaporeans are not yet ready for the vociferous free market of ideas that typifies, for example, politics in the U.S. "I see the marketplace of ideas, as in the Philippines, and I see chaos," he says, while adding: "Gradually, we will loosen up."

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text Carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. The level of economic and industrial development enjoyed by a state affects the foreign policy goals it can pursue. (46) {{U}}As a general proposition, the more developed a state is economically, the more likely it is that it will play an activist role in the world political economy. {{/U}}Rich nations have interests that extend far beyond their borders and typically command the means necessary to pursue and protect them. (47) {{U}}Not coincidentally, countries that enjoy industrial capabilities and extensive involvement in international trade also tend to be militarily powerful, in part because military might is a function of economic capabilities.{{/U}} For two decades after world war two, the United States and the Soviet Union stood out as superpowers precisely because they benefited from that combination of economic and military capability including extensive arsenals of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them anywhere, that enabled both to practice unrestrained globalism. Their imperial reach and interventionist behaviors were seemingly unrestrained by limited wealth or resources. In fact, major powers have been involved in foreign conflict more frequently than minor powers. Although economically advanced nations are more active globally, this does not mean that their privileged circumstances dictate adventuresome policies. Rich nations are usually " satisfied" ones that have much to lose from the onset of revolutionary change or global instability. (48) {{U}}For this reason, they usually perceive preservation of the status quo as serving their interests best, and they often practice international economic policies designed to protect and expand their envied position at the pinnacle of the global hierarchy.{{/U}} Levels of productivity and prosperity also affect the foreign policies of the poor states at the bottom of the hierarchy. (49) {{U}}Some respond to their economic weakness by complying subserviently with the wishes of the rich on which they depend. Others rebel defiantly, and they sometimes succeed in resisting major power efforts to control their international behavior.{{/U}} Hence efforts to generalize about the economic foundations of states' international political behavior often prove unrewarding. Levels of economic development vary widely among states in the international system, but they do not by themselves determine foreign policies. (50) {{U}}Instead the opportunities and constraints that leaders perceive in their nation's attributes, rather than the actual level of development, may be the determining source of states' international conduct.{{/U}}

问答题Ⅰ. Read the following two fables. Do the English fable and the Chinese fable tell the same lesson? Or do they tell different lessons? Write ONE paragraph of about 80 words in English to explain your understanding of the two fables. You should analyze the fables to illustrate your point. The Wolf in Sheepskin Aesop There was once a wolf who grew tired of hunting for his food. "It"s such hard work and it"s no fun being .shot at by angry farmers." So he thought of a clever plan. He decided to wrap himself in a sheepskin and live in a sheep pen. Then when he grew hungry, he could kill a nice fat lamb for his dinner and not have to hunt to find it. However, that same night the farmer also decided that he would like lamb for dinner and went down to the sheep pen. It was very dark and the farmer grabbed and killed the first sheep he found. Imagine his surprise when he found he had killed a wolf! 披上虎皮的山羊 陈金安 有只山羊在森林里与那些跟它一样弱小的动物们生活在一起，平时它们都集体外出，走路都格外小心，就连吃草的时候也还得随时东张西望，提心吊胆地警惕着猛兽的侵袭。山羊觉得自己活得太委屈了，自己要是能像虎豹那样威风该多好。 一次，山羊独自走到森林边上，忽然发现地上有一张虎皮，也不知是哪一位猎人丢下的。开始，山羊还有些害怕，不敢上前去捡这张虎皮。几经犹豫后，山羊壮了壮胆，拾起了虎皮，它觉得挺有趣的。突然它灵机一动：要是我穿上这身虎皮，不也会很威风吗?谁会发现我是一只假老虎呢?于是，山羊把虎皮披在自己身上，在森林里走着。 当山羊走到自己的住地的时候，那些和自己一样弱小的动物突然看到“老虎”来了，都吓得跑的跑，躲的躲。四处逃窜。山羊见此情景，心里觉得自己果然很了不起。现在，自己再也不用提心吊胆地过日子了，山羊一边这样想着，一边向一片草地走去。 山羊来到草地上，伙伴们都不认识它了，一个个离它远远的。于是，披着虎皮的山羊自由自在地在草地上吃起草来。正当山羊香喷喷嚼着青草的时候，突然一只狼朝它走来。披着虎皮的山羊不由自主地颤抖起来。本来有点迟疑不决的狼看出了破绽，一下子扑倒假老虎，饱餐一顿，扬长而去。

问答题三中全会

问答题The Supreme Court's decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering. Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of "double effect", a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foresee is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect. Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients' pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.
