问答题Seventy years ago, a film featuring a talking mouse appeared in the United States. The character was only a pencil drawing, but it began a fantasy that America and much of the wider world have yet to grow tired of. Predicting the future is always risky. But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's "Disney era". The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person -- the man who created the cartoon and build the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically(讽刺地), he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fear of ordinary people. Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company -- unlike other big corporations -- had a human face. His Hollywood studio -- the public heard -- operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first-name terms and had a say in how things should be run. By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon(偶像) like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt" -- the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.1.What is the best title for the passage?

2. Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a
world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate.
Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be
able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they
would he as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial.
They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this
emotionlessness would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon
disappear: people would he as likely to harm one another as to provide help and
support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or
enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, bonds among
members of groups; society's economic underpinnings would be destroyed: since
earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would he
no incentive to work.

问答题Teamwork
Working together to plan for the growth and maintenance of something is a basic human need. People are gregarious by nature: our nature is to nurture. Work, with its limited ability to financially compensate employees, provides an unending source for intrinsic motivators and rewards. Teamwork pulls and puts people together to create and produce. It becomes a self-fulfilling reward system. It provides the spirit, enthusiasm, fun, “braintrust” and environment for creative conflict and competition that drives people to produce and excel.
Motivated employees, like motivated customers, are an investment for any company. In the final analysis, all businesses are customer service businesses, and all employees are emissaries. When checking its viability in the marketplace, every business must look at its responsibilities on both bottom lines: financial resources and human resources.

问答题The Empire State Building, the world"s tallest for four decades and still the tallest in New York City, will buy 100% wind power from Texas-based Green Mountain Energy Company. "It was a natural fit for us to combine 100% clean energy with our nearly completed, groundbreaking energy efficiency retrofit work," Anthony E. Malkin, president of Malkin Holdings, which runs the building, said in the announcement. "Clean energy and our nearly 40% reduced consumption of watts gives us a competitive advantage in attracting the best credit tenants at the best rents."
The two-year contract for 55 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy annually will prevent nearly 100 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions each year, according to Green Mountain. The company estimates the CO

reduction is the equivalent of nearly every house in New York state turning off their lights for a week or planting nearly 150,000 trees—more than six times the number in Central Park.
As part of its green retrofit, the Empire State Building has hired Serious Materials to remove, retrofit and replace each of its 6,514 double-hung, dual-pane windows. It"s also adding insulation and other upgrades.
问答题In general, cognitive(认知的) psychologists who study memory, language, and thought see these human behaviors as information processing involving input, processing (coding and storage ), and retrievel (检索). Perhaps the best and most obvious way to describe the information processing view of thought is to compare the human being with a computer. Information is coded and fed into a computer in an organized way. When the computer is asked to produce a part of that information, the machine searches its memory and outputs the information on a screen or prints it out. For example, we might ask for the names of all people hired by a large multinational bank on July 12, 1984. This relatively simple task is equivalent to asking you to search your memory for the names of the first seven presidents of the United States. Then we might ask the computer to tell us who among the workers hired on July 12, 1984, was the most productive. This task is more complex because these data do not exist in the computer precisely in that form. The computer could not simply reproduce information from its memory; to produce the data requested, it would have to process the information it did have -- analyze and manipulate it in some way. If the computer had data on the number of items processed per day, the absences, and the number of quality complaints for each worker, it could collect that information, analyze it, and answer the question. The operation of human cognitive processes is basically similar to the way a computer functions but except for speed of calculation, our abilities far surpass those of the most sophisticated computer. One area of research, known as artificial intelligence, concentrates on developing computer programs that reproduce certain human cognitive functions. Although some of the programs work well in certain simplified situations, no program can yet cope with the complex input and output functions required of most human beings. In order to understand how we process information, we will look at three stages -- input, processing (coding and storage), and retrieval -- in more detail.

问答题2009年中国经济成就 2009年，中国不仅成为引领全球经济复苏的主力军，同时在很多行业取得了瞩目成就。以下是2009年中国所取得的十个“之最” 1．GDP增长最快 2009年，当全世界仍笼罩在经济衰退的阴霾中时，中国前三季度经济同比增长7.7%。中国的经济增长速度超过包括印度在内的所有其他国家，全年GDP增幅超过8%。据国家统计局数据，2009年，中国一至三季度的GDP分别同比增长6.1%、7.9%和8.9%，经济复苏势头强劲而不失稳健。分析人士称，中国和其他发展中国家在带领世界经济走出泥潭的过程中发挥了重要作用。 2．成为世界第一大出口国 2009年，中国超过德国，成为全球最大出口国，这是中国迅速崛起、世界经济重心东移的又一标志。全年出口总额超过1.2万亿美元，超过德国贸易委员会对德国出口额所做出的8160亿欧元(1.17万亿美元)的预测。这一事实表明中国日益成为一个工业化大国，成为石油、铁矿石和其他重要物资的主要购买者，并日益成为全球经济中的一个投资者，扮演重要角色。 3．全球最大IPO(首次公开发行)市场 2009年，中国(包括香港)的首次公开发行融资规模超过美国，三年来首次取代其成为全球最大IPO市场。中国的首次公开发行融资规模达到516亿美元，香港和内地分别占272亿美元和244亿美元。而据英国Dealogic调查公司的数据，美国的这一数据仅为265亿美元。在香港新上市的66家企业中，有46家来自内地。其中，中国民生银行融资规模最大，达到302亿港元，在十家融资规模最大的企业中，有八家来自内地。 4．全球最大汽车市场 据中国汽车制造协会数据，2009年1月至11月，中国汽车销售总量超过1200万辆，从一月起一直在汽车销售和生产领域处于全球领先地位。 2006年，中国汽车总销售量为722万辆，超过日本，成为仅次于美国的世界第二大汽车市场。2009年1月，中国国产汽车销量达73.55万辆，超过美国成为世界最大汽车市场。去年前十个月，中国的汽车销售量达1090万辆，同比增长37.8%，首次突破千万大关。 受政府推出的减税以及对大排量汽车的以旧换新交易提供补贴等激励措施的影响，全年各类汽车总销量突破1300万，巩固了中国在全球汽车市场的领先地位。 5．民航经营状况全球最佳 截至2009年11月，中国民航业总赢利达118亿元(1713亿美元)，而根据国际航空运输协会的预测，全球民航业去年亏损可达110亿美元。 这一数据于去年12月14日在民航总局网站上公布，其中包括航线和机场两部分的利润额。该数字表明中国民航业平稳度过了全球金融危机。 分析人士称，国内市场的需求强劲和政府的政策支持是该行业赢利的关键。 6．世界最长的天然气管道 连接中国和中亚的一条新“丝绸之路”于去年12月14日正式开通。这条“丝绸之路”其实是一条长达1833公里的天然气管道，它始于土库曼斯坦，途经乌兹别克斯坦和哈萨克斯坦，一直延伸到中国的新疆维吾尔自治区，是迄今为止世界上建造的最长的天然气管道。 胡锦涛主席和中亚三国首脑在土库曼斯坦共同开启了这条通道。胡主席说，这条连接中国和中亚的天然气管道是四国团结互利关系的一个典范。 7．世界最大黄金消费国 2009年，中国取代印度成为世界最大的黄金消费国。黄金矿业服务有限公司预测称，中国的黄金需求量达432吨，印度为422吨。据世界黄金协会数据，2009年前九个月，印度的黄金需求量下跌50%之多，而中国在这一期间的黄金需求增加了8%。 8．核发电能力居世界之首 国家发展与改革委员会2009年12月26日发布报告称，目前中国共有24个在建核电站，计划发电能力将达254亿瓦特，在建核电产能居世界之首。前不久，广东台山核电站开工，竣工后有望成为世界规模最大的核电站。一期工程共投资502亿元(73.5亿美元)，单位发电量可达175万千瓦。据中国核电站中长期发展规划，中国的核电装机容量有望于2020年达到4000万千瓦时，年发电量将达2600亿至2800亿千瓦时之间，占全国发电总量的4%至6%。目前中国共有11个正在运转的核反应堆，核电装机容量达90.8亿千瓦特。 9．房地产平均价格居世界之首 玫瑰石顾问公司的董事谢国忠说，目前中国的房价收入比居世界首位。据去年前三季度的统计数据，北京居民人均年收入为26720元(3913.18美元)。如果一对夫妇想贷款买一套100平方米、总价200万元的二手房，那么他们需要不吃不喝存钱49年。其他一线城市的情况也差不多。今年，中国政府实行宽松的货币政策使信贷增长1.27万亿美元，创历史纪录。流动性过剩给中国的股票和房地产市场带来了严重泡沫，影响经济发展。中国的房地产市场预计应不会出现下降趋势，除非美联储加息，而这将会导致美元升值和明显的通货膨胀预期。 10．全球最大的风轮机市场 据《人民日报》报道，2009年，中国取代美国成为世界最大的风轮机市场。2009年上半年，中国新增风轮机共发电450万千瓦，超过美国的400万千瓦。中国2009年的新安装风轮机数量尚未公布，但预计有望取代美国，成为全球最大风轮机市场。中国政府的经济刺激政策被认为是风轮机巨大市场需求的主要推动力。这一巨大需求吸引了大量制造商和巨额投资。
问答题上海世会成功举行，成为迄今为止规模最大、展馆最多的一次盛会。请你针对此举进行评论。
问答题When the public demands "law and order" and when newspapers editorials talk about the "rising tide of crime," they have in mind mostly street crime committed by the poor. Even the massive report of the President's Crime Commission, the Challenge of Crime in a Free Society, devoted only two pages to the entire subject of white-collar offenders and business crimes. The deep concern with street crimes is understandable. Unlike a swindler, who merely takes the victim's money, an armed mugger threatens physical injury and even death. (1) Yet the fact remains that a great deal of crime in American society—perhaps most crime, and certainly the most costly crime—is committed by respectable middle-class and upper-class citizens. The term "white-collar crime" was first used by Edwin Sutherland: in an address to the American Sociological Association in 1939.(2) "White-collar crime," he declared, "may be defined approximately as a crime committed by a person of respectability and high status in the course of his occupation." Sutherland documented the existence of this form of crime with a study of the careers of 70 large, reputable corporations, which together had committed 980 violations of the criminal law or an average of 14 convictions apiece. Behind the offenses of false advertising, unfair labor practices, restraint of trade, price-fixing agreements, stock manipulation, copyright infringement, and outright swindles, were perfectly respectable middle-class executives. (3) Sociologists now use the term "white-collar crime" to refer not only to crimes committed in the course of business activities for corporate benefit but also to crimes, such as embezzlement, typically committed by persons of high status for personal benefits.
As Sutherland pointed out, the full extent of white-collar crime is difficult to assess. Many corporate malpractices go undetected, and many wealthy people are able to commit crimes like expense-account fraud for years without being found out. (4) More important, white-collar crimes are usually regarded as somehow less serious than the crimes of the lower class, and they attract less attention from police and prosecutors. Even the victims may be unwilling to prosecute because of the offender's "standing in the community" and would rather out of court. A company that finds its safe has been burgled in the night will immediately summon the police, but it might not do so if it finds that one of its executives has embezzled some of its funds. (5) To avoid unwelcome publicity, the company officials may simply allow the offender to resign after making an arrangement to repay the missing money.

问答题We will adhere to the strategy of expanding domestic consumption and focus on increasing consumption demand and strengthening the role of consumption in fueling economic development. First, we will strive to raise urban and rural incomes. We need to adjust the distribution of incomes, standardize the way income is distributed, and increase the income of people in the lower and middle income brackets. To increase rural incomes, we will continue to pursue the policy of giving more, taking less and loosening control. In particular, we need to adopt more measures to give more benefits to farmers. All local governments should make necessary adjustments to the minimum salary system and implement it strictly, and introduce a minimum hourly wage system. We need to gradually solve the problem of low wages for rural migrant workers in cities. We must establish laws and mechanisms for ensuring that wages are paid on time. We will conscientiously implement the revised Individual Income Tax Law and lower the tax burden on low—and middle—income people. This year, the government will appropriately raise basic pension benefits for retired enterprise employees, subsidies for entitled groups and subsistence allowances for urban residents.
问答题Some people say that the best preparation for life is learning to be cooperative. Others take the opposite view and say that learning to be competitive is the best preparation. Write a composition of about 150 words to tell which one you agree and explain why.
问答题It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides all inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.
