A Part Ⅰ{{/B}}
1. Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey with 8. 8 million inhabitants
(1996 estimate, within municipal borders), is situated on both sides of the
Bosporus, making it a city of two continents, Europe and Asia. It is the capital
of Istanbul province with 10 million inhabitants (2004 estimate ).
2. The name "Istanbul" comes from the Greek phrase "eis ten polin"
used by Constantinople's inhabitants, and which meant "in the city". The Arabs
adopted it and used it as a name for the city, Istinbolin. There are 3 major
parts of Istanbul. Larger Istanbul is 45 km wide and 35 long from south to
north. The city continues all along the strait of Bosporus, which connects-the
Black Sea to Sea of Marmara and the Mediterranean further south.
3. The original Constantinople was surrounded by seven hills, just like
Rome. 6 crests lies along the Golden Horn, while the 7th lies alone about a km
south. The hills have plat summits, and steep slopes. 4. This,
the original part of the city, now Corresponds to Stamboul, which is the main
focus of tourism, with the many sights from the city's long history. Beyoglu is
the modem part of today's Istanbul, housing many theatres, government offices
and businesses. The waters from the Black Sea thrust south through the Bosporus.
Underneath there is strong undercurrent coming from the Mediterranean Sea. The
currents change 7 times through the strait, often making it difficult to pass
for smaller vessels. Istanbul is connected to Europe and the rest of Turkey with
highways and railroads.{{B}}
B
Part Ⅱ{{/B}} 5. The bridges crossing the Bosporus are among
the longest highway suspension bridges in the world. Istanbul's airport is
called Yesilk International Airport, and located 27 west of the city. The
largest and culturally and historically most important part lies in Europe,
while the richest part lies in Asia. 6. About 35% of Turkey's
manufacturing plants are located to the area around Istanbul. The city is the
chief seaport as well as the commercial and financial centre of Turkey. A large
scale of industries are found here: automobile and truck assembly, shipbuilding
and ship repairing; cement production, cigarettes; food products, fruit, olive
oil, silk; glass, cotton, leather, pottery and more. Istanbul is also an
important centre for banking and insurance. Another important source of income
for the city is tourism. 7. Constantinople was for centuries one
of the most important cities in the world. With the decline of Rome,
Constantinople took over as the leading city. It allowed for a fusion of several
cultures, in customs, art and architecture. The coin of Constantinople, solidus,
was the dominating monetary standard of its time.{{B}}
C Part Ⅲ{{/B}} 8. Istanbul has a wide
range of sights of great historical and cultural interest. There are many
churches preserved in the city, many have been converted into mosques.
9. The Hagia Sophia was originally a church, but was converted into a
mosque in 1453, and in 1932 into a museum. It is now known as Aya Sophia, and
lies near the Sea of Marmara in the Stamboul quarters. The church was erected in
the 6th century by the architects Arthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus.
The dome, 33 metre wide, was among the most ambitious building projects of
pre-Medieval times. The dome was completed within a period of 5 years. It would
take 10 centuries before any architects dared to challenge its size, but then
without full success. 10. But it would take only 20 years after
its completion before serious weaknesses with the construction became evident.
An earthquake made central parts of the dome collapse, and a nephew of Isidore
of Miletus, called Isidorus the Younger, made changes. Among the changes were to
close several of the windows, resulting in the dim half-light that characterizes
the building even today.{{B}}
D
Part IV{{/B}} 11. While the conversion of the church to a
mosque in the 15th century was hard enough, it was Crusaders in 1203, who made
themselves guilty of the worst case of desecration Hagia Sophia ever saw. They
tore up the altar, all valuables were taken away and a prostitute was placed on
the patriarch's chair, while the hymns and processions of the eastern church
were ridiculed. 12. The palace, situated on the tip of old
Constantinople, was the political centre of the Ottoman Empire for 4 centuries.
Large parts of the palace were devoted to offices and state institutions as well
as a palace school. Only about half was the residence of the sultan and his
harem. The harem women counted as many as 809 during the reign of Sultan Abdaziz
in the late 19th century. 13. The palace was built between 1459
and 1465, but was in the beginning not the residence of the sultan. He stayed in
his palace where the Istanbul University now is located, together with his
harem. Later on all this moved into the Topkapi, but in the middle of the 19th
century, a new palace was constructed a few kilometres further up the
Bosporus.·there is a palace situated on the tip of old Constantinople?

The final act of a controversy over GM crops that sets
America against Europe unfolds today in Geneva. The World Trade Organisation
will hear the closing arguments in a case where the public authority of both the
European commission and the WTO is at stake.66. ______
Throughout the European Union there has been extensive concern about GM
crops. Among the public's fears is the potential for long-term harm to the
environment—for example through the increased use of herbicides and the gene
flow to wild species—and to human health, should new allergens appear. In a
wider context of uncertainties about the future of agriculture and of a
pervasive lack of confidence in official approaches to the handling of
technological risk, consumer rejection of GM has been widespread.67.
______ The EU's initial submissions to the WTO dispute panel
argued that its approach was necessarily "prudent and precautionary". It
emphasised that the US, Canada and Argentina were challenging the right of
countries to establish levels of protection from the risks of GM appropriate to
their circumstances—and that the risks and uncertainties were complex and
serious. The outcome of the case would be of enormous significance
worldwide.68. ______ Significantly, the commission has also
shifted its defence in the WTO case in a way that suggests a direct link with
this new tactic on GM approvals. The commission is unwilling to publish its
recent submissions to the dispute panel (despite requests from Friends of the
Earth under freedom of information rules), but it is clear from the US's
response, which has been made public, that the commission now wants the dispute
to be ruled "moot" because GM approvals have started. In other words, it has
caved in to US pressure and is rearranging the pieces.69. ______
The GM dispute has been unfolding at a time when the future of the EU is a
fraught political question in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. Here, referendums
on the currency and EU constitution are looming. A key Euro-sceptic weapon is to
whip up fear of a remote unaccountable bureaucracy. When the commission acts, as
in this case, in a fashion so strongly at odds with the EU's citizens and their
political representatives, the result can only be further cynicism and
hostility.70. ______ It is not only Europe's institutions
that are being tested by the GM dispute. The already tattered credibility of the
WTO itself is also at stake. On both sides of the Atlantic, the
US challenge to Europe's initial stance has attracted exceptional interest from
civil society groups—to the point where several international coalitions have
submitted amicus curiae briefs directly to the panel. All these point to the
need for the WTO to rely on more enlightened approaches to risk assessment,
respecting the different cultural and environmental circumstances of individual
countries.A. The commission is playing a dangerous game. Member states and
their populations are divided even on whether the two varieties of GM maize
recently approved satisfy the EU's own regulatory criteria. However, the
commission appears to have decided that satisfying the US is more important than
respecting the continuing concern among the people and governments of member
states. It is a course of action that could have reverberations for the European
project as a whole.B. Insistence on a one-size-fits-all approach tailored to
US norms—to which Europe now risks deferring—is undermining the WTO's authority.
If successive crises of the GM kind are to be avoided, the WTO needs to
change—and fast.C. In response to these worries, the EU revised its
regulatory framework to include wider issues such as traceability, labelling and
impacts on farmland wildlife. This process is still under way, with countries
developing national plans on how, if GM crops are grown, to limit contamination
of non-GM crops, and how to ascribe liability should harm result.D. In May
2003 the US, Argentina and Canada, urged on by their industry lobbies,
complained to the WTO about Europe's moratorium on GM approvals, imposed in
October 1998. As the biggest producers of GM crops, they felt the European
position was damaging their trade interests and argued that it could not be
scientifically justified.E. Last summer, however, while arguments were still
being put, the European commission awarded the first marketing approvals since
October 1998. The awards—for importing two varieties of GM maize, for food and
feed—ended the de facto Europe-wide moratorium, but the commission had to use
provisions designed for when the council of ministers is unable to reach
agreement. In effect, the bureaucracy stepped in and forced through a particular
outcome, despite continuing political disagreement across the EU. This now looks
set to become a growing pattern.F. The new commission, which came into being
last November, has a chance to reconsider the matter anew. Beating in mind the
broader implications of the case for its own future standing, it should look
again at the GM approvals granted by its predecessor.

The thing that has always stayed with me is an axiom my dad gave me, which was, adversity breeds character. How you deal with the tough times really defines your character and who you are. I've had a lot of disruptions in my life. My mom passed away young; my parents were divorced. I think I have a sense of perspective. Other people's temper or ego don't rock my boat. I also think being a parent has been a great learning experience. I'm not as ego-driven as I was when I was younger. I'm glad I've outgrown some of the more immature behaviors that you have when you're in your teens and 20s and even 30s. I know what's important to me, and it enables me to be understanding when somebody else is having an ego moment. B Maria Elena Lagomasino Former chairman and CEO, JP Morgan Private Bank I left my job at Morgan in March and I really enjoy figuring out how I reinvent myself. I try to see everything as an opportunity to grow. When I started in the bank, my job was 100 percent dealing with clients. There weren't that many women doing what I was doing, particularly in the South American market. You want people to remember you. The fact 1 wasn't some young guy in a pinstripe suit actually helped. I was blessed with unbelievable support from my clients. They built successful companies and had put heart and soul into work. What I learned from them was to love what I did, because I was going to have to do it around the clock. Nobody's perfect. But you can create a perfect team if you celebrate what people do well and complement them with people who have different talents. If you celebrate what people do well, it's like giving them oxygen, and they perform way beyond your expectations. C Stephanie Bell-Rose President, The Goldman Sachs Foundation The best advice I've ever gotten is to set goals and believe I can achieve them. That came from my parents when I was fairly young. It's applicable to everything I've tried to do, from school days to setting the course of my career. Believe in yourself, and then move toward your goal. My mother became a widow at the age of 34 with four children to raise. She didn't finish college but all of us attended Ivy League schools. She did this when there was a lot of turbulence in our society. We lived in an African-American, rather depressed community. It didn't stop her. Her concept of what her children could do went well beyond what she saw everyday, and she made it clear to us that we were headed for bigger things. I have never met a woman who's achieved more. Now I'm the mother of three sons and I think women who juggle high-powered careers and family recognize that it does take hard work and determination and organization and prioritization. All of those are good things. It also requires a lot of family support because there are times when you've got a one-body problem. You can only be in one place at one time. But I think women are succeeding. You can have it all. It helps to recognize that you may not have it all at the same time as everybody else, that you may want to pace yourself a bit more than people who do not have family commitments. You have to be flexible. D Sharon Allen Chairman of the board, Deloitte & Touche USA Take responsibility for your own career. Don't assume that others are aware of the good work you're doing. When I was a young accountant, I was unhappy about not getting a promotion. I went to my supervisor and told him all of these things that I thought I should be given credit for and he said, "Well, gee, I didn't know that you had done all of these things." It was a real wakeup call. You don't have to be a bragger, but I think it's very important that we make people aware of our accomplishments. I think sometimes women tend to be less willing to do that. Everyone has to develop a style that they are comfortable with. I think it's very possible to be nice and generous and courteous and really helpful to the people around you while still being firm when necessary. When I have a strong opinion about something, I assert it. There are days when I might be considered to be over the top on that. But I do think you can establish a style and be clear about your expectations without being overtly aggressive. I'm the fourth of four girls. My sisters were very accomplished and I had to do everything they did and more. I wanted to be a leader. One of my mentors used to say that if you wait for someone to ask you to be a leader, you'll never be one. Growing up on a farm in Idaho taught me a lot of things. My family instilled a work ethic. It was a very open environment and taught me to accept people on their own terms. I grew up without a lot of biases. It's good to remember your roots and stay close to those who have been influential in your life.

Indonesia The period
under review (1994~1998) has been one of great contrast for Indonesian. After
three decades of continuous growth fostered by political, social and
macro-economic stability, the Asian economic crisis of 1997 has sown the seeds
of major change in Indonesia's economy and political system. The crisis and the
subsequent fall in GDP, the largest among ASEAN countries, revealed underlying
weaknesses in Indonesia's economic and financial structures, which prompted
calls for reform. Trade and foreign direct investment have been
at the heart of Indonesia's economic policy. In the face of the recent economic
crisis, the Government undertook to accelerate the pace of reforms and to remove
many remaining restrictions on domestic and international trade. From 1994 to
1996, real GDP grew on average by 8% annually. Although economic activity
started to decelerate in the second half of 1996, the financial crisis of 1997
trans- formed a soft landing of the Indonesian economic into a serious
recession. Indonesia's international trade has also been
severely affected by the recession in the country and elsewhere in Asia.
Imports, which increased by nearly 27% in 1995, declined by 3% in U. S. dollar
value in 1997 before failing by 30% in the first quarter of 1998. Exports a
major element that could have stimulated activity in current circumstances, have
fallen (in value terms) as a result of the slump in demand elsewhere in
Asia. The causes of the financial and currency turmoil are
multiple and complex. External factors, such as the withdrawal of international
investors from Asia in the wake of the Thai, Philippines and Korean Crisis, were
compounded by internal developments, particularly growing uncertainty about
economic, social and political stability in Indonesia.
Hong Kong The period
under review (1994~1995) was marked by two main events. The first was Hong
Kong's reversion to the People's Republic of China, on 1 July 1997, and its
designation as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a high degree of
autonomy with regard to economic (and most other) policies under the "one
country, two systems" framework established in accordance with the Basic
Law. Hong Kong is one of, if not the most liberal among WTO members.
There is no indication that Hong Kong's traditional openness to trade and
foreign investment has been affected by reunification, and as such, the present
economic regime may be broadly characterized as "business as usual".
The second main event during the review period was the outbreak of the
economic crisis in Thailand in July 1997 and its spread to other countries in
and beyond South East Asia. The crisis, and the associated drop in demand
throughout the region, has seriously impaired Hong Kong's economic performance
since the third quarter of 1997, causing a dramatic slowdown in economic
activity. Nor, it would appear, has the Government attempted to
influence the long-run structural evolution of Hong Kong's economy during the
period under review. One of the main features of this evolution has been
the increasingly closer links with the fast-developing adjacent region of South
China. In response to domestic calls for the Government to take
action in order to alleviate, if not reverse, the recent slow-down in economic
growth and the consequent rise in unemployment, in June 1998 the Government
introduced a package of relief measures. Apart from the implementation of a few
"emergency" measures, the authorities have largely refrained from interfering
with the normal functioning of the free-market system.
Canada Canada has
continued to pursue an outward-oriented strategy that, combined with prudent
micro-economic policies, has been integral to a recent strong growth
performance. Over the last two years, Canada has participated in regional and
multilateral initiatives that have further liberalized its generally open
economy. It has also demonstrated its commitment to a strong multilateral
trading system through an active and constructive participation in all aspects
of work in the WTO. Domestic initiatives to lower interprovincial trade
barriers, and move forward internal deregulation, enhance transparency, and
rationalize the import regime have helped Canadian producers to adapt to the
challenges, and to take advantage of the opportunities resulting from greater
market access both at home and abroad. Economic activity has reflected strong
private consumption and investment. Developments in the past
two years have confirmed trade as a major determinant of Canada's economic
performance. Exports continued to benefit from the United States' cyclical lead,
supported by efficiency gains in the Canadian economy. The U. S. share in
Canadian trade has risen further, to some 83% of merchandise exports and 67% of
imports. Canada's aggregate output thus remains exposed to slower growth in the
United States. The financial crisis in Asia has had so far a
limited impact on Canada's overall economic growth, as only 8% of Canadian
exports are destined for that region. Nevertheless, the crisis has been felt
distinctively in western Canada and, if protracted, could have significant
indirect effects on the economy as a whole.

填空题Between 1852, when
1
was first established that Mount Everest was the highest mountain on earth, and 1953, when Edmund Hillary, and Tenzing Norgay finally reached the peak"s summit, it was every mountaineer"s dream to become the first person standing on the world"s
2
point. And George Mallory was one of the most tenacious early contenders.
Mallory was introduced
3
rock climbing while studying at Winchester College.
4
completed his studies, he settled into a career
5
a teacher at Charterhouse School, and continued to pursue his passion
6
climbing in his spar time.
Mallory"s
7
trip to Everest was a reconnaissance mission in 1921
8
aimed to produce the first accurate maps of the region. Two
9
visits to the mountain followed. Then, on 8 June 1924,
10
his third attempt to reach the summit, Mallory and his partner, Andrew Irvine, disappeared.
Several expeditions subsequently attempted to find the pair, and Mallory"s
11
was finally discovered in May, 1999, at 8,169 metres, 600 metres
12
the summit,
13
with various items of equipment, including handwritten letters to his wife, a pocket knife, an oxygen bottle and his goggles,
14
were later donated to the Royal Geographical Society
15
Mallory"s family.
There is still considerable debate as to
16
Mallory reached Everest"s summit. The
17
that his goggles were found in his pocket has led some to suggest that he was on his way down the mountain
18
he fell. Had he been ascending in daylight he would have been wearing the goggles to
19
snow-blindness, and given what is known of the pair"s climbing schedule, if it were
20
when they fell, they must have been on their way back down.
