单选题Overshadowed by rows over Nigeria and Lockerbie, the Commonwealth"s attempts to refocus on trade and investment—the main theme of the Edinburgh heads of government meeting—attracted little attention and even less praise. Hopes were high that the summit"s economic statement would be of similar weight to the Harare Declaration, issued in 1991 to map out a political agenda for the ex-colonial club after the end of its preoccupation with the struggle against separateness. But the publication of the statement did little to divert attention from rows over the trial of two Lockerbie bomb suspects and over the decision by the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMag) not to impose new sanctions against Nigeria. CMag chose to ignore calls for Nigeria"s expulsion and the imposition of an oil embargo. They concluded that the situation would be reassessed if General Sani Abacha failed to honor his promise to hold fully democratic elections next October. The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was delighted with the six-page document, entitled Promoting Shared Prosperity. "It signals the end of ideology and reflects basic principles of economic and social justice," Downing Street said. "It would have been unthinkable only a short time ago." But the declaration produced few surprises and many boring repetitions of statements based on affirmation of free market principles in the global economy. It was never going to be easy to bridge gaps between the Commonwealth"s 54 members, which include both wealthy countries, such as Britain, and some of the world"s poorest, such as Bangladesh. So Edinburgh stayed on safe ground, establishing four key principles: 1) The world economy should be geared towards promoting universal growth and prosperity for all; 2) There must be effective participation by all countries in economic decision-making; 3) The removal of obstacles that prevent developing countries from playing a full part in shaping the global economy; 4) International regimes affecting economic relations among nations should provide benefits for all. Caribbean members insisted on a reference to their troubles over banana exports threatened by a new World Trade Organization ruling, and won recognition of their "legitimate interests" and the need for help to diversify their economies. Practical measures included a decision to establish a Commonwealth Trade and Investment Access Facility to help developing countries take advantage of globalization. One additional source of revenue was opened up with the creation of a new fund for development in South Asian member countries. The Worldwide Fund for Nature said the Commonwealth had not matched its rhetoric about the dangers of globalisation by failing to promise higher-quality investment, protection for the environment and labour rights.

单选题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} While fashion is thought of usually in relation to clothing, it is important to realize that it covers a much wider domain. It is to be found in manners, the arts, literature, and philosophy, and may even reach into certain areas of science. In fact, it may operate in any field of group life, apart from the technological and utilitarian area and the area of the sacred. Its operation requires a class society, for in its essential character it does not occur either in a homogeneous society like a primitive group, or in a caste society. Fashion behaves as a movement, and on this basis it is different from custom which, by comparison, is static. This is due to the fact that fashion is based fundamentally on differentiation and emulation. In a class society, the upper classes or so-called social elite are not able to differentiate themselves by fixed symbols or badges. Hence the more external features of their life and behavior are likely to be imitated by classes immediately below them, who, in turn, are imitated by groups immediately below them in the serial structure. This process gives to fashion a vertical descent. However, the elite class finds that it is no longer distinguishable, by reason of the imitation made by others, and hence is led to adopt new differentiating criteria, only to displace these as they in turn are imitated. It is primarily this feature that makes fashion into a movement and which has led one writer to remark that a fashion, once launched, moves to its doom. As a movement, fashion shows little resemblance to any of the other movements which we have considered. While it occurs spontaneously and moves along in a characteristic cycle, it involves little in the way of crowd behavior and it is not dependent upon the discussion process and the resulting public opinion. It does not depend upon the mechanisms of which we have spoken. The participants are not recruited through agitation. No morale is built up among them. Nor does the fashion movement have, or require, an ideology. Further, since it does not have a leadership imparting conscious direction to the movement, it does not build up a set of tactics. People take part in the fashion movement voluntarily and in response to the interesting and powerful kind of control which fashion imposes on them.

单选题According to the passage, Ted Hughes' translation of Ovid's works is ______.

单选题The healing power of maggots is not new. Human beings have discovered it several times. The Maya are said to have used maggots for therapeutic purposes a thousand years ago. As early as the sixteenth century, European doctors noticed that soldiers with maggot-infested wounds healed well. More recently, doctors have realized that maggots can be cheaper and more effective than drugs in some respects, and these squirming larvae have, at times, enjoyed a quiet medical renaissance. The problem may have more to do with the weak stomachs of those using them than with good science. The modern heyday of maggot therapy began during World War Ⅰ, when an American doctor named William Bayer was shocked to notice that two soldiers who had lain on a battlefield for a week while their abdominal would became infested with thousands of maggots, had recovered better than wounded men treated in the military hospital. After the war, Bayer proved to the medical establishment that maggots could cure some of the toughest infections. In the 1930s hundreds of hospitals used maggot therapy. Maggot therapy requires the right kind of larvae. Only the maggots of blowflies (a family that includes common bluebottles and green bottles) will do the job; they devour dead tissue, whether in an open wound or in a corpse. Some other maggots, on the other hand, such as those of the screwworm eat live tissue. They must be avoided. When blowfly eggs hatch in a patient's wound, the maggots eat the dead flesh where gangrene-causing bacteria thrive. They also excrete compounds that are lethal to bacteria they don't happen to swallow. Meanwhile, they ignore live flesh, and in fact, give it a gentle growth-stimulating massage simply by crawling over it. When they metamorphose into flies, they leave without a trace—although in the process, they might upset the hospital staff as they squirm around in a live patient. When sulfa drugs, the first antibiotics, emerged around the time of World War Ⅱ, maggot therapy quickly faded into obscurity.
