问答题金秋十月是收获的季节。我谨预祝本次对话圆满成功，取得丰硕成果，为中美关系发展添上浓墨重彩的一笔。

问答题{{B}} Passage 1 {{/B}} Changes in educational approaches, beliefs and practices come faster today than most teachers, parents and children can begin to assimilate. Speedy results are seen as politically necessary. When new approaches are not successful immediately, they are abandoned in favor of even newer ones. // In repeated and accelerated cycles of change it is the children who suffer. Hurried through the school day and through the grade levels, they are left with little time to reflect on what they are learning or where their lives are beaded. Our schools tend to be fact factories, cramming more into every minute of every hour of every day. There always seems to be more curriculum to cover and more tests to take—but never any time added to the day. Children and teachers are left gasping for air. // We must stop hurrying children and give them adequate time for learning. We need more clarity, more planning and less impulsive implementation of "the latest best thing." There is an urgent need in our schools for increased accountability and more focused attention on basic skills. But that very urgency must not lead us to rush. The pace of change must be reasonable and related to the right pace for children's learning. // True learning requires time: time to wonder, time to share and time to pay attention to what is most important. To hurry through classes and a predetermined timetable of achievements is contrary to the nature of children and will do irreparable damage to their minds and souls. School comes from the Greek word scholé which translates literally as "leisure." Consider how far we've moved from our educational roots! //

问答题Passage 1下面你将听到一段关于中国法制建设的讲话。 当今是法行天下的时代。国运之兴盛，政治之昌明，社会之稳定，经济之发展，民族之团结，文化之繁荣，人民之安居乐业，都离不开法律之维系和法律之保障。中国也不例外。 一个国家采取什么样的治国方略，关系着国家的前途和命运。 20世纪末，拥有十二亿人口的中国向全世界宣示了它的治国方略——依法治国，并在此道路上迈出了坚实的步伐：一个适应社会主义市场经济的法律体系正在发育成熟；一个转变政府职能、严格依法行政的变革正在有序进行；一场围绕公正与效率的司法体制改革正在不断深化；一项把法律交给亿万人民的宏大社会工程正在深入持久地进行。 诸位知道，实现经济发展，宪法是最重要最根本的法律保障。新中国成立初期，对农业、手工业和资本主义工商业完成社会主义改造后，公有制成了主要所有制模式，私有经济没有合法的地位；计划经济成了主要的经济体制模式，企业自身没有经营的自主权；按劳分配成了主要的分配模式，公民没有按劳分配收入外的其他收入。在这种经济制度下，中国的经济发展非常缓慢。 1978年，中国开始实行改革开放。1988年，中国对现行宪法进行第一次修正，确认了私有经济的合法地位；1993年，中国对现行宪法又进行了修正，明确国家实行社会主义市场经济。宪法的变革，促进了公有经济和私有经济的共同发展，促进了国家综合国力的增强和人民生活的改善，给中国的政治、经济、社会生活带来了深刻变革。

问答题Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Qin Gang's Regular Press Conference on January 8, 2009 On January 8, 2009, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Qin Gang held a regular press conference and answered questions on China-US relations, conflicts between Palestine and Israel, and etc. Qin Gang: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I have an announcement to start with. At the invitation of the Philippine Government, 100 Chinese high school students from the quake-affected area of Wenchuan, Sichuan Province will visit the country from January 11 to 17. China and the Philippines enjoy traditional friendly relationship. Bilateral relations have developed steadily since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1975. The invitation mentioned above fully demonstrates the friendship of the Philippine Government and people to the Chinese people. We express our appreciation and gratitude. This visit will definitely enhance the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples, especially that among young people, enrich the two countries' friendly cooperation and promote in-depth development of bilateral relations. Now the floor is open. Q: According to That officials, China will not be able to attend East Asia leaders' meetings if they were to be held from February 27 to March 1. Does China have any other dates in favor? The second question is, will Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi or other officials visit Africa early this year as they did last year? If so, could you tell us the schedule? The last question is, which Chinese officials will attend US President Obama's inauguration ceremony on January 20? A: China always places great importance on its friendly cooperation with ASEAN countries and the rest in the Asia-Pacific region. As for the East Asia leaders' meetings to be held in Thailand, China is keeping communication and coordination with Thailand in order to fix a timeframe convenient to both sides. It's a good tradition that Chinese Foreign Minister starts his foreign trip with Africa at the beginning of every year. There's no exception this year. FM Yang Jiechi will visit several African countries within this month. Relevant arrangement is still under consultation. Information will be released shortly. As for which Chinese officials will attend President Obama's inauguration ceremony, I have no confirmed information at the moment. Q: Stephen Hadley, Assistant to the US President for National Security Affairs said yesterday that American intelligence officials have growing concerns on North Korea's secret uranium enrichment. Does China know anything about this? A: China also hopes to see the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and enduring peace, stability and harmony in Northeast Asia. It is based on this purpose that China works with relevant parties to promote the Six- Party Talks. China shares the same goal with other parties concerned on the denuclearization of the Peninsula and is willing to strengthen communication and cooperation with other parties. The six parties need to keep in mind the ultimate goal, overcome current difficulties, earnestly fulfill their respective commitments, complete the second- phase task and move on to the next stage. Q: About the remarks by Mr. Liu Guijin yesterday. The Chinese Government's special representative on the Darfur issue said that China hoped the ICC to defer the prosecution against Sudanese President Bashir. Would you explain? Will China consider a proposal on this at the UN Security Council? A: Ambassador Liu Guijin is now visiting Sudan after his Russian trip. Ethiopia will be his next stop. The purpose is to communicate and exchange views with relevant parties on the Darfur issue, especially the ICC prosecution against President Bashir. I'll have to double-check Ambassador Liu's remarks you quoted just now. I'd like to emphasize, realization of judicial justice in Darfur entails enduring peace and stability in the region. The priority is to properly resolve the Darfur issue. We uphold that the actions taken by the ICC should be beneficial to the stability in Sudan and proper settlement of the Darfur issue. This is the basis on which we will decide our further position and measures. Q: Mr. Negroponte said that the China-US relationship has never been better. Does China endorse his comment? Also, as Mr. Obama is soon to swear in as the next President of the US, what do you think will be the biggest pending issue for the bilateral relations? And how do you expect the Obama Administration to solve the issue? A: The past three decades have witnessed remarkable improvement in the China-US relations. Thirty years ago, the two countries had no contact. They were even antagonistic to each other. Today, the two countries share broad common interests, with cooperation of mutual benefit reaching an unprecedentedly high level. Close contact has been maintained between state leaders and at other levels, in 1972, bilateral trade volume was only a little more than two billion US dollars. In 2007, the figure exceeded 300 billion US dollars, which is over 120 times that of 30 years ago, In 1972, there were few people-to-people exchanges, today, there are annually about two million mutual visits, that is, over 5000 visits per day. Yesterday, Mr. Negroponte cited statistics from the US Embassy in China, saying that last year alone, the US Embassy in China issued over 500,000 visas to Chinese citizens leaving for the US. The two countries have clear strategic positioning for bilateral ties. China and the US are not only stakeholders, but more importantly, constructive partners. The two countries have close cooperation in broad range of areas, covering not only bilateral issues but also international and regional issues. These facts and figures should lead you to the right conclusion. The remarkable achievements made in the past three decades deserve to be cherished, therefore precious experience could be learned. As two countries of major impact in the world, China and the US share broad and major common interests, thus must strengthen dialogue, communication and cooperation. The two countries differ in national conditions, political systems and cultural values, and do not always see eye to eye on some issues. But these differences are less important in comparison with the shared interests and their responsibility of safeguarding world peace, stability and development. The smooth development of China-US relations entails mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, mutual accommodation of each other's major interest and concern and proper settlement of sensitive issues and relevant disputes. I believe, so long as we observe these principles from strategic and long-term perspective, the China-US relations will maintain healthy and stable development. This is not only in the fundamental interest of two countries and two peoples, but also conducive to world peace, stability and development. In their recent phone conversation, President Hu Jintao and President-elect Obama also expressed this view. Q: Does China have any new position on the Palestine-Israel conflict? Will China consider sending relevant officials to the region or providing more humanitarian assistance? A: We are very concerned about the escalation of conflict between Palestine and Israel and the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza. The Chinese public, following the situation from media, are also very worried and anxious. It's imperative to immediately cease fire, stop military actions and armed conflicts so as to relieve the humanitarian situation and tension in Gaza and allow in international assistance, including essential supplies and rescue workers. This is the only way to create conditions for political solution through dialogue. The international community should step up meditative efforts, meanwhile, relevant parties should listen to the international aspiration and appeal, take concrete actions to cease fire immediately. The Chinese Government is ready to work with the international community and continue to make positive efforts. China welcomes the Egyptian truce proposal that deserves international attention. We hope the international effort could put an end to the conflict, resume peaceful talks and properly settle the dispute between Palestine and Israel, so that the peace process in the Middle East could continue to move ahead. Q: The ninth China-Japan Strategic Dialogue is to be held in Japan tomorrow. What topics will be discussed? A: The ninth China-Japan Strategic Dialogue will be held in Japan. We hope through this dialogue, the two countries could have full and in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations as well as international and regional issues of common interest, enhance mutual understanding and political mutual trust, and promote the bilateral relations. It is in this spirit that China will attend the meeting, and work with Japan to achieve positive results. If there are no more questions, thanks for coming. See you!

问答题Passage 1 It is a great honor for me to speak at one of China's great academic institutions -- one that is helping to revive and maintain your country's historic tradition of leading the world in science and technology, and one whose alumni are to be found in positions of leadership throughout the country. Here, as in so many other places in China, no visitor can help feeling the excitement of a great country developing at breakneck speed, and every day opening up new vistas of knowledge and opportunity to its citizens. You can be really proud of your country and what it has achieved in the last 25 years.// As I look out over the young faces in this audience I cannot help envying the international students -- more than a thousand, I am told, from over 50 countries -- who have the privilege of sharing your learning experience here. It reminds me for a moment of my own student days, when my country, Ghana, was newly independent. We felt we were suddenly reaching out to the world, and making new discoveries every day. But then I also remember that times of rapid change can bring pain and confusion, even destruction, as well as progress and excitement.// The more rapid and exciting it is, the more change calls for careful management, and wise, humane leadership. Order and stability have to be preserved, but without choking off the freedom to enquire, and experiment, and express oneself, since -- as you young researchers know better than anyone -- knowledge and science have a vital role in national development. And technical expertise needs to be harnessed to the development and security of society as a whole, so that it not only creates greater wealth for the few, but enables all citizens to feel safer and more prosperous.// The development of such a great country as China cannot happen in isolation. It affects the whole world, and it draws you into new relationships with other parts of the world. Increasingly, your economy depends on exchanges with other countries -- both imports and exports, of both goods and capital. Foreign investment plays an essential role in your growth, while your holdings of foreign currencies -- and your management of your own currency -- are coming to play a vital part in the international monetary system. This means that you have a stake in the development and prosperity of the wider world. And your security, too, depends on international peace and stability.// Your Government shows that it understands this, by the role that it plays in the United Nations, and elsewhere. And, increasingly, Chinese citizens are called on to take risks, and make sacrifices, in the interests of global security. It was impressive to see, in our newspapers the other day, pictures of Chinese policemen in blue helmets preparing to join the United Nations mission in Haiti -- an island buffeted by both human and meteorological storms, which is literally on the far side of the world from here. So I am here, in part, to express the world's gratitude. Clearly, you in China have understood, as your saying goes, that we all "share the same breath". Human misery knows no frontiers, and nor should human solidarity.//

问答题Passage 1 在中关建交25周年前夕，我应布什总统的邀请正式访问贵国。纽约是我访美的第一站，在这里能与各位新老朋友欢聚一堂，我感到很高兴。在此我要特别感谢美国银行家协会的盛情款待，向多年来为推动中美经贸合作做出积极贡献的各位朋友表示敬意!并通过你们向伟大的美国人民致以诚挚问候和良好祝愿!// 近一段时间，中美贸易方面有些分歧和摩擦。各方面对我此次美国之行颇为关注。我首先要告诉诸位，我这次是为了寻求友谊与合作而来，不是来打“贸易战”的。有些分歧问题的产生，实际上是相互不了解。我深信，中关双方通过对话与磋商，可以缩小我们之间的分歧，扩大我们之间的合作。// 大家知道，经贸关系是两国关系的经济基础。互利共赢的中美经贸关系，不仅给两国人民带来了实实在在的经济利益，而且成为中关关系稳定发展的重要基础和强大动力。至于中美经贸合作的迅速发展，对于周边地区经济繁荣乃至世界经济增长所起的促进作用，更是有目共睹。// 中美贸易之所以能迅速发展，根本原因在于两国经济具有极大的互补性。这种互补性，很大程度上来自两国经济资源条件、经济结构以及消费水平存在着很大的差异。这种差异性和互补性，将在今后长期存在，在经济全球化的大背景下显得更加突出。我认为，这就是中关贸易能够持续快速发展的客观基础。//

问答题What Is Missing? Carlos Ghosn, the Brazilian-born car executive, is head of the Japanese car manufacturer, Nissan. He spoke to reporters about Japanese economy. [TONE]∥[TONE] NEWSWEEK: Japan's economy is even worse off now than when you arrived in 1999. Did you expect it to get this bad? [TONE]∥[TONE] GHOSN: Little by little, I've come to think that what's remarkable about Japan is that there is so much potential. I can see it inside and outside Nissan, but so little is delivered. Japan is always extremely strong when there's a mission. The glorious years have always been driven by a strong, clear vision. It would be fair to say that this vision doesn't exist today—or if it exists, it is blurred. Or fake. People talk about problems, with bad loans and things. What is missing is a clear vision that would mobilize all the qualities Japanese people can show in periods of challenge. [TONE]∥[TONE] Why are people saying Japan has a problem? What goals would be realistic? [TONE]∥[TONE] First, Japan did not grow as much as people were expecting. Second, the creation of value and wealth were on very strong up trend until the 1990s. How can Japan resume wealth creation? And how can Japan grow again? Let me give you an example in the automobile market. At its peak, 6 million cars were sold in Japan per year. Today we're barely at 4 million. One objective may be to say: "How can we return to the peak years?" Coming back to the best performance Japan has reached would represent a big jump forward. [TONE]∥[TONE] Why don't more companies put their own houses in order? Nissan is certainly a model. [TONE]∥[TONE] There is a lot of coverage of Nissan. From the beginning we anticipated this. I had a sense that we needed to be extremely transparent because we would be introducing a lot of change, and for change to work people need to know why and how we're making these changes. Because Japan's strengths are (found) particularly at the base. The work force is second to none, and once they are convinced that this is the direction to take, people are willing to go the extra mile for these things to happen. [TONE]∥[TONE] Many Japanese fear radical reform. Is there a middle way? [TONE]∥[TONE] I personally don't believe in middle ways. I'm not telling you this to be provocative; at Nissan we would never have taken the middle road. When I met Nissan's unions in July of 1999. They came to my office and at the end of these informal talks, I asked if there was anything they wanted to tell me as we worked to come up with a plan. They said: "Yes, we have something. Whatever you have to do, do it fast." They just wanted to get out of the tunnel. [TONE]∥[TONE] Is Japan overreacting to the threat from China? [TONE]∥[TONE] Japan is establishing a very solid relationship with China. When you see the transfers of technologies, the investments and collaborations, Japan is finding very smart ways to associate itself with the government. ObvioUsly, there are many countries that would love to take Japan's place. But they will do it if, and only if, Japan allows them to do it. I don't think there is a major outside threat to Japan. The major threat is internal. We're not recognizing the potential of the country and not acting on this potential. [TONE]∥[TONE] With Japan's stock prices at 20-year lows, is now a good time to invest? [TONE]∥[TONE] This is the moment to invest, both for Japanese people and for those outside Japan who are seeking opportunity. It will have to be active investment; you'll have to work on it to make sure it delivers. But it's an opportunity, no doubt about it. [TONE]∥[TONE]

问答题Passage 2 当前，亚欧两地区都处于蓬勃发展的阶段，亚洲是世界上最具经济活力的地区，资源丰富，市场广阔，区域合作方兴未艾。欧盟是世界上最大的发达经济体，资本充裕，科技先进，一体化程度高。两地区政治上共识很多，经济上优势互补，文化上各具特色，为开展更广泛和具有实质性的对话与合作奠定了坚实基础。亚欧会议扩大后，成员国人口达24亿，占世界人口40%，国内生产总值超过全球一半，在国际事务中将发挥更大的作用。// 进入新世纪之后，国际形势正在发生复杂深刻变化。和平与发展仍是当今时代的主题，世界多极化和经济全球化趋势在曲折中发展，科技进步日新月异，产业转移和资本流动继续加快，区域一体化和区域合作不断加深，全球经济呈现好的发展势头。但是，世界还很不安定，地区间发展仍不平衡。国际关系中不稳定、不确定因素有所增加。// 民族、宗教矛盾和边界，领土争端导致的局部冲突时起时伏。恐怖主义，跨国犯罪、传染性疾病蔓延、环境污染等非传统安全因素威胁突出。面对新的机遇和挑战，我们要坚持相互尊重、平等互利、互不干涉内政的原则，全面加强对话合作，在协商一致的基础上循序渐进地推动亚欧会议进程，进一步充实、加强亚欧新型全面伙伴关系，同时坚持开放的方针，为推进世界和平、发展与进步事业而共同努力。//

问答题画家千嶂手中的那支笔表现得轻松自如，山水、花鸟、任务，无所不能，尤其精于“花脸”的表现。 “花脸”，又称为“净”，是戏曲表演中的一个行当。京剧中的净分为正净、副净和武净。人物的忠、奸、善、恶、侠义都可从那张脸上表现出来，它的本身就是一种符号化的立体艺术。把这种立体艺术移栽在纸上，使之变为平面艺术的，在画界也不乏其人。一种是依样画葫芦，在纸上画着真真切切的脸谱，另一种是戏曲人物画，把特定的脸谱和特定的人物结合起来，颇有舞台速写的韵味。 而千嶂笔下的花脸不是这样，他离开了特定的人物、特定的脸谱、特定的剧情，以超越的视野，横扫大笔，洋洋洒洒，把花脸画的更加抽象化，夸大了花脸的象征意义，进入一个试图表现人类心灵的全新境界。在进行这种艺术探索时，画家有着独到的悟性和心得。他跳开了传统戏剧花脸的那种凝固的程式，为古老的花脸艺术架起了通向现代人心理的桥梁，泼写着人世间的喜怒哀乐。这个从平面到立体的过程，形成了时空艺术的瞬间闪现。 醉汉是写不出诗的。太清醒了，也写不出诗的。画画也是这样，总是在似醉非醉的状态中进入佳境。我总说千嶂的花脸有醉的韵味，那是一种朦胧美与流动美的结合。说它是朦胧的，那是墨彩交融而非混沌不清。书法用笔的参入，给画带来了流动的节奏。这是一种刚与柔、动与静、清晰与朦胧相统一的艺术效果。

问答题今天是国际禁毒日。我们高兴地看到，世界各国正携起手来向毒品宣战。16天前，联合国大会结束了为期三天的世界反毒品特别会议，从而吹响了规模空前的全球反毒战的号角。 人类将要迎接一个新的千年，解决毒品问题显得越来越紧迫。尽管许多国家加强了反毒品的力度，可是毒品市场的泛滥状况越来越严重。据估计，全球毒品的贸易额已达到每年4000亿美元之巨。吸毒者约占全世界人口的3%。统计数据表明，每年全世界死于毒品者达10万人之多，另外还有1千万吸毒者丧失工作能力。 毒品问题直接关系到社会稳定与安全，关系到全人类的命运。世界各国都应该充分意识到反毒任务的紧迫性，要采取切实有效的措施扫除毒魔。中国政府始终十分关注毒品问题，并通过法律、政治、行政、经济、文化、教育和其他手段来综合治理吸毒贩毒问题。最近在北京举办的全国反毒展览会已吸引了50万参观者。展览会的目的是集中揭露毒品对社会和家庭造成的危害。 越来越多的人，尤其是年轻人，他们或出于无知，或为了寻求刺激，或受到其他吸毒者的影响，成了毒品的牺牲品。在全国登记在案的吸毒人员中，80%为年轻人。因此，中国的反毒战任重而道远。我们首先要做的是提高人们对毒品危害的认识，给吸毒者以更多的帮助，使他们戒除不良的习惯，实施更严厉的法规打击毒品犯罪行为。 我们希望各国政府在国际反毒合作中担负起应有的责任，将法网撒向毒品市场的每个环节，为我们的后代创建一个无毒的世界。

问答题2009年6月17日，国家主席胡锦涛在俄罗斯首都莫斯科举行的中俄建交60周年庆祝大会上发表重要讲话。讲话全文如下： 共创中俄关系美好未来 ——在中俄建交60周年庆祝大会上的讲话(2009年6月17日，莫斯科)中华人民共和国主席 胡锦涛 尊敬的梅德韦杰夫总统，女士们，先生们，朋友们： 今天，我们相聚在享誉世界的俄罗斯国家大剧院，隆重庆祝中俄两国人民的共同节日——中俄建交60周年。借此机会，我谨代表中罔政府和人民，向在座各位并通过你们向友好的俄罗斯人民，致以诚挚的祝贺和良好的祝愿! 刚才，梅德韦杰夫总统发表了热情洋溢的讲话，对中俄关系发展成果作了慨括和总结，并就两国关系未来发展提出了很好的建议。他的讲话道出了我们的共同心声。 回顾过去60年，中俄关系走过了不平凡的发展历程。这60年，是两国政治关系日益走向成熟的60年。1996年4月，两国领导人在认真总结历史经验教训的基础上，从两国人民根本利益出发，顺应时代潮流，着眼两国关系未来，建立中俄战略协作伙伴关系。经过十几年的发展，中俄战略协作伙伴关系已成为成熟、稳定、健康的国家关系，两国政治互信达到前所未有的高水平。 这60年，是两国务实合作成果日益丰富的60年。中俄积极探索互利合作途径，不断扩大双边经贸合作规模，提高合作质量和水平。近10年来，双边贸易额持续高速增长，去年达到创纪录的568亿美元，相互投资、合作生产加工等方面合作呈现新的良好发展态势，地方合作方兴未艾。 这60年，是两国人民友谊不断加深的60年。中俄两国人民有着历史凝成的战斗情谊和传统友好关系。近年来，中俄人文交流飞速发展，中俄“国家年”获得巨大成功，中俄“语言年”活动已全面展开，两国人民相互了解和友谊不断加深。去年中国四川汶川特大地震发生后，俄罗斯人民全力支援中国人民抗震救灾，梅德韦杰夫总统邀请1500多名中国少年儿童到俄疗养，深深感动了中国人民，谱写了中俄友谊新篇章。 这60年，是两国在国际事务中的合作逐步推进的60年。中俄两国长期致力于维护世界和平稳定。近年来，两国在国际和地区事务中密切沟通和配合，为推动世界多极化和国际关系民主化作出了不懈努力。中俄关系已成为促进大国关系良性互动、维护地区和世界和平稳定的重要因素。 女士们、先生们! 当今世界正处在大变革大调整之中，世界多极化和经济全球化深入发展，国际金融危机仍在蔓延深化，新情况新挑战层出不穷。中俄作为大国、邻国、安理会常任理事国，既面临国内发展的首要任务，又肩负着促进世界和平与发展的历史使命。新形势下，中俄关系已站在新的历史起点上，面临新的发展机遇。我们要共同努力，确立中俄关系发展长远目标，推动两国关系又好又快发展。 ——我们要坚持真诚互信，巩固中俄关系政治基础。我们要增进政治互信，始终把中俄战略协作伙伴关系作为两国外交优先方向，不断为两国关系注入新的推动力。 ——我们要坚持互利双赢，夯实中俄关系经济基础。我们要保持并继续推进各领域务实合作的积极态势，探索合作新途径新方式，寻找更多利益契合点，深化两国经济合作，实现共同发展繁荣。 ——我们要坚持世代友好，打牢中俄关系社会基础。我们要积极推动两国社会各界广泛开展交流，努力增进两国人民相互了解和友谊。我代表中国政府邀请1000名俄罗斯少年儿童明年赴华参加夏令营，为中俄友好事业培养更多接班人。 ——我们要坚持紧密协作，坚定维护中俄战略安全利益。双方要加大相互支持力度，在国际和地区事务中加强磋商和合作，积极应对吲际金融危机冲击，积极参与国际政治、经济、安全领域变革，同国际社会一道，为人类和平与发展崇高事业作出不懈努力。 伴随着历史前进的步伐，中俄战略协作伙伴关系正在迎来新的发展前景。让我们秉承传统友谊，坚持世代友好，深化战略协作，共创中俄关系美好未来! 谢谢大家!

问答题欢迎各位参加“汉语及其文字体系国际研讨班”。能邀请这么多来自五湖四海的汉学家，我深感荣幸和愉快。我们将在今后的3周里进行紧张而有意义的学习和交流。 我们很高兴地看到，近年来世界各地学汉语者与日俱增。对于这门拥有世界上使用人数最多、文学历史最悠久的语言来说，这股学习热潮早该出现了。 从某种意义上说，汉语是一种很古老的语言，其最早的汉字已有近4000年的历史了。汉字在其漫长的发展史中演化成许多不同的书写形式，例如篆书、隶书、楷书和行书。中国书法家笔中的汉字往往以字形的夸张取得艺术效果，例如旅游胜地的一些石刻碑文。中国书法是一门研究艺术，随着各位学习兴趣的提高，我将适时介绍中国书法的流派，以及如何欣赏中国书法的艺术性。

问答题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} 我代表中国政府再次确认，中国政府坚定支持北京申请举办2008年国际奥运会的立场。中国政府尊重并赞赏国际奥运会评估团所作的评估报告，我们据此已制定了在北京举办一次出色奥运会的规划。中国政府将信守在北京陈述报告中所作的所有承诺，并将尽一切努力帮助北京实现其承诺。中国拥护奥林匹克精神，是奥委会各项号召和活动的重要支持者。// 在过去的半个世纪里，由于开展了全民健身运动及其它方面的因素，我国人民的健康水平有了很大提高，人民的平均预期寿命已从35岁增加到70岁，我们的运动员在国际奥委会举办的重大比赛中都有出色的表现。为了传播奥林匹克精神，中国同时也帮助其他发展中国家完善其体育设施。例如我们已经帮助他们建设了36座体育场馆，我们今后还将继续这样做。// 女士们，先生们，我希望借此机会向你们保证，如果此次奥运会产生盈余，我们将用它来建立一个奥林匹克友谊合作基金，用于帮助发展中国家的体育事业。如果发生赤字，中国政府将自己承担。在过去20年改革开放的过程中，中国已经成为世界上经济增长最快的国家之一。我们将继续保持政治稳定，社会进步和经济繁荣。//

问答题很高兴出席中美省州长对话。首先，我代表外交部和杨洁篪外长对此次对话成功举行表示热烈祝贺。长期以来，中美地方间合作是两国关系的重要基础和推动力量。举办中美省州长对话是今年1月胡锦涛主席访美的重要成果，也是中国外交部和美国国务院鼎力支持的项目。在全国友协、美国全国州长协会共同努力和两国省州积极支持下，首届中美省州长论坛于今年7月在美国盐湖城成功举行，取得令人振奋的丰硕成果。仅时隔3个月，美国州长代表团回访中国，与中方书记、省长们进行新一轮对话。我们为中美地方间合作蓬勃发展、欣欣向荣的局面感到由衷高兴。

问答题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} Thank you, Prime Minister, for that remarkable introduction. You have very lucidly provided the context for what I am about to say this morning. It's a great honor to be invited to speak in this historic setting. The fact that you want to hear from the Secretary-General of the United Nations at this time, and that Prime Minister Tony Blair himself suggested this public exchange of ideas suggests to me that both you and he are conscious of the remarkable moment in world history that we have reached.// Indeed, today we face threats to world order and world peace of a kind and a scale that we have not seen since the height of the Cold War. But if we can agree on ways to respond effectively to those threats, we also have a unique opportunity to build a world that will be safer, fairer and freer, for all its inhabitants. I think you glimpsed that opportunity during the G7 finance ministers' meeting here in London last week, with its welcome emphasis on measures to attack world poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals.// What kind of threats do I have in mind? The most obvious are terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Many experts tell us the question is not whether, but how soon, the two will be combined -- and we see, for example, a "dirty bomb" detonated in central London, or some other major capital. The loss of life would be shocking, but as nothing to the social and economic effects. Disruption would be felt not only here but around the world. // Millions in Asia, Africa and Latin America would lose their livelihoods, because of the impact on the world economy. People in those parts of the world already face many other, more immediate threats -- hunger, disease, environmental degradation, corrupt and oppressive government, civil and ethnic conflict -- threats to which the poor are always more vulnerable than the rich. Africa, my own continent, has the worst problems of all. The hopes of many African countries have been blighted by HIV/AIDS, which is devastating the most productive age-groups and the best educated social groups, slashing life expectancy, threatening to reverse decades of economic development.// I said two years ago that this might be the most decisive moment for the international system since the United Nations was founded in 1945. I still believe that. We are living through a time of danger, but also of great opportunity. The question is, will governments muster the will to seize that opportunity, and decide on a package of reforms offering protection against threats of both kinds -- from terrorism and WMD to poverty, hunger and disease. By tackling them all at once we can make sure that no one -- North or South, rich or poor--will feel left out, and that everyone will feel an interest in implementing the whole package. //

问答题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} 下面你将听到外国媒体就中国艾滋病问题的一段评论。 HIV/AIDS is now recognized clearly as a growing threat to China. According to official Chinese estimates, China now has approximately 840,000 persons infected with HIV. As of the end of 2003, only 62,159 persons had been tested and officially confirmed to be HIV-positive. The remaining HIV-positive persons in China, estimated at 780,000 persons or more, are not known to public health authorities, and the individuals themselves probably do not know their status, posing significant risks for the further spread of HIV. Senior Chinese officials, as well as international experts operational in China, now assert that HIV is steadily moving from source population such as injecting drug users and commercial sex workers into the general population. However, China has made important advances in outlook, policy and resource commitments. New leaders have emerged in China with a stronger commitment to improving social welfare and to addressing HIV/AIDS in particular. China has initiated a more proactive response to the HIV/AIDS challenge, including a national treatment and care program. New policy guidelines promote "four frees and one care": free drug treatment for poor citizens, free testing and counseling for poor citizens, free treatment to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, free schooling for AIDS orphans, and care for families affected by HIV/AIDS. Senior leaders have committed to implementing harm reduction strategies, including condom-promotion, needle exchange, and methadone substitution therapy for drug addicts. Formidable challenges lie ahead. In spite of many positive developments, daunting challenges—political, technical, and normative—lie ahead for China to combat HIV/AIDS. It is difficult to overstate the scale and challenges in terms of planning, costs, logistics, human resources, technical capacity, and the pervasive problems posed by stigma. Weak and incomplete national HIV testing and surveillance system, debilitated and dysfunctional public health system, particularly in rural areas, serious lack of qualified personnel and the necessary equipment and technologies to properly diagnose, counsel, treat, monitor and care for HIV/AIDS, just to name a few. US-based commentators have suggested that success in addressing HIV/AIDS in China will require continued high-level leadership, both in China and internationally. For engaged US policymakers, as well as country leaders and heads of international organizations, priority should lie in near-to medium-term steps which sustain Chinese leadership's focus on HIV/AIDS and public health. China's formidable structural and organizational weaknesses must be addressed systematically. Failure to implement a more strategically coordinated plan risks the loss of inter national support over time. Prevention and awareness should receive higher priority in China's strategic national plan to combat HIV/AIDS. And human resources development, through education and training of medical professionals, is crucial.

问答题我国金融改革的不断深化将为外资银行与中资银行的合作带来新的机遇。银监会鼓励外资银行通过参股中资银行，在业务、客户和市场方面获得突破；同时，在公司治理、内控、风险管理和经营理念方面带来先进的经验和做法，使中、外资银行在合作中共同获得发展。 作为深化金融改革的一个重要方面，我们欢迎合格的境外战略投资者按照自愿和商业原则，参与我国银行业余融机构的重组和改造。经国务院同意，银监会决定将单个外资机构入股的比例由原来规定的15%提高到20%；合计外资投资所占比例如低于 25%，被入股机构的性质和业务范围不发生改变。 截至目前，经国务院同意，我过已有5家股份制商业银行和城市商业银行获准吸收境外投资者入股，其中单个外资机构入股中资银行的最高比例为15%。吸收外资入股，在改善中资金融机构的资本结构，引进先进管理模式和经营理念，促进经营方式与国际接轨等方面发挥了明显和积极的作用。在这里举两个例子。 上海银行：上海银行吸收了国际金融公司、汇丰银行、香港上海商业银行投资入股，三个外方股东总共持股18%。外方股东通过提供各种技术援助和派驻董事发挥作用，使上海银行在完善治理结构、引进先进的经营管理理念和技术、加强内控等方面取得了很大进步，在城市商业银行中较早采用了规范的申报制度，披露经营管理状况。 南京市商业银行：吸收国际金融公司入股，持股比例为15%，是第三大股东。IFC入股后，在完善南京市商业银行的治理结构、经营管理体制、信贷结构、会计制度等方面提出了大量建议，其中很多建议已在实施之中，对促进南京市商业银行提高经营管理水平发挥了重要作用。
