问答题假日连锁店的住客们每年从它们的2638家分店中卷走50万条毛巾,酒店想知道这些毛巾后来的遭遇如何。不过,假日酒店并没有对顺手牵羊者兴师问罪的意思,只想让他们为一次全国性促销活动添砖加瓦。酒店宣布对这些客人实施特赦,条件是要他们讲出这些年中被拿走的那些毛巾都派上了什么用场。
每收到一个故事,假目酒店就向一个慈善机构捐款1美元。这个机构是假日酒店在1986年成立的,目的就是帮助患有致命疾病的儿童。
假日酒店品牌管理高级副总裁马克说:“这是件轻松愉快的事情,只不过是让人们站出来讲述自己的故事。如果他们心里因衣柜存有一条假日酒店毛巾而残留着些许愧疚感的话,这一来也就烟消云散了。”
这家连锁店要求客人们将自己的故事放到酒店的网站上,然后评选出25个最佳故事,故事的主人将获得一条限量珍藏的假日酒店毛巾。
网站已经收到了数百个故事。一名男子说他在墨西哥蒙特雷的假日酒店拿了一条毛巾作为蜜月夜晚的纪念,后来,伊人已去,毛巾犹存。
其实,失去一条毛巾只给酒店造成3美元的损失,酒店并不介意客人拿走毛巾,而大多数客人也认为房价中已经包含了毛巾的费用。

问答题
56. {{U}}When you are in the business of sending spacecraft to other
planets, it is probably wise to do everything you can m keep your space-probes
sterile (无菌的){{/U}}. NASA, America's space agency, certainly does so. After all,
you would not want hugs from one planet to contaminate another where they might
possibly thrive. But according to Curt Mileikowsky, of the Royal
Institute of Technology in Stockholm, this may already have happened naturally
billions of years ago when the solar sys- tem was young. For Dr Mileikowsky has
taken a century-old idea called panspermia (有生源说), and shown that it is
plausible. 57. {{U}}Panspermia is the theory that life does not
start independently on each planet that has it (assuming that other planets do).
Rather, it hops from place to place, "infecting" new worlds as it goes{{/U}}.
Supported by experts in biology, geology and celestial mechanics, Dr Mileikowsky
argued to the American Astronomical Society meeting in Atlanta that this is not
as outlandish as it sounds. 58. {{U}}Bungling (笨手笨脚) space
organizations apart, the only mode of travel open to microbes seems to be
meteorites (流星). Most of these are small bits of junk from the asteroid (小行星)
belt that have gone off course{{/U}}. But some are rocks that have been flung into
space from the surfaces of planets as a result of those planets having been
struck by even larger bits of rock--decent-sized asteroids or comets.
59. {{U}}If there is life on such a planet, microscopic forms of it will
probably live deep in- side rocks, as they do on earth. The acceleration of
lift-off would not kill something that size{{/U}}. 60. {{U}}If a
rock is large enough, the heat generated as it is thrown clear will be
negligible except at its surface--where, ii anything, melting may even produce
an airtight skin to protect any microbes deeper down from the unpleasant vacuum
of space{{/U}}.

71. {{U}}Vacations were once the prerogative of the privileged
few, even as late as the 19th century. Now they are considered the right of all,
except for such unfotrunate masses as, for example, the bulk of puplation in
certain countries, for whom life, save for sleep and brief periods of rest, is
uniterrupted toil.{{/U}} Vacations are more necessary now than
before because today the average life is less well-rounded and has become
increasingly compartmentalized. 72. {{U}}I suppose the idea of vacations, as we
conceive it, must be incomprehensible to primitive peoples. Rest of some kind
has of course always been a part of the rhythm of human life, but earlier ages
did not find it necessary to organize it in the way that modern man has done.
Holidays and feast days were sufficient.{{/U}} With modern man's
increasing tensions, with the stultifying quality of so much of his work, this
break in the year's routine became steadily more necessary. 73. {{U}}Vacations
became mandatory for the purpose of renewal and repair. And so it came about
that in the United States, the most self-indulgent of nations, the most tense
and compartmentalized, vacations have come to take a predominant place in
domestic conversation.{{/U}}
问答题把食物给动物的时候,它会流涎。在给予食物之前不久,如果反复出示铃铛,动物听到铃声就开始流涎,即使不提供食物也是如此。只要铃声伴随着食物的试验反复进行,反应的时间就会减少。这一过程被称为条件反射作用,伴随着铃声的流涎叫做条件反射。如果多次出示铃铛却不让食物紧接着出现,条件反射要么自然而然地产生,要么就会失效。
问答题从某种意义上说,各国对多极化的认可反映了国际关系中对民主化的追求。在经济全球化的时代,一种深入的相互依赖的关系正在国与国之间形成。在联合国宪章中曾发表过的一种国与国平等的原则正深入人心,越来越多的国家已经清楚地意识到:无论大小、强弱、贫富,所有的国家都是世界大家庭中平等的一员,国际关系的民主化将成为构筑世界新秩序的共同愿望。

问答题Title: To Improve Tourist Industry in China. Word limit: Not less than 200 words
问答题The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil ex ports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hem isphere, could push the price higher still in the short term. Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following passage carefully and then translate
each underlined part into Chinese.
71. {{U}}A recent phenomenon in present-day science and
technology is the increasing trend toward "directed" or "programmed" research;
i.e. research whose scope and objectives are predetermined by private or
government organizations rather than researchers themselves.{{/U}} Any scientist
working for such organizations and investigating in a given field therefore
tends to do so in accordance with a plan or program designed
beforehand. At the beginning of the century, however, the
situation was quite different. At that time there were no industrial research
organizations in the modern sense; the laboratory unit consisted of a few
scientists at the most, assisted by one or two technicians. Nevertheless, the
scientist, often working with inadequate equipment in unsuitable rooms, was free
to choose any subject for investigation he liked, since there was no
predetermined program to which he had to conform. 72. {{U}}As the
century developed, the increasing magnitude and complexity of the problems to be
solved made it impossible, in many cases, for the individual scientist to deal
with the huge mass of new data, techniques and equipment that were required for
carrying out research accurately and efficiently.{{/U}} The increasing scale and
scope of the experiments needed to test new hypotheses and develop new
techniques and industrial processes led to the setting up of research groups or
teams using highly-complicated equipment in elaborately-designed laboratories.
Owing to the large sum of money involved, it was then felt essential to direct
these human and material resources into specific channels with clearly-defined
objectives. In this way it was considered that the quickest and most practical
results could be obtained. This, then, was programmed (programmatic)
research. One of the effects of this organized and standardized
investigation is to cause the scientist to become increasingly involved in
applied research (development), especially in the branches of science which seem
most likely to have industrial applications. Private industry and even
government departments tend to concentrate on immediate results and show
comparatively little interest in long-range investigations. 73. {{U}}In
consequence, there is a steady shift of scientists from the pure to the applied
field, where there are more jobs available, frequently more highly- paid and
with better technical facilities than jobs connected with pure research in a
university.{{/U}} Owing to the interdependence between pure and
applied science, it is easy to see that this system, if extended too far,
carries considerable dangers for the future of science-not only pure science,
but applied science as well.

问答题Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States and Europe. But increasingly the Japanese are seeing a decline of the traditional work-moral values. Ten years ago young people were hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being, but now Japan has largely fulfilled its economic needs, and young people don"t know where they should go next.
The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male-dominated job market have limited the opportunities of teen-agers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing Japan"s rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs. In a recent survey, it was found that only 24.5 percent of Japanese students were fully satisfied with school life, compared with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than did their counterparts in the 10 other countries surveyed.
While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics, Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanical learning over creativity and self-expression. "Those things that do not show up in the test scores personality, ability, courage or humanity are completely ignored," says Toshiki Kaifu, chairman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party"s education committee. "Frustration against this kind of thing leads kids to drop out and run wild." Last year Japan experienced 2,125 incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers. Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return to the prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World War Ⅱ had weakened the "Japanese morality of respect for parents."
But that may have more to do with Japanese life-styles. "In Japan," says educator Yoko Muro, "it"s never a question of whether you enjoy your job and your life, but only how much you can endure." With economic growth has come centralization, fully 76 percent of Japan"s 119 million citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, two generation households. Urban Japanese have long endured lengthy commutes (travels to and from work) and crowded living conditions, but as the old group and family values weaken, the discomfort is beginning to tell. In the past decade, the Japanese divorce rate, while still well below that of the United States, has increased by more than 50 percent, and suicides have increased by nearly one-quarter.

问答题Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and what it can do for us now than formerly. Summer homes, European vacations, travel, BMW"s -- such items do not seem less in demand than they did a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannot admit their dreams as easily and openly as they once could, lest they be thought of as pushing, acquisitive, and vulgar. For such people and many more perhaps not so outstanding, the proper action seems to be, "Succeed at all costs but refrain from appearing ambitious." The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles, while its public defenders are few and ineffective. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and cultivated in the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its urges, but only that since it is no longer openly honored, it is therefore less often openly professed. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground or made devious.
