问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following passage carefully and then translate each underlined part into Chinese. Desertification in the arid United States is flagrant. Groundwater supplies beneath vast stretches of land are dropping precipitously. Whole river systems have dried up; others are chocked with sediment washed from denuded land. 71. {{U}}Hundreds of thousands of acres of previously irrigated cropland have been abandoned to wind or weeds. Several million acres of natural grassland are eroding at unnaturally high rates as a result of cultivation or overgrazing. All told, about 225 million acres of land are undergoing severe desertification.{{/U}} 72. {{U}}Federal subsidies encourage the exploitation of arid land resources. Low-interest loans for irrigation and other water delivery systems encourage farmers, industry, and municipalities to mine groundwater. Federal disaster relief and commodity programs encourage arid-land farmers to plow up natural grassland to plant crops such as wheat and, especially cotton. Federal grazing fees that are well below the free market price encourage overgrazing of the commons. The market,{{/U}} too, provides powerful incentives to exploit arid land resources beyond their carrying capacity. 73. {{U}}When commodity prices are high relative to the farmer's or rancher's operating costs, the return on a production-enhancing investment is invaribly greater than the return on a conservation investment. And when commodity prices are relatively low? arid land ranchers and farmers often have to use all their available financial resources to stay solvent.{{/U}} 74. {{U}}If the United States is, as it appears, well on its way toward overdrawing the arid land resources? then the policy choice is simply to pay now for the appropriate remedies or pay far more later, when productive benefits from arid - land resources have been both realized and largely terminated.{{/U}}

问答题像言语一样，艺术是一种交际手段。言语，无论是口头语还是书面语，都能使最近几代人理解前几代人以及他们自己那个时代的、最优秀且很有才智的人通过体验和思索所发现的全部知识。艺术使最近几代人理解先辈们体验到的所有情感以及与他们同时代最优秀、最杰出的人所体验的情感。正如知识的演变取决于消除和更换错误的东西，情感的演变因艺术而得以继续。不太善良的、对人类的幸福没有多大必要的情感被另外一些更善良的、对人类的幸福更有必要的情感所替代。这便是艺术的目的，艺术越是能实现目的，它就越好；艺术越是难以实现目的，它就越糟。

问答题几个世纪以来，：科学一直是现代人的骄傲，科学成了“客观”、“真理”的代名词。然而，后现代思潮认为，科学远非像现代思潮所标榜的那样是“客观的”、“中立的”，它不仅深受人们的传统和文化的影响，也深深地渗透着权力。科学知识内在地与权力联在一起，它的确立是建立在对非科学的知识的排斥之上的。

问答题请阅读下列一篇新闻报道并就此事件作一简单描述。 2．根据作文题要求及木篇报道给出你的评论。 被撤销“省示范高中”称号 省教育厅发出通报要求各中小学校开展教育思想大讨论 本报讯 新华社记者葛如江报道：人民日报“华东新闻”5月21日刊发“投票选差生孩子怕上学”稿，披露了安徽省宿州市第二中学个别老师歧视。体罚“差生”问题，引起安徽省委，省政府领导和省教育厅的高度重视。 6月3日，安徽省教育厅向全省发出通报，撤销宿州市第二中学“省示范高中”称号，建议给予有关责任人相应处理。通报要求，各中小学校要组织全体教师结合发生在宿州二中的事件，开展教育思想大讨论，集中进行法制学习和教育活动，增强广大教师保护学生，关爱学生的责任感和使命感。 通报说，宿州二中个别教师歧视，体罚学生，学校虽然对相关教师作出了相应处理，但认识不到位，处理不及时，且整改措施不力，引起学生及家长强烈不满。对此，安徽省委，省政府有关领导要求省教育厅严肃查处．省教育厅厅长陈贤忠看到报道后批示：“看了这篇报道，心情十分沉重。这是一所学校，还是省示范高中，怎么可以如此对待学生!教师的职责就是使学生从无知到有知，从差生转变成优秀，一个毕业不久的老师如此不尊重学生，已经配不上“人民教师”的称号，学生大量流失还没有使这位老师警醒吗?问题发生在老师身上，作为宿州二中的领导到哪儿去了?!学校领导要深刻反思，此事事关学校的办学指导思想。” 安徽省和宿州市调查组认为，发生在宿州二中的个别教师歧视，体罚学生事件，是一起严重违反有关教育法规和教育规律，背离职业道德要求，侵害学生受教育权的事件，反映出该校办学指导思想不端正。学校个别负责人和少数教师认为，只要把升学率搞上去了，就能一俊遮百丑，甚至认为相关老师犯的错误，是“好心办了坏事情”，表示同情，处理起来心软。这一事件暴露出少数教师法制观念淡薄，思想道德素质低下。学校管理松散，岗位责任和相关制度不落实。据了解，类似的事件在其他一些地方也不同程度地存在，各地各校都应当从宿州二中这一事件中得到警示。 通报说，经研究决定，撤销宿州二中“省示范高中”称号，该校享有的与省示范高中有关的招生、收费政策停止执行。该校校长对这一事件负有不可推卸的领导责任，建议宿州市免去其校长职务。同时建议，给子有关负责人以行政处分，通报批评。 (新华社供本报专稿)“华东新闻"2004年06月08日第二版

问答题我认为没有人不喜欢到处去看看：多看看他人，多阅他乡，不但可以认识世界，亦可认识自己。有人旅行时乘豪华游轮，谢灵运在世大概也会如此。有人背负行囊，翻山越岭；有人骑自行车环游天下。这些都令我羡慕。我所优为的，却是驾车长征，去看天涯海角。我的太太比我更爱旅行，所以夫妻两人正好互做旅伴，这一点只怕徐霞客也要羡慕。不过徐霞客是大旅行家、大探险家，我们，只是浅游而已。

问答题我们要共同珍惜和爱护地球家园。我们可以看到工业化、城市化、全球化在给人类带来无尽财富的同时，也付出了资源枯竭、环境污染、生态破坏的巨大代价。地球不仅是我们从父辈那里继承来的，更是从我们的后代那里借来的，因此我们必须尊重自然，注重节约能源资源和保护生态环境。

问答题国际金融危机的发生和应对使我们更加深刻地认识到，在经济全球化深入发展的今天，要推动世界经济可持续增长、有效应对世界经济面临的风险和挑战，各国各地区必须加强交流合作，协力解决经济发展中的深层次、结构性问题。2009年亚太经合组织第十七次领导人非正式会议就包容性增长达成共识，提出要更好地抓住经济全球化带来的机遇、更好应对经济全球化带来的挑战，创造就业机会，造福广大民众。实现包容性增长，切实解决经济发展中出现的社会问题，为推进贸易和投资自由化、实现经济长远发展奠定坚实社会基础，这是亚太经合组织各成员需要共同研究和着力解决的重大课题。 实现包容性增长，根本目的是让经济全球化和经济发展成果惠及所有国家和地区、惠及所有人群，在可持续发展中实现经济社会协调发展。我们应该朝着生产发展、生活富裕、生态良好的目标，坚持发展经济，着力转变经济发展方式，提高经济发展质量，增加社会财富，不断为全体人民逐步过上富裕生活创造物质基础。我们应该坚持社会公平正义，着力促进人人平等获得发展机会，逐步建立以权利公平、机会公平、规则公平、分配公平为主要内容的社会公平保障体系，不断消除人民参与经济发展、分享经济发展成果方面的障碍。我们应该坚持以人为本，着力保障和改善民生，建立覆盖全民的社会保障体系，注重解决教育、劳动就业、医疗卫生、养老、住房等民生问题，努力做到发展为了人民、发展依靠人民、发展成果由人民共享。

问答题In 1959 Jacoues Cousteau sounded the alarm: the Mediterranean was dying. Diving off France's southern coast, Cousteau found a marine desert that a few years earlier had teemed with fish and plants. He blamed poisons from the large urban and industrial complexes built near the sea. Cousteau crystallized growing public concern over pollution of the world's seas and oceans. By the 1960s, oil spills, chemicals and sewage were turning areas of the Baltic into toxic cesspools, heavy meials and DDT had accumulated in fish and shellfish from the Atlantic to the China Sea, causing carnage among birds that ate them and poisoning people.

问答题Directions: In this part, you are required to write a composition entitled Migrant Farmer Workers in China in no less than 200 words. Your composition should be based on the following outline: 1. An important role China's migrant farmer workers play in the construction of our socialist modernization. 2. The problems they are confronted with. 3. Our government's concern for them.

问答题(1) The Chinese, from the highest to the lowest, have an imperturbable quiet dignity, which is usually not destroyed even by a European education. They are not self-assertive, either individually or nationally; their pride is too profound for self-assertion. They admit China's military weakness in comparison with foreign powers, but they do not consider efficiency in homicide the most important quality in a man or a nation. I think that, at bottom, they almost all believe that China is the greatest nation in the world, and has the finest civilization. A Westerner cannot be expected to accept this view, because it is based on traditions utterly different from his own. (2) But gradually one comes to feel that it is, at any rate, not an absurd view; that it is, in fact, the logical outcome of a self-consistent standard of values. The typical Westerner wishes to be the cause of as many changes as possible in his environment, the typical Chinese wishes to enjoy as much and as delicately as possible. This difference is at the bottom of most of the contrast between China and the English-speaking world. (3) We in the West make fetish of "progress" which is the ethical camouflage of the desire to be the cause of changes. If we are asked, for instance, whether machinery has really improved the world, the question strikes us as foolish; it has brought great changes and therefore great "progress. " (4) What we believe to be a love of progress is really, in nine cases out of ten, a love of power, an enjoyment of the feeling that by our fiat we can make things different. For the sake of this pleasure, a young American will work so hard that, by the time he has acquired his millions, he has become a victim of dyspepsia, compelled to live on toast and water, and to be a mere spectator of the feasts that he offers to his guests. (5) But he consoles himself with the thought that he can control politics, and provoke or prevent wars as may suit his investments. It is this temperament that makes Western nations "progressive".

问答题教育很可能是现在争议最大、争论多的一个题目。在一个国家未来的经济增长越来越 依靠科学和技术的时候，教育在一个国家未来的前途中起着决定性的作用。今天，享受教 育的特权已不再限于极少数的部分人。教育的发展是如此之快，它现在已成为一个大行业。事 实上，它是最大的行业，其雇用的人数和所有所付的工资比其他任何地个全国性企业的都要多。 有一些教育机构包装标非常漂亮，借以提高知名度和吸引学生。在一定意义上讲，教育已经 变成一种商品。从事教育的人对商业化这个说法会感到不舒服，但是，恐怕除了少数例 外，很多大学已经陷入了演变成有利可图的大规模造厂的过程。培养心智不再吃香，推 销可出售的技能成了时髦。这就是教育的悲剧。不用说，某种拯救教育以防其更加衰落的 具有想象力的办法和共同努力早就该出台了。竞争中的考试就应该由素质教育取代，死记 硬背应该让位于创造性解决实际问题的能力的培养。只有这样，我们才能迎来教育的真 正进步。
