问答题 While much of the attention on fighting AIDS and other diseases in poor countries has focused on access to affordable drugs, concern is now shifting to the question of who exactly, will deliver them. Unfortunately, there is a severe shortage of doctors, nurses and other health-care workers in these countries. According to a report published in this week's Lancet by the Joint Learning Initiative (JLI), an international consortium of academic centres and development agencies, sub-Saharan Africa has only one-tenth the number Of nurses and doctors per head of population that Europe does, though its health-care problems are far mom pressing. (47) The reasons for this are tw07fold, and well known—not enough health-care workers are trained in the fast place, and too many of those who are trained then leave for better-paid jobs in the rich world. What the report does is to put some numbers on these problems. A mere 5,000 doctors, it finds, graduate in Africa each year (a third of the number that graduate in America). Only 50 of 600 doctors mined in Zambia in recent years are still in the country. There are more Malawian doctors in Manchester than Malawi. (48) And many rich countries exacerbate the problem by recruiting from poor ones to help deal with their own shortages. To overcome all this. the JLI reckons that the world needs 4m more health-care workers, of whom lm are required in sub-Saharan Africa alone. The question is. who will pay for them? The report floats some ideas. (49) It recommends that roughly $400m, or 4% of the overseas aid currently spent on health, -be earmarked to help build up the health-care workforce in poor countries. (50) But it also suggests that better use be made of existing resources, for example by employing local volunteers rather than highly trained doctors for many. routine matters. As Lincoln Chen of Harvard University, one of the report's authors, points out, a few countries, such as Brazil. Thailand and Iran. have taken steps in the right direction. Others need to follow their lead.

问答题 The proportion of works cut for the cinema in Britain dropped from 40 percent when I joined the BBFC in 1975 to less than 4 percent when I left. But I don't' think that 20 years from now it will be possible to regulate any medium as closely as I regulated film. The Internet is, of course, the greatest problem for this century. (46) {{U}}The world will have to find a means, through some sort of international treaty or United Nations initiative, to control the material that's now going totally unregulated into people's homes{{/U}}. That said, it will only take one little country like Paraguay to refuse to sign a treaty for transmission to be unstoppable. Parental control is never going to be sufficient. (47) {{U}}I'm still very worried about the impact of violent video games, even though researchers say their impact is moderated by the fact that players don't so much experience the game as enjoy the technical maneuvers that enable you to win{{/U}}. But in respect of violence in mainstream films, I'm more optimistic. Quite suddenly, tastes have changed, and it's no longer Stallone or Schwarzenegger who are the top stars, but Leonardo Di Caprio--that has taken everybody by surprise. (48) {{U}}Go through the most successful films in Europe and America now and you will find virtually none that are violent{{/U}}. Quentin Tarantino didn't usher in a new, violent generation, and films are becoming much more pre-social than one would have expected. Cinemagoing will undoubtedly survive. The new multiplexes are a glorious experience, offering perfect sound and picture and very comfortable seats, things which had died out in the 1980s. (49) {{U}}I can't believe we've achieved that only to throw it away in favour of huddling around a 14-inch computer monitor to watch digitally-delivered movies at home{{/U}}. It will become increasingly cheap to make films, with cameras becoming smaller and lighter but remaining very precise. (50) {{U}}That means greater chances for new talent to emerge, as it will be much easier to learn how to be a better film-maker.{{/U}} Careers will be shorter in the future, and once retired, people will spend a lot of time learning to do things that amuse them--like making videos. Fifty years on we could well be media-saturated as both producers and audiences: instead of writing letters, one will send little home movies entitled My Week.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. More than any other date on the calendar, Thanksgiving has remained private and personal, without the trappings that spoil the rest of contemporary life. {{U}}{{U}} 1 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}On this holiday, Americans are allowed to be as prayerful or as worldly as they choose, with no one complaining that they have somehow taken the thanks out of Thanksgiving{{/U}}. For all the public talk about family values, no other holiday brings generations together without the lure of anything more tangible than a good dinner. Distractions are gloriously limited: the malls are closed and the televised sports offerings sparse. {{U}}{{U}} 2 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}Unlike New Year's Eve, no one feels compelled to have the time of one's life or broods excessively when reality fails to conform to these exaggerated expectations{{/U}}. The perfect Thanksgiving is timeless. No gastronomical (art of cooking good food or the pleasure of eating it) theory can explain the enduring appeal of the Thanksgiving dinner. Americans have grown accustomed to utter commercialism taken to excess, but somehow Thanksgiving has resisted the lure of an age of agreed. {{U}}{{U}} 3 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}The greeting- card producers and the florists must lament a national holiday in which they are doomed to play such a minor role{{/U}}. For if one cares to send the very best, one flies home for Thanksgiving. Even the TV networks have never figured out a way to transform Thanksgiving into a prime-time pageant. {{U}}{{U}} 4 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}Politicians are happily silent on Thanksgiving, and such restraint is appropriate for a holiday that commemorates one of the rare occasions when the white man treated the Indian with dignity and respect{{/U}}. But public officials may also be restrained by the experience of Franklin Roosevelt, the only modem President to try to tamper with Thanksgiving. Back in 1939, Roosevelt touched off a patriotic uprising when he issued a proclamation unilaterally shifting Thanksgiving from the then customary last Thursday in November (the 30th) to the fourth Thursday (the 23rd) as a way of granting Depression-era merchants a longer Christmas selling season. {{U}}{{U}} 5 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}What adds an odd, almost innocent flavor to this bygone controversy is the old-fashioned notion that department stores wait patiently until the end of Thanksgiving to unveil Santa's workshop{{/U}}. In a nation where the mall never gets tedious and seven-days-a-week shopping seems valued as a civic religion, Thanksgiving stands out as an oasis of quietness and a reminder of the values that once tempered America's materialism. This Thursday give thanks for the one holiday that cannot be bought.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. The old adage of the title has a parallel in the scientific world "all research leads to biomedical advances". The fact that research in one discipline contributes to another is well understood by the scientific community. It is not, however, so clear to the public or to public policy-makers. (46) {{U}}Because public support for funding of biomedical research is strong, the scientific community could build a more effective case for public support of all science by articulating how research in other disciplines benefits biological medicine.{{/U}} The time is ripe to improve public appreciation of science. A recent National Science Foundation survey suggested that Americans continue to support research expenditures. In addition, public opinion polls indicate that scientists and science leaders enjoy enviably high public esteems. (47) {{U}}Instead of lamenting the lack of public understanding of science, we can work to enhance public appreciation of scientific research by showing how investigations are in many areas close-knit and contribute to biomedical advances.{{/U}}A crucial task is to convey to the public, in easily understood terms, the specific benefits and the overall good that result from research in all areas of science. Take, for example, agricultural research. (48) {{U}}On the surface, it may appear to have made few significant contributions to biomedical advances, except those directly related to human nutrition.{{/U}}This view is incorrect, however. In the case of nutrition, the connections between agricultural and biomedical research are best exemplified by the vitamin discoveries. (49) {{U}}At the turn of the century, when the concept of vitamins had not yet surfaced and nutrition as a scientific discipline did not exist, it was in a department of agricultural chemistry that the first true demonstration of vitamins was made.{{/U}} Single-grain feeding experiments documented the roles of vitamins A and B. The essential role of some minerals (iron and copper) was shown later, and these discoveries provided the basis of modern human nutrition research. (50) {{U}}Despite such direct links, however, it is the latest discoveries that have been made in agricultural research that reveal its true importance to biomedicine.{{/U}} Life-saving antibiotics such as streptomycin were discovered in soil microorganisms. The first embryo transplant was made in a dairy cow, and related research led to advances in the understanding of human reproduction.
