单选题{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}} The Africans' interest is to guard preferential export rules enshrined in the temporary African Growth and Opportunity Act, passed by Congress in 2,000. Tariff-free exports of some 6,000 goods from Africa to the United States are boosting trade and investment in southern Africa. Lesotho's fast-growing textile industry depends almost entirely on Chinese investment in factories to make clothes for sale in the United States. The region also wants more access to America's markets for fruit, beef and other agricultural goods. American interest lies mainly in South Africa, by far the largest economy in the region. Services account for 60% of its GDP, and it increasingly dominates the rest of Africa in banking, information technology, telecom, retail' and other areas. Just as British banks, such as Barclays, have moved their African headquarters to South Africa over the past year, American investors see the country as a platform to the rest of the continent. Agreeing investment rules and resolving differences on intellectual property rights are the most urgent issues. American drug firms want to be part of the fast expansion in South Africa of production of anti-retroviral drugs, used against AIDS. By 2007 South Africa alone expects 1.2m patients to take the drugs daily. The country might be the world's biggest exporter of anti-AIDS drugs within a few years. Striking a bilateral deal now should make American investments easier. But Mr. Zoellick's greater concern is for multilateral trade talks that stalled in Cancun, Mexico, in September. Alec Erwin, his South African counterpart, helped to organize the G20 group of poor and middle-income countries that opposed joint American-EU proposals there; he is widely tipped to take over as head of the World Trade Organization late next year, and would be a useful ally. So Mr. Zoellick is trying to charm his African partner by agreeing to drop support for most of a group of issues (known as "Singapore" issues) that jammed up the talks at Cancun, and were opposed by poor countries; he says he also favors abolishing export subsidies in America--though only if Japan and the EU agree to do the same. That would please African exporters who say such subsidies destroy markets for their goods. Mr. Zoellick's efforts to make more friends may be paying off. Even though America has treated Africa very shabbily on trade in the past, Mr. Erwin hints it is easier doing business with America than with Europe or Japan. A small sign, but perhaps a telling one.

单选题To the people of ancient Egypt, life on earth was short. Life after death, however, was eternal. Therefore they built their tombs of stone and they took their possessions with them into another world. The more important the people, the greater the tomb. The Pharaohs were the rulers of the country and when they died they became gods. Many of their tombs remain, and some have become a wonder of the world. These are the pyramids. The purpose of these stone mountains was to protect the burial chamber from the weather and from thieves who might try to steal the gold, jewels and precious possessions placed there to accompany the dead ruler into eternal life. Their shape, with four triangular sides spreading from a single point, represented the rays of the sun. Their position on the west bank of the River Nile was where the sun set every day and where they believed it began its journey into the other world. All the burial grounds in ancient Egypt were on the west bank of the river.

单选题U. S. jeans maker Levi Strauss & Co. denied it was playing on consumer fears by launching a line of trousers fitted with "anti-radiation(防辐射)" pockets for mobile phones. The trousers, with a lining which the makers say shields(防护物)against radiation, are designed by Dockers, a brand name of Levi Strauss. "We are not implying in any way that mobile phones are dangerous. Our intention is not to cash in on consumer fears but provide the consumers with what they want," Levi"s European communications manager Cedric Jungpeter said. The design was the fruit of extensive market research showing that the fashion conscious was also health conscious, Jungpeter said. "The debate is open. Although no study has proved mobile phones are harmful, no study has proved the contrary either. " He added. Worldwide studies into the possible dangers of mobile phones produce often conflicting conclusions. A recent one carried out by Australian researchers over a three-year period showed that radio emissions from mobile phones did not trigger the growth of tumors in mice, and therefore probably did not do so in humans either. And another Australian study concluded cellular phones could foster tumor growth. Swedish research published recently concluded that long-term users of first generation mobile phones faced an up to 80 percent greater risk of developing brain tumors than non-users. But a Danish study last year of 400,000 mobile phone users showed no increased cancer risk.

单选题Experts predict that China's healthcare market will have an annual growth of 6 to 8 percent in the next few years, making it one of the potentially most prosperous. In Shanghai, annual medical expenditure is estimated to be 16 billion yuan (U. S. 93 billion). With an increasingly (31) population, the growing consumption power and longer life (32) of local residents, the medical market has great opportunities. However l limited medical resources cannot meet people's needs (33) financial deficits in State-owned hospitals. (34) , there is room for a range of different medical organizations.

单选题Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future. The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car"s movements. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1, 500 to 2, 000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. (300 words)
