问答题 And then we have Major Weir; for although even his house is now demolished, old Edinburgh cannot clear herself of his unholy memory. He and his sister lived together in an odour of sour piety. She was a marvelous spinster; he had a rare gift of supplication, and was known among devout admirers by the name of Angelical Thomas. He was a tall, black man, and ordinarily looked down to the ground; a grim countenance, and a big nose. His garb was still a cloak, and somewhat dark, and he never went without his staff. How it came about that Angelical Thomas was burned in company with his staff, and his sister in gentler manner hanged, and whether these two were simply religious maniacs of the more furious order, or had real as well as imaginary sins upon their old-world shoulders, are points happily beyond the reach of our intention. At least, it is suitable enough that out of this superstitious city some such example should have been put forth: the outcome and line flower of dark and vehement religion. And at least the facts struck the public fancy and brought forth a remarkable family of myths. It would appear that the Major’ s staff went upon his errands, and even ran before him with a lantern on dark nights. Gigantic females, ‘stentoriously laughing and gaping with tehees of laughter’ at unseasonable hours of night and morning, haunted the purlieus of his abode. His house fell under such a load of infamy that no one dared to sleep in it, until municipal improvement leveled the structure to the ground. And my father has often been told in the nursery how the devil’ s coach, drawn by six coal-black horses with fiery eyes, would drive at night into the West Bow, and belated people might see the dead Major through the glasses. Another legend is that of the two maiden sisters. A legend I am afraid it may be, in the most discreditable meaning of the term; or perhaps something worse—a mere yesterday’ s fiction. But it is a story of some vitality, and is worthy of a place in the Edinburgh calendar. This pair inhabited a single room; from the facts, it must have been double-bedded; and it may have been of some dimensions: but when all is said, it was a single room. Here our two spinsters fell out—on some point of controversial divinity belike (也许) : but fell out so bitterly that there was never a word spoken between them black or white from that day forward, foil would have thought they would separate: but no; whether from lack of means, or the Scottish fear of scandal, they continued to keep house together where they were. A chalk line drawn upon the floor separated their two domains; it bisected (切成两部分) the doorway and the fireplace, so that each could go out and in, and do her cooking, without violating the territory of the other. So, for years, they coexisted in a hateful silence; their meals, their ablutions, their friendly visitors, exposed to an unfriendly scrutiny; and at night, in the dark watches, each could hear the breathing of her enemy. Never did four walls look down upon an uglier spectacle than these sisters rivaling in unsisterliness. Here is a canvas for Hawthorne to have turned into a cabinet picture—he had a Puritanic vein. which would have fitted him to treat this Puritanic horror; he could have shown them to us in their sicknesses and at their hideous twin devotions, thumbing a pair of great Bibles , or praying aloud for each other’ s penitence with marrowy(多髓的, 有力的) emphasis; now each, with kilted petticoat, at her own corner of the fire on some tempestuous evening; now sitting each at her window, looking out upon the summer landscape sloping far below them towards the firth(峡湾) field-paths where they had wandered hand in hand; or, as age and infirmity grow upon them and prolonged their toilettes, and their bands began to tremble and their heads to nod involuntarily, growing only the more steeled in enmity with years; until one fine day, at a word, a look, a visit or the approach of death, their hearts would melt and the chalk boundary be overstepped for ever. Alas! To those who know the ecclesiastical history of the race—the most perverse and melancholy in man’ s annals— this will seem only a figure of much that is typical of Scotland and her high-seated capital above the Forth—a figure so grimly realistic that it may pass with strangers for a caricature.

问答题中国政府2014年正式宣布到2030达到碳排放峰值，并以尽早达到排放峰值为目标，中国是第一个给自己下碳排放硬指标的大新兴经济体。这不仅是中国作为世界最大发展中国家对全人类要尽的义务，而且这已成为中国国内社会发展议程的紧迫需求。近年中国很多地区不断出现的严重雾霾为经济社会发展方式敲了警钟，中国人切实认识到保护生态、维护可持续发展的重要性。而减少雾霾与减少碳排放是紧密相联的。可以说，中国社会如今对减少碳排放比外界批评我们“排放高”的人还要着急。

问答题One by one, economies around the world are stumbling. By cutting interest rates again this week—for the seventh time this year—the Federal Reserve hopes it can keep America out of recession. But in an increasing number of economies, from Japan to Taiwan to Mexico and Brazil, GDP is already shrinking. Global industrial production felt at an annual rate of 6 percent in the first half of 2001. Early estimates suggest that gross world product, as a whole, may have contracted in the second quarter, for possibly the first time in two decades. Welcome to the first global recession of the 21st century.【】So far, America itself has escaped a technical recession, defined as two quarters of falling GDP. But on August 29 revised figures are expected to show that America’ s GDP growth in the second quarter was close to zero or even negative, rather than the 0. 7 percent annual rate originally announced. With GDP growing well below trend for several quarters, profits tumbling and unemployment rising, it now smells horribly like a recession.【】Earlier this year, when American first sneezed, the European Central Bank (along with most private-sector economists) argued that the Euro area was insulated from America’ s slowdown and had little to worry about. This seems to have been wrong. In Germany there are fears about recession as business investment and retail sales tumble. Recent figures confirmed that Germany’ s GDP stagnated in the second quarter, Italy’ s GDP fell in the second quarter, and’ although growth has held up better in France and Spain, the growth in the Euro area as a whole was close to zero in the quarter. Nobody is forecasting an actual recession in the Euro area this year, but it is no longer expected to provide an engine for world growth.【】As for Japan, it is probably already in recession. Japan’ s GDP grew slightly in the first quarter. Goldman Sachs reckons that figures could show that GDP felt at an annual rate of as much as 6 percent in the second quarter, and the contraction has almost certainly continued into the second half of the year. Persistent deflation continues to be a severe problem.
