问答题活动组织者于本周二称，全球24个城市将于下个月“陷入黑暗”。因为这些城市的家庭和企业届时将集体熄灯，以引起人们对全球变暖问题的关注。 【T1】 “地球一小时”活动于去年在澳大利亚最大的城市悉尼(Sydney)首次举行。当时全市约有220万居民集体熄灯，没有灯光的悉尼歌剧院沐浴在月光罩，海湾大桥(Harbour Bridge)也熄灯响应。 活动组织者安迪-里德利说，悉尼的“熄灯一小时”活动引起了世界各国的极大兴趣。目前，亚太、北美、欧洲以及中东地区的23个城市已报名参加今年的活动。最新响应的八个城市包括：美国的亚特兰大、旧金山和菲尼克斯，泰国首都曼谷，加拿大的渥太华、温哥华和蒙特利尔，以及爱尔兰的都柏林。 此外，参与该活动的城市还包括：澳大利亚的悉尼、柏斯、墨尔本、堪培拉、布里斯班、阿德莱德，丹麦的哥本哈根、阿胡斯、奥尔堡和欧登塞，菲律宾首都马尼拉，斐济最大的城市苏瓦，新西兰的基督城，芝加哥，特拉维夫以及多伦多。 由“世界自然基金会”发起的“地球一小时”活动计划于当地时间3月29日晚八点准时开始。他表示，希望这一理念能越过国界，影响更多的国家。【T2】 他说：“现在这个活动的影响已经大了很多。”“其实每个人都能做到这件事，无论你在法国的一个小乡村还是在像悉尼这样的大城市。” 瑞德里说，悉尼的“熄灯一一小时”活动在节能减排的同时，提高了人们对全球变暖问题的关注意识。活动当天，悉尼市民被要求关闭电灯和电器一小时。 他说：“我知道，大家以为当晚的活动可能会节约5％的能源，但实际上我们节约了10．1％的能源。” 【T3】 他表示，他希望“地球一小时”活动能向政界人士传递一个“具有很强冲击力的视觉信息”，让他们意识到治理气候变化刻不容缓。

问答题Being a good parent is harder now than it has ever been before. In pressurized modern lives, demands to be a fulfilled individual, and a good partner and a good worker, take no account of being a good parent. We haven't left space for the nurturing parents who expect to provide and children need. As a result, many families in the western world just don't work.

问答题As Apple prepares to report what (analysts project) may be the company"s first year-over-year quarterly earnings decline in a decade on Tuesday, it is also grappling with jittery investors and a recent share-price plunge that has wiped about $280 billion off its market capitalization since its stock reached a high of $702.10 last September. 1 Much of the investor nervousness is rooted in how Wall Street is treating and valuing the Cupertino, Calif., company as a traditional hardware maker. One camp of analysts and some investors said there is strong evidence that Apple should be viewed in a different light: as a software-hardware hybrid. The distinction matters. If it continues to be seen as a hardware business, Apple"s streak—driven by products like the iPhone and iPad—could run out quickly as smartphones and tablets get commoditized and consumer tastes change. 2 It is a lesson learned by companies like BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion Ltd., whose tech hardware was quickly eclipsed by products from Apple itself. If Apple is classified as a software-hardware hybrid, the company could be valued more like Internet and software makers that have recurring revenue streams and that often trade at higher price-to-earnings ratios than hardware firms. "The market views Apple as a consumer hardware company tied to product cycles that drive volatile revenue and earnings streams," says Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty. 3 But that view isn"t complete, she sags, since "Apple customers bug into a brand that offers ease of use similar to companies like Amazon.com or enterprise companies like NetApp." An Apple spokesman declined to comment ahead of Tuesday"s earning report. With Wall Street categorizing Apple as a hardware maker, investors value the company—which made an astounding $13 billion in profits in the quarter ended in December—at 8.6 times expected earnings per share for the next 12 months. Investors are currently valuing Hewlett-Packard Co., which made $1.2 billion in profits during its most recent quarter, at a price-to-earnings ratio of 5.6. Troubled PC maker Dell Inc., whose stock price inflated after signing a buyout deal earlier this year, trades at a P/E ratio of 8.5. Apple"s gross margins are around 40%, an important-measure of the company"s efficiency at making money. That is roughly twice as high as H-P"s and Dell"s. Apple has characteristics that differ from many other hardware businesses. 4 Its customers often upgrade their Apple products annually, far more frequently than the four-gear PC upgrade cycles typically found at tech hardware businesses including Hewlett-Packard or Dell. While H-P and Dell have tried beefing up the enterprise software side of their business, Apple"s operating system and iTunes software is already ubiquitous. 5 Apple also has more than 500 million accounts for its App Store tied to credit cards—and a customer base to sell new services to—giving it a recurring software and services revenue stream. Apple took in revenue of $3.7 billion from iTunes and other software and services in its last quarter, or 7% of its total revenue.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Many a myth has grown up around the brain's asymmetry(不对称现象). 71. {{U}}The left cerebral hemisphere is supposed to be the coldly logical, verbal and dominant half of the brain, while the right developed a reputation as the imaginative side, emotional, spatially aware but suppressed. Two personalities in one head. Yin and Yang, hero and villain.{{/U}} To most neuroscientists, of course, these notions are seen as simplistic at best and nonsense at worst. So there was general satisfaction when a couple of years ago, a simple brain scanner test appeared to reveal the true story about one of neurology's greatest puzzles: Exactly what is the difference between the two sides of the human brain? Some clinical neurologists had been pursuing the idea that the difference between the two hemispheres lay in their style of working. The left-brain, they reckoned, focused on detail. This would make it the natural home for all those mental skills that need us to act in a series of discrete steps or fix on a particular fragment of what we perceive--skills such as recognizing a friend's face in a crowd or "lining up" words to make a sentence. By contrast, the right brain concentrated on the broad, background picture. The researchers believed it had a panoramic focus that made it good at seeing general connections; this hemisphere was best able to represent metaphorical aspects of speech. For example, in a test in which split-brain patients had to match a series of household objects, the left brain would match by function while the right would match by appearance. So, when seeing a cake on a plate, the left brain would connect to a picture of a fork and spoon while the right brain would select a picture of a broad-brimmed hat. 72. {{U}}This evidence appeared to support the idea of a highly modular brain in which, for example, thinking in logical categories was a strictly left hemisphere function while mental imagery and spatial awareness were handled on the right.{{/U}} But this picture changed dramatically as soon as brain-scanning experiments began to show that both sides of the brain played an active role in such processes. 73. {{U}}Rather it seemed to be the processing styles that distinguished the two halves--under the scanner, language turned out to be represented on both sides of the brain in matching areas of the cortex (皮质). Areas on the left dealt with the core aspects of speech such as grammar and word production while aspects such as intonation and emphasis lit up the right side.{{/U}} In the same way, the right brain proved to be good at working with a general sense of space, while equivalent areas in the left-brain fired when someone thought about objects as particular locations.

问答题Directions: In this part there is an essay in Chinese. Read it carefully, and then write summary of 200 words in English on the ANSWER SHEET. Make sure that your summary covers the major points of the passage. 社区家庭卫生保健合同服务的持续发展探讨 家庭保健合同是促进居民健康的有效形式。上海市自1997年建立社区卫生服务站，在社区推广与实行家庭保健合同形式，把单一的医疗职能转向医疗、预防、保健、康复等全方位的家庭卫生保健服务。从社区卫生服务模式来看，家庭卫生保健合同是一种重要服务形式，它把社区卫生服务内容有机地结合在一起，深入到居民家庭，加强与促进了社区居民的生命质量提高，如儿童、妇女保健，常见病的治疗，生活失能的康复指导，慢性病的控制指导，老年人保健指导，更重要的是医生深入家庭与居民建立了良好的医患关系。 我们调查了13个区125家社区卫生服务站，只有8个区30家服务站提供了家庭保健合同服务，建卡户数2323个家庭，建卡率为1.2%。 参加家庭保健合同的家庭只占1.2%，主要是人们对家庭保健合同对居民健康作用认识不够，这需要政策上扶持，加大宣传普及力度，使人们对家庭保健合同有新认识。目前家庭保健合同是个人支付费用，从道理上讲，家庭请医生入户是个体保健行为，但从疾病预防、控制及干预措施看又是政府行为，属于临床预防服务，这种服务从长远利益看，由于有效地控制了疾病的发生或严重程度，也节约了相当可观的医疗费用，减轻了国家与个人的经济负担，目前医疗保健只承担临床医疗费用，从利益分配合理性出发，医疗保险需承担参保人的临床预防服务费用，建议：①政府向社区卫生服务站的家庭保健合同形式服务提供一定数额的经费(比例为20%)。②医保局对参加医疗保健家庭提供家庭保健合同服务的临床预防性费用(比例为20%)。③参加家庭保健合同服务的家庭成员提高了自身保健认识，减少了疾病风险，减轻了日后家庭疾病经济负担，需支付主要家庭保健合同费用(比例60%)。④卫生行政部门对社区服务站建立的家庭合同服务内容，家庭成员健康状况，家庭成员掌握的有关卫生知识定期进行了解、调查与统计，并考核医院及医生所具有的个体预防服务能力及重视程度。对综合考核通过医疗单位可得到政府经济补贴、参保家庭可得到医疗保险经济补贴或通过加收临床预防服务费来实现。 总而言之，家庭保健合同服务形式在社区实施是新生事物，需要人们逐渐认可，但政府要从宏观上积极扶持，政策配套，使家庭保健合同服务在社区居民家庭中生根。

问答题从二十世纪中叶起，各国政府对科学技术的重视引起了各级教育机构的响应，理论科学和应用科学的巨大进步也激起了人们学习自然科学的兴趣，科学技术因此而有了飞速的发展。但与此同时，人们忽视厂对人文科学和社会科学的学习，公民对道德观念和社会准则在生活中的意义缺乏认识。这在一定程度上导致了以下后果：地方、民族和国际间的暴力冲突层出不穷，环境污染日益严重，这些都给人类生活带来了危险。因此，在教育中应纠正重理轻文的倾向，在生活中恢复人文主义的价值，以求物质文明和精神文明的平衡发展。

问答题Research reports are considered formal professi6nal communication. As such, there is little emphasis on a lively style, although, of course, there is no objection to writing that is pleasing and interesting. The primary goals of professional communication are accuracy, clarity, and completeness. The rough draft of any research report should be edited to ensure that all data is correctly presented, that all equipment is listed, that all results are properly detailed. As an aid to the reader, headings indicating at least the major sections of the report should be used, and all data should be presented under proper headings. In addition to their function of suggesting to the reader the contents of each section, headings enhance the formal appearance and professional quality of the report, increase to some degree the writer's credibility by reflecting a logical and methodical approach to the reporting process, and eliminate the need for wordy transitional devices between sections. Research data should be presented in a way that places proper emphasis on major aspects of the project. For different readers different aspects will take on different degrees of importance, and some consideration should be given to structuring research reports differently for different audiences. Management, for example, will be most concerned with the results of a research project, and thus the results section should be emphasized, probably by presenting it immediately after the problem section and before the procedures section. Other researchers would be most interested in the procedure section, and this should be highlighted in writing up research projects for publication in professional journals or for presentation at professional conferences. For non-technical readers and federal agencies, the implications of the results might be the most important consideration, and emphasis should be placed on the discussion of the report for this readership.
