问答题One measure of a robust transportation system is the diversity of travel modes. US cities are dominated by a single mode: the private car. On average, each person in the US cities sampled in 1990 logged 10,870 kilometers (6,750 miles) of city driving more than a round trip across North America. Growth in car use in the US cities between 1980 and 1990 was 2,000 kilometers per person, nearly double the increase in the Canadian cities, which have the next highest driving level. In industrial countries, urban car use has tended to rise as population density has declined. US cities have led the trend toward dispersed, low-density development. Between 1983 and 1990, the average roundtrip commute to work in the United States grew 25%, to 17 kilometers (11 miles). As cities sprawl, cars become essential while transit , bicycling, and walking become less practical. Compact Asian and European cities thus have the highest levels of non-motorized transport. As car use rises, car-related problems mount. Fatal crashes, for example, increase. The exception is cities in developing countries, where low car use is offset by poor signals and safety regulations. Nonetheless, highly car-reliant US cities exceed even developing Asian cities in per capital traffic fatalities. Worldwide, traffic accidents kill some 885,000 people each year—equivalent to 10 fatal jumbo jet crashes per day—and injure many times more.

问答题Directions: You are to write an essay titled "Should People Retire Later?" according to the following situation: Recently the huge deficit in the pension fund in China has aroused great public concern. Research shows that although the legal retirement age in China is 60 for men and 55 for most women, many employees of State-owned enterprises have been allowed to retire in their 40s or 50s to make openings for new graduates and others. Besides, the mandatory retirement age in China is 51.2 years, 10 years younger than that of many countries. Some experts therefore suggest that we raise the mandatory retirement age. What do you think of their suggestion? Requirements: Write an essay of about 400 words to expound clearly your viewpoint on this topic. You need to supply a title for your essay. In the first part of your writing you should present your viewpoint in a well-formulated thesis statement; in the second part, you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details; in the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion with a comment. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, syntactic variety, proper length, and appropriate word choice. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in the loss of marks. Remember to produce a clean fair copy.

问答题Mike and Adam Hurewitz grew up together on Long Island, in the suburbs of New York City. They were very close, even for brothers. So when Adam's liver started failing, Mike offered to give him half of his. The operation saved Adam's life. But Mike, who went into the hospital in seemingly excellent health, developed a complication—perhaps a blood colt—and died last week. He was 57. Mike Hurewitz's death has prompted a lot of soul searching in the transplant community. Was it a tragic fluke or a sign that transplant surgery has reached some kind of ethical limit? The Mount Sinai Medical Center, the New York City hospital where the complex double operation was performed, has put on hold its adult living donor liver transplant program, pending a review of Hurewitz's death. Mount Sinai has performed about 100 such operations in the past three years. A 1-in-100 risk of dying may not seem like bad odds, but there's more to this ethical dilemma than a simple ratio. The first and most sacred rule of medicine is to do no harm. "For a normal healthy person a mortality rate 1% is hard to justify," says Dr. John Fung, chief of transplantation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "If the rate stays at 1%, it's just not going to be accepted." On the other hand, there's an acute shortage of traditional donor organs from people who have died in accidents or suffered fatal heart attacks. If family members fully understand the risks and are willing to proceed, is there any reason to stand in their way? Indeed, a recent survey showed that most people will accept a mortality rate for living organ donors as high as 20%. The odds, thankfully, aren't nearly that bad. For kidney donors, for example, the risk ranges from 1 in 2,500 to 1 in 4,000 for a healthy volunteer. That helps explain why nearly 40% of kidney transplants in the U. S. come from living donors. The operation to transplant a liver, however, is a lot trickier than one to transplant a kidney. Not only is the liver packed with blood vessels, but it also makes lots of proteins that need to be produced in the right ratios for the body to survive. When organs from the recently deceased are used, the surgeon gets to pick which part of the donated liver looks the best and to take as much of it as needed. Assuming all goes well, a healthy liver can grow back whatever portion of the organ is missing, sometimes within a month. A living-donor transplant works particularly well when an adult donates a modest portion of the liver to a child. Usually only the left lobe of the organ is required, leading to a mortality rate for living-donors in the neighborhood of 1 in 500 to 1 in 1, 000. But when the recipient is another adult, as much as 60% of the donor's liver has to be removed. "There really is very little margin for error," says Dr. Fung. By way of analogy, he suggests, think of a tree. "An adult-to-child living-donor transplant is like cutting off a limb. With an adult-to-adult transplant, you're splitting the trunk in half and trying to keep both halves alive. " Even if a potential donor understand and accepts these risks, that doesn't necessarily mean the operation should proceed. All sorts of subtle pressures can be brought to bear on such a decision, says Dr. Mark Siegler, director of the MacLean for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago. "Sometimes the sicker the patient, the greater the pressure and the more willing the donor will be to accept risks. " If you feel you can't say no, is your decision truly voluntary? And if not, is it the medical community's responsibility to save you from your own best intentions? Transplant centers have developed screening programs to ensure that living donors fully understand the nature of their decision. But unexamined, for the most part, is the larger issue of just how much a volunteer should be allowed to sacrifice to save another human being. So far, we seem to be saying some risk is acceptable, although we're still vaguer about where the cutoff should be. There will always be family members like Mike Hurewitz who are heroically prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for a loved one. What the medical profession and society must decide is if it's appropriate to let them do so.

问答题思维与言语及其同一性问题一直是个争论不休的问题。胡塞尔(Husserl)认为有脱离任何表达形式的纯粹思维，德里达(Derrida)对此持批判的态度，维特根斯坦则坚持认为没有脱离言语的思维和思想。这些探讨主要集中于思维与言语表达这个层面，无法推进对思维与言语关系的说明，也无法在它们是否具有同一性的问题上获得共识。梅洛—庞蒂(Merleau-Ponty)表达现象学主张言语表达奠基于原初的身体表达——身体姿势，而语言则是言语的历史沉淀。这些观点对研究思维与言语的关系及其同一性问题具有推动作用，它们蕴含着这样的观点：思维是一种特殊形态的表达——言语表达。同时也对研究聋哑人的思维，说明动物有无思维以及思维和思想的性质具有建设性和启发性的意义。
