问答题What today's global market economy teaches many of us who are involved in political life is that even when they are inconvenient, the laws of economies, like the laws of physics, cannot be repealed for the convenience of governments. The economic principles for national success are as difficult to implement as they are easy to state. There is a paradox in all our countries. Just as a new global economy creates more to look forward to than ever before, it also brings more uncertainty and more change to worry about than ever before. That is why the challenge of crafting economy policy in your country as in mine is one of balance. A balance between moving toward necessary objectives and maintaining stability. A balance between responding to global realities and upholding domestic traditions. And a balance between the virtues of competition as the best known motivator and driver of success, and the importance of cohesion and cooperation as sources of strength for our societies. These balances will have to be struck and calibrated every year in every country in this new global economy. If one looks at the success over the long term of the economy in any developed country, more than any scientific innovation, what has been important is a potent social innovation. This is what one might call the intangible infrastructure of a modern market economy.

问答题 My Story about Love and Loss I was lucky—I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling-out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down—that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me— I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it Don't settle.

问答题France today is no superpower, but French influence in some spheres significant. Nothing has cemented French influence in the world like the decision made by the victorious World War Ⅱ powers in 1945 to include France as one of the five permanent, veto-wielding members of the Security Council. Until the end of the Cold War, France rarely found itself in disagreement with or the U.S. on major issues. But the U.N. veto today takes on larger significance as France struggles to decide whether it wants to lead the European Union in defiance of American power or in partnership with it. As America's great media outlets have begun preparing for coverage of the D-Day celebrations, the question of a "grand gesture" by the French toward the American war in Iraq has been raised. Administration officials hint that, perhaps, just perhaps, the French President will use the occasion of France's rescue as an opportunity to square the accounts-to issue a blanket endorsement of America's plan for Iraq's future and throw its support behind the transfer of power looming at the end of the month. France certainly wants the United States to be successful in Iraq at this point. But France seems unlikely to see D-Day as an opportunity to make good on a 60-year-old debt. Beyond nice speeches and some truly fine cuisine, don't expect France to liberate America from Iraq.

问答题1.Passage 1

问答题 世界无烟日 有人作过这样的预言：如果地球上有一天断了烟，天下可能会大乱。此话可能是危言耸听，但是烟害的严重性是不能低估的。 抽烟之危害，可谓大矣，而且是全球性的。目前全球约有13亿烟民，其中的6.5亿人会因吸烟早逝。在中国，抽烟者多达亿万。瘾君子们说，一天饭不吃可以，一个时辰不抽烟就难捱了。吸烟污染空气，损害健康，使肺癌发病率大大增加。 为了使世界各国人民关注烟草的盛行及预防吸烟导致的疾病和死亡，世界卫生组织成员国在1987创立了“世界无烟日”。现在，每年的5月31日被定为“世界无烟日”。吸烟有害已家喻户晓，禁止吸烟的公共场所也日益增多。社会舆论长时期开展的有针对性的宣传，以及随之而创造的一些有效的戒烟方法的推广，产生了积极效果，不少人向香烟吻别。瘾君子从戒烟中吃尽了苦头，也尝到甜头。戒烟贵在坚持，坚持下去就是收获。 但是，戒烟者终究还是少数，主要是中年以上、患疾病的人和知识分子。最令人担忧的是青年人吸烟，染上抽烟坏习惯的青年人日益增多。有关统计表明，全球13岁至15岁年龄段少年的吸烟率已达20%。 烟瘾难戒，但并非不能戒。如果占全球三分之一的我国烟民能够在今天——世界无烟日——开始抵挡住香烟的诱惑，为了自己的健康和周围亲朋好友的健康一天不吸烟，乃至尽早戒烟，那将会创造出不可估量的效益!

问答题当前，世界更加看好中国，不少外国人羡慕中国人的好日子。诸多欧美学者认为，西方骄傲自大的“中心主义”蒙蔽了其心智，面对中国的成功，西方应及时反思和学习。在别人认同“中国经济前景光明论”时，我们自己不能唱衰自己，误判断世界发展大势和我国处境，低估自身发展潜力，妄自菲薄，丧失信心。 当然，我们也要有忧患意识，居安思危，要看到各种风险和挑战，不能高枕无忧、无所作为。多数机遇都不是不争自来的，机遇需要我们自己去创造和把握。只要我们继续走自己的路，谦虚谨慎，开拓进取，攻坚克难，不断加强和发展自身的优势，我们的日子就会越过越好。

问答题______

问答题在各国相互联接更为紧密的全球化时代，世界真正需要的不是单枪匹马的英雄，而是同舟共济的合作伙伴。正因为如此，中国积极致力于同各国发展和深化伙伴关系，我们的“朋友圈”不断扩大。中国积极推动构建新型伙伴关系，具有深厚的历史文化渊源，也是顺应世界发展潮流的创新之举。中华文化主张“合则强，孤则弱”，推崇“一个好汉三个帮”、“众人拾柴火焰高”的互助精神，这是我们构建伙伴关系的文化根基。当前，求和平、谋发展、促合作、图共赢成为不可阻挡的时代潮流。大国制衡、零和博弈等旧思维已难以为继，各国需要探寻国与国交往的新路径。

问答题Questions 1～3 Toward the end of every calendar year, Ian Robertson puts his small arsenal of expensive fountain pens into overdrive. That"s when Rolls-Royce Motor Cars sends a yearbook to customers who have purchased a Rolls since Jan. 1,2003, when production began under the German automaker BMW. As head of Rolls-Royce, Robertson personally signs each book"s accompanying cover letter. The bespoke touch is appreciated by the company"s superrich clientele—which numbered 2,800 when Robertson performed the task last year. "With that many customers," he says, "I could just about do it. " This year Robertson may need an autopen. The iconic British car company is expecting already rising sales to soar, relatively speaking. This is, after all, a company whose ambition is to sell a mere 1,000 cars a year. That"s a goal within reach, thanks to upcoming expansions of the product line, increasing numbers of extremely rich potential buyers and fast-growing Asian markets. Last year Rolls sold 805 Phantoms, its main model, slightly more than the previous year. Revenues were also up—the company won"t say by how much—largely because of the newly introduced extended- wheelbase Phantom, which has a base price of $403,000, or $ 63,000 more than the standard version. Garel Rhys, emeritus professor of automotive economics at Cardiff Business School in Wales, applauds the company"s performance since its acquisition by BMW: "You couldn"t expect much better." In July, it rolled out the Drophead Coupe, a two-door convertible Phantom starting at $ 407,000. Overall, Robertson predicts, the firm should enjoy double-digit sales growth this year. The company began life in 1904, when Charles Rolls, an aristocratic automobile aficionado and dealership owner, joined forces with fledgling carmaker Henry Royce. Then and now, the company"s cars were big, powerful, stately and silent. In 1931, Roils acquired the more sporty, slightly less expensive rival Bentley. When Roll—which also made aircraft engines—went bust in 1971, the auto and aerospace units became separate companies. After a variety of owners, BMW took over. It now builds the cars at a plant in Sussex, England, operating one line and one shift that turns out four or five hand-built cars a day. The 550 employees include craftsmen—skilled cabinet—and saddle makers, for example. Most Rolls are made to order; on average, customers pay $ 20,000 to have their car customized. The company is adding a second line next year and a second shift in 2009 to handle (at the same careful pace) both the Drophead and other planned new cars. For its first Rolls, BMW opted to resurrect the Phantom—a big sedan limousine that all but begs to be chauffeur-driven. That meant targeting the very rich, whose legions are growing fast. Rolls wants to increase its market share while still remaining at the price pinnacle. Next year it"s introducing a hardtop coupe version of the Phantom and launching a smaller, as-yet-unnamed sedan. So who is willing to pay a small ransom to own a Roller? Buyers tend to be entrepreneurs, show-business celebrities or sports stars; few are corporate executives. One factor working for Rolls in developing economies: showing off one"s megabucks is culturally acceptable in China. That helps explain why China is now Rolls" third largest and fastest-growing market, accounting for 10% of sales. (The U.S. still accounts for 45%.) It was a Beijing property developer who last year paid a record $ 2.3 million for a superstretch Phantom. BMW will certainly be happy to see Rolls generating profits, given the $1.2 billion Rhys estimates it put into the company. Rolls won"t budge Beemer"s bottom line, given the parent Company"s $ 65 billion in sales. But owning Rolls-Royce gives BMW prestige and bragging rights. It proves it can sell cars that sweep the breadth of the market, from budget to budget-busting. Should the world"s economy sputter and car sales drop off a cliff, "Rolls-Royce would probably be the first thing to go," Rhys says. But for now, like that iconic spirit of ecstasy that makes up its hood ornament, Rolls-Royce looks poised to speed ahead.

问答题Bringing the World Cup to Asia was supposed to expand the reach of the global game in a happy confluence of good will and good business. The action on the pitch has certainly been dramatic, and most fans were thrilled. But less than half way through the month-long tournament, the good will is already wearing thin-and business seems relatively slow, with fewer visitors and Cup-related sales than expected. Deeply embarrassed by the image of part-empty stadiums besieged by angry ticket hunters, Japanese prime minister ordered an official investigation into the ticket fiasco. Claiming losses of more than ＄800,000 per game, Korea"s soccer federation even threatened to sue Byrom, the official ticket agent, for failing to print and deliver tickets on time. Japan and Korea both hoped to score big points-at home and abroad-with the World Cup. Perhaps it was the memories of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 1988 Seoul Olympics, which were considered turning points in their nations" development. Mired in a decade-long slump, Japan longs for anything that might shock its economy back to life. Korea, meanwhile, hopes the Cup will steady its halting recovery from the 1997 Asian financial crisis-and help brand it as Asia"s most wired nation. Their plan: inject billions of dollars into new facilities, welcome throngs of tourists and for one glorious month showcase their countries to the biggest television audience in world history.

问答题Misinterpretation in Cross-cultural Communication In cross-cultural communication the danger of misinterpretation is greatest among people who speak different native tongues or come from different cultural backgrounds, because cultural difference necessarily implies different assumptions about natural and obvious ways to be polite. Anthropologist Thomas Kochman gives the example of a white office worker who appeared with a bandaged arm and felt rejected because her black fellow worker didn"t mention it. The doubly wounded worker assumed that her silent colleague didn"t notice or didn"t care. But the co-worker was purposely not calling attention to something her colleague might not want to talk about. She let her decide whether or not to mention it, being considerate by not imposing. Kochman says, based on his research, that these differences reflect recognizable black and white styles. An American woman visiting England was repeatedly offended when the British ignored her in a setting in which she thought they should pay attention. For example, she was sitting at a booth in a railway—station cafeteria. A couple began to settle into the opposite seat in the same booth. They unloaded their luggage; they laid their coats on the seat; he asked what she would like to eat and went off to get it; she slid into the booth facing the American. And throughout all this, they showed no sign of having noticed that someone was already sitting in the booth. When the British woman lit up a cigarette, the American began ostentatiously looking around for another table to move to. Of course there was none; that"s why the British couple had sat in her booth in the first place. The smoker immediately crushed out her cigarette and apologized. This showed that she had noticed that someone else was sitting in the booth, and that she was not inclined to disturb her. To the American, politeness requires talk between strangers forced to share a booth in a cafeteria, if only a fleeting "Do you mind if I sit down?" or a conventional "is anyone sitting here?" even if it"s obvious no one is. The omission of such talk seemed to her like dreadful rudeness. The American couldn"t see that another system of politeness was at work. By not acknowledging her presence, the British couple freed her from the obligation to acknowledge theirs. The American expected a show of involvement; they were being polite by not imposing. An American man who had lived for years in Japan explained a similar politeness ethic. He lived, as many Japanese do, in extremely close quarters—a tiny room separated from neighboring rooms by paper-thin walls. In order to preserve privacy in this most unprivate situation, his Japanese neighbor with the door open, they steadfastly glued their gaze ahead as if they were alone in a desert. The American confessed to feeling what I believe most Americans would feel if a next-door neighbor passed within a few feet without acknowledging their presence—snubbed. But he realized that the intention was not rudeness by omitting to show involvement, but politeness by not imposing.

问答题I agree to some extent with my imaginary English reader. American literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for uniqueness. They do over-phrase their own literature, or certainly its minor figures. And Americans do swing from aggressive overphrase of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative deference. But then, the English themselves are somewhat insular in their literary appraisals. Moreover, in fields where they are not pre-eminent--e, g. in painting and music—they too alternate between boasting of native products and copying those of the Continent. How many English paintings try to look as though they were done in Paris; how many times have we read in articles that they really represent an "English tradition" after all.

问答题Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 5 sentences in English. You will hear the sentences ONLY ONCE. After you have heard each sentence, translate it into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.

问答题Asians see the United States losing its undisputed international influence in 50 years to possibly China amid waning trust in Washington to act responsibly in the world, a poll showed. The study is carried out by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs (CCGA), an independent US think tank. In the immediate term, US power in the eyes of Asians remains secure. In haft a century, however, a majority in all countries covered by the poll—China, India, South Korea and the United States—believed "another nation" will become as powerful or surpass the United States in power. China has become a global manufacturing power and is already displacing the United States as the primary trading partner for many nations. China has also amassed the world"s largest trade surplus and world"s largest foreign exchange reserves.

问答题和平与发展是时代的主题 和平与发展是时代的主题。世界各国人民应携手合作，继续推进人类和平与发展的崇高事业。 和平的环境，是一个国家、一个地区以至全球发展的重要前提。没有和平，没有稳定的政治局面，就谈不上经济发展。历史和现实都充分说明了这一点。 当今世界，国际局势总体上趋向缓和，但各种因素引发的冲突甚至局部战争此起彼伏，一些地区的紧张态势依然存在，妨碍了有关国家和地区的经济发展，也对世界经济产生了不利影响。一切负责任的政治家和政府，都应该遵守《联合国宪章》的宗旨和公认的国际关系基本准则，为实现普遍、持久、全面的和平而努力，而不能违背各国人民的利益去人为地挑起紧张态势，甚至制造武力冲突。 在这个世界上仍旧有少数利益集团，总想通过在这样那样的地方制造紧张态势来谋利，这是违背大多数人民的意志和时代潮流的。而且，只有不断推进和平与发展的事业，各国人民安居乐业，集中精力发展经济，创新科技，才能创造巨大的市场需求和促进经济繁荣。 我希望，在座各位，以及一切爱好和平的人们携起手来，为共同促进世界的持久和平和各国各地区的普遍发展与繁荣而努力!

问答题American mythology loves nothing more than the reluctant hero: the man—it is usually a man—whose natural talents have destined him for more than obliging obscurity. George Washington, we are told, was a leader who would have preferred to have been a farmer. Thomas Jefferson, a writer. Martin Luther King, Jr., a preacher. These men were roused from lives of perfunctory achievement, our legends have it, not because they chose their own exception alism, but because we, the people, chose it for them. We—seeing greatness in them that they were too humble to observe themselves—conferred on them uncommon paths. Historical circumstance became its own call of duty, and the logic of democracy proved itself through the answer. Neil Armstrong was a hero of this stripe: constitutionally humble, circumstantially noble. Nearly every obituary written for him has made a point of emphasizing his sense of privacy, his sense of humility, his sense of the ironic ordinary. And yet every aspect of Armstrong"s life made clear: On that day in 1969, he acted on our behalf, out of a sense of mission that was communal rather than personal. The reluctant hero is also the self-sacrificing hero.
