Practice 3  On his 10-day trip to Asia this week, President George W. Bush is likely to get a polite reception for his ambitious agenda. He wants to rally allies to the war on terror, the confrontation with North Korea and the expansion of transpacific trade. He’ll be asking Japan and China to allow their currencies to get stronger, so they will find it cheaper to buy more goods from struggling US manufacturers. Neither the Japanese nor the Chinese will say no outright, but they won’t say yes, either. Below the polite ambiguities, something disturbing is happening, at least from an American viewpoint.  For all its military power, political clout and economic might, America could be losing its influence in what is arguably the most dynamic region of the world. Big changes are happening in Asia, for which America’s policies are increasingly out of step. Washington’s preoccupations—-the mess in Iraq, the jobless recovery and the escalating fiscal deficit at home—are not Asia’s preoccupations. When Bush looks into the future, he sees an American Century with a troubled story line dominated by the fight against terror. When Asians look into the future, they see an Asian Century dominated by rising prosperity and the emergence of China, with terror a minor subplot.

1.BOpen Letter to an EditorI had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.60. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.

    G8 Summit

    Leaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations(G8)will meet in Scotland in July this year. Representatives from China,India,Mexico,South Africa and Brazil have also been invited.Here's what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.
    British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world's poorest' countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2010.He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers and removing restrictions on African exports.This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests.On climate change,Blair wants concerted(共同的)action by reducing carbon emissions(排放).
    US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption.Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit,according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol(《京都议定书》).Although the US is the world's biggest polluter,Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.
    French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change.He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.
    German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair's Africa proposals.Schroder's officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa's problems as"old thinking".Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they've solved the corruption problem.
    Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage.Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard(跳板)next year to propose aid to the former Soviet republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Moldova.
    Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council, for which he will be lobbying(游说)at the summit. And he's concerned about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear weapons programme.

    The G8 countries include China,India,Mexico,South Africa and Brazil.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第一段提到:" Leaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations(G8)will meet in Scotland in July this year.Representatives from China , India , Mexico , South Africa and Brazil have also been invited.”文章先说八大主要工业化国家的首脑参加,然后说中国、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西这些国家也派代表参加,因此后者不属于八大主要工业化国家,与本题信息“八大主要工业化国家包括······”相反。
    本题给出的信息是正确的。文章第二段末尾提到:" Blair wants concerted action by reducing carbon emissions.”这说明布莱尔希望共同行动减少碳排放,与本题信息一致。
    本题给出的信息在文章中没有提及。文章只在第一段提到八大主要工业化国家的首脑参加,然后说中国、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西这些国家也派代表参加,至于本题信息“印度接受邀请参加八国峰会”就不得而知了。
    本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第三段开头提到:" US President George w.Bush agrees to give help to Africa.But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to coun-- tnes as it will increase corruption.”这说明虽然布什同意给予非洲帮助,但不同意提高援助,与本题信息“布什同意提高对非洲的援助”相反。
    本题给出的信息是正确的。文章第四段提到:" French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change.”这说明希拉克在非洲和气候变化问题上支持布莱尔。本题信息“...takes a stand similar to...”的意思为“支持”。
    本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第三段中间提到:" The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol.”与本题信息“布什将在峰会上签署《京都议定书》”相反。
    本题给出的信息在文章中没有提及。文章最后一段提到日本首相小泉纯一郎优先考虑的是在联合国安全理事会上的一个席位,而且他也关心有关朝鲜民主主义人民共和国的核武器计划。而本题信息“日本将反对布莱尔增加对非洲援助的建议”根本没有提及。

    A Pay Rise or Not?
    “Unless I get a rise.I'11 have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,”George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city about 50 miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.
    George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town .He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.
    Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The corn-pany was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all .Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises(加工资)for his workers. Somehow ,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.
    His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him.Manley rubbed his forehead (前额);his problems seemed endless.

    George Strong was the best engineer in Henry Manley's company.
    A: Right

    题目说的是:George Strong接受在伯明翰的那份工作的话,他将不得不把他的家留在Wyeford。第二段是这么说的:……如果他接受在伯明翰的那份工作,他将不得不把他的家搬到那里。

    题目说的是:Henry Manley的公司获得的利润足以给工人增加工资。第三段的倒数第四句是这么说的:……没有钱给他的工人加工资。
    题目说的是:Henry Manley压根儿不知道George Strong为什么要见他。最后一段的第三句是这么说的:他能猜到George Strong找他的原因。
    题目说的是:George Strong是Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。最后一段是这么说的:George Strong是一个很年轻的工程师。公司除非把像他这样的人留住,否则是没有前途的。这些信息不足以推出“他是一个Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。”

    Practice 2  President Bill Clinton's My Wife shows US the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House—a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life:in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement;at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates;back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor.  We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, all unfaltering commitment to civil rights, and an exceptional Understanding of the practicalities of political life.  We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youth—born after his Father's death;caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, whom he never ceased to love and whose name he took;drawn to the brilliant, compelling Hillary Rodham, whom he was determined to marry;passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, Chelsea, and to the entire。Experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pain led him at times into damaging patterns of behavior.

    克林顿总统的《我的生活》一书揭示的是一个出类拔萃的美国人的成长历程,他通过自己的巨大能力和努力,走完了从阿肯色州荷普市通往白宫的这一看起来不大可能完成的历程。在此历程中,他对政治仕途充满了激情,这在他人生的每一个阶段都显露无遗:上大学时,他作为实习生为威廉·富布赖特参议员工作;在牛津大学,他参加了反对越战的抗议运动;在耶鲁大学法学院,他在基层为民主党总统候选人助选;毕业后回到阿肯色州,他先后竞选国会议员、州检察长和州长。
    我们看到他的政治生涯的形成靠的是他为改善同胞生活的坚定不移的决心,致力于民权的毫不动摇的意志,以及对政治生活实际状况不同凡响的解读。
    我们了解到他青少年时代在感情上所承受的压力:他是一个遗腹子;童年时代饱受家庭失和之苦:母亲脾气暴躁,但对他关爱备至,而继父动辄恶语相加,但他一直爱着他的继父且随了继父的姓氏;他被聪明绝顶、令人心仪的希拉里·罗德汉姆所吸引,决心要娶她为妻;他对他俩的女儿切尔西从小到大始终充满了父爱;他开始慢慢地、痛苦地意识到他早年拒不承认所受的痛苦有时导致他做出有损人格的错事。

It helps him in clarifying his wants, in constructing his ends and in finding means for realizing them. There exist, in other words, values as well as known facts and principles, and philosophy is concerned primarily with values—with the ends for the sake of which man acts. Given the most extensive and accurate system of knowledge, man is still confronted with the question of what he is going to do about it and what he is going to do with the knowledge in his possession.

    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第一段提到:" Leaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations(G8)will meet in Scotland in July this year.Representatives from China , India , Mexico , South Africa and Brazil have also been invited.”文章先说八大主要工业化国家的首脑参加,然后说中国、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西这些国家也派代表参加,因此后者不属于八大主要工业化国家,与本题信息“八大主要工业化国家包括······”相反。
    本题给出的信息是正确的。文章第二段末尾提到:" Blair wants concerted action by reducing carbon emissions.”这说明布莱尔希望共同行动减少碳排放,与本题信息一致。
    本题给出的信息在文章中没有提及。文章只在第一段提到八大主要工业化国家的首脑参加,然后说中国、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西这些国家也派代表参加,至于本题信息“印度接受邀请参加八国峰会”就不得而知了。
    本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第三段开头提到:" US President George w.Bush agrees to give help to Africa.But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to coun-- tnes as it will increase corruption.”这说明虽然布什同意给予非洲帮助,但不同意提高援助,与本题信息“布什同意提高对非洲的援助”相反。
    本题给出的信息是正确的。文章第四段提到:" French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change.”这说明希拉克在非洲和气候变化问题上支持布莱尔。本题信息“...takes a stand similar to...”的意思为“支持”。
    本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第三段中间提到:" The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol.”与本题信息“布什将在峰会上签署《京都议定书》”相反。
    本题给出的信息在文章中没有提及。文章最后一段提到日本首相小泉纯一郎优先考虑的是在联合国安全理事会上的一个席位,而且他也关心有关朝鲜民主主义人民共和国的核武器计划。而本题信息“日本将反对布莱尔增加对非洲援助的建议”根本没有提及。

His urge to go is held in check by his desire not be rude        (2)_____to his guest. If he did not care of his guest’s feelings he would      (3)_____simply get up out of his chair and to announce his departure.         (4)_____This is what his body wants to do, therefore his politeness          (5)_____glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him raise. It is at      (6)_____this point that he performs the chair-grasp IntentionMovement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen tohim, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as          (7)_____about to push himself upwards. This is the first act he wouldmake if he were rising. If he were not hesitating, it would          (8)_____only last a fraction of a second. He would lean, push, rise,         (9)_____and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holdshis“readiness-to-rise”post and keeps on holding it. It is as if       (10)_____his body had frozen at the get-ready moment.

    正确答案: 1.can→must 根据上文,可知主人是“必须(must)”而不是“可能(can)”离开。
    2.在 not 后加to
    not to be rude to his guest作定语修饰his desire。
    3.将of→for或about
    care for/about在意,在乎
    4.删除and或to 如果删除to,那么在这里连词and连接两个并列的谓语动词get up out of his chair和announce his departure。如果删除连词and。不定式to announce his departure则作目的状语。
    5.therefore→but 这里两个分句是转折关系,而不是原因与结果的关系。
    6.raise→rise
    raise是及物动词后必须跟宾语,而rise则是不及物动词,作“起立,起身”讲。
    7.在 as about 中间加入if或though
    as if/though后跟不定式,可表示“似乎要做……”之意。
    8.make → do 或 perform
    do/perform an act表示“采取行动”
    9.

    10.post→ posture post作“标志,位置,职位”,而posture作“姿势”讲。

    The father wants to know why his son (question) ____ by the police last week.

    正确答案: was questioned
    解析:
    本题考查被动语态与时态一致。句意:这名父亲想知道为什么他的儿子上周被警察审问。question在这里做动词,意为“询问,审问”。这里是指被警察询问,所以要用被动;后面有时间状语last week,因此应该填过去时的被动语态was questioned。

    问答题
    Practice 2  In his latest book, Lee Kuan Yew fearlessly expresses his ideas, seeking “to be correct, not politically correct.”  Lee also recounts his impressions of nations, leaders and historic events. In acerbic Lee Kuan Yew style, he describes Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, China’s poetry-quoting Jiang Zemin, the late Mao Zedong, the incorruptible Zhu Rongji to the bold reformer Deng Xiaoping (whom he remembers as “a five-footer but a giant among men”).  Among the most interesting parts of the book were Lee Kuan Yew’s references to the Philippines and his sadness that our talented nation could suffer so many socio-political and economic troubles. An anecdote recounts the 1985 official trip to Washington DC where State Secretary George Shultz asked Lee to convince President Ronald Reagan that his old friend Ferdinand Marcos was then the problem of the Philippines, not the solution. During the uprising the following year 1986, when the U.S. government asked Lee’s opinions, he said America should not accept a fraudulent election, and put pressure on Marcos to call new elections.

    正确答案:
    【参考译文】
    在他最近出版的一本书中,李光耀无畏地表达了他的想法,即力争做到“凡事正确,但不是政治上正确”。
    李还在书中讲述了一些国家,一些领导人,一些历史事件给他留下的印象。他以自己独特的方式,描述了撒切尔夫人、里根、喜欢引用诗句的中国国家主席江泽民、已故中共领袖毛泽东、正直廉洁的朱镕基和勇于改革的邓小平(在李光耀的记忆中,尽管“邓只有五英尺高,却是人中之杰”)。
    在李光耀的回忆录中,他提到菲律宾问题,以及他对我们有才能的国家遭受如此多的社会、政治和经济问题的悲伤,这是最令人感兴趣的部分。李光耀叙述他在1985年到华盛顿作正式访问时,当时的美国国务卿舒尔茨(George Shultz)要求他说服里根总统,总统的老朋友马科斯是菲律宾问题的症结所在,而不是解决问题的方案。在1986年的人民起义中,美国政府征求李光耀的意见,李光耀认为美国不应该接受一个出现舞弊的选举,应该向马科斯施加压力以重新进行选举。
