Practice 1  Directions: Read the texts from a cyber saloon in which five people talked about Tofu (also known as bean curd), a traditional Chinese and Japanese food. For questions 1 to 5, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) that he or she is most likely to say. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.  Jenise:  I love peas and beans more than most people, so tofu is a natural choice for me. My Chinese friend Annabelle loves them too, and tells me that soy beans contain an ingredient not present “n any other food source, or at least in that concentration, that helps prevent breast cancer. When we share a big bowl of these, we eat with abandon “for medicinal purposes”! I like it plain although there may be many different ways to prepare it and it may cure other diseases.  Lee:  In fact, 1 was probably preprogrammed to like it: as a kid one of my favorite books was Toru and the Tofu (hope I’m remembering the title right), a story about a young Tokyo boy, named Toru, who was given the assignment, his first, of going to the neighborhood tofu maker’s by himself and bringing back some freshly made cubes for dinner. I can still recall Toru’s unique way of getting it home intact (with a jar filled with water). It all seemed very strange to the five-year old me in semi-rural Southern California.  Hoke:  It’s great in spicy Sichuan style soups, especially with fish, but I like it fired quickly to give a crisp exterior whilst retaining a moist, soft interior. Steaming is another option, with a pork and prawn mince (with spring onion) on top of each cube. The thing that I love most is the texture--really good tofu is just amazing in the mouth, poised as it is between solidity and fluidity. I’m definitely a fan.  Nyby:  It’s sort of weird to me. You go in to one of those “Mock Vegetarian” restaurants only to find everything on the menu “mock’--mock chicken, mock beef, mock pork, etc. Now whatever you order, it’s tofu molded into something that looks like that particular meat. I don’t know about you, but if I’m eating a vegetarian I don’t need to go through a fantasy of pretending I’m eating a veal cutlet or a pork chop or a chicken breast. Is this to delude someone, or distract them from thinking they are eating vegetarian food?  Robin:  Precisely because it is so “tasteless”, I eat it like a madman: I like the way it picks up the flavors of the dishes it’s served with. I can enjoy it in lots of different cuisine, in moderate quantities in relation to other ingredients in each dish. If you try them and tell me that you don’t think they have much flavor, I’ll have to disagree because that’s not true of tofu. The flavor’s mild and you can combine that with the hottest spices in the world, which for me illustrates its most endearing attribute. It does a reasonably good job of absorbing a great many flavors.  Now match each of the persons (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.  Note: there are two extra statements.  Statements

    Sino-Japan Animosity(敌意)Lessens

    Chinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a
    survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.
    The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO(非营利性的组织),a Japanese think
    tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both
    countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.
    The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and
    representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs(非政府组织)designed to improve communication and
    understanding between the Iwo countries.
    Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary
    citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from
    well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous
    members of Genron NPO.

    impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese
    students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of

    "important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.
    But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in
    relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and

    year.
    Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the
    survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to Yasukuni
    Shrine(靖国神社),and the Nanjing Massacre(大屠杀).
    Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary
    Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just
    30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for
    Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.

    ◆Topic 4: A Year of Economic Recovery  Questions for Reference:  1. Many economists say that the year 2009 was a year of economic recovery for China. What was the goal of the annual GDP growth rate set by the Chinese Government?  2. This recovery was due to the forcefulness of the Chinese government’s policies. The best-known and most effective measure is the 4-trillion-yuan stimulus plan. The major investment was put in infrastructure construction. Could you explain what infrastructure means? Name and describe one or two instances of infrastructure construction in 2009.  3. The economic recovery in 2009 has also improved the life of ordinary Chinese people. Say something about how you and your family, or your relatives or friends, have benefited from this economic recovery?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    My name is…My registration number is…My topic is: A Year of Economic Recovery.
    Many economists say that the year 2009 was a year of economic recovery for China. Judging from the relevant economic data, we can see clear signals that China’s economic recovery is accelerating and broadening and some of the key indicators beat market expectations successfully, which has helped China win applause from home and abroad. Those people who were once showing much worry and concern over China’s economic development are now changing their mind and feel confident again.
    It is not difficult to figure out how great efforts the government has made to ease the situation and maintain social stability over the past year. Many people insist that this recovery was due to the forcefulness of the Chinese government’s policies. The best-known and most effective measure is the 4-trillion-yuan stimulus plan. It was adopted right after the outbreak of the financial crisis and was soon put into operation. The government also adopted many other pro-growth economic policies such as expanding the “home appliances to the countryside” program. The quick implementation of the stimulus package successfully reversed the downward trend of the economy and the quarterly GDP growth picked up remarkably. A rainbow of recovery shows up after the financial storm. Many people believe that so far, this is the world’s most effective economic stimulus program. And with the effective implementation of all these policies and measures, we can find everywhere that the people’s lives have been gradually improved.
    However, as one economist from the Asian Development Bank said, the Chinese government should get ready to deal with more difficult tasks. It is through the economic stimulus plan that Chinese have managed to overcome the crisis in such a short period of time. However, the more severe challenges could be waiting for them. Thus more efforts should be made to promote the Chinese economy’s sustained growth.

    Practice 1  Directions: Read five students’ talks about traveling around Europe using an Inter-Rail ticket. The ticket allows people under the age of twenty-six to travel wherever they want within Europe for one month. For questions 1 to 5, match the name of each student (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.  Patrlcia:  I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it  worked very well, although a few of them said they’d never do it again--I guess it wasn’t  quite like they thought it was going to be--not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in  hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but I think we had a great time. Next year 1’11 see if I can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out.  Davis:  I traveled about 6,000 kilometers in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, I’d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as I’m normally a bit shy of talking to people I don’t know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific!  Jenise:  Well, I guess I had a good time now” when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on I’ll probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn’t do much for my French and German.  Nigel:  I think it’s definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch-hikes and he says that’s the only way to travel because it’s free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as I could take the night train and save on hotel bills.  Hawk:  I’ve done it quite a few times now and I’m used to the kind of problems that arise-like having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hostel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They’re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don’t understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.  Now match each of the students (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.  Note: there are two extra statements.  Statements

    正确答案: 1.F 第一段文章倒数第二句“We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but I think we had a great time.”写到我们累得筋疲力尽,但是我认为我们也挺开心的。与F项的表述一致。

    3.A 文章第三段主要讲作者对旅行还算满意,但是不想过多地把时间浪费在火车上。第二句“…I’ll probably choose to do something else. ”可知作者大概会选择做一些别的事情。与A项表述一致。

    5.B 最后一段话说很多人选择在旅游景点下火车,而作者则经常会选择去一些小村庄,小村庄很有趣而且人也很友好。所以他看的东西是别人没看到的。这与B项表述一致。

For questions 1 to 5, match the name of each people (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.  Peter:  My favorite childhood play area was the back garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the ‘goals’ would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control, dribble or kick it.  Simon:  The playground was quite small The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walls. It was more like a prison yard--on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly breaking off the bits of glass.  Alan:  I come from an area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first school was Prince’s Street Primary and the room in which I received my first lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that had grass, bushes and flowers. My amazement at seeing these items, which are normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my life.  Nick:  I was strictly forbidden from the obvious playground--a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local schoolchildren. Its charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I grew up, more than in the rest of the little town’s correct and neat suburbia, where my house was.  Julle:  Unitl I was twelve I was brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small playground in the middle of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sitting with my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and swing for hours until someone else came out. I always liked swinging.  Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.  Note: there are two extra statements.  Statements

    Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in the spaces 76-80. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  Headaches are a big problem. But they are not just a problem for the person suffering from the headache. They are a problem for society as well. Each year, millions of people suffer from severe headaches that keep them from doing their jobs. In fact, according to one estimate, headaches cost individuals and businesses more than $50 billion each year! This is one of the reasons research into headaches has become a worldwide effort.  Although he did not know much about how headaches work, Hippocrates was the first doctor to find a way to treat them. Before 400 B.C., Hippocrates discovered that the bark from willow trees was useful in treating pain. He made a white powder from the tree’s bark and gave it to his patients.  Hippocrates did not know it, but he was actually prescribing a natural chemical in willow bark called salicin. When a person eats salicin, the chemical is changed inside her or his body into salicylic acid. It turns out that salicylic acid is good for stopping pain, including headache, but it is bad for a person’s stomach. In the 1800s, a chemist in Germany changed the acid’s form a little to make it easier for people to take. This new form of the chemical was called acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin today.  Aspirin was used throughout most of the 1900s to treat headaches, but doctors had little idea about what really caused headaches. When doctors know the cause of a disease, they can find better ways to treat it. Therefore, as medical technology developed, doctors began to use the technology to learn more about the human brain and about headaches.  Currently, doctors classify headaches into two general types: primary and secondary. A primary headache is a condition suffered as only the headache itself. On the other hand, a secondary headache is one caused by another condition. For example, someone who catches the flu may suffer from headaches along with other symptoms of the illness. Flu headaches are thus secondary headaches.  For primary headaches, doctors have determined three possible causes. One kind of primary headache is caused by stress. Doctors usually call these tension headaches. Such headaches are characteristically felt on both sides of the head as a dull, steady pain.Another kind of primary headache is the migraine headache. Doctors believe these headaches are caused by reduced flow of blood to certain parts of the brain. A migraine sufferer usually feels intense pain on one side of the head. The sufferer also becomes sensitive to light and noise. If the migraine is severe, the sufferer may vomit repeatedly.  The third kind of primary headache is known as the cluster headache. Cluster headaches typically occur around the same time each day for weeks or months at a time. The person suffering from this kind of headache usually feels pain on one side of her or his head, and the pain is centered around one of the person’s eyes. Doctors do not know much at present about cluster headaches, but they seem more common among men and could be related to alcohol or other things that affect a person’s blood flow.  Using computers and more advanced medical equipment, doctors continue to learn more about what happens in the brain before and during headaches. Especially in the case of migraines, some doctors believe they have found the part of the brain that sets off the reaction for severe attacks. With this new insight into brain processes, doctors hope new ways will be discovered for stopping disabling headaches before they begin.  Summary:  Doctors knew a long time ago that the  1 from the willow trees could help people who felt pain. Hippocrates was the first doctor to change organic material into a powder and give it to his patients. But it was not until the 1800s that this natural drug was altered and became known as  2 .

What are the possible solutions to such a problem?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    My name is...My registration number is...My topic is...The Retirement Age for Chinese.
    It has been said that the government is discussing about extending the retirement age of employees. Although the authorities involved have ruled out the possibility of increasing the retirement age for the time being, it has still caused much concern and heated discussion.
    Back in the 1980s, China’s major concern was its huge population, which had to be tackled first. But today, the aging of its population has become a pressing issue. As life expectancy increases with the help of higher social living and healthcare standards, more and more retired people are becoming healthier and still energetic enough to continue their work. For example, a 50-year-old man used to be regarded as aged a few decades ago, while he would more probably be considered a middle-aged person today. On the other hand, people in China retire earlier than in many other countries. In many of the western countries, the retirement age today is usually 65, or even beyond 65. But in China, the average men retire at the age of 60, and women at 55. Moreover, many workers retire earlier than the legal retirement age owning to preferential policies for women and workers in some of the heavy industries. The other thing which is worth our consideration is that the life expectancy of Chinese has been raised for a number of times over the past decades, and in many of the big cities in China, it has already reached 80 or over, so our pension scheme is facing an increasingly heavy pressure. Taking into consideration of the above-mentioned situation and some other factors, many people think that the retirement age for Chinese workers should and can be extended.
    However, adjusting the social security system is a big issue, which has to be done with caution and discretion. The government should encourage a thorough public discussion on the issue and strike the right balance between the pros and cons before making the decision.

    Sino-Japan Animosity(敌意)Lessens

    Chinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a
    survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.
    The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO(非营利性的组织),a Japanese think
    tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both
    countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.
    The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and
    representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs(非政府组织)designed to improve communication and
    understanding between the Iwo countries.
    Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary
    citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from
    well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous
    members of Genron NPO.
    Among ordinary Chinese polled,35.7 percent said they have"very good"or"relatively good"
    impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese
    students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of
    Japanese have a positive impression of China,however.
    Still,an overwhelming majority of the respondents from each country said Sino-Japanese relations were
    "important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.
    But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in
    relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and
    53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed shared the view that there was no improvement in bilateral ties this
    year.
    Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the
    survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to Yasukuni
    Shrine(靖国神社),and the Nanjing Massacre(大屠杀).
    Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary
    Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just
    30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for
    Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.
    Cooperation in East Asia issues,trade and investment,energy,the environment and climate change top
    the list of common concerns that people in China and Japan want their leaders to talk about in bilateral
    meetings,the survey found.
    Civil exchanges were regarded by most people from both countries as an important way to improve
    relations.90. 7 percent of the students and 85.7 percent of the ordinary people in China and 95.8% of
    intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary people in Japan viewed civil exchanges as"important"or"relatively
    important".
    Chinese and Japanese both learn about each other's country mostly through television news and
    newspapers,the survey found.

    In the last year,_______% of ordinary Chinese and_________% of Chinese students had a positive impression of Japan.
    A:35.7;45.2
    B:51.9;42.4.
    C:5.5;26.6
    D:30.2;43.2

    答案:D
    解析:
    从第二段最后一句话可知,中日两国民众普遍认为两国之间的关系很重要。
    第三段明确表示,论坛是为了增进两国之间的沟通和理解。
    第五段中说本年度普通中国人和大学生中对日本印象较好的人所占比例分别为 35.7%和45.2%,分别比上一年度增长5.5个百分点和2个百分点,因此可以计算出去年的普 通中国人和大学生对日本持积极态度的百分比分别为30.2%和43.2%。
    第八段列出了阻碍中日关系正常发展的主要障碍,分别是领土争端和历史问题,后者 包括南京大屠杀和日本领导人参拜靖国神社的行为,贸易摩擦则没有被提及。
    从倒数第二段提供的数据可知,中日两国大多数人认为民间交往是促进两国关系发展 的重要途径。

Practice 1  1 ______ For this reason, there is a current boom in language learning for business people. But unless they can speak a foreign language really well, it is best to save it for socializing.  2 ______ And psychologists say that your body language is much more important than what you say. Doing the wrong thing, making eye contact, touching, using people’s first names, even how you eat and drink—can all be hazardous for people who are unfamiliar with certain cultures.  3 ______ In low context cultures such as North America, Britain, Sweden and Germany, people say things very plainly, and rely on clear verbal communication. High context cultures such as France, Japan, Spain, Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea often use silence or hand signals to communicate, and this can sometimes be as important as speaking.  4 ______ In Japan, people bow to each other. In England, people shake hands firmly, but not very often—while in places like Italy and France people shake hands all the time but not as firmly as the English. The Germans and the Danish nod their heads while they shake hands, as a mark of respect, while people in Mediterranean countries sometimes lean their heads backwards while doing the same thing.  5 ______ For example, the British kiss each other once, on the right cheek, the French kiss each other twice, first on the left cheek and then on the right, but in some cultures, especially in the Middle East, they kiss up to four times and still shake hands![A] But actions speak louder than words.[B] Trying to make people from other cultures feel comfortable can be confusing as well.[C] One of the most important aspects of doing business internationally is being able to speak other languages.[D] Some cultures communicate by using signals.[E] Cultures are divided into “low context” and “high context”.[F] Shaking hands is often the most common form of greeting people, but even this can create problems.[G] As a rule, though, close physical greetings such as kissing are not a good idea.

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Talk about Virtue.
    We must uphold these core virtues including diligence, honesty, justice and responsibility. Traditionally, we Chinese admire the virtue of plain living and hard struggle. The vital importance is also placed on honesty and justice.
    In my eyes, however, responsibility tops our priority. To shoulder some heavy responsibilities, we must keep a style of plain living and hard struggle. Responsibility also means honesty and justice. Everyone must assume a set of responsibilities. For example, we college students must take the responsibility for pursuing the impressive academic performance. But an army of students plant themselves in online games, an activity which compels them to shun huge responsibilities.
    The virtue of responsibility is strongly associated with the “Eight Dos and Don’ts” moral campaign in full swing. Under this slogan, everyone must take on his/her own responsibilities and dedicate to his/her own position. Unquestionably, everyone must promote the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

    Practice 6  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.  Akira Kurosawa’s film masterpiece Rashomon portrays several people who have witnessed a death. As each observer recounts the event as he or she witnessed it, we come to realize that each person’s story varies greatly from every other account. Watching the movie, we reflect the truth of an experience—and perhaps all truth—is different for each person.  Assignment: What is your opinion of the claim that truth is not objective, but rather is determined by each individual? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    The difference between perspective and truth is that perspective originates from an individual. Each person possesses a unique outlook on life, but truth, by definition, must be the same for every individual. The law of gravity cannot be challenged, nor are there any exceptions to it because it applies to everything on Earth. Similarly, our actions cannot, and do not, affect the truth because it exists outside the realm of our control.
    Platonic idealism holds that ideals exist outside the realm of the physical. That is the idea of what an object is (its definition) cannot be found in the human word. For example, if we look at the definition of a ball, it may say that a ball is a spherical object of fully rounded shape, with no angles, that contains radii of entirely equal lengths spanning out from a central point. Yet there are many different types of balls, including basketballs, baseballs, cricket balls, and so on. So even though many objects fit this definition of a ball, the “ideal,” or the truth of what a ball is, only exists in words, not in reality. Hence, we must conclude that an objective understanding of “ball” exists, as every person understands it.
    Events may be objectively understood as well. Though every person may see differently from his own eyes, due to differences in backgrounds and desires, impartial facts are immutable. For example, the Agatha Christie novel, Murder on the Orient Express, is a classic whodunit mystery that requires one detective to sort through twelve suspects in a murder case to find the true killer of a Mr. Ratchett. Detective Poirot is given the task of catching the true killer by sorting through various, sometimes conflicting, alibis and motives. Though he is given twelve different narratives from his suspects, Poirot eventually brilliantly pieces together the objective events to find the truth on who kills Mr. Ratchett. Therefore, regardless of what subjective stories may exist in the world, an objective truth always exists.
    There is a famous saying that says one cannot judge another person until one has walked a mile in that person’s shoes. Human perceptions vary tremendously from person to person, but in order to separate the objective from the subjective, we must step outside the world of opinion, and review facts. What is true cannot be debated; it can only be described by words.

Maguel de Icaza:  Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.  Austin Hill:  Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy-promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.  Ng Ede Phang:  This will be the year that plain old text e-mail sits up and starts talking--and talking a lot. The human voice is powerful weapon. An e-mail doesn’t tell me whether you’re happy, sad or excited, whereas lnternet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e-mail just cannot match.  Murray Goldman:  For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing devices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built-in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.  Christine Karman:  We’ll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don’t have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I’d go to California or Boston.  Now match the name of each person (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.  Note: there are two extra statements.  Statements

    正确答案: 1.F 第一段主要讲的是免费软件。第一段第二句提到免费软件“is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries”,缩小差距就是为了让数字信息平等化,况且选项中只有F提到了免费软件。故选F。
    2.C 整段都在讲隐私,说道“Businesses will protect themselves,and their customers,by introducing privacy-promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation”。这与C项“在信息时代需要保护个人隐私”相一致。故选C。
    3.D 第三段第三句提到“网络音频可以将个人的情感通过网络告诉对方”与D项“声音电子邮件使得网上交流变得人性化”相符。故选D。
    4.E 选项锁定在A、E两项。由第四段意思知道小巧和多功能的电子产品将会成为商业旅行者的首选,因而成为一种潮流。A项“商业旅行者将定位未来计算机市场的潮流”说得过于绝对,而且文中也未提到过。故选E。
    5.G 文中说欧洲的软硬件不行,“the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now,I'd go to California or Boston”,欧洲很难成为硬件和软件的生产地,也就是说欧洲和美国的数码差距很难 缩小,而且差距会进一步扩大。故选G。
