第3题：
B
The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the farming culture of China. In the farming economy (经济), oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁).
Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as "boats on land" for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.
In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities. For example, some people who1ive in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13. They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members. In order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar (农历), and during their run they will take their oxen along, which indicates they regard the creature as human.
Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal. In addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.
60. The words "boats on land" underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to __
A. animals for taking goods B. creatures for pulling plows
C. treasures of the folk culture D. tools in the farming economy

第7题：
Why does the author mention Fuller s The Sea？( )A.To point out a dance of Fuller’s in which music did not play an important role.
B.To explain why Fuller sometimes used music by progressive composers.
C.To ilustrate a particular way in which Fuller developed as an artist.
D.To ilustrate how Fuller’s interest in science was reflected in her work.答案：C解析：细节题。根据题干关键词The Sea定位到文章第五段的第三句。该句将The Sea作为一个作品示例，但例证的观点或主题需要根据段落上下文确定。段落第一句提到“随着专业技能方面的复杂化、成熟化，富勒在舞蹈的其他方面也得到了发展”。段落第二句举出了使用音乐的例子，第三句中The Sea作为舞蹈主题方面的例子出现，由此可见，两个例子都是为了证明富勒在舞蹈其他方面的发展，而这些发展都是富勒自己独特的尝试。C项“说明富勒发展成一个艺术家的特殊方式”与之相符。A项“在富勒的一个舞蹈中，音乐的作用不大”，B项“解释为什么富勒有时会用先进音乐家的音乐”，D项“阐述富勒对科学的兴趣如何在她的作品中反映出来”，均不正确。 -

问答题◆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.解析： 暂无解析 -

单选题Why does the speaker ask us to consider “turning off a light switch”?ATo show that the climate system is sensitive to light.
BTo illustrate the sudden move from one climate state to another.
CTo demonstrate how to operate the light switch.
DTo explain how the operating mode works under increasing pressure.
正确答案： B解析：
录音中明确提到“To help understand this sudden move from one state to another, consider turning off a light switch.”，所以说话者让我们考虑“关灯”是为了帮助我们理解从一种状态到另一种状态的突然转变，所以选B。
【录音原文】
All life on earth ultimately depends on the oceans, which cover 71 percent of the planet. These vast basins of water provide most of the oxygen in our atmosphere, and microscopic plants absorb millions of tons of carbon dioxide each day. This watery region is also home to the coral reefs. Coral reefs are extremely important for biodiversity, it provides habitats to over 25% of all marine life. However, coral bleaching is threatening many of the world’s coral reefs which could be killed within our lifetime. The seas also hold a precious food resource, providing 80 million metric tons of food a year through fishing. People recognize that climate-related variations are playing an important role in deciding the productivity of several fisheries.
Waters are freshening from increased Arctic runoff and rainfall, from melt of Antarctic ice shelves and reduced sea-ice formation. This will slow the thermohaline circulations of the North Atlantic and Southern Oceans and reduce the circulation of deep waters. The thermohaline circulation is sometimes called the global conveyor belt. Unlike the atmosphere, which is characterized by turbulent weather systems, the deep waters are fairly stable. This is because it is heated from above, in contrast to the atmosphere, which is heated from below. However, the Earth’s climate system has sensitive thresholds and pushed past a threshold, the system can jump quickly from one stable operating mode to a completely different one. To help understand this sudden move from one state to another, consider turning off a light switch. The slowly increasing pressure of a finger pushes on the switch until it flips over and immediately plunges the room into darkness. -

第13题：
(b) Describe with suitable calculations how the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Briars will be dealt with in
the group financial statements and how the loan to Briars should be treated in the financial statements of
Briars for the year ended 31 May 2006. (9 marks)
正确答案：(b) IAS21 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ requires goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation
and fair value adjustments to acquired assets and liabilities to be treated as belonging to the foreign operation. They should
be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate at each balance sheet date.
Effectively goodwill is treated as a foreign currency asset which is retranslated at the closing rate. In this case the goodwillarising on the acquisition of Briars would be treated as follows:
At 31 May 2006, the goodwill will be retranslated at 2·5 euros to the dollar to give a figure of $4·4 million. Therefore this
will be the figure for goodwill in the balance sheet and an exchange loss of $1·4 million recorded in equity (translation
reserve). The impairment of goodwill will be expensed in profit or loss to the value of $1·2 million. (The closing rate has been
used to translate the impairment; however, there may be an argument for using the average rate.)
The loan to Briars will effectively be classed as a financial liability measured at amortised cost. It is the default category for
financial liabilities that do not meet the definition of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. For most entities,
most financial liabilities will fall into this category. When a financial liability is recognised initially in the balance sheet, the
liability is measured at fair value. Fair value is the amount for which a liability can be settled, between knowledgeable, willing
parties in an arm’s length transaction. In other words, fair value is an actual or estimated transaction price on the reporting
date for a transaction taking place between unrelated parties that have adequate information about the asset or liability being
measured.
Since fair value is a market transaction price, on initial recognition fair value generally is assumed to equal the amount of
consideration paid or received for the financial asset or financial liability. Accordingly, IAS39 specifies that the best evidence
of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition generally is the transaction price. However for longer-term
receivables or payables that do not pay interest or pay a below-market interest, IAS39 does require measurement initially at
the present value of the cash flows to be received or paid.
Thus in Briars financial statements the following entries will be made:

问答题TaskⅡ (20 marks) Write an article of no fewer than 120 words telling other students how you control stress about your courses.Take My Advice on How to Control Stress You should write the article on the answer sheet.正确答案：
Take My Advice on How to Control Stress As the competition between students increases, more and more students feel stressful about their courses. As far as I’m concerned, we can take the initiative to reduce the stress.
Firstly, make a plan for everyday study. For instance, you keep learning English for two hours every day, and within the two hours, you’ll learn 10 new words and read 2 articles. This way you can learn more than 1000 English words three months later and your reading ability will improve as well. Therefore, you don’t have to stay up late before the English examination. As long as you keep learning every day, you will find you are well prepared for the exams already.
Secondly, do something else to divert your mind before exams. For example, if you can play piano, play your favorite songs for one or two hours and you will feel relaxed.
To conclude, keep learning regularly and cultivate a hobby and you will find yourself relaxed about your courses.解析： 暂无解析 -
