第2题： Text 2 People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are born deaf. They have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communicating—perhaps at a time when learning is not at all that easy.A、hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem. The sound perceived by the deaf person through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by someone with normal hearing.Deafened people have to lipread as well. Lipreading is difficult, demands intense concentration, and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker’s face. No other activities can take place at the same time: the lipreader has to stop eating, stop reading, stop washing up, stop mending, stop everything in order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper—as it sometimes appears to be—but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorteD、Remember what it’s like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line. Frustrating, isn’t it The deaf have to face that all the time. A、useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf person as a foreigner—to treat them as if you were in a foreign country. You would speak more clearly, slowly and raise your voice slightly.And you’d use gestures to make your meaning clear, as well as have no hesitation in using pencil and paper to be absolutely certain. You can do all those things with the deaf—as well as making sure you don’t obscure your mouth with your hand, a pipe or a cigarette. Another point quite often overlooked is that a hearing aid may be quite efficient and useful in a quite carpeted room—but try it in the high street in the rush hour, in a noisy car, in a railway station ticket office, a cinema or a concert hall and you’ve got a really difficult problem to distinguish speech. So don’t suggest to or encourage deaf people to go to functions which are going to make their disability appear worse—and increase their sense of failure. On the other hand careful selection of cinemas with good sound systems is important and you should experiment to find out where the best seats are for hearing, fitting adaptors for radio and television, observing which friends are easier to understand, and making sure that people talking are well-lit and all useful and positive activities. A、person who loses hearing______.A．can hear well with the help of a hearing aid B．can communicate easily with others by lipreading C．can communicate with others by lipreading with the help of a hearing aid D．can only communicate with others with the help of pencil and paper

第3题：Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage convenience food helps companies by creating growth, but what is its effect on people For people who think cooking was the foundation of civilization the microwave is the last enemy The communion of eating together Is easily broken by a device that liberates households citizens from waiting for mealtimes The first great revolution in the history of food is in danger of being undone The companionship of the campfire cooking pot and common table, which have helped to bond humans in collaborative living for at least 150000 year could be destroyed Meals have certainly sated from the rise of convenience fooD、The only meals regularly taken together inBritain these days are at the weekend, among rich families struggling to retain something of the old symbol of togetherness Indeed, the day’s first meal has all but, disappeared, In the 20 st century the leisureBritish breakfast was undermined by the com flake in the 21 st breakfast is vanishing altogether a victim of the quick cup of coffee in Starbucks and the cereal bar Convenience food has also made people forget how to cook one of the apparent paradoxes of modern food is that while the amount of lime spent cooking meals has fallen from 60 minutes a day in 1980 to 13M a day in 2002, the number of cooks and television programmer on cooking has multipliedBut perhaps this isn’t a paradox Maybe it is became people can’t cook anymore, so they need to be told how to do it, or maybe it is because people buy books about hobbies...golf, yachting...not about chores.Cooking has erased to be a chore and has became a hobby Although everybody lives in the kitchen its facilities are increasingly for display rather than for use Mr Silverstein’s now book ,“trading up” look at mid-range consumer’s milling now to splash out He says that industrial-style Viking cook pot, with nearly twice the heat output of other range ranges, have helped to push the "kitchen as theater” trend in hour goods They cost from $1000 to $9000 Some 75% of them are never useD、 Convenience also has an impact on the healthiness, or otherwise, of food of course there is nothing bad about ready to eat food itself You don’t get much healthier than an apple, and supermarkets sell a better for you range of ready-meals,But there is a limit to the number of apples people want to eat, and these days it is easier for people to eat the kind of food bloat makes them fat The three Harvard economists in their paper "why haveAmericans brooms more obese ” point out that in the past, if people wanted to eat fatty hot food they had to cook it. That took rune and energy a good chip needs frying twice, once to cook the potato and once to get it crispy Which discouraged of consumption of that cost of food Mass preparation of .food took away that constraint Nobody has to cut and double cook their own fries these days Who has the time What is the paradox in the third paragraph A、People don’t know how to cook B．The facilities in the kitchen are not totally useD、 C、People are becoming more obsess thus unhealthy.

第9题：One of the questions that is coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources of many kinds in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development community, the conventional wisdom has been that the 2 billion people living in poor countries could never expect to reach the standard of living that most of us in NorthAmerica enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on.At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super affluence as though there were no limits on how much we could consume. We make up 6 percent of the world’s people; yet we consume one-third of the world’s resources. As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from within our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter.But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, "outsiders" are going to have some say over the rate at which and terms under which we consume. We will no longer be able to think in terms of "our" resources and "their" resources, but only of common resources. AsAmericans consuming such a disproportionate share of the world’s resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super affluence in a world of scarcity. We are now reaching the point where we must carefully examine’ the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumeD、If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanceD、But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn’t make that much difference. In the eyes of most of the world today,Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. People elsewhere are beginning to ask why. This is the question we’re going to have to answer, whether we’re trying to persuade countries to step up their exports of oil to us or trying to convince them that we ought to be permitted to maintain our share of the world fish catch. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition for, the world’s resources requires that we reexamine the way in which we relate to the rest of the worlD、It means we find ways of cutting back on resource consumption that is dependent on the resources and cooperation of other countries. We cannot expect people in these countries to concern themselves with our worsening energy and food shortages unless we demonstrate some concern for the hunger, illiteracy and disease that are diminishing life for them. According to the passage, it has long been believed that ______. A、people in poor countries scarcely know how to enjoy a high standard of living B、the world’s resources being limited, people in underdeveloped countries are bound to live a poor life C、mostAmericans know that the world’s resources of many kinds are becoming scarce D、it is impossible for all the people in the world to improve their living standards

第10题：TheAfricans’ interest is to guard preferential export rules enshrined in the temporaryAfrican Growth and OpportunityAct, passed byCongress in 2,000. Tariff-free exports of some 6,000 goods fromAfrica to the United States are boosting trade and investment in southernAfric A、Lesotho’s fast-growing textile industry depends almost entirely onChinese investment in factories to make clothes for sale in the United States. The region also wants more access toAmerica’s markets for fruit, beef and other agricultural goods. American interest lies mainly in SouthAfrica, by far the largest economy in the region. Services account for 60% of its GDP, and it increasingly dominates the rest ofAfrica in banking, information technology, telecom, retail’ and other areas. Just asBritish banks, such asBarclays, have moved theirAfrican headquarters to SouthAfrica over the past year,American investors see the country as a platform to the rest of the continent. Agreeing investment rules and resolving differences on intellectual property rights are the most urgent issues.American drug firms want to be part of the fast expansion in SouthAfrica of production of anti-retroviral drugs, used againstAIDS.By 2007 SouthAfrica alone expects 1.2m patients to take the drugs daily. The country might be the world’s biggest exporter of anti-AIDS drugs within a few years. Striking a bilateral deal now should makeAmerican investments easier. But Mr. Zoellick’s greater concern is for multilateral trade talks that stalled inCancun, Mexico, in September.AlecErwin, his SouthAfrican counterpart, helped to organize the G20 group of poor and middle-income countries that opposed jointAmerican-EU proposals there; he is widely tipped to take over as head of the World Trade Organization late next year, and would be a useful ally. So Mr. Zoellick is trying to charm hisAfrican partner by agreeing to drop support for most of a group of issues (known as "Singapore" issues) that jammed up the talks atCancun, and were opposed by poor countries; he says he also favors abolishing export subsidies inAmerica--though only if Japan and theEU agree to do the same. That would pleaseAfrican exporters who say such subsidies destroy markets for their goods. Mr. Zoellick’s efforts to make more friends may be paying off.Even thoughAmerica has treatedAfrica very shabbily on trade in the past, Mr.Erwin hints it is easier doing business withAmerica than withEurope or Japan. A、small sign, but perhaps a telling one. American drug makers want to get a share in the anti-AIDS drug production in SouthAfrica in that ______. A、the U.S. domestic anti-AIDS drug market is shrinking quickly B、American drug makers have a lot of extra capital to invest C、the bilateral deal has made U.S. investments much easier now D、SouthAfrica has a huge global market potential in these drugs
