    资料:A new Chinese-led international development bank announced its first four loans on Saturday, pledging to lend $509 million for projects to spread electric power in rural Bangladesh, upgrade living conditions in slums in Indonesia, and improve roads in Pakistan and Tajikistan. At the first of the annual general meetings of in institution, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the bank’s president, Jin Liqun, said the projects were financially sound and environmentally friendly and had been accepted by the people in the project areas.
    The road in Tajikistan is just three miles long, but it will help clear traffic congestion on an important trading route near the capital, Dushanbe. A $100 million loan to Pakistan is for 40 miles of highway in Punjab Province that would complete the last section of national artery, the M-4, the bank said.
    Three of the projects are being financed with other institutions-the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, and the European bank for Reconstruction and Development-an approach that allowed the new bank to begin the projects quickly. The bank’s $165 million loan to expand electricity in rural areas of Bangladesh is its only stand-alone project. By financing projects with long-established institutions, the Beijing-based bank was able to move quickly because work on meeting environmental standards and procurement policies had been completed, staff members at the bank said.
    Although the new bank was China’s idea, it is intended to operate as an international bank dedicated to improving the basic structures and facilities needed to stimulate development across Asia, Mr. Jin said at a news conference on Saturday. Unlike the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank places less emphasis on the reduction of poverty, he said. The bank “ was born with the birthmark of China, but its upbringing is international,” Mr. Jin said. Referring to the three other institutions that will finance the projects, he said, “we can work wonderfully together.”

    The new bank is being watched closely. The United States refused to join when it was offered membership in 2014. Japan has also not sought membership in the bank. But President Obama’s administration was mostly concerned that the bank would challenge the current development architecture, the Bretton Woods system established under the leadership of the United States after World WarⅡ.

    In the past year, Mr. Jin has worked to reassure Washington, largely by agreeing to choose projects that have already been approved by the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank. He has also emphasized that the new bank will be more streamlined and strive to be “lean, green and clean.”

    Britain was the most eager of the Western democracies to join the bank, and it broke ranks with the United States and became a member in the fall of 2014. Other members of the European Union, including France and Germany, rushed in after Britain. The withdrawal of Britain from the European Union is not expected to affect its relationship with the bank, Mr. Jin said. “ I believe the United Kingdom will continue to play an important role in the development of the bank, ”he said at the news conference. Asked if he believed that Britain’s decision showed that the old guard was crumbling quicker than he expected, Mr. Jin diplomatically replied that he had detected no such..(缺失)

    Two dozen countries have expressed interest in joining the bank, and they sent observers to the two-day meeting, Mr. Jin said. The new members would come from Eastern Europe, Latin America, and could join as early as (缺失)year.

    Mr. Jin agrees with the following ideas except ( ).

    A.World Bank and the Asian Development Bank emphasize more on poverty reduction than Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank does.
    B.The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank will be devoted to improve develpomengt in Asia.
    C.The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank will work together with the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
    D.The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank will pose a challenge to the United States.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】Mr. Jin; agrees; except
    【主题句】第四段Unlike the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank places less emphasis on the reduction of poverty.(不像世界银行和亚洲开发银行,亚洲基础设施投资银行没有那么强调减少贫困。 )
    Although the new bank was China’s idea, it is intended to operate as an international bank dedicated to improving the basic structures and facilities needed to stimulate development across Asia(尽管新银行是中国的想法,但其目的是作为一个国际银行致力于改善所需的基本结构和设施来刺激亚洲发展。)
    Referring to the three other institutions that will finance the projects, he said, “we can work wonderfully together.”(当提到其他三个资助该项目的机构时,他说,“我们可以很完美得一起工作。”
    第五段But President Obama’s administration was mostly concerned that the bank would challenge the current development architecture.(但奥巴马政府主要担心的是,亚洲基础设施投资银行将挑战当前的发展架构。)
    第六段In the past year, Mr. Jin has worked to reassure Washington(在过去的一年中,金先生努力打消了美国政府的疑虑。)
    【解析】本题问“金先生同意以下除了( )的观点?”选项A意为“世界银行和亚洲开发银行比亚洲基础设施投资银行更强调减贫”;选项B意为“亚洲基础设施投资银行将致力于改善亚洲的发展”;选项C意为“亚洲基础设施投资银行将与世界银行,亚洲开发银行和欧洲复兴开发银行合作”;选项D意为“亚洲基础设施投资银行将对美国构成挑战”。
    根据主题句可知,美国政府担心亚洲基础设施投资银行会对其构成威胁,但金先生打消了其疑虑,说明他本人是不赞成这个观点的。故选项D错误。

    推断题根据题干中的Accenture一词可定位到文章第一段。通过上下文虽然可以推断Accenture是和可口可乐或耐克差不多的知名品牌,而且Vitenam,Tashkent和Nigeria是三个相对落后的国家,但文章举例的目的是为了凸显市场全球化的普及程度,而非证明Accenture的知名度和Tashkent的落后,也不是比较这三个地区的全球化程度,故可排除B、C和D项。该段第二句指出,市场全球化在过去的二十年内已十分普遍,大家可以在越南的乡村看到Coca-Cola,在塔什干找到Accenture或在尼日利亚看到Nike。由此可以判断,Accenture应该是和可口可乐或耐克差不多的国际知名品牌的产品或公司,因此答案为A项。

    Genetically Modified Food

    Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s,genetically modified(GM,转基因)foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis.______(46)Even if it would,is it the best solution?
    Despite what it promises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential (潜力)of any crop.______(47)For instance,a report that analyses nearly two decades of research on major GM food shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.
    ______(48)While GM seeds are expensive,GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂).On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops."The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production.But neither is true,"said Bill Christison,President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.
    At the same time,the authors of the book World Hunger:Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production. ______(49)These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile,the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food shortage,according to a 2008 World Bank report.
    ______(50)Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger,because better ways out are available,among which "green"farming is supposed to be the first choice.

    _______(49)
    A:Problems come from food distribution and politics.
    B:But can GM technology solve world hunger problems?
    C:In fact,studies show that the most widely grown GM crop has suffered reduced productivity.
    D:As a matter of fact,scientists see better ways to feed the world.
    E:Something else,however,has been on the rise.
    F: GM has many benefits when it was used at the beginning.

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章开篇第1段对转基因科技提出质疑,为下文具体论述做铺垫。因此答案为B。
    第2段第一句提到转基因技术并没有增加粮食产量,后面举的例子是美国的粮食产量并没有增加。据此推测,空白处应该是粮食减产的有关语句。因此选C。
    根据后文对转基因技术缺点的论述,第3段第一句应该为关于转基因缺点的总括句,分析各个选项后,E最符合题意。
    通过对书的作者观点的引述得知,造成饥荒的原因不在生产领域。因此空格处应该解释饥荒的原因。选项A最符合题意,即问题出在食物分配和政策上。
    最后一段的最后一句提出了解决饥饿问题的方法,因此选项D符合题意。
