One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development (1) com____, the coronal wisdom has been that the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to (2) r____ the standard of living that most of the people in North America 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 (3)____ how much we could consume. We (4) m____ only 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 (5) w____ our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in (6)____ of “our” resources and “their” resources, but only of (7) c____ resources.  As Americans consume such a(n) (8)____(proportion) 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 (9)____(scarce). We are now reaching the point at which 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 (10) d____. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world’s resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.

    A Minor Microsurgery Last year,Sean Martinovich,from Whitianga,had life-saving surgery when a golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem.But the operation left half his face paralysed.He talked with a slur,sometimes dribbled(流 口水)out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly.Although he could run around with the other boys in the playground,when they laughed he could not laugh with them.Without a smile,he could suffer psychologically and emotionally. Last week,6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile.Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Sean's legs and transplanted it into his face.On the normal side of his face the nerve divides into lots of little branches."We'll cut those nerve branches and then we'll take a nerve graft from one leg and tunnel it across his face from one side to the other and join that on to the nerve that' s been cut on the good side of his face."Doctor Bartlett said before the operation."If this was not fixed he conld face physical and emotional problems as he got older,"Doctor Bartlett said."Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis.It's easy for people,especially children,to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face." Sean is not smiling yet.Over the next six months the nerves will grow across the face to the damaged side and after that movement will hopefully come back.Sean's parents,Steve and Wendy Martinovich,said they had been through a year of hell.But their son was a determined boy who just got on with it,said Mrs Martinovich.They are amazed at the technology that they hope will restore the cheeky smile they love so much.For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is almost routine.For Sean's parents,it is a miracle.

    Doctor Bartlett transplanted a nerve into Sean Martinovich's face which was removed from his______.
    A:leg
    B:back
    C:the normal side of his face
    D:brain

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段第一句表明,Sean是在去年做的手术;第二段第一句表明,上周Sean的年龄为6岁。所以去年手术时、Sean的年龄应为5岁。
    第一段第三句表明,Sean谈吐不清,有时会流口水,还不能正常地闭眼睛;第一段最后一句说明他不能微笑。综合这些可推知," paralysed"、的意思为“瘫痪的”,也就是失去了感觉和对肌肉的控制。
    根据第二段第四句引用的Bartlett医生的话语可知,移植到Sean脸上的神经来自于他的腿上。
    由第二段最后两句引用Bartlett医生的话语可知,由于面部瘫痪,人们会变得很内向。特别是孩子,宁愿与面无表情的人接触,也会远离只有半边脸微笑的不对称表情。由此推测,Sean可能为了避免让别人发现他那不对称的微笑而采取躲避的方法,这会引起一系列生理问题和心理问题。
    第三段倒数第二句说明,对于Bartlett医生来说,微创手术是“routine"(日常工作),可见微创手术对Bartlett医生来说是一件很容易的事。

    Why?

    B:Because other children will be scared to see his face.
    C:Because he will be through time of hell.

    Topic 4:Talk about Virtue  Questions for reference:  1) What virtues can you name?  2) Which one do you think it the most important one?  3) What should we do in order to establish concept of honor and disgrace among people?

    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.

In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world’s resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.

    正确答案: 1.community community社会整体,大众。这里指由各个国家共同构成却又彼此独立的有机整体。
    2.reach reach the standard of living达到生活标准。
    3.on limit后能接of,to,on/upon等介词,意思不相同。limit后接on,指对…施加限制,如:place a limit on the number of visitors限制参观的人数。limit后接of指…的限制,如:reach the limit of one’s patience达到了忍无可忍的地步。
    4.make make构成。此句译为:我们只占世界人口的6%,但我们消费的资源却占世界三分之一。
    5.within 该句译为:既然我们过去每年消耗的资源主要来自国内,这个问题基本上就只属于本国内部事务。与后一句的from the outside world形成对比,故填within。

    7.common common共有的,强调每个成员都有份,如:common interests共同利益。for the common good为公共利益。
    8.disproportionate 上文谈到美国人口仅占世界6%,但消耗的资源却占三分之一,这是与人口不成比例的,故填disproportionate。
    9.scarcity 文章主题句说:正当我们面临着世界资源匮乏之际,一个焦点问题就是国家间如何分配有限的资源。与主题句中的scarcity对应。
    10.difference 此句可译为:如果你只有一块干面包,再得到一块,那你的生活就会大大改善,但如果你已有一整条面包,再多得一块,并没多少区别。
