【录音原文】
  The momentum is building ahead of next month’s G8 summit in Scotland where the leaders of the world’s richest nations will debate what they can do to help some of the world’s poorest. Africa is the priority and the politicians will discuss reducing the debt burden, ending trade regulations which put the continent’s economy at a disadvantage, and giving more aid. Mark Doyle, who’s reported from Africa for many years, looks at why aid is necessary, and why much of what’s been donated in the past has not worked. All around the edge of Africa—along the coastline, near the continents’ ports—are monuments to exploitation. On the island of Goree, for example, just off the coast of Senegal, there’s the Slave House. This was the last place many Africans saw before being shipped off to a lifetime of slavery, in the Americas or, just as often, to death on the high seas. There are many more places like this dating from the three hundred and fifty years or so of the African slave trade. When people wonder why Africa is so poor, they need look no further for the start of an explanation. The end of the slavery was followed by a century of colonialism. Some people argue that colonialism brought limited development—railways and schools and so on—the system was principally designed to turn Africa into a vast plantation and mining site for the profit of outsides.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
5. What will NOT be discussed by politicians during the G8 Summit?
6. According to Mark Doyle, why is Africa is so poor?
7. What was the last place many Africans saw before being shipped off to a lifetime of slavery?

    Practice 1  Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty, has a cuisine all its own. Immigration to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it. However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents fresh shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.  Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves. Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes. The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep to the island. Africans also added to the island’s food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes. In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for—coffee, coconuts, and oranges—was actually imported by foreigners to the island.

    今天泰诺人的烹饪方式还存在于波多黎各人的烹饪中,但是深受1508年入侵当地的西班牙人影响,同时还受到被带到这里做奴隶的非洲人的影响。泰诺人的烹调风格与西班牙人和非洲人的烹饪想法融合在一起,进而形成了新的菜肴。西班牙人带来了牛、猪和羊,从而增加了食材的范围,非洲人使菜肴的口感强烈,对比鲜明,增加了这里的食品文化。事实上,波多黎各的很多食物以咖啡、椰子和橘子闻名,而这些都是外国人带来的。
