第1题：
In the author’s opinion, employees should _____.
［A］ invest in company stock to show loyalty to their employer
［B］ get out of their own company’s stock
［C］ wait for some time before disposing of their stock
［D］ give trust to a particular company’s stock
正确答案：B本题考查作者观点。第五段中作者提到，年青的雇员没有选择，只能等到50或55岁才能卖掉公司的股票以作为配送缴款（matching contribution）。第六段则提到，而老雇员在能够退出（getting out）的时候却没有。60岁和以上的人中1/3的人选择公司股票作为他们3/4的投资计划。该段末句作者连续用几个问号对这种做法进行了质疑：难道他们疏忽了？过度忠诚？疾病？由此我们可推出作者的观点是反对投资自己公司的做法。因此［B］项正确，排除［A］项。
第七段首句作者则提到，投资者不应该完全信任任何一家公司的股票。因此［D］项是作者反对的。［C］项文中未提。词汇补充：to a fault“过度地”，如generous to a fault（过度慷慨）。

第2题：
(ii) Construct the argument against Professor West’s opinion, and in favour of Professor Leroi’s opinion that
a principles-based approach would be preferable in developing countries. Your answer should consider
the particular situations of developing countries. (10 marks)
正确答案：
(ii) Principles-based approach
Advantages of a principles-based approach
The rigour with which governance systems are applied can be varied according to size, situation, stage of development
of business, etc. Organisations (in legal terms) have a choice to the extent to which they wish to comply, although they
will usually have to ‘comply or explain’. Explanations are more accepted by shareholders and stock markets for smaller
companies.
Obeying the spirit of the law is better than ‘box ticking’ (‘sort of business you are’ rather than ‘obeying rules’). Being
aware of overall responsibilities is more important than going through a compliance exercise merely to demonstrate
conformance.
Avoids the ‘regulation overload’ of rules based (and associated increased business costs). The costs of compliance have
been a cause of considerable concern in the United States.
Self-regulation (e.g. by Financial Services Authority in the UK) rather than legal control has proven itself to underpin
investor confidence in several jurisdictions and the mechanisms are self-tightening (quicker and cheaper than legislation)
if initial public offering (IPO) volumes fall or capital flows elsewhere.
Context of developing countries
Developing countries’ economies tend to be dominated by small and medium sized organisations (SMEs). It would be
very costly and probably futile, to attempt to burden small businesses with regulatory requirements comparable to larger
concerns.
Having the flexibility to ‘comply or explain’ allows for those seeking foreign equity to increase compliance whilst those
with different priorities can delay full compliance. In low-liquidity stock markets (such as those in some developing
countries) where share prices are not seen as strategically important for businesses, adopting a more flexible approach
might be a better use of management talent rather than ‘jumping through hoops’ to comply with legally-binding
constraints.
The state needs to have an enforcement mechanism in place to deal with non-compliance and this itself represents a
cost to taxpayers and the corporate sector. Developing countries may not have the full infrastructure in place to enable
compliance (auditors, pool of NEDs, professional accountants, internal auditors, etc) and a principles-based approach
goes some way to recognise this. -

Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020
The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
countries as well as rich ones.
Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
"Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
first time, matching its effect in industrialized（工业化的）countries , " said researcher Paul
Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors（肿瘤）
at the time of diagnosis.
Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens（致癌物）,and an unhealthy
Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
in the West,which increase cancer rates.The risk of dying from cancer in developed countries is
A:double that in developing countries.
B:much higher than that in developing countries.
C:the same as that in developing countries.
D:much lower than that in developing countries.答案：D解析： -

60.B该题为观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，作者提出了马基雅维利在内容上的缺陷，即“…adhering at times too closely to the chroni- clers of his time, and at others rejecting their testimony without ap- parent reason…”，意思是“文章中有时候太过于附和他所在时代的编年史，而有时候又坚决抛弃其中的论断，而没有给出任何明显的理由…”。而最后一句作者表明“It is the straightforward， logical narrative, which always holds the interest ofhe reader, that is the greatest charm of the History．”意思是：“他直接的、有逻辑的叙述常常能引起读者的兴趣，这就是这本书的魅力所在。”可见，作者认为这本书内容上有缺陷，而对马基雅维利的语言风格持肯定态度。所以，作者对《佛罗伦萨史》的看法就是：这本书的魅力在于他的文体风格而不是内容，故选B。 -

Brain Drain
1.Brain drain is a phenomenon under which"people of a nation move to another nation due to financial benefits and also due to economical reasons,but there are many more reasons behind it". If we think deeply to the topic,we would find that this phenomenon has more disadvantages than advantages.
2.This phenomenon has many advantages for receiving countries which will automatically benefit from the skills and talents of immigrated people who were educated and qualified in their home countnes.
3.However,developing countries are deeply affected by this phenomenon since they are deprived from millions of their skilled workers, doctors,hardworking Engineers,and billions of man power. Those elites represent the backbone of their economies and once they travel abroad,their economies will not flourish and promote.In fact,there are many reasons behind brain drain.Firstly,the Government is the first responsible for brain drain. The salaries paid by local companies are much less than multinational foreign companies,which pushes millions of intelligent,hardworking Engineers to leave their native countries to look for a better life and opportunities.Secondly,the status and facilities provided by foreign companies are much higher in quality and quantity.Also,some people find it a matter of pride and dignity to work as an employee in foreign countries.
4.But we have to mention that brain drain does not only affect developing countries but also has some advantages for them.People living abroad help foreigners to know about their cultures and traditions.Also,they give information about various natural beauties and tourist spots in their home countries,which encourages tourists to visit them. This in turn increases tourist income.Brain drain also helps in increasing their foreign exchanges.
5.But at last you would find that brain drain has more disadvantages than advantages on developing or poor countries.So,to stop brain drain,local governments should make people aware of its harmful effects.Also Government should provide opportunities to their elites and should provide them with handsome salary so that they can serve their own mother nation.Paragraph 3______
A:Harmful effects of brain drain on developing countries.
B:Brain drain in developing countries.
C:Strategies governments can use to curb brain drain.
D:Good effects of brain drain on receiving countries.
E:Brain drain and elites.
F: Benefits brain drain brings to developing countries.答案：A解析：本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段的中心意思是人才流失对人员接受国的益处。

第二篇
Technological Utopia for Developing Countries
Cyberspace（网络空间）,data superhighways, multi-media, the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia（乌托邦）,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology,the West concerns itself with the"how to benefit".The question of"for whom"is put aside once again.
Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade ex-change,interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made possible by information revolution.Technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets and with destructive impact on the have-nots.
For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As "futures"（期货）are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
So what are the options for regaining control?One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves一so-called"development communications"modernization.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries' economies.
Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S.,Europe or Japan.The patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.
Furthermore,when new technology is introduced,there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit native development.This means that while local elites,foreign communities and subsidiaries of transitional corporations may benefit,but not developing countries.It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A:international trade should be expanded
B:the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough consideration
C:the exports of the poor countries should be increased
D:communications technology in the developing countries should be modernized答案：B解析：题干意思为：从文章中我们可以知道，发展高科技对谁有利。本篇文章一直在强调发达国家从中获益，发展中国家为受害国，因此A选项“富裕国家”符合题意。
题干意思为：可以从文章中推断出什么。根据第1段中As with all new high technology,the West concerns itself with the"how benefit”.The question of"for whom"is put aside once again．可知，对于所有的高新科技，西方国家关心的是“如何获益”，而“谁会获益”的问题再一次被搁置。和西方国家相对立的即为发展中国家。
题干的意思为：作者为什么说电子经济对发展中国家有破坏性的影响？根据文章第2段最后一句Technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets and with destructive impact on the have-nots可知，科技使得富国增加了对全球市场的控制，而给穷国带来了破坏性的打击。因此A选项符合题意。其他选项文中未提及。
题干意思为：现代通讯技术的发展对发展中国家有什么影响。根据文章第4段最后一句Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries' economies可知，通讯技术的发展导致了发展中国家长期的依赖，也许会永久地限制发展中国家的经济发展。
题干的意思为：作者对于通讯革命持什么态度。从全篇可知，作者“批评” 了科技发展对于发展中国家造成的不利影响。 -
第21题：
单选题The author’s attitude towards “Diasporas” is that _____.AThere is increasing hostility towards immigrants in rich countries.
BImmigrant networks are a rare bright spark in the world economy and rich countries should welcome them.
CThe Diasporas should return to their homelands so that poor countries will not suffer as a result of “brain drain”.
DHard-working immigrants will depress the wages of the locals although they may greatly increase productivity.
正确答案： B解析：
文章多处提到移民为世界经济发展做出贡献。例如第六段提到在富裕国家的“Migrants”不仅“send cash to their families”；他们还会帮助公司“operate in their home country.”不仅如此，倒数第二段提到了移民为富裕国家也做出的贡献。最后一段也提到“Rich countries”将会从宽松的移民政策中获益。因此B项指出移民是世界经济中难得一见的亮点，富裕国家应该欢迎他们是符合作者对“diasporas”的态度的。A选项是一个事实，不是作者态度。因此不选A。文章最后一段“The prospect of working abroad spurs more people to acquire valuable skills, and not all subsequently emigrate”说明有些人只是到国外学习，并不移民；另外一些人才会回国开公司，因此担心不发达国家会“brain drain”是过分夸张的，故C选项错误。从文章第七段可以看出的确有一些研究表明来自“unskilled immigration”的竞争会压低“unskilled locals”的工资，但是其他研究发现，这种影响“to be small”或者“non-existent”，因此D项错误。 -
第22题：
单选题In the author’s opinion, education should ______.Abe focused on moral courses.
Bhave a religious component.

Dtry to enhance students’ moral standards.
正确答案： B解析：
写作意图题。通读全文，A选项认为教育应集中在道德课程上，该说法过于绝对，作者并未流露出是教育集中在道德课程上；B选项中提到教育应包括宗教方面，与文中作者并不反对“在当今世界，道德教育采取非宗教的形式”的观点不符，并不一定要包括宗教方面；C选项认为教育应该摆脱引起反对的课本，而文中说的是对反对道德的课本进行审视，，并不要求摆脱，与原文不符；D选项认为教育应该努力提高学生的道德标准，该观点正是贯穿全文的中心思想，故答案为D项。 -

正确答案： A解析：
录音中指出世界银行的一项研究估计每年因吸烟导致的全球净亏损达到2万亿美元，其中一半的亏损出现在发展中国家，由此可知另一半的亏损在发达国家，因此不管对于发展中国家或发达国家来说烟草业都对国家经济不利。
