Passage 1  What is apartheid? It is the policy of keeping African inferior, and separate  1 Europeans.  They are to be kept separate by not being allowed to live  2 citizens with rights in European towns. They may go to European towns to work, 3 they may not have their families there; they  4 live in “Bantustans”, the native areas. They are not to mix 5 Europeans by sitting in the same cafes, waiting  6 , compartments of trains, seats in parks, etc.  Twelve percent of the land is left for the Africans to live and farm  7 , and this is mostly dry, poor, mountainous land. Yet the Africans are three-quarters of the people. They are forced to go and work  8 the Europeans, not only because their lands do not grow  9 food to keep them, but  10 because they must earn money to pay their taxes. Each adult African man has to pay 1 pound a year poll tax, and ten shillings a year tax for his hut. When they go into European areas to work, they are  11 allowed to do skilled 15 work; they are hewers of wood and drawers of water, and their wage is about one-seventh of __12__ a European would earn for the same kind of work.  If a European  13 an African to do skilled work of the kind, reserved for  14 , such as carpentry, both the European and his African employee may be fined 100 pounds. Any African who  15 part in a strike may be fined 500 pounds, and/or sent to prison for three years.

3.Text 2For centuries the most valuable of African resources for Europeans were the slaves ,but these could be obtained at coastal ports, without any need for going deep inland. Slavery had been an established institution in Africa. Prisoners of war had been enslaved, as were also debtors and individuals guilty of serious crimes. But these slaves usually were treated as part of the family. They had clearly defined rights, and their slave status was not necessarily inherited. Therefore it is commonly argued that Africa's traditional slavery was mild compared to the trans-Atlantic slave trade organized by the Europeans. This argument ,however ,can be carried too far .ln the most recent study of this subject, some scholars warned against the illusion that "cruel and dehumanizing enslavement was a monopoly of the West. Slavery in its extreme forms ,including the taking of life, was common to both Africa and the West. The fact that African slavery had different origins and consequences should not lead us to deny what it was - the exploitation and control of human beings. "Neither can it be denied that the wholesale shipment of Africans to the slave plantations of the Americas was made possible by the participation of African chiefs who rounded up their fellow Africans and sold them as a handsome profit to European ship captains waiting along the coasts.Granting all this ,the fact remains that the trans-Atlantic slave trade conducted by the Europeans was entirely different in quantity and quality from the traditional type of slavery that had existed' within Africa. From the beginning the European variety was primarily an economic institution rather than social ,as it had been in Africa. Western slave traders and slave owners were acted on by purely economic considerations ,and were quite ready to work their slaves to death if it was more profitable to do so than to treat them more mercifully. This inhumanity was reinforced by racism when the Europeans became involved in the African slave trade on a large scale. Perhaps as a subconscious rationalization they gradually came to look down on Negroes as inherently inferior ,and therefore destined to serve their white masters. Rationalization also may have been involved in the Europeans' use of religion to justify the traffic in human beings. It was argued ,for instance ,that enslavement assured the conversion of the African evil-believing religions to the true faith as well as to civilization.46.1n the first paragraph, the author argues that[ A] the Europeans were innocent in the trade of African slaves.[ B] slavery in Africa and in the West was the same in nature.[ C] the view in the most recent studies of enslavement is baseless.[D] slaves had been treated even more cruelly in the African tradition.

    资料:Seeking to end a stalemate in negotiations over her country’s withdrawal from the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain offered Friday substantial payments to the bloc during a two-year transition period immediately after the country’s exit.
      Mrs. May’s long-awaited intervention, during a speech in Florence, Italy, was being watched closely in capitals on the Continent and in London, where members of her cabinet have been fiercely divided over Britain’s tortuous divorce from the bloc. The speech aimed to open the way to serious negotiations on what is commonly known as Brexit, and to a broader and more productive discussion about Britain’s relationship with the bloc.
      However, while offering some concessions designed to do that, Mrs. May did not give any fresh insight into the type of ties she ultimately wants Britain to have to the bloc-a question that divides her cabinet and her Conservative, or Tory, Party.
      The European Union’s chief negotiators, Michel Barnier, issued a cautious response, saying in a statement that, “We look forward to the United Kingdom’s negotiators explaining the concrete implications of Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech. Our ambition is to find a rapid agreement on the conditions of the United Kingdom’s orderly withdrawal, as well as on a possible transition period.”
      Although Britain is scheduled to exit the European Union in 2019, there has been little progress in talks since March, when London formally announced its intention to leave. Brussels is insisting that Britain agree to the terms of the divorce before discussing future trade ties, while the British would like to do both simultaneously.
      In light of the continuing standoff, many business worry about a “cliff edge” scenario, in which Britain would crash out without a deal, so Mrs. May is under pressure to find a way out of the impasses. Speaking in Florence on Friday, Mrs. May did not say precisely how much money Britain would continue to contribute to the European Union. But she made a significant promise that the British-who are big net contributors to the bloc-would not leave a hole in the union’s budget in 2019 and 2020.
      “I do not want our partners to fear that they will need to pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan as a result of our decision to leave.” Mrs. May said. That would probably mean payments of around 20 billion euros, or about $24 billion, after Britain’s departure. It would also effectively maintain the state quo for the duration of a two-year transition period, meaning that Britain would allow the free movement of European workers and accept rulings from the European Court of Justice. This alone is unlikely to be enough to satisfy the 27 other member nations, but Mrs. May hinted that she would be willing to go further and “honor commitments we have made during the period of our membership.”
      In addition, Mrs. May proposed a security partnership with the European Union, stressing Britain’s importance as a defense power, and also offered new legal safeguards to guarantee the rights of European Union citizens in Britain after Brexit.
      Over all, Mrs. May sought to stress the common interest London shares with continental European capitals in reaching an agreement and avoiding disruption to trade, wrapping her odder in dialogue that was more positive, and less antagonistic, than that of some previous interventions.
      European Union negotiators have refused to talk about post-Brexit ties until they judge that there is “sufficient progress” on the issues they consider a priority. the states of European Union citizens in Britain after it leaves, the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland(which is a part of the United Kingdom)and Britain’s financial commitments to the bloc.
      There is little sign yet that the other 27 nations are prepared to grant Britain a bespoke agreement, and officials have warned London on numerous occasions that there would be no “cherry picking” of the parts of European Union membership it likes.

    A Trainee Waiter

    I was to be a trainee waiter(实习侍应生)at the restaurant. There are 50 waiters. Trainee waiters and waiters work as a team. The waiter is the front man,taking orders,chatting to the customers;the trainee,rather less glamorously,runs to the kitchen to bring up the orders and assist in serving them at the table.Although the trainee will actually do more physical work,they share the tips equally.All in all this is fair,as it must be pointed out that the senior waiter is actually responsible for keeping a running account of the bills and if he makes a mistake,or undercharges,the fine will be taken from his earnings.
    I reported for work at 1 1 a. m. That may sound like a relaxed time to start the day,but the hours,I was soon to learn,are hell.The last client at lunchtime may not leave until 4 p.m.,or later,and the evening shift starts at 6 p.m. What can you do in the 2 hours,especially if you don't happen to live in central London?I used to live a bit far,so once or twice,I didn't get home until 5 p.m.
    The trainee takes orders from the table down to the kitchen.He places the order for hot food under the nose of the chef who is shouting out orders to the cooks,while orders for cold dishes and salad go to a separate counter,and desserts are from yet another area. The kitchen is two flights of stairs away from the restaurant. The trainee then comes up to see if any more orders have been taken while the previous one is being prepared.At the same time,dishes have to be cleared or put on the table, glasses refilled,and somehow there always seems to be a new table with six or eight new orders to be filled.
    Hell,I rather imagine,is like the kitchen of that restraint. Yelling chefs,endless banging of pots,men with red shinning faces,and trays with loads heavy enough to break your wrists.And running. Always running. Up and down,down and up.And since everyone is running,and always with loaded trays,you need to go to the gym to keep physically strong. However,the problem is still about time.I'm totally exhausted after work,and all I want at that time is to go to bed immediately and sleep for more than 8 hours continuously.I tried to budget my time wisely,but my plan always ended with failure.
    Now,I become more rational.Instead of going to gym,and being worried for wasting my membership fee if I happen to have no time to go to the gym for a whole week,I walk home every day from work.It is cheap,and,what is more important,flexible.My home is only two blocks away from the restaurant,which makes it possible. Thank Goodness,the security of that district is always good, so I'm not running any risk of being robbed on my way home at night.

    Since the trainee waiters do more work,they can get more tips.

    ◆Topic 10:Work to Live or Live to Work?  Questions for reference:  1) Why do people live?  2) Are people really aware of the reasons why they work?  3) How do you balance work and life?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    Living in a highly competitive society, the idea that the purpose of life is to work is prevalent even dominant. Most bread earners believe that financial guarantee is more realistic and more important for a person and for his family. So they take for granted that devoting to work is the most reasonable and worthy thing to do.
    Nevertheless, objectors think that work is only a means to have a better life. They argue that there are more important things than work in life, such as friends, personal interests, social responsibilities and so or. They think that life will be dull and meaningless with work as its aim.
    In my opinion, we should strike a balance between work and life. On the one hand, to be a diligent worker is necessary and meaningful. On the other hand, we should not be workaholic, or we will lose many significant things in life, such as love and friendship.

    资料:Seeking to end a stalemate in negotiations over her country’s withdrawal from the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain offered Friday substantial payments to the bloc during a two-year transition period immediately after the country’s exit.
      Mrs. May’s long-awaited intervention, during a speech in Florence, Italy, was being watched closely in capitals on the Continent and in London, where members of her cabinet have been fiercely divided over Britain’s tortuous divorce from the bloc. The speech aimed to open the way to serious negotiations on what is commonly known as Brexit, and to a broader and more productive discussion about Britain’s relationship with the bloc.
      However, while offering some concessions designed to do that, Mrs. May did not give any fresh insight into the type of ties she ultimately wants Britain to have to the bloc-a question that divides her cabinet and her Conservative, or Tory, Party.
      The European Union’s chief negotiators, Michel Barnier, issued a cautious response, saying in a statement that, “We look forward to the United Kingdom’s negotiators explaining the concrete implications of Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech. Our ambition is to find a rapid agreement on the conditions of the United Kingdom’s orderly withdrawal, as well as on a possible transition period.”
      Although Britain is scheduled to exit the European Union in 2019, there has been little progress in talks since March, when London formally announced its intention to leave. Brussels is insisting that Britain agree to the terms of the divorce before discussing future trade ties, while the British would like to do both simultaneously.
      In light of the continuing standoff, many business worry about a “cliff edge” scenario, in which Britain would crash out without a deal, so Mrs. May is under pressure to find a way out of the impasses. Speaking in Florence on Friday, Mrs. May did not say precisely how much money Britain would continue to contribute to the European Union. But she made a significant promise that the British-who are big net contributors to the bloc-would not leave a hole in the union’s budget in 2019 and 2020.
      “I do not want our partners to fear that they will need to pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan as a result of our decision to leave.” Mrs. May said. That would probably mean payments of around 20 billion euros, or about $24 billion, after Britain’s departure. It would also effectively maintain the state quo for the duration of a two-year transition period, meaning that Britain would allow the free movement of European workers and accept rulings from the European Court of Justice. This alone is unlikely to be enough to satisfy the 27 other member nations, but Mrs. May hinted that she would be willing to go further and “honor commitments we have made during the period of our membership.”
      In addition, Mrs. May proposed a security partnership with the European Union, stressing Britain’s importance as a defense power, and also offered new legal safeguards to guarantee the rights of European Union citizens in Britain after Brexit.
      Over all, Mrs. May sought to stress the common interest London shares with continental European capitals in reaching an agreement and avoiding disruption to trade, wrapping her odder in dialogue that was more positive, and less antagonistic, than that of some previous interventions.
      European Union negotiators have refused to talk about post-Brexit ties until they judge that there is “sufficient progress” on the issues they consider a priority. the states of European Union citizens in Britain after it leaves, the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland(which is a part of the United Kingdom)and Britain’s financial commitments to the bloc.
      There is little sign yet that the other 27 nations are prepared to grant Britain a bespoke agreement, and officials have warned London on numerous occasions that there would be no “cherry picking” of the parts of European Union membership it likes.

    A.The two sides have not reached an agreement on conditions of Britain’s orderly exit.

    第一段Seeking to end a stalemate in negotiations over her country’s withdrawal from the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain offered Friday substantial payments to the bloc during a two-year transition period immediately after the country’s exit. 为了在英国退出欧盟的谈判中谋求结束僵局,英国首相特蕾莎?梅星期五表示在该国退出后的两年过渡期内向该集团提供大额支付。
    第四段The European Union’s chief negotiators, Michel Barnier, issued a cautious response, saying in a statement that, “We look forward to the United Kingdom’s negotiators explaining the concrete implications of Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech. Our ambition is to find a rapid agreement on the conditions of the United Kingdom’s orderly withdrawal, as well as on a possible transition period.” 欧盟首席谈判代表米歇尔?巴尼耶发表了谨慎的回应,他在一份声明中表示“我们期待英国的谈判代表解释首相特蕾莎?梅的讲话的具体含义。我们的目标是迅速就英国有序撤退的条件以及可能的过渡期达成一致。”
    第六段最后一句But she made a significant promise that the British-who are big net contributors to the bloc-would not leave a hole in the union’s budget in 2019 and 2020. 但是她做出了重大承诺,即英国人是集团中的大的净捐赠者,不会在2019和2020年欧盟开支中留下财务漏洞。
    第二段Mrs. May’s long-awaited intervention, during a speech in Florence, Italy, was being watched closely in capitals on the Continent and in London, where members of her cabinet have been fiercely divided over Britain’s tortuous divorce from the bloc. 在意大利佛罗伦萨的一次演讲中,梅夫人期待已久的干预被欧洲大陆首都和伦敦密切关注着,而她的内阁成员正是在英国与该集团的曲折‘离婚’中产生严重分歧。
    【解析】题目意为“英国脱欧后,欧盟和英国之间存在僵局,因为_____?”选项A意为“双方尚未就英国有序退出的条件达成协议”;选项B意为“英国拒绝填补欧盟的财务漏洞”;选项C意为“英国人在脱欧问题上存在分歧”;选项D意为“欧盟不希望英国退出”。根据主题句,双方陷入僵局主要是由于未对退出具体条件达成一致。选项B中,英国做出承诺将填补欧盟财务漏洞,故错误;由于脱欧问题,英国首相内阁分歧严重,未提及英国人民,选项C错误;文章中,未提及欧盟不希望英国退出,选项D错误;因此选项A与题意相符。

    A Trainee Waiter

    I was to be a trainee waiter(实习侍应生)at the restaurant. There are 50 waiters. Trainee waiters and waiters work as a team. The waiter is the front man,taking orders,chatting to the customers;the trainee,rather less glamorously,runs to the kitchen to bring up the orders and assist in serving them at the table.Although the trainee will actually do more physical work,they share the tips equally.All in all this is fair,as it must be pointed out that the senior waiter is actually responsible for keeping a running account of the bills and if he makes a mistake,or undercharges,the fine will be taken from his earnings.
    I reported for work at 1 1 a. m. That may sound like a relaxed time to start the day,but the hours,I was soon to learn,are hell.The last client at lunchtime may not leave until 4 p.m.,or later,and the evening shift starts at 6 p.m. What can you do in the 2 hours,especially if you don't happen to live in central London?I used to live a bit far,so once or twice,I didn't get home until 5 p.m.
    The trainee takes orders from the table down to the kitchen.He places the order for hot food under the nose of the chef who is shouting out orders to the cooks,while orders for cold dishes and salad go to a separate counter,and desserts are from yet another area. The kitchen is two flights of stairs away from the restaurant. The trainee then comes up to see if any more orders have been taken while the previous one is being prepared.At the same time,dishes have to be cleared or put on the table, glasses refilled,and somehow there always seems to be a new table with six or eight new orders to be filled.
    Hell,I rather imagine,is like the kitchen of that restraint. Yelling chefs,endless banging of pots,men with red shinning faces,and trays with loads heavy enough to break your wrists.And running. Always running. Up and down,down and up.And since everyone is running,and always with loaded trays,you need to go to the gym to keep physically strong. However,the problem is still about time.I'm totally exhausted after work,and all I want at that time is to go to bed immediately and sleep for more than 8 hours continuously.I tried to budget my time wisely,but my plan always ended with failure.
    Now,I become more rational.Instead of going to gym,and being worried for wasting my membership fee if I happen to have no time to go to the gym for a whole week,I walk home every day from work.It is cheap,and,what is more important,flexible.My home is only two blocks away from the restaurant,which makes it possible. Thank Goodness,the security of that district is always good, so I'm not running any risk of being robbed on my way home at night.

    I'm good at budgeting my time,so I often have plenty of sleep.

    文章第三段提到:" He places the order for hot food...while orders for cold dishes and salad go to a separate counter , and desserts are from yet another area.”所以三类的点菜单被放在三个不同的区域,因而选A。
    文章并没有提到是否侍应生为了保持体能而必须去跑步,所以选C。
    该判断错误。文章第四段说明“I tried to budget my time wisely , but my plan always ended with failure.”我试图明智地分配好我的时间,但我的计划总是以失败告终。所以我并不擅长于安排我的时间。
    文章最后一段提到步行回家的目的是为了以更加灵活的方式锻炼身体,因此,选B

    Topic 5:Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”?  Questions for Reference:  1. What kind of products will you define as “luxuries”?  2. Should people who receive subsistence allowance from the government be allowed to own luxuries? Why or why not?  3. What do you suggest will be the more “humane” restrictions on those who apply for subsistence allowance?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”?
    My name is my registration number is my topic is: Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”?
    I have known from newspapers that one local government has declared that government relief recipients are not allowed to buy “luxuries” such as cell phones and computers. Once violated, the subsistence allowance will be halted. It has caused withdrawn debate among the Public. The supporters say that limited financial resources should be used where they are most needed and those who can afford top-grade commodities have no right to the subsistence allowance. Nevertheless, the opponents insist that purchasing something they think necessary is personal freedom and should not be interfered. As far as I am concerned, government relief recipients shouldn’t be kept from owning such “luxuries”. My reasons are as follows:
    Firstly, I agree that it is personal freedom [or people to decide what to buy, even for the poor. How recipients use the money is their own business in which the government has no right to interfere despite its role as the provider of the relief.
    Secondly, cell phones and computers are currently becoming the daily necessities for the majority of the average people, including the poor. They can help o improve people’s living standards and shake off poverty.
    Thirdly, we are now living in a modern age. Information technology is developing fast with each passing day. We all need to try our best to keep up with the time.
    Finally, I hope that the government will take more active measures to implement the policy of urban subsistence allowance and effectively help those from low-income families.
