正確答案：事實(shí)上，削減學(xué)費(fèi)變得如此之流行，以至于在許多大學(xué)里，那些最初屬于少數(shù)人的補(bǔ)貼已經(jīng)成為多數(shù)人的權(quán)利了。

2.

正確答案：很自然，這種奇怪的制度要為它只是給予而不求回報(bào)的慷慨行為付出代價(jià)，因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)資助的增加通常不得不靠大幅度地提高本已高昂的學(xué)費(fèi)來提供資金。

3.

正確答案：不幸的是，大學(xué)貸款已經(jīng)像星期五晚上痛飲啤酒一樣成為學(xué)生生活的一部分。

4.

正確答案：諸如此類的統(tǒng)計(jì)資料使西弗吉尼亞大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)查爾斯·曼寧感到憂慮。他擔(dān)心，沉重的債務(wù)“最終可能對(duì)學(xué)生的許多方面產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響，如：他們的生活方式，對(duì)職業(yè)的選擇，上研究生院和職業(yè)學(xué)校的意愿以及購(gòu)買房屋、汽車和其他消費(fèi)品的能力”。

5.

正確答案：在一些大公司工作是體面的第一份工作，但它們所支付的工資不可能使大學(xué)畢業(yè)生們既能償還學(xué)生貸款又能享受一種與其期望值相稱的生活方式。

SectionⅡChinese-EnglishTranslation1.

提起東盟國(guó)家，我就想起去年在東盟會(huì)議上，馬哈蒂爾先生和吳作棟先生曾經(jīng)形象地把中國(guó)比喻成一個(gè)友好的大象。

他們說，中國(guó)的崛起不會(huì)對(duì)他們存在任何威脅。中國(guó)有5000年的文明史，有過輝煌的過去，也有過屈辱的往事。中國(guó)的崛起是多少代中國(guó)人的夢(mèng)想。中國(guó)和平崛起的要義在什么地方?

第一，中國(guó)和平崛起就是要充分利用世界和平的大好時(shí)機(jī)，努力發(fā)展和壯大自己。同時(shí)又以自己的發(fā)展，維護(hù)世界和平。

第二，中國(guó)的崛起應(yīng)把基點(diǎn)主要放在自己的力量上，獨(dú)立自主、自力更生，艱苦奮斗，依靠廣闊的國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)、充足的勞動(dòng)力資源和雄厚的資金儲(chǔ)備，以及改革帶來的機(jī)制創(chuàng)新。

第三，中國(guó)的崛起離不開世界。中國(guó)必須堅(jiān)持開放的政策，在平等互利的原則上，同世界一切友好國(guó)家發(fā)展經(jīng)貿(mào)往來。

第四，中國(guó)的崛起需要很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，恐怕要多少代人的努力奮斗。

第五，中國(guó)的崛起不會(huì)妨礙任何人，也不會(huì)威脅任何人，也不會(huì)犧牲任何人。中國(guó)現(xiàn)在不稱霸，將來即使強(qiáng)大了也永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)稱霸。正確答案：譯文1

正確答案：正是這些開創(chuàng)了所謂“科技復(fù)興”時(shí)代的人們說，他們甚至在和自己的同事、朋友打交道時(shí)都不那么客氣了，更不用說對(duì)待陌生人了。

2.

正確答案：更能夠說明問題的是，他們把很大一部分責(zé)任歸咎于他們同時(shí)正積極擁護(hù)的技術(shù)上。

3.

正確答案：相反，那些我們本以為可以解放我們的技術(shù)奇跡卻開始把我們困在相互聯(lián)系的網(wǎng)內(nèi)，似乎很難從中輕易逃脫。

4.

正確答案：我們的每一刻閑暇時(shí)間都被某種業(yè)務(wù)聯(lián)系所侵占，時(shí)間反倒成了最稀缺的資源。

5.

正確答案：如果這種新技術(shù)革命僅僅意味著超級(jí)高效，那么我們就可能失去某種比時(shí)間更珍貴的東西——我們對(duì)做一個(gè)有愛心的人的價(jià)值感。

1．由于消費(fèi)支出占國(guó)家總產(chǎn)出的大約三分之二，所以恢復(fù)消費(fèi)者信心是格林斯潘和國(guó)會(huì)的當(dāng)務(wù)之急。

2．許多美國(guó)企業(yè)，尤其是飛機(jī)和其他高價(jià)值工業(yè)的機(jī)械和設(shè)備制造商堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為，這些法規(guī)對(duì)抵制歐盟實(shí)施的經(jīng)WTO批準(zhǔn)的出口增值稅退稅來說是必要的。

3．當(dāng)一個(gè)WTO成員國(guó)政府就某一爭(zhēng)端提出投訴而且該投訴政府認(rèn)為其利益正受到另一成員政府行為的損害時(shí)，爭(zhēng)端解決機(jī)構(gòu)(DSB)才了解到該事件。

4．在過去五年里，歐洲的商業(yè)及企業(yè)環(huán)境也發(fā)生了可觀的變化；私募股權(quán)投資公司已經(jīng)成為新的投資來源，它的出現(xiàn)提高了就業(yè)率，同時(shí)也創(chuàng)造了新的價(jià)值。

5．韋爾奇并非出身富貴之門，也決非一夜成名，他是靠自己的奮斗脫穎而出的。正確答案：1.Becausetheconsumptionexpensetakesupabouttwothirdsofthewholenation'sgrossoutput,it'surgentforGreenspanandtheparliamentarytorecovertheconsumptionconfidence.

作為一個(gè)國(guó)際商業(yè)中心，上海擁有繁忙的港口，亞洲最重要的證券交易所之一以及世界600強(qiáng)都不能忽視的巨大市場(chǎng)。

上海己建成全國(guó)頂級(jí)的博物館和歌劇院，還將舉辦2010年世界博覽會(huì)，向人們展示其商業(yè)和文化中心的地位。在世博會(huì)153年的歷史中，擁有1700萬人口的上海將成為發(fā)展中國(guó)家的首個(gè)東道主。

預(yù)計(jì)在2010年5月至10月的世博會(huì)期間，參觀人數(shù)將達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的7000萬人次。世博會(huì)的主題為：城市，讓生活更美好。上海希望通過舉辦世博會(huì)盈利的同時(shí)，能吸引資金流向其服務(wù)業(yè)。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看，世博會(huì)將有利于城市改造并全面提升上海的國(guó)際形象。

上海計(jì)劃為世博會(huì)投資30億美元。為確保世博會(huì)舉辦期間交通順暢，還將投入更多資金用于改造道路和地鐵。

根據(jù)世博會(huì)規(guī)劃，所有會(huì)展建筑將建在黃浦江兩岸，包括眾多高科技展廳和一個(gè)會(huì)議中心。上海市政府決心通過舉辦世博會(huì)，不斷改善城市生活。世博會(huì)結(jié)束后，大部分場(chǎng)地將被改造成生活、辦公和休閑設(shè)施。正確答案：Asaglobalbusinesscenter,ShanghaiishometooneofthebusiestharborsintheworldandoneoftheleadingboursesinAsia.ThemetropolitancityrepresentsanenormousmarketthatevenGlobal500corporationscan'taffordtodismiss/ignore/overlook.

正確答案：這一時(shí)期出現(xiàn)了許多新的發(fā)明和進(jìn)步，諸如通信衛(wèi)星、光導(dǎo)纖維、大規(guī)模集成電路、計(jì)算機(jī)及微型計(jì)算機(jī)、視頻電話數(shù)據(jù)庫、分組交換網(wǎng)絡(luò)等。

2.

正確答案：很少有技術(shù)能像這些得到充分發(fā)展利用的發(fā)明一樣對(duì)人類生活的條件產(chǎn)生如此深刻的影響，而且通訊領(lǐng)域里肯定還會(huì)有更多新發(fā)明，有些甚至?xí)哂懈蟮挠绊懥Α?/p>

3.

正確答案：20世紀(jì)的最后25年將作為一個(gè)歷史的新紀(jì)元而被人們永遠(yuǎn)記??；在這個(gè)時(shí)期，人們獲得了新的通訊手段來同別人、同圖像和數(shù)據(jù)庫系統(tǒng)，以及同復(fù)雜的機(jī)器打交道。

4.

正確答案：銀行業(yè)務(wù)將不通過現(xiàn)金和支票處理，一個(gè)人的信譽(yù)將高于他的門第出身。

正確答案：信息革命也面臨同樣的情形，沒有通訊鏈接，信息革命是不可能取得進(jìn)展的。

1．當(dāng)你設(shè)法弄清消費(fèi)信息技術(shù)將向何處發(fā)展以及這對(duì)社會(huì)意味著什么時(shí)，要記住這個(gè)重要的核心事實(shí)：人們只是想看更多的電視節(jié)目。

2．就像其他每個(gè)消費(fèi)電子產(chǎn)品公司做的那樣，索尼公司在最近的消費(fèi)類電子產(chǎn)品展會(huì)上推出大量產(chǎn)品，這些產(chǎn)品是用來把網(wǎng)絡(luò)視頻放到電視上。在同時(shí)舉行的Macworld展會(huì)上，蘋果公司總裁史蒂夫·喬布斯推出具有同樣功能的蘋果電視。

3．從那時(shí)到現(xiàn)在，基本而明顯的事實(shí)是處理器的功能不斷提高和帶寬的不斷增大，而預(yù)言家們已經(jīng)自信地預(yù)測(cè)了這一天。正如他們自信地預(yù)言它的含義：傳統(tǒng)的電視節(jié)目會(huì)被替代。

4．實(shí)際情況卻正好相反。盡管網(wǎng)絡(luò)時(shí)代有其他多種選擇，我們美國(guó)人如今看的無聊電視卻比以往任何時(shí)候都多，這就說明了問題。

5．關(guān)于電視，沒有人比著名的《紐約客》雜志評(píng)論家E.B.懷特的評(píng)價(jià)更恰當(dāng)。他在1938年寫道：“我們的好壞將取決于電視，這一點(diǎn)我敢肯定。”正確答案：1.Asyoutrytofigureoutwhereconsumerinfotechisgoing,andwhatitmeansforsociety,rememberthisbig,centralreality:Peoplejustwantmoretelevision.

正確答案：描寫犯罪的小說的共同特點(diǎn)是它們都對(duì)犯罪感興趣，但題材范圍廣泛，體裁變化多種多樣，所以堪稱文學(xué)的一個(gè)獨(dú)立分支，或者至少要被視為是傳統(tǒng)小說中的一個(gè)盡管名聲有點(diǎn)不好但卻別具一格的支脈。

2.

正確答案：在上流社會(huì)中，人命案件出現(xiàn)可能要比料想的更頻繁、更神秘；但是，這些事件的案發(fā)地點(diǎn)——村莊、海濱勝地、學(xué)院或工作室，卻是我們所熟悉的：即使不是我們親身經(jīng)歷，至少也是報(bào)上登載或出現(xiàn)在朋友們的生活之中的。

3.

正確答案：精心安排、結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)密的情節(jié)，盡管受到現(xiàn)代唯理智論的批評(píng)家和“有重大意義的”小說的創(chuàng)作者們的鄙視，但卻在描寫謀殺案件的偵探小說中找到了庇護(hù)所，這種小說有一些關(guān)鍵的情節(jié)，以看來顯然不可能的事情來增添趣味，故事結(jié)束時(shí)又全部有妥善的解決辦法與說明。

4.

正確答案：連續(xù)不斷的拳擊戰(zhàn)、手槍決斗、撞車和逃出裝滿汽油的地窖，要比至少有兩根肋骨被打折、一只眼睛被打腫、遍體鱗傷并宿醉未醒，卻仍然能夠以摔跤運(yùn)動(dòng)員一樣的體格追擊并制服武裝歹徒的英雄人物更能使讀者精疲力竭。

5.

正確答案：也許在驚險(xiǎn)小說中，我們領(lǐng)略不到那沉著冷靜的調(diào)查員幾經(jīng)周折和失敗最終安全地引領(lǐng)我們找出嫌疑犯的安全感。此時(shí)，使我們感到迷惑的一切都無可爭(zhēng)議地得以澄清，正義和善良取得絕對(duì)勝利。

人們說，不勞則無獲。然而，要是勞而無獲呢?不管走到美國(guó)什么地方，你都能聽到公司復(fù)蘇的故事。但是，更加難以確定的是商家自認(rèn)為他們?yōu)樘岣呱a(chǎn)效益而進(jìn)行的這場(chǎng)革命是否真的名副其實(shí)。

官方的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字多少有些令人沮喪。數(shù)據(jù)表明，如果把制造業(yè)和服務(wù)業(yè)放在一起，自1987年以來，生產(chǎn)率平均每年上升1.2%，這是1978～1987年度平均增長(zhǎng)指數(shù)的兩倍。令人困擾的是，近來出現(xiàn)的增長(zhǎng)一定程度上是因?yàn)樵诿總€(gè)商業(yè)周期運(yùn)作中，出現(xiàn)常見的反彈造成的。因此，還不能以此作為結(jié)論性的證據(jù)來證明在這趨勢(shì)的背后呈現(xiàn)出經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇的態(tài)勢(shì)。正如財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)羅伯特·魯賓所言，商業(yè)界大量神話說生產(chǎn)率大幅度提高了，這與官方統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字所顯示的情景并不符合。

有些是很好的解釋。組織工作場(chǎng)所的新辦法——這一切包括機(jī)構(gòu)重組和縮小規(guī)?！皇谴龠M(jìn)某一經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)體的綜合生產(chǎn)率水平的一項(xiàng)措施，還有許多其他因素驅(qū)動(dòng)生產(chǎn)率的提高。比如，對(duì)機(jī)械設(shè)備的聯(lián)合投資、采用新技術(shù)、教育培訓(xùn)投資。另外，公司進(jìn)行的大多數(shù)改革以贏利為目的，這一要求并不總是意味著提高生產(chǎn)率，轉(zhuǎn)入新的市場(chǎng)或提高產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量可以收到同樣的效果。

另外兩種解釋就更是純理論的了。一種解釋認(rèn)為，近年來一些企業(yè)的改組并未奏效；另一種解釋說，即使奏效了，也沒有像人們想象的那樣廣泛推廣了。

哈佛大學(xué)學(xué)者倫納德·施萊辛格是迅速壯大的美味面包連鎖店的前任總裁。他說，大多數(shù)的“企業(yè)改組”都不成熟。他還認(rèn)為，多數(shù)企業(yè)效益上的損失遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出成本的降低。他的同事邁克爾·比爾說，為數(shù)更多的公司以簡(jiǎn)單機(jī)械的方式進(jìn)行機(jī)構(gòu)重組，降低了成本，但是，對(duì)長(zhǎng)期贏利缺乏充分考慮。BBDO的阿爾·羅森賽恩更不客氣，他對(duì)重組顧問們做的大量工作不屑一顧，因?yàn)槟切┩耆抢?/p>
