4 How much do you think national culture is reflected in sports? I believe participating in sports is a very important way to publicize, popularize and develop a national culture. Through sports, the nation shows its sporting spirit, and also the condition of its sports facilities, which indicate the general quality of life. For example, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and Para-Olympics were successful sporting events which showed how the Chinese nation is keen to implement its motto of “One World, One Dream”.

Hale Waihona Puke Secondary schooling in Canada differs depending on what province one lives in. Normally it follows the American pattern, however in Quebec, for instance, high school lasts five years and is started earlier and finished at a younger age than elsewhere in Canada. In Quebec most students follow high school by attending a college of general and vocational education, which is comparable to a junior college, and which is obligatory for Quebec students wishing to go on to university in Quebec.

Introduction
High school, or secondary school, is the last segment of compulsory education in the United States, Canada, China, Korea and Japan. It provides a secondary education.

新编大学英语2 课文翻译Unit 1善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯∙ J ∙布洛克1随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。
他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。
我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。
对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。
他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。
2要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。
因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。
但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。
”3我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。
不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。
即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。
对他来说这是一种自豪。
4当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。
这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。
一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。
曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。
5一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。
他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。
6他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。
他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。
如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。
7由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。
但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。
8尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。
当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。
他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。
他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。

一个疑惑不解的小孩提的一个问题促使卡尔·格林思考：虽然他没有贵重的财物，但他在其他许多方面却是富有的。
富足的一生卡尔·格林首次面对这个问题，是在2003年12月初，我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。
当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外，对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。
一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。
她在钱包里摸着找钱时，孩子抬头看了我一眼，问我：“你穷吗？”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇，时至今日仍历历在目。
“嗯，”我结结巴巴，边想边回答，“我比有些人拥有的多，但比其他人拥有的少。
”母亲因为孩子问了一个在社交上不该问的问题，训斥了他一顿，他俩便匆匆地赶去购物。
但是孩子的问题却一直在我的心头挥之不去。
我从不认为自己“穷”，但有些事我不可否认。
每当我填1040税务申报表时，我都属于收入最低的档次之一。
在过去的三十五年中，我只出去度过一次假。
我的电视机是黑白的，还是八年前别人送给我的。
然而，想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西，对我来说，只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。
我的汽车是1999年的产品，到现在开了十万五千英里，已经很破很旧了，但是它依然可靠。
我的住房不大，但是很安静，住着挺舒心。
我的衣服很适合于我的工作，主要都在户外。
我对计算机的很少的需求，可以在图书馆得到解决。
尽管有些东西我没有，我并不感到贫穷。
这是为什么？五十三年来我一直非常健康。
我不但不生病，而且精力充沛，情绪饱满。
锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事，我乐意长距离步行，越走越有劲。
我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。
我还十分珍惜我的创作才能。
当我写出美丽的诗句或编造出能把人逗乐的笑话时，我内心感到很富有。
通过写作而获得的洞察力，不断地令我惊奇。
而与那么多写作朋友交谈，是我乐趣的主要源泉之一。
但是在我生活中，有一个重要方面我并不那么富有。
在一个对物资财富的追求投入如此之多心力的社会中，我觉得很不自在。

While we shouldbe careful to avoid the difference, they do appear to exist. In China,for example, greater is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, , place more emphasis on creativity in youngchildren, leaving them to , skills later. American parents tend to avoidrushing in to their children as they try to a task,thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Suchan approach can, , be mistaken for one’s parental dutiesby those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantage, and it may well be to search fora , method that would combine the best of both worlds.The real challenge to us teachers is combining the best of both worlds into one.Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means toan , rather than simply as ends in themselves. Some Chinese studentsmay not well in hypothetical settings, but when it comes to real life challenges and issues, they are more than in resolving mostof them, as they are with their strong skills. The U.S. system may be to aim more at producing top of the cream students, but that may dodamage to the big bulk of the of the student body. The Chineseeducation system is not perfect, but it dose produce a workforce. And I truly believe that solid basic knowledge skill focus is the singlebiggest force driving the rise of China as a country.If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was .Most of what he owns is rather and he will readily admit to the bottom income . Yet he would that he is poor, for hefeels that his life is full of less riches. Rather than devoting himselfto the of money before all else, he the pleasures offriendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make himfeel in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurtwhen he remembers the departure of a girlfriend who did not share hisviews. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his on helpingthe poor through collecting each Christmas.How does spending connect to happiness?One explanation lies in “conspicuous consumption’. The idea is that the richdon’t accumulate wealth in order to it. Rather they accumulate wealthin order to display it, and their happiness is by their neighbors’envy.As a result, the country finds itself in the grips of a “luxury fever”- familieswith incomes of $50,000 try to emulate the consumption of those with$70,000, who in turn try to emulate those with $140,000, and so on.It’s just common sense. It’s impossible for a piece ofpaper like money to make you happy. Instead, what makes people happy is the feelingof or power money brings.A recent survey that those from the Forbes list of the 400 richestAmericans and the Maasai of East Africa are almost satisfied. The Maasaiare a herding people who have no electricity or running water and livein huts made f mud..It that economic development and personal income cannot account forthe happiness that they are so often linked to.Our dad is of the older generation. You can certainly say he givesourhis attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard.To be , he seems to have a for embarrassing us by making remarks. He should , but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes . The result is that we live in constant of his well-intentioned in our affairs. Mom is on help, as you can she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ous. Overall,though, he’s a wonderful dad and I you I wouldn’t trade him foranyone in the world.A new research study has found that, what parents might believe, thereis an enormous gap between what they think their children are doing online and whatishappening.In one part of the study, over 500 children from a variety of ages and backgroundswere asked if they gave out personal information online. 73% said that they did.The parents of thechildren believed that only 4% of their children did so.The children were also asked if they had made face-to face withstrangers that they had met online. 36% from the high school group admitted to meetingwith a stranger they had met online. Nearly 40% of these children tospeaking with strangers regularly. Fewer than 9% of the parents knew that theirchildren had been meeting with strangers.Another part of the study found that 30% of children between the ages of 9 and18 delete the search history from their browsers in an to protect theirprivacy from their parents. Common filtering software may be effective,since children will access what they are looking for elsewhere – at a friend’shouse, an internet café, or school. One problem lies in the fact that parents don’tknow much about using popular online software and chat programs, andTo have no clue about what is really happening online. This lack of knowledge onthe parents’part may be no from the situation before the arrival of theweb. Parents don’t know what their children are doing on the Net, in the same that they don’t know what goes on at class, parties, or clubs.With the we can escape into another world at the of abutton. For many this world is a dream come true. They find they cando away with the daily and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a Internet is slow and everythingat a snail’s space. The computer does not your messages nor does itout. Still others, who get the virtual world, may findcommunicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. they feelthis so strongly that they have to from real human contact, hurryingto get back to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.I live in a small coastal town of 398 people located halfway between San Franciscoand the Oregon border. The nearest traffic light is nine miles north of Mendocino;its closestto the south is over 90 miles away. The nearest four-lane highway is 58 miles east.Federal Express doesn’t here on Saturdays.But there is Internet here. It enables me to work at home, writingcomputer books and articles for computer magazines. It enables local students andhistorian to conduct research. It local businesses –inns, music stores,driving schools – to reach new. It enables local people to enjoy the benefits of email and the ofwebsites and chat rooms.In fact, because small towns have few people, few stores, and few libraries andschools, you could argue that the Internet more benefits to small townsthat it does to big cities. But Internet service providers are not interested in markets. What they are interested in is making money. As a result, people in manysmall towns and areas are unable to keep up with the development of technology.3.Translation (Chinese => English)1)背离传统需要极⼤的勇⽓。

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passedonto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English.

All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

Warming Up
William
Sydney
Porter
(September 11, 1862 – June 5,
1910), known by his pen name O.
Henry, was an American short
story writer, who wrote about the
Warming Up
➢ The Furnished Room is perhaps the bleakest of O. Henry’s best-known stories. The basic ironic plot can be summarized in a sentence — a young man commits suicide in the same room where a young woman for whom he has vainly searched killed herself. The fact that the young man ends up in the very same room in which his lost sweetheart took her life is one of the most extreme coincidences in all of O. Henry’s fiction. It is a story of transience, of lives that move through a bleak, indifferent world, leaving only bits of themselves.
Warming Up
➢The Gift of the Magi is about a young couple who are short of money but desperately want to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unbeknownst to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim’s watch; while unbeknownst to Della, Jim sells his own most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della’s hair. The essential premise of this story has been copied, re-worked, parodied, and otherwise re-told countless times in the century since it was written.

Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks,the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just lookat them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks,tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So justlook at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.1.

You can't accomplish yourgoal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as ifI'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2)The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. Fromwhat she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. Shehas just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they applyto both Chinese and overseas teachers.3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art representtwo extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected toeffectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the otherhand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totallyunstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guidedapproach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approachcombines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot expressyourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.U2Text AA Life Full of RichesI. Vocabulary1.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believethat English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: theIndo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

Whereas2 in some other countries attending meetings is not considered very important, in this country, and especially in this company, meetings must be attended on time. Not being on time causes inefficiency. I spent all night thinking about the exact wordsthat I would use to explain my feelings. I even wrote my words down.

suppose，have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children．And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book．Either the author has aimed too 3 ，so that the children can't follow what is in his （or more often，her）story， 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers．The best children's books are 5 very difficult nor very simple，and satisfy both the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it．Unfortunately，there are in fact 8 books like this，9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 10 to solve．This may be why many of books regarded as 11 of children's literature were in fact written for 12 ．“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 13 of this．Children，left for themselves，often 14 the worst possible interest in literature．Just leave a child in bookshop or 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way，or have a look at most children's comics，full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents．Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 18 our taste in literature．After all children and adults are so 19 that we parents should

too sure of himself．One evening at dinner the passengers started talking about culture pearls（人工养殖珍珠）the Japanese were making，Mr．Kelada rushed the new topic：“I'm going to Japan just to look into the Japanese pearl business．I'm in the trade and I know all the best pearls in the world．They'll never be able to get a culture pearl that an expert like me can't tell with half an eye．” He pointed to the chain that Mrs．Ramsay wore．“You take my word for it，Mrs．Ramsay，that chain you're wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now．”Mrs．Ramsay in her modest way flushed（脸红）a little and slipped the chain inside her dress．Mr．Ramsay leaned forward．He gave us all a look，and a smile shone in his eyes．“That's a pretty chain，isn't it？”“I noticed it at once，” answered Mr．Kelada．“Gee，I said to myself，those are pearls all right．”“I didn't buy it myself，of course．I'd be interested to know how much you think it cost．”“Oh，in the trade somewhere round fifteen thousand dollars．But if it was bought on Fifth Avenue I shouldn't be surprised to hear that anything up to thirty thousand was paid for it．”Mr．Ramsay smiled grimly．“You'll be surprised to hear that Mrs．Ramsay bought that string at a department store the day before we left New York，for eighteen dollars．”Mr．Kelada flushed．“N onsense．It's not only real，but it's as fine a string for its size as I've ever seen．”“Will you bet（打赌）on it？I'll bet you a hundred dollars that it's imitation．”“Done．”“Oh，Elmer，you can't bet on a certainty，” said Mrs．Ramsay．She had a little smile on her lips，and her tone was gently showing strong disagreement．“Can't I? If I get a chance of earn money like that I should be all sorts of a fool not to take it．”“But how can it be proved？” she continued．“It's only my word against Mr．Kelada's”．“Let me look at the chain，and if it's imitation，I'll tell you quickly enough．I can afford to lose a hundred dollars，” said Mr．Kelada．“Take it off，dear．Let the gentleman look at it as much as he wants．”Mrs．Ramsay hesitated a moment．She put her hands to the clasp（项链扣）．“I can't undo it，” she said．“Mr．Kelada will just have to take my word for it．”I had a sudden suspicion that something unfortunate was about to occur，but I could think of nothing to say．Mr．Ramsay jumped up．“I'll undo it．”He handed the chain to Mr．Kelada．The man took a magnifying glass from his pocket and closely examined it．A smile of triumph spread over his smooth and rather dark-coloured face．He handed back the chain．He was about to speak．Suddenly he caught sight of Mrs．Ramsay's face．Itwas so white that she looked as though she were about to faint．She was staring at him with wide and terrified eyes．They held a desperate appeal（恳求）；it was so clear that I wondered why her husband did not see it．Mr．Kelada stopped with his mouth open．He flushed deeply．You could almost see the effort he was making over himself．“I was mistaken，” he said．“It's a very good imitation…” He handed Mr．Ramsay a hundred-dollar note without a word．I noticed that Mr．Kelada's hands were trembling．1．At the start of the story，Mr．Kelada is found boasting about his skill in _____ A．recognizing culture pearls from real ones．B．predicting the rise and fall of pearl market．C．examining pearls with half an eye．D．estimating the price of any jewel．2．What result did Mrs．Ramsay desperately want the bet to end with？Why？_____ A．She wanted Mr．Kelada to win because she wanted her pearls to turn out real．B．She expected her husband to lose because he had forced her to take her chain off．C．She wished that Mr．Kelada would lose because she didn't want her husband to know the truth．D．She desperately hoped her husband would win because she didn't want him to lose $100．3．When Mrs．Ramsay put on a look of "desperate appeal" she _____．A．was afraid that her husband would lose $100B．appealed to her husband not to bet on certaintyC．wanted both to calm down and give up the betD．was worried that Mr．Kelada would tell the truth4．Mr．Kelada admitted that he was mistaken；he lost the bet because _____．A．he was an expert on pearls，but this time the imitation was too goodB．he didn't want the narrator to detect his sympathy with Mrs．RamsayC．he wanted to help Mrs．Ramsay out even though it was a painful thing to doD．he wasn't really very skilled in distinguishing between culture pearls and real ones 5．Which of the following is NOT a reason why Mr．Kelada's hands were trembling when he gave Mr．Ramsay the money？_____A．He was sorry to part with the hundred dollars．B．He knew he was right and yet，he had to say he was wrong．C．As an expert on pearls it was painful to admit he had made a mistake．D．It hurt his pride to be beaten by someone who didn't know much about pearls．附参考答案Passage 1Passage 2“No man is an island，” wrote th e poet John Donne several centuries ago．He was acknowledging one of our most distinctive characteristics：the fact that we are social animals whose behavior and personalities are shaped by the groups to which we belong．Throughout life，most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others．Whether our purpose is working，playing，raising a family，learning，or simply relaxing，we usually pursueit in groups，even if the group is as small as two or three people．Our need for human contacts is not merely a practical one；it is a deep psychological need as well．If people are deprived of the company of others for prolonged periods，mental breakdown is the usual result．Even the Geneva Convention（日内瓦公约），an international agreement that regulates the treatment of prisoners of war，recognizes this need．It regards solitary（孤独的）imprisonment for more than thirty days as a cruel form of torture（折磨）．In its strictest sense，a group is a collection of people interacting together in an orderly way on the basis of shared expectations about one another's behavior．As a result of this interaction，members feel a common sense of “belonging”．They distinguish members from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior from outsiders．1．By "No man is an island，" John Donne means _____．A．no one can live on an island aloneB．a man is not surrounded by sea on all sidesC．a man and an island are irrelevantD．no one can live in isolation from other people2．The fact that we work or even play in groups illustrates the point that _____．A．people are different from animalsB．Donne recognized the group to which he belongedC．human beings are social animalsD．human behavior and personalities are formed by others3．"Breakdown" as used in Line 5，Paragraph 2 most probably denotes _____．A．separationB．collapseC．analysisD．function4．According to the passage，what is NOT a characteristic of a group？_____ A．There are at least two people in it．B．The members share some common grounds．C．The members work for one purpose．D．The members interact regularly with each other．5．This passage is mainly about _____．A．the importance of human contactsB．patterns of human behaviorC．the importance of human activitiesD．patterns of human society附参考答案Passage 3Studies show that the world in 2020 will be more crowded，more polluted and less stable ecologically（在生态方面）than the world we live in now．Visible ahead is serious stress involving population，resources and environment．Despite greater food output，people in the world will be poorer in many ways than they are today．For hundreds of millions of the extremely poor，the outlook for food and other necessities of life will be no better．For many it will be worse．While the economies of the developing countries are expected to grow at a faster rate than those of the industrialized nations，the total national product per head in most less developed countries remains low．The existing gap between the rich and poor nations will further widen．World food production is estimated to increase by 90 percent from 1970 to 2020．Most of that increase goes to the countries that already have relatively higher per-head food consumption（消费）．Meanwhile，per-head consumption of food in the developing countries will scarcely improve or will actually fall far below the present inadequate level．What is worse is prices for food are expected to double．As a result，many less developed countries will have increasing difficulties meeting energy needs．For the one quarter of mankind that depends primarily on wood for fuel，the outlook is not hopeful．Regional water shortage will become more severe．In the 1970-2020 period population growth will require twice as much water as it does today in nearly half the world．Still greater increases would be needed to improve standards of living．Development of new water supplies will become more costly．1．According to the passage，in 2020 while output of food will be greater，_____．A．people will have sufficient food suppliesB．the world resources will become more than enoughC．in most developing countries people will have less food than they have todayD．the living standards of the world's population will improve greatly2．According to the author，in 2020 for many poor people，_____．A．things will get even worseB．things will be a little betterC．it will be necessary for them to improve their housingD．it will be impossible to obtain enough necessities of life3．In the 1970-2020 period，the large proportion of global increase of food production goes_____．A．to 90 percentB．to developing countriesC．to any country in the world that needs itD．to those countries that already have high per head consumption4．How does the author predict the development of new water supplies in the future？_____ A．Water shortage will occur in some regions only．B．Development of new water supplies will be more expensive．C．The less developed countries need more water than the developed ones．D．The demand for water will double with the growing population．5．Which of the following may best serve as the title of this passage？_____A．The Future Problems in the World．B．Water and Air Pollution．C．Water and Food Shortages．D．Food Production and Consumption．附参考答案Passage 3（一）汉译英1．我不喜欢这痛楚，可是我忍受得住。
