新时期中美关系的主旋律
新时期中美关系的主旋律一一外交部副部长崔天凯的演讲On the Theme of China-US Relations in the New Era--Address by Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai大家好！很高兴来到“蓝厅论坛”，与各位就新时期的中美关系进行交流。
Good afternoon. It is a great pleasure to have an exchange with you on China-US relations in the new era.回顾中美建交三十多年来的历程，不难看到：A review of our diplomatic relations over the past 30 years and more shows that:中美之间的交往日趋密切，彼此关系的基调更加积极。
政治上，两国不再相互敌对，而是积极谋求战略合作。
经贸上，两国不再老死不相往来，双方已互为第二大贸易伙伴。
军事上，两国不再是战场的对手，两军已在许多领域开展务实交流。
盖茨国防部长近日成功访华，促进了两军关系发展。
China and the United States have increasingly closer exchanges and our relationship is striking a more positive tone. Politically, we are no longer antagonistic towards each other. On the contrary, we are vigorously pursuing strategic cooperation. Economically, we are no longer cut off from each other. Rather, we have become each other's second largest trading partner. On the military front, we are no longer adversaries on the battlefield. Instead, the two militaries are now engaged in practical exchanges in many fields. The recent successful visit to China by Secretary Gates gave a boost to the military-to-military relationship between the two countries.中美超越分歧、相互借鉴的意愿不断上升。
中美战略经济对话英文版
The White HouseOffice of the Vice PresidentFor Immediate ReleaseMay 09, 2011Remarks by Vice President Joe Biden to the Opening Session of theU.S.-China Strategic & Economic DialogueDepartment of the Interior Washington, D.C.9:50 A.M. EDTTHE VICE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Thank you. Thank you, all. It’s an honor to welcome back to Washington for the third meeting of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the United States and China, two good friends.Let me acknowledge the co-chairs at the outset here. Vice Premier Wang and State Counselor Dai, welcome back. I got an opportunity to spend some time with you -- not as much as my colleagues have -- but your trip with President Hu was a great visit, and we got a chance to spend some time together.The United States co-chairs are our A-Team, our superstars: Secretary Clinton and Secretary Geithner, two of the best America has to offer, so we expect great things to happen. We expect great things to happen with the four of you.Ladies and gentlemen, we each have a number of important tasks in the days ahead and all designed to continue to guide our relationship to an even better place than it’s already moved.I also would like to recognize, by the way, Secretary Gary Locke, the President’s choice to be our next ambassador to China. Gary has served with distinction in the Cabinet, as well as before that serving as the governor of the state of Washington. And I know that once the Senate confirms Gary, and I expect that to be quickly, he’ll do an outstanding job in Beijing.(Applause.) There he is.And I’m not going to mention the Trade Representative sitting next to you because I told him if he was able to deliver a deal on -- with Korea, I would nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. (Laughter.) He did and I have to. (Laughter.)Any rate, I’ve made my -- I hate to acknowledge this, gentlemen, but I made my first trip to China as a young man, meeting with Deng Xiaoping in 1979, in April of ’79.I was privileged to be with what I guess I’m now part of, a group of very senior senators at that time.I think we were the first delegation to meet after normalization -- with senators like Jacob Javits of New York, and Frank Church, and a number of other very prominent members.And on that trip when we met with then Vice Premier Deng and witnessed the changes that were being initiated, beginning to spark China’s remarkable -- absolutely remarkable transformation, even back then it was clear that there was -- that great things were happening. And there was also a debate --there was a debate here in the United States and quite frankly throughout most of the West as whether a rising China was in the interest of the United States and the wider world. As a young member of a Foreign Relations Committee, I wrote and I said and I believed then what I believe now: That a rising China is a positive, positive development, not only for China but for America and the world writ large.When President Obama and I took office in January of 2009 we understood -- we understood absolutely clearly that our relationship with China would be a key priority. The President and I were determined -- determined to set the relationship on a stable course that could be sustained for decades. Our two countries, now the world’s two largest economies, were bound by ever-growing ties of commerce and investment. We, the United States, we always talk about what we import; we, the United States, exported $110 billion in American goods and services to China last year.But we’re bound my much more than commerce.Over the last three decades, our people have become increasingly linked through education, through work and through travel. Last year, 130,000 Chinese were studying in the United States. They’re really good.We’re going to try to keep some of them. I’m only joking.I’m only joking.(Laughter.) But they are. (Laughter.)We cannot claim the same number of Americans in China, but our 100,000 Strong Initiative will dramatically increase the number of young Americans living and studying in China. As a matter of fact, my niece who -- excuse me, as we say in the Senate, a point a personal privilege -- who graduated from Harvard not too long ago, works for Secretary Geithner, she did exactly what we hope another 100,000 will do: She studied Chinese and went and lived in China and is now devoted to making sure the relationship gets better and better and better.And we’re linked by our shared global res ponsibilities. We both serve as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. We’re both Pacific powers.And for many of the world’s pressing challenges, it’s a simple fact, that when the United States and China are not at the table, the sol ution to the problem is less possible than when we are at the table. It’s no exaggeration to say that our relationship and how we manage it will help shape the 21st century.Our commitment starts at the top. Our Presidents have met face-to-face nine times in two and a half years. Nine times. President Hu, as I mentioned, was just here in January for what all would acknowledge was a very successful state visit. I’ll go back to China this summer at the invitation of Vice President Xi, and I’m look ing forward to hosting the Vice President for a reciprocal visit later this year.Even these frequent visits and summits, though, as you all know, are not enough on their own to sustain and build a relationship across our entire government, across all agencies. That's why we’re here. It’s not merely, merely our mil-to-mil or economic issues. We want to build a relationship across the entire spectrum of our governments. That’s why we’ve asked all of you to come together for these dialogues.When President Obama launched the first strategic and economic dialogue in 2009, he issued a challenge to all of us to work together to address some of the defining problems of our time. Some would say that's somewhat presumptuous for China and the United States to decide we’re going to workon the defining problems, but as I said earlier, how we cooperate will define in significant part how we deal with the challenges that the world face in the beginning of the 21st century.This is at the heart of our effort to build a cooperative partnership. We seek to cooperate to advance our mutual interests in not only promoting economic growth that is strong, sustainable and balanced, but trade that is free and is fair. We seek cooperation to advance our mutual interests in the prosperous future that will come from an energy supply that's clean and secure and addresses climate change.And we seek to cooperate to advance our mutual interests in a range of pressing global and regional security challenges. This includes continuing our work to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and specifically to curb proliferation of those weapons and technology from both Iran and North Korea.Where do we stand two years after the President issued his challenge that we cooperatemore? Through this dialogue and the dedicated efforts of our governments and our people, I believe history will show we’ve made progress.But there's much more to do, and that's why we’re here.Along with our partners in the G20, we’ve worked to sustain global economic recovery. We’ve recognized that the United States-China relations generate global economic benefit, not just to both our countries, but global benefit.Last year our trade with China supported over 500,000 jobs here in the United States, and we made tangible progress during President Hu’s visit, especially in the areas of innovation, intellectual property, and exports, all of which we’re following up on.Over the next two days, we need to build on this momentum and to make sure our commitments are aggressively implemented so we can continue to move.You may have noticed that there is a debate in this nation how best to secure America’s long-term fiscal future. We know that overcoming our economic challenges begin at home. We in the United States have to restore financial stability and we need to make the investments necessary, as well, to win the future. We need to maintain our commitment to what we believe, the President believes, is the pillars of our economic future: education, innovation, and infrastructure.I know that you’re adjusting to your economy in the world situation as well.I know that in China you're working to rebalance your economy and make growth more sustainable, with greater reliance on domestic demand. None of this is easy. But success in re-orienting growth will be not only good for China, in our humble opinion, but it will be good for the United States and for the rest of the world.The United States and China a re the world’s largest producers and consumers of energy and we share the common challenges that flow from that. And this creates not only a problem, but great opportunity -- great opportunity for common efforts to find clean energy solutions. Secretary Chu likes to say -- and I love this expression -- “Science is not a zero-sum game.”Science is not a zero-sum game. That amply is illustrated by the remarkable cooperation we've begun to forge in this area. Let me just mention one example.Our joint Clean Energy Research Center is funding new approaches to energy efficiency, clean coal -- which we both need to deal with -- and clean vehicles. We need to build on and expand our efforts in this area, and I know you’ll be doing -- having much discussion these next two days on that area, and it seems to me an area where there’s potential for great progress.On global security challenges, we've also made progress. President Hu joined us at the Nuclear Security Summit -- in January, we signed the memorandum of understanding to build a center for excellence to promote nuclear security in China. We have cooperated in stemming nuclear proliferation from both Iran and North Korea, including preventing sensitive technologies from being exported to both those countries.The strategic dialogue is important to both our countries. Just look at the agenda that you have for the next two days. It’s a fulsome agenda.To list just a few of the topics on the agenda for the next two days -- and it illustrates the sheer breadth of our relationship: Climate change; clean energy; mil-to-mil operations -- our military relationships; regional issues such as Sudan and Afghanistan.Our goal -- our goal, in part, is to enhance the communication and understanding that we believe, and I believe you believe, will build trust and confidence. We have to be honest with each other. We are not going to agree on everything; we will clearly find areas where there will still be disagreement. But as we work to advance our respective national interest, we have to move on what we seek in common, find the common ground, and I would argue much of our mutual national interest will find common ground. But only by discussing a diverse range of topics, including sensitive ones, can we help mitigate the risk of misperception and miscalculation.My father used to say the only disagreement worse than one that is intended is one that is unintended. That's why it’s so critically important we talk to one another honestly.We should be realistic; we won't always be able to work together. In some areas we have vigorous disagreement. In some we'll have vigorous competition. In still others we'll have vigorous collaboration.But I believe on balance we have much more to agree on than to disagree on, and so does the President believe that. A healthy competition, in our view, is good for both of us. Competition is not bad. Competition that’s healthy is good.This is the reason why I’ve held the view for so many years and continue t o hold the view that a rising China is a positive development. As you might expect, it’s my -- I have overwhelming confidence in the capabilities of the American people. And those capabilities are enhanced when there’s genuine competition from equally capable people. I welcome this healthy and fair competition because I believe we’ll see it will spur us both to innovate and both will benefit from it.As I’ve said earlier, it’s important to be straightforward with one another.There is one area where we have vigorous disagreement. And I know and I understand that disagreement, when we voice it, is upsetting or rankles -- I don’t know how that translates into Chinese -- but how it concerns some of our friends in China. We have vigorous disagreement in the area of human rights.We’ve noted our concerns about the recent crackdown in China, including attacks, arrests and the disappearance of journalists, lawyers, bloggers and artists. And again, no relationship that’s real can be built on a false foundation. Where we disagree, it’s important to state it.We’ll continue to express our views in these issues, as we did in the Human Rights Dialogue in Beijing two weeks ago.Now, look, as I said, I recognize that some in China see our advocacy as -- human rights as an intrusion and Lord only knows what else. But President Obama and I believe strongly, as does the Secretary, that protecting fundamental rights and freedoms such as those enshrined in China’s international commitments, as well as in China’s o wn constitution, is the best way to promote long-term stability and prosperity of any society.The transformation of China’s economy and society since my first trip as a young man in 1979 has truly been breathtaking. I doubt whether it’s occurred at any other period in world history -- it’s been so significant and so rapid. The immense talent of the Chinese people, the incredible hard work and perseverance of the Chinese people and their leaders have literally lifted tens of millions of people out of po verty and built an economy that now helps fuel the world’s prosperity.It’s remarkable.During this same period, the relationship between the United States and China has also seen a remarkable transformation -- again, through the talent, hard work and respected political leaders who have governed our countries over the last three decades.The bonds between our country -- our countries come about through -- have come about through intense engagement from the moment of normalization -- events like this one. We’ve already done much to make our relationship positive, cooperative, and comprehensive. And I’m absolutely confident that we can do more for ourselves and for generations of Americans and Chinese as well.And as I said, presumptuous of me to say this, if that occurs and continues to occur, it will benefit the whole world. So now it’s time to get to work.Again, welcome, gentlemen; welcome to your delegations. And I thank you all for the honor of being able to address you. Thank you very much. (Applause.)END10:07 A.M.

A,Matter,of,Continued,Consent
A,Matter,of,Continued,ConsentBy An GangOn July 26，visiting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman met with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng，respectively，in Tianjin. They were further diplomatic engagements between the two countries since their high-level strategic dialogue in Anchorage，the U.S.，in March.Ground rulesIn Anchorage，responding to the apparent U.S. sense of self-importance，China adhered to the standards of equal-footing diplomacy. During the Tianjin meetings，it further created a set of rules for the U.S. to abide by when dealing with bilateral ties.Wang told Sherman that China is firmly opposed to President Joe Bidens administrations continuation of its predecessors extreme and erroneous China policy. He underlined three basic demands for the U.S.，namely，not to challenge，slander or even attempt to subvert the path and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics；not to attempt to obstruct or interrupt Chinas development process；and not to infringe upon Chinas state sovereignty，or damage Chinas territorial integrity.“We have a clear idea where China-U.S. relations are headed；that is，to find a way for two major countries featuring different systems，cultures and stages of development to coexist peacefully on this planet through dialogue，” Wang said.During his four-hour talks with Sherman，Xie criticized the condescending manner of dealing with China from “a position of strength” on the part of the U.S. He also refuted baseless U.S. accusations against China over issues related to diplomatic strategy，COVID-19 pandemic origin tracing，Xinjiang，Hong Kong and cyber security.The vice minister then put forward two lists，one of the U.S. wrongdoings that must stop and the other of the key individual cases that China has concerns with.On her way to China，Sherman told reporters that guardrails must be in place to ensure that the U.S. and China do not get off-track and end up in conflict. Xie emphasized that the establishment of such guardrails must follow the principles of equality and mutual benefit.During her meeting with Wang，Sherman said the U.S. does not seek to contain Chinas development，and hopes that both countries will develop healthy petition，achieve peaceful coexistence，and cooperate on climate change，drug control，and international and regional hotspot issues，according to Xinhua News Agency. She reiterated that the U.S. abides by the one-China policy and does not support “Taiwanindependence.”Waning willingness？Since it took office in January，the Biden administration has conducted a thorough review of the United States China policy，described as “long-term and intense strategic petition” by the president. In addition，the U.S. has accelerated its global deployment to contain China. It has stressed that petition should start at home and the U.S. must inspire and enhance domestic petitiveness.The U.S. has also tried to enlist its allies to forge a “munity of values” against China，luring them in with promises of security. Other measures，such as technologydecoupling，financial sanctions and upgrading the so-called Indo-Pacific Strategy，have also been rolled out to restrain Chinas development.The direction of the Biden administrations China policy and the measures it has resorted to have prompted China to develop a more realistic view of the U.S.China no longer harbors any illusions that the Biden administration will turn around. Consequently，it is more determined to e the U.S. containment and gain equal treatment through tit-for-tat tactics.Prior to the meetings both in Anchorage and Tianjin，the U.S. imposed sanctions on Chinese officials and enterprises. For example，the U.S. Department of State issued its so-called Hong Kong Business Advisoryon July 16，and applied sanctions on seven deputy directors of the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In response，China on July 23 imposed sanctions on seven U.S. individuals and entities，citing the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law—adopted on June 10—for the first time ever. The main purpose of this new legislation is to provide a legal basis for China to hit back at any “discriminatorily restrictive measures” that may be imposed by foreign countries against Chinese organizations and citizens.Recently，there have been signals that the policy review process of the Biden administration has entered a new stage.On July 7，during an Asia Society event，Kurt Campbell，Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs with the U.S. National Security Council，reiterated his earlier announcement that the era of U.S. engagement with China is over and that the most dominant process will be petition，following his speech at an event hosted by Stanford University in May.Campbell，however，argued that the relationship between China and the U.S. should not be viewed as “a new cold war.” He added that the Biden administration would soon seek high-level contacts with China and talked about the possibility of a meeting between the two presidents on the sidelines of the Group of 20 Summit in Italy in October.Since the end of the Cold War in 1991，the U.S. has pursued astrategy of engagement with China. By integrating China into the U.S.-led international system，the outward goal is to change China and have it conform to U.S. values and interests.Campbells words give the impression that the U.S. expects to manage bilateral differences through limited diplomatic dialogue and munication in a bid to avoid catastrophic conflict. Shermans visit to Tianjin is part of Bidens bigger “keeping contacts with China” plan.Positive indicatorsTo some observers，the Tianjin meetings indicate that the China-U.S. relationship may continue deteriorating. Nevertheless，it is clear that the two sides still uphold two important consensuses. One is that the China-U.S. relationship is one of the most critical bilateral ties in the world，and neither of them can replace or defeat the other. So they must find a way to get along in a responsible manner. The other is that a sustained and sustainable diplomatic relationship is essential for the effective management of differences，the stabilization of relations，and the avoidance of conflicts.They are also fully aware of the significance of their cooperation in addressing major global and regional challenges.After the Biden administration took office，in addition to diplomatic dialogues，the economic and trade negotiation teams of China and the U.S. have conducted three rounds of consultations. Climate negotiators ofboth sides have also maintained close munication and have reached agreements on reducing carbon emissions.On July 28，Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Qin Gang told the press，as two big countries different in history，culture，social system and development stage，China and the U.S. are entering a new round of mutual exploration，understanding and adaptation，trying to find a way to get along with each other in the new era.“The China-U.S. relationship has once again e to a new critical juncture，facing not only many difficulties and challenges but also great opportunities and potential，” he said. “Where this important relationship will be headed is vital for the wellbeing of the Chinese and American peoples and for the future of the world. The two peoples and the international munity hope for a sound，stable and growing relationship between the two countries.”The more extensive the China-U.S. petition es，the more important the role of diplomacy is. It should be constructive and conducive to managing differences，avoiding conflict，promoting the alignment of interests and peaceful coexistence，and setting an example for the international munity to jointly respond to global challenges.

(专题)高一年级英语阅读理解专项训练(及答案)(50篇)
高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across. but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.1．According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?A．Reading and listening.B．Reading and writing.C．Writing and speaking.D．Speaking and listening.2．To improve your reading, when you read you should ________.A．look up all the new words in the dictionaryB．think about what you are reading activelyC．spend more time studying grammarsD．copy as many words and sentences as possible3．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”. A．meet B．discoverC．hear D．look for【答案】1．A2．B3．A【分析】这是一篇说明文。

She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.“It wasn‟t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,”Tiffany confesses. What she hadn‟t known atthe time of the interview was that the candidate‟s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,”Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions .Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .“During my Mindsets coaching session ,I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets .The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company .When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce . “Through one of the sessions ,I discovered my personal bias ,”he recalls . “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person , and being open to differences .”In his case , the blindness was not about culture but rather gender .“I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position , I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel .”Dale‟s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization‟s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .” Dale credits the workshop , “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .”Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops .He recalls amajor lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year . In my ignorance , I assumed he had his dates wrong , as the first of January had just passed . When I advised him of this , I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates .“He patiently waited , then when I was done , he said he would like Chinese New Year did not begin January first , and that Chinese New Year ,which is tied to the lunar cycle ,is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar . Needless to say , I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up . But I learned a great deal about assumptions , and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture .“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees , rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all ,”Doug admits . “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more …inclusive‟to differences.”A better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally , it is profitable as well . These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales .”Most of my customers speak English as a second language . One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone . It wasn‟t until my boss received Mindsets‟training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service . As result , our customer base has increased .”Once we start to see people as individuals . and discard the stereotypes , we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone . Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities . It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity .When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past , from the media, peers , family , friends , etc , we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values . We need to train our-selves to think differently , shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us ,creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone .1.What bothered Tiffany during an interview with her candidate?A)He just wouldn‟t look her in the eye.B)He was slow in answering her questions.C)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant.D)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant .2.

For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in themissing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exactwords you have just heard or write down the main points in your ownwords. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you shouldcheck what you have written .Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory. He(36) .on studying how quickly the human mind can remember (37) . One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis(假设), which simply means the amount you learn (38) on the time you spend trying to learn it . This can be taken as our first rule of learning.Although it is usually true that studying for four hours is better than studying for one, there is still the question of how we should use the four hours. For example, is it better to study for four hours (39) or to study for one hour a day for four days in a (40) ?. The answer, as you may have (41) , is that it is better to spread out the study times. This (42) , through which we can learn more(43) .by dividing our practice time, is known as the distribution of practice effect. Thus, (44).But we‟re not finished yet. We haven‟t considered how we should study over very short periods of time. (45).Should you look at the same word in rapid succession, or look at the word and then have some delay before you look at it again ?(46).Part IV Reading Comprehension (reading in depth) (25 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a wordbank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully beforemaking your choices. Each choice in bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.

They never write, unless assignments 47 it . They fine the writing process 48 and difficult.How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- 49 English , with its rich vocabulary . Being able to speak but not write is like living in an 50 mansion(豪宅) and never leaving one small room . When I meet students who think they can‟t write, I know as a teacher my 51 is to show them the rest of the rooms . My task is to build fluency while providing the opportunity inherent in any writing activity to 52 the moral and emotional development of my students . One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done 53 , just like exercise ; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise , writing skills improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise in student confidence and 54 after only a few weeks of journal writing .Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and 55 lives . They build skills sothat some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step 56 to fluency , eloquence (雄辩), and command of language .Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a singleline through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The January fashion show, called FutureFashion , exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to fine . “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren‟t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you‟re doing and shat your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last yearthe influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable . It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(过渡型的) cotton at higher prices , thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material . “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.Some analysts(分析师) are less sure . Among consumers, only 18%are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer, when asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I‟m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she‟s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn‟t too expensive.”By her own admission, green just isn‟t yet on her mind. But –thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers –one day it will be.57. What is said about FutureFashion?A) It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B) It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C) It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D) It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.58. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic isthat .A) much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials .B) they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials .C) customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials .D) quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available .59. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake greenfashion .A) can attend various trade shows free .B) are readily recognized by the fashion worldC) can buy organic cotton at favorable prices .D) are gaining more and more support .60. What is Natalie Hormilla‟s attitude toward ecofashion?A) She doesn‟t seem to care about it. C) She is doubtful of its practicalvalue.B) She doesn‟t think it is sustainable D) She is very much opposed to theidea61. What does the author think of green fashion?A) Green products will soon go mainstream.B) It has a very promising future.C) Consumers have the final say.D) It will appeal more to young people.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand(缕) of hair , a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims .The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people‟s hair.“You‟re what you eat and drink, and that‟s recorded in you hair,”said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah.While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as raid clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable , but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes(同位素) . The heaviest raid falls first .As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.Cerling‟s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a mop of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of raid systems.“It‟s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),”Cerling said . “It‟s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It‟s still a substantial area,” Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”62. What is the scientists‟ new discovery?A) One‟s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B) A person‟s hair may reveal where they have lived.C) Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.D) The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.63. What does the author mean by “You‟re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)?A) Food and drink affect one‟s personality development.B) Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C) Food and drink leave traces in one‟s body tissues.D) Food and drink are indispensable to one‟s existence.64. What is said about the rainfall in America‟s West?A) There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B) The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C) Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D) It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.65. What did Cerling‟s team produce in their research?A) A map showing the regional differences of tap water.B) A collection of hair samples from various barber shops.C) A method to measure the amount of water in human hair.D) A chart illustrating the movement of the rain system.66. What is the practical value of Cerling‟s research?A) It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B) It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C) It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.D) It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Kimiyuki Suda should be a perfect customer for Japan‟s car-makers.
