One day, he gave way to his temper,大发脾气 and cursed and swore 咒骂at Gregory, who had got into some mischief恶作剧, as children will;5. But he was a man who liked better to be angry than sorry, so he soon found out that it was all Gre gory‟s fault, and owed him an additional grudge怨恨 for having hastened加快 my birth.6. After a time, I overcame my original weakness of constitution体质, and was just a bonny健壮的, strong-looking lad whom every passer-by noticed, when my father took me with him to the nearest town.7. and utterly unreasonable as this may seem, I believe my father rather cherished his feeling of alienation 疏远to my brother as a duty, than strove to repress压迫 it.8. but the habit of being considered in all things, and being treated as something uncommon and superior, made me insolent无礼粗鲁的 in my prosperity, and I exacted more than Gregory was always willing to grant, and then, irritated, I sometimes repeated the disparaging诽谤侮辱的 words I had heard others use with regard to him, without fully understanding their meaning.9. “I can go no farther,” I said, in a drowsy昏昏欲睡的 tone. I remember I suddenly became dogged顽固的 and resolved.10. A look passed from one to another — my father‟s stern严肃的 old face strove in vain to keep its sternness; his mouth quivered,颤抖 his eyes filled slowly with unwonted少有的 tears.11. How, on that fatal致命的night, my father — irritated by my prolonged延长的absence, and probably more anxious than he cared to show, had been fierce and imperious, even beyond his wont, to Gregory; had upbraided责备 him with his father‟s poverty, his own stupidity which made his services good for nothing一无是处.19.。

The parents probably comforted them and gave them extra attention when they acted shy, so the children learned that being shy was a good way to get extra love and attention.. Now researchers say that apparently all three theories are true.Can shy people change their behavior Sometimes they can force themselves to do things that are different .”Practice makes perfect..”If they practice enough, the difficult situations become easier.

Isn’t logical that we will have more communication problems among people who do not share the same language andcultureCultures do not communicate; individuals do .

Even the busiest government official or executive always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this hospitality.“ The conference visit” is a way of doing business throughout the Arab ... Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.Making decision quickly is not an Arab custom.

Psychologists say that people of all skin colors blush. Women blush more than men, and young people blush more than older people. Some people blush only a few seconds, but the blush can appear and disappear for five or ten minutes in other people. Usually only the face or upper part of the body blushes.Blushing is related to general anxiety, when people feel worried and nervous about what is going to happen. Some people blush because they are always worried about what others think of them. They don’t have any confidence in themselves. They think other people are more attractive and more popular . They believe others have more knowledge . They become very uneasy if they have to deal with people from a different social background, or if they have to work with more intelligent or more skilled . Shy people get very anxious when they don’t know how to act in some situations that other people think are just ordinary. They feel inferior and want to get out of the situation.11.. Shy people blush because___________.A. they are worried about othersB. they are worried about what others think of them.C. they have special skin colors12. Shy people have a strong sense of the following except_________.A. inferiorityB. anxietyC. confidencePassage FiveIn 1968 the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had a problem. The city's school system needed a new school building and teachers but did not have the money to pay for this multi million-dollar project.City officials solved the problem in a unique way. They decided to use the many scientific and cultural institutions in the city as the classrooms. Experts who worked in the various institutions would be the teachers. Among these institutions were such prestigious names as the Franklin Institute, with its science museum, workshops, and classes; the Free Library, containing nearly a million volumes; the Academy of Natural Sciences, Fels Planetarium, and the Rodin Museum.The experiment in education, known as the Parkway Program, began in February 1969. John Bremer, an Englishman and education innovator, planned the program and became its director.The Program has grown in size from 142 to 500 high school students and is so popular that thousands of applicants are denied places each year. The Program gives a freedom to high school education never known before. To supplement basic courses required for a diploma languages, history, science m students may choose from more than a hundred other courses. Any subject will be offered if an instructor can be found. Every group of 15 boys and girls belongs to a "tutorial group", led by a teacher and one assistant. Students in the Program say that school is no longer a place but an interesting activity.About 100 institutions in Philadelphia m public, private, commercial m help the Program. During any one week students may be found in such diverse places as a bakery, a church or the municipal gas plant. Such places merely provide space for classrooms. Other institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania or the Temple University Medical School allow the Program's own faculty to teach in their laboratories or other facilities. Other establishments provide both classroom space and instruction. One pharmaceutical-manufacturing company, for example, conducts a chemistry course.In addition to their studies, students are encouraged to take part-time jobs. "The life of the city is our curriculum," says Director Bremer. "Life and learning are all part of the same process.” Learning is excitement in this experimental program but it is not meant for every child. The student must be able to handle the freedom and self-discipline that the Program demands for academic successChoose the best answer:13... What was the problem Philadelphia had in 1968a. Its school system needed a new school building.b. More teachers were needed for its school system.c. It lacked money for its educational project.d. Both a and b.14.. The word "unique" here means______________a. "very unusual"b. "proper"c. "ordinary"d. "pretty usual"15. Who was the program plannera. A famous English innovator.b. The director of a cultural institution.c. An Englishman called John Bremer.d. Someone in charge of the city's school system.16..Every "tutorial group" consists of____________.a. a large group of children and their tutorb. 15 boys and girls, a teacher and his assistantc. 15 boys and 15 girlsd. 15 boys but no girls17.. About 100 institutions in Philadelphia______________.a. provide space for classroomsb. open such courses as are required in the Programc. allow their laboratories and other facilities to be usedd. offer their helpPassage SixIn October 1800 John Todd was born in Rutland, Vermont. Soon afterward his parents moved to Killingworth, Connecticut. When John was six, both his parents died. A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. He was brought up by her and lived in her home until he left to study for the ministry.His aunt took seriously iii and feared she was about to die. In great distress she wrote John Todd a letter in which she asked him to tell her what death would be like.Here is the letter he sent in reply:It is now thirty-five years since I, as a little boy of six, was left quite alone in the world. You sent me word you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me. I have never forgotten the day when Imade the long journey of ten miles to your house in North Killingworth. I can still recall my disappointment when, instead of coming for me yourself, you sent your servant James to fetch me.I well remember my tears and anxiety as, perched high on your horse and clinging tight to James, I rode off to my new home. Night fell before we finished the journey, and as it grew dark I became lonely and afraid. "Do you think she'll go to bed before we get there" I asked James anxiously. "Oh, no," he said reassuringly. "She'll stay up for you. When we get out of these woods you'll see her candle shining in the window."Presently we did ride out into the clearing, and there, sure enough, was your candle. I re member you were waiting at the door, that you put your arms close about me and that you lifted me--a tired and bewildered little boy -- down from the horse. You had a fire burning on the hearth, a hot supper waiting on the stove. After supper you took me to my new room, heard me say my prayers, and then sat beside me until I fell asleep.You probably realize why [ am recalling all this to your memory. Some day soon God will send for you, to take you to a new home. Don't fear the summons, the strange journey, or the dark messenger of death who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do for me so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will be safe in God's care. I shall watch you and pray for you till you are out of sight, and then wait for the day when I shall make the same journey myself and find youwaiting at the end of the road to greet me.Choose the best answer:18.. Why did John Todd's aunt ask him to go to North Killingwortha. His parents had died and he was alone.b. His parents didn't want him anymore.c. She meant him to study for the ministry.d. She was afraid that he would run away from home.19... Why was John Todd disappointed when he arrived in North Killingwortha. There was no one there to meet him.b. He didn't like the town.c.

Reading comprehension ( 50 分)（A）There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation , but long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.31. Our long-term goals mean a lot______.A. if we complete our short-range goalsB. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC. if we write down the datesD. if we put forward some plans32.

While the magician's dexterity is important, the audience is also a vital participant in the deception. After all, it is in their minds that the illusion is created. Besides, there is a really detailed instruction on how to perform magic.A simple example of misdirection is used in the coin drop trick. Another trick, where a magician pretends to throw a ball up in the air, takes the misdirection a step further. These tricks psychologists can use to catch a glimpse into how our minds interpret the world around us.What’s more, magicians are manipulating your consciousness. They are showing you something impossible. Kuhn once performed a trick where a cigarette seems to disappear. In fact, it involves no sleight of hand or secret, just misdirect their attention. And that misdirection of an audience was magicians are very good at exploiting. He also did more experiments. From the classic metal bending tricks, we know the verbal suggestion can also play a big role in misdirection. And the ball experiment tells us the facial clues lead to the discovery of tricks.By the way, when we're watching magic, there is just a split second when we're in disbelief and that's what we're looking for, that exact moment---- that’s the magic spot. And the scientific research in magic will result in: a more informed audience, a broader range for magic tricks and more a ppreciation of magicians’ work. We get benefits from magic.As for me, I think magic is an essential condition in order to achieve mysterious magic value. No matter how brilliant a magician performing magic for you, you have blurred because of the skilled acting, so you get do not understand only increased the magic charm. But we must understand that an issue, which is to say: All the magic are false and magic itself is a cheat you play. I think if you remember this, do not blame people magician lie to you. As long as the performers gives the audience a happy feeling. Maybe it’s enough. That’sfrom Ecuador and doesn’t have relatives in the U.S. All she could rely on is herchildhood friend, Cristina Martinez. Ms. Martinez is not all free. She has a family to attend to and her husband became quite irritated by her constant absence, leaving the toddler at home. But she couldn’t abandon her sick friend so she went on, in spite of all the dilemmas.Throughout the whole article, the first part serves as the base. It raises, discusses the question of the caretaking problem of single people (especially the aging people) in the U.S. when they need others’ help. Also in the first part, the author provides possible solution to this problem: by developing certain mechanisms in the society to care for these people and by helping them to get comfortable to ask for help without worrying that they’re a burden.The rest parts of the article serve as illustrations of the author’s idea. All in all they emphasize the importance of friendship, which is the only reliance for people if relatives are not available at hand, or worse, forever.As modernization develops, people get more and more independent economically and single households increase rapidly around the world, especially in de veloped countries. However this doesn’t mean people don’t need each other’s support. Human beings are quite vulnerable, and need help both physically and spiritually. For those who are single and in need of other’s support, it’s the society’s responsibility to shoulder…….Unit5。

Each passage is followed byfive questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Thenmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Passage 1Every animal is a living radiator — heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse-like shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant.There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.1.The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it.A. produces heat in its body cellsB. burns fuel to produce heatC. sends out heat from its bodiesD. requires oxygen to produce heat2.Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by.A.restoring heat continuallyB.storing heat in their body cellsC.regulating the amount of heat producedD.regulating the amount of heat given off3.The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on.A. how much it weighsB. what food it eatsC. what it is likeD. how long it lives4.An animal weighing less than 2.5 grams would starve because it would not be able toA. get enough oxygenB. maintain its body temperatureC. burn its food fast enoughD. eat fast enough to supply fuel5.What is implied but not stated in the passage?A.There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.B.The hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creature.C.Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.D.The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.Passage 2California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius ofabout 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska) is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.6.Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?A. Lake Tulainyo.B. Mojave Desert.C. Death Valley.D. The Salton Sea.7.Where is the highest point in the United States located?A. Lake Tahoe.B. Sierra Nevada.C. Mount Whitney.D. Alaska.8.How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney?A. About 3 miles.B. Only 100 miles.C. 282 feet.D. 14 494 feet.9.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about100 miles of Bakersfield?A. The Pacific Ocean.B. San Joaquin Valley.C. Mojave Desert.D. Oregon and Washington.10.Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast?A.The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.B.It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having to travellong distance.C.Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within a radiusof about 100 miles.D.Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.Passage 3Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids, Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child- obsessed. A kid,s body is our physical ideal. In Kid,s Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy （颠倒）situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrant the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the farther, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the farther was ever inheriting from his son. Kids, Country may be the inevitable result.Kids, Country is not all bad. American is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids, Country. We not only wear kids, clothes and eat kids, food; we dream Kids, dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy,s game to go to the moon.If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups （俯卧撑）against eternity.11.The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that.A.adults showed less concern for children than we do nowB.adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had a lot of work to doC.children looked and acted like adults at that timeD.children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time 12. In the third paragraph, the Old Country is contrasted with America.A.to show differences in family sizeB.to show differences in attitudes towards family relationsC.to sow two kinds of geographyD.to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations 13. Going to the moon is an example of.A.America's dreams and creativityB.America,s childish and queer behaviorC.why America hasn,t grown upD.why America is considered the greatest country in the world14.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America.B.America is Kids, Country because the majority of its people are young and vigorous.C.Kids, Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into the countryD.America is more of Kids, Country than any other countries in the world.15.By saying “condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging doing push-upsagainst eternity,” the author means that.A.she thinks people shouldn,t be so concerned about physical fitnessB.she feels too old and tired to do such hard exerciseC.American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearanceD.what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soonPassage 4By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.16.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.B.In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.C.Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.D.People,s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.17.Adders are most likely to be found.A.in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB.in Scotland and nowhere elseC.on uncultivated land throughout BritainD.in shady fields in England18.We are told that British snakes are.A. afraid of human beingsB. poisonous including the adderC. dangerous except the adderD. friendly towards human beings19.When will the adder not attack you?A.When you try to catch it.B.When you are some distance away from it.C.When you happen to step on it.D.When you try to pick it up.20.If an adder hears you coming, it will usually.A. attack you immediatelyB. disappear very quicklyC. wait to frighten youD. move out of the wayPassage 5While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain baffled over how to cope with another alcohol related hazard: drunken pedestrians （步行者）.Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently —and with higher blood alcohol levels —than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 —which by law in most states signifies intoxication —compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000 or one of every seven highway deaths.Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs a board,s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent mishaps.Studies have revealed some of the causes, which range from a lack of adult supervision for many children involved in accidents to long delays in traffic signals that may encourage jaywalking, speakers said at a meeting. The most challenging problem, however, is alcohol. Some researchers suspect that part of the problem, ironically, may be former drunken drivers whose licenses were suspended and who now are walking. Other researchers, emphasizing the larger social problem of alcohol abuse in general, say many drunken pedestrians are poor alcoholics who often face lonely deaths - and not only on highways.21.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Traffic Safety.B.Drunken Drivers.C.Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.D.A Severe Highway Safety Problem.22.Among the causes of walkers, accidents, the most serious problem is.A.long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attentionto traffic rulesB.alcoholC.a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidentsD.former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time23.According to recent federal data, drunken drivers in deadly accidents.A.are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkersB.are 2,500 a yearC.are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidentsD.make up one seventh of highway deaths24.It can be inferred from the passage that pedestrian accidents have remained relatively highbecause.A.walking accidents have not received enough attention in the pastB.few methods exist to confine walking habitsC.researchers find it difficult to work out ways to prevent unlucky accidentsD.all of the above25.The passage was most probably written by a specialist in.A. town planningB. social historyC. traffic systemD. traffic safetyAnswer Sheet得分阅卷人Part I Multiple Choices (15 points, 1 point each)1-5: 6-10: 11-15:1-5: 6-10: 11-15:得分阅卷人Part III Sentence Completion (10 points, 1 point each)1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.得分阅卷人Part IV Cloze (10 points, 0.5 point each)1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.得分阅卷人Part V Reading Comprehension(50 points, 2 points each)1-5: 6-10: 11-15:16-20: 21-25:。

The hike was mainly due to a 10.1 percent surge（激增）in food prices. Food prices have a one-third weighting in the calculation of China's CPI.China has implemented a slew of measures（实施大量措施）to rein（控制）in rising commodity（商品）prices to ease economic pressures on the public, especiallylow-income groups.The measures include increasing grain supply, giving subsidies to low-income families and clamping down（取缔，施加压力）on speculation（投机）.Related readings:China to curb inflation, economic slowdownChina's commodity future prices fall on anti-inflation measuresCommodity future prices fall on anti-inflation measuresCentral bank pledges to intensify fight against inflationChina to curb（抑制）inflation, economic slowdownThe main focus of China's economic policy in the near future will be to prevent inflation and an excessive（过多的）economic slowdown, said Chen Dongqi, vice-president of the Academy of Macroeconomic Research under the National Development and Reform Commission, the 21st Century Business Herald reported Monday.Rising costs and market speculation（投机）are the two biggest factors behind China's inflationary pressures, Huang Mengfu, chairman of the All-China Federation（联盟）of Industry and Commerce, said on Nov 25.He added that inflation is an inevitable outcome of China's economic restructuring（重组）. Therefore, moderate（适当的）and controllable inflation i s good for the structural transformation of China's economy, he said."China has to keep inflation at around 4 percent," Huang said.However, whether the central government will raise its inflation-rate tolerance（公差）remains unknown. The most discussed issue among the policy-makers is how to strengthen the management of inflation, the newspaper reported, citing（引用）a policy-making consultant（顾问）at the government's think tank（智囊团）.In addition, China will readjust（重新调整）the proportions of related data when calculating the consumer price index next year. The proportion of expenses on housing, education, medical treatment and communications will be increased, while the proportion of food product expenses will goes down, the report said.Meanwhile, economists said they believe that it's time to address concerns about the loose monetary policy（宽松的货币政策）in effect in China for about two years.

As a result, many are reluctant（不情愿的）or scared to accept services from the government, according to Mark Stirling, the United Nations Country Coordinator on AIDS in Beijing.The State Council, China's Cabinet,pledged（保证）on Monday to step up（提高）screening for HIV/AIDS, while enhancing public knowledge of the disease, to protect those at risk of infection.The government will expand its monitoring network to detect as many HIV-positive people as possible, according to a statement issued after a State Council executive（行政的）meeting.The government will promote the application of fast HIV-infection detection methods at the grassroots level, the statement said, without elaborating（详细说明）.To curb mother-to-child transmission, the government will continue to provide free tests for HIV/AIDS and syphilis（梅毒）for expectant mothers, it said.To control its spread among drug addicts, the government will build a comprehensive intervention network comprised of（由……组成）forced rehabilitation（复原）, community correction, and medical treatment.Campaigns against drug trafficking（非法交易）and prostitution（卖淫）will be boosted（升高）, the statement said.The government will also add more HIV/AIDS medicines to basic medical insurance to ease the financial burden of those infected while boosting the use of traditional Chinese medicine in treatment, it said.Hao noted that government funding for tackling AIDS ha s quadrupled since 2003 and is expected to reach 1.6 billion yuan ($240 million) for 2010.Each month, hundreds of thousands of homosexual men and sex workers on the mainland are instructed on safe-sex through various government-backed AIDS intervention projects, official statistics show.But, compared with an estimated homosexual population on the mainland of nearly 40 million, "that's far from enough", Hao noted.The World Health Organization estimates that about 60 percent of vulnerable groups（弱势群体）need to be subject to（从属于）intervention to prevent HIV/AIDS from spreading.Also, largely due to discrimination, more than 80 percent of homosexual men choose to marry women, which also puts their wives at risk of contracting the virus, according to a study involving more than 8,000 homosexuals led by professor Zhang Beichuan at Qingdao University.The study also found that at least 70 percent of the homosexual population had more than one sexual partner, but only 30 percent used condoms（安全套）."Consequently（因此）, HIV/AIDS has been rampant（猖獗的）among the MSM group and the average HIV prevalence（流行）among them is 5 percent nationwide," Hao said, adding the rate is 0.05 percent among the general public. In some cities, nearly one out of five homosexuals are infected.Notably（显著地）, 71 percent of vulnerable groups（弱势群体）covered by intervention would use condoms, Hao said.He noted that it was important for other departments, like public security, to join the campaign, especially in dealing with sex workers.Intervention, including the promotion of condom use, should never be halted（停止）among sex workers, he said, adding that increasing awareness is required for aninter-department partnership to combat AIDS.He also conceded（承认）that the ongoing（不间断的）crackdown（镇压）on prostitution （卖淫）posed a challenge for intervention.Currently, AIDS prevalence（流行）among sex workers stands roughly at 2 percent nationwide, experts said.Related readings:20,000 more AIDS deaths in one yearChina pledges more efforts to control HIV-AIDSSex becomes main source of AIDS spread in S China provinceRaising awareness for AIDS preventionWord match[unit 5]dispute ---- an argument or disagreemententerprise---- business companyauthentic---- real; trueenlightened----showing true and deep understandingsuccessor---- a person or thing that follows anotherfacility----equipmentnegotiation----discussion aimed at reaching an agreementmeasure----a method for dealing with a situationserial---- in or forming a seriescapture---- seize by forcemultilateral---- involving more than two groups or countriesstaff---- the group of people who work for an organizationannual---- happening once every yearinfrastructure---- basic system and services; such as transport and power supplies commitment---- a promise of decision to do something1.This picture should be very valuable because there is a(n) authentic signature of the painteron it.2.This university is seeking a(n) successor to its president who will retire this summer.3.Negotiation for the pay increase is likely to take several weeks.4.They have been unable to settle the dispute over working conditions.5.Some sports, such as swimming and tennis, need sport facilities.6.We must take further measures to fight against terrorism.7.Seven countries are taking part in the multilateral talks.8.There are over a hundred staff in this company.[unit 6]Boulevard---- a wide road in a city with lined trees along it.Fervent----passionateConquer----win;; defeatPropose---- make an offer of marriageMessenger----a person who brings messagesEmbrace----clasp in the arms; hugPop---- burst open with a short, quick, explosive soundMotto----a short expression of a guiding principleMillennium----a period of 1,000 yearsBribery----giving or taking a gift in order to do something dishonestExhausted----very tiredStadium---- a large sports-ground with seats for spectatorsCommittee---- a group of people selected to do something specialMedal---- a piece of metal given to a person as an honorAthlete---- a person who is good at sport1.When I reached the top of the mountain, I was exhausted and wanted to take a rest.2.Her brother is an athlete who is especially good at swimming.3.My motto is “work hard, play hard.”4.The official accepted the businessman’s money.
