B When you see homework covering the kitchen table and toys are piling up around the sofa , you probably wish there was a bit more space. You are not alone. Nearly a third of parents say they feel squeezed into their homes but cannot afford to move to a bigger property , a report reveals today. Twenty-nine percent say ‘ their property is too small to fit the size of their family ’— rising to 40 percent for those 34 and under. One in four children is ‘ forced to share ’ a bedroom , according to the Finda-Property. Com website. Property analyst Samantha Baden said :“ Afford-ability remains a key issue for families , with the average cost of a three-bedroom home around £ 193,000. ” Very few can afford to buy — or to rent — a property of the size they want and in the area they desire to live in, according to Miss Baden. A recent report, from investment firm LV, also found that many ‘ space-starved parents ’ are pushed into a two-bedroom home which was perfect when they were a young couple, but has no space for three or so children. Grown-up children who cannot afford to leave home are also adding to the problem facing families in Britain ’ s ‘ big squeeze ’ . For a home to be the correct size, which means it is not overcrowded, parents must have their own bedroom. Children under ten can share, as well as same-sex children between ten and 20.Any-one over 21 also needs their own room. The report comes as official figures , published yesterday by the Land Registry , revealing house prices are falling sharply in every region except London. The worst - hit area is the North East , where average house prices have fallen to below £ l00 , 000 for the first time in seven years. However , they remain unaffordable for millions. 6l. According to Paragraph l , the report reveals . A. children like to do homework in the kitchen B. some families can ’ t afford a bigger property C. only a few families have housing problem D. people are satisfied with their living condition 62. What Miss Baden said in Paragraph 2 means . A. most families don ’ t have enough money yet B. no family could afford a three - bedroom home C. it is common to live in a three - bedroom home D. the price of a bigger property is still acceptable 63. The report from the investment firm LV shows . A. young couples should live in a two - bedroom home B. families with three or so children couldn ’ t afford a home C. parents should buy houses for their grown - up children D. some grown - up children couldn ’ t afford a separate home 64. According to the passage , the right size for a home means . A. parents should have a bedroom of their own B. anyone over 2l needs to live in their own home C. children under ten should share parents ’ bedroom D. children under 20 should have their own bedroom 65. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. House prices are falling down everywhere. B. People are able to buy a home of correct size. C. The house prices in London has not fallen down. D. The North East is now an area suitable to live in. C In Wiltshire , England , volunteers are being sought to visit a nature protection area to count the butterflies living there and on surrounding fields. The project is promoted by an environmental protection organisati on , which has contributed to improving the living environment for wild animals. Recently , the organisation has issued an appeal to help it observe environmental changes based on the record of butterflies and protect the environment. In the area , the local people have Planted many special flowers with the help of the organisation , aiming to see whether these flowers will interest the rare and beautiful butterflies. The Project officer Sarah Marshall says , “ It will be a suitable habitat( 栖息地 ) for butterflies. They are great ‘ indicator species ’ as they are easily affected by climate changes so they make a brillian early - warning system for the environment. ” She also points out that volunteers are needed to recourd the number or species of butterflies , and based on the change happening to the butterflies , the hidden environmental problems in the area can be found out in time. The organisation is seeking volunteers to help monitor butterflies from April through to September. They will walk a fixed route and record the different butterflies they encounter along the way.Each visit should take no more than two hours , and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife. “ Staff will provide back up , so if the weather is poor on the day you are to visit ( butterflies don ’ t like to fly in the rain , wind or if it ’ s too cloudy) we can have someone else do your job ,” Sarah points out. No Previous experienc e is necessary as training and support will be provided , but a keen interest is essential.

They named their practice the Independent Project. They represented the usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project , while others were honors students. Their guidance teacher was their adviser, consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties. Though they sought advice from English , math and science teachers , they were responsible for monitoring one another ’ s work and giving one another feedback. There were no grades, but at the end of the term , the students wrote evaluations of their classmates. The students also designed their own course. In addition to some regular courses , they each took on an ‘ individual project ’, learning to play the piano or to cook , writing a novel or making a video about domestic( 国内的 ) violence. At the end of the term , they performed their new skills in front of the entire school. The last part of their self - designed course was to do a ‘ collective project ’ that had social significance. Because they felt the whole experience had been so life – changing , they ended up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools. The project was a success. After returning to their traditional study , the students have high motivation and are doing well. One student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks teaching the others about probability. The lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity to take control or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished , more engaged and more knowledgeable. The students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience , learn things that matter to them and learn together. 7l. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Some students might drop out of high school. B. The teachers monitored the students ’ homework. C. The students themselves solved all their problems. D. The teachers evaluate the students ’ performances. 72. The students involved in the Independent Project . A. didn ’ t need to learn common lessons B. tended to escape from the whole society C. were unwilling to share their experiences D. focused on self-study and working together 73. According Paragraph 4 , we know that . A. the traditional study is better than the project B. all the students had failed their math courses C. the students have freedom to design their lessons D. the project was mainly concerned with math courses 74. The project made the students outstanding because . A. they are unusually talented B. they have better backgrounds C. they have supportive teachers D. they are owners of their education 75. What would be the best title of the text? A. Structure the kids ’ days to the minute B. Let kids rule their own school within a school C. Offer students few opportunities to do anything D. Provide traditional education to the students 第 Ⅱ 卷(共 45 分) 第四部分 书面表达(共两节,满分 45 分) 第一节 阅读表达(第 76 题 2 分, 77 、 78 、 80 题每题 3 分,第 79 题 4 分,满 15 分) 阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。 [ l ] Before applying to colleges , many students wonder , what ’ s the point of it all? This is an important question to ask yourself. College is a huge investment , no only of money , but also of 2-4 years of your life. No one should attend college without a very good reason. Some people go to college to earn more money. On average , people who obtain a Bachelor ’ s degree will earn more than l million dollars more over the course of their lifetimes than people who don ’ t attend college. Those who go for Master ’ s , Doctor ’ s , and professional degrees do even be tter. Holders of these degrees are suited to many hig h paying jobs while . Some go for the experiences. College is an amazing life experience. Students not only receive a traditional classroom education , but also learn a large amount about the ways of the world. For many students , college is the first time they live away from home. This creates a great opportunity to meet different types of people and have many brand new experiences that can make you a much wiser and worldly person. Some others seek after a dream. For many people college is great way to start the next step towards achieving a dream. It can help you break into a new career path or achieve expert status in your chosen field. However , there ’ re also some people going to college because “ my parents and family expect me to ” or “ I don ’ t know what I want to do with my life ” . If your main reason for going to college is one of these , you should reconsider your motivations seriously. If you go without a true purpose , you can end up finding what you spend on it might never be worth it. 76. How does the author further explain his point of view? (no more than l0 words) 77.

In those days , Montana was still a frontier state , and life there was hard. Men and women shared the difficult outdoor work. But young Jeanette noticed men and women were not equal in many ways. For instance , at election time , women were not allowed to vote. Jeanette thought this was not fair , and several years later , after graduating from college , she realized how to help change the situation. First , she joined with other women. and gave speeches through the state. Thanks to their years of efforts , Montana women were finally allowed to vote. This experience changed Jeanette ’ s life. She wanted do work for the welfare of women and children everywhere. She was now well-known throughout Montana , so she decided to run for the US Congress. In 1916 , she became the first woman in the Congress of the United Staters. Just six days after Rankin first attended Congress in 1917 , American President Wilson called for a vote to go to war against Germany , as German submarines (潜水艇) attacked American ships during World War I. When Jeanette was called upon to vote , she said ,“ I want to stand by my country , buy I cannot vote for war.I vote no. ” Forty-nine other congress members also voted no , but she was the person who was criticized most. Newspapers said her decision came from weakness and she was anti-American. In the Second World War , Japanese warplanes attacked the American base at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The time came again for the US Congress members to vote for or against going to war. Everyone was waiting for Jeanette Rankin to vote , who rose and said ,“ As a woman , I can ’ t go to war , so I refuse to send anyone else ” .Out of 471 members , she was the only member who voted against war. After that , she received thousands of letters. Most people criticized her , but some praised her for her courage. Shortly before she died in 1973, she was asked if she regretted voting “no”to the two wars. “ Never , ”she answered. “ If you are against war , you ’ re against war regard less of what happens. ” Today , in the US Congress Building , there is a statue of Jeanette Rankin. On the base of the statue are her words :“ I cannot vote for war. ” 56. When Jeanette Rankin was young , . A. women were not allowed to work with men B. women had no right to vote C. women could not go to college D. women could not deliver speeches in public 57. She decided to run for the US Congress because . A. She wanted to become famous throughout the USA B. She hated was C. She wanted to help more women and children D. She was a born politician 58. Which is true according to the passage? A. Jeannette was the only member to vote no to the two wars. B. Jeannette voted no to the wars because she was weak. C. Everyone in the USA hated her when she voted no to the war against Japan. D. Jeanette believed that no war was right. 59. From the passage we can tell that Jeanette Rankin was . A. full of courage B.

A. her fighting for women ’ s rights B. her being the first American woman Congress member C. her fighting against war D. her efforts to help women get the voting right B Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States. The result : 10 % fewer heart attacks. 8 % fewer storkes. 4 % fewer deaths. 11 % fewer new cases of heart disease. And 240 billion dollars in health care savings. Researchers found it could prevent 100 , 000 heart attacks and 92 , 000 deaths every year. The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams , or one-half teaspoon , less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University. Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium (钠), which is how foods may list their salt content. The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies , while blood pressures have also risen. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government interference. Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas , like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children ’ s Research Institute shows that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children. 6l. According to the passage , what disease is not related to salt in diet? A. cancer B. stroke C. blood pressure D. heart attack 62. We can tell from the passage that now heart attacks occur in the US every year. A. 240 , 000 B. 900 , 000 C. 100 , 000 D.92 , 000 63. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt B. the American Heart Association suggests less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone C. Americans ate no more than 5 grams of salt per day in the 1970s D. the less salt one eats , the healthier he will be 64. The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to . A. attract the public attention to the problem B. require fast food places to list salt information C. inform people of the harm that salt does to health D. put pressure on food companies and restaurants 65. The last paragraph mainly tells us . A. Bloomberg has made some other efforts to improve people ’ s health B. Bloomberg is very successful in his career C. parents must pay great attention to calorie information D. a new study is being done about calorie information C It ’ s not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group. Donating one ’ s time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The helping hand is extended to the poor , the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach youngsters how to read. others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤儿院) to help children without parents. High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program , or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their sense of idealism (理想主义) students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies. In a like manner , throughout the year , fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country , a flood somewhere within their own , or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food , clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of ‘ trick or treat ’ has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause. This call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受压迫的) became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves. American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad , which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves. 66. Which of the following charitable activities is not mentioned in the passage? A. Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people. B. Some students bring meals to old people who can ’ t go out easily. C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake. D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas. 67. Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work? A. Because they want to participate in some social activities. B. Because they want to go to better universities. C. Because they can get higher scores at school. D. Because they can realize their dream sooner. 68. The underlined word “ destitute ” in Paragraph 4 probably means . A. lifeless B. penniless C. useless D. valueless 69. American charitable activities started because . A. Americans are always ready to share with othes B. Americans are mostly kind C. poor immigrants needed help badly D. poor Americans couldn ’ t live on without help 70. What ’ s the best title of the passage? A. The Call from the Poor B. Voluntary Work in the US C. Ways to help the Poor D. American Volunteers Around the World D If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year , they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion , they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it , only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way , waste hours of their time changing the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened ; neck-lines are lowered or raised , and so on. No one can say that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth , comfort and durability (耐用) . They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort , as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn ’ t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day , or carefully picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion , the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly cha nging fashions of women ’ s clothes , one wonders , reflect basic qualities of inconstancy (易变) and instability ? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability ? That is for you to decide. 7l. How do designers and big stores take advantage of women? A. By mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry. B. By attaching great importance to quality in women ’ s clothing. C. By constantly changing the fashions in women ’ s clothing. D. By producing large number of new clothes. 72. To the writer , the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as . A. a waste of money B. a waste of time C. an expression of taste D. an expression of creativity 73. Perhaps the writer would not be so critical . A. if fashion designers could pay attention to the comfort of clothing B. if fashion industry could contribute more to society C. if women took their safety and health in consideration D. if women didn ’ t put up with any discomfort 74. By saying “ the conclusions to be drawn are obvious ” in Paragraph 4 the writer means that . A. women ’ s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at B. women are better able to put up with discomfort C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion 75. What ’ s the passage mainly about? A. Men are wiser than women in choosing clothes. B. Women are taken advantage of because they always follow clothing fashions. C. Women should be blamed for following clothing fashions. D. Changing fashions have greatly contributed to social development. 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共 45 分) 注意事项: 1. 不要直接答在试卷上,请用钢笔或圆珠笔答在答题纸的规定位置上,考试结束后将答题卡和答题纸一并交上。 2 .答题前将密封线内的项目填写清楚,密封线内答题无效。 第四部分 书面表达(共两节,满分 45 分) 第一节 阅读表达(满 45 分) 阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。 [ l ] Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being , according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently , the two-year study showed. And it wasn ’ t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet , but that using the Internet actually appeared to cause the bad feelings. Researchers are puzzling over the results , which were . They expected that the Internet would prove socially healthier than television , since the Internet allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others freely. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being. Faceless , bodiless “ virtual ” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation , and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Internet makes users less satisfied with their lives. “ But it ’ s important to remember this is not about the technology , it ’ s about how it is used ,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel , one of the study ’ s sponsors. “ In really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and servises for technology . ” 76.

1“小微企业”small and micro businesses 成为5日中国总理温家宝在十一届全国人大五次会议上所作政府工作报告中的新词。温家宝在报告中共7次提及小微企业。在回顾去年经济工作时,他提到“重点支持实体经济特别是小型微型企业”,在就业方面“一些企业特别是小型微型企业经营困难增多”。 新华社: China will deepen the reform of its financial systems by improving services for small and micro businesses and making Renminbi convertible under capital accounts, according to a report distributed to the media Monday morning. 中国将通过提升对小微企业的服务以及使人民币在资本账户下可兑换,深化金融体制改革。 small and micro businesses就是指“小微企业”,medium-sized and small enterprises(中小企业)划分为medium-sized(中型)、small size(小型)、minisize(微型)三种类型,具体标准根据enterprise jobholders(企业从业人员)、business income(营业收入)、total assets(资产总额)等指标,结合industry characteristics(行业特点)制定。 当前,small and micro businesses(小微企业)的发展受到了社会各界的广泛关注。温家宝总理明确提出要支持the real economy(实体经济),特别是支持小微企业发展。小微企业是我国national economy(国民经济)增长和发展的主要动力。支持小微企业健康发展,对于stable employment(稳定就业)、expand the domestic demand(扩大内需)、改善distribution relations(分配关系)、实现国民经济平稳较快发展具有重要战略意义。 2.甲醇汽车methanol-fueled cars 2月28日,工信部决定在山西省、上海市和陕西省开展甲醇汽车试点工作。试点工作将坚持积极稳妥、安全第一的总体要求,严格按照限定地域、限定燃料、限定用车的原则推进。 新华社 China's industrial authority said Tuesday that it will introduce trials for methanol-fueled cars in three provincial level regions starting this month, signaling the world's second largest economy's resolution to boost greener economic growth. 中国工信部决定于本月初在三个省市开展甲醇汽车试点工作,这标志着中国作为世界第二大经济体对推动绿色经济增长的决心。 methanol-fueled cars就是指“甲醇汽车”,用methanol(甲醇)代替petroleum(石油)燃料在国外已经应用多年,甲醇汽车的control system(控制系统)技术都已经很成熟,近年来由于石油资源紧张,汽车能源多元化趋向加剧,甲醇汽车又提到议事日程。 甲醇的资源丰富,可以再生,属于biomass(生物质)的能源。在汽车上使用甲醇,可以提高燃料的octane number(辛烷值),增加oxygen content(氧含量),使汽车缸内燃烧更完全,可以降低tail gas(尾气)有害物的排放。 相关:“energy saving and emission reduction(节能减排)”、“low-carbon life(低碳生活)”、“green energy resource)(绿色能源)”。我国推广使用甲醇汽油,可直接替代regular gasoline(普通汽油),缓解汽油紧张的局面,同时有很好的环保效益,对国家ecological economy(生态经济)的可持续发展、社会的进步都具有十分重要的意义。 3.过度包装 excessive packaging 2月27日,全国人大常委会会议第二次审议了《清洁生产促进法》修正案草案,草案对治理产品过度包装问题的规定进一步细化,规定企业应当对产品进行合理包装,包装的材质、结构和成本应当与内装产品的质量、规格和价格相适应,减少包装材料的过度使用。 新华社 Following a vote by lawmakers Wednesday, China's legislature approved the amended version of the Law on the Promotion of Clean Production, which stresses efforts to cut down on excessive packaging. 全国人大常委会通过《清洁生产促进法》修正案,强调要努力减少过度包装。 过度包装不仅造成resource-wasting(浪费资源)、pollute the environment(污染环境),而且导致commodity price(商品价格)虚高,损害consumer benefit(消费者利益),扰乱market order(市场秩序),助长奢侈腐败现象。 4. 研发“空气监测设备”air monitoring equipment 全国政协委员、国家环保部下属的中国环境监测总站研究员温香彩3日表示,目前国内现用的PM2.5监测设备和技术主要是依赖进口,中国应尽快加强相关技术设备的研发,形成具有自主知识产权的先进环境空气监测技术方法体系和环境空气质量评价技术方法体系。 China should speed up the research and development on air monitoring equipment in line with the rising demand after the country puts in place stricter air quality standards. The equipment and technologies that China is using to monitor PM2.5 -- fine particles 2.5 microns or less in diameter -- are mainly from other countries. 按照国家实施严格的空气质量标准后需求的不断增加,中国应该加快研发环境空气监测设备。目前中国使用的PM2.5(大气中直径小于或等于2.5微米的颗粒物)监测设备和技术主要是依赖进口。 China's Cabinet, the State Council, on Wednesday passed revised air quality standards which include an index for the concentration of PM2.5. The monitoring will cover 113 model cities on the state environmental protection list and all cities in 2015. 国务院通过修订《环境空气质量标准》,将PM2.5浓度指数纳入了监测范围。到2015年,监测将覆盖113个国家环保名单中的样板城市和所有的地级城市。 China needs to invest 2 billion yuan (317 million U.S. dollars) on equipment and technologies to build such a nation-wide monitoring network. With sufficient technical and financial support, China is capable of developing its own advanced air monitoring equipment with intellectual property rights. 要建成实现这一目标的全国性的监测覆盖网络,技术设备投资预计需要20亿人民币。配以足够的技术资金支持,中国是有能力发展拥有自主知识产权的先进的空气监测设备。 5. 可入肺颗粒物 PM2.5 particulate matter 近日,大雾笼罩华北地区,空气质量、雾霾、口罩、PM2.5再次成为了公众关注的焦点话题。12月5日,《环境空气质量标准》二次公开征求意见截止。征求意见期间收到了1500多条反馈意见,普遍赞成将PM2.5作为一般评价项目纳入空气质量标准,并根据不同地区的实际情况分步实施。 《中国日报》 Longtime exposure to particulate matter especially the particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) which can go directly to the alveoli of the lungs, is a major health hazard. 专家称,长时间呼吸空气中的颗粒物,特别是直径小于2.5微米的可入肺颗粒物(PM2.5)对人体健康危害很大。 文PM2.5就是指“可入肺颗粒物”,PM的英文全称为particulate matter(微粒物、悬浮微粒),PM2.5就是指大气中直径小于或等于2.5微米的颗粒物,可直接进入人体的alveoli of the lungs(肺泡),也称为“可入肺颗粒物”,它的直径还不到人头发丝粗细的1/20。PM2.5主要来自vehicle exhaust(机动车尾气尘)、燃油尘、硫酸盐、餐饮油烟尘、建筑水泥尘、煤烟尘和硝酸盐等。 PM2.5粒径小,这种fine particles(细微颗粒)富含大量的toxic and harmful substance(有毒、有害物质)且在大气中的停留时间长、输送距离远,因而对人体健康和大气环境质量的影响更大。今后,使用PM2.5 measurement(PM2.5标准)进行air quality monitoring(空气质量监测)正成为全球趋势。 6. 弱势群体 vulnerable groups 《中国日报》 "Also, public attitude is inclined to sympathize with vulnerable groups," Xie said, adding that public opinion would eventually influence public policy. 上海发展战略研究所谢耘耕说:“而且,公众态度倾向于同情弱势群体。”他补充说,舆论将最终影响国家政策。 vulnerable groups也可译为disadvantaged groups。 报告指出,cyber opinions/public opinion on the Internet(网络民意)很多时候可以直接或间接推动事件进展和矛盾解决,有助于克服决策过程中的information asymmetry(信息不对称)等难题。这里的cyber opinion(网络民意)就是借助或通过网络这一信息平台所反映出的社会公众思想、舆论的趋向和导向。 7. “工资收入差距”扩大 gap in wages 老生常谈了,常用来表达“收入差距”的短语有income divide和income disparity,其中后者着重强调“因不公平对待而产生的差距”。 几个注意点 “中等收入陷阱”middle income trap 就是指“中等收入陷阱”,是指当一个国家的人均收入达到中等水平,由于不能顺利实现经济发展方式的转变,导致经济增长动力不足,最终出现经济停滞的一种状态。 类似用法 比如death trap(危险场所)、poverty trap(贫困陷阱)、speed trap(汽车超速监视区)、tourist trap(旅游陷阱,如敲诈游客的旅店或商品)等等。目前,有经济学家认为,全球货币体系已经掉进dollar trap(美元陷阱)。 自改革开放以来,我国经济发展一直保持strong momentum(强劲势头),然而这种galloping economy(飞速发展的经济)也伴随着一些负面问题,比如wide income inequality(收入差距增大)、high environmental costs(较高的环境代价)、inadequate domestic spending(国内消费不足)等等。专家分析认为,将中国的经济发展模式转变为sustainable pattern(可持续发展模式)是避免这一问题的关键。 灰色收入 off-the-books income 新华社 Wen also vowed to crack down on and ban illegal income, regulate off-the-books income, gradually form a transparent, fair and rational pattern of income distribution, and resolutely reverse the widening income gap. 温总理还承诺将严禁和打击非法收入,规范灰色收入,逐渐建立透明、公正、合理的收入分配模式,坚决扭转收入差距扩大的趋势。 off-the-books income是没有入账的、用以逃税的正常管理之外的收入。Books在这里是“账簿”的意思,off-the-books也就是指“不入账的”。“黑色收入”是illegal income(不法收入);“白色收入”是legitimate income(合法、合理的收入);灰色收入是介于这两者之间的收入。 8. 车牌摇号 license-plate lottery 《中国日报》 Starting on Friday,12.14, car registration will be allocated by a license-plate lottery system. 从周五(12月24日)开始,车辆登记将采用车牌摇号的方式进行。 license-plate lottery就是指“车牌摇号”,今后买车需要先提出摇号申请,获取申请码,确认有效后可获得摇号机会。购买机动车都须进行car/vehicle registration(车辆登记)。此次政策推出后,也有不少人担心会推热对license-plate(车牌)的炒作。此次车市“限购”,引发了一股buying spree(抢购风)。。 9 见7 10. 公立医院改革 public hospital reform 2010年首个政策事件出台:国务院原则通过了公立医院改革试点的指导意见,决定按照先行试点、逐步推开的原则,并逐步取消药品加成。 新华社 China has decided to start public hospital reform with pilot programs in selected cities or districts in each province, autonomous region and municipality, according to a cabinet guideline passed Wednesday. 国务院本周三出台的指导意见提出,我国已决定在各省、自治区、直辖市中选取部分城市或辖区率先进行公立医院改革试点。 文中的public hospital reform就是指“公立医院改革”,其中的public hospital就是指“公立医院”,与之对应的则是private hospital(私营医院)。此次实行的改革是一次pilot program(试点项目),将极大改进medical service system(医疗服务体系),改善doctor-patient relationship(医患关系)。 此次改革后,医院将逐步取消profiting from drugs(药品加成)。在职职工一般都参加了basic medical insurance(基本医疗保险),农村也已建立了new type of rural cooperative medical care system(新型农村合作医疗制度)。去年,我国还公布了essential medicines list(基本药物清单),对部分药品进行限价。在医疗机构中,illegal medical practice(非法行医)将受到严惩。 还有几个盲点词· “医疗游客”medical tourist 例Estimates say that 1 in 30 Argentines has gone under the knife, making surgeons here some of the most experienced on the globe, attracting large number of medical tourists. 据估计每30个阿根廷人里就有一个人做过(整形)手术,这也使当地产生了世界上手术技巧最娴熟的一些整形医师,并因此吸引了大批医疗游客。 medical tourist指那些到技术精湛的国家就医,顺便到当地旅游的人。Medical tourism和medical travel都属于medical tour(医疗旅游),但是和medical tourist不同,medical traveler(医疗旅者)是指那些因为危急疾病到国外求医的病人,一般没有闲情参观国外的名胜。相比之下,medical tourist所要治疗的都是不危及生命的身体缺憾,大部分时间都是在旅游。 基本药物 essential medicine 指satisfy healthcare needs and are available to the public at all times in adequate amounts and in appropriate dosages.(适应我国基本医疗卫生需求,能够保障供应,剂型适宜的药品)。这一制度是medical reform program(医药体制改革)的一部分,有利于转变“以药补医”机制,ease the financial burden on citizens(减轻群众用药负担)。今年年底之前,grassroots clinics(社区卫生站)将全部配备基本药物。 生产厂商今后仍可确定基本药物的market price(市场价格),但不应高于recommended retail price(建议零售价),此次价格调整主要针对high-margin pharmacies(高利润药品)。 临时医院 makeshift hospital 。Makeshift的意思是“权宜的,临时代用的”。例:a makeshift refugee camp(临时难民营)。地震现场除了搭建临时医院,还会搭建makeshift shelter(简易过渡房)。 非法行医 illegal medical practice 2012其他热词 : 1社会保障livelihood issues 2收入分配distribution of wealth 3社会管理social management 食品安全 supervision on food safety 医疗改革 medical reform 反贪污 anti-corruption
