参考答案：

Recently, the video has aroused a heated debate that a male driver mercilessly hit another female one. The public take different attitudes towards it, some even go so far as doubt about the Chinese dream of building a harmonious society. So is it really beyond the reach of us Chinese? Definitely not.

First, we must have a clear idea what kind of society can be defined as harmonious. A harmonious society, in my view, should be one where its people show deep love for the nation. Besides, the citizens enjoy a high standard of civilization, respecting and caring for each other. Most importantly, people in such society ought to live in harmony with nature, which makes sustainable development possible.

Realizing the goal, of course, calls for everyone’s efforts. As citizens, we should take great pride in our nation and never do any harm to its image or benefits. Mutual care and understanding are also necessary when getting along with others as they will surely contribute to a harmonious social network. Furthermore, economic development should not be gained at the price of nature. Otherwise, not only we, but our future generations would not survive.

Entertainment in London

Buying Books

Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy "proper" books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being "the biggest bookshop in the world" to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books of philosophy, politics or any other of the various subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet!

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture off the busy and crowded roads, to Farringdon Road in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to barrows(推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce towards the sellers. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.

Both Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road are well-known places of the book buyer. Yet all over London there are bookshops, in places not so well known, where the books are equally varied and exciting. It is in the sympathetic atmosphere of such shops that the loyal book buyer feels most at home. In these shops, even the life-long book-browser is frequently rewarded by the accidental discovery of previously unknown delights. One could, in fact, easily spend a lifetime exploring London's bookshops. There are many less pleasant ways of spending time!

Going to the Theatre

London is very rich in theatres: there are over forty in the West End alone--more than enough to ensure that there will always be at least two or three shows running to suit every kind taste, whether serious or lighthearted.

Some of them are specialist theatres. The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where the great opera singers of the world can be heard, is the home of opera and the Royal Ballet. The London Coliseum now houses the English National Opera Company, which encourages English singers in particular and performs most operas in English at popular prices.

Some theatres concentrate on the classics and serious drama, some on light comedy, some on musicals. Most theatres have a personality of their own, from the old, such as the Theatre Royal (also 1

called the "Haymarket") in the Haymarket, to the more modern such as the recently opened Baibican centre in the city. The National Theatre has three separate theatres in its new building by Waterloo Bridge. At the new Barbican centre the Royal Shakespeare Company has their London home—their other centre is at Stratford-on-Avon.

Most of the old London theatres are concentrated in a very small area, within a stone's throw of the Piccadilly and Leicester Square tube stations. As the evening performances normally begin either at seven-thirty or eight p. m., there is a kind of minor rush-hour between seven-fifteen and eight o'clock in this district. People stream out of the nearby tube stations, the pavements are crowded, and taxis and private cars maneuver into position as they drop theatre-goers outside the entrance to each theatre. There is another minor rush-hour when the performance finishes. The theatre in London is very popular and it is not always easy to get in to see a successful play.

Before World War Ⅱ, theatre performances began later and a visit to the theatre was a more formal occasion. Nowadays very few people "dress" for the theatre (that is, wear formal evening dress) except for first nights or an important performance. The times of performance were put forward during the war and have not been put back. The existing times make the question of eating a rather tricky problem: one has to have either early dinner or late supper. Many restaurants in "theatreland" ease the situation by catering specially for early or late dinners.

Television and the difficulty of financing plays have helped to close many theatres. But it seems that the worst of the situation is now over and that the theatre, after a period of decline, is about to pick up again. Although some quite large provincial towns do not have a professional theatre, there are others, such as Nottingham, Hull, Coventry or Newcastle, which have excellent companies and where a series of plays are performed during one season by a resident group of actors. Some towns such as Chichester or Edinburgh have theatres which give summer seasons. Even in small towns a number of theatres have been built in the last few years to cater for the local population.

Music in Britain

It is debatable whether the tastes of kings reflect those of their subjects. However, three English monarchs certainly shared their people's linking for music. Richard Ⅰ(1157-1199), the "Lionheart", composed songs that he sang with his musician, Blondel. It is said that when the king was a prisoner in Austria, Blondel found him by singing a song known only to him and the king, who took up the tune in the tower of the castle in which he was secretly imprisoned. Hey VⅢ (1491-1547), notorious for his six wives, was a skilled musician and some of his songs are still known and sung. Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and her husband, Prince Albert, delighted in singing ballads. The great composer and pianist Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was a welcome guest at their court, where he would accompany the Queen and the Prince when they sang.

The British love of music is often unfamiliar to foreigners, probably because there are few renowned British composers. The most famous is Hey Purcell (1658-1695), whose opera "Dido and Aeneas" is a classic. The rousing marching song "Lillibulero" attributed to Purcell, now used by BBC as an identification signal preceding Overseas Service news bulletins, was said to have "sung James Ⅱ out of three kingdoms" when he fled from Britain in 1688. Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) is known for his choral and orchestral works, some of which have been made more widely known by the famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), a composer with a very personal style, has become world-famous for such operatic works as "Peter Grimes" and "Billy Budd". Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) was deeply influenced by English folk music, as is shown by his variations on the old tune "Green-sleeves" (which most people consider a folk song). In recent years there has been a great revival of folk music, and groups specializing in its performance have sprung up all over Britain. This phenomenon has its roots in the work of Cecil Sharp (1859-1924), who collected folk songs and dances.

Present-day concern with music is shown by the existence of something like a hundred summer schools in music, which cater for all grades of musicians, from the mere beginner to the skilled performer. These schools, where a friendly atmosphere reigns, provide courses lasting from a weekend to three or four weeks, and cover a wide range, from medieval and classical music to 2

rock-and-roll and pop. There are also important musical festivals in towns such as Aldeburgh, Bath, and Cheltenham. Pop-music festivals draw thousands of people, especially young people. In the great cities there are resident world-famous orchestras and from all over the world great performers come to play or sing in Britain. In many towns there are brass bands, and the players are often such people as miners or members of the local fire brigade, for music in Britain is not just an elegant interest, it is above all democratic.

Education is a long process that not only provides us with basic skills such as literacy and numeracy, but is also essential in shaping our future lives. From the moment we enter small children, and as we progress through primary and secondary education, we are laying the foundation and work with those around us. And of course health education helps us to understand how we can

For most people, this process ends when they are in their mid-to-late teens. For others, however, it they will learn more useful skills such as computer literacy or basic business management. Others will eoll in a program of education at a university where, with hard work, they will have the opportunity to graduate after three or four years with a well-earned degree. After that, they may work —an M.A., for example, or a PhD. And if they live a long way from a college or university, they might follow a correspondence course using mail and the near a school for many years, have started to study again and can proudly class themselves as mature students.

But things are different now. The stock market bubble has burst and, despite signs of economic recovery. Wall Street seems to be sunk in gloom. A string of scandals at some of America's most high-flying firms--including Eon, Xerox. Tyco, Global Crossing and most recently, World Com has radically changed the public mood.

As political pressure for reform increases, so too does the heat on Mr Bush. Is the businessman's president really prepared to take business on and push hard for reform? Despite the set jaw and aggrieved tone in New York. Probably not. Mr. Bush thinks the current crisis stems from a few bad-apple chief executives rather than the system as a whole. Hence he focus on tough penalties for corrupt businessmen and his plea for higher ethical standards. The president announced the creation of a financial-crimes SWAT team, at the Justice Department to root out corporate fraud, and wants to double the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud from five to ten years. But he offered few concrete suggestions for systemic reform: little mention of changes to strengthen shareholders' rights, not even an endorsement of the Senate corporate-reform bill.

There are few signs yet that cleaning up corporate America is an issue that animates the voters. Polls show that Americans have little faith in their business leaders, but politicians do not seem to be suffering as a result. Mr. Bush's approval ratings have fallen from their sky-highs, but they are still very strong.

The president, therefore, need do no more than talk tough. This alone will convince ordinary Americans that he is on top of the issue. As the economy rebounds and public outage subsides, the clamor for change will be quieter. Democratic attacks will fizzle, and far-reaching reform bills will be watered down before they become law. Politically, the gamble makes sense. Unfortunately for American capitalism, a great opportunity will be missed.

57. We can infer from the third paragraph that Mr. Bush______.

A) didn't intend to take business on and push hard for reform

B) did not do anything at all for the presence of the current situation

C) took shareholders' right into account, but he didn't approve reform bill

D) took some measures to pave the way for the reform

58. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A) Bush had to offer concrete suggestions for reform as political pressure increase

B) At present, the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud is five year

C) It is laughable that M Bush publicly attacked America's corporate bosses

D) Americans have little faith in their business as well as political leaders

59. Which of the following statements about Mr. Bush is mentioned in this passage?

A) M Bush is the second President with an MBA in American history

B) M Bush contributes a lot to decade-long economic boom

C) M Bush's approval ratings are still high

D) M Bush didn't get support in his presidential campaign

60. The author's attitude towards the reform is______.

A) indifferent B) optimistic C) skeptical D) favorable

61. The phrase "a great opportunity" mentioned in the last paragraph refers to an opportunity to____.

A) carry out reform B) boom economy

C) animate the voters D) attack chief executive

Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

In recent decades, there is a phenomenon which makes us give some attention; the so-called Southeast Asian "tigers" have rivaled the western "lions" for stock cliches that make economic headlines. The myth of American economic hegemony(霸权) over Asia in the imposing and patriarchal figure of Uncle Sam has provided frequent political grist (有利) for Southeast Asian political leaders, particularly Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir. He has attempted to forge an 5

competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. we compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study. there is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs,

customers, money and so forth. in a sense, competition is one of the motive force to the development of society.

in the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live; therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity. today, most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education. there are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields. the quality of people is rapidly increasing. competition is more violent that what we thought it should be. the potentially successful job applicant has to be

prepared in a stronger position by gaining more qualification and experience. in the sports contests,the strongest will come out as winners. they become our heroes and they are glorified. in the

business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees. otherwise you will be defeated.

in fact, the only way our world reward people is to give laurels to the winners, not to the losers. what is more, by attempting to compete at different activities, we learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. competition prepares us for the tough things in life.

to go ahead, to acquire possession，we should be competitive. to us, industriousness and ambition are positive values. "the cpc and the central government have made it an important task to build a harmonious society, as china is facing thorny domestic issues, as well as complicated and volatile international situations," said hu, who is also general secretary of the central committee of the communist party of china (cpc).

he made the remarks at the opening ceremony of a 7-day training course beginning feb. 19, which was sponsored by the party school of the cpc central committee and attended by major provincial- and ministerial-level leaders.

xinhua released the full text of hu"s speech on june 26.

china"s per capita value of gross domestic production (gdp) has exceed 1,000 us dollars, but that does not necessarily translate into smooth economic growth and steady social development.

"this period is a crucial stage for the economic and social

development for a country in the process of modernization, as proven by experiences of many countries in the world," hu said.

some have succeeded in the social and economic transition into prosperity, but many others have suffered from stagnation and social turbulence due to inadequate policy-making, he noted.

"the problems and contradictions china will face in the next

decades may be even more complicated and thorny than others" as it is turning from a planned economy to a market economy with its social structure and ideological setup also in major shake-up, hu

acknowledged.

"independent thinking of the general public, their newly-

developed penchant for independent choices and thus the widening gap of ideas among different social strata will pose further challenges to china"s policy makers," he said. "negative and corruptive

phenomena and more and more rampant crimes in the society will also jeopardize social stability and harmony."

in view of the international situations, hu noted that building a harmonious society is also a requisite requirement for the chinese authorities to clear away challenges and risks in the international relations, including unfair world order, rocky road of multi-

polarization of world political framework, pressure from economic globalization, and security concerns.

harmony means democracy, justice ...

"a harmonious society should feature democracy, the rule of law, equity, justice, sincerity, amity and vitality," hu said.

such a society will give full scope to people"s talent and creativity, enable all the people to share the social wealth

brought by reform and development, and forge an ever closer relationship between the people and government. "these things will thus result in lasting stability and unity," hu said.

to meet this goal, hu told the country"s high-ranking officials to:

-- strive for sustained, rapid and coordinated economic growth;

sound economic growth and increasing abundance of social wealth are the material foundation for a harmonious society, and the well-being of the country"s rural population will play a decisive role."when the farmers can lead a good life and assume a higher

overall quality, the vast countryside will be stable and prosperous."-- develop socialist democracy;

by developing democracy, the people"s opinions may be further let out, their intelligence be fully absorbed, and a democratic policy-making mechanism will help balance different social interests and avoid social conflicts.

-- actively enforce the principle of rule of law;

the rule of law is important for the promotion, realization and safeguarding of a harmonious society. this principle should be

rigorously implemented in all political, administrative and judicial sectors to ensure the powerful be checked and accountable for their misdeeds.

-- strengthen ideological and ethical buildup;

"without a common ideological aspiration or high moral standard, a harmonious society will be a mansion built on sand." honesty, unity, fraternity, professional ethics should be advocated to the whole society.

-- maintain social equity and justice;

social equity and justice is key to bringing people"s creativity and initiatives to full play, because people will not

be happy without it. it is important to balance different interests and strive to ensure equality for all in terms of

personal rights, opportunities, game-playing rules and wealth distribution.

-- establish a fine-tuned social management system and well handle the people"s internal contradictions;

social conflicts are emerging in great numbers and in more varied forms, which are inevitable for china at th(来自:WWw.zW2.CN 爱作文网)e present stage.

but they must be properly handled in case they pose risks to the overall development of the country.

-- and to beef up environmental protection.

"the present ecological and environmental situations in china are rather tough and grave in some places." without a sound natural

environment, people will have no clean water to drink, fresh air to breath, healthy food to eat, which will result in serious social problems."

hu called on the high-ranking officials to put building a

harmonious society on their top work agenda, do a good job in serving the people, and probe into theories relating to the building of a harmonious society.

it will be a long-term, systematic project, and the whole party and the government must constantly remind themselves of the sense of mission and take up their responsibilities in leading the

construction of a harmonious society for the smooth transition of the chinese society in the next decades, hu said.
