The World Bank estimates that more than 1,000 million people live on less than one dollar a day. These are the poorest of the poor, about one-sixth of the world population.
Martin, working for the Development Research Group at the World Bank, says about 50 percent of the people in several African countries are among the world's poorest.
But even though these areas remain extremely poor, world poverty has been cut in half over the last 20 years. The number of poor people dropped by almost 400 million between 1981 and 2001.
To reduce poverty, the World Bank says developing countries should expand the possibilities for business and investment. The bank's newest World Development Report notes that private industry creates more than 90 percent of jobs in developing countries.
Last week, about 50 heads of state discussed ways to reduce poverty during a one-day
conference in New York. The leaders and top officials met before the opening of the United Nations General Assembly meeting. The French President called for a world tax to help finance an anti-poverty campaign. Diplomats said international finances, airplane tickets and sales of heavy weapons were just some of the things that could be taxed. Agriculture Secretary representing the United States at the conference said taxes on world trade would be impossible to put in place.

Health experts predict that soon, more people will die from cancer than from AIDS and tuberculosis and malaria combined. They expect that by 2010, cancer will become the world's leading cause of death.
Experts say one reason for more people dying from cancer is that more people are smoking cigarettes in developing countries. Forty percent of the world's smokers are believed to live in China and India.
The WHO report estimates that 12 million people will be found to have some form of cancer this year. It predicts that more than seven million people will die early as a result of cancer. And more than five million of new cancer cases will be found in developing countries.
Without new treatments, the WHO says, the number of new cancer patients could reach 27 million a year by 2030. The number of deaths could reach 17 million a year.
A separate report in December said the number of men and women dying of cancer in the United States had dropped for the first time on record. The report in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute said the drop was mainly the result of fewer cases of lung cancer in men. In women, it resulted from fewer cases of breast cancer.
The American Cancer Society says governments can do things to help prevent the increase in cancer cases and deaths. And the cancer society says health officials and governments should invest more in cancer research and early detection.

A study has found that most people with severe mental health problems go untreated in developing countries. The World Health Organization says between 75 and 85 percent had no treatment within the past year. In developed countries, between 35 and 50 percent went untreated.
Professors of Harvard University examined the results of questions asked of more than 60,000 adults in 14 countries between 2001 and 2003. They asked the same questions in every interview. They wanted to estimate how many people have mental disorders.
The percentage of people who said they had a mental disorder differed greatly from country to country. The researchers found that for most countries the rate was between 9 and 20 percent. The United States had the highest, at 26 percent of those questioned. China had the lowest, at four percent.
The researchers say they believe this difference shows how mental health is seen differently around the world. They say people in many non-Western countries are often less likely to admit they have problems.
In almost every country, the more severe a problem was, the more likely it was to be treated. Still, the researchers say many people with minor mental health problems are treated, while many with serious disorders are not. They say this is not simply a problem of limited treatment resources. It also shows that resources are not being used well. The researchers call for new efforts at early interference. They say early treatment of minor disorders could prevent many serious cases later.
22.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A) Effective measures to fight against mental disorders. B) Causes of mental disorders in developing countries. C) Serious consequences of mental disorders among adults. D) General situation of mental disorders around the world.
正确答案为 D 你没有作答。 解析：

B) To examine the treatment of mental disorders in developing countries. C) To classify mental disorders around the world into several categories. D) To confirm the relationship between economic status and mental disorders.

C) The rate of interviewees admitting mental disorder was between 9 to 20 percent for most countries.
D) The rate of interviewees admitting mental disorder was about the same in different countries.
正确答案为 C 你没有作答。 解析：
题干的意思是：根据研究，以下哪个选项是正确的？音频提到美国的受访者中承认患有精神疾病的高达26%，中国为4%，但这两个数据并不代表所有美国人和所有中国人的精神疾病患病率，所以AB不选。事实是每个国家的受访者中承认患病的比率各不相同（differed greatly from country to country），大多数国家在9%到20%之间（for most countries the rate was between 9 and 20 percent），所以选C。 25.According to researchers, what is the best strategy against mental disorders?
A) Treat mental disorders at their initial stages. B) Invest more in developing effective medicines. C) Equally distribute relevant medical resources. D) Give prior treatment to those with serious disorders.
正确答案为 A 你没有作答。 解析：
题干的意思是：研究人员认为对待精神疾病的最好策略是什么？音频开头就提到疾病得不到治疗（mental health problems go untreated），结尾再次强调研究人员呼吁早期干预（The researchers call for new efforts at early interference），早期治疗可以避免病情加重（early treatment of minor disorders could prevent many serious cases later），综合理解以上信息可以看出研究人员认为精神疾病应及早治疗，所以选A。

36.正确答案为 H) introduced 你没有作答。 解析：H) introduced
introduced：语法结构和语义逻辑题。根据语法，本句中American Airlines是主语，new awards是宾语，此处缺少谓语动词，前面有时间点，用一般过去时。结合语义，此句是说美国航空公司推出了新的优惠政策，选项中只有introduced符合句意，所以此处填入introduced。
easier：语义逻辑题。此句中缺少补语。前面提到航空公司给予订票优惠，按照此逻辑后面应该是对于常客，航空公司使他们能够更加容易地保持贵宾身份，所以此处填入easier。
including：语法结构题。根据语义，offers包括double-mile promotions，前者与后者是主动进行关系，用现在分词，所以此处填入including。
describe：语义逻辑和固定搭配题。根据语法，此句中Those是主语，who引导定语从句修饰those，the changes是宾语，主句缺少谓语动词，后面还有介词as与之搭配。此句是说那些人把这些变化描述为更加方便顾客， describe...as意思是“描述成”，所以此处填入describe。
earn：语义逻辑题。此句是说此项目变得更加方便顾客，为顾客提供多种途径来赚取飞行里程数，ways to后面用动词原形，所以此处填入earn。
challenge：语义逻辑题。冠词a后面需要接名词。此句意思是大多数人想通过免票来赚取里数，这本来就很困难，后面进一步说特别是满员飞行时就更难了，此处用“挑战”一词符合语义，所以此处填入challenge。 attributed：语义逻辑和固定搭配题。which引导定语从句，从句中缺少谓语动词，而且为一般过去时，后面有to，而且to后面是名词成分travelers using miles，attributed...to意思是“归结于、归因于”，所以此处填入attributed。
economy：语义逻辑题。根据语法，空格处应为一个名词。而且，由转折连词But可以判断前后两句意思相对，后面用recession一词，意思是“当经济不景气时”，前面应该用In a good economy意思是“在经济状况良好时”，所以此处填入economy。
necessary：语义逻辑题。前面说当经济状况良好时，人们会去夏威夷、伦敦和旧金山，但是当经济不景气时人们就不随便出行，而是必要时才乘坐飞机，所以此处填入necessary。
motivated：语义逻辑题。本句意思是财政规则要求航空公司把乘客未使用的里数看成责任来对待，所以就使顾客能够更容易地得到优惠。此句是由which引导的非限制性定语从句，空格处为从句中的谓语，前面已经有助动词has，此处应为动词的分词形式，所以此处填入motivated。 37.正确答案为 E) easier 你没有作答。 解析：E) easier 略

For American Workers in China, a Culture Clash
A In the last few years, a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment, attracted by its faster-growing economy and lower jobless rate. As more Americans go to China, more Chinese and Americans are working side by side. Their Chinese co-workers are often around the same age. These cross-cultural partnerships, while beneficial in many ways, are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience, pay levels and communication.
B \tight cooperation of the two countries in business and science makes the Chinese-American pairing one of the most common in the workplace in China,\said Vas Taras, a management professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, a specialist in cross-cultural work group management. But the two groups were raised differently. The Americans have had more exposure to free-market principles. \Americans were brought up in a commercial environment,\said Neng Zhao, 28, a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital, a private equity firm (私人投资公司) based in Beijing. \
C Sean Leow, 28, founder of Neocha, a social networking site based in Shanghai, says young Chinese employees often enter jobs with less hands-on preparation. They may also have less understanding of client services, he said. In addition, he said, \colleagues did not do internships (实习) in college,\
D Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying a premium (额外补贴) for Western experience. Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts (职位相当的人) in similar positions, said Michael Norman, senior vice president at Sibson Consulting, an American firm. That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers. \the perception that Americans get paid more for the same work,\Ting Wang, 25, an associate at WildChina, a travel company based in Beijing. The difference is a function of supply and demand, Mr. Norman said. \you need the foreigner for their specialized knowledge of the West, companies are willing to pay a little more.\
E On the other hand, Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences, like Confucianism and Communism, which play a part in their country's culture and economy. It is necessary for Americans working in China to adjust, said Mr. Norman, who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia. \premium on getting things done quickly, but when you come to work in China, you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business,\
F Ming Alterman, 25, a senior account executive at Razorfish, a Shanghai-based digital media firm, is the only American among 40 employees. He says Americans need to understand the importance of building so-called guanxi. The word means relationships, but has implications beyond the required happy hour, occasional lunches with the boss or networking. \expected that you become friends with your boss and you go out and communicate in a way that doesn't happen in the US,\
G The Chinese now rising in the work force were raised and educated in a system that tended to prize obedience (服从). Their American counterparts may have had more room to question authority and speak their minds. This can affect workplace communication. When Corinne Dillon, 25, was working at a multinational company in Beijing, she noticed that her Chinese colleagues were sometimes hesitant about expressing their opinions, which she thought was rooted in views about hierarchy (等级制度). \when they are not, there is sometimes an implicit respect given to them that makes Chinese people not want to directly disagree with them for fear of being perceived as impolite,\said Ms. Dillon, who is now director of sales and marketing at That's Mandarin, a language school based in Beijing.
H The difference cuts both ways. Ms. Zhao, of Blue Oak Capital, recalled her first experience working for an American at an American-run agency in Beijing. What her American boss perceived as directness left her feeling ashamed, she said. \remember I was so embarrassed when my American boss told me he didn't like something I was doing, right in front of me,\way would have been much more indirect.\
I Communication styles, Professor Taras said, can create workplace challenges. \often perceive the Chinese as less confident and not tough enough, whereas the Chinese may see Americans as rude or inconsiderate.\This, he said, \lead to conflicts and misunderstandings, but also affect promotion and task assignment choice, and ultimately performance.\What is similar, though, is that both the Americans and the Chinese perceive a glass ceiling. \don't speak good enough Chinese, so their promotion prospects are limited; and on a social and cultural level, young Chinese feel there are barriers that are hard to get past,\28, who works with Americans in her job as a communications manager in Beijing.
J Despite the tension, the Chinese-American pairing holds many economic and political benefits for both countries. \a business presence and influence in overseas markets,\Mr. Norman said. \America needs people who truly understand the Chinese, in order to compete and cooperate.\working alongside the Chinese in China, he said, %understanding for the future.\

Section C Reading Comprehension
Directions：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
本题得分：--/20分
As winter approached, retailers (零售商) ordered clothes for cold weather, arranged their stores for cold weather and then just started hoping for cold weather.
Winter is here, but the cold weather by and large is not. Nationally, last month was one of the warmest Decembers on record, and so far January temperatures are above average.
The relatively warm weather is erasing a lot of demand for winter hats, coats, and gloves—and making some retailers sweat the bottom line.
On Saturday, the outdoors store REI took the unusual step of making artificial snow in a Manhattan park, hoping to encourage people to buy snowshoes and winter jackets. Home Depot has cut down on items like salt for de-icing, and many of its stores have replaced snow removal equipment with storage products in storefront displays. Even drugstores are being affected because flu (流感) infections are down.
Though some winter resorts received a small amount of snow over the weekend, and Seattle is having a snowstorm, those pockets of cold have not provided much of a relief for retailers, who are running out of time to sell their winter inventory.
Kevin Scott, senior vice president for merchandising services at Home Depot, said there has been an upside to the warmer weather—outdoor paint, outdoor lights and windows are selling well—but \
Scott Jaeger, an analyst with the Leisure Trends Group, a market research firm, said that while overall sales in 2011 had risen eight percent, sales of outdoor gear in December fell two percent from the previous December. \buy the thick coat,\wardrobe or update the skis, because they were not necessarily going skiing.\
On Saturday, REI spread artificial snow over a Manhattan park so passers-by could try cross-country skiing. Luckily, Saturday was one of the few days this winter that reached freezing in the city.
\plan for a solid winter,\said Tim Spangler, senior vice president for retail at REI. \often joke that planners in our business are paid to be wrong: you either bought too little, because the winter overperforms, or you bought too much, because it's warm.\56.The problem those retailers face derives from __________.
A) the worsening environment B) the insufficient stocks of items C) the relatively high temperature
D) the change of people's outdoor activities

B) Cold weather counts little in his winter business. C) People's shopping habits tend to change in winter. D) Winter weather has a great impact on his business.

60.What is the message the author intends to convey?

Tristesse Jones will probably never drive a tractor or guide a combine at harvest time. There isn't a farm within miles of where she grew up on Chicago's west side, but she's set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in crop sciences from the University of Illinois' agriculture school next spring.
\Jones said.
She is one of a growing number of students being drawn to agriculture schools around the country, not by ties to a farm but by science, the job prospects for those who are good at it and, for some, an interest in the environment.
Enrollment (入学人数) in bachelor's degree programs in agriculture across the country grew by 21.8 percent from 2005 to 2008, from about 58,300 students to nearly 71,000. Yet the number of farms nationwide has dropped for decades.
Many students are choosing to major in agriculture, educators from across the country say, after finding out that much of what they'll learn is science?biology, chemistry and a long list of more specialized areas that can land them jobs at companies that produce the seeds and chemicals for farmers.
Demand for science graduates, agriculture industry officials say, outstrips supply. Monsanto, the St. Louis agricultural business giant that makes seeds, pesticides (杀虫剂) and a series of other farm products, can't hire enough.
UC-Davis' College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is one of the country's biggest agriculture schools and still has plenty of students studying in traditional areas, said Diane Ullman, the college's associate dean. But more than 3,200 of its agriculture students are studying so-called human sciences, such as nutrition, or environmental sciences, such as environmental policy.
\have to do with food, and I think there's a real interest in new ways of doing things and solving some of these problems,\
61.How do people feel when they have known Tristesse Jones's major?
A) Excited. B) Annoyed. C) Surprised. D) Disappointed.
正确答案为 C 你没有作答。 解析：
题干的意思是：当得知Tristesse Jones所学的专业的时候，人们是什么感觉？文章第二段提到Jones说当人们得知她所学的专业后，问她到底是什么样的专业，是不是想要去种庄稼（What is that? So you want to grow plants）。由此可以推断人们感到非常惊讶，所以选C。 62.Tristesse Jones chose to study agriculture because ________.
A) she had great interest in agricultural studies B) she intended to manage her family's farm C) it could help her to get a satisfactory job D) it could realize her childhood dreams
正确答案为 C 你没有作答。 解析：
题干的意思是：Tristesse Jones选择农学专业的原因是什么。文章第三段提到选择农校的学生越来越多，Tristesse Jones就是其中之一（She is one of a growing number of students being drawn to agriculture schools），她们选择农校是因为未来的工作前景（the job prospects），也就是说有助于找到满意的工作，所以选C。
63.According to the passage, students majoring in agriculture will ________.
A) compete with students in other majors in the job market B) have a wide range of potential job opportunities C) study quite a few courses about environment D) mostly work in large farms after graduation
正确答案为 B 你没有作答。 解析：
题干的意思是：农学专业毕业的学生会怎么样。文章第五段提到许多农学专业的学生要学习很多门课程，例如生物学、化学，甚至是更加专业的学科（finding out that much of what they'll learn is science—biology, chemistry and a long list of more specialized areas），这样有助于他们在不同的公司找到工作（can land them jobs at companies）。由此可以推断农学专业毕业的学生的未来就业前景非常广泛，所以选B。
64.What does the author imply by saying \officials say, outstrips supply\
A) It is easy for agriculture students to find jobs after graduation. B) It is advisable for agriculture students to learn more about science. C) People's prejudice against agricultural studies has been eliminated. D) Agricultural studies have attracted increasing attention from students.
正确答案为 A 你没有作答。 解析：
题干的意思是：文章第六段中作者提到“农业官员说对农业专业毕业学生的需求超过了供给”是什么意思？文章第六段里农业官员提到，对农业专业毕业生的需求超过了供给（Demand for science graduates, agriculture industry officials say, outstrips supply），由此可以推断，这个专业的毕业生很容易找到工作，所以选A。
65.According to Ullman, why are there so many students studying the so-called human sciences?
A) Because they think human sciences are more important than agriculture.
B) Because they are inclined to get a satisfactory job easily after graduation. C) Because they think human sciences can better help those who are in need. D) Because they are fond of solving social problems with what they've learned.
正确答案为 D 你没有作答。 解析：
题干的意思是：Ullman认为，为何有如此多的学生学习所谓的人文科学？文章倒数第二段最后一句话提到有三千二百多名农学专业的学生学习所谓的人文学科（more than 3,200 of its agriculture students are studying so-called human sciences），接着在最后一段提到了出现这一现象的原因，年轻人逐渐意识到几乎所有的社会问题都与粮食有关（young people are recognizing all of the issues that surround our society that have to do with food）， 并且他们对找到解决这些问题的新方法非常感兴趣（there's a real interest in new ways of doing things and solving some of these problems），所以选D。
