23、ack of natural resourcesOut-of-date conventionsDisorganization of the economyGeographical positionPoor leadershipOverpopulationLack of education （分数：30.00）_正确答案：(A: What do you think are the main causes for regional poverty? B: I think geographical position plays a very important role. Lets take the
24、 western regions in our country for example. There are many mountains there, which make it quite difficult to build roads. Because of this, it is hard to transport, either both raw materials or finished products. Thus these regions seem to be alienated from the others and therefore, cannot get rich.
25、 A: I couldnt agree more. But dont you think that overpopulation is another important reason? B: Maybe, but Im not sure. You see, therere some rich places with a density of population, the eastern coastal regions of Australia, for example. By contrast, the vast inland of that country is sparse but p
26、oor. A: Thats true. But overpopulation is really a big burden to the development of the economy, especially nowadays. We need fewer people for the same work than before, and a lot of unemployed people have to live on social welfare. Besides, more people will consume more energy. B: I quite agree wit
27、h you on this. However, I think that lack of education is another main reason for regional poverty. Its well known that we are now in an information era, and technology is one of the most important factors for progress. Without efficient production, people cannot live a wealthy life no matter how ha
28、rd they work. A: Thats right. Knowledge will in the end decide the prosperity of an area. And how about lack of natural resources? In my opinion, it is also an important reason for regional poverty. B: But I dont think so. I can give you many examples for that. We cannot say Hong Kong and Singapore
29、are rich in natural resources, but both of them are wealthy. Thats because they organize their economy in a way that is suitable to them. So as far as I am concerned, disorganization of the economy is one of the main reasons for regional poverty.)解析：三、BPart C/B(总题数：1，分数：40.00)3.Presentation (This pa

(say the name of candidate A), would you begin by telling us which topic you have chosen and then give your presentation please? （分数：40.00）_正确答案：(H:
34、 Id like to choose the first topicHousing problems. The housing problem in big cities is one of the most serious problems which face us at present. Though it has aroused the concern of an increasing number of people, the condition is still far from being satisfactory. And it is urgent for us to take
35、 effective steps to solve this problem. There are many ways to solve this problem. Some suggest we build high buildings, and others propose we open up underground housing areas. Between the two, I am in favor of the first idea and against the latter one. This is because the first one is more practic
36、al, easier to carry out and less expensive. Modern science and technology has made it possible for people to build high buildings and to supply water, electricity and elevators for people living in them. The second idea is unrealistic: it needs a lot more money which we dont have at present; it take
37、s a longer period of time to carry out. It is reasonable to assume that building high buildings is a better way to solve the housing problem in big cities. Thank you. Now. (say the name of candidate B), would you like to ask. (say the name of candidate A) some questions? (Allow a maximum of 2 questi
38、ons by candidate B, followed by one more question by the interlocutor.) B: Can you tell us something about your house? A: Well, I am now living in a small room with a friend. We first rented it last month. Its very small and very simple. There is a bed, a desk and a bookshelf in all. E: What do you
39、think is the most serious housing problem in Beijing. A: The prices of houses are too high. It seems impossible for one to buy a house in Beijing by oneself. Now. (say the name of Candidate B), would you begin by telling us which topic you have chosen and then give your presentation, please? B: Id l
40、ike choose the first topicstudying abroad. Attending school abroad has many advantages. In the first place, by looking at our own country from the outside, we can better see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while studying i
41、n a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Thirdly, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in the second language may be improved quickly. But the most important thing in attending a foreign univers
42、ity is to get acquainted with the latest knowledge in science and technology and make use of the first-rate facilities available. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education. However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a forei
43、gn university. The most serious problem is the language barrier. Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not have adequate proficiency in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying. Besides, for lack
44、 of knowledge of the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise; Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to
45、help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little. Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factor
46、s carefully before making up his mind. On the whole, it is a good thing to go and study abroad particularly when the subject is very weak or not available in our country. But on the other hand, one must not lose sight of the disadvantages. Thank you. Now. (say the name of candidate A), would you lik
47、e to ask. (say the name of candidate B) some questions? (Allow a maximum of 2 questions by candidate A, followed by one more question by the interlocutor.) A: What do you hope for most if you study abroad? B: What I hope for most is to learn their advanced science and technology and management, meanwhile, I have the chance to confront different cultures. Then I will have a broad understanding of life itself and the world Im living in. All of this will definitely do good to my personal development. E: Some local students feel
