(10 points) 1 Modern liberal opinion is sensitive to problems of restriction of freedom and abuse of power. (1)_, many hold that a man can be inju

2、red only by violating his will, but this view is much too (2)_. It fails to (3)_ the great dangers we shall face in the (4)_ of biomedical technology that stems from an excess of freedom, from the unrestrained (5)_ of will. In my view, our greatest problems will be voluntary self-degradation, or wil

3、ling dehumanization, as is the unintended yet often inescapable consequence of sternly and successfully pursuing our humanization (6)_. Certain (7)_ and perfected medical technologies have already had some dehumanizing consequences. Improved methods of resuscitation have made (8)_ heroic efforts to

4、“save“ the severely ill and injured. Yet these efforts are sometimes only partly successful: They may succeed in (9)_ individuals, but these individuals may have sever brain damage and be capable of only a less-than-human, vegetating (10)_. Such patients have been (11)_ a death with dignity. Familie

5、s are forced to bear the burden of a (12)_ “death watch“. (13)_ the ordinary methods of treating disease and prolonging life have changed the (14)_ in which men die. Fewer and fewer people die in the familiar surroundings of home or in the (15)_ of family and friends. This loneliness, (16)_, is not

6、confined to the dying patient in the hospital bed. As a group, the elderly are the most alienated members of our society: Not yet (17)_ the world of the dead, not deemed fit for the world of the living, they are shunted (18)_. We have learned how to increase their years, (19)_ we have not learned ho

11、owing four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 21 How did the company come to produce a record glorifying the murder of police, which is entitled Cop Killer by the rapper Ice-T on the album Boby Count? The album is released by Warner Bros. Records, part

12、of the Time Warner media and entertainment conglomerate. In a Wall Street Journal oped piece laying out the companys position, Time Warner co CEO Gerald Levin makes two defenses. First, Ice-Ts Cop Killer is misunderstood. “It doesnt induce or glorify violence.Its his fictionalized attempt to get ins

13、ide a characters head.Cop Killer is no more a call for gunning down the police than Frankie and Johnny is a summons for jilted lovers to shoot one another. Instead of “finding ways to silence the messenger“, we should be “heeding the anguished cry contained in his message“. This defense is self-cont

14、radictory. Frankie and Johnny does not pretend to have a political “message“ that must be “heeded“. If Cop Killer has a message, it is that the murder of policemen is a justified response to police brutality. And not in self-defense, but in premeditated acts of revenge against random cops. Killing p

15、olicemen is a good thing that is the plain meaning of the song, and no “larger understanding“ of black culture, the rage of the streets or anything else can explain it away. As in much of todays popular music, the line between performer and performance is purposely blurred. These are political sermo

16、nettes clearly intended to support the sentiments being expressed. Tracy Marrow (Ice-T) himself has said, “I scared the police, and they need to be scared“. That seems clear. The companys second defense of Cop Killer is the classic one of free expression: “We stand for creative freedom. We believe t

17、hat the worth of what an artist or journalist has to say does not depend on preapproval from a government official or a corporate censor“. Of course Ice-T has the right to say whatever he wants. But that doesnt require any company to provide him an Outlet. And it doesnt relieve a company of responsi

18、bility for the messages it chooses to promote. Judgment is not “censorship“. Many an “anguished cry“ goes unrecorded. This one was recorded, and promoted, because a successful artist under contract wanted to record it. Nothing wrong with making money, but a company cannot take the money and run from

19、 the responsibility. The founder of Time, Henry Luce, would have scorned the notion that his company provided a value-free forum for the exchange of ideas. In Luces system, editors were supposed to make value judgments and promote the truth as they saw it. 21 In the eyes of the author, Ice-Ts Cop Ki

20、ller should be condemned for _. （ A） praising acts of violence against police. （ B） seeking to earn enormous sums of money. （ C） working under contract with a company. （ D） exercising revenge against random cops. 22 Gerald Levin mentions the case of Frankie and Johnny to justify _. （ A） calling for

21、creative freedom. （ B） bringing home to self-defenses. （ C） perceiving true messages. （ D） accepting the murder of lovers. 23 It is often claimed that some messages conveyed in popular music _. （ A） are nothing but fictions. （ B） are intended for performers. （ C） are supposed to be true. （ D） are to

22、o vague to recognize. 24 The author asserts that Gerald Levins defenses of Cop Killer are _. （ A） unreasonable but clear. （ B） illogical and outmoded. （ C） simple and responsible. （ D） fresh but superficial. 25 It can be learned that the company has moved far from its founders _. （ A） notional rigid

23、ity. （ B） creative styles. （ C） official images. （ D） media criteria. 26 Until recently, mobile radio was to wireless communications what the Yugo was to transportation. With a mixed clientele ranging from truckers using CBs to police armed with walkie-talkies to taxi drivers dispatched by radio, it

24、 was viewed as an unglamorous business and a technological backwater. But specialized mobile radio, as it is known, has been rediscovered. It is now considered one of the biggest prizes in the all-out war for the public airwaves. The reason: high-tech companies have figured out how to profitably reb

25、uild the antiquated dispatching system into an advanced cellular-telephone network that can take on the likes of AT he makes unauthorized copies of Kevin Costners latest film, sells fake Cartier watches and steals the formula for Mercks newest pharmaceutical. Thats where the money is. F. One reason

26、is that any countries offer only feeble protection to intellectual property. Realizing that such laxness will exclude them from much world trade as well as hobble native industries, nations everywhere are revising laws covering patents, copyrights and trade names. Malaysia, Egypt, China, turkey, Bra

27、zil and even the Soviet Union have all recently announced plans either to enact new laws or beef up existing safeguards. In an effort to win U.S. congressional support for a proposed free-trade pact, Mexico last month revealed plans to double the life of trademark licenses to 10 years and extend pat

28、ent protection for the first time to such products as pharmaceuticals and food. G. Companies are cracking down on pirates who steal designs, movies and computer programs. The battle is getting hotter and more important. When Johnson & Johnson introduced a new fiber-glass casting tape for broken bone

29、s several years ago, executives at Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing flew into a rage. The tape, which sets fractures faster than plaster, was remarkably similar in design and function to a casting tape developed by 3M scientists. The St. Paul-based company quickly sued, charging J & J with violating

30、 four of its patents. Last month a federal court backed 3M and ordered J & J to pay $116 million in damages and interest the fourth largest patent-infringement judgment in history. Order: G is the first paragraph and F is the last. Part C Directions: Read the following text carefully and then transl

31、ate the underlined segments into Chinese. (10 points) 46 The level of economic and industrial development enjoyed by a state affects the foreign policy goals it can pursue. (46)As a general proposition, the more developed a state is economically, the more likely it is that it will play an activist r

32、ole in the world political economy. Rich nations have interests that extend far beyond their borders and typically command the means necessary to pursue and protect them. (47)Not coincidentally, countries that enjoy industrial capabilities and extensive involvement in international trade also tend t

33、o be militarily powerful, in part because military might is a function of economic capabilities. For two decades after world war two, the United States and the Soviet Union stood out as superpowers precisely because they benefited from that combination of economic and military capability including e

34、xtensive arsenals of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them anywhere, that enabled both to practice unrestrained globalism. Their imperial reach and interventionist behaviors were seemingly unrestrained by limited wealth or resources. In fact, major powers have been involved in foreign confli

35、ct more frequently than minor powers. Although economically advanced nations are more active globally, this does not mean that their privileged circumstances dictate adventuresome policies. Rich nations are usually “satisfied“ ones that have much to lose from the onset of revolutionary change or glo

36、bal instability. (48)For this reason, they usually perceive preservation of the status quo as serving their interests best, and they often practice international economic policies designed to protect and expand their envied position at the pinnacle of the global hierarchy. Levels of productivity and

37、 prosperity also affect the foreign policies of the poor states at the bottom of the hierarchy. (49)Some respond to their economic weakness by complying subserviently with the wishes of the rich on which they depend. Others rebel defiantly, and they sometimes succeed in resisting major power efforts

38、 to control their international behavior. Hence efforts to generalize about the economic foundations of states international political behavior often prove unrewarding. Levels of economic development vary widely among states in the international system, but they do not by themselves determine foreig

39、n policies. (50)Instead the opportunities and constraints that leaders perceive in their nations attributes, rather than the actual level of development, may be the determining source of states international conduct.
