If we think deeply to the topic,we would find that this phenomenon has more disadvantages than advantages.2.This phenomenon has many advantages for receiving countries which will automatically benefit from the skills and talents of immigrated people who were educated and qualified in their home countnes.3.However,developing countries are deeply affected by this phenomenon since they are deprived from millions of their skilled workers, doctors,hardworking Engineers,and billions of man power. Those elites represent the backbone of their economies and once they travel abroad,their economies will not flourish and promote.In fact,there are many reasons behind brain drain.Firstly,the Government is the first responsible for brain drain. The salaries paid by local companies are much less than multinational foreign companies,which pushes millions of intelligent,hardworking Engineers to leave their native countries to look for a better life and opportunities.Secondly,the status and facilities provided by foreign companies are much higher in quality and quantity.Also,some people find it a matter of pride and dignity to work as an employee in foreign countries.4.But we have to mention that brain drain does not only affect developing countries but also has some advantages for them.People living abroad help foreigners to know about their cultures and traditions.Also,they give information about various natural beauties and tourist spots in their home countries,which encourages tourists to visit them.

    资料:Up to 80 per cent of the world’s middle classes will live in developing countries by 2030 thanks to surprising recent gains in poverty reduction, according to a United Nations report published on Thursday.
    “Never in history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast.” concludes the UN’s latest Development Report. “The world is witnessing an epochal ‘global rebalancing’.”
    Underpinning the improvements in the human development index(HDI) was rapid growth in countries such as China, India and Brazil, with China and India having doubled per capita economic output in less than 20 years. But the study stressed that growth and improvements in HDI spread far beyond the four Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and included at least 40 countries that had accompanied greater economic dynamism with effective poverty-reduction policies.
    Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. The report stated that such gains had already helped the world achieve the main poverty eradication goal of the so-called Millennium Development Goals, which called for the share of people living on less than $1.25 a day to be cut by half from 1990 to 2015.
    Underpinning this poverty reduction was developing countries’ increasing share of global trade, which grew from 25 per cent to 47 per cent between 1980 and 2010. “The south as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries,” says the report.
    The report found that trade among developing countries was the biggest factor in that expansion, increasing from less than 10 per cent of total global trade to more than 30 per cent. “Trade between countries in the south will overtake that between developed nations,” the report said.

    “More than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone” illustrates ______.

    A.the economic development of China is important
    B.the role of some developing countries is significant for poverty reduction
    C.14 countries are developing faster than China
    D.it is crucial to make a clear goal first

    答案:B

Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. 自2000年以来,有14个国家的人类发展指数出现了每年逾2%的增长,其中包括阿富汗、塞拉利昂、埃塞俄比亚、卢旺达和安哥拉。报告发现,这在一定程度上导致极端收入贫困比例从1990年的43%降至2008年的仅有22%,其中仅中国一个国家就有逾5亿人脱贫。
    【解析】本题的问题是“‘其中仅中国一个国家就有逾5亿人脱贫’阐明了______”。A选项“中国的经济发展十分重要”,B选项“在扶贫工作中,一些发展中国家角色举足轻重”,C选项“14个国家比中国发展更迅速”,D选项“首先树立清晰目标至关重要”。根据主题句和第3自然段可知,发展中国家经济发展对消除世界贫困人口意义十分重大,因此,选项B正确。选项A过于片面,选项C文中没有将14个国家和中国经济发展进行比较,选项D属于主观臆断。

    Cities“Worse to Live in Than 20 Years Ago”
    One thousand people were surveyed about a range of issues which affect cities,and the re-markable findings show that life in today's mega-cities is so stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.
    The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list of problems.For many people,the daily commute to work is a source of frustration.40% of the people in the sur-vey have suffered from road rage while stuck in traffic on the way to work.The cost of public transport is also a serious problem.Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to transport costs.
    The general cost of living in cities is another problem.The high property prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time buyers.Many young people are priced out of the housing market,and have to take in lodgers to make ends meet,or rent over-priced flats miles away from the city centre .In London,for instance,the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.
    Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.Crime rates have rocketed in many big cities,and many say there are several dangerous no-go areas in their city.Fear of crime is on the increase-street crimes,such as mugging and assault,are now very common-and many are afraid of going out at night alone.
    Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities for children.Most major conurbations(有卫星城的大都市)surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gar- dens than a generation ago.Planning permission seems to have been given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets,office developments and apartments on sites where there were previously green spaces.Many of the respondents in the survey said they felt stressed and suffocated in the city,a problem which is compounded by pollution.
    And finally,the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollu-lion—the roar of traffic , the sound of loud music blaring(发刺耳声)out of a neighbour's win-dow,and the constant sound of activity.It is not surprising,then,that the levels of stress-related illnesses among people who live in cities are higher than ever before .Big cities,once a mecca for ambitious people seeking fameJ and fortune,are now less and less popular among people of all ages .Perhaps the 21st century is set to be the century of the small town and the countryside.

    Most people in the survey who live in big cities would like to move somewhere smaller.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C:.Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    由第一段中的“ at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town”可知,在调查中,大多居住在大城市中的人想要迁居至乡村或小镇,即更小的地方。故选A。


    由第二段末句中的“Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high”可知,很多人认为地铁和公交的收费过高。由此可知,在调查中,很多人认为公共交通的收费并不合理。故选B。


    由第三段最后一句“In London, for instance, the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.”可知,因为房价太高,所以在伦敦很难买到房子。故选A。


    由第四段首句“Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.”可知,犯罪率近年来并没保持稳定。故选B0


    由第五段第二句“Most major conurbations surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gardens than a generation ago.”可以推断,城市中的绿化区域较之以前减少了。故选A。


    通读全文可以发现文章并未提及伦敦在减少污染方面的成功案例。故选C。


    由最后一段首句中的“the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollution”可以推断,受调查的很多人认为噪音污染是个大问题。故选A。

    Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020

    The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
    2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
    by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
    The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
    Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
    countries as well as rich ones.
    Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
    more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
    The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
    number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
    mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
    current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
    "Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
    first time, matching its effect in industrialized(工业化的)countries , " said researcher Paul
    Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
    disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
    terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
    The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
    developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
    countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors(肿瘤)
    at the time of diagnosis.
    Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
    to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens(致癌物),and an unhealthy
    Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
    prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
    in the West,which increase cancer rates.

    The report says that steps could be taken to reduce about
    A:50% of new cancers.
    B:33% of new cancers.
    C:12% of new cancers.
    D:80% of new cancers.

    All research findings show that the competition from unskilled immigrants depresses the wages of unskilled locals.

    Chronic Diseases: The World's Leading Killer

    Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world.Yet health experts say
    these conditions are often the most preventable.Chronic diseases include heart disease,
    stroke,cancer,diabetes(糖尿病)and lung disorders.
    The World Health Organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million
    early deaths each year.This United Nations agency expects more than three hundred eighty
    million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015.It says about eighty percent of the deaths
    will happen in developing nations.
    The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific
    area,ln ten years it could be almost three-fourths.People are getting sick in their most
    economically productive years.In fact,experts say chronic diseases are killing more
    middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones.
    The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than five hundred
    thousand million dollars in the next ten years.That estimate represents the costs of medical
    treatment and lost productivity.Russia and lndia are also expected to face huge economic
    losses.
    Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for
    Asia and the Pacific.Last week in Bangkok he presented a WHO report on the problem.It
    says deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in
    many countries.
    The report details the latest findings from nine countries.They include Brazil,Britain,
    Canada,China,India and Nigeria.The others are Pakistan,Russia and Tanzania.
    Mister Kim says infectious and parasitic(寄生的)diseases have until recently been the
    main killers in Asia and the Pacific.But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in
    most countries.
    Health officials say as many as eighty percent of deaths from chronic diseases could be
    prevented.They say an important tool for governments is to restrict the marketing of alcohol
    and tobacco to young people.Also,more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and
    more physical activity.
    UN officials aim through international action to reduce chronic-disease deaths by two
    percent each year through 2015.They say meeting that target could save thirty-six million
    lives.That includes twenty-five million in Asia and the Pacific.

    How many people in developing countries will probably die of chronic diseases by 2015?
    A: More than 17 million.
    B:More than 380 million.
    C: More than 304 million.
    D: More than 25 mullion.

    答案:C

    资料:Up to 80 per cent of the world’s middle classes will live in developing countries by 2030 thanks to surprising recent gains in poverty reduction, according to a United Nations report published on Thursday.
    “Never in history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast.” concludes the UN’s latest Development Report. “The world is witnessing an epochal ‘global rebalancing’.”
    Underpinning the improvements in the human development index(HDI) was rapid growth in countries such as China, India and Brazil, with China and India having doubled per capita economic output in less than 20 years. But the study stressed that growth and improvements in HDI spread far beyond the four Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and included at least 40 countries that had accompanied greater economic dynamism with effective poverty-reduction policies.
    Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. The report stated that such gains had already helped the world achieve the main poverty eradication goal of the so-called Millennium Development Goals, which called for the share of people living on less than $1.25 a day to be cut by half from 1990 to 2015.
    Underpinning this poverty reduction was developing countries’ increasing share of global trade, which grew from 25 per cent to 47 per cent between 1980 and 2010. “The south as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries,” says the report.
    The report found that trade among developing countries was the biggest factor in that expansion, increasing from less than 10 per cent of total global trade to more than 30 per cent. “Trade between countries in the south will overtake that between developed nations,” the report said.

    The passage mainly ______.

    A.discuss why developing countries are playing major role
    B.illustrate a theory for poverty reduction
    C.explain reasons behind a report
    D.interpret the role of trade for developing countries

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是主旨大意。

    U.S.Signs Global Tobacco Treaty 1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world.Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson, signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control(FCTC)this week at the United Nations.The Senate must still approve the treaty before the U.S.can implement its provisions.
    2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly,including the United States,last year.Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.
    3 For instance,cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack.The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes,restrictions on smoking in public places,and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs.It also requires bans on tobacco advertising,though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States,where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.
    4 The impact of the treaty could be huge.The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year.In the U.S.alone,about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses;about one-third of all cancers in the U.S.are caused by tobacco use.If current trends continue,WHO estimates,by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.
    5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect.So far,109 countries have signed it,and 1 2 have ratified it.

    Many more countries have signed the FCTC than those that______.
    A:have ratified it
    B:approving it
    C:implement its provisions
    D:restrict smoking in public places
    E:caused by tobacco use
    F:including higher tobacco taxes

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第一段主要讲美国朝着批准一项全球性烟草协议迈出了第一步,这一步指的是美国本周在联合国签署了烟草控制框架性协议。故选B。
    文章第二段讲烟草控制框架性协议是由世界卫生组织制定的,并且是在去年由世界卫生大会的成员国批准的。因此该段主要讲的是它的形成过程。故选D。
    文章第三段列举了烟草控制框架性协钱时已通过此协议的国家的一些具体要求。故选A。
    文章第四段通过列举吸烟所造成的危害来说明实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生的影响。故选E。
    由文章第一段第一句话“The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty…”可知,签署烟草控制框架性协议只是朝着批准该协议迈出的第一步。故选B。
    文章第二段最后一句话讲到通过烟草控制框架性协议的国家必须实施严格的烟草控制措施,而文章第三段列举了一些具体应实施的措施,其中包括限制在公共场所吸烟。故选D。
    文章第四段讲到,实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生巨大的影响,并列举了吸烟所造成的巨大危害。由此可见人们希望该协议的实施可以大大减少吸烟所造成的危害,尤其是大量的死亡。故选E。
    由文章第五段可知,已经签署烟草控制框架性协议的国家的数量大大超过了批准该协议的国家的数量。故选A。

    Need for Emphasis on Treatment

    AIDS programs in developing countries put too little emphasis on treatment,the World Health Organization
    said Tuesday,asking for more small community-based clinics to be opened to treat HIV-infected people.
    An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are living with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but
    only 440,000 people in developing countries were receiving treatment by the end of 2003,the UN health
    agency said in its annual report.
    "Without treatment,all of them will die a premature and in most cases painful death,"the WHO said in
    the 169-page World Health Report.
    WHO Director General Lee Jong-wook said community-based treatment should be added to disease pre-
    vention and care for sufferers in AIDS programs.
    "Future generations will judge our time in large part by our response to the AIDS disease,"Lee said.
    "By tackling it decisively we will also be building health systems that can meet the health needs of
    today and tomorrow. This is a historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss,"he added.
    Antiretroviral drugs enable people hit by AIDS to live longer. The annual cost of treatment,which was
    about $10,000 when the drugs were first developed,has dropped to about$150.
    Treatment programs also help AIDS prevention efforts,the report said,citing great demands for testing
    and counseling where treatment has been made available.
    Good counseling in turn leads to more effective prevention in those who are uninfected,and significantly
    reduces the potential for HIV carriers to pass on the infection,the report said.
    Since its discovery in the 1980s,more than 20 million have died of AIDS,mostly in poor countries.

    How many people have died of AIDS so far?
    A:36 million.
    B:46 million.
    C:Around 440, 000.
    D:More than 20 million.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题为事实细节分析题。从文章第二段“An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but only 440,000 people in developing countries were re-ceiving treatment by the end of 2003”可知,在非洲艾滋病患者高达两、三千万人,而生活在发展 中国家的艾滋病患者,接受治疗的人数却只有44万,相对来说太少了。
    从文章第二段中最后一句话中“annual report",可知世界卫生组织的“世界卫生报告” 是每年发表一次。

    Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020

    The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
    2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
    by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
    The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
    Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
    countries as well as rich ones.
    Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
    more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
    The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
    number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
    mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
    current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
    "Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
    first time, matching its effect in industrialized(工业化的)countries , " said researcher Paul
    Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
    disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
    terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
    The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
    developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
    countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors(肿瘤)
    at the time of diagnosis.
    Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
    to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens(致癌物),and an unhealthy
    Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
    prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
    in the West,which increase cancer rates.

    Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
    A:There were 1 0 million cancer patients worldwide in 2000.
    B:Generally,cancer accounted for 12% of all deaths in 2000.
    C:Cancer is the cause of over 25%of all deaths in many countries.
    D:It is expected that global cancer rates will go up by 50%by 2020.
