第3题：
E
Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own。We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies Beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists（幻想）literature or movies like the lord of the rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other，to the world around us ,and to the world of make-believe.but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings，as biologists have suggested，possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms，However, people，especially in big eities，often lead rather isolated lives，In a study of British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than common wildlife.without modem technology，a small Pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants，insects，birds，and animals 。when we lack meaning（交互）with the world around us,and somethings even with our families and friends，we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad,but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路）for our sense of wonder，then we are really missing something，we are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful wonderful worlds exist all around us.but even more interesting is that if we look closely enough，we can see that these worlds,in a broad sense,are really part of our own.

第5题：
Early in the age of affluence that followed World War II,an American retailing analyst named Victor Lebow proclaimed,
“Our enormously productive economy...demands that we make consumption our way of life,that we convert the buying and
use of Eoods into rituals,that we seek our spiritual satisfaction,our ego satisfaction,in consumption...We need things
consumed,burned up,worn out,replaced and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”
Americans have responded to Lebow’s call,and much of the world has followed.Consumption has become a central pillar of life in industrial lands and is even embedded in social values.
Opinion surveys in the world’s two largest economies-Japan and the United States-show consumerist definitions of
success becoming ever more prevalent.
Overconsumption by the world’s fortunate is an environmental problem unmatched in severity by anything but perhaps
population growth.Their surging exploitation of resources threatens to exhaust or unalterably spoil forests,soils,water,air and climate.
Ironically,high consumption may be a mixed blessing in human terms,too.The time-honored values of integrity of
character,good work,friendship,family and community have often been sacrificed in the rush to riches.Thus many in the
industrial lands have a sense that their world,of plenty is somehow hollow-that,misled by a consumerist culture,they have
been fruitlessly attempting to satisfy what are essentially social,psychological and spiritual needs with material things.
Of course,the opposite of overconsumption-poverty-is no solution to either environmental or human problems.It is infinitely worse for people and bad for the natural world too.Dispossessed peasants slash-and-burn their way into the rain forests of
Latin American,and hungry nomads turn their herds out onto fragile African grassland,reducing it to desert.If environmental
destruction results when people have either too little or too much,we are left to wonder how much is enough.What level of
consumption can the earth support When does having more cease to add noticeably to human satisfaction
Apart from enormous productivity,another important impetus to high consumption is___________.《》（）A.the conversion of the sale of goods into rituals
B.the people’s desire for a rise in their living standards
C.the imbalance that has existed between production and consumption
D.the concept that one’s success is measured by how much they consume答案：D解析：本题考查细节。
题干问的是“除了巨大的生产能力，导致高消费的另一个重要推动力是”文章第3段提到“在日本和美国这两个最大的经济强国，民意调查表明对成功从消费主义角度所下的定义日益得到广泛认同”，由此可见，“成功是由他们高消费多少来衡量的”这一概念对人们的高消费起着重要的推动作用。D选项，个人成功由他消费多少商品衡量这一观念，综上，D选项正确。
A选项，商品的销售转变为一种惯例，不合题意，故排除。
B选项，人们渴望生活水平提高，不合题意，故排除。
C选项，生产和销售之间存在的不平衡，不合题意，故排除。

D选项，第二次世界大战后富裕社会的出现导致消费主义崇拜。文章前几段提到“Lebown呼吁我们生产力极高的经济要求我们将消费作为我们的生活方式，将购买和使用商品看成是生活的惯例，并要求我们在消费中寻求精神满足和自我满足”，“美国人响应他的号召，世界上大部分人也尾随其后”，“在工业国家中消费已成为生活的中心支柱，甚至渗透到社会的价值观中”。而这种种均是二战后富裕社会的出现带来的结果，亦是崇尚消费主义的表现，综上，D选项正确。

第11题：
问答题This is the world out of which grows the hope, for the first time in history, of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear. Our very anxiety is born of our knowledge of what is now possible for each and for all. The number of people who consult psychiatrists today is not, as is sometimes felt, a symptom of increasing mental ill health, but rather the precursor of a world in which the hope of genuine mental health will be open to everyone, a world in which no individual feels that he needs be hopelessly broken-hearted, a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself. But if our anxieties are actually signs of hope, why is there such a voice of discontent abroad in the land? I think this comes perhaps because our anxiety exists with accompanying recognition of the tragedy which will always be inherent in human life, however well we build our world. We may banish hunger, violence and secret police, we cannot—as we have tried to do—banish death itself.正确答案：
有史以来第一次,这个世界有望成为一个没有贫困、没有恐惧的社会。由于每个人,所有的人都知道自己的命运,我们的焦虑也就由此产生。今天这么多的人去找精神病医生咨询,并不像人们常常感到的那样说明了越来越多的人患精神病,而只是预示着这样一个世界的到来:在那里,真正精神健康的希望之门将对每个人开放。他不必因为自己失败了,给他人造成威胁了,或背叛了自己的信仰而伤心欲绝,感到无可救药了。但是如果我们的焦虑是希望的象征,为什么到处还听到这样一种不满的声音呢?我认为这可能是我们焦虑的同时没有认识到这一点,即无论我们把这个世界建设得如何好,人类生活始终摆脱不了自身的悲剧。我们可以消灭饥饿,消灭暴力,消灭秘密警察,但我们无法,虽然一直在努力,使人不死。解析：
【翻译要点】
本题值得注意的是第三句...a world in which no individual feels that he needs be hopelessly broken-hearted, a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself中的同位语结构。在翻译中，若分析不够，很容易造成误译。显然a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself应是he的同位语，进一步说明he的。一般说来，作为同位关系的两个词语应放在一起的，但由于修饰关系，也有分开的。 -

E Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole socicties beyond our everyday lives.

But have we gone to far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the phcasure of other worlds that alrewly exist all around us?

第22题：
问答题One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development (1) com____, the coronal wisdom has been that the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to (2) r____ the standard of living that most of the people in North America enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits (3)____ how much we could consume. We (4) m____ only 6 percent of the world’s people; yet we consume one third of the world’s resources. As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from (5) w____ our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in (6)____ of “our” resources and “their” resources, but only of (7) c____ resources. As Americans consume such a(n) (8)____(proportion) share of the world’s resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of (9)____(scarce). We are now reaching the point at which we must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn’t make (10) d____. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world’s resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.正确答案： 1.community community社会整体,大众。这里指由各个国家共同构成却又彼此独立的有机整体。
2.reach reach the standard of living达到生活标准。
3.on limit后能接of,to,on/upon等介词,意思不相同。limit后接on,指对…施加限制,如:place a limit on the number of visitors限制参观的人数。limit后接of指…的限制,如:reach the limit of one’s patience达到了忍无可忍的地步。
4.make make构成。此句译为:我们只占世界人口的6%,但我们消费的资源却占世界三分之一。
5.within 该句译为:既然我们过去每年消耗的资源主要来自国内,这个问题基本上就只属于本国内部事务。与后一句的from the outside world形成对比,故填within。
6.terms in terms of根据,按照,用…的话,在…方面。
7.common common共有的,强调每个成员都有份,如:common interests共同利益。for the common good为公共利益。
8.disproportionate 上文谈到美国人口仅占世界6%,但消耗的资源却占三分之一,这是与人口不成比例的,故填disproportionate。
9.scarcity 文章主题句说:正当我们面临着世界资源匮乏之际,一个焦点问题就是国家间如何分配有限的资源。与主题句中的scarcity对应。
10.difference 此句可译为:如果你只有一块干面包,再得到一块,那你的生活就会大大改善,但如果你已有一整条面包,再多得一块,并没多少区别。解析： 暂无解析 -
