全文翻译

甘地的和平主义在某种程度上可以与他的其他教义区分开来。其动机是宗教性质的,但他也说这是一种明显的技巧,一种方法,它可以产生预期的政治效果。甘地的态度不同于大多数西方和平主义者的态度。satyagraha——这个由甘地提出并付诸实践的方法,最早起源于南非,是一种非暴力的斗争方式,用既不伤害对方又不会引发仇恨的手段打败敌人。它包括诸如公民抗议、罢工、卧轨、忍受警方的指控既不逃跑也不还击等等。甘地反对把“satyagraha”翻译为“消极抵抗”,在古吉拉特语中,这个词的意思好像是“真理的坚定性”。早年间,在布尔战争期间甘地曾经为英方抬过担架,而且在1914-1918年战争期间他又准备这么做。即使在他彻底放弃暴力之后,他仍然很诚实地认识到在战争中必须要有明确的立场。由于他的整个政治生涯都在为民族独立而斗争,因此他不能,而且也确实没有采取毫无意义的、不诚实的态度,假装说在所有战争中参战双方完全一样,因而谁获得胜利都无所谓。他也没有像大多数西方和平主义者一样,专门躲避棘手的问题。对于战争,每一个和平主义者都有明确义务去回答的一个问题是:“犹太人怎么办?你准备看到他们被灭绝吗?”我必须说,我从未从任何一个西方和平主义者那里听到过对该问题的诚实的答复,但是却听见了大量的躲闪之词,通常都是“你是另外一回事”之类的回答。甘地在1938年也被问到了类似的问题。他的回答被收录在路易斯·费舍尔先生所著的《甘地和斯大林》一书中。据费舍尔先生记载,甘地认为德国犹太人应该选择集体自杀,“以唤起世界和德国人对希特勒暴政的认识”。

52. directions:

now more people are buying lottery tickets. study the following charts carefully and write an article on the topic of lottery. in your article, you should cover the following points:

1) describe the phenomenon;

2) analyze the phenomenon, and give your comments on it.

you should write about 200 words neatly on answer sheet 2. (20 points)

一、 审题谋篇

本题为图表加提纲式作文。写图表式作文的关键之一是把握指导语,因为它给出了作文的基本要求,指出了写作的方向;其次是对图表中的相关数据进行描述、分析和评论,它们往往是写作的材料或论据。由本题的指导语可知:文章要求联系图表以彩票为话题,对越来越多的人喜欢买彩票这一现象发表评论。作文的基本框架应为:(一)描述现象;(二)分析现象;(三)发表你的看法。其次,两个图表显示的是两个调查结果。图表一反映了北京、上海、广州三个城市里梦想有一天中500万的人的比例,平均为70%。图表二反映了中奖后,人们想做的事。由分析可知,图表一可用于描述现象,图表二可用于分析现象,作为支持论点(支持或反对买彩票)的论据。

二、 参考范文

nowadays, more and more people, especially in big cities, become interested in buying lottery tickets. according to chart 1, averagely 70 percent of those polled in the survey, held in three big cities, claimed to have dreamed of winning the big prize of five-million yuan. 85 percent of those polled in guangzhou had had such a dream, compared with 65 percent and 60 percent, respectively, in beijing and shanghai.

the attraction of buying lottery tickets is obvious. the winner can get the biggest profit for the future with only a small investment. it realizes the beautiful dream of every participant-to be richer and to improve living standards. as is shown in chart 2, should they win a big lottery, 81.3% of people would buy a new house, 61.9% would buy a car, and 61.7% would save the money for the education of themselves or their kids. and a great proportion of people say they would put the money in the bank or use it for investment or touring. despite all the attractions brought by the lottery buying, it has also come under criticism. some regard it as a kind of gambling, which is a potentially addictive behaviour.

in my opinion, buying lottery tickets is not so bad as some people think. instead, it is good for society by creating new jobs and representing an important source of income for charity and sports causes. of course, it is not a means of making money for individuals we should encourage, because the result is hardly predictable. therefore, we should take a positive but cautious attitude towards lottery buying behavior.

text 4

the world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. the process sweeps from hyperactive america to europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying:“won’t the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anticompetitive force?”

there’s no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful. multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982.today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. international affiliates account for a fastgrowing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. in argentina, for instance, after the reforms of the early 1990s, multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms. this phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.

i believe that the most important forces behind the massive m&a wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customer’s demands. all these are beneficial, not detrimental, to consumers. as productivity grows, the world’s wealth increases.

examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could recreate the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the u.s., when the standard oil trust was broken up. the mergers of telecom companies, such as worldcom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress. on the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast. in cars, too, concentration is increasing—witness daimler and chrysler, renault and nissan—but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.

yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched. a few weeks ago, alan greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry. who is going to supervise, regulate and operate as lender of last resort with the gigantic banks that are being created? won’t multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements to fair competition? and should one country take upon itself the role of “defending competition” on issues that affect many other nations, as in the u.s. vs. microsoft case?

63.what is the typical trend of businesses today?

[a]to take in more foreign funds[b]to invest more abroad

[c]to combine and BECome bigger[d]to trade with more countries

64.according to the author, one of the driving forces behind m&a wave is .

[a]the greater customer demands[b]a surplus supply for the market

[c]a growing productivity[d]the increase of the world’s wealth

65.from paragraph 4 we can infer that .

[a]the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers

[b]worldcom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs

[c]the costs of the globalization process are enormous

[d]the standard oil trust might have threatened competition

66.toward the new business wave, the writer’s attitude can be said to be .

[a]optimistic[b]objective[c]pessimistic[d]biased
