Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Doors and windows can't keep them out; airport immigration officers can't stop them and the Internet is an absolute reproduction soil. They seem harmless in small doses, but large imports threaten Japan's very uniqueness, say critics. "They are foreign words and they are infecting the Japanese language".
"Sometimes I feel like 1 need a translator to understand my own language," says Yoko Fujimura with little anger, a 60-year-old Tokyo restaurant worker. "It's becoming incomprehensible. '
It's not only Japan who is on the defensive. Countries around the globe are wet through their hands over the rapid spread of American English. Coca-Cola, for example, is one of the most recognized terms on Earth.
It is made worse for Japan, however, by its unique writing system. The country writes all imported utterances except Chinese—in a different script. called katakana(片假名). It is the only country to maintain such a distinction. Katakana takes far more space to write than kanji—the core pictograph(象形文字)characters that the Japanese borrowed from China 1,500 years ago. Because it stands out, readers complain that sentences packed with foreign words start to resemble extended strings of lights. As if that weren't enough, katakana terms tend to get confusing. For example, digital camera first appears as degitaru kamera. Then they became the more ear-pleasing digi kamey. But kamey is also the Japanese word for turtle. "It's very frustrating not knowing what young people are talking about," says humorously Minoru Shiratori, a 53-year-old bus driver. "Sometimes I can't tell ff they're discussing cameras or turtles."
In a bid to stop the flood of katakana, the government has formed a Foreign Words Committee to find suitable Japanese replacements. The committee is slightly different from French-style. language police, which try to support a law that forbids advertising in English. Rather, committee members and traditionalists hope a sustained campaign of persuasion; gentle criticism and leadership by example can turn the tide.
According to the author, the possible reason wily the Japanese is infected greatly by English is ______.
The Security Council is the most powerful body in the UN. It is responsible for maintaining international peace, and for restoring peace when conflicts arise. Its decisions are binding on all UN members.
The Security Council has the power to define what is a threat to security, to determine how the UN should respond, and to enforce its decisions by ordering UN members to take certain actions.
The Council convenes(召集)any time there is a threat to peace. A representative from each member country who sits on the Council must be available at all times so that the Council can meet at a moment's notice. The Security Council also frequently meets at the request of a UN member—often a nation with a grievance (委屈，冤情) about another nation's actions.
The Security Council has 15 members, five of which hold permanent seats. The Assembly elects the other ten members for two-year terms. The five permanent members — the United States, Britain, France, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union), and China have the most power. These nations were the winning powers at the end of World War II, and they still represent the bulk of the world's military might.
Decisions of the Council require nine votes. But any one of the permanent members can veto an important decision. This authority is known as the veto right of the great powers. As a result, the Council is effective only when its permanent members can reach a consensus(一致同意).
The Council has a variety of ways it can try to resolve conflicts among countries. Usually the Council's first step is to encourage the countries to settle their disagreements without violence. The Council can mediate (仲裁，调停) a dispute or recommend guidelines for a settlement. It can send peacekeeping troops into a distressed area. If a war breaks out, the Council can call for a ceasefire. It can enforce its decisions by imposing economic sanctions on a country, or through joint military action.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？
听力原文：Richard: Hello, Bob.
Bob: Hello, Richard. How are you？
Richard: Fine, thanks, and you？
Bob: Not too bad. I'm thinking of going on holiday somewhere next month. I don't know if you've made your holiday plans yet, but if not, perhaps you'd like to come with me.
Richard: Thanks, that's very kind of you. Where are you planning to go？
Bob: I thought I might go camping in Scotland. What do you think of that？
Richard: Fine. Sounds like a good idea. And for how long—a fortnight？
Bob: Yes, I'm hoping to have two weeks' holiday next month.
Richard: Good. Well, providing I finish all my work on time, I'll be able to have two weeks' holiday, too.
Bob: Will Joyce be coming with us？
Richard: I'm not sure. Maybe. The problem is that she always gets one week's holiday, and of course she can't really afford a holiday this year.
Bob: Oh, dear! That's a pity! Well, the holiday shouldn't cost very much.
Richard: Suppose you had a lot of money, Bob, where would you like to go for a holiday？
Bob: Oh, I don't know. I think I would probably go to America or Japan.
Richard: If I had a lot of money, and 4 weeks' holiday I would go to Asia, I think, and travel.
Bob: Yes, that would be fantastic. Anyway, stop dreaming. We're going to Scotland and I hope it doesn't rain.

听力原文： The world I entered at the age of eighteen was a very cheap world. Prices were stable. When I entered St. Thomas' Hospital I rent a set of rooms in Vincent Square for which I paid 18 shillings a week. My landlady provided me with a very good breakfast before I went to the hospital and a dinner when I came back at half past six. I only had to pay for the breakfasts and dinners twelve shillings a week. For four-pence I lunched at St. Thomas' on bread and butter and a glass of milk. I was able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself, and have a lot of fun on fourteen pounds a month. And I could always pawn my microscope for three pounds.
I spent five years at St. Thomas' Hospital. I was a bad student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted, to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my dinner, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel called "Liza of Lambeth", which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It came out during my last year at the hospital and it was successful It was of course an accident, but I did not know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I left for Spain to write another book. I did not realize, at that time, that I was taking a great risk.
