The World Bank estimates that more than 1,000 million people live on less than one dollar a day. These are the poorest of the poor, about one-sixth of the world population.
Martin, working for the Development Research Group at the World Bank, says about 50 percent of the people in several African countries are among the world's poorest.
But even though these areas remain extremely poor, world poverty has been cut in half over the last 20 years. The number of poor people dropped by almost 400 million between 1981 and 2001.
To reduce poverty, the World Bank says developing countries should expand the possibilities for business and investment. The bank's newest World Development Report notes that private industry creates more than 90 percent of jobs in developing countries.
Last week, about 50 heads of state discussed ways to reduce poverty during a one-day
conference in New York. The leaders and top officials met before the opening of the United Nations General Assembly meeting. The French President called for a world tax to help finance an anti-poverty campaign. Diplomats said international finances, airplane tickets and sales of heavy weapons were just some of the things that could be taxed.
Agriculture Secretary representing the United States at the conference said taxes on world trade would be impossible to put in place.

Health experts predict that soon, more people will die from cancer than from AIDS and tuberculosis and malaria combined. They expect that by 2010, cancer will become the world's leading cause of death.
Experts say one reason for more people dying from cancer is that more people are smoking cigarettes in developing countries. Forty percent of the world's smokers are believed to live in China and India.
The WHO report estimates that 12 million people will be found to have some form of cancer this year. It predicts that more than seven million people will die early as a result of cancer. And more than five million of new cancer cases will be found in developing countries.
Without new treatments, the WHO says, the number of new cancer patients could reach
27 million a year by 2030. The number of deaths could reach 17 million a year.
A separate report in December said the number of men and women dying of cancer in the
United States had dropped for the first time on record. The report in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute said the drop was mainly the result of fewer cases of lung cancer in men. In women, it resulted from fewer cases of breast cancer.
The American Cancer Society says governments can do things to help prevent the increase in cancer cases and deaths. And the cancer society says health officials and governments should invest more in cancer research and early detection.

A study has found that most people with severe mental health problems go untreated
in developing countries. The World Health Organization says between 75 and 85 percent had no treatment within the past year. In developed countries, between 35 and 50 percent went untreated.
Professors of Harvard University examined the results of questions asked of more than 60,000 adults in 14 countries between 2001 and 2003. They asked the same questions in every interview. They wanted to estimate how many people have mental disorders.
The percentage of people who said they had a mental disorder differed greatly from country to country. The researchers found that for most countries the rate was between
9 and 20 percent. The United States had the highest, at 26 percent of those questioned.
China had the lowest, at four percent.
The researchers say they believe this difference shows how mental health is seen differently around the world. They say people in many non-Western countries are often less likely to admit they have problems.
In almost every country, the more severe a problem was, the more likely it was to be treated. Still, the researchers say many people with minor mental health problems are treated, while many with serious disorders are not. They say this is not simply a problem of limited treatment resources. It also shows that resources are not being used well.
The researchers call for new efforts at early interference. They say early treatment of minor disorders could prevent many serious cases later.
22.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A) Effective measures to fight against mental disorders.
B) Causes of mental disorders in developing countries.
C) Serious consequences of mental disorders among adults.
D) General situation of mental disorders around the world.

23.What is the purpose of Harvard University professors' study?
A) To find out the number of people with mental disorders.
B) To examine the treatment of mental disorders in developing countries.
C) To classify mental disorders around the world into several categories.
D) To confirm the relationship between economic status and mental disorders.

C) The rate of interviewees admitting mental disorder was between 9 to 20 percent for
most countries.
D) The rate of interviewees admitting mental disorder was about the same in different
countries.
正确答案为C你没有作答。
解析：
题干的意思是：根据研究，以下哪个选项是正确的？音频提到美国的受访者中承认患有精神疾病的高达26%，中国为4%，但这两个数据并不代表所有美国人和所有中国人的精神疾病患病率，所以AB不选。事实是每个国家的受访者中承认患病的比率各不相同（differed greatly from country to country），大多数国家在9%到20%之间（for most countries the rate was between 9 and 20 percent），所以选C。
25.According to researchers, what is the best strategy against mental disorders?
A) Treat mental disorders at their initial stages.
B) Invest more in developing effective medicines.
C) Equally distribute relevant medical resources.
D) Give prior treatment to those with serious disorders.
正确答案为A你没有作答。
解析：
题干的意思是：研究人员认为对待精神疾病的最好策略是什么？音频开头就提到疾病得不到治疗（mental health problems go untreated），结尾再次强调研究人员呼吁早期干预（The researchers call for new efforts at early interference），早期治疗可以避免病情加重（early treatment of minor disorders could prevent many serious cases later），综合理解以上信息可以看出研究人员认为精神疾病应及早治疗，所以选A。

After years of shrinking benefits and increasing fees, frequent-flier programs are courting their most loyal customers again.
In recent weeks, American Airlines (36)introduced new awards for one-way flights; United dropped its $100 to $75 fees for booking an award within three weeks of travel; and Delta Air Lines made it (37)easier for frequent fliers to retain their VIP status.
Carriers have also been suspending mileage (里程) offers, (38)including double-mile promotions, and have even granted bonuses for booking online.
Those who follow the programs (39)describe the changes as a slight shift in a more consumer-friendly direction, giving customers more ways to (40)earn miles.
"What we're seeing is a bit of resurgence (复苏) on the airlines' part in focusing on their frequent-flier programs," said Tim Winship, who tracks loyalty programs for https://www.doczj.com/doc/fd3647861.html,.
But he added that the issue members care about most—being able to use their miles for free tickets —remains a (41)challenge , especially with planes flying nearly full.
Randy Petersen, founder of the frequent-flier sites https://www.doczj.com/doc/fd3647861.html, and https://www.doczj.com/doc/fd3647861.html,, said 2008 was a record year for award redemption (兑现), which he (42)attributed to travelers using miles for more common trips, like visits to relatives in foreign countries.
"In a good (43)economy , everyone wants to use their miles to go to Hawaii, London or San Francisco," he said. "But when the recession hit, award redemption really started to spread out because people were using their miles not as much for vacation as (44)necessary travel."
There have also been changes in financial regulations that require airlines to account for unused frequent-flier miles as a responsibility, which has (45)motivated carriers to make awards easier to obtain.
A) attributed
B) challenge
C) describe
D) earn
E) easier
F) economy
G) including
H) introduced
I) justified
J) legislation
K) motivated
L) necessary
M) nourish
N) sustainable
O) temptation
36.正确答案为H) introduced你没有作答。
解析：H) introduced
introduced：语法结构和语义逻辑题。根据语法，本句中American Airlines是主语，new awards是宾语，此处缺少谓语动词，前面有时间点，用一般过去时。结合语义，此句是说美国航空公司推出了新的优惠政策，选项中只有introduced符合句意，所以此处填入introduced。
easier：语义逻辑题。此句中缺少补语。前面提到航空公司给予订票优惠，按照此逻辑后面应该是对于常客，航空公司使他们能够更加容易地保持贵宾身份，所以此处填入easier。
including：语法结构题。根据语义，offers包括double-mile promotions，前者与后者是主动进行关系，用现在分词，所以此处填入including。
describe：语义逻辑和固定搭配题。根据语法，此句中Those是主语，who引导定语从句修饰those，the changes是宾语，主句缺少谓语动词，后面还有介词as与之搭配。此句是说那些人把这些变化描述为更加方便顾客， describe...as意思是“描述成”，所以此处填入describe。
earn：语义逻辑题。此句是说此项目变得更加方便顾客，为顾客提供多种途径来赚取飞行里程数，ways to 后面用动词原形，所以此处填入earn。
challenge：语义逻辑题。冠词a后面需要接名词。此句意思是大多数人想通过免票来赚取里数，这本来就很困难，后面进一步说特别是满员飞行时就更难了，此处用“挑战”一词符合语义，所以此处填入challenge。
attributed：语义逻辑和固定搭配题。which引导定语从句，从句中缺少谓语动词，而且为一般过去时，后面有to，而且to后面是名词成分travelers using miles，attributed...to意思是“归结于、归因于”，所以此处填入attributed。
economy：语义逻辑题。根据语法，空格处应为一个名词。而且，由转折连词But可以判断前后两句意思相对，后面用recession一词，意思是“当经济不景气时”，前面应该用In a good economy意思是“在经济状况良好时”，所以此处填入economy。
necessary：语义逻辑题。前面说当经济状况良好时，人们会去夏威夷、伦敦和旧金山，但是当经济不景气时人们就不随便出行，而是必要时才乘坐飞机，所以此处填入necessary。
motivated：语义逻辑题。本句意思是财政规则要求航空公司把乘客未使用的里数看成责任来对待，所以就使顾客能够更容易地得到优惠。此句是由which引导的非限制性定语从句，空格处为从句中的谓语，前面已经有助动词has，此处应为动词的分词形式，所以此处填入motivated。

For American Workers in China, a Culture Clash
A In the last few years, a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment, attracted by its faster-growing economy and lower jobless rate. As more Americans go to China, more Chinese and Americans are working side by side. Their Chinese co-workers are often around the same age. These cross-cultural partnerships, while beneficial in many ways, are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience, pay levels and communication.
B "The tight cooperation of the two countries in business and science makes the Chinese-American pairing one of the most common in the workplace in China," said Vas Taras, a management professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, a specialist in cross-cultural work group management. But the two groups were raised differently. The Americans have had more exposure to free-market principles. "Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment," said Neng Zhao, 28, a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital, a private equity firm (私人投资公司) based in Beijing. "We weren't. So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation."
C Sean Leow, 28, founder of Neocha, a social networking site based in Shanghai, says young Chinese employees often enter jobs with less hands-on preparation. They may also have less understanding of client services, he said. In addition, he said, "I know a lot of my Chinese colleagues did not do internships (实习) in college," in contrast to United States students.
D Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying a premium (额外补贴) for Western experience. Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts (职位相当的人) in similar positions, said Michael Norman, senior vice president at Sibson Consulting, an American firm. That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers. "There is definitely the perception that Americans get paid more for the same work," said Ting Wang, 25, an associate at WildChina, a travel company based in Beijing. The difference is a function of supply and demand, Mr. Norman said. "If you need the foreigner for their specialized knowledge of the West, companies are willing to pay a little more."
E On the other hand, Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences, like Confucianism and Communism, which play a part in their country's culture and economy. It is necessary for Americans working in China to adjust, said Mr. Norman, who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia. "In the West, there is such a premium on getting things done quickly, but when you come to work in China, you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business," he said.
F Ming Alterman, 25, a senior account executive at Razorfish, a Shanghai-based digital media firm, is the only American among 40 employees. He says Americans need to understand the importance of building so-called guanxi. The word means relationships, but has implications beyond the required happy hour, occasional lunches with the boss or networking. "In China, it's really expected that you become friends with your boss and you go out and communicate in a way that doesn't happen in the US," Mr. Alterman said.
G The Chinese now rising in the work force were raised and educated in a system that tended to prize obedience (服从). Their American counterparts may have had more room to question authority and speak their minds. This can affect workplace communication. When Corinne Dillon, 25, was working at a multinational company in Beijing, she noticed that her Chinese colleagues were sometimes hesitant about expressing their opinions, which she thought was rooted in views about hierarchy (等级制度). "Because foreigners are often in higher positions in companies, or even when they are not, there is sometimes an implicit respect given to them that makes Chinese people not want to directly disagree with them for fear of being perceived as impolite," said Ms. Dillon, who is now director of sales and marketing at That's Mandarin, a language school based in Beijing.
H The difference cuts both ways. Ms. Zhao, of Blue Oak Capital, recalled her first experience working for an American at an American-run agency in Beijing. What her American boss perceived as directness left her feeling ashamed, she said. "I remember I was so embarrassed when my American boss told me he didn't like something I was doing, right in front of me," she said. "The Chinese way would have been much more indirect."
I Communication styles, Professor Taras said, can create workplace challenges. "Americans often perceive the Chinese as less confident and not tough enough, whereas the Chinese may see Americans as rude or inconsiderate." This, he said, "can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings, but also affect promotion and task assignment choice, and ultimately performance." What is similar, though, is that both the Americans and the Chinese perceive a glass ceiling. "Most foreign colleagues don't speak good enough Chinese, so their promotion prospects are limited; and on a social and cultural level, young Chinese feel there are barriers that are hard to get past," said Ziyu Wen, 28, who works with Americans in her job as a communications manager in Beijing.
J Despite the tension, the Chinese-American pairing holds many economic and political benefits for both countries. "China needs workers who understand China and the West, so they can develop a business presence and influence in overseas markets," Mr. Norman said. "Likewise, America needs people who truly understand the Chinese, in order to compete and cooperate." Having Americans working alongside the Chinese in China, he said, "is one of the best ways to cultivate this understanding for the future."

This phenomenon has raised considerable concern among parents and college faculties about living off campus, which is caused by the following reasons. To begin with, living conditions of an apartment off campus may be better than those of a dormitory. A rented apartment is often equipped with an independent washroom and a shower equipment which may be of great advantage over the school dormitory. In general, a typical dormitory often accomodates four or six, or even eight students and it is too crowded and noisy for those who prefer private space as well as quiet circumstances. In addition, instead of being regulated by dormitory rules, students may enjoy more freedom in a rented apartment. If college students intend to rent an apartment, I think they should give top priority to safety. It is important to make a survey of the surroundings first to ensure the security. Besides, when they tend to enjoy the freedom, they should have a better sense of self-control and make good use of their time. 范文点评： 作文是一篇涉及校外租房话题的论述文，考生需要根据所给大纲进行写作。本文语言规范、地道、结构清晰。作者首先指出了当下大学生校外租房的普遍性；第二段通过to begin with 和in addition的使用，清晰地列举出校外租房相对于住宿舍的优势：公寓房条件要比宿舍好，而且学生可以享有更多的自由。最后，作者给出了自己的建议，如果想要校外租房，首先要考虑的就是安全问题。 Part Ⅱ Section A Understanding Conversations

2019英语四级翻译新题型模拟练习及答案：中国家庭 文化 在传统的中国家庭文化中，同一祖先的几代后裔(descendants) 居住在一起，形成一个大家庭。这种自治(autonomous)家族制度是中国传统社会的基本单位。中国的孩子们跟随他们父亲的姓。这和西方文化是一样的。如今在中国，孩子跟父亲的姓或母亲的姓在法律上都是合法的。除了那些因为结婚加入到家庭中的人以外，人们的姓氏都是一样的。 In traditional Chinese family culture, descendants of several generations from the same ancestor lived together and formed a big family system. This kind of autonomous family system was the basic unit of traditional Chinese society. Chinese children follo w their father’s family name. This is the same as western culture. Nowadays in China it is legally fine for a child to follow either father’s family name or mother’s family name. Within each family system, of course people except those who joined this family system through marriage all have the same family name.
大学英语四级改革阅读理解新题型——匹配题 练习1 Caring for elderly parents catches many unprepared [A ] Last July, Julie Baldocchi，s mother had a massive stroke and was paralyzed. Baldocchi suddenly had to become a family caregiver, something that she wasn"t prepared for. “I was flying by the seat of my pants,” says Baldocchi, an employment specialist in San Francisco. Both of her parents are 83, and she knew her father couldn’t handle her mother’s care. The hospital recommended putting her mother in a nursing home. Baldocchi wasn’t willing to do that. But moving her back into her parents’ home created other problems. Baldocchi, 48, is married and lives about a mile away from her parents. She has a full-time job and has back problems that make it difficult for her to lift her mother. “I couldn’t do it all,” she says. “But I didn’t even know how to find help.” [B] With help from the Family Caregiver Alliance, she eventually hired a live-in caregiver. “But even if you plan intellectually and legally, you’re never ready for the emotional impact,” Baldocchi says. In the first two months after her mother’s stroke, she lost about 30 pounds as stress mounted. More than 42 million Americans provide family caregiving for an adult who needs help with daily activities, according to a 2009 survey by the AARP. An additional 61.6 million provided at least some care during the year. And many are unprepared. [C] While many parents lack an advance care directive, it’s the most basic and important step they can take. The directive includes several parts, including: a durable power of attorney, which gives someone legal authority to make financial decisions on another’s behalf; a health care proxy, which is similar to the power of attorney, except it allows someone to make decisions regarding medical treatment; and a living will that outlines instructions for end-of-life care. (For example, parents can say if they want to be kept alive by artificial measures.) “It’s invaluable for the kids, because it’s hard to make those decisions for a parent,”says Jennifer Cona, an elder- law attorney at Genser Dubow Genser & Cona in Melville, N.Y. An advance care directive is the first line of defense if a situation arises, says Kathleen Kelly, executive director of the Family Caregiver Alliance, which supports and educates caregivers. Without an advance directive, the family will have to petition the court to be appointed the parent’s legal guardian, says https://www.doczj.com/doc/fd3647861.html,. [D] It’s important for families to talk about long-term care so the adult children know their parents，preferences, wishes and goals, says Lynn Feinberg, a caregiving expert at AARP. But it’s not an easy conversation. Elderly parents are sometimes suspicious of their children’s financial motives, says Susan John, a financial planner at Financial Focus in Wolfeboro, N.H.

Reading Comprehension How to Build Team Spirit and Get and Get Best Sales Performance A)It is well-known fact that an organization can achieve a greater success if a few people get united and work towards goal together. An ordinary team can perform better provided they are motivated. There are many instances, where a team approach has succeeded better compared to an organization which is riddled with politics and managers who only think about themselves. In fact this is a basic problem among Indians as they always tend to develop “Frog Syndrome”. The frog syndrome does not allow other colleagues to go up in the ladder, which leads the organization to become an ordinary organization. Today the biggest problem in India many companies are facing is how to develop team sprit among people. This is very crucial point for the organization to make difference in today’s highly competitive environment. How can we develop such things today Of course, there are many ways which are given below. Develop team mot individual only B)The role of manger is to ensure that the people become cohesive(有 凝聚力的) and feel proud to be the member of the team. It is quite possible provided the manger himself is a team leader. He has to set the right target, create enthusiasm among the people, develop a positive attitude among the people and motivate them at the right time. If done, it is nothing succeeds like success. Right team spirit C)Right team sprit brings within the organization a vibrant feeling to an insider as well as outsider. There is always willingness to walk an extra mile among people to achieve the set objective. This leads to more congenial(令人愉快的) atmosphere within the organization. How many companies have succeeded in doing ht same Does it bring smiles to an ordinary person working in the organization If yes, that organization really can survive for a longer time. SMILE within the organization D) A happy employee always tends to achieve better. Many companies tend to take care of external customer but tend to forget the internal customers. Hence, companies should do retrospective analysis on satisfaction level of the internal employee. But how many companies bother to do that A real smile can help the organization to achieve better sales. SMILE = Sell More In Less Effort E)How many people can bring smile on the face of a person Therefore, there are few organizations which excel. However, this is possible provided the manger becomes a mentor. Manager should be a mentor to the people

Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake . 难点精析 ■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食：翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可，翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。 2.纪念：翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。 ■ 3.赛龙舟：翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”，“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。
