You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. It is often said that if we did not have the United Nations it would have to be invented.In a world filled with conflict, the UN provides the means for instant consultations among governments, as well as the platform for dealing with long-term problems. When negotiations between governments are deadlocked (陷入僵局), the UN provides the good offices of the Secretary-General to act as a neutral third party. The impartiality (公正) of the Secretary-General and of the UN is one of the Organizations most important assets (财产). In case of conflict, Member States, acting through the UN, can provide peacekeeping missions or act as a buffer (缓冲物) between opposing forces.Many global problems - poverty, unemployment, environmental pollution, international crime, AIDS, drug, international migration - can be tackled only through international cooperation. The UN system - already at work on these problems - provides the best mechanism available to support such cooperation.The UN and its agencies (including the World Bank) provide assistance to developing countries in grants and loans of over $25 billion a year. They protect refugees (难民), deliver food aid and respond quickly to natural disasters. They have helped wipe out or control disease, expand food production and increase longevity (寿命). They help build economies, provide loans to developing countries and help stabilize financial markets.All these vital services are provided at minimal cost. The annual cost of the entire UN system per person worldwide is $3.20; of the UN itself, 23 cents.21. According to this passage, the UN provides _.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 31 to 35. For Conversation Press # 1Ive got a cell phone, e-mail and voice mail. But why am I so lonely?A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There they were, talking and talking on a beautifully sunny day and I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing other people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pet their puppies. Evidently, the cordless electronic voice is preferable to human contact.The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends zooming down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a gadget designed to make communication easier.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the intimacy of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every conceivable contact between human beings gets automated, the alienation index goes up. You cant even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into the ATM? I am no Luddite. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, an email account. Giving them up isnt an option they are great for what they are intended to do. Its their unintended consequences that make me cringe.26. Why does the author feel lonely with a cell phone, e-mail and voice mail in hand?27. Why does he become invisible and absent from his conversation with his friend?28. Why does he think cell phones are preferable to human contact?29. What are the advantages of e-mail and voice mail?30. Whats the consequence brought about by the communications technology?Passage 3:Business InvitationBusiness invitations can be informal or formal. Although invitations are usually sent through the mail, informal invitations such as e-mail and phone invitations are becoming more acceptable. Invitation Timing For most formal occasions, its best to invite guests three or four weeks in advance. If you choose to invite your guests by phone, remind them again in writing two weeks before the gathering. Here are a few guidelines for your information: Six to eight months before an important seminar to which out-of-town executives are invited. Four weeks before an evening reception. Two to four weeks before a cocktail party.Invitation Format Formal business invitations are most commonly printed on white or off-white high-quality paper. A company can use any color of paper it desires, as long as it upholds and promotes the companys image. With preprinted invitations, you simply fill in the blanks to tell what, where, and when the party will be and who is giving it. Its also acceptable to include an RSVP notation and your phone number or address on the invitation for more accurate planning.Responding to an Invitation Either use the address or phone number printed in the lower left corner of the invitation or return the RSVP card sent with the invitation. If a “Please reply by” a given date is included in the invitation, be polite enough to reply by that date. If the words “Regrets only” are printed in the lower left corner of the invitation, you need only to inform the host if you will not be able to attend. If your host does not hear from you, you are expected to attend. Never ask to bring a guest unless the invitation states “Mr. Louis Winthorp and Guest.” Most likely, the host will have only enough food and drinks for the number of people he invites. Showing up with an uninvited friend could turn out to be an embarrassing situation for everyone.Answer the following questions according to the passage.31.What is the best timing for sending out an invitation to an evening reception?32. What is the primary consideration for a company to choose the color of the paper for its invitations?33. How do you handle the preprinted invitations?34. What do you need to do if “Regrets only” is printed in the lower left corner of the invitation?35. In what situation can you bring a guest?Passage 4:E-mail, a Blessing and AnnoyanceFor the blessing: E-mail is a conversation that does not require an immediate response (like a telephone). If someone calls you on the telephone, you pick it up (unless you have an answering machine, voice mail or you are just plain rude) and the conversation begins. This is an interactive conversation. With e-mail, you send a message and then wait for a response. The response may come in five minutes or it may come in five days. Either way, its not an interactive conversation. If a hundred people send you e-mails in one day, so what? You dont have to talk with all one hundred. Just think of all the hellos, goodbyes and other unnecessary chit-chat you can avoid. With e-mail, you only deal with their messages (which usually omit hellos, goodbyes and such) and you deal with them on your own time. Thats the blessing.Now for the annoyance: Too many e-mail users assume that the minute someone receives an e-mail, the person will read it. Bad assumption. If you schedule a meeting for an hour from now and send an e-mail to each participant, the chance that all the participants will read that message within the hour will be pretty small. On the other hand, if you schedule the meeting for the next day, the chance that they will read the message will be pretty high. Remember, e-mail is not designed for immediate response (thats why you have a telephone), its designed for convenience.Some (not all) e-mail systems have features that try to combat this problem. These features (usually called “notification”) will notify you when a person has received your e-mail and may also tell you when the person has read it (really all it can do is assure you that the person has looked at the first screen of the message it has no way to know if the person has read the message word for word). Referring back to the example in the previous paragraph, you could check to see who has checked their e-mail before the meeting and then telephone those who have not read it.Attachment: SmiliesSince there are no facial and voice cues to help e-mail, users have come up with something called “smilies”. They are simple series of symbols that are pieced together in the e-mail text to help express the writers feelings. The most common example is :-) (a smiling face). Answer the following questions according to the passage.36. Whats the difference between an e-mail conversation and a telephone conversation?37. Whats the blessing of e-mail?38. What is e-mail designed for?39. Whats the annoyance of e-mail?40. What are smilies?IV. Translation：(102%=20%)Translate the following Chinese sentences into English.
