The most important reason why people are moving to cities is economic. People are moving to the cities because that’s where they can find jobs and earn money.

2009.9．13高级口译真题听力原文与答案解析9.13高口听力原文Spot Dictation(精准版)权威发布For more than two centuries, America’s colleges and universities have been the backbone of the country’s progress. They have educated the technical, managerial and professional work force and provided generation after generation of national leaders. Today, educators from around the country are up to find many reasons for the excellence of American universities. But four historic Acts stand out as watersheds.First , education for the mass. In 1862, Congress enacted the Land Grant College Act, which essentially extended the opportunity of higher education to all Americans, including women and minorities. Each state was permitted to sell large tracts of federal land, and use the proceeds to endow at least one public college.Second, competition breeds success. Over the years, the decentralization and diversity of the America’s colleges and universities have promoted competition for students and resources. Competitive pressure first arose during the Civil War when president Lincon created the National Academy of Science to advise Congress on any subject of science and art. The Academy’s impact really grew after world war II when a landmark report commissioned by the then president argued that it was the federal government’s responsibility to provide adequate funds for basic research. Instead of being centralized in government laboratories, scientific research became decentralized in American universities and generated increasing investment. It also gave graduate students research opportunities and helped spread scientific discoveries far and wide, to the benefit of industry, medicine and society as a whole.Thirdly, investing in the future. The end of World War II saw the passage of the servicemen’s Reajustment Act of 1944. The law, which provided for a college or vocational education forreturning veterans, made the higher education systmen accessible in ways that were inconceivable in Europe, opening the doors of best universities to men and women who had never dreamed of going to college.Finally , promoting diversity. The creation of federal loan and subsidy programs as well as outright grants for college students brought much needed diversity to high eduction and further helped to democratize access. Since its founding in 1965, the Federal Family Education Loan Program has funded more than 74 million student loans worth more than 180 billion dollars.首发：新东方9.13高口听力SD 答案1.managerial and professional2.excellence of American universitiescation for the mass4.women and minorities5.one public college6.decentralization and diversitypetition for students and resources8.the National Academy of Sciencemissioned by10.provide adequate funds11.scientific research became decentralized12.gave graduate students research opportunities13.to the benefit of industry14.investing in the future15.for returning veterans16.were inconceivable in Europe17.never dreamed of going to college18.loan and subsidy programs19.helped to democratize access20.more than 180 billion dollars9.13高口听力原文News(精准版)权威发布London, the United KingdomThe left-leaning think tank, the Institute for Public Policy Research, IPPR, has warned the UK chancellor not to use green taxes to plug the hole in government finances. Its new research shows that government could gain ￡3.5 billion a year through a carbon tax on homes and vehicles. But IPPR says this would harm the poor unless ministers give back all the cash in the form of benefits, tax breaks and home insulation. IPPR has developed a computer model to assess the benefits and drawbacks of environmental taxes. The preliminary findings suggest that taxes can prove a useful tool in achieving environmental objectives. But IPPR says it would be a mistake to use them to raise money because unless they are counterbalanced, they inevitably hit the poorest hardest and are mistrusted by the public.Munich, GermanyGerman business confidence rose less than expected in May as sluggish demand weighed on construction and manufacturing, though outlook for the six-month ahead improved, aclosely-watched survey showed. The Munich-based IFO institute＇s business climate index increased to 84.2 points in May from 83.7 points in April. That’s a steady increase from 82.2 points in March, the lowest level in 26 years. IFO said in release that manufacturers reported a poorer business situation this mouth than in April, but expect improvement in the next six months.Germany’s economy went into recession last fall as the global economic crisis sapped demand for its exports.Washington, the United StatesPresident Obama’s tougher new fuel efficiency standards bring industry, environmentalists and states together to start cutting greenhouse gas emissions from cars. But the reductions would represent only a drop in the bucket of what’s needed to address global warming. White House officials say the proposal would cut greenhouse gas emissions by about 900 million metric tons. That's the total reduction of pollution from the five model years of cars and trucks covered by the proposal. Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson notes that even though the pollution reductions are big, they’re dwarfed by the massive challenge of global warming. “This action alone—I don’t want to mislead anyone—is not going to change global temperatures. Obviously, it is one step on a long road.”OPEC, AsiaA lowered edge lower last week, oil price rose to ＄61 a barrel Monday in Asia as investors eyed an OPEC meeting this week and weighed evidence of a global economic recovery. Trading was light because US markets are closed Monday for Memorial Day. Benchmark crude for July delivery was ＄61.32 a barrel by mid-day on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Friday, the contract rose to settle at ＄61.67. Oil has rallied on investor optimism that the worst of the global economic downturn is over. In Asia , there are signs that the drop in exports has bottomed, although the outlook remains murky.L’Aquila ItalyScores of people were killed and tens of thousands left homeless in central Italy today after a powerful earthquake shook a mountain region, severely damaging a historic city and leavinghundreds feared trapped in rubble. At least 92 people were known to have died , and more than 1500 people had been injured, the Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, told a press conference in L’Aquila , the badly damaged capital of the Abruzzo region, close to the quake’s epicenter. The 6.3-magnitude tremor was the country’s deadliest since the Irpinia quake in the south in November 1980, which killed more than 2400 people.6.Why has the left-leaning IPPR warned the government not to use green taxes to raise money?7.Which of the following best describes Germany’s current economy?8.Which of the following statement is true about President Obama’s proposal about new fuel efficiency standards?9.What price was oil on Monday in Asia?10.At least how many people were known to have died in the recent earthquake in central Italy?2009年9.13高级口译考试News听力解析上海新东方口译研究中心 K本次新闻考试重点考察新闻导语部分涉及到的事件及数字。
