Directions :
Read the texts taken, from five people"s comments on an article on, the issue of global poverty. Forquestions 61 t0 65, match the name of each person, (61 t0 65) to one of the statements (A to G) givenbelow. Mark your answers on, your ANSWER SHEET1.
Ankita Agarwal:
Your article made me ashamed. I"ve always thought of myself as not the typical self-absorbed
teenager, but I guess I was wrong. While I sit in my large, warm and cozy house, wishing for theshoes and clothes I see in teen magazines, there are people in the world wishing for something as simple as clean water. Thank you -for reminding me about people who would be more than happy with what I have.
Janet Tejada:
What about the relationship between population, consumption and resources? After all, poverty, most simply defined, is not having enough resources. The steady growth of the global population, overconsumption of resources by developed nations such as the U. S. , and increasing levels of consumption among the growing middle class in many developing nations ensure that there is ever less of the planet"s already dwindling resources to go around.
Tadaship Kawabe:
Extreme poverty is so tragic. Sudden natural disasters like an earthquake mobilize a large number of people and money for a short period of time, while the slow but massive wave of poverty and death in Africa doesn"t attract the world"s attention in the same way. When we try to help those affected by disasters and extreme poverty, however, we shouldn"t focus on the overwhelming number of the dead but simply try to do something good for others.
Jane Thomas:
The poor should be trained to organize, set priorities and develop skills and resources to put their own community plans into action. What your article proposes is the conventional top-down way for doing things: outsiders determine the priorities and solutions, then throw money at them.To actually help, we must first develop our own skills and understanding. We need to find out what the poor want and what the root causes of the problems are. We have to listen to poor people.
Sanjay Kathe:
Concerned and sensible people"s endeavors to reduce poverty in underdeveloped countries are. deserving of high praise. It is sad, however, that only a small part of the funds raised for the poor actually reach them. The generous people who donate money to reduce poverty would be more successful if they spent time in the poor nations to check first-hand the use of their funds.
Now match the name of each person, (6/ t0 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] What we should do is to help the poor help themselves.
[B]I have always been deeply grieved by the tragic disasters.
[C] The root of poverty lies in the unfair distribution of resources.
[D]The situation in Africa has been overlooked by the world.
[E] The use of donated funds should be put under strict control.
[F] People living in prosperity should cherish what they have.
[G]It"s our duty to end global poverty.
61. Ankita Agarwal请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考答案
正确答案:F
PartB参考译文说明:下文来自于五个人有关全球贫困议题的评论。为61-65题中的人物名字(61-65)挑选出与他们相应的观点(A-G)。将答案填到答题纸l。AnkitaAgarwal:您的文章让我感到很惭愧。一直以来,我总认为自己不是那种典型的自以为是的少年,但我还是错了。当我坐在既宽敞又温暖舒适的家里,期待着那些我在青春杂志里的鞋子和衣服时,世界上还有人在盼望着诸如干净的水源这样极其简单的东西。谢谢你让我明白应该为拥有的事物感到幸福。JanetTejada:人口,消费和资源之间有什么样的关系呢?总之,简单点来定义贫困,就是拥有资源的不足。全球人口的持续增长,如美国之类的发达国家严重的过度资源消费,和不断成长的发展中国家的中产阶级攀升的消费水平,这些让地球的资源不断减少并且难以供应。TadashipKawabe:极端贫困实在是个悲剧。突发的自然灾害,比如地震,会在短时期内引来大量的人力和资金。然而在非洲过程更慢且仍然面临巨大的贫困和死亡浪潮,却不能受到那样的关注。当我们在帮助那些灾难和贫困中的人时,我们更应该帮助那些生还者过得更好一些,而非过多关注那些死去的人们。JaneThomas那些贫困的人们应该优先受到培训,开发技能和资源,来实施所在社区的计划。你文中所主张的是传统的自上而下的方式:外来人决定优先权和方案,然后给予他们资金。为了更切实际的帮助他们。我们必须发展我们的技能和理解。我们需要清楚那些贫困的人们的需要,以及这些困难的根源所在。我们需要聆听那些穷人们怎么说。SanjayKathe在发达国家,为减轻贫穷而做出巨大贡献的人们,他们心怀忧虑和担心,这些是值得赞赏的。然而可悲的是,到穷人手里的只是很少一部分基金。如果那些慷慨解囊的人们花点时间直接到那些贫穷国家去督查一下的话,那些用于减贫的基金将会得到更有效地利用。61.F【精析】主旨题。AnkitaAgarwal认为自己坐在宽敞温暖舒适的房子里,渴望着更多的鞋子与衣服,而有的人却连最基本的饮用水都没有,相比之下,忽然觉得自己很幸福,与F项的“繁荣中的人们应当珍惜当下的生活”表示相同的意思。故选F。
