第6题
No one really likes help. It is a great deal more satisfactory to be given the opportunity
to earn one's daily bread; and if, by so doing, one can create a continuing means of livelihood, more jobs, and better living conditions for one's community, which is more satisfactory still. It is on this premise that the World Food Programme bases most of its operations.

But how can a man born of unemployed, undernourished parents, in the depths of poverty that spreads the shanty towns near Latin American cities, or displaced people's camps in Africa and Asia, begin to make some improvement? Someone must help, someone who understands that both food and employment are fundamental to his need.

Most thinking people must have remarked at some time or other that it doesn't make sense for half the population of the world to be in need of better food while governments and farmers elsewhere are worried by surpluses. For a number of years, until recently, North America and Australia had too much wheat. Japan had too much rice. Similarly the EEC rapidly built a butter "mountain" in its short history.

It was an awareness of the cruel paradox of a worm with surpluses and starvation that prompted the setting up of the Worm Food Programme by the United Nations and also by the Food and Agricultural Organization. Its organizers realized that it could be useful both to developed and developing countries. It could remove surpluses in such a way that they did not upset normal trading or threaten the livelihood of farmers in contributor countries, and then use these food to feed people and aid development in poor-privileged areas.

So how does the World Food Programme(WFP) work and what has it achieved?

Logically, the story starts with a pledging session. The contributor countries, of which there have been a hundred and four over the years, pledge themselves to give a certain value during the succeeding two years. Most of these pledges me honoured by gifts of food, but countries which do not produce food surplus to their own needs pledge money to finance the administration and shipping of the food given by others.

Meanwhile, the WFP staff in Rome get requests from countries which would like to receive this food aid. Some of these are emergency requests when earthquake, hurricane, flood, drought or pestilence strikes, or political disorder cause a new wave of refugees. Of course, WFP responds to these, but they represent no more than a quarter of its aid in any one year. The real objective is to aid constructive development, and so to make full preparation against the every day disaster of having little food to eat, no work to go to, no dignity to have.

So the WFP staff are responsive to requests from governments who want initial help to develop new lauds for farming, to build roads, to provide irrigation, and so on. The government of the would-be recipient country has to pat forward what is considered to be a worthwhile and workable scheme, and if this is accepted, WFP agrees to supply food to a certain value for a specified period of years(usually three to five). Usually the food is for the people; sometimes it is for their farm livestock.

The main idea of the first two paragraphs is that many people ______.

A.feel offended by people who offer them gifts

B.are prevented from rising in the world by the poverty of their surroundings

C.need to be given both food and the chance to earn their living

D.feel their pride hurt if' they are given charity

Commercial Vices

The commercial vices are gambling, prostitution, and drugs. The appeals of the commercial vices are so strong and widespread that attempts to prohibit them in western democracies have always failed. Even in totalitarian regimes with unrestricted police and draconian punishments, such as Islamic countries, there is only partial success.

The evils of these vices are threefold: Those who practice them suffer, the criminals who sell them prosper, and the enforcement organizations are expensive, unsuccessful, and often corrupt bureaucracies.

Two commercial vices have been accepted as unstoppable but their evils have been minimized by legalization and regulation. These are the particular drug, alcohol, and gambling.

The United States attempted to prohibit alcohol and failed. The Mafia made its accumulated capital by bootlegging alcohol. The gangsters of the twenties and thirties were in the alcohol business just as the drug peddlers of today are in the drug business. Both settled trade disputes with gunfire. When alcohol prohibition was repealed and sale by licensed dealers was instituted, the Mafia went out of the liquor business and the revenue agents assigned to stop the illegal business went out of business too. The quality of regulated liquor became assured and taxes, not high enough to motivate bootlegging, became a source of public revenue. Consumption of legal alcohol became only slightly greater than the consumption of illegal alcohol had been.

If we follow the alcohol example with all other drugs, the same benefits will obtain. Much more than that, the temptation of "forbidden fruit" will disappear. The jailing of petty drug pushers will stop, together with their training as future serious criminals in the crime schools which are our jails. If we transfer the huge sums wasted on fruitless interdiction efforts and on punishment to serious education and rehabilitation programs, the drug problem will retreat to the trivial level it was fifty years ago.

Gambling is another example of "If you can't lick’em, join’em." At one time all but private gambling at home was illegal. So the Mafia ran the numbers rackets and the secret games and the bookmaking where "law abiding" citizens did their unstoppable gambling. Now governments run lotteries and license and supervise casinos so the gangsters are largely out, cheating is minimal, and governments earn revenue instead of paying police. Here, again, an education program would cost little and do much good.

Prostitution is an even more emotional problem. Addiction to sex is genetic and permanent and deprivation has many penalties. Here, again, legalization and regulation will immediately eliminate the pimps and gangsters and reduce the police force. With periodic medical examination and licensing of the practitioners, and perhaps of the customers, there will be a radical reduction in the spread of venereal diseases, including AIDS. For those already diseased there can be a matching of buyer and seller by coding their license cards.

A valid objection to legalization (or de-criminalization) of vices is that this very action will encourage their practice by seeming to be an official endorsement. This objection can be finessed by what was done with "Blue Laws" which tried to impose unacceptable "virtues" but which could not be repealed. They were not repealed but merely stopped being enforced.

The enforcement budgets can then be converted to treatment and education to discourage and diminish practice of the vices. Laws providing regulation and licensing can still be passed. Logically they are inconsistent with laws forbidding, but so what? They can be enforced anyway.

Legalization and regulation of commercial vices would bring all of the following benefits EXCEPT that ______.

A.the police force could be reduced

B.illegal dealers would be forced out of business

C.there would be, no more drug dealers

D.the practices might become a source of revenue

听力原文: The term "Artificial Languages" refers to those that have been artificially con
structed, each in the hope that it might eventually become a universal tongue. Although a number of such languages have been created, only one, Esperanto, has achieved a significant measure of international recognition.

The first attempt at an artificial language was Volapuk, which appeared at about 1880. Though difficult to learn and as a result short-lived, it did inspire others to attempt a better system. In 1887, L. L. Zamenhof, of Warsaw, Poland, introduced Esperanto, with its greatly simplified grammar and logically constructed vocabulary. Esperanto, meaning "one who hopes", soon developed a large following of dedicated speakers, and later a significant body of literature. Many of the world's literary masterpieces have been translated into Esperanto. Numerous attempts to improve or reform. it were in the end abandoned, and today it remains basically the same as designed by Zamenhof.

In the 20th century Occidental and Inter-lingual appeared, but these are designed primarily for scientific and technical use and stress reconcilability rather than active speech. The great advantage of artificial languages lies in their simplicity and the absence of irregular grammatical forms. However, they suffer from the lack of native speakers and national prestige, and in recent years interest in them has generally declined. The tremendous increase in the use and study of English since World War Ⅱ has led many to believe that English, rather than an artificial language, has the best chance of eventually becoming a universal tongue.

Why did the artificial languages appear?

A.To take the place of any other language.

B.To make it be a universal tongue eventually.

C.To show the man's wisdom.

D.To get significantly international recognition.
