Admittedly, when competition gets out of the control of mores and laws, society will suffer.競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)于社會(huì)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)-   3. "It is more important to allocate money for immediate, exis

3、ting social problems than to spend it on long-term research that might help future generations."與其花錢進(jìn)行可能有助于后代的長(zhǎng)期性研究，還不如把錢花在迫在眉睫，已經(jīng)存在的社會(huì)問(wèn)題上。   Humanity should take into account both long-term interests and short-term interests when making budgets.1. Naturally, each generation is most concer

4、ned about solving problems that immediately confront them.2. However, what differentiates human beings from other animals is that humans have a sense of future and are morally responsible for the well-being of their descendents.3. Therefore, as beneficiaries of previous generations, each generation

5、should make its own contribution for the well-being of future generations.當(dāng)務(wù)之急和百年大計(jì)的關(guān)系-9. "Academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years that scholars' ideas reach only a narrow audience. Until scholars can reach a wider audience, their ideas will have little use." &#

It is true that academic disciplines have become so specialized nowadays that some scholars seemingly idiosyncratic ideas only reach a narrow aud

7、ience.2. It is also true that social scientists failing to reach the large public makes it impossible for their ideas to contribute to society.3. Nevertheless, scholars in certain realms are doomed to live in an isolated and purely academic world, which does not necessarily mean that their ideas wil

8、l have little use.過(guò)分專業(yè)化問(wèn)題 overspecialization -15. "The stability of a society depends on how it responds to the extremes of human behavior."   一個(gè)社會(huì)的穩(wěn)定取決于該社會(huì)對(duì)人們極端行為所作出的反應(yīng)。 It is true that how a society copes with the extremes of human behavior largely determines the societys stability.

9、1. The extremes of human behavior-such as violence or strikes-usually dictate grave social troubles.2. One solution to these social problems is suppressing, which proves effective in the short run and counterproductive in the long run.3. The most effective way of responding to such problems is const

10、ructive communication and sometimes compromise. 抽象型題目 -   16. "Although many people think that the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life are entirely harmless, in fact, they actually prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals."   盡管許多人認(rèn)為

11、現(xiàn)代生活的奢華和便利是絲毫沒(méi)有壞處的，但是這實(shí)際上讓人們無(wú)法成為真正強(qiáng)大和獨(dú)立的個(gè)體。 Agree1. Consider first the effect of the automobile on our independence as individuals. In some respects the automobile serves to enhance such independence.2. However, we have become slaves to the automobile.3. Consider next the overall impact of the autom

12、obile on our strength as individuals, by which I mean strength of character, or mettle.4. In contrast, there is a certain strength of character that comes with eschewing modern conveniences such as cars, and with the knowledge that one is contributing to a cleaner and quieter environment, a safer ne

13、ighborhood, and arguably a more genteel society.  社會(huì)和個(gè)人之發(fā)展問(wèn)題 -   17. "There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws."   有兩種法律：公正的和不公正的。每個(gè)社會(huì)成員都有責(zé)

14、任遵守公正的法律，但是更重要的是，更應(yīng)該不遵守和反抗不公正的法律。  Disagree:1. First, whether a law is just or unjust is rarely a straightforward issue. The fairness of any law depends on ones personal value system.2. The fairness of a law also depends on ones personal interest, or stake, in the legal issue at hand.3. Disobey

15、ing unjust laws often has the opposite effect of what was intended or hoped for.4. By justifying a violation of one sort of law we find ourselves on a slippery slope toward sanctioning all types of illegal behavior, including egregious criminal conduct. 社會(huì)和個(gè)人之法律公正么？ -     19. "If a so

16、ciety is to thrive, it must put its own overall success before the well-being of its individual citizens."   如果一個(gè)社會(huì)要繁榮就必須將社會(huì)整體的成敗置于單個(gè)社會(huì)成員的幸福之上。 Disagree1. The society is made up of individual citizens; therefore, the development of individual citizens is crucial for the development of

17、 the whole society.2. A society that ignores the well being of individual citizens is bound to end up in social turmoil or revolution.少數(shù)和多數(shù)之成功 -20. "National governments should devote more of their social programs and services to children than to adults."   任何一個(gè)國(guó)家的政府都應(yīng)該為孩子而不是為成人建設(shè)更多的社

18、會(huì)項(xiàng)目和服務(wù)。   1. No one would deny the fact that it is in the young generation that lies the future of our society.2. Therefore, we should attach enough importance to the development of children.3. However, this does not mean that we can ignore the interests of adults, who make up the major work fo

19、rce of our society.孩子和成人之社會(huì)建設(shè) -22. "Many people believe that a few individuals or small groups (family, friends, teachers, celebrities, for example) have caused them to think and behave in the way they do. Yet it is always society as a whole that defines us and our attitudes, not a few individu

20、als."   很多人認(rèn)為只是一些個(gè)人或者小團(tuán)體（比如家庭、朋友、老師、名人）促成了他們的思維和行動(dòng)。其實(shí)一直以來(lái)不是一些個(gè)人而是社會(huì)作為一個(gè)整體在定義我們和我們的態(tài)度。   1. Individuals and small groups also change our attitudes and minds to a large extent.2. Everyone influencing us is also influenced the society.3. Internet is playing an ever more significant role

21、in influencing peoples attitude and values.少數(shù)和多數(shù)之定義人生 -   23. "Contemporary technology makes available many small pieces of factual information. As a result, people have become so preoccupied with bits of fragmented information that they pay too little attention to the larger issues and ov

22、erall perspectives."   現(xiàn)代技術(shù)使獲得大量細(xì)節(jié)信息成為可能。其結(jié)果是人們?nèi)褙炞⒂谄吡惆怂榈男畔⒍苌偃プ⒁飧蟮膯?wèn)題和全局。  1. Access to great deal of information help people get a wider view of an issue, thus help them prevent being limited in thoughts.2. Technology helps us pay more attention to the larger issues and overall pers

23、pectives.3. To prevent preoccupation by fragmented information, people should hold right view on information, not to assimilate all, but to percolate relevant ones from those needing only a glance.少數(shù)和多數(shù)之細(xì)節(jié)信息 - 29. "Public figures such as actors, politicians, and athletes should expect people to

24、 be interested in their private lives. When they seek a public role, they should expect that they will lose at least some of their privacy."   像演員、政治家和運(yùn)動(dòng)員這樣的公眾人物應(yīng)該預(yù)料到大眾會(huì)對(duì)他們的私生活感興趣。當(dāng)他們希望受人矚目的時(shí)候就應(yīng)該至少預(yù)期到會(huì)失去一些隱私（被大眾得知一些隱私）。 Agree:1. Intense media attention to the lives of public figures raises

25、 a presumption in the collective mind of the viewing or reading public that our public figures lives are far more interesting than our own.2. The media consist of large corporations whose chief objective is to maximize shareholder profit. In pursuit of that objective, the media are simply giving the

26、 public what they demanda voyeuristic look into the private lives of public figures.3. Nevertheless, the statement should be qualified in that a political figure has reason to expect privacy than other public figures.少數(shù)和多數(shù)之公眾人物的隱私 -33. "Creating an appealing image has become more important in c

27、ontemporary society than is the reality or truth behind that image."   在當(dāng)代社會(huì)，打造一個(gè)引人入勝的外表已經(jīng)變得比外表下的內(nèi)容更加重要了。   I agree that image has become a more central concern, at least where short-term business or political success is at stake. Nevertheless, I think that in the longer term image ul

28、timately yields to substance and fact.1. The important role of image is particularly evident in the business world.2. The growing significance of image is also evident in the political realm, particularly when it comes to presidential politics.3. In the long terms, however, the significance of image

29、 wanes considerably.外表和內(nèi)容 -36. "The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."   一個(gè)人是否偉大是由后人評(píng)定的而非他同時(shí)代的人。   1. We do not require a rear-view mirror to recognize artistic greatness whether in music, visual arts, or liter

30、ature. The reason for this is simple: art can be judged at face value.2. In contrast, in the sciences it is difficult to identify greatness without the benefit of historical perspective.3. In the realm of business, in some cases great achievement is recognizable immediately, while in other cases it

31、is not.時(shí)間先后 -40. "Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."   我們不應(yīng)該僅僅關(guān)注學(xué)者和研究者的著作能否對(duì)社

32、會(huì)做出貢獻(xiàn)。更重要的是關(guān)注他們?nèi)绾巫非髮?shí)現(xiàn)自己的興趣，無(wú)論那些興趣顯得是多么的非同尋常。   Agree:1. Who is to decide which areas of academic inquiry are worthwhile? Scholars cannot be left to decide; nor can regulators and legislators.2. Secondly, by human nature we are motivated to pursue those activities in which we excel.3. Thirdly, i

"Such non-mainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addre

34、ssed by mainstream science."   研究界的一些非主流領(lǐng)域，比如星象學(xué)、占卜術(shù)和意念及超自然探索，在社會(huì)中起到了很重要的作用，因?yàn)樗鼈儩M足了人們無(wú)法從主流科學(xué)獲得的需求。   1. Admittedly, these non-mainstream areas of inquiry address certain human needs, which mainstream science and other areas of intellectual inquiry inherently cannot.2. However, because

35、 these pursuits are not rooted in reason, they are favorite pastimes of charlatans and others who seek to prey on dupes.3. Furthermore, without any sure way to evaluate the legitimacy of these avenues of inquiry, participants become vulnerable to self-deception, false hopes, fantastic ideas and even

36、 delusions.少數(shù)和多數(shù)之非主流學(xué)科 -46. "While some leaders in government, sports, industry, and other areas attribute their success to a well-developed sense of competition, a society can better prepare its young people for leadership by instilling in them a sense of cooperation."   政府、體育界、工業(yè)界和其

37、他領(lǐng)域中的一些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者將他們的成功歸因于一種高度的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)意識(shí)，然而一個(gè)社會(huì)還是應(yīng)該更好的為那些即將成為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的年輕人灌輸一種合作的意識(shí)。   Agree1. The chief reason why we should stress cooperation in nurturing young people today is that, as tomorrows leaders, they will face pressing societal problems that simply cannot be solved apart from cooperative internation

38、al efforts.2. The second compelling reason for instilling in young people a sense of cooperation over competition is that effective leadership depends less on the latter than the former.3. A third reason why instilling a sense of cooperation is to be preferred over instilling a sense of competition

39、is that the latter serves to narrow a leaders focus on thwarting the efforts of competitors. -   47. "Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect-that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."   社會(huì)對(duì)于理性還是重視不夠，比如推理和認(rèn)知的能力。 While the speaker might overlook the benefit

40、s of nurturing certain emotions and feelings, on balance I agree that it is by way of our heads rather than our hearts that we can best ensure the well-being of our society.1. I concede that undue emphasis on cultivating the intellect at the expense of healthy emotions can harm and individual psycho

41、logically.2. In many other respects, however, emphasizing emotions and de-emphasizing intellect can carry negative, even dangerous, consequences for any society.3.

42、e today causes more problems than it solves."   現(xiàn)代生活越來(lái)越快的節(jié)奏弊多利少。   Agree1. The rapid pace of life has resulted in health problems in unprecedented large numbers.2. Although people today have more leisure time, they are not in a better position than their ancestors to enjoy themselves.

43、3. More unfortunately, people seem to have become addicted to the rapid pace of modern life.利多弊少題型 -61. "High-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize are actually damaging to society because they suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition."   最高榮譽(yù)比如諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)實(shí)際上是在損害社會(huì)，因?yàn)檫@種獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)在暗示只

44、有少數(shù)人才配得上這樣的榮譽(yù)。   The fact that only a few people deserve high-profile awards is insufficient evidence to suggest that such awards are damaging to society.1. Undoubtedly, high-profile awards suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition.2. What is significant is that high-profile award

45、s point out the right directions in which all individuals in particular fields should make efforts.3. To make sure that high-profile awards serve the right purpose of society, it is imperative that the rules of the awards be fair and strictly adhered to.少數(shù)和多數(shù)，精英和大眾 -65. "People have been so enc

46、ouraged by society to focus on apparent differences that they fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups."   人們被社會(huì)鼓勵(lì)而將注意力集中于顯而易見的差異上，以至于人們已經(jīng)無(wú)法看到各種理念、個(gè)人和群體之間的有意義的相似。 People in different cultural environments would respond differently to this statement.1. On the

47、 one hand, western cultures tend to focus on differences among ideas, individuals and groups.2. The danger of traditional societies, on the other hand, is to ignore differences forcing individuals and groups to conform to one authority.3. A healthy attitude is to be sensitive to both differences and

48、 similarities.統(tǒng)一和差異 -  70. "In any profession-business, politics, education, government-those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership."   在任何領(lǐng)域中-商業(yè)、政治、教育、政府-掌權(quán)者應(yīng)該在五年后就讓位。這是任何機(jī)構(gòu)獲得成功的最好的方式：通過(guò)

49、更新領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者而保持活力。   Limiting the term of leadership is an effective way to prevent corruption and lack of initiatives.1. When leaders have no fear of losing their power, they tend to abuse their power.2. A new leadership usually has greater initiative and would bring in new ideas.3. However, in certa

50、in realms such as business it might not be so necessary to limit the term of leadership.4. Furthermore, new leaders often lack the necessary skill and experience to cope with existing problems; therefore, they need a period of time for adaptation.新手和老手 -72. "One can best understand the most imp

51、ortant characteristics of a society by studying its major cities."   人們可以通過(guò)研究一個(gè)社會(huì)的主要城市來(lái)了解它最重要的特點(diǎn)。   It is no longer true the major cities are characteristic of a society.1. Major cities used to be the cultural centers of a society.2. Nowadays, however, due to the influence of globaliz

52、ation, major cities throughout the world look more or less the same.3. By contrast, the rural areas of a society maintain more of its cultural tradition.少數(shù)和多數(shù)之以小見大-76. "Truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists are always out of step with their time and their society."   真正深

53、刻的思想家和充滿創(chuàng)造力的藝術(shù)家總是超前于他們所在的時(shí)代和社會(huì)的。   To be more exact, great thinkers and artists are generally out of step with their time and society.1. Many great artists remained obscure all their lives.2. There are countless examples of original thinkers who were either ignored or misunderstood by their tim

55、rstand that satisfaction comes from working for the greater good of the family, the community, or society as a whole."   現(xiàn)在的人們太個(gè)人主義了。與其追求以個(gè)人為中心和孤立的目標(biāo)，人們更需要明白滿足是源于為家庭、社區(qū)或者整個(gè)社會(huì)的更大利益的服務(wù)。   Extreme individualism has become a serious threat to the social fabric and the welfare of all membe

56、rs of society.1. Some people may claim that the greater good of the family, the community or society lies in the good of the individual, which justifies the pursuit of self-interests.2. The problem daunting contemporary society is that egoism as run wild.3. Today there is every need for the society

57、to encourage individuals to work for the interests of others.少數(shù)和多數(shù) -89. "Leaders are created primarily by the demands that are placed upon them."   領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者主要是由身負(fù)的責(zé)任所造就的。   Generally speaking, leaders are the results of a combination of internal qualities and external conditions.1. The demands place upon a person could challenge him or her to become a leader.2. However, the statement seems to suggest that anybody can become a leader if demands are placed on h
