1、 Passage 1: We often ask why we are on the Planet Earth and if we are alone in the universe. These fundamental questions are often addressed by religion. But I think science can contribute t the best answers to these questions. In general, scientists are responsible to infrm the public and to answer
2、 the questions that the public wants to know about nature. Scientists are searching for the chemicals that exist in the universe outside f earth that culd lead to life there. We may ask ourselves if we are ready, psychologically, to accept the possibility of life elsewhere. We must recognize that wh
3、at we are doing is simply part of the trend that began with Copernicus and Galileo, who first showed us that Earth is not the centre f the universe. That fact that our galazy is one of the billions-with countless pssiblities for life-indicated that were part of something truly grand. Passage 2 You a

AIDS indiscriminately strikes children, women and men; AIDS distablizes communities around the world. The situation is very grim and we must act now. We cannot remain in

8、ing comprehensive news ser-vices, such as Peoples Daily Online, Xinhuanet, CCTV .com and CNR.cn have been set up. Internet has not only extended the reach of authoritative news, but also explored new space for the traditional media s own development. A number of well-known commercial websites have a
9、lso become major channels for people to obtain news. According to statistics, over 80% of Chinas netizens mainly rely on the Internet for news. The development of the Internet media has not only enhanced the time-effectiveness and validity of news communication, but also played a unique role in the
10、reporting of important news events, fully satisfying peoples need for information. Passage 2 Chinas development injects fresh vigor to regional cooperation in Asia. China has been extensively involved in the various mechanisms of Asia-based regional cooperation, emphasizingits cooperation and coordi
11、nation with all the parties and promoting regional economic integration.

In that world, I believe, all people may stand together with equal dignity and each nation large or small, has a right to determine its own course of developme
16、nt, free of outside interference or domination. Passage 2 The widening gap between the rich and the poor is everyones problem and everyones responsibility. The econmies of all countries are now so closely inter-linked that nne of us can hope to find some isolated solution. On the contrary, continued
17、 economic growth in developing countries has an important part to play in supporting the healthy development f the world economy. But we must see that the sustained growth in developing countries will be limited until the economies of the industrialized countries move out of recession. Recession in
18、the west means receding hopes for the economies of developing countries. This is the reality and this is one of the reasons why we need to spare no efforts t restore confidence and growth around the world.

24、tion to the advancement of human civilization. China-Africa exchanges and cooperation have grown in all fields and yielded fruitful results.
