Britain and Spain have the highest proportion of cocaine users in the EU, according to a pan-European drugs survey published today. The European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction 2004 report found 2% of all adults in the UK and Spain reported recent cocaine use, close to figures for the US, compared to less than 1% across the EU as a whole. RY-iFydPc
It reported that cocaine use was increasing in Denmark and Germany and that more Europeans were seeking treatment for cocaine-related problems. In most countries, treatment is demanded for the use of cocaine powder rather than smoked crack cocaine—but in the Netherlands around two-thirds of cocaine treatment demands were crack related. |XyX%5p*
Crack use was increasing in a number of cities in Germany, Spain, France and the UK, the survey found. ~1G^IZ6
Heroin use is relatively stable in many EU countries, with new users failing, but limited data from the new member states in central and Eastern Europe may localized increases. T4eJ:u* ;
Deep concern surrounds the continuing HIV epidemic in some of the new EU member stats and their bordering countries, where heroin injecting is more common than it is the western states. Estonia, Latvia, Russia and Ukraine are the countries with the fastest growing HIV epidemic in the world, though there are signs it is stabilizing in the Baltic states. }Fe~XO`
The director of the EU drugs agency, Georges Estievenart, identified positive signs in the downwards trend of drug-related deaths and better access to treatment and care but warned of future problems. "j>X
^vn
“There is a risk that some of these positive trends may be short-lived and real concerns surround potential drug epidemics, particularly in some of the new members of our Union.” ~ D52b1f
“And we should not forget that drug use in general remains at historically high levels—many countries are reporting rising cocaine use and more people are using cannabis and ecstasy in parts of Europe.” b
?~p/ [
The Home Office minister, Caroline Flint, said the report was based ion old data and the British Crime Survey showed that crack and cocaine use bad stabilized. @6

“We are not complacent about the drugs situation in Britain,” she said, “Drug use is still too high and we are planning new legislation aimed at getting more users into treatment—including testing on arrest—and strengthening police powers to tackle drug dealers.” +R'8$

Thailand confirmed three new human bird flu cases Thursday as healthy officials warned it could take two years to conquer Asia’s outbreak. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization said the latest tests show no sign of a killer hybrid virus that could easily pass between people. '
m<Lx _i
Tests on a cluster of bird flu cases in a Vietnamese family showed there was no mixing of genes between the bird flu strain and human flu, according to WHO. XYU5.
In the United States, a strain of bird flu was found at four live chicken markets in northern New Jersey, just days after outbreaks at two farms in Delaware led to the destruction of thousands of birds. ,_V V;P
WHO has said the best way to control the spread of the disease is by culling the birds. In Asia, tens of millions of chickens have been killed by infecting or slaughtered in containment efforts as bird flu spread, jumping to people in Vietnam and Thailand. y ##h
(y
The human death toll stood at 19 on Thursday. CW1l;uwtU
While two of the three people labeled as new cases in Thailand have recovered, the third, a 13-yearo-old boys, was in intensive care in northeastern Chaiyaphum province, Thai officials said. LO U P
Fears of an outbreak prompted Singapore, believed free of bird flu, to announce plans to euthanize 5,000 healthy chickens in a drill to prepare for any possible infection. w:\}
B'u
Ten governments in the region have dealt with the disease over the past couple of months, with China boosting its culling efforts as reports of infections there increased. y
4i3m(S
Beijing said Thursday it was mobilizing 16,000 workers for anti-bird flu efforts in a province bordering Vietnam where China’s first bird flu case of the season was confirmed in late January. Among their tasks is to try to pinpoint the source of the first infection. LL<xygd
Destroying infected fowl is the best way to contain the outbreak, according to WHO. x?AG*'
h&
Thai officials have said slaughters of more than 26 million chickens have brought the disease largely under control there, while Vietnam has said its outbreak is easing. In Pakistan, U. N. officials said the disease has been contained. But the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization said it would take much longer to bring the region outbreak under control. hBU)gP75
“I would have though that we’d be looking at a period of six months… but it could be as long as two years,” FAO animal health officer Peter Roeder said in Geneva. In New Jersey, state veterinarian Nancy Halpern said the markers likely got the virus from one of their many farms and distributors. New Jersey has about 35 live chicken markets. Y"FV#<9@7E
46. Which of the following is true according to WHO? ::Zo` vP
A. It could take two years to conquer Asia’s outbreak of bird flu. 7xnj\9$m
B. The bird flu is dangerous because it is very easy to spread between people. J[ }H^FR
C. The best way to control the spread of the bird flu is by killing the infected birds. M+ [ho]
D. The outbreak of bird flu is hard to control because the genes of the bird flu areain and human flu are mixing very quickly. JBY.e r`6C
47. Which one of the following countries has not been infected with human bird flu? UytMnJ 8 8

Despite ongoing negotiations with its unions, United Airlines has told the bankruptcy court that the “likely result” will be a decision to terminate all of its pension plans. 9nR\7!_
That would precipitate the biggest pension default in history, more than twice the size of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation default in 2002. The move is expected to destabilize the already struggling airline industry, prompting other old-line carriers like Delta to eventually follow suit to maintain competitiveness. (%
6fMVp
It would also put additional pressure on the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), the federal agency that insures traditional pensions in case companies go belly up. It’s already facing more than a ＄9 billion shortfall. A default by United would saddle it with an additional ＄8.4 billion in unfunded obligations. If other airlines follow, the PBGC may have to go to Congress and plead for a bailout that some experts say would be bigger than the Saving and Loan debacle of the 1980s. `nF SJlr&
More broadly, what all this means is that retirement for US workers just isn’t what it used to be. Forget the gold watch and reliable pension check after 30 years of service. The impact of globalization and competition from low-wage companies that don’t provide benefits has shifted the onus of retirement security from larger firms onto individuals. 1_+ h"LE
Twenty years ago, 40 percent of American workers were covered by traditional pensions known as defined-benefit plans. Today that number’s dropped to 20 percent. As the Bethlehem Steel and United examples show, even that 20 percent may not be able to count on what they’ve been promised. Currently, about 75 percent of those corporate plazas are underfunded. “There are numerous threats to retirement in the future,” says Brad Belt, executive director of the PBGC. “So it’s incumbent on individuals to be well informed, prudent about their investment and to save accordingly.” g~DuK|+
To get a sense of the impact of the pension crisis on individuals, look at what United employees can expect. Pilots, who by law must retire at 60, could see their retirement income cut by 75 percent. n3ii W \
Betty, who asked that her name not be used, has been flying for United for 26 years, She was expecting to retire with ＄140,000 a year. After the recent round of give-backs, that was cut to ＄90,000. But of United defaults as expected, she’d receive only ＄28,000 from the PBGC. If she waits until 65 to start collecting, she could be eligible for as much ＄44,500 a year. _[HZ[ 9c!
Either way, once pilots are forced to leave the cockpit at 60, most will probably look for another job rather than lounge on the golf course. Betty has already started a mediation business on the side. “All of the benefits that I’d been promised during those 26 years have been erased by corporate American greed,” she says. “And yet I can see the big picture. I’ve said for three years that our pensions are history. No matter how many promise they make us, if the money isn’t there, it isn’t there.” y C xYFi
For the pilot union, which negotiated the pension benefits over the years, often giving up wage increases for better retirement package, the current situation is infuriating. They see pensions as benefits that are earned, like employee paychecks, not a bonus to be given as long as a company can afford it. “It seems immoral that just because they happen to be in a legal situation, they can walk away from those obligations,” says Steve Derebey, spokesman for Air Line Pilots Association. “Why this isn’t a burning, blazing campaign issue is beyond me.” W %*#rcdq

In every major city in America, commuters are spending more and more time in their cars fighting traffic. The Texas Transportation Institute recently reported that the average commuter spends an extra 46 hours—more than a full workweek—each year caught in traffic. {
dF@Vg_n
A major source of the congestion is freight trucks. One large truck takes up the space of almost four cars, and the average truck is becoming longer, with more use of double-and triple-trailers. Increases in truck volume, obviously, add to commuting problems, and according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, freight volunme is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 20 years. /bykIU TKI
One proposed solution¬—building new roads—is expensive and politically contentious. But there’s another way: greater use of freight rail. %2:UsI
In an urban area like New York, shifting 25% of freight from trucks to freight trains by the year 2025 would reduce drivers’ commuting time by 52.9 hours. In addition, such a shift would save ＄734 per household in annual congestion costs. s" ,Ea*
Shifting freight from road to rail also helps the environment. Freight rail is more fuel-efficient per ton-mile than trucks. And it reduces drivers’ fuel consumption by decreasing the time the spend idling in traffic. By 2025, commuters in New York could save 254 gallons of fuel with a 25% shift of freight from truck to rail. 2.Z#\6Vj
Air pollution levels also would improve with an increase in the use of freight rail. For instance, that same 25% shift to rail by 2025 would decrease air pollutants New York by as much as 79,500 tons. @@ H/q
To carry out these changes, the freight tail industry will need more capacity, but that depends on investments. Because railroads are not meeting their cost of capital, government policymakers may want to consider investment incentives to help meet the growing demand for freight rail. This would enable freight railroads to provide convenient, on-time, quality service to shippers and boost their share of freight transport. Jh.~]\u

从第一段内容可知，英国和西班牙是欧盟中使用可卡因比例最高的国家，随后在第二段中又说，英国和西班牙使用可卡因恶人数比例接近于美国（Close f@a@R$y
to figure for the US），由此推断美国是使用可卡因比例最高的国家。 Q35/Sp[;x
42. B <\cH9D`dE
第三段中讲到，大部分国家的治疗主要是针对可卡因粉末，而不是“快克”得使用（In most countries, treatment is demanded for the use of cocaine powder rather than smoked crack cocaine.）。显然选项与条差中提到的美容不相符合，因此选B。 NCM&6< _
43. A D; 0xROW8{
根据第六段的“Deep concern surrounds the continuing HIV epidemic in some of the new EU member states and their bordering countries, where heroin injecting is more than it is the western states.”可知艾滋病在新加入欧盟的一次而国家及其周边越来越扩散，在这些国家海洛因注射比西欧国家更普遍。其他三项都不是文中提及的相关原因，所以A项为正确答案。 ;hLne0|)}
44. C j\ SW~}d9
根据第二段的“There is a risk that some of these positive trends may be short-lived.”可知这些积极的趋势有很快消失的危险，这与C项符合。其他三项都不是警告内容。 NK@G0p~O
45. A O$=)
本文主要讨论了欧盟吸毒的整体形势，并具体介绍了一些国家和地区的状况。A项为文章内容最合适的概括，而其他三项都是对文章用意的曲解。 S qQqG3F
46. C AQ 5C rYb
选项A的内容出现在第1段，但不是来自于世界卫生组织。选项B可以排除，因为第二段中世界卫生组织说没有迹象显示很容易在人群中传播的混合致命病毒已出现（no sign of a killer hybrid virus that could easily pass between people）。选项D也可以排除，因为在第三段中，世界卫生组织说有证据表明禽流感和人类感冒的基因还没混合（there wes no mixing of genes between the bird flu strain and human flu）。第11短所述实际卫生组织的说法以及文章涉及到的一些国家控制禽流感的做法明确证实了选项C是正确的。 9GZKT{*
47. A emV@kN.
从第8段可以看出新加坡为受到感染（believed free of bird flu），它之所以指定杀鸡计划是为了防止禽流感的爆发，而其他几个国家都是已经被感染了。因此选A。 SAEr $F^
48. D F W # S.<
第12段中，泰国、越南和巴基斯坦得官员都已经宣布控制了本国的禽流感爆发，而文中并没有相关美国官员的话明确正是美国是否已经控制禽流感了，所以选D。 GBZx@B[TY
49. B h,V#V1>Hu
对于文章开头提到得泰国新出现的3名病例，文章在第7段中说有两名已经恢复，而第3名仍在接受重症特别护理（in intensive care），并没有死亡，所以B是错误的，应当选B。 E5M*Gs
50. A Tdr^~dcQ
本文带有明显的新闻体风格，很可能摘自一篇新闻，而没有任何证据表明它来自于一本科学书籍、世界卫生组织的调查或者是联合国粮农组织的报告。所以A项为正确答案。 [N/[7Q/y

看最后一段，机师工会对目前的情况十分恼火。在历年的谈判中，工会往往放弃提新的要求以换取更好的退休福利待遇，可现在都成了泡影。在他们看来，退休金和工资都一样，都是他们应得的福利，并非公司额外的犒赏，没钱的时候就可以一笔勾销。公司也不能因为遇到一些法律纠纷就逃避这些他们应承担的义务，一走了之。这一问题应当在大选中成为焦点。当然，这只是机师工得看法，实际上，不选还顾不上这事，这也让很多机师工不平。 4565U

本句意思是：原本这些飞行员60岁退休后可以凭借着优厚的养老金在高尔夫球场悠游自在，可现在恐怕还得找些零活以充实退休之后的生活，否则就没钱过得很滋润。由此可见，他们的退休金被消减的幅度之大。 .Wq`q F(;

作者的建议还是提醒美国公众大的环境已改变，要认清形势（to see the big picture），认识到退休后的生活幸福与否应当有自己去把握，不要过的指望企业和政府，要认清掌握情况，明智进行投资，同时拥有充分的积蓄。结合本书中关于目前美国国内提倡的“所有权社会”的文章，可以看到美国目前的退休福利制度也在进行着较大幅度的改革。 .O'gD.|^N

铁路运输业投资规模很大，但投资回报率不高，无法实现投资成本，由此导致产能不足，既缺乏投资者介入，因而政府方面考虑采取一些投资激励措施以引导更多资金流入这一行业。因而“不是十分有利可图”是铁路货运业的基本症结所在。 (o\:r LZu

Part V Writing T"9`[Lzva
As far as my experience with the problem of the stress in life, the effective cure for it rests with the following major steps. a_QO)
One step is to set my priorities. Whenever I feel any undue stress is building up in my life, I tend to write down a list of things to accomplish, with the most pressing at the top; and meanwhile allow more time than I think I’ll need for each job, with enough breathing room to handle emergencies or rearrange priorities as circumstances change. Another step is to know when to say no. My experience has led me to recognize that if we are too busy doing too many chores or too obliging to others to say no to may of their requests, we may never get around to the important activities that give us genuine satisfaction. And the most important step is to learn to ask for help. In the past, I used to seek no aid because I regarded it as a lack of ability to reach out for help; but now I have come to realize that there are always some parts of our life over which we have little or no control and that, by both asking for and offering help, we can strengthen personal relationship and lighten each other’s load. R*Pfc91}
If you feel overwhelmed with the problem of stress, therefore, you might as well try the above and may be surprised to find the same holds true for you.
