【正文】 地。 C. 可能他們源于中歐。見第1題第二注釋。 D. 他們是一個部落。這只是文章涉及到的部分內(nèi)容，中歐國家想加入歐盟一事可能產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果。全文都是環(huán)繞它是不是，該不該承認(rèn)為民族/國家而寫，所以B項他們是不是民族是最佳標(biāo)題。最后一段指出，現(xiàn)在說他們有人有錢可以組成（國家）為時還早，可是吉普塞是歐盟中日程表上的一個問題，他們?nèi)找娼咏鉀Q。還有行動籌建建立一所吉普塞大學(xué)。19世紀(jì)他們橫遭奴役，希特勒企圖把它們和猶太人一起消滅。后面主要是外界對吉普塞的態(tài)度。一群選出吉普塞的政治家——國會議員，市長，地方政務(wù)委員再次在布拉格開會，會議由歐洲安全合作條約組織召集，來討論如何動員更多的吉普塞人參政。國際吉普塞人聯(lián)盟聲稱代表30多個國家的吉普塞人，做了幾件事：展開自我聯(lián)合，提出語言標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和書面形式，在聯(lián)合國進(jìn)行游說活動時揮動吉普塞國旗，在布魯塞爾設(shè)立辦事處，六月在捷克首都布拉格召開會議。最可能的是七世紀(jì)時一些流浪的手工業(yè)工人和藝人從印度向西方流移。他們的語言屬印歐語系。他們至少要在歐盟中有一席之地。答案祥解1. B. 他們是一個民族/國家嗎？整篇文章環(huán)境這一點而寫，文章一開始就提出中歐入歐盟的國家會給大陸吉普塞人一個機(jī)會，承認(rèn)他們是一個民族——國家，雖然沒有界定的領(lǐng)土（作為國家，應(yīng)有領(lǐng)土）。它們成立了國際聯(lián)盟，也選出了領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，在布魯塞爾開設(shè)了辦事處，想成立國會，但不知如何落實操作，只是極力游說歐盟和聯(lián)合國等組織，以獲得一個合法地位和發(fā)言權(quán)。但人口分散在各國，他是對抗的部落，還沒有共同的語言和信仰。寫作手法與文章大意 文章以對比手法環(huán)繞吉普塞是不是一個民族/國家，可不可以取得合法地位這一中心而寫。這里潘多拉盒子喻里面已有的各種麻煩的民族，吉普塞加入，更多了一份麻煩。宙斯命潘多拉帶著一個盒子下凡。11. electoral block 選舉集團(tuán)12.

European Union 歐盟。 oddly, none came from Hungary, whose Gypsies are perhaps the world’s best organized, with some 450 Gypsy bodies advising local councils there. The union did, however, announce its ambition to set up a parliament, but how it would actually be elected was left undecided.So far, the European Commission is wary of encouraging Gypsies to present themselves as a nation. The might, it is feared, open a Pandora’s box already containing Basques, Corsicans and other awkward peoples. Besides, acknowledging Gypsies as a nation might backfire, just when several countries, particularly Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, are beginning to treat them better, in order to qualify for EU membership. “The EU’s whole premise is to overe differences, not to highlight them,” says a nervous Eurocrat.But the idea that the Gypsies should win some kind of special recognition as Europe’s largest continent wide minority, and one with a terrible history of persecution, is catching on . Gypsies have suffered many pogroms over the centuries. In Romania, the country that still has the largest number of them (more than 1m), in the 19th century they were actually enslaved. Hitler tried to wipe them out, along with the Jews.“Gypsies deserve some space within European structures,” says Jan Marinus Wiersma, a Dutchman in the European Parliament who suggests that one of the current missioners should be responsible for Gypsy affairs. Some prominent Gypsies say they should be more directly represented, perhaps with a quota in the European Parliament. That, they argue, might give them a boost. There are moves afoot to help them to get money for, among other things, a Gypsy university.One big snag is that Europe’s Gypsies are, in fact, extremely heterogeneous. They belong to many different, and often antagonistic, clans and tribes, with no mon language or religion, Their selfproclaimed leaders have often proved quarrelsome and corrupt. Still, says, Dimitrina Petrova, head of the European Roma Rights Center in Budapest, Gypsies’ shared experience of suffering entitles them to talk of one nation。 it waves a Gypsy flag (green with a wheel) when it lobbies in such places as the United Bations。Passage Two (Europe’s Gypsies, Are They a Nation?)The striving of countries in Central Europe to enter the European Union may offer an unprecedented chance to the continent’s Gypsies (or Roman) to be recognized as a nation, albeit one without a defined territory. And if they were to achieve that they might even seek some kind of formal place—at least a total population outnumbers that of many of the Union’s present and future countries. Some experts put the figure at 4mplus。 C. 克林頓有簽署批準(zhǔn)中國入世之權(quán)。這一點恐怕不會，見上文注釋。商人是絕對不會放棄中國市場的。最后一段又是商界使共和黨聯(lián)盟和白宮懂得此事的重要性。朱總理拒絕的就是商界要求。各種和商界直接關(guān)系的高級官員對克林頓勸說。第二段中提到商界院外活動成員要以實實在在的協(xié)議來說服共和黨國會，免得以黨爭告終。4. D. 商界。 C. 不贊成。心情是矛盾的。這一歷史事件太重要絕不能因黨爭而失去機(jī)會。最后一段共和黨一下子又所他們最終將會接受中國加入世貿(mào)組織以表示對整體美國的好感。第六段說得更露骨，時間不對。共和黨一開始就反對。 D. 他們陷入困境。B. 這三個地方批評過頭。2. A. 朱總理拒絕了他們的要求。 D. 商人院外活動集團(tuán)成員控制國會。 B. 論中國加入世貿(mào)組織。A. 民主黨和共和黨的矛盾。第六段又是共和黨的反對聲，使民主黨內(nèi)站在北京以便的批評家也無能為力。再說對國會的干預(yù)的誘惑力相當(dāng)大：就在朱踏上美國本土?xí)r，參議院多數(shù)派領(lǐng)袖Trent Lott宣布他對中國是該不該入世持懷疑態(tài)度，而參議院Tesse A Helms… 承諾提出一項要求國會批準(zhǔn)任何交易的提案?！保ㄒ猓好绹蕴澚爽F(xiàn)在不要再吃虧了。以免整個過程以黨爭而告終。第二段點出克林頓故意拖延以謀取更多的利益的決定是正確的——文章的主旨句。第一段指出Clinton由打發(fā)朱總理回國，不同意中國入世到一百八十度大轉(zhuǎn)彎，在電話中憤怒的朱總理表示再次努力協(xié)商。這篇文章摘自Business Weekly. 文章是從商人的角度來看待中國加入WTO，他們希望從談判中獲得更多的利益，而克林頓的同意不同意的目的和他們相符——爭取更多利益。寫作方法與文章大意 文章以先聲奪人的寫作手法：克林頓不同意中國加入世貿(mào)打發(fā)朱總理回國引出兩黨（共和黨和民主黨）矛盾，國會和白宮之相反意見（對比寫法）到最終四方趨向一致來證明總統(tǒng)決定是對的——以最好的價碼使美國獲得最佳利益為前提同意中國加入世貿(mào)來滿足美國商人的要求。10.

And without the Administration’s goal of a “bulletproof agreement” that business lobbyists can enthusiastically sell to a Republican Congress, the whole process will end up in partisan acrimony that could harm relations with China for years.[參考譯文] 沒有商界院外活動集團(tuán)成員熱情的勸說共和黨國會采納政府目標(biāo)中的防彈性（保護(hù)性）協(xié)議，那么整個過程將會以黨派之間的尖刻的爭吵而結(jié)束，這會影響以后多年和中國的關(guān)系。4. the gesture was widely portrayed as a flipflop[參考譯文] 普遍認(rèn)為總統(tǒng)的姿態(tài)來了一個一百八十度的轉(zhuǎn)彎。[參考譯文] 總統(tǒng)遭到許多報界輿論的抨擊，它們曾報道過這樁買賣（入世貿(mào)）已是囊中之物。[參考譯文] 克林頓于4月8日決定不達(dá)成中國加入世貿(mào)組織的協(xié)議便打發(fā)中國總理朱容基走人。 and the sale of missile parts to America’s enemies. Beijing’s fierce critics within the Democratic Party, such as Senator Paul D. Wellstone of Minnesota and House Minority leader Richard A.
