Part 2 Reading
Comprehension(20 points)

Directions：There are 2 passages in this
part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For
each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on
the best choice and choose the ONE answer that is most appropriate.

Passage 1

The free flow of
information and communication is paramount to the progress of society. Today,
3G technologies (i.e. UMTS, CDMA2000) are viewed as essential elements for
advancing social economic development for countries worldwide.

Globally, 3G
technologies benefit entire countries by supporting the proliferation of
information, enabling citizens to access vital communication services and
promoting the development of technology advancements. It is estimated that
mobile broadband usage will grow exponentially over the next three years,
delivering the Internet and a plethora of other compelling services to more
than l.3 billion people globally by 2012.

The expansion of
3G networks, devices and services in countries around the world is enhancing
quality of life and providing expanded economic opportunities, both in the
public and private sectors. The expansion of economic opportunities results in
increased competition, the development of innovative new services for consumers
and greater productivity for enterprises by workers.

Furthermore, 3G
is improving the lives of underserved citizens, bridging the “digital divide” that
exists in certain regions of the world, particularly in developing countries
where teledensity and Internet penetration are low. Access to 3G mobile
connectivity helps to address these concerns by delivering essential and richer
communication services (i. e. financial, healthcare, education, etc.) that
benefit people at every tier of society.

In this Paper,
we explore how countries are using advanced mobile technology to enable the
aspirations of their citizens and facilitate new growth opportunities in the
business sector. Our goal is to provide readers with valuable insights into the
many benefits that 3G provides to countries around the world.

Today, 3G
networks play a vital role in expanding access to essential communication (voice)
and value added information (data. services. To stay competitive in the global
economy, countries are adopting 3G to improve their overall level of
teledensity (including broadband Interact penetration).

Increases in
teledensity, in turn lead to complementary benefits in the form of enhanced
gross domestic product (GDP) and job creation opportunities in the
telecommunications sector. Economic studies indicate that for every one percent
increase in a country’s broadband Interact penetration, GDP per capita
increases by roughly 10 percent (USD. , and a one percent increase in mobile
penetration results in a GDP per capita increase of roughly five percent (USD. .
Moreover, direct investments in communication technology development are
strongly correlated with increased job creation. Research data from Criterion
Economics indicates that for every additional$1 million (USD.  invested in
telecommunications in the U. S., l 8 new jobs are created.

Today’s 3G
networks allow mobile operators to affordably address the growing global demand
for low latency broadband services, a demand that is not being met by existing
fixed line networks. In addition, 3G, which has the advantage of being
backwards-compatible with legacy networks, provides increased network capacity
and other efficiency enhancements that enable operators to deliver more
competitive mobile broadband services, while ultimately reducing their
investments in both CapEx and OpEx.

3G network
infrastructure, applications and services are enabling the much anticipated
convergence of mobile communications, computing and consumer electronics. New
types of connected devices and services are redefining market sectors including
healthcare, education, and entertainment to name a few.  Multimode 3G
solutions enable access to multiple types of networks；stimulating the progression of
ever more advanced service solutions and creating ever-richer user experiences
for consumers.

Furthermore, the
growing proliferation of 3G devices and the ever expanding industry ecosphere is
creating economies of scale that lead to lower total cost of network ownership
for operators and makes mobile connectivity more affordable and practical. The
benefits of having affordable access to mobile broadband devices and services
extend to a country’s institutions, businesses and mass market segments. For
instance, expanded opportunities for growth and profitability in the business
sector made possible by 3G leads to a trickle-down effect that benefits a
country’s general population. In the next section, we will explore citizens
utilizing 3G devices and how they enjoy increasingly higher levels of service
convenience, safety and productivity.

An estimated
3.43 billion people globally depend on mobile services as an integral part of
their daily life. As countries increase the adoption of 3G technologies, the
public demand for richer mobile services continues to grow. In the stories that
follow, we briefly explore some popular, 3G-enabled service offerings and
examine how these services are enhancing quality of life for people around the
world.

3G mobile
communication services are redefining the way people communicate on a daily
basis. Mobile communications can be categorized as ubiquitous (anytime,
anywhere and anyplace); personal (MMS, video messaging, post cards, instant
messaging, etc.) or interactive (push-to-talk, video telephony, video sharing).

One example of
an interactive mobile communications service is KTF’s “WorldPhone View” videophone
service in South Korea. Another example is Vodacom’s ‘‘The Grid” service in
South Africa, which offers a social networking application enhanced via
GPS-enabled location awareness technology. Interactive services like these are
distinguished by the convenience, customization and relevance they provide to
the user community.

The ability to
provide healthcare services to people in isolated locations has traditionally
been a daunting task. However, 3G technologies have the potential to help
overcome these braziers and address many other healthcare needs as new wireless
health services and devices come to market. For instance, wireless health
services ranging from medication reminders to remote diagnostic and monitoring
services have the potential to both improve and extend life.

The wireless
health industry is only just beginning to gain critical mass but the advent of
innovative new 3G wireless-enabled devices and applications that are “always
with you” and “always on” holds the potential to transform modem healthcare,
eliminating barriers to care and driving costs out of the system.

One case in
point is in the province of Phang Nga, located in Thailand. The province
includes two remote islands (Koh Panyee and Koh Yoa Yai), which are roughly 45-minutes
away from the nearest hospital by boat. Thanks to a collaboration with
Thailand’s CAT Telecom and Ministry of Public Health, two remote healthcare
clinics on the islands are now wirelessly connected to the mainland hospital,
leveraging the power of 3G mobile broadband to share patient information and
facilitate timely remote medical consults.

Two other
industries being positively impacted by 3G are financial services and mobile
commerce. Mobile financial services made possible by 3G technologies provide a
new level of convenience, visibility and safety when it comes to managing
finances, no matter what the consumer’s socioeconomic status maybe.

In emerging
markets, access to 3G is making convenient and secure banking and payment
solutions available to people who previously were unable to obtain traditional
banking services. In the Philippines, it is estimated that roughly 68 million
citizens are classified as “unbanked.”

Globe Telecom
also reached out to Philippine companies to establish direct deposit services
to take place under the G. Cash platform. Today, G-Cash subscribers have the
ability to conduct personal finance transactions (deposit paychecks, withdraw
cash, check balances, etc.) at more than 6, 000 retail outlets nationwide.
Next, we will discuss how 3G deployments create expanded opportunities in the
business sector.

Recent
technology enhancements in 3G airlink-performance (i.e., higher data rates,
optimized quality of service (QoS), reduced latency, increased network capacity,
etc.) are enabling mobile operators to achieve faster time-to-market, with a
growing array of innovative new devices, applications and services. These new offerings
help stimulate the expansion of the country’s telecommunications ecosystem,
contributing to industry growth and competitiveness and paving the way for
further innovation.

In the
workplace, mobile broadband services are providing employees with real-time
access to remote desktop enterprise solutions, increasing company response
times for customers and leading to increased productivity for workers. For
example, employees working offsite with mobile laptops or handheld devices may
access company resource management solutions and dynamically collaborate with
intra-office systems that link warehouses, suppliers and customer databases.
Other new capabilities in the connected workplace range from creating sales
orders in real-time to automatic inventory re-stocking. Innovative 3G solutions
like these are helping enterprises improve their asset and resource management
capabilities, streamline their operations and ultimately, achieve significant
cost savings.

Some of the
latest mobile service offerings couple entertainment services with elements of
social networking functionality. One example of an industry collaboration
leading to the creation of an innovative new business model is the “Xploaded
Music” service offered by South African operator MTN. The service provides a
forum for unsigned and independent artists to distribute their music over MTN’s
3G network.

Moreover, the
service integrates social networking services (blogs, music rating services,
live event notices, etc.) into the Xploaded Music site, enhancing artist’s
exposure as well as the user experience for MTN subscribers. As part of the
business model, artists earn royalties from music sales in addition to having
access to MTN’s mentor program where artists may participate in music industry
business courses.

The Xploaded
Music site has allowed MTN to become South Africa’s largest digital distributor
of “local” music. One key indication of the success of the business model is
that several other similar services have been introduced to MTN’s regional
market, thereby creating increased competition and stimulating the
implementation of new service innovations.

3G technologies
have ushered in a new era of enhanced and expanded access to information and
communication that is unprecedented in the history of telecommunications.
Countries around the world are experiencing the growing benefits associated
with advanced 3G mobile broadband technologies. The deployment of 3G solutions,
devices and services enables countries to more rapidly increase teledensity and
expand broadband Internet penetration rates nationwide.

Countries
adopting 3G have experienced higher levels of GDP per capita and job creation
in the telecommunications sector. Moreover, 3G expands a country’s
opportunities in the business sector, contributing to increased competitiveness
and promoting innovative new wirelessly enabled businesses and services.
Finally, 3G provides the country’s citizens with richer, more compelling
communications services. Access to convenient, affordable and highly
customizable mobile broadband devices and services makes life more productive,
secure and meaningful and empowers people to transform the way they live,
learn, work and play.

Passage 2

Say you want to
reach an old friend who’s always on the move. Calling her at home using the
number listed in the phone book (what a quaint notion!) probably won’t work.
But how else can you find the various other ways to reach her—via mobile, or at
work, or perhaps e-mail, instant messaging, Skype, Facebook, or Twitter
addresses?

Enter Telnic,
which is aiming to become the Google of online address books in competition
with traditional yellow and white pages. The London-based startup has developed
technology that lets anyone store the full range of their contact details
online and then give chosen people access to it. “It is a bit like an
interactive business card on the Web that you can change and give to anyone so
they can reach you,” says Justin Hayward, Telnic’s communications director. The
service is slated to go live in December.

At first blush,
that might not sound like much of a breakthrough. But Telnic’s approach is
revolutionary because it’s exploiting a significant new capability in the Internet
that has been authorized by governing body ICANN(the Interact Corporation for
Assigned Names & Numbers), a private nonprofit group that oversees
technical aspects of the Internet’s address system. ICANN has sanctioned a new
top-level domain called .tel—similar to .com or .net—that is set aside purely
to integrate contact information directly into the heart of the Net.

Telnic, which
has so far raised about $35 million in financing, first applied to ICANN to
commercialize the .tel domain in 2000. Permission finally came six years later,
when ICANN awarded Telnic exclusive use of .tel. In the intervening time, the
startup has spent about $15 million on the years of engineering needed to
perfect the technology.

Along the way, Telnic
has also attracted prestigious backers including Paris-based venture capital
firm Banexi Ventures Partners; Juan Villalonga, a former chief executive of
Spanish telecom operator Telefónica; and the Berggruen Group, led by
billionaire Nicolas Berggruen, who made much of his fortune in private equity
and hedge funds. The technology developed by Telnic uses the Internet
addressing system in an entirely new way. Until now top-level domains such as .co
.uk or .edu have been mapped to Internet Protocol addresses for Web sites or
other servers. The. tel scheme is more like a virtual directory—not associated
with a specific site—containing all the contact information that individuals,
companies, or other organizations wish to publish.

Since .tel
information isn’t tied to the Web, individuals can post their contact
information without having to put up and maintain their own Web sites—or, for
that matter, sign up for social networking services such as LinkedIn. (Though
they may want to do so for other reasons, such as professional networking.) The
information can be retrieved from all manner of devices, including mobile
phones or Interact-connected’ gizmos.

And because the
data are in a standardized format easily downloadable, people will no longer
need to enter and update their contact information on lots of different sites
nor search painstakingly through a corporate Web site looking for a contact
number.

This has lots of
intriguing repercussions for businesses and individuals. Case in point：Instead of firing up, say, PizzaJoint.com
on a PC to find the phone number and address of a local pizza parlor, customers
will be able to go to PizzaJoint.tel and the contact details will pop into
their phones. Telnic says that third-party applications are already being
developed that will automatically import contact information from .tel into the
Research in Motion BlackBerry and Apple iPhone. Contact details are represented
as hot links, so clicking on a phone number will launch a call.

New .tel
addresses are also likely to spring up for categories of companies. A London
hotel, for instance, might ensure that visitors call find it by registering
with http://hotels.tel, which would then encourage users to call for
reservations or click over to the hotel’s Web site. One advantage for
companies, Hayward says, is that information on .tel doesn’t need to be managed
by the IT department (unlike a Website), so changes can be made easily and
cheaply. “We built the technology so that all you have to do is fill in a form
with contact information and press save,” says Hayward.

Needless to say,
one of the biggest concerns is privacy. Telnic says its battle-tested
technology leaves control over the dispersal of contact information in the
hands of the domain owner, who can set different levels of access. So, for
example, friends and family could have full view of all of an individual’s
contact details, while other information is hidden from business contacts,
unknown Web surfers, or search engines.

Like other
domain names, .tel will be sold via designated registrars, which have to meet
certain criteria and be approved by ICANN. On Oct. 22, Telnic announced that
l00 registrars have already signed up to sell the .tel domain name in Europe,
Asia, and the U.S. Among them are U.S.-based Network Solutions, which ranks
third largest in the world in number of domains under management, and new entrants
such as Digitrad, a Paris-based voice-over-Internet communications software
company.

Digitrad says it
opted to be a registrar for .tel because it sees the potential for its own
clients. It plans to use .tel domains to channel different forms of communication
into a single interface, says Micha Benoliel, the company’s chief executive.
For example, if a consumer agrees to include his location information, Digitrad
will leverage the .tel information by providing a “multimedia phone number” that
will ring wherever the person happens to be—at his desk, in the office, or on
his mobile. A call can also be put through directly to a person’s computer
whenever or wherever they are connected.

For each
purchase of a .tel domain by a business customer, Digitrad will provide a
vanity phone number, a virtual switchboard, a unified voicemail system, click-to-call
solutions and voice-over-IP services. Benoliel says both .tel and Digitrad’s
own services will serve as a complement to existing Websites, making it easier
for clients to contact a business.

And, of course,
Digitrad, like other registrars, will make money by selling the .tel address to
individuals and businesses. Registration opens on Dec. 3 for businesses with
registered trademarks. From Feb. 3 to Mar. 23, the so-called “land rush” period,
businesses and individuals can sign up for an elevated fee that will differ
from registrar to registrar. Digitrad, for example, plans to charge €300($397) for a one-year
subscription. But after Mar. 23, Digitrad’s price will drop to just € 1($1.32) per month. The
advantage to signing up early is that names are doled out on a first-come,
first-serve basis. Other registrars may charge differently, but the range is
expected to fall within $15 to $25 a year, says Telnic’s Hayward.

1 Telnic’s method is revolutionary because

A. it tries to
use a new capacity in the Internet.

B. people can
make friends on the Internet.

C. it has
supplanted the traditional yellow page and while page.

D. it will
enable friends to chat on the Internet.

2 According to the passage. Telnic is
in______.

A. America

B. Britain

Part 3 Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. (30

A new study
shows that the population of the United States will increase by more than 50
percent in the next half century, and that immigrants will account for more
than 60 percent of that increase. The independent research group of Center for
Immigration Studies released the results of the study Thursday in Washington,
D.C., and sponsored a panel discussion on the study’s implications.

The study shows
that more than l.2 million new residents settle in the United States each year
as the result of both legal and illegal immigration, much of it from Hispanic
countries. The study concludes that the U. S. population will increase from its
current 301 million people to 468 million by 2060 and that this will have a
dramatic impact on the nation’s workforce, retirement community, urban growth
and environment.

The study’s
author, Steven Camarota, put into perspective what 167 million new immigrants
and their descendants will mean. “The 167 million increase that the U. S. is on
course for the next 53 years is equal to the combined populations of Great
Britain, France and Spain, all together. The 105 million from immigration by
itself is equal to 13 New York cities. ”

Camarota pointed
out that his projections do not take into account any increases in immigration.
“Net immigration has been increasing for five decades. If that trend continues,
then immigration will add more than the 105 million projected from the current
level. It is also worth noting that most of the l05 million comes from legal
immigration.”

Not all the
panelists agreed with the idea that millions of new immigrants could have a
negative impact. Ben Wattenberg is with the American Enterprise Institute.
“There is always in America some kind of nativist anti-immigrant feeling. A
century ago, it was said that Jews were unclean, ignorant and spoke with a
terrible accent. Their children and grandchildren won Nobel prices and shaped
the global culture. And you can track every immigrant group, they started out
being hated. ”

Study author
Steven Carnarota said population growth can lead to a deteriorating quality of
life in the United States, but it does not have to. He said it could also lead
better business opportunities. He said what the nation needs is a clear policy
on immigration and population growth.

一项新的研究表明，在未来半个世纪，美国的人口将增加50%以上，而移民将占到这一增长的60%以上。美国移民研究中心的独立研究小组星期四在华盛顿公布了这项研究的结果，并赞助了一个专家小组来讨论该研究可能带来的影响。

该项研究显示，每年有超过一百二十万的人口以合法或非法移民的方式在美国定居，其中大部分人口来自拉美裔国家。而该研究得出的结论是到2060年，美国人口将从目前的3.01亿人增加到4.68亿，这对国家劳动力、退休社区、城市发展和环境都将产生意想不到的影响。

该研究报告的作者史蒂文•卡马罗塔清楚地知道1.67亿新移民和他们的后代对于这个国家意味着什么。“未来53年，美国增长的1.67亿人口将等于英国、法国和西班牙人口的总和。而来自移民的1.05亿人口就相当于13个纽约人口的总和。”

卡马罗塔指出,他的预测并没有考虑移民人口上的增加。“净移民增长已经持续五年了。如果这一趋势持续下去，移民人口增幅将超过基于当前水平预测的1.05亿人。同样值得注意的是，1.05亿移民中的大多数都是合法移民。”

并不是所有的专家都认同这样的观点，即数百万新移民可能会产生负面影响。来自美国企业研究所的本•瓦顿伯格表示，“美国总有某种本土主义的反移民情绪。一个世纪以前，犹太人被认为是不干净的，无知的，说话带着一种可怕的口音。但他们的子女和孙辈却获得了诺贝尔奖，并塑造了全球文化。你可以追踪每一个移民群体，他们开始都被人憎恨。”

研究报告作者史蒂文•卡马罗塔表示在美国，人口增长可能会导致生活质量的恶化，但这不一定。他认为这也可能带来更好的商业机会。他说，美国需要的是一个明确的移民政策和人口增长政策。

【参考范文】

Since the
beginning of the reform and opening-up in 1978, China has been undergoing
number of social and economic changes. People now enjoy a higher standard of
living. However, more and more people choose to divorce. According to a report
released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in 2015, the divorce rate in China has
increased to 3.9 percent, with 3.63 million couples bringing their marriage to
an end, compared to 1.05 percent in 2003, and 0.4 percent in 1985. Why some happy
marriages fail? There can be many factors that contribute to divorce, but the
following two reasons may better explain the soaring divorce rate.

On the one
hand, the social progress and growing gender equality in China has encouraged
women to extricate themselves from an unhappy marriage and protect themselves
in cases of domestic violence or extramarital affairs. Nowadays women in big
cities and urban regions have more opportunities for higher education leading
to well-paid jobs, which makes them financially independent. They don’t need to
put up with a dead marriage for the sake of their husbands’ financial support.
As for women in the rural area, they may be forced to stay in a broken
marriage, but they become more and more aware that divorce is not a shame and
it could be a new beginning of a happy life.

On the other
hand, the mass adoption of social media across China has made it easier to have
an affair and trigger divorce. With the popularization of smart phone and the
development of the social media, more and more people use apps such as Wechat
and MOMO. A lot of couples are addicted to these apps and chat with strangers
secretly, instead of their own spouses. Gradually, they turn away from each
other.

As far as I am
concerned, although the divorce rate is so high, I still desire for a happy
marriage. Happy marriages are all like while every unhappy marriage is unhappy
in its own way. If you try to find eternal happiness through marriage, then you
are doomed to be unhappy, even get divorced. Love is necessary to a successful
union, but a perfect one is based on mutual trust and tolerance. It is not an
easy task to manage a happy marriage since there are so many trifles in our
life, but if you can show your respect for your spouse and have more communication
with each other, you will be much happier.
