Part A
51.[参考样文]
Dear Professor,
The issues of U.S. business magazine I borrowed from you a month ago are being delivered to you by EMS.
I am really sorry for not returning them sooner as intended. Please accept my sincere apology, as well as my genuine thanks.
I found the articles I was looking for from the magazines and got a lot of valuable information. Unexpectedly, I was slower in getting them through than had promised.
It was very kind of you to lend me these magazines, and I hope the delay has not been an inconvenience to you.
I owe you very much indeed for these magazines.
Respectfully your,
Li Ming
Part B
52.[参考样文]
The cartoon depicts a vivid scene in which two strong cyclists riding two similar bicycles labelled “ENERGY” and “ENVIRONMENT” respectively, are furiously dashing head on against each other. The most striking features of the cartoon may be the dripping sweat of the cyclists and the single front wheel shared by the two bikes, which show the intensity and inevitability of their struggle.
The main idea of the cartoon is apparent: the need to produce and consume energy comes into acute conflict with the need to preserve the environment. The rapid expansion of populations and their increasing demands for a better living lie at the root of deterioration of the natural environment.
Can we find a way to get out of the awkward situation? I presume it of vital importance for man to realize that he is an integral part of nature, the destruction of which means the perishing of himself. I also have confidence in modern technology and genius which will enable man to change present energy patterns to avoid environmental pollution. The appearance of ecological products promise a bright prospect of settling the energyenvironment contradiction.

科幻电影可以作为关于未来的神化,对未来进行一些保证。不管是关于2001年还是关于星球大战,这些电影描述的进步将人类的力量和经验扩展到了令现在的人无法相信的地步,而且他们向我们保证,所有这些进步都不会使我们现在所了解的人类或者生命消失。因此,这样的神话消除了关于未来的一个很大忧虑:在未来,我们将不会再有现在这样的位置了。它们还承诺说,即使在最遥远的未来,不管物质世界发生了多大的进步,人类关注的基本问题仍然和现在一样。而我们这个时代中心的道德问题——正义和邪恶之间的斗争,在未来也同样重要。
过去和未来是我们生活中永恒的维度,而现在只不过是一个短暂的瞬间。所以,这些关于未来的想象也包含了我们过去的生活。星球大战所围绕的问题过去也同样促使人们征战。因此,关于未来的想象实际上是以对过去的看法为基础的,因为只有过去是可以肯定的。

虽然疾病比社会组织重要,公共生活还是会产生许多特殊危险。虽然社会组织能够减少疾病带来的危险,贸易、城市化,以及随之而来的卫生和污染问题,也会使其加重。即使在二十世纪中叶,在小儿麻痹症和艾滋病盛行的短暂间歇,被污染空气中的致癌物质引发的广泛流行的健康危机仍然威胁着工业化的世界。
对经济学家而言,与这些危机进行斗争所做的种种努力,至少从某种程度上而言,是一种公共产品。它们带给受益者的利益是不可分割的。就获得的利益而言,卫生保健的一位单独购买者能够让社会中其他成员搭上“顺风车”。对市场理论家来说,这些产品是政府对市场进行干预的合理产物。虽然公共产品的理论能够解释社会健康法的有关方面,帮助其融入现代经济理论,它还是忽略了至关重要的一点。健康不佳不是经济活动的副产品,而是人类生存无法避免的一种因素。结果,哪里有人类社会,哪里就有公共健康问题。每个社会都必须面对疾病的危害。而正是因为必须如此,每个社会都试图在社会特定的文化、宗教和科学环境下理解疾病。就这个意义来说,我们说卫生保健是公共的,不仅是因为它带来的利益是不可分割的,对它的威胁来自个人之外的因素,而且因为公共生活使个人可以在文化环境下对其加以理解。
政府在卫生保健方面通常扮演着活跃的角色,似乎这样做是一种义务。政府怎样行使这种职责在不同时代不同社会是不同的,决定因素不仅包括各个文化中的财富水平和科技发达程度,还包括社会基本的价值观。因为健康定义的一部分由社会的信仰体系决定,公共健康的尺度会不可避免的反映文化规则和价值。
