8、育不仅仅是职业或技术培训，其基本目的从来就不是一味地传授狭义上 “有用的东西 ”，也就是让学生获得专门的实用技能，使他们能进人职场。用我那已故的大学哲学教授的话来说，高等教育的目的，是要让我们广泛了解文化传统，从内心学会欣赏，这样可能有助于我们成为负责任的公民和 (一般意义上的 )好人。 高等 教育还是关于爱的 (教育 )因为热爱学习而去学习你所热爱的知识。由此，它是 “华而不实的 ”。打那以后，我周围的一切都在不断变化。很长时间以来，我已经忘记了我在课堂和图书馆里学到的具体知识。不过，我确实学会了如何独立思考，而这在职场内外都是无价之宝。 2 【听力原文】 The United States

15、业竞争，比在生产资料市场上竞争要困难得多。原因是在生产资料市场上，买东西的人都是专家，所以品牌不如成本重要。只要做出成本低的产品，对方就愿意买。但是我们在消费品市场上面临的都是普通消费者，所以品牌就非常重要。 3 【正确答案】 Id like to talk about the brand-naming strategies of enterprises.

16、he cost advantage. Although our costs are on the rise, we still have some edge over foreign firms. The biggest disadvantage is brand recognition. We have to accept the fact that Chinese brand-name businesses with market-orientation are scarce. It is more difficult to compete with foreign businesses
17、on international consumer goods market than on capital goods market. This is because on the capital goods market, buyers are all experts in their respective fields and therefore, brand is not as important as cost. As long as products are low cost, buyers will buy them, anyway. Nevertheless, the cons

19、争取一个良好的国际和周边环境。 “以德服人 ”、 “和为贵 ”等传统思想精髓是中国处理对外关系的文化根基。为人类和平而努力是中国人的共同愿望。 4 【正确答案】 One of the arguments of the “China threat“ fallacy is that considerable increases in Chinas military expenditure will lead to arms expansion. In fact, the increase in Chinas defense expenditure has been kept at a fairly

21、mes that of Chinas. As a large responsible country, China has always given primary place to safeguarding national unity and sovereign and territorial integrity, and has dedicated itself to creating a sound international and surrounding environment for its socialist modernization drive.

It is the common desire of all the Chinese people to work hard for world peace.
