第一次讲述有关这个人的情况，[B][C]都提到了人物，再具体看他们所说的话。[B]说的是there are "approximately 20,480 armed extremists" in Somalia and "85% of the government is al-Itihaad"，[C]说的是an al-Itihaad camp on Ras Kamboni island is still active，而根据下文说的he would be ready "to liberate the country from these evil forces"可知上文提到的应该是许多势力，而[C]中只是一个“基地”阵营而已，所以[B]与下文内容符合。 44.[C] 本题的上文讲的是关于梅尔卡市目前的情况，而下文是联合国对于该城市的某个情况的了解，后面又提到了这个岛屿和Kismaayo较近，可以推断空白处应该也是关于这个城市的内容，选项中只有[C]提到了Ras Kamboni island，和下文吻合。而且an al-Itihaad camp on Ras Kamboni island is still active 这句话正是对上文的一个解释，所以[C]是正确答案。 45.[A] 本题上文讲的是有关al-Itihaad组织的情况，因此空白处应该也是这方面内容，所有选项中只有[A]提及了这个组织，讲的是这个组织后来和目前的情况，而上文讲的正好是该组织过去的状况，正好吻合。所以[A]是正确答案。

Part C

46帕坦部族通常不是内部进行私斗，就是陷入公共战争，只有收割的季节才能停息，那时自我保护意识暂时告一段落。

47因此，帕坦人的生活中充满了利害关系。另一方面，由于有着取之不竭的阳光，充沛的水源，那里的山谷肥沃富饶，再加上人口稀少，不需要什么劳作就可以满足起码的物质需求。

48一支可在1500码远的地方精确射杀的武器开辟了全新的局面，每个能够得到的家族、部落都欢欣鼓舞。

49这些要求有点过了头，一系列的争端也由此而起。

50他们被指控犯下了滔天罪行——“拖延”，就是说把能做的事情都做完了才开火。

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you to express my dissatisfaction with one of your tours that I took over the National Day holiday. I participated in the 7-day tour of Yunnan (tour code YN10).

There were two things that I was particularly disappointed with. First, the hotel accommodation did not in any way resemble the pictures we were shown prior to the tour. The rooms were unclean and dark. Second, the guide did not accompany us throughout the whole tour, as advertised. Frequently, we had to fend for ourselves.

Given the above, I feel entitled to a partial refund of the tour fee, to compensate for the lower quality accommodation and partial absence of a tour guide.

Yours faithfully,

Li Ming

Cars: Should we Love them or Hate them?

In the picture, there are some statistics showing the cars number in China from 1980 to 2002. From the statistics, we can see that the number of cars has increased drastically since the turn of the millennium.

The statistics indicate that there is a higher and higher demand for cars nowadays. Ten years ago, the car was a real luxury for most of the people in China. Owning a car seemed to be a dream too far away to realize. However, this luxury is now becoming somewhat of a necessity to many people. From this phenomenon, a conclusion can be reached that the living standards of the people have improved by a big margin. Cars make our life more convenient. However, good dreams may sometimes turn to be nightmares. Many problems accompany the increasing numbers of cars. There are more and more accidents which can bring disaster to many families. The city traffic is in chaos and traffic jams have become a part of our daily life. Air pollution and noise pollution caused by cars do harm to our health. People who loved cars so much before have begun to hate these annoying machines.

In fact, all things have dual characters. What we should do is to reduce the influence of the negative one to the minimum. It is true that cars have brought a lot of problems to our life. However, many measures can be taken to tackle them. More roads and overpasses can be built. Some improvements can be made to reduce the volume of the exhaust air. I believe that everybody will love cars one day in the future.
