（一）G8 Summit

Leaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations (G8) will meet in Scotland in July this year. Representatives from China, India, Mexico, South Africa and Brazil have also been invited. Here's what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world's poorest countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2010. He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers and removing restrictions on African exports. This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests. On climate change, Blair wants concerted (共同的) action by reducing carbon emissions (排放).

US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption. Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit, according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol (《京都議定書》). Although the US is the world's biggest polluter, Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.

French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change. He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair's Africa proposals. Schroder's officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa's problems as "old thinking." Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they've solved the corruption problem.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage. Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard (跳板) next year to propose aid to the former Soviet republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Moldova.

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council, for which he will be lobbying (游說) at the summit. And he's concerned about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear weapons programme.

［長難句結構解析］

1. Here's what the G8 leaders want from the meeting. 這個句子雖然很短，但是我們得了解這其中的兩個小點。

（1）here提前放在句首，表示的是一個非常簡單的倒裝句，目的在于強調下文要講述的內容。例：Here comes the bus. 公交車來了。我們通常見的there be句型事實上也是倒裝句。

（2）首先what放在be動詞后面，be動詞后面的成分作的是表語，故what引導的是一個表語成分?？忌涀。瑥木湓诰渥又凶魇裁闯煞?，就是什么從句。例：What he said is right. 此處what引導的是主語從句，因為它在這個句子作的是主語。

（3）參考譯文：以下就是八國領導人想從會議上得到的。

2. Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard (跳板) next year to propose aid to the former Soviet republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Moldova. 這個句子沒有比較難的結構，我們來說幾個詞的用法。

（1）intend是一個動詞，intend to：打算去做……。

（2）aid是一個名詞，意為“援助，幫助”。foreign aid：外國援助；first aid：急救，急救護理。

（3）propose是一個動詞，意為“建議，提供”。當propose作“建議”講用在it is proposed that...這個句型時，that從句后面的動詞要用should＋動詞原形的形式，這是一個虛擬語氣的句子。

（4）Soviet republics：蘇聯(lián)加盟共和國，它在1991年年底解體，分出去的國家也就是現(xiàn)在的格魯吉亞、亞美尼亞、烏茲別克斯坦、塔吉克斯坦、摩爾多瓦等國家。

（5）參考譯文：明年普京打算把對非洲的援助作為跳板來援助前蘇聯(lián)加盟共和國——格魯吉亞、烏茲別克斯坦、塔吉克斯坦、摩爾多瓦。

［答案解析］

1．B。［解析］由專有名詞G8以及題目中出現(xiàn)的中國、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西這幾個國家回到原文，很輕松就可以確定到第一段：Representatives from China, India, Mexico, South Africa and Brazil have also been invited. 文章意思是說中國、印度等國的代表也受到邀請，證明它們不是成員國。故答案為B。

2．A。［解析］依據(jù)題干的主語Blair，我們回到原文去定位，很輕松可以找到答案出自第二段：On climate change, Blair wants concerted (共同的) action by reducing carbon emissions (排放)。布萊爾希望可以通過共同的努力來減少二氧化碳的排放，故答案為A。

3．C。［解析］依據(jù)題干的主語India，我們回到原文去定位，第一段：Representatives from China, India, Mexico, South Africa and Brazil have also been invited. 原文只是說印度受到邀請，但并未說明印度接受邀請，故答案為C。

4．B。［解析］依據(jù)題干的主語Bush，我們回到原文去定位，很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)第三段有相關的信息：But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption. 布什不愿意增加對非洲的資助，故答案為B。

5．A。［解析］依據(jù)題干的主語Chirac，我們回到原文去定位，很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)第四段有相關的信息：French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change. Chirac支持布萊爾對非洲和氣候改變的相關主張，這跟題干所表達的意思是一致的，故正確答案為A。

6．B。［解析］依據(jù)題干的主語Bush和Kyoto Protocol，我們回到原文去定位，發(fā)現(xiàn)第三段有相關信息：The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol (《京都議定書》). Although the US is the world's biggest polluter, Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem. 美國是目前G8成員國中唯一沒有簽署《京都議定書》的國家，并且目前也拒絕相信碳排放會帶來相關問題。題干所陳述部分與原文信息不符，故答案為B。

7．C。［解析］依據(jù)題干的主語Japan和Blair，我們回到原文去定位，不難看出文章最后一段敘述了日本的態(tài)度，但是原文并未提到日本是否會拒絕布萊爾的提案。故答案為C。
