Section A Directions: In this section you will hear a conversation. Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation. Listen to the conversation carefully and then answer the four questions below. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
[解析] 注意地点的把握。 [详细解答]文中虽然听到了“art gallery”；“airport'’；“conference”；但针对问题，都没有足够的证据，而选项D有足够的证据，因为对话开头是“You will be in Room 207．Here is your key，and…”，所以D是正确的。
2. What does Ms. Cook imply that her main purpose was in coming to this town?
A.To attend a conference.
B.To see the planetarium.
C.To change planes.
D.To go sightseeing.
A B C D
A
[解析] 注意对文章内容的分析，抓住关键点。 [详细解答]虽然对话主要谈的是旅游观光的事宜，但这并不是Ms Cook此行的主要目的，因为对话中Ms Cook说“the conference I am attending…”o所以 A是正确答案。
3. Why does Ms. Cook not want to go to the planetarium?
A.She has recently gone there.
B.It's not a very good one.
C.There’s one in her home town.
D.It will be closed when she’s free.
A B C D
C
[解析] 对文章细节的选取。 [详细解答]细节题。A、B、D都没有足够的证据；C项是正确答案，因为Ms Cook说：“The city I come from has a good planetarium”。
4. How will Ms. Cook probably get to the waterfall?

B.By car and on foot.
C.By air and by car.
D.By air and by bus.

[解析] 1-4 F1：You'll be in Room 207．Here's your key，and I hope you enjoy your stay with us．Ms．Cook． F2：Thanks．Oh，by the way，I'd like to get some information from you．You see．the conference I'm attending will be over early Wednesday，and I don't n) out until Thursday．Do you have any recommendations for sight-seeing? F1：There's a great planetarium at our natural history museum．You might enjoy that． F2: I don't know I don't think I want to do that. The city I come from has a good planetarium. F1: There is also some good art galleries downtown. F2: I' m more interested in doing something outdoors. F1: Oh, well, there’s a beautiful waterfall called Crystal Falls not far from here. F2: That sounds like something I'd enjoy seeing. How do I get there? F1: Do you have a car, or will you be taking a bus? F2: I rented a car at the airport. F1: Then just take Waterson Street west out of town and go about five miles. You' F1 see a sign that says Crystal Falls. It's a short walk from there. F2: That sounds great. Thanks! [解题思路]从容易混淆的选项中辨认出正确答案。 [详细解答]几个选项乍一看比较混乱，但从所给材料来看应选B，因为Ms Cook说：“I rented a car at the airport”；当被建议看到瀑布的标记时，可以步行一段路，Ms Cook说：“That sounds great．”

[解析] 25-27 Indian summer is a short period of extremely fair weather and mild days in autumn. It comes in late October or early November while the leaves are changing color and failing from the trees. It has no definite day of beginning or ending. The pleasant weather follows the autumn’s first period of cold, wintry days. The days become warmer but the nights remain chilly. An Indian summer moon often has a soft yellow or orange hue. Indian summer lasts from a week to ten days and sometimes for two weeks. Then winter starts. Indian summer is caused by a large mass of warm tropical air. South winds carry these masses northward. The American Indian enjoyed Indian summer and called it a gift of a favorite God, Cautantowwit, the god of the southwest. 25. Which of the following can be understood from the passage?

Passage 3 Questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage you have just heard:
A.The role of inland waterways in the nation’s growth.
B.The development of New York City as a seaport.
C.The growth of the railroads.
D.The disappearance of the canal system.
A B C D
A
[解析] 31-34 Today I'm going to discuss transportation and communication in the earthy 19th century in the United States. At that time, inland waterways provided North America's most popular form of long distance transportation. Travel by river was often more convenient than taking a wagon over primitive country roads, especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household goods. Where the natural waterways were inadequate, shallow canals were built. The Erie Canal, opened in 1825, connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River. It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of the Hudson at a much lower cost. From there, crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports. The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier. The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Lakes. Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city. Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible. By the mid--1800's faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined. Railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter. During the first third of the century, however, transportation on rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States. Next week we'11 discuss the railroads in greater detail. 31. What is the main idea of this lecture? [试题分析]本题考查对全文内容的概括能力。 [详细解答]文中第二句话“Inland waterways provided North America's most popular form 0f long distance transportation．”下文也谈到各条运河的开凿情况。故应选A。

B.In the mid-1800’s.
C.In the early 1800's.
D.In the late 1800's.

C
[解析] When was inland waterway travel most popular? [试题分析]本题考查对具体细节和内容的辨识。 [详细解答]文中提到“到18世纪中期，铁路以快速，价廉的优势变得更为普遍，而水运则大不如从前了。”“By the mid-1800's faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined．”因此可推出答案应为C。

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter. Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people－－often rather frightening-looking people－－and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.
1. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that ______.
A.they are taught by many different teachers
B.they do not attend lessons in every subject
C.the teachers do not want to be friendly
D.the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils
A B C D
A
[解析] 根据短文，进入中学的学生们遇到的问题之一是许多老师给他们上课。 [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章细节部分的理解。 [详细解答]文章在一开始就指出，在小学，孩子们大部分时间与一位熟悉的老师建立关系(…and most 0f the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher．)，言下之意是到了中学就有所区别了。随后文章又提到Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week．and a pupil may be able t0 form relationships with very few 0f the staff．可见，老师比较多，学生们无法和他们每个人打交道，选项A符合题目的要求，是本题的正确答案。
2. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ______.
A.know how to ask for help
B.be free from any pressure of academic work
C.be able to discuss his problems in class
D.be able to discuss his problems with any teacher
A B C D
D
[解析] 在中学，每一个有问题的学生应该能够和任何一位老师探讨他的问题。 [试题分析]本题是道句意理解推论题。 [详细解答]本题的答案无法在文章中直接找到，但是可以根据第一段最后一句话进行分析推断。最后一句说．．．．Good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter．学校承诺可以提供帮助，而实际上对是否是这样要提出疑问，那就说明在现实生活中并非如此。由此可见，本题的正确答案应该是D。
3. In this passage about secondary schools, the author is mainly concerned about ______.
A.academic standards
B.the role of specialist teachers
C.the training of the individual teachers
D.the personal development of pupils
A B C D
D
[解析] 在本篇关于中学的文章中作者主要关心的是学生的个人发展。 [试题分析]本题是道分析推断题。 [详细解答]文章在第一段中就提到进入中学，学生们很快就知道了不能对老师随便乱说话，即使对他们的同学也不能（The pupils soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teaches and even to his fellow pupils.）。在最后一段中有这么一句话：He sees a great deal of movement ,a great number of people-often rather frightening-looking people-and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made.从这里也可以看到学生们所面临的处境，而这些都影响着学生们个人的发展因此D应该是本题的最佳选项。
4. Which of the following statements is true?
A.Pupils will form relationships with old pupils rather than teachers.
B.The setting of the primary school is comparatively simpler than that of the secondary school.
C.All the teachers in the secondary school are rather frightening-looking.
D.Pupils have opportunities to get help from any teacher in the secondary school.
A B C D
B
[解析] 下列叙述中正确的是哪一项? [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章细节部分进行辨析的能力。 [详细解答]文章的第一句话就说到在小学，孩子处在一个相对简单的环境里(In the primary school．a child is in a comparatively simple setting…)，文章大部分谈论的又是中学的情况，由此可以判断出第一句话中所说的相对简单是与中学相比较而言的，因此在所给四个选项中符合题意的是B项“小学的环境相对于中学的环境要简单一些”。
5. What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The difference between the primary school and the secondary school.
B.The method that pupils get help from the teachers.
C.The personal development of the pupils in the secondary school.
Every Sunday morning millions of Indians settle down with a cup of tea and the special week- end issues of their newspapers, just as Americans do. But here, with the marriage season approaching, many of them turn quickly to a Sunday feature that is particularly Indian--the columns and columns of marriage advertisements in which young people look for husbands and wives. "Beautiful Brahman girl wanted for bank officer from well-connected family," one says. "Vegetarian man (doctor, engineer preferred) for church-educated girl with light complexion," says another. "Solid 25-year-old, salary four figures, wants tall, charming, educated Punjabi," says a third. This is a relatively modern change in the age-old custom of the arranged marriage. The thou- sands of advertisements published each week increasingly reflect social changes that are coming to this traditional society. For example, although women are still usually described in terms of appearance, or skills in "the wifely arts," information about their earning power is entering more and more of the advertisements. This reflects the arrival in India of the working wife. Divorce, which used to be almost unheard of in India, is sometimes now mentioned in the advertisements as in the case of a woman whose advertisement in a New Delhi newspaper explained that she had been "the innocent party" when her marriage broke up. Because the custom of the dowry (marriage payment) is now illegal, some advertisements say “no dowry,” or “simple marriage,” which means the same thing. However, the fathers of many bridegrooms still require it. As a sign of the slight loosening of the rigid caste (social class) system, a number of advertisements promise "caste not important," or "girl's abilities will be main consideration.” The majority of them, however, still require not only caste, such as Brahman or Kshatriya, but also a certain home region or ethnic origin. In a land where light skin is often regarded as socially preferable, many also require that a woman have a "wheat-color" complexion or that a man be "tall. fair and handsome. " Advertisements are placed and eagerly read by a wide range of people in the upper classes, mostly in cities. Many of them receive dozens of answers. "There’s nothing embarrassing about it," explained a Calcutta businessman advertising for a son-in-law. "It' s just another way of broadening the contacts and increasing the possibility of doing the best one can for one' s daughter. " Because of high unemployment and a generally poor standard of living here, one of the best at- tractions a marriage advertisement can offer is a permit to live abroad, especially in Canada or the United States. A person who has one can get what he wants. One recent Sunday in Madras, for example, a Punjabi engineer living in San Francisco advertised for a "beautiful slim bride with lovely features knowing music and dance.” And a man whose advertisement said that he had an American immigration permit was able to say, "Only girls from rich, well-educated families need apply.”
6. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ______.
A.India's society is changing
B.women work
C.arranged marriages are an age-old custom
D.working wife arrives
A B C D
A
[解析] 第三段的主要意思是印度的社会正在改变。 [试题分析]本题是道逻辑分析推理题。 [详细解答]本段的主题句在第二句：The thousands of advertisements published each week increasingly reflect social changes that are coming to this traditional society．(每个星期刊出的成千上万的广告不断反应了这个传统社会经历的社会变革)。根据此主题句就不难找出本题的最佳选项应为A项。
7. Although he does not directly say it, the Calcutta businessman would probably agree that ______.
A.it is a good idea to place marriage advertisements in the newspaper
B.it is a bad idea to place marriage advertisements in the newspaper
C.it is embarrassing if anyone answers such advertisements
D.it is embarrassing if no one answers such advertisements
A B C D
A
[解析] 尽管并未直接说，凯尔卡特市的商人可能同意在报纸上刊登婚姻广告是个好主意。 [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章句意的理解。 [详细解答]凯尔卡特市的商人虽然未直接发表观点，但是他说“There’s nothing embarrassing about it．”(这样做没什么尴尬的)而且他是在登广告找女婿时说这句话的，因此句中的it指代的是advertising for a son-in-law．同时他认为登广告“It’ just another way 0f broadening the contacts and increasing the possibility of doing the best one can for one’s daughter．”(这是拓宽接触面的又一种方法，同时增加了为其女儿选择最合适人选的可能性。)同样这句话中的it仍然指的是advertising for a son-in-law．通过这样简单的分析，我们不难推断出本题的最佳答案应该是A项在报纸上登征婚广告是一个好主意。
8. In "A person who has one can get what he wants," one refers to ______.
A.feature
B.marriage advertisement

10. A good title for this article would be _______.
An eminent neurologist(神经学者), Eric Lenneberg, argued ( Lenneberg, 1967 ) that the human capacity for language acquisition develops according to built-in biological schedules. Native language learning, he claimed, begins with the start of a state of "resonance" in the child which lasts from about two until the onset of puberty(青春期), at about age thirteen. The evidence for this so-called critical period for language acquisition offered by Lenneberg was clinical. Children aged two or three who suffer brain damage may lose all or part of the language they have learned, but are able to begin the learning process again, often progressing at a faster rate than before. When children suffer aphasia(失语症) between four and ten and begin learning language again, recovery is usually complete, even if requiring several years. Aphasias suffered after puberty, on the other hand, are rarely recovered frown completely, and among those occurring 'after age eighteen, re covery is the exception rather than the ride, partial or total language loss usually being permanent. When Krashen (1973) reexamined the data on speech loss and recovery after unilateral brain damage, plus that available from psychological and dicrotic listening tests, he found that the process of language lateralization, the shifting of most linguistic knowledge to the left hemisphere (in most right-handed people), is completed far earlier than puberty, probably by age five in most cases, Further, the ability to transfer language function from the language-dominant hemisphere to the minor one when the former suffers damage also seems to disappear after five, although the idea that it may continue until puberty in some cases is a possibility, too, on the basis on the evidence available.
11. If the child suffers aphasia, he can recover completely _____
A.before the onset of puberty
B.after age eighteen
C.before age two
D.after puberty
A B C D
A
[解析] 如果孩子患有失语症的话，在青春期开始之前能够完全恢复。 [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章句意的理解。 [详细解答]本题答案的根据在文章的第一段。文中说到：When children suffer aphasia between four and ten and begin learning language again, recovery i8 usually complete，even if requiring several years．而4至10岁正是属于青春期之前，所以本题的正确答案应该是A项。
12. Which of the following statements is true?
A.Anyone who suffers aphasia may have the ability to recover completely.
B.Usually, children who suffer aphasia can recover immediately.
C.It may take several years for children who suffer aphasia before the onset of puberty to recover comletely.
D.The recovery for the children who suffer aphasia is the exception rather than the rule.
A B C D
C
[解析] 下列叙述正确的是哪一项? [试题分析]本题足道细节辨别题。 [详细解答]文章第一段中清楚地阐明了：When children suffer aphasia between four and ten and begin learning language again，recovery is usually complete．even if requiring several years．从这句话可以推断出本题的正确答案应该是c项“在青春期之前患有失语症的孩子可能要用几年时间才能完全恢复”。
13. The ability of transferring language function will disappear ______.
A.after puberty
B.after five
C.between four and ten
D.before the onset of puberty
A B C D
B
[解析] 转移语言功能的能力在5岁以后将会消失。 [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章句意的理解。 [详细解答]文章的最后一段为本题答案的选择提供了依据：Further，the ability to transfer language function from the language-dominant hemisphere to the minor one when the former suffers damage also seems to disappear after five，．．．由此可见本题的正确答案是B而非其他了。
14. Children aged two or three can _______ after recovering from aphasia.
A.make a faster progress in learning than before
B.recovery part of the learning ability
C.do nothing but wait
D.lose their heart
A B C D
A
[解析] 两三岁的孩子从失语症恢复了之后能够在学习语言上取得比以前更快的进步。 [试题分析]本题是道细节题。 [详细解答]文章第一段中有一句话为本题答案的选择提供了依据，那就是：Children aged two or three who suffer brain damage may lose all or part of the language they have learned．but are able to begin the learning process again, often progressing at a faster rate than before．据此可知A是本题的正确选项。
Section B Directions: In this section there are four passages with a total of four multiple-choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answer on your answer sheet.
Passage 1
1. Shakespeare lovers keen to see the place where the Bard’s mother Mary Arden grew up have been visiting the wrong house since the 18th century. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust said that new research had shown the Tudor farmhouse long known as "Mary Arden's House" in fact belonged to a family friend. The mother of William Shakespeare, England's most famous playwriter, actually lived in another property close by the Warwickshire village of Wilmcote, three miles north of Stratford - upon - Avon. The discovery was made by local historian Nat Alcock, who traced medieval land deeds, including a rental agreement dating from 1587, showing that a building known as Glebe Farm was Maty’s childhood home. The house thought to have been her home was in fact owned by Adam Palmer, a family friend and neighbor. Glebe Farm will now be known as Mary Arden’s House and the building which previously bore that name will be called Palmer’s Farm.The passage is chiefly about
1. The British are the European Union’s worst linguists while the citizens of Luxembourg are the best, according to an EU poll published recently. Almost two - thirds of Britons know no language apart from their mother tongue, the highest figure recorded in the 15 EU countries.

Section A Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE a single line through the centre. Music comes in many forms; most countries have style of their own. 1 the turn of the century when jazz was born, America had no prominent 2 of its own. No one knows exactly when jazz was 3 , or by whom. But it began to be 4 in the early 1900s. Jazz is America’s contribution to 5 music. In contrast to classic music, which 6 formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free -form. It bubbles with energy, 7 the moods, interests, and emotions of the people. In the 1920s jazz 8 like America. And 9 it does today. The 10 of this music are as interesting as the music 11 .American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz 12 They were brought to the Southern states 13 slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long 14 .When a Negro died his friends and relatives 15 a procession to carry the body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the 16 .On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the occasion. 17 on the way home the mood changed. Spirit lifted. Death had removed one of their 18 , but the living were glad to be alive. The band played 19 music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes 20 at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.
Section B Directions: In this part, there are five underlined sentences which are required to be translated into Chinese. Read them carefully and refer to the passage so as to identify their meanings in the context.
1. Thus, with one class possessing the requisite knowledge and experience, but lacking incentive and leisure, and the other class lacking the knowledge and experience, there was no means by which technical progress could be achieved.
[解析] 本题主要采用了增词法、语态转换法和词序调整法。 [翻译要点]该句的主干是there was no means．其中by which引导的定语从句修饰means；介词with引导的是独立主格结构作句子的原因状语。在翻译时，可将三个独立主格结构译为三个分句，因其表达与汉语的表述相近，可用顺译法，incentive原意为“刺激；鼓励，动机”，这里意译为“劳动积极性”.本句的难点在于如何翻译there was no means by which technical progress could be achieved，可将被动语态转换为主动语态，并增译“社会”一词，同时将句首的thus移到此处来，使译文更连贯。
2. In general, cancer cells divide at a higher rate than do normal cells, but the distinction between the growth of cancerous and normal tissues is not so much the rapidity of cell division in the former as it is the partial or complete loss of growth restraint in cancer cells and their failure to differentiate into a useful, limited tissue of the type that characterizes the functional equilibrium of growth of normal tissue.
[解析] 本题主要采用了分译法和语序调整法。 [翻译要点]西方人喜欢采用“浓缩型”的思维方式习惯将众多的信息靠各种手段凝聚于一个句子单位加以思考，句子结构复杂，纵横交错；而中国人往往更趋向于按时间顺序、逻辑顺序把问题层层铺开，用节节短句逐点交代，这种“展开型”的思维方式更利于把问题说清说透。因此，在翻译这样信息量大又复杂的句子时，可考虑将but之前的分句分译为一句，而第二分句也可拆开译成两句，其中not so much…as…意为“与其说……不如说……”。differentiate在生物学中意为“分化，不断发生进行的发展变化”；为符合汉语的表达习惯，定语从句that characterizes the functional equilibrium of growth 0f normal tissue应挪到所修饰语之前来译。
3. Such an awareness would recognize not only the complexity and interdependence of the ecosphere (生态层) , but also the need to preserve the ecological and cultural diversity of the world, the integrity and stability of its natural communities, and the dignity and freedom of human populations.
[解析] 本题主要采用了顺译法、重译法和增词法。 [翻译要点]本句的结构并不复杂，而且句子的表达顺序也符合汉语的表达顺序，因此可采用顺译法。本句的难点在于如何翻译such an awareness would recognize。首先，根据上下文，我们可知such an awareness指的是environmental awareness，应在译文中明确指代；同时，按照汉语的表达习惯应是“环保意识要求我们承认”，而不是“意识承认”，故应用到增词法；为了起到强调作用，应重译the need to pre．serve，并将名词need转译为动词“必须”。在翻译时，还应注意句中的一些抽象名词如complexity，diversity，integrity和stability的译法。
4. Usually, if the offender complies with the probation order and commits no further offense while it is in force, no other penalty is imposed, but if he breaks the requirement of the order or commits another offense, he can be brought back before the court and punished for the original offense as well as the later one.
[解析] 本题主要采用了语态转换法和词序调整法。 [翻译要点]本句是由but连接的两个分句组成的并列句；其中第一个分句中，句子主干为n0 other penalty is imposed，第二个分句的句子主干为he can be brought back before the court and punished for the original offense；每个分句中，都有一个由if引导的条件状语从句。在翻译第一个分句时，可将套在条件状语从句中的时间状语从句while it is in force挪到前面来译，使之更符合汉语的表达习惯；其中it指的是the offender，可省去不译；in force意为“在缓刑期间”。应注意在汉语中一般很少用被动语态，所以可将no other penalty is imposed转为主动语态。Punished for the original offense as well as the later one可简单地译为“两罪并罚”。
5. Some countries allow courts to disqualify from driving those offenders who have used motor vehicles in commission of the crime for which they are being sentenced, with the aim of hindering the offender from committing further such offenses.
[解析] 本题主要采用了分译法和语序调整法。 [翻译要点]本句的主干部分是Some countries allow coups to disqualify。句中介词短语from driving把动词不定式to disqualify和其宾语those offenders…分割开了；who引导的定语从句修饰those offenders，在此从句中还套有一个由for which引导的定语从句修饰the crime；with the aim of为独立主格结构做主句的目的状语。为了使表达明晰，可将who引导的定语从句分译为一个独立的句子，并移至最前面来译；同时将名词词组in the commission of crime翻译成了动词词组。to disqualify意为“使不合适；剥夺资格”；hinder...from意为“阻止；阻碍”。
Part Ⅳ Writing Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic: Deepen China’s Reform. You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:
The achievements of China's reform have established a firm foundation for deepening reform. Politically, China has adopted the principle of "governing the country according to law.” China's economy is vitalized, and people's living conditions have been improved. Moreover, China enjoys a stable political environment and makes rapid progress in economic construction. However, the road of deepening reform is uneven. To begin with, further reform means overcoming rooted defects in our political structure and changing unreasonable factors in economic structure, so it will run up against all kinds of resistances and differences. Besides, some old perceptions and conventional ideology are still influential. And not all people welcome further reform. To strengthen our country we must continue making our efforts to deepen reform. The depth of re- form, to some extent, determines the future development of our country. Therefore, we ought to take full advantage of the best development period, adhere to opening up policy and accelerate the speed of reform so as to attain our goals.
