W: Today, in this studio, we have Alberto Cuties, the well-known Brazilian advocator of the anti-global movement. He’s here to talk about the recent report stating that by 2050, Brazil will be one of the world’s wealthiest and most successful countries. Alberto, what do you say about this report?
M: You know this isn’t the first time that people are saying Brazil will be a great economic power. The same thing was said over 100 years ago, but it didn’t happen.
W: Yes, but you must admit the world’s a very different place now.
M: Of course. In fact, I believe that there may be some truths in the predictions this time around. First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment.
W: Such as?
M: There’s an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country. In San Paulo, you can see shopping malls full of designer goods right next door to the slum areas without proper water or electricity supplies. A lot of work needs to be done to help people in those areas improve their lives.
W: What needs to be done?
M: Education, for example. For Brazil, to be successful, we need to offer education to all Brazilians.
Successful countries, like South Korea and Singapore have excellent education systems. Brazil needs to learn from these countries.
W: So you’re hopeful for the future?
M: As I said earlier, I’m hopeful. This isn’t an easy job. We need to make sure that these important opportunities for Brazil aren’t wasted as they were in the past.
Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
5. What does the recent report say about Brazil?
6. What did people say about Brazil over 100 years ago?
7. What problem does Alberto say Brazil faces now?
8. What does Alberto say about economically successful countries?
选项
A、The inadequate supply of water and electricity.
B、The lack of overall urban planning.
C、The shortage of hi-tech personnel.
D、The huge gaps between the haves and have-nots.
答案
D
解析
选项讨论的是劣势和缺点。考生要特别关注巴西目前的问题。男士说巴西目前最严重的是贫富之间的巨大差距。选项D中的the have 和 the have-nots 对应于听力中的 the rich 和 the poor。选项A极具迷惑性,这仅仅是男士举的例子用以说明贫富差距。
