Companies that advertise on television complain that digital television recording (DTR) services make it possible for consumers to watch television programs without viewing the commercials that these advertisers have paid the television networks to broadcast. The DTR service providers respond that their services may actually help the advertisers, because without their service, many consumers would not have been able to watch the programs—or the commercials in them—in the first place.　 Which of the following, if true, offers the most support to the advertisers’ claims that the DTR services are currently hurting their businesses?
A

Even the best commercials are usually less entertaining than the programs that consumers choose to watch for themselves.

B

DTR services charge such high rates that only a small percentage of consumers subscribe to them.

C

The average per-second cost of advertising on television has risen every year for the past two decades.

D

More than 90 percent of subscribers to DTR services opt to use a setting that automatically edits out commercials.

E

DTR services alter the television viewing experience by allowing customers to view the program of their choice at the time of their choosing.

第4题：

The European Commission's proposed tax on digital services is intended to make companies such as Google and Uber pay more.The idea is that such firms are gaming the rules at the expense of other taxpayers.The issue is real and needs to be addressed-but the answer under discussion breaks with both established international practice and plain common sense.Formal talks on the plan are due to start this week.The commission is calling for a 3 percent tax on the turnover of large digital enterprises-those with EU digital revenues over 50 million euros and total global revenues of over 750 million euros.About half the companies affected would be American,the EU estimates.The commission says it has been left with little choice.The value generated by digital companies doesn't require a physical presence,making them harder to rax.Digital businesses arrange their affairs to exploit this:They allocate income to low-tax jurisdictions and,according to officials,end up paying an effective tax of roughly 10 percent of profits,less than half of the burden carried by traditional businesses.Officials acknowledge that the right solution is a thorough overhaul of the corporate tax code,especially as it affects international firms selling digital services-and that this should be done not unilaterally but in cooperation with other countries,notably the U.S.Efforts are in fact underway,but progress has been slow,and EU officials have chosen to do something,anything,as soon as possible.Doing nothing would be better than this.For a start,the plan wouldn't raise much revenue-a meager 5 billion euros each year.And this supposedly fairer tax would bring abnormal results.For instance,companies such as Uber that don't make money will have a new cost to absorb;highly profitable firms with market power,such as Facebook,will be able to pass the tax on to their consumers.Small startups will be exempt from the new tax-unless they're acquired by larger companies.That will discourage consolidations.And the proposal as it stands may tax more activities than intended:Some financial services,for example,seem to be within its scope In its zeal to tax digital enterprises,the commission departs from many of its own stated principles.Its plan would probably require accessing individual,not just anonymized,user data.This runs counter to the EU's strict new rules on privacy,coming into force next month.Efforts to design a multinational solution need to be stepped up,not set aside.The goal should be a fair,multilateral framework that recognizes the complexity of the new digital economy while respecting the sovereignty of nations to set their own tax policy.That's an international challenge demanding an international solution.
What is the ultimate goal that digital tax legislation should pursue?

A.Efficient unilateral solution.s.
B.Simplified corporate tax systems
C.A global cooperative approach
D.An anti-tax avoidance package

答案：C
解析：
第七段先指出“欧盟应加紧努力设计多国解决方案，而非独自行动”，随后明确“立法最终目标应是公平的多边体系（a multilateral framework）”，最后再次强调“‘对数字经济征税，是国际性挑战，需要国际性的解决方案（a multinational／international solution）”，C.契合题意。[解题技巧]A.将第七段②句“多边体系亦应尊重各国立法主权（各国可变通地在多边体系下立法）”曲解为“采用单边解决方案”。B.将第七段②句complexity所修饰主体“数字经济”偷换为“公司税制”，并由此臆断出“应简化公司税制”。D.由第三段“数字公司通过转移无形资产避税”推断而来，但选项遗漏文章核心观点“欧盟的区域性解决方案不可行，数字税立法需全球通力合作”。

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)

It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history. History and news become confused, and one’s impressions tend to be a mixture of skepticism and optimism. 46) Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed -- and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as is the recent events in Europe. The Europe that is now forming cannot be anything other than its peoples, their cultures and national identities. With this in mind we can begin to analyze the European television scene. 47) In Europe, as elsewhere, multi-media groups have been increasingly successful: groups which bring together television, radio newspapers, magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another. One Italian example would be the Berlusconi group, while abroad Maxwell and Murdoch come to mind.

Clearly, only the biggest and most flexible television companies are going to be able to compete in such a rich and hotly-contested market. 48) This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in, a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.

Moreover, the integration of the European community will oblige television companies to cooperate more closely in terms of both production and distribution.

49) Creating a “European identity” that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old Continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice -- that of producing programs in Europe for Europe. This entails reducing our dependence on the North American market, whose programs relate to experiences and cultural traditions which are different from our own.

In order to achieve these objectives, we must concentrate more on co-productions, the exchange of news, documentary services and training. This also involves the agreements between European countries for the creation of a European bank for Television Production which, on the model of European Investment Bank, will handle the finances necessary for production costs. 50) In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say “Unity we stand, divided we fall” -- and if I had to choose a slogan it would be “Unity in our diversity.” A unity of objectives that nonetheless respect the varied peculiarities of each country.

46) Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed -- and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as is the recent events in Europe.


正确答案：
电视是创造和传递感情的手段之一。也许在此之前，就加强不同的民族和国家之间的联系而言，电视还从来没有像在最近的欧洲事件中起过如此大的作用。

解析：
第三、四段介绍欧盟官员观点（The commission says.…Officials acknowledge．．．）。第四段先指f|{官员们认可“多边合作改革公司税法”为最佳解决方案，随后转而阐明“国际上公司税改革进展太慢、多边解决方案难以实现”，故欧盟选择先行一步。B.契合欧盟观点。[解题技巧]A.由第三段③句“数字公司所缴税费不到传统企业的一半”反向臆断出“传统企业税太高，需减免”。C.由第三段③句“数字公司将无形资产转移至低税收辖区来避税”臆断出“欧洲应削减低税收辖区数量”，但文中并未提及“低税收辖区数量的管控问题”。D.由第四段“欧盟尤其应与美国合作改革公司税法”主观推断出“欧盟官员认为全球性公司税改革偏向美国”。
