Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is in trouble. Its leader is accused of tailing to lead, and as the organization drifts, other bodies, particularly the World Bank, are setting the global health agenda. Western governments want the WHO to set realistic targets and focus its energy on tackling major killers such as childhood diseases and tobacco.
The WHO clearly needs to set priorities. Its total budget of 0.9 billion - around 10p for each man, woman and child in the world - cannot solve all the worlds health problems. Yet its senior management does not seem willing to narrow the organization's focus. Instead it is trying to be all things to all people and losing dependability.
Unfortunately, the argument for priority-setting is being seriously undermined by the US, one of the chief advocators of change. The US is trying to reduce its contribution to the WHO's regular budget from a quarter of the total to a fifth. That would leave the organization 20 million short this year. on top of the substantial debts the US already owes.
The WHO may need priorities, but it certainly doesn't need budget cuts. Thanks to the US's failure to pay its bills, many of the poorer nations see priority-setting as merely a cover for cost-cutting that would hit their health programs hard.
The WHO would not serve poorer countries any worse if it sharpened its focus . It would probably serve them better. In any case, a sharper focus should not mean that less money is needed, When the US demands cuts, it simply fuels disputes between the richer and poorer countries and gives the WHO' s senior management more time to postpone.
The American action is not confined to the WHO. It wants eventually to cut its contributions to the Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Labor Organization too But it knows that dissatisfaction with the WHO and its leadership has made the organization vulnerable. If it wins against the WHO, the rest will lose out in their turn.
America's share of the budget is already a concession. Each nations contribution to the LIN agencies is calculated according to its wealth, and by that measure the US should be paying about 28 per cent of the WHO budget. But over the past three decades the US has gradually reduced what it pays the organization . The US should. not task for further cuts, Until it pays its full share of money, it will hold back the organizations much needed reforms.
The world needs the WHO. The World Bank may have a bigger budget, but it sees improved health as just one part of economic and social development, The WHO remains the only organization committed to health for all, regardless of wealth.
How much of the WHO's budget should the United States pay in terms of its wealth？

听力原文： Alaska belonged to Russia until the United States purchased the territory just after the Civil War. Influences of the Russian period are to be seen in Southeast, Southwest, and Central Alaska today. You drive to quiet, peaceful communities on the Kenai Peninsula, or fly to Kodiak or Sitka, and step back into a simpler, less hurried time. Strolling through the grounds of a Russian Orthodox church is like stepping back into nineteenth-century Russia, but you' re still in the United States. "What an incredible buy", you realize. "Russia sold us this magnificent land for only two cents an acre".
Anchorage, the commercial hub and home for nearly half of the state's 400,000 residents, is one of the youngest major cities in the United States. Anchorage today is an 'air crossroads' to more than 1.5 million passengers who shuttle each year over the Pole between Europe and the Far East or who fly on direct flights to Alaska from the West Coast and Midwest cities. You don't know quite what to expect when your jet lands at Anchorage. The name sounds nautical, but driving into town you realize you've entered a familiar, modern city. Here, Alaskans have pushed a hole in the frontier and made an exciting urban oasis. Your surprise makes it all the more exciting.
Russian influence is obvious in Alaska in all of the regions named except which one？
According to the lecture, approximately how many residents are there in Anchorage？
