To be more specific, the recent devaluation of the Philippine and Thai currencies, and the subsequent pressure on the Malaysian currency has inspired Dr. Mahathir to launch an all-out attack on the West as the source of the problem. He even alleges that the United States has deliberately destabilized Southeast Asian economies in revenge for these nations, pandering to the military rule in Myanmar, an action which the United States seems to want censored rather than rewarded. But by resorting to such scapegoat, instead of accepting even a bit responsibility, the Prime Minister.may undermine the future success of the region and Malaysia in particular.
Upon further questioning, Dr. Mahathir narrowed his attack to one wealthy individual, the well known philanthropist, Mr. George Soros, whose opposition to Myanmar's admission to ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)Mahathir found particularly galling. The logical fallacies that underlie such conspiracy theories do not help Malaysia address the serious issues of economic overheating that experts have been warning about for all these difficult periods, which include large deficits and low savings to debt ratios. In fact, the recent dramatic drop in Malaysia's stock market and currency has led Dr. Mahathir to reverse his initial approach to the crisis. He even announces measures that at least imply he is quite aware of excesses in his own administration's spending policies that have contributed to this crisis of confidence. In the end, this kind of reaction undermines the esteem that Dr. Mahathir's enlightened leadership has justly earned.
It is implied in the first paragraph that Dr. Mahathir ______.

听力原文： Wilt Chamberlain is retired now, but he used to be a famous basketball player. He has set 65 different records and still holds many of them. During the final years of his career, he drew a large salary and became very wealthy. He even built himself a $1.5 million house. In spite of his personal success, he led his team to only one championship. His teams often won enough games to qualify for the final rounds, but they almost always lost in the finals.

The next night, with his many falls watching in amazement, he not only played the entire game but he was outstanding. His team won the game and the championship. Wilt had his wish -- To be a winner one last time.
Why is Wilt Chamberlain considered a famous basketball player？
Part A
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.
A granted patent is the result of a bargain struck between an inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly and publishes full details of his invention to the public after the period terminates.
Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the life-span of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events.
The longest extension ever granted was to George Valensi. His 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most of the patent's normal life there was no hope of reward for' the invention.
Because a patent remains permanently public after it has terminated, the shelves of the library attached to the patent office contain details of literally millions of ideas that are free for anyone to use and, if older than half a century, sometimes even re-patent. Indeed, patent experts often advise anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a search through live patents that the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventor's right is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form. permanently invalidates further patents on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much modern technological advance is based on these presumptions of legal security.
Anyone closely involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most "new" ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice, either through necessity or dedication, or through the availability of new technology, that makes news and money. The basic patent for the theory of magnetic recording dates back to 1886. Many of the original ideas behind television originate from the late 18th and early 20th century. Even the Volkswagen rear engine car was anticipated by a 1904 patent for a cart with the horse at the rear.
The passage is mainly about ______.
