新东方分析：

按照新东方上课所讲做题步骤，首先，抓住主题，通过首段和每段首句找出出现多次的School，并符号化为大写S. 因为主题词很可能在20个空格中再次出现，本次考试共出现了两次。第二步，应标出相邻很近两个空格的前一个。

在近期的新东方口译考前模考讲评及冲刺串讲中，我将考试历年听写题的三个速记必考点（开头法、去元音法和两词合成）和历年出现的“黄金高频词”为大家作了总结（其中在本次考试出现的已用红字标出）。这次考试它们的再次出现是一种必然。希望参加下次考试的考生能将以上考点和高频词的记法烂熟于胸。

9.13高级口译听力考试Talk Q16-Q20

Opinion polls have shown that Americans view the widespread use of illegal drugs as the No.1 problem in the United States. Every year, the United States spends 15 billion dollars on its war on drugs, mostly on the cost of law enforcement and prohibition. Most illegal drugs are expensive. Black market prices for heroin and cocaine, for example, are estimated to be 100 times greater than the cost of production. With such prices, drug pushers can earn billions of dollars each year by pushing their wares in even the poorest neighborhoods. Most people agree that the so-called drug war is far from being won in the United States. They find some solution to the drug problem. One repeated proposal is to fight the problem by making drugs legal. This proposal has in fact been the cause of a lengthy and unresolved debate. Ever since the 1970s the Americans have argued whether taking the extreme measure of legalizing drugs would in fact decrease drug use. People who support this proposal believe that the current policies of prosecution and punishment are a waste of money. They feel that more money should be spent on education and treatment, arguing that the black market drives the prices of drugs too high, providing an incentive to get into the drug business. They point to the gangsters of the 1920s and the 1930s who disappeared with the end of prohibition of alcohol and America. As it is now, they say, anyone who is caught using drugs is treated as criminal not as an addict who needs help. This proposal for legalization has been supported by a variety of leaders from the most conservative to the most liberal, from Secretary of the State to

federal district judges who advocated the sale of drugs as prices resembling their costs. The proposal to legalize drugs has not being accepted easily by all Americans, however. In fact, it has taken a lot of flag over the years. Those who oppose the legalization of drugs feel that decriminalizing drugs would be a surrender in a drug war that has not really even begun. For them, the solution is not to decriminalize drug crime but to make law more severe. They point out that legalization would lead to greater drug use, explaining that with drugs such as crack being so common in our cities. There would be an increase in cases of violent crime and child abuse and an even greater spreader of AIDS. Opponents of legalization also point to China. When opium was made legal there in the mid-19th century, the selling of opium increased and funded the drug trade rather than spoiled it down.

Those who were opposed the legalization also raised an important question such as which drugs would be legalized with the black market really disappear with the legalization of drugs? So is it time to recognize that the current war on drugs is not working and accept that the legalization maybe the only solution? Every few years voters are asked to cast their votes for politicians who claimed to have answers to this question. But as of yet, Americans have not chosen legalization as a solution to their country's drug problems.
