In principle, the unitary government system works best in countries that have both relatively few internal cultural differences and a strong sense of national unity. Therefore, states whose boundaries coincide closely with the boundaries of nations are more likely to consider a unitary system of government. In addition, because the unitary system requires effective communications with all regions of the country, smaller states fire more likely to adopt it. If the country is very large or has isolated regions, strong national control is difficult.
In reality, multinational states often have unitary systems so that the values of one nationality can be imposed on others. In a number of African and Asian countries, for instance, the mechanism of a unitary state has enabled one ethnic group to extend dominance over weaker groups. In some cases, a minority group is able to impose its values on the majority of the population. When communist parties controlled the government of Eastern European countries, for example, the unitary systems enabled the imposition of uniform. cultural values on otherwise multinational societies.
In a federal state, local governments possess more authority to adopt their own laws. Multinational states usually adopt a federal system of government in order to give power to different nationalities, especially if they live in separate regions of the country. Under a federal system, local government boundaries can be drawn that correspond to the regions inhabited by different nations. The federal system is also more suitable for very large states. The national capitals of very large states may be too remote to provide effective control over isolated regions.
In the late twentieth century, a strong global trend occurred in favor of the federal system of government. Most of the world's largest states were already federal, including the Soviet Union, Canada, the United States, Brazil, and India. During the late 1980s and 1990s, unitary systems have been sharply curtailed in a number of countries and scrapped altogether in others.
In the last paragraph, the word "scrapped" can be best replaced by ______.
A．scratched
B．reinforced
C．reduced
D．abandoned
第5题
听力原文： London in the 17th century was very attractive, like many European cities of the time. There was a beautiful cathedral, St. Paul's, and a magnificent Town Hall, the Guildhall. Also, there were many attractive churches and important buildings. There was one large bridge across the River Thames, and on the south side of the river there were one or two theatres, including Shakespeare's theatre, the Globe.
However, the majority of the half a million inhabitants of the city lived in small houses in narrow, dirty streets. There were no drains, so people threw their dirty water and rubbish onto the street. Because of this, there was a strong smell and there were many rats and flies. In 1665, there was a great plague in the city of London. At least 70,000 people died and many others left London and went into the country for several months. Then slowly the plague died away and people started to return from the country.
On September 2, 1666 at about three o'clock in the morning, a fire suddenly started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane. There was a strong wind and the fire spread quickly from one street to the next. The fire lasted for three days and destroyed 13,200 homes and 88 churches, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Guildhall and many other important buildings. This was the end of the old city of London.

Corryvale Farm
Corryvale Farm is in the west of England. Stephen and Jenny Blackler keep cows and chickens and sell milk and eggs. But most of their money comes from Jenny's sheep.
She has 50 sheep and each one has enough wool for six sweaters. Every six months, Stephen cuts this wool off the sheep so they won't get too warm. Five years ago, Jenny made some sweaters with the wool and tried to sell them at country markets. But it was summer and the weather was hot so people didn't want to buy sweaters. She then made some socks. Everybody loved them because they were cheap, strong and easy to wash.
That's how Jenny's business started. At first she made the socks at home, but soon she had thousands of customers so she bad to send the wool to a factory, where all the socks are now made on machines. There are six colours, five sizes for all ages, and different socks for walkers, sportsmen and skiers. Jenny is busiest at Christmas because Corryvale socks are a favourite present. On the walls of Jenny's office, there are lots of letters from happy customers all over the world.
Jenny only gets wool from her sheep once a year.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Doesn't say

About Turkey
Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey"s application to join the European Union， to be voted on by the EU"s Council of Ministers on December 17th， are economic—— in particular， the country"s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far offthat of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 （Latvia）， and it is much the same as those of two countries， Bulgaria and Romania， which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1 st 2007.
Furthermore， the country"s recent economic progress has been， according to Donald Johnston，the secretary-general of the OECD，"stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier， a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey"s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972， and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year， $10 billion economic programme that will， according to the IMF"s managing director， Rodrigo Rato，"help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels， and enhance the economy"s resilience".
Resilience has not historically been the country"s economic strong point. As recently as 2001， GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994， and by just under 5% in 1999. Indeed， throughout the 1990s growth oscillated like an electrocardiogram recording a violent heart attack. This irregularity has been one of the main reasons （along with red tape and corruption） why the country has failed dismally to attract much-needed foreign direct investment. Its stock of such investment （as a percentage of GDP） is lower now than it was in the 1980s， and annual inflows have scarcely ever reached $1 billion （whereas Ireland attracted over $25 billion in 2003， as did Brazil in every year from 1998 to 2000）.
One deterrent to foreign investors is due to disappear on January 1st 2005. On that day， Turkey will take away the right of virtually every one of its citizens to call themselves a millionaire. Six noughts will be removed from the face value of the lira; one unit of the local currency will henceforth be worth what lm are now， i. e.， about E0.53 （$0.70）. Goods will have to be priced in both the new and old lira for the whole of the year， but foreign bankers and investors can begin to look forward to a time in Turkey when they will no longer have to juggle mentally with indeterminate strings of zeros.
What is Turkey‘s economic situation now？ 查看材料
A.Its GDP per head is far lagging behind that of the EU members.
B.Its inflation rate is still rising.
C.Its economy grows faster than any EU member.
D.Its economic resilience is very strong.
