第1题

Strolling beside Amsterdam's oldest canals, where buildings carry dates like 1541 and 1603, it is easy to imagine the city's prosperity in the 17th century. Replace today's bicycles and cars with horse-drawn carts, add more barges on the waterways, and this is essentially how Amsterdam must have looked to Rembrandt as he did his rounds of wealthy merchants.

Such musings are not, of course, unprompted. This year, Amsterdam is celebrating the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt's birth, and it is hard to escape his shadow. His birthplace in Leiden, 20 miles south, has naturally organized its own festivities. But Amsterdam has two advantages: it boasts the world's largest Rembrandt collection—and tourists like to come here anyway.

True, anniversaries can be pretty corny, but what city resists them? This year, Amsterdam is competing with Salzburg, where Mozart was born 250 years ago, and Aix-en-Provence, where Cézanne died a century ago. A sign in Amsterdam's tourist office by the Central Station hints at one motive for such occasions: "Buy your Rembrandt products here."

Still, if you start off by liking Rembrandt, as I do, there is much to discover. For instance, when in Amsterdam I always make a point of paying homage to the Rembrandt masterpieces in the Rijksmuseum, yet until now I had never bothered to visit Rembrandt House, where the painter lived from 1639 until driven out by bankruptcy in 1658. In brief, had never much connected his art to his person.

Now, at least, I have made a stab at doing so because, for this anniversary (he was born on July 15, 1606), Amsterdam has organized a host of events that offer insights into Rembrandt's world. They highlight not only what is known about his life, but also the people he painted and the city he lived in from the age of 25 until his death at 63 in 1669.

Although the Rijksmuseum is undergoing a massive renovation through 2009, the museum is not snubbing its favorite son. Throughout the year, in part of the building to be renovated last, it is presenting some 400 paintings and other 17th-century objects representing the Golden Age in which Rembrandt prospered. These include works by Jan Steen, Vermeer and Frans Hals as well as by Rembrandt and his pupils. And they climax with Rembrandt's largest and best known oil, "The Night Watch," itself the focus of "Nightwatching," a light and sound installation by the British movie director and Amsterdam resident, Peter Greenaway.

第2题

There was, last week, a glimmer of hope in the world food crisis. Expecting a bumper harvest, Ukraine relaxed restrictions on exports. Overnight, global wheat prices fell by 10 percent.

By contrast, traders in Bangkok quote rice prices around $1,000 a ton, up from $460 two months ago.

Such is the volatility of today's markets. We do not know how high food prices might go, nor how far they could fall. But one thing is certain: We have gone from an era of plenty to one of scarcity.

Experts agree that food prices are not likely to return to the levels the world had grown accustomed to any time soon.

Imagine the situation of those living on less than $1 a day—the "bottom billion," the poorest of the world's poor. Most live in Africa, and many might typically spend two-thirds of their income on food.

In Liberia last week, I heard how people have stopped purchasing imported rice by the bag. Instead, they increasingly buy it by the cup, because that's all they can afford.

Traveling through West Africa, I found good reason for optimism. In Burkina Faso, I saw a government working to import drought resistant seeds and better manage scarce water supplies, helped by nations like Brazil. In Ivory Coast, we saw a women's cooperative running a chicken farm set up with UN funds. The project generated income—and food—for villagers in ways that can easily be replicated.

Elsewhere, I saw yet another women's group slowly expanding their local agricultural production, with UN help. Soon they will replace World Food Program rice with their own home-grown produce, sufficient to cover the needs of their school feeding program.

These are home-grown, grass-roots solutions for grass-roots problems—precisely the kind of solutions that Africa needs.

对于正在致力于文化建设与保护的中国来说，“一河一路”的申遗成功，只是又一个传承悠久文明、保护古老文化的新起点。

丝绸之路，是古代一条以丝绸贸易为主，通往西域的商路，是古代东方与西方政治、经济、思想和文化技艺交流的重要通道。在第38届世界遗产大会上，中国、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦三国联合对“丝绸之路：长安—天山廊道的路网”申报世界遗产，并获得了成功。跨国申遗，中国首次，不仅有助于推动不同文明对话、交流、合作，更能有效推动各地区、不同国家间的经济文化发展。这次申遗成功，对推动不同国家发展的意义更加明显，也为今后跨国管理、文物保护提出了更多要求。

从汉武帝派张骞出使西域开始，作为一条中国连通西方、走向世界的路，丝绸之路寓意着友好与交流。

作为连接东西方世界的第一条道路，“丝绸之路”不仅运输货物，还被赋予了精神认同性。通过“丝绸之路”，技术得到了传播，思想得到了交融，东西方第一次如此大范围进行交流，增进了彼此的友谊和理解。

参考答案：阿姆斯特丹古老的运河旁矗立着许多年代久远的老建筑，在这里(甚至)能看到1541年和1603年修建的建筑。沿着这些运河徜徉漫步，人们不禁会浮想：17世纪的阿姆斯特丹该是何等的繁华!当年伦勃朗在这里为富商巨贾作画，他眼中的阿姆斯特丹想必是马车熙攘，驳船如织，一派繁忙景象，而今天的阿姆斯特丹则是自行车和汽车的天下，河道水运已不复往昔。

当然，产生这种联想对比自有缘由。今年恰逢伦勃朗400周年诞辰纪念，阿姆斯特丹到处都有伦勃朗的“身影”。作为伦勃朗的出生地、位于阿姆斯特丹以南20英里的莱顿也举办了各种纪念活动。不过，阿姆斯特丹的纪念活动有两大优势：一是这里关于伦勃朗的收藏品是世界上最多的，二是阿姆斯特丹本身就是旅游胜地。

诚然，周年纪念活动难免落入俗套，但又有哪个城市能抵制住诱惑呢?今年除了阿姆斯特丹的伦勃朗周年纪念活动，还有萨尔斯堡的莫扎特250周年纪念活动以及艾克斯普罗旺斯的塞尚逝世百年祭活动。在中央车站附近的阿姆斯特丹旅游办公室里有一个贴士，曰：“可在此购买伦勃朗纪念品，”可以说为此类纪念活动一语道破天机。

不过，如果你同我一样是伦勃朗的拥趸者，那么，此时到访阿姆斯特丹还是很有意义的/也肯定不虚此行。比如，以前只要到阿姆斯特丹，我都会专程去国立博物馆欣赏伦勃朗的杰作，然而，我之前从没有想过要去参观伦勃朗故居。伦勃朗从1658年起开始在这里居住，一直到1658年因破产而不得不搬离此地。总之，此前我从没有将伦勃朗的艺术创作与其个人生活联系在一起。

伦勃朗出生于1606年7月15日，阿姆斯特丹为他举办的一系列诞辰纪念活动向人们展示了伦勃朗的个人世界，我也得以开始尝试了解这位艺术巨匠的私人生活。伦勃朗从25岁开始直到他63岁(1669年)去世一直生活在阿姆斯特丹。纪念活动不仅展示了早已为人所知的伦勃朗的个人生活，而且还突出展示了伦勃朗画作中相关人物的背景以及他生活过的这座城市的旧有风貌。

国立博物馆现正进行大修，要到2009年才能完工，不过伦勃朗作为该博物馆的宠儿并未受到冷落。该博物馆分段进行翻修，按计划暂不翻修的区域全年都将展示17世纪伦勃朗发迹的那个黄金时代的约400幅画作和其他代表作品，其中包括扬·斯滕、韦梅尔、弗朗斯·哈尔斯以及伦勃朗的名作，还有伦勃朗学生的一些画作。镇馆之宝当属伦勃朗的巨幅名作、油画《夜巡》。现居阿姆斯特丹的英国电影导演彼得·格林纳威的电影《夜巡》就是围绕伦勃朗的这幅名作而展开的。
