I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path (25)______ wasn’t covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I (26)______(strike) four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped (27)______(attack) me. I found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly! Having stopped laughing, I stepped back (28)______(look) the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments (29)______(early). He had a mate and she was dying. Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, (30)______ ______ I was careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than (31)______(reward) him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed. Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly (32)______ I see huge barriers facing me. (B) You’ve probably seen athletes who take their own successes too seriously. They celebrate a goal with a very long victory dance or continually talk big about their abilities. This is the exact opposite of (33)______ sportsmanship is all about. Everyone feels great when they win, but it can be just as hard to be a good sport (有运动 家品格的人) when you have won a game as when you have lost one. Sportsmanship takes courage — when you work really hard at a sport, it’s not easy (34)______(admit) you made a bad play or someone has more skills than you. In competition — as in life — you may not always win but you can learn (35)______ from losing, too. It’s pretty tough to lose, so it is definitely annoying if someone continues making fun of you or your team (36)______ the competition is over. Sometimes it’s hard to swallow your pride and walk on. But there’s always the next match. When you do lose—and it will happen—lose with class (风度). (37)______(be) proud of how you performed, or at least realizing things you need to improve for next time, is the key. When it comes to losing, sportsmanship means congratulating the winners willingly. Also, it means accepting the game result without complaint and without excuses, (38)______ ______ you sometimes might doubt the referees (裁判员) made some questionable calls. When you win, the good way is to be a polite and generous winner. Sportsmanship means admitting victories (39)______ putting your opponents to shame and letting victories speak for themselves, that is, being quietly proud of success. Despite the fact (40)______ you have a massive win, sportsmanship means still finding ways to praise your opponents. 4 / 12 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. challenged B. functions C. solved D. deserves E. mirrors F. practical G. further H. urge I. presence J. opposing K. survival ―In wilderness is the preservation of the world.‖ This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed 41 a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved. As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The 42 to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation brings to such landscapes is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform 43 that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the 44 view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But 5 , or indeed commercial and that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human 4 industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for 46 . While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no 47 reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others. I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being 48 by the other participants. One opinion is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a 49 question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm. This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously 50 much more serious thinking. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the 51 roles of producer or ―provider‖ and 5 / 12 purchaser or ―consumer‖ in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 52 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, 53 , is not common in most of the health-care industry. In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the 54 relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant 55 decisions: whether the patient should return ―next Wednesday,‖ whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will 56 such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 57 . This is particularly 58 in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the 59 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are 60 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real ―consumer.‖ As a consequence, the 61 represents the ―power center‖ in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration. Although usually there are in this situation four recognizable participants — the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) — the physician makes the 62 for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 63 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a 64 role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 65 are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective. 51. A. peculiar B. normal C. minor D. vital 52. A. eager B. potential C. overseas D. reluctant 53. A. moreover B. therefore C. however D. instead 54. A. ordinary B. permanent C. stable D. intense 55. A. difficult B. conscious C. early D. purchasing 56. A. accept B. confirm C. challenge D. announce 57. A. common B. serious C. mild D. preventable 58. A. significant B. rare C. changeable D. alternative 59. A. choice B. need C. disadvantage D. importance 60. A. balanced B. accurate C. independent D. final 61. A. patient B. medical staff C. government D. insurance agent 62. A. academic B. typical C. unique D. essential 63. A. reduces B. sends C. loses D. meets 64. A. traditional B. clear C. passive D. dominant 65. A. spending B. schedule C. therapy D. requirement 6 / 12 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere (干涉) with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain. 66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________. A. for recreation B. to limit the fox population C. in the interests of the farmers D. to show off their wealth 67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain? A. It involves the use of a deadly poison. B. It is a costly event that rarely occurs. C. The hunters have set rules to follow. D. The hunters have to go through strict training. 7 / 12 68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________. A. by leaning upon violence B. by taking legal action C. by confusing the fox hunters D. by demonstrating on the scene 69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________. A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes B. forbid hunting foxes with dogs C. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D. prevent large-scale fox hunting (B) Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins. People in California love to talk about ―zero-emissions (零排放的) vehicles,‖ but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something — usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. In other words, those ―zero-emissions‖ cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just that the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the California Greens (加州 绿党) are covering their eyes — ―If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.‖ Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat — at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc. A gallon of gas may power your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far — so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources. In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot. 8 / 12 70. Which of the following words can replace ―be clueless about‖ in paragraph 2? A. Be familiar with. B. Be curious about. C. Show their interest in. D. Fail to understand. 71. What can we learn about the California Green from the idea ―If I can’t see it, it’s not happening‖? A. They do not know those clean cars are likely coal-burning cars. B. They do believe the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. C. They tend to hold that electricity is a nice part of energy. D. They tend to maintain that gasoline is a good way to run a vehicle. 72. According to the passage, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more _______. A. environmentally-friendly B. expensive C. harmful D. efficient 73. We can get the conclusion from the passage that _______. A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication B. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment D. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins (C) For the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts (地位相当的人) to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain. Traditional economics takes an optimistic line on integration (整合) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital. If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment (组合投资), it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to push 9 / 12 incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive. This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain. 74. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization? A. They can get more chances to gain a good job. B. They can get more financial aid. C. They have nothing to lose. D. They have less to lose and more to gain. 75. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource? A. It will top up domestic savings. B. It will loosen the financial restriction. C. It will push people’s incomes up. D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad. 76. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade. B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries’ expense. C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones. D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit. 77. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage? A. Benefited or Hurt B. Who Benefits the Most C. Helping the Poor D. The Inflow of Resources Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. 10 / 12 By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction. In just a few years, 34 percent of American universities have begun offering some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s close to 90 percent. If you doubt the popularity of the trend, you probably haven’t heard of the University of Phoenix. It grants degrees entirely on the basis of online instruction. It enrolls 90,000 students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the country. While the kinds of instruction offered in these programs will differ, DL usually indicates a course in which the instructors post syllabi (课程大纲), reading assignment, and schedules on websites, and students send in their assignments by e-mail. Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether. The attraction for students might at first seem obvious. Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do the work, as they say, in your pajamas. But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced enthusiasm to the course. While dropout rate for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses internal in the setup. In a survey conducted for Cornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course. Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t come to campus, the more school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots. And, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.) 78. The author mentioned the University of Phoenix to make us believe that _____________. 79. According to the second paragraph, if you apply for a DL course, you will have little chance to _______________. 80. What are the two negative effects the convenience of DL brings about? 81. Universities show great passion for DL programs for the purpose of _________________. 11 / 12 第II卷 (共47分) I.

M: Much the same as the last. 15 / 12 Q: What does Tom mean? 8. W: Is that maths course really as hard as everybody says? M: Worse, believe it or not. Q: What does the man imply? 9. M: Let’s ask Mike to introduce the musicians to the audience at the beginning of the concert. W: Ask Mike? He’ll be playing the violin himself. Q: What does the woman mean? 10. W: Hey! Your exam is over, isn’t it? Why aren’t you cheerful? M: Oh, I don’t know. It isn’t that the questions were too hard, but I always feel uneasy when the exam doesn’t seem to have much to do with the book. Q: What does the man think of the exam? Section B Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Mrs. Taylor was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast and boasted of the fact that she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished for a driving offence. Then one day she nearly lost her record. A police car followed her, and the policemen in it saw her pass a red light without stopping. When Mrs. Taylor came before the judge, he looked at her severely and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it. When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs. Taylor opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt. When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, ―Now, it’s your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that you have no doubts about your eyesight.‖ The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After half a dozen attempts, he had still not succeeded. The case against Mrs. Taylor was dismissed and her record remained unbroken. (Listen again, please.) Questions: 11. What did Mrs. Taylor often boast? 12. According to the judge, why didn’t Mrs. Taylor stop at the red light? 16 / 12 13. How did Mrs. Taylor prove that the judge was wrong? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. By the end of the term I hope you’ll be convinced that formal writing always requires revision. Sometimes it requires a fairly major rewriting of the paper. Some students may have the mistaken idea that revision means simply making corrections in spelling and grammar. I call that proof-reading. What I expect you to do as you revise is to value and improve the overall effectiveness of your paper. But how can you tell if your paper is effective? Well, for example, start by asking yourself these questions: Is the topic restricted enough to be fully discussed within the given links? Are the main ideas clear? Are they supported by the specific details in the examples? Do they move smoothly from one idea to the next? You’ll need enough time for a possible major repair, that is, you may have to make a lot of changes before your paper becomes really clear to the reader. So I’ll expect a draft of each paper two weeks before the final due date. That way I can criticize it and get it back in time for you to revise it. Then you can turn in a final draft for grading. This process may seem like a great deal of trouble at first but I think you will find it valuable. In fact after you finish this course I doubt that you will ever turn in a term paper without first revising it carefully. (Listen again, please.) Questions: 14. What should the students’ aim be when they revise their work? 15. When should the first draft be turned in? 16. What is the purpose of the talk? Section C Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don’t you, David? It’s interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children’s stories? M: Some of these books aren’t so old, Jenny. See? This mystery was published only six years ago. It costs 75 cents. You can’t beat that! W: Hey! Look at this! thM: What? Are you getting interested in 19 century poetry all of a sudden? W: No. Look! Someone gave this book as a present and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It’s dated 1893. Maybe it’s worth something. M: Everything on that shelf is worth 50 cents. W: But if this is a signature of someone who is well known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare’s signature is worth about a million dollars. M: Oh, I can hardly read what that one says. Who wrote it? W: The name looks like Harold Dobson. Wasn’t he a politician or something? I’m going to buy 17 / 12 this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library. M: Good luck! Your poetry book may make you rich, but I’ll bet my 75-cent mystery is a better buy. (Listen again, please.) Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. M: Hello, I’m carrying out some market research of Beauty Fitness Club. Would you be able to spare a few minutes to answer a few questions? W: Sure, as long as it doesn’t take more than 5 minutes. M: OK, first of all, may I have your membership number, please? W: Urm…It’s PTF78196. M: So that’s PTF78196. OK, your occupation? W: I’m an accountant in an oil company. M: OK, now I’d like to ask you some questions relating to the club. What do you think of our classes? W: Urm, I really enjoy them. I attend rock climbing and yoga. M: If the scale is one to five. Five is the best. How would you rate your instructors? W: Oh, I would say… the top score, definitely. They’re extremely professional and supportive. M: Do you have any suggestions for the improvement? W: Well, the only thing I would say is the evening class. Yoga, I mean, can get very busy. Maybe the club could think about running another class in the evening. M: Well, thanks. We take the view of our customers very seriously and I’m sure you’ll see some exciting improvement in the near future. (Listen again, please.) 听力考试结束，请考生继续答题。 18 / 12 附加公文一篇，不需要的朋友可以下载后编辑删除，谢谢(关于进一步加快精准扶贫工作意)为认真贯彻落实省委、市委扶贫工作文件精神，根据《关于扎实推进扶贫攻坚工作的实施意见》和《关于进一步加快精准扶贫工作的意见》文件精神，结合我乡实际情况，经乡党委、 政府研究确定，特提出如下意见: 一、工作目标 总体目标:“立下愚公志，打好攻坚战”，从今年起决战三年，实现全乡基本消除农村绝对贫困现象，实现有劳动能力的扶贫对象全面脱贫、无劳动能力的扶贫对象全面保障，不让一个贫困群众在全面建成小康社会进程中掉队。 总体要求:贫困村农村居民人均可支配收入年均增幅高于全县平均水平5个百分点以上，遏制收入差距扩大趋势和贫困代际传递;贫困村基本公共服务主要指标接近全县平均水平;实现扶贫对象“两不愁三保障”(即:不愁吃、不愁穿，保障其义务教育、基本医疗和住房)。 年度任务:2015,2017年全乡共减少农村贫困人口844人，贫困发生率降至3%以下。 二、精准识别 19 / 12 (一)核准对象。对已经建档立卡的贫困户，以收入为依据再一次进行核实，逐村逐户摸底排查和精确复核，核实后的名单要进行张榜公示，对不符合政策条件的坚决予以排除，确保扶贫对象的真实性、精准度。建立精准识别责任承诺制，上报立卡的贫困户登记表必须经村小组长、挂组村干部、挂点乡干部、乡领导签字确认，并作出承诺，如扶贫对象不符合政策条件愿承担行政和法律责任，确保贫困户识别精准。 (二)分类扶持。通过精准识别建档立卡的贫困户分为黄卡户、红卡户和蓝卡户三类，第一类为黄卡户，是指有劳动能力，家庭经济收入在贫困线边缘的贫困户;第二类为红卡户，是指有一定的劳动能力，家庭贫困程度比较深的贫困户;第三类为蓝卡户，是指年老体弱或因病因残丧失劳动能力的贫困户和五保户。优先扶持黄卡户，集中攻坚扶持红卡户脱贫，对蓝卡户则通过保障扶贫来保障其基本生活。 (三)挂图作业。根据贫困户的实际情况，分三年制定脱贫规划。乡里将根据各村情况对每年精准脱贫任务落实到户到人，建立台账，并用图表标注清楚，挂图作业，脱贫一户销号一户，做到“贫困在库，脱贫出库”。 三、精准施策 针对贫困村和建档立卡贫困户的实际情况，分清类别，分类施策，强化措施，扎实推进各项扶贫政策落实到实处。在抓好贫困村公共设施和服务方面的建设同时要抓好对贫困户的帮扶，做到精准施策。 20 / 12 (一)推进基础设施扶贫 1(对“十三五”扶持贫困村25户以上的所有自然村，由规划所牵头负责进行村庄建设规划。 2(重点解决“最后一公里”的问题。着力解决贫困群众最需要、最期盼的交通、电力、水利、就医就学等方面“最后一公里”的问题，让贫困群众享受均等的基本公共服务。到2015年完成2个贫困村25户以上自然村水泥路建设，确保到2016年底新一轮贫困村中25户以上自然村全部通水泥路;在调查摸底和充分征求意见的基础上，确保到2016底全面完成农村贫困户土坯房和危旧住房的改造任务;灌溉渠系建设和小山塘除险加固改造主要倾向贫困村，提高灌溉能力，到2017底基本解决贫困村农村居民饮水安全和生产用水困难问题;每年安排贫困村至少一个“一事一议”项目，以帮助解决路、桥、水等问题。 (二)推进产业扶贫 1(培育壮大特色富民产业。大力发展高产油茶、白莲、等特色种植业和特色养殖业，鼓励支持贫困户依据当地资源禀赋发展“一村一品”富民特色产业。为贫困户发展种养业优先立项和优先提供苗木和种苗。每年通过产业扶持贫困户50户以上，到2020年有劳动能力的贫困户每户都有一个长效增收的主业。 乡财政筹集资金，重点打造空坑——XX扶贫产业带，带动全乡贫困群众发展扶贫产业。 21 / 12 2(筹集精准扶贫到户资金。县乡筹集精准帮扶到户资金，对贫困户发展产业给予奖补，或提供小额贷款担保、贴息、补助农业保险，以及提供信息、技术、服务等。县财政每年从产业扶贫资金中，切出一半以上用于精准扶贫到户，发展了扶贫产业的贫困户，经验收合格后每户获得一次性扶持资金5000元，按规划分批实施，5年内全覆盖;另外切除部分资金，用于贫困户精准扶贫发展产业贷款贴息。 3(积极探索“四位一体”的产业扶贫新模式。指导贫困村选择一个适合当地发展的高效产业;组建一个支撑有力的合作组织;设立一个产业贷款风险补偿金，为条件成熟的贫困村安排20万元产业扶贫专项资金，作为贫困户产业发展贷款风险补偿金，由合作商业银行按1:8放贷;创建一个部门配合的帮扶机制，县委农工部、县农业局、县林业局、县蔬菜局等相关部门在贫困村产业选择、合作社组建、技术推广、市场开发等方面会给予大力支持，共同推进。 4(创新产业发展服务体系。鼓励贫困农户以土(林)地经营权作价入股方式，参与家庭农场、农民专业合作社、合作农场和联户经营等新型农业经营体系。对贫困户创办的家庭农场和有贫困户参与的合作社，县财政将重点给予资金扶持。广泛推行“千村万户老乡工程”，力争2,3年覆盖黄卡、红卡贫困户，带动贫困户增收致富。 (三)推进搬迁扶贫 ,(正确引导。对地处边远、生存和发展条件较差、就地扶贫难以奏效的贫困户，坚持群众自愿、规模适度、梯度安置的原则，稳步 22 / 12 推进贫困人口向县城工业园、县城次中心、中心圩镇或中心村有序搬迁转移。 2(整合资源。积极整合资源支持搬迁移民集中安置点的基础设施建设，完善搬迁移民集中安置点的道路、通水、通电、学校、幼儿园、卫生所、文化等公共设施。

,(完善临时救助制度。对遭遇突发事件、意外伤害、重大疾病等特殊原因导致基本生活困难，其他社会救助制度暂时无法覆盖或救助之后基本生活暂时仍有严重困难的家庭或个人给予临时救助，帮助他们渡过难关。 (七)推进社会扶贫 县工业园管委会将牵头联合县工信委、县扶贫和移民办在企业界开展主题为“全民扶贫，邀您同行”结对帮扶活动，积极组织工业企业自愿参与到贫困村开展结对帮扶活动。激励和引导“爱心协会”等社会力量参与扶贫，争取社会各界参与结对帮扶等扶贫攻坚工作。 四、精准帮扶 25 / 12 进一步完善精准扶贫机制，搭好精准扶贫的平台，实现扶贫方式由过去大水“漫灌式”向精准“滴灌式”转变，真正扶到点上、扶到根上。突出抓好“七个到村到户”: (一)产业到村到户。每个贫困村都要根据当地的资源禀赋围绕富民产业，选择一个符合当地实际的特色产业，引导贫困户通过参与产业发展，实现增收致富。 (二)项目到村到户。根据建档立卡贫困户的实际情况，有针对性地选择脱贫项目，找准脱贫路子，做到能种则种，能养则养，能外出务工则外出务工。贫困村要根据当地产业特色，成立农民专业合作社，为贫困户发展产业提供服务。 (三)柚苗到村到户。县委农工部将安排专项资金、县农业局负责购买调运柚苗，给每户贫困户免费发放20株以上柚苗，扶持贫困户种好“摇钱树”。 (四)资金到村到户。对建档立卡的贫困户逐户制定发展目标、落实脱贫项目和帮扶资金，做到专项扶贫与行业扶贫、社会扶贫并举，专项扶贫资金要全部落实到贫困村、贫困户，行业扶贫资金、涉农部门项目资金要向贫困村、贫困户倾斜，与扶贫资金捆绑使用，实现贫困户精准扶贫全覆盖。 (五)干部帮扶到村到户。进一步加大干部挂点帮扶贫困村和结对帮扶贫困户工作力度。实施“四个一”组合式扶贫:每个贫困村都安排有一个以上县领导、一个以上县直单位、一个以上工业企业和一 26 / 12 笔专项扶贫资金，实行挂点帮扶。要按照“交朋友、摸实情、找路子、扶资金、促增收”的思路，继续推行科级以上领导干部“1+2”结对帮扶工作，即每位副科级以上领导干部每年扶助3户黄卡、红卡贫困户，按“一户一策”发展一项扶贫产业，增加贫困户家庭经济“造血功能”，所帮扶的贫困户每户每年增收要达到2000元以上。通过三年扶贫攻坚，使全乡所有黄卡户、红卡户真正脱贫，对蓝卡户进行最低生活保障。 (六)跟踪管理到村到户。加强扶贫信息监测工作，及时更新扶贫对象统计监测系统的数据信息，每年都要对贫困村、贫困户的收入变动状况、干部帮扶、项目帮扶、资金帮扶、扶贫项目实施等情况进行全面调查统计，并及时录入全国扶贫对象统计监测系统。按照“贫困在库，脱贫出库”的原则，对已经脱贫的贫困户及时销号，对有特殊情况返贫的登记入库，做到贫困户有进有出。对扶贫项目的安排及实施、扶贫资金使用、贫困户得到扶持等情况，定期在村务公开栏内进行公示，接受群众监督。 (七)土坯房改造到村到户。凡居住在危旧房或土坯房的建档立卡贫困户，三年内必须全面实施危旧房、土坯房改造，严格按照省定危旧房、土坯房改造补助标准补贴到户。 五、保障措施 (一)落实工作责任。乡党委、政府和各村党支部、村委会是实现扶贫攻坚的责任主体，各村要结合当地实际，制定具体的可操作性的 27 / 12 实施意见，落实扶贫攻坚任务和措施。乡党委、政府的主要领导是扶贫攻坚的第一责任人，乡党政班子成员、各村书记主任是扶贫攻坚的具体责任人。各村要广泛宣传扶贫攻坚的方针政策和上级党委、政府消除农村绝对贫困的决心和措施。 (二)加强队伍建设。乡组建扶贫工作站，由分管领导担任站长，同时安排4名有工作经验的干部集中办公，切实解决基层扶贫工作有人办事、有钱办事的问题。 (三)夯实基层组织。加强村级基层组织建设，选好配强贫困村的领导班子，尤其要选好村党支部书记，发挥好基层党组织的战斗堡垒和党员干部的先锋模范作用。着力解决贫困村“无址办事”和“无钱办事”的问题，2015年实现贫困村村级组织都有活动场所的目标;大力发展村级集体经济，到2018年底贫困村全面消除“空壳村”。 (四)加大扶贫专项资金监管力度。严格把握扶贫资金的使用范围，本着“渠道不乱、用途不变、归口管理”的原则，实行扶贫资金专款、专帐、专人管理、封闭运行。确保资金跟着项目走。凡涉及扶贫和移民资金的项目，一要严格按规定采取相应招投标形式，确定建设队伍;二要将所有与扶贫资金有关的施工合同必须列入廉政承诺条款;三要项目业主和建设单位必须签订廉政责任状。 (五)严格考核奖惩。一是将扶贫攻坚工作纳入年度综合考评和村书记、主任个人年度考核及述职的重要内容;二加强工作督查，每个月对各乡村的扶贫攻坚工作进行一次督查。督查结果一要作为扶贫 28 / 12 攻坚工作考核依据;二要与评先评优相结合。对在精准扶贫工作中有实招、干实事、见实效的给予通报表扬;对工作不力、进展缓慢的给予通报批评，并要求限期整改。 29 / 12
