阅读材料，回答题。

Government Policies and Economy

While he was off on his l978 tour，Americans were becoming disgusted with their lot as all“emerging second—class nation”，Wilson says．They began to see that incentives had to be restored to the economy．For instance，the capital gains tax was cut，an extraordinary turn—about．If it had been predicted before he went away in May，he would have said it was simply inconceivable as inconceivable as the prospect of Resorts going up1，000 percent．

This momentous transformation in the U．S．should soon bring about a huge bull market． In the l940s and l950s，the last time price earning multiples were at these low levels，the investing public expected that there would be another great postwar depression．Instead，aRer the beginning of l953 it became apparent that there would not be one，and price-earnings multiples got so low this time that investors felt that the country was drifting into socialism．That drift，however，may be reversing direction．

Wilson believes that the bankruptcy of New York City means the discrediting of big government，that as a result there will be less government，and that things in general will go much better．From l980’s depressed levels the market could rise to twenty times doubled earnings or almost fivefold in five to seven years．Wilson believes that he’ll be worth hundreds of millions of dollars before it’s over．

From paragraph l，we can infer that Resorts is__________．查看材料

A.a company that involves many capital gains

B.a company that has little hope of rapid growth

C.a company that benefited from capital gains tax

D.a company that stimulates the economy

阅读材料，回答题： Cigars Instead？Smoking one or two cigars a day doubles the risk of canc

阅读材料，回答题：

Cigars Instead？

Smoking one or two cigars a day doubles the risk of cancers of the lip, tongue, mouth, and

throat, according to a government study.

Daily cigars also increase the risk of lung cancer and cancer of the esophagus, and increase the risk of cancer of the larynx (voice box) sixfold, say researchers at the National Cancer Institu- te in Bethesda, Maryland.

In addition, the report revealed that smoking three or four cigars a day increased the risk of oral cancer to 8.5 times the risk for nonsmokers and the risk of esophageal cancer by four times the risk of nonsmokers.

The health effects of smoking cigars is one of eight sections of the article "Cigars: Health Effects and Trends". The researchers report that, compared with a cigarette, a large cigar emits up to 90 times as much carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines.

"This article provides clear and invaluable information about the disturbing increase in cigar use and the significant public health consequences for the country," said Dr. Richard Klausner, director of the National Cancer Institute, in a statement.

"The data are clear--the harmful substances and carcinogens in cigar smoke, like ciga- rettes, are associated with the increased risks of several kinds of cancers as well as heart and lung diseases," he added. " In other words, cigars are not safe alternatives to cigarettes and may be addictive. "

"To those individuals who may be thinking about smoking cigars, our advice is don&39;t. To those currently smoking cigars, quitting is the only way to eliminate completely the cancer, heart and lung disease risks," warned Klausner.

According to a National Cancer Institute press release, there haven&39;t been any studies on the health effects on nonsmokers at cigar social events, but "... a significant body of evidence clearly demonstrates an increased lung cancer risk from secondhand smoke. "

According to the report， smoking three or four cigars a day 查看材料

A.increases the risk of oral cancer for non-smokers

B. greatly increases the risk of oral cancer for smokers

C.increases the risk of more than one cancer for non-smokers

D.greatly increases the risk of more than one cancer for smokers

阅读材料，回答题：

American Dreams

There is a common response to America among foreign writers:the US is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche(陈词滥调).

In the land of black and white, people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.______ .(46) No class system or government stands in the way.

Sadly, this old argument is no longer true. Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.

The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened.________ (47)

Over the past 25 years the median US family income has gone up 18 per cent. For the top 1 percent, however, it has gone up 200 per cent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth. ________ (48)

Inequalities have grown worse in different regions. In California, incomes for lower class families have fallen by 4 per cent since 1969. ________ (49) This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans. The wealthiest 1 per cent of households now control a third of the national wealth. There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12.7 percent of the population, it is the highest percentage in the developed world.

Yet the tax burden on America&39;s rich is falling, not growing. ________ (50) There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole. But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.

A．Nobody is poor in the US.

B．The top 0.01 per cent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage pointssince 1980.

C．For upper class families they have risen 41 per cent.

D．Now it is 9.8 times.

E．As it does so, the possibility to cross that gap gets smaller and smaller.

F．All one has to do is to work hard and climb the ladder towards the top.

阅读材料，回答题。

Deport them or not

In a country that defines itself by ideals，not by shared blood，who should be allowed to come，work and live here？In the wake of the Sept．1 1 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing．

On Dec．11，2001，as part of the effort to increase homeland security，federal and local authorities in 14 states staged“Operation Safe Travel”-raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明)．In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests．But those captured were anything but terrorists，most of them

illegal immigrants from Central or South America．Authorities said the undocumented workers’illegal status made them open to blackmail(讹诈)by terrorists．

Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods．

Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent，“We’re saying we want you to work in these places，we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are，and then when it’s convenient for us，or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security，especially after Sept．1 1，then you’re disposable．There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons，”Anderson said．

If Sept．1 1 had never happened．the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone oil quietly living in America．probably indefinitely．Ana Castr0，a manager at a Ben＆Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport，had been workin9 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid．Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境)．Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled．While she awaits the outcome，the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben&Jerry’s．

According to the author，the United States claims to be a nation__________．查看材料

A.composed of people having different values

B.encouraging individual pursuits

The New Technology Application

On a more mundane level, third-generation mobile telephones, despite all the delays and the billions squandered on 3G licenses by telecom firms, are still expected to offer consumers high-speed, always on mobile internet access, complete with video, in the next few years.Rapidly proliferating "WiFi" networks already offer wireless access on a local basis. Tiny tracking chips called radio-frequency identification devices are being used as pet passports.Soon they will be small, powerful and cheap enough to be implanted into everything form. humans to milkcartons recording and transmitting real-time medical data, or serving as a form. of inventory control.Sensors of every kind, including video cameras, should also become much smaller and cheaper.Forrester Research, a technology consultancy, predicts that 14 billion such devices will be connected to the internet by 2005.

How rapidly such new technology is introduced will depend on a number of factors the state of the economy, the supply of investment capital and the appetite of consumers for new products or services ! Fortunes will be made and lost many times over.But whatever happens, the power of computing and communications look set to continue to grow, and its price to fall, at a steady rate for the next few decades.That will make it possible, at least in rich countries, to record most human interactions, wherever and whenever they take place, and to store and analyze this ocean of data at low cost.

For the sake of argument, this survey will assume that we are heading towards a networked society of ubiquitous, mobile Communication capable of constant monitoring.Whether this arrives in 20,30 or 40 years does not really matter.The point is that the destination seems not merely possible, but probable, so it is not too

soon to ask: What do we want this technology to do？

The internet has already thrown up a host of legal and political conundrums, but, these are only a small foretaste of the dilemmas about privacy, security, intellectual property and the nature of government itself that will have to be faced over the coming decades.The debate has already begun. This survey will outline some of main issues, and speculate on the way they are likely to go.

根据以下材料，回答题Immigration and ProblemsHundreds of thousands of people supporting immi

根据以下材料，回答题

Immigration and Problems

Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled streets all over America in early 2006. Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens—not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures- including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countries.

Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400，000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005，according to the Canadian Government statistics. However， all this growth means that cities need to adapt. New comers don"t always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring （辅导） programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.

With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing no sign of abating （减少）， the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties （特赦） for illegals， and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back， the government has announced. About 23，000 migrants （移民） landed on the islands in2006， and riots have erupted in some crowded reception centers. This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.

France"s new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents" visas， valid for three years. But some people show the concern that it"ll cause brain drain in developing countries.

Many immigrants in the US took to the streets in early 2006， demanding that __________ . 查看材料

A.John McCain be removed

B.they be sent back home

C.they be treated as citizens

D.their culture be protected

根据材料，回答题。 The Development of American Postal SystemIn the early days of the United

根据材料，回答题。

The Development of American Postal System

In the early days of the United States， postal charges were paid by the recipient and chargesvaried with the distance carried. In 1825， the United States Congress permitted local postmastersto give letters to mail carriers for home delivery， but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters. In 1847， the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp，which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to pi"epay. Besides， the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address. In Philadelphia， for example， with a population of 150，000， people still had to go to the post office to get their mail. The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder that， during the years of these cumbersome arrangements， private letter-carrying and express businesses developed. Although their activities were only semi-legal， they thrived and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they Were half-day speedier than the government mail.

The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had. Finally， in 1863， Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary，and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. But this delivery service was at first confined to cities， and free home delivery became a sing of urbanization. In 1890， of the 75 million people in the United States， fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors. The rest; nearly three quarters of the population， still received no mail unless they went to their post OffiCe.

What is the main idea of the passage？查看材料

A.The development of a government postal system.

B.The increasing use of private mail services.

C.The history of postal stamps.

D.The comparison of urban and rural postal services.

根据以下材料，回答题。A Letter from Alan-I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred hous

根据以下材料，回答题。

A Letter from Alan-

I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson"s Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me， Parson"s Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax——the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It"s very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neigh bour hood.

I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work？ The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. There fore these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.

The roads will always be full of traffic， there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes，the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.

No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But，in my opinion， the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this， we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.

I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this. plan before it is too late.

Why has Alan written this letter？查看材料

A.To persuade the government to build new houses.

B.To protest about a new motorway near the town.

C.To encourage more people in the town to use Parson"s Place.

D.，To inform. other people about the builders" plans.

阅读材料，回答题。

Washington Irving was America’s first man of letters to beknown internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in Englandand in the United States. He was, in fact; one of the most successful writersof his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration offellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the UnitedStates. The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, withhis warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, hisartistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New. Thackeray describedIrving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, wasmost finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refinedEuropeans. " In England be was granted an honorary degree from Oxford anunusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation and he received themedal of the Royal Society of Literature. America made him ambassador to Spain.

Irving’s background provides little to explain his literaryachievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studiedlaw, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously.

根据以下材料，回答题A New Citizenship Test（1） Last week， a sample of the new US citizenship

根据以下材料，回答题

A New Citizenship Test

（1） Last week， a sample of the new US citizenship （公民身份） exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services （US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has， as the current test does， the new one asks why there are 13 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government， an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

（2） "The goal is to make it more meaningful." explains Emilio Gonzalez， director of the US-CIS.Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better "understanding and respect" for US civic（公民的） values， Gonzalez says.

（3） The US isn"t the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a "shared commitment" from immigrants for their adopted country"s "values". In recent years， in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status， several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March， a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude （裸体的） women bathing at beaches and gay （同性恋的） men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that "newcomers will be comfortable with the country"s liberal social mores （风俗） ".

（4） Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But， today， the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other. Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries， after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes （穆斯林聚居区） in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.

（5） Officials believe that a person"s attachment to， a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However， some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate （同化） themselves. "Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight？" says Ali Noorani， of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition （难民辩护联盟） .

Paragraph 2 __________ 查看材料

A.Preparation for taking a citizenship test

B.Citizenship tests in European countries

C.Importance of promoting integration

D.Necessity to know the branches of government

E.Different views on the new citizenship test

F.Goal of the new citizenship test
