22、在答题卡1上作答。 Why would an animal kill itself? It seems a strange question, and yet it is one that has 26 some people for a long time. The lemming (旅鼠) is one such animal. Lemmings periodically commit mass 27, and no one knows just why! The small 28, which inhabit the Scandinavian mountains, sustain the
23、mselves on a diet of roots and live in nests they make underground. When their food supply is 29 large, the lemmings live a normal, undisturbed life. However, when the lemmings food supply becomes too low to support the population, a singular30 commences. The lemmings leave their nests all together
24、at the same time, forming huge crowds. Great numbers of the lemmings begin a long and hard journey across the Scandinavian plains, z journey that may last weeks. The lemmings eat everything in their path, continuing their 31 march until they reach the sea. The reason for what follows remains a myste
25、ry for zoologists and naturalists. Upon reaching the coast, the lemmings do not stop but swim by the thousands into the surf. Most 32 only a short time before they tire, sink, and drown. A common theory for this unusual phenomenon is that the lemmings do not realize that the ocean is such 33 water.
26、In their cross-country journey, the animals must traverse many smaller bodies of water, such as rivers and small lakes. They may 34 that the sea is just another such swimmable35. But no final answer has been found to the mystery.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this
27、 section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corres
28、ponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. That which does not kill us makes us stronger. But parents cant handle it when teenagers put this 3
29、6 into practice. Now technology has become the new field for the age-old battle between adultsen adults and their freedom-seeking kids. Locked indoors, unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends, teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to socialize with their p
30、eers. What they do online often 37what they might otherwise do if their mobility werent so heavily .38 in the age of helicopter parenting. Social media and smart-phone apps have become so popular in recent years because teens need a place to call their own. They want the freedom to 39 their identity
31、 and the world around them.Instead of 40 out, they jump online. As teens have moved online, parents have projected their fears onto the Internet, imagining all the41 dangers that youth might face-from 42 strangers to cruel peers to pictures or words that could haunt them on Google for the rest of th
32、eir lives. Rather than helping teens develop strategies for negotiating public life and the risks of 43 with others, fearful parents have focused on tracking, monitoring and blocking. These tactics (策略) dont help teens develop the skills they need to manage complex social situations,44 risks and get

Protecting kids may feel like the right thing to do, but it 45 the learning that teens need to do as they come of age in a technology-soaked world.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。A. assess B.constrained C.contains D.explore E.influence F.interacting G.interpretation H.magnified I. mir
34、rors J.philosophy K.potential L.sneakingM.sticking N. underminesO. violent Section B Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information
35、is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Inequality Is Not Inevitable A) A dangerous trend has developed over this past third of a century. A country that experienced sha
36、red growth after World War began to tear apart, so much so that when the Great Recession hit in late 2007, one could no longer ignore the division that had come to define the American economic landscape. How did this shining city on a hill become the advanced country with the greatest level of inequ
37、ality? B) Over the past year and a half, The Great Divide, a series in The New York Times, has presented a wide range of examples that undermine the notion that there are any truly fundamental laws of capitalism. The dynamics of the imperial capitalism of the 19th century neednt apply in the democra
38、cies of the 21st. We dont need to have this much inequality in America. C) Our current brand of capitalism is a fake capitalism. For proof of this go back to our response to the Great Recession, where we socialized losses, even as we privatized gains. Perfect competition should drive profits to zero
39、, at least theoretically, but we have monopolies making persistently high profits. C. E. O. s enjoy incomes that are on average 295 times that of the typical worker, amuch higher ratio han in the past, without any evidence of a proportionate increase in productivity.D)If it is not the cruel laws of
40、economics that have led to Americas great divide, what is it? The straightforward answer., our policies and our politics. People get tired of hearing about Scandinavian success stories, but the fact of the matter is that Sweden, Finland and Norway have all succeeded in having about as much or faster
41、 growth in per capita (人均的 ) incomes than the United States and with far greater equality.E) So why has America chosen these inequality-enhancing policies? Part of the answer is that as World War faded into memory, so too did the solidarity it had created. As America triumphed in the Cold War, there
42、 didnt seem to be a real competitor to our economic model. Without this internat competition, we no longer had to show that our system could deliver for most of our citizens.F) Ideology and interests combined viciously. Some drew the wrong lesson from the collapse of the Soviet system in 1991. The p
43、endulum swung from much too much government there to much too little here. Corporate interests argued for getting rid of regulations, even when those regulations had done so much to protect and improve our environment, our safety, our health and the economy itself.G) But this ideology was hypocritic
44、al (虚伪的). The bankers, among the strongest advocates of laissez- faire (自由放任的 ) economics, were only too willing to accept hundreds of billions of dollars from the government in the aid programs that have been a recurring feature of the global economy since the beginning of the Thatcher-Reagan era o
45、f free markets and deregulation.H) The American political system is overrun by money. Economic inequality translates into political inequality, and political inequality yields increasing economic inequality. So corporate welfare increases as we reduce welfare for the poor. Congress maintains subsidies for rich farmers as we cut back on nutritional support for the needy. Drug companies have been given hundreds of billions of dollars as we limit Medicaid benefits. The banks that brought on the global financial crisis got billions while a tiny bit went to the homeowners and victims of the sam
