Passage Two

What's hot for 2007 among the very rich? A ＄ 7.3 million diamond ring.

A trip to Tanzania to hunt wild animals. Oh, and income inequality,

Sure, some leftish billionaires like George Soros have been railing against income inequality for years. But increasingly, centrist and right-wing billionaires are starting to worry about income inequality and the fate of the middle class.

In December, Mortimer Zuckerman wrote a column in U.S. News & World Report, which he owns. "Our nation's core bargain with the middle class is disintegrating," lamented (哀叹) the 117th-riehest main in America. "Most of our economic gains have gone to people at the very top of the income ladder. Average income for a household of people of working age, by contrast, has fallen five years in a row." He noted that "Tens of millions of Americans live in fear that a major health problem can reduce them to bankruptcy."

Wilbur Ross Jr. has echoed Zuckerman's anger over the bitter struggles faced by middle-class Americans. "It's an outrage that any American's life expectancy should be shortened simply because the company they worked for went bankrupt and ended health-care coverage," said the former chairman of the International Steel Group.

What's happening? The very rich are just as trendy as you and I, and can be so when it comes to politics and policy. Given the recent change of control in Congress, the popularity of measures like increasing the minimum wage, and efforts by California's governor to offer universal health care, these guys don't need their own personal weathermen to know which way the wind blows.

It's possible that plutocrats (有钱有势的人) are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory (没收性的) tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn't keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that.

No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity.

In other words, if middle-class Americans continue to struggle financially as the ultrawealthy grow ever wealthier, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain political support for the free flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods, it's likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad. For people who buy and sell companies, or who allocate capital to markets all around the world, that's the real nightmare.

57. What is the current topic of common interest among the very rich in America?

A) The fate of the ultrawealthy people.

B) The disintegration of the middle class.

C) The inequality in the distribution of wealth.

D) The conflict between the left and the right wing.

58. What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman's lamentation?

A) Many middle-income families have failed to make a bargain for better welfare.

B) The American economic system has caused many companies to go bankrupt.

C) The American nation is becoming more and more divided despite its wealth.

D) The majority of Americans benefit little from the nation's growing wealth.

59. From the fifth paragraph we can learn that ______.

A) the very rich are fashion-conscious

B) the very rich are politically sensitive

C) universal health care is to be implemented throughout America

D) Congress has gained popularity by increasing the minimum wage

60. What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class?

A) They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation.

B) They know that the middle class contributes most to society.

C) They want to gain support for global economic integration.

D) They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity.

61. What may happen if the United Stated places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods?

A) The prices of imported goods will inevitably soar beyond control.

B) The investors will have to make great efforts to re-allocate capital.

C) The wealthy will attempt to buy foreign companies across borders.

D) Foreign countries will place the same economic barriers in return. Passage Two

[答案与解析]

57．本题是主旨题，问“美国首富当前共同关心的问题是什么”。短文在第一段中引出了文章的主题“What's hot for 2007 among the very rich? A＄7.3 million diamond ring．A trip to Tanzania to hunt wild animals．Oh，and income inequality．”，即首富们关心的是价值730万美元的钻戒，是去坦桑尼亚狩猎野生动物，还有收入不平衡这一社会现象，而其中收入不平衡才是短文论述的核心。因此[C]“财富分配不平衡”为正确选项。

[A]“超富阶层的命运”。不是短文的主旨。

[B]“中产阶级的瓦解”、[D]“左翼与右翼的冲突”。文中未涉及。

58．本题问“Mortimer Zuckerman 的哀叹表明了什么”。短文第三段这样说到“...‘Most of our economic gains have gone to people at the very top of the income ladder．Average income for a household of people of working age，by contrast，has fallen five years in a row．’...”，即处于收入阶顶端的那部分人获得了绝大部分的财富，而在职工薪阶层的家庭平均收入却连续5年下滑。这就说明中产阶级和富人的差距越拉越大，两个阶级越走越远，即“虽然臭田越来越富有，却退渐走向分裂”，故选[C]。

[A]“美国中产阶级家庭没有获得更好的福利”。第三段中没有比较中产阶

级家庭所得福利比以前要更好或更差。

[B]“美国的经济体制使得很多公司破产”。短文没有提到此意。

[D]“大多数的美国人没有从国家不断增长的财富中分得一杯羹”。Mortimer Zuekerman 哀叹的是贫富差距的加剧，而并未涉及多数美国人是否从国家财富中得到了好处。

59．本题问“第五段说明了什么”。第五段的第二句说到“The very rich are just as trendy as you and I, and can be so when it comes to polities and policy.”，即富豪们迅速觉察到了百姓之忧，在政治和政策方面也不失敏感，故选[B]“首富对政治敏感”。

[A]“首富能把握时尚潮流”、[C]“医疗保健政策即将在全美实施”、[D]“国会通过提高最低工资赢得了民心”文中均没有提到。

60．本题问“有钱有势的人为什么会站在中产阶级的立场上说话”。短文第六段中提到由收入不平等造成的税收增加的趋势还不至于让这些富豪忧心仲仲，而第七段给出了富人这么做的根本原因："No，what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity.”，也就是说有钱人怕财产和经济风险分配不均会使美国在

持续支持全球经济一体化的过程中遭遇更多的政治难题，因此[C]“他们想为全

球经济一体化赢得支持”为正确选项。

[A]“他们企图免交没收性的税款”。这并不是富人焦虑的根本原因。

[B]“他们知道中产阶级对社会的贡献最大”、[D]“他们感到经济风险所造成的威胁越来越大了”。文中均未提及。

61．本题问“美国若对国外投资者和商品设置壁垒，那会发生什么情况”。短文结尾段的第二句说到“And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods，it's likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad.”，也就是说，当美国对国外投资者和商品设置壁垒时，很可能会引起这些国家采取相应的报复行为，故选[D]“这些国家反过来会对美国设置相同的烃

济壁垒”。

[A]“进口货物的价格必定会狂涨”、[B]“投资商会尽量重新分配资本”、[C]“富大会尝试跨国收购外国公司”。文中均未提及。

That explanation appeals to common sense and has dominated efforts to get to the root of the obesity epidemic and reverse it/ yet obesity researchers are increasingly dissatisfied with it. Many now believe that something else must have changed in our environment to precipitate(促成) such dramatic rises in obesity over the past 40 years or so. Nobody is saying that the “big two” – reduced physical activity and increased availability of food – are not important contributors to the epidemic, but they cannot explain it all. Earlier this year a review paper by 20 obesity experts set out the 7 most plausible alternative explanations for the epidemic. Here they are. 1. Not enough sleep It is widely believed that sleep is for the brain, not the body. Could a shortage of shut-eye also be helping to make us fat? Several large-scale studies suggest there may be a link. People who sleep less than 7 hours a night tend to have a higher body mass index than people who sleep more, according to data gathered by the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Similarly, the US Nurses’ Health Study, which tracked 68,000 women for 16 years, found that those who slept an average of 5 hours a night gained more weight during the study period than women who slept 6 hours, who in turn gained more than whose who slept 7. It’s well known that obesity impairs sleep, so perhaps people get fat first and sleep less afterwards. But the nurses’ study suggests that it can work in the other direction too: sleep loss may precipitate weight gain. Although getting figures is difficult, it appears that we really are sleeping less. In 1960 people in the US slept an average of 8.5 hours per night. A 2002 poll by the National Sleep Foundation

之 2008年12月大学英语六级真题试题及答案(A卷)

2008年12月大学英语六级真题试题及答案(A卷) 一、阅读理解 第1题： sustainable development is applied to just about eberything from energy to clean water and economic growth,and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use.this is especially true in agriculture,where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress without a proper appreciation of histrorcal and cultural perspectives. To start with,it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history,and will continue to do so .medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed,clothed and shelered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today.it had minimal effect on biodiversity,and any pollution it caused was typically localized.in termsof energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient. Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial https://www.wendangku.net/doc/aa10362379.html,petion from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields.throughout this period food became cheaper,safe and more reliable.however,these changes have alsoled to habitat loss and to diminishing biodiversity. What’smore,demand for animal products in d eveloping countrics is growing so fast that meeting it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050.yet the growth of cities and in dustry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions. All this means that agriculture in the 21st century will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th.this will require radical thinking.for example,we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones.we also need to abandon the notion that agriculture can be “zero impact”. The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability,which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage.instead we need a more dynamic interpretation,one that looks at the pros and cons of all the various way land is used.there are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield:energy use, environmental costs,water purity,carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example,that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from spain to the UK Is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting.but we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity. What is crucial is recognizing that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production. 1. How do people ofen measure progress in agriculture? A) By its productivity C) By its impact on the environmet B) By its sustainability D) By its contribution to economic growth 2. Specialisation and the effort to incease yields have esulted in________. A) Localised pollution C) competition from overseas B) the shrinking of farmland D) the decrease of biodiversity 3.What does the author think of traditional farming practices? A)They have remained the same over the centuries
