21、nd D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET._The long-term fortunes of the modern economy depend in part on the strength and sustainability of the family, both in relation to fertility trends and to mar
22、riage trends. This basic, but often overlooked, principle is now at work in the current global economic crisis. The decline of marriage and fertility is one factor in the global economic crisis. That is one reason that some of the worlds leading economies from Japan to Italy to Spain to the euro zon
23、e as a whole are facing fiscal challenges is that their fertility rates have been below replacement levels(2. 1 children per woman)for decades. Persistent sub-replacement fertility eventually translates into fewer workers relative to retirees, which puts tremendous strains on public coffers and the
24、economy as a whole. Indeed, one recent study finds that almost half of the recent run-up in public debt in the West can be attributed to rapid aging over the last two decades. Even China may see its sky-high growth “ come down to earth in the next few decades as its work force shrinks“ because of it
25、s one-child policy, as Carlos Cavalle and I argued in a recent report, The Sustainable Demographic Dividend. By contrast, a recent Rand study suggests that “India will have more favorable demographics than China“ over the next few decades, insofar as its work force is poised to grow. In fact, the Ra
26、nd study suggests that India may be able to use this demographic advantage to outpace Chinas economic growth rates by the end of the century. Finally, its not just fertility that matters; its also marriage. At least in the West, children are more likely to acquire the human and social capital they n
27、eed to thrive in the modern economy when they are raised in an intact, married family. In the U. S. , for instance, children are more likely to graduate from high school, complete college and be gainfully employed as young adults if they were raised in an intact, married family. And around the globe
28、, men are more likely to give their work their fullest effort and attention when they are married; this is one reason men worldwide enjoy “ marriage premiums“ in their income, ranging from about 14 percent(Mexico)to 19 percent(United States)to 35 percent(Russia). So, at least when it comes to men, r
29、esearch suggests that marriage has important implications for worker productivity. The bottom-line message is that what happens in the home does not stay at home; rather, the size of families, and their stability and quality, has important implications for the health of the global economy.(分数:10.00)
30、(1).The main idea of this passage is that_.(分数:2.00)A.women should bear more children in order to boost the economyB.both marriage and fertility affect a countrys economyC.marriage has important implications for worker productivityD.India will outpace Chinas economic growth rate by the end of the ce
31、ntury(2).One reason that the worlds leading economies are facing fiscal challenges is that_.(分数:2.00)A.there is a global economic crisis in recent yearsB.there are fewer babies, and consequently, people spend less on many commoditiesC.people in these countries have fewer children than needed to repl
32、ace the population for many yearsD.there are tremendous strains on public coffers and the economy as a whole(3).“.its work force is poised to grow “(Paragraph 3)probably means_.(分数:2.00)A.its work force pauses to growB.its work force continues to grow fastC.its work force continues to grow steadilyD
33、.its work force grows slowly(4).From the passage we know that_.(分数:2.00)A.children from an intact, married family are more likely to have a better lifeB.the more people a country has, the stronger economy it will haveC.the health of the global economy depends entirely on individual familiesD.men are
34、 likely to work harder when they are going to have children(5).According to the passage, all the following can affect economy EXCEPT_.(分数:2.00)A.the size of familiesB.the stability of familiesC.the quality of familiesD.men and women ratio within the familiesImagine eating everything delicious you wa
35、nt with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldnt it? New “fake fat“ products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain fo
36、ods. Critics, however, say that the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So it is up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating. Chemists discovered olestra in the l
37、ate 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that cant be digested at all. Normally, special chemicals in the intestines “ grab“ molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can
38、be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty acids. The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vit
39、amins attach to the molecules and are carried into the bloodstream. Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers say its that ability to slide unchanged thr
40、ough the intestines that makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids, compound
41、s that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc. Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about
42、how many calories they are consuming.(分数:10.00)(1).We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that_.(分数:2.00)A.contains plenty of nutrientsB.renders foods calorie-free while retaining their vitaminsC.makes foods easily digestibleD.makes foods fat-free while keeping them delicious(2).The r
43、esult of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be_.(分数:2.00)A.commercially uselessB.just as anticipatedC.somewhat controversialD.quite unexpected(3).Olestra is different from ordinary fats in that_.(分数:2.00)A.it passes through the intestines without being absorbedB.it facilitates the
44、 absorption of vitamins by the bodyC.it helps reduce the incidence of heart diseaseD.it prevents excessive intake of vitamins(4).What is a possible effect of olestra according to some critics?(分数:2.00)A.It may impair the digestive system.B.It may affect the overall fat intake.C.It may increase the r
45、isk of cancer.D.It may spoil the consumers appetite.(5).Why are nutritionists concerned about adding vitamins to olestra?(分数:2.00)A.It may lead to the over-consumption of vitamins.B.People may be induced to eat more than is necessary.C.The function of the intestines may be weakened.D.It may trigger
46、a new wave of fake food production.In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have f
47、ound that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called “ classical conditioning“. This occurs when one event or stimulus is consistently paired with, or followed by, a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mothers face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion. The second kind of learning is called “ operant conditioning. “ This occurs when an individual learns to do
