第2题：

材料：

Following a general average incident，ship agents and surveyors play a significant role．A ship agent，in addition to the normal duties of port and husbandry agency，will assist the master in the aftermath of a general average incident to make a declaration which complies with the local law and custom of the port．

Once the average adjuster has confirmed that security has been obtained from all the interested parties，the agent is instructed by the ship owner to permit delivery of the cargo．If cargo has been discharged to lighten the vessel，or cargo has been transshipped to a final destination，the agent will be responsible for keeping full and complete records of all movements and expenditure attributable to the general average．

After any incident，a large number of surveyors representing various interests will descend on the vessel．Some of these surveyors will not be involved directly in the general average process．However，if it has become necessary to sacrifice or discharge a part of the cargo before arrival at the final destination stated on the bill of lading，the ship owner will appoint surveyors to report on the condition and quantity of cargo．

Such surveyors，usually called general average surveyors，will act in the interests of all the parties involved（and may also represent hull and machinery interests）．If possible，the account representing expenditure incurred should be examined and approved by the general average surveyor before settlement．

Which of the following is NOT correct as to the general average surveyors ___________．

A.They may sometimes be involved into the examination and approval of general average expenditures

B.They may sometimes be involved into the examination and approval of general average sacrifices

C.He can rely on greatly the interested parties

D.He can rely on greatly other surveyors

The ship agent mentioned in the passage behaves ______．A.for the benefit of the cargo owner

B.for the benefit of the shipowner

C.for the benefit of the salvors

D.for the benefit of the interested parties other than the above

第4题：

"Welfare makes people lazy"is an intellectual pillar of conservative economic theory,which recommends cutting programs like Medicaid and cash assistance,partly out of a fear that self-reliance degenerates in the face of government assistance.Many economists have for decades argued that this orthodoxy is simply wrong.Welfare isn't just a moral imperative to raise the Iiving standards of the poor.lt's also a critical investment in the health and future careers of low-income kids.However,a core mission of the Republican Party is to reduce government aid to the poor.Many conservative economists argue that some adults might reject certain jobs or longer work hours because doing so would eliminate their eligibility for programs like Medicaid.But this concern has little basis in reality.One of the latest studies on the subject found that Medicaid has"little if any"impact on employment or work hours.In research based in Canada and the U.S.,the economist Ioana Marinescu has found that even when basic-income programs do reduce working hours,adults don't typically stay home to,say,play video games;instead,they often use the extra cash to go back to school or hold out for a more desirable job.But the standard conservative critique of Medicaid and other welfare programs is wrong on another plane entirely.It fails to account for the conclusion of a 2015 paper:Anti-poverty programs can work wonders for their youngest recipients.According to the paper,American adults whose families had access to prenatal coverage under Medicaid have lower rates of obesity,higher rates of high-school graduation,and higher incomes as adults than those from similar households in states without Medicaid."Welfare helps people work"may sound like a strange and counterintuitive claim to some.But it is perfectly obvious when the word people in that sentence refers to low-income children in poor households.Poverty and lack of access to health care is a physical,psychological,and vocational burden for children.Poverty is a slow-motion trauma,and impoverished children are more likely than their middle-class peers to suffer from chronic physiological stress and exhibit antisocial behavior.It's self-evident that relieving children of an ambient trauma improves their lives and,indeed,relieved of these burdens,children from poorer households are more likely to follow the path from high-school graduation to college and then full-time employment,Republicans have a complicated relationship with the American Dream.Conservative politicians praise the virtues of hard work and opportunity.But when they use these virtues to strongly criticize welfare programs,they ignore the overwhelming evidence that government aid relieves low-income children of the psychological and physiological stresses that get in the way of embracing those very ideals.Welfare is so much more than a substitute for a paycheck.It is a remedy for the myriad burdens of childhood poverty,which gives children the opportunity to become exactly the sort of healthy and striving adults celebrated by both political parties.
According to loana Marinescu.basic-income programs

A.justify concerns over aid dependency.
B.will not reduce working hours.
C.help raise the employment rate.
D.allow people to make progress.

答案：D
解析：
第三段末句介绍Ioana的研究发现：就算工作时长因基本收入计划缩短了，工作者也往往不会懒在家中．而是会利用福利项目发放的资金重返校园充实自己或者等待一份更理想的工作，即基本收入计划为自我提升提供了条件，故D.正确。[解题技巧]首句“这种担忧基本没有现实依据”为第三段主旨句，而经济学家Ioana的观点属于正面论据，A.与段落主旨相悖．B.、C.对②句“医疗补助（与基本收入计划同为福利项目）对就业和工作时长几乎没有影响”断章取义，其中B.将“little if any”篡改为表示绝对否定的will not，忽略了末句even when体现的“仍可能发生”小概率情形，C.将“little if any'’篡改为表示肯定的help raise.…，也与②句语义相悖。

第六段指出共和党人与美国梦的关系复杂：一面颂扬美国梦（人人都有机会凭借自身努力获得成功），一面抨击为低收入儿童实现美国梦扫除障碍的福利制度，这种做法自相矛盾，故C.正确。[解题技巧]A.将第六段②句保守派政客（指代①句Republicans）颂扬的“实现美国梦的机会”篡改为“获得福利的机会”．B.由②③句共和党人的矛盾做法过度引申出他们存在思想局限，未真正理解两种美德；D.源自段末celebrated by both political parties，但此处指两党“皆希望每个孩子都获得发展的机会”，意在说服共和党人放弃“削减福利”的主张，而非“愿合作改革”。

第8题：

The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, poor land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more chance of development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand.

One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that of ficial attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, the first concern of government will be to set a limit on the birthrate, whatever the final result may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods.

When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and building industry grow weaker. Faced with concern such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.

(1)The main topic of this article is _____________.

A、environment protection

B、population growth

C、environment and economy

D、climate changing

(2) The passage says that a small population may lead to _____________.

A、higher production, but a lower average income

B、lower production and lower average income

C、higher production and a higher average income

D、lower production, but a higher average income

(3) According to the passage, the use of birth control perhaps is good for_____________.

A、a developing country

B、a developed country

C、the whole world

D、each nation with a big population

(4) In a developed country, people will perhaps be unemployed if the birthrate _____________.

A、goes up

B、goes down

C、remains stable

D、is out of control

(5) The author is aiming to show that_____________.

A、humans will run out of their food supply in the future

B、it is necessary for humans to carry out a worldwide plan for birth control

C、different nations have different views of population growth

D、we need to take necessary measures to prevent the overuse of natural resources.

Conservative economists hold that welfare

A.should exclude the form of cash assistance.
B.may merely be good for low-income kids.
C.would undermine work incentives.
D.should loosen its eligibility criteria.

答案：C
解析：
第二段末句指出，保守经济学家认为部分成人救助对象可能会为了达到医疗补助的资格要求，而拒不接受某类工作，或故意选择短时工作（reject certain jobs or longer work hours），即医疗补助（福利）会削弱他们的工作动力，C.正确，该项同时契合开篇保守经济理论的核心观点“福利让人懒惰（makes people lazy）”。[解题技巧]A.将首段②句“减少现金资助”篡改为绝对化的表述“彻底取消现金资助”．B.从首段④句作者看法“不仅有益穷人，还对低收入儿童的健康和未来很关键”臆断出保守派认为“只对低收入儿童有用”；D.与开篇以及cutting、fear等词传达出的保守经济学家的态度“收紧资格审查，限制福利”相悖。

第10题：

资料： The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor. People are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are Old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.

We may conclude from the passage that _______

A.poor people are bound to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do business
B.welfare will enable people to be rich
C.employment is the best solution to the poverty problem
D.better solutions to the poverty problem are not found yet

答案：D
解析：
本题考查的是判断推理。
【关键词】conclude; from the passage
【主题句】第二段Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below
the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living.（因此，即使今天有相对较高的生活水平，大约有百分之十的美国人处于贫困线以下。然而，如果他们有稳定的工作，就会满意自己的生活水平。）；倒数第二段The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare.（政府从非贫困人口中征税，把钱分给穷人。我们把这些给穷人的费用称为福利。）；最后一段Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.（一些经济学家寻找更好解决贫困问题的方法。然而目前，许多人依靠福利勉强糊口。）
【解析】第5题问“我们可以从文章推断出什么？”。A选项“如果穷人有机会做生意，他们就会走出贫困线。”文章第三段第三句话说“如果穷人有稳定的工作，他们就会满意自己的生活水平，”这里并没有说他们要去做生意，属于过度推测，所以A选项排除；B选项“福利会使人们富裕”。文章在倒数第二段涉及到福利（welfare），但并未说给福利会让人变有钱，也属于过度推测，故排除；C选项“就业是解决贫困的最佳方法”。文章在最后一段第一句提到“一些经济学家寻找更好解决贫困问题的方法”，换言之，目前没有最好解决贫困的方法；D选项“人们尚未发现更好解决贫困的方法”，最后一段第一句说经济学家仍然在寻找解决问题的方法，言外之意目前并未出现解决贫困的最佳方法，所以D选项和原文信息一致。
