As a rule, saving is good. It helps individuals afford big-ticket items(a house, college tuition, etc.),protect against emergencies and prepare for retirement. For societies, it provides funds for investments in new factories, technologies and businesses. In economics textbooks, a country’s savings usually stay with in its borders. Also, savings automatically balance with new investment, mainly through interest rates and stock prices. If, for example, people want to save more than businesses want to invest, interest rates should drop.That should encourage investment and discourage saving.

请阅读Passage l。完成第小题。
Passage 1
They came to the United States as children with little idea, if any, of what it meant to overstay a visa. They enrolled in public schools, learned English, earned high school diplomas. Like many of their classmates, they pondered college choices. But as undocumented immigrants in Maryland, they then had to confront the reality that they must pay two to three times what former high school classmates pay to attend the state's public colleges. It is a rule that, for many students of modest means, puts a college education out of reach, with one exception : Montgomery College.
That is why Josue Aguiluz, 21, born in Honduras, and Ricardo Campos, 23, born in E1 Salvador--and numerous others like them--landed at the community college. There, they study and wait for a verdict from Maryland voters on a Nov. 6 ballot measure that may determine whether they can afford to advance to a four-year college.
"I know people in Maryland believe in education," Campos said the other day at the student center on the Rockville campus. "I know they are going to vote for Question 4. I'm hanging on their vote."
Question 4 asks voters to affirm or strike down a law that the legislature passed last year,known as Maryland's version of the "Dream Act," which granted certain undocumented immigrants the ability to obtain in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. The subsidy comes with conditions. Among them: To take advantage, students must first go to a two-year community college.
The law was pushed to a referendum after opponents mounted a lightning petition drive that showed the depth of division over illegal immigration across the state and the nation. Critics say discounting tuition for students who lack permission to be in the country is an unjustified giveaway of what they believe will amount to tens of millions of tax dollars a year.
"When an undocumented student enters the system, it is a net loss of revenue," said Del.
Patrick L. McDonough. "It is a simple mathematical argument. Put your emotion and your passion aside, and get out your calculator."
There is no count of the number of students statewide who would be eligible for benefits under the law. Estimates range from several hundred to a few thousand.
A Washington Post poll this month found that a solid majority of likely voters favored the law:
59 percent support it, and 35 percent are opposed. If the law is affirmed, Maryland would join about a dozen other states with laws or policies providing in-state tuition benefits to undocumented immigrants. Texas became the first in 2001.
Experts say Maryland's version is the only one that requires students to go through community college first. That means the state's 16 community colleges could become a pipeline for undocumented students in public higher education if the measure is approved.
Montgomery College is already a magnet for such students. It offers the same low tuition to any student who graduated within the past three years from a Montgomery County high school.
What reality did the undocumented immigrants in Maryland have to confront?
查看材料A．It is impossible for them to get college education.
B．They cannot afford to study in Montgomery College.
C．They must pay more tuition than their peers to get high school diplomas.
D．They must pay more tuition than their peers at the state's public colleges.答案：D解析：根据第一段第四句“But as undocumented immigrants in Maryland，they then had to confront the reality that they must pay two to three times what former high school classmates pay to attend the state’s public coHeges．"可知．马里兰无证件移民不得不面临的现实是跟他们之前的高中同学比起来．他们必须花费两到三倍多的学费去读公立大学。D项符合此意，故选D。 -

Book Review of Anne Narazaki's
New Century, New Business
Reviewed by John Gilliam
Anne Narazaki's recent book, New Century, New Business, seeks to examine the new tech-nologies that are critical for global business and how they affect today's corporate transactions. Ms.Narazaki argues that while economic transactions of one kind or another have taken place for thou-sands of years, the impact of changing technology on business has become obvious only recently. In fact, as new technologies have grown more prevalent, Ms. Narazaki observes, international busi-nesses have increased in size and number. At the same time, the time required to conduct each business transaction has decreased.
Mr. Narazaki illustrates her observations with detailed examples of recent business transac-tions. Citing the merger of Poynter Technologies and Carce Company, which created the largest fi-nancial services company in the world, Ms. Narazaki explains the effect technology has on the val-uation of a company, on communication between the managements of different companies, and on stock and funds trading.
Those of us who take an interest in the interaction between business and technology will find Ms. Narazaki's ideas persuasive. The view that business cannot survive without keep~ing up with new technology has become today's corporate reality.
In the article, the word "critical" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to （ ）。A.growing
B.sensitive
C.disapproving
D.important答案：D解析：“critical”一词出现在“examine the new technologies that are critical for global business”这句话中，结合整句加以理解，是说：新的科技技术对全球商业的重要性。所以，该题的正确答案应为D。 -

第9题：
单选题A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man-the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort. This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because （）Aservants in American are hard to get
Bshe takes pride in what she can do herself
Cshe can hardly afford servants
DIt is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
正确答案： D解析： [解析] 推断题。根据This attitude toward manual(体力的)labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. (在美国生活的方方面面，尊重体力劳动态度的现象仍然随处可见)，可以推断女主人亲自下厨，是因为她以能做这样的体力活而自豪。 -

第13题：
Insurance (保险) may be considered a game of risk in which individuals and businesses protect themselves, their families, and their property from possible losses resulting from unpredictable events such as storms, fires, accidents and illnesses. The first rule of the game, devised centuries age, is "share the risk". To play by this rule, many people take a small loss in place of one person′ s taking a large one.
It is a simple idea: an individual pays a small amount of money called a premium (保险费) to an agent who acts on behalf of an insurance company, or underwriter, which holds the individual′s premium and the premiums paid by thousands of others. The individual receives an insurance policy, a promise that if there is a loss to the individual as defined in the policy the insurance company will pay for it. The funds will come from the individual′s premium, the premium paid by others who did not have losses, and money from the company′ s investment of all the premiums. An individual who does not have a loss loses the premium money but purchases what insurance underwriters call "peace of mind". It is a gamble for the customer and the underwriter, but it is built on the first rule of risk that losses are small when shared by many.
According to the passage, insurance company will protect individuals from the losses EXCEPTA.property
B.fires
C.accidents

一般来说,储蓄是件好事。储蓄可以使个人支付得起大的开支(比如购买房子、交大学学费等)、应付紧急情况并为以后退休做好准备。对社会而言,储蓄可以提供建设新工厂、开发新技术和开拓新业务所需要的资金。在经济学的教科书里,一个国家的储蓄通常留在本国。而且储蓄和新的投资会通过利率和股市价格的变动自动实现平衡。比如,当人们想存的钱超过企业想要投资的钱时,利率就会下降。这样会鼓励投资而不鼓励储蓄。解析： 暂无解析
