  • 第2题：

    Robert F.Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures“everything except that which makes life worthwhile.”With Britain voting to leave the European Union,and GDP already predicted to slow as a result,it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century.Many argue that it is a flawed concept.It measures things that do not matter and miss things that do.By most recent measures,the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western World,with record low unemployment and high growth figures.If everything was going so so well,then why did over 17million people vote for Brexit,despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?
    A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question.Across the 163 countries measured,the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvement for its citizens.Rather than just focusing on GDR over 40 different sets of criteria from health,education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.
    While all of these countries face their own challenges,there are a number of consistent themes.Yes,there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash,but in key indicators in areas such as health and education,major economies have continued to decline.Yet this isn't the case with all countries.Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society;income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn:When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success,the world looks very different.
    So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations,as a measure,it is no longer enough.It does not include important factors such as environmental equality or education outcomes-all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being.
    The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth.But policymaker who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.
    It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that____

    A.the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern.
    B.the UK will contribute less to the world economy.
    C.GDP as the measure of success is widely defied in the UK.
    D.policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP.

    答案：B
    解析：
    推理题。从第二段当中，第一句话：The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers...其中的annoyed的感情色彩是否定的，说明policymakers对GDP的作用是否定的;第二句当中many argue that it is a flawed concept.其中的it指代GDP，大家认为GDP是一个有缺陷的概念，表明人民大众对GDP的感情色彩也是否定的。最后一句更是明显的指出：如果一切顺利的话，为什么还有17 million的人不顾国家前途而投票脱欧呢?更是表明对GDP作用的否定，因此综上所述，B选项GDP作为测量成功的方式饱受争议，是正确选项。

    Communications Revolution Cyberspace,data superhighway,multi-media-for those who have seen the future,the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever.Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.As with all new high technology,while the West concerns itself.with the"how",the question of"for whom"is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it.Terms of trade,exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets-with destructive impact on the have-nots. For them the result is instability.Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As"futures"are traded on computer screens,developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies. So what are the options for regaining control?One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves-so-called"development communications"modernization.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries'economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S.,Europe or Japan;the patents,skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.It is also expensive,and imported products and services must therefore be bought on credit-credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain. Furthermore,when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development.This means that while local elites,foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit,those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied by it.

    Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?
    A:Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.
    B:Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.
    C:Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.
    D:Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.

    答案：B
    解析：
    文章第一段说发达国家在网络空间、数字高速公路、多媒体等高科技方面迅猛发展的同时，贫困国家的发展却并不受重视。第二段最后一句话进一步指出，电子经济的发展使得发达国家进一步控制了全球市场，从而给贫困国家造成了毁灭性的影响。第四段接着谈到贫困国家若想控制本国经济的发展，就要引进最新技术，但是这又会导致贫困国家在发展电讯事业方面长期依赖发达国家，使得本国经济受到永久的约束。由此可见，高科技的发展是符合发达国家的利益的。故选B。
    由文章第石段第二句话“…little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.”可知，贫困国家的发展并没有受到足够的重视。故选A。
    由文章第二段最后一句话和第三段最后一句话可知，电子经济的发展使得发达国家进一步控制了全球市场，而使发展中国家对本匡经济的控制能力相对减弱。这些都将对发展中国家造成毁灭性的影响。除此之外，由文章第四段可知，发展中国家要重新获得对本国经济的控制能力，就需要引进发达国家的先进科技，这又使得发展中国家更加依赖发达国家，从而限制了本国经济的发展。所以说，电子经济的发展之所以会对发展中国家造成毁灭性的影响的直接原因是它限制了发展中国家的经济发展。故选B。
    由文章第四段最后一句话“Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries ' economies.”可知，如果发展中国家选择发展现代化通讯技术，那么就会导致他们长期地依赖发达国家，给本国的经济发展带来永久的制约。因此发展中国家现代通讯技术的发展将是以牺牲本国的经济独立为代价的。故选B。
    通读全文可知，作者多次指出高新技术的发展在给发达国家带来巨大利益的同时，却阻碍了发展中国家的经济发展。它给发展中国家带来的将是毁灭性的影响。由此可推测出作者对通讯革命持批判态度。故选D。

    Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020

    The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
    2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
    by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
    The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
    Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
    countries as well as rich ones.
    Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
    more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
    The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
    number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
    mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
    current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
    "Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
    first time, matching its effect in industrialized（工业化的）countries , " said researcher Paul
    Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
    disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
    terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
    The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
    developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
    countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors（肿瘤）
    at the time of diagnosis.
    Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
    to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens（致癌物）,and an unhealthy
    Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
    prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
    in the West,which increase cancer rates.

    Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
    A:There were 1 0 million cancer patients worldwide in 2000.
    B:Generally,cancer accounted for 12% of all deaths in 2000.
    C:Cancer is the cause of over 25%of all deaths in many countries.
    D:It is expected that global cancer rates will go up by 50%by 2020.

    资料：Up to 80 per cent of the world’s middle classes will live in developing countries by 2030 thanks to surprising recent gains in poverty reduction, according to a United Nations report published on Thursday.
    “Never in history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast.” concludes the UN’s latest Development Report. “The world is witnessing an epochal ‘global rebalancing’.”
    Underpinning the improvements in the human development index（HDI） was rapid growth in countries such as China, India and Brazil, with China and India having doubled per capita economic output in less than 20 years. But the study stressed that growth and improvements in HDI spread far beyond the four Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and included at least 40 countries that had accompanied greater economic dynamism with effective poverty-reduction policies.
    Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. The report stated that such gains had already helped the world achieve the main poverty eradication goal of the so-called Millennium Development Goals, which called for the share of people living on less than $1.25 a day to be cut by half from 1990 to 2015.
    Underpinning this poverty reduction was developing countries’ increasing share of global trade, which grew from 25 per cent to 47 per cent between 1980 and 2010. “The south as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries,” says the report.
    The report found that trade among developing countries was the biggest factor in that expansion, increasing from less than 10 per cent of total global trade to more than 30 per cent. “Trade between countries in the south will overtake that between developed nations,” the report said.

    “More than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone” illustrates ______.

    A.the economic development of China is important
    B.the role of some developing countries is significant for poverty reduction
    C.14 countries are developing faster than China
    D.it is crucial to make a clear goal first

    Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020

    The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
    2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
    by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
    The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
    Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
    countries as well as rich ones.
    Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
    more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
    The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
    number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
    mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
    current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
    "Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
    first time, matching its effect in industrialized（工业化的）countries , " said researcher Paul
    Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
    disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
    terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
    The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
    developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
    countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors（肿瘤）
    at the time of diagnosis.
    Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
    to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens（致癌物）,and an unhealthy
    Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
    prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
    in the West,which increase cancer rates.

    The report says that steps could be taken to reduce about
    A:50% of new cancers.
    B:33% of new cancers.
    C:12% of new cancers.
    D:80% of new cancers.

    The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
    2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
    by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
    The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
    Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
    countries as well as rich ones.
    Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
    more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
    The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
    number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
    mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
    current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
    "Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
    first time, matching its effect in industrialized（工业化的）countries , " said researcher Paul
    Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
    disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
    terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
    The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
    developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
    countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors（肿瘤）
    at the time of diagnosis.
    Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
    to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens（致癌物）,and an unhealthy
    Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
    prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
    in the West,which increase cancer rates.

    The risk of dying from cancer in developed countries is
    A:double that in developing countries.
    B:much higher than that in developing countries.
    C:the same as that in developing countries.
    D:much lower than that in developing countries.

    Technological Utopia for Developing Countries

    Cyberspace（网络空间）,data superhighways, multi-media, the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia（乌托邦）,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology,the West concerns itself with the"how to benefit".The question of"for whom"is put aside once again.
    Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade ex-change,interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made possible by information revolution.Technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets and with destructive impact on the have-nots.
    For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As "futures"（期货）are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
    So what are the options for regaining control?One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves一so-called"development communications"modernization.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries' economies.
    Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S.,Europe or Japan.The patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.
    Furthermore,when new technology is introduced,there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit native development.This means that while local elites,foreign communities and subsidiaries of transitional corporations may benefit,but not developing countries.

    Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?
    A:Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.
    B:Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.
    C:Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.
    D:Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.

    答案：A
    解析：
    题干意思为：从文章中我们可以知道，发展高科技对谁有利。本篇文章一直在强调发达国家从中获益，发展中国家为受害国，因此A选项“富裕国家”符合题意。
    题干意思为：可以从文章中推断出什么。根据第1段中As with all new high technology,the West concerns itself with the"how benefit”.The question of"for whom"is put aside once again．可知，对于所有的高新科技，西方国家关心的是“如何获益”，而“谁会获益”的问题再一次被搁置。和西方国家相对立的即为发展中国家。
    题干的意思为：作者为什么说电子经济对发展中国家有破坏性的影响？根据文章第2段最后一句Technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets and with destructive impact on the have-nots可知，科技使得富国增加了对全球市场的控制，而给穷国带来了破坏性的打击。因此A选项符合题意。其他选项文中未提及。
    题干意思为：现代通讯技术的发展对发展中国家有什么影响。根据文章第4段最后一句Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries' economies可知，通讯技术的发展导致了发展中国家长期的依赖，也许会永久地限制发展中国家的经济发展。
    题干的意思为：作者对于通讯革命持什么态度。从全篇可知，作者“批评” 了科技发展对于发展中国家造成的不利影响。

    Exports are either raw materials or manufactured goods. Raw materials are products of the land， such as cotton， timber or rubber. Some raw materials， such as iron ore， come from mines. These raw materials are often exported by the countries that produce them to other countries where they are made into manufactured goods. Some countries produce food for export， for example， meat， sugar， or cereals such as wheat and maize. These countries are agricultural countries. An agricultural country needs fertile land and a good climate. A cold， dry climate is not suitable for agriculture. A country which produces manufactured goods is known as an industrialized country. An industrialized country cannot always produce enough food for its own needs. In this case， it does not export foodstuffs. Instead it has to import them. It relies on exports of manufactured products and pays for imports with the money it earns from the exported goods. The countries which produce food for export, for example, meat, sugar, or cereals such as wheat and maize are countries.（）

    • A、developed
