第一部分阅读 (共两节，满分 50 分)

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

The vast Caspian Sea, though sometimes classed as a lake, is the largest landlocked body of

water in the world. The gateway between Europe and Asia, it is bordered by Iran to the south,

Azerbaijan and Russia to the west and Turkmenistan to the east, while Kazakhsta’s Mangystau

region lies to the northeast. Many visitors crowd to Caspian Sea every year to experience its

beauty.

FISHING

Fishing is a popular pastime and important industry throughout the waters of the Caspian

Sea. From the shores of Mangystau in Kazakhstan, it is possible to rent fishing boats or join

fishing tours to spend a day fishing on the water.

SAILING

The Caspian Sea is filled with boats, ferries and ships. It is a popular way to travel from other

major port cities such as Baku in Azerbaijan to Aktau, or down the mighty Volga Canal.

Meanwhile, on a smaller scale, boats can be rented from Aktau for a day on the water.

WATERSPORTS

The beaches of Mangystau, lapped by the waters of the Caspian Sea, are the jumping off

points for many popular water sports. In the summer months especially, visitors enjoy sunbathing

and taking a refreshing dip, while more active holidaymakers can windsurf and parasail to their

hearts’ delight.

1. How many countries are there circling around the Caspian sea?

A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

2. What can you do if you want to fish on the Caspian Sea?

A. Buy your own boat. B. Employ a local fisher.

C. Rent a fishing boat. D. Buy fish on the boat.

3. What will you do if you are an adventurous person?

A. Go swimming. B. Go diving. C. Go sunbathing. D. Go windsurfing.

The juries (陪审团) entered.

I stood beside the lawyer and my brother, Jimmy. It reminded me of our childhood—as things

often did—when we played the game “Simon Says”, we would react at the same time in harmony

when hearing all kinds of order. “Simon says jump; Simon says touch your toes”—it was almost

the same. Almost.

When we grew up, my brother had chosen a separate life, leaving me alone. I missed him a lot.

Today, though, we were together, standing in court, waiting for the sentence.

The guilty verdict (判决)was read. I sat down, but my brother cried, “No! I'm innocent.” And

then he turned to me, yelling, “How can you do this to me, James! I finally can make a new life by

myself.”

“Stop this,” the judge yelled, “the juries have made the decision.”

“But it's not fair!” my brother replied, “I didn’t kill anyone.”

I wished I could explain, but I said nothing because this is the only way we can be together

again.

The judge pulled his glasses from his face. “By law...”

“The law is unjust,” my brother said.

The judge wiped his eyes, and, to my surprise, said calmly. “Yes,” he nodded his glasses

aside. “I agree with you about that. Law is meant to protect the innocent. And you certainly seem

innocent. But how can I tell? You two are clones. Your faces, your fingerprints, even your DNA

match exactly. That’s why when one is found guilty, all others…”

The judge sighed, replaced his glasses, and banged the hammer. “I sentence you both to

twenty years.”

Together, the court guard led us away. My brother’s head bowed in defeat, but I walked

upright, for I would no longer be alone.

4. How did James think of their childhood?

A. He felt sorry for Jimmy. B. He had been in court before.

7. What can be inferred from the text?

C. James knew nothing about the law. D. James took advantage of the law.

We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy. The story goes like

this: the more consumers spend，the more money circulates in the economy, which contributes to

healthy job growth and profits. Keynes, a British economist went as far as to say that individuals

saving their money may actually be hurting the economy. Sounds troubling, doesn’t it?

Fear not. You aren’t actually hurting anyone else by saving money. Strong economic growth

only comes from one place：savings. Not consumption. In fact, economic activity should not be

mistaken for economic growth. For example, somebody takes their money, walks into a store, and

purchases goods. The store increases its revenue.

But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume

by saving their money? Simple: Other people are allowed to consume them. Think of it this way:

When you lend out your savings, you are actually saying, “Here, I am not going to consume right

now, so why don’t you?” Banks simply play the middleman: they collect lots of people’s savings

and then lend out lots of funds.

It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building. It takes food,

shelter, and entertainment for all of the workers, as well. Without savings, it is quite impossible to

finance such a construction. The coordination ( 协调 ) between savings and consumption is a

necessary basis for sound economic growth. This coordination is also why consumer lending (say,

to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive，in a strict sense. It doesn’t increase

the net (净的) amount of wealth of an economy. Those savings could have been used to construct,

say, factory equipment.

None of this means consumption and spending are “bad” things. They simply do not make us

wealthier. After all, the final goal of production and savings is to consume. But to say that

consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse. Or, to rephrase:

the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps. Wealthier, no.

8. What is the author’s attitude towards Keynes’ theory?

A. Approving. B. Reserved . C. Uncertain. D. Critical.

9. The underlined word “revenue” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. income B. reputation C. interest D. cost

10. According to the author, which chart could show the effect of savings on economy?

11. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Saving Behavior of the Economy

B. Consumption: A Key Concept in Economy

C. The Truth about Savings and Consumption

D. Consumer Spending and Economic Growth

Do you still remember the scene in the famous movie Titanic, directed by Cameron, where

Jack was frozen to death in the icy cold water so that Rose could survive on the floating door

alone? It broke many people’s heart.

Two decades later, people are still asking the question, “wasn’t there enough room on the
