| 第2题：An actual recession in the euro area earlier this year， when America first sneezed， the European Central Bank （along with most private-sector economists） argued that the euro area was insulated from America‘s slowdown and had little to worry about. This seems to have been wrong. In Germany there are fears about recession as business investment and retail sales tumble. Recent figures confirmed that Germany‘s GDP stagnated in the second quarter. Italy‘s GDP fell in the second quarter， and although growth has held up better in France and Spain， the growth in the euro area as a whole was close to zero in the quarter. Nobody is forecasting an actual recession in the euro area this year， but it is no longer expected to provide an engine for world growth. As for Japan， it is probably already in recession. Japan‘s GDP grew slightly in the first quarter. Persistent deflation continues to be a severe problem. A revised measure of Japan‘s consumer-price index， to be published soon， is likely to show that deflation is worse than had been thought. |

| 第3题：For an increasing number of students atAmerican universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying ofAmerica means jobs.Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 40 years.By 2040, 25 percent of allAmericans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course.But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says ProfessorEdward Schneider of the University of SouthernCalifornia’s (USC、School of Gerontology (老年学). Lawyers can specialize in "elder law"; which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视).Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MB A、or law degree will have a license to print money," one professor says. Margarine Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC、She began college as a biology major but found she was "really bored with bacteria". So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying. \ In the fifth sentence of the first paragraph, the word "pose" can be best replaced by______. A、bring about B、result C．lead to D．offer |

| 第5题：One of the most widely discussed subjects these days is energy crisis.Automobile drivers cannot get gasoline; homeowners may not get enough heating oil; factories are (56) by a fuel shortage. The crisis has (57) questions about the large oil companies and windfall (58) .Critics of the oil industry charge that the major companies are getting richer because of the oil shortage. Shortage, of course, drives prices up.As oil prices rise, the critics say, the oil companies will make more money (windfall profits) without doing a thing to (59) the extra cash. "Windfall" profits are sudden unearned profits-profits made (60) luck, or some special turn of events. The word itself tells what "windfall" means-- something blown down by the wind, such as trees, or fruit (61) from trees.But the word has taken on a special meaning. This meaning (getting something unearned) was first used in medievalEnglanD、 This is (62) it started: at that time much of the land was in the hands of (63) barons. The rest of the people, commoners, lived and worked on their vast estates. They planted the seed, cared for the farm animals and harvested the crops. Not all the land, however, was used for farming.Every baron kept a large private forest for (64) deer and wild bear. When hungry, the people sometimes would kill the animals in the lord’s forest for fooD、And there were times (65) they might cut down trees for fuel. So, strong laws were passed to protect the forests, and the animals. Violations were severely (66) . But there was one way people could get wood from the forest. If they found trees blown down by the wind ("windfall") they were free to take them for use as fuel in their homes.And that is the meaning that has come down to us-something good gotten by luck or (67) . The common people of oldEngland, often hungry and cold, must often have prayed for a good strong winD、Critics today (68) that the oil industry has also been praying for something just like it -some political or military (69) that might produce a windfall-- a rise in oil prices and profits. The oil companies deny that this is so. InCongress, critics of the oil companies have proposed a (70) on such profits. The debate on rising oil price will go on for some time, and most likely we will hear more and more about windfall profits. A、blew B．blowing C．to blow D．blown |
