Still, I was never 36 . The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect play- ground whose 37 were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby 38 and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was 39 to find an old, one-lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I 40 set out to travel it. It was full of potholes（坑洼）and deep woods 41 it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.‎ I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was 42 in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was 43 and even a bit stupid, so I walked on. The dirt road gave way to a gravel（石子）one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a 44 in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up 45 on this road in the dark of night, 46 I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.‎ I continued to walk on with the 47 growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in 48 when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I 49 .

The experts analyzed the effects of taxes on sugary drinks, tobacco and alcohol in countries that have introduced them and found that the criticism that they are punishing the poorest is unfounded.‎ Experts did a survey. They looked at 13 countries: Chile, Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Albania, Poland, Turkey, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Niger, Nigeria, India and Timor-Leste. They found that wealthier families generally spend more on alcohol, soft drinks and snacks. In India, for instance, wealthier households spent seven times more on alcohol and three times more on soft drinks and snacks compared to poorer households. So those households end up paying a larger proportion of any tax.‎ On the other hand, taxes have a greater impact on the smaller household budgets of poorer families. They respond by buying less, with greater benefits for their health. In the UK, say the authors, the response to the possible introduction of a minimum price for alcohol was estimated to be 7.6 times larger in the poorest households, compared with the wealthiest.‎ In Mexico, the introduction of a sugary drinks tax resulted in an average of 4.2 litres less of soft drinks purchased per person, with a 17% decrease in purchases among lower income groups and almost no change in higher income groups. In Lebanon, they say, a 50% increase in the price of cigarettes would lead to twice as many people quitting smoking in poorer households as wealthy families.‎ ‎“The evidence suggests that concerns about higher taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and soft drinks harming the poor are overstated,” said Dr Rachel Nugent from RTI International in Seattle, USA, and chair of the Lancet Taskforce on NCDs and economics.‎ ‎“Some degree of taxation on tobacco is common in many countries, and while we are starting to see progress on alcohol taxes, there is much more governments should be doing-in both high and low income countries—to consider the careful introduction of taxes on other unhealthy products like soft drinks and snacks. Price policies such as taxes will be a key part of the response to rising rates of non-communicable disease (慢性非传染病).”‎ The UK sugar tax is a levy（征税）on the producers of 18p per litre for drinks containing 5g of sugar per 100ml and 24p on those with 8g per 100ml. Many companies have reformulated their products, often swapping artificial sweeteners for sugar. Some—Coca-Cola-have decided to stick to the original recipe and the price will rise, although the bottles and cans will shrink to reduce the impact.‎ ‎58. What do we know about the “sin taxes”？‎ A. They receive warm welcome in developing countries.‎ B. They help people get rid of unhealthy lifestyles.‎ C. They have the same effects on the poor and rich.‎ D. They have a deeper influence on groups with high income.‎ ‎59. Which of the following is TRUE about the responses to the “sin taxes”？‎ A. The public have turned a deaf ear to it.‎ B. The government has introduced taxes on snacks.‎ C. Many companies have raised the price of their products.‎ D. Coca-Cola will use smaller packages to counter the impacts.‎ ‎60. The author supports his ideas in the passage by ________.‎ A. giving examples B. telling stories ‎ C. analyzing causes and effects D. reasoning and concluding C Most of us are already aware of the direct effect we have on our friends and family. But we rarely consider that everything we think, feel, do, or say can spread far beyond the people we know. Conversely (相反地), our friends and family serve as conduits (渠道) for us to be influenced by hundreds or even thousands of other people. In a kind of social chain reaction, we can be deeply affected by events we do not witness that happen to people we do not know. As part of a social network, we go beyond ourselves, for good or ill, and become a part of something much larger. ‎ Our connectedness carries with it fundamental implications (影响) for the way we understand the human condition. Social networks have value precisely because they can help us to achieve what we could not achieve on our own. Yet, social-network effects are not always positive. Depression, obesity, financial panic, and violence also spread. Social networks, it turns out, tend to magnify (放大) whatever they are seeded with.‎ Partly for this reason, social networks are creative. And what these networks create does not belong to any one individual—it is shared by all those in the network. In this way, a social network is like a commonly owned forest: we all stand to benefit from it, but we also must work together to ensure it remains healthy and productive. While social networks are fundamentally and distinctively human, and can be seen everywhere, they should not be taken for granted.‎ If you are happier or richer or healthier than others, it may have a lot to do with where you happen to be in the network, even if you cannot recognize your own location. And it may have a lot to do with the overall structure of the network, even if you cannot control that structure at all. And in some cases, the process feeds back to the network itself. A person with many friends may become rich and then attract even more friends. This rich-get-richer dynamic means social networks can dramatically reinforce two different kinds of inequality in our society: situational inequality and positional inequality. ‎ Lawmakers have not yet considered the consequences of positional inequality. Still, understanding the way we are connected is an essential step in creating a more just society and in carrying out public policies affecting everything from public health to the economy. We might be better off vaccinating (接种疫苗) centrally located individuals rather than weak individuals. We might be better off helping interconnected groups of people to avoid criminal behavior rather than preventing or punishing crimes one at a time.‎ If we want to understand how society works, we need to fill in the missing links between individuals. We need to understand how interconnections and interactions between people give rise to wholly new aspects of human experience that are not present in the individuals themselves. If we do not understand social networks, we cannot hope to fully understand either ourselves or the world we inhabit. ‎ ‎61. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. We can’t be easily affected by strangers.‎ B. We are connected and form a social network.‎ C. We have negative effects on other social members.‎ D. We will not make a difference in a specific group.‎ ‎62. Why is a social network like a commonly owned forest?‎ A. Because it remains healthy and productive.‎ B. Because it tends to magnify negative things.‎ C. Because it is creative and shared by people in the whole society.‎ D. Because what it creates can be enjoyed by everyone in the network. ‎ ‎63. We can learn from paragraph 4 that ________.‎ A. whether we are richer depends on the number of friends we make B. the wealth we possess has nothing to do with individual continuous efforts C. sometimes our success may be largely due to our position in social networks D. we won’t succeed unless we fully control the overall structure of the network ‎64. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?‎ A. To introduce the characteristics of social networks.‎ B. To urge people to understand how our society works.‎ C. To show the significance of understanding social networks.‎ D. To explain the possible consequences of ignoring social networks.‎ D Myth（神话）was born in childhood of human being. It is a product of ancient imaginations, which can conquer nature, dominate nature and make the power of nature have its own image. It is a cultural phenomenon in civilized society. China and Greece are birthplaces of Orient and Western civilizations. Prime Minister Constantine Caramanlis of Greece once pointed out: "The civilization of China brought light to the Far East and the whole of Asia, as Greece thought, the cornerstone of European civilization, brought light to the West. " However, for some reasons, there are many differences between Chinese and Greek myth, which show their own unique national spirits and moral principles.‎ The ancestors of Chinese nation lived on land before one million and seven hundred thousand years. After long uncivilized times, ancient Chinese gradually created civilization. In prehistory, ancient Chinese lived and struggled. Most ancestors' achievements of tribes have been passed down orally. This is old myth. According to some archaeological materials, single myth, which has the meaning of totem (图腾), had appeared in the Late Palaeolthic Age. As the mental belief, totem is the holiest and the most beautiful symbol in ancient tribes' mind. It is their aesthetic conception (审美观). On the contrary, the history of Greece is shorter, and Greek myth produced later than Chinese myth. It produced in about eleventh century BC, and it was far from the age of totem worship. That was the Age of Heroes. Human wisdom had been more and more important and totem worship had tended to disappear. So ancient Greeks thought that human being was the most beautiful in the world.‎ ‎ They gave their deities (神灵) the most beautiful images. Those are images of human beings.‎ China lies in an isolated pocket in East Asia, surrounded by impassable mountains, deserts, seas and valleys. This environment develops a continental culture where people are only looking inward, a farming culture centers on soil, discouraging any adventurous see-faring people. In addition, Chinese myth produced in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Valley. In both zones, the volume of rain is abundant all the year round. Because the soil is fertile and the resources are rich, both areas are suitable for agriculture. It became the typical continental agriculture. They would not like to take their own lives to struggle with terrifying waves, but would rather work hard in gentle land. Just the ancient Chinese who lived in this continent created this unique myth, ancient Chinese myth.‎ Contrary to China, Greece is a poor country, barren and dry. Unlike the rich river valleys Yellow River and Yangtze River, its rivers are too small to be navigable, and they dry up in the heat of the mostly rainless summers. The Greek landscape is dominated by high mountains, which occupy about three quarters of the land. As rich land was limited in Greece, to survive, ancient Greeks had to look outward. Sea is the greatest Greek natural resource. It plays a central role in the life of Greeks. The Chinese seas don't look navigable, but the Greek seas look like swimming pools. The Chinese sailor, if he happens to be bold, sails for days without any land in sight. In fact, he can easily get drowned before he has a chance to get anywhere. The Greek sailor, who is always fortunate, can spot islands in all directions on clear days. With these stepping-stones, he can reach any part of the Mediterranean to trade, to stay, to conquer and to colonize. They like to learn advanced technique and cultures from other countries. This provided living space for independence of Greek myth. Frankly speaking, marine civilization created the great Greek myth. ‎ ‎65. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The differences between Chinese and Greek myth.‎ B. The definition of myths and why they came into existence.‎ C. The reasons for the differences between Chinese and Greek myth.‎ D. The factors resulting in Chinese myth being more advanced than Greek myth.‎ ‎66. What can we know about the author according to what he writes in this passage?‎ A. He has a strong affection for his country's civilizations.‎ B. He holds a positive attitude towards the study of myth.‎ C. He agrees with Constanitine in terms of Greek Myth.‎ D. He presents his main point of view in an objective tone.‎ ‎67. What can we infer from the 3d paragraph?‎ A. Chinese myth came into being 1.7 million years earlier than Greek myth.‎ B. The appearance of totem marked the birth of Chinese civilization.‎ C. Deities in Greek myth are wiser and more beautiful than Chinese ones.‎ D. The time when the myth produced has great influence on its images.‎ ‎68. The author writes the 4h and 5h paragraphs mainly to A. display the geographical differences between China and Greece B. compare the agriculture civilization and the marine civilization C. show how environment causes the differences of the two myths D. reveal why Chinese are more conservative than western people ‎69. What does the underlined word “marine” in the last sentence most probably mean?‎ A. of advanced level B. of or relating to the sea C. independent of anything D. willing to make adventures ‎70.

They are not sure what to do to maximize returns in light of stock market fluctuations, new tax laws, low interest rates and skyrocketing real estate values. “People are afraid of making a mistake and losing more money,"” says financial counselor Denise Hughes. "The do-it-yourself investor of the 1990s is more comfortable now doing nothing." But doing nothing isn't better than doing something smart. Here's what financial advisors are recommending to their clients:‎ Plan for financial aid. Most parents don't save nearly enough for children's education. They assume that investing in a 529 college plan is the best choice for your savings. While a 529 plan offers tax-free growth and withdrawals for college costs, colleges look at these savings when evaluating their qualification and how much they will hand over. Do save aggressively for college in a taxable account in your name if your household income is below $ 100,000. In this case, your child will be likely accessible to some financial aid. Do invest in a 529 savings plan if your income is higher than $100,000 and will likely remain at or above that level when your child ‎ enters college. In this case, the 529 plan is great because you probably won't qualify for financial aid anyway.‎ Expect ups and downs. Annoyed by three straight years of stock market declines, many people have been shifting to lower-risk investments. But just as taking too much risk can hurt your portfolio's(投资组合) growth rate, so can hiding out in excessive（过度的）safe investments. Do consider investing in funds that you'll hold on to for more than a year. Under the new tax law, long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum of 15%, down from 20%. Do look at stock funds that pay dividends (红利). Dividends on stocks used to be taxed at your personal income tax rate. Under the new law, they are now taxed at no more than 15%. Investing in these funds will not only hold down taxes but also sustain your portfolio's value in tough times.‎ Forget high fees. Over the next ten years, achieving the kind of double-digit returns we experienced over the past 20 years will be much harder. In the 1990s, the average rate of return for a portfolio allocated (配给) 60% to stocks and 40% to bonds was 13.2% after taxes and transaction expenses. Over the coming decade, this rate is expected to be closer to 5.5%. Don't pay unnecessarily high investment costs and fees. For example, if you can save half a percentage point on your fund expense ratio(the fee that funds charge you each year to manage your money), your average investment return could be 6% instead of 5%.‎ How to manage your money Introduction to the topic ‎◆Many people become passive investors for (71) ‎ that they make mistakes and suffer a loss of more money.‎ ‎◆ In face of the trouble, doing something smart makes sense.‎ Plan for financial aid ‎◆(73) are made that a 529 plan is the best choice for everyone’s savings.‎ ‎◆If your family earns less than $100, 000, save aggressively for college in a taxable account in your name and (74) are that your child will have (75) to some financial aid.‎ ‎◆If your family earns more than &100,000 and will possibly remain at or above that level when your child enters college, ‎ a 529 plan (76) you best because you probably won’t ‎ have the qualification for aid anyway.‎ ‎(72) on managing money Expect your ups and downs ‎◆ Excessive safe investments as well as (77) ones hurt your portfolio growth rate.‎ ‎◆(78) in funds that you will hold on to for more than a year, for under the new tax law long-term capital gains are less taxed.‎ ‎◆Invest in stock funds that pay dividends, which can not only hold down the taxes but also make your portfolio’s value (79)‎ ‎ in tough times.‎ Forget high fees ‎(80) paying unnecessarily high investment costs and fees, and you will increase your average investment return.‎ 第五部分：书面表达（满分25分） ‎ ‎81请认真阅读下面有关“有声读物”（audio books)的图表及相关文字，并按照要求用英语与 一篇150词左右的文章。‎ An audio book is a recording of a text being read.
