Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Cancer is the world's top "economic killer" as well as its likely leading cause of death.Cancer costs more in 36 and lost life than AIDS,malaria,the flu and other diseases that spread person-to-person.Chronic diseases including cancer,heart disease and diabetes 37 for more than 60 percent of deaths worldwide but less than 3 percent of public and private 38 for global health,said Rachel Nugent of the Center for Global Development,a Washington-based policy research group.Money shouldn't be taken away from fighting diseases that 39 person-to-person,but the amount 40 to cancer is way out of whack (重击）with the impact it has,said Otis Brawley,the cancer society's chief medical officer.
Cancer's economic toll (损耗）was $895 billion in 2008—equivalent to 1.5 percent of the world's gross 41 product,the report says.That's in terms of disability and years of life lost—not the cost of treating the disease,which wasn't addressed in the report.Many groups have been pushing for more attention to non-infectious causes of death,and the United Nations General Assembly has set a meeting on this a year from now.Some policy experts are 42 it to the global initiative that led to big increases in spending on AIDS nearly a decade ago."This needs to be discussed at the UN—how we are going to deal with this rising burden of 43 disease",said Dr.Andreas Ullrich,medical officer for cancer control at WHO.

Section B
Directions: In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Five Problems Financial Reform Doesn't Fix
A）The legislation concerning financial reform focuses on helping regulators detect and defuse (减少……的危险性）the next crisis.But it doesn't address many of the underlying conditions that can cause problems.
B）The legislation gives regulators the power to oversee shadow banks and take failing firms apart,convenes a council of superregulators to watch the megafirms that pose a risk to the full financial system,and much else.
C）But the bill does more to help regulators detect the next financial crisis than to actually stop it from happening.In that way,it's like the difference between improving public health and improving medicine:The bill focuses on helping the doctors who figure out when you're sick and how to get you better rather than on the conditions (sewer systems and air quality and hygiene standards and so on）that contribute to whether you get sick in the first place.
D）That is to say,many of the weaknesses and imbalances that led to the financial crisis will survive our regulatory response,and it's important to keep that in mind.So here are five we still have to watch out for:
1.The Global Glut (供过于求）of Savings
E）"One of the leading indicators of a financial crisis is when you have a sustained surge in money flowing into the country which makes borrowing cheaper and easier," says Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff.Our crisis was no different:Between 1987 and 1999,our current account deficit—the measure of how much money is coming in versus going out—fluctuated between 1 and 2 percent of gross domestic product.By 2006,it had hit 6 percent.
F）The sharp rise was driven by emerging economies with lots of growth and few investment opportunities—think China—funneling their money to developed economies with less growth and lots of investment opportunities.But we've gotten out of the crisis without fixing it.China is still growing fast,exporting faster,and sending the money over to US.
2.Household Debt—and Why We Need It
G）The fact that money is available to borrow doesn't explain why Americans borrowed so much of it.Household debt as a percentage of GDP went from a bit less than 60 percent at the beginning of the 1990s to a bit less than 100 percent in 2006."This is where I come to income inequality," says Raghuram Rajan,an economist at the University of Chicago."A large part of the population saw relatively stagnant incomes over the 1980s and 1990s.Credit was so welcome because it kept people who were falling behind reasonably happy.You were keeping up,even if your income wasn't."
H）Incomes,of course,are even more stagnant now that unemployment is at 9 percent.And that pain isn't being shared equally:inequality has actually risen since before the recession,as joblessness is proving sticky among the poor,but recovery has been swift for the rich.Household borrowing is still more than 90 percent of GDP,and the conditions that drove it up there are,if anything,worse.
3.The "Shadow Banking" Market
I）The financial crisis started out similarly severe,but it wasn't,at first,a crisis of consumers.It was a crisis of banks.It never became a crisis of consumers because consumer deposits are insured.But large investors—pension funds,banks,corporations,and others—aren't insured.But when they hear that their collateral (附属担保品）is dropping in value,they demand their money back.And when everyone does that at once,it's like an old-fashioned bank run:The banks can't pay everyone off at once,so they unload all their assets to get capital,the assets become worthless because everyone is trying to unload them,and the banks collapse.
J）"This is an inherent problem of privately created money," says Gary Gorton,an economist at Princeton University."It is vulnerable to these kinds of runs." This year,we're bringing this shadow banking system under the control of regulators and giving them all sorts of information on it and power over it,but we're not doing anything like deposit insurance,where we simply make the deposits safe so runs become an anachronism.
4.Rich Banks
K）In the 1980s,the financial sector's share of total corporate profits ranged from about 10 to 20 percent.By 2004,it was about 35 percent.Simon Johnson,an economist at MIT,recalls a conversation he had with a fund manager."The guy said to me,'Simon,it's so little money! You can sway senators for $10 million!?'" Johnson laughs ruefully (后悔地）."These guys [big investors] don't even think in millions.They think in billions."
L）What you get for that money is favors.The last financial crisis fades from memory and the public begins to focus on other things.Then the finance guys begin nudging (游说）.They hold some fundraisers for politicians,make some friends,explain how the regulations they're under are onerous and unfair.And slowly,surely,those regulations come undone.This financial crisis will stick in our minds for a while,but not forever.And after briefly dropping to less than 15 percent of corporate profits,the financial sector has rebounded to more than 30 percent.They'll have plenty of money with which to help their friends forget this whole nasty affair.
5.Lax(不严格的）Regulators
M）The most troubling prospect is the chance that this bill,if we'd passed it in 2000,wouldn't even have prevented this financial crisis.That's not to undersell it:It would've given regulators more information with which to predict the crisis.But they had enough information,and they ignored it.They get caught up in boom times just like everyone else.A bubble,almost by definition,affects the regulators with the power to pop it.
N）In 2005,with housing prices running far,far ahead of the historical trend,Bernanke said a housing bubble was "a pretty unlikely possibility".In 2007,he said Fed officials "do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy." Alan Greenspan,looking back at the financial crisis,admitted in April that regulators "have had a woeful record of chronic failure.History tells us they cannot identify the timing of a crisis,or anticipate exactly where it will be located or how large the losses and spillovers will be."
46.In the 1980s and 1990s people experienced no substantial increase in terms of income,which brought about the popularity of credit.【答案精解】
47.Financial crisis is a crisis of banks in that shadow banking may cause banks to fail.【答案精解】
48.The finance guys make friends with politicians in the hopes of making some burdensome and unfair regulations cancelled.【答案精解】
49.The legislation concerning financial reform offers regulators the power of supervising shadow banks and disintegrating companies on the verge of bankruptcy.【答案精解】
50.In terms of the effect of unemployment,it is more deeply felt by the poor than by the rich.【答案精解】
51.Even there was enough information to predict there would be financial crisis,the regulators still chose to ignore it.【答案精解】
52.Emerging economies with insufficient investment opportunities have invested much money in developed countries.【答案精解】
53.Regulators with power tended to fail again and again concerning forecasting a financial crisis.【答案精解】
54.A fund manager or large investor is considered absurdly rich by an economist from MIT.【答案精解】
55.Large investors' deposits can be made safer if shadow banking system is under the control of regulators.【答案精解】
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A）,B）,C）and D）.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
The unique human habit of taking in and employing animals—even competitors like wolves—spurred on human tool-making and language,which have both driven humanity's success,Pat Shipman says,paleoanthropologist of Penn State University."Wherever you go in the world,whatever ecosystem (生态系统）,whatever culture,people live with animals," Shipman said.
For early humans,taking in and caring for animals would seem like a poor strategy for survival."On the face of it,you are wasting your resources.So this is a very weird behavior," Shipman said.But it's not so weird in the context something else humans were doing about 2.6 million years ago:switching from a mostly vegetarian diet to one rich in meat.This happened because humans invented stone hunting tools that enabled them to compete with other top predators.Quite a rapid and bizarre switch for any animal.So we invented the equipment,learned how to track and kill,and eventually took in animals who also knew how to hunt—like wolves and other canines.Others,like goats,cows and horses,provided milk,hair and,finally,hides and meat.
Managing all of these animals—or just tracking them—requires technology,knowledge and ways to preserve and convey information.So languages had to develop and evolve to meet the challenges.Tracking game has even been argued to be the origin of scientific inquiry,said Peter Richerson,professor emeritus (名誉退休的）in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California,Davis.One of the signs that this happened is in petroglyphs (史前岩画）and other rock art left by ancient peoples.At first they were abstract,geometric patterns that are impossible to decipher (破译）.Then they converge on one subject:animals.
There have also been genetic changes in both humans and our animals.For the animals those changes developed because human bred them for specific traits,like a cow that gives more milk or a hen that lays more eggs.But this evolutionary influence works both ways.Dogs,for instance,might have been selectively taken in by humans who shared genes for more compassion.Those humans then prospered with the dogs' help in hunting and securing their homes.
56.What do we learn from the first paragraph about animals?
A）Animals have driven humanity's success.
B）Making tools and using language are uniquely human habits.
C）Employing wolves is uniquely human habit.
D）People live with animals everywhere.【答案精解】
