Why
would an animal kill itself? It seems a strange
question, and yet it is one that has
26
some
people
for
a
long
time.
The
lemming
(
旅鼠
)
is
one
such
animal.
Lemmings
periodically commit mass 27, and no one
knows just why!
The small
28, which inhabit the Scandinavian
mountains, sustain themselves on a diet
of roots and live in nests they make
underground. When their food supply is
29
large, the
lemmings live a normal, undisturbed
life.
However, when the lemmings' food supply
becomes too low to support the population, a
singular30
commences.
The
lemmings
leave
their
nests
all
together
at
the
same
time,
forming huge crowds. Great numbers of
the lemmings begin a long and hard journey across
the
Scandinavian plains, z journey that
may last weeks. The lemmings eat everything in
their path,
continuing their
31
march until
they reach the sea.
The
reason
for
what
follows
remains
a
mystery
for
zoologists
and
naturalists.
Upon
reaching
the
coast,
the
lemmings
do
not
stop
but
swim
by
the
thousands
into
the
surf.
Most
32
only a short time before they tire,
sink, and drown.
A common theory for this unusual
phenomenon is that the lemmings do not realize
that
the
ocean
is
such
33
water.
In
their
cross-country
journey,
the
animals
must
traverse
many smaller bodies
of water, such as rivers and small lakes. They may

that the sea is
just another
such swimmable

has been found to the mystery.

letter on
Answer Sheet 2.
Inequality Is
Not Inevitable
A)
A
dangerous
trend
has
developed
over
this
past
third
of
a
century.
A
country
that
experienced shared growth after World
War
Ⅱ
began to
tear apart, so much so that when the
Great Recession hit in late 2007, one
could no longer ignore the division that had come
to define
the
American
economic
landscape.
How
did
this
city
on
a
hill
become
the
advanced
country with the greatest level of
inequality?
B)
Over
the
past
year
and
a
half,
The
Great
Divide,
a
series
in
The
New
York
Times,
has
presented
a
wide
range
of
examples
that
undermine
the
notion
that
there
are
any
truly
fundamental
laws
of
capitalism.
The
dynamics
of
the
imperial
capitalism
of
the
19th
century
needn't
apply
in
the
democracies
of
the
21st.
We
don't
need
to
have
this
much
inequality
in
America.
C)
Our
current
brand
of
capitalism
is
a
fake
capitalism.
For
proof
of
this
go
back
to
our
response
to the Great Recession, where we socialized
losses, even as we privatized gains. Perfect
competition should drive profits to
zero, at least theoretically, but we have
monopolies making
persistently high
profits. C. E. O. s enjoy incomes that are on
average 295 times that of the typical
worker, amuch higher ratio han in the
past, without any evidence of a proportionate
increase in
productivity.
D)If it is not the cruel
laws of economics that have led to America's great
divide, what is it?
The
straightforward
answer.,
our
policies
and
our
politics.
People
get
tired
of
hearing
about
Scandinavian success stories, but the
fact of the matter is that Sweden, Finland and
Norway have
all succeeded in having
about as much or faster growth in per capita
(
人均的
) incomes
than the
United States and with far
greater equality.
E)
So
why
has
America
chosen
these
inequality-enhancing
policies?
Part
of
the
answer
is
that as World War
Ⅱ
faded into
memory, so too did the solidarity it had created.
As America
triumphed
in
the
Cold
War,
there
didn't
seem
to
be
a
real
competitor
to
our
economic
model. Without this internat~
competition, we no longer had to show
that our system could
deliver for most
of our citizens.
F) Ideology and interests combined
viciously. Some drew the wrong lesson from the
collapse
of the Soviet
system in 1991.
The pendulum swung from much too much government
there
to much too little here.
Corporate interests argued for getting
rid of regulations, even when
those
regulations had done so
much to protect and improve
our environment, our safety, our
health
and the economy itself.
G) But this ideology was hypocritical
(
虚伪的
). The bankers, among
the strongest advocates
of
laissez-
faire
(
自由放任的
)
economics,
were
only
too
willing
to
accept
hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars
from
the
government
in
the
aid
programs
that
have
been
a
recurring
feature
of
the
global
economy
since
the
beginning
of
the
Thatcher-Reagan
era
of
markets and
deregulation.
H) The American political system is
overrun by money. Economic inequality translates
into
political
inequality,
and
political
inequality
yields
increasing
economic
inequality.
So
corporate
welfare
increases as we reduce welfare for the
poor. Congress maintains subsidies
for
rich farmers as we cut
back on nutritional support
for the needy. Drug companies have
been
given
hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars
as
we
limit
Medicaid
benefits.
The
banks
that
brought
on
the
global
financial
crisis
got
billions
while
a
tiny
bit
went
to
the homeowners
and victims of the same banks'
predatory (
掠夺性的
) lending
practices. This last decision was
particularly foolish. There were
alternatives to throwing money at the
banks and
hoping it
would circulate through
increased lending.
I) Our divisions are deep. Economic and
geographic segregation has immunized those at the
top from the
problems of those down
below. Like the kings of ancient times, they have
come
to perceive their
privileged
positions essentially as a natural right.
J) Our economy,
our democracy and our society have paid for these
gross inequalities. The
true test of an
economy is not how much wealth its
princes can accumulate in tax havens
(
庇
护所
), but how
well off
the typical citizen is. But average
incomes are lower than they were a
quarter-century
ago.
Growth
has
gone
to
the
very,
very
top,
whose
share
has
almost
increased
four
times
since 1980.
Money
that
was
meant
to
have
trickled
(
流淌
)
down
has
instead
evaporated in the agreeable climate of the Cayman
Islands.
K) With almost a
quarter of American children younger than 5 living
in poverty, and with America
doing
so
little for its poor, the deprivations of one
generation are being visited upon the next.
Of course, no
country has ever come close
to providing complete equality of opportunity. But
why
is
America
one
of
the
advanced
countries
where
the
life
prospects
of
the
young
are
most
sharply determined by the
income and education of
their parents?
L)
Among
the
most
bitter
stories
in
The
Great
Divide
were
those
that
portrayed
the
frustrations of the
young, who long
to enter our shrinking middle class. Soaring
tuitions and
declining
incomes
have
resulted
in
larger
debt
burdens.
Those
with
only
a
high
school
diploma have seen their incomes decline
by
13 percent over the past 35 years.
M)
Where
justice
is
concerned,
there
is
also
a
huge
divide.
In
the
eyes
of
the
rest
of
the
world and a
significant
part of its own population, mass imprisonment has
come to define
America--a country, it
bears repeating, with about 5 percent
of the
world's population but
around a fourth of the world's
prisoners.
N) Justice has becom~ a commodity,
affordable to only a few. While Wall Street
executives
used
their
expensive
lawyers
to ensure
that
their ranks
were
not
held
accountable
for
the
misdeeds that the crisis
in
2008 so graphically revealed, the banks abused our
legal system to
foreclose
(
取消赎回权
) on
mortgages and
eject tenants, some of whom did not even owe
money.
O)
More
than
a
half-century
ago,
America
led
the
way
in
advocating
for
the
Universal
Declaration of
Human Rights, adopted by
the United Nations in 1948. Today, access to
health
care
is
among
the
most
universally
accepted
rights,
at
least
in
the
advanced
countries.
America,
despite
the
implementation
of
the
Affordable
Care
Act,
is
the
exception.
In
the
relief that many felt when the Supreme
Court did not
overturn the Affordable Care Act, the
implications
of
the
decision
for
Medicaid
were
not
fully
appreciated.
Obamacare's
objective--to
ensure
that
all
Americans
have
access
to
health
care--has
been
blocked:
24
states
have
not
implemented
the
expanded
Medicaid
program,
which
was
the
means
by
which
Obamacare was supposed to deliver on its promise
to some of the poorest.
P) We need not just a new war on
poverty but a war to protect the middle class.
Solutions to
these
problems do not
have to be novel. Far from it. Making markets act
like markets would
be a good place
to
start. We must end the rent-seeking society we
have gravitated toward, in
which the
wealthy obtain
profits by manipulating the system.
Q) The problem
of inequality is not so much a matter of technical
economics. It's really a
problem
of
practical
politics.
Inequality
is
not
just
about
the
top
marginal
tax
rate
but
also
about
our
children's
access
to
food
and
the
right
to
justice
for
all.
If
we
spent
more
on
education,
health
and
infrastructure
(
基础设施
),
we
would
strengthen
our
economy,
now
and
in the future.

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.
I'll
admit
I've
never
quite
understood
the
obsession
(
难以破除的成见
)
surrounding
genetically
modified
(GM)
crops.
To
environmentalist
opponents,
GM
foods
are
simply
evil,
an
understudied.
possibly
harmful
tool
used
by
big
agricultural
businesses
to
control
global
seed
markets
and
crush
local
farmers.
They
argue
that
GM
foods
have
never
delivered
on
their
supposed promise, that
money spent on GM crops would be better channeled
to organic farming
and
that
consumers
should
be
protected
with
warning
labels
on
any
products
that
contain
genetically
modified
ingredients.
To
supporters,
GM
crops
are
a
key
part
of
the
effort
to
sustainably provide food to meet a
growing global population. But more than that,
supporters
see
the
GM
opposition
of
many
environmentalists
as
fundamentally
anti-science,
no
different
than those who
question the basics of man-made climate change.
For
both
sides,
GM
foods
seem
to
act
as
a
symbol:
you're
pro-agricultural
business
or
anti-science. But science
is exactly what we need more of when it comes to
GM foods, which is
why I was happy to
see Nature devote a special series of articles to
the GM food controversy. The
conclusion: while GM crops haven't yet
realized their initial promise and have been
dominated by
agricultural businesses,
there is reason to continue to use and develop
them to help meet the
enormous
challenge of Sustainably feeding a growing planet.
That
doesn't
mean
GM
crops
are
perfect,
or
a
one-size-fits-all
solution
to
global
agriculture problems. But anything that
can increase farming efficiency--the amount of
crops we
can produce per acre of land--
will be extremely useful. GM crops can and almost
certainly will be
part
of
that
suite
of
tools,
but
so
will
traditional
plant
breeding,
improved
soil
and
crop
management--and perhaps
most important of all, better storage and
transport infrastructure
(
基
础设施
),
especially in the developing world. (It doesn't do
much good for farmers in places like
sub-Saharan Africa to produce more food
if they can't get it to hungry consumers. ) I'd
like to see
more non-industry research
done on GM crops--not just because we'd worry
less about bias, but also because seed
companies like Monsanto and Pioneer shouldn't be
the
only
entities
working
to
harness
genetic
modification.
I'd
like
to
see
GM
research
on
less
commercial
crops,
like
corn.
I
don't
think
it's
vital
to
label
GM
ingredients
in
food,
but
I
also
wouldn't be against it
--and industry would be smart to go along with
labeling, just as a way of
removing
fears about the technology.
Most of all, though, I wish
a tenth of the energy that's spent endlessly
debating GM crops
was focused
on those more pressing challenges for
global agriculture. There are much bigger battles
to fight.

Passage
Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the
following passage.
Early decision--you apply to one
school, and admission is binding--seems like a
great choice
for
nervous
applicants.
Schools
let
in
a
higher
percentage
of
early-decision
applicants,
which
arguably means that you have a better
chance of getting in. And if you do, you're done
with the
whole agonizing process by
December. But what most students and parents don't
realize is that
schools have hidden
motives for offering early decision.
Early decision, since it's binding,
allows schools to fill their classes with
qualified students;
it
allows
admissions
committees
to
select
the
students
that
are
in
particular demand
for
their
college
and know those students will come. It also gives
schools a higher yield rate, which is often
used as one of the ways to measure
college selectivity and popularity.
The problem is that this process
effectively shortens the window of time students
have to
make
one
of
the
most
important
decisions
of
their
lives
up
to
that
point.
Under
regular
admissions, seniors
have until May 1 to choose which school to attend;
early decision effectively
steals six
months from them, months that could be used to
visit more schools, do more research,
speak to current students and alumni
(
校友
) and arguably make a
more informed decision.
There are, frankly, an astonishing
number of exceptional colleges in America, and for
any
given
student,
there
are
a
number
of
schools
that
are
a
great
fit.
When
students
become
too
fixated
(
专注
)
on
a
particular
school
early
in
the
admissions
process,
that
fixation
can
lead
to
severe disappointment if
they don't get in or, if they do, the possibility
that they are now bound
to go to a
school that, given time forfarther reflection, may
not actually be right for them.
Insofar as early decision offers a
genuine admissions edge, that advantage goes
largely to
students who already have
numerous advantages. The students who use early
decision tend to
be those who have
received higher-quality college guidance, usually
a result of coming from a
more
privileged
background.
In
this
regard,
there's
an
argument
against
early
decision,
as
students
from
lower-income
families
are
far
less
likely
to
have
the
admissions
know-how
to
navigate the often confusing early
deadlines.
Students
who
have
done
their
research
and
are
confident
that
there's
one
school
they
would
be
thrilled
to
get
into
should,
under
the
current
system,
probably
apply
under
early
decision.
But
for
students
who
haven't
yet
done
enough
research,
or
who
are
still
constantly
changing their minds on favorite
schools, the early-decision system needlessly and
prematurely
narrows the field of
possibility just at a time when students should be
opening themselves to a
whole range of
thrilling options.
