Then blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. IS DIVERSIFICATION DEAD? With the world’s major economies 16 A moving in sync these days, many economists argue that the 17 C no longer makes sense for businesses and investors. After all, why put your eggs in lots of baskets if all the baskets 18 D at the same time? But others contend that while the world’s major economies are certainly more 19 than they used to be, we’re far from the point where they all move in unison. 20 factors, they say, still affect local economic conditions. And diversification can exist if investors look at it beyond geographic 21 . “The linkages are growing,” says Kenneth Rogoff, chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, “so the 22 of it raining in three places at once go up. But that doesn’t mean that every time it rains in one place, it rains everywhere else.” Still, there’s no denying that globalization has changed the way companies and investors think about diversification. When the German economy used to 23 , Robert Salzl, the head of a German company that leases airplanes and operates a hotel chain, would find profits in Asia or the U.S. to 24 losses at home. But with economies now more connected, that’s not so easy. “In the past, there were always strong regional markets you could 25 into,” says Mr. Salzl, chief executive of Munish-based Arabella Hotel Holding AG. “Now, it’s difficult to find any market that has strength.” 第 2 页 共 10 页 16.

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 the Answer Sheet. Questions 26 to 64 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 Exquisitely adapted for life in one of Earth’s harshest environments, polar bears can survive for 20 years or more on the Arctic Circle’s glacial ice. At home in a waste where temperatures reach minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit, these largest members of the bear family are a striking example of natural selection at work. With two layers of fur over a subcutaneous (皮下) layer of fat, polar bears are well adapted to resist heat loss. Their broad, snowshoe-like paws and sharp, curved claws enable them to traverse the ice with ease. Formidable hunters, these monarchs of the icy waste even possess the capacity to scent prey from a distance of 20 miles. Passage 2 Top predator of the arctic ecosystem, the polar bear preys on beluga whales, narwhals, muskoxen, walruses, hares, geese, and seals. In the mid-twentieth century this fearsome killer became the prey of even more deadly killers, trophy hunters and commercial hide hunters who came close to decimating the polar bear population. For a time, the 1973 signing of the international Polar Bear Agreement, which prohibited the capture and killing of polar bears and protected their habitats, reduced the danger of polar bear extinction. Today, however, polar bears face a new threat, as increasing arctic pollution endangers their environment with chemical toxins. 26. In the final sentence of Passage 1, “capacity” most nearly means __A____. A. ability B. stature C. quantity D. intelligence 27. Unlike Passage 2, Passage 1 is concerned primarily with the _D_____. A. harsh living conditions in the Arctic Circle B. mechanics of natural selection C. increasing decline of the polar bear population D. physical characteristics of polar bears 第 3 页 共 10 页 28. Unlike the author of Passage 1, the author of Passage 2 does which of the following?A A. proposes a solution B. explains a study C. quotes an authority D. establishes a time frame 29. Which generalization about polar bears is supported by both passages?C A. They are threatened by other predators. B. They are well adapted to a changing environment. C. They are notable predators. D. They move at a rapid rate. Questions 30–33 are based on the following passage. Passage 3 The following passage is taken from Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion. In this excerpt we meet Sir Walter Elliot, father of the heroine. Vanity was the beginning and end of Sir Walter Elliot’s character: vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth, and at fifty-four was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet (男仆) of any new-made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society. He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy （男爵爵位）; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion. His good looks and his rank had one fair claim on his attachment, since to them he must have owed a wife of very superior character to anything deserved by his own. Lady Elliot had been an excellent woman, sensible and amiable, whose judgment and conduct, if they might be pardoned the youthful, foolish passions which made her Lady Elliot, had never required indulgence afterwards. She had humored, or softened, or concealed his failings, and promoted his real respectability for seventeen years; and though not the very happiest being in the world herself, had found enough in her duties, her friends, and her children, to attach her to life, and make it no matter of indifference to her when she was called on to quit them. Three girls, the two eldest sixteen and fourteen, was an awful legacy for a mother to bequeath（遗赠）, an awful charge rather, to confide to the authority and guidance of a conceited, silly father. She had, however, one very intimate friend, a sensible, deserving woman, who had been brought, by strong attachment to herself, to settle close by her, in the village of Kellynch; and on her kindness and advice Lady Elliot mainly relied for the best help and maintenance of the good principles and instruction which she had been anxiously giving her daughters. This friend and Sir Walter did not marry, whatever might have been anticipated on that head by their acquaintance. Thirteen years had passed away since Lady Elliot’s death, and they were still near neighbors and intimate friends, and one remained a widower, the other a widow. 30. According to the passage, Sir Walter Elliot’s vanity centered on his__D____. I. physical attractiveness II. possession of a title 第 4 页 共 10 页
