2008年美国的金融危机波及全球，美国“黑马”将如何应对?还是通过20国峰会?让我们重温历史，面对现实。请阅读下面三则材料，然后回答问题。
材料一：1936年，英国经济学家凯恩斯发表了《就业、利息和货币通论》一书，从理论上总结了资本主义国家“反危机”的经验，提出了完整的国家对经济实行宏观调控理论。这一理论成为战后几乎所有资本主义国家所接受和采纳的主流经济理论。
材料二：战后，西方资本主义国家普遍实行了“高工资、高消费、高福利”为标志的社会福利政策和制度。从战后到50年代中期，形成的是低标准的社会福利制度；从50年代中期到70年代，进一步发展为由一系列社会福利措施和项目所形成的具有较高水平的社会福利制度；70年代以后，这一制度更加趋于完善。
材料三：以美国为首的发达资本主义国家，利用其居于支配地位的国际经济旧秩序，运用现代经济机制和手段，推行新殖民主义，“文明”“精巧”地剥削和控制发展中国家。他们通过不合理的社会分工，不平等的对外贸易，跨国公司的经济控制，跨国银行的重利盘剥；技术转让的高额勒索手段，加强对发展中国家的剥削，使发展中国家同发达国家的差距进一步拉大。――以上材料均摘自赵曜《资本主义在20世纪的变化》
回答：
(1)据材料一，英国经济学家凯恩斯为什么能够提出对经济实行宏观调控的理论?(6分)
(2)材料二，反映在资本主义社会福利制度与材料一的凯恩斯理论有何关系?这种制度主一要受到什么启示?(6分)
(3)材料三，反映的现象今天在我们国家是否存在?试举例加以说明。(7分)

Spending lesson
Has the recent economic downturn affected your life? For many young Chinese, it has driven them to embrace a far more frugal (节俭的) lifestyle.
Wang Hao, 24, is a Beijing office worker. He made a resolution in June last year to limit his weekly living expenses to 100 yuan. That's the cost of eight Big Macs in China.
"The financial crisis has taught a spending lesson to young people in China, including me," said Wang, who posted his resolution on his blog, which has drawn over 200,000 hits.
As the financial crisis affects the economy, white-collar workers speak of shrinking (缩减的) bonuses. Some are unemployed. And university students are facing the worst job prospects since China's economic reform began 30 years ago.
To save money, people have started to share dinners, houses, taxis and other activities with strangers they meet online. Web users post their activities on sites, such as www.Pinkewang.com and invite others to join them. Lin Xiongbo, the founder of Pinkewang, said his website saw a 100 percent increase of visitors last November after the global financial crisis broke.
People are also using websites like Lin's to share other activity ideas such as training programs, sports, and entertainments.
"Sharing activities with others can save a lot of money without lowering one's quality of life," said 27-year-old Xu Li. He's a manager at a public relations firm and a long-time user of websites like Pinkewang.
It was on the Internet that Xu recently found another person to take part in an English training program with him. By joining the program with another person, he and his partner received a 10 percent discount for the course, saving them more than 1,000 yuan.
Young Chinese born in the 80s used to be accused of being materialistic. They favored designer clothes and the latest electronic products, and many of them spent their monthly salaries rather than saving them. They became known as the "Yueguang group".
However, since the economy slowed down, this lifestyle has lost much of its charm. Now, more and more young Chinese consider saving money to be more fashionable than spending.
The frugal lifestyles these young Chinese are embracing seem to be accepted by the authorities too. In a commentary published in the People's Daily recently, the writer said frugality did not conflict with the government's demand-stimulating (刺激需求的) policies, as it called for reasonable rather than reckless (不计后果的) spending.
"Frugal lifestyles should become a fashion, especially
in the financial crisis," said the writer Wang Jinyou.

NEW YORK―So we’re going away on weekends and sticking close to home. But are we traveling with the kids? Here’s how the down economy is changing the way we travel.
SECONDARY CITIES
Some smaller cities are stealing the glory. Fort Myers, Fla. experienced double digit (位数) growth in January 2009 over January 2008, based on American Express Travel bookings. Cities like Portland, Ore. are also becoming popular destinations, with Travelocity data showing an increase of 38% over last year. Even Philadelphia’s star is rising, said Travelocity senior editor Shaw Brown.
Brown said it’s hard to explain exactly the reason for the boom: it could be a decrease in airfare or hotel prices or excellent marketing. Hotel rates in Fort Myers are down about 10%. But hotel rates in Portland are up, she said. She thinks Philadelphia’s higher popularity is due to good marketing, a decrease in airfare of 16% compared to the overall 8% decrease for domestic flights and more interest in historic destinations in general.
FAMILY TRAVEL
Rather than take a two-week vacation to Europe, families are going to national parks.
David
Mandt, spokesman for the Association of Amusement Parks, is cautiously
optimistic about the summer season. He said even when gas was $
While for years, park operators have used special offers, promotions and discounts to encourage families to visit at a specific time, the deals may be easier to find this year, especially when it comes to packages that include accommodations. Universal Orlando Resort has a deal allowing families to book a three-night package and receive two additional nights free. Packages include accommodations at a hotel near Universal and unlimited theme park admission to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
60. It can be inferred from the news report that ________.
A. the number of visitors to Fort Myers doubled in a year
B. secondary cities didn’t enjoy much popularity before
C. people visit smaller cities because hotel rates are down
D. visitors are more interested in historic destinations now
61. The writer describes what Universal Orlando Resort offers in order to show ________.
A. that some packages are easier to find this year B. where families go for their vacation this year
C. why people prefer parks closer to their homes D. how families choose packages for their vacation
62. What is the best title for the news report?
A. Trip destinations closer to home B. Trip offerings on the increase
C. Special travel packages for everyone D. Travel trends in a down economy

Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible. Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed. As a member of that group, you would likely inherit that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself, fearing that your investment (投资)would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not inherently talented would probably be a major obstacle(障碍) to investing your energy in your dream.
On the other hand, if you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the likelihood of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas, dreams, and visions we carry within is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market. And in both cases, belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something. One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think. There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in, such as passion, feeling, and sense. Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work.
In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart’s desires and our sense to guide us, questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.
63. We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that .
A. our belief is not reliable. B. belief is an obstacle to our success.
C. belief is not so important in our success. D. our belief determines our success in some way.
64. According to the passage, if a family of origin has passion for literature, the members of the family will probably .
A. teach literature B. hate literature C. write poems D. enter the field of literature
65. We can put our faith in the following things of success except .
A. passion B. feeling C. sense D. stock market
66. The purpose of the author is .
A. to teach us a lesson B. to give us some useful suggestions
C. to tell us that our belief is not reliable D. to encourage us to invest in the stock market

The news of the great fight at Waterloo was published in the Gazette. After the statement of the victory came the list of the wounded and killed. George’s name among the latter was a terrible shock to the Osborne family and its chief. The old father was weighed down by his deep sorrow, but whatever his feelings of guilt and regret for the past, the stern（stubborn and strict）old man never mentioned his son’s name.
About three weeks later a letter was sent on to him by Dobbin, now promoted to major. It was George’s farewell to his father, written at dawn on the day of the battle.
The poor boy’s letter did not say much. He was too proud to show his feelings. He only wished his father goodbye, and begged for his help for his wife, and it might be the child, whom he left behind. He spoke regretfully of his former waste of money, thanked his father for his generosity in the past, and promised that whether he fell on the field, or lived through the battle, he would act in a manner worthy of his family name.
Mr. Osborne dropped the letter with the bitterest feeling of disappointed love and revenge(报复). His son was still beloved and unforgiven.
Towards the end of the autumn, the old man told his daughters that he was going abroad. He did not say where, but they knew at once that his steps would be turned towards Belgium, and that George’s widow was still in Brussels.
Many of the wounded were still there, recovering. After visiting his son’s grave, Mr. Osborne easily found some of George’s regiment(步兵团). He was coming out of his hotel when he saw a soldier with a bandaged arm, in the well-known uniform, on a bench in the park. He sat down trembling by the wounded man.
“Did you know Captain Osborne?” he asked, and added, after a pause, “he was my son, sir.”
The man lifted his unwounded arm and touched his cap sadly. “The whole army didn’t contain a finer or a better officer,” he said. He told the old man that one of George’s fellows was in town just getting over a shot in the shoulder. He would be able to tell him anything he wanted to know.
Guided in this way, Mr. Osborne made the journey to Waterloo and went over the field. He saw the spot where George had cut down the French officer who was trying to seize the regimental flag, and the place where the young captain, rushing down the hill and waving his sword, received a shot and fell.
As he was driving back to the gates of the city at sunset, old Osborne met another carriage. He drew quickly back. He saw Amelia, her face white and thin, her hair parted under a widow’s cap. Her eyes were fixed and looking nowhere. She did not know him, nor, until he saw Dobbin by her side, did he recognize her.
He hated her. He did not know much, until he saw her there.
Dobbin turned and rode back to him.
“Mr. Osborne! Mr. Osborne!” he cried. “I have a message for you.”
“From that woman?” said Osborne fiercely.
“No,” replied the other, “from your son. I’m here as his closest friend, and in charge of his will. Are you aware how small an amount he has left, and the poor circumstances of his widow? Do you know her condition ― that her life and her mind have been shaken by the blow that has fallen upon her? She will be a mother soon. Will you forgive the poor child, for George? ”
“I don’t know his widow, sir,” was the reply. “Let her go back to her father. I will never speak to her, or recognize her.”
67. Waterloo, according to the passage, was probably in ______.
A. England B. Gazette C. Belgium D. France
68. The underlined words getting over in the middle of the passage means ______.
A. recovering from B. suffering from C. handing over D. taking over
69. The third paragraph of the passage may lead you to believe that ______.
A. George had probably spent money too wastefully in the past
B. Mr. Osborne had been very generous and kind to his son in the past
C. George had behaved himself so well that he was worthy of respect of the family
D. George had acted so well at the battle that his father forgave him
70. Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A. George must have fought bravely at the battle.
B. George’s regiment fought against the French soldiers at the battle.
C. The army on George’s side won the victory in the end.
D. Before the battle George had written farewell to his father, his wife, and his child as well.
第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格处里填人最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格填1个单词。
I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.
Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.
Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.
You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It’s just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will.
Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.
If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.
Don’t try to tackle more things all at a time. All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.
Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money.
So, don’t be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.
