15．In cities with rent control，the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment．Supporters of rent control，argue that it protects people who are living in apartments．Their rent cannot increase； therefore，they are not in danger of losing their homes．However，the critics say that after a long time，rent control may have negative effects．Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits．Therefore，they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits．They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled．As a result，new apartments are not built．Many people who need apartments cannot find any．According to the critics，the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city．
Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way．The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers．The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled，low-paying jobs．However，if the minimum is high，employers may hire fewer workers．They will replace workers with machinery．Therefore，other things being equal，the number of workers that employers want decreases．Thus，critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment．Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage．
Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people，keep their dignity．Because of the law，workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum．Furthermore，employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages．
Economic theory predict the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production rent control and the minimum wage．The predictions may be correct only if"other things are equal"Economists do not agree on some of the predictions．They also do not agree on the value of different decisions．Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it．Economic do agree，however，that there are no simple answers to economic questions．

66．This passage shows that setting maximum rent mayD．
A．encourage the construction of more apartments
B．discourage the renting of apartments as homes
C．reduce the shortage of apartments
D．result in a shortage of apartments．

A．is completely unnecessary
B．will likely bring about undesired results
C．will bring positive effects in the long run
D．is necessary under all circumstances
68．The problem of unemployment may come up whenC．
A．he minimum wage is set too low           B．the workers are unskilled

A．the results of economic decisions can always be predicted

C．minimum wage can not protect employees

分析 文章討論的是政府控制經(jīng)濟(jì)的可能結(jié)果．

解答 66-70 DBCDB
66題答案是D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句According to the critics，the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city．批評(píng)家們認(rèn)為，房租管制最終會(huì)造成城市公寓的缺乏．可知A正確．
67題答案是B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容可知限制租賃價(jià)格會(huì)帶來一系列的影響，從長遠(yuǎn)來看會(huì)導(dǎo)致公寓數(shù)量的不足，以及一些其他的不夠積極的影響．故選B．
68題答案是C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段可知如果設(shè)立的最低工資過高，會(huì)讓企業(yè)不去雇傭更多的人，或者借助于機(jī)器．那樣就會(huì)有更多的人失業(yè)．故選C．
69題答案是D．主旨大意題．文章討論的是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家就政府控制的可能結(jié)果有不同的見解．故選D．
70題答案是B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段Economic theory predict the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production rent control and the minimum wage．The predictions may be correct only if"other things are equal"Economists do not agree on some of the predictions．They also do not agree on the value of different decisions．Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it．Economic do agree，however，that there are no simple answers to economic questions．經(jīng)濟(jì)理論預(yù)測了經(jīng)濟(jì)決策的結(jié)果，比如關(guān)于農(nóng)產(chǎn)品、房租管制和最低工資的決定；但是，這些預(yù)測僅僅在"其他條件不變的情況下"是正確的．經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們?cè)谀承╊A(yù)測方面并未取得一致意見．在不同決定的價(jià)值方面，他們也存在不同意見．有些經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家支持某個(gè)特別的決定，但另外一些人則對(duì)它提出批評(píng)．但是，經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們都同意，經(jīng)濟(jì)問題沒有簡單的答案．可知選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

5．Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．
Wide uptake of cholesterol-busting statin drugs（降膽固醇藥），healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular（心血管的）problems．
However，heart disease remains Britain's biggest killer．
The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．
The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000men in 2011，and 232per 100，000women．
Some nations-including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova-see more than 1，000heart deaths per 100，000of the population．
Overall，heart disease causes 45percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．
But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4million deaths in those aged under 75and nearly 700，000deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said：‘Cardiovascular disease results in 49percent of deaths among women and 41per cent among men．'

33．From the text we can knowD．
A．heart disease no longer threatens the British
B．the heart death rate among British men is lower than among women
C．the old mainly dies of stroke in Europe
D．the heart death rate in Ukraine is higher than in Britain
34．What does the word"it"in the last paragraph refer to？B

3．Australia-The vote for euthanasia （安樂死） was finally taken at 3：45this morning．After six months'argument and final 16hours'hot debates．Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die．The bill was passed by the vote of 15to 10．Almost immediately world flashed on the Internet and was picked up，half a world away，by John Hofsess，the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada．He sent it on through the group's on-line service，Death NET．Hofsess says，"We posted it all day long，because this isn't just something that happened in Australia．It's world history．"
The full import may take a while to understand．The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical implications．Some have breathed sighs of relief； but others，including churches，right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association，bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage．But the tide is unlikely to turn back．In Australia--where an aging population，life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia．In the U．S．a(chǎn)nd Canada，where the right to die movement is gathering strength，observers are waiting for the dominoes （多米諾骨牌） to start failing．

47．Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia，but not USA or Canada．Which one is NOT the reason？B
A．In Australia，the technology of extending life is advanced．

20．Dear Volunteers，
The service you will provide to elderly individuals in Abilene as a Meals on Wheels volunteer is deeply appreciated．I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many miles you will travel and all of the hours you will contribute to help make this one of the best programs in the entire state．
We have our staff members make a home visit before adding each person to the program and try to visit everyone at least once every year．That is hardly enough，and we depend on your contact a great deal!It is important that you report back when you do not get an answer to your knock on the door．The person inside may be hurt or ill．They may be in hospital or out of town and fail to inform us．If they are frequently absent，we may need to determine if they still need meals．
If you find someone with a medical emergency，please call 911 to request medical assistance，and then call the Meals on Wheels office．If you find someone who needs assistance other than for a medical emergency，please call the Meals on Wheels office at 6725050，and we will try to find the appropriate agency or individual to call．
Let us know when a certain person needs extra food．We have a food preparation room of shelf stable items to share with them．Please feel free to take a few magazines when you deliver meals．Many of those we serve cannot afford magazines and enjoy reading．If someone is interested in getting books from the Abilene Public Library，let us know．We can sign them up for the Books on Wheels program．Call if you smell gas strongly when you deliver meals，or if someone needs a space heater，a blanket，or an electric fan．Please convey all needs to us，and we will try to see that they are met．Some of the elderly people who we offer our service may have cancers，liver diseases，AIDS，etc．If you do not want to deliver meals to the people with certain types of health problems，such as these，please let us know．

7．Caught Twittering of on Facebook at work？It'll make you a better employee．An Australian study shows that surfing the internet for fun during office hours increases productivity．
The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the internet for personal reasons at work are about 9percent more productive than those who do not．the study author Brent Coker，from the department of management and marketing，said"workplace Internet leisure browsing（工作時(shí)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)休閑）"，or WILB，helped to sharpen workers'concentration．"People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration，"Coker said on the university's website （www．unimelb．edu．a(chǎn)u/）．"Short breaks，such as quick surf of the Internet，enable the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total net concentration for a day's work，and as a result，increase productivity，"he said．
According to the study of 300workers，70percent of people who use the Internet at work engage in WILB．Among the most popular WILB activities are searching for information about products，reading online news，playing online games and watching videos on YouTube．
"Many firms spend millions on software to block their employees from watching videos，using networking sites or shopping online under the pretence that it costs millions in lost productivity，"said Coker．"That's not always the case．"
However，Coker said the study looked at people who browsed in moderation （適度），or were on the Internet for less than 20percent of their total time in the office．"Those who behave with Internet addiction tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without，"he said．

26．What does the passage mainly tell us？D
A．What we should do with our leisure time？
B．How to surf the internet for fun during office hours．
