【正文】 the recent change of control in Congress, the popularity of measures like increasing the minimum wage, and efforts by California’s governor to offer universal health care, these guys don’t need their own personal weathermen to know which way the wind blows. It’ s possible that plutocrats（有錢有勢的人） are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory（沒收性的） tax policies. But the prospect that ine inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn’t keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that. No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of ine and economic insecurity. In other words, if middleclass Americans continue to struggle financially as the ultrawealthy grow ever wealthier, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain political support for the free flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods, it’s likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad. For people who buy and sell panies, or who allocate capital to markets all around the world, that’s the real nightmare. 57. What is the current topic of mon interest among the very rich in America? A) The fate of the ultrawealthy people. B) The disintegration of the middle class. C) The inequality in the distribution of wealth. D) The conflict between the left and the right wing . 58. What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman’s lamentation? A) Many middleine families have failed to make a bargain for better welfare. B) The American economic system has caused many panies to go bankrupt. C) The American nation is being more and more divided despite its 本資料由 整理制作，歡迎到 下載四六級資料 /本資料由 整理制作，歡迎到 下載四六級資料 wealth. D) The majority of Americans benefit little from the natiion’s growing wealth. 59. From the fifth paragraph we can learn that ) the very rich are fashionconsciousB) the very rich are politically sensitiveC) universal health care is to be implemented throughout AmericaD) Congress has gained popularity by increasing the minimum wage 60. What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class? A) They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation. B) They know that the middle class contributes most to society. C) They want to gain support for global economic integration. D) They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity. 61. What may happen if the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods? A) The prices of imported goods will inevitably soar beyond control. B) The investors will have to make great efforts to reallocate capital. C) The wealthy will attempt to buy foreign panies across borders. D) Foreign countries will place the same economic barriers in return. Part Ⅴ Cloze (15 minutes) 本題共計 10分，每小題 。 Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. In 1915 Einstein made a trip to G ttingen to give some lectures at the invitation of the mathematical physicist David Hilbert. He was particularly eager—too eager, it would turn (62)—to explain all the intricacies of relativity to him. The visit was a triumph, and he said to a friend excitedly, “ I was able to (63) Hilbert of the general theory of relativity. ” (64) all of Einstein’ s personal turmoil（焦躁） at the time, a new scientific anxiety was about to (65). He was struggling to find the right equations that would (66) his new concept of gravity, (67) that would define how objects move (68) space and how space is curved by objects. By the end of the summer, he (69) the mathematical approach he had been (70) for almost three years was flawed. And now there was a (71) pressure. Einstein discovered to his (72) that Hilbert had taken what he had learned from Einstein’s lectures and was racing to e up (73) the correct equations first. It was an enormously plex task. Although Einstein was the better physicist, Hilbert was the better mathematician. So in October 1915 Einstein (74) himself into a monthlong frantic endeavor in (75) he returned to an earlier mathematical strategy and wrestled with equations, proofs, corrections and updates that he (76) to give as lectures to Berlin’s Prussian Academy of Sciences on four (77) Thursdays. His first lecture was delivered on Nov. 4. 1915, and it explained his new approach, (78) he admitted he did not yet have the precise mathematical formulation of it. Einstein also took time off from (79) revising his equations to engage in an awkward fandango (方丹戈雙人舞 )with his petitor Hilbert. Worried (80) being scooped（搶先）， he sent Hilbert a copy of his Nov. 4 lecture. “ I am (81) to know whether you will take kindly to this new solution, ” Einstein noted with a touch of defensiveness. ) up B) over C) out D) ) convince B) counsel C) persuade D) )Above B)Around C)Amid D)) emit B) emerge C) submit D) ) imitate B) ignite C) describe D) ) ones B) those C) all D) ) into B) beyond C) among D) ) resolved B) realized C) accepted D) ) pursuing B) protecting C) contesting 本資料由 整理制作，歡迎到 下載四六級資料 /本資料由 整理制作，歡迎到 下載四六級資料 D) ) plex B) patible C) parative D) ) humor B)
