46、tworks.BFor ten years, Hingorani and I have shared a wall. In all these years, we shared nothing more than that wall.Hingorani lost her husband around eight months ago. Now, the 82-year-old former headmaster of Mumbais Jai Hind College lives alone in the apartment next door.Knowing it would be diffi

47、cult for her to manage things without any help, I started dropping by. When I found out that she loves meat and chicken, I went with a plate of butter chicken and kulchas. And we started to talk of course.As we started to talk, 1 realized how different she was from what I had thought. And thats wher

48、e our friendship really began. I found that she related to me in a lot of ways both of us married of our own free will, and she, too, was a working mother. We spoke about her relationship with her two sisters who live abroad and how they connect with each other every day.Her liberal thinking, the wa

49、y she raised her daughter, her love for her culture and stories of her reaching days including how the boys at her college gave her a hard time all made for great conversation. I never felt we were generations apart. She, too, loves my company and looks forward to my crazy stories without judgment.

50、I tell her about the challenges I face when raising a child. A chat with her is like a warm hug at the end of a bad day.Hingorani has become part of my daily life. I look forward to either having a cup of tea with her on her balcony or enjoying a glass of wine on a Saturday night. Our connection is

51、pure. Our friendship is not limited by age. Instead, it is strengthened by the circumstances.59. Why did the author begin to visit Hingorani?A. She felt lonely living alone.B. She was curious about the neighbor.C. She had extra food to share with the neighbor.D. She wants to lend the neighbor a hand

54、CookCAmericas businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy.A study last month by the Brookings Institution found that the proportion of older firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. In addition, yo

55、ung people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion（12.26 trillion yuan） annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this

56、cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.Its risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid si

57、ck days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies.This is partly an unintended issue of resources established companies can cope with new costs more ea

58、sily but its also deliberate. For instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write Obama care, but less politically powerful firms like medical device manufacturers got squeezed.Mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contr

59、ibutions and even write regulations for themselves. They are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry.Major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapse airlines, car companies and banks stagger（蹒跚）on because politicians ri

60、de to the rescue with bags of taxpayer money.The genius cf our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defend the rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy that protects big business at the expense of small busines

61、s, and the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals.Income inequality which is directly caused by faulty government policy is being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. But lets be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winne

62、rs and losers through regulations and financial aids.Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and thats as it should be, but the force of government should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificia

63、l monopolies（垄断）by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright future die in infancy.63. We can learn from the passage that _.A. over several decades, new companies have grown s

64、teadily.B. mature, successful corporations prefer to maintain their stable incomes.C. less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulations.D. The cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businesses.64. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that _.A. th

65、e state economy may depend on those innovative businesses.B. the rise of a well-connected oligarchy is contrary to American ideals.C. income inequality is what the government should take action to resolve.D. the government picks winners and losers through the law of free market.65. It can be conclud

66、ed from the passage that _.A. big insurance companies have better relationship with Obama.B. most of the ex-lawmakers work in mature, successful corporations.C. larger and older firms have a command of resources of various aspects.D. politicians like providing financial aids to the companies of wors

67、e operation.66. As to the development of smaller businesses, the writer is _.A. satisfiedB. confident.C. convinced.D. concerned.Section C（8）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below, each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than

68、you need.A. What accounts for this culture of generosity?B. This belief is central to the national character.C. How can a sense of generosity be cultivated?D. Americans generosity is rooted in selfless behavior.E. Americas philanthropic nature is not restricted to the rich.F. The formal practice of

69、philanthropy traces its origin to a Founding Father.Charity Humanitys most kind and generous desire is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the

70、nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg. the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.67._ Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality（节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well

71、 came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Fra

72、nklins gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation. 68._ Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropys evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated

73、（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.69._ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tec

74、h elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philan

75、thropy necessary.”Franklins gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people. 70._ Americas greatest strength is

76、not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.第二卷. Blank Filling（20）Directions: Complete each sentence with the proper form of the word given in the bracket.71.
