1.The vast Caspian Sea,though sometimes classed as a lake,is the largest landlocked body of water in the world.The gateway between Europe and Asia,it is bordered by Iran to the south,Azerbaijan and Russia to the west and Turkmenistan to the east,while Kazakhsta's Mangystau region lies to the northeast.Many visitors crowd to Caspian Sea every year to experience its beauty.

2.The juries (陪審團(tuán)) entered.
I stood beside the lawyer and my brother,Jimmy.It reminded me of our childhood-as things often did-when we played the game "Simon Says",we would react at the same time in harmony when hearing all kinds of order. "Simon says jump;Simon says touch your toes"-it was almost the same.Almost.
When we grew up,my brother had chosen a separate life,leaving me alone.I missed him a lot.
Today,though,we were together,standing in court,waiting for the sentence.
The guilty verdict (判決)was read.I sat down,but my brother cried, "No!I'm innocent." And then he turned to me,yelling, "How can you do this to me,James!I finally can make a new life by myself."
"Stop this," the judge yelled, "the juries have made the decision."
"But it's not fair!" my brother replied, "I didn't kill anyone."
I wished I could explain,but I said nothing because this is the only way we can be together again.
The judge pulled his glasses from his face. "By law…"
"The law is unjust," my brother said.
The judge wiped his eyes,and,to my surprise,said calmly. "Yes," he nodded his glasses aside. "I agree with you about that.Law is meant to protect the innocent.And you certainly seem innocent.But how can I tell?You two are clones.Your faces,your fingerprints,even your DNA match exactly.That's why when one is found guilty,all others…"
The judge sighed,replaced his glasses,and banged the hammer. "I sentence you both to twenty years."
Together,the court guard led us away.My brother's head bowed in defeat,but I walked upright,for I would no longer be alone.

3.We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy.The story goes like this:the more consumers spend,the more money circulates in the economy,which contributes to healthy job growth and profits.Keynes,a British economist went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy.Sounds troubling,doesn't it?
Fear not.You aren't actually hurting anyone else by saving money.Strong economic growth only comes from one place:savings.Not consumption.In fact,economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth.For example,somebody takes their money,walks into a store,and purchases goods.The store increases its revenue.
But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money?Simple:Other people are allowed to consume them.Think of it this way:When you lend out your savings,you are actually saying, "Here,I am not going to consume right now,so why don't you?" Banks simply play the middleman:they collect lots of people's savings and then lend out lots of funds.
It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building.It takes food,shelter,and entertainment for all of the workers,as well.Without savings,it is quite impossible to finance such a construction.The coordination (協(xié)調(diào)) between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth.This coordination is also why consumer lending(say,to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive,in a strict sense.It doesn't increase the net(凈的) amount of wealth of an economy.Those savings could have been used to construct,say,factory equipment.
None of this means consumption and spending are "bad" things.They simply do not make us wealthier.After all,the final goal of production and savings is to consume.But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the hjye.aise.Or,to rephrase:the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier.Happier,perhaps.Wealthier,no.
(1)What is the author's attitude towards Keynes' theory?
A.Approving.
B.Reserved.
C.Uncertain.
D.Critical.
(2)The underlined word "revenue" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "
A.income
B.reputation
C.interest
D.cost
(3)According to the author,which chart could show the effect of savings on economy?(X:Economic Growth,Y:Savings)A. B. C. D.
A.The Saving Behavior of the Economy
B.Consumption:A Key Concept in Economy
C.The Truth about Savings and Consumption
D.Consumer Spending and Economic Growth組卷:3引用:1難度:0.5

Whether we notice it or not,our child is a little reflection of ourselves.They grow up looking more and more like us.They even have similar personalities and hobbies.And in some cases,the standard of choosing a good friend.
One day,my 10-year-old Jane said, "Mom,I made a new friend at school today.Can she come over tomorrow?" Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
"Sure,honey,that sounds great." I said,thinking back to my own childhood best friend,Susan.We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights,New York.We met at the age of 10,too.Like my daughter,I was shy and had trouble making friends.But Susan drew me out.She was one of the friendliest people in school,with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.Thanks to Susan,I was happy every day.
In senior high school,Susan went on a trip to Florida.This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive." She told me.But I didn't get her phone call nor receive any mail from her.Soon,my family moved to New Jersey,making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of her,tears came into my eyes.
The next day Jane brought her new friend home. "Hi,Mrs.Smith," the little girl said.Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. "My name is Jo.My mom will pick me up two hours later."
