Consumers are saving less than they have in decades and industry professionals expect that trend to continue. Consumers saved 6.4 percent of their after-tax income in June. Before the recession, the rate was 1 to 2 percent for many years. In June, consumer spending and personal incomes were essentially flat compared with May, suggesting that the American economy, as dependent as it is on shoppers opening their wallets and purses, isn‘t likely to rebound anytime soon. On the bright side, the practices that consumers have adopted in response to the economic crisis ultimately could make them happier. New studies of consumption and happiness show, for instance, that people are happier when they spend money on experiences instead of material objects, when they relish what they plan to buy long before they buy it, and when they stop trying to outdo the Joneses. If consumers end up sticking with their newfound spending habits, some tactics (策 略) that retailers and marketers began using during the recession could become lasting business strategies. Among those strategies are offering goods that makes being at home more entertaining and trying to make consumers feel special by giving them access to exclusive events and more personal customer service. While the current round of stinginess may simply be a response to the economic downturn, some analysts say consumers may also be permanently adjusting their spending based on what they‘ve discovered about what truly makes them happy or fulfilled. ―This actually is a topic that hasn‘t been researched very much until recently,‖ says Elizabeth W. Dunn, an associate professor in the psychology department at the University of British Columbia, who is at the forefront of research on consumption and happiness. ―There‘s massive literature on income and happiness. It‘s amazing how little there is on how to spend your money. Studies over the last few decades have shown that money, up to a certain point, makes people happier because it lets them meet basic needs. The latest round of research is, for lack of a better term, all about emotional efficiency: how to reap the most happiness for your dollar. So just where does happiness reside for consumers? Scholars and researchers haven‘t determined whether Armani will put a bigger smile on your face than Dolce & Gabbana. But they have found that our types of purchases, their size and frequency, and even the timing of the spending all affect long-term happiness. One major finding is that spending money for an experience — concert tickets, French lessons, sushi-rolling classes, a hotel room in Monaco — produces longer-lasting satisfaction than spending money on plain old stuff. ―‗It‘s better to go on a vacation than buy a new couch‘ is basically the idea,‖ says Professor Dunn. Thomas DeLeire, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin discovered that the only category to be positively related to happiness was leisure: vacations, entertainment, sports and equipment like golf clubs and fishing poles. 58. What‘s the dark side of American consumers‘ saving more and spending less? A) The job and housing markets will become even weaker. B) There is little hope that the American economy will recover soon. C) More and more retailers and marketers will have to go bankrupt. D) It‘s possible that the American economy will rebound sooner. 59. What will happen if customers keep their spending habits formed in the economic downturn? A) They will get goods and services much cheaper. B) It‘s likely that they spend more time indoors. C) Retailers will change their business strategies. D) They will enjoy better services and experiences. 60. What surprises Elizabeth W. Dunn according to the passage? A) There is little about how to spend money to make people happy. B) Consumers unconsciously adjust their spending habits to be happy. C) People started researches on consumption-happiness relationship so early. D) Happiness is proved to have nothing to do with consumption. 61. Scholars such as Prof. Dunn and Prof. DeLeire agree that A) richer people feel happier and more satisfied B) most consumers prefer leading brands like Armani C) spending on vacations brings long-term happiness D) people should curb their spending on material thing C Remittance (汇款）increase living standards in the country of origin. Remittances m a large share of the GDP of many developing countries. A study on remittances to Mexico found that remittances lead to a considerable increase in the availability of public services in Mexico, surpassing government spending in some localities. Research finds that emigration and low migration barriers have net positive effects on human capital formation in the sending countries. This means that there is a" brain gain" instead of a” brain drain to emigration. One study finds that sending Countries benefit indirectly in the long run from the emigration of skilled workers because those skilled workers are able to innovate more in developed countries, which the sending countries are able to benefit as a positive externality. Greater emigration of skilled workers consequently leads to greater economic growth and welfare improvements in the long run. Research also suggests that emigration, remittances and return migration can have a positive impact on political institutions and democratization in the country of origin. Research also shows that remittances can lower the risk of civil war in the country of origin. Return migration from countries with liberal gender norms has been associated with the transfer of liberal gender norms to the home country. Research suggests that emigration causes an increase in the wages of those who remain in the country of origin. A 2014 survey of the existing literature on migration finds that a 10 percent emigrant supply shock would increase wages in the sending country by 2 % — 5.5 %. A study of emigration from Poland shows that it led to a slight increase in wages for high-and medium-skilled workers for remaining Poles. A 2013 study finds that emigration from Eastern Europe after the 2004 EU enlargement increased the wages of remaining young workers in the country of origin by 6%, while it had no effect on the wages of old workers. The wages of Lithuanian men increased as a result of post-EU enlargement emigration. Return migration is associated with greater household firm revenues (收入）. Some research shows that the remittance effect is not strong enough to make the remaining natives in countries with high emigration flows better off. It has been argued that high-skill emigration causes labor shortages in the country of origin. This remains unsupported in the academic literature though. According to economist Michael Clemens, it has not been shown that restrictions on high-skill emigration reduce shortages in the countries of origin. 62. This passage mainly tells us that A. people's living standards in the receiving countries have been greatly improved B. emigration has both advantages and disadvantages to the sending countries C. the reasons behind economic growth in the sending countries D. the effect of migration on the sending countries 63. From the first three paragraphs, we know that A. the emigration of skilled workers brings economic growth to developed countries B. emigration means a kind of” brain gain" rather than “brain drain” C. the government in Mexico should spend more on public services D. highly qualified workers are bound to return to their home country 64. The examples in Paragraph 5 show that A. return migration makes the natives better off B. a wage increase is associated with economic growth C. enlargement brings welfare to all EuropeansD. emigration leads to a salary increase for remaining natives 65. According to the passage, what can we know about the country of origin? A. The negative effects of high-skill emigration have shown up. B. Remittances have 狂 good effect on maintaining social stability, C. High migration barriers can reduce shortages of skilled workers. D. High-skill emigration may cause economic fall within a short time. D This year arrives amid a few interesting trends. More Americans are interested in local and sustainable foods: urban farming, chicken-raising. And more Americans are hunting, spending increasing time and money on that pursuit, Viewed from the right angle, though, both these trends could have a place at the holiday table. What would happen if more Americans made Thursday's (Thanksgiving Day) meal out of wild turkeys? What if more people enjoyed a wild Christmas goose, or wild pig ham? If more did, the results might be better for the environment, for our health—and perhaps for our souls as well. Americans’ growing interest in local food is evident everywhere. According to the US Department of Agriculture, the number of farmers markets rose from 1,755 in 1994 to 8,144 this year. Cities from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Gainesville Florida, have eased restrictions on backyard chickens，Some “locavores” are content to get community- supported agricultural produce delivered, and buy grass-fed beef. But for a growing number, hunting is the next step. The meat is local and avoids the ethical complications of factory farms. Hunting has definitely enjoyed a resurgence. Census statistics show that the percentage of Americans who hunt —which had been falling for decades-is back up at a 20-year high. Hank Shaw, author of the new wild bird cookbook Duck, Duck, Goose, and owner of the James Beard Award-winning website Hunter Angler Gardener Cook, calls it The Omnivore's Dilemma effect. After reading Michael Pollan's best-selling book on where food comes frori^ many people join a community-supported agriculture group, but some get a hunting license, too. “I can't tell you how many people I talk to who view hunting as a part of a larger, personal goal of sustainable eating,” Shaw says. Of course, characterizing hunting this way blurs many lines. To some, shooting animals cannot possibly be an environmentally friendly activity. The existence of “hipster hunters” is also limited by cultural attitudes toward guns. It's almost impossible to legally own a hunting weapon in Brooklyn. But hunting wild animals requires the preservation of wild land —certainly an environmental plus 一— and if you're going to eat meat, hunting has a lot going for it that industrial farms do not The animal lived a free and natural life, up to its last day. Add to this the fact that some game populations have grown unnaturally large due to the lack of predators(食肉动物).The East Coast is filled with white-tailed deer. Geese take up residence on golf courses, and wild pigs wander through the woods. In his 2012 book Nature Wars journalist Jim Sterba argued that more humans live in closer contact with wild animals than at my point in history. Hunting can keep a check on that. Hunting can keep a check on our appetites too, Susan Cameron Devitt, a biologist who recently moved from Florida to Texas, notes that one of the things you learn quickly from hunting is how much labor goes into producing a meal. ” If you buy meat at the grocery store, you can eat three servings a day, but if you imagine trying to keep that up with hunting, it just wouldn't be possible,” she says. Which brings us back to holiday tables? In the original version of Thanksgiving and Christmas, these were special meals, based around dishes you wouldn’t eat frequently. These days, you can buy turkey whenever. A wild turkey, caught and then cooked, is a different matter. A speckle-belly goose elevates the Christmas dinner in a way a regular supermarket ham does not. When you know where your food comes from, when you've labored to bring it to your table, you more naturally feel grateful for the amazing abundance of this planet.” There's no better way to engage with nature than to seek dinner within it” says Shaw. 66. What can we learn about the trends? A. Few people regard hunting as a part of a personal goal of sustainable eating. B. Hunting in the USA is consistent with the cultural attitude to guns. C. The media play a part in promoting the popularity of hunting. D. Hunting is likely to replace industrial farms 67. The underlined phrase “game populations” in paragraph 8 refers to A. the number of hunters B. the number of wild animals and birds C. animals and birds caught through hunting D. campaigns to ban the hunting of wild animals and birds 68. The underlined part in Paragraph 9 implies A. some hunters do not have the desire to eat meat from industrial farms B. hunting provides hunters with three servings a day C. some hunters do not have a healthy appetite D. hunting helps hunters control their appetite 69. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph? A. In the past, people ate turkeys only on Thanksgiving Day. B. Supermarket turkeys will not be accepted by people any more. C. Wild turkeys are more delicious than those bought from grocery stores. D. Wild turkeys help bring back the festive atmosphere of Thanksgiving Day. 70. According to the last paragraph, hunting is beneficial for A. our mental health B. our physical fitness C. the environment D. farmers’ markets 第四部分：任务型阅读（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 请认真下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格处填入一个最恰当的单词，注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上，每个空格只填一个单词。 Empathy is our inherent ability to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person’s frame of reference. It allows us to connect with others who seem different, making us more aware of the things we have in common. When we tune in to empathize with others, we are more likely to act with sympathy to help reduce their suffering. And, when we increase our caring for the environment, we are more likely to make choices that help preserve it for future generations. Although empathy is a vital element of our nature, research suggests that empathy can be taught, and that contact with people who are different from us in a safe, empathic way is the first step toward reducing prejudice. This is where museums have a role to play. Museums are safe and informal learning platforms, uniquely equipped to encourage visitors to imagine, explore, and experience rich human heritage and the natural world firsthand. They have the capability to bring together arts, technology, sciences, and literature to show how all living things are linked to each other. Museums inspire empathy in us in a number of ways. Through their social and educational mission (使命），museums can provide a safe space for experiencing our collective behavior, knowledge, complex histories, and values. By putting people in closeness to other people’s experiences, their cultures and stories, museums can help us awaken to different realities and multiple perspectives ( 视 角 ） that exist around us. Personal and diverse encounters (意外的相遇） with people from other cultures —and their ideas, stories, and artifacts —create opportunities for authentic dialogue with “the other”： someone who is different from us, but shares our world. Also museums often present the stories of people and places far away. Telling stories from the point of view of the people and cultures featured can also increase our sense of shared humanity, as we see how others face fears, biases, and challenges similar to our own. More importantly, museums encourage contemplation (沉思）of our world by providing a space where we can slow down and be with what is before us. Unlike many everyday settings where the goal is clear, people explore in museums on their own schedule, moving from exhibit to exhibit as they see fit, following their own internal guidelines. This naturally allows for a more reflective experience. Through this reflection, visitors can acquire a deeper understanding of the viewpoints of others and recognize their own connection to all of humanity and the planet. Museums and empathy Concept of empathy and (71) it brings Empathy refers to the ability to place oneself in another's (72) · It can make one (73) with other's suffering and behave in a way (74) ____to the environment. (75) __·of Museums Museums (76) ______visitors to the rich human heritage and the matural world which can inspire their (77) _____and arouse their curiosity unknown.· Museums show how all living things are(78)______by combining arts, technology，sciences, and literature. How museums increase empathy Museums hold a mirror to society ， through which visitors get(79)______to 0thers'experiences ， cultures and stories and then accept the differences around them As a place of storytelling museums can help people breakdown prejudice and increase their sense of shared humanity. Museums provide a safe space where visitors can take time to (80) _______on everything shown and understand others' viewpoints better. 第五节：书面表达（满分 25 分） 1.Currently, there’s no country in the entire world where women cams s much es men for doing the same job .And it’s going to take another 81 years to close the gender gap， according to a new report by the World Economic Forum .The US for instance， ranked the 65th in wage equality among 142 counties in the report. 2.Both men and women in the Us see inequalities in workplace 77% of women and 63% of men said. ”America needs to continue making changes to give men and women equality in the workplace ， ”according to a Pew Research Center survey.

And it’s a common phenomenon that a woman earns much less than a man for doing the same job. There're many factors that contribute to the existence of the gender pay gap. One is that women have to reduce their working hours or even quit their jobs to carry out their family duty of looking after children or the elderly and thus are paid less than men. In addition， due to gender discrimination， a male employee can get higher-wage jobs more easily in a company than a female one. what can be done about the gender pay gap? For women， they should value and improve their competence first. The employers have the responsibility to ensure they don’t treat men and women differently. And the government also has the responsibility to make equal-pay laws and get them enforced strongly.
