【題目】In opposing President Barack Obama's opening to Cuba, Florida's Republican senator, Marco Rubio, explained, "This entire policy shift announced today is based on an illusion, on a lie, the lie and the illusion that more commerce and access to money and goods will translate to political freedom for the Cuban people." Rubio has correctly touched on the hottest issue. But theory, logic and history suggest that he's wrong in his conclusions.

I would recommend to Rubio one of the classics of conservative(保守的) thought, Milton Friedman's "Capitalism and Freedom." He doesn't have to spend too much time on it. The first chapter outlines the "relation between economic freedom and political freedom." The point Friedman makes in the book is one that America's founding fathers well understood. Drawing on the political philosopher John Locke, they believed that the freedom to buy, sell, own and trade were primary elements of human freedom and individual autonomy(自治). As they expand, liberty expands.

This is not just theory, of course. Over the last two centuries, the countries that embraced "more commerce and access to money and goods" in Rubio's phrase -- Britain, America, then Western Europe and East Asia -- have moved toward greater prosperity, but also political freedom. If you exclude oil-rich countries, where money is not earned but dug from the ground, on the whole there has been a strong connection between economic freedom and political freedom.

In Latin America today, democracy(民主政治) and markets have acted to strengthen each other, transforming the continent, which 30 years ago was almost entirely ruled by dictatorships(獨(dú)裁) to one that is today almost entirely ruled by democracies. After opening up its economy in the 1970s, Chile began to grow, but that growth then produced a stronger civil society that over time contributed to the end of the dictatorship within the country. Yet Cuba is an outlier, one of the last regimes in Latin America that has embraced neither markets nor ballots. The Obama administration is acting on the theory that more commerce, capitalism, contact, travel and trade will empower the people of Cuba and thus gives them a greater voice in their political future. And so the first point to make is that it will help Cubans economically -- it will raise their incomes, their standard of living, and boost access to technology. These are all good things in and of themselves.

But easing the embargo(貿(mào)易禁止) will also help Americans, who will benefit from being able to trade with a neighbor. This is the reason that conservatives have long understood that free trade is not a gift bestowed on someone. It helps both countries and in particular, helps the United States. That's why the Wall Street Journal's editorial page -- bastion of conservative thought -- has been an advocate on lifting the trade embargo against Cuba, which is a far larger step than Obama's normalization.

【1】 What message does the writer try to deliver through this passage?

A. President Obama is making a wrong move opening to Cuba.

B. Marco Rubio is making a mistake criticizing Obama’s normalization policy.

C. Obama’s policy will benefit both Cubans and Americans economically and politically.

D. Obama’s decision agrees with the fact that economic freedom grows with political freedom.

【2】 How does the writer prove his point in paragraph 3 and 4?

A. by analyzing cause and effect

B. by giving examples

C. by making comparison and contrast

D. by raising questions

【3】What does the underlined phrase “translate to” most probably mean?

A. connect with B. adapt to

C. get down to D. lead to

【4】It is implied in the passage that_____________

A. The Obama administration wants to help people in Cuba, so President Obama decided to open to Cuba.

B. Chile is different from other countries in Latin America in that it has both economic and political freedom.

C. America’s founding fathers based their ideology on the theory of Milton Friedman.

D. The conservatives and the Wall Street Journal are on the same page on free trade.

【5】Who doesn’t believe that democracy and markets strengthen each other?

A. the writer B. President Obama

C. Milton Friedman D. Marco Rubio

【題目】The English language was first introduced to the Americas by British colonization, beginning in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia. Similarly, the language spread to numerous other parts of the world as a result of British trade and colonization elsewhere and the spread of the former British Empire, which, by 1921, held sway over a population of 470–570 million people, approximately a quarter of the world's population at that time.

Over the past 400 years the form of the language used in the Americas—especially in the United States—and that used in the United Kingdom have diverged in a few minor ways, leading to the versions now occasionally referred to as American English and British English. Differences between the two include pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, idioms, and formatting of dates and numbers. A small number of words have completely different meanings in the two versions or are even unknown or not used in one of the versions. One particular contribution towards formalizing these differences came from Noah Webster, who wrote the first American dictionary (published 1828) with the intention of showing that people in the United States spoke a different dialect from Britain, much like a regional accent.

It may be the case that increased worldwide communication through radio, television, the Internet and globalization has reduced the tendency towards regional variation. This can result either in some variations becoming extinct (for instance, the wireless, being progressively superseded by the radio) or in the acceptance of wide variations as "perfectly good English" everywhere.

Chief among other native English dialects are Canadian English and Australian English, which rank third and fourth in the number of native speakers. For the most part, Canadian English, while featuring numerous British forms alongside native Canadianisms, shares vocabulary, phonology and syntax with American English, leading many to recognize North American English as an organic grouping of dialects. Australian English likewise shares many American and British English usages alongside plentiful features unique to Australia, and retains a significantly higher degree of distinctiveness from both the larger varieties than does Canadian English. South African English, New Zealand English and the Hiberno-English of Ireland are also distinctive and rank fifth, sixth and seventh in the number of native speakers.

【1】Which of the following native English dialects ranks fifth in the number of native speakers?

A. Canadian English

B. South African English

C. the Hiberno-English of Ireland

D. Australian English

【2】Which of the following is NOT the reason why the English language spread to numerous parts of the world?

A. British colonization

B. the spread of the former English Empire

C. British trade around the world

D. a large British population

【3】 It can be inferred from the passage that_____

A. Australian English has developed more characteristics of its own than Canadian English.

B. it is obvious that some variations will become extinct due to worldwide communication.

C. everyone will be speaking “perfectly good English” in the future.

D. almost a quarter of the world’s population spoke British English in 1921.

【4】This passage is intended __________________

A. to persuade us to speak perfectly good English in the future.

B. to draw people’s attention to the extinction of different English dialects.

C. to give the readers some useful information on variation of the English language.

D. to do a research on how the English language has influenced the world.
