　　2022上半年英语六级考试模拟题及答案(8)

　　Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)

　　Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some　questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

　　In a sense, the new protectionism is not protectionism at all, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. The old protectionism referred only to trade restricting and trade expanding devices, such as the tariff or export subsidy. The new protectionism is much broader than this: it includes interventions into foreign trade but is not limited to them. The new protectionism, in fact, refers to how the whole of government intervention into the private economy affects international trade. The emphasis on trade is still there, thus came the term “protection.” But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect international economic relations.

　　The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory　of the interventionist, or welfare economy over the market economy. Jab Tumiler　writes, “The old protectionism…coexisted, without any apparent intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanism — indeed, protectionists as well as (if not more than) free traders stood for laissez faire(放任政策). Now, as in the 1930s, protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of　the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies satisfaction.”

　　It is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism. In a market economy, economic change of various colorsimplies redistribution of resources and incomes. The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper. Therefore,　the government intervenes to bring about a more desired result.

　　The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe. In Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal. In Great Brita　in this is only somewhat less true. Government traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so. Only West Germany　dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe. It also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.

　　The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well　as in Western Europe. Social security, unemployment insurance, minimum wage laws, and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene. 

　　Passage 2　

　　Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

　　When I was growing up, the whole world was Jewish. The heroes were Jewish and the villains were Jewish. The landlord, the doctor, the grocer, your best friend,　the village idiot, and the neighborhood bully: all Jewish. We were working class　and immigrants as well, but that just come with the territory. Essentially we were Jews on the streets of New York. We learned to be kind, cruel, and smart and　feeling in a mixture of language and gesture that was part street slang, part grade-school English, part kitchen Yiddish.

　　One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in　the back seat of my rich uncle’s car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed for home. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shrieked. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, “That’s all right. Nothing but　a few Jews in here.” In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world　beyond our streets, and in that world my father was a humiliated man, without power or standing.

　　When I was sixteen a girl in the next building had her nose straightened; we all went together to see Selma Shapiro lying in state, wrapped in bandages from which would emerge a person fit for life beyond the block. Three buildings away a　boy went downtown for a job, and on his application he wrote “Anold Brown” instead of “Anold Braunowiitz.” The news swept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A name change? What was happening here? It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasn’t standstill.

　　Thing felt lively and active. Self-confidence was on the rise, passivity on the　wane. We were going to experience challenges. That’s what it meant to be in the　new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there.But whom exactly do I mean when I say we? I mean Arinie, not Selma. I mean my　brother, not me. I mean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. “The girls goes to college, too,” she said. And I did. But my　going to college would not mean the same thing as my brother’s going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan. But for me? From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what? I did not actually imagine myself a working person alone in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would　marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would break the perils of class and race, and some how I’d be there alongside him.
