Who is more likely to lie and cheat一the poor person or the rich one? It's easier to think that the wealthier you are，the more likely you are to act fairly and think about what others may need. But research suggests the opposite is true：as people climb the social ladder, their comPaeaionnte（有同情心的）feelings towards other people decline.
Berkeley psychologists Paul Piff and Dacher Keltner ran several studies looking at whether social class，as measured by wealth，occupation，and education，influences how much people care about the feelings of others. In one study，Piff and his colleagues carefully observed the behavior of drivers at a busy four-way intersection. They found that luxury car drivers were more likely to cut off other motorists instead of waiting for their turn at the intersection. This was true for both men and women upper-class drivers，regardless of the time of day or the amount of traffic at the intersection. In a different study they found that luxury car drivers were also more likely to speed past a pedestrian trying to use a crosswalk，even after making eye contact with the pedestrian.
In order to figure out whether selfishness leads to wealth rather than vice versa，Piff and his colleagues ran a study where they managed to control people's class feelings. The
researchers asked participants to spend a few minutes comparing themselves either to people better off or worse off than themselves financially. Afterwards，participants were shown a jar of candy and told that they could take home as much as they wanted. They were also told that the leftover candy would be given to children in a nearby laboratory. Those participants who had spent time thinking about how much better off they were compared to others ended up taking significantly more candy for themselves一leaving less behind for the children.
But why would wealth and status decrease the feelings of compassion for others? Piff and his colleagues suspect that the answer may have something to do with how wealth give people, a sense of independence from others. The less they have to rely on others，the less they may care about others' feelings. This leads them towards being more self-focused. Another reason is their attitudes towards greed. Upper-class people may be more likely to agree with the idea that “greed is good.”Although greed is·universal human emotion, it may have the strongest pull over those of who already have the most.

When your country is closely aligned（目标一致）with a single company, there can be wonderful highs. In 2000，Nokia（NOK）was the world's dominant cell-phone manufacturer. When paradise ends，though，the consequences are cruel. Nokia's 94 percent sham price fall from its 2000 peak has left thousands of engineers looking for work now that Nokia is reducing local development and moving production to Asia. Nokia，，share of gross domestic product probably shrank to 0. S percent in 2011 from as high as 4 percent in 2000. By the end of 2012， Nokia Finnish staff had fallen 40 percent in six years.
Nokia's smartphone business is being eaten up by Apples(AAPL) Whone and the Android handset makers. Its affordable phones for emerging markets are being undercut on price by Chinese rivals. Finns have shown their faith by buying Nokia shares. Finland's households now hold about 10 percent of Nokia stock， up from 5.4 percent two years earlier.
Yet there's a definite sense that Finland is over the worse of its Nokia shock. Nokia has overshadowed the other industries for years. It was sucking all the resources from the country. Now the presence is diminishing a bit.
One way for Finland to keep its reputation for cool stuff is through mobile games. Angry
Birds took iPhone users by storm，and its creator，Rovio Entertainment，could be Finland's next big tech initial public offering，with a possible valuation of more than $ Ibilfion. Total staff at Finland's 100 game companies will more than double，to 6,500 by 2020.
What's needed are businesses that can't be duplicated elsewhere or moved to Silicon
Valley. Finnish shipbuilders have developed Arctic exploration vessels，icebreakers，and world biggest luxury cruise liners. Allure of Seas，built in Turku and delivered in 2010 to Royal
Caribbean Cruises，features a Central Park with 12,000 plants and trees，a surf simulator, and a 3D movie theater. Finland will bounce back. Finland?s future growth will be like small streams merging into a river.
63．What can be learned about Nokia? A. It was the only company in Finland. B. It once dominated cell-phone market. C. It failed due to blind expansion into Asia. D. It relied heavily on Chinese customers. 64. What will mobile games bring to Finland?
A. Competition with Whone users. B. Public entertainment. C. Popularity of Angry Birds. D. Increase of employment.
65，The underlined word“duplicated\＿ ”． A. expanded B. developed C. copied D. created 66. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Finland：Life without Nokia. B. Finland：Faith in Nokia. C. Finland：Fall with Nokia. D. Finland：Past and Future. E
The concept of obtaining fresh water from icebergs that are towed（拖）to populated areas and dry regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life.
But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations，especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.
Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that have been overlooked until recently. Three-quarters of the Earth，s fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice，a reservoir of untapped fresh water se, immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1，000 years. Floating on the oceans every year～7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps，more than 90 percent of them from Antarctic. Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs
throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice，which is formed when the sea itself freezes； rather，they are formed entirely on the land，breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region，icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind，pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice，icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of equator in the Atlantic Ocean. To corral(聚集）them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult.
The difficulty arises in other technical matters，such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the gathering of fresh water to show in great volume. But even if the icebergs lost half their volume in towing，the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that is produced by desalination, or removing salt from water.
67. The underlined word“it\＿ A. a joke in cartoons B. water shortage in dry areas
C. towing icebergs D. obtaining fresh water from icebergs 68. Icebergs are formed＿ A. when the sea freezes
B. while breaking off from glaciers C. with the help of subsurface currents
D. when small pieces of floating ice come together
69．It can be inferred from the passage that most icebergs .
A．become part of glaciers B．drift toward the polar region C．melt in the oceans
D．move in whichever direction the wind is blowing
70．Which of the following ideas would the author be most likely to agree with?
A．Towing icebergs to dry arcos is economically passable. B．Removing salt is the best way to obtain fresh water.
C．Preventing icebergs from melting costs more than desalination.
D．Using water from icebergs in a short term solution to water shortage. 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50分）
