38、【答案】[A]allow greater government debt for housing

【解析】根据人名GeorgeOsborne定位得知，此人将会让当地政府用来偿还建房借贷的限额变得更加宽松，并且在借贷限额放宽的情况下，将会另有60,000所房屋在未来的五年 中建立，并由此拉动国内生产总值的百分之零点六。因此A(允许更大的政府的建房借贷)是正确的，而B(禁止当地政府建房)，C(准备减少建房借 贷)，D(发布国内生产总值增长的预报)都与原文意思不符。

39、【答案】[C]contribute to funding new developments

【解析】推断题。根据文章题干定位到第五段，题干考察的是对稳定的租赁环境的理解。A项的意思是"减少注册供应者的成本"，其中"成本一词"并 未在文中出现，属于无中生有。B项的意思是"减少政府接介入的影响"，其中"政府介入"并未在文中出现，属于无中生有。B项的意思是"有助于为新发展提供 资金支持"，其中"为新发展提供资金支持"对应文中的"fundnew developments";C选项中的"contributeto"(意思是有助于)对英文中的havea significant impact(意思是有重要影响)，符合正解的同义复现原则，所以是正确选项。

40、【答案】[D]stop generous funding to the housing sector

【解析】推断题。根据题干定位到最后一段第三行。考察的是2015年以后政府的可能性动作。A项的意思是"推行更多的政策来支持住房"与原文意 义相反。B项的意思是重新审视大规模公共拨款的需求，与原文倒数第二段意义相违背。C项的意思是更新可负担的住房拨款项目并没有提到renew一词。D项 的意思是停止对住房部门的大额资助，与原文的倒数第二句相匹配，故为正确选项。

【参考译文】

大多数人认为乐观是无尽的欢乐，如同总是有半杯水的杯子。但那是一种绝不会为积极心理学家所称道的虚假的快乐。哈佛大学的TalBen-Shahar教授说，"健康的乐观主义意味着要活在现实之中。"在Ben-Shahar看来，现实的乐观主义者会因势利导，而非求全责备。 Ben-Shahar 会使用三种乐观的方法。比如说，当他因搞砸了一场演讲而倍感郁闷的时候，他会告诉自己这是很正常的事，提醒自己：并不是每一次演讲都可以获得诺贝尔奖，总 会有一些人的演讲效果不及其他人。接着为改进。他分析了一些效果不好的演讲并且从那些起效和无效的演讲中吸取教训为将来做准备。最后是看待问题的角度，即 在生活的宏伟计划中，一次演讲真的无足轻重。

Youshould write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET. (15points)

As thebar graph indicates, both city and rural area witnessed adistinguished

phenomenon in population fluctuation. Indeed,population in city increased at a breakneck speed and surpassedthat of rural area during the period from 1990 to 2010

whilepopulation in rural region slightly decreased down to a scale whichwas close to that of city.

Whataccounts for this disparity? The answer involves two factors. Thefirst

contributing factor is the substantially fast developingsteps of cities in China. No one can deny that since Chineseeconomic reform from 1980s which mostly benefits people in

city.The second reason is that Chinese farmers enjoy the harvest fromnew policies that are established to benefit farmers. People inrural areas are allowed to migrate for work and residence by thelaw and an increasing number of farmers choose to work in city

andbecome migrant workers just because they would make much more moneythan ever before in city. All these are the result ofurbanization.

Based onthe analyses above, we can safely draw the conclusion that theprocess of urbanization will continue in the years ahead, and everysingle Chinese benefits from the fast development ofChina.
