I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”.I separated them into six groups and gave them an example:a restaurant chain.The more original their idea,the better,I said.Finally,five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains.The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮)service.Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult,I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers,financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies.They were not without talent or opinions,but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness.The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years' teaching at the school.Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review.Case study debates were written up and just memorized.Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy,better than inventing and creating.
In China,every product you can imagine has been made and sold.But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind,partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established.And then there's the “thousand talent scheme”:this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money.But there are worries about China's research environment.It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness,and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last,for China,becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities.Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively.It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds.It's not that simple.
66.Why did the author feel disappointed at his students?
A.Because there is one group presenting a catering service.
B.Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains.
C.Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.
D.Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.
67.Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?
A.Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.
B.Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.
C.Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.
D.Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
68.The underlined word “scheme” in the forth paragraph means______.
A.timetable B.theme C.project D.policy
69.We can infer from the passage that______.
A.China can make and sell any product all over the world
B.high pay may not solve the problem of China's research environment
C.cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand
D.the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination
70.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Look for a New Way of Learning. B.Reward Creative Thinking.
C.How to Become a Creator. D.Establish a Technical Environment.
Part Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)
Section A(10 marks)
Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Experiencing bad dreams every night can be horrifying for anybody.Bad dreams can disturb the sleep and make a person feel stressed throughout the next day.That's why one should take steps to stop them as soon as they become an everyday occurrence.
Before knowing how to get rid of bad dreams,we need to understand what can result in them.Researches have shown that when a person is under some sort of physical or mental stress,he is more likely to get bad dreams and disturbed sleep.So,to stop bad dreams,it's necessary to find out the causes of physical and mental stress in your life and remove these.For instance,if you're overworked,learn to take things slow.Don't be ambitious to the point that it starts affecting your health.
Besides,some trauma(损伤)that a person might have experienced recently or in the past which they're unable to get over can make the person suffer from bad dreams.Death of a very close family member is often seen to be the reason behind recurrent nightmares.In such a case,taking therapy and dealing with the trauma is the only solution to stop bad dreams.
Eating fatty and high-protein foods in dinner is also known to cause bad dreams in some people.So,bad dreams occurring because of these reasons can be stopped if the diet is changed.Taking a light dinner of soups and salad is the best,both for the health and for stopping disturbed sleep in some cases.
Besides these,there are many other things a person can do to have a good night's sleep.For example,your bedroom should be the most comfortable place in the world.So,get rid of all electronic gadgets including television.In addition,if you have negative thoughts,it can have side effects on the kind of dreams you have.So,from now on try to be a happy and positive person.
Title:Bad Dreams
Section B(10 marks)
Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Toms Shoes is a shoe company run by a former reality television competitor.It uses social media far more than traditional advertising,and it takes advantage of socially recognized ideas to build a for-profit business.
Founder Black Mycoskie,an entrepreneur(企业家)who once appeared on the show The Amazing Race got the idea to start the company during a trip to Argentina after noticing that many children didn't have shoes.He created a company with the condition that for every pair of the shoes a person purchases,the company will donate another pair to a needy child.
Mycoskie recently visited the offices of msnbc.com,where he told us that there was no way Toms would have survived 10 years ago.He also said he didn't think the company would have been nearly as successful if it hadn't hit on the idea of combining charity with the for-profit business.
In keeping with both the company's amazing marketing efforts and its charity focus,Toms is hoping to persuade people from all walks of life to take off their shoes this April 5th.The One Day Without Shoes event comes as Toms has gotten ready to put another product on the market later this year.The company will again donate one item for each item that will be bought,but Mycoskie would yet reveal what the new product will be.With the new product,however,Mycoskie said he hoped to change the company into less of a shoe company and more of a “one for one” company.
81.What does Toms Shoes use to build its business?(No more than 5 words.)(2 marks)
________________________________________________________________________
82.What will happen if a pair of shoes is sold by the company?(No more than 14 words.)(2 marks)

参考答案
1.C 2.C 3.A 4.B 5.B 6.B 7.C
8.A 9.C 10.B 11.C 12.A 13.A 14.B 15.B 16.breaking the law
17.being fined 18.community work 19.Sorts of prisons 20.at night
21.C 如果不是第一人称加上表示看法、观点或感受的谓语动词再加上宾语从句,反意疑问句应该根据主句来构成,根据前肯后否的原则以及时态,应该用否定的didn't she。若为I thought/was sure/supposed/believed that...则反意疑问句应该根据宾语从句的谓语动词和主语构成。
22.C 本题考查反意疑问句,由last night可知,要用didn't they。
23.B 句意:据说杨利伟已经升职了。既可用It's said that...句型也可用sb. is said+不定式的句型。若用不定式,应该是Yang Liwei is said to have been promoted to...
24.D 句意:这扇门总是不易关上因为它需要上油。close此处是不及物动词,表示主语自身的某种属性“关得上”,而非“人关上它”的动作,故不用被动;oil为及物动词,意思是“给……上油”,用在need后面,可用need to be done或need doing,故答案为D项。
25.C 根据warns可知后面应该用强制命令语气,故最佳答案为can't。
26.A 根据后文可知此句意思是“不,那不可能是他”,故答案为can't。
27.B 根据“They are not ripe enough to eat.”可知第一人在向第二人征求意见,询问“将橘子保存在冰箱里一段时间是否可取”,而非寻求许可,故最佳答案为shall。
28.A what引导主语从句,在从句中作said的宾语。从句表示“她所说的”。
29.A 本题考查强调句型。故选A项。
30.A 句意:新任的营销部经理不相信广告能促销产品。他宁肯用一种直白的方式来吸引消费者——派人到任何公共场合去展示产品的优点。believe in“相信某物的价值或意义”。believe sth.“相信某物是符合事实的”,不符合语境;rely on sth.为正确搭配,表示“信赖,依赖”;trust sb./sth. with sth.意为“将某物托付给某人/某物”,此处trust后面还差宾语。
31.D 变间接引语时一般疑问句改成以whether或if引导的宾语从句,且时态也要作相应调整。
32.B 主语为nobody故用第三人称单数动词,排除A项和C项;另外know为状态动词,故不能用进行时态,排除D项。
33.A 主语为the number,故答案为A项。
34.C 从句不缺主宾表,故只能添加一个作状语的引导词,由于要说in the case,故可填入in which或where引导定语从句,修饰the case,在从句中作状语。
35.C put on为及物动词,所以应该用被动语态;另外next week表明应用将来时态,故答案为C项。
36.B 后文“on board were...”是说“飞机上有……人”,可知此处是指作者到达飞机场的时候。
37.A 根据I should first exit,可知其他三人会跟在我后面跳伞。
38.D 由后文可知,由于是Chris建议作者第一个跳伞,所以出了事故,飞机上还有人可以帮他。所以应该理解为是让他第一个跳的决定救了他的命。
39.A 在将另一只腿迈出门的过程中,我发现自己沿着机身向飞机的尾部滑去。knock... down中的down是副词,“将……击倒/碰倒”,而此处明显down是介词,宾语是the body of the plane;作者并没有开始从飞机上降落,而是被风刮向机尾,所以flying也不对;crawl是 “爬行”,为作者的主动行为,而此处是风导致的被动动作,故不对。
40.B 和legs并列并且可以用powerless(毫无力气)形容的应该为arms。
41.D 由后文中being at a 12,000 feet is a good thing可知作者并未担忧或害怕,故排除A项和B项;excited“兴奋”当然也不合逻辑。
42.D 由于负担部分解除,我发现自己正在从飞机向往下掉,终于摆脱困境了。
43.D 后文说如果当时对作者有利的任何一个因素不存在,就会导致种种坏结果。可见情况很是严重。
44.A 根据后面的并列后果,此处应为died。
45.C 此处指即使他知道我还附着在飞机下面,他当时也会被迫先找个地方降落。由前面“my parachute got caught”可知作者当时还是由降落伞挂在飞机上;connected应该是两种相关的设备相连;adjust“调整”;cover“覆盖”,均不对。
46.C 根据前面的freedom可知此处应该是广阔的天空给人的感受,故为excitement“刺激”。
47.B 但是为了体验这种快感,你一定要认识到如果出现了失误通常只有一种结果。此处作者提醒跳伞爱好者,要体验跳伞的快乐之前要意识到其风险。
48.However 前句说“十几岁的孩子生活忙碌经常忘记考虑自己的饮食和锻炼”,后句则谈到了健康的饮食和经常锻炼是唯一能让人保持健康的方法。故两者是转折关系。
49.it it作形式主语,to give your body...是真正的主语。
50.each/a/per/every 此处指每天需要2200卡热量。
51.from 你所需的热量的50%来自于米饭、面包、蔬菜和水果。
52.enough 此处指足量饮水会改善你的皮肤并且让你有着健康的头发。much一般不用于肯定句,且任何饮食都必须适量才有正面的效果。
53.what what此处引导主语从句,在从句中作主语。句意:锻炼是能起着让你显得精神,感觉很好并且让你健康的事情。
54.something 当你锻炼的时候,你的身体产生一种让你觉得很放松的物质。
55.better concentrate better意思是“更好的集中注意力”。
56.D 由该段中“The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni,a prehistoric dried-up lake...”可知答案为D项。B项错在everything。
57.D 通读全文可知每个旅馆都很独特。
58.B 根据第二句中Sweet Willy的belly里面有guest rooms,那么Sweet Willy应该就是一个hotel。
59.D 根据介绍Gamirasu Cave Hotel 段落中的“Experience what it was like 5000 years ago...”可知答案。
60.C 从文中对价格的介绍可知答案为C项。
61.C 观点态度题。从整篇文章看,作者主要提到weboholism对社会和网络狂们的负面影响,故作者对weboholism持反对态度。
62.D 主旨大意题。文章第一段阐明了weboholism对不同年龄的人们的影响。下文也是围绕此话题展开的。
63.B 词义猜测题。obsessional意为“着迷的”。B项意为“上瘾的”,故选B项。A项意为“吸引人的”,C项意为“专业的”,D项意为“潜在的”。句意:这种上瘾的行为已经影响了青少年和大学生。
64.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可推断B项正确。

Section C
Health means wealth
People hold the belief that if they are healthy,they will have everything.Some of the young and middle-aged spend their holidays playing cards or online games,believing that they are healthy and there is no need for them to do sports.Some of them even continue to make more money,which means everything to them.
As far as I am concerned,I don't think what some of the people do in their spare time is right.Games and money can't bring us real happiness and wealth.Health is the most important thing for us and it can help us to do something that we want to do.We should all remember:Exercise one hour a day,health in fifty years,a happy life for life.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard.She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing,“ The first prize is ten dollars.You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically.Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard,rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured_up our designs.Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought.We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize,each and every one of us.I'm going to spend mine on candies,one hopeful would announce,while another practiced looking serious,wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster.Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins,while others used nothing but colored construction paper.Some of us used big designs,and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it.Some of us would wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness.It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of,making all of us believe we had a fair chance,and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat,but I can't say that with any certainty.I made it.I admired it.I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen,and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize,and then someone distracted me,and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk,thinking,What poster?when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
1.What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?
A.It must appear in time.
B.It must be done in class.
C.It must be done on a construction sheet.
D.It must include the words on the blackboard.
2.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.
A.formed an idea for B.made an outline for
C.made some space for D.chose some colors for
3.After the teacher's words,all the students in the class______.
A.looked very serious
B.thought they would be rich
C.began to think about their designs
D.began to play games
4.After seeing the good students' designs,some students______.
A.loved their own designs more
B.thought they had a fair chance
C.put their own designs in a corner
D.thought they would not win the prize
5.We can infer from the passage that the author______.
A.enjoyed grown-up tricks very much
B.loved poster competitions very much
C.felt surprised to win the competition
D.became wise and rich after the competition
参考答案

Ⅱ.1.A used to do意思是“过去曾经做……,而现在不再做……”;be used to doing意思是“习惯于做……”。句意:他以前曾经相信要对周围所有的人和事保持绝对控制权,但现在他习惯于依靠他的员工做出关于公司发展的大部分决定。
2.A 本题主要考查动词短语的意义区别。选项A的意思是“处置、处理”;选项B意思是“依赖、依靠”;选项C的意思是“进行下去,继续开展,坚持下去”;选项D的意思是“伴随,与……相配,与……持同一看法”。根据语境可知答案选A项。
3.A intend意思是“想要……”,常见搭配为intend(sb./sth.)to do,可见这里的some adjustments和intend之间是被动关系,故排除B、D两项;另intend是状态动词,不能说 “正在被……”,故答案为A项。
4.C he had stuck to 为定语从句修饰名词the theory;本句考查It is advised that 从句中应该用should后接动词原形,should可省略。
5.B 本题考查省略结构。when combined=when it is combined。
6.C warn sb.against(doing)sth.意思为“警告某人不要做某事或不要接触某事物”。
7.C believe in sth.“相信某物的重要性或价值或意义,信仰某物”;turn to sb./sth.“转向某人/某物,转而求助于某人/某物”;trust with sth.为错误搭配;depend on sth.“依靠某物”;故本题选C项。
8.D 句意:——出什么事了?——不知道。可能有人摔碎了东西。根据“I don't know.”可知后面只能是“可能……”,而不是 “肯定……”。
9.C 补全句子可知:“The visitors chose to stay with the host family to experience the real local life.”。
10.D trick sb. into doing意思是“骗得某人做某事”,为固定搭配。
11.B that引导表语从句,表示one of which即one of several public social concerns的具体内容。concern此处为可数名词,表示“引人关注的事情”。
12.D 考查approach的用法。approach 用作动词,意为“接近;向……靠近;着手处理(问题等)”;也可用作名词,意为“靠近;接近;入门;途径;(处理问题的)方法”。本题中approach意为“通路”。
13.D 本题考查that引导的同位语从句。
14.C 根据beautiful可知应该选填一个表示褒义的词,其中C项和D项为褒义,但be pleased at sth.的介词搭配错误。
15.A get an idea across意为“将一个理念传达过去/讲清楚”。
Ⅲ.1.B 根据文章最后一句“surrendered itself to the ragged American army!”可得出答案。
2.D named为过去分词作定语,指“名叫……”。
3.A 从下文“...they had been without food for two days”得知,这些人很累。
4.C neared相当于 got near to。从前文我们得知,这些ragged soldiers正往Vincennes挺进,因此其他答案不符合题意。
5.C “但要攻打要塞,他们首先得夺取那个镇。”根据上下文,此处应使用表转折关系的词。
6.B 从后文得知,送到镇里的是“message”,而不是派了士兵,根据当时的装备,也不可能送去“telegram”。
7.B 由句意可知本题应选B项。
8.A 山上地势高,这样镇上的人们才看得清,因此A项为最佳答案。
9.C by order of的意思是“在……的命令下”。
10.A 因为旗帜是在长杆子上的,因此镇上的人们会不时地(constantly)看到。
11.A 从空后的was fired可以推出,其他答案不符合题意。
12.C hold out为固定短语,意思是“支持,支撑”。
Ⅳ.1.everywhere 根据前面的a world of advertisements,可知广告无处不在。
2.can 无人能避免广告对我们造成的影响。
3.it make it possible for sb. to do为固定用法,意思是“使得某人做某事成为可能”,it为形式宾语;不定式短语为真正的宾语。
4.Therefore/Thus 前后两句有因果关系,此处需填副词,故用therefore或thus。
5.another For one thing...For another为固定搭配,意思是“一则……再则……” 。
6.us 广告给我们提供了大量最新信息。整篇文章都是讲广告对我们的影响。
7.so 前后为因果关系,此处需填连词,故为so。
8.an 广告业是一门很重要的商业行业。
Ⅴ.1.D 从第二段中的“...make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”可知,老师的要求是黑板上的单词需在海报中出现。
2.A 第三段中conjure up意为“想起;使……呈现于脑际”。从对称的结构“Some...while we conjured up our designs.”与下文的“Others...while deep in thought.”可以猜测出该词词义。
3.C 第三段生动、形象地描写了同学们思考时的各种动作。
4.D 从第四段中的“...wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness.”可知:看到优秀学生的作品后,另外一些学生对自己这次的参赛作品信心更加不足了。
5.C 最后三段描写了作者焦急地等待比赛结果的心情,所以对于不自信的作者来说,这次比赛的结果让他很吃惊。

Ⅴ.阅读简答
Two influential thinkers of the twentieth century have died.John Kenneth Galbraith,the economist,died on April twenty-ninth at the age of 97.Jane Jacobs,a defender of cities,died on April twenty-fifth at the age of 89.
Jane Jacobs believed in the value of natural city growth.She opposed the kind of city planning that involves big development and renewal projects that tear down old communities.
She is best known for her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities.Another book was The Nature of Economies. Yet she never finished college.
Jane Jacobs was an activist in New York City.Her work defeated a road plan to build a big highway through the Greenwich Village area.
She was also against wars.She had sons almost old enough to be called for military service in the Vietnam War.In nineteen sixty-eight the family moved to Canada,where his children didn't have to be involved in the war.But she remained a community activist.Soon she was fighting a road plan in Toronto.
John Kenneth Galbraith was born in Canada but lived and died in the United States.
Among his best-known books is The Affluent Society,from nineteen fifty-eight.He wrote that American society did not have enough social services.He warned about widening divisions between the rich and the poor.
John Kenneth Galbraith believed in the power of government to improve lives.He believed in a system of progressive taxes,and public support for the arts and government involvement in education.He also supported the idea of public ownership of housing and medical services.
Experts say John Kenneth Galbraith and Jane Jacobs led many to think.“We just wonder not only how and where we want to live and work but also what kind of society we want to leave for our children”,commented one reader of their books.
1.What kind of city development did Jane Jacobs prefer?(No more than 3 words.)
________________________________________________________________________
2.Why did Jane and her family move to Canada in 1968?(No more than 15 words.)
________________________________________________________________________
3.List two things John Kenneth Galbraith didn't like about American society.(No more than 14 words.)
________________________________________________________________________
4.What did the two people have in common?(No more than 6 words.)
________________________________________________________________________
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.made;contributions to 2.take part in 3.played;role 4.in honour of 5.involved in
Ⅱ.1.C 根据Luckily和nobody got wet可知他们在亭子下面躲了雨,所以要选择表示“过去做成了某事”的were able to;could并不能表示“做成了某事”,只能表示他们能够或可以做某事;might只能表示“可以做”。
2.B just my luck是习语,意为“真倒霉”。not at all和that's all right多用于对方感谢时的应答语,“不客气”。never mind用于对方道歉时的应答语“没关系”。
3.D believe是及物动词,故后面应该接宾语从句;宾语从句有主语he和谓语says,says缺宾语,表示 “他说的东西或任何东西”,故答案应该为what或者whatever;whichever表示一个范围内的任何一个,不合题意;no matter what只能引导让步状语从句。
4.C divide...into...“把……分成……”。separate...from...“把……分开”。故选C项。
5.D join in sth.意为“参加(活动)”。join sb.“和某人一起……”。take part in意为“参加(活动)”,故本题应选D项。
6.D 因为有些计划好的项目会被砍掉或推迟,故意思是“要支出的钱会减少”;budget即为“计划支出的钱或预算”。 tighten its budget为“收紧预算”。
7.C practice是不可数名词,many a修饰可数名词的单数形式,a great many修饰复数名词,故排除A、D选项。take...under control是固定搭配,意为“控制住……”。
8.B will表示习惯性动作,意为“常常”。
9.A share意为“分享”。
10.A play an important part/role意为“起重要作用”。在这个结构中part/role只能用单数,其前的不定冠词不能漏掉。
11.C 本题考查介词搭配。compete for意为“为……而竞争”。
12.B make away with意为“偷窃(某物)”;make way for“给……让路”;make for意为“朝……走去,促成”;make out意为“辨认出,了解”。
13.C under/with/by one's name意为“用……的名字”。
14.B in the absence of意为“在没有……的情况下”。
15.C 本题考查交际用语,表示许可时,肯定回答常用“Yes,please./Of course,you may./Go ahead,please./Just help yourself.”等表示。B和D选项前后矛盾。
Ⅲ.1.D 不像她的大部分同事一样,她把痛苦变成了金钱。unlike为介词,表“不像,和……不同”。
2.A 由下文可得知本题答案。
3.B 罗斯所开办的公司专门制造漂亮和舒适的鞋子,她的鞋在全世界畅销。
4.C that could stop her为定语从句,修饰先行词thing。当先行词受到only修饰时,其后定语从句常由that来引导。
5.A 起初,罗斯意识到能够阻止她的唯一的因素就是害怕失败。failure为名词,意思是“失败”。
6.A 罗斯的朋友和家人总是质疑她为什么放弃好的工作。leave为及物动词,意思是“离开,留下”。
7.D 我失败了,但是我尽力了。manage表示设法做成了某事,显然不符合题意;try表尽力去做某事,还没有成功。
8.C 此处指在你选择了你自己要走的路之后,after为连接词,引导时间状语从句。
9.B 除了成功,你没有什么可以选择的。changeable“可变的”;acceptable “可接受的”;available“可使用的”;reliable“可靠的;可信赖的;确实的”。
10.C 由上文可知,她原来是一名医生,故C项正确。
11.D call up“召集,动员;打电话;使人想起”;look out“留神,注意,提防,警惕”;turn around“转过身来;转过去,围绕……旋转”;look back“回头看;回顾,记忆;回顾;回想”。
12.A have a open mind在此处意为“思路开阔,眼界长远”。
Ⅳ.1.all 此处指在几乎所有国家都很受欢迎。countries为复数,前面又有almost,故只能填all。
2.we 和首句的many of us对应。
3.However 此处表示转折关系,因为前面说这种新的运动和我们所熟悉的不同,即我们可能不太熟悉,但你对它越了解,就会越喜欢它。
4.different 根据后文make sure that the game is fair和“This year,it was held in Houston,Texas.”可知答案。
5.of “of+抽象名词significance”相当于某对应的形容词significant,意思是“有意义的,重要的”。
6.two 打到决赛的是两支球队。
7.until 句意:不到最后几秒钟谁都无法判断谁能赢得比赛。not...until为固定搭配,意思是“直到……才……”。
8.if 但是如果你想要现场观看Super Bowl比赛,你要有许多钱。
Ⅴ.1.Natural city development/growth.
2.So that her sons didn't have to(wouldn't)be involved in the Vietnam War./Because her sons didn't have to(wouldn't)be involved in the Vietnam War in Canada.
3.Not enough social services/Lack of social services and widening divisions between the rich and the poor.
4.Both led people to think./They were both influential thinkers.
