I don't think ________necessary for Julie to make such a fuss about that sort of thing.A. herB. thatC. itD. thisTask 1Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the sat ellites that travel around the world, information travel fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United Stats could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.36. News spreads fast because of __________.A. a peace agreementB. new technologyC. the changes of the worldD. modern transportation37. According to this passage, __________ is very important to people in a disaster area.A. latest newsB. new ideasC. fast communicationD. modern technology38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The world is changing in size.B. The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.C. The world is actually smaller today.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.39. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried __________.A. by airB. by seaC. by landD. by telephone and telegraph40. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed __________.A. in AmericaB. in EnglandC. by both sidesD. in timeTask 2When prices are low people will buy more, and when prices are high they will buy less. Every shopkeeper knows this. But at the same time, producers want higher prices for their goods when they make more goods. How can we find the best price for the goods? The Law of Supply and Demand is the economist's answer to this question. According to this law, changes in the prices of goods cause changes in supply and demand. An increase in the price of the goods causes an increase in supply — the number of goods the producers make. Producers will make more goods when they can get higher prices for the goods. The producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. At the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demand — the number of goods the consumers buy. This is because people buy less when the price is high. People buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. Conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand (people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply (producers make fewer shoes).Business firms look at both supply and demand when they make decisions about prices and production. They look for the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. At this point, the number of shoes produced is 3000 and the price of the shoes is $ 30. $ 30 is the equilibrium price; at this price the consumers will buy all of the 3000 shoes which the producers make. If the producers increase the price of the shoes, or if they produce more than 3000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. The producers will have a surplus (过剩) — more supply thandemand — so they must decrease the price in order to sell all of the shoes. On the other hand, if they make fewer than 3000 shoes, there will be a shoes shortage — more demand than supply — and the price will go up.According to the Law of Supply and Demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the goods. The consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it is the only price that helps them both equally.41. Why does an increase in price cause an increase in supply?A. Consumers buy more goods when prices are high.B. Producers want to sell all of their goods.C. Producers make more goods when prices are high.D. Consumers will not buy all of the goods.42. Why does a decrease in prices cause an increase in demand?A. Producers make fewer goods when prices are low.B. Consumers buy fewer goods when prices are low.C. Consumers buy more goods when prices are low.D. Producers make more goods when prices are high.43. What do business firms look at when they make decisions about prices and production?A. The equilibrium point .B. The demand curve.C. The supply curve.D. All of the above.44. Why will consumers and producers agree on the equilibrium price?A. It is the only price for the goods.B. It will help them both equally.C. All of the goods will be sold.D. It is the lowest price.45. When will producers have a surplus of goods?A. When supply equals demand.B. When they sell all of their goods.C. When there is more demand than supply.D. When there is more supply than demand.Task 3Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people's precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value — the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn't show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum (铝) , nickel (镍) , lead, zinc (锌) , plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really "promise to pay". Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where "money" in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.46. Barter here means __________.A. exchanging goods for goodsB. exchanging money for goodsC. exchanging goods for moneyD. exchanging sheep for anything in the market47. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A. Because they were durable and portable.B. Because they were recognizable.C. Because they were divisible.D. All of the above.48. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them __________.A. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries49. Promises to pay means __________.A. opportunities to payB. necessities to payC. obligations to payD. possibilities to pay50. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is __________.A. suitableB. possibleC. avoidableD. necessaryReading Comprehension ( 2 ) (5points, 1 points each)Task 4Directions:In this task, there is a passage with 5 questions (51 through 55). Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words. The answer should be written after correspondingnumbers on the Answer Sheet.Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. "We are the best men for the job," they said to the boss. "There may be problems, but we can find the answers." "They are the last people I'd trust," thought the boss. " But all the other astronauts have refused to go. "Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again, no answer came. Then he hit the door as he could and finally a voice said, "Who' s there?" "It's me. Who else could it be?" shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again.51.

The movie star _____with your sister, didn’t he?A. used to dancingB. was used to danceC. used to danceD. was used to dancingPart III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, one point each)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. Y ou tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we don not choose our favorite color as we grow up---we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colors do influence our moods---there s no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black s depressing. A black bridge over Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.36. “Y ou would rather follow than lead.”(Para. 1.) means _________.A) you don’t like to follower othersB) you would like to be a member rather than a leaderC) you would be afraid of following othersD) you would like to be a leader rather than a member37. If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer _________.A) red to yellow B) blue to orangeC) red to grey D) blue to yellow38. “They tell us, among other facts, that we don not choose our favorite color as we grow up.” (Para. 1.) “among other facts”means_________.A) besides other facts B) in regard to other factsC) not considering other facts D) according to other facts39. Which of the following is true?A) People’s preference of one color to another is instinct(天性).B) People’s preference of one color to another is acquired as they grow up.C) More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were born.D) Colors have little influence on our moods40. Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of _________.A) its shape B) its structure C) its color D) its building materialTask 2Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions, or unfinished statements, numbered 41 through 45. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A),B),C),and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear.For thousands of years,people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries,women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance,in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton(棉),silk,wool,or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing.

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill.You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you areinstructed.Task 1Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travel fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United Stats could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.36. News spreads fast because of __________.A. a peace agreementB. new technologyC. the changes of the worldD. modern transportation37. According to this passage, __________ is very important to people in a disaster area.A. latest newsB. new ideasC. fast communicationD. modern technology38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The world is changing in size.B. The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.C. The world is actually smaller today.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.39. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried __________.A. by airB. by seaC. by landD. by telephone and telegraph40. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement hadbeen signed __________.A. in AmericaB. in EnglandC. by both sidesD. in timeTask 2When prices are low people will buy more, and when prices are high they will buy less. Every shopkeeper knows this. But at the same time, producers want higher prices for their goods when they make more goods. How can we find the best price for the goods? The Law of Supply and Demand is the economist's answer to this question.According to this law, changes in the prices of goods cause changes in supply and demand. An increase in the price of the goods causes an increase in supply — the number of goods the producers make. Producers will make more goods when they can get higher prices for the goods. The producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. At the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demand — the number of goods the consumers buy. This is because people buy less when the price is high. People buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. Conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand (people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply (producers make fewer shoes).Business firms look at both supply and demand when they make decisions about prices and production. They look for the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. At this point, the number of shoes produced is 3000 and the price of the shoes is $ 30. $ 30 is the equilibrium price; at this price the consumers will buy all of the 3000 shoes which the producers make. If the producers increase the price of the shoes, or if they produce more than 3000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. The producers will have a surplus (过剩) — more supply than demand — so they must decrease the price in order to sell all of the shoes. On the other hand, if they make fewer than 3000 shoes, there will be a shoes shortage — more demand than supply — and the price will go up.According to the Law of Supply and Demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the goods. The consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it is the only price that helps them both equally.41. Why does an increase in price cause an increase in supply?A. Consumers buy more goods when prices are high.B. Producers want to sell all of their goods.C. Producers make more goods when prices are high.D. Consumers will not buy all of the goods.42. Why does a decrease in prices cause an increase in demand?A. Producers make fewer goods when prices are low.B. Consumers buy fewer goods when prices are low.C. Consumers buy more goods when prices are low.D. Producers make more goods when prices are high.43. What do business firms look at when they make decisions about prices and production?A. The equilibrium point.B. The demand curve.C. The supply curve.D. All of the above.44. Why will consumers and producers agree on the equilibrium price?A. It is the only price for the goods.B. It will help them both equally.C. All of the goods will be sold.D. It is the lowest price.45. When will producers have a surplus of goods?A. When supply equals demand.B. When they sell all of their goods.C. When there is more demand than supply.D. When there is more supply than demand.Task 3Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people's precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value — the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn't show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum (铝) , nickel (镍) , lead, zinc (锌) , plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really "promise to pay". Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being usedincreasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where "money" in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.46. Barter here means __________.A. exchanging goods for goodsB. exchanging money for goodsC. exchanging goods for moneyD. exchanging sheep for anything in the market47. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A. Because they were durable and portable.B. Because they were recognizable.C. Because they were divisible.D. All of the above.48. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them__________.A. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries49. Promises to pay means __________.A. opportunities to payB. necessities to payC. obligations to payD. possibilities to pay50. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is __________.A. suitableB. possibleC. avoidableD. necessaryReading Comprehension ( 2 ) (5points, 1 points each)Task 4Directions:In this task, there is a passage with 5 questions (51 through 55). Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words.The answer should be written after corresponding numbers on the AnswerSheet.Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. "We are the best men for the job," they said to the boss. "There may be problems, but we can find the answers." "They are the last people I'd trust," thought the boss. " But all the other astronauts have refused to go. "Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again, no answer came. Then he hit the door as he could and finally a voice said, "Who' s there?" "It's me. Who else could it be?" shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again.51.

A 300-pound adult Siberian tiger escaped from its four-meter high chain-link pen(圈)at the Toronto Zoo yesterday,on one of the busiest days of the year.Though no one was hurt, the dangerous animal was separated from the public for a time by nothing more than a four-foot fence. The escape occurred after one of the animal's handlers left the pen gate open. It prompted a swift response from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the runaway tiger.General Manager Calvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. "I ordered a tranquilizer(麻醉剂)gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn't have to," Mr. White said. The tiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brief escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoo's 28(上标)th annual Christmas Treats Walk, where admission is free in return for donations of food that does not easily go bad.Thousands of people attend each Boxing Day to see the animals fed by their handlers.36.

Zoo—Dangerous SitePassage TwoOne day in January, my uncle, my cousin and I decided to go hunting. We left by car in the afternoon. It was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p. m. , we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon(猎鹰). We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I removed the falcon's head cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took it back to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p. m.We left the camp the next day at 7 o'clock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10. 00 a. m., our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40 km in the desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. 1 walked more than four hours without stopping. When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road where I found a car.

And now a big research study confirms it.Professor Barry Wellman's term is "networked individualism". It's not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for network.Here's what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social network involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in reallife.But the latest study confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social activities and person-to-person interaction. Some people worry that the Internet is turning us into isolated people who shut out other people in favor of a false world on computer screens.To the contrary, the study discovered that the Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told the researcher that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: we're keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!44. The term "networked individualism" is used to refer to______.A. the way that modem people communicate on the InternetB. a social activity popular with North AmericansC. the contradiction within network communicationD. a newly invented Internet software45. With the wide use of Internet, some people fear that______.A. people will become isolatedB. interpersonal relation will disappearC. people will be controlled by networkD. there will be too many social activities46. According to the latest research, electronic interaction through computer is______.A. highly rewardingB. a waste of timeC. only informativeD. an escape from social life47. Why does the writer say networked individuals are tricky?A. Because they sometimes play tricks on people.B. Because they refuse person-to-person communication.C. Because they can stay alone while remaining sociable.D. Because they feel puzzled when communicating with each other.Passage Four"I love you, Bob." "I love you, too, Nancy." It was 2 a.m. and I was hearing my parents' voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching— and surprising.My parents married on September 14,1940, alter a brief dating. She was nearly 30 and knew it was time to 'start a family. The handsome, well-educated man wh0 came by the, office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didn't last long.Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respective in-laws.There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calm somewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. "I always thought we'd..." my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father's faults. The complaints were recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. As he listened, my father would say angry threats and curses in a low voice.It wasn't the happiest marriage, but as their 602 anniversary(纪念日)approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after alit why not try to make the best of things? We'd provide the cake, the balloons, the toasts, and they'd follow one rule: no fighting.The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day. When we thought back, we found it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents.48. Bob married Nancy because of______.A. her nice appearanceB. her good educationC. her romantic natureD. her position as an office girl49. When the writer told the story, the mother was probably ______years old.A. 60B. 70C. 80D. 9050. What do we know about the writer's parents?A. Their marriage is a total failure.B. They had different hobbies.C. They had serious money problerm.D. They stopped quarrelling after they had children.51. The purpose {or the writer to hold the party is______.A. to recall the 60 years' marriage life of her parentsB. to stop the long fighting between her parentsC. just to celebrate her parents'60th anniversaryD. to have a good time for family's reunionPassage FiveWhat can you do to recall your dreams more often and interpret them more Clearly? The experts offer these suggestions: Develop an idea. Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topic or a person you'd like to dream about. Raise a question that's troubling you and see how your dream responds to it.Keep track. Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorder or laptop(笔记本电脑) ,to record your dreams as soon as you wake up.Try to wake up naturally, without the help of an alarm clock or barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If your schedule doesn't allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekend or during a vacation.Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up, lie still and keep your eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept. Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like "Late for an Exam" or "My Date with Ashley Judd." When you rise, immediately write down as many images, feelings and impressions as you can.Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to make connections between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from the present or past? Can you detect any themes from the dream? Look for patterns over several dreams that might help explain an individual dream.Change the outcome, If you have nightmares happening again and again that make it difficult to sleep, try to change the endings. Once you wake up from a bad dream, imagine a change in the action to create a more positive outcome. If you are trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want !52.

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill.You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you areinstructed.Task 1Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travel fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United Stats could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.36. News spreads fast because of __________.A. a peace agreementB. new technologyC. the changes of the worldD. modern transportation37. According to this passage, __________ is very important to people in a disaster area.A. latest newsB. new ideasC. fast communicationD. modern technology38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The world is changing in size.B. The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.C. The world is actually smaller today.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.39. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried __________.A. by airB. by seaC. by landD. by telephone and telegraph40. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement hadbeen signed __________.A. in AmericaB. in EnglandC. by both sidesD. in timeTask 2When prices are low people will buy more, and when prices are high they will buy less. Every shopkeeper knows this. But at the same time, producers want higher prices for their goods when they make more goods. How can we find the best price for the goods? The Law of Supply and Demand is the economist's answer to this question.According to this law, changes in the prices of goods cause changes in supply and demand. An increase in the price of the goods causes an increase in supply — the number of goods the producers make. Producers will make more goods when they can get higher prices for the goods. The producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. At the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demand — the number of goods the consumers buy. This is because people buy less when the price is high. People buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. Conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand (people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply (producers make fewer shoes).Business firms look at both supply and demand when they make decisions about prices and production. They look for the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. At this point, the number of shoes produced is 3000 and the price of the shoes is $ 30. $ 30 is the equilibrium price; at this price the consumers will buy all of the 3000 shoes which the producers make. If the producers increase the price of the shoes, or if they produce more than 3000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. The producers will have a surplus (过剩) — more supply than demand — so they must decrease the price in order to sell all of the shoes. On the other hand, if they make fewer than 3000 shoes, there will be a shoes shortage — more demand than supply — and the price will go up.According to the Law of Supply and Demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the goods. The consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it is the only price that helps them both equally.41. Why does an increase in price cause an increase in supply?A. Consumers buy more goods when prices are high.B. Producers want to sell all of their goods.C. Producers make more goods when prices are high.D. Consumers will not buy all of the goods.42. Why does a decrease in prices cause an increase in demand?A. Producers make fewer goods when prices are low.B. Consumers buy fewer goods when prices are low.C. Consumers buy more goods when prices are low.D. Producers make more goods when prices are high.43. What do business firms look at when they make decisions about prices and production?A. The equilibrium point.B. The demand curve.C. The supply curve.D. All of the above.44. Why will consumers and producers agree on the equilibrium price?A. It is the only price for the goods.B. It will help them both equally.C. All of the goods will be sold.D. It is the lowest price.45. When will producers have a surplus of goods?A. When supply equals demand.B. When they sell all of their goods.C. When there is more demand than supply.D. When there is more supply than demand.Task 3Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people's precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value — the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn't show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum (铝) , nickel (镍) , lead, zinc (锌) , plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really "promise to pay". Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being usedincreasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where "money" in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.46. Barter here means __________.A. exchanging goods for goodsB. exchanging money for goodsC. exchanging goods for moneyD. exchanging sheep for anything in the market47. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A. Because they were durable and portable.B. Because they were recognizable.C. Because they were divisible.D. All of the above.48. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them__________.A. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries49. Promises to pay means __________.A. opportunities to payB. necessities to payC. obligations to payD. possibilities to pay50. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is __________.A. suitableB. possibleC. avoidableD. necessaryReading Comprehension ( 2 ) (5points, 1 points each)Task 4Directions:In this task, there is a passage with 5 questions (51 through 55). Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words.The answer should be written after corresponding numbers on the AnswerSheet.Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. "We are the best men for the job," they said to the boss. "There may be problems, but we can find the answers." "They are the last people I'd trust," thought the boss. " But all the other astronauts have refused to go. "Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again, no answer came. Then he hit the door as he could and finally a voice said, "Who' s there?" "It's me. Who else could it be?" shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again.51.
