14、an. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it
15、in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what
16、he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish; “I know this jac
17、ket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned. “ Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is :“ This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.
18、 Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only“ having a look round“. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store b
19、y what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are a
20、lways on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most
21、dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, when a man is buying clothes, _.（分数：2.00）A.he buys cheap things, regardless of qualityB.he chooses things that others recommendC.he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right thingsD.he buys good qual
22、ity things, so long as they are not too dear(2).What do men care about the fit of new clothes?（分数：2.00）A.They like their clothes to be bigger than the average size.B.Most men just assume that the size is right for them.C.They make sure a thing fits before they buy it.D.They do not worry whether a th
23、ing first well or not.(3).What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?（分数：2.00）A.He buys a similar thing of the color he wants.B.He usually does not buy anything.C.At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.D.So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.(4).What
24、does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?（分数：2.00）A.They welcome suggestions from anyone.B.Women rarely consider buying cheap clothes.C.Women often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.D.They listen to advice but seldom take it.(5).What is the most obvious difference
25、between men and women shoppers?（分数：2.00）A.Men do not try clothes on in a shop.B.Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.C.Women care more about the quality than men.D.The time they take over buying clothes.As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinc
26、t acts of buying and selling, without requiring the seller to purchase goods from the person who buys his products, or vice versa. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concent
27、rate on finding cheapest market for the things they wish to purchase. Specialization, which is vital to an advanced economy, is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one in which many others are involved can be paid an amount equivalent to their share o
28、f the product. Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value, that is, it serves as a unit in terms of which the relative values of different products can be expressed. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or ho
29、w many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal, which would be a difficult and time-consuming task. The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two partie
30、sdesires and preferences. If I am trying to barter fish bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to barter fish for bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to exchange bananas is or not keen on fish. Thirdly, money acts as a store of wealt
31、h. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a person could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Even when a person actually produced a complete product the difficulties would be overwhelming. Mos
32、t products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on would involve obvious disadvantages-imagine a coal-miner attempting to save enough coal, which of course is his product, to
33、keep him for life. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided for, or capital accumulated to raise productivity.（分数：10.00）(1).Using money as a medium of exchange means that_.（分数：2.00）A.you have to sell something in order to buy somethingB.you have
34、 to buy something in order to sell somethingC.you dont have to buy something in order to sell somethingD.the seller and the purchaser are the same person(2).Specialization is encouraged because people_.（分数：2.00）A.can use their money to buy whatever they wantB.do not need to make a complete product f
35、or exchangeC.can share their products with many othersD.cannot use their money to buy whatever they want(3).A barter economy is one in which_.（分数：2.00）A.value is decided by weightB.value is decided by numberC.money is used goods are not exchangedD.goods are exchanged and money is not used(4).If one
36、had to save products instead of money, _.（分数：2.00）A.this would need years of practiceB.he could only save part of his productsC.they could not be stored for years on endD.many products would lose their value(5).How many advantages of money are mentioned in this passage?（分数：2.00）A.TwoB.ThreeC.FourD.F
37、iveTalk to those people who first saw films when they were silent, and they will tell you the experience was magic. The silent film had extraordinary powers to draw members of an audience into the story, and an equally potent capacity of make their imaginations work. It required the audience to beco
38、me engagedto supply voices and sound effects. The audience was the final, creative contributor to the process of making a film. The finest films of the silent era depended on two elements that we can seldom provide today a large and receptive audience and a well-orchestrated score. For the audience,
39、 the fusion of picture and live music added up to more than the sum of the respective parts. The one word that sums up the attitude of the silent filmmakers is enthusiasm, conveyed most strongly before formulas took shape and when there was more room for experimentation. This enthusiastic uncertaint
40、y often resulted in such accidental discoveries as new camera or editing techniques. Some films experimented with players; the 1915 film Regeneration, for example, by using real gangsters and streetwalkers, provided startling local color. Other films, particularly those of Thomas Ince, provided trag
41、ic endings as often as films by other companies supplied happy ones. Unfortunately, the vast majority of silent films survive today in inferior prints that no longer reflect the care that the original technicians put into them. The modern versions of silent films may appear jerky and flickery, but t
42、he vast picture palaces did not attract four to six thousand people a night by giving them eyestrain. A silent film depends on its visuals; as soon as you degrade those, you lose elements that go far beyond the image on the surface. The acting in silent was often very subtle and very restrained, des
43、pite legends to the contrary.（分数：10.00）(1).In paragraph 2, the sentence“ For the audience. . . parts, “indicates that_.（分数：2.00）A.music was the most important element of silent filmsB.silent films rely on a combination of music and image in affecting an audienceC.the importance of music in silent fi
44、lm has been overestimatedD.live music compensated for the poor quality of silent film images(2).The “formulas “mentioned in paragraph 3 of the passage most probably refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.movie theatersB.use of real charactersC.contemporary eventsD.standardized film techniques(3).The author uses the
45、 phrase “ enthusiastic uncertainty“ in paragraph 3 to suggest that the filmmakers were _.（分数：2.00）A.eager to challenge existing conventionsB.eager to please but unsure of what the public wantedC.excited to be experimenting in an undefined areaD.delighted at the opportunity to study new acting formul
46、as(4).The last sentence of paragraph 1 implies that_.（分数：2.00）A.the audience plays an important role in the process of making a filmB.silent film techniques should be studied by filmmakers todayC.visual effects defined the silent filmD.many silent films that exist today are of poor quality(5).The wo
47、rd“restrained“ (the last line of the passage) most nearly means _.（分数：2.00）A.sincereB.dramaticC.inexpressiveD.understatedPeople have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is co
48、operative and another is competitive. Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have
49、been developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often referred to as “ nature/nurture“. Two who support the“ nature“ side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biologi
