14、ment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one person s utilization does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else s enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is public g
15、oods. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefitirrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the
16、 utilization of the light house for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated wit
17、h public goods. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense. Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic analysis has to be substituted
18、 for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.（分数：12.00）(1).With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?A. Mechanisms for safer navigation.B. The economic structure of the marketplace.C. A specific group of commodities.D. The advantages of lowering taxes.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the foll
19、owing would NOT be an example of public goods as described in the passage?A. A taxicab. B. A bridge. C. A fire truck. D. A stoplight.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, finding out the social costs of a public good is a_.A. difficult procedure B. daily administrative dutyC. matter of pers
20、onal judgement D. citizen s responsibility（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first two paragraphs?A. Suggestions for the application of an economic concept are offered.B. Several generalizations are presented from which various conclusions a
21、re drawn.C. Persuasive language is used to argue against a popular idea.D. A general concept is defined and then examples are given.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry rea
22、lly care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what
23、 people say hides their real meaning. And if we don t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You re a lucky dog. “ That s being friendly. But “lucky dog“ ? There s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog
24、“ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your li
25、fe as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn t important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone s words? One way is to take a good loo
26、k at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks7 Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of .what people say to you may save another mistake.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the autho
27、r, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that _.A. we fail to listen carefully when they talkB. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC. people usually state one thing but mean anotherD. we tend to doubt what our friends say（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).In the sentence “Maybe he does
28、nt see it himself“ in paragraph 2, the pronoun “it“ refers to _.A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us is to _.A. notice the way the person is talkingB. take a good look at the person talkin
29、gC. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author most probably is a _.A. teacher B. psychologist C. philosopher D. doctor（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Have
30、 you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings (误解)? Little wonder. We olden believe were more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study, speakers tried to express their mean
31、ings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Heres some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:(1) Dont trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh“ to be polite or move the conversation along. But i
32、t s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.(2) Train the editor(编辑) in your head. If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her husband,“ it s not clear whether she s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, “Beth talks to her husband about her problems. “ or “Beth talks to ot
33、hers about the problems with her husband. “(3) Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right. “ Questions like “How does that sound?“ or “Does that make sense?“ may also work.(4) Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be
34、 sure you re on the same page. After all, it isnt just the speakers job to make his speech understood.（分数：12.00）(1).Why does the writer give us the advice?A. Were not skillful enough to make clear sentences.B. Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then.D. I
35、t s impolite to say NO to others.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The writer suggests that when talking to others, the speaker should _.A. know that listeners will show him that they understand his wordsB. express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understandingC. notice listener s signs of understandin
36、gD. look directly into his listeners eyes（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).By Train the editor in your head, the speakers are advised _.A. to get themselves trained by a good editorB. to discuss problems with their husbands or wivesC. to express themselves in long but simple sentencesD. to make sure each sentenc
37、e has only one meaning（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In the last paragraph, the words “youre on the same page“ mean that _A. you re following the speaker closelyB. you re reading the same page as the speaker doesC. you should know which page the speaker refers toD. your story is written on the same page as th
38、e speakers（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings-battles lost and
39、 won, kings or rulers overthrown or killedtook months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplyin
40、g news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring att
41、ention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements
42、makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.（分数：12.00）(1).In the past, news was _.A. sent by telegraph B. sent by letterC. passed from one person to another D. sent by telephone（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The money spent on advertisements is _.A. wasted B. not

46、s. This May Be Your Lucky Day!“For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up |loping.
