22、0）A.B.C.D.三、BSection Readi(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、BPassage One/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Americas economic recovery remains uncomfortably weak. The latest data show industrial production falling while the trade deficit soars to record levels. To round off a dismal week for economic statistics, the Fed (美联储) announc
23、ed that industrial production fell by 0.2% in December compared with the previous month. That came as a disappointment to economists who had been expecting a small rise. Monthly data are always unreliable, of course; there is always a plausible explanation for unexpectedly bad (or good) news. But ne
24、arly all recent economic statistics point to the same conclusion-that Americas recovery remains sluggish and erratic. It could put pressure on the Fed to consider cutting interest rates again when its policymaking committee meets at the end of the month.The biggest obstacle to healthier economic per
25、formance, though, is political. As the Feds chairman, Alan Greenspan, acknowledged in the closing months of 2002, uncertainty about the future is holding both investors and consumers back. The shadowy threat of international terrorism and the much more explicit prospect of a war with Iraq have made
26、many Americans nervous about the future. For businesses still reeling from the speed at which the late-1990s boom turned to slump, the political climate is one more reason to put off investing in new plant and equipment or hiring new staff. For consumers, for so long the mainstay of the American eco
27、nomy, the thrill of the shopping mall seems, finally, to be on the wane.It is hard to put a favorable interpretation on most of the data. But it is important to keep a sense of perspective. Some recent figures look disappointing partly because they fall short of over-optimistic forecasts - a persist
28、ent weakness of those paid to predict the economic future, no matter how often they are proved wrong. The Fed will be watching carefully for further signs of weakness during the rest of the month. Mr. Greenspan is an avid, even obsessive, consumer of economic data. He has made it clear that the Fed
29、stands ready to reduce interest rates again if it judges it necessary-even after 12 cuts in the past two years. At its last meeting, though, when it kept rates on hold, the Fed signaled that it did not expect to need to reduce rates any further.Monetary policy still offers the best short-term policy
30、 response to weak economic activity, and with inflation low the Fed still has scope for further relaxation. President Bushs much-vaunted fiscal stimulus is unlikely to provide appropriate help, and certainly not in a timely way.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following best describes the Americas economi
31、c situation? A. It is recovering. B. It faces an uncertain future. C. It remains depressing. D. It shows unreliable signs.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the figure 0.2% in Paragraph 1 indicate? A. Americas economic recovery is still shaky. B. Economists are disappointed at the future economy. C. It
32、is a bad sign for Americas economic recovery. D. The biggest obstacle to healthier economic performance is political.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What factor makes investors put off investing in new plant and equipment? A. The sluggish economic situation. B. The direct threat of international terrorism. C.
33、The possibility of a war with Iraq. D. Investors shortage of capital.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the authors attitude toward some recent figures mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Worrisome. D. Critical.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).How does monetary policy offer help for weak economi
34、c activity? A. It can stimulate investment in new plant and equipment. B. It can reduce interest rates so as to stimulate weak economic activity. C. The Fed tries to keep inflation low. D. President Bush can offer appropriate monetary policy.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、BPassage Two/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In some c
35、ountries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to citie
36、s and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence-as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realizatio
37、n that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instinct remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. W
38、e have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering means nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who kno
39、w where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our eff
40、orts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed eff
41、ort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social program. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.Before w
42、e can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each others problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. “Talk, talk, talk,“ the advocates of violence say, “all you ever do is talk
43、, and we are none the wiser.“ Its rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. “Possibly, my Lord,“ the barrister replied, “none the wiser,
44、but surely far better informed.“ Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the best title for this passage? A. Advocating Violence. B. Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice. C. Important Pe
45、ople on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution. D. The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, recorded history has taught us _. A. violence never solves anything B. nothing C. the bloodshed means nothing D. everything（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D
46、.(3).It can be inferred that truly reasonable men _. A. cant get a hearing B. are looked down upon C. are persecuted D. have difficulty in advocating law enforcement（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The sentence “He was none the wiser“ (Paragraph 3) probably means _. A. he was not at all wise in listening B. he
47、was not at all wiser than nothing before C. he gains nothing after listening D. he makes no sense of the argument（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the author the best way to solve race prejudice is _. A. law enforcement B. knowledge C. nonviolence D. mopping up the violent mess（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、BPassage Three(总题数：1，分数：1
