Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes (
36、e. g. clothmaking, sewing and caning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home economy could still produce these goods, the processed were laborious (费力的) and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evidentthe marketplace began produc
37、ing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them (e. g. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was le
38、ss efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these fruits of industrialization, they would have to obtained in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as in nursing the sick, became socially unaccepta
39、ble (and, in most serious cases ,probably less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of the horsedrawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the appearance of television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of background music, so most of the
40、 fruits of economic growth did not increase the options available to the home economy to either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in consumer goods, but not increased flexibility for the home economy in obtaining these goods and se
41、rvices. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical(新古曲主义的) model that views the family as deciding whether to produc
42、e goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the second (and current) stage.（分数：4.00）(1).The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that _ .（分数：1.00）A.it was a nec
43、essary step in the process of industrializationB.they depended on electricity available only to the market economyC.it was troublesome to produce such goods in the homeD.the marketplace was more efficient with respect to these processes(2).It can be seen from the passage that in the second stage _ .
44、（分数：1.00）A.some traditional goods and services were not successful when provided by the home economyB.the market economy provided new goods and services never produced by the home economyC.producing traditional goods at home became socially unacceptableD.whether new goods and services were produced
45、by the home economy became irrelevant(3).During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace _ .（分数：1.00）A.as wage earnersB.both as manufacturers and consumersC.both as workers and purchasersD.as customers(4).Economic growth did not make
46、 it more flexible for the home economy to obtain the new goods and services because _ .（分数：1.00）A.the family was not efficient in productionB.it was illegal for the home economy to produce themC.it could not supply them by itselfD.the market for these goods and services was limitedBD/BThere are appr

It now turns out that these critters may be helping to alter the climate and affect mans life.For years scientists have been saying that carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere by the burning of fuels might lead to the ris
48、e in temperatures of the whole earth, owing to the greenhouse effect in which the gas prevents the escape of heat into outer space. Now an international team of researchers has discovered that termites generate more than twice the carbon dioxide that fuel burning does. And this production, which comes from the insects eating and consuming of different kinds of vegetables and wood, has risen greatly. This is chiefly because man has cut so many trees in order to op
