31、the time of Rene Coty. Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister. He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production. It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to compete with those produced in other countrie
32、s. The French economy needed a large share of the international market to balance its import and export trade.French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone long-ranged developments. Essential imports had stretched the national
33、 credit to the breaking point. Rents were tightly controlled, but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the workers income. Wages, it is true, had risen. Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by
34、 the state, and there were full-time and over-time employment. Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this precarious and discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.The government was reluctant to
35、 let workers leave the country. It was feared that this migration of workers would deplete the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced. Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods p
36、roduced in foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the French workers were _. A. better paid than workers in other European countries B
37、. able to save more money with the increase in their wages C. anxious to work abroad D. often unable to find work in France（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Rene Coty and Charles Deschanel were both interested in _.

38、se tariffs on foreign imports D. eliminating unions in France（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The French government was reluctant to let the workers leave the country because _. A. it would increase the working force in its surrounding countries B. it would affect the improvement of quality in industrial produc
39、tion C. it would decrease the countrys exports of quality goods D. it would damage the imports from other European countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “precarious“ in the last sentence of the second paragraph can best be replaced by which of the following words? A. Unsatisfactory. B. Dangerous. C
40、. Unstable. D. Irregular.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).France was unable to increase the production of quality goods at home due to _. A. the governments reluctance to let workers leave the country B. lack of qualified workers as a result of labor force drain C. decrease of the quantity of quality goods prod
41、uced in foreign countries D. the precarious and discouraging situation（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、BText 2/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today the wheel. This made it easier to carry h
42、eavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much anymore. They began to
43、work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909.
44、Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over disease. They worked very
45、 well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the, 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but
46、the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the m
47、oon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.（分数：10.00）(1).What was the first great invention? A. The wheel. B. The camera. C. Movies. D. Nylon.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).When did people stop exploring a lot? A. In the second half of the 19th century
