26、.00)BText 1/BIn the earliest stages of mans development he had no more need of money than animals. He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became mor
27、e civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people Such as smiths, leat
28、her workers or carpenters who were springing up everywhere. It was then that the question of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe
29、 or a plough. But as more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finis
30、hed goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money. In some countries, easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmers, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shel
31、ls. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the meta
32、l and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.（分数：10.00）(1).Early men didnt have to use money because _.（分数：2.00）A.they had simple forms of shelterB.they had to provide food and clothing for themselvesC.they had no enough natural resources around themD.they could
33、meet basic needs through their own efforts(2).The need for exchange arose when _.（分数：2.00）A.men wanted things they themselves could not provideB.men became independent of othersC.skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters sprang everywhereD.people began to learn making tools(3).Men
34、 needed more than simple direct exchange as _.（分数：2.00）A.there were more and more goods the exchange rate of which couldnt be agreed onB.farmers were reluctant to provide their grain and meatC.marketplaces for simple exchange were insufficientD.simple exchange was banned by law(4).The phrase “by deg
35、ree“ in the last paragraph probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.to some degreeB.graduallyC.in the endD.in a way(5).What were used by men for exchange before the invention of coins?（分数：2.00）A.Shells or seeds.B.Cows or camels.C.Flat stones.D.All of the above.BText 2/BThe greatest recent social changes have bee
36、n in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight ch
37、ildren, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fe
38、wer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modem living conditions.This importa
39、nt change in womens life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it.
40、Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relat
41、ionship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to file abilities and interests of each of them.（分数：10.00）(1).According to t
42、he passage, around the year 1900 most women married _.（分数：2.00）A.at about twenty-fiveB.in their early fiftiesC.as soon as possible after they were fifteenD.at any age from fifteen to forty-five(2).We are told that in a common family around the 1900 _.（分数：2.00）A.about half of the children died before
43、 they were fiveB.seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC.the youngest child would be fifteenD.four or five children died when they were five(3).When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth-century mother _.（分数：2.00）A.would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsB.was usually expected to d
44、ie fairly soonC.would expect to work until she diedD.was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one(4).According to the passage, the women of today usually _.（分数：2.00）A.marry instead of getting paid workB.marry before they are twenty-fiveC.have more children under fifteenD.have too few children(5
45、).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Even a few years ago the girls would leave work at once when they married.B.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen.C.Today more married women leave work long before their first child is born.D.Very many more women today return to full or pa

Accountants and bank tellers are at school learning a new business skill.“Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey,“ they chant together, pulling their mouths into a grin at the end of each word.Theyre practising smiling. Instructors say its
47、 the hardest part of the curriculum at Korean Air Service Academy, a school that aims to make South Korean business more globally competitive by teaching “international manners.“South Koreans have difficulty in smiling,“ said Y. D. Lee, the academys general manager. “Our ancestors had the philosophy
48、 that the serious person stern or strict is better than the smiling one. Thats why our students are chanting.“The academy not only teaches service with a smile, but also proper greetings, Korean bowing, posture, the importance of a polite refusal and so on.And its not just for business.Officials at the academy say their fastest-growing group of students comes from the government. Thats partly because businesses have been tightening their belts during the economic crisis of the past two years and partly because citizens are demanding better treatment from the go
