30、he morals of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals of the market (paying a price for fasterservice).Markets and queuespaying and waitingare two different ways of allocating things, and each isappropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, “First come, first served, have an ega
31、litarian (平等主义的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets. The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern alloccasions. If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, simply beca
32、useits the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by differentstandards.Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply.

33、nk: “Your call will be answered in theorder in which it was received.” This is essential for the morals of the queue.

34、enter technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that comefrom rich places.You might call this telephonic queue jumping.Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we distribute by merit,others by need, still ot
35、hers by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other non-marketways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore. It is striking that mostof the paid queue-jumping schemes weve consideredat airports and amusement parks, in call centers,
36、doctorsoffices, and national parksare recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets haveentered.58.According to the author, which of the following seems governed
37、by the principle “First come, first served”?A. Taking buses.B. Buying houses.C. Flying with an airline.D. Visiting amusement parks.59.

39、9.解析:4、5两段主要是说排队等候原则不是说所有场合都适用,有时候标准是会变的,对待各种场合的录音信息不要太认真,有时候公司会利用呼叫中心给某些人优先权,所以说这种分配事情的原则不是一成不 变的。答案:C60.解析:本文主要讨论了排队等候原则和额外付款得到更快服务的情况,所以B项是文章主要内容。答案:B CIf a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen (氮)dissolved (溶解) in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of press
40、ure. Theconsequence, if the bubbles (气泡) accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bentbodythus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequencecan be death.Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness ifthey surface too fast: whales, for example.
41、 And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs. That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles ofnitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cellsin the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil (化石)
42、bones that have cavedin on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones tofind out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was howicht
43、hyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and hiscolleagues traveled the worlds natural-history museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassicperiod and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.When he started, he assumed that
44、signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting theirgradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite.More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died, but not a singleTriassic
45、specimen (标本) showed evidence of that sort of injury.If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression means, they clearly did so quicklyand, most strangely,they lost it afterwards. But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened. He suspects it was evolution in otheranimals that caused the change
46、. Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物) such asa large shark. One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both ofwhich were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans, by contrast, were mercifully
47、 shark- and crocodile-free.In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey (猎物) as well as predatorand often had to make a speedy exit as a result.61. Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?A. A twisted body.B. A gradua
48、l decrease in blood supply.C. A sudden release of nitrogen in blood.D. A drop in blood pressure.62. The purpose of Rothschilds study is to see _.A. how often ichthyosaurs caught the bendsB. how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompressionC. why ichthyosaurs bent their bodiesD. when ichthyosaurs broke their
49、 bones63. Rothschilds finding stated in Paragraph 4 _. A. confirmed his assumptionB. speeded up his research processC. disagreed with his assumptionD. changed his research objectives64. Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs _.A. failed to evolve an anti-decompression meansB. gradually developed measures against the bendsC. died out because of large sharks and crocodiles D. evolved an anti-decompression means but soon lost it61.解析:从文章第一段第三句可知是身体的疼痛和弯曲。答案:A62.解析:从文章第三段第二句可
