18、6 It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can be
19、nefit from our national defense without reducing another persons benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a publ
20、ic good can not be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area an
21、yway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we can not ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using
22、 taxes. 36 According to the passage, public goods are_. （ A） services enjoyed by all people （ B） what we can buy and sell in public （ C） products that we make for national defense （ D） taxes paid by the people involved 37 The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to sh
23、ow that_. （ A） there will be no safety if there is no national defense （ B） all the people should be responsible for national defense （ C） a public good is a shared benefit for the whole society （ D） some public goods are more important than others 38 The person who does not pay for a public good_.
24、（ A） keeps himself from using its benefit （ B） cannot enjoy its benefit at any time （ C） fails to keep its benefit from being used （ D） enjoys its benefit all the same 39 In the third paragraph the author explains_. （ A） what role the market system plays in producing public goods （ B） how weak the m
25、arket system is in producing public goods （ C） why some people refuse to pay for public goods （ D） what we can do to make use of the market system 40 From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to_. （ A） ensure the continuous supply of public goods （ B） reduce the difference be
26、tween the rich and the poor （ C） get extra money to support public goods （ D） remind people of their duty Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Accidents are caused; they dont just happen. The reason may be easy to
27、 sec: an overloaded tray, a shell out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than that there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune frustration, tiredness or just bad temper that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself. Road accidents, for example, happ
28、en frequently after a family quarrel and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others. By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current,
29、that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness. It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions mak
30、e people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an acc
31、ident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgmentnoise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the norm
32、al risk of accidents at work. 41 This passage might be taken from （ A） a text book （ B） a science fiction （ C） a popular magazine （ D） a report of a manufacturer 42 Accident-prone here (in Para. 2) means _. （ A） liable to have accidents （ B） injured in accidents （ C） likely to die in accidents （ D）
33、responsible for road accidents 43 The passage suggests that _. （ A） accidents mostly result from slippery roads （ B） accidents are usually caused by psychological factors （ C） doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories （ D） about 50,000 people lose their lives at work in Brita
34、in every day 44 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents in this passage? （ A） Mood. （ B） Tiredness. （ C） Carelessness. （ D） Weather. 45 Which do you think would be the best title for the passage? （ A） Accidents and Anxiety （ B） How Accidents Are Caused （ C） Human Factors in
35、Accidents （ D） How to Prevent Accidents on Roads and in Factories Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks. 46 Along
36、with the grand view of the Great Wall, travelers to Beijing shouldnt miss tasting the Beijing Roasted Duck. To enjoy the famous duck, the restaurant Quan Ju De is the best choice for you. It has multiple outlets in Beijing. The old restaurant first opened in 1860. The duck here is said to be the bes
37、t in Beijing, and the service is very good as well. Before you take up the menu, you might want to know more about how Beijing Roasted Duck is made and how it is served. The ducks are raised for the sole purpose of making the food. Force-fed, they are kept in cages which restrain them from moving ab
38、out, so as to fatten them up and make the meat comparably tender. Beijing Roasted Duck is processed in several steps: first the ducks are rubbed with spices, salt and sugar, and then kept hung in the air for some time. Then the ducks are roasted in an oven, or hung over the fire till they become bro
39、wn with rich grease perspiring outside and have a nice color. Beijing Duck is always served in well-cut slices. The whole duck must be sliced into 120 pieces and every piece has to be perfect with the complete layers of the meat. Normally there are many dishes served with the duck, including a dish
40、of fine-cut shallot bars, a dish of cucumber bars and finally a dish of paste-like soy of fermented wheat flour. Without these the dainty duck is surely in the shade.
