21、BDirections:/B Read the following passage, decide on the best one of the choices marked A, B, C, and D for each question or unfinished statement and then mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square bracket on ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe Commercial Revolution was not confined, o

22、f course, to the growth of trade and banking. Included in it also were fundamental changes in methods of production. The system of manufacture developed by the craft guilds in the later Middle Ages was rapidly becoming defunct. The guilds themselves, dominated by the master craftsmen, had grown self

23、ish and exclusive. Membership in them was commonly restricted to a few privileged families. Besides, they were so completely choked by tradition that they were unable to make adjustments to changing conditions. Moreover, new industries had sprung up entirely outside the guild system. Characteristic

24、examples were mining and smelting and the woolen industry. The rapid development of these enterprises was stimulated by technical advances, such as the invention of the spinning wheel and the discovery of a new method of making brass, which saved about half of the fuel previously used. In the mining

25、 and smelting industries a form of organization was adopted similar to that which has prevailed ever since.But the most typical form of industrial production in the Commercial Revolution was the domestic system, developed first of all in the woolen industry. The domestic system derives its name from

26、 the fact that the work was done in the homes of industrial artisans instead of in the shop of a master craftsman. Since the various jobs in the manufacture of a product were given out on contract, the system is also known as the putting out system. Notwithstanding the petty scale of production, the

27、 organization was basically capitalistic. The raw material was purchased by an entrepreneur and assigned to individual worker, each of whom would complete his allotted task for a stipulated payment. In the case of the woolen industry the yam would be given out first of all to the spinners, then to t

28、he weavers, fullers, and dyer in succession. When the cloth was finally finished, it would be taken by the clothier and sold in the open market for the highest price it would bring.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the article, what changes did the Commercial Revolution bring about?（分数：1.00）A.Methods of pro

29、ductionB.Appearance of craft guildsC.Increased trade volumeD.Growth of trade, banking and methods of production(2).The word “defunct“ in the first paragraph most probably means _.（分数：1.00）A.popularB.obsoleteC.potentialD.extensive(3).According to the article, in which area was it more energy-efficien

30、t?（分数：1.00）A.Smelting industryB.Mining industryC.BankingD.Weaving(4).The author implies that _.（分数：1.00）A.The guild system was more efficient.B.The domestic system was capitalistic.C.The technical advances stimulated the guild system.D.The domestic system was not as efficient as the guild system.(5)

31、.According to the article, which one of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.Technical advances stimulated the development of enterprises.B.In the woolen industry, weavers would pass on their products to spinners.C.The domestic system is also known as the putting out system.D.The word “cl

32、othier“ is synonymous to “entrepreneur“ in this context.Passage TwoAnd researchers say that like those literary romantics Romeo and Juliet, they may be blind to the consequences of their quests for an idealized mate who serves their every physical and emotional need.Nearly 19 in 20 never-married res

33、pondents to a national survey agree that “when you marry you want your spouse to be your soul mate, first and foremost,“ according to the State of our Unions: 2001 study released Wednesday by Rutgers University.David Popenoe, a Rutgers sociologist and one of the studys authors, said that view might

34、spell doom for marriages.“It really provides a very unrealistic view of what marriage really is,“ Popenoe said. “The standard becomes so high, its not easy to bail out if you didnt find a soul mate.“The survey points to a fundamental dilemma in which younger people want more from the institution of

35、marriage while they seemingly are unwilling to make the necessary commitments.The survey also suggests that some respondents expect too much from a spouse, including the kind of emotional support rendered by same-sex friends. The authors of the study also suggest that the generation that was polled

36、may more quickly leave a marriage because of infidelity than past generations.Popenoe said the poll, conducted by the Gallup Organization, is the first of its kind to concentrate on people in their 20s. A total of 1, 003 married and single young adults nationwide were interviewed by telephone betwee

37、n January and March. The margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points.Respondents said they eventually want to get married, realize its a lot of work and think there are too many divorces. They believe there is one right person for them out there somewhere and think their own marriages w

38、ont end in divorce.Since the poll is the first of its kind, researchers say it is impossible to say if expectations about marriage are changing or static.But scholars say the search for soul mates has increased over the last generation-and the last century-as marriage has become an institution cente

39、ring on romance rather than utility.“One hundred years ago, people married for financial reasons, for tying families together, they married for political reasons,“ said John DeLamater, a sociologist at the University of Wisconsin. “And most people had children.“Those conditions are no longer the cas

40、e for young adults like David Asher, a 24-year waiter in a Trenton cafe who has been in a relationship for about two years. He wants to wait to make sure hes ready to exchange vows.“I know a lot of it has to do with financial reasons,“ he said. “Maybe if youre going to have children, marriage is the

41、 best bet.“But the main reason for matrimony: “If youre in love with someone, its sort of like promising to them you are in love.“Thats all well and good, said Heather Helms- Erikson, an assistant professor of human development and family studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, bu

42、t passion partly in endorpin-caused physiological phenomenon-has been known to diminish in time.（分数：5.00）(1).Whats the best title of this passage?（分数：1.00）A.Marriage Scholars Worry Search for “Soul Mates“ is Unrealistic.B.People Should Seek for Romantic Love like Romeo and Juliet.C.Marriage Should H

43、appen between Soul Mates.D.Search for “Soul Mates“ Should be Superseded by Reality.(2).The new study in this passage shows that _.（分数：1.00）A.many American are very practical when they search for a spouseB.American 20-somethings have a largely romantic view of marriageC.Romantic view of marriage migh

44、t lead marriage to a happy endingD.Americans are fond of marriage life so they will not care cohabitation(3).It can be inferred that the author would most likely agree with which of the following statements regarding marriage?（分数：1.00）A.It usually involves idealized mates who can serve their every p

45、hysical and emotional need.B.It may not be realized unless the couple consider carefully about their responsibility and commitment.C.It becomes more unrealistic nowadays than in the past because most people center on romance instead of utility.D.It results from many reasons such as financial reasons

46、, family reunion, and political reasons.(4).Which of the following is not one of the differences between this generation and the past generations as far as marriage is concerned?（分数：1.00）A.The young people nowadays require more from marriage but they seem not to be willing to make necessary commitme

47、nts.B.This generation expects too much from their spouses and they can not keep to be faithful to their husbands or wives.C.The young people at present pay more attention to look for soul mates than the past generations when they search for partners.D.Now some young people usually marry for the same

48、 reasons as the older generations such as financial ones and children.(5).Which of the following sentences will Heather Helms-Erikon use to illustrate her own argument?（分数：1.00）A.Ten years into a marriage, you will still have great passion and you notice someone else and say, “Only my wife or husban

49、d is my soul mate.“B.“The romantic part of marriage -while it can be there -should not be substituted by other things such as shared values antisocial status.“C.“The couple should focus on the three Cs -communication, conflict resolution and commitment to make marriage the first priority.“D.“Ten years int
