10、the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England. “One man draws out the wire; another strengthens it; a third cuts it; a fourth points it; a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the he

11、ad requires two or three operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man

12、 will some times perform two or three of them. “ Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins per worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, none of them could have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps

13、 not even one. There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the di

14、fference between expanding economies and those that stand still (停滞不前). But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.（分数：20.00）(1).According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to _.（分数：4.00）A.take advantage of the division of l

15、aborB.introduce the division of labor into EnglandC.understand the effects of the division of laborD.explain the causes of the division of labor(2).Adam Smith saw that the division of labor _.（分数：4.00）A.enabled each worker to make pins more quickly and more cheaplyB.increased the possible output per

16、 workerC.increased the number of people employed in factoriesD.improved the quality of pins produced(3).Adam Smith mentioned the number 4 800 in order to _.（分数：4.00）A.show the advantages of the division of laborB.show the advantages of the old craft systemC.emphasize how powerful the individual work

17、er wasD.emphasize the importance of increased production(4).According to the writer, Adam Smith“s mistake was in believing that division of labor _.（分数：4.00）A.was an efficient way of organizing workB.was an important development in methods of productionC.certainly led to economic developmentD.increa

18、sed the production of existing goods(5).Which of the following could serve as an appropriate title for the passage?（分数：4.00）A.Adam Smith, the English Economist.B.The Theory of Division of Labor.C.Division of Labor, an Efficient Way of Organizing Work.D.Adam Smith, the Last Discoverer of Division of

19、Labor.四、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：20.00)In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention

20、. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it“s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to

21、feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a

22、date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently; promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be

23、regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, thoug

24、h perhaps he will not complete the sentence.（分数：20.00）(1).“The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. “Here “attached“ means（分数：4.00）A.takenB.drawnC.givenD.shown(2).Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at midnight, this would mean _.（分数：4.00）A.the matter is less im

25、portantB.the matter is somewhat importantC.the matter requires immediate attentionD.it is a matter of critical importance(3).According to this passage, time plays an important role in _.（分数：4.00）A.everyday lifeB.private lifeC.communicationsD.transmission(4).The best title for this passage is _.（分数：4

28、hort apology.五、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves offand on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will de

29、tect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog! ) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again. The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect

30、 faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder.

31、 This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal cardthe one you use for shoppingmaybe using a number known only to you. It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock o

32、r with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer. The computer will be more than a fireman policeman servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment“ wi

33、ll mean much more.

37、and Heaters in the Year 2040六、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：20.00)How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that

38、they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associ

39、ationsthe things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. G

40、reat writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing

We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and dull.（分数：20.00）(1).The origin of language is _.（分数：4.00）A.a legend handed down from the pastB.a matte
