Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a hou

11、se is called “take a mortgage (抵押)“. The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgage for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $ 50,000. In other words, they will have a $ 50,000 mortgage. How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you

12、 like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial (金融的) history and decide if they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In additio

13、n, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the-price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enou

14、gh money for the down payment.（分数：10.00）(1).What does a house mean in the United States?（分数：2.00）A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize.B.It is so expensive that many people cannot really buy them.C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy.D.It doesn“t belong to pe

15、ople if they can“t borrow money from the bank.(2).If American people borrow money from the bank for 25 years, this means that the person who borrows_.（分数：2.00）A.has twenty-five years to pay back the moneyB.has more than twenty-five years to pay back the moneyC.has less than twenty-five years to pay

16、back the moneyD.has about twenty-five years to pay back the money(3).What does “down payment” refer to in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Money borrowed from a bank as a mortgage.B.Money paid to a bank before the mortgages is given.C.Interest received by a person who borrows money as the mortgages.D.Interest

17、 charged by a bank on a mortgage.(4).Which is not one of the things researched by a bank？（分数：2.00）A.How much money the borrower owns.B.What salary the borrower makes.C.What kind of job the borrower has.D.What kind of house the borrower lives in.(5).The most suitable title for this passage would be _

18、.（分数：2.00）A.How to Save Money on the HouseB.How to Borrow Money from a BankC.How to Take a MortgageD.How to Buy a House四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they

19、need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In th

20、e Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest of money. Other animals were used as money too. The first metal coins were made in China. They were around and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to

21、 place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver. But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to

22、buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.（分数：10.00）(

23、1).Which of the following can be cited as an example of money in exchange for services?（分数：2.00）A.To sell a bicycle for $20.B.To get paid for your work.C.To buy things you need or want.D.To get some money for old books at a garage sale.(2).Where were shells used as money in history?（分数：2.00）A.In the

25、them around.D.Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.(4).Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?（分数：2.00）A.Because they are easy to steal.B.Because they are not easy to carry around.C.Because they thems

26、elves are expensive, too.D.Because they are difficult for people to obtain.(5).Which is the best title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.The History of MoneyB.Money and Its UseC.Different Things Used as MoneyD.Different Countries, Different Money五、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Every human being, no matter

27、what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problemhow to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the h

28、eat given off by such objects as light bubs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus“s six buildings comfortable. Some parts of most modern buildingstheaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than heated by people and lights

29、and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery.“ A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University“s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others. Along the way, Pittsburgh has

30、 learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campu

31、s would be a hardworking, overweight male genius.（分数：10.00）(1).Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it _.（分数：2.00）A.was difficult to collectB.was difficult to get rid ofC.came in a variety of formsD.tended to be absorbed by physical objects(2).Which of the following is true about th

32、e heating system of the Johnstown campus?（分数：2.00）A.The heat is supplied by human bodies only.B.The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel.C.The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heat-emitting objects.D.The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting obje

33、cts, and conventional fuel.(3).The phrase “even in winter” (in line 8) most nearly means _.（分数：2.00）A.if the winter is especially warmB.during all of the year except the winterC.in the winter as well as in other seasonsD.during the evenings in the winter(4).The phrase “heat recovery“ (in line 9) ref

34、ers to a _.（分数：2.00）A.way of reclaiming and re-using heatB.special form of air conditioningC.supplementary hot water systemD.method of concealing the source of heat(5).According to the passage which of the following would produce the LEAST amount of heat?（分数：2.00）A.A thin male who studies hard.B.A t

35、hin female who does not study.C.A fat male who does not study.D.A fat female who studies hard.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man

36、one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are getting us rid of more and more routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are unwilling to challenge the

37、ir authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction (故障). Obviously, there would be no point in buying a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own “internal computers“

38、and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may

39、provide, it should not be seen as a substitute (代替物) for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might_（分数：2.00）A.take controlB.be quite widespreadC.lead us into the post-war eraD.take over routine tasks(2).The

41、r from the post-war era which is very reliableC.the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD.a person“s store of knowledge and the ability to process it(4).The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_（分数：2.00）A.challengingB.psychologicalC.dramaticD.malfu

42、nctioning(5).What is the main purpose of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.To look back to the early days of computers.B.To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C.To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D.To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.七、Part Translati
