26、 a broken leg. I didnt foresee any great difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops on Pimlico Road which is three minutes walk from my fiat, so I set forth one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop confidently expecting a friendly reception,

27、with a kindly man saying, “What a charming chair! Yes, thats quite a simple job. When would you want it back? “I was quite wrong. I wasnt too concerned; after all, it was only the first try and there are many more shops on both sides of the road.The reaction at the second shop, though slightly polit

28、er, was just the same, and at the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. I placed the chair gently on the floor, then the rather fierce shop owner looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a ba

29、d little chair, how much do you want for it?“ “20,“ I said. “Its got a slightly broken leg,“ I said. “Yes, I saw that. Its nothing; dont worry about it. “what will you do with it?“ I asked. “Oh, it will be very saleable once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall

30、leave that, yes, very saleable. “ “Ill buy it,“ I said. “Yes, I know, but Ive changed my mind; as a matter of fact, it is just what Im looking for. Ive got a pair to it at home; Ill give you 27 for it.“ “You must be crazy,“ he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he smiled and said, “I know wha

31、t you want, you want me to mend your chair.“And what would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to repair it for me?“ “I wouldnt have done it,“ he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance(麻烦事情), but Ill mend this for you. /（分数：10.00）(1).The author was no

36、rs ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of living in modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful ears, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exc

37、iting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Smiths contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practising their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out,

38、cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal. Another for Stretching and cutting. Another for s

39、haping. Another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labour, in this way workers re- peat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialisation could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity w

40、as greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth century. British trains and railway lines spread out like a spiders web across the world. British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one corner of th

41、e world to another.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production. What were called mass-production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. Th

42、e pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.（分数：6.00）(1).We should be grateful to Adam Smith because_.A. his ideas made it possible for people to improve

43、 their livesB. he invented a more efficient way of pin makingC. he started the industrial revolutionD. he brought to people a high standard of living.（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The Division of Labour makes work more interesting.B. Specialisation c

44、ould solve the problem of unemployment.C. Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of Labour.D. Adam Smith insisted that each worker be better paid.（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(3).From the passage we know that the Industrial RevolutionA. let to Adam Smiths idea of specialisationB. was finished in the ni

45、neteenth centuryC. also has its side-effects in societyD. put an end to poverty in the world（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, the Industrial Revolution is responsible for the following results exceptA. prosperity B. crimeC. unemploymentD. overcrowdedness（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(5).What is the

46、best title for this passage?A. The Theory of Division of Labour and Its SignificanceB. The Industrial Revolution and Its SignificanceC. The Causes of Industrial RevolutionD. Adam Smith, the Economist and Philosopher（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)At the European Commission in Brussels, they

47、 have a joke about the work interpreters do “Languages“, they say, “have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. “Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere lingui

48、stic ability.To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organizations own scho

49、ol, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At Londons University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreters course if they can show that they have “lived a bit“, in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also
