13、TIONS In this section there are several passages followed by fourteen multiple-choice questions. For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A , B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. 25 Historians tend to date the birth of modern capitalism to t
14、he late sixteenth and early seventeen centuries, but to understand what actually occurred an important distinction must be made. Here are basically two types of capitalism: commercial and industrial. In commercial capitalism the capitalist is usually a merchant who invests money both in buying the r
15、aw material and in marketing the finished product one produced. In the case of wool cloth, for example, the merchant buys the raw wool: then either the merchant or the agent carries the wool to the artisans who spin, weave, and dye it in their shops or homes. They usually work by the piece and own o
16、r rent their equipment. When the cloth is finished, the merchant then sells the product: the merchants profit lies in the difference between what the cloth cost to produce and the purchase price of the finished goods. This form of capitalism, with the merchant as capitalist, began in the Middle Ages
17、 and remained the dominant form for the production of industrial goods down to the eighteenth century. The economic boom of the sixteenth century did not significantly affect the way the goods were produced: what did change was the number of people engaged in producing. The production of industrial
18、goods significantly increased in the sixteenth century because so many more independent producers were working for the merchant. Industrial capitalism, on the other hand, refers to investment in the modes or means of production. In this case the capitalist is not the merchant but the factory or mine
19、 owner. Investment in machines means more productivity per worker and more variety in products. In the sixteenth century a rapid surge in the amount of investment in machinery occurred in such areas as metalworking, glass making, paper production, coal mining and firearms manufacture. Although the o
20、utput of goods provided by industrial capitalism climbed significantly after 1550, until the end of the eighteenth century commercial capitalism was responsible for most of the industrial production of Europe. 26 The phrase “work by the piece“ in the first paragraph means_. ( A) mass production ( B)
21、 efficient production ( C) small-scale production ( D) full production 27 The first paragraph of this passage is mostly about_. ( A) products produced under industrial capitalism ( B) how commercial capitalism operates ( C) how industrial capitalism operates ( D) the economic boom of the sixteenth c
22、entury 28 According to the passage, commercial capitalism dominated the European economy until the_. ( A) Middle Ages ( B) sixteenth century ( C) beginning of the eighteenth century ( D) end of the eighteenth century 28 From a hillside, Kamal Saadat looked forlornly at hundreds of potential customer
23、s, knowing he could not take them for trips in his boat to enjoy a spring weekend on picturesque Oroumieh Lake, the third largest saltwater lake on earth, which now lay encased by solidifying salt.

24、 to migrating flamingos, pelicans and gulls, has shrunken by 60 percent and could disappear entirely in just a few years drained by drought, misguided irrigation policies, development and the damming of rivers that feed it.
