In the short run, an “【 21】 “ monetary policy can stimulate the economy to grow faster and to

10、lower the【 22】 rate. In the long run, output and unemployment depend on real factors such as population growth and improvements in technology, and【 23】 . One way to insulate monetary policy from day-to-day political【 24】 is to give the central bank greater independence. In this respect, the Federal

11、Reserve or Fed ranks toward the top among the worlds central banks. First, the Governors on the Board are appointed to【 25】 year terms. They are nominated by the U.S. President and confirmed by the【 26】 . Second, the Reserve Bank Presidents are selected by our Reserve Banks Board of Directors and ap

12、proved by the Board of Governors. This provides further insulation from【 27】 politics. Third, the Fed covers its own operating expenses, so it isnt dependent on Congressional【 28】 . However, Fed is not free of【 29】 to the government. In fact, the phrase usually used to describe the Fed is “independe

13、nt within government. “ There is a way beyond such【 30】 means to make monetary policy even more independent of political pressure to inflate, because the Congress gives the Fed a clear statement that low inflation is its goal.

14、ecific low-inflation goals. 一、 Part Vocabulary and Structure 31 _ enough time and money, the researchers would have been able to discover more in this field. （ A） Giving （ B） To give （ C） Given （ D） Being given 32 Nuclear science should be developed to benefit the people _ harm them. （ A） more than

There was a pause of complete stillness in which the buzzing

23、 of the bees among the pink roses sounded as loud as a flight of aircraft. I said, “Grandfather?“ on a note of painful hesitation. His voice was harsh when he spoke, and the words uncompromising, but I had seen him wet his lips and make the attempt twice, “Well, Annabel?“ I went quickly across the r

24、oom and knelt down beside the sofa and put my hands on his lap, on top of the old rug. His thin hand, with its prominent blue-knotted veins, came down hard over mine, surprisingly strong and warm. In the end it was easy to know what to say. I said quite simply, “Im sorry, Grandfather. Will you have

25、me back?“ The hand moved, holding mine together even more tightly. “If I said no,“ said Grandfather crisply, “it would be no more than you deserve.“ He cleared his throat violently. “We thought you were dead.“ “Im sorry.“ His other hand reached forward and lifted my chin. He studied my face, turning

26、 it towards the light of the window. I bit my lip and waited, not meeting his gaze. He said nothing for a long time, then, as harshly as before, “Youve been unhappy, havent you?“ I nodded. He let me go, and at last I was able to put my forehead down on the rug so that he couldnt see my face. He said

27、, “So have we,“ and fell silent patting my hand. 46 The passage is about a girl _. （ A） who came to visit her grandfather （ B） who had been away in college and came back home （ C） who returned home later than the appointed time （ D） who ran away from home and returned 47 As described in the passage,

28、 Annabel knelt down beside the sofa because _. （ A） she wanted to show her respect for her grandfather （ B） it was convenient for the girl to speak by kneeling down （ C） she hoped her grandfather would forgive her kneeling down （ D） it was the habit in her country to speak to elders kneeling down 48

But more and more are working as summer interns. Some internship programs accept students in high school. Internships are usuall

32、y unpaid, and the work might not always be the most exciting. But they offer a chance to gain experience in business, public service or some other area of interest. They can also be a chance to get to know a possible future employer. More importantly, internships can help students make sure their ar

33、ea of study is a good choice. For most organizations, interns mean extra workers for little or no cost. Some interns are promised a full-time job once they finish their studies. Yet some students have no choice but to get a paying job during the summer. They have a real financial need. Interns provi

34、de free labor, but internship programs can involve costs for travel, housing and meals. Businesses might require interns to receive college credit for their experience. These businesses are concerned about labor laws that say workers must receive something in return for their work. So, if not money,

35、 then credits. Many colleges and universities resist such requirements. They say students should earn credit only for school experience. Some other schools provide the credits but charge students for them. So, for a student from a poor family, an unpaid internship just may not be possible. Economic

36、realities like this sometimes lead to criticism of internship programs. But some colleges and universities are offering help for students who want to be interns. Some provide scholarships to help pay for housing and meals, but they do not always give academic credits. Brandeis University near Boston

37、, Massachusetts, offers a summer internship class. Students pay for one college credit. They must write an essay or keep a journal of their internship. Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, is considering a similar one-credit summer class. Associate Dean John Bader says the students would

38、 work with a professor, but would not have to pay any money. 51 American high school students and college students may work as summer interns. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 52 Interns may appeal to the workers union if they are not paid properly. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 53 Most companies would use the chance

39、of internships to find potential employees. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 54 Colleges and universities would not give academic credits to the summer interns. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 55 Internships are still not very poplar in the U.S. because of its high cost. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 55 Recently we had some rep

40、orts about concerns over the progress of boys in the American education system. Some people say there is a crisis for boys. Others say there are problems for some boys. But they say the situation is not so much that boys axe falling behind as that girls are catching up with boys. Today we examine ch

41、anges that have taken place at the college level. Here there are similar issues. Some people are worried about the situation for men while others praise areas of progress for women. In 1970s, women represented forty-two percent of college students in the United States. Now they are about fifty-six p

42、ercent. A recent report called “The Truth About Boys and Girls“ included this information-but not as evidence of a crisis. Sara Mead, a policy analyst at the research group Education Sector, wrote the report. She sees the situation this way: Yes, men are earning fewer four-year college degrees than

43、women. But men are still earning more degrees than they have in the past, only at a slower growth rate than women. And, yes, more women than men are also earning masters degrees. But men still earn more doctorates. These are the degrees needed to become a doctor or a lawyer or a professor. In additi

44、on, men hold more positions of power and earn more money on average than women do. There are many theories why males and females perform differently in their schooling. Some are based on recent brain research, but others center on environment. Some people say boys now face a hostile environment in A

45、merican education. 56 This article focuses on the men at the level of _. 57 What is the present percentage of men college students in the U.S. ? 58 Sara Mead does not take it as a crisis that men are earning fewer four-year college degrees than women because _. 59 At which stage men are earning more

Although sales promotion works most closely with

47、 advertising, it is also related to other elements of marketing: production services, packaging, price, and distribution. At the manufacturing and wholesale levels of distribution, the methods used to motivate personnel to meet specific goals usually fall into two categories-sales incentive prizes (

48、such as merchandise, travel, or cash awards) and sales contests. Both are based upon the salesperson reaching an objective above the normal sales quota. Consumer promotions encompass a wide variety of techniques, including sampling of goods or services, store “money-off“ coupons to encourage the tri

49、al of products, special price-reduced packages, mail-in premium merchandise offers, cash or coupon refunds by mail, special product packaging and contests. During recessionary periods, when the demand for consumer expendable dollars becomes more competitive, there is greater participation in refund, coupon, and premium offers. More than half the households in the U.S. take advantage of some sales promotion offers each year. Sales p
