For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 26 It would be

14、 difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from ou

15、r national defense without reducing another persons benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good can n

16、ot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs.

17、 Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we can not ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes. 26 Ac

18、cording to the passage, public goods are_. （ A） services enjoyed by all people （ B） what we can buy and sell in public （ C） products that we make for national defense （ D） taxes paid by the people involved 27 The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that_. （ A

19、） there will be no safety if there is no national defense （ B） all the people should be responsible for national defense （ C） a public good is a shared benefit for the whole society （ D） some public goods are more important than others 28 The person who does not pay for a public good_. （ A） keeps hi

20、mself from using its benefit （ B） cannot enjoy its benefit at any time （ C） fails to keep its benefit from being used （ D） enjoys its benefit all the same 29 In the third paragraph the author explains_. （ A） what role the market system plays in producing public goods （ B） how weak the market system

21、is in producing public goods （ C） why some people refuse to pay for public goods （ D） what we can do to make use of the market system 30 From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to_. （ A） ensure the continuous supply of public goods （ B） reduce the difference between the ric

22、h and the poor （ C） get extra money to support public goods （ D） remind people of their duty Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 30 India is the worlds biggest gold consumer, but the countrys passion for the yellow

23、metal is waning. Record high prices and the recent economic recession have taken away some of the glitter of gold. The countrys passion for gold is rooted in culture and custom. Gold ornaments (装饰品 ) are a traditional wedding present to brides and a gift of the precious metal during their religious

24、festivals means good fortune. It is a traditional gift on other important occasions, such as the birth of a child. But shop owners say now they only see “essential customers“ those who have to buy for the marriage of a son or a daughter. Even these buyers are scaling back on purchases. Some are pass

25、ing on traditional hereditary (遗传的 ) treasures, instead of buying new gold. Others are cutting back on the quantity of gold they buy and opting for ornaments of lesser weight. Gold is getting hit not just by the surging prices. In the big cities, the attraction of the precious metal is waning, as tr

26、ends change. The new status symbol of the countrys wealthy class is no longer jewelry, but expensive mobile phones, iPods or designer labels. However, in a country where the love of gold dates back centuries, jewelry shop owners say they will wait patiently for sales to pick up. As has happened many

27、 times in the past, they are hoping that customers will flock back, once they get accustomed to the higher prices. 31 The reason for the decline of gold sales is that_. （ A） the prices of gold are rising （ B） the price is high and the economy is not satisfying （ C） people no longer like gold as befo

Tests were carded out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressur

33、e, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet.

34、cial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body.
