Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make

18、the correct choice 35 The business cycle is made up of many phases and one of them is the expansion phase which is divided into two parts recovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is a growing expansion of existing equipment. And new facilities for production are created. More busine

19、sses are created and older ones expand. Many kinds of important improvements are made. People hold increasingly positive view about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or “heavy“ industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As more economy depar

20、tments develop, other departments are affected. For example, the expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are activated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers a

21、nd suppliers of raw materials. This increases the amount of goods bought and sold. This prosperity can be seen among the various parts of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise without an obvious end. However, when this phase reaches a peak and stops going upwards, it is the end

22、 of the expansion phase. 36 Which of the following will happen in economic recovery? （ A） The expansion of existing facilities. （ B） The creation of new business. （ C） The increase of optimism about the future of economy. （ D） A11 the above. 37 The word “affected“ in para. 3 means _. （ A） effect （ B

23、） changed （ C） influenced （ D） involved 38 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? （ A） Sections of economy do not influence each other. （ B） In the expansion phase the business maintains development in the long run. （ C） The end of the business in the prosperity period can be obvio

24、usly seen. （ D） Parts of economy are closely related to each other. 39 We can infer from the last paragraph that_. （ A） the end of one business expansion will certainly happen （ B） the business can expand endlessly （ C） economic expansion is fast （ D） economic rise to the peak is slow 40 Whats the p

26、c problems in the form of an unfavorable trade balance (贸易逆差 ) with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $ 250 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $ 100 billion of its own

27、products overseas , its trade deficit is $ 150 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this po-sition because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods. One effect of a trade deficit is t

28、he flow of currency (货币 ) out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large tr

29、ade deficit is reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in US industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries. 41 Wha

30、t is the passage mainly about? （ A） Several worldwide economic problems. （ B） The causes and consequences of trade deficit. （ C） Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries. （ D） The value of exports against imports. 42 According to the passage, when does a trade imbalance occur? （ A） When a count

31、ry has serious economic problem. （ B） When a country sells more products overseas than it imports. （ C） When the value of the products a country imports is greater than the value of the product it exports. （ D） When a country cant develop its natural resources. 43 The word “deficit“ (Line 4, Para. 1

32、) would be best replaced by which of the following? （ A） shortage （ B） situation （ C） increase （ D） products 44 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance? （ A） Low labor and material costs in Asian countries. （ B） A lack of natural resources. （ C） An underdevel

33、oped industrial base. （ D） The high cost of exported items. 45 It can be inferred from the passage that American industries_. （ A） do not pay their workers sufficient wages （ B） are hurt by a trade imbalance （ C） import labor and materials from overseas （ D） provide a strong industrial base that pre

34、vents a trade deficit Task 3 Directions： The following is a passage After reading it， you are required to complete the blanks below it(No 46 through No 50) You should write your answers briefly in no more than three words 45 A contract is an agreement between two or more people in which one person a

It must state clearly the consideration, that is, what is to be given or done by one person in exchange for what is given or done by the o

36、ther. If one person does what was promised and the other does not, the other may be sued in court and required by court order to make good. He or she may also be required to pay for damages suffered as a result of the failure to perform. The things to be done by both parties must be stated in defini

37、te terms or the court will hold that contract is too vague and general to be enforced. Similarly, the time period within which the work is to be done must be definite or the court will say that the document is not a contract. 1) A contract is and【 R1】 _. 2) Usually the contract is a【 R2】 _ document.
