34、wed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.51 The International Monetary Fund(IMF)is the most powerful financial institution on the planet, capable of dictating economic policy to go

35、vernments: Liaquat Ahamed is the author of a best-selling portrait of central banking in the Great Depression, “Lords of Finance“. Putting the two together ought to be a match made in heaven.Sadly, the result is a rather bland book filled with photographs that are about as exciting as one would expe

36、ct pictures of IMF officials and meetings to be. As Mr. Ahamed admits, the IMF gave him permission to follow them around since he was “unlikely to be a troublemaker“. Having accompanied fund officials on a mission to Ireland, he was prevented by Irish government staff from attending the private talk

37、s. As a result, Mr. Ahamed has no real dirt to dish: he clearly admires the work that the fund does and believes in the dedication of its workforce.What he does possess is a thorough knowledge of economic history, and those who want a general idea of the IMFs activities will find this book a useful

38、primer(入门书). The fund was part of the post-war institutional arrangement established at Bretton Woods, and it still retains a slight touch of the colonial era(for example, in the convention that a European should be in charge). But those who believe the IMF to be solely a tool of Western capitalism

39、might be surprised to learn that two of the leaders of the Irish mission were Indians, and that the head of the mission in Mozambique was from Brazil. The fund is able to recruit the best and brightest from all over the world: the money is good and a job with the IMF is a very useful addition to any

40、 economists resume.The fund has taken a lot of criticism over the years, notably for its handling of the Asian crisis in the late 1990s and for its more recent about-face on the effectiveness of austerity(节俭，朴素). As Mr. Ahamed explains, its staff treat their unpopularity in some parts of the world “

41、almost as a badge of honour, seeing themselves as economic doctors willing to prescribe harsh but necessary medicine“. A more critical author might have conducted a forensic(适合辩论的 )examination of that case. Should unelected bureaucrats have so much power when economics is such an inexact science? Bu

42、t then a harsher critic would not have been given the access to write this book.52 The author suggests that Mr. Ahamed has failed_.（A）to show pictures about the IMF（B） to make any trouble to the IMF（C） to follow the IMF staff all around（D）to tell the inside stories about the IMF53 Which of the follo

43、wing would best summarize the authors comment on the book?（A）It hasnt brought the desired result but contains useful knowledge.（B） It is quite boring without pictures the readers expect it to display.（C） It properly presents the outstanding work the IMF has completed.（D）It turns out to be a book int

46、st do better. “Today, children are captivated by science, whether its dinosaurs, tadpoles(蝌蚪)or space. But then that spark is often lost, rather than nourished, because many schools dont have a single teacher who is passionate about physics or maths. “Whats especially sad is how many bright youngste

47、rs fail to qualify for university because theyve been unlucky in their schooling,“ Sir Martin told the Sunday Times.Sir Martin was appointed astronomer royal in 1995. He was master of Trinity College, Cambridge until 2012 and is still involved with the university although “quasi-retired“. “I advise

It is more stimulating and no more likely to be wrong. “Science fiction is seldom fine literature but the concepts and ideas are fascinating, even visionary.“His comments on nurturing young childrens passion for sc
