8、es from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one persons utilization does not reduce the possibilities of anybody elses enjoying the same good. Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood contr

9、ol dam is a public goods. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefitirrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effective

10、ly excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded. It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social ben

11、efits associated with public goods. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense. Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic analysis h

12、as to be substituted for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.（分数：8.00）(1).What does the passage mainly discuss?（分数：2.00）A.Mechanisms for safer navigation.B.The economic structure of the marketplace.C.A specific group of commodities.D.The advantages of lowering taxes.(2).Which of the followin

15、e is used to argue against a popular idea.D.A general concept is defined and then examples are given.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?“ “When I got that great job, did Jim rea

16、lly feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen closely

17、we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.“ Thats being friendly. But “lucky dog“? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserv

18、e your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your probl

19、em isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree

20、 with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that _.（分数：2.00）A.we fail to liste

21、n carefully when they talkB.people tend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC.people usually state one thing but mean anotherD.we tend to doubt what our friends say(2).In the sentence “Maybe he doesnt see it himself“ in paragraph 2, the pronoun “it“ refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.being friendlyB.a bit

22、of envyC.lucky dogD.your luck(3).When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to _.（分数：2.00）A.notice the way the person is talkingB.take a good look at the person talkingC.mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD.examine the real meaning of what he says ba

23、sed on his manner, his tone and his posture(4).The author most probably is a _.（分数：2.00）A.teacherB.psychologistC.philosopherD.doctorHave you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)?

24、ally are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Heres some good advice to reduce misunderstanding: (1)Dont t

25、rust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh“ to be polite or move the conversation along. But its easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2) Train the editor (编辑) in your head. If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her husband,“ its not clea

26、r whether shes talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, “Beth talks to her husband about her problems.“ or “Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.“ (3) Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right.“ Questions

27、like “How does that sound?“ or “Does that make sense?“ may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure youre on the same page. After all, it isnt just the speakers job to make his speech understood.（分数：8.00）(1).Why does the writer give us the advice?（分数：2.00）A.Were
