Eight sentences have been removed from the article.Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap.For each gap (1-8) m

29、ark one letter (A-H) on the Answer SheetMost people associate inflation with price increases on specific goods and services. (1) We must be careful to distinguish the phenomenon of inflation from price increases for specific goods. (2) Suppose you wanted to know the average price of fruit in the sup

30、ermarket. (3) You might have some success, however, if you sought out the prices of apples, oranges, cherries, and peaches. Knowing the price of each kind of fruit, you could then compute the average price of fruit. The resultant figure would not refer to any particular product, but would convey a s

31、ense of how much a typical basket of fruit might cost. (4) On occasion, you might even notice that apple prices rose while orange prices fell, leaving the average price of fruit unchanged.The same kinds of calculations are made to measure inflation in the entire economy. We first determine the avera

32、ge price of all outputthe average price levelthen look for changes in that average. (5) The average price level may fall as well as rise. (6) The deflation occurs when price decreases on some goods and services outweigh price increases on all others.(7) We already noted, for example, that the price

33、of apples can rise without increasing the average price of fruit, so long as the price of some other fruit (e.g. oranges) falls. (8) An increasing in the relative price of apples, for example, simply means that apples have become more expensive in comparison with other fruits (or any other goods or

34、services). A. Because inflation and deflation are measured in terms of average price levels, it is possible for individual prices to rise or fall continuously without changing the average price level. B. A decline in average price is called deflation. C. A rise in the average price level is referred

35、 to as inflation. D. In such circumstances, relative prices are changing, but not average prices. E. The economy is not necessarily experiencing an inflation, however, every time the price of a cup of coffee goes up. F. Surely you would not have much success in seeking out an average fruit nobody wo

36、uld be quite sure what you had in mind. G. Inflation is an increase in the average level of prices, not a change in any specific price. H. By repeating these calculations every day, you could then determine whether fruit prices, on average, were changin（分数：16.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空

37、项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_Part 2Questions 1-8Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures are painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they want to catch and kill. Pictures

38、 of this kind have been found in walls or caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in picture.2. About 5,000 years ago the Egypt

39、ians and other people in the east began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used become a kind of alphabet.3. The Egyptians used to record information and tell st

40、ories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modem comic-strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the com

41、ic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.4. By the year 1000 BC, people who lived in area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs th

42、ey used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the alphabet is n

43、ow used over the world.5. These days, we can write down a story, or record the information without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where

44、 we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.Questions 9-13For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below.For each numbered paragraph (1-5), mark one letter (A-G) on the Answer Sheet.Do not mark
