Early industrialization began the proce

23、ss of transferring some production processes (eg. cloth making, sewing and caning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Though the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious(费力的 )and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second sta

24、ge was evident - the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by he home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them ( eg. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the

25、question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these result of industrialization, they would have to be got in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as in nu

26、rsing the sick, became socially unacceptable ( and, in most serious cases, maybe less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of horse -drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of backgroun

27、d music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increase the options available to the home economy to either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in consumer goods, but not in creased flexibility, for the home economy in obt

28、aining these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical(新古典主义的 )model that views the family as d

29、eciding whether to produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot .accurately be applied to the second( and current) stage. 56 The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that _. （ A） i

30、t was a necessary step in the process of industrialization （ B） they depended on electricity available only to the market economy （ C） it was troublesome to produce such goods in the home （ D） the marketplace was more efficient with respect to these processes 57 It can be seen from the passage that

31、in the second stage _. （ A） some traditional goods and services were not successful when provided by the home economy （ B） the market economy provided new goods and services never produced by the home economy （ C） producing traditional goods at home became socially unacceptable （ D） the question of.

32、 whether new goods and services were produced by the home economy became irrelevant 58 During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace _. （ A） as wage earners （ B） both as manufacturers and consumers （ C） both as workers and purchase

33、rs （ D） as customers 59 An aunt of mine has often said, “Youth is wasted on the young. “This statement has aroused my interest for years. People usually smile when she says it, and I have always smiled, too. But I think I m just now beginning to understand the meaning of the saying. Quite recently I

34、 thought how close in meaning it is to a statement Thornton Wolder made in his play Our Town. Toward the end of the play, Emily, one of the main characters in the play, says, “I didnt realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed!. Do any human beings ever realize while they live it - every

35、 ,every minute?“ Older people, looking back, can appreciate youth, its real meaning and importance, but young people, while they are in the middle of their youth, never fully realize what they have. An older person recognizes his increasing age by making comparisons to his youth. “Im not as young as

36、 I was. Better slow down. “he says to himself. The importance of youth, the energy and excitement of it, is realized only after it is gone. Thus, it seems to me my aunt is right. Youth is wasted on the young. Babies should be old and gray-haired when they re born. Only after many years should they b

37、e permitted to enjoy their youth. 59 By saying “The youth is wasted on the youth“ , the writer means that _. （ A） most older people regret not being young now （ B） people didnt do anything important when they were young （ C） when the importance of youth is realized, everything is gone （ D） young peo

38、ple seem to know little about the value of the youth 60 The writer understood his aunt s saying _. （ A） immediately （ B） many years later （ C） with the help of a play （ D） with the help of old mens experience 61 The underlined word “aroused“ in the passage is closest in meaning to _. （ A） caused （ B

39、） changed （ C） proved （ D） puzzled 62 It can be inferred that _. （ A） many people can hardly realize the value of life （ B） most people will be unhappy when they become old （ C） old people do not like the young （ D） people wish they would be young forever 63 In Mount Berry, Georgia, people find a gr

40、oup of schools built specially for mountain children. The schools, as well as the mountain itself, are named after Martha Berry herself, a daughter of a Georgian mountaineer. Martha Berry was born in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian mountain children, she received an education. But she never forgot

41、other children of the mountains whose parents couldn t afford to spend them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children. It was housed in a single small log cabin and was attended by only five pupils. Now, eighty years later, there are a score of Berry Schools in the area, wi

42、th a total of over one thousand students and a waiting list of about five thousand.
