2、he Answer Sheet.0 Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to

3、 make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.Ten men, Smith said, in thi

4、s way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way

5、of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor

6、adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.1 According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to_.（A）take advantage of the physical labor（B） introduce the division of labor into England（C） understand the effects of the division of labor（D）explain the

9、abor_.（A）was an efficient way of organizing work（B） was an important development in methods of production（C） finally led to economic development（D）increased the production of existing goods5 According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT true?（A）Division of labor can enable fewer people

10、to make more pins.（B） Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have.（C） Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth.（D）Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.5 When we talk about intelligence we do not mean the ability to get good sco

11、res on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For instance, when

12、in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can

13、t make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it. If you look at children, youll see great differe

14、nce between what we call “bright“ children and“ not-bright“ children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life and he tries to get in touch with everything around h

15、im. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.6 According to this passage, intelligence is_.（A）the ability to study well（B） the ability to do well in school（C） the ability to deal with life（D）the ability to get

16、 high scores on some tests7 In a new situation, an intelligent person_.（A）knows more about what might happen to him（B） is sure of the result he will get（C） concentrates on what to do about the situation（D）cares more about himself8 If an intelligent person failed, he would_.（A）try not to feel ashamed

17、（B） learn from his experiences（C） try to regret as much as possible（D）make sure what result he would get9 Bright children and not-bright children_.（A）are two different types of children（B） are different mainly in their degree of cleverness（C） have difference only in their way of thinking（D）have diff

18、erent knowledge about the world10 The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about_.（A）how to determine what intelligence is（B） how education should be found（C） how to solve practical problems（D）how an unintelligent person should be taught10 Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man

19、 gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first

20、 and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War A , these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobi

21、les and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared; the “life-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level

22、stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among then are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in c

23、lothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth

24、level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crim, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may s

25、eek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.11 According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when_.（A）he has saved up enough money（B） he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter（C）

26、he has satisfied his hunger（D）he has learned to build houses12 It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II , most Americans_.（A）were very rich（B） lived in poverty（C） had the good things on the first three levels（D）did not own automobiles13 Which of the following is NOT relate

28、etter.15 The author tends to think that the fifth level_.（A）would be little better than the fourth level（B） may be a lot more desirable than the first four（C） can be the last and most satisfying level（D）will become attainable before the government takes actions15 Newspapers are not nearly as popular

29、 today as they were in the past. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or gossip columns, the comics , and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people dont take the time to read the real news. Newspaper edit

30、ors say that their readers are lazy. They say they have to trick people into reading the news. They attempt to catch the readers interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page

31、 attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headlines that make you stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps you will go on to read the rest

32、 of the story. Just the same, there are a lot of people who do not even read the front page anymore. They may read the headlines, but that is all. Then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get th

33、e news on the television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper?

It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference

37、 in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase.A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other h

38、alf acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away

39、?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month,

40、the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary.
