20、ur answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.BPassage One/BFor all his vaunted talents, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has never had much of a reputation as an economic forecaster. In fact, he shies away from making the precise-to-the-decimal-point predictions that many other economists thrive on. Instead,
21、 he owes his success as a monetary policymaker to his ability to sniff out threats to the economy and manipulate interest rates to dampen the dangers he perceives.Now, those instincts are being put to the test. Many Fed watchers-and some policymakers inside the central bank itself-are beginning to w
22、onder whether Greenspan has lost his touch. Despite rising risks to the economy from a swooning stock market and soaring oil prices that could hamper growth, the Greenspan-led Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) opted to leave interest rates unchanged on Sept. 24. But in a rare dissent, two of the
23、Feds 12 policymakers broke ranks and voted for a cut in rates-Dallas Fed President Robert D. McTeer Jr. and central bank Governor Edward M. Gramlich.The move by McTeer, the Feds self-styled “Lonesome Dove“, was no surprise. But Gramlichs was. This was the first time that the monetary moderate had vo
24、ted against the chairman since joining the Feds board in 1997. And it was the first public dissent by a governor since 1995.Despite the split vote, its too soon to count the maestro of monetary policy out. Greenspan had good reasons for not cutting interest rates now. And by acknowledging in the sta
25、tement issued after the meeting that the economy does indeed face risks, Greenspan left the door wide open to a rate reduction in the future. Indeed, former Fed Governor Lyle Gramley thinks chances are good that the central bank might even cut rates before its next scheduled meeting on Nov. 6, the d
26、ay after congressional elections.So why didnt the traditionally risk-averse Greenspan cut rates now as insurance against the dangers dogging growth? For one thing, he still thinks the economy is in recovery mode. Consumer demand remains buoyant and has even been turbocharged recently by a new wave o
27、f mortgage refinancing. Economists reckon that homeowners will extract some 100 billion in cash from their houses in the second half of this year. And despite all the corporate gloom, business spending has shown signs of picking up, though not anywhere near as strongly as the Fed would like.Does tha
28、t mean that further rate cuts are off the table? Hardly. Watch for Greenspan to try to time any rate reductions to when theyll have the most psychological pop on business and investor confidence. Thats surely no easy feat, but its one that Greenspan has shown himself capable of more than once in the
29、 past. Dont be surprised if he surprises everyone again.（分数：10.00）(1).Alan Greenspan owes his reputation much to _.（分数：2.00）A.his successful predictions of economyB.his timely handling of interest ratesC.his unusual economic policiesD.his unique sense of dangers(2).It can be inferred from the passag
30、e that _.（分数：2.00）A.instincts most often misguide the monetary policiesB.Greenspan has lost his control of the central bankC.consensus is often the case among Feds policymakersD.Greenspan wouldnt tolerate such a dissent(3).Gramleys remarks are mentioned to indicate that _.（分数：2.00）A.Greenspan didnt
31、rule out the possibility of a future rate reductionB.Greenspans monetary policy may turn out to be a failureC.Greenspans refusal to cut rates now was justifiedD.Greenspan will definitely cut the rates before Nov. 6(4).From the fifth paragraph, we can learn that _.（分数：2.00）A.economy is now well on it
32、s way to recoveryB.economists are uncertain about consumer demandC.corporate performance is generally not encouragingD.businesses have been investing the way the Fed hoped(5).The author seems to regard Greenspans manipulation of interest rates with _.（分数：2.00）A.disapprovalB.doubtC.approvalD.admirati
33、onBPassage Two/BThe component of the healthy personality that is the first to develop is the sense of the trust. The crucial time for its emergence is the first year of life. As with other personality components, the sense of trust is not something that develops independent of other manifestations o
34、f growth. It is not that infants learn how to use their bodies for purposeful movement, learn to recognize people and objects around them, and also develop a sense of trust. Rather, the concept “sense of trust“ is a shortcut expression intended to convey the characteristic flavor of all the childs s
35、atisfying experiences at this early age. Or, to say it another way, this psychological formulation serves to condense, summarize, and synthesize the most important underlying changes, which give meaning to the infants concrete and diversified experience.Trust can exist only in relation to something.
36、 Consequently, a sense of trust cannot develop until infants are old enough to be aware of objects and persons and to have some feeling that they are separate individuals. At about 3 months of age, babies are likely to smile, if somebody comes close and talks to them. This shows that they are aware
37、of the approach of the other person, that pleasurable sensations are aroused. If, however, the person moves too quickly or speaks too sharply, these babies may look and cry. They will not “trust“ the unusual situation but will have a feeling of uneasiness, of mistrust, instead.Experience connected w
38、ith feeding are a prime source for the development of trust. At around 4 months of age, a hungry baby will grow quiet and show signs of pleasure at the sound of an approaching footstep, anticipating (trusting) that he or she will be held and fed. This repeated experience of being hungry, seeing food
39、, receiving food, and feeling relieved and comforted assures the baby that the world is a dependable place.Later experiences, starting at around 5 months of age, add another dimension to the sense of trust. Though endless repetitions of attempts to grasp for and hold objects, most babies are finally
40、 successful in controlling and adapting their movements in such a way as to reach their goal. Through these and other feats of muscular coordination, babies are gradually able to trust their own bodies to do their bidding.Studies of mentally-ill individuals and observations of infants who have been
41、grossly deprived of affection suggest that trust is an early-formed and important element in the healthy personality. Psychiatrists find again and again that the most serious illnesses occur in patients who have been sorely neglected or abused or otherwise deprived of love in infancy. Similarly, it
42、is a common finding of psychological and social investigators that individuals diagnosed as “psychopathic personalities“ were so unloved in infancy that they have no reason to trust the human race and therefore, no feeling of responsibility toward their fellow human beings.（分数：10.00）(1).What dose “t
43、his psychological formulation“ (Paragraph 1) refer to?（分数：2.00）A.Characteristic flavor.B.Satisfying experiences.C.Concrete and diversified experience.D.Sense of trust.(2).The author implies in the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.the sense of trust can grow independent of other manifestations of growthB.in
44、fants can develop sense of trust just as they learn to recognize people and objectsC.children who are usually satisfied can easily build the sense of trust than neglected onesD.sense of trust can be developed since one baby is born(3).Which of following statements is NOT true according to the develo
45、pment of a sense of trust?（分数：2.00）A.A 3-month-old infant gets sense of trust from the pleasurable approach of a person.B.The sense of trust of an infant comes greatly from the experience of being fed.C.A 5-month-old infant can get the sense of trust in himself from their own ability to do things.D.
46、The endless repetitions of attempts to grasp for and hold objects may frustrate the sense of self-trust of infants.(4).What is the right cause of somebodys psychopathic personality?（分数：2.00）A.Because they have been over loved and spoiled by their parents.B.Because they have been bitterly ignored or
47、abused in infancy.C.Because they have not been trusted in infancy.D.Because they have got the most serious illnesses from their family.(5).The passage mainly tells us that _.（分数：2.00）A.the sense of trust is the first part of healthy personality to be developedB.the sense of trust is an early-formed
48、and important element in the healthy personalityC.trust can exist only in relation to other stages of growthD.individuals with psychopathic personalities were usually unloved in infancy and have no sense of trustBPassage Three/BWe sometimes hear that essays are an old-fashioned form, that so-and-so is the “last essayist“, but the facts of the marketplace argue quite otherwise. Essays of nearly any kind are so much easier than short stories for a writer to sell, so many more see print, its strange that though two
