14、题数：2，分数：35.00)The Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe. And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is gov
15、erned by strict social patterns. At the same time, they are one of the most intellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas. All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual made up of form
16、al bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a “Welcome“; when he leaves, his host will tell him “You will be welcome again.“ These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of g
17、ood manners. （分数：17.50）(1).The Swedes are charming peoples because_.（分数：3.50）A.they are conservative in social relationshipsB.they are intellectually progressiveC.their conduct is governed by strict social patternsD.they are both conservative and progressive in character(2).By saying “They are alway
18、s open to new ideas“, the writer means that_.（分数：3.50）A.the Swedes are willing to accept new ideasB.the Swedes tend to open their arms when they see something newC.new ideas can reach to ordinary people in SwedenD.there are new ideas everywhere in Sweden(3).When you visit a Swedish family, most prob

21、Swedish character.It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. O
22、ne person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another persons benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses t
23、o pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will gu
24、ard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public
25、goods by using taxes. （分数：17.50）(1).According to the passage, public goods are_.（分数：3.50）A.services enjoyed by all peopleB.what we can buy and sell in publicC.products that we make for national defenseD.taxes paid by the people involved(2).The writer gives the example of national defense in paragrap
26、h 2 in order to show that_.（分数：3.50）A.there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB.all the people should be responsible for national defenseC.a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD.some public goods are more important than others(3).The person who does not pay for a pub
27、lic good_.（分数：3.50）A.keeps himself from using its benefitB.cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC.fails to keep its benefit from being usedD.enjoys its benefit all the same(4).In the third paragraph the author explains_.（分数：3.50）A.what role the market system plays in producing public goodsB.how weak
28、the market system is in producing public goodsC.why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD.what we can do to make use of the market system(5).From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to_.（分数：3.50）A.ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB.reduce the difference betw
29、een the rich and the poorC.get extra money to support public goodsD.remind people of their dutyAccreditation is a system for setting national standards of quality in education. The United States is unique in the world because its accreditation system is not administered by the government, but rather
30、 by and like the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Society of Engineers. Before registering to study in any educational institution in the United States a student should make certain that the institution in order to assure that the school has a recognized standard o
31、f organization, instruction, and financial support. Foreign students should be particularly careful to check an institutions accreditation because other governments or future employers may not recognize a degree earned from a school that has not received accreditation. If a college , catalogues and
32、brochures will usually indicate the accreditation status. If you are not sure about a certain school, dont hesitate to check its reputation with an education officer at the nearest U.S. Embassy.

The problem is
36、 made worse by the size of many major cities which prevents the extension of existing airports. Any new airports to be built a long way from city centers will create communication problems and in many countries there simply isnt enough land for such developments. Now a new proposal has been put forw
37、ard which would help to relieve the congestion (拥挤) , as far as short flights are concerned. This involves the use of smaller aircraft, carrying about 50 passengers, which only require a short take-off or landing area and which make comparatively little noise because they are propeller-driven (螺旋桨推进
38、). Such aircraft could operate much nearer city centers, say, on disused industrial sites, and give a good service to businessmen and other travelers who are going between centers, which are relatively close, such as European capitals. The main problem remaining is the question of noise. There has b
39、een so much publicity in recent years regarding the high level of noise near airports, that any government can expect to find considerable resistance to building new airports in towns, even though these short-range small planes are relatively quiet. The fact remains that increasing numbers of people
40、 want to travel by air and will accept somewhat slower flights if they can have the convenience of an airport near the city center. In the end, its a question of compromise between the travelers and the local inhabitants. （分数：-1.00）(1).Recently, what has happened to the airports due to the increase
41、of air travel?（分数：-0.20）_(2).What are the two main problems to build a new airport?（分数：-0.20）_(3).What is the new proposal?（分数：-0.20）_(4).What is the publicity about if a new airport is built near towns?（分数：-0.20）_(5).What does the success of airports closing to city centers mainly depend on ?（分数：-0
