1、BFT阅读(综合)模拟试卷 30及答案与解析 一、 Part 2 0 1. The larger a machine and the more numerous its parts, the greater likelihood of a breakdown and the more expensive to repair. What has been said about market forces and management was necessarily oversimplified. The economies of modern industrial nations are lar
2、ge and very complex. To be sure, there is management, and there are market forces at work, but there are also many other factors that help or hinder economic function. 2. In modern industrial societies, governments play a large role. There are a lot of regulations, most of them are meant for the pro
3、tection of the public. All regulations affect the way businesses operate, often increasing their costs and reducing their profits. Lower profits, in turn, reduce the amount of money which is known as working capital that a company can use for expansion. Auto emission standards, for instance, have ha
4、d a significant impact on the manufacture and pricing of automobiles. Other government policies such as taxation, budget deficits, and regulation of the money supply have an effect on how much money is available for people to spend on goods and services. 3. International crises and other conditions
5、also affect the working of an economy. A severe frost in Brazil can ruin a coffee crop and raise the price of that commodity. War can cut off the supply of such resources as petroleum, chromium, or copper. In the United States, environmental protests have slowed the development of nuclear energy cap
6、acity and the mining of vast tracts of protected land. Weather affects agriculture: a hot, dry summer can damage the wheat crop; floods can destroy thousands of acres of crops suddenly; and insect pests can devastate cropland with a rapid onslaught. 4. Peoples attitudes also have an impact on the ma
7、rketing of goods. Health-conscious individuals, for example, may stop smoking, curtail their intake of alcohol, and eat less of certain kinds of food. Advertising affects what people buy, and it can create a market where none existed. Style and fashion are significant for many consumers. 5. There ar
8、e other economic problems that are more difficult to understand. For centuries economies have been subject to periods of prosperity followed by periods of decline. Although periods of prosperity can be explained rather easily, the reasons for panics, recessions, and depressions are of a complex natu
9、re. So many factors contributed to the Great Depression of the 1930s, for example, that no economist has ever been able to account for all of them. 6. Because the causes of decline are uncertain, the remedies are equally uncertain. In the late 20th century all industrialized societies through their
10、governments have tried to stabilize economies, keep them prosperous, and reduce unemployment. None of the remedies has worked to the extent that was hoped. How economies work and what remedies can be found to keep them operating efficiently are the tasks of economists, who must work together with bu

Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. Todays corporations hire human engineering specialists and spend a considerable amount of time and mon
17、ey to make sure that the physical environments of buildings are fit for the activities of their inhabitants. 2. Similarly, college classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking. We may be approaching the twenty-first century, but step into almost any college class
18、room and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious: everything of importance comes from the teacher. 3. With a little imagination and
19、effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standardized classes, chairs, desks, and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways: circles, U-shapes, or semicircles. The primary goal shoul
20、d be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Larger classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less flexibility. 4. Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small cl
21、asses with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how other s
22、tudents thinking processes operate all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking. 5. In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the
23、 first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. He then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students names and faces. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1
