Early industrialization began the pr
28、ocess 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 secon
29、d stage was evident the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the 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, t
30、he 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
31、 nursing the sick, became socially unacceptable (and, in most serious cases, maybe less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of horsedrawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of backgroun
32、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 increased flexibility for the home economy in obtai
33、ning 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 neoclassic ( 新古典主义的 ) model that views the family as de
34、ciding 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. 62 The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that_. （ A） it
35、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 63 It can be seen from the passage that in
36、 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 wh
37、ether new goods and services were produced by the home economy became irrelevant 64 During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and sevices, they _ had to enter the marketplace （ A） as wage earners （ B） both as manufacturers and consumers （ C） both as workers and purchasers （
38、D） as customers 65 Most of the animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes ,however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系 ) which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This i
39、s not because they want a ride ,but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫 )on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they move the cause of discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relations
40、hip develops until the two partners cannot live without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚 )of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as“ dustmen“ ,taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants ar
41、e killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die. 65 Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _. （ A） they can eat its parasites （ B） they enjoy travelling with the sheep （ C） they depend on the sheep for existence （ D） they find the positi
42、on most comfortable 66 The underlined word “they“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to _. （ A） birds and parasites （ B） birds and sheep （ C） parasites and sheep （ D） sheep, birds and parasites 67 We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for _. （ A） comfort （ B） light （ C）
43、 food （ D） oxygen 68 What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? （ A） Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence. （ B） Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily. （ C） Some plants depend on each other for food. （ D） Some animals live better together. 69 Did you exam
44、ine your paper money closely? See if you can locate a $5, $10, or $20 bill printed before 1964 and marked “Federal Reserve Note“ over the portrait. In the upperleft portion above the seal, a statement written in fine print says that the note is legal tender(法定货币 )and that it “is redeemable(可兑现的 ) in
45、 lawful money at the United States Treasury (美财政部 ), or at any Federal Reserve Bank. “Does this mean that the bill is not lawful? At the bottom center the same bill says, “Will pay to the bearer on demand X dollars. “Does this mean that your X-dollar bill is not X dollars? Much confusion exists abou
46、t the real nature of money. Many people think that money has no value unless it is backed by gold or silver. They think that the Federal Reserve note is only a sym bol for money, and that real money is the metal backing the note. Some people look on money as wealth and believe that it must have intr
47、insic(内在的 ) value. If we were to study the history of money, we would find that in different places and at different times a variety of things have been used as money. Cattle, shell, beads (珠子 ), tobacco leaves, and various metals including iron, zinc (锌 ), bronze (青铜 ), and copper have all been use
48、d as a basis of exchange. The precious metals, particularly silver and gold, have proved most satisfactory for this purpose and have been most commonly used in modem times. Until early 1968, the United States backed its Federal Reserve notes with 25 percent gold, but this did not mean that citizens
49、could use gold as money or convert paper dollars to gold. Clearly, it is not what money is but what it does that is important. 69 This passage is about _. （ A） the nature of money （ B） the face value of a bill （ C） the intrinsic value of money （ D） the lawfulness of money 70 The second paragraph tells the reader that _. （ A） money has
