18、n addition to redistributing incomes, inflation may affect the total real income and production of the community. An increase in prices is usually associated with high employment. In moderate inflation, industries are operating efficiently and output is near capacity. There is a great deal of privat
19、e investment and jobs are plentiful. Such has been the historical pattern. Thus many business persons and union leaders, in evaluating a little deflation and a little inflation, consider the latter to be the lesser of two evils. In mild inflation, the losses to fixed-income groups are usually less t
20、han gains to the rest of the community. Even workers with relatively fixed wages are often better off because of improved employment opportunities and greater take-home pay, a rise in interest rates on new securities may partly compensate for any losses to creditor, and increases in pension benefits
21、 may partly make up losses to retirees. In deflation, on the other hand, the growing unemployment of labor and capital causes the communitys total well-being to be less; so in a sense, the gainers get less than the losers lose. As a matter of fact, in a depression, or a time of severe deflation, alm
22、ost everyone suffers, including the creditor who is left with uncollectible debts. For these reasons as increase in consumption of investment spending is considered good in times of unemployment, even if this tends to increase prices slightly. When the economic system is suffering from severe depres
23、sion, few people will criticize private or public spending on the ground that this might be inflationary. Actually, most of this increased spending will increase production and create jobs. Once, full employment and full plant capacity have been reached, however, any further increases in spending ar
24、e likely to be completely wasted in price increase. 21 “Historical pattern“ mentioned in the passage means that in mild inflation_. （ A） there will be more production and employment （ B） private investment will be moderate and peoples income will be influenced （ C） the bad effects of the two evils w
25、ill be associated with each other （ D） industrial revolution made men and women more equal 22 Which of the following happens if there is mild inflation? （ A） Everyone loses because of the increase of prices. （ B） Retired people do experience some influence. （ C） Creditors gain rather than lose with
26、a rise in interest rates. （ D） Some people gain more while others lose. 23 In times of inflation_. （ A） people like private or public investment （ B） there is usually full plant capacity （ C） creditors suffer more than other people （ D） everyone suffers and no one gains 23 Perhaps all criminals shou
27、ld be required to carry cards which read: Fragile; Handle with Care. It will never do, these days, to go around referring to criminals as violent thugs. You must refer to them politely as “social misfits“. The professional killer who wouldnt think twice about using his club or knife to batter some h
28、armless old lady to death in order to rob her of her meager life-savings must never be given a dose of his own medicine. He is in need of “hospital treatment“. According to his misguided defenders, society is to blame. A wicked society breeds evilor so the argument goes. When you listen to this kind
29、 of talk, it makes you wonder why we arent all criminals. We have done away with the absurdly harsh laws of the nineteenth century and this is only right. But surely enough is enough. The most senseless piece of criminal legislation in Britain and a number of other countries has been the suspension
30、of capital punishment. The violent criminal has become a kind of hero-figure in our time. He is glorified on the screen; he is pursued by the press and paid vast sums of money for his “memoirs“. Newspapers which specialize in crime reporting enjoy enormous circulations and the publishers of trashy c
31、ops and robbers stories or “murder mysteries“ have never had it so good. When you read about the achievements of the great train robbers, it makes you wonder whether you are reading about the some glorious resistance movement. The hardened criminal is cuddled and cosseted by the sociologists on the
32、one hand and adored as a hero by the masses on the other. Its no wonder he is a privileged person who expects and receives VIP treatment wherever he goes. Capital punishment used to be a major deterrent. It made the violent robber think twice before pulling the trigger. It gave the cold-blooded pois
33、oner something to ponder about while he was shaking up or serving his arsenic cocktail. It prevented unarmed policemen from being killed while pursuing their duty by killers armed with automatic weapons. Above all, it protected the most vulnerable members of society, young children, from brutal viol
34、ence. It is horrifying to think that the criminal can literally get away with murder. We all know that “life sentence“ does not mean what it says. After ten years or so of good conduct, the most desperate villain is free to return to society where he will live very comfortably, thank you, on the pro
35、ceeds of his crime, or he will go on committing offences until he is caught again. People are always willing to hold liberal views at the expense of others. Its always fashionable to pose as the defender of under-dog, so long as you, personally, remain unaffected. Did the defenders of crime, one won
36、ders, in their desire for fair-play, consult the victims before they suspended capital punishment? Hardly. You see, they couldnt, because all the victims were dead. 24 What is the main idea of the text? （ A） Society is to blame for the rising crime. （ B） All the criminals are to be sympathized. （ C）
37、 Crime defenders have done a lot for criminals. （ D） Severe punishment should be used to prevent crime. 25 In the authors opinion, all the following are to blame for crime EXCEPT_. （ A） society （ B） the criminals themselves （ C） the suspension of life sentence （ D） the defenders role 26 The word “de
38、terrent“ (Line 1, Para. 3) most probably means “_“. （ A） threat （ B） delay （ C） determination （ D） hindrance 27 What is the tone of the text? （ A） Critical. （ B） Cynical C, Ironic. （ C） Humorous. 28 What is the authors attitude toward capital punishment? （ A） Negative. （ B） Sympathetic. （ C） Support
39、ive. D, Neutral. 28 The gravitational pull of the Earth and the Moon is important to us as we attempt to conquer more and more of outer-space. Heres why. As a rocket leaves the Earth, the pull of the Earth on it becomes less and less as the rocket roars out into space. If you imagine a line between
40、the Earth and the Moon, there is a point somewhere along that line, nearer to the Moon than to the Earth, at which the gravitation pull of both the Earth and the Moon on an object is just about equal. An object placed on the Moon side of that point would be drawn to the Moon. An object placed on the
41、 Earth side of that point would be drawn to the Earth. Therefore, a rocket need be sent only to this “point of no return“ in order to get it to the Moon. The Moons gravity will pull it the rest of the way. The return trip of the rocket to the Earth is, in some ways, less of a problem. The Earths gra
42、vitational field reaches far closer to the Moon than does the Moons to the Earth. Thus it will be necessary to fire an Earthbound rocket only a few thousand miles away from the Moon to reach a point where the rocket will drift to the Earth under the Earths gravitational pull. The problem of rocket t
43、ravel is not so much concerned with getting the rocket into space as it is with guiding the rocket after it leaves the Earths surface. Remember that the Moon is constantly circling the Earth. A rocket fired at the Moon and continuing in the direction in which it was fired would miss the Moon by a wi
44、de margin and perhaps continue to drift out into space until “captured“ in another planets gravitational field. To reach the Moon, a rocket must be fired toward the point where the Moon will be when the rocket has traveled the required distance. This requires precise calculations of the speed and di
45、rection of the rocket and of the speed and direction of the Moon. For a rocket to arrive at a point where the Moons gravity will pull it the rest of the way, it must reach a speed called velocity of escape. This speed is about 25,000 miles per hour. At a speed less than this, a rocket will merely ci
46、rcle the Earth in an orbit and eventually fall back to the Earth. 29 This passage deals mainly with_. （ A） the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Moon （ B） the factors involved in firing a rocket into the outer-space （ C） the gravitational fields of the Earth and the Moon （ D） the speed and dir
47、ection of a rocket traveling in the outer-space 30 It can be seen that if a rocket misses its target, it keeps on traveling through space until_. （ A） it burns up （ B） it is caught in the gravitational field of another planet （ C） it is brought back to the Earth by scientists （ D） it runs out of fue
48、l 31 A rocket might miss its target by a “wide margin“. This means the rocket missed the target_. （ A） because of mechanical failure （ B） by a great deal （ C） by a small distance （ D） because the target moved 32 According to the passage, the most difficult task of firing a rocket is_. （ A） to get th
49、e rocket into the space （ B） to calculate the rockets velocity of escape （ C） to guide the rocket after it leaves the Earths surface （ D） to identify the gravitational fields of the Earth and the Moon 33 The word “precise“ in precise calculations means_. （ A） good guesses （ B） simple problems （ C） big errors （ D） exact 34 This passage intends to_. （ A） tell us why th
