13、ouis. Stern specialized in the study on these tiny twitches, using them as sensitive (22) of how the brain works. “I use blinks as a psychological measure to make (23) about thinking because I have very little (24) in what you tell me about what you are thinking.“ He says. “If I ask you the question
14、, what does the phrase a rolling stone gathers no moss mean? you cant tell me (25) youve started looking for the answer. But I can, by watching your eyes.“ Blinks also tell Stern when you have understood his question-often long before hes finished asking it-and when youve found an answer or part of
15、(26) . “We blink at times (27) are psychologically important.“ He says. “You have listened to a question, you understand it, (28) you can take time out for a blink. Blinks are (29) marks. Their timing is tied to what is going on in your (30) .“ Stern has found that (31) suppress blinks when they are
16、 absorbing or anticipating (32) but not when theyre reciting it. People blink later, for example, (33) they have to memorize six numbers instead of two. “You dont blink,“ he says, “until you have (34) the information to some short-term memory store.“ And if subjects are cued (35) the set of numbers
17、is coming, say, five seconds, theyll curb their blinks until the task is (36) . Similarly, the more important the information that people are taking in, the more likely they are to put their blinks on hold for (37) Pilots blink less when theyre (38) for flying a plane than when they (39) their eyes

22、s. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 41 Because agriculture is so important to a nations well-being, governments have always been concerned with it. For example, the United States and Canada have long produced surpluses that compli
23、cate their economies. Surpluses tend to lower prices to farmers and seriously endanger the agriculture industry. Governments have instituted systems of price supports to maintain a fair price when surpluses cause prices to drop. The system in the United States is a good example. A government program
24、 supports the prices paid to farmers for grains, and other agricultural products. Support prices are based on parity, which is the ratio between the prices farmers receive for their crops and the prices they must pay for things they need. The government selected the period from 1910 to 1914 as a tim
25、e when farm prices were in a fair ratio with farming costs. This is the base period now used to determine parity prices. The idea is to assure farmers that what they get for a bushel of wheat will buy the same amount of, say, seed as it did in the years of the base period; if prices drop too far bel
26、ow this ideal the government can help in a number of ways. For example, it may buy much of a surplus at parity prices. Governments have instituted a wide variety of other controls for prices and, also, for farm output, mainly at the request of the farmers themselves. Farm prices tend to fluctuate mo
27、re than other prices do, and the incomes of farmers fluctuate along with farm prices. Various measures for maintaining farm prices and incomes include tariff or import levies, import quotas, export subsidies, direct payment to farmers, and limitations on production. All of these measures are useful
28、and are used to some extent by most developed countries. An important example of such a program is the soil-bank plan, which aimed at limiting production while improving farmland. The European Economic Community (EEC) established a common agricultural policy (CAP) for its member nations, called the
29、Common Market countries. The aim is to create free trade for individual commodities within the community. When production of a commodity exceeds EEC consumption, the EEC may buy the excess for storage, pay to have it reprocessed, or export it to countries outside the Common Market. In this way the E
30、EC can maintain its members farm prices at levels equal to or even higher than those in such market-competitive nations as the United States and Canada. 41 By saying that a countrys agricultural surpluses often “complicate“ its economy, the author means _. （ A） they throw the country into great diso
31、rder （ B） they entail more expenditure on the part of the government （ C） they usually involve direct governmental support price （ D） the government has to set up special pricing systems 42 According to the passage, the parity system is used to _. （ A） encourage farmers to produce more grains in the
32、 future （ B） lower the cost of producing agricultural product （ C） determine the prices below which grains will not be sold （ D） ensure that the farmers interest is properly protected 43 The governments impose many kinds of control for farm prices and output because _. （ A） farm crops are their main
33、 sources of export （ B） the prices of different farm crops vary greatly （ C） they are fully aware of the importance of them （ D） farm prices and output are very unstable 44 It can be inferred that the common agricultural policy aims to _. （ A） avoid competition among its member nations （ B） limit pr
34、oduction and improve farmland （ C） ensure a balance between production and consumption （ D） encourage free competition among its member nations 45 Why do governments show special concern for agriculture? （ A） Because farm prices go up and down constantly. （ B） Because farmers usually earn less than
35、other income groups. （ C） Because there is not much arable farmland left. （ D） Because farmers are confronted with fiercer competition. 46 Migration is usually defined as “permanent or semi-permanent change of residence“. However, our concern is with movement between nations, not with internal migra
36、tion within nations, although such movements often exceed international movements in volume. Today, the motives of people who move short distances are very similar to those of international migrants. Students of human migration speak of “push“ and “pull“ factors, which influence an individuals decis
37、ion to move from one place to another. Push factors are associated with the place of origin. A push factor can be as simple and mild a matter as difficulty in finding a suitable job, or as traumatic as war, or severe famine. Obviously, refugees who leave their homes with guns pointed at their heads
38、are motivated almost entirely by push factors (although pull factors do influence their choice of destination). Pull factors are those associated with the place of destination. Most often these are economic, such as better job opportunities or the availability of good land to farm. In general, pull
39、factors add up to an apparently better chance for a good life and material well-being than is offered by the place of origin. When there is a choice between several attractive potential destinations, the deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as the presence of relatives, friends
40、, or at least fellow countrymen already established in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers settle in. Besides push and pull factors, there are what the sociologists call “intervening obstacles.“ Even if push and (or) pull factors are very strong they still may be outweighed by interv
41、ening obstacles, such as the distance of the move, the trouble and cost of moving, the difficulty of entering the new country, and the problems likely to be encountered on arrival. The decision to move is also influenced by “personal factors“ of the potential migrant. The prospect of packing up ever
42、ything and moving to a new and perhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man and appallingly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids. Similarly, the need to learn a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten an
43、other. Regardless of why people move, migration of large numbers of people causes conflict. The United States and other western countries have experienced adjustment problems with each new wave of immigrants. It has usually taken several decades for each group to be accepted into the mainstream of s
44、ociety in the host country. 46 The author thinks that pull factors _. （ A） are all related to economic considerations （ B） are not as decisive as push factors （ C） include a variety of considerations （ D） are more important than push factors 47 People moving within country borders are often motivate
45、d by the desire to _. （ A） follow suit （ B） live close to relatives （ C） integrate themselves into the mainstream society （ D） escape persecution 48 It is implied in the last paragraph that _. （ A） push and pull factors are complicated by many other considerations in migration （ B） push and pull fac
46、tors are less important than personal factors of the migrants （ C） push factors affect the older people with families more than unmarried young people （ D） pull factors bring about fewer adjustment problems in the new settlements 49 Peoples decisions to migrate might be influenced by all the followi
47、ng EXCEPT _. （ A） personalities （ B） education （ C） marital status （ D） abilities 50 The purpose of the passage is to discuss _. （ A） the problems of international migrants （ B） the motives of international migrants （ C） migration inside the country （ D） the adjustment problems experienced by immigr
48、ants 51 How can a company improve its sales? One of the keys to more effective selling is for a company to first decide on its “sales strategy.“ In other words, what is the role of the sales person? Is the salespersons job narrative, suggestive, or consultative? The “narrative“ sales strategy depend
49、s on the salesperson moving quickly into a standard sales presentation. His or her pitch highlights the benefits for the customer of a particular product or service. This approach is most effective for customers whose buying motives are basically the same and is also well suited to companies who have a large number of prospects (可能的主顾 ) on which to call. The “suggestive“ approach is tailored more for the individ
