A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his obj
14、ective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and of
15、ten is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something
16、else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish; “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned. “ Few men have pat
17、ience with this treatment, and the usual response is :“ This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based
18、on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only“ having a look round“. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the th
19、ought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to
20、 another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.36 According to the passage, when a man is buying clothes, _.（A）he buys cheap things
21、, regardless of quality（B） he chooses things that others recommend（C） he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things（D）he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear37 What do men care about the fit of new clothes?（A）They like their clothes to be bigger than the average
22、size.（B） Most men just assume that the size is right for them.（C） They make sure a thing fits before they buy it.（D）They do not worry whether a thing first well or not.38 What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?（A）He buys a similar thing of the color he wants.（B） He usually does
23、not buy anything.（C） At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.（D）So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.39 What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?（A）They welcome suggestions from anyone.（B） Women rarely consider buying cheap clothes.（C） Women ofte
24、n buy things without giving the matter proper thought.（D）They listen to advice but seldom take it.40 What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?（A）Men do not try clothes on in a shop.（B） Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.（C） Women care more about the quality tha
25、n men.（D）The time they take over buying clothes.40 As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling, without requiring the seller to purchase goods from the person who buys his products, or vice versa. Hence producers who know they wi
26、ll be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding cheapest market for the things they wish to purchase. Specialization, which is vital to an advanced economy, is encouraged, because people whose ou
27、tput is not a complete product but only a part of one in which many others are involved can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value, that is, it serves as a unit in terms of which the relative values of different products
28、 can be expressed. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal, which would be a difficult and time-consuming task. The process of establishing relative values would have to be
29、undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two partiesdesires and preferences. If I am trying to barter fish bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to barter fish for bananas, for examp
30、le, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to exchange bananas is or not keen on fish.Thirdly, money acts as a store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a person could save part of his output, since he w
31、ould be producing nothing complete. Even when a person actually produced a complete product the difficulties would be overwhelming. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products fo
32、r years on would involve obvious disadvantages-imagine a coal-miner attempting to save enough coal, which of course is his product, to keep him for life. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided for, or capital accumulated to raise productivity.
33、41 Using money as a medium of exchange means that_.（A）you have to sell something in order to buy something（B） you have to buy something in order to sell something（C） you dont have to buy something in order to sell something（D）the seller and the purchaser are the same person42 Specialization is encou
34、raged because people_.（A）can use their money to buy whatever they want（B） do not need to make a complete product for exchange（C） can share their products with many others（D）cannot use their money to buy whatever they want43 A barter economy is one in which_.（A）value is decided by weight（B） value is
35、decided by number（C） money is used goods are not exchanged（D）goods are exchanged and money is not used44 If one had to save products instead of money, _.（A）this would need years of practice（B） he could only save part of his products（C） they could not be stored for years on end（D）many products would
36、lose their value45 How many advantages of money are mentioned in this passage?（A）Two（B） Three（C） Four（D）Five45 Talk to those people who first saw films when they were silent, and they will tell you the experience was magic. The silent film had extraordinary powers to draw members of an audience into
37、 the story, and an equally potent capacity of make their imaginations work. It required the audience to become engagedto supply voices and sound effects. The audience was the final, creative contributor to the process of making a film.The finest films of the silent era depended on two elements that
38、we can seldom provide today a large and receptive audience and a well-orchestrated score. For the audience, the fusion of picture and live music added up to more than the sum of the respective parts.The one word that sums up the attitude of the silent filmmakers is enthusiasm, conveyed most strongly
39、 before formulas took shape and when there was more room for experimentation. This enthusiastic uncertainty often resulted in such accidental discoveries as new camera or editing techniques. Some films experimented with players; the 1915 film Regeneration, for example, by using real gangsters and st
40、reetwalkers, provided startling local color. Other films, particularly those of Thomas Ince, provided tragic endings as often as films by other companies supplied happy ones.Unfortunately, the vast majority of silent films survive today in inferior prints that no longer reflect the care that the ori
41、ginal technicians put into them. The modern versions of silent films may appear jerky and flickery, but the vast picture palaces did not attract four to six thousand people a night by giving them eyestrain. A silent film depends on its visuals; as soon as you degrade those, you lose elements that go
42、 far beyond the image on the surface. The acting in silent was often very subtle and very restrained, despite legends to the contrary.46 In paragraph 2, the sentence“ For the audience. . . parts, “indicates that_.（A）music was the most important element of silent films（B） silent films rely on a combi
43、nation of music and image in affecting an audience（C） the importance of music in silent film has been overestimated（D）live music compensated for the poor quality of silent film images47 The “formulas “mentioned in paragraph 3 of the passage most probably refers to _.（A）movie theaters（B） use of real
44、characters（C） contemporary events（D）standardized film techniques48 The author uses the phrase “ enthusiastic uncertainty“ in paragraph 3 to suggest that the filmmakers were _.（A）eager to challenge existing conventions（B） eager to please but unsure of what the public wanted（C） excited to be experimen
45、ting in an undefined area（D）delighted at the opportunity to study new acting formulas49 The last sentence of paragraph 1 implies that_.（A）the audience plays an important role in the process of making a film（B） silent film techniques should be studied by filmmakers today（C） visual effects defined the
46、 silent film（D）many silent films that exist today are of poor quality50 The word“restrained“ (the last line of the passage) most nearly means _.（A）sincere（B） dramatic（C） inexpressive（D）understated50 People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It is not easy
47、 to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are
48、no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have been developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often referred to as “ nature/nurture“.T
49、wo who support the“ nature“ side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior i
