17、g ability.There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.36 Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the wo
18、rld. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on t
19、he way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travel fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means tha
20、t the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time
21、difference influenced peoples actions. For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the l
22、arge and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, Communication took much more time than it does now.36 News spreads fast because of_.（A）new technology（B） a peace agree
23、ment（C） the changes of the world（D）modern transportation37 According to this passage, _is very important to people in a disaster area.（A）latest news（B） fast communication（C） new ideas（D）modern technology38 Which of the following statements is TRUE ?（A）The world is changing in size.（B） The distance b
24、etween England and America has changed since the War of 1812.（C） The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.（D）The world is actually smaller today.39 Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried_.（A）by air（B） by sea（C） by land（D）by telephone and telegraph40 The New
25、 Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed_.（A）in America（B） in England（C） by both sides（D）in time41 When prices are low people will buy more, and when prices are high they will buy less. Every shopkeeper knows this. But at the same time, producers want higher pri
26、ce for their goods when they make more goods. How can we find the best price for the goods? The Law of Supply and Demand is the economists answer to this question.According to this law, changes in the prices of goods cause change in supply and demand. An increase in the price of the goods causes an
27、increase in supply-then number of goods the producers make. Producers will make more goods when they can get higher prices for the goods. The producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. At the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demandthe number of good
28、s the consumers buy. This is because people buy less when the price is high. People buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. Conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand (people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply (producers make fewer shoes).Business firms look at bot
29、h supply and demand when they make decisions about price and production. They look for the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. At this point, the number of shoes produced is 3000 and the price of the shoes is $30. $30 is the equilibrium price: at this price the consumers will buy all of th
30、e 3000 shoes which the producers make. If the producers increase the price of the shoes, or if they produce more than 3000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. The producers will have a surplus(过剩)more supply than demandso they must decrease the price in order to sell all of the shoes
31、. On the other hand, if they make fewer than 3000 shoes, there will be a shoes shortage more demand than supplyand the price will go up.According to the Law of Supply and Demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the good. The consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it
32、 is the only price that helps them both equally.41 Why does an increase in price cause an increase in supply? _（A）Consumers buy more goods when prices are high.（B） Producers make more goods when prices are high.（C） Producers want to sell all of their goods.（D）Consumers will not buy all of the goods.
33、42 Why does a decrease in prices cause an increase in demand?（A）Consumers buy fewer goods when prices are low.（B） Producers make fewer goods when prices are low.（C） Producers make more goods when prices are high.（D）Consumers buy more goods when prices are low. 43 What do business firms look at when
34、they make decisions about prices and production?（A）The supply curve.（B） The demand curve.（C） The equilibrium point.（D）All of the above.44 Why will consumers and producers agree on the equilibrium price?（A）It will help them both equally.（B） It is the only price for the goods.（C） lt is the lowest pric
35、e.（D）AU of the goods will be sold.45 When will producers have a surplus of goods?（A）When supply equals demand.（B） When there is more supply than demand.（C） When there is more demand than supply.（D）When they sell all of their goods.46 Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and
36、 for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example
37、, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because peoples precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members o
38、f society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin
39、 is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based On face valuethe value that the gove
40、rnments choose to give them, which doesnt show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum(铝), nickel( 镍), lead, zinc(锌), plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really“ promise to pay“. Pa
41、per money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “money“ in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places
42、, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.46 Barter here means_.（A）exchanging goods for money（B） exchanging sheep for anything in the market（C） exchanging goods for goods（D）exchanging money for goods47 Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?（A
43、）Because they were durable and portable.（B） Because they were recognizable.（C） Because they were divisible.（D）All of the above.48 Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them_.（A）before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries（B） after the eighteenth and nineteenth
44、 centuries（C） during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries（D）between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries49 Promises to pay means_.（A）possibilities to pay（B） obligations to pay（C） necessities to pay（D）opportunities to pay50 A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is_.（A）suitabl

When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside
