The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raisin
16、g the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for a long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the
17、 business in exchange for a share in future profits.They do this by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so, they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.Many of the services needed both by industry and
18、 by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than
19、is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose standard of living does not depend
20、 on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development.This new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.36 Almost all companies involved in new production a
21、nd development must_.（A）depend on the population as a whole for finance（B） rely on their own financial resources（C） persuade the banks to provide long-term finance（D）borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know37 When the savers want their money back, they_（A）put their shares in the
22、company back on the market（B） transfer their money to a more successful company（C） look for other people to borrow money（D）ask another company to obtain their money for them38 The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is_（A）repaid to its original owners as soon as possi
23、ble（B） invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange（C） exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange（D）raised by the selling of shares in the companies39 All the essential services on which we depend are_.（A）unable to provide for the needs of the population（B） financed wholly by rates
24、and taxes（C） in constant need of financial support（D）run by the government or our local authorities40 The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, local authorities and nationalized industries_.（A）to make certain everybody lends money to them（B） to raise money to finance new development（
25、C） to make certain everybody saves money（D）to borrow as much money as they wish40 A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history fo
26、cuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and
27、 a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is
28、 subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political“ artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse(滥用)of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect
29、 a culture s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could still un
30、derstand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was(and still is)its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues(雕像 )are not holy.41 More can be learned about a culture from a stu
31、dy of art history than general history because_.（A）art history shows us nothing but the political values（B） general history only focuses on politics（C） art history gives us an insight(洞察力)into the essential qualities of a time and a place（D）general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions a
32、nd psychology42 Art is subjective in that_.（A）a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it（B） it only reflects people s anger or sadness about social problems（C） it can easily arouse people s anger about their government（D）artists were or are religious, who reflect only the relig
33、ious aspect of the society43 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?（A）In history books political views of people are entirely presented.（B） Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808.（C） In the Middle East, you can hardly find an
34、imal or human figures on palaces or other building.（D）For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.44 The passage mainly discusses _.（A）the development of art history（B） the difference between general history and art history（C） what we can lear
35、n from art（D）the influence of artists on art history45 It can be concluded from the passage that_.（A）Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintings（B） it is more difficult to study art history than general history（C） a history teacher must be quite objective（D）art
36、ists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefs45 To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television or newspaper to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses to make weather
37、predictions.There are many signs which can help you. For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high. The air is still and often full of dust. Faraway objects may look hazy. But when a storm is brewing, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clearly. Sailors too
38、k note of this long ago and came up with a saying “The farther the sign, the nearer the rain.Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes. Just before it rains, odors become stronger. This is because odors are repressed in a fair, high-pressure center. When a bad weather low moves in
39、, air pressure lessens and odors are released.You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way: “Sounds traveling far and wide, a storm day will betide(降临). “And don t scoff if your grandmother
40、says she can feel a storm coming. It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones or in corns and buntons when the humidity rises, the pressure drops, and bad weather is on the way.46 The topic of this passage could be_.（A）Expert Weather Forecast（B） Seeing Approaching Storms（C） Old S
41、ayings about Weather（D）Using the Senses to Detect Weather Changes47 According to the passage, as a storm approaches, faraway objects look_.（A）hazy because of dust in the air（B） clearer because air pressure is high（C） clearer because air pressure is dropping（D）distorted because of storm clouds48 In t
42、he last paragraph, the writer implies that_.（A）the idea of feeling a coming storm is foolish（B） older people know a lot about weather（C） it is possible, but unlikely, that people feel aches when a storm is coming（D）it is definitely true that some people can feel coming weather changes49 The underlin
43、ed word “repressed“ in Paragraph 3 is close to_.（A）crush（B） restrict（C） lower（D）struggle50 How many senses can help you detect weather change in article?（A）Three.（B） More than three.（C） Only one.（D）Two.50 Part time education, that is, attending school at night or one weekend a month, tends to drag t
44、he process out over time and put the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one s career and family time.Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most fle
45、xible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in today s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the stu
46、dent s convenience with due regard to all life s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, teleconfe
47、rencing and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. Another characteristic of a good distance learning program is the equivalence of the distance learning course with the same subject materials as those stu
48、dents taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has
49、 a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retainin
