Week 10ThursdayTask 1:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。(2013江苏,B)Weve considered several ways of paying to cut in line:hiring line standers,buying tickets from scalpers(票贩子),or purchasing linecutting privileges directly from,say,an airline or an amusement park.Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue(waiting your turn)with the morals of the market(paying a price for faster service)Markets and queuespaying and waitingare two different ways of allocating things,and each is appropriate to different activities.The morals of the queue,“First come,first served,”have an egalitarian(平等主义的)appeal.They tell us to ignore privilege,power,and deep pockets.The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops.But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions.If I put my house up for sale,I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along,simply because its the first.Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities,properly governed by different standards.Sometimes standards change,and it is unclear which principle should apply.Think of the recorded message you hear,played over and over,as you wait on hold when calling your bank:“Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.”This is essential for the morals of the queue.Its as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.But dont take the recorded message too seriously.Today,some peoples calls are answered faster than others.Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places.You might call this telephonic queue jumping.Of course,markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things.Some goods we distribute by merit,others by need,still others by chance.However,the tendency of markets to replace queues,and other nonmarket ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore.It is striking that most of the paid queuejumping schemes weve consideredat airports and amusement parks,in call centers,doctors offices,and national parksare recent developments,scarcely imaginable three decades ago.The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern,but these are not the only places that markets have entered.【语篇解读】社会生活类文章。文章主要议论分配事物的两种准则:序列准则和市场准则,序列准则讲究公平,崇尚“先到先得”,而市场准则讲究快速服务。序列准则适用于某些情况,例如在操场上或公交车站,但是此准则并不能控制所有的场合,例如在卖房子时无需遵循此准则。随后作者介绍在分配事物时这两种准则的标准已经发生了改变,而且除了这两种准则外,还有其他准则。1According to the author,which of the following seems governed by the principle “First come,first served”?ATaking buses.BBuying houses.CFlying with an airline.DVisiting amusement parks.答案A细节理解题。从第三段第一句“The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops.”可知答案为A。2The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates_Athe necessity of patience in queuingBthe advantage of modern technologyCthe uncertainty of allocation principleDthe fairness of telephonic services答案C推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段的开头中心句可知事例服务于中心句,第四段第一句明确提到“it is unclear which principle should apply.”,因此可以推断答案为C。3The passage is meant to_Ajustify paying for faster servicesBdiscuss the morals of allocating thingsCanalyze the reason for standing in lineDcriticize the behavior of queue jumping答案B主旨大意题。根据文章的首段、尾段以及各段中心句可知本文主要讲述分配事物的准则。Task 2:词汇积累1cut in line插队,加塞2privilege n优惠特权3allocate vt.分配4appropriate adj.适当的5over and over再三6essential adj.必要的7take.seriously认真对待8tendency n倾向Task 3:经典背诵1S
