“life brings us tears, smiles and memories. the tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”then came the core (核心) of the commencement. hundreds of names were announced. each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. from the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.to be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. a girl sitting next to me even started yawning. but it wasnt boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the

person has to work more hours to pay for the same thing. for example, lets say that this year a loaf of bread costs $1.00 and the average salary in the united states is $10.00 per hour. that means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread in one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes, then, halfway through the year, the price of bread goes up to $1.25, while wages stay the same. that means that a person how has to work one-eighth of an hour, or seven and a half minutes to buy the same loaf of bread. now lets say that at the end of the year, wages go up to$11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. now a person has to work more than one-seventh of an hour, over eight minutes to but the same loaf of bread. as you can see, if more and more work time is spent earning money to buy loaves of bread, employees will have less money left over to buy other things inflation means that the same money buys fewer things and everybodys standard of living goes down, even if salaries are going up. some kinds of inflation are worse than others, moderate inflation does not distort（扭曲）relative prices or incomes seriously, galloping inflation happens rapidly, say at a rate of 100 percent or more within a year. and then there is hyperinflationinflation so serious that people try to get rid of their currency before prices rise further and make the money worthless. times of hyperinflation are usually characterized by social and political disorder.1the passage mainly wants to .alist major economic problemsbdiscuss something about inflationcexplain why bread prices increasedstate the types of inflation2why is“a loaf of bread”repeatedly mentioned?ato express dissatisfaction with the price of bread.bto show the effect of price changes.cto compare bread with other food.dto explain social and political disorder.3what happens when prices go up but salaries remain the same?athe government will do more about the economy.bworkers might lose their jobs of they show dissatisfaction.cpeople will save money rather than spend it.dpeople must work longer to buy the same things.4which of the followings belongs to the type of moderate inflation?apeople try to get rid of their currency.binflation occurs at rate of 100 percent in a yearcincomes and relative prices rise slightly.dthere is social and political disorder.参考答案1-4 b b d c阅读理解-dare you a team person? are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? if so, the future may hold more for you than you think.high technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past. thats happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.but, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. high technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations-often thousands of miles apart-can work on the same project at once. they can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.examples? an engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. an architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. a medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.of course, computerassisted team effort doesnt end with investigation and simulation. it now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “computeraided design (cad) and computeraided manufacture (cam) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains dr. prakash rao, an engineering manager at general electric. “interdisciplinary teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. everything is interconnected like a network.”sometimes a computeraided effort can extend beyond production. a team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. for hightechnology team work, the future seems limitless.66. the underlined part “hold more” most probably means to .a. maintain more chances b. give more rights c. make more regulations d. store more information67. according to the passage, the writer believes that .a. teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beingsb. teamwork will be completely replaced by computersc. the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the pastd. high technology would make teamwork a thing of the past68 the examples given by the writer in paragraph 4 serve .a. to prove high techno
