This “horseshoe” was coated withvarnish and a layer of copper wire was wrapped around it. An electric current waspassed through the wire, thus making the rod magnetic. The rod was now, because ofmagnetic attraction, able to support nine pounds of iron. In the US, a scientistnamed Joseph Henry improved on Sturgeons electromagnet by insulating the copperwine with silk. He was able to wrap many turns of wire around an iron core withoutdanger of short circuits between the turns. His magnet could hold 2,300 pounds. Thisexperiment prompted Henry to try his hand at converting magnetism into electricity.First he coiled some insulated wire around an iron bar, connecting both ends of thewire to a galvanometer (电流表). The iron bar was placed across the poles of theelectromagnet. Then the coil of the electromagnet was connected to a battery. Thegalvanometer indicated a voltage, then dropped to zero. Henry signaled his assistantto disconnect the coil. The galvanometer showed that once again a voltage had beenproduced, although this time in the opposite direction. The principle ofelectromagnetic induction had thus been discovered. Unfortunately for Joseph Henryhe did not publish his findings and someone else (Faraday) got the credit for thediscovery.(1).The principle of electromagetic was discovered by _.(A).William Sturgeon(B).Joseph Henry(C).Faraday(D).someone else答案：B(2). Why did Sturgeons electromagnet could support nine pounds of iron?(A). Because the iron rod was bent into the shape of a “horseshoe”.(B).Because the rod was coated with varnish.(C).Because a layer of copper wire was wrapped around the rod.(D).Because the rod was made magnetic by the passing current.答案：D(3). What is NOT TRUE about Henrys electromagnet?(A).His magnet could hold 2,300 pounds.(B). His magnet was more dangerous.(C). There were more turns of wire around the iron rod in his magnet.(D). His magnet was an improved model.答案：B更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389(4). In Henrys experiment,he connected the wire to _.(A). a galvanometer(B).an iron bar(C).a battery(D).an electromagnet答案：A(5).

Three basic ways may be described as the market system,the administeredsystem, and the traditional system.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact each other in themarketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sellcommodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or moneyexchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas aretraded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old carin exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introductionof money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modernmarket economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency overall transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of eachkind of goods and services should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by eacheconomic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. Thecentral plan drawn up by government, shows amounts of each commodity produced by thevarious firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is anexample of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the wholeeconomy.In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed bytradition: every persons place in the economic system is fixed by parentage,religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. Peoplebelonging to a certain group of caste may have an obligation to care for otherpersons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389their education.

Yet quicksand is still common in many parts of the country. It maybe more dangerous for being less familiar.Quicksand is usually found along the shores and in the beds of rivers. It is simplysand saturated (使饱和) with water from beneath, as from a spring. The water flowinginto the sand separates the grains. The suspended grains give rather easily and aheavy object placed on the surface is likely to sink. How fast it sinks depends onits weight and surface area.How does one detect quicksand? It cannot be done by the eye alone, since sand whichlooks firm may suddenly collapse and trap anyone who ventures out on it. The onlyway to be sure is to test the sand before walking on it. For test a probing (探索)pole or long stick should be used. If the pole sinks more than six inches, the sandis probably quicksand.A traveler who stumbles into quicksand will soon sink to the depth of his knees. Ifhe stands still or struggles wildly, he will sink even further. He should at oncelie on his back and stretch out his arms. Contrary to popular notion, quicksand doesnot suck objects down, and will support more weight than water alone. While thetrapped person “floats” on the surface of the sand, rescuers should build aplatform with boards or branches. Then they can pull him out slowly.If the trapped person is alone, he can rescue himself. When he is in the floatingposition, he should begin rolling toward solid ground. Rolling is the only way ofgetting free. It should be done with frequent rests, so that the trapped person doesnot tire himself. When he reaches solid ground, he should swing his legs to safety,and quickly scramble out of the quicksand.(1). The main idea of this passage is _.(A).that today few people ever encounter quicksand(B).that quicksand is still common in many parts of the country(C). that quicksand cannot be detected by the eye alone(D).expressed by none of the above答案：D(2). According to the passage, quicksand is usually found _.(A). on hillsides(B). far inland(C). near water(D). on prairies答案：C(3). For detecting quicksand the author recommends _.(A). good eyesight(B).fast thinking(C). the use of a long pole(D). testing the surface with your shoe答案：C更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389(4). If you are alone and you stumble into quicksand, you should _.(A).struggle(B).stand still(C). call for help(D). lie on your back答案：D(5).
