In addition to _43_ demand, businesses have demand for resources and products. _44_ demands are called derived demands; that is, they are derived from or _45_ consumer demand. In order to produce a _46_ for the consumer, a businessman demands things. For example, he may _47_ land labor, buildings, machinery, raw materials, transportation _48_, communication services, semi-finished _49_. Such demands are “ derived”. No manufacturer _50_ hire labor, buy raw materials, open a plant and set up equipment _51_ he thinks he can sell the products _52_ makes.Ultimately, all the production has as its goal the satisfaction of final demand. Most of the _53_ demand is consumer demand. _54_ governments (national, state and local) also have final demands _55_ products.Much production is undertaken _56_ another business demands the products. Steel, for example, is demanded by manufacturers _57_ the products of automobiles. Consumers buy _58_ if any, steel.But it is the consumers demand for such things as automobiles _59_ creates the produces demand for steel. This demand _60_ creates a demand for pig iron, limestone and other raw materials needed to make steel. All these demands are derived from the demand created by the ultimate purchasers of final products.41.A. in B. withC. of D. to42.A. createdB. createsC. creatingD. create43.A. producerB. managerC. humanD. consumer44.A.

To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others. Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today. For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyones daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of mature as we can. 61. The authors attitude towards the current situation in the exploitation of natural resources is _. A. positiveB. neutralC. suspiciousD. critical62. According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _. A. they had no idea about scientific forestryB. they had little or no sense of environmental protectionC. they were not aware of the significance of nature studyD. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials63. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that earlier generations didnt realize _. A. the interdependence of water, soil, and living thingsB. the importance of the proper use of landC. the harmfulness of soil destruction and river floodsD. the extraordinarily rapid growth of population64. To avoid the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _. A. we plant more treesB. natural sciences be taught to everybodyC. environmental education be directed toward everyoneD. we return to nature65. What does the author imply by saying “living space is figured also in cubic volume above the earth” (Para. 3)?A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller. B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume. C. We need to take some measures to protect space. D. We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and animals. Passage TwoUri first did five tests of telepathy using either numbers or drawings. He was correct in four out of five tries. He then asked to be given some metal objects. Dr. Puthoff took out a copper ring, a fork, and his silver chain, which Uri briefly touched. Dr. Puthoff put his hand over these objects. Uri placed his hand over Dr. Puthoffs hand. After Uri had concentrated for some 30 seconds on the objects, Dr. Puthoff removed his hand. The copper ring had gone from a circle to an egg-shape. The scientists were all amazed. Next came work in the laboratory. Uris first test was with an instrument called a magnetometer, which measures the strength of magnetic fields. Uri concentrated hard on the instrument and finally the needle deflected, indicating that his mind had simulated the effect that a magnetic field would produce. The test was repeated many times and each time it was observed that Uris mind had a visible effect on the needle. Nevertheless, he had to make an immense effort to simulate this “mental magnetic field”. The next day an attempt was made to see of the change in shape of the metal ring could be recorded in some way. One of the scientists held a metal ring under water. Uri touched this ring with one finger. The entire procedure was recorded by sound waves which made a picture similar to an X-ray, showing the bones of the hands and the metal ring. This sound picture was then passed on to a television screen and videotaped. While Uri was concentrating it was noticed that the television picture and the videotape recording were affected. In addition, it was seen that the brass ring was being flattened by Uris mind power. The experiment lasted for several hours and during this time the scientists working on the floor below Uri experienced considerable difficulty with their computers, one of which could not be used at all while he was concentrating. The experiments went on for five weeks. Among the most interesting of the laboratory tests was one designed to show Uri Gellers power of “seeing” shapes and figures drawn by perfect strangers and placed in sealed envelopes. At no time during the experiment did Geller have any advance knowledge of the target material. He admitted that he could not get about one in five of the drawings, but he succeeded in reproducing 80 percent of the drawings correctly. He would look at the envelope, which he did not touch, chat for several minutes and then draw his representation of it. Very often the sketch he made was identical in size to the drawing inside the envelope. In another experiment a single dice was placed in a metal box and shaken. Geller was then asked to guess which number was showing on top of the dice. Out of ten tries he twice effused to guess. The other eight times he got the correct number. Statistically, this is a probability of about a million to one!66. In one of the tests, Uri Geller _. A. broke Dr. Puthoffs ring with one fingerB. turned the ring into an eggC. bent the ring in his handsD. changed its shape without touching it67. In his first laboratory test, Uri Geller _.A. was able to measure the strength of magnetic fieldsB. succeeded in simulating a magnetic fieldC. was interested in testing the strength of the magnetometerD. had great difficulty deflecting the needle of the magnetometer58. The scientists wanted to _. A. have tangible proof of the effects of Gellers “mind power”B. see if Geller could disturb the functioning of a computerC. take an X-ray of Gellers handD. prove that Geller could not change the shape of metal without touching it69. Gellers reproductions of the drawings in the envelopes were _. A. identical to the original in every detailB. occasionally similar to the originalC. correct in shape but not in sizeD. correct in shape and often in size70. The experiment with the dice showed that Geller was _.A. good at guessing B. good at arithmeticC. gifted with supernatural powerD. only a fraudPassage ThreeAlthough it might have happened anywhere, my encounter with the green banana started on a steep mountain road in the interior of Brazil. My ancient jeep was straining up through spectacular countryside when the radiator began to leak, ten miles from the nearest mechanic. The over-heated engine forced me to stop at the next village, which consisted of a small store and a scattering of houses. People gathered to look. Three fine streams of hot water spouted from holes in the jacket of the radiator. “Thats easy to fix,” a man said. He sent a boy running for some green bananas. He patted me on the shoulder, assuring me everything would work out. “Green bananas,” he smiled. Everyone agreed. We exchanged pleasantries while I mulled over the ramifications of the green banana. Asking questions would betray me ignorance, so I remarked on the beauty of the terrain. Huge rock formations, like Sugar Loaf in Rio, rose up all around us. “Do you see that tall one right over there?” asked my benefactor, pointing to a particular tall, slender pinnacle of dark rock. “That rock marks the center of the world.”I looked to see if he was teasing me, but his face was serious. He in turn inspected me carefully to be sure I grasped the significance of his statement. The occasion demanded some show of recognition on my part. “The center of the world?” I repeated, trying to convey interest if not complete acceptance. He nodded. “The absolute center. Everyone around here knows it.” At that moment the boy returned with my green bananas. The man sliced one in half and pressed the cut end against the radiator jacket. The banana melted into a glue against the hot metal,
