For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1He slept for a good six hours, and the sun was high when he awoke. As he sat up and yawned, a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders, and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back. He turned and stared into Brankos hairy face. “Whats this?” he said. The old man tested the knots before answering, “Orders, Black Peters changed his mind. Until we can check on you.”Martin swore loudly, then asked if he could talk to Black Peter. Branko shook his head, “Hes busy.” Martin was seized by despair. Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter.After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel. Branko followed. The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various duties. There must have been a stream somewhere nearby, for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water; others were setting up tents and lighting fire. Immediately opposite was another tunnel, at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns. Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter. “There he is,”he said, “I must talk to him.” Branko tried to stop him, but he pushed him aside, walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out: “Black Peter! I must talk to you.”The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box, deep in conversation with two rough-looking men. “What is it?” he said, “Why are you checking on me?”Martin replied. “I need to be sure about you,” said Black Peter. “Theres too much to close.”He pointed into the tunnel, and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars. “Is that the treasure?” he asked. Black Peter stood up, struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans. “Yes,” he said at last.41. Martins night rest _ .A. was disturbed B. lasted less than six hoursC. lasted more than six hours D. was suddenly cut short42. What happened as soon as Martin woke up?A. Branko struck him.B. He was made a prisoner.C. Branko checked that he was still tied up.D. He was taken off to speak to Black Peter.43. The success of Martins plans now depended on his _ .A. escaping from the tunnelB. finding the treasureC. discovering who the leader of the White Eagles wasD. persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted44. When he got to the mouth of the tunnel, Martin saw men _ .A. in fairly large numbersB. fetching water from the streamC. packing up camp and getting ready to leaveD. resting in small groups45. Black Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because _ .A. he was so satisfied with what he had doneB. he had decided to trust MartinC. he saw that he could no longer keep it a secretD. he knew that Martin could not escapePassage 2Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as a part of automated production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present forms without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers)while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. After the new system has settled down people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increase productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run.46. The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from _ .A. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introductionB. their use as part of automated production systemsC. the least possible number of operatorsD. the production system in steelworks47. The underlined word “They” (Line 1, Para. 2) refers to _ .A. computers B. jobsC. activities D. systems48. According to Paragraph 2, without computers _ .A. human activities could not continueB. there could not be weather forecasting systemsC. many activities would have to change their present formsD. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing49. According to the passage,what results from the introduction of computers？A. After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C. The firm keeps all of its original staff members.D. The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.50. James Callaghans attitude towards computers can be best described as _ .A. doubtful B. regretfulC. unfriendly D. supportivePassage 3Well, sir, opening a bank account is not very difficult.

He must obtain data both on resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most, people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomeshe would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 19471950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months,” she said, “well have to pay more for meat and milk; well have less to spend on other things.” Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyers resistance may be evoked. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just dont pay these prices; they are too high.”The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conducive（有助于) to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.56. It can be learned from the passage that if one wants to predict how consumers will spend their money, he should _ .A. carry out investigations on consumer behavior and obtain relative dataB. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend moneyC. rely on traditional assumptions about saving and spendingD. do researches in consumer psychology in a lab57. According to Paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that _ .A. price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy thingsB. rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain thingsC. women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than menD. the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry58. The investigations results on c
