If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.The market may be something abstract（抽象的）. But for each person or business who is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it wont be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesnt want you to do.56Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?ASelling and Buying.BEverything you do is producing for the market.CWhat is the market?DWhat the market can do for you.57All of the following acts are producing for the market except .Aworking in a bankBattending a night schoolCprinting a bookDgrowing beans for sale58You are buying from the market when you .Aborrow a book from the libraryBdrive to the seaside for a holidayClook after your childrenDdine at restaurant59The word “concrete” in the last paragraph may most probably mean .AseriousBimportantCnecessaryDreal60In what way is the market very concrete for each person or business who is making and selling something?AIt tells you what to produceBIt provides you with everything you needCIt tells you how to grow tomatoesDIt helps you save moneyBHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. Whats more, life is always giving new things to the childthings that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.61According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that .Alife for a child is fairly easyBa child is always loved whatever he doesCif much is given to a child, he must do something in returnDonly children are interested in life62The main idea of the passage is that .Alife is not enjoyable since each age has some painsByoung men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardCchildhood is the most enjoyable time in ones lifeDone is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life63The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss .Aexamples of successful young menBhow to build up ones position in societyCjoys and pains of old peopleDwhat to do when one has problems in lifeCIn the United States today, a large group of people want a college education. However, everyone is not able to attend a four-year college. Many four-year colleges are already too crowed. To give more people a chance to get a college education, some cities and towns have built junior colleges.The junior college offers a two-year courses of study in a wide range（范围）of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry.Because junior colleges are built in cities, they can serve many people who live in a large community. Many students can not afford to go to a four-year college. But they can save enough to go to a junior college. The entrance fee at a junior college is low. Students can also save money by living at home.A junior college admits some high school graduates who would not be accepted at other schools. The four-year college turns down students whose high school grades are low. The junior college will often admit a student who might do well in taking a two-year course.One of the goals of our country is to educate as many people as possible. The junior college is a school meant to serve many people. It puts a college education within the reach of a great number of people. Without these schools, many people would not be able to continue their education past high school.64The main idea of paragraph One is that junior colleges .Aoffer two-year coursesBare as good as four-year collegesCare badly neededDare too crowed65According to the passage, junior colleges .Aadmit those whose high school grades are not very lowBcan admit more students than four-year collegesCoffer very limited subjectsDonly train students for jobs in business66It is known the passage that .Aall high school graduates can go to collegesBjunior colleges are built in cities while four-year colleges are in the countryCjunior colleges are replacing four-year collegeDjunior college help to make college education popularDAmericans usually make allowance for（宽容）non-native speakers who have some trouble understanding English. But they become annoyed when a person pretends to understand but doesnt really and then creates problems because of misunderstanding what is said. No one wants soap when he asks for soup. So if you dont understand what is said to you, admit it and politely ask the person to repeat or explain.Second, it is quite rude to talk with a friend in your native language and leave your American friends standing there feeling stupid because they cant understand the conversation. The Americans may also feel that you are talking about them or saying something you dont want them to hear. If you must switch to your native language to explain something to a non-English-speaking friend, at least translate for your American friends so they dont feel left out.Learn just a few more polite English expressions, and youll be ready to face the world of Americans with confidence. The polite response（反应）to a compliment（赞扬）about your looks or your work is “Thank you.” (A smile and a nod is not enough.) The response to “Thank you.” is, of course, “Youre welcome.” If someone asks, “How are you?” dont give your medical history. Just say, “Fine, thanks. How are you?” Finally, what should you say when someone sneezes（打喷嚏）? It may not seem logical, but the correct response is “God bless you.” Thats about all there is to it. Now that youve learned this general knowledge of manners in the U. S. A. , youre ready to be polite in English, Lets hope your American friends will be just as polite.67Which of the following does the writer not refer to?ADont let any of your friends feel left out in the course of conversation.BAsk for repetition once you fail to follow American natives.CNever serve your guest soap if he actually asks for soup.DPolitely thank the person for his kindness when youre praised by him.68In the first paragraph, the underlined word “annoyed” means .Arather angryBvery impoliteCquite unfriendlyDfairly pleased69The passage is mainly about in the U. S. A.Athe importance of good mannersBthe general knowledge of EnglishCthe skill in daily conversationsDthe good manners in communication70When you talk with someone in your native language, your American friend may feel .Ahe should learn the languageByou try to keep some secret from himCyou are angry with himDhe becomes a foolEHank Viscardi was 26 years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes. For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be-a full five feet eight inches tall.Hank had been born without legs. Until he was seven, his world was a world of repeated operations. At last he had not legs, but stumps（残肢）that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.Out of the hospital, Hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man” because his arms dragged（拖）on the ground.He went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.After graduation, Hank worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, Hank had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.Hank felt himself go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial（人造的）legs.Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time, five feet eight inches tall.But this was not the end yet. He had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed the stairs and learned to dance
