32、n this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choi _s _rked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choi _ and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET 1 with a pencil. Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following

33、 passage: Less than 40 years ago in the United States, it was mon to change a one-dollar bill for a dollars worth of silver. That is because the coins were actually _de of silver. But those days are gone. There is no silver in todays coins. When the pri _ of the precious metal rises above its fa _ v

34、alue as money, the metal will bee more valuable in other uses. Silver coins are no longer in circulation because the silver in coins is worth much more than their fa _ value. A silver firm could find that it is cheaper to obtain silver by melting down coins than by buying it on the modity _rkets. Co

35、ins today are _de of an alloy of cheaper metals. Greshams Law, named after Sir Tho _s Gresham, argues that good money is driven out of circulation by bad money. Good money differs from bad money because it has higher modity value. Gresham lived in the 16th _ntury in England where it was mon for gold

36、 and silver coins to be debased. Gover _ents did this by mixing cheaper metals with gold and silver. The gover _ents could thus _ke a profit in coinage by issuing coins that had less precious metal than the fa _ value indicated. Because different mixings of coins had different amounts of gold and si

37、lver, even though they bore the same fa _ value, some coins were worth more than others as modities. People who dealt with gold and silver could easily see the differen _ between the good and the bad money. Gresham observed that coins with a higher content of gold and silver were kept rather than be

38、ing used in exchange, or were melted down for their precious metal. In the mid-1960s when the U.S. issued new coins to repla _ silver coins, Greshams law went right in action. 51. Why was it possible for Americans to use a one-dollar bill for a dollars worth of silver? A. Because there was a lot of

39、silver in the United States. B. Because money was the medium of payment. C. Because coins were _de of silver. D. Because silver was considered worthless. 52. Todays coins in the United States are _de of _. A. some precious metals B. silver and some precious metals C. various expensive metals D. some

40、 inexpensive metals 53. What is the differen _ between good money and bad money? A. They are circulated in different _rkets. B. They are issued in different fa _ values. C. They are _de of different amounts of gold and silver. D. They have different uses. 54. What was the purpose of the gover _ents

41、issuing new coins by mixing cheaper metals with gold and silver in the 16 th _ntury? A. They wanted to reserve some gold and silver for themselves. B. There was neither enough gold nor enough silver. C. New coins were easier to be _de. D. They could _ke money. Questions 55 to 58 are based on the fol

42、lowing passage: By the mid-nieenth _ntury, the term i _-box had entered the American language, but i _ was still only beginning to affect the _t of ordinary citizens in the United States: The i _ trade grew with the growth of cities. I _ was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forwar

43、d-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as i _ was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the i _ sold in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago,

44、 went to families for their own use. This had bee possible because a new household convenien _, the i _box, a precursor of the modem refrigerator, had been invented. Making an efficient i _box was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nieenth _ntury, the knowledge of heat, which was esse

45、ntial to a scien _ of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The monsense notion that the best i _box was one that prevented the i _ from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of i _ that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize i _ included wrapping the i _ in blank

46、ets, which kept the i _ from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nieenth _ntury did inventors achieve the delicate balan _ of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient i _box. But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Tho _s Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a

47、farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the _rket _nter. When he used an i _box of his own design to transport his butter to _rket, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his pe _s to pay a premium pri _

48、for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his i _box, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to _rket at night in order to keep their produ _ cool. 55. What is the _in idea of this passage? A. The influen _ of i _ on the _t. B. The tra

49、nsportation of goods to _rket. C. The development of refrigeration. D. Sour _s of the term i _-box. 56. Aording to the passage, when did the word i _box bee part of the American language? A. In 1803. B. Around 1850. C. During the Civil War. D. Before 1880. NextPage 57. The word rudimentary in paragr

50、aph 2 is closest in meaning to_ A. basic B. sufficient C. ne _ssary D. undeveloped 58. The senten _ Tho _s Moore had been on the right track (para.3) indicates that_ A. Moores farm was not far away from Washington B. Moores farm was on the right road C. Moores design was pletely suessful D. Moore wa

51、s suitable for the job Questions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage: Today, the puter has taken up applian _ status in more than 42 per _nt of households across the United States. And these puters are increasingly being wired to the Inter. Online aess was up more than 50 per _nt in just the

52、 past year. Now, more than one quarter of all U.S. households can surf in cyberspa _. Mostly, this explosive growth has ourred democratically. The online peration and puter ownership increases extend across all the demographic levels - by ra _, geography, ine, and education. We view these trends as

53、favorable without the slightest question because we clearly see puter technology as empowering. In fact, personal growth and a prosperous U.S. economy are considered to be the long-range rewards of individual and collective technological power. Now for the not-so-good news. The gover _ents _ysis spe

54、lls out so-called digital divide. That is, the digital explosion is not booming at the same pa _ for everyone. Yes, it is true that we are all plugged in to a much greater degree than any of us have been in the past. But some of us are more plugged in than others and are getting plugged in far more

55、rapidly. And this gap is widening even as the pa _ of the infor _tion age aelerates through society. Computer ownership and Inter aess are highly classified along lines of wealth, ra _, education, and geography. The data indicates that puter ownership and online aess are growing more rapidly among t

56、he most prosperous and well educated: essentially, wealthy white people with high school and college diplo _s and who are part of stable, two-parent households. The highest ine bracket households, those earning more than $75,000 annually, are 20 times as likely to have aess to the Inter as household

57、s at the lowest ine levels, under $10,000 annually. The puter peration rate at the high-ine level is an a _zing 76.56 per _nt, pared with 8 per _nt at the bottom end of the scale. Technology aess differs widely by educational level. College graduates are 16 times as likely to be Inter surfers at home as are those with only elementary-school education. If you look at the differen _s between these groups in rural areas, the gap widens to a twenty-six-fold advantage for the college-educated. From the time of the last study, the infor _tion aess gap grew by 29 per _nt between the highest and
