Read each passage carefully, and hen do the questions that follow.

23、 Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage 1Gopher Prairie, in which the action of Sinclair Lewis' Main Street (1920) takes place, is a town of 3, 000 inhabitants, smu

24、g, dull people whose one idea is to get on materially. They have no use for anyone who wishes something better for them; they oppose civic（市政的） reform, cultural and educational projects. The most honored citizens are bankers. Carol, who has been to college and held a position as a librarian, comes t

25、o Gopher Prairie to live with her doctor husband. Appalled by the stagnant（停滞的） life of the town, and failing to become adjusted to it, she tries a number of cultural ideas. Her efforts to establish a little theater meet with no encouragement. Indeed, the people merely think she is putting on airs.

26、Her affection for her husband wanes（衰落）, and she takes up with Erik Valborg, in whom she sees a spirit akin（类似的） to her own. She leaves the little town for Washington, D. C., where she works as a government clerk. Later she returns to Gopher Prairie, better equipped than before to understand the for

27、ces which shape Main Street.At the time of its first appearance, Main Street provoked a storm of protest on the ground that the novelist libeled（诽谤）good Americans. Today, no one thinks of repeating this charge. Indeed, as Lewis Gannett points out, Main Street has in no way changed except externally;

28、 it is the same Main Street; yet, doubtless it reads Sinclair Lewis' novels as eagerly as the rest of the nation. At the time when Main Street was published Lewis was accused of hating dull people. The novelist retorted that he did not hate them: he loved them. The truth is, the world of 1920 co

29、uld not stand criticism. The Pulitzer Prize committee refused to award Main Street a prize. The novelist was to have his revenge six years later, when he rejected the same award for Arrowsmith .51.Which of the following is the central preoccupation of the people of Gopher Prairie?A.Progressive educa

30、tion.B.Material possessions.C.Cultural activity.D.Civic reform.52.When the people of Gopher Prairie thought that Carol was "putting on airs, " they meant that she _.A. talkativeB. pretentiousC. organizedD. overdressed53.In the first paragraph, Erik Valborg's spirit is said to be "

31、akin" to Carol's, because they _ .A. are related by marriageB. share a common religionC. have mutual interestsD. are emotional people54.According to the passage, why was there such adverse reaction to Main Street in 1920?A.People were reluctant to admit their faults.B.Sinclair Lewis did not

32、 like honorable citizens.C.Gopher Prairie was portrayed inaccurately.D.The main character led an unconventional life.55.According to the passage, which of the following statements best explains why Sinclair Lewis rejected the Pulitzer Prize for Arrowsmith?A.He thought Arrowsmith was not worthy of th

33、e honor.B.He disapproved of the composition of the Pulitzer Prize committee.C.He claimed that the Pulitzer Prize had no status.D.He felt the committee had unjustly overlooked his previous work.Passage 2It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, b

34、ut manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and incon

35、siderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-hea

36、ded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to cre

37、ate an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical

38、examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in

39、 time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correc

40、tly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand

41、a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.56.According to the passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by _.A.people's attitude towards the road-hogB.the rhythm of modern lifeC.the behavior of the driverD.traffic condition

42、s57.The sentence "You might tolerate the odd road-hog . the rule. " (para. 1) implies that _.A. our society is unjust towards well-mannered motoristsB.rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC.the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hogD.nowadays impolite drivers constitute th

43、e majority of motorists58.By "good sense", the writer means_ .A.the driver's ability to understand and react reasonablyB.the driver's prompt response to difficult and severe conditionsC.the driver's tolerance of rude or even savage behaviorD.the driver's acknowledgement of

44、politeness and regulations59.Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, _.A.road users should make more sacrificeB.drivers should be ready to yield to each otherC.drivers should have more communication among themselvesD.drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no re

45、spect to others60.In the writer's opinion, _.A.strict traffic regulations are badly neededB.drivers should apply road politeness properlyC.rude drivers should be punishedD.drivers should avoid traffic jamsPassage 3As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two dis

46、tinct acts of buying and selling, without requiring the seller to purchase goods from the person who buys his products, or vice versa（反之亦然）. Hence, producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money,

47、can concentrate on finding cheapest market for the things they wish to purchase. Specialization, which is vital to an advanced economy, is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one in which many others are involved can be paid an amount equivalent to th

48、eir share of the product.Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value that is, it serves as a unit in terms of which the relative values of different products can be expressed. In a barter economy（物物交换经济） it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight

49、 of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal, which would be a difficult and time-consuming task. The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according

50、to the two parties' desires and preferences. If I am trying to barter fish for bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to exchange bananas is or is not keen on fish.Thirdly, money acts as a store of wealth. It is difficult to image saving under a barter system. No

51、one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Even when a person actually produced a complete product the difficulties would be overwhelming. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in

52、 value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on would involve obvious disadvantages imagine a coal-miner attempting to save enough coal, which of course is his product, to keep him for life. If wealth could not be saved, or only with

53、great difficulty, future needs could not be provided for, or capital accumulated to raise productivity.61.Using money as a medium of exchange means that_.A.you have to sell something in order to buy somethingB.you have to buy something in order to sell somethingC.you don't have to buy something

54、in order to sell somethingD.the seller and the purchaser are the same person62.Specialization is encouraged because_.A.people can use their money to buy whatever they wantB.people do not need to make a complete product for exchangeC.people make a great contribution to the manufacture of a productD.p

55、eople can not use their money to buy whatever they want63.A barter economy is one in which_.A.value is decided by weightB.value is decided by numberC.money is used and goods are not exchangedD.goods are exchanged and money is not used26164.If one had to save products instead of money, _.A.this would

56、 need years of practiceB.coal, for example, would lose its valueC.they could not be stored for years on endD.many products would lose their value65.How many advantages of money are mentioned in this passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 4Kristina Mercier noticed her ten-year-old son, Brad,

57、 was becoming a nervous wreck（精神脆弱者）the closer it got to test day. A high school English teacher in Wilmington, North Carolina, says Brad was terrified he'd flunk（不及格） a state-mandated test（州统考）. "He didn't want to go to school and started crying about every little thing," she says. "For a while, he was even having nightmares. I thought I'd have to take him to a psychiatrist. Then I found out the school principal was getting on the intercom every morning an
