23、Sheet.Passage 1The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already compla ining about the no ise in their city. They couldn t sleepdtheth all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise wasmerely a disturba nee. For us it has become a real dan ger. We know that the sounds of an averagecity ar

24、e loud eno ugh to cause serious dam age to the in habita nts hieaiihegjnd States,one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getti ng worse all the time, since no ise in creases with the populati on.Noise has also in creased eno rmously in the 20

25、th cen tury with the developme nt of mach in es. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills that roar day and ni ght up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the un it used to measure the loud ness of sound. A no rmal con versati on reache

26、s 55 decibels, thun der roars at 70 decibels, a jet pla ne goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approach ing the stati on, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops heari ng sound, and pain star

27、ts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder tha n ano ther one is felt as twice as loud, whe n in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the in crease or decrease of no ise, we n ever know to what dan ger we are

28、exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, an ger, and many men tal and physical problems. Such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive he

29、avy trucks, operate pn eumatic drills, or go freque ntly to rock-a nd-roll con certs.Is there a solutio n? We do know how to build quieter mach in es, if the public wants them. But merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instanee, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powe

30、rful. Some cities are trying to enforce more strictly their an ti-no ise laws. In Memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.Actually, it

31、will take everybody s efforts to keep city noises fromEhcreasinsay theexperts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the populati on. The in habita nts will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table. Uni ess, of course, they have all become c

People who have more of a good tha n they want seek out other people who have someth ing they lack. Through excha nge, both parties attempt

35、to make themselves better off. The complicati ons of intern ati onal trade arise because the two parties use different monies. An American who wants to buy a Japanese automobile cannot expect the Japa nese manu facturer to accept U.S dollars in payme nt, uni ess by sheer coin cide nee the manu factu

36、rer happe ns at the time to want to buy a new computer from an America n firm. Otherwise the auto manu facturer will be stuck with money that no tempura shop or geisha in Tokyo will accept; in Japa n the dollars are useless.Of course, things are rarely as complicated as is suggested above .In both t

37、he Un ited States and Japa n there are banks that specialize in buying and selli ng foreig n curre ncies. The sophisticated America n would n ever offer dollars to the Japa nese. In stead he would go to his bank and purchase Japaneseyen with his dollars, then offer yen in payment for the car. Availa

38、bility of yen would then make trade with Japa n no more complicated tha n buying groceries at a n eighborhood supermarket. But what is the price of yen? This question is more than slightly important. Ifyen are cheap ifmany can be bought for a dollar the n buying Japa nese goods will be attractive to

39、 America ns, and America n goods will be expe nsive to Japa nese buyers.The qua ntities of goods excha nged betwee n two coun tries depe nd on complex forces. Even though unfettered trade might allow the world to consume more, each country is likely to be more concerned about employme nt and in come

40、s at home tha n about econo mist ssura nces of the efficie ncy of trade. Both coun tries may therefore try to en courage exports and discourage imports. Obviously, both coun tries cannot succeed at once.There is another side of the situation for many countries the developing countries especially, bu

41、t also small isla nd n ati ons, such as Japa n and Great Brita in. Their ability to import goods in the future may be as important as economic efficiency and full employment in the present. These countries depend on imports of spare parts, equipment, and raw material to keep their economies operatin

42、g. Not to have the foreign exchange to buy a new bearing for a steam turbine, or oil, or fertilizer, when the need arises is a risk they simply cannot afford. For this reason, countries, even rich countries, try to keep reserves of foreign currencies around. Just as individuals keep savings to meet

43、emerge ncies and to cover payme nts on the televisi on if they are laid off, so do n ati ons attempt to maintain hoards of foreig n curre ncies to cover un expected even ts.The price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currency (say, dollars) is thus a major issue. And it is closely tied

44、to the n eed to maintain reserves and the desire to man age certa in aspects of the domestic economy. Over the past two cen turies, a nu mber of intern ati onal mon etary systems have bee n set up to deal with these questi ons. All have proved in adequate. The in terests of some countries inevitably

45、 conflict with the interests of others, and so the system collapses. But in spite of its limitati ons and faults, the intern ati on al fi nan cial system is importa nt to all of us.56. Through excha nge, both parties attempt to make themselves better off.A. a gatheri ng of people for food and amusem

46、e ntB. an association of people having the same political aimsC. a group of people doing someth ing togetherD. one of the peopleor sides n an agreement or argumen57. Just as and to cover payments on the television if they aheid off,.A. put asideB. bought without fully being paid forC. stoppedD. dism

47、issed temporary58. ,so do nations attempt to maintain hoards of foreig n currencies to cover unexpected events.A. to includeB. to spread over C. to protect D. to be enough money for59. The price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currencyA. shown in some other wayB. show n in wordsC. sen

The price of any foreig n curre ncyis tbissu majorA. example B. result C. something printed D. a matter of concernPassage 3In Japa n s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake dan ger limits the height of buildi ngs. Thcity has spread out so far and the traffic h

49、as become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has skyrocketed. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the con clusi on that there was no where to go but dow n. So far they have dug out space un dergro und from fiftee

50、 n major shopp ing cen ters, and the un dergro und con struct ion has only begu n.s busy streets.What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Ano ther adva ntage is th

51、at you escape the ever- prese nt threat of traffic accide nts on the city Still ano ther is the convenience of gett ing around: Youy right n exttore)ueuein in, a subwaystation. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in dow ntow n Tokyo, has a hot

52、el with a bar, restaura nt, and barbershop.All sorts of surprises can be found in the underground world. At the enormous Shinjuku Subway Stati on you arrive at a scarce item in Tokyo a park ing lot and you find stores and shops a few steps away. In the second basement of the Toshiba Building is a “

53、Fisherman Wharf ” crowded with pleasant little seafood places. A tunnel that connects the Hibiya and Sanshin Buildings has a number of art galleries, as well as medical and dental clinics. In between are little coffee shops where you can relax and get refreshme nts.Probably the most versatile of the

54、 un dergro und won ders, and certai nly the most complicated to build, is the Yaesu Subce nter at the heart of the city, where four subway lines link up. Its shopp ing area, which is the size of three football fields, contains 350 stores. In Yaesu you can eat in a different place every day for three

55、 mon ths. You can draw money out of a bank and in vest it at a stockbroker office. There are tailors, watch repairers, furriers, florists, and book sellers. And you can even get arrested by a police officer from the Yaesu police statio n!Under all the commercial activity is a parking lot for 520 car

56、s. And under that is a control center where TV monitors watch the devices that watch the air its temperature, moisture, and purity. There is no alarm for earthquakes, which are com mon in Tokyo, but the experts feel that there would be fewer problems un dergr ound tha n on the surface in case of an

57、earthquake. Yaesu also has emerge ncy gen erators for power and a chemical system for fight ing fire.Un dergro und con struct ion can be complex and expe nsive. At times, the Yaesu crews could work only three hours a day because their activities in terfered with the running of the subway. Then there

58、 was the problem caused by finding unidentified water and gas pipes. Since many of the municipal blueprints of pipe systems were destroyed during World War II, strange pipes keptturning up; and work had to be stopped while they were identified and taken care of by detour or replaceme nt.There was also some re
