27、re also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the products bought and sold in the economy, as well as of a myriad of services, including labor, professional transporta

28、tion, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the system of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a gr

29、oup of randomly selected individuals to define price, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of product or service or in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course

30、 valid as far as it goes. For a couple prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products, and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, more than the amount of money inv

31、olved must be known.

32、 terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees in the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors.

Where can the expression lame duck be heard?A.Only among hunters.B.Among primary school pupils.C.Among beautiful ladies.D.Among people who are discussing p

35、olitics.答案:D解析 17-20 The expression, lame duck, can be heard in almost any American town or city, especially where people discuss politics. Most often, they use it to describe a politician who has come to the end of his power. There are a number of ideas as to where lame duck came from, though the p

36、icture of a lame duck is clear enough-a duck that has had its wings cut out or its feet injured, and can no longer walk like a healthy one. The term seems to have come into the American language after the Civil War of 18611865. One explanation is that it came from the language of hunters who felt th

37、at it was foolish to waste powder or time on a dead duck. And a lame duck is close to being a dead duck. Another explanation, however, is that the expression came from England. There it was used to describe a man who lost all his money and could not pay his debts. He could do nothing but walk like a

38、 lame duck. And people showed little mercy for the poor fellow. But in the United States people took the phrase to describe congressman who failed to get re-elected but still had a little time left in office. Later, the expression was used in a broader sense, generally describing any man whose days

39、of power were coming to an end. It has often been used to describe the position of an American president in the last two years or so of his second term. It is a difficult time for him, when Congress is ready to oppose him at every turn 8. Which of the following can be called as a lame duck?A.A disab

40、led little child.B.A hard-working farmer.C.A politician who has to come to the end of his power.D.An absent-minded old professor.答案:C9.

What did the Roman army first build across the country when they came to Britain?答案:series of roads解析 21-30 Today we are going to consider three different types of structures buil

43、t during the Roman occupation of Britain, the marching camp, the fort and the fortress. When the Roman army under Claudius came to Britain in the year AD 43, the first thing they did was to build a series of roads across the country dividing up the native tribes and developing lines of communication

44、. Very soon roads stretched in bold lines across the island, defining and cutting off large areas of the countryside into smaller units so that they would be easier to police and control. The roads were first built for military reasons and were the work of soldiers as they made their way north and w

45、est across Britain. At the end of a days march, the soldiers would need to set up camps, sometimes for a night or two. They would put up their tents and build what has been called a marching camp to provide security during the hours of darkness. It was not a fort in the accepted sense and was only i

46、ntended for a short stay. The marching camp was a simple earthwork, usually rectangular in plan and surrounded on all its outer sides by a shallow ditch. The material from the ditch was used to construct a bank around the enclosure which, for practical purposes, had rounded comers. On top of the ban

47、k or wall there was a fence of stakes for further protection. Each soldier always carried two stakes for this purpose. There were no gates; instead the bank curved inwards on each side of the single entrance making a corridor that could easily be defended in the event of an attack during the night.

48、Another type of camp was almost identical in plan but it was meant for longer periods of stay and was called a semi-permanent camp. It too was rectangular, with rounded corners, and surrounded by a bank and ditch, although they would both have been wider and stronger, and the bank faced with loose s

49、tones or wood. The timber for the fence would have been cut from a nearby forest. Neither camp was meant to be a serious or permanent fortification-the purpose was temporary accommodation. Any fighting would have been carried on outside the enclosure, and the Roman soldiers with their superior weapo

50、ns and discipline would have easily defeated any attackers. By the 3rd century AD the road building program was complete; the Romans had laid down more than 6,000 miles of road, extending into Scotland. The roads were linked by a series of forts at strategic points which were permanent quarters or g

51、arrisons from which the army could easily control any resistant tribes of native Britons. Each fort was dependent on the great road network for communication and, if necessary, for assistance. The forts were first built of wood and then rebuilt of stone; however, they were only intended as accommoda

52、tion centers-any fighting would have been done outside them. The earliest ones were built during the first 300 years of the Roman occupation and were concentrated in the north of England and Wales, usually in high ground. They were offensive in purpose-that is, they offered shelter and supplies to s

53、oldiers who were better equipped and more disciplined than the warring tribes that attacked them-they were in a dominant position. Let us consider what one of these forts looked like. We shall discuss one of medium size, about 6 acres (2.4 hectares) in area. Small ones were about 1 hectare, whereas

54、large forts could be up to 24 hectares in area. We tend to call these very large forts fortresses and we shall be discussing them later on. Whatever their size, however, forts were usually of the same, uniform plan. A typical fort was rectangular in shape, the long sides being one-third longer than

55、the short sides. It had rounded comers and was built in an east-west direction. In the center of each wall was a wide gateway, flanked on either side by towers. At each of the four corners was an interior tower, square in shape. Four large, rectangular blocks occupied each quarter section of the com

56、pound, giving it a grid effect. These were the barracks or soldiers quarters and each block had a southern section reserved as a stable for the horses. Down the center of the compound in a north-south line were three main blocks. The most northerly of these was the food store which contained the foo

57、d supplies for many months, and the most southerly was the house of the commander or military head of the fort. 2. Where did the Roman soldiers stay at night?答案: in marching camps3. What else did they have for security around the enclosure where they stayed at night?答案: ditches, banks (and) fences4. Why did each soldier always carry two stakes during their marching?答案: to make fences5. How long was the extension of the road built by the Roman by the e
