Each pas

20、sage is followed by some questionsor unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passageLast weekend Kyle

21、MacDonald in Montreal threw a party to celebrate the fact that he got his newhome in exchange for a red paper clip. Starting a year ago, MacDonald bartered the clip for increasinglyvaluable staff, including a camp stove and free rent in a Phoenix flat. Having announced his aim(the house)in advance,

22、MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power. My whole motto(座右銘)was start small, think big, and have fun, saysMacDonald, 26, I really kept my effort on the creative side rather than the business side.Yet as odd as MacDonald exchan

23、ge was, barter is now big business on the Net. This year more than 400,000 companies worldwide will exchange some $10 billion worth of goods and services on a growing number of barter sites. These Websites allow companies to trade products for a virtual currency, which they can use to buy goods from

24、 other members. In Iceland, garment-maker Kapusalan sells a thirdof its outputon the booming Vidskiptanetid exchange, earning virtual money that it uses to buy machinery and pay part of employee salaries. The Troc-Services exchange in France offers more than 4,600 services, from math lessons to iron

25、ing.This is not a primitive barter system. By creating currencies, the Internet removes a major barrier-what Bob Meyer, publisher of BarterNews, calls the double coincidence of wants. That is, two parties once not only had to find each other, but also an exchange of goods that both desired. Now, the

26、y can price the deal in virtual currency.Barter also helps firms make use of idle capacity. For example, advertising is hugely barteredbecause many media, particularly on the Web can supply new ad space at little cost. Moreover, Internet ads dont register in industry-growth statistics, because many

27、exchanges are arranged outside the formal exchanges.Like eBay, most barter sites allow memebers to grade trading partners for honestryquality andso on. Barter exchanges can allow firms in countries with hyperinflation or nontradable currencies to enter global trades. Next year, a nonprofit exchange

28、called Quick Lift Two(QL2) plans to open in Nairobi, offering barter deals to 38,000 Kenyan farmers in remote areas. Two small planes will deliver the goods. QL2 director Gacci Waciuma says the farmers are excited to be liberated from corrupt middlemen. For them, barter evokes a bright future, not a

29、 precapitalist past.The wordtechies(Line 4, Para1) probably refers to those who are.afraid of technologyskilled in technologyignorant of technologyincompetent in technologyMany people may have deliberately helped Kyle because they.were impressed by his creativitywere eager to identify with his motto

32、 trade and exchange.It is intended to evaluate the performance of trading partners.nextQuestion 46 to 50 are based on the following passageThe lives of very few Newark residents are untouched by violence: New Jerseys biggest city has seen it all. Yet the murder of three young people, who were forced

33、 to kneel before being shot in theback of the head in a school playground on August 4th, has shaken the city. A fourth, who survived, was stabbed and shot in the face. The four victims were by all accounts good kids, all enrolled in college, all with a future. But the cruel murder, it seems, has at

34、last forced Newarker to say they have had enough.Grassroots organizations, like Stop Shootin, have been flooded with offers of help and support since the killings. Yusef Ismail, its co-founder,says the group has been going door-to-door asking people to sign a pledge of non-violence. They hope to get

35、 50,000 to promise to stop shootin, start thinkin, and keep livin. The Newark Community Foundation, which was launched last month, announced on August 14th that it will help pay for Community Eye, a surveillance(監(jiān)視)system tailored towards gun crime.Cory Booker who became mayor 13 months ago with a m

36、ission to revitalize the city, believes the surveillance program will be the largest camera and audio network in any American city. More than 30 cameras were installed earlier this summer and a further 50 will be installed soon in a seven-square mile area where 80% of the citys recent shootings have

37、 occured. And morecameras are planned.When a gunshot is detected, the surveillance camera zooms in on that spot. Similar technology in Chicago has increased arrests and decreased shootings. Mr. Booker plans to announce a comprehensive gun strategy later this week.Mr. Booker, as well as church leader

38、s and others, believes(or hopes) that after the murder the city will no longer stand by in coldness. For generations, Newark has been paralyzed by poverty-almost one in three people lives below the poverty line-and growing indifference to crime.Some are skeptical. Steven Malanga of the conservative

39、Manhattan Institute notes that Newarkhasdeep social peoblems:over 60% of children are in homes without fathers. The school system, taken over by the state in 1995, is a mess. But there is aslo some cause for hope. Since Mr. Booker was elected, there has been a rise in investment and re-zoning for de

40、velopment. Only around 7%of nearby Newark airport workers used to come from Newark; now, a year, the figure is 30%. Mr. Booker has launched a NewYork-style war on crime. So far this year, crime has fallen 11% and shootings are dowm 30%(through the murder rate looks likely to match last years high).W

44、ionships, 36 percent of people are keeping a bank account from their partner. While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship, in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women are realizing they nee

45、d to be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a relationship.The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when children are involved. The lack of permanency in relationships,job and family life may be the causeof a growing trend to kee

46、p a secret bank account hidden from a partner, in other words, an “escape fund.Margaret s story is far from unique. She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every month on pay day, she banks hundreds of dollars

47、into a savings account she keeps from her husband. She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible $100,000 on top of her pension.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings he d hurt and would interpret thisas a sign she wasn t

48、 sure of the marriage.He d think it was my escape fun so that financially Icould afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong. I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is, but you can never be sure.”Like many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was stung in a

49、former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own money.I decidedreassuredComing clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad. Taken Colleen for example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner. to open a savings ac

I wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day.”“When John found out about my secret savings, he was a little suspicious of my motives. I him this was certainly not an escape fund that I feel very secur

51、e in our relationship. I have to admit that it does feel good to have my own money on reserve if ever there are rainy days in the future. It sensible to build and protect your personal financial security.”The trend to keep a secret bank account is growing because.A. ”escape fund helps one through ra

54、this passage?A. Secret SaversB. Love Is What It s WorthC. Banking HonestyD. Once Bitten, Twice ShyQuestion 56 to 60 are based on the following passage“The word protection is no longer taboo（ 禁忌語）”.This short sentence, uttered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy last month, may have launched a new er

55、a in economic history. Why? For decades, Western leaders have believed that lowering trade barriers and tariffs was natural goods. Doing so, they reasoned, would lead to greater economic efficiency and productivity,which in turn would improve humanwelfare. Championing free trade thus became a moral,

56、 not just an economic, cause.These leaders, of course, weren t acting out ofunselfishness. They knew their economies werethe most competitive, so they d profit most from liberalization. And developing countries feared that their economies would be swamped by superior Western productivity. Today, how

57、ever, the tables have turned though few acknowledge it. The Western continues to preach free trade, but practices it less and less. Asia, meanwhile, continues to plead for special protection but practices more and more free trade.ally injected some honesty into the tradeThat s why Sarkozy s words we

58、re so important: he findebates. The truth is that large parts of the West are losing faith in free trade, though few leadersadmit it. Some economists are more honest. Paul Krugman is one of the few willing to acknowledge thatprotectionist arguments are returning. In the short run, there will be winn

59、ers and losers under freetrade. This, of course, is what capitalism is all about. But more and more of these losers will be inthe West, economists in the developed world used to love quoting Joseph Schumpeter, who said thatacreative destruction“ was an essential part of capitalist growth. But they a

60、lways assumed thatdestruction would happen over there. When Western workers began losing jobs, suddenly their leaders began to lose faith in th eir principles. Things have yet to reverse completely. But there s clearly a negative trend in a Western theory and practice.A little hypocrisy is not in it
