exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones Then the barter system was replaced by coins,which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal Coins were followed by fiat money,paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept themToday electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms,reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes” ,or units of computerizedinformation,going between machines at the speed of light Already,electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks,companies,and countries through computers and telecommunications devices1 Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the

Students may borrow up to$4,500annually from a bank,credit union,savings and loan association or other eligible lender.Repayment on these loans usually begins six months after the student leaves school.These loans carry no interest until this time.This current interest rate is9percent.Parents may borrow up to$300annually for each dependent college.Repayment begins forty-five days after receiving the loan,and the interest rate is 12percent.官方网址: 61.Which of the following is the main purpose?To remind students and their families to repay their loan.To compare interest rates.To inform students and parents of the various loans available.To show that government loans charge the least interest.62.The highest interest rate is charged to_______.A.full-time studentsB.parentsC.students borrowing from a credit unionD.half-time students63.If parents had three children in college how much could they borrow annually?A.900B.3,000C.300D.9,00064.According to the passage which of the following is true.The government lends students enrolled at least half time up to3,000annually.

That is why an average woman can’t lift as much,throw as far,or hit as hard as an average man.66.According to the selection,the muscular sense is responsible for______.A.the efficiency of our musclesB.the normal breathing functionC.directing our muscles intelligentlyD.the work of only our involuntary muscles67.Intelligent use of the muscles means that________.one always knows what his muscles are doingone performs simple actions whithout workingone’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they performone improves muscular action consciously68.Muscles are unique fibers because,they can________.官方网址:A.contractB.stretchC.retractD.do all of the above69.Under a microscope,muscle cells appear to be_______.A.textured like woodB.colored like woodC.smooth and redD.short and thick70.According to the selection more than half of a person’s body is composed of ______.A.voluntary musclesB.involuntary musclesC.muscle fibersD.sensory nervesPassage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages,the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French,and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms.The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings,Lewes,and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use.Their places have been taken by later borrowings,often like wise from French,many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century.Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy,of peace, enemy,battle,soldier,guard and spy,and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant.Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea.In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side.Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language;but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71.The main idea of this passage is that______.most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or later官方网址:a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of Englandmany French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the languagemany military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French,some as early as the Middle Ages72.All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that_______.war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Agesthe English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceFrance invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in Englandmuch of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France73.The art of war has undergone such changes that_______.we no longer use any French words of the Middle Agesmany words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsFrench military terms have disappeared from the English languagemany words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words74.Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A.sergeantB.battleC.spyD.fight75.The writer takes the words“battle”and“fight”as an example to show______.官方网址: French words are needed to express something newa French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side French word or the other has been lost from the English language“battle”is the borrowed word and“fight”is the native onePassage Four“Fingers were made before forks”when a person gives up good manners,puts aside knife and fork,and dives into his food,someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool,but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century,when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy,did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers,“Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.”English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies,and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.76.The custom of eating with a fork was_______.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were inventedC.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians77.By the fifteenth century forks were used_______.A.all over ItalyB.only in ConstantinopleC.widely in EuropeD.In England官方网址:78.To English travellers in Italy,the use of forks seemed_______.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous79.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to________.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food cleanC.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English80.In England,people who used forks at that time were considered______.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and CⅤ.Writing(20points)Directions:For this part,you are allowed20minutes to write a short composition of about80words on the
