The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Text 1W: You waited at the newly opened restaurant yesterday, didn’t you? Was there much of a wait to be seated?M: I wish I had brought a book or something to occupy my time.Question: What does the man mean about the newly opened restaurant?Text 2W: Don’t you have your apartment key?M: No, but it’s a good thing I leave a spare with my neighbor so I can get in and get my books. Question: What will the man most probably do next?Text 3M: I don’t think we have enough information for our financial plan, but it’s due tomorrow.W: So we will just have to make do with what we have got.Question: What does the woman suggest they do?Text 4W: You’ve taken one of Dr. Parker’s tests, haven’t you? I hear they’re impossible to pass.M: I don’t know who you’ve been talking to. My experience was just the opposite.Question: What does the man imply?Text 5M: I’m really happy I got that athletic scholarship, but I wish my parents would stop showing off.W: If you ask me, I think you deserve a little bit of recognition.Question: What does the woman mean?Text 6M: What sort of grade did you get on your research paper? I know how hard you worked on it.W: But the professor said that I made too many broad claims that weren’t supported enough. Question: What does the woman mean about her research paper?Text 7M: Mary, do you think the dish needs any more salt before I serve it?W: It’s really quite nice. Why take a chance of ruining it?Question: What does the woman advise the man to do?Text 8M: Would you mind asking Julia to give me a call? I was hoping she’d be able to help out with course registration next week.W: Sure, if I see her. She’s made herself pretty scarce lately.Question: What does the woman mean?Text 9M: I just got this car, and already it’s falling apart. First, one of the door handles fell off, and now the inside light won’t go on.W: Hey, what’s the big deal? Falling apart is when your car needs a new engine like mine does. Question: What does the woman mean about the man’s car?Text 10W: I am thinking about spending my spring breaks skiing at central mountains. You were there last year. How was it?M: To be completely honest? That left a lot to be desired.Question: What does the man imply?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Old people used to say it’s not what you want in this world, but what you get. Psychology teaches that you do get what you want. If you know what you want and want the right things, you can make a mentalblueprint (蓝图) of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house. For example, if we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list. And such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served. Likewise (同样地), if you want to find a job, write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services. This account of yourself is actually a picture of your working life and should include education, experience and references. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something concrete to sell, then you are ready to hunt for a job.Now, listen again.11. What do the old mean when they say it’s not what you want in this world, but what you get?12. What is the point of making a mental blueprint of a desire?13. According to the passage, why must one write in account of himself before starting to find a job? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Once a business has successfully introduced a new process. The parent organization (母体组织) naturally wants to repeat that success. The goal then is to use existing knowledge. It’s less attractive, but it actually happens more often. However, getting things right the second time is not necessarily any simpler than it was the first time. It seems that most large industries are trying to repeat their previous successes, but most of the attempts fail.So why do so few managers get things right the second time? Let’s consider one reason for failure. Placing too much trust in the people who are running the successful operation. Managers who want to apply existing knowledge typically start off by going to an expert. This approach can be used if you want to gain a rough understanding of a particular system or understand smaller isolated problems. The trouble is even the expert doesn’t fully grasp the whole thing. When it comes to complex systems, the expert never has complete access to all the necessary information. And the situation is complicated even further by the fact that experts are usually not aware of their own ignorance. For instance, some details may be difficult to describe, learned on the job and well known by workers, perhaps, but impossible to describe in a way that’s helpful. And there are some things that people know or do that they’re not even aware of. Now, listen again.14. According to the speaker, how do attempts to copy existing processes usually end up?15. What does the speaker say about asking experts for advice?16. Which of the following is a problem with experts?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Welcome. We’re delighted you’re coming to work with us, Justin. Your first job here will be an assistant journalist. Do you have any questions?M: Can I go out on a story immediately?W: That’s admirable, but I’m afraid it would be unusual. Wait till you’re more experienced. First, we’ll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist. Later, you can cover a story and present the article yourself.M: Wonderful. What do I need to take with me? I already have a notebook and a camera.W: No need for a camera. You’ll have a professional photographer with you. You may be able to concentrate on photography later if you’re interested.M: What do I need to remember? When I go out to cover a story?W: You need to be curious only if you ask many different questions. Will you acquire all the information you need to know? We say a good journalist must have a good nose for a story. That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it. They must useresearch to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story.M: What should I keep in mind?W: Here comes my list of dos and don’ts. Don’t miss your deadline. Don’t be rude. Don’t talk too much, but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.M: Why is listening so important?W: Well, you have to listen for detailed facts. Meanwhile, you have to prepare the next question, depending on what the person says.M: But how can I listen carefully while taking notes?W: This is a trick of the trade. If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts straight. It’s also useful if a person wants to challenge you, you have the evidence to support your story.M: I see. I am looking forward to my first assignment now.Now listen again.17. What job is Justin trying to take up?18. What does a good nose mean for journalists?19. What will happen if journalists don’t listen carefully?20. Why are facts so critical to professional journalists?That’s the end of listening comprehension.听力试运转到此结束。

After each passage orconversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions11 through 13 are based on the following passage.With the fascinating (迷人的) past and more than 4 centuries of history, St. Augustine is one the nation’s oldest cities and an American treasure. Located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, it is home to many fine examples of European architecture and wild scenic views.In 1513, while looking for the storied fountain of youth, an explorer found this land and called it Le Florida and claimed it for Spain. Then, in 1565, a Spanish conqueror established a settlement there, and named it St. Augustine. Except for a twenty-year period of English rule, Florida remained under Spanish rule until the United States took control in 1821.In the years after its founding, the city of St. Augustine was attacked by the French and English, and by native Americans, who are said to have shot flaming arrows at the city’s defensive building, setting it on fire.More recently, nature has stricken the region with hurricanes, Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017. Still, St. Augustine injures. As the region recovers, visitors shouldn’t overlook it. St. Augustine has suffered much in its long history. Hopefully, visitors will come and perhaps support the Florida coast recovery while discovering its centuries of history and miles of coastal beauty.11. Which country first governed Florida in history?12. Which of the following statements is true of St. Augustine?13. What is the passage mainly about?Questions14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Transport for London has a lost property office, which collects the items left behind as people flow through the city’s transport system each day.It is the biggest lost property office in Europe, beaten globally only by Tokyo’s. 65 staffs sort through hundreds of thousands of lost and forgotten items each at the office, which is run by Paul Cohen. According to the latest data, Cohen’s team dealt with over three hundred thousand items in the first quarter of the year.As the data reveals, very few are claimed. For example, of the nearly thirteen thousand keys handed in to lost property last year, just under one thousand four hundred were returned to their owners, says Cohen. Overall, twenty percent of stock is claimed within three months. After that time, stock becomes the property of Transport for London, and it’s not necessarily the items you’d expect.Wander through the three basement floors that make up the lost property office gives us an idea of what we value enough to recover and what we’re happy to let go. Cohen has discovered something interesting about the complexity of lost shoes. He said, “If you have one shoe, you are more likely to go looking for the other. If you lose two shoes, well, it’s slightly out of sight and out of mind.” He guesses many people regard loss as an opportunity to treat themselves to something new.14: What is the passage mainly about?15: Which of the following is true of the lost items?16: According to Cohen, why don’t some people get their lost shoes back?Questions17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: I have a good feeling about this house.M: If you like the outside, you are going to really love the inside.W: What a beautiful home and I like the way the window screen gives you privacy from the street.M: Follow me into the kitchen, you will love it.W: Wow, they put a wine storage area in the kitchen. I love it!M: The best part is the bedroom and the attached bathroom.W: I love the relaxing colors of the wall and floor covering. I’d like to make an offer on this house.M: As your house agent, I’m here to take care of this process. How much will you plan for the offering? W: I really like the house and I will pay the full asking price of three hundred and eighty thousand dollars. M: We’d better leave ourselves some bargaining room. Let’s offer three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.W: That sounds good, but I don’t want this house to get away from me.M: The marketer is fairly down right now, so the offer is a realistic one.W: When will we know if they accept the offer?M: The owners usually respond to an offer within a few days.W: Should I be contacting my bank in the meantime?M: You are already pre-qualified for your loan, so you’re in good shape.17. What is the woman most probably doing?18. What does the woman like best in the kitchen?19. What does the woman think of the man’s offer on the house at first?20. Which of the following is true according to the passage?。

Located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, i t is home to many fine examples of European architecture and wild scenic views. In 1513, while looking for the storied fountain of youth, an explorer found this land and called itLa Florida, and claimed it for Spain, then in 1565, a Spanish conquer established a settlement there and named it St. Augustine, except fora twenty year period of English rule. Floridaremained under Spanish ruleuntil the United States took control in 1821. Inthe years after its founding, the city of St. Augustinewas attacked by the French and English and by native Americans, you are said to have shot flaming arrowsat the city's defensive building, setting it on fire. More recently, nature has stricken the regionwith hurricanes, Matthew on 2016 and Irma in 2017. Still.St Augustine endures.As the region recovers, visitors shouldn't overlook it.

Overall, twenty percent of stock is claimed within three month.After that time, stock becomes the propertyof transport forLondon. Andit's not necessarilytheitems you'd expect. A wander through the three basement floors that make up the lostproperty office gives us an idea of whatwevalue enough to recover and what we're happyto let go. Cowan has discovered something interesting about the complexity of lostshoes. He said, if you have oneshoe, youare more likely to go looking forthe other.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.A comprehensive study of 4, 500 children conducted by the National Institutes of Health in 2018 shows that children who spent more than seven hours a day staring at screens showed evidence of premature thinning of their brain's cortex-the outer layer that processes sensory information. “We don't know if it ___21___ (cause) by the screen time. We don't know yet if it's bad thing. It won't be until we follow them over time ___22___ we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we're seeing in this single snapshot,” Dr. Gaya Dowling. “What we can say is that this is ___23___ the brains look like of kids who spend a lot of time on screens. And it's not just one pattern.”The problem isn't just screens ___24___, but also the way screens tempt kids (and adults) away from something far more important: physical activity. More than 23 percent of adults and 80 percent of adolescents don't get enough physical activity, and according to a 2019 report from the World Health Organization. (WHO), these patterns of activity and rest arise ___25___ habits we develop early in life, “What we really need to do is ___26___ (bring) back play for children,” says Dr. Juana Williamson, a WHO specialist in childhood obesity and physical activity, in a statement about new WHO guidelines issued in April 2019. This is about making the shift from sedentary time to playtime, while ___27___ (protect) sleep. Of course, children aren’t completely to bla me for their screen addiction.Sometimes, the parents ___28___ complain about the role of screens in family life are just as guilty of spending too much time in front of one. A 2016 study ___29___ (conduct) by Common Sense Media found that parents spend up to nine hours a day in front of screens, mostly not for work-related reasons. While 78 percent of parents said they believed they were good screen time role models, the study found a disconnect between their behavior and their perception of their behavior. Parents need to limit screen time for themselves and especially for their kids- ___30___ it means playing the bad guy. Our mental and physical health depends on it.21. _________ 22. ________ 23. _______ 24. _________ 25. _________ 26. _________ 27. _________ 28. _________ 29. _________ 30. _________ Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. committedB. comparedC. contactD. delegationE. destructiveF. weakG. negotiateH. respelledI. similarity J. superiors K. witnessedSome Very “American” Words Come from ChineseOn a recent program, we told you the stories of English words borrowed from other languages. Today, we will tell you about words that English has taken from Chinese.Many of the Chinese words that are now part of English were borrowed long ago. They are most often from Cantonese or other Chinese languages rather than Mandarin.Let’s start with kowtow.kowtowThe English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems ___31___. It comes from the Cantonese word kau tau, which means “knock your head.” It refers to the act of kneeling and lowering one's head as a sign of respect to ___32___— such as emperors, elders and leaders. In the case of emperors, the act required the person to touch their head to the ground. In 1793, Britain's King George III sent Lord George Macartney and other trade ambassadors to China to ___33___ a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to kowtow to the Qianlong Emperor. As the story goes, Lord Macartney refused for his ___34___ to do more than bend their knees. He said that was all they were required to do for their own king.It is not surprising, then, that Macartney left China without negotiating the trade agreement. After that, critics used the word kowtow when anyone was too submissive to China. Today, the usage has no connection to China, nor any specific political connection.gung-hoAnother borrowed word that came about through ___35___ between two nations is gung-ho. In English, the word gung-ho is an adjective that means extremely excited about doing something. The Chinese characters “gōng” and “hé” together mean “work together, cooperate.” The original term — gõngyèhézuòshè— means Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. The organizations were established in the 1930s by Westerners in China to promote industrial and economic development.Lt. Colonel Evans Carlson of the United States Marine3 Corps4 observed these cooperatives while he was in China. He was impressed, saying “.... all the soldiers ___36___ themselves to one idea and worked together to put that idea over.” He then began using the term gung-ho in the Marine Corps to try to create the same spirit he had ___37___. In 1942, he used the word as a training slogan for the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion during World War II. The men were often called the “Gung Ho Battalion.” From then, the word gung-ho spread as a slogan the Marine Corps. Today, its meaning has no relation to the military.typhoonIn English, a typhoon is a very powerful and ___38___ storm that occurs around the China Sea and in the South Pacific. The word history of typhoon had a far less direct path to the English language than gung-ho. And not all historical accounts are the same. But, according to the Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were in India and were c alled “touffons” or “tufans,” The word tufan or al-tufan isArabic and means violent storm or flood. The English came across this word in India and borrowed it as touffon.Later, when English ships encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese word tai fung, which means “great wind.” The word's ___39___ to touffon is only by chance. The modern form of the word —typhoon —was influenced by the Cantonese but ___40___ to make it appear more Greek.31. _________ 32. ________ 33. _______ 34. _________ 35. _________ 36. _________ 37. _________ 38. _________ 39. _________ 40. _________III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context .When 17-year-old Quattro Musser hangs out with friends, they don't drink beer or cruise around in cars with their dates. ___41___, they stick to G-rated activities such as rock-climbing or talking about books.They are in good company, according to a new study showing that teenagers are increasingly delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passage into ___42___.The study, published Tuesday in the journal Child Development, found that the percentage of adolescents in the U. S. who have a driver's license, who have tried alcohol, who date, and who work for pay has plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous ___43___ in the past decade. The declines appeared across race, geographic, and socioeconomic lines, and in rural, urban, and suburban areas.To be sure, more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the ___44___ have slimmed considerably, Between 1976 and 1979, 86 percent of high school seniors had gone on a date; between 2010 and 2015 only 63 percent People say, Oh, it's because teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring, “but they're ___45___ the larger trend,” said Jean Twenge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans. Rather, she said, kids may be less ___46___ in activities such as dating, driving or getting jobs because in today' s society.According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a person's “life strategy” slo ws down or speeds up depending on his or her ___47___, exposure to a “harsh and unpredictable” environment leads to faster development, while a more resource-rich and secure environment has the ___48___ effect, the study said. In the first ___49___, “You'd have a lot of kids and be in survival mode, start having kids young, expect your kids will have kids young, and expect that there will be more ___50___ and fewer resources,” said Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who is the auth or of “iGen; Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy —and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood.A century ago, when life expectancy was lower and college education less prevalent, “the goal back then was survival, not violin lessons by 5,” Twenge said. In that model a teenage boy might be thinking more ___51___ about marriage, and driving a car and working for pay would be important for “establishing mate value based on procurement of resources,” the study said.But America is shifting more toward the ___52___ model, and the change is apparent acrossthe socioeconomic spectrum, Twenge said. “Even in families whose parents didn't have a college education... families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully ___53___ has really sunk in.” The ___54___ of “adult activities” could not be attributed to more homework or extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurricular as they did in the 1990s ( with the exception of community service, which has risen slightly). Nor could the use of smartphones and the Internet be entirely the ___55___, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely available. If the delay is to make room for creative exploration and forming better social and emotional connections, it is a good thing, he said.（）41. A. Therefore B. Rather C. Moreover D. Besides（）42.

A. implement B. postponementC. achievementD. payment（）55. A. cause B. impact C. fact D. resultSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Bitcoin and other so called crypt currencies have been all over the news lately. Apparently, the idea of money that's not tied to a specific bank — or a specific country — is appealing to many. But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that: A modern invention. Not so long ago, money was almost always created and used locally, and bartering was common. (In fact, it still is common among many online local networks, like the Buy Nothing Project.).In the past, money's makeup varied from place to place, depending on what was considered valuable there. So while some of the world's first coins were made from a naturally occurring hybrid of gold and silver called electrum, objects other than coins have served as currency, including beads, ivory, livestock, and cowrie shells. In West Africa, bracelets of bronze or copper were used as cash, especially if the transaction was associated with the slave trade there.Throughout the colonial period, tobacco was used in lieu of coins or paper bills in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, even though it was used elsewhere in the colonies and extensively throughout Europe and the U.K.Today, on an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency — and some people there are even hoarding it, just like Bitcoin moguls, convinced that one day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination. On Malaita, the most- populated island that’s part of the Solomon Islands, shells are accepted at most places in “How much tuna you can get for your shells depends on their color and shape,” Mary Bruno, a shop owner from the small town of Auki, on Malaita, told Vice. “One strip of darker shells might get you about two cans of smaller tuna, but the red ones are worth more, For the red ones, one strip might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time.Just like a mint that creates coins, there' s only one place on the island where the shells, which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made. (You can see how that works in the video above.) The strips of red, white, and black shells all come from Langa Langa Lagoon, where artificial islands were long-ago built by locals to escape from the island-dwelling cannibals. Once marooned out on their islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was born.Using shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 1900s, but Malaita is unique in that they are still used today. And just like crypto currencies, there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades. It might seem strange to hoard a bunch of processed, strung-together shells, but what is a pile of dollars? Just a specially printed piece of paper and hemp that we've assigned value to — and probably less durable over time than those shells.（）56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Money was created and was widely used in the world.B. Tobacco was used as coins or paper bills in American in the past.C. The ingredients of world's first coins may be the combination of gold and silver.D. Using shells for money has been out of date in the world.（）57. The word “mint” in paragraph 4 is closest in the meaning to“_______________”.A. a kind of money that can exchangeB. the leaves of a mint plant used fresh or candiedC. a place to produce and polish shellsD. a factory that produces currency（）58. What's opinion of the author towards shells for money?A. Reasonable.B. Imaginary.C. Convenient.D. Inventive.（）59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The History of BitcoinB. Shells Still MoneyC. The Currency Is of Great UseD. Some Shells(B)How Do You Move a Giant Sequoia?The logistics of excavating（挖掘）and relocating town’s century-old, living sequoia(红杉) tree. Inhabitants of Boise, Idaho, watched with trepidation earlier this year as the city's oldest, tallest resident moved two blocks. The 105-year-old sequoia tree serves as a local landmark, not only for its longevity but also because renowned naturalist and Sierra Club cofounder John Muir provided the original seedling. So, when Saint Luke's Health System found that the 10-story-tall-conifer( 针叶树) stood in the way of its planned hospital called tree-moving firm Environmental Design.The Texas-based company has developed and patented scooping and lifting technology to move massive trees. Weighing in at more than 800, 000 pounds, the Boise sequoia is its largest undertaking yet. “I [had] lost enough sleep over this,” says David Cox, the company's Western region vice president — and that was before the hospital mentioned the tree's distinguished origin. Before the heavy lifting began, the team assessed the root system and dug a five-foot-deep cylinder , measuring 40 feet in diameter, around the trunk to protect all essential roots. After encapsulating the root ball in wire mesh, the movers allowed the tree to acclimate to its new situation for seven months before relocating it. The illustration details what followed. —Leslie Nemo1. Mark A. Merit and his team at Environmental Design installed underneath the root ball a platform of seven-inch-diameter,44-foot-long steelbars and, just below the rods, a first set of uninflated airbags ( shown in gray).The team also dug a shallow ramp.2. In roughly 15 minutes, the movers inflated the airbags to about three feet in diameter to raise the root ball to the surface of the hole.3. By underinflating the front bags, the team allowed the platform carrying the tree to roll up the ramp and out of the hole while staying level, A trailer hauled the tree along as team members removed the airbags from the back of the platform and replaced them in the front. They repeated the process until the tree arrived at the edge of its new home.4. There a second set of partially inflated bags (shown in white) waited inside the hole. Soil surrounding the sequoia in its original location was relocated as well, because trees are more likely to survive a transplant when they move with their original soil.5.

They will be managed by specialists in the next five years.(C)Understand the Economic Concept of a Budget LineThe term “budget line” has several related meanings, including a couple that are self-evident and a third that is not.The budget line as an Informal Consumer UnderstandingThe budget line is an elementary concept that most consumers understand intuitively without a need for graphs and equations — it's the household budget, for example.Taken informally, the budget line describes the boundary of affordability for a given budget and specific goods.Given a limited amount of money, a consumer can only spend that same amount buying goods. If the consumer has X amount of money and wants to buy two goods A and B, she can only purchase goods totaling X. If the consumer needs an amount of A costing 0.75, she can then spend only 0.25 X, the amount remaining, on her purchase of B.This seems almost too obvious to bother writing or reading about. As it turns out, however, this same concept-one that most consumers make many times each day with reflecting on it-is the basis of the more formal budget line concept in economics , which is explained below.Lines in a BudgetBefore turning to the economics definition of budget line, consider another concept: the line-item budget. This is effectively a map of future expenditures, with all the constituent expenditures individually noted and quantified. There' s nothing very complicated about this usage, a budget line is one of the lines in the budget, with the service or good to be purchased named and the cost quantified,The Budget Line as an Economics ConceptOne of the interesting ways the study of economics relates to human behavior generally is that a lot of economic theory is the formalization of the kind of simple concept outlined above —a consumer's informal understanding of the amount she has to spend and what that amount will buy.In the process of formalization, the concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation that can be applied generally.A Simple Budget Line GraphTo understand this, think of a graph where the vertical lines quantify how many movie tickets. you can buy and where the horizontal lines do the same for crime novels. You like going to the movies and reading crime novels and you have $ 150 to spend, In the example below, assume that each movie costs $10 and each crime novel costs $15. The more formal economics term for these two items is budget set.If movies cost $ 10 each, then the maximum number of movies you can see with the money available is 15. To note this you make a dot at the number 15 (for total movie tickets) at the extreme left-hand side of the chart. This same dot appears at the extreme left above “0” on the horizontal axis because you have no money left for books — the number of books available in this example is 0. You can also graph the other extreme —all crime novels and no movies. Since crime novels in the example cost $15 and you have $150 available, if you spend all the available money crime novels, you can buy 10. So you put a dot on the horizontal axis at the number 10.You'll place the dot at the bottom of the vertical axis because in this instance you have $0 available for movie tickets.If you now draw a line from the highest, leftmost dot to the lowest, rightmost dot you'll have created a budget line. Any combination of movies and crime novels that falls below the budget line is affordable. Any combination above it is not.（）63. Which sentence about the budget line is NOT TRUE?A. It is limitation of affordability for a given budget and specific goods.B. Most costumers will be confused with this concept because of its complex.C. It is the effectively a map of future expenditures.D. It can be expressed as a mathematical. equation.（）64. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us any concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation.B. To help us figure out the meaning Budget Line.C. To tell us we should budget before we buy goods.D. To give an instruction of drawing a budget Line.（）65. Assume that each movie costs 10 and each crime novel costs, $15, you have $150.Which is RIGHT according to this passage?A. The maximum number of movies you can see is 10.B. The maximum number of crime novels you can buy is 15.C. You can buy 7 crime novels and, see 5 movies.D. You can buy 7 crime novels and see 4 movies.（）66. What is the best title of this passage?A.Do we really know the economic concept of a budget line?B.The Budget Line as an Economics Concept.C.The Budget Line as an Informal Consumer UnderstandingD.The Complex Concept- Budget LineSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The format of magazines enables children to be exposed to a wide variety of wide subjects.B. Magazines and newspapers provide adults with critical news.C. Being exposed to magazines and newspapers benefits you a lot.D. Keep interesting magazine pictures to give children story ideas.E. Magazines are valuable assets for many people, but in particular to children.F. Magazines and newspapers are expensive now but out of styleMagazine Articles More Valuable Than You May ThinkParents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines. Read on to learn about the benefits that reading magazines offers to young readers and how to introduce your children to the medium.Magazine BenefitsMagazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively, breezy writing style that can inspire them to read more.The articles in magazines are generally short, which allows a child to finish reading a feature article without losing interest due to short attention span. The writing in magazines also tends to be easy to read, especially if it is a children's publication.By allowing your child to read magazines at an early age, you are encouraging development of a useful skill. ___67___ Getting into the habit of reading periodicals as a child will foster the habit。

Located on Florida's Atlantic coast,it is home to many fineexamples of European architecture and wild scenic views.In1513,while looking for the storiedfountain of youth,an explorer found this land and called it Le Florida andclaimed it for Spain.Then,in1565, a Spanish conqueror established asettlement there,and named it St.Augustine.Except for a twenty-year period of English rule,Florida remained under Spanish rule until the United Statestook control in1821.In the years after its founding,thecity of St.Augustine was attacked by the French and English,and by nativeAmericans,who are said to have shot flaming arrows at the city's defensivebuilding,setting it on fire.More recently,nature has stricken theregion with hurricanes,Matthew in2016and Irma in 2017.Still,St.Augustineinjures.As the region recovers,visitors shouldn't overlook it.St. Augustinehas suffered much in its long history. Hopefully,visitors will come andperhaps support the Florida coast recovery while discovering its centuries ofhistory and miles of coastal beauty.11.Whichcountry first governed Florida in history?12.Which of thefollowing statements is true of St.Augustine?13.What is thepassage mainly about?Questions14through16are based on the following passage.Transport for London has a lost propertyoffice, which collects the items left behind as people flow through the city'stransport system each day.It is the biggest lost property officein Europe, beaten globally only by Tokyo's.65staffs sort through hundreds ofthousands of lost and forgotten items each at the office,which is run by PaulCohen.According to the latest data, Cohen's team dealt with over three hundredthousand items in the first quarter of the year.As the data reveals,very few areclaimed.For example,of the nearly thirteen thousand keyshanded in to lostproperty last year,just under one thousand four hundred were returned to theirowners,says Cohen.Overall,twenty percent of stock is claimed within threemonths.After that time,stock becomes the property of Transport for London,and it's not necessarily the items you’d expect.Wander through the three basement floorsthat make up the lost property office gives us an idea of what we value enoughto recover and what we're happy to let go.Cohen has discovered somethinginteresting about the complexity of lost shoes.He said,“If you have one shoe,you are more likely to go looking for the other.If you lose two shoes,well,it’s slightly out of sight and out of mind.”He guesses many people regard lossas an opportunity to treat themselves to something new.14:What is thepassage mainly about?15:Which of thefollowing is true of the lost items?16:According toCohen,why don't some people get their lost shoes back?Questions17through20are based on the following conversation.W:I have a goodfeeling about this house.M:If you likethe outside,you are going to really love the inside.W:What abeautiful home and I like the way the window screen gives you privacy from thestreet.M:Follow meinto the kitchen,you will love it.W:Wow,they puta wine storage area in the kitchen.I love it!。

Located on Florida's Atlantic coast, it is home to many fine examples of European architecture and wild scenic views.In 1513, while looking for the storied fountain of youth, an explorer found this land and called it LeFlorida and claimed it for Spain. Then, in 1565, a Spanish conqueror established a settlement there, and named it St. Augustine. Except for a twenty-year period of English rule, Florida remained under Spanish rule until the United States took control in 1821.In the years after its founding, the city of St. Augustine was attacked by the French and English, and by native Americans, who are said to have shot flaming arrows at the city's defensive building, setting it onfire.More recently, nature has stricken the region with hurricanes, Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017. Still,St. Augustine injures. As the region recovers, visitors shouldn 't overlook it. St. Augustine has sufferedmuch in its long history. Hopefully, visitors will come and perhaps support the Florida coast recovery while discovering its centuries of history and miles of coastal beauty.11. Which country first governed Florida in history?12. Which of the following statements is true of St. Augustine?13. What is the passage mainly about?Questions14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Transport for London has a lost property office, which collects the items left behind as people flowthrough the city's transport system each day.It is the biggest lost property office in Europe, beaten globally only by Tokyo 's. 65 staffs sort through hundreds of thousands of lost and forgotten items each at the office, which is run by Paul Cohen. Accordingto the latest data, Cohen's team dealt with over three hundred thousand items in the first quarter of theyear.As the data reveals, very few are claimed. For example, of the nearly thirteen thousand keys handed into lost property last year, just under one thousand four hundred were returned to their owners, says Cohen. Overall, twenty percent of stock is claimed within three months. After that time, stock becomes the propertyof Transport for London, and it's not necessarily the items yo'ud expect.Wander through the three basement floors that make up the lost property office gives us an idea of what we value enough to recover and what we're happy to let go. Cohen has discovered something interesting about the complexity of lost shoes. He said, “ If y yoouu h aarvee m oonree slihkoeely, to goHe looking for the other. If you lose two shoes, well, it ' s slightly out of sight and out of mind. ”many people regard loss as an opportunity to treat themselves to something new.14: What is the passage mainly about?15: Which of the following is true of the lost items?16: According to Cohen, why don't some people get their lost shoes back?Questions17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: I have a good feeling about this house.M: If you like the outside, you are going to really love the inside.W: What a beautiful home and I like the way the window screen gives you privacy from the street.M: Follow me into the kitchen, you will love it.W: Wow, they put a wine storage area in the kitchen. I love it!M: The best part is the bedroom and the attached bathroom.W: I love the relaxing colors of the wall and floor covering. I 'd like to make an offer on this house.M: As your house agent, I'm here to take care of this process. How much will you plan for the offering? W: I really like the house and I will pay the full asking price of three hundred and eighty thousand dollars. M:We'd better leave ourselves some bargaining room. Let's offer three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. W: That sounds good, but I don't want this house to get away from me.M: The marketer is fairly down right now, so the offer is a realistic one.W: When will we know if they accept the offer?M: The owners usually respond to an offer within a few days.W: Should I be contacting my bank in the meantime?M: You are already pre-qualified for your loan, so you're in good shape.17. What is the woman most probably doing?18. What does the woman like best in the kitchen?19. What does the woman think of the man's offer on the house at first?20.

’s defensive building, setting it on fire. More recently, nature has stricken the region with hurricanes, Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017. Still, St. Augustine injures. As the region recovers, visitors shouldn
