A. inspiration B. expectation C. stimulation D. perspectiveSection Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionPassage OneTo paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, "all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything **es from of is tested in animals--no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if **e from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, "Then I would have to say yes." Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, "Don't worry, scientists will find some way of **puters." Such well-meaning people just don't understand.Scientists **municate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way--in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother's hip replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.Much can be done. Scientists could "adopt" middle school classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformationgo unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health **munity should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.41. The author begins his article with Edmund Burke's words to ______.A. call on scientists to take some actionsB. criticize the misguided cause of animal rightsC. warn of the doom of biomedical researchD. show the triumph of the animal rights movement42. Misled people tend to think that using an animal in research is ______.A. cruel but naturalB. inhuman and unacceptableC. inevitable but viciousD. pointless and wasteful43. The example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show the public's ______.A. discontent with animal researchB. ignorance about medical scienceC. indifference to epidemicsD. anxiety about animal rights44. The author believes that, in face of the challenge from animal rights advocates, scientists should ______.A. communicate more with the publicB. employ hi-tech means in researchC. feel no shame for their causeD. strive to develop new cures45. From the passage we learn that Stephen Cooper is ______.A. a well-known humanistB. a medical practitionerC. an enthusiast in animal rightsD. a supporter of animal researchPassage TwoMale chauvinism--the attitude that women are the passive and inferior servants of society and of men--sets women apart from the rest of the working class. Even when they do the same work as men, women are not considered workers in the same sense, with the need and right to work to provide for their families or to support themselves independently. They are expected to accept work at lower wages and without job security. Thus they can be used as a marginal or reserve labor force when profits depend on extra low costs or when men are needed for war.Women are not supposed to be independent, so they are not supposed to have any "right to work". This means, in effect, that although they do work, they are denied the right to organize and fight for better wages and conditions. Thus the role of women in the labor force undermines the struggles of male workers as well. The boss can break a union drive by threatening to hire lower paid women or blacks. In many cases, where women are organized, the union contract reinforces their inferior position, making women the least loyal and militant union members. (Standard Oilworkers in San Francisco recently paid the price of male supremacy. Women at Standard Oil have the least chance for advancement and decent pay, and the union has done little to fight this. Not surprisingly, women formed the core of the back to work move that eventually broke the strike.) In general, because women are defined as docile, helpless, and inferior, they are forced into the most demeaning and mind rotting jobs--from scrubbing floors to filing cards--under the most oppressive conditions where they are treated like children or slaves. Their very position reinforces the idea, even among the women themselves, that they are fit for and should be satisfied with this kind of work.Apart from the direct, material exploitation of women, male supremacy acts in more subtle ways to undermine class consciousness. The tendency of male workers to think of themselves primarily as men (i.e., powerful) rather than as workers (i. e., members of an oppressed group) promotes a false sense of privilege and power, and an identification with the world of men, including the boss. The petty dictatorship which most men exercise over their wives and families enables them to vent their anger and frustration in a way which poses no challenge to the system. The role of the man in the family reinforces aggressive individualism, authoritarianism, and a hierarchical view of social relations--values which are fundamental to the perpetuation (不朽) of capitalism. In this system we are taught to relieve our fears and frustrations by brutalizing those weaker than we are: a man in uniform turns into a pig; the foreman intimidates the man on the line; the husband beats his wife, child, and dog.46. Unfair working status of women also produces negative effects on men in that ______.A. men face the threat of being replaced by low wage womenB. men have to deal with women's complaints all the timeC. women's low income often irritate their husbandsD. women's inferior working condition worries their husbands47. The failure of the strike of Standard Oil workers shows that ______.A. when women are involved, strikes are bound to failB. passive women involvement in strikes makes success unlikelyC. women are not often firm enough in organized strikesD. most women are loyal and militant members of work unions48. Many women also think they deserve oppressive jobs because ______.A. they are taught by society to believe soB. their husbands do not expect them to have better jobsC. their poor conditions strengthen their mental acceptanceD. they gradually begin to love those jobs they do49. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A. male workers are often treated as men instead of workers in companiesB. males' anger and frustration are posing serious threat to our present systemC. it is quite natural for males to beat their wives, children and dogs for no reasonD. males' dominating role in families eventually helps the stability of capitalist system50. The best title for this passage might be ______.A. Men and Women in CapitalismB. The Effects of Men's Supremacy on WomenC. Dictatorship and Women StrikeD. Women's Role in Work Union SuccessesPassage ThreeIt remains to be seen whether the reserves of raw materials in the year 2000 will be sufficient to supply a world economy which will have grown by five hundred percent. Southeast Asia alone will have an energy consumption five times greater than that of Western Europe in 1970. Incidentally, if the underdeveloped countries started using up petrol at the same rate as the industrialized areas, then world reserves would be exhausted by 1990.All this only goes to show just how important it is to set up a plan to conserve and divide up fairly natural resources on a worldwide scale.This is a matter of life and death because world population is expanding at an incredible rate. By the middle of the next century population will expand every year by as much as it did in the first 1,500 years after Christ. In the southern, poor parts of the globe, the figures are enough to make your hair stand on end. Even supposing that steps are taken to stabilize world population in the next fifty years, the number of inhabitants per square kilometer will increase by from 4 in the United States to 140 in South East Asia. What can we do about it?In the first hypothesis we do nothing. By the year 2000, the southern parts of the world would then have a population greater than the total world population today.Alternately we could start acting right now to bring birth rate under control within fifteen years so that population levels off. Even then the population in the southern areas would not stop growing for seventy-five years. And the population would level off at something like twice today's figure.Finally, we could wait ten to twenty years before taking action. If we wait ten years the population of the southern area would stabilize at 3,000 million. Even today the number of potential workers increases by 350,000 people per week. By the end of the century this figure will reach 750,000; in other words, it will be necessary to find work for 40 million people per year--not to speak of food.What this means in practical terms we can scarcely imagine. But clearly if we do nothing, nature will solve the problem for us. But at what cost!51. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the author?A. A worldwide plan to conserve natural resources should be worked out.B. The energy consumption of the underdeveloped countries will increase greatly.C. The world economy will have greatly grown by the year 2000.D. There will definitely be not enough raw materials in the year 2000.52. The sentence "the figures are enough to make your hair stand on end" (Paragraph 3) probably means ______.A. the figures are too surprised to believeB. the figures seem to be so high that we think them to be unacceptableC. the figures are so big that we may be surprised at themD. it seems that the figures are high enough53. At the end of the passage the author implies that ______.A. naturally, the population problem would be solvedB. nature will punish us in the end if we do nothingC. we can wait until nature solves the problem for usD. we can't imagine how much we'll have to pay to solve the world population problem54. The phrase "level off" (Paragraph 5) probably refers to ______.A. make cutB. make growthC. make balanceD. make the same55. The best title for this passage would be ______.A. Raw Material in the Year 2000B. Problem of Energy ConsumptionC. Worldwide Conservation of ResourcesD. The Pressure of Population GrowthPassage FourOver the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal. But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over Zoe Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Yet a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and 26 of George Bush's predecessors (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chretien and Koizumi). The world's three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world's five richest men (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht).Can this merely be coincidence? One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the lot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions posed by those insensitive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.The humiliation continues. At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get theirawards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.56. What does the author intend to illustrate with AAAA cars and Zodiac cars?A. A kind of overlooked inequality.B. A type of conspicuous bias.C. A type of personal prejudice.D. A kind of brand discrimination.57. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?A. In both East and West, names are essential to success.B. The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoe Zysman.C. Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies' names.D. Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.58. The 4th paragraph suggests that ______.A. questions are often pat to the more intelligent studentsB. alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape from classC. teachers should pay attention to all of their studentsD. students should be seated according to their eyesight59. What does the author mean by "most people are literally having a ZZZ" (Paragraph 5)?A. They are getting impatient.B. They are noisily dozing off.C. They are feeling humiliated.D. They are busy with word puzzles.60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill-treated.B. VIPs in the Western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.C. The campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long way to go.D. Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional bias.Section Ⅳ Translation61. As in most ethical situations, making a true or false promise involves other people. Almost every time we ask "What should I do?" we are aware that other people are involved in our behavior. Why should someone ask himself before making a false promise, "Is it right?" It may be that he is afraid of being found out. He may, however, wonder whether it is fair to the other person. How we relate ourselves to others or how we behavior affects others makes up most of the subject matter of ethics. Being aware of others is more than wondering how our actions will affect them; we are also Concerned about how the behavior of others will affect us. There is no satisfactory way for us to avoid the presence of other people. The most we can do is try to arrange the rules of behavior, of ethics, in order to reduce the amount of friction and conflict and thereby achieve the greatest amount of harmony. Whether our actions are right and good will depend to a great extent on the effect they will have on others. Actions such as telling a falsehood, stealing, injuring, and killing are considered wrong most of the time because they result in varying degrees of harm to someone. They also produce reactions from the victims, who in effect say, "If it is right for you todo that to me, then I will not hesitate to do the same thing to you.\Section Ⅴ Writing62. describe the charts briefly,2) interpret the causes of it, and3) give your point of view.**position should be more than 150 words. You should write **position neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.。

题目:阅读理解Passage 1Many companies see the benefits of using recycled materials: by doing so, they can enhance their green credentials and demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices. However, the process of incorporating recycled materials into products is not always straightforward.Firstly, there is the issue of supply chain management. Companies must ensure a steady and consistent supply of recycled materials to meet their production needs. This often requires establishing partnerships with waste management companies to guarantee a reliable source. Additionally, fluctuations in the availability of recycled materials can impact production schedules and result in delays or increased costs.Secondly, there is the challenge of maintaining product quality. Recycled materials may not be of the same quality as virgin materials, and the use of lower quality materials can affect the performance and durability of the final product. To address this issue, companies must invest in research and development to improve the quality and usability of recycled materials.Lastly, consumer perception is a crucial factor. While many consumers appreciate and support sustainable practices, there is still a stigma associated with products made from recycled materials. Some may perceive them as inferior or less desirable. Companies must invest in marketing and education campaigns to change these perceptions and highlight the benefits of using recycled materials.In conclusion, while incorporating recycled materials into products has its challenges, the benefits outweigh the difficulties. Companies can reduce their environmental impact, meet consumer demands for sustainable products, and enhance their brand reputation. By addressing the issues of supply chain management, product quality, and consumer perception, they can pave the way for a successful and sustainable future.Passage 2The rise of e-commerce has revolutionized the retail industry, offering consumers convenience and access to a wide range of products. However, this shift towards online shopping has also presented challenges for traditional brick-and-mortar retailers.One of the main challenges faced by traditional retailers is the need to adapt to changing consumer behaviors. With the convenience of online shopping, consumers have become accustomed to browsing and purchasing products from the comfort of their own homes. This has led to decreased foot traffic in physical stores, resulting in lower sales and profitability for traditional retailers. To remain competitive, these retailers must find ways to attract customers back to their stores by offering unique in-store experiences or personalized services.Another challenge is the rising costs of maintaining physical stores. Rent, utilities, and staffing expenses can be significant, especially in prime locations. In contrast, e-commerce retailers often operate from centralized warehouses, reducing their overhead costs. Traditional retailers must carefully manage their expenses while finding ways to increase efficiency and streamline operations to remain profitable.Lastly, traditional retailers must embrace technology and integrate it into their operations. Online retailers leverage data analytics and algorithms to personalize recommendations and improve the customer experience. Traditional retailers can adopt similar technologies to gain insights into customer preferences and tailor their offerings accordingly. By embracing technology, they can bridge the gap between online and offline shopping and create a seamless and integrated retail experience.In conclusion, traditional retailers face numerous challenges in the era of e-commerce. However, by adapting to changing consumer behaviors, managing costs effectively, and embracing technology, they can continue to thrive in the retail industry. The key lies in finding a balance between the convenience of online shopping and the personalized experiences that physical stores can offer.通过上述两篇阅读理解文章,我们可以看到在考研MBA联考英语中,出题者通常会涉及到与商业相关的话题。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Working at nonstandard times-evenings, nights, or weekends-is taking its toll on American families. One-fifth of all employed Americans work variable or rotating shifts, and one-third work weekends, according to Harriet B. Presser, sociology professor at the University of Maryland. The result is stress on familial relationships, which is likely to continue in coming decades.The consequences of working irregular hours vary according to gender, economic level, and whether or not children are involved. Single mothers are more likely to work nights and weekends than married mothers. Women in clerical, sales or other low-paying jobs participate disproportionately in working late and graveyard shifts.Married-couple households with children are increasingly becoming dual-earner households, generating more split-shift couples. School-aged children, however, may benefit from parents' nonstandard work schedules because of the greater likelihood that a parent will be home before or after school. On the other hand, a correlation exists between nonstandard work schedules and both marital instability and a decline in the quality of marriages.Nonstandard working hours mean families spend less time together for diner but more time together for breakfast. One-on-one interaction between parents and children varies, however, based on parent, shift, and age of children. There is also a greater reliance on child care by relatives and by professional providers.Working nonstandard hours is less a choice of employees and more a mandate of employer. Presser believes that the need for swing shifts and weekend work will continue to rise in thecoming decades. She reports that in some European countries there are substantial salary premiums for employees working irregular hours-sometimes as much as 50% higher. The convenience of having services available 24 hours a day continues to drive this trend.Unfortunately, says Presser, the issue is virtually absent from public discourse. She emphasizes the need for focused studies on costs and benefits of working odd hours, the physical and emotional health of people working nights and weekends, and the reasons behind the necessity for working these hours. "Nonstandard work schedules not only are highly prevalent among American families but also generate a level of complexity in family functioning that needs greater attention," she says.36. Which of the following demonstrates that working at nonstandard times is taking its toll on American families?A. Stress on familial relationships.B. Rotating shifts.C. Evenings, nights, or weekends.D. Its consequences.37. Which of the following is affected most by working irregular hours?A. Children.B. Marriage.C. Single mothers.D. Working women.38. Who would be in favor of the practice of working nonstandard hours?A. Children.B. Parents.C. EmployeesD. Professional child providers.39. It is implied that the consequences of nonstandard work schedules are .A. emphasizedB. absentC. neglectedD. prevalent40. What is the author's attitude towards working irregular hours?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Objective.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Most human beings actual1y decide before they think. When any human being-executive, specialized expert, or person in the street-encounters a complex issue and forms an opinion, often within a matter of seconds, how thoroughly has he or she explored the implications of the various courses of action? Answer: not very thoroughly. Very few people, no matter how inte1ligent or experienced, can take inventory of the many branching possibilities, possible outcomes, side effects, and undesired consequences of a policy or a course of action in a matter of seconds. Yet, those who pride themse1ves on being decisive often try to do just that. And once their brains lock onto an opinion, most of their thinking thereafter consists of finding support for it.A very serious side effect of argumentative decision making can be a lack of support for the chosen course of action on the pat of the "losing" faction. When one faction wins the meeting and the others see themselves as losing, the battle often doesn't end when the meeting ends. Anger, resentment, and jealousy may lead them to sabotage the decision later, or to reopen the debate at later meetings.There is a better. As philosopher Aldous Huxley said, "It isn't who is right, but what is right, that counts."The structured-inquiry method offers a better alternative to argumentative decision making by debate. With the help of the Internet and wireless computer technology the gap betweenexperts and executives is now being dramatically closed. By actually putting the brakes on the thinking process, slowing it down, and organizing the flow of logic, it's possible to create a level of clarity that sheer argumentation can never match.The structured-inquiry process introduces a level of conceptual clarity by organizing the contributions of the experts, then brings the experts and the decision makers closer together. Although it isn't possible or necessary for a president or prime minister to listen in on every intelligence analysis meeting, it's possible to organize the experts' information to give the decision maker much greater insight as to its meaning. This process may somewhat resemble a marketing focus group; it's a simple, remarkably clever way to bring decision makers closer to the source of the expert information and opinions on which they must base their decisions.4l. From the first paragraph we can learn that .A. executive, specialized expert, are no more clever than person in the streetB. very few people decide before they thinkC. those who pride themselves on being decisive often fail to do soD. people tend to consider carefully before making decisions42. Judging from the context, what does the word "them" (line 4,paragraph 2) refer to?A. Decision makers.B. The "losing" faction.C. Anger, resentment, and jealousy.D. Other people.43. Aldous Huxley's remark (Paragraph 3) implies that .A. there is a subtle difference between right and wrongB. we cannot tell who is right and what is wrongC. what is right is more important than who is rightD. what is right accounts for the question who is right44. According to the author, the function of the structured-inquiry method is .A. to make decision by debateB. to apply the Internet and wireless computer technology.C. to brake on the thinking process, slowing it downD. to create a level of conceptual clarity45. The structured-inquiry process can be useful for .A. decision makersB. intelligence analysis meetingC. the experts' informationD. marketing focus groupsQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Sport is heading for an indissoluble marriage with television and the passive spectator will enjoy a private paradise. All of this will be in the future of sport. The spectator (the television audience) will be the priority and professional clubs will have to readjust their structures to adapt to the new reality: sport as a business.The new technologies will mean that spectators will no longer have to wait for broadcasts by the conventional channels. They will be the ones who decide what to see. And they will have to pay for it. In the United States the system of the future has already started: pay-as-you-view. Everything will be offered by television and the spectator will only have to choose. The review Sports Illustrated recently published a full profile of the life of the supporter at home in the middle of the next century. It explained that the consumers would be able to select their view of the match on a gigantic, flat screen occupying the whole of one wall, with images of a clarity which cannot be foreseen at present; they could watch from the trainer's stands just behind the batter in a game of baseball or from the helmet of the star player in an American football game. And at their disposal will be the sane option s the producer of the recorded programmer has to select replays, to choose which camera to me and to decide on the sound whether to hear the public, the players, the trainer and so on.Many sports executives, largely too old and too conservative to feel at home with the new technologies will believe that sport must control the expansion of television coverage in order tosurvive and ensure that spectators attend matches. They do not even accept the evidence which contradicts their view while there is more basketball than ever on television, for example, it is also certain that basketball is more popular than ever.It is also the argument of these sports executives that television harming the modest team. This is true, but the future of those teams is also modest. They have reached their ceiling. It is the law of the market. The great events continually attract larger audience.The world I being constructed on new technologies so that people can make the utmost use of their time and, in their home have access to the greatest possible range of recreational activities. Sport will have to adapt itself to the new world.The most visionary executives go further. That philosophy is: rather than see television take over sport why not have sports taken over television?46. What does the writer mean by use of the phrase "an indissoluble marriage" in the first paragraph?A. sport is combined with television.B. sport controls television.C. television dictates sports.D. Sport and television will go their own ways47. What does "they" in line 2 paragraph 2 stand for?A. Broadcasts.B. Channels.C. Spectators.D. Technologies.48. How do many sports executives feel with the new technologies?A. they are too old to do anything.B. They feel ill at ease.C. They feel completely at home.D. Technologies can go hand in hand with sports.49. What is going to be discussed in the following paragraphs?A. the philosophy of visionary executives.B. The process of television taking over sport.C. Television coverage expansion.D. An example to show how sport has taken over television.50. What might be the appropriate title of this passage?A. the arguments of sports executives.B. The philosophy of visionary executives.C. Sports and television in the 21st century.D. Sports: a business.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Convenience food helps companies by creating growth, but what is its effect on people? For people who think cooking was the foundation of civilization, the microwave is the last enemy. The communion of eating together is easily broken by a device that liberates household citizens from waiting for mealtimes. The first great revolution in the history of food is in danger of being undone. The companionship of the campfire, cooking pot and common table, which have helped to bond humans in collaborative living for at least 150000 years could be destroyed.Meals have certainly sated from the rise of convenience food. The only meals regularly taken together in Britain these days are at the weekend, among rich families struggling to retain something of the old symbol of togetherness. Indeed, the day's first meal has all but disappeared. In the 20th century the leisure British breakfast was undermined by the corn flake; in the 21st breakfast is vanishing altogether a victim of the quick cup of coffee in Starbucks and the cereal bar.Convenience food has also made people forget how to cook. One of the apparent paradoxes of modern food is that while the amount of time spent cooking meals has fallen from 60 minutes a day in 1980 to 13M a day in 2002, the number of cooks and television programmer on cooking has multiplied. But perhaps this isn't a paradox. Maybe it is became people can't cook anymore, so they need to be told how to do it, or maybe it is because people buy books about hobbies---golf,yachting ---not about chores. Cooking has ceased to be a chore and has become a hobby.Although everybody lives in the kitchen. its facilities are increasingly for display rather than for use. Mr. Silverstein's now book, "trading up" look at mid-range consumer's milling now to splash out. He says that industrial -style Viking cook pot, with nearly twice the heat output of other ranges, have helped to push the "kitchen as theater" trend in hour goods. They cost from $1000 to $9000.Some 75% of them are never used.Convenience also has an impact on the healthiness, or otherwise, of food, of course there is nothing bad about ready to eat food itself. You don't get much healthier than an apple, and supermarkets sell a better for you range of ready-meals. But there is a limit to the number of apples people want to eat; and these days it is easier for people to eat the kind of food that makes them fat The three Harvard economists in their paper "why have Americans become more obese?" point out that in the past, if people wanted to eat fatty hot food, they had to cook it. That took time and energy a good chip needs frying twice, once to cook the potato and once to get it crispy. Which discouraged of consumption of that cost of food. Mass preparation of food took away that constraint. Nobody has to cut and double cook their own fries these days. Who has the time?51. What might the previous paragraphs deal with?A. The relationship between meals and convenience food.B. The importance of convenience food in people's life.C. The rise of convenience food.D. The history of food industry.52. What is the paradox in the third paragraph?A. People don't know how to cook.B. The facilities in the kitchen are not totally used.C. People are becoming more obsess, thus unhealthy.D. Convenience food actually does not save people thrive.53. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The bad effects of convenience foodB. Mr. Silverstein's new bookC. People's new hobbyD. Disappearance of the old symbol of togetherness.54. Why has American become more obese?A. Because of eating chips.B. Because of being busy.C. Because of being lazy.D. B and C.55. Which of the following might the author mostly agree with?A. There is nothing bad about convenience food.B. Convenience food makes people lazy.C. Convenience food helps companies grow.D. Convenience food is a revolution in cooking.Section IV TranslationDirections:In this section there is a passage in English.
