For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken

21、 the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passageLast weekend Kyle MacDonald in Montreal threw a party to celebrate the fact that he got his new home in exchange for a red paper clip. Starting a year ago, MacDonald bartered the clip for

22、increasingly valuable staff, including a camp stove and free rent in a Phoenix flat. Having announced his aim(the house)in advance, MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power. My whole motto(座右铭)was start small, think big, and ha

23、ve fun, says MacDonald, 26, I really kept my effort on the creative side rather than the business side.Yet as odd as MacDonald exchange 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

24、number of barter sites. These Websites allow companies to trade products for a virtual currency, which they can use to buy goods from other members. In Iceland, garment-maker Kapusalan sells a third of its output on the booming Vidskiptanetid exchange, earning virtual money that it uses to buy machi

25、nery and pay part of employee salaries. The Troc-Services exchange in France offers more than 4,600 services, from math lessons to ironing.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 coi

26、ncidence of wants. That is, two parties once not only had to find each other, but also an exchange of goods that both desired. Now, they can price the deal in virtual currency.Barter also helps firms make use of idle capacity. For example, advertising is hugely barteredbecause many media, particular

27、ly on the Web can supply new ad space at little cost. Moreover, Internet ads dont register in industry-growth statistics, because many exchanges are arranged outside the formal exchanges.Like eBay, most barter sites allow memebers to grade trading partners for honestry quality and so on. Barter exch

28、anges can allow firms in countries with hyperinflation or nontradable currencies to enter global trades. Next year, a nonprofit exchange 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 d

29、irector Gacci Waciuma says the farmers are excited to be liberated from corrupt middlemen. For them, barter evokes a bright future, not a precapitalist past.41. The wordtechies(Line 4, Para1) probably refers to those who are_.A. afraid of technologyB. skilled in technologyC. ignorant of technologyD.

30、 incompetent in technology42. Many people may have deliberately helped Kyle because they_.A. were impressed by his creativityB. were eager to identify with his mottoC. liked his goal announced in advanceD. hoped to prove the power of the Internet43. The Internet barter system relies heavily on_.A. t

31、he size of barter sitesB. the use of virtual currencyC. the quality of goods or servicesD. the location of trading companies44. It is implies that Internet advertisements can help_.A. companies makes more profitB. companies do formal exchangesC. media register in statisticsD. media grade barter site

32、s45. Which of the following is true of QL2 according to the author?A. It is criticized for doing business in a primitive way.B. It aims to deal with hyperinflation in some countries.C. It helps get rid of middlemen in trade and exchange.D. It is intended to evaluate the performance of trading partne

33、rs.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 to kneel before being shot in the back of the head in a school playground on Au

34、gust 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 last forced Newarker to say they have had enough.Grassroots organizations, like

35、 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 50,000 to promise to stop shootin, start thinkin, and keep livin. The Newark C

36、ommunity Foundation, which was launched last month, announced on August 14th that it will help pay for Community Eye, a surveillance(监视) system tailored towards gun crime.Cory Booker who became mayor 13 months ago with a mission to revitalize the city, believes the surveillance program will be the l

37、argest 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 occured. And more cameras are planned.When a gunshot is detected, the surveil

38、lance 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 leaders and others, believes(or hopes) that after the murder the city will no longe

39、r 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 Manhattan Institute notes that Newark has deep social peoblemsver 60% of chil

40、dren 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 development. Only around 7% of nearby Newark airport workers used to come from

41、Newark; now, a year, the figure is 30%. Mr. Booker has launched a New York-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).46. What happened in Newark, New Jersey on August 4th?A. The Newark resident

42、s witnessed a murder.B. Four young people were killed in a school playground.C. The new mayor of Newark took office.D. Four college students fell victim to violence.47. Judging from the context, the Community Eye(Line5, Pare2)is_.A. a watching system for gun crimeB. a neighborhood protection organiz

43、ationC. an unprofitable community businessD. a grassroots organization48. We learn from the passage that Newark has all the following problems EXCEPT_.A. violence B. flood C. poverty D. indifference49. Mayor Bookers effort against crime seem to be_.A. idealistic B. impractical C. effective D. fruitl

44、ess50. The best title for the passage may be_.A. Stop Shootin, Start Thinkin, and Keep LivinB. Efforts to Fight against Gun CrimeC. A Mission to Revitalize the CityD. Violent Murders in NewarkQuestion 51 to 55 are based on the following passageAccording to a recent survey on money and relationships,

45、 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 need to be f

46、inancially 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 cause of a growing trend to keep a sec

47、ret bank account hidden from a partner, in other words, an “escape fund”.Margarets 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 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 hed hurt and w
