二、2.

1.There is much discussion today whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.
  Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. There include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world"s population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.
  People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. Those proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surrounding from industrialization.
  This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.

According to those who agree against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that______.

A．our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industry
B．the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which growth can not continue
C．the world population is ever increasing
D．more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life

2.
Those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth______.

A．is essential to the well-being of society as a whole
B．can provide the solution to many of our social problems today
C．can protect our environment from being polluted by industry
D．can provide us with more natural resources for industrialization

3.
We may infer from the context that" proponents"( Line Para. 3 ) most probably means

A．arguments in supports of something
B．disagreements
C．people who argue for something
D．people who argue against something

4.
The passage is mainly about______.

A．the contradiction between economists and the business community
B．the present debate on economic growth
C．the advantages and disadvantages of economic growth

D．the author is very much worried about the problems caused by continued growth

7.How can a single stamp be worth $ 16 800?
  Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony (殖民地) of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer—Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps. Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius " Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally marked the words " Post Office" instead of " Post Paid" on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
  Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left—fourteen One-Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two-Penny Blues. Because of the Two-Penny Blue"s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $ 16800 for it.

Mauritius is the name of______.

A．an island kingdom
B．a British colony
C．a province of India
D．a London printer

13.Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted(曲解)one.
  Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
  Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.

Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are______.

A．distorted
B．normal
C．similar to each other
D．different from its own

14.

The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign country is often______.

A．from second-hand information
B．gathered from other sources than from its inhabitants
C．gained from the arguments about the country
D．different from what one had before the travel

16.
Differences between peoples______.

A．will gradually disappear because of ease of travel
B．do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alike
C．will always continue to exist and the world will be a bull place
D．will not exist as one hopes

17.
"However" (Line 6, Para. 3)most probably means______.

A．Somewhat
B．By whatever means
C．Anyhow
D．No matter what

19.A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers (消費者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.
  If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most — people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or decreasing incomes—he would probably answer, those with decreasing incomes. Actually in the years 1947 ~ 1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions (假設) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true.
  The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months, "she said, "we" 11 have pay more for meat and milk; we" 11 have less to spend on other things. "Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer"s resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment; "I just don"t pay these prices; they are too high. " The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America; The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology (心理學) .

According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way spend their money, he should

A．rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending
B．try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money
C．carry out investigations on consumer behavior. and get data on consumers incomes and money spending motives
D．do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory

20.
According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that people with ______incomes borrow most.

A．average
B．stable
C．decreasing
D．rising

21.
According to paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that______.

A．price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy things
B．rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain things
C．women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than men
D．the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry

22.
From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article______.

A．concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in America
B．concludes that the consumers always expect prices to remain stable
C．concludes that maintaining stable prices is a correct business policy
