12、ion（每小题 2 分，共 40 分）Directions: In this part there are 4 passages. Each passage is followed by 5 comprehension questions. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answers.Passage 1 Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic c

13、onsiderations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters ar

14、e expected to marry “well”-that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance（轻蔑地）at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no

15、 part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty (充满幻想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then

16、enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(赞同) throughout American popular culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV. Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainl

17、y provide a basis for the spouses to “live happily ever after”. But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations-as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be

18、that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of nuclear family（小家庭)。1. Romantic love is less frequently found in many non-industrial societies because people in these societies_D_. A) firmly believe that only money can make the world go round B) fail to bring the imaginative power

19、 of the mind into full play C) cannot find romantic love D) have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whom2. The word “potential” (para.1) could best be replaced by _B_.A) energy B) ability C) voltage D) place3. According to the passage, most Americans _C_. A) except their d

20、aughters to fall in love with a male at first sight B) look up to those who marry for the sake of wealth C) regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriage D) consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the world4. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic l

21、ove?C A) It is a common occurrence among the old. B) It is primarily depicted by books. C) It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption. D) It is rejected as flighty and irrational.5. Which statement is true according to the passage?D A) Romantic love makes people unable to think clearly

22、in the process of mate selection. B) Only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever after. C) Romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family. D) Much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriage.Passage 2In cities wi

23、th rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say

24、 that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which could also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartme

25、nts are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartment in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an emplo

26、yer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paid jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being

27、equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their digni

28、ty. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The

29、 predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simpl

30、e answers to economic questions.6. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may _A_. A) cause a shortage of apartments B) worry those who rent apartments as homes C) increase the profits of landlords D) encourage landlords to invest in building apartment7. According to the critics, rent co

31、ntrol _C_. A) will always benefit those who rent apartments B) is unnecessary C) will bring negative effects in the long run D) is necessary under all circumstances8. The problem of unemployment will arise _A_. A) if the minimum wage is set too high B) if the minimum wage is set too low C) if the wo

32、rkers are unskilled D) if the maximum wage is set9. The passage tells us _B_. A) the relationship between supply and demand B) the possible results of government controls C) the necessity of government control D) the urgency of getting rid of government controls10. Which of the following statement i

33、s NOT true?D A) The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted. B) Minimum wage can not always protect employees. C) Economic theory can predict the results of economic decision if other factors are not changing. D) Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Passage 3Th

34、e French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and peoples lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that

35、Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he wa

36、s caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against Fra

37、nce. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.11. Whats this passage about? CA). France.B). King Louis.C). The French Revolution.D). Europe.12. Which

40、 national parliament.Passage 4In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The s

41、ame meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes its a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel t

42、hey are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date

43、more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be

44、regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)16. What is t

45、he main idea of this passage? _B_A). It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B). The role of time in social life over the world.C).
