Public goods are those commodities from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one person's utilization docs not reduce the possibilities of anybody else' s enjoying the same good. Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect.A flood control dam is a public goods.Once the dam is built,all persons living in the area will benefit—irrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example.Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded. It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with public goods. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse,and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense.Because the market does not provide the necessary signals,economic analysis has to be substituted for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss？

A Mechanisms for safer navigation.

BThe economic structure of the marketplace.

CA specific group of commodities.

DThe advantages of lowering taxes.

2. Which of the following would NOT be an example of public goods as described in the passage？

AA taxi.

BA bridge.

CA fire truck.

DA stoplight.

3. According to the passage,finding out the social costs of a public good is a______.

Adifficult procedure

Bdaily administrative duty

Cmatter of personal judgement

Dcitizen's responsibility

4. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first two paragraphs？

ASuggestions for the application of an economic concept are offered.

BSeveral generalizations are presented from which various conclusions are drawn.

CPersuasive language is used to argue against a popular idea.

DA general concept is defined and then examples are given.

It was Ann’s first experience of flying.She had always been afraid of heights and so was prepared to be frightened. Only the fact that she was going to meet her son who she had not seen for three years had given her the courage to make the flight. She sat in her seat,her hands gripping its arms, her seat belt already fastened.The air hostess was talking,telling everyone what to do in case of emergency,showing them where their life-jackets were. The plane was crowded,and every seat was full.From her window seat,getting out in a hurry would be impossible，thought Ann.In any case who would want to get out of a plane in mid-air？ The engines began to shake—the noise increased till it was like a great rushing wind.She looked out to see the runway slip past at astonishing speed.She wanted to cry out—to stop the plane before it left the ground,but she knew she was trapped in this great roaring machine. I must scream, she told herself, and put her hands over her eyes. There was a strange feeling as if she were going up in a lift.The noise died down.Carefully she opened her eyes. Through the window she saw a great carpet of cloud above, so beautiful that she stared in wonder,hardly turning away from the window till they touched down.

CHolding tight to her seat belt.

DHolding on to part of the seat.

7. Why did Ann want to scream？

ABecause the plane didn't leave the ground.

BBecause she couldn't make the plane stop.

CBecause she couldn't hear the wind.

DBecause she couldn't see the runway.

Have you ever argued with your loved ones oversimple misunderstandings（误解）？Little wonder. We often believe we're more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are,according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study,speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here's some good advice to reduce misunderstanding: (1)Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod,look at you or say“uhhuh”to be polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding. （2）Train the editor（编辑）in your head. If you say，“Beth discusses her problems with her husband,”it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead,“Beth talks to her husband about her problems.” or”Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.” (3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying“I want to be sure I said that right.”Questions like“How does that sound？”or“Does that make sense？”may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end,ask questions to be sure you're on the same page. After all,it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood.

9. Why does the writer give us the advice？

AWe're not skillful enough to make clear sentences.

BMisunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.

C Misunderstanding occurs now and then.

DIt's impolite to say NO to others.

10. The writer suggests that when talking to others,the speaker should______.

Aknow that listeners will show him that they understand his words

Bexpress himself clearly even when he sees signs of understanding

Cnotice listener’s signs of understanding

Dlook directly into his listener’s eyes

11. By Train the editor in your head,the speakers are advised______.

Ato get themselves trained by a good editor

Bto discuss problems with their husbands or wives

Cto express themselves in long but simple sentences

Dto make sure each sentence has only one meaning

12. In the last paragraph,the words ”you’re on the same page”mean that______.

Ayou're following the speaker closely

Byou're reading the same page as the speaker does

Cyou should know which page the speaker refers to

Dyour story is written on the same page as the speaker's

It seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.Its first use was as a shade against the sun！ Nobody knows who first invented it,but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese,as early as the eleventh century B.C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use:it became a symbol of honour and authority.In the Far East in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office. In Europe,the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages,the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680,the umbrella appeared in France,and later on in England. By the eighteenth century,the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made,in a whole variety of colours.
