二、Reading Comprehension

1.As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding the cheapest market for the wings they wish to purchase.  Specialization is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product. Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal.  The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties’ desires and preferences. Thirdly, money acts as store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on end would involve obvious disadvantages. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided.  Using money as a medium of exchange means that_____.

A.you have to sell something in order to buy something
B.you have to buy something in order to sell something
C.you don’t have to buy something in order to sell something
D.the seller and the purchaser are the same person

2.Specialization is encouraged because_______.

A.people can use their money to buy whatever they want
B.people get paid according to their share of the product.
C.people pay great attention to the manufacture of a product
D.people cannot use their money to buy whatever they want

3.A barter economy is one in which _______.

A.value is decided by weight
B.value is decided by number
C.money is used and goods are not exchanged
D.goods are exchanged and money is not used

4.If one had to save products instead of money, __________.

A.this would need years of practice
B.coal, for example, would lose its value
C.they could not be stored for years on end
D.many products would lose their value

5.How many advantages of money are mentioned in this passage?

A.Two
B.Three
C.Four
D.Five

6.The great advance in rocker theory 40 years ago shows that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel. However, during the decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite layman’s question to inquire which one is “better”. The question is meaningless. One might as well ask whether a gasoline or a diesel engine is “better”. It all depends on the purpose, a liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely: it can be reignited when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really at very short notice. A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot be stopped and reignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time, most military employ solid fuels, but manned space-flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.  The author feels that a comparison of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets shows that _______.

A.neither type is very economical
B.the liquid-fuel rocket is best
C.each type has certain advantages
D.the solid-fuel rocket is best.

7.The most important consideration for manned space flight is that the rocket be_____.

A.inexpensive to construct
B.capable of lifting heavy space shift into orbit
C.easily controlled
D.inexpensive to operate

8.Solid-fuel rockets are expensive to operate because of their_______.

A.size
B.fuel
C.construction
D.complicated engines

9.Which of the following statements is not characteristic of liquid-fuel rockets?

A.the fuel is cheap
B.they are cheap to build.
C.they can be stopped and reignited.
D.they must be used soon after fueling.

10.The author tells us that_______.

A.whether a liquid-fuel or a solid-fuel rocket is better depends on the purpose
B.neither type is superior
C.forty years ago, large solid-fuel rockets with solid-fuel as powerful as liquid fuels were made
D.the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the direction of the pump
