19、ch passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencilQuestions 31 to 34 are based on the following passage:The stability
20、of the U.S. banking system is maintained by means of supervision and regulation,inspections,deposit insurance,and loans to troubled banks.For over 50 years,these precautions have prevented banking panics.However,there have been some close calls.The collapse of Continental lllinois Bank women and chi
21、ldren are“dependents.“The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should 400-618-2500第 11 页 共 146 页naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is thus appropriate for women,not men,to be employed as nurses,social workers,ele
22、mentary school teachers,household helpers,and clerks and secretaries.These positions are simply an extension of women s domestic role.Informal distinctions between“women s work“and“men s work“in the labor force,according to the ideology,are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences bet
23、ween the sexes. http:/Finally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way.For the human species to survive over time,its members must regularly reproduce.Thus,women must,whether at home or in the labor force,make the most of their physical appearance.So goes the
24、ideology.It is,of course,not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex defined roles in social life.There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society,and those role differences that to exist are largely learned.But to the de
25、gree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society,sex defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.43 .Women s place,some people think,is within the protective environment of the home because-.A .women can p
26、rovide better care for the children.B .women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all.C .women are biologically suited to domestic jobs.D .women can not compete with men in any field.44 .According to the author,sex roles-.A are socially determinedB .are emotionally and physically determined.C

29、perform what is considered women s duties by another.D .Some of the women s roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men.Questions 47 to 50 are based on the following passage:In a sense,the new protectionism is not protectionism at all,at least not in the traditional sense of the term.The o
30、ld protectionism referred only to trade restricting and trade expanding devices,such as the tariff or export subsidy.The new protectionism is much broader than this;it includes interventionssintosforeign trade but is not limited to them.The new protectionism,in fact,refers to how the whole of govern
31、ment interventionsintosthe private economy affects international trade.The emphasis on trade is still there,thus came the term“protection.“But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect international economic relations.The emergence of the new protectionism in
32、 the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist,or welfare economy over the market economy.Jab Tumiler writes,“The old protectionismcoexisted,without any apparent intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution
33、mechanism-indeed,protectionists as well as (if not more than)free traders stood for laissez faire(放任政策).Now,as in the 1930 s,protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies satisfaction.“It is precisely this pro
34、found skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism.In a market economy,economic change of various colors implies redistribution of resources and incomes.The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper.There fore,the gove
35、rnment intervenes(干涉；干预)to bring about a more desired result.The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe.In Sweden 400-618-2500第 13 页 共 146 页,Norway,Finland,Denmark,and the Netherlands,government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered
36、 normal.In Great Britain this is only somewhat less true.Government traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so.Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe.It also happens to be the most successf
37、ul Western European economy.The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe.Social security,unemployment insurance,minimum wage laws,and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene.47 .This passage is primarily co
38、ncerned with discussing-.A .the definition of the new protectionism.B .the difference between new and old protectionism.C .the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world.D .the significance of the welfare state.48 .Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare s
39、tate mentioned in this passage?A Free education is available to a child.B Laws are made to fix the minimum wage.C A jobless person can be insured.D There are regulations for rent.49 .Which of the following inferences is true,according to this passage?A .The economy developed faster in welfare states
40、 than in non welfare states.B .In the 1930 s,protectionism began to rise.C .The new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest.D .Government plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe than in Great Britain.50 .The passage supplies information for answering which of
41、the following questions? 400-618-2500第 14 页 共 146 页A When did the new protectionism arise? http:/B .Why is the new protectionism so popular in northern European countries?.C .Does the American government play a more active role in economic life than the British government?.D .Why does the government

43、ecision to hold the Games again in four years time.Ever since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896,they ve had their critics.Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble.But part of the aim of the Games ,when they were first held in ancient Greece,was to discourage war between states by eng
44、aging them in a friendlier kind of combat.My Committee and I intend to see that they go on doing this.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could be more harmfully employed.In my opinion,it does a lot of good,getting people to forget their differences in a communal acti
45、vity.Any competitor or spectator at the Games or in the Olympic Village will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable:as if the world were one big family.And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate,only exist in a few quarters.What we suffer from is bad pub
46、licity,not had sportsmanship. http:/These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world.Not only do they bring sportsmen together,but they unite a world public.Isnt this a sufficient reason for continuing then?Of course,a few people are going to use them as an occasion for p
47、ropaganda(宣传) ，but this is no reason why the Games should be canceled.Why should every harmless activity be spoiled for the majority by the minority?No!As long as the majority wants it,these Games will continue.This is sport,sir,not politics,and I intend that it should remain so.51 .Is that right that all the people in the world agree t
