"But I just paid 1.69 for this bottle of wine last week. How is it that the price is now 2.25?"
There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise. All have to
do with the supply and demand factors of economics ( 经济 ).
The first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before. This demand for more wine has increased wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year.
The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which means that the same number of bottles is produced each year. Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes. But in at least three wine producing areas of the world--France, Germany, and California --- new vineyards (葡萄园) will not be useable in the near future. Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal, as well as Argentine, Australia, Austria, and Chile. And these wines will be seen more often on the American market. But none of these countries will be able to fill the good wines.
The third factor is that costs of wine production are soaring. The workers who make wine are asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming more expensive.
When the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up. When production costs, meaning the price of labor and machinery rise, the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine. For these reasons, that bottle of wine now costs 2.25 instead of 1.69.
60. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Every year people drink more wine.
B. Countries won't be able to fill the demand for good wines.
C. The prices of things go up when the demand for them is greater than the supply.
D. The supply of wine will always be less than demand.
61. What is the result caused by the three factors mentioned in the passage?
A. The price for wine is higher than it was last year.
B. Wine sales have increased 15 percent over last year.
C. Fewer bottles of wine are being produced.'
D. People are drinking more wine.
62. This passage is written to
A. describe where wine is produced B. persuade people drink more beer
C. explain why the price of wine is rising
D. describe why wine is a favorite drink to many Americans
63.The underlined word "soaring" means" ______”
A. adding quickly B. reducing fast C. demanding badly D. increasing fast
C
Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay our all accounts(账户); they depend on depositors(储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be funds(备用的)to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks' failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks anticipated(预见) a run the next day, and so the officers 'of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller(出纳) had enough funds on hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply. The officers simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand. Next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line make many believe that they could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers' windows. Clothing was torn, legs and arms broken, but the crowd continued for hours. The power of the worrying is clear in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors, drew out the funds in their own accounts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty preventing herself from doing the same.
64 . A bank run occurs when .
A. A bank is closed for one or more days
B. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one time
C. there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one time
D. clerks of a bank take their own funds out of the bank
65. The crowd in Mrs. Vaught's bank and on the sidewalk gathered because of .
A. demand B. hunger C. doubt D. anger
66. The basic cause of a run on a bank is .
A. loss of trust B. lack of enough funds C. crowds of people D. poor working tellers
67. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?
A. She knew that the bank was not sound.
B. She feared that too many customers would close the bank.
C. She was not able to draw out her money.
D. She was trying to draw out her money.
68. According to the passage, the actions of the customers of Mrs. Vaught' s bank were affected
chiefly by the .
A. convenience with which they could get their money
B. belief showed by other customers of the bank
C. act that Mrs. Vaught showed
D. failure of several other banks to open
D
Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent (具备智能的). They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.
The touch -screen devices (触摸屏装置) are on show at the Food Marketing Institute's exhibition here this week. "These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker," said Michael Alexandor, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.
Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM's "shopping buddy”, has recently been test- marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.
Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put some-thing back on the shelf.
"The whole model is driven by advertisers’need to get in front of shoppers," said Alexandor. "They're not watching 30 - second TV ads anymore."
People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system (系统) that will organize the trip around the store, if you're looking for toothpicks you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.
The devices also keep a record of what you buy. When you're finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self - checkout stand and pay.
The new computerized shopping assistants don't come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store a bout $160,O00, and the Concierge will cost stores about $ 500 for each device.
69. The underlined word "they" (paragraph l) refers to
A. supermarkets B. shop assistants C. shopping carts D. shop managers
70. Which of the following is the correct order of shopping with the computerized shopping carts?
a. Start the system. b. Make a shopping list.
c. Find the things you want. d. Go to a self- checkout stand.
A. abdc B. bacd C. acbd D. bcad
71. We can learn from the last paragraph that
A. intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money
B. the Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devices
C. shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid
D. average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices
72. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. New age for supermarkets
B. Concierge and Shopping Buddy
C. New computers make shopping carts smarter
D. Touch - screen devices make shopping enjoyable

What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate's need to study for an exam may take priority (优先) over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.
In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail--other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable--to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical (合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds prey on our vulnerability. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must
make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution (美国宪法).
73. According to the passage, persuasion means ________.
A. changing others' point of view
B. exercising power over other people
C. getting other people to consider your point of view
D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want
74.The underlined word in the second paragraph "prevail" means “________”.
A. win B. fail C. speak D. listen
75.The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.
A. a danger to society B. difficult to do well
C. unwelcome behavior D. never successful

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the great changes that have taken place in one corner of my residential district in/over the past two years.
In the past, the corner was very dirty full of a variety of wastes such as broken bottles, old papers, plastic bags everywhere, especially, with a broken and deserted car in the center, so that few people came here. However, with great support from the government and hard work of many people, the corner is becoming more and more beautiful, with a large flowerbed surrounded by green trees and nice flowers. Now birds come here to sing, children come here to play, and adults come here to enjoy their peaceful life. It has taken on a new look.
I really like my residential district now!
Yours,
Li Hua
