4、ed C. taxed D. executed Section Reading Comprehension Part A Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. （40 points） Text 1 A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in

5、which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist was asked which of three groups borrow most people with rising incomes, stable incomes,

6、or declining incomes he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the year 19471950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us the traditional assumptions about earning

7、and spending is not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price i

8、ncreases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months,” she said, “well have to pay more for meat and milk; well have less to spend on other things.” Her family had been planning to buy a new car b

9、ut they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyers resistance may be evoked. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just dont pay these prices; they are too high.” Traditional assumptions should be investigated careful

10、ly, and factors of time and place should be considered. The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations concluded at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. Th

11、e conditions most conductive to spending appear to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people have become accustomed to consider them “right” and expect them to remain stable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices with oc

12、casional sales or discounts is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology. 21. The best title of the passage is . A Consumers purchasing power. B Relationship between income and purchasing power. C Traditional assumptions. D Studies in consumer behavior. 22. The example of the mechanics

13、 wife is intended to show that in times of rising prices . A people with declining income tend to buy less. B people with stable income tend to borrow less. C people with increasing income tend to buy more. D people with money also tend to buy less. 23. Findings in investigations in Britain are ment

14、ioned to show . A maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology. B people in Britain behave in the same way as those in America. C factors of time and place should be taken into consideration. D occasional discount and sales are necessary. 24. According to the

15、passage, people tend to buy more when . A prices are expected to go up. B prices are expected to go down. C prices dont fluctuate. D the business policy remains unchanged. 25. Which of the following statements is not true?A The traditional assumptions dont always hold water. B When prices rise, peop

16、le have to buy even though they dont want to. C It is still not well known that the traditional assumptions are wrong. D In the old days, businesses always fail because of lack of knowledge of consumer psychology. Text 2 Tight-lipped elders used to say, “Its not what you want in this world, but what

17、 you get.” Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things. You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If w

18、e intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served. Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint f

19、or a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services. This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be

20、referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications, will pay him to employ you and your “wares” and abilities must be displa

21、yed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details regardi

22、ng the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now. 26. What do the elders mean when they say, “Its not what you want in this world, but what y

23、ou get.”?A Youll certainly get what you want. B Its no use dreaming. C You should be dissatisfied with what you have. D Its essential to set a goal for yourself. 27. A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as _. A an illustration of how to write an application for

24、 a job B an indication of how to secure a good job C a guideline for job description D a principle for job evaluation 28. According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because _. A that is the first step to please the employer B that is the requirement
