19、ow each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OneLess than 40 years ago in the United States, it was common to change a one-dollar bill for a dollar“s worth of silver. That is because the coins were actually made of silver. But those days are gone. There is n

20、o silver in today“s coins. When the price of the precious metal rises above its face value as money, the metal will become more valuable in other uses. Silver coins are no longer in circulation because the silver in coins is worth much more than their face value. A silver firm could find that it is

21、cheaper to obtain silver by melting down coins than by buying it on the commodity markets. Coins today are made of an alloy of cheaper metals. Gresham“s Law, named after Sir Thomas Gresham, argues that good money is driven out of circulation by bad money. Good money differs from bad money because it

22、 has higher commodity value. Gresham lived in the 16th century in England where it was common for gold and silver coins to be debased. Governments did this by mixing cheaper metals with gold and silver. The governments could thus make a profit in coinage by issuing coins that had less precious metal

23、 than the face value indicated. Because different mixings of coins had different amounts of gold and silver, even though they bore the same face value, some coins were worth more than others as commodities. People who dealt with gold and silver could easily see the difference between the good and th

24、e bad money. Gresham observed that coins with a higher content of gold and silver were kept rather than being used in exchange, or were melted down for their precious metal. In the mid-1960s when the . issued new coins to replace silver coins, Gresham“s law went right in action. 51. Why was it possi

25、ble for Americans to use a one-dollar bill for a dollar“s worth of silver A. Because there was a lot of silver in the United States. B. Because money was the medium of payment. C. Because coins were made of silver. D. Because silver was considered worthless. 52. Today“s coins in the United States ar

26、e made of _. A. some precious metals B. silver and some precious metals C. various expensive metals D. some inexpensive metals 53. What is the difference between good money and bad money A. They are circulated in different markets. B. They are issued in different face values. C. They are made of dif

27、ferent amounts of gold and silver. D. They have different uses. 54. What was the purpose of the governments issuing new coins by mixing cheaper metals with gold and silver in the 16 th century A. They wanted to reserve some gold and silver for themselves. B. There was neither enough gold nor enough

28、silver. C. New coins were easier to be made. D. They could make money. Passage TwoBy the mid-nineteenth century, the term ice-box had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States: The ice trade grew with the growth of ci

29、ties. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philad

30、elphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modem refrigerator, had been invented. Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now

31、suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of ice that performed the coolin

32、g. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox. But as early as 1803

33、, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up
