11、amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals of the market (paying a price for faster service).Markets and queuespaying and waitingare two different ways of allocating things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of t

12、he queue, “First come, first served,” have an egalitarian (平等主义的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets.The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to acc

13、ept the first offer that comes along, simply because its the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards.Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear, played ove

14、r and over, as you wait on hold when calling your bank: “Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the morals of the queue. Its as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.But dont take the recorded message too seriously. Today, som

15、e peoples calls are answered faster than others. Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping.Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. S

16、ome goods we distribute by merit, others by need, still others by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other non-market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore. It is striking that most of the paid queue-jumping schemes weve

17、considered at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors offices, and national parks are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets have entered.21

18、. According to the author, which of the following seems governed by the principle “First come, first served”?A. Taking buses. B. Buying houses.C. Flying with an airline. D. Visiting amusement parks.22. The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates _.A. the necessity of patien

19、ce in queuing B. the advantage of modern technologyC. the uncertainty of allocation principle D. the fairness of telephonic services23. The passage is meant to _.A. justify paying for faster services B. discuss the morals of allocating thingsC. analyze the reason for standing in line D. criticize th

20、e behavior of queue jumpingBOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the Childrens Room.I sa

21、t down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to some

22、one who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the tit

23、le. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his fam

24、ily and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world .I su

25、ddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my miraculous（奇迹般地）experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkabl

26、e improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.24The authors mother told him to borrow

27、a book in order to .A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons25The book caught the authors eye because .A. it reminded him of his own dog B. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained

28、 pretty pictures of animals D. he liked childrens stories very much26Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pct dog. D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.2

29、7Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. My Passion for Reading B. Mums Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. The Charm of a BookCIf a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen (氮) dissolved (溶解) in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure. The

30、 consequence, if the bubbles (气泡) accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent bodythus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death.Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And

31、 so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs. That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil (化石) bo

32、nes that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his
