D46-60 Reading Comprehension : 15%（閱讀下列短文并選出一個(gè)正確的答案，15分）Passage 1 What is business?Business is the human activity related to material things. It is necessary for civilization（文明）. It is found in all societies, even the simplest ones. Business may

26、 include the production of goods: making airplanes, building buildings, and constructing paper boxes are examples of production. It can also provide the financing（融資） for those activities. Lending money, trading stocks（股票）and bonds（債券）, selling insurance policies relate to the securing of capital fo

27、r business activities. Other forms of business include merchandising, which is the selling of products, and providing various services, such as accounting（會(huì)計(jì)）, distributing, and repair. Business, then, is the activity of producing and distributing goods and services.In our study of business, it is n

28、ecessary to understand the four basic factors of production. These four factors are land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship. What is meant by these four terms?In order to produce things, it is necessary to use land. Here the term land is used in the most general way. It refers not only to a piece

29、 of real estate（不動(dòng)產(chǎn)） where we might build a factory, but it also means all the raw materials used for production. Some of these raw materials are found on earths surface, such as trees, which yield（產(chǎn)出）wood for lumber. Other raw materials are found under the earths surface in mines and oil wells, and

30、 still other raw materials may be extracted（提?。ゝrom the air. All the raw materials for production come from the land, the air and the oceans.Labour refers to the use of mental or physical work（腦力或體力活）to produce goods. Most labour changes raw materials into finished products and then distributes thes

31、e to buyers. In industrialized countries, labour is generally more mental than physical. For example, in both manufacturing and agriculture, machines accomplish the very tiring physical work than unskilled labourers used to do. In other industries, computer programmed robots（機(jī)器人） and other forms of

32、data processing equipment perform many of the jobs which used to require a lot of mental labour. Therefore, to a certain extent, the next factor, capital, can be used to replace labour or reduce the amount of physical and mental labour that humans have to use in order to conduct business.In everyday

33、 language, capital means several things. The most general meaning is wealth or money. But it also refers to the equipment that money purchases. As one of the basic factors of production, capital is all of the things that workers use in production and distribution. It includes their tools, machines,

34、and buildings such as factories and warehouses where goods are produced and stored. Capital, therefore, refers to anything that helps to produce and distribute goods.Putting together land, labour and capital to make something of value, is called entrepreneurship. The entrepreneur is the person respo

35、nsible for controlling and directing the other three factors. The entrepreneur doesnt make things with his own hands unless he is also a worker. In a business the workers take orders from the entrepreneur. He is the leader, and the employees follow his direction.Entrepreneurship includes some other

36、important activities. The entrepreneur is responsible for initiating（啟動(dòng)）business activity. He must begin his business by bringing together the land, labour, and capital. Next, he must manage the business by deciding the general policies for business operation. In order to be successful, an entrepren

37、eur must also be innovative. He must look for new products or new ways of making things and new methods of distribution, or he must offer new services. He must be able to decide on the value of things which other people invent, whether it is a new toy, a new method of filing, or a new way of adverti

38、sing. Finally, he bears all the risks of the business.Everyone connected with a business shares in the risks of the business. When a company goes bankrupt, that is, becomes unable to pay its debts, it causes problems for many people. It is hard for the employees who may have to seek work elsewhere;

39、the customers must look for another place to buy their products; creditors usually lose some of the money that they have lent to the company. But the entrepreneur takes the biggest risk. If the business fails, he must pay them up to the limit of his ability to pay. If he is skillful- and lucky- the

40、money he receives from his business venture will pay for the land, labour, and capital, and there will still be some extra money remaining for him. The extra money is the profit. If the money he receives from the business venture is not enough to pay for all of the costs, the difference is a loss.46

41、Which of the following is NOT true about business according to the passage.A. Business is necessary for civilization.B. Business is the activity of producing goods.C. Business is the activity of producing services.D. Business exists in few societies.47According to the passage, labour is more mental

42、than physical in .A. developing countries B. industrialized countriesC. industrializing countries D. underdeveloped countries48According to the passage, nowadays machines are used to do .A. mental work B. housework C. difficult homework D. tiring physical work49According to the passage, things that

43、help to produce and distribute goods are regarded as .A. capital B. money C. fund D. machine50What is the result of the bankruptcy of a business according to the passage?A. Customers cannot buy certain products elsewhere.B. People may lose a chance to pay their debts.C. Employees are able to change

44、their jobs.D. Creditors may lose some money lent to the business.51An entrepreneur can have a profit when .A. he takes the biggest risk B. he gets more money than his costC. he has some extra employees D. he has the ability to pay his debtsPassage 2 InventionsDo you have bright ideas? Ideas for inve

45、ntions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we dont often make the idea as reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright idea

46、s. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called Sunshine Superman by one newspaper writing about his design. Its important when

47、 people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neils is more accurate and this is very important for research into way of using solar power. With his pri

48、ze of 100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.You can do so much with animation. Look at Simon Wests idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isnt a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on mad signs. “We found that peop

49、le were more likely to see moving sign”, said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesnt ask more schoolc

50、hildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of pupil power!52What competition was carried out recently in Britain?AA competition among schoolchildren.BA competition in industry.CCompetition called British Designers for Tomorrow.DNone of the above.53What was the aim of the competition?ATo

51、 ask schoolchildren for suggestion.BTo encourage young people to carry out their bright ideas.CTo start pupil power.DNone of the above.54What is Neil Hunt?AA schoolboy BA schoolgirl CA teacher DA dean55What does the word bright mean in paragraph 1?AShining BClever CHappy DSad56Who invented animated

52、road signs?ANeil Hunt BA driver CSimon West DA teacherPassage 3 Generalists and SpecialistsThere are a great many careers（職業(yè)生涯） in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find those careers in engineering, in manufacturing, in statistical（與統(tǒng)計(jì)有關(guān)的） work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees,
