{{B}}Passage 3{{/B}}
A、scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers (消费者) 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.
(3) {{U}}If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most--people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or decreasing incomes, his probable answer would be those with decreasing incomes.{{/U}}Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions (假设) about earning and spending are 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 increases 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, "we’ll have to pay more for meat and milk; we’ll have less to spend on other things. "Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer’s resistance may be produceD、This is shown by the following typical comment. "I just don’t pay these prices; they are too high."
The investigations mentioned above were carried out inAmericA、The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology (心理学).
According to paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that______.A．price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy things
B．rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain things
C．women are more sensitive to the rising prices than men
D．the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry
Formanypeopletoday,readingisnolongerrela
For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In (56) a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend (57) can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are (58) readers. Most of us develop poor reading (59) at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency (60) in the actual stuff of language itself--words. Taken individually, words have (61) meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. (62) , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to (63) words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over (64) you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which (65) down the speed of reading is vocalization-- sounding each word either orally or mentally as (66) reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an (67) , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speeD、The bar is set at a slightly faster rate (68) the reader finds comfortable, in Order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, (69) word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible.At first (70) is sacrificed for speeD、But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, (71) your comprehension will improve. Many people have found (72) reading skill drastically improved after some training.

He is delighted that how he can (75) a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

{{B}}Passage 3{{/B}}
{{B}}Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.{{/B}}
When we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have summed up the most important single fact about it--at this moment in time. It appears probable, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligibly (微不足道的) small part of the Sun’s history.
Stars, like individuals, age and change.As we look out into space, we see around us stars at all stages of evolution. There are faint blooded dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit; there are scaring ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their radia-tion is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the "daylight" produced by any star depends on its temperature; today (and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 de-grees Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun’s light is concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in intensity toward both the longer and shorter light waves.
That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of the day will change accordingly. (80) {{U}}It is natural to assume that as the Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel-which it is now doing at the spanking rate of half a billion tons a sec-ond-it will become steadily colder and redder. {{/U}}

B．Violet.

(79)Inthelast500years,nothingaboutpeople
(79) In the last 500 years, nothing about people--not their clothes, ideas, or languages--has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by SouthAmerican Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s.And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New WorlD、Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru toEurope, where it soon was widely grown. (80) Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845--1846, and thousands more were forced to emigrate toAmerica.
There are many other foods that have traveled from SouthAmerica to the Old WorlD、But some others went in the opposite direction.Brazil is now the World’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop inColombia and other SouthAmerican countries.But it is native toEthiopiA、It was first made into a drink byArabs during the 1400’s.
According to anArabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.
"Some" in "Some still exist today" means ______.A．some cocoa trees
B．some chocolate drinks
