Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in return— now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters,like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.
Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink (眨眼) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters?
But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone of an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble (鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.
56. What is happening to the wallet?
A) It is disappearing. C) it is becoming costly.
B) It is being fattened. D) It is changing in style.
57. How are business transactions done in big modern stores?
A) Individually. C) In the abstract.
B) Electronically. D) Via a cash register.
58. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?
A) Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.
B) The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.
C) Earning money is getting more difficult.
D) Spending money is so fast and easy.
59. Why does the author choose to write about what’s happening to the wallet?
A) It represents a change in the modern world.
B) It has something to do with everybody’s life.
C) It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.
D) It is the concern of contemporary economists.
60.What can we infer from the passage about the author?
A)He is resistant to social changes.
B)He is against technological progress.
C)He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.
D)He fells insecure in the ever-changing modern world.
第4题
We may think of the American economy, as consisting of two completely different sectors.The world of the giant corporations, which can be called the "industrial system", consists of 500 or 600 firms that provide "nearly all communications, nearly all production and distribution of electric power, much transportation, most manufacturing and mining, a substantial share of retail trade, and a considerable amount of entertainment." Outside of this industrial system fall most agricultural enterprises, some mining and trucking, professional and artistic pursuits, some retail trade, and most personal and domestic services.
The classical economic laws of supply and demand still apply to some degree.But today the industrial sector is characterized far more by planning and certainty than by the free play of market forces.It appears that it could scarcely be otherwise.In large corporations with advanced technological systems and complex organizations of highly trained specialists, plans for producing any one item are made well in advance.Such plans, once made, are hard to change.Because long-term planning demands certainty, market forces are avoided by various means.For example, the corporation may achieve "vertical integration" by buying companies that supply raw materials at one end of the process and distribution outlets at the other.Corporations may agree on "just prices" for things they buy and sell.They may enter mutually advantageous long-term contracts with suppliers and customers.Moreover, in their quest for certainty they generally have the support of the state.
26.The American giant corporations possess so many new characteristics that
A) highly educated managers are important for the corporations
B giant corporations become decentralized
C economic laws of the market are effective inside corporations
D heads of the giant corporations try to control the government
27.By the second paragraph, we know that .
A retail trade accounts for a big part in non-industrial system
B there are more giant corporations than agricultural enterprises

D giant corporations provide most of productions and services
28.From the whole passage, we can infer that American economy .
A is experiencing the rise of giant corporations
B is determined by hundreds of giant corporations
C has failed to balance supply and demand
D becomes highly-planned one
29.In the third sentence of last paragraph, the second "it" may refer to.
A classic economic law of supply and demand
B industrial sector
C American economy
D market force
30.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A American economy is characterized by high technology and giant corporations.
B American economy consists of industrial systems and agricultural enterprises.
C.Market economy is gradually replaced by planned economy.
D Highly trained specialists are needed.
