Reading The passages are followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

In general, these are all the natural, man-made, and human resources that go into the production of goods and services. This obviously comers a lot of ground: factories and farms, tools and machines, transportation and communication facilities, all types of natural resources, and labor. Economic resources can be broken down into two general categories: property resources-land and capital, and human resources-labor and entreprenenrial skills.What do economists mean by land? Much more than non-economists. Land refers to all natural resources that are usable in the production process: cultivatable land, forests, mineral and oil deposits, and so on. What about capital? Capital goods are all the man-made aids to producing, storing, transporting, and distributing goods and services. Capital goods differ from consumer goods in that the latter satisfy wants directly, while the former do so indirectly by facilitating the production of consumer goods. It should be noted that capitals as defined here do not refer to money. Money, as such, produces nothing.The term labor refers to the physical and mental talents of humans used to produce goods or services (with the exception of a certain set of human talents, entrepreneurial skills, which will be considered separately because of their special significance). Thus the services of a factory worker or an office worker, a ballet dancer or an astronaut all fall under the general heading of labor.1. In Paragraph 1, the author uses the expression “This obviously covers a lot of ground” to indicate that _C___A. a factories and farms discussed in the passage are very largeB. economic resources will be discussed in great depthC. the topic of economic resources is a broad oneD. land is an important concept in economics2. When non-economists use the term “land”, its definition ____A. is much more general than when economists use itB. is much more restrictive than when economists use itC. changes from place to placeD. includes all types of natural resources3. Which of the following could be considered a kind of capital goods as defined in the passage?AA. A railroad.B. Money.C. A coal deposit.D. Human skills.4. The word “heading” in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ____.A. directionB. practiceC. categoryD. utility5. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?DA. To explain the concept of labor.B. To criticize certain uses of capital.C. To contrast capital goods and consumer goods.D. To define economic resources.Passage TwoOne phase of the business cycle is the expansion phase. This phase is two-fold, comprising recovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is ever-growing expansion of existing facilities, and new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever-increasing optimism about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or “heavy” industry. More labor is employed. More materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other parts are affected. For example, a great expansion in automobile production results in an expansion of the steel, glass, and rubber production. More roads are also required, hence stimulating paving and machinery industries. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials, including farmers. This increases purchasing power and the volume of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity is diffused among various portions of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise without an apparent end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops spiraling upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase.1. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?CA. The Labor Force and Raw MaterialsB. The Recovery and Prosperity StateC. An Expanding SocietyD. The Period of Good Times2. Prosperity in one branch of industry ____.A. reflects itself in many other branchesB. affects the steel industryC. will end abruptlyD. will help all portions of society except the farmers3. Which of the following will probably be a good indicator of a period of expansion?BA. Demand for more toys.B. Expansion in machine tools industry.C. Population growth.D. Decline in farming.4. During the period of prosperity, people regard the future ___C_.A. cautiouslyB. practicallyC. confidentlyD. doubtfully5. The word “ones” in line 4 refers to __A__.A. facilitiesB. factoriesC. improvementsD. businessesⅥ. Translate the following Chinese sentences into English (10)1. 秘书可能会有很多其它不同的头衔。
