The economy of the United states after 1952 was the econnomy of a well-fed,almost fully employed people. Despit occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. A n economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day ,or about twenty-five million dollars every hour , all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them . Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920’s . As farmer’s shre of their products declined , marketing costs rose. But there were , among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority . Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression. The passage states that incom available for spending in the U.S. was greater in 1955 than in 1950 . How much was it （）?

    错


    正确答案： 错
    解析：
    录音中指出“公众价值观发生的重大改变日益扩大了农业研究的范围…不断改变的公众价值和需求将会创造出新的市场机会和改变农业与食品和纺织系统、环境以及美国社会结构的关系”，因此题干所描述的“美国农业经济和社会结构都会受到公众价值和需求的变化的影响”符合录音内容。
    【录音原文】
    Important shifts in public values have progressively broadened the scope of agricultural research to include goals related to the environment, human health, and communities. Changing public values and needs will create new market opportunities and will alter agriculture’s relationship to the food and fiber system, the environment, and the fabric of American society.

    C

    the United States of America prohibited alcohol sales

    D

    most states in the country began to allow alcohol sales


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    细节题。第一段第一句提到“…much of the United States of America put Prohibition to rest 73 years ago…”。put…to rest为固定搭配，意为“使…中止”。该句中Prohibition指“禁酒令”，由此可知该句指“73年前美国许多地方就中止了《禁酒令》…”。言外之意就是美国许多州在那时就被允许售酒了，因此选项D为正确答案。

    B

    A foreign competitor has substantially increased the volume of products shipped to the United States.

    C

    A foreign competitor selling products in the United States at less than fair market value.

    D

    The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the United States.
