第6题：
根据下列内容，回答211-215题。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy．Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house，so they have to borrow money from a bank．Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”．The bank usually lends money or gives a me．gage for twenty—five years．Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50，000．In other words，they will have a$50，000 mortgage．
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like．you go to a bank．The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk．They will want to know what kind of job you have，what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job．
They will a]so want to know how much money you have．In addition．the banks will require a down payment．Depending Oil which state you live in，the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment．The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
down payment．
What does a house mean in the United States．? __________A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank答案：C解析：从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知，房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性，与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化，并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。 -
第7题：
All but the tiniest of roads have to have names so they can be recognized on a map,and so people can ask?directions to them.Americans name a lot of bridges,too.
Very often these names carry a clear geographical reference the Pennsylvania Turnpike,for example.Or,like?the George Washington Bridge,roads and bridges are named for famous historical figures or powerful officers.
We make a big deal out of naming things,as when someone decided to name an airport after a U.S.judge.So?now we have the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
Many,if not most,of our college buildings are named for wealthy people who gave a lot of money to the?schools.And our sports centers took this idea a step further.Companies paid a whole lot of money for what′s called?the"naming rights"to U.S.Cellular Field in Chicago,for example,and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Now the governor（州长）of Virginia,Bob McDonnell,wants to sell naming rights to roads and bridges in the state.He says not just companies,but also wealthy people,would help the Virginia transportation budget（预算）by paying to have their names--or perhaps those of loved ones--placed on roads and bridges,and thus on maps as well.
People hold different views,however.Supporters say Americans are used to having things sponsored（赞助）.
Others disagree,considering the idea as the next step in the"companies of America."They wonder how far such an?idea might spread,and where it would end:at the Burger King Pacific Ocean,perhaps.
What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.People have different ideas toward naming things.
B.Americans have sponsored naming a lot.
C.Everything is named by an American company.
D.Pacific Ocean will be renamed.答案：A解析： -
第8题：
单选题What is worth nothing from the example of Athens County is that _____.Agreater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards
B70 percent of the people there have been, employed for two years
C50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare
Dthe living standards of most people are going down
正确答案： C解析：
细节推断题。B项“70%的人就业已达2年”。第二段称70%的脱离福利照顾的人在过去两年里参加了工作，但并没说该郡70%的人参加工作已达2年，故B项有误。C项“50%的人口不再依赖福利政策”，文而章说雅典郡的贫困率在30%以上，为全国贫困率的2倍，显然C项错误。D项“大多数人的生活水平在下降”也与文章不符。A项“为提高人民生活水准尚须做出巨大努力”与第三段“作为穷人的代言人，这表明，尚须做更多的努力”属同义转述。因此，A项为答案。 -

单选题Why is a “selling panic” much less likely in the housing market?ABecause most houses are primary residences.
BBecause people have locked in low mortgaged rates.
CBecause people could only qualify for smaller mortgages.
DBecause people don’t believe housing market would crash.
正确答案： D解析：
录音中明确指出“selling panic”(抛售大恐慌)不可能发生原因是“most houseing are primary residences”，即大多数的房屋都主要是住宅，故选A。
【录音原文】
Do you think the housing market will crash and prices will go down? If so, what time frame do you suggest? You’re not the only one who’s worried about whether the housing market is another “bubble” ready to burst. Yes, it’s certainly likely that — at some point — housing prices will stop rising as quickly as they have been recently and may even fall somewhat.
But earlier dire predictions of an impending housing crash in recent times haven’t come about. One reason a “crash” is unlikely is that the housing market is structured much differently from investment markets like stocks or commodities. A “selling panic”, for example, is much less likely in the housing market because most houseing are primary residences. If everyone wanted to sell at once, where would we all live?
The impact on average price also tends to be gradual because housing price trends are very local; a lot has to do with how the supply of housing in a given area compares to demand. In some markets, where the local economy is in decline and everyone is leaving, housing prices can and do fall. But in areas where the economy is strong and there’s little space for new construction — prices will most likely continue to rise.
There are plenty of doomsday scenarios out there; A prolonged, steep recession could eventually bring steep housing price declines. A sharp rise in interest rates would likely cool demand for houses and force prices lower — because potential buyers would qualify for smaller mortgages. But many homeowners have locked in low rates and wouldn’t feel the impact of higher rates on their monthly mortgage payments. -
