第4题：
Public goods are those commodities from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded.Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities,and one person′s utilization does not?reduce the possibilities of anybody else′s enjoying the same good.
Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect.A flood control dam is a public?goods.Once the dam is built,all persons living in the area will benefit--irrespective of their own?contribution to the construction cost of the dam.The same holds tree for highway signs or aids to navigation.Once a lighthouse is built,no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization?of the lighthouse for navigational purposes.National defense is another example.Even a person who voted?against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.
It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with public goods.There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs,sailors for watching a?lighthouse,and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense.Because the market does not provide the necessary signals,economic analysis has to be substituted for the impersonal?judgement of the marketplace.
Which of the following would NOT be an example of public goods as described in the passage?A.A taxi.
B.A bridge.
C.A fire truck.
D.A stoplight.答案：A解析：【考情点拨】推理判断题。【应试指导】从文章第一、二段可知，公共商品是每个人都可免费享用的商品，如水坝，公路标志等。由此推知，四个选项中，桥梁、消防车、交通灯都是公共商品，只有A项不是公共商品。 -

【听力原文】
W: What I don’t understand is why you’re so keen on the Layer-de-la-Haye house, Roger. Why on earth should we actually choose, to live out in a village, even if it is a popular village, or so the house agent’s description says, when we could get a place right in the center of Colchester? Look…we’ve got all these house descriptions. And we’ve got time to go and see all of them. You know that I’d much prefer to be in the town and…
M: …and be boxed in by a thousand other houses…surrounded by a thousand faceless neighbors? No Julia…let’s go for the village. After all I’m the one who has to do all the traveling. Back and forth to London every day. And I’d rather add a fifteen-minute bus ride to the train ride.
W: That’s all very well…all very well to take that romantic attitude. You know… you think you can get out of everything and wriggle out of any argument. What about my preferences? You are being selfish you know.
M: Selfish? Me?
W: Yes you. Think of the children. Roger. It seems to me that you’re so carried away with the idea of living in the village and far from the crowd. I think your personal likes and dislikes are making you anything but practical. Alex for example…he’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned, the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Yes…here we are…local primary school within walking distance it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.
M: There are such things as school buses you know. And even if there weren’t. Alex is perfectly able…perfectly capable of using public transport.
W: Why at his age?…And think of Sylvia. She’s just getting used to the idea of being in the nursery, can you imagine there being a nursery school in Layer-de-la-Have? And I must say I…yes, I like to be free of her for pan of the day, so that I can get the shopping and the housework done… quite apart from it being good for her.
M: All fight…all right. You’ve made your point. But after all these years in London I would have preferred a bit of fresh air and greenery and…you know…the occasional toddle round the nine-hole golf course they mention. It is nine-hole, isn’t it? Yes…Anyway…It’s goodbye to that…to the “pleasant and neat gardens front and rear, apple tree and ornamental fish Pond, patio and…”
W: Stop talking through your hat. You’ve never been a lover of fresh air…your overcoat’s on as soon as the first gentle touch of the first spring breeze. And as for golf…well…we both know you love a beer at the clubhouse rather than any outdoor sports. Why is it that you’re always insisting that you like the country life, you love getting up early, you adore a good brisk walk, and so on and so on. when in fact…
M: But I do like the country…I would love getting up early…I’d often be out there having a good brisk walk…if only…
W: If only what?
M: If only…Well…if only we lived somewhere that would make it all possible and worthwhile. Never mind. Colchester is good enough I suppose. There’ll be fields and trees nearby.
W: Exactly. Now just look at this, the description of this house. I think we ought to go and see it. It’s east of the town center, so you won’t be too boxed in as you say, and shops, schools and everything else are in easy reach. We’d have the best of both worlds, you with your golf and beer…me with my fenceless neighbors.
M: And there’s another consideration. It costs…,what…? 2300 less. With that we’ll be saving for quite a nice sailing-boat.
W: Oh no!
M: You know Julia…I’ve always wanted to have a little sailing-boat…out there in the front garden. Then on Saturdays or Sundays or Bank Holidays we can hitch the trailer to the car and go to the nearest bit of river or sea. It’d do the children a world of good. I’d like them to have what I’ve never had…while they’re still young… -
第12题：
问答题Practice 5 The large river best known to the ancient Greeks was the Nile of Egypt. They spoke of the river with admiration and called Egypt “the gift of the Nile”. The reason for this was, first, that the Nile brought water to a rainless desert and, second, that once a year, the river overflowed its banks, leaving, as the water went back, a new layer of fertile soil. The flood waters carry in them soil (called silt) from the upper parts of the river valley to the lower parts, and so to the sea. But as the river meets the sea, the sea acts as a barrier and forces the river to drop the silt it is carrying. There are no tides in the Mediterranean to carry the silt away, so year after year it collects at the mouth of the Nile, and the river must find its way around islands of silt to the always more distant Mediterranean. In this way, a vast area of fertile soil has been built up at the mouth of the Nile and out into the sea. The river water splits up to form small branches winding across the area. To the ancient Greeks, the mouth of the Nile looked like the drawing. Now we sometimes name things after the letters of the alphabet they resemble: a U-turn, an I-beam a T-square, an S-bend, and so on. The Greeks did the same. The triangular area of land built up at the mouth of the Nile looked like the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet delta (Δ) and so this was the name they gave it. The word is now used for all areas of land formed at the mouth of rivers which flow into tideless seas, even when they are nor triangular in shape. The Mississippi delta, for example, is not shaped at all like the Greek delta, as you will see if you look at a map.正确答案：
【参考译文】
埃及尼罗河在古希腊人中享有盛誉。古希腊人每每提起尼罗河,总是满怀崇敬,把埃及称为“尼罗河的恩赐”。个中缘由有二:其一,尼罗河为一片久无甘露的沙漠带来了河水,其二,每年尼罗河水位上涨,会溢出河岸一次,退潮过后,留下的就是一层肥沃的泥土。
河水把泥土(或叫淤沙)从上游河谷带到下游地区乃至入海口。当与大海交汇时,由于受到海洋阻力,顺水而下的淤沙便停滞下来。
然而地中海潮水不会把淤沙带走,年复一年,淤沙便在尼罗河的入海口处堆积,尼罗河为此不得不绕道而行,距海洋越来越远。于是在尼罗河和地中海之间形成了一大片肥沃的土壤,尼罗河水也分成一股股细流,蜿蜒穿过这片土地。古希腊人觉得,尼罗河口的形状与三角图形很是相似。
如今我们会因为事物的形状酷似某个字母,便以此为之命名。比方说:U形转弯,I形标,T形广场,S形弯等等。希腊人也这样取名。尼罗河口的这片土地看起来很像希腊字母的第四个Δ(Delta),尼罗河三角洲便由此得名。现在任何在河流入海(无潮海)口形成的流域,不管其形似与否,都可以用Delta三角洲命名。如果你对照地图就会发现,其实密西西比河三角洲根本就不像三角形。解析： 暂无解析 -
