第1题：
In face of the current stock market, most stock-holders_____.
［A］ stop injecting more money into the stock market
［B］ react angrily to the devaluing stock
［C］ switch their money around in the market
［D］ turn a deaf ear to the warning
正确答案：D本题考虑事实细节题。第四段第一句提到，许多投资者（savers）对拥有太多公司股票的危险视而不见。［D］项是该句的改写，其中turn a deaf ear对应原文中的shut their eyes to，the warning对应the dangers。
第三段作者通过休伊特（Hewitt）咨询公司的职员的介绍说明，投资者仍在不断地投钱（keeping their contributions up），但是他们不太愿意把资金转投其他地方了（less inclined to switch their money around）。由此排除［A］和［C］项。第三段末句“投资者普遍感到吃惊（overwhelmed）”指的就是持股者对股市不景气的反应。因此［B］项与事实不符。

第2题：
You may get consumers who want very high quality services satisfied, but at a higher price.

The benefit to society of competition is that it makes a major contribution to the fundamental economic issue, which is the scarcity of productive resources. It means that on the production side, there is maximum pressure to conserve the use of those scarce productive resources. On the demand side it also rations consumer demand appropriately, and it also tends to mean that the variety of consumer needs can be met.
1. From the first paragraph of the passage we can know that usually there are ()kinds of consumers who may get satisfied in a market.
A. two
B. three
C. four
2. What does “it” in the first sentence of paragraph 2 refer to()

What's NASDAQ?
NASDAQ is a familiar but strange name for people.We often learn its news via different kinds of media,though quite a lot of people can not tell what exactly it means.
NASDAQ,short for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations system,is one of the largest market in the world for stocks trading. The number of companies in NASDAQ is more than that of the other stock exchange in America,including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE)and the American Stock Exchange(AMEX).
Most of the companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX.NASDAQ has become recognized as the home of new technology companies,especially computer and computer-related businesses.Trading on NASDAQ is initiated by stock brokers acting on behalf of their clients.The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.
Different from other stock exchange,NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place.Instead,its market makers can be found all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Since brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange,NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the-counter refers to the direct nature of the trading,as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.
Since its foundation in 1971,the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator. As the world's first electronic stock market,NASDAQ long ago set a precedent for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled.Now poised to become the world's first truly global market,the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.Which of the following is stated to be true?

DThe predictions of a housing crash have come true.
正确答案： B解析：
录音中提到“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.”，由此可见早期预言在最近的时期房地产市场崩溃即将发生，但是这个可怕的预言没有实现。房地产市场不可能崩溃的其中一个原因是房地产市场的构成和像股票或商品期货的投资市场大不相同，由此可推测出投资市场曾经崩溃过，故选B。 -
