6.(16)DIf you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market.You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket.But in either case,you are producing for the market.(17)GIf people stop buying tomatoes,you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money,you are producing for the market.If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer,he is producing goods or service for the market.
(18)CYou may spend money in stores,supermarkets,gas stations and restaurants.Still you are buying from the market.When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck,he is buying your labor in the labor market.(19)A But for each person or business that is making and selling something,it is very concrete(具體的).If nobody buys your tomatoes,it won't be long before you get the message.(20)F It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.

E.One has to make his ends meet when shopping.
F.The market is telling you something.
G.Your efforts are being directed by the market.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了市場的概念以及市場反映出的一些問題和靈感.

解答 16.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market."可知,文章用種西紅柿做例子,講述市場的概念.故選D項.
17.G.推理判斷題.根據(jù)上文"you are producing for the market."可知,你在為市場生產(chǎn);根據(jù)下文"If people stop buying tomatoes,you will stop producing them."可知,如果人們不買你的西紅柿,你就會停止種植.所以本句應(yīng)填:你的努力受市場的指導(dǎo).故選G項.
18.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)下文"You may spend money in stores,supermarkets,gas stations and restaurants.Still you are buying from the market."可知,無論你是在商店、超市、加氣站還是飯店花錢,你仍然是從市場買東西.故選C項.
19.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)下文"But for each person or business that is making and selling something,it is very concrete."可知,對于每一個從市場買或賣東西的人或企業(yè)來說,市場非常具體.其中concrete(具體的)和A項中的abstract相對應(yīng),故選A項(市場可能有點(diǎn)抽象).
20.F.推理判斷題.根據(jù)下文中"It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do."可知,它正告訴你你把精力和資源用在市場不想讓你做的方面.故選F項(市場正告訴你一些東西).

點(diǎn)評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個選詞,一個選句子.解題時,要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.

11.Scientists study the natural world by using"scientific method".When a scientist observes some phenomenon in nature,he develops an idea,called a theory or hypothesis (假設(shè)),about what is happening.Then he does an experiment to test his theory.If the results are as expected,then the experiment proves the hypothesis which makes it more likely that the theory is correct.If the experiment fails and the results are not as expected,then the scientist must come up with a new theory that he can test.
   In ancient times great thinkers came up with complicated theories to explain nature,but they did not always prove them by experiment.For example,the great Greek thinker Aristotle,had a theory that heavy objects would fall faster than light objects.People believed this until the scientist Galileo performed an experiment and found it was wrong.
    Here's an experiment that you can use to prove or disprove a common-sense theory:
    Step 1:Get an empty bottle with a small neck.A diameter (直徑) of 1/2 inch should be ideal.
    Step 2:Cut a sheet of paper to a square 5 inches on each si de.
    Step 3:Crumple (壓皺) the paper into a tight wad (塊狀物).
    Step 4:Lay the bottle on its side and place the paper so it lies loosely in the neck of the bottle.
    Construct a theory about what will happen if you put your mouth about a half inch from the neck of the bottle and blow hard towards it.A common-sense theory might be that the wad would be blown into the bottle by the force of the breath.Now do your experiment to see what really happens.
    If your theory was that the wad would be blown by the force of the air into the bottle,the experiment gave you unexpected results.In most cases the wad is blown out of the neck of the bottle in the opposite direction.A new theory might be that the air being blown into the bottle creates a whirlwind (旋風(fēng)) of air currents (氣流) in the closed space which push the wad out.
29.The writer mentions Aristotle's theory to showD.
A.he was a greater thinker in ancient times
B.he was less successful than Galileo
C.objects of different weights fall at the same speed
D.experiments are necessary to support theories
30.According to the passage,what is not required in the four-step experiment?A
A.A pair of scissors.
B.A piece of paper.
C.A bottle.
D.A strong breath.
31.What's the best title for the passage?D
A.Come to Nature with Scientists          
B.Make up a New Theory
C.Experiment with Breath in a Bottle      
D.Watch Out for Common Sense.

15.For many people,particularly immigrants,the American Dream is that talent and hard work can take youfrom log cabin to the White House.Tony Trivisonno did not rise as high as the White House,yet he managed tomake his own dream come true.
He came from a farm in Italy.One evening I found him standing behind my garage.
"I mow (割草) your lawn,"he said.It was hard to comprehend his broken English.
I asked him his name."Tony Trivisonno,"he replied."I mow your lawn."I told Tony that I couldn't afforda gardener.
"I mow your lawn,"he said again,then walked away.Yes,these Depression days were difficult,but how could I refuse a person who had come to me for help?
When I got home from work the next evening,the lawn had been mowed and the walks swept.I asked mywife what had happened.
"A man had worked on the yard,"she answered."I thought you had hired him."
I told her of my experience the night before.We thought it strange that Tony had not asked for pay.
The next Friday,I saw Tony again,behind the garage.I praised him for the work he had done.
"I mow your lawn,"he said.
I managed to give him some kind of small weekly pay,and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks.My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix.
Summer passed into fall,and winds blew cold."Mr.Craw,snow pretty soon,"Tony told me one evening."When winter comes,you give me job clearing snow at the factory."
Well,how do you deal with such determination and hope?Of course,Tony got his job at the factory.
One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage."I want to be apprentice (學(xué)徒)"he said.
We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained workers.But I doubted whether Tony were able to read blueprints or do precision work.Still,how could I turn him down?
Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice.Months later,I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder (磨工).My wife and I were delighted with what Tony had achieved.
A year or two passed,and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place."Mr.Craw,"he said,"I like to buy a house."In the town,he had found a completely old house for sale.
I called on a banker friend."Do you ever loan money on character?"I asked."No,"he said.
"Now,wait a minute,"I replied."Here is a hard-working man,a man of character,I can promise you that.He's got a good job.And he will pay your interest."
   Unwillingly,the banker loaned Tony 2,000 and helped him buy the house.Tony was delighted.From the non,it was interesting to see that any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony.
   After about two years,I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot.He seemed to stand a little straighter and looked confident.
"Mr.Craw,I sell the house and buy a farm."
   We sat down and talked.He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America.With asatisfied look in his eye,he told me that when they came to his little farm,his friend stood in amazement and said,"Tony,you are a millionaire!"
   Then,during the World WarⅡ,news came from my company that Tony had passed away.
   When my people came to visit his family,they found the farm green with vegetables,the little house comfortable and homey.The children were educated and working,and Tony didn't owe a cent.
   Tony,as well as all the greatest American businessmen,had reached their success in the same way and by the same values:vision,determination,optimism,self-respect and,above all,honesty.
   Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream.But he didn't find it-he created it for himself.All he had were 24 precious hours a day,and he wasted none of them.
55.Why did Tony repeat"I mow your lawn"?A

C.Any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony.

16.American real estate(房地產(chǎn))tycoon Donald Trump,whose election as US president surprised many around the world,has been unsurprisingly named Time magazine's"Peron of the Year"for 2016.
Trump said while responding to the news,"It means a lot,especially me growing up reading Time magazine.And it's a very important magazine,and I've been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year-and last year.But I consider this a very,very great honor."
Trump has long been obsessed with having his face on the cover of magazines,something that happened more and more often as he won early polls,then Republican primaries,then the nomination(提名),then the presidency.Trump keeps piles of these magazines in his office and with this mindset,Time's"Person of the Year"became Trump's long-cherished wish.
Although the magazine featured Trump several times on its cover,it passed on naming him"Person of the Year"for 2015.Instead,it selected German Chancellor Angela Merkel,whom the magazine credited with opening her nation's border to hundreds of thousands of refugees(難民)and managing Europe's debt crisis.Trump did not take that news well."I told you@TIME Magazine would never pick me as‘Person of the Year'in spite of being the big favorite.They picked the person who is ruining Germany,"he said on Twitter soon after the news was announced.
Time managing editor Nancy Gibbs said that the decision in 2016 was easy.This title goes to a newsmaker who has influenced events for better or for worse."When have we ever seen a single individual who has so defied(違背)expectations…beaten not one but two political parties on the way to winning an election…I don't think that we have ever seen one person,operating in such an unconventional way,have an impact on the events of the year quite like this,"Gibbs said.

24.What do Trump's words suggest in Paragraph?C
A.Luck is on his side.
B.He deserves the award.
C.He feels proud of the award
D.Time has a good effect on him.
25.Which is truth according to the article?D
A.Trump is afraid to be famous.
B.Trump is angry about Time magazine.
C.Trump is addicted to having his face on the cover of magazines.
D.Trump is addicted to having his face on the cover of magazines.
26.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?B
A.Merkel ruined Germany.
B.Merkel was"Person of the Year"for 2015.
C.Trump thought well of Merkel.
D.Trump won"Person of the Year"twice.
27.Why was Trump elected as Time's"Person of the Year"for 2016?D
A.He's been on its cover many times.
B.He is the newly elected president.
C.He is the favorite of the magazine.
D.He was highly influential in the year.
