BWater, water every where.It lasted almost two months , but in August it ended. It left 45 people dead and $10 billion worth of damage in nine states of USA. It was quite a big Mississippi flood ever recorded.In St.Louis, Missouri, 9,000 people were forced to leave their homes while the city was in danger. St. Louis is just downriver from the points where the Missouri and Illinois Rivers flow into the Mississippi. All three rivers were flooding. But the city escaped the worst when levees (堤) broke upriver. A levee is built of river sand and clay(粘⼟).Eleven miles of flood walls were built in the late 1960's The walls are 18 inches thick and 5 to 22 feet high. They were designed to protect against a 52-foot flood. In St. Louis, water almost reached the top of flood walls. It measured 49.4 feet.41.The flood referred to in the passage _____.A. was the heaviest one in the historyB. happened in Missouri and Illinois statesC. happened in less than twenty percent of the states of U.S.A.D. was recorded several times42.

They hoped to get a bottle cap with the winning number on it. In May 1992, the number was announced: 349. Thousands rushed to get their reward with their bottle caps worth a million pesos (about US $ 40,000) each.But Pepsi wouldn't pay. The company said there was a mistake. The numbers on the caps did not include a security code (保险号), so the caps were not really winners. Up to 800,000 bottle caps had the number 349.Pepsi has spent millions of dollars on the problem. The company has paid 54 million pesos to real winners. It also paid 500 pesos for each No.349 cap without the security code.44. Which of the following is not true?A. All those who got the number of 349 got some moneyB. All those who got the number of 349 didn't get the same amount of moneyC. None of those who get the number of 349 wasn't rewardedD.

It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营 ), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didn't, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn't too diligent (勤奋) about that either. One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to 'put them up'. I couldn't put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫⼦) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members' store for a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God!46. The furniture department was run by _____.A. the author's parentsB. the author's relativesC. some member of a big familyD. the local government47.

One step is tomake sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only half-way. Bedrooms thatusually have the curtains pulled down at night should be left down . Another is to make surethat all outside locks are thedead-bolt type (双保险) . Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen.Lights that turned on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leavethe radio turned on and setto a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday,make sure that nothing collects in front or in the house. Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and thata trusted neighbour has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers andoverpiled mail boxes.36. Why did the writer begin this piece with question?A. Because he wanted to catch the readers' attention.B. Because he wanted to have the readers guess the answer before reading.C. Because he wanted to sum up (概括) the topic of the piece.D. Because he wanted to make the readers understand him better.37. The word "live-in" in this passage means ______________.A. left emptyB. lively and cheerfulC. now being used by peopleD. laid inside38. What does the writer advise the people to do?A. Ask a neighbour to pick up the daily mailB. Make sure to have lights that turn on and off by themselves.C. Make sure the newspaper is handed over every day.D. Pull the living room curtains down.39.

Finally one day in June Mr Richards complained to a clever friend of hiswho lived in the same p lace. "One of my wife's cousins is going to bring her husband and children and spend ten days withus next month again. How have you prevented all your relatives from coming to live with you insummer ?" "Oh,"the friendanswered, "that is not difficult. I just borrow money from all the rich ones, and lend it toall the poor ones. After that,they seldom come again." Hearing this Mr Richards smiled.40.

Gradually Mr Richards succeeded in keeping his relatives out in summerD. sNone of Richards' relatives came to the seaside town for their holidays again( C )I wonder why American towns looks so much alike that I sometimes mix them up in my memory. Thestandard influence(影响)of massproduction whose agents(代理商)are the travellingsalesman, the mail-order house, the five-and-ten cent stores, the chain stores, the movies canhardly explain it. If you staytwo days in Bologna and in Ferrare, or in Arles and in Avignon, you will never mix them up inall your life. But it may wellhappen that after you spend two days in St.Louis and in Kansas City the appearances of thesetwo cities soon mix up. I thinkthe reason for this is that these towns have not yet had time enough to develop their owncharacters. Similarly, children aremuch less different from each other than grown people.44. Which two of the following towns look so much alike?A. Bologna and FerrareB. Arles and AvignonC. St. Louis and Kansas CityD. Bologna and St. Louis45. In line 4 the word "it" refers to ____________.A. standard of townsB. similarity of townsC. people's memoryD. mass production46. American towns look very much alike because of ____________.A. the standard influence of mass productionB. their different appearancesC. not being fully developedD. having everything in common( D )Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, butmost of them travel alone.And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For themost part each star makesits journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well overa million miles from itsnearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhereneat it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to comenear our sun, Just as the sun and the moon raise tides(潮汐)on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on thesurface of the sun .But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in ouroceans; a large tidal wavemust have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the causeof the disturbance(动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before thestar began to move away again,its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off smallparts of itself into space.These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets(行星).47. Millions of stars are _______________.A. following a regular path in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always travelling together48. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because__________.A. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun49. The article suggests that _____________ .A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be a high mountain on the sun50. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to _________.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets51. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers __________.A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came from( E )Contacts(交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirtyyears, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreigncompanies now have offices inJapan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world.Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder theforeign businessman and makedoing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example , wants of start talking business immediately . He wantsquick decisions. He does notwait. The Japanese, on the other hand , likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" or "No". This is becauseof cultural difference for a Japanese to say "No" directly.In English, it is easy to say "No" to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is verydifficult to say "No". Torefuse an invitation or a request with "No", or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. Itis thought to be selfish(自私)and unfriendly. So instead of saying "No" directly, the Japanese have developed many ways toavoid saying "No". Theseenable them to avoid hurting other people's feeling. However, this often makes communicationwith the Japanese difficultfor foreigners to understand and follow.52. Paragraph one tells us that ______________ .A. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in JapanB. Japan is a very important country for businessmenC. business contacts between Japan and the West are importantD. Japanese businessmen do business all around the world53. The word "bewilder" in paragraph 2 probably means _________.A. tireB. interestC. puzzleD. surprise54. From the passage we can know that _____________.A. American businessmen do things more quickly than Japanese onesB. American businessmen like to say "Yes" and "No"C. Americans usually say what they are thinkingD. Americans do not express themselves clearly55. The passage tells us that ________.A. Japanese businessmen are good at businessB. foreign businessmen should first try to understand JapaneseC. foreign businessmen must be more politeD. if you want to succeed you must learn from Japan第四部分:写作第一节:短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely thatman's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage mainly tells us that____.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. man's organs' functions will be one the wane37. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.38. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because____A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.39. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.40. It is implied that ____.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.BWith the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. One of the biggest such industries is the tourist industry. Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists ——and guides, brochures, souvenirs ——is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow. Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts and plays are usuallyintended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture. The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks.41. What makes leisure business important according to the passage?A. People's leisure time is increasing.B. More and more people begin to show great interests in seeing other parts of the world.C. Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.D. Longer vacations are offered than before.42. What do we know about entertainment from the passage?A. It is the biggest leisure industry.B. Movies, TV shows, concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure.C. People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.D. Making TV sets and building theatres are also part of entertainment industry.43.What's main idea of this passage?A. With people having more leisure time, tourist industry becomes the biggest industry in many countries.B. With people having more leisure time, entertainment industry becomes one of the major industries in many countries.C. With people having more leisure time, leisure business is becoming more important in economic life.D. With people having more leisure time, leisure business list is being extended.CThirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street through out Britain nowadays there is at least one “Do-it-Yourself” shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so.

Because they could not do it themselves.B. Because professional workers were very cheap.C. Because they had no time.D. Because professional workers could do much better.45.Thirty years later what changes took place?A. People could do everything themselves.B. Few people chose to be a professional workerC.

Besides the latest information, I 'd love to appreciate beautiful exotic sceneries and enjoy the evening with my favorite singers, actors and hosts. It was the advertisement that frustrated me. Ad is a great annoyance of watching television.In the first place, the ads waste time. Generally speaking, at least 5 or 6 minutes is lost when watching the ads during a single news program, and usually 10 to 15 or even more during a good movie. In the second place, the ads often interrupt the viewer. The viewer may forget the situation of a show because of frequently inserted ads; even worse, the watcher may lose his pleasant mood when the ads come on one after another, which can bring negative psychological influence such as disappointment, depression, anxiety and so on so forth. Besides, the ads make many products look more appealing than they really are, some of which even look so disgusting. For example, an expensive car is made to seem luxurious, or a bad product like deodorant is made to look very good by showing a beautiful amazing lady taking shower! Therefore, the television viewer must be aware and critical of the ad in order to endure them.48.Why the author was one of the TV fans in the past?A. Because he could stay with his favorite stars the whole evening.B. Because he could travel the world without going out.C. Because he could get the news which couldn't be found on newspapers.D. Because he could make friends on TV.49. What feelings may ads bring to the viewers when inserted frequently, according to the author?A. disappointedB. depressedC. anxiousD. unpleasant50.Which statement is not true according to the passage?A. Ads are frustrations during watching TV.B. Ads occupy too much viewer's time when they watch TV……C. Ads often cause interruptions wh ich will destroy the viewer's mood……D. Ads present the viewer much information about the best products.51. What can we infer from the passage?A. Ads time should be reasonably controlled.B. More and more people choose not to watch TV.C. Programs on TV are not worth watching.D. Ads mustn't be showed on TV at all.EMcDonald's is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now (or so the company claims)the word's most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers' chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m(£44m). Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc's claim that the chain was his creation.Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984)at McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac (1968)and the Egg McMuffin (1973); and helped launch Ronald McDonald ——“in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India (vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace)and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection). McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you've got time to lean, you've go time to clean.”52. McDonald's was founded _____.A. by a kitchen equipment salesman .B. in California.C. by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald.D. after the first World War.53. What do we know about McDonald's brothers?A. They were not McDonald's founders although they named the restaurant.B. Their business was still in depression after several years.C. They had clear job separation on business.D. They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.54. Which is not Kroc's contribution to McDonald's ?A. He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.B. Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fameC. He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D. He built McDonald's empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.55. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founderB. The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.C. Employees in McDonald's have no time to lean.D. The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after Santa Claus.56. This passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. brief history of McDonald's.B. McDonald's success……C. Ray A Kroc, leader of the McDonald's empire.D. McDonald brothers, founder of McDonald's.大Sussex police ordered to search a six-foot, dark-haired 57____________youth about 20 he failed to rob an old lady – Mrs West. 58____________The youth rushed at the lady and tried to bring h 59____________things and money then she was walking through the street. 60___________Surprisingly, however, the old lady grasped the robber 61____________wrist (手腕)and it made him let out of a cry “Oh, no! 62____________Stop!“ and ran away. ”If I had been carrying my shopping, 63____________I would real have put him on his back,“ said Mrs West 64____________who took a course in judo (柔道)when youn ger. “When my 65____________husband was living.

全国英语等级考试二级模拟训练附答案

全国英语等级考试二级模拟训练附答案全国英语等级考试二级模拟训练附答案The failures and reverses which await men - and one after another sadden the brow of youth - add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian success would do. 以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的全国英语等级考试二级模拟训练附答案,希望能给大家带来帮助!Proper an-angement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort when we work. Today' s corporations hire human engineering specialists and spend a great deal of time and money to make sure that the physical environments of buildings are fit to the activities of their inhabitants.Similarly, college classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking. We will move into the twenty-first century, but step into almost any college classroom and you will step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious:everything important comes from the teacher.With a imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchanges among students. In small or standard sized classes, chairs, desks and tables can be arranged in different ways: circles, U-shapes, or semicircles. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Larger classes, particularly those held i.n lecture halls, unfortunately, allow muchless flexibility.Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with malleable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out hard, and see how other students' thinking processes operate--all these are the most important elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. He then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from then on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for in teraction but helps him learn students' names and faces.46. The expression "step back in time at least a hundred years" ( Para. 2 ) is intended to convey the idea that_________ [ A] college classrooms often remind people of their college lifeB. critical thinking was encouraged even a century agoC. a hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite differentD.there is not much change in the college educational idea over the past hundred years47. The primary purpose of desk rearrangement is_________A. for the teacher to divide students into small groupsB. to make it possible for students to interact with each otherC. for the teacher to find out how students thinkD.to give students more opportunities to practice speaking48. The greatest advantage in allowing each student to find his own group might be that_________A. the teacher saves the trouble in doing that ——B. learning is made comfortable in this wayC. the teacher can easily remember students' names and facesD.brighter students can help slower ones49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. New kind of desks and chairs should be made.B. Many companies are trying to improve the working settings for their employees.C. Classroom interaction between students is essential to the training of critical thinkingD.A comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiency.50. Which of the following arrangements of the classroom can bring about the best teaching effect?A. Arranging the desks in straight rows and providing every minute for the students to listen to the teacher.B. Breaking a class into small groups and letting the students find the group they prefer to stay in.C. Putting the students in larger classes and allowing them to discuss.D.Breaking a class into small groups and asking the students to stay in the fixed groups as the teacher arranges.参考译文教室空间的合理布局对促进学生之间的互动是很重要的。

全国英语等级考试二级(pets2)阅读理解练习题二

全国英语等级考试二级(pets2)阅读理解练习题二

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient (便利的) way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world's population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs.The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations (探险) have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.Technology is enabling man to explore (勘探) ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.1. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.2. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn't completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor3. Why does the author mention a steamship in paragraph 5?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.4. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea5. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. At the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.参考答案【1】D【2】A【3】A【4】B【5】D。

[a] some traditional goods and services were not suessful when provided by the home economy [b] the market economy provided new goods and services never produced by the home economy [c] producing traditional goods at home became socially unaeptable [d] whether new goods and services were produced by the home economy became irrelevant 70. during the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace _________ . [a] as wage earners [b] both as manufacturers and consumers [c] both asworkers and purchasers [d] as customers 71.economic growth did not make it more flexible for the home economy to obtain the new goods and services because _________. [aj the family was not efficient in production [b] it was illegal for the home economy to produce them [g] it could not supply them by itself [d] the market for these goods and services was limited模板,内容仅供参考。
