Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are shared among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad(无数)of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all those prices makes up the“system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.
If one were to ask a group of arbitrarily individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money values of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction (交易). This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amountbut the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for
amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.
59. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _________________. A. labor and education B. transportation and insurance C. utilities and repairs D. products and services
60. All the following are the factors in the complete understanding of price except ___________. A. instructions that come with a product B. the quantity of a product C. the quality of a product D. guarantees that cover a product 61. In the last line of the passage, the word “they” refers to _________________. A.return privileges B. guarantees on the product or service C. buyer and seller D. delivery and credit terms
62. The paragraph following this passage will most likely discuss____________________. A. unusual ways to evaluate prices of products B. types of payment plans for product and service
C. theories about how products affect different levels of society
D. how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value

There will eventually come a day when the New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future,” the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.
Nostalgia (怀旧) for ink on paper, there are plenty of reasons to abandon print. The infrastructure (基础设施) required to make a physical newspaper-printing presses, delivery trucks—isn’t just expensive; it’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same set of financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue (收入) from print is still declining.
Cost may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.
Peretti says the Timesshouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them,” he said, “but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”
Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming (流媒体). “It was seen as a mistake,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. “If I were in charge at the Times,I wouldn’t pick a year to end print,” Peretti said. “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.” The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you’re overpaying for print, you could feel like you were helping,” Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.” In other words, if you’re going to make a print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it, which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year—more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.
“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy business,” Peretti remarked. “But we’re going to have questions like that where we have things
we’re doing that don’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.”
63.The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to ____________. A. the high cost of operation. B. the pressure from its investors. C. the complaints from its readers. D. the increasing online ad sales.
64. Peretti suggests thatin face of the present situationthe Times should _____________. A. seek new sources of readership B. end the print edition for good C. aim for efficient management D. make strategic adjustments 65.Peretti believes that, in a changing world _________________. A. legacy businesses are becoming outdated. B. cautiousness helps problem-solving. C. traditional luxuries can stay unaffected. D. aggressiveness better meets challenges. 66.Which of the following would be the best title of the text? A. Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once B. Cherish the Newspaper Still in Your Hand C. Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good D. Keep Your Newspapers Forever in Fashion
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only one. Note that there are two mare sentences than you need. A. Parental involvement makes up for what schools are not able to do. B. They have a wide range of activities after school. C. Talking with children is a very simple task. D. A number of recent studies remind us that parents are even more important than schools. E. Engaging in these sorts of conversations has greater impact on educational accomplishment. F. Recent research has indicated exactly what kinds of talk at home encourage children’s success at school
It is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. 67 ________.A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement — checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home — has a more powerful influence on students’ academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, reports that the effort put forth by parents reading stories aloud, is devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.
68__________. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage. They don’t need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.
But not just any talk. 69___________.For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics found that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as powerful in promoting language development as the
ones in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal(双向的) back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter.
The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, report researchers from the University of Chicago. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization” — setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. 70_______________.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Now another American education icon may be disappearing: the hardbound textbook. More and more school districts are replacing traditional textbooks with electronic ones. Electronic textbooks are usually accessed either through an online server or are downloaded to student laptops.
In North Texas, Plano and lrving schools are introducing e-books into a few classrooms, and Lancaster school officials also are considering them. But no local district appears to be going as far as Forney. The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-book in every classroom for grades five to twelve.
Officials point out several reasons for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.
Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of the students in the district is expected to double within five years. It’s difficult to know textbook needs in advance and students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a “blank” laptop in a few hours.
Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but there are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because they’re buying the instructional material. That may change as-more and more districts move toward e-books.
Today’s students have little trouble adjusting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley, who has taught at the Academy of lrving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers.
“It’s harder for people who are right around mu age and order,” said Ms. Cooley, 36. “I’m laptop-savvv, so I was ready for it, but those that aren’t are a little worrying.

Summary:
Electronic books may substitute for traditional nooks in American schools. The advantages are as follows. They can be updated easily. Districts grow rapidly and E-books can provide more books for more students in time. (More books are needed in time because of rapid district growth.) Third, the cost may be lower in the future. E-books are OK to students, but they are a problem for old teachers.
