II. Reading comprehension 10%
The relationship between the home and market economics has gone through two distinct stages. Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes (e.g. clothmaking, sewing, and canning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evident- the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them (e.g. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these fruits of industrialization, they would have to be obtained in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as nursing the sick, became socially unacceptable( and, in most serious cases, probably less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of the horse-drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the appearance of television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of background
music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increase the options available to the home economy toe either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in customer goods, but not increased flexibility for the home economy in obtaining these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical model that views the family as deciding whether to produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the second ( and current ) stage.
1. The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that __D__.
A. it was a necessary step in the process of industrialization B. they depended on electricity available only to the market economy C. it was troublesome to produce such goods in the home
D. the marketplace was more efficient with respect to these processes 2. It can be seem from the passage that in the second stage ____B___. A. some traditional goods and services were not successful 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 unacceptable
D. whether new goods and services were produced by the home economy
became irrelevant
3. During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace ___C__. A. as wage earners
B. both as manufacturers and consumers C. both as workers and purchasers D. as consumers
4. Economic growth did not make it more flexible for the home economy to obtain the new goods and services because __C___. A. the family was not efficient in production
B. it was illegal for the home economy to produce them C. it could not supply them by itself
D. the market for these goods and services was limited 5. The neoclassical model is basically a model of the first stage, because at this stage __A__.
A．the family could rely either on the home economy or on the marketplace
for the needed goods and services
B. many production processes were being transferred to the marketplace
C. consumers relied more and more on the market economy
D. the family could decide how to transfer production processes to the marketplace

IV. Translate the following paragraph into English 20%
跌倒的是一个女人，花白头发，衣服都很破烂。她从马路边上突然向车前横截过来，车夫已经让开道，但她的破背心没有上扣，微风吹着，向外展开，所以终于兜着车把，幸而车夫早有点停步，否则她要栽一个大跟头，跌到头破血流了。
It was a woman with gray hair and ragged clothes. The coachman had given way, but her tattered waistcoat was unbuttoned and spread out in the breeze, so that at last she had the handlebars in her lap. Fortunately, the coachman had stopped a little earlier, or she would have fallen on her head and bled .
V. Translate the following paragraph into Chinese20%
So society has us all at its mercy. It has only to murmur to the man that staying home is a feminine characteristic, and he will be out of the house like a bullet. It has only to suggest to the woman that logic and reason are the exclusive province of the masculine mind, whereas “intuition” and “feeling” are the female forte, and she will throw her physics textbooks out of the window, barricade herself into the house and give herself up to having wishy-washy poetical feelings while she arranges the flowers.
所以社会对我们都是仁慈的。只需对男人喃喃地说，呆在家里是女性的特征，他会像子弹一样离开家。他只需要告诉女人，逻辑和理性是男性思维的专属领域，而“直觉”和“感觉”是女性的强项，她会把自己的物理课本扔出窗外，把自己关在屋子里，在她整理花儿的时候，让自己进入一种放空的诗情画意中。
