Task 3 (3 point each; 15 point in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1 (No.56 through No.60).

Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. However, in primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of good. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, salt, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.

A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn?t show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper m oney in the form of bills, which are really “promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “money” in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.

56. “Barter” (Line 2, Paragraph l) here means.

A. exchanging goods for money

B. exchanging goods for goods

C. exchanging a sheep for anything in the market

D. exchanging money for goods

57. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?

A. Because they were durable and portable.

B. Because they were recognizable.

C. Because they were divisible.

D. All of the above.

58. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them .

A. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

B. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

C. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

D. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

59. “Promises to pay” (Line 6, Paragraph 2) means.

A. possibilities to pay

B. necessities to pay

C. obligations to pay

D. opportunities to pay

60. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is .

A. suitable

B. possible

C. necessary

D. avoidable

Task 4 (3 points each; 15 points in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.61 through No.65).

In most lectures, several main ideas are presented. These are the concepts（思想）the lecturer wants the students to remember. Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an “umbrella” covering the other main concepts. The students' job, then, is to pick out the main concepts, including the “umbrella” idea.

Lecturers usually begin with an introduction. Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella” idea are briefly presented in the introduction; often they are not. Next comes the body of the lecture. It is here that the several main concepts are always presented. The final part of a lecture, the conclusion, is traditionally a summary of the main concepts. This is also

the place where the “umbrella” idea can most easily be repeated, restated, or even introduced for the first time.

When a lecture is well organized, with a clear-cut beginning, middle and end, the main ideas are usually easy to pick out. When a lecture is not well organized, getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult. Some lecturers are “long-winded”, taking a long time to come to the point.

Others ramble on (杂乱地漫谈) and never seem to come to the point at all.

61. While listening to a lecture, the students are expected to remember .

62. A lecture is usually made up of three parts- , and according to this passage.

63. Sometimes, both and of a lecture are put forward in the introduction. 64．A lecture with a neatly-planned , and is said to be a well organized lecture.
