PART VI READING COMPREHENSION [30 MIN]
SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]
In this section there are four passages followed be questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. choose the one that you think is the best answer.
Mark you answers on your answer sheet.
TEXT A
Many of the home electric goods which are advertised a liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect, because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women's magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving device, follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect of the function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce "that lovely home baked flavor the family love", and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.
66. According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate women
A. remove unpleasant aspects of housework.
B. save the housewife very little time.
C. save the housewife's time but not her money.
D. have absolutely no value for the housewife.
67. According to the context, "capital investment" refers to money
A. spent on a washing machine.
B. borrowed from the bank.
C. saved in the bank.
D. lent to other people.
68. The goods advertised in women's magazines are really meant to
A. free housewives from housework.
B. encourage housewives to go out to work.
C. turn housewives into excellent cooks.
D. give them a false sense of fulfillment.
TEXT B
The "standard of living" of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense in not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.
A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate: other regions possess none of them.
Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons have been unable to develop their resources. Sound and table political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to procure more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers are largely unskilled.
A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. For example, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for the surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would otherwise be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
69. The standard of living in a country is determined by
A. its goods and services.
B. the type of wealth produced.
C. how well it can create wealth.
D. what an ordinary person can share.
70. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends all the factors EXCEPT
A. people's share of its goods.
B. political and social stability.
C. qualities of its workers.
D. use of natural resources.
71. According to the passage, play an equally important role in determining a country's standard of living.
A. farm products
B. industrial goods
C. foodstuffs
D. export & import
