Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and filled it up. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: \aren't always what they seem.\

The next night the pair came to rest at a farmer's house. The farmer was very poor, but he and his wife were very hospitable（好客的）. After sharing a little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good rest that night. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was very angry and asked the old angel, \could this happen? Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house.\she accused. \second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.\

\aren't always what they seem,\the older angel replied. \we stayed in the basement, from the hole I noticed there was gold stored in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal (封口) the wall so he wouldn't find the gold. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed. Death (死神) came for his wife. I asked God if Death could

Cars of 2050 will travel the nation's highways in never-before-dreamed-of safety, comfort, and convenience. These cars will float along never touching the ground, and therefore will have no need for wheels.

4

Annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. The coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven (涡轮驱动) fans.

The car without wheels has been called a \car\and, in a sense, that's just what it is; however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, and then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. On the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheel-less vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. It will travel over fairly roughroad and even over smooth water!

The inevitable problems of maritime (水上的) regulations, severe weather conditions, and running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, service and vehicle regulation.

21. The author believes that cars of the future _____. A. will be replaced by airplanes

B. will have wheels unlike those of today C. will use columns of air instead of wheels D. will use wheels without tires 22. Cars of the future will run _____.

5

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Women earn less than men. For example, in 1988 the hourly wages of women in the U.S. were 16% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men is much smaller than that between middle-aged women and men. It is also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers in an industry who are women, the lower the average wages.

Why do women earn less than men? Are the differences explained by the fact that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene, to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women on the average have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of enteringand leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational back

7

ground which is shown in the difference in the marginal product between men and women.

Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some bias against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline. An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor input demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.

31. The difference in labor incomes is most obvious between _____.

A. young men and young women B. young women in the same industry C. middle-aged men and middle-aged women D. middle-aged women in the same industry

32. Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because _____.

A. women are less experienced than men

B. women are only provided with low-paying jobs C. women have much freedom in selecting their jobs D. there is more than enough women in the labor force

33. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the second paragraph?

A. Women receive less education than men. B. Women are not as productive as men.

C. Levels of education are closely related to productivity. D. Goods produced by women are not as good as those by men.

34. What does the author suggest that the government should do for women workers?

A. To ensure equal pay for women. B. To explain why women are paid less.

8

C. To force employers to hire more women. D. No solution is clearly suggested.

35. What would happen if women's wages were raised? A. Input of capital would be increased. B. The unemployment rate would go up.

C. Those who have jobs would become better off. D. Women as a group would earn more than before.
