     It is matter of common observation that although money incomes keep going up over years, we
never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is named one
of inflation(通货膨胀);the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less
valuable. We have grown used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could
be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications (迹象)
are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real word our money incomes
go up at the same rate as prices, one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When
money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money-stability(坚固性)of value. It is
no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes unsuitable standard of deferred(延期的)
payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset (财产),so people try to get rid of money as quickly
as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates (刺激) consumer spending, and prevents saving.
1.Over the years, our incomes have been increasing, and we _______.
A. seem to be well off at a quicker rate
B. are actually no better, if not worse, in our financial condition
C. can afford to buy more of the things that we want
D. have managed to keep prices down
2.Inflation is a situation in which ________.
A. we can watch our money increase in is value
B. employment no longer becomes a problem
C. people can always find better paying jobs
D. money keeps losing its value
3.If incomes and prices together, people might think that ________.
A. there will be no more market fluctuations(波动)
B. money will hold its value
C. inflation will remain to be a problem
D. inflation causes no problem
4.In a period of inflation, people are likely to _______.
A. invest heavily on the stock market
B. save money
C. hold on to money as a dependable asset
D. spend money and not bother to save

     Everywhere you look, large quantities of information in the world are pouring. This data flood is
already starting to transform business, government, science and everyday life. It has great potential for
good - aslong as consumers, companies and governments make the right choices about when to restrict
the flow ofdata, and when to encourage it.
     A few industries have led the way in their ability to gather and take advantage of the data.
Credit-cardcompanies monitor every purchase and can identify cheats with a high degree of accuracy.
Stolen credit cards are more likely to be used to buy hard liquor than wine, for example, because it is
easier to overlook. Insurance firms are also good at combining clues to spot doubtful claims: dishonest
claims are more likely to be made on a Monday than a Tuesday, since policyholders (保险客户) who
stage accidents tend to assemble friends as false witnesses over the weekend. By combining many such
rules, it is possible to work out which cards are likeliest to have been stolen, and which  claims are
untrue. By analyzing "basket data", supermarkets can make promotions to appeal to  particular
customers' preferences. The oil industry uses supercomputers to help them before  drilling wells.
     But the data flood also poses risks. There are many examples of databases being  stolen: disks
full of social-security data go missing, laptops loaded  with tax records are left in taxis,  credit-card
numbers are stolen by online purchase. The  result can  be privacy made public, identity stolen and
cheats permitted large space. Rather than  owning and controlling their own personal data, they very
often find that they have lost control of it.
     The best way to deal with the data flood is to make more data available in the right way, by requiring
greater transparency in several areas. First, users should be given greater access to and control over the
information held about them, including whom it is shared with. Google allows users to see what information
it holds about them, and lets them delete their search histories or modify the targeting of advertising, for
example. Second, organizations should be required to disclose details of security breaches, as is already
the case in some parts of the world, to encourage bosses to take information security more seriously.
Third, organizations should be subject to an annual security check, with the resulting grade made public
(though details of any problems exposed would not be). This would encourage companies to keep their
security measures up to date.
1. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Information Flood              
B. Benefits of Data Flood 
C. Harms of Data Flood            
D. How to Use Data in a Right Way
2. From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. lots of data are lost because of hardware problems
B. online purchases are becoming more and more popular
C. credit cards are not so secure to use and will go out of use very soon
D. insurance firms have to investigate before they confirm their policyholders' claims
3. From the passage we can conclude that _________.
A. the data flood makes peoples' life less convenient and more expensive
B. companies and insurance firms are responsible for the data flood
C. the information flood is more useful to organizations than to individuals
D. the information flood has both positive and negative influence on modern life

     Nearly 28% of college Students plan to seek employment using Linkedin, up from 5% last
year, according to a survey out today from employee recognition provider I Love Rewards and
career-services network Experience. Slightly more than 7% plan to use Facebook, up from 5%.
     No longer do students just wait for visiting campus recruiters to learn about job possibilities.
Instead they're using digital tools to find their dream jobs, says I Love Rewards CEO Razor
Suleman. Companies need to know their online image, then update anything that is outdated,
inaccurate or not interactive(互动的).
'The recruited have now become the recruiters," Suleman says. "They are now going out and
finding the companies they want to apply for."
     Students learn about employers by viewing their websites, reading Facebook and Twitter
updates and perusing(精读)Linkedln profiles. Another information source: Comments by past
and current employees on job-oriented websites.
     A strong digital presence is one way for employers to stand out as the search for the best
and brightest gets competitive.
     Slightly more than four in 10 employers say they will use "different" recruiting tactics(策略)to
reach Generation Y, according to a survey by job-search site Monster.com to be released today.
Of those respondents, almost 60% say social-networking sites are popular tools to reach Gen Y
candidates.
     "Our reason for using social media is because that's where we think the candidates are," he says.

     In 2010, UPS used those tactics to recruit 955 employees. The year before, it hired 29
employees through those means.Ks5u
     "It's a time investment(投资)that you have to be willing to do," he says. "You can't just have
a page up there and not have content. In social media, you have to have a give and a take, or
people won't be a part of your community."

A. newspapers  
B. magazines  
C. the Internet  
D. radios
2.Why do many companies use social-networking sites to recruit graduates?
A. Because they have no other way to get in touch with graduates.
B. Because graduates tend to learn about employers through social media.

阅读理解。
     Economics has long been known as an unpleasant science. But is any economist so dull as
to criticize Christmas? At first glance, the holiday season in western economies seems a treat
for those who are concerned with such things as GDP growth. After all, everyone is spending;
in America, sellers make 25 % of their yearly sales and 60 % of their profits between Thanksgiving
and Christmas. Even so, economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases
being made.
     Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves
the giver's thinking of something that the receiver would like - he tries to guess her preferences,
as economists say - and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is
often done badly. Every year, ties go unworn and books unread. And even if a gift is enjoyed, it
may not be what the receiver would have bought if they had spent the money themselves.
     Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, then an economist
at Yale University, attempted to estimate the disparity(差距) in dollar terms. He asked students
two questions at the end of a holiday season: first, estimate the total amount paid (by the givers)
for all the holiday gifts you received; second, apart from the emotional value of the items, if you
did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were unpleasant:
on average, a gift was valued by the receiver well below the price paid by the giver.
     The most conservative(保守的) estimate put the average receiver's valuation at 90% of the
buying price. The missing 10% is what economists call a deadweight loss(无谓损失)because it's
a waste of resources that could be avoided without making anyone poorer. In other words, if the
giver gave the cash value of the purchase instead of the gift itself, the receiver could then buy what
he/she really wants and be better off for no extra cost. It suggests that in America, where givers
spend $40 billion on Christmas gifts, $ 4 billion is being lost annually in the process of gift giving.
Add in birthdays, weddings and non Christian occasions, and the figure would balloon. So should
economists call for an end to gift giving, or at least press for money to become the gift of choice?
1. Why do some people regard the holiday season in western economies a treat?
A. Because the economic situation in US has been depressing.
B. Because American sellers make a quarter of their yearly sales through holiday seasons.
C. Because holiday spending can speed up GDP growth.
D. Because sellers can make as much profit as 60 % every holiday season.
2. What's the main idea for the second paragraph?
A. In many cases the gifts cannot meet the receivers' needs.
B. The purchases made over holiday season are actually a waste of money.
C. It's really not easy to guess the others' preferences.
D. Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others.
3. The purpose of Joel Waldfogel's study is to _____.
A. prove the mismatch between wants and gifts
B. estimate the disparity (差距) between wants and gifts in economic terms
C. spark new ideas of economic studies on holiday spending
D. discover the exact cost of holiday spending on gift giving  
4. Economists think of the misusing 10% of holiday spending as a deadweight loss because_______.
A. the cash value of the purchase is lower than the buying price
B. it is actually a waste of resources in economic terms
C. with the money the givers can be better off for no extra cost
D. it makes many people even poorer for spending more on unwanted gifts
5. According to the passage altogether how much money is wasted every year on gift giving?
A. About $4 billion.
B. About 10% of the total value.
C. About $40 billion.  
D. Much more than $4 billion.

     During the past few years,scientists the world over have suddenly found themselves productively
engaged in the task they once spent their lives avoiding-writing,any kind of writing,and particularly letter 
writing.Encouraged by electronic mail's surprisingly high speed,convenience and economy,people who
never before touched the stuff are regularly,skillfully,even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of
correspondence.
     Electronic networks,woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days are the route to
colleagues in distant countries to share data,bulletin boards and electronic journals.Anyone with personal
computer,a modem and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on.An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day,most of them communicating through bundle of
interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the Internet,or net.
     E-mail is starting to edge out the fax,the telephone,over-night mail,and of course,land mail.It shrinks
time and distance between scientific collaborators,in part because it is conveniently asynchronous (writers
can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep;their message will be waiting).If it is not yet
speeding discoveries,it is certainly accelerating communication.

     Jeremy Bernstei,the physicist and science writer,once called E-mail the physicist's umbilical cord (生命线).Lately other people,too,have been discovering its connective virtues.Physicists are using it;college
students are using it;everybody is using it,and as a sign that it has come of age,the New Yorker has
celebrated its liberating presence with a cartoon-an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard,saying
happily,"On the Internet nobody knows you're a dog."

1.The reasons given below about the popularity of E-mail can be found in the passage except         .
A.direct and convenient
B.time-saving in delivery
C.money-saving
D.available around the clock
2.How is the Internet or net explained in the passage? 
A.Electronic routes used to fax or correspond overnight.
B.Electronic routes used to read home and international journals.
C.Electronic routes waiting for correspondence while one is sleeping.
D.Electronic routes connected among millions of users home and abroad.
3.Which statement is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in the third paragraph? 
A.It shrinks time for communication and accelerates discoveries.
B.Although it does not speed up correspondence,it helps make discoveries.
C.It quickens communication even if it does not accelerate discoveries.
D.The quick speed of correspondence may have ill effects on discoveries.
4.The writer mainly tells that         in the last paragraph.
A. E-mail is nowadays becoming a trend
B. E-mail can sometimes be unreliable
C. the presence of E-mail deserves a discussion
D. E-mail users often ignore its disadvantages
