[单项选择] Passage Two
Between the invention of agriculture
and the commercial revolution that marked the end of the Middle Ages, wealth and
technology developed slowly indeed. Medieval historians tell of the centuries it
took for key inventions like the watermill or the heavy plow to diffuse across
the landscape. During this period, increases in technology led to increases in
the population, with little if any appearing as an improvement in the median
standard of living.
Even the first century of the industrial
revolution produced more "improvements" than "revolutions" in standards of
living. With the railroad and the spinning and weaving of textiles as important

[单项选择] Passage Three
Friction between America’s military and
its civilian overseers is nothing new. America’s 220-year experiment in civilian
control of the military is a recipe for friction. The nation’s history has seen
a series of shifts in decision-making power among the White House, the civilian
secretaries and the uniformed elite (精英). However, what may seem on the outside
an unstable and special system of power sharing has, without a doubt, been a key
to two centuries of military success.
In the infighting dates to
the revolution, George Washington waged a continual struggle not just for money,
but to control the actual battle plan. The framers of the Constitution sought to
clarify things by making the president the "commander in chief." Not since
Washington wore his uniform and led the troops across the Alleghenies to
