[单项选择] Passage Four
Adam Smith was the founder of economics as a
distinct field of study. He wrote only one book on the subject — The Wealth of
Nations, published in 1776. Smith was 53 years old at the time. His friend David
Hume found the book such hard going that he doubted many people would read it.
But Hume was wrong — people have been reading it for more than 200 years
now.
The Wealth of Nations, in Smith’s view, was the result not
of accumulating gold or silver, as many of that time believed, but of ordinary
people working and trading in free markets. To Smith, the remarkable thing about
the wealth produced by a market economy is that it does not result from any
organized plan, rather, it is the unintended outcome of the actions of many
people, each of whom is pursuing the incentives the market offers with his or
her own interests in mind.A. Adam Smith was an economist.
B. Adam Smith wrote some books on economics.
C. David Hume was the co-author of the Wealth of Nations.
D. the Wealth of nations was published in 1976.

So he called a lawyer. The result was a contract. According to the document, the
fresh-faced bride agreed to pay a fine for each pound she gained in weight, the
money refundable upon its loss. The paper signed, and the wedding went
on.
This is a prenuptial (婚前的)agreement—one more indication of
the strange pass of marriage in this most transactional decade. You are welcome
to marriage, contractual style, where increasingly detailed legal documents
spell out everything from who’s going to do the dishes to who’s going to get the
house when you split.
This is family planning taken to extreme.
Once employed solely by the rich, second-timers and the old industrialist
carrying off the latest young cookie, the prenuptial agreement—a written pact
between a couple outlining the financial obliga
A. is a part of a comedy film
B. is something rare
C. is something real and becoming common daily
D. is ridiculous

[单项选择] Passage Four
Mr. And Mrs. Smith had always spent
their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn at the
foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his
business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while
they went touring around that famous city.
They flew to London
and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have
to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey no meals were
served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them
in the hall asked whether they would ask dinner there that night.
"Are you still serving dinner" asked Mr. Smith.
"Yes,
certainly, sir," answered the man. "We serve it until half past nine."
"What are the times of meals then" asked Mr. Smith.
"Well, Sir,"
A. no meals were served after seven
B. dinner was still being served after seven
C. their plane had arrived too late
D. they had to go bed hungry
