单选题Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Human needs seem endless. (78) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs had fairly well been satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (79) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It ineludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

单选题A university graduate described as a "respectable and intelligent" woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of shoplifting for the second time in six months. Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops. Luz, who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth £9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9. Phillip Lemoyne, prosecuting, said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies' toilet in the store. When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms. She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said. He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions. Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that. "She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn't really have any explanation why she did this," Miss Duff said. "She didn't intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this." Judge David Azan fined Luz £50, and warned. "You've got a criminal record. If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have." Luz achieved a degree in design at a university in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her master's degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK.

单选题{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}
In ancient times the most important
examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and
Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving
speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages,
students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their
field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This
custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the
doctor's degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are
written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same
question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came
into existence with the great increase in population and the development of
modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed
exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a
group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations
teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One
type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal
with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the
teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer.
Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three
statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the
material properly.
