C The relationship between the home and market economies has gone through two distinct stages. Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes (eg. cloth making, sewing and caning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Though the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious(费力的)and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evident -- the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by [he home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them ( eg. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these result of industrialization, they would have to be got in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as in nursing the sick, became socially unacceptable ( and, in most serious cases, maybe less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of horse --'drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of background music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did 'not increase the options available to the home economy to either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in consumer goods, but not in creased flexibility, for the home economy in obtaining these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical(新古典主义的)model that views the family as deciding whether to produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot .accurately be applied to the second( and current) stage.
1. The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that ______.
A.it was a necessary step in the process of industrialization
B.they depended on electricity available only to the market economy
C.it was troublesome to produce such goods in the home
D.the marketplace was more efficient with respect to these processes
A B C D
D
[解析] 从文章第三句“Though the home economy could still produce these goods,the processes were laborious and the market economy was usually more efficient”得知本题答案为D。
2. It can be seen from the passage that in the second stage ______.
A.some traditional goods and services were not successful when provided by the home economy
B.the market economy provided new goods and services never produced by the home economy
C.producing traditional goods at home became socially unacceptable
D.the question of. whether new goods and services were produced by the home economy became irrelevant
A B C D
B
[解析] 从文章第四句“Soon,the more important second stage was evident--the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy,and the home economy was unable to produce them”和第五句“In the second stage,the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant”可知B是正确的。所以选项D是错的。A、 C与题干无关。
3. During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace ______.
A.as wage earners
B.both as manufacturers and consumers
C.both as workers and purchasers
D.as customers
A B C D
C
[解析] 从文章中“In order to consume these new goods and services,the family had to enter the market place as wage earners and consumers”得知。purchasers意为“购买人,买主”。

E Robert Spring, a 19th century forger(伪造者), did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by. selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs(亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating(模仿)signatures of George Washington and Ben' Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries(焦造品)to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger can't go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals. After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General" Stone Wall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's financial (财政的)problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.
