Logical thinking is not necessarily related to the way we talk.

Non-standard varieties of human language are just as entertaining.

Public goods are those products from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one person’s utilization(利用)does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else’s enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is a public good. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefit--regardless of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with a public good. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense.Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic analysis has to be substituted(代替) for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.31. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?A. Mechanisms for safer navigation.B. The economic structure of the marketplace.C. A specific group of commodities.D.The advantage of lowering taxes.32. Which of the following would NOT be an example of a public good as described in the passage?A.taxi.B. A bridge.C. A fire truck.D. A stoplight.33. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “holds”?A. hasB. isC. graspsD. carries34. According to the passage, finding out the social costs of a public good is a ________.A. difficult procedureB. daily dutyC. matter of personal judgementD. citizen’s responsibility

问答题Culture is a bridge that connects people’s heart and emotions, a bond that enhances mutual understanding and trust between two states. Cultural exchange has a longer history than political exchange, a more profound impact than economic exchange. As time goes by, things begin to change. Many prominent figures and events will fade into history, but culture lives on. It gets ever stronger and vital with the passage of time, and has an enduring influence on the way we think and live. Different geographies have nurtured a variety of cultures, each with unique feature and attributes. They are like the shining stars in the sky, adding radiance to each other and illuminating the vast universe.
