Passage 1 While anything can happen in the world of gold, no one expects bullion(金条, 金块)price to rise anytime soon.Desperation sales by Asian citizens and governments have been depressing gold prices for months.At this autumn's price of about $290 an ounce, gold is going for 10 percent less than last fall and 25 percent less than in 1996. American jewelry counters barely reflect that steep decline.A survey by the World Gold Council found that Americans paid about $83 for the typical piece of gold jewelry this summer, down about $2 from what they paid in 1996.Most retail jewelers have lowered prices,says Michael Paolercio, CEO of Michael Anthony Jewelers, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of gold jewelry.Have they lowered them dollar for dollar? No. Shoppers elsewhere buy gold jewelry with the sharp eye of an investor.But U.S.shoppers grab gold like blinded magpies(喜鹊), and they seem to disregard prices.In a 1997 survey of 2,107 Americans, the World Gold Council found that 85 percent didn't know about the daily price of gold.Worse, almost half of those who thought they knew were way off. As a result, the cheaper cost of raw gold has generally meant higher profits for retailers.Zale Corp., the nation's largest jewelry retailer, for example, saw profits rise 36 percent in the year ending July 31, while sales rose only 9 percent. The gold business has a long history of taking advantage of consumers.While today most jewelers won't outright lie, many hold back information to make it difficult to comparison-shop.When a U.S.News reporter visited 10 jewelers,

department stores, and discount outlets last week, only two shops were willing to reveal the weight of a gold necklace. Still, it is possible to buy low. 41.That the retail jewelry prices remain high in the United States can be accounted for by all of the following EXCEPT . A.Asian citizens and governments have been selling gold B.jewelry prices do not fall as much as gold prices do C.U.S.shoppers are not smart enough D.jewelry retailers get higher profits. 42.What does they(Par.2, last sentence)refer to? A.Retail jewelers. B.Prices. C.Jewels. D.Jewelry manufacturers. 43.What does way off(Par.3, last sentence)mean? A.Losing their way. B.Going out of their way. C.Not right. D.Going in the wrong direction. 44.What doesoutright(Par.5, sentence 2)mean? A.Rightfully. B.Wrongly. C.Directly. D.Openly. 45.The last paragraph is likely to be followed by . A.how to educate U.S.shoppers of gold jewelry B.techniques of buying gold jewelry C.techniques of investing in gold jewelry D.cases in which steep decline in gold prices lead to steep decline in jewelry prices Passage 2

The massive $206 billion settlement between the states and cigarette makers may accomplish many things, but preventing people——especially teens——from smoking is not likely to be among them.The deal contains few fresh approaches to solving one of the nation's most uncontrollable health care dilemmas.Just how uncontrollable the problem is became clear last week in a new study that surprised even the most experienced public health experts: It showed a sharp rise in smoking among college students, the one group of teens that in the past had resisted tobacco's temptations. Despite that plain reminder of tobacco's temptation, few chapters in the history of America's smoking wars were more important than a four-day stretch last week.On Monday, a group of state attorneys general at a crowded Washington press conference released details of the deal they had negotiated with cigarette makers to settle state lawsuits to recover the health costs of treating smokers. State officials, President Clinton, and even tobacco industry representatives enthusiastically acknowledged the agreement as a decisive achievement for fighting teen smoking.But the rhetoric(华丽的辞藻)that this was all for the kids was belied by what the deal left out.Unlike the $368.5 billion settlement between states and tobacco——which fell apart in June when Congress failed to approve——the new pact is softer on tobacco.There's no federal regulation of nicotine(尼古丁), as the original bargain stated firmly as a requirement.(As a result, Congress won't have a say in this deal.)Also missing this time: penalties for tobacco companies if teen smoking rates do not drop, and an end to cigarette vending machines(自动售货机), the easiest place for kids to buy cigarettes.Public health groups pledged to ask Congress for such tools to fight tobacco.The American Heart Association's Cass Wheeler summed up the public health community's mixed reaction to the settlement: Perfect? No.A beginning? Yes. 46. was theplain reminder(Par.2, sentence 1)。 A.That the problem became clear B.The study that surprised many C.The sharp rise in smoking among college students D.That college students had resisted tobacco's temptations 47.Cigarette makers would pay $206 billion to . A.smokers B.college students who smoke

C.the federal government D.the state governments 48.All of the following EXCEPT considered the agreement a great achievement. A.President Clinton B.the public health community C.state officials D.representatives of cigarette makers 49.What is belied(Par.3, sentence 2)most likely to mean? A.Contradicted. B.Revealed. C.Changed. D.Concealed. 50.Which of the following statements is true? A.The agreement would prevent teenagers from smoking. B.The agreement contains a few new approaches to smoking fighting. C.Congress was not asked to approve the agreement. D.The deal put an end to cigarette vending machines. Passage 3 The Internet can make the news more democratic, giving the public a chance to ask questions and seek out facts behind stories and candidates, according to the head of the largest US on-line service. But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future,Steven Case, chairman of America On-line, told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by The Freedom Forum(讨论会),though other speakers say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism, giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources. You don't have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four corners of that paper anymore, Sam Meddis, on-line technology editor at USA Today, observed about the variety of information available to computer users. But the speakers noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can
