The water is brought from the waterworks to each street by a large underground pipe—a water main. The water in this pipe is then forced by pressure into the smaller pipes which carry it to storage tanks at the tops of the buildings. Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.
When the water has been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipe. These take the waste water to another large pipe under the road—the main sewer. The waste water then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This "clean" water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some countries, sent back to the waterworks to be used again.
Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable. This cable may be underground or, in country districts, it may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. This meter measures the amount of electricity that is used in the building. Near the meter there is a master switch which can cut off the supply of electricity. There are also fuse boxes between the master switch and the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building. All these wires, fuses and switches are the "wiring circuit".
It can be inferred from this passage that______.
A．water and electricity are the only main services in our homes
B．the pipes bringing water to our homes are unimportant
C．water is less significant than electricity in our homes
D．we are unaware of how water or electricity is brought to our homes
Most of New Zealand's heavy machinery must be imported, but assembly (装配) plants make automobiles and trucks from imported parts. Woolen goods, carpets, clothing, shoes, furniture and electrical appliances are also manufactured. Imported petroleum (石油) is refined (精炼) at an oil refinery at Whangarei. An aluminum smelter at Blutt, near Invercargill, use hydro-electricity to refine one that is imported from Australia.
New Zealand's coal is used to generate steam, make gases, provide fuel for homes and factories and produce electricity. Sand and gravel (砂砾) used for road building and concrete (混凝土) construction, ranks second to coal. Limestone is used to make fertilizer and cement.
In the first paragraph, "sawmilling" refers to ______.
A．news-print industry
B．shoe-making industry
C．wood-processing industry
D．mineral refining industry
When you have a full tank of gas, park the car downhill. This will prevent any gas from coming out of the tank. Parking in areas of less or no sunlight helps prevent the gas from steaming that would occur if you parked in the hot sun. Your car will stay cooler, too, and that means less gas consuming work for the air conditioner once the engine is started.
Stay away from wide-track tyres if you want top mileage (汽车耗费1加仑油所行驶的路程) . Narrow-track tyres produce less friction and thus less rolling resistance. The same effect is achieved by adding three to five pounds above recommended pressure to each tyre: while this won't noticeably affect you car's sliding quality, it will increase tyre life and gas mileage.
Check tyre pressure often, especially when the weather turns cold. The difference between winter and summer tyre pressure can be as much as eight pounds. This could cost you two miles per gallon.
The main purpose of the passage is to tell us______.
A．how to drive faster
B．how to drive a car properly
C．how to make a car run smoothly
D．how to make your car consume less gas
The most important development, however, is a non-event: the collapse of global capitalism has not occurred. Instead, the post-crisis world is likely to be even more market-oriented than the one that preceded it, with a proliferation of new rules and practices that will help markets to operate more smoothly. The countries recovering best, such as Thailand and South Korea, are doing so by moving further in a free-market direction. None of the affected nations has tried to isolate itself from the global economy, and the widely feared worldwide wave of protectionism has not yet materialized.
Nor has there been the great rethinking of economic globalization that some feared and others advocated. The critics of global capitalism pounced on the crisis as proof of globalization's fatal flaws. Their analyses often concluded that "there must be something better." On the contrary, economists have taken free-market principles as the starting point for new ideas, not called them into question.
There has been much criticism of the so-called Washington consensus—the traditional free-market orthodoxy that uniformly prescribes fiscal discipline, deregulation, and financial liberalization. Partly as a result of the crisis, a new consensus simply adds extra prescriptions—such as better financial supervision, labor market, etc.—to the list. It is an elaboration of the original consensus, not a new departure.
Numerous studies also show that engagement in the global economy leads to higher growth and helps to reduce poverty in developing countries. Today's economic arguments are not over fundamental free-market policies, but what must be done to supplement them. Likewise, the efforts to devise a new "international financial architecture" in the wake of the crisis, due to continue during the spring meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Washington, will not involve rebuilding the system from scratch. The aim is to make incremental improvements in financial rules and practices that will oil the wheels of the market system, not to trade it in for a non-existent new model.
What is the main idea of the first paragraph？
A．After the severe Asian Financial Crisis, the world economy began to recover.
B．Asian Financial Crisis is as devastating as a neutron bomb and causes great damage.
C．There are still direct and indirect impacts so that the economy cannot recover.
D．The direct impact of Asian Financial Crisis has gone.

JON: Hello. I'm ringing just to make enquiries about renting a house. My name's Jon Anderson.
JANICE: Yes, Mr Anderson. What sort of thing were you looking for？
JON: Two-bedroomed house with garden.
JANICE: Well... yes, sir, that shouldn't be any problem... just to let you know that our
main areas, the main areas we deal with, are the city centre itself... 【Q1】
JOS: City centre.., uh-huh.
JANICE: And the north suburbs.
JON: Oh well.., we were most interested in the Northern areas actually.
JANICE: Right... yes... What sort of price were you thinking of？
JON: Well... could you give me some idea？
JANICE: Certainly. It really ranges from ￡250 per month. 【Q2】
JON: Only ￡250？
JANICE: Yes, to about ￡500 depending on a number of different factors.
JON: What does it depend on？
JANICE: Well, obviously the quality of the area. And then whether there's a garden. 【Q3】
JON: Well, as I said, we'd want a garden.
JANICE: And a garage pushes up the price.
JON: Right... well, we wouldn't necessarily need one. I think about ￡350 a month would be our limit.
JANICE: OK. Well... would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir？
JON: Yes, that'd be great.
JANICE: Looking at our files... I think we've got two which might suit you...

JANICE: And the second house is in Tithe Road. I'll just spell that for you... OK？
JON: Yep.
JANICE: T-I-T-H-E Road.
JON: Got that. And how much is that one？
JANICE: That's ￡380.
JON: 380. IS that including water？
JANICE: NO, I'm afraid not, but it does include the telephone rental. 【Q6】
JON: Oh well, that's not too bad then. So ....
JANICE: So, when would you be available to see them？
JON: Well, I'll be in town next week.., say... Thursday？

Wednesday afternoon？ 【Q7】

JANICE: Yes, fine. 5.00 it is. Just come to the Flagstone Offices.
JON: Oh, before I forget. What sort of things do I need to get done.., to rent with you？
JANICE: Well, the most important thing is a letter from your bank...
JON: No problem...
JANICE: And then a reference letter from your employer. 【Q8】
JON: Yes, that's OK.
JANICE: Great, and then we would need you to give 2 weeks' notice of moving in... 【Q9】
JON: Right... 2 weeks' notice. And what about a deposit？ 【Q10】
JANICE: That's one month's rent, whatever the amount is.
JON: OK. One month. Is that it？
JANICE: No, sorry, one more.., you will have to pay for the contract.
JON: Oh yes. I'd forgotten about that. OK, fine. So I'll start arranging those, and I'll...
JANICE: ... I'll see you next week.
JON: Yes. Thanks very much. Bye.
JANICE: Goodbye.
