D Cut in line 插队,加塞 purchase 购买 privilege 特权 say 比如 We’ve considered several ways of paying to cut in line: hiring line standers, buying tickets from scalpers (票贩子 ) , or purchasing linecutting privileges directly from, say, an airline or an amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals(道德 ) of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals (道德 )of the market (paying a price for faster service). Markets and queues — paying and waiting — are two different ways of allocating (分配 )things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, ―First e, first served, have an egalitarian (平等主义的 ) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets. The principle(原则 ) seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern (管理 )all occasions(场合 ). If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that es along, simply because it’s the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards(标准 ). Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply(应用 ). Think of the recorded message(录音信息 )you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold (等候接听 )when calling your bank: ―Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.‖ This is essential for the morals of the queue. It’s as if the pany is trying to ease our impatience with fairness. But don’t take the recorded message too seriously. Today, some people’s calls are answered faster than others. Call center technology enables panies to ―score‖ ining calls and to give faster service to those that e from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping. Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we allocate(分配 ) by merit(通过成绩 ), others by need, still others by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other nonmarket ways of allocating goods is so mon in modern life that we scarcely (几乎不 )notice it anymore. It is striking that most of the paid queuejumping schemes(计划 ) we’ve considered — at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors’ offices, and national parks — are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets have entered. to the author, which of the following seems governed by the principle ―First e, first served‖? A. Taking buses B. Buying houses C. Flying with an airline D. Visiting amusement parks example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 shows ______. A. the necessity of patience in queuing B. the advantage of modern technology C. the uncertainty of allocation principle D. the fairness of telephonic services passage is meant to ______. A. justify(证明是正当的 ) paying for faster services B. discuss the morals of allocating things C. analyze the reason for standing in line D. criticize the behavior of queue jumping 第二节(共 5小题;每小题 2分,满分 10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Public speaking Training Get a coach ____36_____, so get help. Since there are about a billion panies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you. Focus on positives Any training you do to bee more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren39。 t doing well. 37 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn39。 t do. ______38_______ If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it39。 s going to give you lots of dos and don39。 ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you39。 re going to be talking about. ____39 . As far as we39。 re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends. You are a special person not a clone Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 .。
