阅读短文，判断句子正误，正确的写T，错误的写F 。

In recent years, the Chinese auto industry has seen rapid growth, with the demand on private cars rising sharply in Chinese cities since 2002.

By 2009, China has replaced the U.S. to become the world's largest auto market. As an important part of the world car industry, the global auto industry will shift further to China. This brings historical opportunity to China's auto market.

Currently, both the development of China's auto market and the changes in consumer demand for vehicles are ever -increasing. China's auto industry will continue to grow in the next decade. It means there is still huge room for its development. China has an urban population of more than 600million. It also has a huge agricultural vehicle market in the rural areas. Hence, there is no doubt for China's development of auto industry. That is also the reason why the world's auto producers are paying more attention to the Chinese market.

()26. The demand on private cars increased greatly in Chinese cities since 2002.

()27. China has become the world's largest auto market.

()28. China's auto industry tends to decrease in the next decade.

()29. China has an urban population of less than 600 million.

()30. The reason why the world's auto producers are paying more attention to the Chinese market is that China's auto industry developed very quickly.

听力原文：Yesterday we discussed the problem of rising prices, or, in the economist's terms

听力原文： Yesterday we discussed the problem of rising prices, or, in the economist's terms, inflation. We noted that, during periods of inflation, all prices and incomes do not rise at the same rate. Some incomes rise more slowly than the cost of living, and a few do not rise at all. Other incomes rise more rapidly than the cost of living.

We concluded that persons with fixed incomes, for example, the elderly who depend upon pensions, and persons with slow-rising incomes as, for example , an employee with a salary agreed to in a long-term contract, will be most seriously affected by inflation. Please remember that while their dollar incomes, stay the same, the cost of goods and services rises, and in effect, real income decreases, that is, they are able to purchase less with the same amount of money.

We also talked about the fact that stockholders and persons with business interests and investments would probably benefit most from inflation, since high prices would increase sales receipts, and profits would likely rise faster than the cost of living.

And now, before we begin today's lecture, are there any questions about the term, inflation or any of the examples given in our discussion so far？

What's the main purpose of the talk？

A．To introduce the concept of inflation.

B．To discuss the causes of inflation.

C．To review yesterday's lecture on inflation.

D．To argue in favor of inflation.

It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form. which actually humil

iates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces—things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.

It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform. innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.

Convenient flats, "motherly" visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one's fellows.

Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to ______.

A．talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not there

B．show sympathy for the old

C．take care of the old when they are not ill

D．pat the faces of the contemporaries

我们在例2.8讨论了近几年铜的全球需求的增加，部分归因于中国不断上升的消费。（1)利用初始的需求

我们在例2.8讨论了近几年铜的全球需求的增加，部分归因于中国不断上升的消费。

(1)利用初始的需求弹性和供给弹性(诸如，E_S=1.5且E_D=-0.5)，计算铜的需求增加20%对铜价的影响。

(2)计算该需求增加对均衡产量Q的影响。

(3)正如我们在例2.8中讨论的，美国铜产量在2000~2003年下降了。计算铜的需求增加20%(在1部分你做的)且铜的供给下降20 %对均衡价格和产量的影响。

In Example2. 8 (page 52), we discussed the recent increase in world demand for copper, due in part to China ' s rising consumption.

a. Using the original elasticities of demand and supply (i.e. E_s=1.5 and E_D=-0.5), calculate the effect of a 20 - percent increase in copper demand on the price of copper.

b. Now ealeulate the effect of this increase in demand on the equilibrium quantity, Q°.

c. As we discussed in Example 2. 8, the U. S. production of copper declined between 2000 and 2003. Calculate the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of both a 20 - percent increase in copper demand (as you just did in part a) and of a 20 - percent decline in copper supply.
