Part 1·Read the following passage. Eight sentences have been removed from the article.·Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap.·For each gap (1-8) mark one letter (A-H) on the Answer Sheet..Most people associate inflation with price increases on specific goods and services. (1) We must be careful to distinguish the phenomenon of inflation from price increases for specific goods. (2) Suppose you wanted to know the average price of fruit in the supermarket. (3) You might have some success, however, if you sought out the prices of apples, oranges, cherries, and peaches. Knowing the price of each kind of fruit, you could then compute the average price of fruit. The resultant figure would not refer to any particular product, but would convey a sense of how much a typical basket of fruit might cost. (4) On occasion, you might even notice that apple prices rose while orange prices fell, leaving the average price of fruit unchanged.The same kinds of calculations are made to measure inflation in the entire economy. We first determine the average price of all output—the average price level—then look for changes in that average. (5) The average price level may fall as well as rise. (6) The deflation occurs when price decreases on some goods and services outweigh price increases on all others.(7) We already noted, for example, that the price of apples can rise without increasing the average price of fruit, so long as the price of some other fruit (e.g. oranges) falls. (8) An increasing in the relative price of apples, for example, simply means that apples have become more expensive in comparison with other fruits (or any other goods or services). (8) should choose （）

Part 3Questions 1-7Directions: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer from A, B, C and D.At the time Jane Austin’s novels were published — between 1811 and 1818 — English literature was not part of any academic curriculum. In addition, fiction was under strenuous attack. Certain religious and political groups felt novels had the power to make so-called immoral characters so interesting that young readers would identify with them; these groups also considered novels to be of little practical use. Even Cole ridge, certainly no literary reactionary, spoke for many when he asserted that "novel-reading occasions the destruction of the mind’s powers."These attitudes toward novels help explain why Austin received little attention from early nineteenth-century literary critics. (In any case, a novelist published anonymously, as Austin was, would not be likely to receive much critical attention.) The literary response that was accorded her, however, was often as incisive as twentieth-century criticism. In his attack in 1816 on novelistic portrayals "outside of ordinary experience", for example, Scott made an insightful remark about the merits of Austin’s fiction. "Her novels", wrote Scott, "present to the reader an accurate and exact picture of ordinary everyday people and places, reminiscent of seventeenth-century Flemish Painting." Scott did not use the word "realism", but he undoubtedly used a standard of realistic probability in judging novels, the critic Whately didn’t use the word realism either, but he expressed agreement with Scott’s evaluation, and went on to suggest the possibilities for moral instruction in what we have called Austin’s realistic method. "Her characters", wrote Whately, "are persuasive agents for moral truth since they are ordinary persons so clearly evoked that we feel an interest in their fate as if it were our own." "Moral instruction", explained Whately, "is more likely to be effective when conveyed through recognizably human and interesting characters than when imparted by a sermonizing narrator". Whitely especially praised Austin’s ability to create characters who "mingle goodness and villainy, weakness and virtue, as in life they are always mingled." Whitely concluded his remarks by comparing Austin’s art of characterization to Dickens’, stating his preference to Austin’s.Yet the response of nineteenth-century literary critics to Austin was not always so laudatory, and often anticipated the reservations of twentieth century critics. An example of such a response was Lewes’ complaint in 1859 that Austin’s range of subjects and characters was too narrow. Praising her verisimilitude, Lewes added that nonetheless her focus was too often upon only the unlofty and the commonplace. (Twentieth-century, Marxists, on the other hand, were to complain about what they saw as her exclusive emphasis on a lofty upper-middle class.) In any case, having been rescued by some literary critics from neglect and indeed gradually lionized by them, Austin steadily reached, by the mid-nineteenth century, the enviable pinnacle of being considered controversial. According to the passage, the lack of critical attention paid to Jane Austin can be explained by all of the following nineteenth-century attitudes toward the novel EXCEPT the （）.
