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). (6) should choose ()

A. Because inflation and deflation are measured in terms of average price levels, it is possible for individual prices to rise or fall continuously without changing the average price level.
B. A decline in average price is called deflation.
C. A rise in the average price level is referred to as inflation.
D. In such circumstances, relative prices are changing, but not average prices.
E. The economy is not necessarily experiencing an inflation, however, every time the price of a cup of coffee goes up.
F. Surely you would not have much success in seeking out an average fruit — nobody would be quite sure what you had in mind.
G. Inflation is an increase in the average level of prices, not a change in any specific price.

Part 2Questions 1-8·Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures are painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they want to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found in walls or caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in picture.2. About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the east began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used become a kind of alphabet.3. The Egyptians used to record information and tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modem comic-strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.4. By the year 1000 BC, people who lived in area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the alphabet is now used over the world.5. These days, we can write down a story, or record the information without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.Questions 14-18·Using the information in the text, complete each sentence 14-10 with a word or phrase from the list below.·For each sentence (14-18), mark one letter (A -G) on the Answer Sheet.·Do not mark any letter twice.
