四、阅读理解
阅读理解：共15小题;每题3分，共45分。
1.Personal interviewing is most efective when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively small geographical area, Otherwise. the time and expense spent in travelling from one person to anotber makes this type of interviewing economically impractical.Personal intervicwing is usunlly used when the information needed is too complex to be gathered by anotber technique. For example. a problem being studied may require the interviewer to probe beyond the more superficial (表面的) answers that might be obtained with another method, It is sometimes assumed that personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques.Although personal interviewing may be accurate in many eases. human errors may prevent a researcher from obtaining valid results. Questions perceived by the interviewce(应试者)as an invasion of privacy ot threatening in any way will probably produce false or partially true answers. Also, since the interviewer must interpret the respondent's statements. a certain amount of information loss results even though the respondent may be answering truthfully. In spite of the problems. At least two major advantages are provided by research technique. First, the alert interviewer can generally tell if the respondent is being truthful or if he or she is giving superficial or untrue responses. Second, the interviewer can rephrase questions, give more explanation, or probe more deeply if the initial questions do not produce the information desired. As a result, the information gleaned should be more accurate than that provided by interviews where no one is present to clarify questions or to interpret answers.It can be concluded from the passage that when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively big geographical area____.
A.personal interviewing is most effective
B.personal interviewing is economically impractical
C.personal interviewing is the only technique to get information
D.telephone interviewing may not be used

5.Over 60 million persons in the United States own a credit card. For these millions of Americans a credit card is 'coined freedom'. It has had effect of increasing consumption possibilities for households by allowing them to purchase thousands of dollars of merchandise. ranging from autos. clothing, to electrical appliances. The widespread use of creditcard nowadays staggers the imagination to the point where one wonders whether the total amount of consumption spending each year would be the same if this 'plastic money' were not around, Credit cards have also been of significant importance to the national economy.Businessmen have been encournged to expand plant and equipment and hire additionat personnel to meet the heavy demand for their products, The tendency of employment and income would rise significantly. Unfortunately the ease with which buyers can increase their purchase with credit cards have caused them to overlook the additional costs.Purchase on credit cards are postponed payments. Buy-now pay later encourages buyers to use credit cards ,extencively.Since the buyer is in effect borrowing money for a special purposer he must expect to pay an interest charge. Interest is the price of using money over a long period of time. A close analysis of the use for credit cards for heavy purchases will show that the buyer has added to the cost of making these purchases. It must also be kept in mind that unpaid monthly balances means added interest charges. Furthermore. the use of credit cards will add to the most purpose of the product since the shopkeeper does not receive the money at the time of the purchase, Shopkeepers might add on the cost of handing credit cards to the bill. One of the arguments against the use of credit cards has been that those who do pay cash at the time if purchase finance the use of a credit card by another person.This is so, the argument runs, because the price of a product will include the cost of another persons use of a credit card.Which of the following is NOT true about credit cards?

9.Historians of womens labor in the United States at first largely disregarded the story of female. service workers—women earning wages in occupations such as salesclerk. domestie servant ,and office secretary. These historians focused instead on factory work ,primarily becouse it seemed so different from traditional. unpaid 'women's work'. in the home.and because the underlying economie forces of industrialism were presumed to be gender blind and hence emancipatory(解放的) in efect. Unfortunately. emancipation has been less profound than expected,for not even industrial wage labor has escaped continued sex segregation(隔离) in the workplace. To explain this unfinished tevolution in the status of women. Historiens have recently begun to emphasize the way a prevailing definition of femininity often determines the kinds of work allocated to women.even when such allocation is inappropriate to new conditions.For instance.early textile-mill entrepreneurs,in justilying women's employment in wage labor. made much of the assumption that women were by nature skillful at detailed tasks and patient in carrying out repetitive chores; the mill owners thus imported into the new industrial order hoary stereotypes associated with the homemaking activities they presumed to have been the purview of women. Because women accepted the more unattractive new industrial tasks more readily than did men. such jobs came to be regarded as female jobs.And employers. who assumed that women's 'real' aspirations were for marriage and family life.declined to pay women. wages commensurate with those of imen. Thus many lower-skilled , lower-paid.less secute jobs came to be perceived as 'female'.Job segregation by sex in the United States was____.
A.justified by early textile mill owners
B.one means’for women to achieve greater job security
C.reluctantly challenged by employers
D.a constant source of labor unrest in the young textile industry
10.Historians of womens labor focused on factory work as a more promising area of research than service-sector work because factory work_____.
A.involved the payment of higher wages
B.required skill in detailed tasks
C.was assumed to be less characterized by sex segregation
D.was more readily accepted by women than by men
11.It can be inferred trom the passage that early historians of women’s labor in the United States paid little attention to womens employment in the service sector of the economy because______ .
A.fewer women found employment in the service sector than in factory work
B.the wages paid to workers in the service sector were much lower than those paid in the industrial sector.
C.womens employment in the service sector tended to be much more short-term than in factory work
D.employment in the service sector seemed to have much in common with the unpaid work associated with homemaking
12.The early mill owners____.
A.hoped that by creating relatively unattractive female jobs they would discourage women from losing interest in marriage and family life
B.sought to keep womens wages low by intereasing the size of the available labor force
C.argued that women were inherently suited to do well in particular kinds of factory work
D.thought that factory work bettered the condition of women by emancipating them from dependence on income earned by men.
13.Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate,and each course which he attends gives a credit which may matter toward a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical eourse eonsists of three elasses per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester, Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semester seach year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course. though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course followed a student is given a grade. which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers, All this imposes a constant pressure affair. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective word of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academie authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the tules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to a later career.Normally a student would at least attend_____classes each week.
A.36
B.20
C.12
D.15
