阅读下面的文字,完成下面小题。你愿意为一块霉菌付多少钱?也许你在出价之前希望获得更多信息,霉菌的大小、颜色和状态如何?这块霉菌的直径约为1英寸,颜色为灰绿色,位于两块玻璃片之间,由干净的胶带封装。霉菌很老,已经死了,它不会有任何实际用途,它对你的价值如何?你的估值很可能接近于零,你甚至可能会为了不把霉菌带回家而付钱。2016年12月7日,这块不可食用的真菌在纽约邦瀚斯拍卖会上卖出了46250美元。它被称为“原始青霉素霉菌文化”。1928年,医学研究员亚历山大·弗莱明(Alexander Fleming)正在研究葡萄球菌,这是一种导致咽喉疼痛、病肿和败血病的细菌。在休假结束时,弗莱明注意到,一个装有细菌的暗养皿发霉了——这是一次意外污染。值得注意的是,霉点周围有一个没有细菌的圆圈,莱明意识到,这些霉菌一定生成了某种杀灭或抑制细菌的物质。这种霉菌就是黄青霉菌,是得到科学理解的第一种抗生素来源,邦瀚斯拍卖会上的拍品是弗莱明1955年送给邻居的,因为邻居帮他阻挡了几个盗贼,这份样本由弗莱明签名,并且附有他和管家写给邻居的信。也许比你最初的估值多一点,你可能愿意为了拥有一段医学史而支付几百美元。如果你是一个精明的投资者,你甚至可能支付几千美元。但你不太可能支付46250美元。这个买家和其他竞拍者争取的是同一事物,他们对于霉菌的背景有着相同的认识。那么,为什么他们为它赋予了不同的财务价值?因为价格不等于价值。不同的竞标者为相同的拍品赋予了不同价值。我们可以将这些主观估值看作竞争性真相。一个人的估值可能低于另一个人的出价,但这并不意味着他是“错误的”。在拍卖会之外,我们往往认为商品或服务拥有固定价格,这个价格就是它的价值,不过,这个价格是如何确定的?许多人本能地认为,一辆汽车的价格应该接近于汽车内部材料和组装工作的成本,我们还会考虑到管理和营销成本,以及合理的利润空间,综合得出的就是这辆汽车的合理价格。不过,当我们考虑一些简单的例子时,这不想法就无法成立了,毕加索的油画是由一个人在几天内创作的,一架飞机的制造则需要几千个工时,为什么首者比后者贵?假设由200名工程师组成的团队花了很大力气开来了一块翡翠,而我在利比亚登山时发现了一块一样的翡翠,你会为前者支付更高的价格吗?如果1000人用一年时间制造了一台将冰块黏在一起的机器,他们的劳动会使这台机器拥有价值吗?正如每个例子展示的那样,定价不能仅仅基于生产工作,相反,一件事物的价格取决于人们共同认可的价值,和弗莱明霉菌的售价类似,它取决于我们的主观估值。以带有不锈钢钩环的50毫米标准杜领锁为例,如果我需要为存放所有个人财富的库房上锁,我可能愿意为这把锁支付很高的价格。不过,如果制造商仅仅根据我的情况定价,它就不可能卖出许多把锁。它还需要考虑为健身房更衣柜和后院里的用自行车的买杜领的人,或者将其锁在巴黎大桥上用作纪念的人,它需要考虑富人和穷人、匆忙的人和有时间转悠的人每个买锁的人愿意支付的价格可能稍有不同。根据所有这些不同的主观估值,经济学家推导出了“需求曲线”,当价格较低时,购买的人会很多;当价格上升时,潜在买家的数量会下降,经济学家将其与“供给曲线[1]”相匹配,后者描给了制造商愿意以不同价格生产和销售该商品的数量。理论上,供给曲线和需求曲线的交点是令供给和需求恰好相等的价格。所以,我们的主观估值——我们关于财务价值的竞争性真相——决定了市场价格[2]。此外,财务价值的竞争性真相对于贸易非常重要。我们交换或买卖事物的主要原因在于,我们对于它们具有不同的估值。如果苹果种植者对店内苹果的估值和顾客相同,他就不会卖苹果了。由于一个苹果对于农民的价值低于它对于附近厨师的价值,因此两个人可以找到一个都能接受的价格。世界上的大多数财富都是这样创造出来的,原油对于加利福尼亚土地所有者没有直接用途,但他可以用远高于自己主观估值的价格将其卖给炼油商。3亿个平板电脑对于电脑公司股东没有太大用处,但他们可以用低于我们个体主观估值的价格将这些设备卖给我们,使所有人感到满意。关于财务价值的竞争性真相使我们这个物种变得富有。(摘编自赫克托·麦克唐纳《后真相时代》,刘清山译)1. 下列对原文相关内容的理解和分析,不正确的一项是( )A. 对于一块没有任何实际用途灰绿色霉菌,即使了解其背景后,一般人应该也不太可能支付46250美元购买它。B. “这个想法就无法成立了”中的“这个想法”,指的是人们本能的认为商品或服务价格是成本与合理利润空间总和的价格。C. 毕加索的油画比一架飞机贵的例子与弗莱明霉菌的例子都说明了定价不仅取决于生产工作,还取决于人们共同认可的价值。D. 作者认为,就像顾客和农夫对于苹果估值不同从而保证了贸易进行一样,人们对于财务价值的不同估值,让人类这个物种变得富有。2. 根据原文内容,下列说法不正确的一项是( )A. 从霉菌的例子可以看出,即使对于同一种且有着相同了解程度的事物,不同人的主观估值也是不同的,但这其中并不存在谁对谁错。B. “我可能愿意为这把锁支付很高的价格”,可能是因为这把锁保护着“我”全部个人财富,“我”对它的主观估值很高。C. “描绘了制造商愿意以不同价格生产和销售该商品的数量”,可见与购买者一样,制造商们也会对商品进行主观估值,而这种估值也影响着市场价格。D. 从文中各个事例可以发现,价格不取决于事物本身的实际价值,而是由人们对于事物的主观估值决定,这种主观估值是维持市场价格的唯一决定因素。3. 下列选项,最适合作为论据来支撑第十段观点的一项是( )A. 马克思的价值理论:具体劳动[3]和自然物质相结合创造出商品的使用价值,抽象劳动[4]凝结在商品中才成为价值。B. 著名投资人菲利普·费舍曾批判:股市充斥一群人,他们晓得所有东西的价格,却不晓得任何东西的价值。C. 著名的经济学家乔治·阿克洛夫[5]提出了“柠檬市场[6]”理论,认为市场上存在信息不对称会导致市场价格失灵。D. 现代经济理论:客体对于主体表现出来的积极意义和有用性就是价值,它可视为是能够公正且适当反映商品、服务或金钱等值的总额。4. 经济学有另一个概念“客观估值”:所有世界上的物品,都是客观的、内在的、本质的,不以人的意志为转移的价值,而价格只是围绕这个本质的、客观的价值上下波动的一个现象。这一观点与文本内容不符,甚至相悖,请你结合此观点简要阐释本文中“主观估值”的特征。5. 作者怎样证明人们的主观估值影响价格?请根据文本概括。

"Parents Want Individuals, Not Kids Who Obey." So read a newspaper headline. This reporting was based on the results of a survey done in New Zealand, which revealed that only 22 percent of respondents (问卷调查答卷人) think children should be taught obedience at home, and that most parents today believe it is far more important to teach children such things as good manners, independence and _______ 1 _______.But does it mean that childhood obedience can simply be _______ 2 _______ as something old-fashioned or out-of-date? Or should obedience be among the most important lessons that children should learn and will benefit from? The wiser choice is the latter. To begin with, when obedience at home is concerned, it makes good sense that parents have the advantage of age and experience. Though they may not know well about how to help their children learn better in school, they are likely to know a lot about how to _______ 3 _______ life’s problems. Young people, on the other hand, often lack the mental _______ 4 _______ for well-balanced thinking. Hence, they tend to be _______ 5 _______ in decision-making and yield to negative peer pressure, which, in turn, may _______ 6 _______ their mental development.The benefits of obedience go far beyond the parent-child relationship. For human society to function smoothly and productively, there must be cooperation, which also requires a measure of obedience. For instance, in a marriage, it is the readiness for one to yield, rather than being demanding and _______ 7 _______ to the feelings of the other, that results in a happy, peaceful and _______ 8 _______ relationship. And in a workplace, people who disobey authority and rules are often _______ 9 _______ from peer workers and find it hard to engage with any groups.So, the lesson of obedience learned in childhood can extend _______ 10 _______ throughout a person’s life. It remains important for parents to teach children obedience today.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
