Passage 1

    The practice of chewing gum(口香糖) has been with us for more than a century. Millions of people all over the world chew billions of pieces of gum every year.
    Chewing gum became popular in the United States mainly because
of the work of one man, William Wrigley, who for many years was head
of the Wrigley Company. Earlier, Thomas Adams first began to
experiment with chewing gum in about the year 1870. It was he who first
made gum softer and pleasant to chew. But it was not until Wrigley
entered the business in about 1890 that people everywhere began to learn
about chewing gum and to use it widely.
    Wrigley liked to do things in a big way. In his first year, he borrowed
money and spent more than a million dollars on advertising (做广告).
For years, there was a large Wrigley’’s advedisement in every streetcar
(有轨电车) in the United States. People complained that they could not
go anywhere without seeing Wrigley’’s name. Wrigley even sent, free of
charge, pieces of gum to every person in the telephone book of every city
and town in the United States. Finally, he began to advertise that it was
good for the health to chew gum and that it helped to keep the teeth
clean.

    He used to send free gum to every child in the United States on his second birthday. He employed young women who, in beautiful dresses,
would go from city to city in groups of four or five, stand on street
corners, and give free chewing gum to every person who passed by. In
this way, each woman gave away about five thousand pieces of Wrigley’’s
gum every day. As a result of this continuous advertising, people in the
United States naturally began to buy more and more chewing gum.

1.Who first started to experiment with chewing gum?

2.Willam Wrigley spent more then a million dollars in advertising his chewing gum because ________________

3.Which of the following is NOT true of wrigley’’s advertising?

4.In the last parpgraph, the parase "give away" is closest in meaning to _____.

5.According to the passage, people in the US began to chew more and more gum mainly because of ______________.

Passage 2

   Land, unlike labor and capital, has a special feature: it is in strictly
fixed supply in total. So we say that its price is demand-determined. In
other words, the price of land is determined completely by what users are
willing to pay for it. But not all land is the same. Some land is more
valuable than other land. The value of land to a potential user may
depend on the characteristics of the land itself or on its location.
   Consider the potential uses of a piece of land in a suburb of Kansas
City. Alan wants to build a clothing store in that place. He estimates that he can earn $10,000 a year there because of the land’’s excellent location.Bella, another person, is also interested in buying the land. She believes she can earn $35, 000 a year if she builds a drugstore there. Clearly,Bella will be more likely to get the land.
    Because location is often the key to profits, landowners are often able
to squeeze their renters. One of the most popular locations in the Boston
area, for example, is Harvard Square. There are dozens of restaurants in
and around the square, and most of them are full most of the time. But
most restaurant owners there are not getting rich, for they have to pay
very high rents on the location of their restaurants. A large part of the
restaurats’’ earnings goes to renting the land.
    Although the supply of land is generally perfectly fixed, the supply of
land in a given use may not be so. As the population of a city grows,
housing developers find themselves willing to pay more and more for
land. As land becomes more valuable for development, some farmers sell
out, and the supply of land that can be used for development increases.

6.Which of the following is a special feature of land as mentioned by the writer?

7.According to the passage, the price of a piece of land may be determined by all the following EXCEPT_______

8.Bella is more likely get the land in Kansas City because_____

9.What does "to squeeze their renters" mean in the third paragraph?

10.According to the last paragraph, if a city’’s population grows,
