第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Tae kwon do is the Korean martial（军事的）art of hand-to-hand combat（战斗）． Maybe that should really be body-to-body combat because in tae kwon do the whole body must be trained to properly defend and attack．There are some similarities between tae kwon do and other martial arts．
For example，tae kwon do uses quick straight-line moves which can also be found in Japanese martial arts，but tae kwon do also uses flowing circular moves like the type of moves found in Chinese martial arts．The main difference between tae kwon do and other martial arts is the powerful kicking technique which tae kwon do uses．This is where the name tae kwon do comes from．In Korean， tae means"to kick"，kwon means"to strike with the hand"，and do means"art"．Therefore，tae kwon do can be translated as"the art of kicking and punching"．
Paintings found on the walls and ceilings of ancient Korean tombs in-dicate that tae kwon do，or something similar to it，has been practiced in Korea since about 50 B．C．Also， records of a specially trained group of young warriors called Hwarang explain how these young men were taught taek kyon（an early form of tae kwon do）along with history，philosophy，ethics，archery，riding，and sword fighting．Members of the Hwarang were also encouraged to travel throughout Korea in order to learn about the people who lived in all regions of the country．This helped spread the practice of taek kyon throughout Korea．Eventually taek kyon，which was practiced for exercise and sport was replaced by subak，another martial art ．The purpose of subak was specifically fighting，so members of the military were required to learn it．However，people's interest in subak died out over time．By the 1800s，few Koreans actually practiced subak．After Korea was invaded in 1909，authorities put an end to the practice of all martial arts in the country．In the long run， this ban actually led to increased interest in martial arts，and secret groups began to practice subak again in the Buddhist temples hidden high in the mountains in Korea．After Korea gained its independence again in 1948，interest in many forms of martial arts grew around the country．The Korean Tae Kwon Do Association was formed in 1961，and this was followed by the World Tae Kwon Do Federation in 1973．
Today，tae kwon do enjoys great popularity around the world．More than 20 million people practice tae kwon do in more than 120 countries． Tae kwon do was also made an official demonstration sport in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul，Korea．

From the earliest times，man has been interested in art．People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures．
Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris，France．The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries．
The Louvre has not always been a museum．The first building was a fort（炮台）．In 1190，it was the king's castle with high walls and a round tower．It had a moat to keep out his enemies．
Over the years，the number of buildings around the castle grew．By 1350，the castle was no longer needed as a fort．The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens．
During times of peace，new treasures were brought in．During days of war，many treasures were stolen，and the buildings were damaged．
When Francis I became king of France in 1515，he brought in artists from many countries．One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy．Da Vinci's"Mona Lisa"is the best known painting in the museum today．

In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent –controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.
Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low – paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.
Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.
Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.
51.There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may ____________.
A. cause a shortage of apartments
B. worry those who rent apartments as homes
C. increase the profits of landlords
D. encourage landlords to invest in building apartment
52. According to the critics, rent control _______________.
A. will always benefit those who rent apartments
B. is unnecessary
C. will bring negative effects in the long run
D. is necessary under all circumstances
53. The problem of unemployment will arise ____________.
A. if the minimum wage is set too high
B. if the minimum wage is set too low
C. if the workers are unskilled
D. if the maximum wage is set
54. The passage tells us ____________.
A. the relationship between supply and demand
B. the possible results of government controls
C. the necessity of government control
D. the urgency of getting rid of government controls
55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.
B. Minimum wage can not always protect employees.
C. Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.
D. Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.
