Thus, a person has to work more hours to pay for the same items. For example, let’s say that this year a loaf of bread costs $1.00 and the average salary in the United States is $10.00 per hour. That means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread on one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes. Then, half way through the year, the price of the bread goes up to $1.25, while wages stay the same. That means that a person now has to work one-eighth of an hour –--- seven and a half minutes ---- to buy the same loaf of bread. Now let’s say that at the end of the year, wages go up to $11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. Now a person has to work more than one-seventh of an hour ---- over eight minutes --- to buy the same loaf of bread. Inflation means that the same money buys fewer things, and everybody’s standard of living goes down, even if salaries are going up. Are you clear about inflation now? If you have any questions, you can come to my office after class. Question 1. What is the main purpose of the talk? Question 2. What is inflation? Question 3. What happens when the prices go up but salaries remain the same? Question 4. Why does an employee’s standard of living go down when there is inflation? Question 5 Who is the speaker? (试题) 1. What is the main purpose of the talk? A. To list the major problems in the economy. B. To describe some effects of inflation. C. To explain why bread prices increases. D. To classify the types of inflation. 2. What is inflation? A. A situation in which prices are going down. B. A situation in which prices are going up. C. A situation in which prices remain stable. D. A situation in which wages increase very fast. 3. What happens when the prices go up but salaries remain the same? A. The government regulates the economy. B. People save money instead of spending it. C. Workers lose their jobs if they buy more things. D. People must work longer to buy the same things. 4. Why does an employee’s standard of living go down when there is inflation? A. The same money buys fewer things. B. The employee might lose his or her hob. C. The high price of bread means many people are hungry. D. The crime rate goes up. 5. Who is the speaker? A. A doctor. B. A teacher. C. An economist. D. A scientist. 第四部分（Part 4）:填空听写（Spot Dictation） 。共有 20 题，每题 1 分。 该部分题目为一段长度约 150 字的短文，要求考生根据录音填空，每空填一词。该 短文一共念三遍。其中，第一、第三遍以常速朗读，速度约 120 字/分钟；第二遍 逐句朗读，句与句之间有 10 秒钟停顿时间。考生听完录音以后，将单词填写在答 卷上。例如： （录音）A stock is a 1 of ownership in a business.
