Тема: The traditional economy



Раздел: Чтение

Средний уровень

69.Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement:

People who live in a traditional economy don’t have money because they don’t need it. They live lives of subsistence. That means they hunt, gather or grow only enough food to live. There is almost no surplus in the traditional economy, and there is almost no property. Families may own simple accommodation, but land is shared by all the tribe. Economic decisions are taken according to the customs of the tribe. For example, every family may need to give some of the crops they grow to the tribal leader, but keep the rest for themselves. They do it because the tribe has always done it. It’s simply a custom.

R. People in the traditional economy don’t obtain a lot of food.

J. People own much property in the traditional economy.

J. The chief of a tribe owns most land.

J. Families don’t give any of the crops to their leader.

70.Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement:

Custom, also, decides what jobs people do in the traditional economy. People generally do the jobs that their parents and grandparents did before them. Anyway, there aren’t many jobs to choose from in the traditional economy. Men are hunters, farmers or both. The woman’s place is at home looking after children, cooking and home-making. This division of labour between men and women is another characteristic of the traditional economy. Whatever the work is, and whoever does it, you can be sure it’s hard work. This is because traditional economies have almost no technology. Physical strength and knowledge of the environment are the tools for survival.

R. Women work as housewives in the traditional economy.

J. There are lots of jobs in the traditional economy.

J. People don’t have to be physically strong in the traditional economy.

J. Men and women do the same jobs in the traditional economy.

71.Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement:

The traditional economy has its benefits and drawbacks. Probably the biggest benefit is that these are peaceful societies. People consume almost everything they produce and own practically nothing. They are equally poor. For all these reasons, war is almost unknown in these societies. People who live in traditional societies are among the poorest people in the world. Because there is no technology, people depend on nature to survive. They have no protection from environmental disasters like droughts and floods. They are always in danger of hunger and disease.

R. People in the traditional economy don’t own anything.

J. The traditional economy is perfect.

J. People are often at war in the traditional economy.

J. People in the traditional economy are never hungry or ill.

Тема: The market economy

Раздел: Чтение

Средний уровень

89. Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and answer the question:

The market economy is sometimes called the free market. It is not controlled in any way by a government. It is also free from the influence of custom or tradition. In a free market, the only reason why things are bought and sold is because there is demand for them. Prices for goods and services are simply what people are prepared to pay. The market economy is not really controlled by anyone. It controls itself.

Why do people buy and sell things in a free market?

R. People need these things.

J. People control the market economy.

J. It is a tradition.

J. People like the prices.

90. Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement:

Competition exists in a free market because, theoretically, anyone can be a producer. This means that companies have to compete with each other for a share of the market. Competition is good for consumers because it helps to control prices and quality. If customers aren’t happy with a product or service, or if they can’t afford it, they will go to a competitor.

R. If a company wants to be successful it has to be competitive.

J. Competition cannot control prices.

J. Companies don’t need a share of the market.

J. Customers go to a competitor when they like a product.

91. Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement:

Technology exists in a free market because producers need ways to reduce their costs. They cannot buy cheaper raw materials. Instead, they must make better use of time and labour. Technology is the use of tools and machines to do jobs in a better way. This helps companies produce more goods in less time and with less effort. The result: more profit.

R. Companies don’t need much time to produce lots of goods.

J. Producers don’t want to reduce their costs.

J. Technology doesn’t help to do jobs in a better way.

J. Producers try to buy cheaper raw materials.

113. Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement:

The planned economy is the direct opposite of the market economy. In the market economy, the forces of supply and demand decide everything: what is produced, how much is produced, the methods of production and the price. In the planned economy, all of this is decided by the government. In every way that the market economy is free, the planned economy is controlled.

R. The government controls the planned economy.

J. The planned economy is the same as the market economy.

J. Demand and supply are not important in the market economy.

J. The market economy cannot be free.

114. Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement:

In a planned economy “workers” wages depend on the service they provide to society. If people can live without service, you get paid less. This is very different from the free market. In the free market, someone’s salary mostly depends on the demand for his or her work. If people like what you do, you get paid more. The planned economy has many drawbacks. One of these drawbacks is problems with supply. It is difficult for governments of planned economies to know exactly how much to produce to meet demand.

R. Governments of planned economies may not know how much to produce to meet demand.

J. Your salary depends on the same things in both economies.

J. The planned economy is a good economy.

J. It’s impossible to live without service in a planned economy.

Тема: The mixed economy

Раздел: Чтение

Средний уровень

125. Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement

Economies mix government control and free market values in different ways. One way is to let privately owned businesses exist alongside state run industries. The economy becomes divided between the state sector and the private sector. The state sector often includes industries that the government thinks are important and need protection from the risk of the free market. These could include large industries that are important for a country’s economic health, such as oil, steel or agriculture. These are sometimes called primary industries because they provide basic materials to manufacturers.

R. Agriculture is one of the primary industries.

J. Government control and free market values are combined in the same way.

J. The state sector doesn’t include industries that need protection from the risks of the free market.

J. Oil industry doesn’t provide basic materials to manufacturers.

126. Задание {{ 1 }}ТЗ 1

Read the text and choose the right statement

Another way in which economies today are mixed is that governments put limits on free enterprise. For example, governments may decide to ban trade in certain goods if they are dangerous. They may also create laws to make sure companies trade honestly or to prevent monopolies. If a company has a monopoly, normal market forces do not affect it. This is bad for consumers and the economy in general. Governments may also regulate methods of production. They do this to guarantee that products are safe for consumers and to protect the environment.

R. A monopoly is bad for consumers.

J. Governments don’t ban certain dangerous goods.

J. Governments don’t regulate methods of production to guarantee that products are safe.

J. Governments never make sure companies trade honestly.
