第6题
According to preliminary market surveys, there are 10,000 would-be space tourists willing to spend $1 million each to visit the final frontier. Space Adventures in Arlington have taken more than 130 deposits for a two-hour, $98,000 space tour tentatively set to occur by 2005. This may sound great, but there are a few hurdles: Putting a simple satellite into orbit--with no oxygen, lift: support or return trip necessary—already costs an astronomical $2,200/kg. And that doesn't include the cost of insuring rich and possibly litigious (爱打官司的) passengers. The entire group of entrepreneurs trying to comer the space- tourism market has between them "just enough money to blow up one rocket".
The U.S. space agency has plenty of money but zero interest in making space less expensive for the little guys. So the little guys are racing to do what the government has failed to do: design a reusable launch system that's inexpensive, safe and reliable. Kelly Space's prototype looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket engines. Rotary Rocket in California has a booster with rotors to make a helicopter-style. return to earth. The first passenger countdowns arc still years away, but bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington arc already informally discussing flight regulations. After all, you can't be too prepared for a trip to that galaxy far, far away.
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Take Vacations in Space
B.Building Hotels in Space
C.Flight Regulations in Space Travels
D.Cost of Space Traveling

Assume U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) applies unless otherwise noted.
A company has equipment with an original cost of $850,000, accumulated amortization of $300,000 and 5 years of estimated remaining useful life. Due to a change in market conditions the company now estimates that the equipment will only generate cash flows of $80,000 per year over its remaining useful life. The company’s incremental borrowing rate is 8 percent. Which of the following statements concerning impairment and future return on assets (ROA) is most accurate? The asset is:
A. impaired and future ROA increases.
B. impaired and future ROA decreases.
C. not impaired and future ROA increases.

假定两个投资项目有相同的三个支付,但是每个支付相对应的概率各不相同,如下表所示:
(1)求每个投资项目的期望报酬和标准差。
(2)吉尔的效用函数为U=5I,式中,I为支付。她会选择哪个投资项目?
(3)肯恩的效用函数为U=,他会选择哪个投资项目?
(4)劳拉的效用函数为U=5I2,她会选择哪个投资项目?
Suppose that two investments have the same three payoffs, but the probability associated with each pay off differs,as illustrated in the table below:
a. Find the expected return and standard deviation of each investment.
b. Jill has the utility function U=5I, where I denotes the payoff. Which investment will she choose?
c. Ken has the utility function U=, Which investment will he choose?
d. Laura has utility function U=5I2,Which investment will he choose?

Women's education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school the prophecy (预言)becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ______.
A.troublesome
B.labor-saving
C.rewarding
D.expensive

Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can't hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.
Noise adds more tension to a society that already faces enough stress.
But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots(战车) from moving through the streets at night!
Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise—if we shout loudly enough about it.
Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?
A.Because the world is becoming increasingly noisy.
B.Because they have learned that noise is also is also a kind of pollution.
C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.
D.Because people knew little about noise before.
