Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect.A flood control dam is a public good.Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefit------irrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam.The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation.Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational purposes.National defense is another example.Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.
It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with a public good.There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense.Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic analysis has to be substituted for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.
1.With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
A.Mechanisms for safer navigation.
B.The economic structure of the marketplace.
C.A specific group of commodities.
D.The advantage of lowering taxes.
2.Which of the following marks the feature of public goods?
A.Each citizen has a share of the ownership of the commodity.
B.No one is excluded from the benefits of the goods.
C.People can enjoy the utilization of them if they contribute to it.
D.The use of them is determined by how much one pay.
3.According to the passage, finding out the social costs of a public good is a ().
A.difficult procedure
B.daily administrative duty
C.matter of personal judgement
D.citizen's responsibility
4.To find out the market for public goods, people need to ().
A.watch out for the necessary market signals
B.invent a practicable way of charging users
C.make impersonal judgement of the marketplace
D.do economic analysis of their costs and benefits
5.Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first two paragraphs?
A.Suggestions for the application of an economic concept are offered.
B.Several generalizations are presented from which various conclusions are drawn.
C.Persuasive language is used to argue against a popular idea.
D.A general concept is defined and then examples are given.

The immediate problem is poverty. Most of Africa is urbanising at a lower level of income than other regions of the world did. That means there's little money around for investment that would make cities liveable and more productive. Without upgrades and new capacity, bridges, roads and power systems are unable to cope with expanding populations. With the exception of South Africa, the only light rail metro system in sub-Saharan Africa is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Traffic jam leads to expense and unpredictability, things that keep investors away.
In other parts of the world, increasing agricultural productivity and industrialisation went together. More productive farmers meant there was a surplus that could feed cities; in turn, that created a pool of labour for factories. But African cities are different. They are too often built around consuming natural resources. Government is concentrated in capitals, so is the money. Most urban Africans work for a small minority of the rich, who tend to be involved in either cronyish (有裙带关系的) businesses or politics. Since African agriculture is still broadly unproductive, food is imported, consuming a portion of revenue.
So what can be done? Though African countries are poor, not all African cities are. In Lagos, foreign oil workers can pay as much as 65,000 dollars per year in rent for a modest apartment in a safe part of town. If that income were better taxed, it might provide the revenue for better infrastructure. If city leaders were more accountable to their residents, they might favour projects designed to help them more. Yet even as new roads are built, new people arrive. When a city's population grows by 5% a year, it is difficult to keep up.
76.What do we learn from the passage about cities in sub-Saharan Africa____
A.They have more slums than other cities in the world.

78.Why is sub-Saharan Africa unappealing to investors____
A.It lacks adequate transport facilities.
B.The living expenses there are too high.
C.It is on the whole too densely populated.
D.The local governments are corrupted.
79.In what way does the author say African cities are different____
A.They have attracted huge numbers of farm labourers.
B.They still rely heavily on agricultural productivity.
C.They have developed at the expense of nature.
D.They depend far more on foreign investment.
80.What might be a solution to the problems facing African cities____
