This was mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a--- 27 ingredient in residue (残留物) from 5000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While excavating two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered fragments from pots and ve__ .

They --may be ancient “beer-making tools,” and the earliest 29evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To 30that hypothesis, the team examined the yellowish, dried 31 inside the vessels. The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like barley (大麦), and about 10% were bits of roots, 32 lily, would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: the crop was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn’t become a 33food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have 34in the region not as food, but as35material for beer brewing.

Within a year some 200 people carried the world's first multi-use card. For an annual fee of $5, these card holders could charge meals at 27 restaurants in and around New York City. By the end of 1951 more than a million dollars had been charged on the growing number of cards, and the company was soon turning a profit.
The problem was to persuade enough people to carry the cards. Diners Club turned to promotions. It gave away a round-the-world trip on a popular television show. The winners charged their expenses and made it "from New York to New York without a dime in their pocket". By 1955 the convenience of charging was catching on in a big way.
The first to turn a profit was Bank of America's Bank Americard. Bankers from all over the country descended on its California headquarters to learn the secret of its success—so many that in 1966 Bank Americard began forming alliances with banks outside the state.
Five million holiday credit card shoppers would have created a bonanza for banks, but in the dash to market, the banks had been less than cautious in assembling their lists. Some families received 15 cards. Dead people and babies got cards. Hundreds of Chicagoans discovered they could use or sell a card they "found" and by law, the person whose name appeared on it was liable for the charges—even if he or she had never requested of received the card.
The disaster sparked a movement to regulate the industry. Public Law 91-508, signed by President Nixon in October 1970, prohibited issuers from sending cards to people who hadn't requested them at all but eliminated card-holder liability for charges on a card reported lost or stolen. Later, the Fair Credit Billing Act set standard procedures for resolving billing disputes.
Of course, Credit cards have not only replaced cash for many purposes, but also in effect have created cash by making it instantly available virtually everywhere. Experts estimate there are from 15,000 to 19,000 different cards available in his country.
So the revolution that began in 1949 with an embarrassed businessman who was out of cash now seems complete. What Alfred Bloomingdale, then president of Diners Club, predicted more than 30 years ago seems to have come true: an America where "there will be only two classes of people—those with credit and those who can't get them."
When did American begin to love credit card？
A．In 1949.
B．In 1955.
C．In 1970.
D．In 1951.
A.John Tsang warned the big developers．
B.Hong Kong officials expected to avoid negative effects of property bubbles．
C.Donald Tsang claimed that cool prices would be adopted．

听力原文： Identity theft is considered one of the top crimes in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that ten million Americans become victims of identity theft each year. (32) Identity thieves steal personal information. They collect Social Security numbers, banking records and telephone numbers. They use this information to request loans or get credit cards in the name of the victim. Identity thieves spend a lot on goods or services without paying for them. F.T.C. officials estimate more than fifty-two thousand million dollars in goods and services were purchased last year through identity theft. (33) Victims of identity theft can spend years attempting to re-establish their financial history and good name. Identity thieves use several methods to get what they need. They may trick people into giving personal information over the telephone. They also may steal documents containing such information. (34) Activist groups have called for new laws to protect the public from identity theft. Recently, a committee of the United States Senate said it would hold hearings on the issue. Two cases of identity theft helped the committee to call the hearings. Last month, Bank of America said it lost computer tapes containing personal information for more than one million federal employees. Earlier, the Los Angeles Times newspaper reported that thieves stole about one hundred fifty thousand personal records from Choice Point Incorporated. (35) American lawmakers will consider plans to increase monitor of companies that collect personal information. Several plans have been proposed to help individuals whose personal information was stolen.

A．Banking cards.
B．Personal belongings.
C．Personal information.
D．Valuable goods.
？Which article (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement 1—8 refer to？
？For each statement 1—8, mark one letter (A, B, C,D or E) on your Answer Sheet.
？You will need to use some of these letters more than once.
A
According to the statistics of the Organization of Trade and Development of the United Nations, there are several swindling acts each month and swindling causes a loss of up to billions of US dollars annually. In 1959,the swindle of Coffee in Costa Rica paralyzed the country's economy for a certain period of time. At the urgent request of the international business community, the Organization of Trade and Development of the United Nations held two special meetings in 1984 and 1985 in Geneva to deal with the problem, but no agreement were reached.
B
Generally speaking, there is little opportunity for the swindlers to take advantage in the trading of complete sets of equipment or transfer of technology, while commodity transactions are most vulnerable to swindling. As long as such commodities as steel, cement, fertilizer and chemicals are identical in specification, model, pattern, or chemical composition, as long as the price is favorable and delivery is prompt, the buyer seldom sends any mission abroad to inspect the goods. Swindlers often take advantage of these factors and resell the goods to make profits.
C
Swindlers can also, by taking advantage of natural calamities such as storm and submerged reefs, forge and reported sea accidents. Then, they remove and resell the goods for huge profits. Since the cargo is not received, the buyer claims against insurance company. Therefore, the final victimized is the insurance company. Generally speaking, the carrier, captain and seaman collaborate with one another to commit this kind of economic crime. Afterwards, they sell the ship and the goods and abscond. If goods are carried on the ship, the insurance is one of the victims in this case.
D
The criminals sometimes swindle money from the buyer by forging commercial documents. Upon presentation of the bill of lading, the buyer cannot get the goods after he has paid according to the contract. The seller can sometimes lose money in a contract that stipulates payment after the arrival of goods or by bank collection. In most cases, the criminals first win the seller's trust by doing some successful trade transactions with him. Then he manages to acquire a large deal by signing a contract that stipulates payment after the arrival of the goods or by bank collection. As soon as he receives the goods, the buyer sells the goods and absconds with the money.
E
In order to prevent international swindling, we suggest the following measures. Firstly, we should promote education and maintain sharp vigilance in international trade transactions. Secondly, we should carefully investigate the credit status before the conclusion of a contract. Thirdly, we should draft every clause of the contract properly since the contract is the only legal document for the execution of transaction and the settlement of the dispute. Lastly, we should supervise the loading of the goods and keep a close watch on the movements of the carrying vessel.
The seller can also lose money in receiving payment by bank collection.

Having seen the damage caused by property bubbles， Hong Kong officials are determined not to have a repeat on their own patch．Last month the territory’s de facto central bank pushed banks into increasing the amount of cash they demand of homebuyers．John Tsang，Hong Kong’s usually tepid financial secretary，called in big developers to wain of government intervention if the housing market became“unfair’’0r“unhealthy”．0n November 2nd the territory’s chief executive，Donald Tsan9，vowed to cool prices．
The mounting disquiet reflects a huge jump in the price of property，particularly luxury fiats．Statistics compiled by CB Richard Ellis，an estate agent，show that prices of high—end flats have risen by 40％since January，and ate now just l3％below their 2008 pre—crisis peak．Some are once again priced at record levels．One flat，at 39 Conduit Road，was reported by the developer to have sold in October for HK $71，000（$9，200）per square foot．The spike in flat sales has propelled shares in property companies higher，t00．That，in turn，has prompted a flood of primary and secondary offerings in property—related shares．
The government’s warnings may be having an impact．Sale and purchase agreements in the territory fell by 24％month on month in October（though they were still up by 97％year on year）．But many flats have been pulled off the market in anticJIpotion of even higher prices，says Diana Lilauwala of At Home，a broker whose business finding homes for expats has been hit by a sudden paucity of supply．Unlike in 2008 current T，rices have little to do With expats and everything to do with local and．especially，mainland buyers．The government’s restrictions on leverage in property transactions may not help deter these customers．Some of them require mortgages—the percentage of mainland borrowers in Hong Kong has steadily risen over the past three years——but interest rates are low and many are apparently willing to pay cash．According to data from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority，the amount of money approved for mortgages has been declining in recent months even as prices have been going up．
Surging prices have sparked criticism in the local press about the affordability of housing in Hong Kong．They have also put a spotlight on developers’selling practices．The flat at 39 Conduit Road officially occupies the 68th floor，a lucky number for Chinese people，but that is only because 42 0ther floors were left out of the buildin9’s numbering system．（The one just above it is on the“88th”floor，an even more auspicious number）．Papers are filled with stories about tricks used to inflate the reported size of flats，in many cases to a multiple of the actual living space．
Most important，the property boom has increased scrutiny of the way the government controls land sales in Hong Kong．The annual production of new flats has been declining for years．In its yearly report on the territory，released on November 3rd，the IMF welcomed hints that the government might release more land for development． But the acquisition of developable plots is largely left to a few companies with lots of pricing power．More competition is needed．as well as more land．
The main reason why the centml bank forced the other banks to increase the amount of cash required from homebuyers last month is that 查看材料
