Supply and demand is perhaps one of the most basic concepts of economics and it is the backbone of a market economy. Demand refers to how much of a product or service is desired by buyers. The quantity demanded is the amount of a product people are willing to buy at a certain price; the relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand relationship. Supply represents how much the market can offer. The quantity supplied refers to the amount of a certain goods producers are willing to supply when receiving a certain price. The relationship between price and how much of a goods or service is supplied to the market is known as the supply relationship. Price, therefore, is a reflection of supply and demand.
The law of demand states that, if all other factors remain equal, the higher the price of a product, the fewer people will demand that product. The amount of goods that buyers purchase at a higher price is less as the price of a product goes up, so does the opportunity cost of buying that product.
Like the law of demand, the law of supply shows the quantities that will be sold at a certain price. But unlike the law of demand, the supply relationship shows an upward slope. This means that the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied. Producers supply more at a higher price because selling a higher quantity at a higher price increases the whole income.
Now that we know the laws of supply and demand, let’s turn to an example to show how supply and demand affect price.
Imagine that a CD of your favorite band is sold for $20. Because the record company’s previous analysis showed that consumers will not demand CDs at a price higher than $20, only ten CDs were sold because the opportunity cost is too high for suppliers to produce more. If, however, the ten CDs are demanded by 20 people, the price will then rise. As a result, the rise in price should cause more CDs to be supplied as the supply relationship shows that the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied. If, however, there are 30 CDs produced and demand is still at 20, the price will not be pushed up because the supply is more than the demand.
72. We know from the passage that changes in the prices of product cause changes in ______.
A. income and expense B. invention and production
C. market and society D. supply and demand

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills（读写能力）. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache.” said Lisa Myton, manager of the children’s department.
Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
56. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Children’s reading difficulties. B. Advantages of raising dogs.
C. Service in a public library. D. A special reading program.
57. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ________.
A. dogs are young children’s best friends
B. children can play with dogs while reading
C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
D. children and dogs understand each other
58. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea,” the writer means the library
____________.
A. uses dogs to attract children B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA
C. has opened a children’s department D. has decided to train some dogs

Rail passengers are being forced to pay thousands of pounds more in fares as a result of poor advice from the national telephone help line and individual stations, a consumer organization reveals today. Research by Which? found that in some cases passengers are being charged almost double the cheapest price because of errors made by staff.
Which? asked 25 questions of both station staff and the National Rail Enquiries （NRES） helpline. Only half of the 50 questions were answered correctly. If customers had followed all the advice given, they would have been ￡1,263. 60 worse off.
Bad advice was given for the cheapest fare for a single journey between
Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended. Passengers making a return journey between Swindon and Penzance twice in a week could buy a ticket from one company for ￡70 which would cover all the travel. But both NRES and station staff quoted ￡67 for each journey, making ￡134. However, the NRES website proved to be a much more reliable source of information.
Which? also checked “the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket” claims by five companies and found this was not always the case. On some services, prices went up and down at random.
Ithiel Mogridge, 52, gave one example of poor advice: “Last Christmas I found my brother a ticket on the train line. Come to travel from Blackburn to Yate. While the direct route was ￡51, this one involved a change in Newport and cost just ￡21. I emailed the details to him and his partner. They went to Blackburn station, where the clerk insisted the fare was ￡51.”
Malcolm Coles, editor of which.co.uk said: “Staff training needs to be improved. In the meantime, we’ve designed a checklist, available at which.co.uk / railadvice.”
72. According to the passage “which?” is a ________.
A. national telephone helpline
B. department under the British Rail
C. consumer organization
D. website under the National Rail Enquiries
73. When the author said that customers “would have been ￡1,263. 60 worse off”, he was telling us that customers would have _________.
A. saved ￡1,263. 60 if they had followed the advice
B. spend ￡1,263. 60 more than the lowest price
C. used ￡1,263. 60 for the survey of 25 questions
D. been cheated of ￡1,263. 60 from the poor advice
74. The phrase at random in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_________”.
A. casually B. purposefully C. exactly D. inevitably
75. The passage is mainly concerned with the phenomenon that __________.
A. rail passengers can get cheaper tickets if they book earlier
B. rail passengers are ill-treated by station staff
C. booking clerks and the telephone helpline offer reliable information
D. train passengers get bad advice on fares
