Text1

We began with an experiment.The man asked me to make a drawing on a blank piece of paper.I made a sketch of a creature I had invented some time ago to amuse my children. When I had finished,he asked me to cover the drawing with my hand.Then he asked me to concentrate hard and to try to transmit the thought of what I had sketched A minute went by with no result.He shook his head."it seems very complicated:is it a kind of amoeba?"" Slowly and hesitantly he began to draw the creature's right ear-the spot where I've always begin the drawing."you've got it."I said."Go on!"He completed the drawing quickly.I had carefully redrawn the picture in my mind as I tried to transmit it—which probably accounts for the identical starting point.

The man then demonstrated other power.He made the hands of my watch turn back two hours and the date go forward two days by stroking a coin placed over its face,explaining afterward that he derives power from metal.He had a little trouble trying to break my car key. However,he placed it against a metal radiator,and after a few seconds,said,“It is starting to go.The key snapped in two.

Then he tried to transmit a picture to me by telepathy.I attempted to make my mind receptive,but no image came into it.Feeling rather embarrassed,I just drew the first thing that came into my head:check mark.The man showed me the piece of paper he was holding. It contained a mirror image of the symbol I had drawn.It could be significant in this connection that the man is left-handed.

After I left the room,I began to sift my impressions.Only the day before,an acquaintance had warned me to watch carefully for sleight-of-hand tricks,especially as the man had earlier been a stage conjuror.I had to admit that most of the things had done could have been tricks.For instance,snapping the keys with his fingers and altering the hands and date on my watch with the winder would have been well within the ability of a skilled conjuror.But how could he have faked the drawing of what I had drawn?And if that feat was due to genuine telepathic power,the other demonstrations could also be genuine.

1.In line11,“derives”most nearly means________.

A.obtains

B.infers

C.connects

D.traces

2.It can be inferred from lines19-25that the telepathist's demonstrations would appear most convincing to a critical observer if the telepathist were to________.

A.provide more information about his background

B.critique the performances of other telepathist

C.perform in a rigorously controlled environment

D.talk about what he is doing as he performs

3.The"acquaintance"mentioned in line19can best be described as a_______.

A.skeptic

B.hypocrite

C.hoaxer

D.confidant

4.Which phrase best characterizes the author's general attitude in this passage?

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/83494527.html,plete indifferent

B.righteous indignation

C.cynical amusement

D.guarded acceptance

Text2

In the future the little privacy we now have will be gone.Some people call this loss of privacy"Orwellian",harking back to1984.George Orwell's classic work on privacy and autonomy.In that book,Orwell imagined a future in which a totalitarian state used spies, video surveillance,and control over the media to maintain its power.But the age of monolithic state control is over.The future we're rushing toward isn't one in which our every move is watched and recorded by an all-known government.It is instead a future of a hundred electronic monitors who constantly watch and interrupt our daily lives,and where threats to privacy find their roots in the free market,advanced technology,and the unbridled exchange of electronic information.

The problem with the word"privacy'"is that it falls short of conveying the really big picture.Privacy isn't just about hiding things.It's about self-possession,autonomy,and integrity.As we move into the computerized world of the21century,privacy will be one of our most important civil rights.But this right of privacy isn't the right of people to close their doors and pull down their window shades-perhaps because they want to engage in some sort of illicit or illegal activity.It's the right of people to control which details about their lives stay inside their own houses and which leak to the outside.

Today's war on privacy is intimately related to the recent dramatic advances in technology.Many people today say that in order to enjoy the benefits of modern society,we must necessarily relinquish some degree of privacy.If we want the convenience of paying for a meal by credit card,then we must accept the routine collection of our purchases in a large database over which we have no control.

This trade-off is both unnecessary and wrong.It reminds me of another crisis our society faced back in the fifties and sixties-the environmental crisis.Then,advocates of big business said that poisoned rivers and lakes were the necessary costs of economic development,jobs, and an improved standard of living.Poison was progress:anybody who argued otherwise simply didn't understand the facts.

Today we know better.Today we know that sustainable economic development depends on preserving the environment.Similarly,in order to reap the benefits of technology.It is more important than ever for us to use technology to protect personal freedom.

5.The passage indicates that privacy is_________.

A.less valued by people than it once was

B.difficult to maintain in the contemporary world

C.necessary for individual freedom

.a stumbling block to economic growth

6.In line18,the underlined"degree”most nearly means________.

A.stage

B.sequence

C.measure

D.standing

7.Lines18-20("If we….control")primarily serve to_______.

A.introduce an additional point

B.discourage a course of action

C.question a decision D illustrate a preceding statement

8.The statements in lines24-25("poison..facts")is intended to represent the point of view of ______.

A.big business

B.environment

C.the author

D.the public

9.The passage concludes by suggesting that if technology is to have a positive effect on people’s lives,then________.

A.individual rights must be expanded

B.protective measures must be taken

C.technological advances must be supported

D.further research must be found

10.The author supports the idea that privacy can be protected________.

A.at a modest cost to most business

B.with the help of new technologies

C.without giving up valued services

D.through appropriate government interventions

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey:but I like to do it myself can enjoy society in a room,but out of doors,nature is company for me.I am then never less alone than when alone.I cannot see the wit of walking and talking at the same time.When I am in the country,I wish to vegetate like the country.I like solitude,when I give myself up to it,for the sake of solitude;nor do I ask for"a friend in my retreat,whom I may whisper sweet.""Give me the clear blue sky over my head,and the green turf beneath my feet,a winding road before me,and a three hours'march to dinner and I begin to feel,think,and be myself again.Instead of an awkward silence,broken by attempts at wit or dull commonplaces, mine is that undisturbed silence of the heart which alone is perfect eloquence.

Others have different opinions."Let me have a companion of myself:says the novelist Lawrence Sterne,"were it but to remark how the shadows lengthen as the sun declines"It is beautifully said:but in my opinion,this continual comparing of notes interferes with the involuntary impression of things upon the mind and dilutes the experience.If you have to explain what you feel,it is making a tool of a pleasure.You cannot read the book of nature without being perpetually put to the trouble of translating it for the benefit of others.

There is one subject on which it is pleasant to talk on a journey.I grant,and that is.What one shall have for supper when we get to our inn at night.Every mile of the road heightens the flavor of the meal we expect at the end of it.How fine is it to enter some old town,walled and turreted,just at approach of nightfall,or to come to some straggling village,with the lights steaming through the surrounding gloom;and then after inquiring for the best entertainment that the place affords,"to take one's ease at one's inn!""These eventful moments in our lives history are too precious,too full of solid,heart-felt happiness to be frittered and dribbled away in solitude.

11.The author of the passage would agree with which of the following statements about traveling alone?

A.Its enjoyment is largely a matter of personal inclination

B.Its difficulties are easily underestimated by inexperienced traveler.

C.It enables one to make much better time than when traveling with a companion

D.It is not as much fun as traveling with another person

12.The statement in lines2-3(I am…alone")is an example of_________.

A.an apology

B.a metaphor

C.a paradox

D.a euphemism

13.Sterne mentions"the shadows(line11)as an example of a________.

A.specialized insight that only a seasoned traveler can bring to bear on a situation

B.observation that travelers might enjoy sharing nonetheless

C.thoughtless comment that travelers are apt to make to their guides

D.beautiful sight that cannot be communicated accurately to those who do not travel frequently

14.In the last paragraph of this passage,the author does which of the following?

A.admits to a sudden change of heart

B.notes an exception to a previously stated preference

C.expresses regret about an overly sweeping generalization

D.points out a common misconception

15.The physical description of the"town"(line18)and"village”(line19)primarily convey a sense of__________.

A.foreboding isolation

B.rural poverty

C.eccentric custom

D.provincial charm

Part III:English to Chinese Translation(15%)

Directions:Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your translation on the Answer Sheet.

One advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid word is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition.In most work success is measured by income and while our capitalistic society continues,this is inevitable.It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural to apply.The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for extra comforts that a higher income can provide.However dull work may be,it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation,whether in the world at large or only in one's own circle.In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men,or than women who work outside the home.The domesticated wife does not receive wages,has no means of bettering herself,and is valued by her husband not for her housework but for other qualities.

Of course,this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors;but such women are comparatively few,and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much as satisfaction as work of other kinds brings to men and to professional women.

朋友来访，站在我的书橱前流连忘返，见他一副痴迷的样子，我故作豪爽地说：“喜欢看什么说就先拿去吧。”嘴上虽然这么说，其实心里还是很不情愿的，书像是自己的孩子，是生命的另一部分，生生被别人抱去，总是有点舍不得，朋友没有看出我的小算盘，只顾听了我的话，在书橱里挑三拣四地翻出几本书来，竟都是我喜欢的，时不时要拿出来读读的那种。但是泼出来的水是收不回来了，何况因为几本书，也显得太小家子气。

2.D推理判断题。定位到最后一段“After I left the room,I began to sift my impressions.离开房间后，我开始筛选我的印象。……But how could he have faked the drawing of what I had drawn?但他怎么能伪造我画的画呢？And if that feat was due to genuine telepathic power,the other demonstrations could also be genuine.如果这一技术是由于真正的心灵感应能力，其他的演示也可能是真实的。”根据前文对演示过程的描述，以及最后一段中，作者对如何伪造画这一过程还不明白，因为这是作者重构的图画，所以，如果当表演的时候，他谈论他正在做的事，那么心灵感应者的演示会显得最有说服力，则D项正确。

3.A词义猜测题。定位到原句“Only the day before,an acquaintance had warned me to watch carefully for sleight-of-hand tricks,especially as the man had earlier been a stage conjuror.就在前天，一个……还警告我要小心戏法，特别是当那个人以前是个舞台魔术师的时候。”警告作者留心那个人的花招/诡计，说明这个人了解魔术师的花招，即A项“怀疑者”符合上下文语境。其他选项是：B项“伪君子”；C项“欺诈者”；D项“知己”。

4.D观点态度题。作者的态度在最后一段中“I had to admit that most of the things had done could have been tricks.我不得不承认，大多数事情都可能是诡计。But how could he have faked the drawing of what I had drawn?但他怎么能伪造我画的画呢？And if that feat

was due to genuine telepathic power,the other demonstrations could also be genuine.如果这一技术是由于真正的心灵感应力量，那么其他的演示也可能是真实的。”根据“could have been可能”和if引导的虚拟语气可知，作者清楚他的戏法，但是对有些部分却表示疑问，因此，D项“有保留的接受”最符合作者的心态。其他选项分别是：A项“完全冷漠”；B 项“义愤填膺”；C项“愤世嫉俗的娱乐”。

Text2

5.B推理判断题。根据文章首句“In the future the little privacy we now have will be gone.在未来，我们现在拥有的小小隐私将会消失。”以及“It is instead a future of a hundred electronic monitors who constantly watch and interrupt our daily lives,and where threats to privacy find their roots in the free market,advanced technology,and the unbridled exchange of electronic information.未来将有100台电子监视器不断监视和干扰我们的日常生活，对隐私的威胁根源于自由市场、先进技术和肆无忌惮的电子信息交流。”此外，后文谈及隐私战与科技的突飞猛进有着密切的关系等，因此，综合考虑，B项“在当代世界很难维持”正确。

6.C词义猜测题。定位到原文“Today's war on privacy is intimately related to the recent dramatic advances in technology.今天的隐私战争与最近科技的突飞猛进有着密切的关系。Many people today say that in order to enjoy the benefits of modern society,we must necessarily relinquish some degree of privacy.今天很多人说，为了享受现代社会的好处，我们必须放弃一定……隐私。”根据形容词“some一些；某个；相当多”可知，此处表示“一定程度上的隐私”，则C项“（一定的）量，程度；测量”符合搭配和意思。其他选项分别是：A项“阶段；舞台”；B项“序列；顺序”；D项“站立；身份，地位”。

7.D推理判断题。定位原文“Many people today say that in order to enjoy the benefits of modern society,we must necessarily relinquish some degree privacy.今天很多人说，为了享受现代社会的好处，我们必须放弃一定程度的隐私。If we want the convenience of paying for a meal by credit card,then we must accept the routine collection of our purchases in a large database over which we have no control.如果我们想要用信用卡支付餐费的方便，那么我们就必须在一个我们无法控制的大型数据库中接受日常的采购收集。”根据上下文可知，此句话是为了举例说明前句的内容，则D项“说明前面的观点”是正确答案。

8.A推理判断题。定位到原文“This trade-off is both unnecessary and wrong.这种权衡是不必要的，也是错误的。It reminds me of another crisis our society faced back in the fifties and sixties-the environmental crisis.这让我想起了另一场我们社会在五六十年代面临的危机—环境危机。Then,advocates of big business said that poisoned rivers and lakes were the necessary costs of economic development,jobs,and an improved standard of living.大企业的拥护者说，有毒的河流和湖泊是经济发展、就业和改善生活水平的必要代价。Poison was progress:anybody who argued otherwise simply didn't understand the facts.毒药就是进步：任何反对的人只是不理解这个事实。”因此，根据上下文可知，此话的观点与大企业拥护者观点一致，即表达的是A项“大企业”的观点。

9.C推理判断题。定位最后一段“Today we know that sustainable economic development depends on preserving the environment.今天，我们知道，可持续的经济发展取决于保护环境。Similarly,in order to reap the benefits of technology,it is more important than ever for us to use technology to protect personal freedom.同样，为了从技术那获得好处，利用技术来保护个人自由比以往任何时候更重要。”因此，根据语境推知，要想获得技术上的好处，那么就要充分利用技术，则C项“必须支持技术进步”符合推理。

10.B推理判断题。原文谈及“今天的隐私战争与最近的技术进步密切相关。”以及最后一段“同样，为了从技术那获得好处，利用技术来保护个人自由比以往任何时候更重要。”因此，作者认为，技术可以帮助保护隐私，即B项“借助新技术”正确。

Text3

11.A推理判断题。定位到第一段中“One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey世界上最愉快的事情之一就是旅行:but I like to do it myself can enjoy society in a room,but out of doors,nature is company for me.而我一向性喜孤往。居处室内时我还喜欢交往；但是一旦到了户外，自然这个侣伴对我已经足够。”以及第二段首句“Others have different opinions.其他人有不同的观点。”因此，A项“这种享受很大程度上是个人的爱好”符合作者的态度。

12.C推理判断题。“I am then never less alone than when alone.那时我身虽孤独而绝不孤独。”其中，be never less than表示“不比什么更怎么样”根据上文可知，自然作他的伴侣已经足够，因此，虽然他孤身在此，但是心里却不孤独。B项“隐喻”，是一种隐藏本体的比喻。C项“似非而是的隽语”，表示貌似矛盾，但包含一定哲理的意味深长的说法，是一种矛盾修辞法。D项“委婉语”，是用一种令人愉快的、委婉有礼的词语来代替令人不快的、粗鲁无礼的词语。因此，这句话使用的修辞手法是C项“隽语”。

13.B推理判断题。定位到原文“"Let me have a companion of myself:says the novelist Lawrence Sterne,"were it but to remark how the shadows lengthen as the sun declines".“但愿我能得一素心人朝夕相处”，斯特恩便曾讲过，“哪怕他只讲些太阳一落日影便斜之类的话也好”。It is beautifully said:but in my opinion,this continual comparing of notes interferes with the involuntary impression of things upon the mind and dilutes the experience.诚哉斯言：但以愚见看来，这类不断交换意见的做法终将破坏一个人对事物的自然感受，且影响其心绪。”因此，Sterne提及“阴影”是为了例举旅行伴侣之间的相处话题，则B项“旅行者仍然可能喜欢分享的观察所得”正确。

14.B推理判断题。作者在前文强调旅行的独处，悠然一身，不断交换意见的言论都会扰乱心绪，但是根据最后一段中“There is one subject on which it is pleasant to talk on a journey.I grant,and that is.What one shall have for supper when we get to our inn at night.旅途中谈论的一个话题是很愉快的。我承认，那就是晚上我们到旅馆的晚餐是什么。”可知，就餐是旅行中的愉快话题，这是上文中作者强调的独处不语的例外，则B项“指出先前支持言论的一个例外。”正确。

15.D推理判断题。根据原文上下文“How fine is it to enter some old town…进入一个古老的小镇……，这该有多好！”以及”These eventful moments in our lives history are too precious,too full of solid,heart-felt happiness to be frittered and dribbled away in solitude.生命中这些多事时刻是如此宝贵、充实且衷心的幸福，因此，不能在孤独中浪费并逐渐消磨。”可知，“town镇”和“village村”的描绘传达了D项“乡土魅力”。

Part III:English to Chinese Translation

【参考译文】

多数有报酬的工作和某些没有报酬的工作还有一个好处，那就是它们提供了成功的机会和实现抱负的可能。在多数工作中，收入的多少是衡量成功与否的标准，当我们这个资本主义社会继续存在时，这是不可避免的。只有在工作最好的情况下，收入才不再被当作理所当然的衡量标准。人们想增加收入当然是出自钱多了可以获得更多的舒适享受这一愿望，但同样也出自想获得成功的愿望。无论工作多么枯燥单调，如果它是能够

使人逐渐成名的手段，无论是在世界上出名还是就在自己的圈子里出名，那么这工作就不再难以忍受了。在这一点上，终日从事家务的妇女便远不如男子幸运，也没有走出家庭去参加工作的妇女幸运。家庭妇女没有工资，无法改善自己的状况。丈夫欣赏的不是她干的家务活，而是她的其他品质。

当然，对那些有足够的钱可以把住宅和花园搞得十分漂亮而且成为邻居们的羡慕对象的女人来说，情况就不一样。但这样的女人相对来说较少。对于大多数妇女，家务带给她们的满足远不如其他工作带给男子或职业妇女的满足。

When a friend visited me,he stood in front of my bookcase.At the sight of him lingering before it with rapt attention,I pretended to be generous,“Take any book what you like.”Although I said that,I was reluctant actually,for I regarded my books as my children and a part of my life.When they were held by others,I was loath to part with them.Without understanding my implication,my friend listened to me and picked out my favorite books that I read from time to time in the bookcase.But,my words is just like pouring water.I couldn’t break my words,or it would make me look narrow-minded because of a few books.

Part V:Essay Writing

【参考范文】

In everyone's life,there are many stories,happy,sad,angry,regretful.I can't help laughing at the thought of a story that happened in my school days.The experience gave me a deep impression physically and psychologically.

We had a three-day holiday for May Day,so some students of our college decided to climb mountain.The weather was cloudy and even cold in May,because we're very close to the sea.At about eight o’clock,we began to climb the mountain.In order to make it more interesting,we chose another path for beautiful scenery.At first,we enjoyed it and we didn't feel tired at all.We chatted and enjoyed while we were climbing the mountain.

After3hours,we arrived at a landscape platform and everyone felt hungry and cold and even tired.And at the same time,the cloud was so thick that we can not see anything but trees nearby and a sudden rainstorm worsened the situation.Then,we decided to give up climbing the top because of cold and discouragement.Just at this moment,we found that we can not contact one member because there was no telephone signal and the terrible weather.So we divided into two groups:one group continued to look for the lost member;another group went down the hill.After another3hours,we finally arrived at the bottom of mountain and we got message that the lost member had come back in the team.

During holiday,we suffered from muscle ache because of a few hours of mountain climbing.All in all,the interesting and worrying incident made the experience more unforgotten.We knew later that“the lost member”was the only one who climbed up the top of the mountain among us.Because she can not contact us,she had to go to the top for looking for us.

2015年考博 单选： 有少部分原题（出自曾建彬《研究生英语》《研究生高级英语》） 阅读理解： 第一篇：Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life. It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.

Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On－line shoppers who enter their credit－card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computers hackers (黑客) have broken down security（安全）systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago, 25,000 customers of CD Universe, an on－line music retailer (零售商) , were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit－card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157,828 to get back the information. Credit－card firms are now fighting against on－line fraud. Mastercard is working on plans for Web－only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on－line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated (欺骗). Ask about your credit－card firm’s on－line rules: Under British law, cardholders have to pay the first US $78 of any fraudulent (欺骗性的) spending. And shop only at secure sites; Send your credit－card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system. If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right－hand

Christopher Columbus, for instance, concluded from the information he acquired from his travels and from studying charts and maps, that the earth was round and that he could reach Asia by sailing west. But he needed a patron to finance such an expedition. He first tried John II., King of Portugal, without success, and then, the Count of Medina Celi in Spain. The Count encouraged Columbus for two years, but never actually provided him with the money and supplies he needed. Ferdinand and Isabella, King and Queen of Castile in Spain, were then contacted.

2017年上海交通大学考博英语试题回忆

2017年上海交通大学博士入学测试英语试题回忆 阅读理解Passage One Rent control is the system whereby the local government tells building owners how much they can charge their tenants in rent. In the United States, rent controls date back to at least World War II. In 1943 the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem of housing shortages during wartime. The federal program ended after the war, but in some locations, including New York City, controls continued. Under New York's controls, a landlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long as the tenants continue to renew their leases. In places such as Santa Monica, California, rent controls are more recent. They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's, which, combined with California's rapid population growth, pushed housing prices, as well as rents, to record levels. In 1979 Santa Monica's municipal government ordered landlords to roll back their rents to the levels charged in 1978. Future rents could only go up by two-thirds as much as any increase in the overall price level. In any housing market, rental prices perform three functions: (1) promoting the efficient maintenance of existing housing and stimulating the construction of new housing, (2) allocating existing scarce housing among competing claimants, and (3) rationing use of existing housing by potential renters. One result of rent control is a decrease in the construction of new rental units. Rent controls have artificially depressed the most important long-term determinant of profitability —rents. Consider some examples. In a recent year in Dallas, Texas, with a 16 percent rental vacancy rate but no rent control laws, 11,000 new housing units were built. In the same year, in San Francisco, California, only 2,000 units were built. The major difference? San Francisco has only a 1.6 percent vacancy rate but stringent rent control laws. In New York City, except for government-subsidized construction, the only rental units being built are luxury units, which are exempt from controls. In Santa Monica, California, new apartments are not being constructed. New office rental space and commercial developments are, however. They are exempt from rent controls. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? (A) The construction of apartments in the United States. (B) Causes and effects of rent control (C) The fluctuations of rental prices (D) The shortage of affordable housing in the United States. 2. Which of the following was NOT a reason for the introduction of rent controls in Santa Monica, California? (A) rapid population growth (B) inflation (C) economic conditions during wartime (D) record-high housing prices 3. It can be inferred that the purpose of rent control is to (A) protect tenants
