Some

13、experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, vari

14、ety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used

15、 in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car

16、factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do

17、 something about. To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands

18、for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them. 6. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?A.To make jobs more varied.B.To give the w

From the invention of the steamship to the development of the spaceship, humankinds mechanical genius has been displayed. A phone is picked u

26、p and through a thin, plastic-coated wire, conversation reaches people around the block or thousands of miles away. Television creates images on a glass screen, and soon, through holography(全息照相技術(shù)) a screen may not even be needed. This apparent technological mastery has led people to the quite incor

27、rect and dangerous belief that technology can solve any and every problem the environment presents. All that is needed is enough time, effort, money, and know-how. But not everything is possible. For instance, unaided humans in their present form could not run a mile in one minute, or anywhere near

28、it. That is believed to be biologically impossible. Just as some things are biologically impossible, others are technologically infeasible or improbable. It is not likely that we will solve the worlds food problem technologically. Even with the great advances in methods of food production, more peop

Technology, for most people, is not the solution to the loneliness or despair, nor will it alleviate(緩解) hatred or prejudice

30、. It can be a tool but not a total cure.

Colossal computer-controlled mirrors, thousands of feet across, may one day orbit the earth, reflecting sunlight onto a darkened United States. Some scientists say that 16

41、 of these mirrors, each about a half mile across could aim their reflected light at one area on the earth that was about 200 miles by 300 miles. That much light would equal about 56 moons. The mirrors would be so high that they could catch the suns light as it was shining on the other side of the ea

42、rth. The mirrors could orbitthousands of miles highat the same speed as the earth turns on its axis(軸). That way, the mirrors would always be over the same spot. The aluminum-coated (涂鋁的), plastic mirrors could be folded up and packed into a space-ship, according to the scientists. Once released a f

43、ew hundred miles in space, the mirrors, powered by a solar-powered engine, could make the rest of the trip into space on their own. The scientists say that the computer-controlled mirrors could also be made to tilt(傾斜) slowly, so the reflected sunlight would sweep slowly along the surface of the ear

44、th. For example, as night fell, the mirrors could be tilted to light up Boston. Later on, as darkness spread slowly west-ward, Chicago, for example, then San Francisco could be lit up. The reflected sunlight would allow these cities to save up electricity. And in emergencies, such as power-failures,

45、 the mirrors could light up the affected area. What no one knows yet is what effect this artificial daytime would have on plants, animals, and humans. Would it confuse some animals and harm plants that are used to regular day-night cycles? The scientists recommend that studies be done to find out wh

46、at bad effects there might be. 16. The word colossal in Para. 2 most likely means _.A.nuclear-poweredB.orbitingC.giantD.spinning答案:C解析 從文章第二段第一句“Colossal computer-controlled mirrors, thousands of feet across.”可推知，“colossal”的概念與“giant”對應(yīng)，因此正確答案為C。17. Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the mirrors?

47、A.They would be made of plastic and coated with aluminum.B.They could be launched directly into space.C.They would stay in the same position over the earth.D.They could reflect sunlight to a large area on the earth.答案:B解析 第五段第一句“The aluminum-coated (涂鋁的)，plastic mirrors could be folded up and packed

48、 into a space-ship，”與A對應(yīng)。第四段最后一句“That way, the mirrors would always be over the same spot.”與C對應(yīng)。第三段第一句“.reflected light at one area on the earth that was about 200 miles by 300 miles.”與D對應(yīng)。故選B。18. The reflected light would sweep slowly along the surface of the earth because the mirrors _.A.would be

49、operated by solar-powered enginesB.would orbit thousands of miles high to catch the suns lightC.could move around the earth at the same speed as the earth turns on its axisD.could be made to adjust their angles答案:D解析 由第六段第一句“The scientists say that the computer-controlled mirrors could also be made

50、to tilt(傾斜) slowly, so the reflected sunlight would sweep slowly along the surface of the earth.”可知“be made to tilt”與D正好對應(yīng)，因此正確答案為D。19. The purpose for turning night into day is to _.A.confuse animals and plantsB.light up more citiesC.save energy and deal with emergenciesD.enable people to work long

51、er hours答案:C解析 根據(jù)第六段最后兩句“The reflected sunlight would allow these cities to save up electricity. And in emergencies, such as power-failures, the mirrors could light up the affected area.”因此C項正確。20. The writer of this passage _.A.gives an objective account of the mirrorsB.seems to be much worried abo

52、ut the effect of the mirrorsC.is in favor of the wide use of mirrorsD.suggests that artificial daylight is harmful to living beings答案:A解析 通讀全文可知，文章的中心詞是mirror，前面幾段說它給人帶來的便利，最后一段又說明科學(xué)家正在研究它可能的不利影響。由此可見作者的觀點是比較客觀的陳述。因此正確答案為A。 Tides are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. The moons pul

53、l causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closest to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal waves follow the apparent movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly every coast line at intervals of about twe

54、lve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. Hence, most coast lines have two tides a day and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day. Differences in the coas

55、t line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change the time that the tidal wave reaches different points along the same coast line. The difference in water level between high and low tide varies from day to day according to the relative positions of the sun and the moon. The sun also exerts a pul

56、l on the earth, although it is only about half as strong as the pull of the tides arise higher and when they pull at right angles to one another, the tide is lower. The formation of the coast line and variations in the weather are additional factors which can affect the height of tides. Some section

57、s of the coast are shaped in such a way as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas. A strong wind blowing toward the shore may also cause tides to the higher. 21. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A.Some coast lines do not have two tides each day.B.Tides

58、 are not affected by the shape of coast line.C.The sun has as much effect on tides as does the moon.D.Tides usually rise to the same land day after day.答案:A解析 由文章第五句中“.most coast lines have two tides a day and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day.”可推斷并不是所有的海岸線一天都會經(jīng)歷兩次潮汐。故選A。22. The time that high tide occurs at a particular pla
