Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),

15、B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Design of all the new tools and implements is based on careful experiments with electronic i

16、nstruments. First, a human “guinea pig” is tested using a regular tool. Measurements are taken of the amount of work done, and the buildup of heat in the body. Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well, it has been found, as joints and muscles in their normal positions. The same p

17、erson is then tested again, using a tool designed according to the suggestions made by Dr. Tichauer. All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old.One of the electronic instruments used by Dr. Tichauer, the myograph (肌動(dòng)記器), makes visible through electrical signals

18、the work done by human muscle.Another machine measures any dangerous features of tools, thus proving information upon which to base a new design. One conclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to use than one with four legs.This work has attracted

19、 the attention of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineer, but its value goes far beyond that. Dr. Tichauers first thought is for the health of the tool user. With the repeated use of the same tool all day long on production lines and in other jobs, even light manual work can put a hea

20、vy stress on one small area of the body. In time, such stress can cause a disabling disease. Furthermore, muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard.Efficiency is the by-product of comfort, Dr. Tichauer believes, and his new designs for traditional tools have proved his point.21.What are involved in

21、the design of a new tool according to the passage?A)Electronic instruments and a regular tool.B)A human “guinea pig ” and a regular tool.C)Electronic instruments and a human “guinea pig”.D)Electronic instruments, a human “guinea pig” and a regular tool.22.From the passage we know that joints and mus

22、cles perform best when .A)they are twisted and stretchedB)they are in their normal positionsC)they are tested with a human “guinea pig”D)they are tested with electronic instruments23.A “myograph” (Para. 2, Line 1) is an electronic instrument that .A)is able to design new toolsB)measures the amount o

23、f energy usedC)enable people to see the muscular movementsD)visualizes electrical signals24.It can be inferred form the passage that .A)a stepladder used to have four legsB)it is dangerous to use toolsC)a tripod is safer in a tool designD)workers are safer on production lines25.Dr. Tichauer started

24、his experiments initially to .A)improve efficiencyB)increase productionC)reduce work loadD)improve comfortQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. More and more , the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only in

25、side computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.Its easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on w

26、hat the computer is doing.But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But its disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about we

27、re detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape p

28、unishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had

29、been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (詐騙) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the companys executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs

30、 to continue his crimes elsewhere.26.It can be concluded from the passage that .A)it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB)people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC)computer criminals escape punishment because they cant be detectedD)computer crimes are the most se

31、rious problem in the operation of financial institutions27.It is implied in the third paragraph that .A)most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB)the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC)most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD)many

32、 more computer crimes go undetected that are discovered28.Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A)A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B)Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C)Companies will guard against computer

33、crimes to protect their reputation.D)Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.29.What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A)With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B)They may walk away and easily find another job.C)They will be denied access

34、to confidential records.D)They must leave the country to go to jail.30.The passage is mainly about .A)why computer criminals are often able go escape punishmentB)why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspectionsC)how computer criminals manage to get good recommendations from thei

35、r former employersD)why computer crimes cant be eliminatedQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to main

36、tain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and indecision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation

37、rather than by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less important and that has happened in some cases we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the man in the American family. We are getting a little ti

38、red of “Momism” but we dont want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the par

39、t men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a womans place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze mans place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevan

40、t to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism (命令主義) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trouse

41、rs, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相關(guān)的, 切題的) not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.31.The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is .A)fundament to a sound democracyB)not pertinent to healthy family lifeC)responsible for Momis

42、mD)what we have almost given up32.The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that .A)the role of the father may become an inferior oneB)the role of the mother may become an inferior oneC)the children will grow up believing that life is a battle of sexesD)sharing lea

43、ds to constant arguing33.The author states that bringing up children .A)is mainly the mothers jobB)belongs among the duties of the fatherC)is the job of schools and churchesD)involves a partnership of equals34.According to the author, the fathers role in the home is .A)minor because he is an ineffec

44、tual parentB)irrelevant to the healthy development of the childC)pertinent to the healthy development of the child D)identical to the role of the childs mother35.With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?A)A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of

45、a healthy society.B)Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.C)Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.D)A womans place in the home now as always.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Teaching children to read well from the start is the most imp

46、ortant task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “l(fā)ook-say” or “whole-word” method of teaching beginning reading is per

47、haps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfa

48、miliar words. It fits in with the self-directed, “l(fā)earning how to learn” activities recommended by advocates (倡導(dǎo)者) of “open” classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run-Spot-Run” read

49、ers.However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate” in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Cant Read, Flesch indicted (控訴) the nations public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said-and more scholarly studies by Jeane C

50、hall and Rovert Dykstra Later confirmed that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics (語言學(xué)) , is far superior.Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Ra

51、ther than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, if imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences;

52、it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.36.The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is .A)only logical and natural B)the expected position C)probably a mistake D)merely effective instruction 37.The author indicts the look-say reading a

53、pproach because .A)it overlooks decoding B)Rudolf Flesch agrees with himC)he says it is boring D)many schools continue to use this method38.One major difference between the look-say method of learning reading and the phonics method is .A)look-say is simpler B)phonics takes longer to learnC)look-say

54、is easier to teach D)phonics gives readers access to far more words39.The phrase “touch-off” (Para.3, Line 1) most probably means .A)talk about shortly B)start or causeC)compare with D)oppose40.According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A)Phonics approach regards whole-word m

55、ethod as unimportant.B)The whole-word approach emphasizes decoding.C)In phonics approach, it is necessary and logical to employ decoding.D)Phonics is superior because it stresses the meaning of words thus the vast majority of most common words can be learned.Part Three Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in
