| 完形填空 I'm about to talk of the negative effects of technology. 1 , I don't know 2 these effects are bad or not but someone should be discussing them when they talk about technology. Most of them are about 3 problems. First of all, it is 4 to communicate with machines but not people. When we ring up for help, we have to go through a pile of 5 into our telephone to get some information. We get some 6 phone reply messages: if you want this, press one; if you want this, press two; if you want this, press 99; if you want to 7 , press "﹟" and you sit there and gradually get 8 in the face, angrier and angrier. This kind of thing is very 9 and is bound to cause something bad. So this is a problem of technology because even with a simple telephone, you used to get a 10 at the other end who says how can I help you,which made you feel 11 . The second one is about taking 12 the work done by people. We used to have people do a lot of jobs and now we have got 13 . They build cars, and they build them very well because they don't get 14 , they can work 24 hours a day, they generally don't 15 ; they don't get ill; they don't have 16 and so they needn't ask for at least half a year's leave. The trouble is the people who did those jobs. What are they to do? Those workers' life is 17 . Have you ever seen a typist lately? That is one sitting in a shop with typewriters typing letters to make a 18 . No, it's 19 . Everybody does their own letters on a computer and presses buttons, and it 20 and so forth. | ||||

| 阅读理解 A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained he wished to buy a pearl for his wife's birthday and the price didn't matter since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for it in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left. A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made, "Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, "I would say it's exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl." The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. "I don't like to part with it," she said sadly, "I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really need the money." The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man's hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found. 1. The man paid $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining because ______. A. he wanted to make the jeweler believe him B. his business had been successful C. he was anxious to get it D. he was very rich 2. He told the jeweler to get him another pearl that must be ______. A. exactly the same size as the black one B. exactly as big and nice as the black one C. worth no more than $ 25,000 D. exactly the same quality as the black one 3. Many people answered the advertisement because they wanted _______. A. to see the perfect pearl B. to buy some beautiful pearls too C. to get in touch with the rich man D. to sell their own pearl at a high price 4. The jeweler couldn't find the man anywhere because ______. A. he died suddenly. B. He happened to be out C. He got $ 20,000 by cheating and had run away with the money. D. He wouldn't show up until the jeweler called him a second time. |
| 阅读理解 Learners report two main difficulties in reading, which may be linked. There are too many unknown words and as a result reading is simply not a pleasure. For some students, even reading in their own language is a chore. Having a wide vocabulary is essential to making sense of written language. Of course, this is a circular argument, because the more you read the more vocabulary you learn and the more words you know the more easily you can read. Don't make the mistake of reading with your dictionary beside you, looking up every single new or doubtful word. This is laborious and prevents you from practicing the skill of prediction. Sometimes in reading you find a word you know but the sense doesn't seem to fit in. This is not surprising because words have so many meanings and degrees of meaning. What is more, part of their meaning is shaped by the words around them. Keep looking at the surrounding words and asking yourself "what sort of meaning would make sense here?" The more that people study the reading process, the better they can pass on to language learners a range of advice to choose from. People have learned to read in all kinds of ways. Here is some information that could help you plan to be a better reader in the foreign language you are studying. 1)Work out the general meaning first When people read in a new language they often feel they must take a detailed approach, focusing on every word, particularly those they don't know. They read as if they were using a microscope, looking carefully at each of the small pieces(the individual words), but not necessarily seeing the whole picture at first. This is called the "bottom-up" approach. Other readers try to look first at the big picture(the "top-down" approach), attending to individual bricks only as necessary, a process that involves some intelligent guesswork. Generally this second approach is recommended by successful learners. 2)Interactive reading Another way of thinking about reading is to describe it as an interactive process, where the text brings something to you and you bring something to the text. Readers bring together all their knowledge of the world with what they see on the page in front of them. That is why, when reading in our own language, we don't need to read every word. We add meaning which is not actually stated. 3)From supported reading to independent reading Language learners start by needing considerable support as they read. Textbooks supply this support in the form of introductions that summaries the contents, glossaries, pictures, explanations of new grammar points. In your reading you need to move gradually from this support to reading more the text itself. 1. This passage is mainly about ________. A. how to use a dictionary B. how to improve English writing C. how to be a better English reader D. how to increase English vocabulary 2. The word "chore" in the first paragraph maybe means ______. A. an important aspect B. an easy question C. a difficult and tiring thing D. something special 3. Successful learners recommend ______. A. trying to look first at the big picture B. looking carefully at each of the small pieces C. focusing on every word D. "bottom-up" approach 4. If you come across a new or doubtful word when you are reading, you can ______. A. just miss it and let it be B. make sense of it with the help of dictionary C. look it up in the dictionary each time D. keep looking at the surrounding words |
| 阅读理解 Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. "Our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles," Tavella says. "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices." The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. "The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair." He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time. 1. BCI is a technology that can ________. A. help to update computer systems B. help the disabled to recover C. link the human brain with computers D. control a person's thoughts 2. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine. C. By using his mind D. .By moving his hand. 3. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5? A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair C. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair D. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center B. New Findings About How the Human Brain Works C. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries D. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled |
| 阅读理解 When an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses. This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect. The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which is named after Catherine "Kitty" Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help. The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police. Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments. There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate. Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is ambiguous (not clear). In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered. 1. The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect because a woman surnamed Genovese. A. its discovery resulted from the murder of B. it somehow caused the murder of C. it was actually discovered by D. it always makes people think of 2. It's likely that the neighbors didn't offer help because__________. A. They believed in the bystander effect. B. They knew Genovese and Moseley well. C. They were afraid of the murderer. D. They thought someone else might help. 3. Before deciding to offer help, observers may , according to the psychologists. A. wait for sort of a signal B. want to be sure it's appropriate to react C. hesitate and estimate the risk of getting hurt D. wonder if the victim is worth helping 4. The article seems to suggest that, if there had been observers, Genovese might not have been murdered. A. no B. braver C. more D. fewer |
| 阅读理解 My brother, Michael, was born one month before his due date and he also had cerebral palsy(脑瘫). He was retarded. He never lost his baby teeth, never grew taller than about 30 inches and never weighed more than 28 pounds. They did estimate, however, that he would not live to see his 12th birthday. As a boy I learned to feed and clothe Mike. As a teenager, I babysat for my "big brother" and learned use the proper medicine to prevent the seizures(癫痫) that caused him to tremble. Many people said he would never walk or talk . He never did learn to walk, but he did learn to talk -not even in complete sentences, but he had the basics down. If he was hungry, thirsty, happy or sad, we knew. He knew names too. I was Kagun, not Kevin. But that changed with a beard I grew during the summer before college. Family members said it was ugly. Mike heard it. "Look who's at home. Who's that?" they'd say to Mike. "Ugly," he would respond with delight. All of which-to me-was normal, for he was the only brother I knew. The only time I thought of the differences between us was when others pointed them out. My circle of friends widened when I entered high school. One day Mom asked if my new friends would have a problem seeing Mike for the first time. "If they don't accept Mike, they don't accept me and they aren't welcome," I said. And if I didn't think of him as different, I never thought about him dying either. On a warm fall night in 1998, Mike had a seizure. With this first seizure, Mike's life was beginning to fade. On March 15, 1999, Mike died. Michael Patrick Harter-just 26 years old- died in Mom's arms. We never had those great talks other brothers have about women, work and parents. We never played catch or talked about our dreams. But Mike taught me compassion and strength. He taught me respect for those less fortunate than myself. And he taught me an appreciation of the beauty in the simplest things. Physically and mentally, I was my brother's keeper. Spiritually, Mike was and is my keeper-a nearly silent guardian angel. 1. The underlined word "retard" in Paragraph 1 may mean_______. A. to make development faster B. to make development slower C. to make development earlier D. to make development better 2. How much longer did the writer's brother live than expected? A. About 26 B. About 12 C. About38 D. About 14 3. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A.It was a great shock to the writer that his disabled brother died in his mother's arms. B.He thought his brother would inspire him forever. C.His brother brought him great shame in his childhood. D.He thought that friendship wasn't that important. 4.The best title of this passage might be____________. A. My Disabled Brother B. A Peaceful Death of My Brother C. My Silent Keeper D. Love to My Brother |
