14、 members, grandparents are probably the least valued. They are just the people who have always been around. They make a fuss over the children in the family, show off to their friends the achievements of this child or that child, and show countless pictures of new babies. Grandfathers can fix anythi

15、ng, and grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around. When you are small, its fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you cant do at home, and, of course, they buy you things. They are always able to babysit because they dont go out much and actually prefer to s

16、ee their grandchildren. They are usually good for a small loan now and then that doesnt need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift. You respectfully listen to their advice but dont thank them politely for what they do for you, and then dont call or visit them until you need something else

17、. And, of course, you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway. Then all of a sudden, they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do, and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and no

23、any American colleges permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university, such as an apartment. College housing is usually in a dormitory, or dorm for short. Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments. They say dorms offer quiet st

24、udy areas and areas for social activities or sports. They say dorms are close to places they go every day, like the library, computer center and classrooms. They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students. Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or

25、 as many as one thousand. Some dorms are organized into areas called suites. Suites have several bedrooms, a large, living area and a bathroom. Six or more people may live in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway. Two students usually live in each room. On each floor there is a larg

26、e bathroom for all the students who live on that floor. Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food. In most universities, males and females live in the same dorm. They may even live on the same floor. But they usually may not live in the same room or suite. Most universities have some dorm

Without a car, most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesnt feel really poo

31、r when he has a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didnt know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reas

32、ons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars a

33、re popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by pl

34、anes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans dont like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They dont like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car g

35、ives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does

36、 not use so much gas.（分数：10.00）(1).When do most Americans feel they are poor?（分数：2.00）A.When they dont have a car.B.When they live in a huge country.C.When they dont use planes.D.When they have a car.(2).Which of the following is NOT the reason why cars become popular in the United States?（分数：2.00）A

38、：2.00）A.A new kind of car.B.Public transportation.C.The gas shortage.D.Poor people.(5).Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Cars have made the nation on wheels.B.Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C.Nearly 80% of the American people have cars

39、.D.Cars have made American independent.There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and wit

40、h establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the

41、human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other peoples likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people

42、as did Darwins theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But its hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhe

43、ad; we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor, The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some peopl

44、e; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Science provides answers to theoretical questions.B.S

45、cience seeks to comprehend the universe.C.Science aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them.D.Science serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.(2).Which of the following statements about technology is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Technolo

46、gy provides answers to practical problems.B.Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.C.Technology helps change the material world.D.Technology has to do with new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life.(3).According to the author, scientific theories( ).（分数：2.00）A

47、.must be strictly objectiveB.usually pay attention to peoples likes and dislikesC.should conform to popular opinionsD.always convince everyone(4).The author states that technology itself( ).（分数：2.00）A.is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustionB.should serve those who wish to gain advantage

48、 for themselvesC.will lead to a better world if put to wise useD.will inevitably be for bad motivation(5).The tone of the author in this passage is( ).（分数：2.00）A.ironicalB.criticalC.factualD.arbitrary三、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：40.00)For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.

49、 they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazinesa never-ending flood of words.
