11、w四、 Reading Comprehens(总题数：0，分数：0.00)Very soon a computer will be able to teach you English. It will also be able to translate any language for you too. It“s just one more incredible result of the development of microprocessors-those tiny parts of a computer commonly known as “silicon chips“. So giv

12、e up going to classes, stop buying more textbooks and relax. In a couple of years you won“t need the international language of English. Already Texas instruments in the United States are developing an electronic translation machine. Imagine a Spanish secretary, for example, who wants to type a lette

13、r from the boss to a business man in Sweden. All he or she will have to do is this: first type the letter will appear on another television screen in Stockholm in perfect Swedish. And that“s not all. Soon a computer will be able to teach you English, if you really want to learn the language. You“ll

14、sit in front of a television screen and practice endless structures. The computer will tell you when you are correct and when you are wrong. It will even talk to you because the silicon chips can change electrical impulses into sounds. And clever programmers can predict the responses you, the learne

15、r, are likely to make. So think of it. You will be able to teach yourself at your own pace. You will waste very little time, and you can work at home. And if after all that, you still can“t speak English you can always use the translating machine. In a few years, therefore, perhaps there will be no

16、need for BBC Modern English, or BBC English by Radio programsno more textbooks or teachers of English. Instead of buying an exciting new textbook, the computer will ask you to replace it with microprocessor one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four. Fast, reliable and efficient language learning and

17、 translating facilities will be available to you. Think of that no more tears or embarrassing moments. One little problem is that a computer can“t laugh yet-but the scientists are working on it. Happy learning!（分数：8.00）(1).Silicon chips are _.（分数：2.00）A.microprocessorsB.the result of the development

18、 of microprocessorsC.the computerD.parts of microprocessors(2).According to the writer, “you won“t need the international language of English“ because _.（分数：2.00）A.learning English will no longer be a difficult taskB.textbooks are no longer necessaryC.it“s better to buy a computer than to go to clas

21、感的) cases. Influenza is sometimes called “flu“ or a bad cold“. He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus (病毒) of this influenza. There are three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are types A and B, each of them having sev

22、eral sub-groups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus group A, but he did not know the subgroup. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W.H.O. published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak

23、 in Hong Kong, where about 15-20% of the population had become ill. As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, they began the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself at very high speed, the virus had multiplied more than a million times within two days. Conti

24、nuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs used against all the known sub-groups of type A virus on this virus. None of them gave any protection. This then, Was something new. a new influenza virus against which the people of the world had no ready help whatsoever. Having iso

25、lated the virus they were working with, the two doctors now conducted tests on some specially selected animals, which contact influenza in the same way as human beings do. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments revealed that the new virus spread easily, but that i

26、t was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, called it simply “Asian“ flu.（分数：15.00）(1).The influenza discovered by a doctor in Singapore is caused by _.（分数：3.00）A.a new type of virusB.type A virusC.a sub-group of type B virusD.a virus only existing in Asia(2).W.

27、enza because _.（分数：3.00）A.the doctor belonged to that organizationB.many people in Hong Kong also suffered from itC.the doctor found its virus and sent the samples to themD.it spread widely in Singapore for the first time(3).Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?（分数：3.00）A.This inf

30、 is worried about the spread of the disease.C.He is disappointed at the tests of the London doctors.D.He believes that the disease will soon be controlled.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, an active person. Do you pref

31、er grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (爱好), and the effect that colors

32、have on human beings. They tell us that we don“t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one. On th

33、e other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember that you will know your friends and

39、 as the forty-ninth state in 1959. Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the U.S It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson“s Secretary of State (国务卿), Seward bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of 7.2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something fooli

40、shly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and it appeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific“ ring of fire“. In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year. For these reas

41、ons the buying of Alaska was called “Seward“s Fooly“ at that time. However, in 1896 gold was found in Alaska, and people poured tin to the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinking about “Seward“s Fooly“. But most pe

A few form groups which j

49、ourney together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through space, happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides th
