For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the correspon

16、ding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center./IThe biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been

17、 caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices, such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation

18、 industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during “critical“ stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines.

19、 And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce to total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircrafts computers. Exper

20、ts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircrafts use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact

21、that aircrafts may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who cant hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the musics too loud.（分数：5.00）(1).The passage is mainly ab

22、out _.（分数：1.00）A.the defects of electronic devicesB.a new regulation for all airlinesC.effective safety measures for air flightD.a possible cause of aircraft crashes(2).What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?（分数：1.00）A.They may have been caused by the damage to the r

23、adio system.B.They may have taken place during take-off and landing.C.They were proved to have been caused by the passengers portable computers.D.They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.(3).Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic de

24、vices because（分数：1.00）A.they dont believe there is such a danger as radio interferenceB.the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be provedC.most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette playersD.they have other effective safety measures to fall b

25、ack on(4).Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplanes computers?（分数：1.00）A.Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane,B.Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.C.Because research s

26、cientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.D.Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that the author _.（分数：1.00）A.is in favor of prohibiting passengers use of electronic devices completelyB.has overestimated the danger

27、 of electronic devices completelyC.hasnt formed his own opinion on this problemD.regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight七、BTask 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used

28、to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain,

29、 and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software or by altering the architecture but that will happen, too.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon will arise first to rival and then exceed their human anc

30、estors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended Ucarbons/U long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence o

31、f robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a com

32、bination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.（分数：5.00）(1).In what way we make a machine intelligent?（分数：1.00）A.By making it work in su

33、ch environments as deserts, oceans or space.B.By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C.By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D.By reproducing it.(2).What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?（分数：1.00）A.He believes they will be useful to human beings.B.He bel

34、ieves that they will control us in the future.C.He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D.He doesnt consider the construction of such machines possible.(3).The underlined word “carbon“ Para. 2) stands for _.（分数：1.00）A.intelligent robotsB.a chemical elementC.an organic substanceD.human

35、 beings(4).A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when _.（分数：1.00）A.its intelligence and cost are beyond questionB.it is able to bear the rough environmentC.it is made as complex as the human brainD.its architecture is different from that of the present ones(5).It can be inferred from the passa

36、ge that _.（分数：1.00）A.after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproductionB.with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC.once we make machine as complex as t

38、g the situation, It is based on the results of a comprehensive questionnaire sent to all staff in addition to in-depth interviews with managers and union leaders.BFindings/BAs might have been expected, low pay is the main cause for staff complaints. Whats more, a significant number of employees are

39、unsatisfied with the current level of bonus payments and fringe benefits. Another major complaint is the employees working environment. In particular, the poor quality of working lunch and the dim light in communal areas, such as the locker room and rest room have been highlighted.BRecommendations/B

40、In order to deal with the issue of so-called low pay, it is recommended that a discussion be arranged between the management circle and union representatives. Topics should include both a review of pay levels and the launch of a few incentive schemes. This could, for instance, lead to the introducti

41、on of performance-related top-ups, with weekly bonuses being awarded to those employees who have been with the company for five years and more should be entitled to a range of fringe benefits, such as big sum of coupons which can be used at high-class shopping malls. It is also suggested that employ

42、ees be offered a channel to express their opinions on improving their working environment by using a Suggestions Box, which could be put in the doorway. The purpose of the report is to assess the main reasons for staff complaints about U(46) /Uand propose ways ofU (47) /U. Many employees are unsatis
