24、earn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject.

All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much kn

25、owledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass.

29、ent and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient. Traffic accidents decline mill

30、ions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate(年死亡率 )from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.

33、his passage? （ A） Traffic Safety （ B） Be Careful （ C） How to Drive a Car （ D） A Traffic Accident 56 Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bones or horns, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic. In the 1960s a new tool was developed,

34、one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also to revolutionize the art and science of surgery. The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know, light is hot, and any source of lig

35、ht will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam. Experi

36、ments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right thr

37、ough the eye-ball. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some c

38、ancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. 57 Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments of surgical operations up until 1960s? （ A） Traditional （ B） Complicated. （ C） Remarkable. （ D） Revolutionary. 58 What do w

39、e find after the development of the laser in the 1960s? （ A） Industrial revolution brought surgery changed greatly. （ B） Medical help became available for industrial workers. （ C） The study of art went through a complete revolution. （ D） Human being s methods in surgery changed greatly. 59 The reaso

40、n why the laser beam is very strong is that_. （ A） it is artificially illuminated （ B） it is made up of a concentrated beam of light （ C） it sends out heat in all directions （ D） its heat is increased by the heat of the sun 60 After the use of the laser beam, surgeons can perform operations which_.

41、（ A） leave their patients with negative effects （ B） can treat only human eye diseases （ C） do little damage to their patients （ D） make their patients need a long time to recover 补全文章 60 There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding.【 B1】 _ The first sense is th

42、e one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else.【 B2】 _ Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started.

43、Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement. The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the r

44、eader s understanding.【 B3】 _ Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning“ means understanding more, not remembering more information. What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding.【 B4】 _ Besides, his book must convey something

45、he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved. 【 B5】 _It is the least dema

46、nding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well. AThe writer should have a better communicating skill. BSuch com

47、munication between unequals must be possible. CWe can get access to the content of those materials easily. DThe writer must be “superior“ to the reader in understanding. EThus, we can employ the word “reading“ in two distinct senses. FReading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understand

48、ing for information. GBesides gaining information and understanding, there s another goal of reading-entertainment. 61 【 B1】 62 【 B2】 63 【 B3】 64 【 B4】 65 【 B5】 第二节 书面表达 66 以经理办公室的名义，按一定的格式和要求，写一份于 2012年 7月 28日公布的通知，包括以下内容： 1时间： 8月 7日星期四下午 2： 00 2会议地点：公司办公大楼会议厅 3会议内容：讨论能源规划 (energy program) 4出席人员：各部
