Before that time, large computers were only used by large
14、rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them. The main development in small c
15、omputers has been in the field of word processors, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast. There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a
16、 lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager“s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours. Bu
17、t is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units. The ease of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors
18、 seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them. Whatever the arguments for or against word processors, the
19、y are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.（分数：10.00）(1).Ten years ago, large computers were only used by large companies because _.（分数：2.00）A.small companies did not have enough money to buy such expensive computersB.large computers could not do the work that small companies can do t
20、odayC.large computers did not come onto the marketD.small companies did not need to use this new technology(2).According to the writer, the main progress made in office work over the last ten years is _.（分数：2.00）A.the saving of time and moneyB.the use of computers in big companiesC.the wide use of w
21、ord processorsD.the decreasing number of secretaries(3).We can infer from the passage that with the use of word processors _.（分数：2.00）A.some secretaries will lose their jobsB.daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hoursC.medical problems related to work with a VDU have increasedD.the Br
22、itish companies will make less money(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.B.The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.C.The technology in the field of computers has b
23、een greatly advanced over the last ten years.D.Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.(5).From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _.（分数：2.00）A.safety screens are of poor qualityB.working at VDU for a long time is good for one“s heal
24、thC.more and more people in British offices will use word processorsD.British companies will need fewer and fewer managers四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper classes possesses at least 25 percent of the nation“s wealth. This class has two segmen
25、ts: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich“families that have been wealthy for several generationsan aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, su
26、ch as the Rockefellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion, drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower-upper class is the “new rich“. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old
27、 rich, the new rich have hustled (竭力地获得) to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich. However its wealt
28、h is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their o
29、wn kindall of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government
30、 positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations, and control multinational corporations. The actions affect the lives of millions.（分数：10.00）(1).All the following statements are true EXCEPT that _.（分数：2.00）A.the upper-upper class is of aristocratic originB.the “old rich“ enjoy higher prestige than t

32、culptures(3).The reason why the “old rich“ look down upon the “new rich“ is that _.（分数：2.00）A.the former are wealthier than the latterB.the latter sweat themselves to make moneyC.the “new rich“ have no interest in artsD.the “old rich“ are conscious of being members of the upper class(4).The upper cl
33、ass is also called the out-of-sight class because _.（分数：2.00）A.they keep away from the general publicB.they spend most of their time abroadC.they don“t communicate with any peopleD.they move frequently from place to place(5).We can learn from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.the upper class is powerful
34、 and influentialB.the upper class collects rare books to make moneyC.the upper class holds all top government positionsD.the “old rich“ makes much more money than the “old rich“五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Cheating is nothing new. But today, education and administrations are finding that instances
35、 of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent and are less likely to be punished than in the past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike. Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general lo
36、osening of moral values among today“s youth. Others have attributed increased cheating on the fact that today“s youth are far more pragmatic (实际的) than their idealistic predecessors. Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the world, today“s
37、students feel great pressure to conform and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect. Others looked at it as a game. Onl
38、y if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,“ said a second-year college student named Ann, from Chicago. “There“s an underlying fear. If you don“t do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To
39、achieve. To succeed, It“s almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.“ Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take actions. Dwight Huber, Chairman of t
40、he English Department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating. “I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated.“ Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize
41、 rather than by how well they can synthesize in formation, students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate and there is something wrong with the individuals who are doing it,“ he said. “That“s too easy an answer. We“ve got
42、 to start looking at the system.“（分数：10.00）(1).Educators are finding that students who cheat _.（分数：2.00）A.have poor academic recordsB.use the information in late yearsC.can be academically weak or strongD.are more likely to be punished than before(2).According to the passage, which of the following

47、ucational system in this country would benefit from a thorough evaluation六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Do women tend to devalue(贬低) the worth of their work? Do they apply different standards to rewarding their own work more critically than they do to rewarding the work of others? These were the ques
48、tions asked by Michigan State University psychologists Lawrence Messe and Charlene Callahan-Levy. Past experiments had shown that when women were asked to decide how much to pay themselves and other people for the same job, they paid themselves less. Following up on this finding, Messe and Callahan-
49、Levy designed experiments to test several popular explanations of why women tend to get less in pay situations. One theory the psychologists tested was that women judge their own work more harshly than that of others. The subjects for the experiment testing this theory were men and women from the Michigan State undergraduate student body. The job the subjects were asked to pe
