Answer the questions b

9、low each passage by choosing A, B, C and D BText 1/BOffice jobs are among the positions hardest hit by computation(计算机自动化). Word processors and typists will lose about 93,000 jobs over the next few years, while 57,000 secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today, many executives type their own

10、memos and carry their “secretaries“ in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68, 000 And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems. But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the

11、unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business, telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. She is now a communications technician, earning about $64, 000 per year. Of course, if youve been a tollboot

12、h collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourself replaced by an E-ZPass machine, it may be of little consolation(安慰) to know that the telecomm field is booming. And thats just it : The service economy is fading ; welcome to the expertise (专门知识) economy. To succeed in the new job market, you

13、must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations-air-traffic controller-demand at least a bachelors degree. For those with just a high school diploma(毕业证书), its going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will

14、 be available, whats left will be the jobs that computation cant kill: Computers cant clean offices, or care for Alzheimers patients (老年痴呆病人). But, since most people have the skills to fill those positions, the wages stay painfully low, meaning computation could drive an even deeper wedge(楔子) betwee

15、n the rich and poor. The best advice now: Never stop learning, and keep up with new technology. For busy adults, of course, that can be tough. The good news is that the very technology thats reducing so many jobs is also making it easier to go back to school-without having to sit in a classroom. So-

16、called Internet distance learning is hot, with more than three million students currently enrolled, and its gaining credibility with employers. Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer? Check the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is available online at b

17、ls. gov. (分数:10.00)(1).From the first paragraph we can infer that all of the following persons are easily thrown into unemployment EXCEPT_.(分数:2.00)A.secretariesB.stock clerksC.managersD.wholesalers(2).In the second paragraph the author mentions the tollbooth collector to_.(分数:2.00)A.mean he will ge

18、t benefits from the telecomm fieldB.show he is too old to shift to a new positionC.console him on having been replaced by a machineD.blame the PC for his unemployment(3).By saying “.computation could drive an even deeper wedge between the rich and poor“ (Line 5, Para. 4) the author means_.(分数:2.00)A

19、.people are getting richer and richerB.there will be a small gap between rich and poorC.the gap between rich and poor is getting larger and largerD.its time to close up the gap between the rich and poor(4).What is the authors attitude towards computers?(分数:2.00)A.positive.B.negative.C.neutral.D.prej

20、udiced.(5).Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Blaming the PC.B.The booming telecomm fieldC.Internet distance learning.D.Keeping up with computation.BText 2/BTens of thousands of 18-year-olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas. These

21、 diplomas wont look any different from those awarded their luckier classmates. Their validity will be questioned only when their employers discover that these graduates are semiliterate (半文盲). Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational-repair shops-adult-literacy programs, such

22、as the one where I teach basic grammar and writing. There, high-school graduates and high-school dropouts pursuing graduate-equivalency certificates will learn the skills they should have learned in school. They will also discover they have been cheated by our educational system. I will never forget

23、 a teacher who got the attention of one of my children by revealing the trump card of failure. Our youngest, a world-class charmer, did little to develop his intellectual talents but always got by. Until Mrs. Stifter. Our son was a high-school senior when he had her for English. “He sits in the back

24、 of the room talking to his friends,“ she told me. “Why dont you move him to the front row?“ I urged, believing the embarrassment would get him to settle down. Mrs. Stifter said, “I dont move seniors. I flunk(使不及格) them. “ Our sons academic life flashed before my eyes. No teacher had ever threatened

25、 him. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty good about this. It was a radical approach for these times, but, well, why not? “Shes going to flunk you,“ I told my son. I did not discuss it any further. Suddenly English became a priority(头等要事) in his life. He finished out the semester with an A.

26、I know one example doesnt make a case, but at night I see a parade of students who are angry for having been passed along until they could no longer even pretend to keep up. Of average intelligence or better, they eventually quit school, concluding they were too dumb to finish. “I should have been h

27、eld back,“ is a comment I hear frequently: Even sadder are those students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class, “I dont know how I ever got a high-school diploma. “ Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates to

28、 have basic skills. We excuse this dishonest behavior by saying kids cant learn if they come from terrible environments. No one seems to stop to think that most kids dont put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at risk. Theyd rather be sailing. Many students I see at night h

29、ave decided to make education a priority. They are motivated by the desire for a better job or the need to hang on to the one theyve got. They have a healthy fear of failure. People of all ages can rise above their problems, but they need to have a reason to do so. Young people generally dont have t

30、he maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it. But fear of failure can motivate both. (分数:10.00)(1).What is the subject of this essay?(分数:2.00)A.view point on learning.B.a qualified teacher.C.the importance of examination.D.the generation gap.(2).How did Mrs. Sifter get t

31、he attention of one of the authors children?(分数:2.00)A.flunking him.B.moving his seat.C.blaming him.D.playing card with him.(3).The author believes that the most effective way for a teacher is to_.(分数:2.00)A.purify the teaching environmentsB.set up cooperation between teachers and parentsC.hold back

32、 studentD.motivate student(4).From the passage we can draw the conclusion that the authors attitude toward flunking is_.(分数:2.00)A.negativeB.positiveC.biasedD.indifferent(5).Judging from the content, this passage is probably written for_.(分数:2.00)A.administratorsB.studentsC.teachersD.parentsBText 3/

33、BNames have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education. As colleges strive for market share, they are looking for names that project the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make. Trenton State College, for example, became the College of New Jersey nine

34、years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state. “All I hear in higher education is, Brand, brand, brand, “ said Tim Westerbeck, who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne, a marketing firm based in Chicago that work

35、s with universities and other nonprofit organizations. “There has been a sea change over the last 10 years. Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher education. “ Not all efforts at name changes are successful, of course. In 1997, the New School for Social Research became New School Univers

36、ity to reflect its growth into a collection of eight colleges, offering a list of majors that includes psychology, music, urban studies and management. But New Yorkers continued to call it the New School. Now, after spending an undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing consultants creation

37、 of “naming structures,“ “brand architecture“ and “identity systems,“ the university has come up with a new name. the New School. Beginning Monday, it will adopt new logos(标识) , banners, business cards and even new names for the individual colleges, all to include the words “the New School. “ Change

38、s in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived. In altering its name from Cal State, Hayward, to Cal State, East Bay, the university hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban counties east of San Francisco. The University of Southern Colorado,

39、a state institution, became Colorado State University at Pueblo two years ago, hoping to highlight many internal changes, including offering more graduate programs and setting higher admissions standards. Beaver College turned itself into Arcadia University in 2001 for several reasons : to break the

40、 connection with its past as a womens college, to promote its growth into a full-fledged(完全成熟的) university and, officials acknowledged, to eliminate some jokes about the colleges old name on late-night television and “morning zoo“ radio shows. Many college officials said changing a name and image co

41、uld produce substantial results. At Arcadia, in addition to the rise in applications, the average students test score has increased by 60 points, Juli Roebeck, an Arcadia spokeswoman, said. (分数:10.00)(1).Which of the following is NOT the reason for colleges to change their names?(分数:2.00)A.They pref

42、er higher education competition.B.They try to gain advantage in market share.C.They want to project their image.D.They hope to make some changes.(2).It is implied that one of the most significant changes in higher education in the past decade is_.(分数:2.00)A.the brandB.the college namesC.the concept

43、of marketingD.list of majors(3).The phrase “come up with“ (Line 3, Para. 4) probably means_.(分数:2.00)A.catch up withB.deal withC.put forwardD.come to the realization(4).The case of name changing from Cad State, Hayward, to Cal State indicates that the university_.(分数:2.00)A.is perceived by the socie

44、tyB.hopes to expand its influenceC.prefers to reform its teaching programsD.expects to enlarge its campus(5).According to the spokeswoman, the name change of Beaver College_.(分数:2.00)A.turns out very successfulB.fails to attain its goalC.has eliminated some jokesD.has transformed its statusBText 4/B

45、It looked just like another aircraft from the outside. The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964But appearances were deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives. Inside, the area that normally had seats had

46、 become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded (填塞) from floor to ceiling, it looked a bit strange. There were almost no windows, but lights along the padded walls illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out, apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists quickly took their places wi

47、th a look of fear. For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions. For the next two hours, the flig

48、ht resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens before rushing .towards Earth. The invention was to achieve weightlessness for a few seconds. The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds. Then the engines cut out and we became weightless. Everything became confused and left or right, up or down no longer had any meaning. After t
