11、、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The history of the computer in the twentieth century is one of dramatic adaptation and expansion. The computer had modest beginnings in areas where it was used as a specialist tool. The first electronic computer was built in the 1930s and was solely for
12、the use of undergraduate students in Iowa State University to handle mathematical computations in nuclear physics. In the 1960s an early version of the Internet, ARPPANET was used in computer science and engineering projects. However, only 10 years later computers were starting to change our life st
13、yle, the way we do business and many other things and by the late 1980s networks were expanding to embrace sections of the general public.Computerization has changed US high school education in many ways. Three different changes that consider being important. The first is the use of the computer as
14、teaching aid for teachers. The next is the massive data storage and fast data retrieval facilitated by computer. Then comes the changes brought about by the introduction of simulation software.How prevalent is the use of computers in schools! As recently as the early 1980s only 20% of secondary scie
15、nce teachers in the USA were using microcomputers. However, since then high schools in the US have computer zed rapidly. By 1987, schools had acquired about 1.5 million computers with 95% of public schools having at least one computer. Computers can be used as teaching aids both in schools and in ho
16、mes. In schools, for example, teachers can plug a computer into an especially equipped overhead projector to bring texts, graphics, sound and videos into a classroom. By these multimedia computer animations, teachers can more readily attract and retain students attention. Ann concludes that computer
17、 aided teaching can attract and motivate students who were dropping out when more traditional methods were being used.Let us now turn to the Internet. This is a global network connecting many local networks. Over the Internet, high school students can retrieve information and databases from every ne
18、tworked library around the world in seconds. The World Wide Web provides an easy way to access hard-to-find information. Students can now reach any library through the global network and find what they want. The final step is to download the scanned image. Though the slow transmission of signal thro
19、ugh the network is a major limiting factor, it can still save us much time in finding useful information, and thus it is an invaluable tool to both high school teachers and students.（分数：10.00）(1).The main point of paragraph 1 is toA outline the main causes of computerization.B outline the main conse

23、n some ways, the United States has made spectacular progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 19
24、77, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference of a country that just will not tak
25、e fires seriously enough. American fire departments are some of the worlds fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japans population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire-safety lessons are aimed a
26、lmost entirely at children, who die in disproportionately large numbers in fires but who, contrary to popular myth, start very few of them.Experts say the fatal error is an attitude that fires are not really anyones fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law tr
27、eat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the estimated 48 fires in world history, that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Penalties for causing a severe fire by negligence can be as high as life imprisonment.In the United States, most educat
28、ion dollars are spent in elementary schools. But the lessons are aimed at a too limited audience; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to rely more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent
29、 of all homes. Some local building codes now require home sprinklers. New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.（分数：10.00）(1).The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that_.A. They took no interest in new technologyB. they did not attach great importance to preventing fire
30、sC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire facilities（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Although the fire death rate has declined, the United States_.A. still has the worst fire death rate in the worldB. is still alert to the fire problemC. is still training a large n
31、umber of safety expertsD. is still confronted with the serious fire problem（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. fire safety lessons should be aimed at American adultsB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonC. Japan is better equipped
32、with fire facilities than the United StatesD. Americas large population accounts for hight fire frequency（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In what aspects should the United States learn from Japan?A. Architecture and building material.B. Education and technology.C. Laws and attitude.D. All of the above.（分数：2.00）
33、A.B.C.D.(5).To narrow the gap between the fire death rate in the United States and that in other countries, the author suggests_.A. developing new technologyB. counting more on laws and social pressureC. placing a fire extinguisher in every familyD. reinforcing the safeness of household appliances（分
34、数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Seven years ago, a group of female scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology produced a piece of research showing that senior women professors in the institutes school of science had lower salaries and received fewer resources for research than th
35、eir male counterparts did. Discrimination against female scientists has cropped up elsewhere. One studyconducted in Sweden, of all placesshowed that female medical-research scientists had to be twice as good as men to win research grants. These pieces of work, though, were relatively small-scale. No
36、w, a much larger study has found that discrimination plays a role in the pay gap between male and female scientists at British universities. Sara Connolly, a researcher at the University of East Anglias school of economics, has been analyzing the results of a survey of over 7,000 scientists and she
37、has just presented her findings at this years meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Norwich. She found that the average pay gap between male and female academics working in science, engineering and technology is around 1,500 ($2,850) a year. That is not, of course, irr
38、efutable proof of discrimination. An alternative hypothesis is that the courses of mens and womens lives mean the gap is caused by something else; women taking “career breaks“ to have children, for example, and thus rising more slowly through the hierarchy. Unfortunately for that idea, Dr. Connolly
39、found that men are also likely to earn more within any given grade of the hierarchy. Male professors, for example, earn over 4,000 a year more than female ones. To prove the point beyond doubt, Dr. Connolly worked out how much of the overall pay differential was explained by differences such as seni
40、ority, experience and age, and how much was unexplained, and therefore suggestive of discrimination. Explicable differences amounted to 77% of the overall pay gap between the sexes. That still left a substantial 23% gap in pay, which Dr. Connolly attributes to discrimination. Besides pay, her study
41、also looked at the “ glass-ceiling“ effectnamely that at all stages of a womans career she is less likely than her male colleagues to be promoted. Between postdoctoral and lecturer level, men are more likely to be promoted than women are, by a factor of between 1.04 and 2.45. Such differences are bi
42、gger at higher grades, with the hardest move of all being for a woman to settle into a professorial chair. Of course, it might be that, at each grade, men do more work than women, to make themselves more eligible for promotion. But that explanation, too, seems to be wrong. Unlike the previous studie
43、s, Dr. Connollys compared the experience of scientists in universities with that of those in other sorts of laboratory. It turns out that female academic researchers face more barriers to promotion, and have a wider gap between their pay and that of their male counterparts, than do their sisters in
44、industry or research institutes independent of universities. Private enterprise, in other words, delivers more equality than the supposedly egalitarian world of academia does.（分数：10.00）(1).The phrase “cropped up“ in the first paragraph most probably means_. A planted B thrived C elevated D happened（

A a term B a slang C a humor D a motto（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In contrast to Dr. Connollys study, the previous ones failed to_. A make a comparison between the experience of scientists in others kinds of laboratory and that of

The first step to making that happen is whittling the price down to $100. And that is the goal of a group of American techno-gurus led by Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of the fabled MIT Media Lab. When he unveiled the idea at the World Economic Forum in January it seemed wildly ambitious. But surprisingly, it is starting to become a realit
