27、D.五、Section Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Technology has been an encouragement of historical change. It acted as such a force in England beginning in the eighteenth century , and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth. Rapid advances were made in
28、the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods, which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufacture products in less time.People also develo
29、ped machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail was exactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. This means that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking production down into smaller and smaller tas
30、ks.Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. Instead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in certain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by todays standards. Highly skilled worker
31、s were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production allowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand. But the skilled worker wasnt the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forced farmers away. The increase
32、d mechanization (机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned their own tools, their skill was
33、 no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.（分数：10.00）(1).In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findin
34、gs in the production of goods?A. Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.B. The increased exploitation of workers in the l9th century.C. The increased use of machines to make products in less time.D. The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The
35、underlined word “this“ in the first paragraph refers to _.A. the use of scientific findingsB. the practice of producing the same parts for a productC. the human power being replaced by other forms of energyD. the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The unde
36、rlined word “this“ in the second paragraph refers to the change that _.A. each nail could be taken the place of by every other nailB. each nail was exactly like every other nailC. producing tasks became smaller and smallerD. goods could be mass produced（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the writer, h
37、ighly skilled workers _.A. completely disappeared with the coming of the factory systemB. were dismissed by the bossC. were unable to produce goods of high standardD. were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the passage, what did the farmers h
38、ave to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?A. Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers.B. They stuck to their farm work.C. They refused to use machines.D. They did their best to learn how to use the machines.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)“We are not a
39、bout to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it. “ Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American high schools owned one
40、 or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become “computer-literate“
41、. By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print-illiterate today.What is “computer literacy“ ? The term itself seems to imply some degree of “ knowing“ about
42、computers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate.Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, b
43、ut also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine (内燃机) works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to ex
44、plain how they work.Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work?Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as
45、the tool is.“Knowing how to use a computer is whats going to be important. We dont talk about automobile literacy. We just get in our cars and drive them. /（分数：10.00）(1).In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to _.A. 79 million B. 100 mil
46、lion C. 30 million D. 70 million（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The underlined part “print-illiterate“ in the text refers to _.A. one who has never learnt printingB. one who has never learnt to readC. one who is not a computer literateD. one who is not able to use a typewriter（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What is the f

Most animals must live in a group, and even a tree or a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing hunts another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain. Some food chains are simple, others are complicated. But all have two things in common-all food chains begin with the su
