George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, b
7、ut his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better. George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized t
8、own. He really liked the place and didn“t like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there. Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons,
9、 the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises (加工资) for his workers. Somehow, he
10、 had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang. His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future un
11、less it could attract and keep men like him. Manley rubbed his forehead (前额); his problems seemed endless.（分数：7.00）(1).Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).The job that had been offered to George Strong in Birmingham paid better.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.N

The most sophist
14、icated (先进的) Japanese robots, which have vision systems and work at very high speeds, are still based on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe. 2. Although industrial robots were or
15、iginally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest uses are for more skilled work like welding (焊接), spray-painting and assembling components. 3. In Britain, robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wag
16、e rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineers now have more experience with robots and are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively. 4. It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an
17、 equivalent job. 5. It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an enormous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all materials published in Japan. 6. The reliability of robots is measured in their M. T. B. F. or mean time between failur
18、es. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 18 hours a day for two years). One way robot manufacturers have increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small sample
19、. 7. The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quality control. Once programmed, the robots can work more accurately and consistently than humans, who can get tired and bored.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 2 1 A. Ongoing Research B. Extension of Use

22、 Soccer Player Great?Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that waywas it through training and practice, or are great players “born, not made“? First, these players came from places that have ha
23、d famous stars in the pastplayers that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate (效仿). In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cupthree from South America and three from Western Europe. There has never been a great national teamor a really great playerfrom North Amer
24、ica or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four. Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood (聚居区)a poor, crowd
25、ed area where a boy“s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles (甲壳虫乐队), had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball“ made of rag
26、s (破布). And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums (贫民窟) of Belfast. All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn“t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greate
27、st players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the author, which of the following statements is true?（分数：3.00）A.Great soccer players are born, not made.B.Truly great players are rare.C.Only six countries have ever had famous soccer st

29、ayers live in slum areas.B.people in poor areas are born with some unique quality.C.children in poor areas start playing football at the age of 3 or 4.D.many great soccer players come from poor areas.(4).In the last paragraph the statement “only one became Pele“ indicates that（分数：3.00）A.Pele is the

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa
32、 tree (可可树) by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500“s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today. The potato is a
33、lso from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine (饥荒)“ of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their h
34、omeland and move to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world“s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it i
35、s native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400“s. According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake

In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriend“s house, and we were wa
40、tching a moviea terribly romantic movie. He (the hero of the movie) was in love, she (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking. My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in her mother“s purse, and she gave one to me. It was my first time. My parents didn“t care much. They both smoked,
41、 and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers don“t grow tall, but I was already 5“6“ (taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that “ fact .“ In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in the ad
42、s were so good-looking and so successful, and the women werewell, they were beautiful and sophisticated (老于世故的). I read a book called How to Stop Smoking. The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what?“ I thought. The book didn“t say that smoking can tak
43、e away years of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative effects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes. I didn“t pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy,
44、 and I thought I was taking good care of myself. Then two events changed my mind. First, I started to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didn“t get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years ago,
45、 and we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit. “No more cigarettes, ever,“ I said to myself. However, it was very hard to stop. Nicotine (尼古丁) is a drug; as a result, cigarettes cause a powerful addiction. I tried sever
46、al times to quit on my ownwithout success. I made excuses. I told myself: Smoking helps me keep my figurei.e. I don“t gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly, I“m a free, liberated woman. I can smoke when I want to. Finally, I ran out of excusesI migh
47、t say my excuses went up in smoke. I joined the “Stop Smoking“ program at the local hospital, which also ended up in failure.（分数：15.00）(1).How the writer started smoking shows the powerful influence of（分数：3.00）A.educational institutions.B.one“s social status.C.the mass media.D.public opinions.(2).Th
