10、through the center. 10 Another thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are. Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic. There is a good r
11、eason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from travelling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesnt pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into
12、 a mans eyes or into the spaceships instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home. As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, h
13、e can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep.

18、the prehistoric times of computer history, the early post-war era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our pe
19、rsonal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction (
20、失灵 ). Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to
21、be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills. 16 What is the main purpose of this passa
22、ge? （ A） To look back to the early days of computers. （ B） To explain what technical problems may occur with computers. （ C） To discourage unnecessary investment in computers. （ D） To warn against the blindness to the probable shortcomings of computers. 17 The passage recommends those dealing with c
23、omputers to _. （ A） be reasonably doubtful about them （ B） check all their answers （ C） substitute them for basic thinking （ D） use them for business purpose only 18 An “internal computer“ (Para. 2) is_. （ A） a computer used exclusively by one company for its own problems （ B） a persons store of kno
24、wledge and the ability to process it （ C） the most up to date in home computer a company can buy （ D） a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable 19 The passage suggests that the present day problem with regard to computers is_. （ A） challenging （ B） psychological （ C） dramatic （ D） over
25、-trusting 20 It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of_. （ A） computer science courses in high schools （ B） businessmen and women who use pocket calculators （ C） maintenance checks on computers （ D） companies which depend entirely on computers 20 There was one thought t
26、hat air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of
27、 air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing
28、concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect“ conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees,
29、 much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature a result that would be equally disastrous
30、. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the
31、field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now. 21 As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _. （ A
32、） caused widespread damage in the countryside （ B） affected the entire eastern half of the United States （ C） had damaging effect on health （ D） existed merely in urban and industries areas 22 As to the greenhouse effect, the author _. （ A） shares the same view with the scientists （ B） is uncertain
33、of its occurrence （ C） rejects it as being ungrounded （ D） thinks that it will destroy the world soon 23 The word “offset“ in the second paragraph could be replaced by _. （ A） slip into （ B） make up for （ C） set up （ D） catch up with 24 It can be concluded that _. （ A） raising the worlds temperature
34、 only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth （ B） lowering the worlds temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster （ C） almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade （ D） the worlds temperature will remain constant in the years
35、 to come 25 This passage is primarily about_. （ A） the greenhouse effect （ B） the burning of fossil fuels （ C） the potential effect of air pollution （ D） the likelihood of a new ice age 25 What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life
36、such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities. We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far
37、 from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our st
38、andard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, c
39、lothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society. 26 What we need in life is divided into _ according to this article. （ A） the ba
40、sic necessities and luxury （ B） many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses （ C） four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense （ D） the basic necessities and reliable income 27 A person who gets the basic necessities must _according to the writer. （ A） have a
41、 reliable income （ B） learn how to please his manager （ C） finish his work ahead the time （ D） get a good education 28 We all enjoy _. （ A） having only reliable income （ B） having reliable income and extra income （ C） having nothing more than food and clothing （ D） having nothing more than reliable
42、income 29 With time going on, _. （ A） a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get （ B） the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller （ C） a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged （ D） the basic needs can be changed into a luxury 30 If most of the people of a country have a t
43、elevision, we _. （ A） can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter （ B） can say the television must be in the basic necessities （ C） cannot say the television is in the basic necessities （ D） can say every family must have one 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structur
