11、here are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

12、5 Telecommuting-substituting the computer for the trip to the job-has been hailed as a solution to all kinds of problems related to office work. For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with childcare conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep h
13、igh performers on board, minimizes lateness and absenteeism by eliminating commuters (经常乘火车往返者 ), allows periods of solitude(独处 ) for high concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In some areas, such as Southern California, Seattle, and Washington, local governments are encouraging
14、companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour traffic and im-prove air quality. But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images. Ma
15、ny workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the quiet Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant st
16、ays home to care for her sick child; she hooks up her telephone modern connections and does office work between calls to the doctor. These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecom-muting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care
17、 for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize, much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done. Management, too, must separate the myth from the reality. Alth
18、ough the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employees situa-tion, not the availability of technology, that precipitates (加速 来临 ) a telecommuting arrangement. That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work-a
19、t-home programs or policy guidelines remains small. 16 What is the main subject of the passage? （ A） Bussiness management policies. （ B） Driving to work. （ C） Extending the work place by means of computers. （ D） Computers for child-care purposes. 17 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a probl

22、echnology is never advanced enough to accommodate the needs of every situation. （ C） Electrical malfunctions can destroy a project. （ D） The worker often does not have all the needed resources at home. 20 Which of the following is example of telecommuting as described in the passage? （ A） A scientis

24、rtainment. Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. (78) If you think that you cant have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little resourcefulness and a few minutes of newspaper- scanning should give you some pleasant surprises. People may be the most interesting
25、show in a large city. Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. (79) You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you II get a free fashion show, too. Window - shopping is also a safe sport - if the sto
26、res are closed. Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably wont cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial advertisements too. A
27、flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store. Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, since these plac
28、es often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the indispensable sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free wal
29、king tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city in a new perspective once you know more about its history or its architectural treasures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all. 21 Which of the following statements is NOT tru
30、e? （ A） There are many kinds of amusements you can enjoy with spending no money. （ B） The film shown at the local public library is often free of charge. （ C） Local colleges often hold meetings to debate the issues people are interested in. （ D） You should be a tourist if you want to know more about

But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited Englan
34、d, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is
35、 that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south. Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and
36、makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo(竹 ) and many semi-tropical(亚热带的 ) plants grow well in the southwest of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟 ) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables
37、and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of Englands most popular holiday areas. 26 The distance from the cente
38、r of England to the south coast is about_. （ A） one hundred miles （ B） threes hundred miles （ C） one hundred and fifty miles （ D） six hundred miles 27 England is a country_. （ A） with a cold and wet climate （ B） with a surprising climate （ C） with a pleasant climate （ D） with a variety of climates 2
39、8 According to the passage, _. （ A） flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlier （ B） farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere （ C） people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowers （ D） vegetables in Cornw
