24、oosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 42 It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very. first job. She decided to start out half an
25、 hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprises“, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She ta
26、pped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had he interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite differen
27、t now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were lau
28、ghing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk neare
29、st to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the days work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out th
30、at he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35 , so that his staff knew exactly when to start working. 43 Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because_. （ A） it was her first day in a new job （ B） she was a little bit lat
31、e for work （ C） she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place （ D） there was no answer from inside the office 44 Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as_. （ A） she had been there only once （ B） Mr. Smith was not in the office （ C） nobody was doing any work （ D） the office had
32、a new appearance 45 The people in the office suddenly started working because_. （ A） they saw a stranger in the office （ B） their morning break was ended （ C） no one wanted to talk to Marie （ D） the boss was about to arrive 46 We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise_. （ A） wo
33、uld start their work by listening to a joke （ B） were cold to newcomers （ C） were always punctual for work （ D） lacked devotion to the company 47 The best title for this text would be_. （ A） Punctual Like a Clock （ B） A Cold Welcome （ C） An Unpunctual Manager （ D） Better Late Than Never 47 In 1954 a
34、 taming point in medical history, resulting from applied bionics, was the first“ open heart“ surgery done in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Dr. W. Lilleheis techniques for the first time allowed the patient to be operated on while blood was supplied to the patient from a donor. Today “open heart“ surger
35、y , using more complicated methods and bionic devices, is common in the United States. Important technological advances such as those already mentioned have encouraged scientists to develop the artificial heart. Early in 1983, in its first use by a human patient, a medical team at the University of
36、Utah Medical Center replaced the diseased heart by a Jarvik-7. The world watched amazed as television pictures of Dr. Clark showed him as he improved steadily after the surgery. His continued life demonstrated that a bionic device could imitate the action and function of a healthy heart. Dr. Clark l
37、ived for 112 days. Life-like or bionic machines have existed for several centuries. The development of tools by mans ancestors is a good example of the application of bionics to extend human capabilities. Modern bionic research is especially involved in prosthetics devices that substitute for, or re
38、place lost or diseased body parts such as arms, legs, and eyes. Recent advances in electronics have enabled scientists to make better use of electrical impulses in the control of prosthetic devices. One interesting research project is the development of an artificial eye in which video signals are t
39、ransformed into light patterns that are sent into nerve receptors in the patient. The future for applied bionics seems to be promising. Existing bionic devices will become smaller, faster, and more effective. The artificial heart used for Dr. Clark is only one of experimental replacement devices. It
40、 is likely to be joined in the future by replacements for other internal systems or organs. Bionic livers, stomachs, and lungs are not impossibillties ! 48 Which of the following does this passage mainly discuss? （ A） The application of bionics. （ B） The first “open heart“ surgery. （ C） The developm
41、ent of the artificial heart. （ D） The future of applied bionics. 49 According to the passage, it was Dr. W. Lillehei that_. （ A） first developed applied bionics （ B） was the first to operate on the heart of a patient （ C） developed the artificial heart （ D） used more sophisticated methods to do “ope
42、n heart“ surgery 50 By “Dr. Clark lived for 112 days“ , the author most probably means that_. （ A） the replacement of Dr. Clark s heart was a failure （ B） there was still a long way to go in applied bionics （ C） applied bionics was promising （ D） the first artificial heart was most effective 51 The
43、control of artificial devices is improving because_. （ A） video signals can be transformed into light patterns （ B） bionic machines have existed for centuries （ C） artificial devices such as arms, legs and eyes require better control than bionic machines （ D） science has made great advances in elect
44、ronics 52 The authors attitude towards applied bionics is_. （ A） critical （ B） approving （ C） objective （ D） questioning 52 Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food contained
45、in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products - or to ask their parents to buy for them. So
46、me packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is
47、free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size“ or“ Family Size“ printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. T
48、o find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. O
49、nly the product inside can do that. 53 “A buyer will get something for nothing “in Paragraph 2 most probably means that_. （ A） a buyer will not get what he pays for （ B） a buyer will get more than what he pays for （ C） a buyer will get something useful free of charge （ D） a buyer will get more but pay less 54 From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to_. （ A） the size of a container
