26、rked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Calvin Coolidge (18721933) was the thirtieth president of the United States. He looked down on a person as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the detail
27、s of other peoples actions and private lives; he had no time for small talk. The following two incidents clearly show how Coolidge treasured silence. When he was vice-president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunity to participate in Washingtons social life, especially the many dinner parties. Because
28、of his complete disregard for the art of conversation, he couldnt exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of former President Theodore Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, brilliant conversationalist, be
29、gan to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to awake interest on the part of vice-president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into annoyance, she said, “Im sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored. “ Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Cool
30、idge said not very clearly, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere. “ Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those people who seem to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they meet. “Oh, Mr. Preside
31、nt,“ she spoke with too much enthusiasm,“yu are always so quiet. I made a bet (打赌 ) today that I could get more than two words out of you. “ In anger, the president made a low, rough sound and then said, “You lose. “ 31 President Coolidge considered those people as being unworthy of respect_. （ A） w
32、ho liked to talk about the affairs of others （ B） who never talked about anything serious （ C） who spoke insincerely （ D） who talked much but did little 32 Why didnt the hostesses like Calvin Coolidge? （ A） He paid no attention to the skills of conversation. （ B） He treated women coldly. （ C） He was

34、de to awake the vice-presidents interest had failed 34 What is meant by “take delight in“? （ A） To arouse interest in. （ B） To get much benefit from. （ C） To receive great pleasure from. （ D） To take advantage of. 35 The story shows that President Coolidge_. （ A） was a man of few words, but with hum
35、our （ B） was bad-tempered, but very polite to women （ C） was always quiet, and had no sense of humour （ D） was often silent because he hated people changing his habit 35 Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes c
36、an be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the works canteen, and the school dining room. It is unusual now for father to continue
37、 his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their fathers occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money,
38、and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a childs home life, the number of married women in employment having more
39、 than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant (支配的 ) figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great valu
40、e if mothers employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school. 36 The writer compares home to a workshop because_. （ A） fathers often pursue employment at home （ B） parents have to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life （ C） many families produce go
41、ods at home for sale （ D） both fathers and mothers in most families are workers 37 The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means_. （ A） in the past, home was more like a workshop （ B） home is much more of a workshop now （ C） home-workshops are becoming fewer and fewer （ D） h
42、ome was less like a workshop in the past 38 The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their fathers occupation is_. （ A） that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work （ B） that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more （ C） that there is a wide
43、choice of employment for children （ D） that children also like to have jobs outside 39 What makes father no longer be the only dominant person in a family? （ A） With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life. （ B） There are many choices of employment for mothe
44、rs and children. （ C） Father does much less for his children today than he used to. （ D） The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now. 40 It is implied in this passage that_. （ A） mothers have the practice to go to work （ B） working mothers have no time to stay with their chil
45、dren at home （ C） young wage-earners are economically independent （ D） mothers position in a family has been raised 40 The physicist investigating the relationship between time and space, the chemist exploring the properties of a new substance, the biologist probing the mysteries of the continuity o
46、f life, and the anthropologist searching for human origins share a common trait of curiosity. Not that non-scientists are not curious, most people possess this characteristic. The scientist, however, uses a specific method to make research into these enigmatic (如谜的 , 难以理解的 ) problems the scientific
47、method. Unfortunately, science and its method are misunderstood. The multiplication of our knowledge in medicine and technology has led to the idea that science can cure all and explain all and that only enough time, money and intelligence are needed. In truth, science cannot provide all answers. In
48、 fact, many phenomena are not even subject to scientific explanations. On the other side of the coin, science has been attacked as a cause of most contemporary problems. It is said to be responsible for the depersonalization (人格解体，人性丧失 ) of the individual, for stripping creativity from human behavio
49、r, and for creating massive threats to the species through the development of nuclear power, insecticides, and polluting machinery. If we analyze the situation, we can see that it was not the original intent of the people who developed computers to debase humankind, nor was mass production proposed as a method to crush creativity. It is what society, policymakers especially,
