19、kinds of problems related to office work. For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with child-care conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes lateness and absenteeism by eliminating commuters, allows periods o
20、f solitude for high-concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In some areas, such as Southern California, Seattle, and Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour traffic and improve air quality. But these benef
21、its do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images. Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to th
22、e quiet Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes into his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child: she hooks up her telephone modern connections and does office work between calls to
23、the doctor. These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize, much less respect, the necessa
24、ry 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. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employees situation, not the a
25、vailability of technology, that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement. That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work-at-home programs of policy guidelines remains small. 21 What is the main subject of the passage? （ A） Business management policies. （
26、 B） Driving to work. （ C） Extending the workplace by means of computers. （ D） Computers for child-care purposes. 22 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem for employers that is potentially solved by telecommuting? （ A） Employees lateness for work. （ B） Employees absence from work. （ C）
27、 Employees need for time alone to work intensively. （ D） Employees conflicts with second jobs. 23 Which of the following does the author mention as a possible disadvantage of telecommuting? （ A） Small children cannot understand the boundaries of work and play. （ B） Computer technology is never advan
28、ced 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. 24 Which of the following is an example of telecommuting as described in the passage? （ A） A scientist in a laboratory dev
29、eloping plans for a space station. （ B） A technical writer sending via computer documents created at home. （ C） A computer technician repairing an office computer network. （ D） A teacher directing computer-assisted learning in a private school. 25 What attitude does the local government adopt on sta
30、rting telecommuting programs in Seattle? （ A） Object. （ B） Encourage. （ C） Prevent. （ D） Neglect. 25 This summer, for the first time, Emory College let freshmen pick their own roommates in an online roommate-selection system that works on the same principles as computer dating. Students, using scree
31、n names to hide their identities, posted profiles of themselves detailing, personality attributes, work habits, music and food preferences, and answers to questions like whether they hoped to “do almost everything“ with their roommate or “lead separate but compatible lives“. Roommate-matching is a s
32、ummer ritual that plunges college housing offices into the most intimate realm of sleep patterns, cleaning habits, and noise tolerance. Online matching is on the cutting edge. Housing officials at Emory, in Atlanta, say they expect that letting students pick their own roommates will increase the lik
33、elihood of compatibility. And theres little risk of hurt feelings if the e-mail exchanges do not lead to a match, since the initial round of contacts is done under screen names. Several studies have shown that roommates have an impact on the attitudes and social behavior of those they live with. And
34、 one recent study found that a roommates academic performance has a small, but statistically significant, effect on the other roommates grade-point average. Other studies, however, did not find that effect. The business of assigning roommates varies widely across the country. At Davidson College, th
35、e housing staff sort every freshman with careful hand-selection. The Davidson philosophy is that roommates should be as similar as possible, while halls should be as diverse as possible. “We had a match that seemed perfect, until we discovered that one was a cattle ranchers son and the other was a v
36、egan(绝对素食者 ),“ said Ms. Kromm. “They should definitely meet, on the same hall. But we didnt want to put them in the same room. “ Occasionally, an incoming student asks to be paired with an Asian, or says she might not be able to get along with a Republican. In such cases, Ms. Kromm will remind them
37、that Davidson does not accept roommate preferences based on race, ethnicity, and religion. Davidsons care in matching pays off. “By Christmas last year, we had only four requests for roommate changes out of 480 students. “ No one knows whether computer-matching works as well. But at Emory, so far, s
38、tudent reaction seems to be telling something: the online system is overwhelmed with clicks. 26 In computer matchmaking, initially students do not reveal their_. （ A） personalities （ B） identities （ C） habits （ D） hobbies 27 If e-mail exchanges between students fail to find a match, the students inv
39、olved_. （ A） will end up with hurt feelings （ B） will stop using their screen names （ C） wont feel embarrassed or discouraged （ D） wont have another chance to contact others 28 Both computer matching and hand selection follow the principle of_. （ A） putting students with similarities together （ B） m
40、eeting all legitimate demands of students （ C） letting students pick their own roommates （ D） seeking diversity in roommate matching 29 It can be inferred from the passage that computer matching_. （ A） is unlikely to be a great success （ B） is a novelty with unknown results （ C） will not be as good
41、as expected （ D） will soon replace hand selection 30 We can learn that students in general_the online roommate-matching system. （ A） question （ B） reject （ C） ignore （ D） welcome 30 A concept car developed by Japanese company Nissan has a breathalyzer-like detection system and other instruments that
42、 could help keep drunk or over tired drivers off the road. The cars sensors check odors inside the car and monitor a drivers seat for traces of alcohol. An in-car computer system can issue an alert or even lock up the ignition system if the driver seems over-the-limit. The air odor sensors are fixed
43、 firmly and deeply in the driver and passenger seats, while a detector in the gear-shift knob measures perspiration from the drivers palm. Other carmakers have developed similar detection systems. For example, Swedens Volvo has developed a breathalyzer attached to a cars seat belt that drivers must
44、blow into before the engine will start. Nissans new concept vehicle also includes a dashboard-mounted camera that tracks a drivers alertness by monitoring their eyes. It will sound an alarm and issue a spoken warning in Japanese or English if it judges that the driver needs to pull over and rest. Th
45、e car technology is still in development, but general manager Kazuhiro Doi says the combination of different detection systems should improve the overall effectiveness of the technology. “ For example, if the gear-shift sensor was bypassed by a passenger using it instead of the driver, the facial re
46、cognition system would still be used,“ Doi says. Nissan has no specific timetable for marketing the system, but aims to use technology to cut the number of fatalities involving its vehicles to half 1995 levels by 2015. 31 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the Japanese concept car? （ A
47、） It has a sensor system that could issue a warning if the driver is drunk. （ B） It has sensors that detect traces of alcohol inside the car. （ C） It has sensors locked up in the ignition system. （ D） It has a breathalyzer-like detection system. 32 What has Volvo developed? （ A） The same detection s
48、ystem mentioned in the previous paragraph. （ B） A breathalyzer attached to a cars seat belt. （ C） A smart car seat belt. （ D） An intelligent engine. 33 What is the function of the camera mentioned in Paragraph 4? （ A） It monitors the drivers eyes to see if he needs a rest. （ B） It judges if the driv
49、er wants to pull over. （ C） It judges if the driver wants to take a rest. （ D） It issues an alarm when the driver speaks. 34 According to Doi, _. （ A） the overall effectiveness of the detection technology has improved （ B） Nissan is making a timetable to market the detection system （ C） it is impossible to improve the overall effectiveness of the detection system （ D） Nissan aims to improve the detection technology to
