21、ET. 20 Telecommutingsubstituting the computer for the trip to the jobhas 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 child-care conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps ke
22、ep high performers on board, minimizes lateness and absenteeism by eliminating commuters, allows periods of 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
23、start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour traffic and improve 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. Many workers are
24、 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 into his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to car
25、e 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. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young chi
26、ld 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. Although the media h
27、as paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employees situation, not the availability 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
28、guidelines remains small. 21 What is the main subject of the passage? （ A） Business management policies. （ 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 pot
29、entially solved by telecommuting? （ A） Employees lateness for work. （ B） Employees absence from work. （ C） 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）
30、 Small children cannot understand the boundaries of work and play. （ B） Computer technology 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. 24 Which of the
31、following is an example of telecommuting as described in the passage? （ A） A scientist in a laboratory developing 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 directi
32、ng computer-assisted learning in a private school. 25 What attitude does the local government adopt on starting telecommuting programs in Seatde? （ 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 onl
33、ine roommate-selection system that works on the same principles as computer dating. Students, using screen 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
34、 almost everything“ with their roommate or “lead separate but compatible lives“. Roommate-matching is a summer 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 a
35、t Emory, in Atlanta, say they expect that letting students pick their own roommates will increase the likelihood 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 h
36、ave shown that roommates have an impact on the attitudes and social behavior of those they live with. And 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 t
37、hat effect. The business of assigning roommates varies widely across the country. At Davidson College, the 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
38、a match that seemed perfect, until we discovered that one was a cattle ranchers son and the other was a vegan (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 Asia
39、n, or says she might not be able to get along with a Republican. In such cases, Ms. Kromm will remind them 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 c
40、hanges out of 480 students. “ No one knows whether computer-matching works as well. But at Emory, so far, student 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） identit
41、ies （ C） habits （ D） hobbies 27 If e-mail exchanges between students fail to find a match, the students involved_. （ 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 ma
42、tching and hand selection follow the principle of_. （ A） putting students with similarities together （ B） meeting 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 matchin
43、g_. （ A） is unlikely to be a great success （ B） is a novelty with unknown results （ C） will not be as good 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
44、car developed by Japanese company Nissan has a breathalyzer-like detection system and other instruments that 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
45、alert or even lock up the ignition system if the driver seems over-the-limit. The air odor sensors are fixed 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 syst
46、ems. For example, Swedens Volvo has developed a breathalyzer attached to a cars seat belt that drivers must 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 an
47、d issue a spoken warning in Japanese or English if it judges that the driver needs to pull over and rest. The 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
48、example, if the gear-shift sensor was bypassed by a passenger using it instead of the driver, the facial recognition 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
49、half 1995 levels by 2015. 31 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the Japanese concept car? （ A） 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 system mentioned in the previous paragraph. （ B） A breathal
