18、the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 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-
19、care conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep 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 Washi
20、ngton, local governments are encouraging companies to 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 teleco
21、mmuting 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 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
22、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 the doctor. These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impo
23、ssible 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 necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done. Management, too, must se
24、parate 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 availability of technology, that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement. That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the num
25、ber 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. （ B） Driving to work. （ C） Extending the workplace by means of computers. （ D） Computers for child-care purposes. 22 Which of the following i
26、s NOT mentioned as a problem for employers that is potentially 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 men
27、tion as a possible disadvantage of telecommuting? （ A） 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 h
28、ave 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 developing plans for a space station. （ B） A computer technician repairing an office computer network. （ C） A technical writer sending via comp
29、uter documents created at home. （ D） A teacher directing computer-assisted learning in a private school. 25 What attitude does the local government adopt on starting telecommuting programs in Seattle? （ A） Object. （ B） Prevent. （ C） Encourage. （ D） Neglect. 25 So long as teachers fail to distinguish
30、 between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be
31、 taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.“ Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficie
32、nt system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process
33、 is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading
34、a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.“ When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when
35、 teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. 26 The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_. （ A） it is one of the most difficult school courses （ B） students spend endless hours in
36、reading （ C） reading tasks are assigned with little guidance （ D） too much time is spent in teaching about reading 27 The teaching of reading will be successful if_. （ A） teachers can improve conditions at school for the students （ B） teachers can make their teaching activities observable （ C） teach
37、ers can devise the most efficient system for reading （ D） teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading 28 The word “scrutiny“ (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means “_“. （ A） inquiry （ B） observation （ C） control （ D） suspicion 29 According to the passage, learning to read will no
38、 longer be a difficult task when_. （ A） children become highly motivated （ B） teacher and learner roles are interchangeable （ C） teaching helps children in the search for knowledge （ D） reading enriches childrens experience 30 The main idea of the passage is that_. （ A） teachers should do as little
39、as possible in helping students learn to read （ B） teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible （ C） reading ability is something acquired rather than taught （ D） reading is more complicated than generally believed 30 In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone
40、 very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call
41、 during sleeping hours, he assumes its a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U. S. A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three o
42、r four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different part
43、s of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently; promptness (准时 ) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U. S. no one would think of keeping a b
44、usiness friend waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 31 “The same meaning is attached to telephone
45、 calls made after 11:00 p. m.“. Here “attached“ means_. （ A） taken （ B） drawn （ C） given （ D） shown 32 Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at midnight, this would mean_. （ A） the matter is less important （ B） the matter is somewhat important （ C） the matter requires immediate attention （ D）
46、 it is a matter of life and death 33 According to this passage, time plays an important role in_. （ A） private life （ B） everyday life （ C） transmission （ D） social life 34 According to the passage, the author of the article may agree with which of the follow statements? （ A） It is appropriate to se
47、nd your invitation cards three of four days before a dinner party date in the U.S. （ B） It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some cultures. （ C） It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much le
48、ss. （ D） If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology. 35 Why does the time chosen for the call communicate its importance? （ A） It depends on the different culture. （ B） It depends on the understanding to the life. （ C） It depends on the social explanation. （ D） It depends on
49、the feeling to the time. 35 The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide. “The most worrisome development is a culture of drug-friendliness that seems to be gaining prominence (显著 ) ,“ said the UNs 13-member International Narcotics Control Board in a report released in late February 1998. The 74-page study says that pop music, as a global industry, is b
