23、ppeared with the label:“store in the refrigerator.“ In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week.The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and
24、milk became all kinds of cakes.Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food.Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country. The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation.A vast way o
25、f well-tried techniques already existed natural cooling, drying, smoking salting, sugaring, bottling. What refrigeration did promote was marketing marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price. Consequently, mos
26、t of the worlds fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary.Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificial
27、ly-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house-awhile outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge. The fridges effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant, If you dont believe me, try it yourself, invest in a
28、 food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter.You may miss the hamburgers, but at least youll get rid of that terrible hum. 21 The statement “In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.“ ( Line 1, Para.2) suggests that_ （ A） the author was well-fed and healthy even without
29、 a fridge in his fifties （ B） the author was not accustomed to use fridges even in his fifties （ C） there was no fridge in the authors home in the 1940s. （ D） the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1940s 22 Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of frid
30、ges? （ A） People would not buy more food than was necessary. （ B） Food was delivered to people two or three times a week. （ C） Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily. （ D） People had effective ways to preserve their food. 23 Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author? （
31、A） Inventors. （ B） Consumers. （ C） Manufacturers. （ D） Travelling salesmen. 23 The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections.Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with humanlike a
32、bility, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure.Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will.It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in t
33、he right software (软件 ) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen. I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅 ) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors.Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design.In a real sense t
34、hey will be able to reproduce themselves.Silicon will have ended carbons long control.And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe. As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of
35、scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves.Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined.Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the
36、construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power. 24 In what way can we make a machine intelligent? （ A） By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space. （ B） By working hard for 10 or 20 years. （ C） By either pr
37、operly programming it or changing its structure. （ D） By reproducing it. 25 What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability? （ A） He believes they will be useful to human beings. （ B） He believes that they will control us in the future. （ C） He is not quite sure in what way they ma
38、y influence us. （ D） He doesnt consider the construction of such machines possible. 26 The word “carbon“ (Line 4, Para.2) stands for “_.“ （ A） intelligent robots （ B） a chemical element （ C） an organic substance （ D） human beings 27 A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when_. （ A） its intelli
39、gence and cost are beyond question （ B） it is able to bear the rough environment （ C） it is made as complex as the human brain （ D） its architecture is different from that of the present ones 28 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） after the installation of a great number of cells and con
40、nections, robots will be capable of self-reproduction （ B） with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability （ C） once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will possess intelligence （ D） robots will have c
41、ontrol of the vast, man-made world in space 28 After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report.The damage and death toll could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake.By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensit
42、y that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims. Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m.on a holiday, when traffic was light on the citys highways.In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years h
43、ave strengthened the citys buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes. Despite the good news, civil engineers arent resting on their successes.Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake-resistant buildings.The new designs should offer even greater security to
44、cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking.Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundati
45、on to reduce the impact of ground vibrations.The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquakes vibrations.When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer woul
46、d force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes. 29 One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is
47、 that_. （ A） new computers had been installed in the buildings （ B） it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways （ C） large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday （ D） improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways 30 The function of the
48、 computer mentioned in the passage is to_. （ A） counterbalance an earthquakes action on the building （ B） predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy （ C） help strengthen the foundation of the building （ D） measure the impact of an earthquakes vibrations 31 The smart buildings discussed in the
49、 passage_. （ A） would cause serious financial problems （ B） would be worthwhile though costly （ C） would increase the complexity of architectural design （ D） can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes 32 It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on_. （ A） the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction （ B） the development of fl
