Early fires on the earth were certainly caused by nature, not by man. Some were caused by lightning in
15、a storm; others, perhaps by one hot material which came out of a volcano (火山 ). Quite possibly, at times, the heat of the sun set light to some dry grass or leaves. At first, man like other animals, was probably afraid of fire. He saw that fire could destroy a forest; he knew that fire could hurt hi
16、s body. So great was the power of fire that he feared it and worshipped it. Gradually, however, with his better powers of thinking, he overcame his fear. Probably he overcame most of his fear when he discovered how to make fire for himself, but, undoubtedly, he learned some of the uses of fire befor
17、e he could make one when and where he wished. Throughout the ages he has learned more about fire, how to control it, and how to use it in many ways. Now fire is no longer a master or a god, it is a servant. Again, at some early date, Man found how fire could be used to make certain metals from rocks
18、. Some time later, he found out how to make the metal which we now call bronze(青铜 ). This is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze was a very useful metal. It was hard and tough, but he could shape it by hammering (probably with heavy stones). He could make a tool with a sharp edge for cutting. It isn

21、rly fires were made by man （ B） man did not fear the fire at first （ C） man discovered iron much later than bronze （ D） fire is still the master of man Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 30 Ask three people to look
22、 out the same window at a busy street comer and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say th
23、at he sees a policeman giving a cyclist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the sensesin this case our
24、eyestell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many exper
25、iments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 30 According to the passage, when three people look out the same window, _. （ A） they will give three different answers （ B） they will see three different scenes （ C） they cannot s
26、ee clearly （ D） they can only see the busy traffic 31 Three people see the same scene but perceive something different, because _. （ A） a policeman was giving a cyclist a ticket （ B） there was a traffic jam at the intersection （ C） a woman was trying to cross the street with four children （ D） their

30、nswers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks. 35 As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes, and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill ne
31、eds which have been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it
32、 at this level and work shorter hours. I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without
33、 lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relived completely from the routine operations of the home such as vacuuming the floors, or washing the clothes, or making bed
34、s. By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine, is to provide a robot slave which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when so switched by the housewife.
