They have undoubtedly gone far beyond the expectations of a generat
19、ion that had already lived under the spell(一段时间 ) of the TV set. Throughout history there have been inventions that have been particularly remarkable and influential(有影响力的 ) within the scope of transport, education, health or communication. They have brought out comfort, health, knowledge or power.
20、Some of them have produced minor effects; others have brought about very great changes. Think of the invention of the wheel, the automobile or the printing press, and what about the computer? At the beginning the computer was thought mainly as an instrument to be used in the mathematical field, but
21、soon people from other sciences began to get interested in this little “brain“ that was capable of performing thousands of operations in a few seconds without getting tired or confused. They realized it could not only store millions of pages of information but also organize it in every possible way
22、enabling man to carry out tasks unthinkable by other means. Computers are now everywhere. They can make vehicles at supersonic(超音速的 ) speed and precision; they can control world banking transactions(交易 ), predict weather conditions, conduct an aircraft or a space craft, play instruments, manage nucl
23、ear weapons; they can operate on human patients, they can transfer information from one continent to another in seconds, they can.they can.they can.

28、 task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their
29、parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents oft
30、en underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not ye
31、t been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are lead
32、ers in style and state. Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you cant win but at least you can kee
33、p your honor. This is a passive way of looking at thing. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be p
34、art of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. 41 The author is primarily addressing _. （ A） parents of t
35、eenagers （ B） newspaper readers （ C） those who give advice to teenagers （ D） teenagers 42 The first paragraph is mainly about _. （ A） the teenagers criticism of their parents （ B） misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents （ C） the dominance of the parents over their children （ D） the tee
