17、cturing processnot invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891, although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just how
18、 creative Ford was at combining technology and market. 2 The companys assembly line alone threw Americas Industrial Revolution into overdrive(高速运转 ). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Fords friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to eac
19、h Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Fords Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响 )along in 1914, the worlds first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes. 3 The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5-a-day minimum Wage scheme, the greatest contribution he h
20、ad ever made. The average Wage in the auto industry then was $2. 34 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didnt involve an awful lot of training or education.
21、 The Wall Street lournal called the plan “an economic crime“ and critics everywhere laughed at Ford. 4 But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Fords dream to make the automobile accessible(可及的 )to all The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford

25、ty for economic and social progress in the world, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold. Mo
26、bility of this kind means also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one presumes that only eccentrics have an interest in being credited with a sta
27、rtling discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been reassured to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect. In the twentieth
28、 century, and particularly in the last twenty years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aero plane, making contact between scholars even in most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for
29、the very rapid transmission of knowledge. Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centers of learning, an
30、d a far greater number of scholars and students. In addition, one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests ale preci
31、sely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries. 31 It can be concluded from the passage that “academic mobility“_. （ A） means the friendship formed by scholars on the trip （ B） is a program initiated by g
32、overnments （ C） has been put great emphasis on in the world （ D） means going abroad in search of the best teacher 32 The word “eccentric“ in the second paragraph most probably means_. （ A） a rather strange person （ B） a person of no exceptional ability （ C） an ambitious person （ D） peculiar or unusu
33、al 33 In the eyes of the author, what happens to a scholar who shares his ideas with his colleagues? （ A） He risks his ideas being stolen. （ B） He gains recognition for his achievement. （ C） He is considered as an eccentric. （ D） He is credited with a startling discovery. 34 According to the passage

36、 of coming to a foreign country to live. The act of leaving ones country to settle in another is called emigration.

37、o pull up roots in their native land and move to a strange country. But throughout history, countless millions of people have done so. The heaviest immigration worldwide took place from the early 1800s to the Great Depression-the economic hard times of the 1930s. In that period, about 60 million peo
38、ple moved to a new land. Most came from Europe. More than half immigrated to the United States. Other destinations included Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Today, the availability of fast, safe and cheap transportation helps make migration easier. Asia is replacin
39、g Europe as the major immigrant-sending area. The United States remains the chief receiving nation. People forsake their homeland and move to another country for various reasons. The main reason for immigration has long been economic opportunity-the lure of better land or a better job. During the 18
40、00s, for example, the rich prairie land of the United States and Canada attracted many European farmers. Today, professional people commonly emigrated because of better opportunities elsewhere. Such emigration has sometimes been called brain drain. For example, many Philippine doctors and nurses and
41、 numerous Indian engineers and scientists have moved to the United States and Australia. Religious persecution has led many people to move to a new land for the freedom to practice their faith. Such immigrants include Jews expelled from England in the 1200s. Wars, revolutions, and political unrest h
42、ave driven innumerable people to find new homes. In the 1990s alone, millions of refugees fled from warfare in Iraq, Rwanda, Liberia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Some immigrants were brought to a new land against their will. From the 1500s to the 1800s, Europeans shipped black Africans to the Western He
43、misphere as slaves. The United Kingdom transported convicts to Australia from the late 1700s to the 1860s to relieve over crowding in British jails. Before that time, the United Kingdom sent convicts to the American colonies. Immigrants have made enormous contributions to the culture and economy of
44、such nations as Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Argentina, Brazil, Canada and the United States. But their accomplishments have been made with great difficulty. Many of the receiving countries have restricted immigration to maintain a homogeneous society in which all the people shared the same ethni
45、c, geographic, and cultural background. Although some immigration laws have been relaxed, many newcomers of different backgrounds still face challenges in gaining acceptance. 36 Most immigrants to the United States in the nineteenth century came from_. （ A） Asia （ B） Europe （ C） Australia （ D） South
