8、rrent problems? First, we can help destroy the false impression that science and engineering have caused the current world trouble. On the contrary, science and engineering have made vast contributions to better living for more people. Second, we can identify the many areas in which science and tech
9、nology, more considerably used, can be of great service in the future than in the past to improve the quality of life. While we can make many speeches, and pass many laws, the quality of our environment will be improved only through better knowledge and better application of that knowledge. Third, w
10、e can recognize that much of the dissatisfaction we suffer today results from our very successes of former years. We have been so greatly successful in attaining material goals that we are deeply dissatisfied that we cannot attain other goals more rapidly. We have achieved a better life for most peo
11、ple, but we are unhappy that we have not spread it to all people. We have reduced many sources of environmental disasters, but we are unhappy that we have not conquered of them. It is our raised expectations rather than our failures which now cause our distress. Granted that many of our current prob
12、lems must be cured more by social, political, and economic instruments than science and technology, yet science and technology must still be the tools to make further advances in such things as clean air, clean water, better transportation, better medical care, more adequate welfare programs, purer
13、food, conservation resources, and many other areas. 11 The author thinks that science and technology_。 （ A） have caused the current world problems （ B） have made life better for more people （ C） will, if not in the past, better peoples life in the future （ D） can not bring a better life for most peo

18、se being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about ones fellow man? “Not so“, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to pr
19、obe the reasons why people didnt act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency. Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk, is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma from diabetes? Or is he about to sleep off
20、 a drank? Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes“, or is it really smoke from a fire? Its not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible
21、. He must feel that he must help, or the person wont get the help he needs. The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested“. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started
22、them off on the “tests“. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room“ and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets filling and cry for help. All of this had been pm-recorded on a tape-recorder. Eight out of ten of the studen
23、ts taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of the ten helped. Of the students in group, none helped. In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, neednt. They do not feel any direct responsibility. Are
24、people bothered by situation where people are in trouble? Yes, scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt that other persons trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
25、16 The purpose of the passage is_. （ A） to explain why people fail to act in emergencies （ B） to explain when people will act in emergencies （ C） to explain what people will do in emergencies （ D） to explain how people feel in emergencies 17 Which of the following is not tree? （ A） When a person tri
26、es to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency. （ B） When a person tries to help others, he should know whether they are worth his help. （ C） A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help. （ D） A person with a heart attack n
27、eeds the most. 18 The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when_. （ A） they are in pairs （ B） they are in groups （ C） they are alone （ D） they are with their friends 19 The main mason why people fail to act when they stay together is that （ A） they ar
28、e afraid of emergencies （ B） they are reluctant to get themselves involved （ C） others will act if they themselves hesitate （ D） they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help 20 The author suggests that_. （ A） we shouldnt blame a person if he fails to act in emergencies （ B） a p
29、erson must feel guilty if he fail to help （ C） people should be responsible for themselves in emergencies （ D） when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway 21 The rise of “temp“ work has further magnified the decreasing fights and alienation of the worker. It is common corporate practice to
30、phase out full-time employees and hire temporary workers to take on more workload in less time. When facing a pressing deadline, a corporation may pay $15 $20 per hour for a temp worker, but the temp worker will only see $7 or $8 of that money. The rest goes to temp agency, which is usually a corpor
31、ate chain, such as Kelly Services, that blatantly makes its profits off other peoples labor. This increases profits of the corporations because they can increase a workload, get rid of the employee when theyre finished, and not worry about paying benefits or unemployment for that employee. I have ha
32、d to work with temps a few times in my current position, and the workers only want one thing - a full-time job with benefits. We really wanted to hire one temp I was working with, but we could not offer her a full-time job because it would have been a breach in our contract with the temp agency that
33、 employed her. To hire a temp full-time, we would have had to pay the agency over a thousand dollars. Through this practice and policy, the temp agency locks its temporary workers into a horrible new form of servitude form which the worker cannot break free. Furthermore, corporate powers push worker
34、s to take on bigger workloads, work longer hours, and accept less benefits by instilling a paranoia in their workforce. The capitalist bosses assume dishonesty, disloyalty, and laziness amongst workers, and they breed a sense of guilt and fear through their assumptions. Where guilt doesnt seep in, b
35、itterness, anger, and depression take over, the highest priorities of Big Business are to increase profits and limit liabilities. Personal relations and human needs are last on their list of priorities. So what we see is a huge mass of people who are alienated, disempowered, overworked, mentally and
36、 physically ill and who spend the vast majority of their time and energy on their basic survival. They are denied a chance to really “love“, because they are forced to make profits for the capitalists in power. 21 Which of the following can NOT be listed as a reason for corporations hiring temporary
37、 workers and phasing out full-time employees? （ A） Corporations intend to leave more workload to temporary workers. （ B） Temp workers are generally well-trained and can achieve high efficiency. （ C） Corporations can reduce their production cost by employing temp workers. （ D） Corporations can benefi
38、t a great deal from keeping a small full-time work force. 22 According to the first paragraph, which statement is TRUE? （ A） Temp worker seem to be satisfied with their conditions. （ B） Temp agencies have made it possible for temp workers. （ C） Temp workers are fairly paid by their agencies. （ D） It

40、 the ignorance of the temp workers 24 The authors attitude toward the temp workers can be described as_. （ A） amicable （ B） depressed （ C） sympathetic （ D） hostile 25 The word “liabilities“ in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_. （ A） risks in hiring temp workers （ B） duties distributed to
