23、r short. Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments. They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports.

24、e room provides the best chance to get to know other students.Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand. Some dorms are organized into areas called suites.

Without a car, most p
30、eople feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesnt feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didnt know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheel
31、s. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car
32、 people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other p
33、arts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans dont like to wait for a bus or a tr
34、ain or even a plane. They dont like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public tra
35、nsportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.41 When do most Americans feel they are poor?（A）When they dont have a car.（B） When they live in a huge country.（C） When they dont use planes.（D）When they have a car.42 Which of the following is NOT th
36、e reason why cars become popular in the United States?（A）The United States is not so huge.（B） Public transportation is not so convenient.（C） Americans like to be independent.（D）Americans like to move around.43 What public transportation is good in the United States?（A）Buses.（B） Trains.（C） Taxis.（D）P
37、lanes.44 What has caused a big problem for Americans?（A）A new kind of car.（B） Public transportation.（C） The gas shortage.（D）Poor people.45 Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?（A）Cars have made the nation on wheels.（B） Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage
38、.（C） Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.（D）Cars have made American independent.45 There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with the facts and relation
39、ships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the
40、progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other peoples likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.
41、 What scientists discover may shock or anger peopleas did Darwins theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But its hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic b
42、oom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor, The legitimate purpose of technology i
43、s to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.46 Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?（A）Science provides answ
44、ers to theoretical questions.（B） Science seeks to comprehend the universe.（C） Science aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them.（D）Science serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.47 Which of the following statements about techno
45、logy is NOT true?（A）Technology provides answers to practical problems.（B） Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.（C） Technology helps change the material world.（D）Technology has to do with new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life.48 According to the author, s
46、cientific theories( ).（A）must be strictly objective（B） usually pay attention to peoples likes and dislikes（C） should conform to popular opinions（D）always convince everyone49 The author states that technology itself( ).（A）is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustion（B） should serve those who
47、wish to gain advantage for themselves（C） will lead to a better world if put to wise use（D）will inevitably be for bad motivation50 The tone of the author in this passage is( ).（A）ironical（B） critical（C） factual（D）arbitrary二、Cloze50 For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.
