This income is used to pay regular and day-to-day expenses such as rent, food, m
14、ovies, gasoline, newspapers, haircuts, and so on. But sup-pose a person is faced with an unexpected expense too big to be paid out of current income, it may be an illness or costly household repairs. In Frank and Sandy Dexters case, the roof on their house had to be replaced. They did not have enoug
15、h savings to cover the cost, so they borrowed the money needed. They then repaid the loan with small and regular payment out of their future income. By using credit, they avoided what might have been a serious hardship.Credit also enables consumers to buy goods and services when they need them most.
16、 For example, when does a married couple most need a house? While their children are young and living at home. It would take most couples many years to save enough money to pay cash for a house. By then, their children would be grown, and the house would not be needed so much. In the meanwhile, they
17、 would have to continue paying rent out of current income. By using credit, a couple can buy a house and live n it while they pay for it. The money they would otherwise spend for rent could go to the payment.What is true of houses is true of many goods that consumers buy today, such as appliances, a
18、utomobiles, and furniture. By using credit, consumers can “buy now and pay later“ as the ads say. They have the use of the goods while paying for them. Today many high school graduates are using credit to pay for additional education. They will pay off their loan with money earned in the future from
19、 full-time jobs.20 By using credit, people can_.（A）pay regular and day-to-day expenses（B） avoid unnecessary payment（C） save money to cover future cost（D）pay an unexpected expense too big to be paid at the moment21 A married couple most needs a house_.（A）after they have spent years saving enough mone
20、y to buy it in cash（B） when their children have grown up（C） when their children are still young and living at home（D）when they can rent it out of current income22 “The money they would otherwise spend for rent could go to the payment“ means_.（A）they would rent the house（B） they had bought the house（
21、C） they wouldnt pay for the house（D）they could buy the house otherwise23 With regard to credit, what do houses have in common with goods that consumers buy today?（A）Both can be bought on credit.（B） Neither can be used until the loan has been paid.（C） Both must be paid as soon as they are bought.（D）B
22、oth should be paid in cash.24 Whats true of high school graduates today?（A）They cant get additional education without money.（B） They can get additional education without payment.（C） They can have additional education when they have full-time jobs（D）They can have additional education now and pay for
23、it later.24 Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often dont clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few for example, the average among student
24、s is about 6 per person.Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship.“ In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.At the beginn
25、ing, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with peop
26、le when there is a big difference in age and background.We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness
27、, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not
28、trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence.Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.“ The more closely involved
29、people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasi
30、onally meet for a drink!In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome
31、 differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.25 Which of the following factors are very important in developing friendships?（A）Age and background.（B） Economic and social positions.（C） Race and looks.（D）Same interests and behavior.26 The passage tells us that sometimes a
32、face with the wrong expression could be mistaken as a sign of_.（A）nervousness（B） confidence（C） unfriendliness（D）distrust27 When people talk about “being on the same wavelength,“ they mean that_.（A）they watch the same TV programs（B） they are the same in all respects（C） they listen to the same radio p
33、rograms（D）they understand and agree with each other28 We learn from the passage that_.（A）friendship can overcome differences in experience（B） there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendship（C） putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendship（D）friendship can be strengthened by

38、r terminal. But computers are also used in unseen ways. For example, they determine how much time there should be between traffic signals to prevent traffic problems and to keep millions of cars moving in an orderly flow. When you buy a car, a factory process that is controlled by a computer enables
39、 you to obtain a car with your own choice of colors and special features in just a few weeks time. In medical laboratories, computers have reduced the mistakes in testing, and they have saved doctors countless hours of work. Before long, medical histories of all Americans will be kept in computer “b
40、ands“. If a person becomes ill far from his home, local doctors will be able to get his medical record immediately. In science, the computer has performed in minutes experiments which would have required thousands of hours of work by human hands and minds.Most experts agree that computers are necess
41、ary to solve the problems of increasing population, city living, and public affairs. Without computers, the jobs of solving these problems would require millions of workers to do tons of paperwork. Before any computer can work on any problem, it must be told what to do. Someone must program the comp
42、uter, step-by-step. At first this was done by having the programmer write out his instructions in the form of numbers which would be “understood“ by the machine. Within a short time, attempts were made to perform a system that would enable humans to communicate more easily with machines. Different “
43、languages“ were developed by means of which the programmer could use words that had meanings for them, and another program in the machine would translate the words into the computers number system.Without special training, it is impossible to understand exactly how a computer does its work. However,
44、 many people without scientific training use computers in their daily lives. In some American schools, for example, young children are being taught by computers for part of the school day.The use of computers in school has worried some Americans. There are those who fear it will remove human element
45、 from teacher-student relationships. On the other hand, there are educators who consider computer program a valuable means of freeing teachers from the more boring and tiring tasks, thus enabling them to spend more time with a single student.In education, as in business and industry, science and med
46、icine, computers play an important part in almost every type of operation. The future will bring major advances in computer technology, which will aid man in his efforts to improve the world.32 The author has written the passage mainly for_.（A）young children（B） experienced operators（C） common reader

49、D）computers could give teachers the opportunity to spare time to deal with students respectively35 Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?（A）The world will enjoy the beautiful picture of the computers.（B） Computer technology will change the human life.（C） Computer would work freely in the future.（D）Computer would work with a great memory-storage and at highest speed.二、Cloze35 The Open Unive
