Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways.One of the most interesting new use
10、s for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibers as thin as human hair, which are designed to can-y light signals. When the light reaches the other end, it is first changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted into sound messages.Called light wave com
11、munication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1997. During the experiment, two glass fibers were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 144 glass fibers, has the capacity to carry 50,000 conversations at the same time.The l
12、ightwave communication system has two important advantages. First, the glass fiber cables are smaller and weigh less than copper. Second, they cost less.Perhaps it can be said that telephone communication has entered the age of light.21 One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carr

17、ers to carry telephone messages is an interesting new development. 25 American has long been considered the land of opportunity by those from other countries. Americans, too, believe that the United States provides almost limifiess opportunity for those who want to open businesses on their own.Today
18、, Americans are still fond of trying their hand at becoming small business people, even though only one out of two survives the first two years. Many of these people start their businesses for the wrong reasons: to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility
19、of their present jobs for freer life styles. But more, not less, paper work and responsibility come with ownership of a small business. John Shuttleworth, owner of the recently successful life-ecology news magazine Mother Earth, reports having had to work sixty hours straight in order to bring out t
20、he first issue.John Shuttleworth waited years after conceiving the idea for Mother Earth before he attempted to put out the first issue. During that time, he collected as much information as he could about his proposed venture. He borrowed books about business from the library; he talked to people a
21、lready established in the field; and he began planning in detail the amount of money and the kinds and numbers of supplies he would need. When he finally opened with a capital of $1,500, he set up his office in the kitchen of his home and his printing press in the garage. Due to his devotion to busi
22、ness his managerial skill, and his talent, Mother Earth now has a circulation of 300,000:Not all small business succeed as well as Mother Earth has. Fifty percent of the 450,000 that start in the United States every year fail. Still, ninety-five percent businesses in the States can be described as s
23、mall. Combined, these businesses account for forty percent of Americas gross national product.26 According to this passage, many people start their own businesses for the wrong reasons. The reasons are wrong because they do not realize that _.（A）their own businesses will provide large income but les
24、s responsibility（B） their own businesses will not relieve them from paper work and responsibility（C） their own businesses will require longer working hours but less paper work（D）their own businesses could easily fail 27 Before John Shuttleworth started his business, he _.（A）borrowed money（B） waited
25、for a good time to open his business（C） developed an inadequate plan（D）studied, prepared a plan, and trained himself 28 _ of all businesses in the United States are small.（A）225,000（B） 50%（C） 95%（D）450,00029 This passage is mainly about _.（A）John Shuttleworth（B） starting a small business（C） America（
26、D）the failure of businesses 30 In the second paragraph “straight“ means _.（A）continuously（B） honestly（C） alone（D）not curved 30 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 o
27、r less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems; and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think i
28、t is true that parents often 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 entertainments and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world
29、into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainments or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a smal
30、l way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.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
31、win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. 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
32、 life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the ways 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.31 The author is primarily addr
33、essing _.（A）parents of teenagers（B） newspapers readers（C） those who give advice to teenagers（D）teenagers 32 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
34、）the teenagers ability to deal with crises 33 Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they _.（A）want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own（B） have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste（C） have no other way to enjoy themselves better（D）want to irr
35、itate their parents 34 Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they _.（A）have already been accepted into the adult world（B） feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults（C） are not likely to win over the adults（D）have a desire to be independent 35 To imp
36、rove parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be _.（A）obedient（B） responsible（C） cooperative（D）independent 35 What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence? A few effects suggest themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness
37、, injury, or fire from remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the multi-story residence or office building, it has made possible - for better or worse - the modern city. By bringing about a great leap in the speed and space with which information moves from place to place, it h
38、as greatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological changes and growth in industry. Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened if not killed the ancient art of letter writing. It has made living alone possible for person with normal social impulses; by doing so it has played a role in one of
39、 the greatest social changes of this century, the breaking up of the multi-generational household. It has made the war chillingly more efficient than formerly. Perhaps though not provable (可证实), it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of international misunderstanding caused by written comm
40、unication. Or perhaps-again not provable-by magnifying and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice contact it impartially disseminates (传播) the useful knowledge of scientists and the nonsense of the ignorant, the affection of the affectionate and the malice (恶意) of the malicious.36 Wh
41、at is the main idea of this passage?（A）The telephone has helped to save people from illness and fire.（B） The telephone has helped to prevent wars and conflicts.（C） The telephone has made the modern city neither better nor worse.（D）The telephone has had positive as well as negative effects on us. 37

44、bles people to live alone if they want to（C） spreads both love and ill will（D）replaces much written communication 40 The writers attitude towards the use of the telephone is _.（A）affectionate（B） approving（C） disapproving（D）neutral 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following pas
45、sages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 One of the advantages of taking notes is that it forces you to pay closer attention to the class lecture. If you l
46、isten【36】to a professor who is talking on and on for an hour or so, your mind will often【37】and your attention will lessen. You are sitting in class and listening, but that【38】you are doing;【39】, when you listen actively you have to pay more careful and【40】attention to what【41】. This is because you
47、are trying to【42】what you hear into an【43】, shortened written form. As a foreign student, you may find【44 】very difficult to listen and write notes【45】at the same time. It is difficult【46】, but you will learn how to do【47】with practice. You【48】afraid you will forget what you are listening to【49】you
48、are listening and writing at the same time, but the studies of researchers【50】the value of note-taking in【51】lecture material have shown that learners remember【52】reproduced in some note form much better than lecture information they have listened to【53】down in note form.
