15、more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disa
16、greements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance for other peoples claims in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a
17、 society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social chang
18、e is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of soc
19、iety than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.36 The passage is mainly discussing_.（A）the necessity of social change（B） certain factors that de
20、termine the ease with which social changes occur（C） different types of social change in two different societies and in different aspects（D）certain factors that promote social change37 _ is NOT one of the factors that tend to promote social change.（A）Greater worldly interest（B） Different points of vi
21、ew（C） Greater tolerance（D）Advanced technology38 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?（A）Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.（B） Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change.（C） Social ch
22、ange is less likely to occur in the material aspect of society.（D）Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.39 The expression “greater tolerance“(Paragraph 1)refers to_.（A）greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas（B） quicker adaptation to chan
23、ging circumstances（C） more respect for different beliefs and behavior（D）greater willingness to accept social change40 Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because_.（A）people there have identical needs and they are satisfied with everything（B）
24、 people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change（C） people there are easy to please（D）people there are less disappointed40 Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both
25、 these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “
26、 ivory towers“(象牙塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in th
27、e UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man“ , as the Bi
28、ble says, “does not live by bread alone. “ Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for t
29、he funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.41 We can know from the first paragraph that the author_.（A）believes traditional universities have d
30、one a good job serving the community（B） believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society（C） thinks some experts require too much of universities（D）thinks universities should do more than just research and teach42 It can be inferred from the second paragraph that_
31、.（A）society is not satisfied with the present college education（B） interference from the government is unwelcome（C） teachers are forced to do what they don t like to do（D）it s a mistake for universities to teach courses of no commercial use43 The example of Aristotle indicates that_.（A）universities
32、in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates（B） universities should stop teaching philosophy（C） high technology is now valued more than other courses in universities（D）universities should put more stress on computer science44 According to the passage, literature, music and the arts_.（
33、A）contribute directly to economic growth（B） are as necessary to man as medical and social services（C） are justified since they bring profits（D）are a good way of earning money45 The author implies that_.（A）economy should always be a nations first consideration（B） universities should take cost into ac
34、count when they decide what courses they will offer（C） successful musical plays are part of national economy（D）economic growth is not the only need of mankind45 It s time to stop complaining. The economy might be melting down like a pat of(一小块)butter on a hot Hummer( 悍马)roof, but for some people you
35、, maybe? this could be a very good thing.Here s why. At no other time in recent history has it been easier or cheaper to start anew kind of company. Possibly a very profitable company. Let s call these start-ups LILOs, for “a little in, a lot out“. These are Web-based businesses that cost almost not
36、hing to get off the ground yet can turn into great moneymakers.How do you get started? All that s required is a great idea for a product that will fill a need in the 21st century. These days you d do best if your idea either makes people money or saves them money. And launching now will make your co
37、mpany stronger lateryoull learn to survive on fumes until the economy improves.That s what John Tayman is doing. He s a writer living in San Francisco, where I met him; he wrote reviews for a business magazine I edited. Tayman knew little about technology and even less about business. And yet he dre
38、amed of a website that would summarize car reviews from other sources and rank every model of new car. “Itll be like RottenTomatoes. com meets Kelley Blue Book,“ he explained to me during lunch one day last June. Tayman said he intended to build the site on the side while continuing to write for a l
39、iving. He d work on his new company only at night and on weekends. Oh, yes, and he had only about $ 10, 000. “Good luck with that!“ I thought. Ideas are much easier to hatch than they are to execute.Tayman went to work with nothing more than his PowerBook laptop. A very organized fellow, he quickly
40、discovered a lot of freebies(免费的东西 )onlineinstructional manuals and sites aimed at bootstrappers(靠自我奋斗取得成功的人) that walk you through the process from start to finish. The common wisdom would suggest that Tayman couldn t have picked a worse time to start a company that depends on automotive advertisin
41、g. But he knew that going in(被理解). “I wanted to launch into(开始从事，投入)the dip so that by the time advertising improves, my site MotorMouths will be sitting pretty,“ he says.46 What does the author think of the Web-based businesses?（A）They are very easy to operate.（B） They cost nothing to run at all.（C
42、） They are sure to be big-profit companies.（D）They need little investment but can make big profit.47 What is essential to start your Web-based company according to the passage?（A）Starting the business as early as possible.（B） A good idea which is helpful for people to make or save money.（C） Low-cost
43、 products used to be trade.（D）Practical products with good quality.48 What can we know about John Tayman?（A）He is a writer who specializes in writing reviews for business magazines.（B） He is familiar with technology and business.（C） He wishes to run a Web-based business with a small sum of money.（D）
44、He is an expert in summarizing car reviews.49 What does the author imply by saying “Ideas are much easier hatch . to execute. “?（A）He is unconfident about Tayman s success.（B） Ideas are easier to make than to realize.（C） Tayman cant be successful at all.（D）Tayman needs to learn more executive skills
45、.50 What is Tayman s attitude towards his MotorMouths future?（A）Hopeless.（B） Satisfied.（C） Optimistic.（D）Unconfident.50 By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can
46、 be found almost anywhere,but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to
47、 be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and
48、are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally ge
49、t out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is w
