Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there a

20、re four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Office jobs among the positions hardest hit by computation (计算机自动化). Word processors and typists wil

21、l lose about 93 000 jobs over the next few years, while 57 000 secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today, many executives type their own memos and carry their “secretaries” in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68 000. And em

22、ployees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business, telephone operator

23、 Judy Dougherty pursued retaining. She is now a communications technician, earning about $ 64 000 per year. Of course, if youve been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourself replaced by an E-ZPass machine, it may be of little consolation (安慰) to know that the telecomm field

24、 is booming.And thats just it: The service economy is fading; welcome to the expertise (专门知识) economy. To succeed in the new job market, you must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupationsair-traffic controllerdemand at least a bachelors degree.For t

25、hose with just a high school diploma (毕业证书), its going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available, whats left will be the jobs that computation cant kill: Computers cant clean offices, or care for Alzheimers patients (老年痴呆病人). But, since most pe

26、ople have the skills to fill those positions, the wages stay painfully low, meaning computation could drive an even deeper wedge (楔子) between the rich and poor. The best advice now: Never stop learning, and keep up with new technology.For busy adults, of course, that can be tough. The good news is t

27、hat the very technology thats reducing so many jobs is also making it easier to go back to schoolwithout having to sit in a classroom. So-called Internet distance learning is hot, with more than three million students currently enrolled, and its gaining credibility with employers.Are you at risk of

28、losing your job to a computer? Check the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is available online at bls.gov.41. From the first paragraph we can infer that all of the following persons are easily thrown into unemployment EXCEPT _.A. secretaries.B. stock clerks.C. m

29、anagers.D. wholesalers42. In the second paragraph the author mentions the tollbooth collector to _.A. mean he will get benefits from the telecomm fieldB. show he is too old to shift to a new positionC. console him on having been replaced by a machineD. blame the PC for his unemployment43. By saying

30、“ compumation could drive an even deeper wedge between the rich and poor” (Line 5, Para. 4) the author means _.A. people are getting richer and richerB. there will be a small gap between rich and poorC. the gap between rich and poor is getting larger and largerD. its time to close up the gap between

31、 the rich and poor44. What is the authors attitude towards computers?A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. prejudiced45. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?A. Blaming the PCB. The booming telecomm fieldC. Internet distance learningD. Keeping up with compumationQuestions

32、 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Tens of thousands of 18-year-olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas. These diplomas wont look any different from those awarded their luckier classmates. Their validity will be questioned only when their employers discover that the

33、se graduates are semiliterate (半文盲).Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational-repair shopsadult-literacy programs, such as the one where I teach basic grammar and writing. There, high-school graduates and high-school dropouts pursuing graduate-equivalency certificates will lear

34、n the skills they should have learned in school. They will also discover they have been cheated by our educational system.I will never forget a teacher who got the attention of one of my children by revealing the trump card of failure. Our youngest, a world-class charmer, did little to develop his i

35、ntellectual talents but always got by. Until Mrs. Stifter.Our son was a high-school senior when he had her for English. “He sits in the back of the room talking to his friends,” she told me. “Why dont you move him to the front row?” I urged, believing the embarrassment would get him to settle down.

36、Mrs. Stifter said, “I dont move seniors. I flunk (使不及格) them.” Our sons academic life flashed before my eyes. No teacher had ever threatened him. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty good about this. It was a radical approach for these times, but well, why not? “Shes going to flunk you,” I to

37、ld my son. I did not discuss it any further. Suddenly English became a priority (头等要事) in his life. He finished out the semester with an A.I know one example doesnt make a case, but at night I see a parade of students who are angry for having been passed along until they could no longer even pretend

38、 to keep up. Of average intelligence or better, they eventually quit school, concluding they were too dumb to finish. “I should have been held back,” is a comment I hear frequently. Even sadder are those students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class, “I dont know ho

39、w I ever got a high-school diploma.”Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates having basic skills. We excuse this dishonest behavior by saying kids cant learn if they come from terrible environments. No one seems to stop to think that most kid

40、s dont put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at risk. Theyd rather be sailing.Many students I see at night have decided to make education a priority. They are motivated by the desire for a better job or the need to hang on to the one theyve got. They have a healthy fear of

41、 failure. People of all ages can rise above their problems, but they need to have a reason to do so. Young people generally dont have the maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it. But fear of failure can motivate both.46. What is the subject of this essay?A. view point

42、on learningB. a qualified teacherC. the importance of examinationD. the generation gap47. How did Mrs. Sifter get the attention of one of the authors children?A. flunking him.B. moving his seat.C. blaming him.D. playing card with him.48. The author believes that the most effective way for a teacher

43、is to _.A. purify the teaching environmentsB. set up cooperation between teachers and parentsC. hold back studentD. motivate student49. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that the authors attitude toward flunking is _.A. negativeB. positiveC. biasedD. indifferent50. Judging from the content

44、, this passage is probably written for _.A. administratorsB. studentsC. teachersD. parentsQuestion 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Names have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education. As colleges strive for market share, they are looking for names that pr

45、oject the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make. Trenton State College, for example, became the College of New Jersey nine years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state.“All I hear in higher education is, Brand, brand, bra

46、nd,” said Tim Westerbeck, who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne, a marketing firm based in Chicago that works with universities and other nonprofit organizations. “There has been a sea change over the last 10 years. Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher e

47、ducation.”Not all efforts at name changes are successful, of course. In 1997, the New School for Social Research became New School University to reflect its growth into a collection of eight colleges, offering a list of majors that includes psychology, music, urban studies and management. But New Yo

48、rkers continued to call it the New School.Now, after spending an undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing consultants creation of “naming structures,” “brand architecture” and “identity systems,” the university has come up with a new name: the New School. Beginning Monday, it will adopt n

49、ew logos (标识), banners, business cards and even names for the individual colleges, all to include the words “the New School.”Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived. In altering its name from Cal State, Hayward, to Cal State, East Bay, the universi

50、ty hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban counties east of San Francisco.The University of Southern Colorado, a state institution, became Colorado State University at Pueblo two years ago, hoping to highlight many internal changes, including offering more graduate programs and se

51、tting higher admissions standards.Beaver College turned itself into Arcadia University in 2001 for sever reasons: to break the connection with its past as a womens college, to promote its growth into a full-fledged (完全成熟的) university and, officials acknowledged, to eliminate some jokes about the col

52、leges old name on late-night television and “morning zoo” radio shows.Many college officials said changing a name and image could produce substantial results. At Arcadia, in addition to the rise in applications, the average students test score has increased by 60 points, Juli Roebeck, an Arcadia spo

53、kes woman, said.51. Which of the following is NOT the reason for colleges to change their names?A. They prefer higher education competitionB. They try to gain advantage in market share.C. They want to project their image.D. They hope to make some changes.52. It is implied that one of the most signif

54、icant changes in higher education in the past decade is _.A. the brandB. the college namesC. the concept of marketingD. list of majors53. The phrase “come up with” (Line 3, Para. 4) probably means _.A. catch up withB. deal withC. put forwardD. come to the realization54. The case of name changing for

55、m Cal State, Hayward, to Cal State indicates that the university _.A. is perceived by the societyB. hopes to expand its influenceC. prefers to reform its teaching programsD. expects to enlarge its campus55. According to the spokes woman, the name change of Beaver College _.A. turns out very successf

56、ulB. fails to attain its goalC. has eliminated some jokesD. has transformed its statusQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:It looked just like another aircraft from the outside. The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964. But appearances were deceptive, and the 13

57、 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives.Insides, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded (填塞) from floor to ceiling, it looked a bit strange. There were almost no windows, but lights along the padded wal

58、ls illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out, apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of fear.For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space

59、 Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions.For the next two hours, the flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens before rushing towards Earth. The invention was to achieve

60、 weightlessness for a few seconds.The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds. Then th

61、e engines cut out and we became weightless. Everything became confused and left or right, up or down no longer had any meaning. After ten seconds of free-fall descent (下降) the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive. The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss, but was still sudden

62、enough to ensure that some students came down with a bump.Each time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless, a new team conducted its experiment. First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feet. Then the German team who conducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if it could be used for building a future space station. The Americans had an idea to create solar sails that could be used by satellites.After two hours of going up and down in the lane doing their experiments, the predominant feeling was one
