II. Reading Comprehension

Directions:

There are 12 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested

answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given

to

them

by

machines.

The

machines

were

designed

by

mad

scientists,

but

at

some

point

even

the

mad

scientists

were

taken

over

by

their

super-inventions.

Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One

of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that

is not completely understood.

The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and

the

robots

are

controlled

by

computers.

Our

bank

accounts

are

managed

by

computers.

At

the

airport,

our

tickets

are

sold

by

a

computer.

Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And

this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t k

now what they might do

next.

But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by

them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (

奇才

) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and

women,

usually

university

students,

are

happy

to

sit

for

hours,

sometimes

for

days,

designing

programs,

not

eating,

not

sleeping,

but

discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the

computer and search for new tasks for their machines.

161. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines _____________.

A. are careless in their daily life

C. are out of their mind

B. are unkind and cruel

165. The author's attitude (

Passage Two

Knowledge is power. But there is another thing we must remember. An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it most useful.

There are a great many good exercises for building up our bodies. Many of them may be done indoors in rainy weather. Indoor exercises,

however, are never as helpful as those taken out of doors because in the open air there is more oxygen. The air in the house is not fresh. But

out of doors it is very fresh, especially in the morning.

But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball, races and so on. Any game with plenty of exercises is

good.

Do

not

neglect

your

health.

is

of

much

importance

as

your

mind.

country

now

with

minds,

judgment, and healthy bodies.

Passage Three

word

范文

Survival is an art. Survivors are artists. The best acting is done in daily life, not on the stage. My late uncle Sir Alexander Korda, the

motion-

picture producer who could “charm money out of an empty safe”, was a gifted survivor.

Once, a group of investors called him in to complain that he had lost 5 000 000 of their money. Most men would have tried to defend

themselves. Alex did not. “You are right,” he said quietly, “I have been wasteful, and careless. I have chosen the wrong scri

pts, paid too little

attention to the budgets. I am too old for this business. I will retire. I on

ly hope you will forgive me.”

Within an hour, the investors were busy encouraging Alex, cheering him up. It was out of the question for him to resign; they

wouldn’t

hear it. And by lunchtime, Alex had 2 000 000 more of their money and was back in the action again. When I asked him if he was happy about

it, he said, “No. They would have put up three or four million, I think. Still, it’s a good lesson for you to learn. Always s

ettle for less than you

could get. It doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a gentleman.”

D. to be able to get money even if it looks impossible

？

A. He would resign and live miserably.

B. He would be considered a gentleman.

C. The investors would not forgive him.

D. The investors would give him more money.

174. Alex did not defend himself because
