17、otal of 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 short answer questions.Please read the passages and then write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.TEXT A Design of all the new tools and implements is based on careful experiments with electronic instruments.First,a human“guinea pig”is tested using a regular
18、tool.Measurements are taken of the amount of work done,and the buildup of heat in the body.Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well,it has been found,as joints and muscles in their normal positions.The same person is then tested again,using a tool designed according to the sugges
19、tions made by Dr.Tichauer.All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old.One of the electronic instruments used by Dr.Tichauer,the myograph,makes visible through electrical signals the work done by human muscle.Another machine measures any dangerous features of tool
20、s,thus proving information upon which to base a new design.One conclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to use than one with four legs.This work has attracted the attention of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineers,but its value
21、goes far beyond that.Dr.Tichauers first thought is for the health of the tool user.With the repeated use of the same tool all day long on production lines and in other jobs,even light manual work can put a heavy stress on one small area of the body.In time,such stress can 共 11 页 第 5 页 cause a disabl
22、ing disease.Furthermore,muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard.Efficiency is the by-product of comfort,Dr.Tichauer believes,and his new designs for traditional tools have proved his point.31.What are involved in the design of a new tool according to the passage?A)Electronic instruments and a regu
23、lar tool.B)A human“guinea pig”and a regular tool.C)Electronic instruments and a human“guinea pig”.D)Electronic instruments,a human“guinea pig”and a regular tool.32.From the passage we know that joints and muscles perform best when _.A)they are twisted and stretched B)they are in their normal positio
24、ns C)they are tested with a human“guinea pig”D)they are tested with electronic instruments 33.A“myograph”(Para.2,Line 1)is an electronic instrument that _.A)is able to design new tools B)measures the amount of energy used C)enable people to see the muscular movement D)visualizes electrical signals 3
25、4.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A)a stepladder used to have four legs.B)it is dangerous to use tools C)a tripod is safer in a tool design D)workers are safer on production lines 35.Dr.Tichauer started his experiments initially to _.A)improve efficiency B)increase production C)reduce wor
26、k load D)improve comfort TEXT B More and more,the operations of our businesses,governments,and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories.Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward.Even worse,a number o
27、f people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.Its easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is 共 11 页 第 6 页 doing.But even if the crime is detected,the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowi
28、ng recommendation from his former employers.Of course,we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected.But its disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident,not by systematic inspections or other security procedures.The computer criminals who have been caught
29、 may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers,who must leave the country,commit suicide,or go to jail,computer criminals sometimes escape punishment,demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits.All too
30、 often,their demands have been met.Why?Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused.They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right und
31、er the noses of the companys executives,accountants,and security staff.And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.36.It can be concluded from the passage that _.A)it is still impossible to detect computer crimes today B)people com
32、mit computer crimes at the request of their company C)computer criminals escape punishment because they cant be detected D)computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions 37.It is implied in the third paragraph that _.A)most computer criminals who are caught b
33、lame their bad luck B)the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem C)most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes D)many more computer crimes go undetected that are discovered 38.Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A)A strict law again
34、st computer crimes must be enforced B)Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation C)Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation D)Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information 39.What may happen to computer crimin
35、als once they are caught?A)With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B)They may walk away and easily find another job.C)They will be denied access to confidential records D)They must leave the country to go to jail.共 11 页 第 7 页 40.The passage is mainly about _.A)why computer criminals a
36、re often able to escape punishment B)why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspections C)how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employers D)why computer crimes cant be eliminated TEXT C It is 3 A.M.Everything on the university campus seems ghos
37、tlike in the quiet,misty darknesseverything except the computer center.Here,twenty students rumpled and bleary-eyed,sit transfixed at their consoles,tapping away on the terminal keys.With eyes glued to the video screen,they tap on for hours.For the rest of the world,it might be the middle of the nig
38、ht,but here time does not exist.This is a world unto itself.These young computer hackers are pursuing a kind of compulsion;a drive so consuming it overshadows nearly every other part of their lives and forms the focal point of their existence.They are compulsive computer programmers.Some of these st
39、udents have been at the console for thirty hours or more without a break for meals or sleep.Some have fallen asleep on sofas and lounge chairs in the computer center,trying to catch a few winks but loathe getting too far away from their beloved machines.Most of these students dont have to be at the
40、computer center in the middle of the night.They arent working on assignments.They are there because they want to be-they are irresistibly drawn there.And they are not alone.There are hackers at computer centers all across the country.In their extreme form,they focus on nothing else.They flunk out of
41、 school and lose contact with friends;they might have difficulty finding jobs,choosing instead to wander from one computer center to another.They may even forgo personal hygiene.I remember one hacker.We literally had to carry him off his chair to feed him and put him to sleep.We really feared for hi
42、s health,says a computer science professor at MIT.Computer science teachers are now more aware of the implications of this hacker phenomenon and are on the lookout for potential hackers and cases of computer addiction that are already severe.They know that the case of the hackers is not just the sto
43、ry of one persons relationship with a machine.It is the story of a societys relationship to the so-called thinking machines,which are becoming almost everywhere.41.We can learn from the passage that those at the computer center in the middle of the night are_.A)students working on a program B)studen
44、ts using computers to amuse themselves C)hard-working computer science majors D)students deeply fascinated by the computer 42.Which of the following is NOT true of those young computer hackers?A)Most of them are top students majoring in computer programming.共 11 页 第 8 页 B)For them,computer programmi
45、ng is the sole purpose for their life.C)They can stay with the computer at the center for nearly three days on end.D)Their love for the computer is so deep that they want to be near their machines even when they sleep.43.It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that _.A)the hacker phenomenon e
46、xists only at university computer centers B)university computer centers are open to almost everyone C)university computer centers are expecting outstanding programmers out of the hackers D)the hacker phenomenon is partly attributable to the deficiency of the computer centers 44.The authors attitude
47、towards the hacker phenomenon can be described as _.A)affirmative B)contemptuous C)anxious D)disgusted 45.Which of the following may be a most appropriate title for the passage?A)The Charm of Computer Science B)A New Type of Electronic Toys C)Compulsive Computer Programmers D)Computer Addicts TEXT D
48、 Public officials and candidates for public office routinely use public opinion polls to keep track of what the people are thinking.An important question is the degree to which these polls should guide leaders in their actions.There are arguments for and against the use of polls as the basis for pol
49、icy decisions.Polls can contribute to effective government by keeping political leaders from getting too far out of line with the publics thinking.In a democratic society,the effectiveness of a public policy often depends on the extent of its public support.When a policy is contrary to the publics d
50、esires,people may choose to disregard or undermine it,thus making it counterproductive or inefficient.Further,when government pursues a course of action with which a large proportion of the public disagrees,it risks a loss of public confidence,which can have a negative effect on its ability to lead.
