阅读材料，回答题。

In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era(战后时期), there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over trusting (过分信任) of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons maybe pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失灵).

Obviously, there would be no point in investing(投入) in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

What is the main purpose of this passage？查看材料

A.To look back to the early days of computers

B.To explain what technical problems may occur with computers

C.To discourage unnecessary investment in computers

D.To warn against the blindness to the probable shortcomings of computers

阅读下文，回答题

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,they usually get paid in money.

Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.

Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.

The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the cen-ter. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.

Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.

But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80) The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper moneused toda .

Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for serv- ices？查看材料

A.To sell a bicycle for $20

B.To get some money for old books at a garage sale

C.To buy things you need or want

D.To get paid for your work

阅读材料，回答题。

No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him-water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.

The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most useful book.

From this passage， we know that________ 查看材料

A.man never made sounds

B.man made animal sounds

C.man used to be like animals to make sounds

D.man learned from the animals to make sounds

阅读材料，回答题。

On November 19,1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.

It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, &39;alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again". On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed".

Some newspapers at first criticized the speech, but little by little as people redid the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

Today, every American school child learns Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.

In 1863， Abraham Lincoln was__________ 查看材料

A.very critical

B.unpopular

C.very popular

D.very courteous

阅读下文，回答题

The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸) to perform. operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.

To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. (79) The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation re-quires only 3 or 4 needles.

Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. (80) They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a nee-dle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.

A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

Acupuncture is__________. 查看材料

A.a medical operation

B.a medical needle

C.a medical technique

D.a medical machine

阅读材料，回答题。

Television has changed the lifestyle. of people in everyindustrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologistshave studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.

Television, although not essential, has become an importantpart of most people’s lives. It alters people&39;s ways of seeing the World; inmany ways, it supports and sustains(维持) modem life. Televisionhas become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitterof culture and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in oneday is critically .analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not ateacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate(提高)people into greater, understanding, but rather maintains and encouragesthe life as it exists.

The primary reason for the lack of quality in Americantelevision is related to both the history of TV programming development and theeconomics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companiesand their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationshipwhich the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American.TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actuallyproduced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarilyconcerned" with reflecting and attracting society rather thanexperimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewingaudience possible&39;. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining ratherthan educational, attractive rather than challenging.

Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with thesame organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope forfurther development and true achievement-toward improving society will requirea change in the entire system.

According to theauthor， American television is poor in quality because________ 查看材料

A.advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideas

B.it is still at an early stage of development， compared withthe radio

C.the programs have to be developed in the interests of thesponsors for economic reasons

D.it is controlled by radio companies
