第一节 共 15 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 30 分 A One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank issued credit card They give their owners automatic credit in stores restaurants and hotels at home across the country and even abroad and they make many banking services available as well More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations whether or not the local branch bank is open For many of us the cashless society is not on the horizon it s already here While computers offer these conveniences to consumers they have many advantages for sellers too Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales They can keep a wide range of records including who sold what when and to whom This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees 4 are the most efficient allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now which to develop for the future and which to drop Computers keep track of goods in stock of raw materials on hand and even of the production process itself Numerous other commercial enterprises from theaters to magazine publishers from gas and electric utilities to milk processors bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers 56 According to the passage the credit card enables its owner to A withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B obtain more convenient services than other people do C enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper D cash money where he wishes to 57 From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that A in the future all the Americans will use credit cards B credit cards are mainly used in the United States today C nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash D it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before 58 The phrase ring up sales most probably means A make an order of goods B record sales on a cash register C call the sales manager D keep track of the goods in stock 59 It can be inferred that A computers will bring disaster B computer industry will not develop faster C computers will bring about more convenience to people s life D None B Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people 23 of them women to keep a diary of all their absent minded actions for a fortnight When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses 差 错 in a scientific report he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random 随机的 One of the women for instance on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear the explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer explains the professor People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly It was the woman s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings But somehow the action got reversed in the programme About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these programme assembly failures Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing an average of twelve each There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest 荒谬可笑的 These are two hours some time between eight a m and noon between four and six p m with a smaller peak between eight and ten p m Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain programmes occurs for instance between going to and from 5 work Women on average reported slightly more lapses 12 5 compared with 10 9 for men probably because they were more reliable reporters A startling finding of the research is that the absent minded activity is a hazar 冒险 of doing things in which we are skilled Normally you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make But trying to avoid silly lapses by concentrating more could make things a lot worse or even dangerous 60 In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects A to keep track of people who tend to forget things B to report their embarrassing lapses at random C to analyse their awkward experiences scientifically D to keep a record of what they did unintentionally 61 Programme assembly failures Line 6 Para 2 refers to the phenomenon that people A often fail to programme their routines beforehand B tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurry C unconsciously change the sequence of doing things D are likely to mess things up if they are too tired 62 We learn from the third paragraph that A absent mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the day B women are very careful to perform actions during peak periods C women experience more peak periods of absent mindedness D men s absent mindedness often results in funny situations 63 It can be concluded from the passage that A people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapses B hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good at C people should be careful when programming their actions D lapses cannot always be due to lack of concentration C The seas and rivers are being poisoned by radioactive wastes by chemical discharges and by the dumping of dangerous raw swage 污水 The air we breathe is polluted by smoke and fumes from factories and motor vehicles even the rain is poisoned It s little wonder forests and lakes are being destroyed and everywhere wildlife is disappearing and yet the destruction continues Governments and industries throughout the world are intensifying 加紧 their efforts to extract the earth s mineral riches and to destroy its living resources The great rain forest and the frozen continents alike are seriously threatened despite the warnings of the scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people In fact we can create environmentally clean industries use the power of the sun wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite 有限的 resources of the earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life forms which share this planet with us 64 The main idea of the passage is that A the seas and rivers are being poisoned B we can protect natural environments 6 C the natural world is under violent attack from man D governments and industries should be responsible for the destruction of the natural world 65 Rain forests are being destroyed because governments and industries A are unaware of what they are doing wrong B are rich and powerful C choose to ignore criticism D basically care about the environment 66 The earth s resources A should be only for the people B can be made to last longer C will last forever D belong to just humans and animals D One of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age ROSLA has been that it will bring us some way nearer to equality of opportunity Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete It is obvious for instance that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could For instance during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all males 18 to 20 year old Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15 It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939 One study of 5 000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old Moreover there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16 It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes money social respectability and interesting jobs which higher education gives It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social background Their parents often need the extra money another money earner would bring in they don t value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school rather that they tend to say it s up to you 67 It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children A a more enjoyable time at school B the same chances in society C the right to a better school D higher scores in intelligence tests 68 People would like to think that A equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach university 7 B those with the least money get the best education C intelligent children are always selected by the system D only really clever children do well 69 Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because A many of the clever ones leave school early B fewer go to university than ever before C more than half leave school when they are 16 D fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16 70 This article shows that equal opportunity in education A is a thing of the past B has not yet been achieved C is there for those who deserve it D has greatly improved our society 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容

humans know think value feel and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system 72 Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society In the province of Midnapore in India the director of a children s home was told by local villagers that there were ghost in the forest Upon looking into the case the director found that two children one about eight years old and the other about six years old appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest 73 In his diary the director describes his first view of Kamala as the older child was named and Amala the name given to the younger child Kamala was a terrible looking being the head a big ball of something covering the shoulders 74 Their eyes were bright and sharp unlike human eyes They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk Gradually as they got stronger they began going on all fours and afterwards began to run on all fours just like squirrels Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part in a cultural community 75 A From this viewpoint all human groups have a culture B Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first but smaller in size C Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people D This statement is well supported by some well written cases E These children were the ghosts described by the local people F Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society G They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior
