18、。A Critics say Microsoft Windows 95 must be able to do what the company has said or sales will fall sharply. This could mean the public would reject future Microsoft products. The public would lose trust in the company. Some people say this will not happen. They say Microsoft sent out several thousa

19、nd copies of their new product to computer experts to test several months before it was released. Problems that these testers found were immediately corrected. Microsoft representatives are working to solve all the other problems buyers find when they try the new system. Computer industry experts sa

21、 difficult tasks. They say this means the sale of more powerful computers and other computer products will increase as people learn about the new Microsoft product. Other companies say Windows 95 is not a big improvement. The Apple Computer Company says its Mackintosh Operating System has been able

22、to do many of the same things since 1989. For example, it has been able to let users work two different programs at the same time. The Amega Computer also has offered this for almost ten years.

Windows 95 will help sell more powerful computersB “A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,” says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie

26、has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what e

27、very writer should be doing. “If you arent telling a story, youre a very dead writer indeed,” she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says.

28、 “This love goes back to early childhood. Ive told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said Nons

29、ense, Mollie, dear, youll be a writer. So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is

30、 clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollies ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fieldssadly now covered with mo

31、dern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. Ill never go back,”she said. “Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the villag

32、e blacksmith at work. And thats important, because children now know so much so early that romance cant exist for them, as it did for us.”44. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.B. It should be attractive to young readers.C. It shoul

33、d be based on original ideas.D. It should not include too much conversation.45. In Mollie Hunters opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills.C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story.46. What do we l

36、mation for Mollie Hunters existing readers.CThere are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for peopl

37、e to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telepho

38、ne number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shost

39、ak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on

40、paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will

41、make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.49. The main purpose of this text is to give inf

42、ormation about .A. museums throughout the world B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.C. art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD. latest development of computer art50.

44、 about art52. The words“an audience”in the last paragraph refer to .A. art students B. computer ownersC. exhibits in the museum D. those who will enjoy artDOne would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against

45、 you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学) has proved how many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reacti

46、on which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it,

47、so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you dont feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a fe

48、w minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your s

49、uccess in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.Its often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your re

50、action to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.53. We can infer from the passage that .A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseasesB. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyoneC. a decline of h

51、ormone may cause you to be depressedD. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking54. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Feeling and thoughts can generate each other.B. Its easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.C. Your success depends wholly

52、on your attitude.D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.55. Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should .A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativismB. be king in your officeC. pay no attention to what is going on around youD. control your feeling to w

53、hat is happening to you56. The best title to the passage is .A. Thinking Benefits People B. Why Should People ThinkC. Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking D. Thinking: The Vital WayESOUTHPORT, ENGLANDA British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classr

54、oom assistants.At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy

55、 Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 57 abstentions.he said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in l

56、ine, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, ” Dyble said at the conference. “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smell

57、s that children do not own up to,” she added. “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit.”The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, sai

58、d his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exam

59、s because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.57.
