16、ogram that “thinks like Family Court judges.The software package, appropriately called “Split UP was developed by Dr. John Zeleznikow and a team of researchers in La Trobe Universitys Department of Computer Science.It is the first in the world designed to weigh up court judgments in previous cases t

17、o predict the way property would be divided for a particular divorce if proceeded to court.While anyone can get a divorce, the rules on the division of property are up to the judge. Deciding who gets what is a complex procedure based on future needs and past contributions.Split up, which can be inst

18、alled on any PC, asks a sequence of relevant questions about the health, work history, children, property and future needs of the partners in a divorce. It then decides what percentage allocation to each partner would be in court and provides a series of arguments in favour of the decision.Its major

19、 advantage, says Dr. Zeleznikow, is that people are less likely to litigate once they know the likely court outcome. “Lets say the program predicts that each partner will get $250 000 from a property settlement. If they go to court the cost to each could be $ 50 000 to litigate. This is a powerful i

Passage 2The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their products obvious advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater

25、 than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producer suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation

26、 researchs classic studies, one often cited in the trade.Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the b

27、rands or amounts specific D. The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read “one pound Maxwell House coffee on the list and “Nescafe instant coffee on the other. One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. The women

28、 were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (“personality and character)who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other

29、hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife. No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee. 6. I

30、n the opinion of instant coffee producers, .A. people should buy regular coffeeB. regular coffee is superior to instant coffeeC. instant coffee should have a good market because of its obvious advantagesD. the advertising expenditure for regular coffee is very great 7.

34、urious fact that as we leave the most impoverished peoples of the world, where the human being with his too few calories of energy scratches out for himself a bare subsistence, we find the economic insecurity of the individual many times multiplied. The solitary Eskimo, Bushman, Indonesian, Nigerian

35、, left to his own devices, will survive a considerable time. Living close to the soil or to their animal prey, the peoples with the lowest standard of living in the world can sustain their own lives, at least for a while, almost single-handed. With a community numbering only a few hundred, they can

36、live indefinitely. Indeed, a very large percentage of the human race today lives in precisely such fashion - in small, virtually self-contained peasant communities which provide for their own survival with a minimum of contact with the outside world. This large majority of mankind suffers great pove

37、rty, but it also knows a certain economic independence.When we turn to the New Yorker or the Chicagoan, on the other hand, we are struck by exactly the opposite condition, by a prevailing ease of material life, coupled at the same time by an extreme dependence of the individual in his search for the

38、 means of existence. In the great metropolitan areas where most Americans live, we can no longer imagine the solitary individual or the small community surviving, short of robbing for food and necessities. The majority of Americans have never grown food, caught game, raised meat, ground grain into f

39、lour. Faced with the challenge of clothing themselves or building their own homes, they would be hopelessly untrained and unprepared. Even to make minor repairs in the machines which surround them, they must call on other members of the community whose business it is to fix cars, or to repair plumbi

40、ng, or whatever. Perhaps, the richer the nation, the more apparent is this inability of its average inhabitant to survive unaided and alone. 11. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Poor and the Rich.B. The Individual and the Society.C. The Division of Labor.D. The Making of a Society. 12

43、onger than a man living in a small community. 15. One can NOT make a living in modern America by .A. buying things one need from storesB. hiring the services of othersC. robbing others of food and necessitiesD. learning to do things all by oneself Passage 4If women are mercilessly exploited year aft

44、er year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the chang

45、e of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to

46、replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes any

47、thing really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There

48、can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the c

49、onstantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decid

50、e. 16.

The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.C. The fashion industry makes an importa

53、nt contribution to society.D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.20. By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious(paragraph 4), the writer means that A. womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing if often laughed at B. women are better able to pu

54、t up with discomfort C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion 1.分析与解答：从第3、7段可推出答案为B)。2.分析与解答：从第4、5段可知C)“婚姻的持续时间”没有涉及到。故答案为C)。而其它三项“房子、银行存款、孩子教育”都属于财产及孩子问题。3.分析与解答：从第3、5、7段可知B)、C)、D)正确，但A)项内容文中并未提到。故答案为A)。4.分析与解答：第3段中讲：“这是世界上首次设计出来的(软件)

55、，是用于权衡法庭对以往案件的判决，从而预测某个特定的离婚案-如果它继续诉诸法庭的话-的财产分分配方式。”可见答案为D)。5.分析与解答：第4段讲“任何人都可以离婚，但财产分配取决于法官判决。而决定谁得到什么是建立在未来需求和过去贡献基础上的一个复杂过程。”可见并没有明确可依的离婚财产法律。故答案为C)。6.分析与解答：从第1段第1句可得出答案为C)。此句为虚拟语气结构。7.分析与解答：从第1段尤其是第1句和最后两句可知答案为D)。8.分析与解答：从第2段第4句可知答案为D)。9.分析与解答：因为“动机调查”显示人们不买“即冲咖啡”的原因是它暗示了女主人的懒惰lazy，所以为提高销量，生产商必定

59、ng and sometimes poisonous members of the animal kingdom. All over the world, and even in remote parts of Australia, frogs are losing the ecological battle for survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise. Are amphibians simply oversensitive to changes in the ecosystem? Could it be
