二、阅读理解
根据短文内容从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个最适合的答案。
In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early post-war era, there was quite a widespread concern that the computer would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years, as computers are relieving us of more and more routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.
Obviously, there would be no point in investing 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.
11、 What is the main purpose of this passage? ______
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 a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.
12、 According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might ______.
A. lead us into the post-war era B. be quite widespread
C. take control of man D. take over routine tasks
13、 The passage recommends those dealing with computers to ______.
A. be reasonably skeptical about them B. check all their answers
C. substitute them for basic thinking D. use them for business purposes only
14、 The passage suggests that the present-day problem with computers is ______.
A. challenging B. psychological
C. dramatic D. malfunctioning
15、 It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of ______.
A. computer science courses in high schools
B. businessmen and women who use pocket calculators
C. maintenance checks on computers
D. companies which depend exclusively on computers for decision making
In the latter part of the fourth century, the Huns swept into Europe from central Asia, robbing and killing as they came along, and large numbers of the half civilized Germanic tribes such as the Franks, the Angles and Saxons, and the Vandals fled their homelands in northern Europe and were pushed to cross the Danube River into the territory of the Roman Empire. In A.D. 576 a Germanic general killed the last Roman emperor and took control of the government. While the Eastern Roman Empire continued, the power of ancient Rome was gone. In its place mushroomed a great many Germanic kingdoms, which in a few hundred years were to grow into the nations known as England, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. Between the fifth and eleventh centuries, western Europe was the scene of frequent wars and invasion. The political unity had given way to widespread destruction and confusion. Hunger and disease killed many lives; towns and villages fell into ruin and great areas of land lay waste.
During the medieval times there was no central government to keep the order. The only organization that seemed to unite Europe was the Christian Church. It continued to gain widespread power and influence. In the late Middle Ages, almost everyone in western Europe was a Christian and a member of the Christian Church. Christianity took the lead in politics, law, art, and learning for hundreds of years. It shaped people's lives. That is why the Middle Ages is also called the "Ages of Faith".
16、 What does this passage mainly talk about? ______
A. How Roman Empire fell down.
B. How Germanic kingdoms came into being.
C. It describes the early life and religion of Germanic tribes in western Europe.
D. Why the Middle Ages is called the "Ages of Faith".
17、 Why did Germanic tribes enter western Europe? ______
A. Because they wanted to find places more civilized.
B. Because they were driven to flee homelands as a result of the invasion of the Huns.
C. Because they intended to invade the Eastern Roman Empire.
D. Because they wanted to establish kingdoms in western Europe.
18、 What was the people's life like between the fifth and eleventh centuries in western Europe? ______
A. Invasive and energetic. B. Peaceful and wealthy.
C. Miserable and warring. D. Romantic and heroic.
19、 Who was mainly in power during the medieval times in western Europe? ______
A. Civil governments. B. Emperors.
C. Military authorities. D. The Christian Church.
20、 What does the "Ages of Faith" mean? ______
A. Almost everyone believed in Christianity in that age.
B. Almost everyone claimed to be faithful to their kings or queens.
C. Most people were faithful to their countries.
D. All the people have a faith in truth and peace.
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children's language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.
A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
21、 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? ______
A. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.
B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.
C. Active children should read more and be given more attention.
D. Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.
22、 What can "It" in Paragraph 1, Line 2 be most probably replaced by? ______
A. Increase in children's language development from parent reading.
B. Simple reading techniques in children's language development.
C. Parents reading to children.
D. Children's intelligence development.
23、 According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about? ______
A. Do you see the elephant?
B. Is the elephant in the cage?
C. What animals do you like?
D. Shall we go to the zoo?
24、 The difference between the control group and the experimental group was ______.
A. the training that parents received
B. the age of the children
C. the books that were read
D. the number of the children
25、 The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that ______.
A. parents should be trained to read to their children
B. the more children read, the more intelligent they will become
C. children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively
D. children who read actively seem six months older

This country, as Lincoln said, belongs to the people. So do the natural resources which make it rich. They supply the basis of our prosperity now and hereafter. In preserving them, which is a national duty, we must not forget that monopoly(垄断) is based on the control of natural resources and natural advantages, and that it will help the people little to conserve our natural wealth unless the benefits which it can yield are given back to the people. Let us remember, also, that conservation does not stop with the natural resources. The principle of making the best use of all we have requires that we stop the waste of human life in industry and prevent the waste of human welfare which flows from the unfair use of concentrated power and wealth in the hands of men whose eagerness for profit blinds them to the cost of what they do. We have no higher duty than to promote the efficiency of the individual. There is no surer road to the efficiency of the nation.
