Computers Concern You
When Charles Babbage, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, invented the first calculating machine in 1812, he could hardly imagine the situation we find ourselves in today. Nearly everything we do in the modern world is helped, or even controlled, by computers, the complicated descendants of his simple machine. Computers are being used more and more extensively in the world today, for the simple reason that they are far more efficient than human beings. They have much better memories and can store huge amounts of information, and they can do calculations in a fraction of the time taken by a human mathematician. No man alive can do 500,000 sums in one second, but an advanced computer can. In fact, computers can do many wages, reserve seats on planes, control machines in factories, work out tomorrow’s weather, and even play chess, write poetry, or compose music. Let’s look now at some of the ways in which computers concern people in their daily lives and work.
Computers and Our Cash
Mr. Wood, a bank manager, discusses some of the ways in which computers control our cash. “I think most of our customers realize that in modern banking we make extensive use of computers. They see that the codes on their cheques are printed in a special way so that they can be read by a computer—computers only seem to like rather square figures. And when they call in at the bank to find out the balance of their accounts, the clerk no longer shows them a big book with hand-written entries. Instead, he goes and gets a print-out from the computer which records all the details of cash or cheques paid into or drawn out of customers’ accounts. The day may soon come when we no longer need to carry cash around with us, or even a cheque book. The computer where we work will tell our bank computer how much our salary or wages are--- and the government computer how much tax we should pay! Then when we go shopping we will just show a special card at the check-out point. The code on the card will be fed into the shop computer, which will check with the bank computer that there is enough money in our account to pay for the goods we want, and that the card has not been stolen. If all is well, the codes from the different items will be fed into the computer and the sum owing will be drawn from our account, but only “on computer”. No money will ever change hands. Computerized
shopping, like computerized banking, will be quick, safe and convenient.”
Computers and Our Health
Nurse Penny Atkins works in a large, modern hospital.
“We use computers a lot in medicine nowadays. For instance, at the hospital where I work we make patients’ appointments through a computer, which saves a lot of time. So does keeping patients’records on a computer. It also saves space because you can get so much more information onto a piece of computer tape than a piece of paper. Another advantage is that anyone who wants information on a patient can get it quickly, or even at the same time as someone else. You just dial the computer. In the past a doctor might take a patient’s records away to his room and keep them for weeks, which could make things difficult for the rest of us! Actually, computers can often do a doctor’s work better than a human being can. Computers don’t suffer from lack of sleep, so they don’t miss important points. And because they never forget anything they’ve ever been told, they’re often better at working out what’s wrong with a patient, or the best treatment to give him. Some people even think we should all have regular computer checks on our health and then we would be able to cure most diseases in the early stages. We’d all spend less time in hospital, so the future would be better for us over-worked nurses!”
Computers Catch Criminals
Chief Inspector Harston talks about ways in which computers can help the police fight crime.
“Members of the public often think of detective work as fast and exciting when most of it is slow and boring. For example, a detective on a stolen car case may have to check through long lists of information, and in the time it takes him to do this, the thief may well escape. With the new National Police Computer we are now able to find out details of car ownership and driving licenses in a fraction of the time it takes by traditional methods. We are also developing systems of storing fingerprint information in computers and even information about people’s appearance. It’s possible to work out codes for visual details and to link a computer with a videotape recorder (VTR). Then, instead of looking through books of photographs we’ll be able to ask the computer to sort out the right ones, and see photographs of suspects flashed across a VTR screen. In police work speed is often essential, so computers are ideal for helping catch criminals. The only problem is that we now have a new kind of criminal—the very clever man who knows how to make huge sums of money by cheating a computer, and he is very difficult indeed to catch.”
Questions 26-35 are based on the passage you have just read.
26. Charles Babbage was the person who invented the first calculating machine.
27. Computers can do 500,000 sums in one minute, faster and better than we can.
28. The day has already come when people needn’t carry bank notes, coins or even a cheque
book any longer because of the use of computers.
29. When you go shopping, you can show the shop assistant the special card and get the goods
you want at once.
30. The more the computer is used at the hospital, the better the doctor’s work can be
efficiently improved.
31. Computers can help doctors perform major operations on patients.
32. If our health is checked by the computer used at the hospital regularly, most diseases can be
cured in the early stages.
33. The computer is so useful that it may help a detective to catch any criminal.
34. The codes for visual details are so complicated that they cannot be worked out by the
computer.
35. With the help of computers, the police are now able to catch more drunken drivers.
Section B: Reading in Depth (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved. It is impossible that he will again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his position in society.
36. People can experience happiness if they ______.
A) always think of the past and regret it
B) value the present
C) are no longer young
D) become old and have much experience
37. When people were young, they used to ______.
A) be in charge of many businesses
B) have few things to think about and take on
C) look after their younger sisters and brothers
D) face a lot of difficulties
38. Children are usually happy because ______.
A) old people lose interest in them
B) they are free to do wrong
C) they are familiar with everything going on around them
D) things are new to them
39. The pains of children lie in the fact that ______.
A) no one helps them make right decisions
B) they are often beaten by their parents
C) they can not be accepted and praised by others
D) they are not allowed to do what they like to do
40. The author presents the passage in a(n) ______ tone.
A) hostile B) enthusiastic C) instructive D) critical
Passage Two
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
In many homes, divorce is caused by the “battle between sexes”. To understand the problem, one must remember that modern American woman is freed. During childhood and youth, the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy’s. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn’t have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and a wife are able to share decision-making, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.
When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support.
Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, “Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our children!”
41. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A) Financial trouble in the family.
B) Different attitudes between husband and wife towards children’s education.
C) Women’s liberation movement.
D) Lack of democratic atmosphere in the household often leads to divorce.
42. What do you know of modern American women according to the passage?
A) They are overbearing.
B) They are more independent than ever before.
C) They do not have much to say in the household.
D) They respect their husbands, but do not listen to them.
43. What kind of marriage can be successful according to the passage?
A) Both the man and woman are financially secure.
B) Husband and wife share housework.
C) Both the man and woman are well-educated.
D) Decisions are made by the man and woman together.
44. What happens when a couple is divorced according to the passage?
A) The children become homeless.
B) The man is still held responsible for the welfare of his children.
C) Life becomes difficult for the woman and her children.
D) The man, rather than the woman, remarries soon.
45. What does the well-known joke suggest?
A) Remarriages often end up in failure.
B) Children are unhappy in the new family.
C) The mother is not respected by the stepchildren.
D) Remarriage causes new troubles in the household.
Passage Three
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Don’t give out personal information such as your name, telephone number and address. Most match-making sites will route correspondence through their internal mailbox so the person will never learn your e-mail address unless you choose to reveal it. You may want to use your first name only or use an online name until you feel safe. One of the big dangers, particularly in the place where people feel at home is that people are too free with information about themselves.
When you feel secure enough to talk on the phone to your online friend, give him or her a work mobile phone or page number rather than your home telephone number, or get theirs. Meet in a public place during the day for initial dates and tell others where you are going or bring along some friends. Be careful about sharing too much too soon.
Get to know someone through his or her words before taking the romance to the street. The beauty of the Internet, experts say, is that it has rekindled (重新点燃) the joy of writing. Explore that way of connecting before you talk on the telephone or meet face-to-face. Let your instinct tell you when you’re ready to meet that person. Some people fear if I don’t meet the person soon, he won’t talk to me any more. But if he won’t wait until you are comfortable, he isn’t worth having anyway.
46. The best title for the passage would be ______.
A) Online Friendship B) Online Romance
C) Some Rules for Online Dating D) The Process of Online Dating
47. Why is it difficult for your online friends to learn your e-mail address easily?
A) Because you can use an online name.
B) Because you feel at home.
C) Because you are too free with your personal information.
D) Because most matching-making sites will route correspondence through their internal
mailbox.
48. Which of the following information CAN’T be revealed to your online friends when you
want to talk to them on the telephone?
A) Office phone number. B) Home telephone number.
C) Page number. D) Mobile phone number.
49. The author uses “taking the romance to the street” (Line 1, Para.3) to mean ______.
A) writing letters B) connecting by e-mails
C) talking on the telephone D) meeting face-to-face
50. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A) You should ensure your safety before you make further contact with people online.
B) You should never give out any information about yourself to others online.
C) You should choose public places during the day for initial dates.
D) After some e-mails, you should meet the person soon, or he will find another friend.

People are often __66__ to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more __67__ to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again. It __68__ one think, doesn’t it?

W: Yes. When I drove to town yesterday, the clear air changed. It seemed like a dark cloud hung over the city.
M: Nobody like air pollution. It smells bad; it makes it difficult to breathe.
W: True, it even damages the plants that provide us with food. No wonder we get sick. It’s dangerous to everyone’s health.
M: I think everyone knows it is a serious problem. Air pollution can even damage strong materials like steel and concrete. Think what it does to poor humans.
W: It’s terrible, and yet we do need some things that cause it. We’ll have to try to figure out a solution.

M: Next Tuesday! That’s less than a week away, and I have got things planned for this weekend. W: Haven’t you been studying along?
M: I have kept up with my lecture notes, but I haven’t reviewed at all.
W: Then it’s your own fault. The date of the final is clearly marked on the course outline.
M: I suppose you are right, but doesn’t it seem awfully early for a final?
W: A little, but it should actually help us out. After we have finished with it, we can concentrate on other finals.
M: Are you ready for it?
W: I think I am. I’m going to review some more , of course.
M: Do you think we could study together sometimes this week?
W: I don’t see why not. Are you doing anything tomorrow night?
M: I can’t tomorrow. I am going out with some guys to that new nightspot downtown.
W: Well, how about the following night?
M: No, I can’t Saturday either. My sister and her husband are coming to town and I want to show them around.
W: Sunday, then?
M: Well, I’ll probably sleep all morning and in the afternoon I want to go to the football game. Also that night I have to write and type up a paper for another class.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. Passage One
In the west, birthdays are very special days, especially for children. Often, children have birthday parties. They invite their friends, who bring presents to the party. There are games, and prizes, and a birthday tea with sandwiches, biscuits, ice cream and a birthday cake. If the child is four years old, he has four candles, and so on. When the little guests leave, they each get a small present and a balloon.
Birthdays are special days for older people, too. Family members and friends give presents, and send birthday cards. When people meet someone on their birthday, they say “Happy birthday!” or “Many happy returns of the day!”
The most important birthday is the eighteenth. When you are eighteen, you are grown up. You can vote, you can get married, and you can even go to prison! People often have a big party on their eighteenth birthday. But until a few years ago, the most important birthday was the twenty-first.
In Britain, if you live to be a hundred, the Queen sends you her congratulations.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16.For whom are birthdays special days?
17.Which birthday was the most important one in the past?
18.What will happen if you live to be a hundred in Britain?
Passage Two
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were going abroad for their holiday. They had a dog called Blackie which they were very fond of, but they could not take him abroad with them. So they tried to look for a good place to leave him in, and at last found a place which looked after dogs very well while their owners were away. They took Blackie there just before they left.
At the end of their holiday, they got back to England very late at night, and as they thought that the place where Blackie was staying might be closed at the hour, they decided to wait until the next morning before going to get him back.
When they brought the dog back home, Mr. Brown said to his wife. “Do you know, dear, I don’t think Blackie can have enjoyed his stay at that place very much. He barked all the way home as if he wanted to tell me something.”
Mrs. Brown looked at the dog carefully and then answered, “You are quite right, dear. He was certainly trying to tell you something. But he wasn’t trying to tell you that he hadn’t enjoyed his stay at the place. He was only complaining that you were bringing the wrong dog home.”
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19.Why did they have to leave the dog somewhere before they went abroad for holiday?
20.Who took the dog to the place where dogs could be well looked after ?
21.Why didn’t they immediately get the dog back when they got back home?
22. Why did the dog bark all the way home?
Passage Three
Imagine you are a doctor of medicine from Japan. You are at an international meeting in Europe. You want to communicate with a doctor from Africa. What language do you speak with him? The answer is probably English.
Today, nearly 600 million people around the world use the English language. Only half of them speak English as their first language.
Why is English useful for international communication? For one thing, many books and papers in special fields are in English. As a result, people with great knowledge in these special fields often learn English. Such people from different countries can use their English for international communication. English is really a world language.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard
23.What is the purpose of the international meeting mentioned in the talk?
24.How many people use the English language today according to the speaker?
25.Why do people from different countries use the English language?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is
read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to
33 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 34 to 35
you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either
use the exact words you hove just heard or write down the main points in your own
words .Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what

The card is programmed S10) so that only the most intimate friends can open all the doors.
This cold-blooded approach to human relationships also seems to be true of his love life.

The frozen corpse was about five feet 11 and scientists who helicoptered to the site determined that it was 4,000 years old – the first 12 body ever found from the Bronze Age. Mummified by the wind and snow, he came 13 with sikn, bones, internal organs, and fingernails. He was 14 in leather shoes and finely stitched leather suit, insulted with hay. An array of weapons and equipment was found alongside him_ 15 a leather quiver with fourteen arrows, a stone necklace, a fire flint, a knife, and an ax with a crude bronze head. “The find is of 16 scientific meaning,”said Lonrad Spindler, professor of early and Primeval History at the University of Innsbruck, who is investigating the 17 . Skeletal remains of buried corpses have been excavated before in Bronze Age graves. But “the iceman,”as Austrian newspapers dubbed him, was going about the normal course of life when he died 18 the ages of 20 and 40, which means he should yield a reassure-trove of information about conditions 4,000 years ago.
