Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to ―speak‖ with their teachers, th eir classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees ― anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff uses computers. The laptops will al low all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, ―Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.‖

If a physicist in Houston ha s his way you‖ll be able to say good-bye to pollution-causing energy production from fossil fuels. In the April / May issue of The Industrial Physicist, Dr. David Criswell suggests that the Earth could be getting all of the electricity it needs by using solar cells ―on the moon. In the article Criswell proposes a Lunar Solar Power (LSP) System, using arrays of solar cells on the lunar surface to beam energy back to Earth. Criswell estimates that the 10 billion people living on Earth in 2050 will require 20 Terrawatts (TW) of power. The Moon receives 13,000 TW of power from the sun. Criswell suggests that harnessing just 1% of the solar power and directing it toward Earth could replace fossil fuel power plants on Earth.
The LSP system consists of 20 - 40 lunar power bases, situated on the eastern and the western edges of the moon, as seen from Earth. Each power base has a series of solar cells to collect energy from the sun, which is sent over buried electric wires. The generators then send the energy to screens that reflect the microwave beams toward Earth, where they are received by arrays of special antennas strategically placed about the globe.
―LSP is probably the only option for powering a prosperous world within the 21st century‖ says Criswell. ―However, it does require some improvement on the practical side.‖
1. Dr. Criswell works in ________.
A) America B) Britain C) Germany D) France
2. The LSP system makes use of ________.
A) the solar energy B) the lunar energy C) fossil fuels D) the nuclear power
3. The lunar power bases ________.
A) are placed on the earth B) are placed on the moon
C) are fixed on the man-made planet D) absorb the sun beams
4. ________ is not included in the LSP system.
A) A generator B. A microwave oven C) Special antennas D) Electric wires
5. Dr. Criswell thought that ________.
A) the LSP system would not succeed in the future
B) it was impractical to carry on the project
C) in the 21st century the LSP system would provide most of the energy we need
D) there was still room for improvement as to the LSP system -
Who takes care of the elderly in the United States today? The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. Most times, the elderly live in their own homes. A very small percent of Am erica’s elderly live in nursing homes.
Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. This statistic shows the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.
Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers believe they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.
1. Sam uel Preston’s study shows that __________.
A) lifestyles and responsibilities of the elderly are changing
B) most American couples over 40 have no living parents
C) middle-aged Americans have to take care of their children and parents at the same time
D) elderly people may need care for a long time because they live longer after an illness
2. Who will most probably take care of the middle-aged Americans when they need care
themselves?
A) Themselves. B) Their children.
C) Their close friends. D) Their husband or wife.
3. All caregivers believe that they can __________.
A) care for their elderly parents better than any other person
B) keep closer to their old parents by this means
C) do much better if they have a job as social workers
D) improve care of the elderly with the help of the social workers
4. Which of the following is NOT a reason why people look after their relatives?
A) They feel they are of use to other people.
B) They want to set an example to their children.
C) They think it is their duty to help their relatives.
D) They hope they deserve care when they need it.
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A) Most old people live longer today after an illness than people did years ago.
B) Many old people are put into nursing homes by their families, who do not visit them
regularly.
C) Most elderly people are taken care of by their families, who assume the responsibility
for different reasons.
D) Most elderly people are satisfied with the better ways of caregiving that social workers
have come up with.

Passage 4
I once knew a young man, nineteen years of age, who lived with absolute outward confidence and self-possession for a number of years before I discovered that he could not
read or write. His various methods of deception, which were also instruments of self-protection, were so skillful and so desperate that neither I nor any of his other adult friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurant—and suddenly discovered that he could not read.
Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peter’s desperation hit me full force. The first time, he was clever enough to study the menu for a moment, then look up to the waitress and ask her if he could have ―just a coke and a hamburger‖. He told me later that he had been through the same thing many times before and that he had learned to act as if he were examining the menu: ―Then I ask for coke and a hamburger…Sometimes they give me hamburger on a plate with salad and potatoes…Then I ask them for a roll and make my own hamburger.‖
As we began to go out to eat more frequently, Peter would ask to go to Howard Johnson’s. I soon discovered the reason for his choice:The photographs, attached in cellophane (玻璃纸) containers to each of the standard items on the menu, spared him the necessity of struggling with the shape of words at all. Howard Johnson’s, whether knowingly or not, had provided the perfect escape for the endangered pride of an adult nonreader.
1. When he went to a restaurant, Peter would __________.
A) pretend that he could not read or write
B) pretend to be studying the menu
C) be desperate for help from other people
D) protect himself by playing a musical instrument
2. The young man was not found to be illiterate until __________.
A) he dined out with his adult friends at Howard Johnson’s
B) he could no longer come up with various ways of deception
C) he had dinner with his friends at a certain local restaurant for the second or third time
D) he was not careful enough to be aware of his entire helplessness in face of written
words
3. What did the young man usually have at a restaurant?
A) Standard items on the menu.
B) A hamburger made by himself.
C) Foods that other people ordered.
D) A coke and a hamburger.
4. The word ―self-possession‖ (Para.1) probably means __________.
A) self-confidence B) self-discipline
C) self-consciousness D) self-devotion
5. Why did the young man like to go to Howard John son’s?
A) Howard Johnson’s provided a perfect escape when anything dangerous should happen.
B) The menu at Howard Johnson’s gave a clear introduction of the food it served.
C) The photographs attached to the main items on the menu helped conceal his illiteracy.
D) He would feel at ease because diners at Howard Johnson’s were all adult nonreaders.

阅读理解 B 42、Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later. Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.

The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. James had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost (鬼) must have drunk the night before.

In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. (1)、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.

I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this. I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite
英语四级阅读题库含答案解析 1.Passage One Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or isn’t –we won’t do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed. Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don’t know enough to relieve global warming, and –without major technological breakthroughs—we can’t do much about it. From 2003 to 2050, the world’s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. but that’s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world’s poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else‘s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050. No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they’re “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t. But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets. The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it. The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem, we’re helpless. 57. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph? A) It may not prove an environmental crisis at all. B) It is an issue requiring world wide commitments. C) Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it. D) Very little will be done to bring it under control. 58. According to the author’s understanding, what is Al Gore’s view on global warming? A) It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of. B) It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences. C) It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized. D) It is an area we actually have little knowledge about. 59. Green house emissions will more than double by 2050 because of _______. A) economic growth B) the widening gap between the rich and poor C) wasteful use of energy D) the rapid advances of science and technology

As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. a.they do not know how to enjoy themselves b.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health c.they are travelling fast all the time d.they are becoming busier with their work 2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his ________. a.not fearing stress b.knowing the art of relaxation c.high sense of responsibility d.having control over performance 3.Which of the follwing statements is ture? a.We can find some ways to avoid stress b.Stress is always harmful to people
Part III Reading comprehension Passage 1 Richard Brasher, commercial director of Tesco?s non-food operations, is in the frame for the top job at Boots, where chief executive Steve Russell is to step down. Brasher is understood to be on a shortlist that includes Stuart Rose, the former boss of retailing group Arcadia, the Terry Duddy, chief executive of catalogue retailer Argos. Brasher is viewed as a high-flier within Tesco and is highly rated by the group?s chief executive, Terry Leahy. Boots has been looking for a chief executive and a new chairman since the middle of December, when its current chairman, John McGrath, admitted that the group had not acted fast enough to address strategic issues that were facing it. McGrath is due to step down at the end of his contract in the summer, after overseeing the search for a new chief executive. Boots has been trying to find a way to distinguish itself and its products from the increasing range carried by supermarkets. Last week Sainsbury, the food retailer, said it would be extending its own health and beauty offering after it axed a joint venture trial with Boots. Sainsbury and Boots have been working together since 2001, but Sainsbury now wants to roll out its own programme in about 50 stores. Under the original trial, Boots supplied the products, including exclusive lines, to a specific area within Sainsbury stores at nine out-of-town supermarkets. Although both sides agreed initial targets had been met, they could not agree terms to take the scheme forward. Observers suggested that the two had disagreed over sharing revenues. Boots has confirmed the departure of another senior member of management. Michael Bunting, head of treasury, will leave the company in April. Other senior staff who have left recently include Barry Clare, marketing director, and Ken Piggott, who was managing director of Boots? core business. Questions 31-35 are based on passage 1 31.
