全国2001年10月高等教育自学考试英语写作试题课程代码:00603(以下括弧中的内容均为补充说明)Ⅰ.Supply the missing paragraph(20 points)The following passage isincomplete with the concluding paragraph(the ending paragraph, the conclusion) missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph of about 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary (diction) you use are in unity with the passage provided.Manners Are Important As one looks about (around), it becomes very easy to conclude thatgood manners seem to be a thing of the past. More and more people seem (appear)to be discourteous (rude, impolite) to one another, more indicative of a “survival of the fittest” attitude than (indicative) of living in a civilized society. Although much of what was considered good manners at the turn of the last century may no longer be appropriate, common courtesy and acceptable behavior are still necessary to make life pleasant, especially as our cities become more and more (are getting increasingly) crowded. Although common courtesy is the underlying (basic, fundamental) framework, good manners are manifested (shown, presented) in two distinct (obvious, apparent, evident) areas (fields, respects, dimensions), business and social (cf. sociable: infavor of making friends or keeping company with other people) relationships.The world of business (The commercial world,The commercial circles, The business circles) has become increasingly impersonal (indifferent, inhospitable) over the years. The fast development of computers has removed the personal touch (personal affection) from many business dealings. It is not uncommon, when phoning a company, to get a recorded message telling us which number to press. When we finally do get a live person on the other end, he often seems uncaring. Good business sense, though, would dictate (control) the importance of getting back to the personal touch. The speaker should identify himself by name (should tellhis name) to the caller and make every effort (try his best) to be courteous and helpful. Above all, he should take great pains (try his best) to assure the call is not disconnected (connected). In addition, he should make certain (sure) that the caller is connected to his party and not kept waiting long while listening to canned music (recorded music). Good manners will assure happy, loyal customers.Good manners are, perhaps, most frequently associated with social relationships. Unfortunately, here again they seem to be in decline. Giving up one's seat on a crowded bus to an elderly person, a pregnant woman, or an obviously tired person seems to be a thing of the past. People also seem to have forgotten how to behave as an audience. It is not uncommon to see (Itcan be easily seen anywhere) people putting their feet up on the seats in front of them or talking loudly during a movie or play. Even restaurants are not immune from (are troubled with) the lack of good manners. Young parents do not seem to care that their children are roaming throughout the restaurant or are crying and disturbing the other guests. These examples touch upon (talk about, come down to) only the surface of the rapid decline of good manners.分析:本篇文章是说明文,其层次分为三大部分。

Itwas only with the construction of the first electronic computers in the 1940s, bypeople who were unaware of Babbage’s work, that the groundbreaking nature of thatwork became apparent. Had Babbage never lived, in other words, the rise of thecomputer would have happened anyway. That is because today’s computers owetheir ancestry not to Babbage but to the work of another 19thcenturypioneer,Hermann Hollerith.2) In contrast to Babbage, who wanted to automate the business of mathematical calculation, Hollerith was interested the field of date processing. Babbage intendedhis elaborate“calculating engines”to be used by scientists, in much the same waythat specialist supercomputers are today. The particular application he had in mindwas the production of errorfreemathematical and astronomical tables. Hollerith, onthe other hand, made his name building machines to handle an enormous dataprocessing task: the analysis of the results of the United States’ census.3) When the first American census took place in 1790, tabulating the date it collectedtook ni ne months. As the country’s population grew larger, however, and the numberof questions asked in each census increased, a problem of delay gradually emerged.The results of the 1880 census took seven years to compile—making them out ofdate by the time they were published.4) This was unsatisfactory because, for example, seats in the House of Representativeswere (and are) assigned according to census data. It became apparent that a new waywould have to be found to compile the results of the 1890 census, in order to keepup with rapid demographic changes. Indeed, without a new approach the 1900census would already have been under way by the time the 1890 results became available.5) Hollerith, a former employee of the Census Bureau, had the idea of building atabulating machine. His first design, patented in 1884, used a long strip of paper intowhich holes were punched to represent information, The record for each person wasto be punched across the strip, which would then be run through the machines.contacts made through the holes in the strip would drive electromechanicalcounters. In this way the number of records matching particular criteriacould be counted.6) Before long, Hollerith improved this scheme, by using combinations of holes to represent more complex pieces of information. At the same time, he switched from apaper strip to punched cards, By clever wiring of the tabulating machine, it waspossible to count the number of cards with particular combinations of attributes.7) Hollerith also invented a sorting machine, to facilitate the tabulation of subsets ofthe population. When a card was inserted into the tabulating machines, the counterswould be updated accordingly, and the appropriate drawer in the sorting machinewould open.8) When it c ame to choosing a tabulating machine for the 1890 census, Hollerith’sdesign was one of three contenders. The other two machines used colourcodedslipsof paper and chips of wood to represent information. In a competition between themit took 72 hours to r ecord all the data on to Hollerith’s punched cards, which was notvastly faster than the 144 hours and 100 hours taken by the other two machines.9) The real advantage of Hollerith’s system became clear, however, when it came to manipulating the stored dat e and compiling the results. Hollerith’s machines tookless than six hours; the other machines took 55 and 44 hours respectively. His designwas chosen, and his machines compiled the results of the 1890 census in a mere six weeks, at a saving to the Census Bureau of $5million in staff costs—ten times morethan expected.10) This success enabled Hollerith to expand his Tabulating Machine Company into overseas markets. In 1911, the company merged with two others, and in 1924 thenew firm changed its name to International Business Machine—now better knownas IBM. There is, in other words, a direct line from Hollerith’s tabulating machinesto mainframe computers and, in 1981, to the first IBM PC.11) It is ironic that today’s computer industry has its origins in a dateprocessingproject carried out in 1890 that was completed on time and under budget, Modern computerisation projects, in contrast, tend to have far more in common withBabbage’s illfatedattempt to build a mechanical computer, which cost a fortuneand was eventually abandoned. Perhaps the fact that Hollerith is forgotten, whileBabbage is remembered, should not be surprising at all.Ⅴ.There are 10 incomplete statements, followed by four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer. (1 point each, 10 points)61. Babbage is regarded as the grandfather of computing because .[A] today’s computers have developed directly from his mechanic computer[B] his calculating machine was a mechanic one[C] today’s computers share a lot more with his idea of computing[D] people were unaware of his work when the first electronic computers were constructed in the 1940s62.The forgotten father figure refers to Hollerith as .[A]a former employee of the American Census Bureau[B]the founder of IBM[C]the first designer of a calculating machine[D]the founder of modern computers63. “ As the country’s population grew larger, … a problem of delay gradually emerged.”Here“a problem of delay”means .[A]a problem of delay in starting the censusB]a problem of delay in starting to compile the census results[C]a problem of delay in bring about the census results[D]a problem of delay in finding a tabulating machine to compile the censusresults64.“…… seats in the House of Representatives were (and are) assigned according tothe census data.”This sentence means that .[A]the seat of the House of Representatives was decided according to the censusresults[B]the number of Representatives from each state was decided according to thecensus results[C]the number of chairs in the House of Representatives was decided according tothe census results[D]the chairs in to House of Representatives were arranged according to the census results65. The primary purpose of Hollerith’s design was .[A]to provide a quicker approach to compile the results of the 1890 census[B]to provide a new approach to reduce the staff costs of the 1890 census[C]to provide a quicker approach to determine seats in the House ofRepresentatives[D]to provide a new approach to do mathematical calculation66. Hollerith’s dataprocessingproject included the following except .[A]an electronic computer[B]a tabulating machine[C]an electromechaniccounter[D]a sorting machine67. Hollerith’s tabulating machine .[A]was completed on time but it cost more than previously estimated[B]was not completed on time though it cost less than previously estimated[C]was not completed on time and it cost more than previously estimated[D]was completed on time and it cost less than previously estimated68.Hollerith’s tabulating machine was chosen for the 1890 census mainly becauseof .[A]its advantage in recording data[B]its advantage in saving staff costs[C]its advantage in processing stored data[D]its advantage in shape69.The following statements are true except .[A]the first IBM PC was projected in 1981[B]the results of the 1880 census was not published until 1887[C]the results of the 1890 census were compiled in six weeks[D]the first electronic computers were constructed in the 1900s70.
