二、閱讀理解(11-30)

In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early post-war era(戰(zhàn)后時期), there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting(過分信任) 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 (失靈).

Obviously, there would be no point in investing(投入) in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and cheek 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 pro-vide, 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 the blindness to the probable shortcomings of computers.

答案：D

12. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to__________.

A. be reasonably doubtful about them

B. check all their answers

C. substitute them for basic thinking

D. use them for business purpose only

答案：A

13. An "internal computer" ( Para. 2 ) is __________.

A. a computer used exclusively by one company for its own problems

B. a person' s store of knowledge and the ability to process it

C.the most up to date in home computer a company can buy

D. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable

答案：B

14. The passage suggests that the present day problem with regard to computers is__________.

A. challenging

B. psychological

C. dramatic

D. over-trusting

答案：D

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(持續(xù)不斷) checks on computers

D. companies which depend entirely on computers

答案：D

To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It' s a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes ( as long as you' re not held up at the airport), but it' s an expensive way to travel. You can. travel by hovercraft if you don' t mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you forget your sea-sickness ills. All these means of transport have their problems and the weary(不耐煩的)travel-er often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. "Not possible", you say. Well,wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.

This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.

Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC (歐共體)? Well, perhaps. The main reason,though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London' s disused docldand(船塢地). A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize( 使…重新有活力) the port, and would make London a main trading centre in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England, and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!

16. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.

B. The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.

C. It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.

17. A tunnel would be__________.

A. less expensive to be built than a bridge

B. more expensive to be built than a bridge

C. less expensive to be built than a rail

D. more expensive to be built than a rail

答案：A

18. If they built a Channel tunnel, you would__________.

A. neither take a train nor go by car

B. only take a train

C. either take a-train or go by car

D. only take a bus

答案：B

19. It can be concluded that many of London' s dockyards are __________.

A. not used

B. seriously blocked

D. opened again

答案：A

20. Channel link would__________.

D. make London more prosperous again

答案：D

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there' s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You’ve got to want to write,, I say to them, "not want to be a writer.”

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由欄目 ) writer, I had no prospects .at.all.

What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn' t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.

After a year or so, however, I still hadn' t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn' t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if?

I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty-and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

21. The passage is meant to__________.

A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience

B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer

C. show young people it' s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame

D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career

答案：A

22. What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

B. A writer' s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.

C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.

D. The chances for writers to become successful are small.

答案：D

23. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?

D. a world that exists only in one' s imagination

答案：C

On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of Presi-dent Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg on-ly out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and ve.ry popular everywhere.

It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked,"I have failed again". On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That

speech was a fiat failure, and the people are disappointed".

Some newspapers at first criticized the speech, but little by little as people redid the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

Today, every American school child learns Lincoln' s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now eve-ryone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.

四、翻譯(51)

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.

Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: sing-ing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity. And it is this popularity that usually convinces the perform-er to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to en-joy. But in time, the performer becomes .bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of pla-ying the same character repeatedly.

答案：在已經(jīng)出了名的人們中間，絕大多數(shù)是因有一技之長，如唱歌、舞蹈、繪畫、寫作等，而獲此聲譽的。這位成功的表演者展示出一種在市場上可以爭雄制勝的風格，因而獲得聲譽。而且也就是這種聲譽常使表演者確信必須把這種風格堅持下去，因為看來這正是大眾所需要和喜愛的。可是隨著時間轉(zhuǎn)移，歌手年復(fù)一年地依老調(diào)唱老歌，畫師畫同樣的風景人物，演員反復(fù)重演同一角色，都會感到厭煩。

五、寫作(52)

Part VI Writing (15 points)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "How I Finance My College Education". You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your compo-sition on the outline given in Chinese below:

1.上大學(xué)的費用(mifion and fees)可以通過多種途徑解決;

2.哪種途徑適合于我(說明理由)。

答案：How I Finance My College Education

It is a fact that college is becoming more and more expensive and college life is becoming es-pecially hard for the students who were born in needy families. However, there are several ways in which these students can cover their tuition that their parents are not able to afford. Finding a part-time job, for example, is an ideal way. Besides, one can ask the bank for a loan and repay it when he has the ability. Finally, one can seek assistance from the society.

For me, earning tuition by doing part-time jobs is the most suitable way. First, I learn to be independent both mentally and economically in this way. Apart from this, I no longer need to wor-ry my parents with so heavy a burden. Finally, since I earn my own living, I will be more confi-dent with myself and, therefore, I can live a busy but meaningful college life.
