TEXT A

Steve Courtney wrote historical novels.    Not, he was quick to explain, over colorful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writer, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods.    Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women.    He had studied at university, but he had not been a particularly good student, and he had never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained interfere with his writing.

Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husband's ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not historically minded.

Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved.    It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice.    But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very long, want to live in London again, and what she would do if he did.    The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage.    They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that she Steve's idea of what a successful author ought to do.    However, she thought he was not going to feel like a successful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London.    On the other had, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have lunch with his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she would like that.

66.Which of the following is true about Steve's attitude towards women who wrote love stories?
A. He had a low opinion of the kind of books they wrote.

TEXT B

When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression.    Following the termination of World War I, Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry.    Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things -- prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit.    The outlook for American business was rosy.

October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide.    The American stock market witnessed the "Great Crash," as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill.    Stock prices sank, and panic spread.    The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932.

Germany in the postwar years suffered from burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies.    The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war.    Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party.    Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness.    Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.

Roosevelt was elected because he promised a "New Deal" to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression.    Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans.    Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.

69.Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?
A. Stock prices were recovering slowly.
B. The nation was in a deep depression.
C. There were 12 million unemployed workers.
D. The nation needed help from the federal government.

D. a slump in the stock market

B. thinks the Depression could have been avoided
C. blames the Depression on the "Great Crash"
D. feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler
正确答案是

72.The best title for the passage is _____.

正确答案是

TEXT C

The three biggest lies in America are: (1) "The check is in the mail." (2) "Of course I'll respect you in the morning." (3) "It was a computer error."

Of these three little white lies, the worst of the lot by far is the third.    It's the only one that can never be true.    Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of '900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say: "It was a computer error."    Nonsense.    The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.    The most irritating case of all is when the computerized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does.    If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: "It was a computer error."

It wasn't, of course.    That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye.    The eye reads the Universal Product Code -- that ribbon of black and white lines in a comer of the package -- and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory.    If the price list is right, you'll be charged accurately.

Grocery stores update the price list each day -- that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices.    If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty.    But somehow "a computer error" is supposed to excuse everything.

One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are "electric brains" with "artificial intelligence."    At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today.    The smartest computer on earth right now is no more "intelligent" than your average screwdriver.    At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.

73.We are told that a high-tech cash register is really just _____.
A. an electric instrument of sight
B. a simple adding machine
C. a way to keep employees honest
D. an expensive piece of window dressing
正确答案是

74.Grocery store price lists are updated by _____.
A. a scanner
B. a telephone hookup
C. an adding machine
D. an employee
正确答案是

75.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?
A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.
B. Computer errors are basically human errors.
C. Computers can help department stores update the price list.
D. Supermarket price errors are often made through dishonesty.
正确答案是

TEXT D

All R&D executives have two major responsibilities: (1) they must ensure that the company is supplied with technically successful projects, and (2) they must select the most promising schemes and ideas for the expenditure of R&D resources.    This work is complicated by numerous uncertainties, inasmuch as commercial research and development must be based on market forecasts.

If R&D management can provide a regular flow of new and updated products, the company will benefit in a number of ways.    First of all, it will be able to make full use of expensive departmental resources, development engineering and available marketing capacity.    In addition to that, a flow of new market winners will provide the business with steady growth income and profits.    This can also be important psychologically, for it is often on this basis that those outside the company assess the quality of its management.

The R&D department's job is made more difficult because of the length of time required to complete its research.    In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, for example, it may take five to ten years before a product is a technical success and a further six to eight years before it reaches full commercial potential.

To achieve results, R&D must define both the areas that should be investigated and the objectives that should be achieved in each area.    For this reason, the R&D department must take an interest in all aspects of design, application, efficiency, and use of appropriate materials.    There is a difference, however, between the development of new consumer products and the development of new industrial ones.    In specific need, and development is tailored to meet it.    In many industrial markets, product development is the result of work down in the research laboratory.    This work is often aimed at a general need, such as a new kind of medicine or higher operating speeds for machines.    When the new industrial project has been developed, its performance can be analyzed in terms of customer needs.

76.How long does it take in some industries before a product achieves full commercial potential?
A. From five to ten years.
B. From six to eight years.
C. From seven to eleven years.
D. From eleven to eighteen years.
正确答案是

77.From the passage, we are told that consumer products are developed to _____.
A. make use of appropriate materials
B. assess the management of a company
C. meet a specific need
D. meet a general need
正确答案是

JAMAICA

There's no place like home

Here's you, at home in Jamaica in your own villa, all pastels and privacy.

With Evangeline to spoil you: she's going shopping soon, to surprise you with a lobster for dinner.    Madly extravagant?    Not at all.

There are hundreds of villas for rent, all over Jamaica.    Bring your family, or share one with your best friends, and the cost becomes increasingly attractive.    And what a nicer way to experience the bountiful wonders of Jamaica than to have your own special place to return to each evening, where you can sit back with a rum punch, talk about tomorrow, and say to yourself, "There's no place like home."

Some kinds of animals that are still around today were in existence millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaur.

One of these survivors is the crocodile, which has been around for about 100 million years.    Today's crocodiles can grow to a length of 20 feet and weigh about a ton.    Their prehistoric ancestors were about two-and-a-half times the size of today's animals.

Another survivor from the past is the Galapagos tortoise, whose history goes back around 200 million years.    The tortoise of today has not evolved much over last 200 million years; it looks about the same now as it did way back then.

The oldest survivor from prehistoric times is, can you believe it, the cockroach.    Cockroaches have been able to stick around for more than 250 million years.    The main reason for their incredible endurance is their ability to live in all kinds of conditions and survive on all kinds of food.

Even if the saying "cold hands, warm heart" were really true, the warmhearted probably would prefer to give up frozen fingers during the winter.    In Japan, where central heating is still something a luxury, Aoi Co., Ltd. has been distributing a small, disposable hand-and-body warmer that makes use of a harmless chemical reaction in order to generate heat.    This winter the Poco body warmer is making its debut in Canada, the United States and parts of Europe.    In addition to chasing away winter chills, the body warmer can be used to help relieve pain that results from muscle sprains and arthritis.

The Poco body warmer measures about three by five inches and is one-quarter inch thick.    It consists of a cloth bag containing a mixture of iron powder, moisturized wood powder, activated carbon and salt.    To get it going, the user simply opens the outer vinyl bag in which the unit is vacuum-packed and shakes the cloth bag.    The unit then absorbs oxygen from the air, which in conjunction with the moisture from the wood powder oxidizes the iron, giving off heat.    The packet maintains an average temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours, according to the manufacturer.    Aoi Co. officials say that the product contains no toxic chemicals.    The only precaution users need to follow is to avoid direct contact between the skin and the body warmer because burns can occur.    The unit sells for about '1.

HINCKLEY, John W., Jr. (1955-):
Accused Assailant of Ronald Reagan

On March 30, 1981 Ronald Reagan became the eighth sitting president of the United States to be subjected to an assassination attempt and the fourth -- after Andrew Jackson, Harry Truman and Gerald Ford -- to survive.    Reagan was shot by a 25-year-old drifter, John W. Hinckley of Evergreen, Colo., as he left the Washington Hilton Hotel, where he had addressed a labor audience.    The assailant was seized immediately after having fired four to six shots from a 22-caliber revolver, a type entered under the left armpit, pierced the chest, bounced off the seventh rib and plowed into the left lower lobe of the lung.    Reagan froze for a moment at the door of his limousine and then was brusquely pushed inside the car by a Secret Service agent.    Remarkably, the President did not realize he had been shot but thought he had simply been injured when shoved into the car.    Only upon arrival at the hospital was it determined that he had been shot.

Also wounded were three others: the President's press secretary, James S. Brady; a Secret Service agent, Timothy J. McCarthy; and a District of Columbia police officer in Dallas and moved with his family to Colorado in 1974.    He had attended Texas Tech University but never graduated.    At times he had traveled across the country, and in 1978 he had enrolled himself in the National Socialist Party of America, generally known as the Nazi Party of America.    A spokesman for that organization said the group had not renewed Hinckley's membership the following year because of his "violent nature".
