第3题:Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in less than 10 words. Have you ever been asked to take a polygraph test for a job?A polygraph,also called a lie detector,is a device that is used to find out if someone is telling a lie.It is based on the belief that lying causes certain physical reactions.These reactions,which include a change in blood pressure and pulse rate,are measured by the polygraph. Lie detector tests are often used in court and in the workplace.However,a law th at went effect in December 1988 limits the ways that employers can use these tests.Employers can no longer use them to screen(审查) people who are applying for jobs.The only exception is for those who want government jobs as security guards or drug handlers.Also,managers can no longer ask workers to take such tests unless there is reasonable suspicion that the worker has stolen or damaged property.This will curb tests for suspected offenses,such as drug use or sexual harassm ent,and for workers who were merely in the area of a theft.Bosses who request lie detector tests will have to tell workers why they are suspected of an offense. Also,they may not ask questions that degrade workers,such as questions about their sex lives. In any case,according to the new law,the test is now voluntary:You can't be fired for refusing to take it.If you have been forced to take a polygraph test,or if you are not being given a promotion because you have refused to take the test, you can sue the company or file a complaint with the Department of Labor.The Department of Labor can fine employers up to $10,000. Questions: 71. What is the passage mainly about? 72. How does the polygraph work? 73. The law of December,1988 prohibits employers from examing people who apply for jobs except ____ 74. Nowadays the bosses can ask the workers to take the polygraph tests only under the condition that____ 75. Under the new law,if a boss forces his worker to take a polygraph test,w hat punishment will he get? |

第5、6、7、8、9题:Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move. From earlist times, people have always been facinated by movement, But not until this century have we managed to capture movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to reinterpret it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector. In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters you create do exactly what you want them. A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in American in the early ninrteen twenties. Fedix was a marvellous cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back. Most of the great early animatiors lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Dianey cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailorman and his girl friend Olive Oyl were born at the Max Fleischer studios in 1933. But to be an animator, you don't have to ba a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is draw directly on to blank film and then run the film through a projector. 31. What's the main topic of the passage? A. American history. B. Cartoon making. C. Movement. D. Cartoon character. 32. Felix the Cat can do many things to it's tail except ______.

第10、11、12、13、14题:The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods. This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full- or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. 36. It's probably now that women __________. A. marry men younger than themselves B. do not do housework C. do not want to give birth to children D. provide the money to the family like her husband 37. For women at the twentieth, the amount of time spent caring for children ______. A. was shorter than in previous centuries B. was longer than in previous centuries C. was considered to be surprisingly long D. accounted for a great part of their lives 38. We are told that, in an average family about 1900 _______. A. many children died before they were five B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five C. the youngest child would be fifteen D. four of five children died when they were five 39. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother ______. A. was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one B. would not expect to work C. was very healthy and beautiful D. was considered to have a rest at home 40. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she _______. A. is younger when her children are still young B. does not like caring for children C. need not worry about food for her children D. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves |

第15、16、17、18、19题:Television was not invented by any one person. Nor did it spring into being overnight. It evolved gradually, over a long period, from the ideas of many people -- each one building on the work of their predecessors. The process began in 1873, when it was accidentally discovered that the electrical resistance of the element selenium varied in proportion to the intensity of the light shining on it. Scientists quickly recognized that this provided a way of transforming light variations into electrical signals. Almost immediately a number of schemes were proposed for sending pictures by wire(it was, of course, before radio). One of the earliest of these schemes was patterned on the human eye. Suggested by G. R. Carey in 1875, it envisioned a mosaic of selenium calls on which the picture to be transmitted would be focused by a lens system. At the receiving end there would be a similarly arranged mosaic made up of electric lights. Each selenium cell would be connected by an individual wire to the similarly placed light in the receiving mosaic. Light falling on the selenium cell would reproduce the original picture, had the necessary amplifiers and the right kind of lights been availablr, this system would have workrd. But it also would have required an imoractical number of connecting wires. Carey recognized this and in a second proposed to “scan” the cells-transmitting the signal from each cell to its associated light, in turn, over a single wire. If this were done fast enough, the retentive power of the eye would cause the resultant image to be seen as a complete picture. 41. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Television in the Electronic Era B. First Steps in the Invention of Television C. The Art of Television D. Harmful Effects of Television Viewing 42. In line 1, the word “being” could best be replaced by _____. A. place B. creature C. subsistence D. existence 43. An important discovery in earlyteleviosion was the electrical resistance of _____. A. mosaics B. the human eye C. lenses D. the element selenium 44. In 1875, Carey suggested that the human eye envisioned a mosaic of selenium cells on which the picture to be transmitted would be focused by ______. A. wire B. electric lights C. a lens system D. amplifiers 45. Following are the reasons why the first scheme for television was abandoned except _____. A. he lacks an effective assistant B. the necessary amplifers were unavailable C. the proper lights were unavailable D. the number of connecting wires is impractical |

第20、21、22、23、24题:Icebergs are among nature's most spectacular creations, and yet most people have never seen one. A vague air of mystery envelops them. They come into being-somewhere-in faraway, line frigid waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence, which in most cases no one hears or sees. They exist only a short time and then slowly away just as unnoticed. Objects of sheerest beauty, they have been called. Appearing in an endless variety of shapes, they may be dazzlingly white, or they may be glassy blue, green, or purple, tinted faintly or in darker hues. They are graceful, stately, inspiring-in calm, sunlit seas. But they are also called frightening and dangerous, and that they are in the night, in the fog, and in storms. Even in clear weather one is wise to stay at a safe distance away from them. Most of their bilk is hidden below the visible top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, churning the waters around them. Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off, drift into the water, float about a while, and finally melt. Iceberg afloat today are made of anowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time. They embody snows that drifted down hundreds, or many thousands, or in some cases maybe a million year ago. The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains, where they melted only a little or not at all, and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries. As each year's snow accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly fell on the top of the old, it too turned to icy grains. So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones. With time and pressure from above, the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice. 46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Name and Origin of Icebergs B. The Size and Shape of Icebergs C. The Dangers of icebergs D. The melting of Icebergs 47. The author states that iceberg are rarely seen because they are _____.

According to the passage, icebergs are dangerous because they _____. A. usually melt quickly B. can turn over suddenly C. may create immense snowdrifts D. can cause unexpected avalanches 50. "Dazzlingly" in Para 2 line 2 probably means _____. A. brilliant B. faint C. beautify D. sick |
