| 第2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4、5、6、7、8题：The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal,the younger son of the Partuguese king and an English princess. Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century.As a boy he became devoted to the sea,and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them.In 1416,when he was twentytwo,Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him—Jewish astronomers,Italian and Spanish sailors,and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it. Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to hug the shore.The caravel carried more sail and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made,yet was tough enough to withstand gales at sea.He also developed the carrack,which was a slower ship,but one that was capable of carrying more cargo. To Prince Henry the world owes credit for development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible.He lives in history as Henry the Navigator. 36.
