{{B}}Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.{{/B}}
Telecommuting-substituting the computer for the trip to the job-has been hailed as a solution to all kinds of problems related to office work. (78) {{U}}For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with childcare conflicts. {{/U}}For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes lateness and absenteeism by eliminating commuters (经常乘火车往返者), allows periods of solitude(独处) for high concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In some areas, such as SouthernCalifornia, Seattle, and Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour traffic and im-prove air quality.
But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images. Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter.A、computer programmer from New YorkCity moves to the quietAdirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer.A、manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two.An accountant stays home to care for her sick child; she hooks up her telephone modern connections and does office work between calls to the doctor.
These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. (79) {{U}}Telecom-muting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. {{/U}}Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize, much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family.Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done.
Management, too, must separate the myth from the reality.Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employee’s situa-tion, not the availability of technology, that precipitates (加速……来临) a telecommuting arrangement.
That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work-at-home programs or policy guidelines remains small.

Passage2Askthreepeopletolookoutthesamewi
Passage 2 　　Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see.Chances are you will receive three different answers.Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. 　　Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket.Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in a row. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what his senses – in this case our eyes – tell us. 　　Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors.By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.Which of the following statements is implied but not stated？
A、Psychologists do not yet know how people see.

B、The best experiments are those in which all factors are controlleD、
C．The study of perception is going on now.
D．Perception does not involve psychological factors.

{{B}}Passage 3{{/B}}
{{B}}Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.{{/B}}
When we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have summed up the most important single fact about it--at this moment in time. It appears probable, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligibly (微不足道的) small part of the Sun’s history.
Stars, like individuals, age and change.As we look out into space, we see around us stars at all stages of evolution. There are faint blooded dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit; there are scaring ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their radia-tion is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the "daylight" produced by any star depends on its temperature; today (and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 de-grees Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun’s light is concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in intensity toward both the longer and shorter light waves.
That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of the day will change accordingly. (80) {{U}}It is natural to assume that as the Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel-which it is now doing at the spanking rate of half a billion tons a sec-ond-it will become steadily colder and redder. {{/U}}
According to the passage, as the Sun continues to age, what color is it likely to becomeA．Yellow.
B．Violet.
C．ReD、
D．White.
