Each passage is fol
22、lowed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneAutomation refers to the introduction
23、of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the Second In
24、dustrial Revolution.Labors concern over automation arises form uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labor has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase to in
25、employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labor lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize
26、that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.To protect the interests of their members of in era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policie
27、s. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest I preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible probl
28、ems in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity. It
29、 is possibly, however, that labor will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to get the full benefits of automation.31. In order to get the full benefits of automation, labor will depend mostly on_.A. additional payment to the permanently dismissed workers.B. the increase of wages in pr
30、oportion to the increase ion productivityC. shorter working hours and more leisure timeD. strong drive for planning new installations32. Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of the “Second Industrial Revolution”? A. The automatic operation of productive machinery. B. A decrease in the ne
31、cessity for human effort in production. C. The manufacturing of large amount of goods. D. A reduction in leisure time33. Why is labor concerned over automation?A. Because the workers are afraid that they are not skilled in operating the machine.B. Because the workers are afraid that they are not qua
32、lified for the jobC. Because the workers are afraid that they may lose their jobsD. Because the workers are afraid that they will be paid less34. Labors attitude toward automation is that _.A. workers have to accept it since technological change cannot be stoppedB. it should be welcomed since it wil
33、l bring about a fall in costC. all efforts must be made to prevent automationD. its main interest lies in increasing its wages35. Which of the following will probably NOT be a long run result of automation?A. Industrial expansionB. An increase in employmentC. An increase in unemploymentD. Displaceme
34、nt of labor from one industry to another.Passage TwoBotany, the study of plants occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know to
35、day just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but form what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things even for ot
36、her plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many p
37、roperties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from directcontact with plant, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grow. Yet ever
38、yone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for ri
39、cher yields the next season the first great step in anew association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rathe
40、r than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild-and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.36. What does the first paragraph say about early humans?A. They did not enjoy the s
41、tudy of botany.B. They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.C. They kept detailed records of all the plants they knew.D. They had long established botany as a special branch of knowledge.37. What does the comment “This is logical” in the first paragraph mean?A. Plants provide food for all livi
42、ng things.B. Plants are most important to the welfare of people.C. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.D. It is hard for us to determine the extent of ancestors knowledge of plants 38. According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany begun to fade.A
43、. Because people no longer value plants as a useful resource.B. Because direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.C. Because botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.D. Because research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants.39. Why does the author menti
44、on “a rose, an apple, or an orchid ” in the second paragraph?A.To illustrate the diversity of botanical life.B.To make the passage more vivid and poetic.C. To cite examples of plants that are attractive.D. To give botanical examples that most people can recognize.40. According to the passage, what w
45、as the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?A. The changing diets of early humans.B. The development of a system of names for plants.C. The invention of agricultural implements and machinery. D. The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.Passage ThreeWind-generated
46、 power offers many advantages for an energy-hungry society becoming increasingly aware of the negative environmental effect of conventional electricity-generating systems.
