For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage: In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break up of the family occurs when the parents divorce, A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the childrens emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parents own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.51.

American Children B. American Families C. American Mother D. American ParentsQuestions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage: When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinesestudents or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted theprofessor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not asaggressive as American students. I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar (讨论会). The professor didnt actas an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questionstogether with the students. One linguistic (语言的) feature of his interacting with his students wasthat he used many modal (情态的) verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai. When answeringquestions, he usually said, This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. or You could beright, but you might find this point of view also interesting. In China, authorities are alwayssupposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect theprofessor to give an answer to the question, i still remember how frustrated they were whenforeign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are muchhigher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sureabout it. Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taughtin our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the sameidea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a studentsability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education inAmerica is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancingcritical thinking.55.

Minuteslater, at an altitude of 300 miles, this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radiobegins to transmit an astonishing amount of information about the satellites orbital path, theamount of radiation it detects, and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races backto the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all these facts, much less remember andorganize them. But an electronic computer can. The marvel of the machine age, the electroniccomputer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations-add, subtract, multiplyand divide-with lighting speed and perfect accuracy. Some computers can work 500,000 timesfaster than any person can. Once it is given a program - that is, a carefully worked out set of instructions devised bya technician trained in computer language - a computer can gather a wide range of information formany purposes. For the scientist it can get information from outer space or from the depth of theocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories, keeps track of salestrends and production needs, mails dividend checks, and makes out company payrolls. It can keepbank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane, thecomputer will find out what to take and what space is available. Not only can the computer gather facts, it can also store them as fast as they are gathered andcan pour them out whenever they are needed. The computer is really a high powered memorymachine that has all the answers-or almost all. Besides gathering and storing information, thecomputer can also solve complicated problems that once took months for people to do. At timescomputers seem almost human. They can read hand printed letters, play chess, compose music,write plays and even design other computers. Is it any wonder that they are sometimes calledthinking machines? Even though they are taking over some of the tasks that were once accomplished by our ownbrains, computers are not replacing us at least not yet. Our brain has more than 10 million cells. Acomputer has only a few hundred thousand parts. For some time to come, then, we can safely saythat our brains are at least 10, 000 times more complex than a computer. How we use them is forus, not the computer, to decide.59. Program means _ A. a plan of what is to be done B. a complete show on a TV station at a fixed time table C. a scheduled performance D. series of coded instructions to control the operations of a computer60. The computer is a high powered memory machine, which _ A. has all the ready answers - or almost all to any questions B. can remember everything C. can store everything and work for you D. has all the answers - or almost to all
