第三部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a, b, c和d)中，选出最佳选项.并在答且卡上将该项涂黑第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）aone hundred and thirteen million americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. they give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. more and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. for many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon-its already here. while computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. electronic cash registers can do much more than simply “ring up sales”. they can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. this information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. at the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. and they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.56according to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to . a. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes b. obtain more convenient services than other people do c. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper d. cash money where he wishes to57from the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that . a. in the future all the americans will use credit cards b. credit cards are mainly used in the united states today c. nowadays many americans do not pay in cash d. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before58the phrase “ring up sales” most probably means . a. make an order of goods b. record sales on a cash register c. call the sales manager d. keep track of the goods in stock59it can be inferred that .a. computers will bring disasterb. computer industry will not develop fasterc. computers will bring about more convenience to peoples life d. none b professor smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. when he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差错) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings, nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random (随机的).one of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “the explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. people programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. it was the womans custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. but somehow the action got reversed in the programme, about one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these programme assembly failures,altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing - an average of twelve each, there appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒谬可笑的). these are two hours some time between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain programmes occurs, for instance between going to and from work. women on average reported slightly more lapses 12.5 compared with 10.9 for men probably because they were more reliable reporters. a startling finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazar（冒险）of doing things in which we are skilled. normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. but trying to avoid silly lapses by concentrating more could make things a lot worse or even dangerous.60. in his study professor smith asked the subjects .a. to keep track of people who tend to forget thingsb. to report their embarrassing lapses at randomc. to analyse their awkward experiences scientificallyd. to keep a record of what they did unintentionally61. programme assembly failures (line 6, para. 2) refers to the phenomenon that people .a. often fail to programme their routines beforehandb. tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurryc. unconsciously change the sequence of doing thingsd. are likely to mess things up if they are too tired62. we learn from the third paragraph that .a. absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the dayb. women are very careful to perform actions during peak periodsc. women experience more peak periods of absent-mindednessd. mens absent-mindedness often results in funny situations63. it can be concluded from the passage that .a. people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapsesb. hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good atc. people should be careful when programming their actionsd. lapses cannot always be due to lack of concentration cthe seas and rivers are being poisoned by radioactive wastes, by chemical discharges and by the dumping of dangerous raw swage(污水). the air we breathe is polluted by smoke and fumes from factories and motor vehicles; even the rain is poisoned. its little wonder forests and lakes are being destroyed and everywhere wildlife is disappearing, and yet the destruction continues. governments and industries throughout the world are intensifying(加紧) their efforts to extract the earths mineral riches and to destroy its living resources. the great rain-forest and the frozen continents alike are seriously threatened, despite the warnings of the scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people. in fact， we can create environmentally clean industries, use the power of the sun, wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite（有限的） resources of the earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life-forms which share this planet with us.64the main idea of the passage is that .athe seas and rivers are being poisoned bwe can protect natural environmentscthe natural world is under violent attack from mandgovernments and industries should be responsible for the destruction of the natural world65rain-forests are being destroyed because governments and industries .aare unaware of what they are doing wrong bare rich and powerfulcchoose to ignore criticism dbasically care about the environment66the earths resources .ashould be only for the people bcan be made to last longercwill last forever dbelong to just humans and animalsd one of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age（rosla）has been that it will bring us some way nearer to “equality of opportunity”.many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. it would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. it is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways. unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. for instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all males 18 to 20 year old. half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15. it has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. one study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16. it is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizesmoney, social respectability, and interesting jobswhich higher education gives. it is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social background. their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they dont value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. it is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “its up to you”. 67it is hoped that rosla will give all children aa more enjoyable time at schoolbthe same chances in society cthe right to a better school dhigher scores in intelligence tests68people would like to think that aequal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach university bthose with the least money get the best education cintelligent children are always selected by the system donly really clever children do well69working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because amany of the clever ones leave school early bfewer go to university than ever before c. more than half leave school when they are 16 dfewer boys than girls stay at school after 1670this article shows that equal opportunity in education ais a thing of the past bhas not yet been achieved cis there for those who deserve it dhas greatly improved our society 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. all of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 71 culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies. culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 72 here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. in the province of midnapore in india, the director of a childrens home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. 73 in his diary, the director describes his first view of kamala (as the older child was named) and amala ( the name given to the younger child): kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 74 their eyes were bright and s
