“for new technology to succeed,” says scientist andrew zolli,”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” the internet is one examplewhat will be the next?51. we can learn from the text that in the future_. a .people will never get old b. everyone will look the same c. red will be the most popular color d. clothes will be able to change their pattern52. what can be inferred from paragraph 3?

a. critical b. optimistic c. objective d. indifferentcarthur miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20thcentury. millers father had moved to the usa from austria hungary,drawn like so many others by the great american dream. however, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the great depression of the early 1930s. millers most famous play,death of a salesman, is a powerful attack on the american system, with its aggressive（进攻性的，侵略性的）way of doing business and its insistence（坚持，强调） on money and social status as indicators of worth. in willy loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. willy is burnt out and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment（感伤）: if he cant do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the wagner company, and he must go. willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. he refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. when it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the tony award for best play, the new york drama critics circle award, and the pulitzer prize for drama. it was the first play to win all three of these major awards. miller died of heart failure at his home in roxbury, connecticut, on the evening of february 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of death of a salesman on broadway.56. why did arthur millers father move to the usa?a. he suffered from severe hunger in his home country.b. he was attracted by the great american dreamc. he hoped to make his son a dramatist.d. his family business failed.57. the playdeath of a salesman_.a. exposes the cruelty of the american business worldb. discusses the ways to get promoted in a companyc. talks about the business career of arthur millerd. focuses on the skills in doing business58. what can we learn about willy loman?a. he treats his employer badly. b. he runs the wagner company.c. he is a victim of the american system. d. he is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.59. after it was first staged,death of a salesman_.a. achieved huge success b. won the first tony awardc. was warmly welcomed by salesmen d. was severely attacked by dramatists60. what is the text mainly about?a. arthur miller and his family b. the awards arthur miller wonc. the hardship arthur miller experienced d. arthur miller and his best-known playdin modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁荣), others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.i have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. for them, playing well and winning are often life anddeath affairs. in their singleminded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.however, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. in a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. teaching these young people, i often observe in them a desire to fail. they seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. by not trying, they always have an excuse: “i may have lost, but it doesnt matter because i really didnt try.” what is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. such a loss would be a measure of their worth. clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. both are based on the mistaken belief that ones selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. both are afraid of not being valued. only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.61. what does this passage mainly talk about?a. competition helps to set up selfrespect.b. opinions about competiti
