Stunt people(替身演员)who entertained cinema-goers by falling from the sky, swimming with sharks and driving fast cars have been replaced by technology. After generations of street fights, high falls and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly stunts can now be achieved by mixing computer picture with live action.In the mid-1990s, there were 12,000 registered stunt people, but more than half of them had difficulty finding work. Sometimes, six or seven teams would be working on a film. Then after a few days, the producers would come in and say, “You can go home.”The reason was simple: cost. Computer technology made it possible to create stunts which would either be too expensive or too dangerous to attempt. With rise of digital technology(数字技术), insurance company became more reluctant to cover real stunts. “If they know it can be done safely with visual effects, the companies will not insure real stunts,” said a stunt person.Many in their industry believe stunt people should develop expertise in the new technology, acting as advisers on the virtual stunts. Some, however, think that stunt people can survive in their traditional careers. They believe that audiences wont accept stunts produced by computers for too long.36. The most dangerous and costly stunts can be done by _.A. using computer graphics onlyB. mixing computer graphics and live actionC. improving the effects of real stuntsD. increasing the number of the stunt people37. The stunt people are losing their jobs because of _.A. the speed in making moviesB. the cost in making moviesC. the insurance of moviesD. the visual effects of the real stunts38.

Computers will surely make stunt people lose their jobs.B. The stunt people should blame on the use of computer in making stunts.C. Computers make the job of the stunt people more challenging.D. Audiences are losing interests in the stunt people.40. The purpose of this passage is to _.A. promote the use of real stunts in the film-makingB. describe the working scenes of the stunt peopleC. recommend jobs to the stunt peopleD. introduce the difficult situation of the stunt people at workPassage 2A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.The poll found that public favors some government protection from cyber-problems(网络问题), but in general, people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that “some kind of gap has been crossed: Computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind.”41. The first paragraph shows that _.A. the new poll about computers and the Internet is helpfulB. people should explore the dangers of computerizationC. people cannot do without computers and the InternetD. computerization has its advantages and disadvantages42.

Americans tent to place more importance in the Internet usage than computers D. the public in America do not hate the Internet problemsPassage 3The business cycle is composed of many phases and one of them is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity.During the recovery period there is an ever-growing expansion of existing equipment. And new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of serious kinds are made. There is an ever increasing positive view about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or “heavy” industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required.As more parts of the economy develop, other parts are affected. For example, the expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are achieved. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials. This increase the amount of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity develops among the various parts of the population.This prosperity period may continue to rise without an obvious end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops going upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase.46. Which of the following does NOT happen in economic recovery?A. The expansion of existing facilities.B. The creation of new business.C. The disappearance of old business.D. The increase of optimism about future of economy.47.

Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. Development of EconomyB. Recovery of EconomyC. Expansion of EconomyD. Prosperity of EconomyPassage 4 Competition with research in universities is very harmful to teaching. Therefore, it would be much more beneficial to teaching to develop a sound program of educational research. Such a program would improve teaching theory and technique. It would also make clear what competencies are required of a good teacher as well as help professors attain them.Educational research should be required to meet the same standards as scientific research, but it cannot be raised to those standards without comparable support and duty. Competent educational research is no more a part-time activity than competent scientific research. The relatively trivial(琐碎的) educational research so common in the universities is an inseparable result of trivial duties by the universities. Rather than look down upon such research, the professors have an obligation to see that it is upgraded.Let no one think that educational research is easy; it is concerned with no less than solving the complexities of the human mind. There is no reason to believe that an effective theory and technology of instruction is easier to achieve than controlled nuclear fusion. It is certainly every bit as worthy.51. Competition with research in universities _.A. should be encouragedB. is very beneficial to teachingC. makes it clear how to be good teachersD. is not beneficial to instruction52. Which of the following best describes the purpose of a sound program of educational research? A. To develop teaching theories. B. To avoid the harm of competition with research C. To develop teaching techniques D. To help professors improve competencies.53. The competent educational research _. A. does not have the same standards with competent scientific research B. is a part-time activity of education C. should have standards which require different duties D. produces the same influence with scientific research54. What is the authors attitude towards trivial educational research? A. It should not be paid attention to by professors. B. It can be looked down upon by competent professors. C. It does not have the same duties with competent research. D. It does not need improvement.55. This passage is mainly about _. A. competition with research in universities B. a sound program of educational research C. standards of a sound program of educational research D. competent of educational researchPart III Translation (40%) Section A Turn the following passages into Chinese: Passage 1This book is intended to provide the students of physical science with help in mastering elementary physics, chemistry and each science.
