共 共 40 分 分 Section A 每小题 每小题 2 分 共分 共 30 分 分 Directions There are 3 reading passages in this section Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A B C and D Choose the best answer to each question Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet Passage 1 In bringing up children every parent watches eagerly the child s acquisition 学 会 of each new skill the first spoken words the first independent steps or the beginning of reading and writing It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child This might happen at any stage A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early A young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads On the other hand though if a child is left alone too much or without any learning opportunities he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children Some may be especially strict in money matters Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals In general the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child s own happiness As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child consistency is very important in parental teaching To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality 道德 Also parents should realize that example is better than precept If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach 说教 their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves and realize they have been to some extent fooled A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment 注意 此部分试题请在答题卡上作答 21 Eagerly watching the child s acquisition of new skills A should be avoided B is universal among parents C sets up dangerous states of worry in the child D will make him lose interest in learning new things 22 In the process of children s learning new skills parents A should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they 得 分 班级 姓名 学号 第 4 页 共 9 页 read B should not expect too much of them C should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own D should create as many learning opportunities as possible 23 The second paragraph mainly tells us that A parents should be strict with their children B parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community C parental restrictions vary and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone D parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation 24 The word precept Line 3 Para 3 probably means A idea B punishment C behavior D instruction 25 In moral matters parents should A observe the rules themselves B be aware of the marked difference between adults and children C forbid things which have no foundation in morality D consistently ensure the security of their children Passage 2 For years there have been endless articles stating that scientists are on the verge of achieving artificial intelligence and that it is just around the corner The truth is that it may be just around the corner But they haven t yet found the right clock Artificial intelligence aims to build machines that can think One immediate problem is to define thought which is harder than you might think The specialists in the field of artificial intelligence complain with some justification 正当理由 that anything that their machines do is dismissed as not being thought For example computers can now play very very good chess They can t beat the greatest players in the world but they can beat just about anybody else If a human being played chess at this level he or she would certainly be considered smart Why not a machine The answer is that the machine doesn t do anything clever in playing chess It uses its blinding speed to do a brute force 残忍的 search of all possible moves for several moves ahead evaluates the outcomes and picks the best Humans don t play chess that way They see patterns which computers don t This wooden approach to thought characterizes machine intelligence Computers have no judgment no flexibility 灵活性 no common sense So called expert 班级 姓名 学号 第 5 页 共 9 页 systems one of the hottest areas in artificial intelligence aim to mimic 模仿 the reasoning processes of human experts in a limited field such as medical diagnosis or weather forecasting There may be limited commercial applications for this sort of thing but there is no way to make a machine think about anything under the sun which a teenager can do The hallmark 特征 of artificial intelligence to date is that if a problem is severely restricted a machine can achieve limited success But when the problem is expanded to a realistic one computers fall flat on their display screens For example machines can understand a few words spoken individually by a speaker that they have been trained to hear They can not understand continuous speech using an unlimited vocabulary spoken by just any speaker 注意 此部分试题请在答题卡上作答 26 From the passage we know that the author A doubt whether scientists can achieve artificial intelligence B thinks that the scientists are about to achieve artificial intelligence C does not think that scientists have achieved artificial intelligence D is sure that scientists have achieved artificial intelligence 27 We learn from the second paragraph that A computers play chess in exactly the same way as humans B anything that the computer does can be regarded as thought C it is not very difficult to define thought D the writer thinks that the specialists complaints have some reasons 28 The advantage of the computer in playing chess lies in its A cleverness in thinking out original moves B ability to pick up the best out of all possible moves very quickly C flexibility in choosing several different moves D ability to see patterns 29 The characteristic of machine intelligence is its A correct judgment B high flexibility C rigid approach to thought D ability to think about anything 30 Which of the following statements about computers is TRUE according to the passage A Computers can beat any chess players in the world B Computers can never be used to forecast weather C Computers can be trained to understand some words spoken by a speaker D Computers can be made to think as a teenager does 班级 姓名 学号 第 6 页 共 9 页 Passage 3 Long hours at the screen can cause aching eyes blurred vision and headaches experts say In fact eyestrain surpasses even wrist pain as the top physical complaint among heavy computer users When peering into the computer screen the eye s focusing muscle is at constant tension Like any muscle it feels sore when overloaded And when someone spends a lot of time looking at something close the eye muscle can get stuck on the near focus setting and have difficulty relaxing leaving the person temporarily nearsighted a condition called accommodative spasm 痉挛 that can last seconds or hours This is why after looking at a monitor all day some computer workers complain that their distance vision is blurred when they attempt to drive home The letters on the screen are not as clearly defined as on a printed page Take a magnifying glass to your monitor and you ll see the letters each made up of pinpoint sources of light have no sharp edges But those liquid crystal display LCD monitors like those found on laptop computers are easier on the eyes because they display sharper images And studies have shown that when people are working on a computer their rate of blinking goes down by two thirds which can result in dry stinging eyes This is especially a problem for contact lenses wearers 注意 此部分试题请在答题卡上作答 31 used to be the biggest physical problem that computer users had A Dry eyes B Blurred vision C Headache D Wrist pain 32 Working hours before the screen will A impose too much burden on the eye s focusing muscle B bring about near sightedness C make it difficult for the user to learn driving D magnify the letters on the screen 33 LCD monitors are better in terms of eye protecting because A they are more expensive B they will not blur the user s eyes C they bring about no eye problems D they display letters with sharp edges 34 Dry stinging eyes are caused by A lower rate of blinking of the computer user s eyes B letters on the screen without any edges 班级 姓名 学号 第 7 页 共 9 页

too ready to 38 to others the cold wind of 39 we are somehow 40 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise Why when one word can bring such pleasure A friend of mine who travels 41 always tries to learn a little of the language of any place she 42 She s not 43 of a linguist but she does know how to say one word beautiful in several languages She can use it to a mother 44 her baby or to a
