Naturally四. 阅读理解(共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项： ( A ) Everyone wants some degree of success. Many people believe that they deserve success simply because they believe that they deserve success.But there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影响的) friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). This injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.At the same time, we should not be pessimistic (悲观的). More and more often modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, “This cant be right! $ 100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer?” The engineer wrote out a new bill: “For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap. $99.”56. The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because _. A. it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the man B. her boss did not think she had the fight qualifications for the job C. the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she was D. it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague57. The engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because_. A. he hit the machine to get it started again B. the factory owner could not have repaired it himself C. he was charging for his knowledge and expert skills D. he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it58. What can we learn about the authors attitude toward the widespread belief that “people get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it”? A. He quite agrees with it. B. He doesnt express his opinion his opinion at it. C. He completely disagrees with it. D. He doesnt quite agree with it.59. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true? A. Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes. B. The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner. C. Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted. D. Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.

Many innovative(革新的) things are happening in both public and university libraries. Libraries using new equipment and techniques for research, and librarians are teaching students the new techniques. One service that some university libraries are now providing is a computer search of materials for students doing research. Before starting a research project, students may check with their library to see if a computer search is worthwhile. This kind of search cannot help with all research projects, but it can save time if the topic is in the computers database(数据库). When you are doing a manual (人工的) search for a research paper, you look at all the indexes(索引) suitable for the research topic. You look up the words related to the topic in the indexes. It takes many hours to look up this information and write down the references. A computer search is faster and easier. You and a librarian decide on the words to enter the computer. The computer looks for these words in this database and gives you a list of reference for your topic. A computer can take two or more ideas and produce references that combine those ideas. A computer search can also be more complete than a manual search. College and university libraries are providing other technological services as well. Another change is the frequent use of microfilm. Libraries are able to collect building by having newspapers, magazines, and other documents on microfilm. Students use microfilm readers in the library for these materials. These innovations in libraries are helpful to library users, but they are also expensive. Many libraries are facing budget problems. There is more technology available today; as a result, libraries are facing budget problem. There is more technology available today; as a result, libraries are paying higher costs for the equipment that makes researches easier.64.

A. if librarians are helpful to them B. if a computer search will be useful C. if a computer writes out a list of the words they entered D. if the computer looks through its database to choose their topic65.

A. computer searches can save time B. computer searches are useless for most kinds of research C. computer searches are not helpful before the research project D. a computer search for materials is the best way to begin any type of research66. Libraries can keep larger amounts of materials by _. A. buying a lot of newspapers B. using different indexes from other university libraries C. collecting more information on other university building D. having microfilm copies of newspapers and other documents67. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. Technological innovations are helpful but expensive. B. Libraries have budget problems because it is easier to use newspapers. C. Libraries have budget problems because of the many library users. D. Technological equipment makes research easier for the library ( D ) Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring. Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn. But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive (毁灭性的). A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain. Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict(预测) how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms. Predictions are improving. “Weve gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzback says. First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气) cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engin
