The early models are expensive and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic impact is relatively great. 2._ The second phase is the explosive one, where the innovation was rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets3._ cheaper and easier to use and becomes something familiar. And then in the third stage, diffusion of the innovation slows down again, as if it permeates out across the economy. 4._ During the explosive phase, whole new industries spring up to produce the new product or innovation, and to service it. For example, during the 1920s, there was dramatic 5._ acceleration in auto production, from 1.9 million in 1920 to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was accompanied with all 6._ sorts of other essential activities necessary for an auto-based nation: Roads had to been built for the cars to 7._ run on; refineries and oil wells, to provide the gasoline; and garages, to repair it. 8._ Historically, the same pattern is repeated again and again with innovations. The construction of the electrical system requested an enormous early investment in generation and 9._ distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was followed by a buying spree (无节制的狂热行为) by Americans what quickly brought radios into almost half of all households10._ by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924. 五After months of speculation about what A would do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web surfers finally got their first taste on Apr. 14. Yet despite of some intriguing new features not yet found 1._ on leading sites such as Google and Yahoo! , the site () - still in test mode - rises as many questions2_as it answers. The biggest question remains is whether Amazon, 3._through A9, would clash into Google more directly.4._Google itself is testing a search engine for products called Froogle thats starting to appeal Web shoppers. 5._At the same time, Amazon clearly isnt looking to limit A9s horizons. How directly A9 eventually goes up against the reigned6. _search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one,7._it may run into some of the same privacy issues thatrecently have plagued Google. A9s privacy policy pointsout that information provided through entering search term8._or by signing into ones Amazon account could supply the companywith information that could personally identify the searcher. Those may be somewhat less intrusive（打扰的，冒犯的） than9._Googles upcoming Gmail free e-mail offering, which could searchthe contents of messages to pitch personalized ads. But comments posted on some sites already indicate some people areuncomfortable with Googles potential threats to privacy. 10._六The European Union had approved a number of genetically modified crops until late 1998. But growing public concern over its supposed environmental and health risks led several1. _EU countries to demand a moratorium (暂时禁止) on imports of any new GM produce. By late 1999 there were enough such country to block any new approvals of GM produce.2. _Last year, America filed a complaint at the WTO about themoratorium, arguing that it was an illegal trade barrier because there is no scientific base for it.3._As more studies have been completed on the effects of GM crops, the greens case for them has weakened.4._Much evidence has emerged of health risks from eating5. _them. And, overall, the studies have shown that the environmental effects on modified crops are not always6._as serious as the greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists continue to find fault of such studies and argue that 7._they are inconclusive.While Americans seem happy enough to consume food made from GM crops, opinion polls continue to show that European consumers dislike the idea. Europeans seem be taking the attitude 8. _which , since there remains the slightest possibility of adverse9. _consequences and since it is clear how they, as consumers, benefit10. _from GM crops, they would rather not run the risk. 七Many Americans mindlessly oppose hunting. They do so even incases where animal populations are dangerous high. In 1._some areas of Alaska, wolves have become so rare that they 2_are running out of hunting ground and prey heavily on moose, deer, and occasionally dogs. In past, game 3_managers curbed wolf populations for trapping and aerial 4_hunting without wiping away the species. Still, whenever 5_ they propose do this nowadays, they receive tens 6_of thousands letters of protest. Growing deer populations in 7_parts of California threat to starve themselves out. Seaotter 8_colonies, booming in the Pacific coast, are fast running 9_out of food, too, as good as putting commercial fisher- 10_men out of business.八Many describe Freud as the most influential psychologistof all time. Yet not everyone recognize the profound effect of 1._psychoanalytic theory in the way most of us look at human 2._behavior, regardless of any formal exposure to Freuds works. For example, most adults in Western society accept the idea thatbehavior can be influenced by an unconscious part of the mind. We say things like “I must have done that consciously” or “Even3._though I didnt realize it consciously, maybe unconsciouslyI did.” Although Freud was not the first to talk about the unconscious, no one ago, or probably since, has placed 4._so many emphasis upon unconscious processes in explaining 5._human behavior. Do you believe that dreams hold important psychologicalinformation, revealing inner fears and desires? If so, you are backing on an idea that Freud popularized. 6._As people had been interpreting dreams for thousands of 7._years, Freud was the first to incorporate dream interpretation into a larger psychological theory. When we talk about our dreams and try to figure it out, we are informally following a therapeutic 8._procedure outlining by Freud at the turn of the century. 9._Numerous examples of Freudian thought can be found in ourdaily language, as well as in modern literature and in motion pictures. Thus, an understanding of Freudian psychology is part of a good liberal arts education; it can aid the observant student to appreciating subtle and not-so-subtle references 10._九Learning does not happen passively. It is an activity which a person does. It is a task which can be attempted in various of ways, some of which are 1._more appropriate than others. When the material to be learned is 2._a brief and simple kind which is familiar with the person and of intense 3._interest to him, effective learning usually proceeds automatically. In the first place, the person at once relates the material to other material which has already securely learned. Subsequently, the relevance 4._of the newly learned material to his interests assures its being 5._recalled on many occasions; and one repetition minimizes 6._the likelihood of remembering. Furthermore, the subsequent use 7._of the new material is likely to take place in a variety of contexts and, so, the material becomes related to a narrower range of other material. 8._Because of all this, the material is rapidly learned, long retained, and recalled with increasingly readiness in a variety of 9._contexts. Without really trying, the person had fulfilled a 10._ few important conditions of effective learning.三答案：4.
