The question is far from being answered. Once more, colleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop fun courses and restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽视) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time. Obviously the purely vocational training once favored is not enough. But neither is the gentlemans education of the nineteenth century. Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems. What, then, is a good education of this century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world, and also because a person who doesnt speak and write clearly doesnt reason clearly either; some knowledge of the social sciences (sociology, psychology) that deal with human relations and human problems; some basic knowledge of modern science, which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear. Finally, many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? No, of course not. answer the educators. We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education: history and literature! 26The best title for this passage might be _. AEducation BA Mastery of English CA Good Education DSomething About Study27The underlined word drop in the first paragraph means _. Adesert Bdislike Cdecline Dneglect28The author thinks that the question about what a good education is _. Ahas been answered fairly well Bhasnt been put forward yet Chas been dealt with successfully Dhas not been answered satisfactorily29Some educational experts believe a mastery of English should include the ability _. Ato read fast Bto write and speak well Cto write clearly and accurately Dto listen and speak skillfully 30Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage? AEducational programs must meet the demand of a modern world.BThe students will not get a degree unless they take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences and art.CA good education should include foreign language and the study of foreign culture. DEvery student ought to take part in military training. BIn the past ten years, Americas National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players. When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters（花名册） will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010. The NBA is now planning to take China by storm. “Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy（战略，策略） in China is television. “Weve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.“It doesnt matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout（寻找，觅得） internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBAs vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets Chinese centre Yao Ming number one draft pick in 2002 and the Detroit Pistons 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic number two overall in this years draft are icons（偶像）in-waiting. It is the ultimate（最后的，根本的） revolution the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball. 31. According to the report, .A.

This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel,a computer science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a persons face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthedwithout speaking alouda few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.36. Which of the following statements is not true ?A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.B. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.C. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.37. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation. B. Multiple Translator.C. Muscle Translator. D. Translation Prototype.38. Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.39. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.40.Where can this passage probably be excerpted from?A. A newspaper. B. A magazine on science.C. A fairy tale. D. A scientific fantasy book.DDanielle Steel, Americas sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book business.
