Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A mans secretary became his personal servant, charged with remembering his wifes birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep people he did not wish to speak to away; and, of course, typing, filing and taking shorthand. Now all this may be changing again. High technology is sweeping the British office, taking away much of the daily office work that secretaries used to do. Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve only the high powered workand then men will want to do it again. That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial (秘书的) agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the US. Once high technology has made secretarial work less routine, will men take all of these jobs? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as donot just because they can buy gifts for the bosss wife, but because they are as efficient and trained to cope with word processors and computers as men. 1.Before the First World War, female secretaries were rare because they _.A. were replaced by menB. were not as serious as menC. were personal servantsD. were thought to distract others2.A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to _.A. order her boss servantsB. clean her bosss clothesC. do everything her boss asked her toD. telephone her bosss wife3.Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by _.A. machinesB. other staffC. servantsD. wives4.A secretary in the future will _.A. be better paidB. have higher statusC. have less work to doD. have more work to do5.The writer believes that before long _.A. both men and women will be secretariesB. men will do better than machinesC. men will take over womens job as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity (强度) that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims. Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the citys highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes (准则) in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the citys buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes. Despite the good news, civil engineers arent resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations (振动). The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquakes vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes. 1994年洛杉矶发生强烈大地震后，地震学家报告了一个好消息：地震所造成的伤亡和损害并不大。此次地震有60多人丧生。相较而言，美国1998年发生的相似强度的地震造成的伤亡多达25，000人。洛杉矶地震伤亡人数相对较少，是因为地震发生在凌晨4：31，而当天是个假日。当时城市公路上的车辆稀少。此外，在过去的20年中洛杉矶市对建筑法规所做的修订使城市的建筑和道路系统更加坚固，增强了抗震能力。在过去，防震建材指的是坚固并且有弹性的材料，如钢材和木材，它们即使弯曲也不会折断。后来，人们尝试着将建筑物从地基上提起来，然后在建筑物和地基之间填充橡胶和钢材，从而减少地面震动对建筑物的影响。最新的建筑设计不仅为建筑提供水泥和钢筋支撑，而且还赋予它智能，从而成为智能建筑，让建筑物能像生命有机体那样对地震做出反应。当地面震动而导致建筑物顶部向前倾斜时，计算机将会迫使建筑物向相反方向移动。这种新的建筑设计能够使处于地震多发区的城市更为安全。这种新型的智能型建筑造价高昂。然而，它可以挽救许多人的生命，而且在地震中不大可能受到损害。6.One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that _.A. new computers had been built into the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential (居住的) areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways7.The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to _.A. counterbalance (抵消) an earthquakes action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquakes vibrations8.The smart buildings discussed in the passage _.A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes9.It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on _.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes10.The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to _.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the USB. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre hot. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon (午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (独白) as: Get up, John! Youll be late for work again! The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (阻碍) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to
