20、ive at 55 miles per hour everywhere in their coun try. Questions 25 to 28 are based on the following passage : There are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flyi ng airpla nes and driv ing subway trains. And some do a simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on,

21、 water pours in. The machine waits until the water is hot before washing the clothes. It does this byfeedback.l nformati on about whatis happe ning is feedbacks nto the robot to tell it what to do n ext. Our eyes , ears and other sen ses are our feedback . They tell us what is going on around us. So

22、 robots are like people in two ways. They work and they have feedback. There are robots all around, making our lives easier. Some of them , like the pocket calculator, can work muchmore quickly than humanbeings can. And they rarely make mistakes. In someways robots are better than people. They work

23、quickly, but do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over aga in. And they n ever get tired . Robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many differe nt jobs. First their electro nic brains must be show n how the job is done . A pers on moves the ro

24、botarma nd ha ndthrough each part of the job. The robots brain remembers each move. When the robot is put to work on its own , its brain controls the rods , wheels and motors which move its arm. When the robot is n eeded for a new job, its electro nic memory is wiped clean.Then it is taught how to d

25、o its new task. If the robots hand stops working, or if something gets in the way, it cannot do the next part of the job. So it stops and signals for help. Then a humanengineer repairs it. The most、intelligent robots can moveand see. Their eyes are cameras. Their metal fin gers can feel shapes and e

29、 will be built. B. People will stop mak ing robots. C. There will be laws aga inst using robots. D. Robots will ben efit n obody. Questio ns 29 to 32 are based on the follow ing passage: Tests con ducted at the Un iversity of Penn sylva nia s Psychological Laberatory showed that an ger is one of the

30、 most difficult emotio ns to Find out from facialexpressi ons. Professor Dallas E. Buzby confron ted 716 stude nts with pictures of extremely angry persons , and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression. Only two perce nt made correct judgme nts. An ger was most freque ntly judg

31、ed asFleased. And a typical react ion of a stude nt confron ted with the picture of a man who was mad was to classify his expressi on as eitherbewildered , quizzical , or simplyamazed . Other studies showedthat it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his fa

32、ce. The investigators found further that wome n are better at finding out an ger from facial expressi ons tha n men are. Paradoxically , they found that psychological training does not improve on es ability to judge a mans emotions by his expressions but actually hinders it . For in the university t

33、ests ,the more courses the student had taken in psychology , the poorer judgme nt score he tur ned in . 29. The in formatio n in this passage cen ters around_ . A. the relati on betwee n an ger and other emotio ns B. the differe nces betwee n men and wome n with respect to emoti on C. the in flue ne

34、e of psychology on huma n emoti ons D. the discovery of an ger from facial expressi ons 30 .

37、nt is similar to what we have expected D. we can expect such training to have the effect stated Questio ns 33 to 36 are based on the follow ing passage: Would nt it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well,you can. The forecast is writte n in cloud

38、s. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With somepractice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows , you might eve n do as well as meteorologists. Meteorologists use much more in formatio n tha n just the appear. ance of the clouds to makethei

39、r forecast. They collect data from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high - speed computers. This does give meteorologists an adva ntage , because they can track weather patter ns as they move from west to east across the coun try. But you have an advantage,too. You can look at the

40、 sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast thats several hours old to make a local forecast . What are you see ing whe n you look at a cloud? A picture of what moisture is doing in the atmosphere says meteorologist Peter Leavit . Theres moisture throughout the atmosphe

41、re. Most of the time you dont see it , because its in the form of an inv isible gas called water vapor . Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold eno ugh to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. Thats called condensation , and we see it happen all the time( for example , whenhumid

42、air from the hower hits the cold glass of a mirror) Whene no ugh water vapor conden ses, droplets form in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is see n. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Chan ges in clouds show cha nges in

43、 the atmosphere. You should beg in to no tice patter ns. Certa in clouds, follow ing each other in order, can sin gal an approachi ng storm. But dont take our word for it; see for yourself. 33 . This passage mainly tells us about how _ . A. to become a meteorologist B. to keep an eye on the weather

44、C. to be an assista nt to a meteorologist D. to cha nge water vapor to liquid water 34.Acording to the passage , an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast-.

A. by collect ing data from all over the world B. by putt ing this data into powerful , high - speed computers C. by calculat ing and an alyz ing this data D. all above. 36 . Your

46、 adva ntage in weather forecasts is that-. A. you have more powerful computers at home B. your brain works as well as a high speed computer C. you observe the sky and obta in your data directly D. teorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them Questions 37 to 40 are based on the follow

47、ing passage: Security and commodity exchanges are trading posts where people meet who wish to buy or sell. The excha nges themselves do no trad in g,they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and con duct their bus in ess. Wall Street , although the best known , is not

48、 the only home of ex- cha nges in the Un ited States. There are cott on excha nges in New Or- lea ns and Chicago , the Merca ntile Excha nge , which deals in many farm products , in Chicago , and grain exchanges in many of the large cities of the Midwest . Some exchanges , like the Chicago Board of

49、Trade , provide market services for several kinds products.These trad ing posts where products may be bought or sold are called commodity excha nges . The security exchanges, on the other hand, are meeting places where stocks and bonds are traded. Like the commodity excha nges, they help serve the e

50、cono mic life of the coun try. But whe n their opera- tions get out of hand, they may become very dangerous. In 1929, the security exchanges, or stock market , contributed to a crash a sudde n , sharp decli ne in the value of securities . Many people lost fortunes ,many corporati ons were ban krupte

51、d , many workers lost their jobs. The Crash of 1929 has been attributed to many causes ,among them wild and unwise speculation by man ypeople and dish on est practices on the part of some bus in essme n and of some members of the excha nges. Today , however , investing through security exchanges and

52、 trading on commodity excha nges has bee n made safer by regulati ons set up by the excha nges themselves and by regulations of the United States government. In 1922, the government instituted the CommodityExchange Commission which operated through the Department of Agriculture , and in 1934 , the S

53、ecurities and Excha nges Commissi on , to protect inv estors and the public aga inst dish on est practices on the excha nges . 37.

Write pour an swers on the An swer Sheet . Hun ti ng was orig in ally a mean sof provid ing food, but it has no wbecomea sport. Though i

57、n some parts of the world there are still people who hunt wild ani mals to provide themselves with food, in En gla nd, hun ti ng is as much a social activity as anything else. A great many years ago, fishermen in Japan used birds to catch fish . This art of fishing is said to be at least a thousand

58、years old and is mentioned in Japanese plays. Today , however , fish ing in this way has simply become a sport ,or the fishermen are not seriously interested in catching fish . On summer ni ghts the fish ing boats set out on rivers in various parts of the country. At the front of each boat there is

59、an iron basket in which a wood fire kept burning. As the graceful curved boats float past carried along by the current , these fires, dotted here and there, make bright patter ns on the water. Steeri ng down the river, the fishermen beat the sides of the boat to encourage the birds, and people out f

This method of fishing demandsgreat skill, for the fisherman has to handle three or four birds in one hand. A long piece of strin
