二、阅读理解(11-30)

Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated( 自动化的) production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.

On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing ( 交换) system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.

When a form introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) while other staff are w-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. After the new system has settled down, people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the frim, resulting from the introduction of computers.

The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.

On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable.They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1954, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long ran.

A.the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introduction

Some psychologists(心理老师) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performedin the brain alone, but that one' s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with ourmuscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.

You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears butwith your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically,some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted todirect the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all pos-sible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener"feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same

way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.

16.Some psychologists think that thinking is__________

A.not a mental process

B.more of a physical process than a mental action

C.a process that involves our entire bodies

D.a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain

答案：D

A.both are mental acts

B.muscles participate in both processes

C.both processes are performed by the entire body

D.we derive equal enjoyment from them

答案：B

18.Few people are able to listen to familiar music without__________

A.moving some part of their body

B.stopping what they are doing to listen

C.directing the orchestra playing it

D.wishing that they could conduct music properly

答案：A

19.The listener' s way of "feeling" the music is__________

A.the unnoticed motion of his muscles

B."participating" in the performance

C.bending an ear to the music

D.being the conductor of the orchestra

答案：B

20.According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is__________

A.Deliberate

B.Apparent

C.indistinct

D.impressive

In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.

Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called "the weaker sex", or, if men want to please them, "the fair sex". But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers .And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women' s bodies really weaker?

The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's speeds are always slower than men' s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first "Tarzan" in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!

21.Women are called "the weaker sex" because __________.

A.women do as much work as men
