Part 7. Reading Comprehension

Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.

During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to appear at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. If a hurrying passenger pressed the fare into your hand as he leapt out of the back door, it was wise to tear a ticket and throw it out after him. There might be a plain-clothes inspector following in an unmarked car. I lasted about three weeks all told. The routes through town were more

than the mind could stand even in the off-peak hours. All the buses from our station and every other station would be crawling nose to tail through the town while the entire working population of Sydney fought to get aboard. It was hot that summer: 100°Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the

bus it was 30°hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren’t

touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares. At each stop it was all I could do to reach the bell-push that signalled the driver to close the automatic doors and get going. I had no way of telling whether anybody had managed to get on or off. My one object was to get that bus up Pitt Street.

In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors puffed (张开) closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I

realized that they were emanating (来自) from within the bus. The back set of automatic doors had closed around an old lady’s neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.

When I at last cottoned on to the fact that something untoward was happening and signalled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and

opened the automatic doors, whereupon the woman dropped to the road. She was very nice about it. Perhaps the experience had temporarily dislocated

her mind. Anyway, she apologized to me for causing so much trouble.

Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had been thrown off the buses for half-executing a woman of advanced years, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly. Once again this failed to coincide with

(同时发生) my own plans in the sense that I had already resigned. In fact, I

had made my decision at about the same time as the old lady hit the ground. (words: 539)

151.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph? A. They found the writer amusing. B. They never wore uniforms. C. They were feared by employees. D. They distrusted older employees.

152.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly? A. He wasn't tall enough. B. The buses were too fast. C. People avoided paying. D. He couldn't move.

153.The old lady in the incident described ________. A. was injured. B. fainted.

C. was dragged.

D. hit her head.

154.When the incident with old lady happened, ________. A. the writer had already decided to give up the job B. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicity C. the writer was offered the chance to continue D. the consequences were as the writer expected

155.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?

A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.

B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors. C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.

D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.

Since the dawn of human ingenuity (独创性), people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion (强制) has resulted in robotics — the

science of conferring (商议) various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction,

they have begun to come close.

As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent

gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum (忙碌) to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization (小型化) of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy — far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.

But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves—goals that pose a real challenge. \ Lavery, manager of a robotics program at NASA, \ enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world.\

Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed

results. Despite a spell of initial optimism (乐观主义) in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor (晶体管) circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010,

researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.

What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented — and human perception far more complicated — than previously imagined. They have built robots that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment. But the human mind

can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard (忽视) the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously (瞬间地) focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a

big crowd. The most advanced computer systems on Earth can't approach that kind of ability, and scientists still don't know quite how we do it. (words: 420)

156.Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in ________. A. the use of machines to produce science fiction B. the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry C. the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work. D. the clever tackling of dangerous and boring work

157.The word 'gizmos' in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.

158.According to the text, what is beyond man's ability now is to design a robot that can ________ .?

A. fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery B. interact with human beings verbally C. have a little common sense

D. respond independently to a changing world

159.Besides reducing human labor, robots can also ________ .? A. make a few decisions for themselves B. deal with some errors from human hands C. improve factory environments D. cultivate human creativity

160.The author uses the example of a monkey to argue that robots are ________.

A. expected to copy human brain in internal structure B. able to perceive abnormalities immediately

C. far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant information D. best used in a controlled environment A. programs B. experts C. devices D. creatures

Part 8. Short Answer Questions

Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and give brief answers to the questions.

It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is

really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don't, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits. The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating (启示性的) piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering (困惑) seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that

represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect (智力). In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.

But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can't be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can't think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if

we keep at it long enough, and pay attention. (words: 377)

161.The author believes that really good science is unable to __________________. 162.How would the scientists of the 18th century feel when they were told we are really ignorant about nature?

163.What is implied in the passage about the view of the scientists of the 18th century on science?

164.What contributes most to the human intellect in the 20th century according to author?

165.Why does the author think there ought to be some satisfaction?

In a television interview, Mr. Daniel Brummage, President of the

International Olympics Committee, is defending his Committee's decision to hold the Games again in four year's time. \ Games began in 1896, they've had their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat. My Committee and I intend to see that they go on doing this.

The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could be more harmfully employed. In my opinion, it does a lot of good, getting people to forget their differences in a communal (公共的) activity. Any competitor or spectator (观众) at the Games or in the Olympic Village will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable: as if the world were one big family. And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate, only exist in a few quarters. What we suffer from is bad publicity, not bad sportsmanship.

These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the

world. Not only do they bring sportsmen together, but they unite a world public. Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing then? Of course, a

few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda (宣传), but this is no reason why the Games should be canceled. Why should every harmless activity be spoiled for the majority by the minority?

No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, sir, not politics, and I intend that it should remain so.\(words: 289)

166.What was the purpose of Mr. Daniel Brummage's speech?

167.When did the modern Olympic Games begin?

168.What is the aim of the Olympic Committee in holding the Games?

169.What does Mr. Daniel Brummage criticize in his speech?

170.Why should the Games continue according to Mr. Daniel Brummage?
