TEXT A
In the case of mobile phones, change is everything.
Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our
culture, but our very bodies as well.
First. Let’s talk about culture. The
difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you
get whoever answers it.
This has several implications. The most common one,
however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the
“meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and
where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in
advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of
work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on
the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “text me around 8 and we’ll
see where we all are”.
Texting changes people as well. In their paper,
“insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”, two
British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the
“talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text message and those who
prefer text to voice.
They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and
privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.
Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were
to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a
self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them
well.
Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to
body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone.
There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way,
chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves
and keep out other people.
Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled
or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people’s privacy. So, it is
understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry
so much. After all, it is good to talk.
81 when people plan to meet nowadays, they
A: arrange the meeting place
beforehand
B. postpone fixing the place till last minute
C: seldom care
about when and where to meet
D: still love to work out detailed meeting
plans.
82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological
effect are mostly likely to be seen on
A: TALKERS
B; the
"speakeasy"
c. the “spacemaker”
D. texters
83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are
A:
quite revealing
B: well written
c: unacceptable by others
d; shocking
to others
84 according to the passage ,who is afraid of being heard while talking on
the mobile
a: talkers
b: the speakeasy
c :the spacemaker
d: texters
85 an appropriate title for the passage might be
A: the SMS effect
b:
cultural implication of mobile use
c: change in the use of the mobile
d:
body language and the mobile phone!
TEXT B
Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or
at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed,
particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a
person is “working-class” or “middle-class”
-are one area in which changes
have been extremely slow.
In the past, the working-class tended to be paid
less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this
and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure,
distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The
typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was
widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and
squander the rest on beer and betting.
The stereotype of what a middle-class
man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is –
inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of
these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did
workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such
long-term plans.
Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of
cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class
supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less
necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem
slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact
there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes
to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
The changes in both life-styles
and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They
generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend
their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans
when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious
generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid
(whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap
exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies
will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between
different groups.
86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class
differences in the past?
A: life style and occupation
B: Attitude and
income
C: income and job security
D: job security and hobbies
87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of ------- is closer to
truth?
A: middle –class ways of spending money
B: working-class ways of
spending the weekend
C: working-class drinking habits
D: middle-class
attitudes
88 according to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature
of the middle -class?
A: desiring for security
B: Making long term plans
C: having priorities in life
D: saving money
89 working -class people"s sense of security increased as a resulf of all the
follwoing factor except?
A:better social security
B: more job
opportunities
C: higher living standard
D: better legal protection.
90.
which of the following statement is incorrect?
A:Changes are slowly
taking place in all sectors of the British society.
B:The gap between working
-class and middle- class young people is narrowing
C: different in income
will remain but those in occupation will disappear
D: middle-class people may
sometimes feel inferior to working-class people!
TEXT C
For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning
he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the
neighourhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was
well enough, he rode out a great deal.
During this time, all my knowledge of
him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes
pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not
offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One
evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after
dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much
less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably
with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “do you
think I’m handsome, Miss Eyre?”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue
before I realized it: ‘No, sir.”
“ah, you really are unusual! You are a
quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”
“Sir, I’m sorry. I
should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that,”
“no,
you shouldn’t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the
back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But
perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awaful faults to counterbalance your few
good points
I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my
mind, and said quickly,” yes, you’re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the
wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I
might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps
wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t
my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this?
Because you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,
because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”
It seemed he had quite a lot
to talk to me. He didn’t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the
case for the first time.
“Don’t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “
you don’t relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school
has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and
speak freely. You’re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you’ll
fly very high. Good night.”
91:at the beginning miss Eyre "s impressions of Mr.Rochester were all except
A: busy
B:sociable
C: friendly
D: changeable
92, in "....and all my knowledge him was limited to occasional meetings about
the house,…”.the word about
means
A:around
B:on
C:outside
D:concerning.
93. why did Mr.Rochester say" ..and the you stab me in the back!" the
(7thpara.
A: because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife
B:
because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C: because Jane had regretted
having talked to him
D:because Jane had said something else to correct
herself.
94, from what Mr.Rochest told miss Eyre,we can conclude that he wanted to
A: Tell her all his troubles
B: tell her his life experience.
C:change
her opinion of him
D change his circumstances
95, at the end of the passage , Mr. Rochester sounded
A:rude
B: cold
C: friendly
D: encouraging.
TEXTD
The ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look,
feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant
manner. Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine
would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first
encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it
would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a
passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and
opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the
topic and would have a personality of its own.
Friendships are not made in a
day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the
gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an
appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates
attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way
to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to
produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed
friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as
far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.
An
artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that
could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the
user’s life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and
good-humored. The computer’s own personality would be lively and impressive, and
it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these,
the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.
96.
which of the following is not a feature of the ideal companion
machine?
A:Active in communication
B: Attractive in personality.
C:
enjoyable in performance
D: unpredictable in behaviour
97. the computer would develop friendships with humans in a (n)
---------way.
A: Quick
B: unpredictable
C: productive
D:
inconspicuous.
98.
which of the following aspects is not mentioned when the passage
discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?
A:Being able to pick up
an interesting conversation.
B: Being sensitive to earlier contact.
C:
Being ready to learn about the person"s life
D:Having a pleasant and
adaptable personality.
99
throughout the passage,the author is _____in his attitude toward the
computer
A:favourable
B:critical
C: vague
D: hesitant
100. which mgiht be the most appropriate title of the passage?
A:Articial
relationshios .
B: How to form intimate relationships
C:The affectionate
machine
D: Humans and computers
