19、.which of them beFew Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. They move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where they raise their children to the home where they plan to
20、 live in retirement. With each move they are forever making new friends, who become part of their life at that time. For many of them summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of me
21、eting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but surely the beginning of a friendship is possible. (81) The word “friend“ can be applied to a wide range of friendshipto someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood play
22、mate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant(知己). （分数：10.00）(1).Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except_.（分数：2.00）A.going to collegeB.getting a better jobC.finding a place to live in retirementD.saving money(2).Summer is a special time when many Americans_.（分数：2.0

25、 really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend.D.But surely the beginning of a friendship is possible.Technology is the application of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods
26、 have helped cut down time and expenses while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amoun
27、t of food available to us by means of modern farming machinery and animal-breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via medical technology. Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it wi
28、sely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. (82) The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually into such efforts. S
29、o while we are running out of some scarce resources, we may well find technological substitutes for many of them through our research programs. Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor, capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills or t
30、echniques in machinery, people will start developing new technology to meet these needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the best title for the passage?（
31、分数：2.00）A.The Definition of TechnologyB.Modern TechnologyC.The Application of TechnologyD.The Development of Technology(2).Modern technology provides us with a lot of benefits except_.（分数：2.00）A.more production and a higher standard of livingB.extended life spanC.a better pumping systemD.more food a

34、ople can live a long life with the help of_.（分数：2.00）A.higher quality of lifeB.medical technologyC.modern farming machineryD.technological substituteThe earth is much cooler than the sun, and the wave length of the earths radiations is much longer than that of sunrays. These longer heat waves cannot
35、 pass through the atmosphere as easily as the short waves coming from the sun. Similarly, radio stations that transmit programs to distant countries broadcast in short waves, which can travel all around the world. Stations that broadcast local programs send out longer waves, which can be received mo
36、re easily, but only in a limited area. (83) Heat waves, rising from the earth, meet resistance in the atmosphere from the water vapor there. Many if the waves are stopped by the water vapor can not get back out into space. The atmosphere, when it is warmed up, also adds some heat back to the earths
37、surface. When the suns rays strike water surface, some of the water becomes absorbed by the air as water vapor. The warmer the air is, the more vapor it can hold. When the air has absorbed its maximum amount of vapor, it is said to be saturated. If the air is then cooled, some of the vapor will cond
38、ense and clouds will form. (84) These clouds, will contain drops of water at temperatures above freezing, or ice crystals at temperatures below freezing. Clouds can greatly affect the temperature of the earths surface. When there are many clouds in the sky, all of the suns rays can not reach the ear
39、th. The cloudy day, then, will be cooler than the cloudless day. Clouds also prevent the earth from cooling off rapidly at night. For this reason, countries such as the British Isles, which are often covered by clouds, have a relatively constant temperature. The weather in these cloudy areas is neit
40、her very hot in summer nor very cold in winter. On the other hand, places such as deserts, which have few or no clouds, have very sharp variations in temperaturebetween night and day as well as between summer and winter.（分数：10.00）(1).Radio stations that transmit programs to distant countries send ou
41、t waves that resemble_.（分数：2.00）A.heat waves rising from the earthB.waves absorbed by water vaporC.waves sent out by radio stations that transmit local programsD.the rays sent out from the sun(2).Air can hold more water vapor_.（分数：2.00）A.when it is warmB.when it is coolC.in summerD.in winter(3).The
42、suns rays are absorbed by_.（分数：2.00）A.cloudsB.the heat waves in the atmosphereC.the surface of the earthD.water vapor(4).When there are clouds, days tend to be_.（分数：2.00）A.warmer than when it is clearB.cooler than when it is clearC.the same as when it is clearD.the same as nights(5).If a country has
43、 a relatively constant temperature, it would probably be_.（分数：2.00）A.in a mountainous regionB.frequently cloudyC.having as many sunny days as cloudy daysD.one in which there is no winterEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of
44、 educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue wit
45、h ones old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not. (85) In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that, by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupidone can solve all the problems of society and build a p
46、erfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find it in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think “low“ work; and, in fact, work with th
47、e hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than the work of a professorwe can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. In fact, when we say th
48、at all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones
49、work, or to scorn someone elses. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.（分数：10.00）(1).The first sentence of this passage means that_.（分数：2.00）A.education is not the purpose of lifeB.education is a way of lifeC.education is to make people suitable for lifeD.education is not fit for
