24、eople get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do
25、 as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly
26、 what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bo
27、ther to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social
28、 status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but a
29、lso ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck and a bitter person.（分数：10.00）(1).The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _.（分数：2.00）A.have ruined their talentsB.have taken on an unsuitable jobC.think of nothing but their salaryD.are not aware of thei
30、r own potential(2).The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that _.（分数：2.00）A.much competition has to be facedB.many employees have no working experienceC.the young people only care about how much they can earnD.schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance(3).Which
31、of the following statements is most important according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Your job must suit your interest.B.Your job must set a pattern of life.C.Your job must offer you a high salary.D.Your job must not ruin your talents.(4).The best title for this passage would be _.（分数：2.00）A.What Can a
32、Good Job OfferB.Earning a LivingC.Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD.How To Choose a Job(5).The word “pathetic“ in Paragraph 2 most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.splendidB.miserableC.disgustedD.touching八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Adam Smith, a writer in the 1700s,was the first person to see the importance o
33、f the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England. “One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the
34、head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in
35、 others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them “Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a person. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, eac
36、h of them would have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for econom
37、ic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new: it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person t
38、o _.（分数：2.00）A.take advantage of the division of laborB.understand the effects of the division of laborC.explain the causes of the division of laborD.introduce the division of labor into England(2).Adam Smith saw that the division of labor _.（分数：2.00）A.enabled each worker to make pins more quickly a
39、nd more cheaplyB.increased the number of people employed in factoriesC.increased the possible output per workerD.improved the quality of pins produced(3).Adam Smith mentioned the number 4800 in order to _.（分数：2.00）A.show the advantages of the division of laborB.emphasize how powerful the individual
40、worker wasC.show the advantages of the old craft systemD.emphasize the importance of increased production(4).According to the writer, Adam Smiths mistake was in believing that division of labor _.（分数：2.00）A.inevitably led to economic developmentB.was an efficient way of organizing workC.increased th
41、e production of existing goodsD.was an important development in methods of production(5).Which of the following could serve as an appropriate title for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The Theory of Division of Labor.B.Adam Smith as the Discoverer of Division of Labor.C.Adam Smith, the English Economist.D.Div
42、ision of Labor, an Efficient Way of Organizing Work.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Futurists love computers. After all, 40 years ago electronic digital computers didnt exist; today microchips as tiny as a babys fingernail are making all sorts of tasks faster and easier. Surely the future holds still more m
43、iracles.Some of the computer experiments now going on inspire exciting visions of the future. For example, scientists are working on devices that can electronically perform some sight and hearing functions, which could make life easier for the blind and deaf. Theyre also working on artificial arms a
44、nd legs that respond to the electric impulses produced by the human brain. Scientists hope that some day a person whos lost an arm could still have near-normal brain control over an artificial arm.Video games, computerized special effects in movies, and real-life training machines now being used by
45、the US Army are causing some people to predict new educational uses for computers. Computers could some day be used to simulate travel to other planets, to explore the ocean floor, or to look inside an atom.Experiments with electronic banking and shopping inspire predictions that these activities wi
46、ll soon be done from home computer terminals. Cars, too, might be equipped with computers to help drivers find their way around (Honda has one in an experimental car) or to communicate with home and office computers. Many people, including handicapped workers with limited ability to move around, alr
47、eady are working at home using computer terminals. Each terminal is connected to a system at a companys main office. Some futurists say the day may come when few people will have to leave home to go to work theyll just turn on a terminal.A growing number of factories such as the General Motors Plant
48、 in Newark, Delaware, “hire“ computerized robots to perform tasks such as spot welding. Some executives get a gleam in their eyes as they envision the spread of these “perfect workers“ no coffee breaks, no strikes, and no vacations or sick days.These modern and potential computer uses are possible b
49、ecause of the silicon microchip.These chips, which have become increasingly complex since their beginning in 1959, contain a network of information pathways. Electronic impulses travel along the paths. The plans for a chip look much like a city street plan and can be as large as a football field. It can take as long as three months to complete a new chip design. Chips are used to store information, too. An entire “computer“ can be put onto one chip called a microprocessor.As chips become even more complex,
