17、cience and engineering able to do about our current problems?First, we can help destroy the false impression that science and engineering have caused the current world trouble. On the contrary, science and engineering have made vast contributions to better living for more people.Second, we can ident

18、ify the many areas in which science and technology, more con siderably used, can be of great service in the future than in the past to improve the quality of life. While we can make many speeches, and pass many laws, the quality of our envi ronment will be improved only through better knowledge and

19、better application of that knowledge.Third, we can recognize that much of the dissatisfaction we suffer today results from our very successes of former years. We have been so greatly successful in attaining material goals that we are deeply dissatisfied that we cannot attain other goals more rapidly

20、. We have achieved a better life for most people, but we are unhappy that we have not spread it to all people. We have reduced many sources of environmental disasters, but we are unhap py that we have not conquered all of them. It is our raised expectations rather than our fail ures which now cause

21、our distress.Granted that many of our current problems must be cured more by social, political, and economic instruments than science and technology, yet science and technology must still be the tools to make further advances in such things as clean air, clean water, better transportation, better me

22、dical care, more adequate welfare programs, purer food, con servation resources, and many other areas.（分数：5.00）(1).The author thinks that science and technology_.（分数：1.00）A.have caused the current world problemsB.have made life better for more peopleC.will, if not in the past, better peoples life in

27、 watched Kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their win dows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the po lice. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about ones fellow man?“Not so,“ say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyo

28、nd the headlines to probe the reasons why people didnt act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency.Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk, is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma from diabetes? Or is

29、he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes,“ Or is it really smoke from a fire? Its not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel per

30、sonal ly responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person wont get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested. “ Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The r

31、eceptionist started them off on the “tests. “ Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room“ and the room into which she went.Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.Eight out

32、of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of the ten helped. Of the students in group, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, neednt. They do not feel any direct r

33、esponsibility.Are people bothered by situation where people are in trouble? Yes, scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt that other persons trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of thos

34、e they were with.（分数：5.00）(1).The purpose of the passage is_.（分数：1.00）A.to explain why people fail to act in emergenciesB.to explain when people will act in emergenciesC.to explain what people will do in emergenciesD.to explain how people feel in emergencies(2).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数

38、 person must feel guilty if he fails to helpC.people should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesD.when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway3The rise of “temp“ work has further magnified the decreasing rights and alienation of the worker. It is common corporate practice to phase ou

39、t full-time employees and hire tem- porary workers to take on more workload in less time. When facing a pressing deadline, a corporation may pay1520 per hour for a temp worker, but the temp worker will only see7 or8 of that money. The rest goes to temp agency, which is usually a corpo- rate chain, s

40、uch as Kelly Services, that blatantly makes its profits off other peoples labor. This increases profits of the corporations because they can increase a workload, get rid of the employee when theyre finished, and not worry about paying benefits or unemployment for that employee. I have had to work wi

41、th temps a few times in my current position, and the workers only want one thinga full-time job with benefits. We really wanted to hire one temp I was working with, but we could not offer her a full-time job because it would have been a breach in our contract with the temp agency that employed her.

42、To hire a temp full-time, we would have had to pay the agency over a thousand dollars. Through this practice and policy, the temp agency locks its temporary workers into a horrible new form of servitude from which the workers cannot break free.Furthermore, corporate powers push workers to take on bi

43、gger workloads, work lon ger hours, and accept less benefits by instilling a paranoia in their workforce. The capital ist bosses assume dishonesty, disloyalty, and laziness amongst workers, and they breed a sense of guilt and fear through their assumptions. Where guilt doesnt seep in, bitterness, an

44、ger, and depression take over, the highest priorities of Big Business are to increase profits and limit liabilities. Personal relations and human needs are last on their list of pri orities. So what we see is a huge mass of people who are alienated, distempered, over worked, mentally and physically

45、ill and who spend the vast majority of their time and energy on their basic survival. They are denied a chance to really “love,“ because they are forced to make profits for the capitalists in power.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following can NOT be listed as a reason for corporationshiring temporary wor

46、kers and phasing out full-time employees?（分数：1.00）A.Corporations intend to leave more workload to temporary workers.B.Temp workers are generally well-trained and can achieve high efficiency.C.Corporations can reduce their production cost by employing temp workers.D.Corporations can benefit a great d

48、p workers to be employed as full-time workers.(3).The main purpose of the last paragraph is to_.（分数：1.00）A.show how much the capitalist bosses distrust temp workersB.reveal that temp workers are living in miseryC.arouse readers hatred for the capitalistsD.severely criticize the ignorance of the temp

49、 workers(4).The authors attitude toward the temp workers can be described as_.（分数：1.00）A.amicableB.depressedC.sympatheticD.hostile(5).The word “liabilities“ in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_.（分数：1.00）A.risks in hiring temp workersB.duties distributed to workersC.responsibilities shared by temp workersD.considerations offered to temp workers4 Once upon a time, innovation at Procter & Gambl
