32、30.00)7.Section III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)_8.Part ADirections: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1._Technology has been an encouragement of historical change. It acted as such a force in England b

33、eginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth. Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods, which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes was that other forms of energy have taken the place of

34、human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufacture products in less time. People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail was exactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. This means

35、that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks. Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. Instead , they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own

36、 parts in certain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by todays standards. Highly skilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production allowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand. B

37、ut the skilled worker wasnt the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forced farmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing i

38、ndustrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.（

40、of machines to make products in less time.D.The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.(2).The underlined word “this“ in the first paragraph refers to_.（分数：2.00）A.the use of scientific findingsB.the practice of producing the same parts for a productC.the human power being replaced by o

41、ther forms of energyD.the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change(3).The underlined word “this“ in the second paragraph refers to the change that_.（分数：2.00）A.each nail could be taken the place of by every other nailB.each nail was exactly like every other nailC.producing tasks bec

42、ame smaller and smallerD.goods could be mass produced(4).According to the writer, highly skilled workers_.（分数：2.00）A.completely disappeared with the coming of the factory systemB.were dismissed by the bossC.were unable to produce goods of high standardD.were unable to produce fine goods at that same

44、 to use the machines.“We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it.“ Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of al

45、l American high schools owned one or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all stu

46、dents become “computer-literate“. By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print-illiterate today. What is “computer literacy“? The term itself seems to imply

47、some degree of “knowing“ about computers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate. Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what
