This pollution quickly spread and within days it was hanging over neighboring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous. Da

9、ngerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People wheezed (喘息) and coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot (烟灰) covered everything. In some areas,

10、 water was hosed (用胶管浇) from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.Finally, heavy rains, which came in November. Put out the fires and clear the air. But the environmental costs and health problems will remain. Many people from South-Eastern Asian cities already suffer from breathing

11、 huge amounts of car exhaust fumes and factory pollution Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In lowland forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.But smog is not just

12、 an Asian problem. In fact .was world was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Fog often hung over the capital.

17、r Space StationThe Russian Mir Space Station, which came down in 2001 at last after 15 years of pioneering the concept of long-term human space flight, is remembered for its accomplishments in the human space flight history. It can be credited with many firsts in space.During Mirs lifetime, Russia s

18、pent about USS 4.2 billion to build and maintain the station.The Soviet Union launched Mir, which was designed to last from three to five years, on February 20, 1986, and housed 104 astronauts over 12 years and seven months, most of whorh were not Russian. In fact, it became the first international

19、space station by playing host to 62 people from 11 countries. From 1995 through 1998, seven astronauts from the United States took turns living on Mir for up to six months each. They were among the 37 Americans who visited the station during nine stopovers by space shuttles.The more than 400 million

20、 the United States provided Russian for the visits not only kept Mir operating, but also gave the Americans and their partners in the international station project valuable experience in long-term flight and multinational operations.A debate continues over Mirs contributions to science. During its e

21、xistence, Mir was the laboratory for 23,000 experiments and carded scientific equipment, estimated to be worth $ 80 million, from many nations. Experiments on Mir are credited with a range of findings, from the first solid measurement of the ration of heavy helium atoms in space to how to grow wheat

22、 in space. But for those favoring human space exploration, Mir showed that people could live and work in spacelong enough for a trip to Mars. The longest single stay in space is the 437.7 days that Russian astronaut Valery Polyakov spent on Mir from 1994 to 1995. And Sergie Avdeyev accumulated 747.6

23、 days in space in three trips to the space station. The longest American stay was that of Shannon Lucid, who spent 188 days aboard Mir in 1996.Despite the many firsts Mir accomplished, 1997 was a bad year out of 15 for Mir. In 1997, an oxygen generator caught fire. Later, the main computer system br

24、oke down, causing the station to drift several times and there were power failures.Most of these problems were repaired, with American help and suppliers, but Mirs reputation as a space station was mined.Mirs setbacks are nothing, though, when we compare them with its accomplishments. Mir was a trem

25、endous success, which will be remembered as a milestone in space exploration and the space station that showed long4erm human habitation in space was possible. But its time to move on to the next generation. The International Space Station being built will be better, but it owes a great debt to Mir.

29、s to gain an appreciation for Dahrendorf s assertion that social change exists everywhere. Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spea

30、r or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of

31、the Challenger space shuttle(挑战者号航天飞机) and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went haywire(变得混乱)and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are res

32、ponsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains

33、uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do

34、. There are those who assert that the switch to an informationbased economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why i

35、t was a revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they fre

36、e the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electro

37、nic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.（分数：15.00）(1).A spear or a robot has the quality of technology only when it _.A. is used both

38、as a cultural and a physical objectB. serves different purposes equally wellC. is utilized by manD. can be of use to both man and animal（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl cited by the author serve to show that_.A. if not given close examination, technology could be use

39、d to destroy our worldB. technology is a human creation, so we are responsible for itC. technology usually goes wrong, if not controlled by manD. being a human creation, technology is liable to error（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the author, the introduction of the computer is a revolution mainly

40、 because_.A. the computer has revolutionized the workings of the human mindB. the computer can do the tasks that could only be done by people beforeC. it has helped to switch to an information technologyD. it has a great potential impact on society（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).By using the phrase “the human

41、quality of technology“(Line 5, Para. 2), the author refers to the fact that technology_.A. has a great impact on human lifeB. has some characteristics of human natureC. can replace some aspects of the human mindD. does not exist in the natural world（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The passage is based on the au

42、thors _.A. keen insight into the nature of technologyB. prejudiced criticism of the role of the Industrial RevolutionC. cautious analysis of the replacement of the human mind by computersD. exaggerated description of the negative consequences of technology（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The Ne

43、t Cost of Making a Name for YourselfCompanies are paying up to $10,000 to register a domain name on the Internet even though there is no guarantee that they will get the name they want.The task of registering domains ending in. com, org, .edu and. net is at present contracted out by the US governmen

44、t to the Virginia-based company Network Solutions. The contract runs out this year, and the government wants to bring in a different scheme.But last year, an ad hoc committee of the Internets great and good revealed its own plan. This involved setting up seven new domains, each indicating the kind o

45、f business or organisation using that name. The committee recruited 88 companies around the world to act as registrars for its firm, . shop, . web, . arts, . rec, . info and. nom domains. The US government has still to give the system its blessing, and may yet push ahead with its original scheme. De

46、spite this, the 88 registrars have been taking applications for several months. They are due to start registering names this month with the Internet Council of Registrars, which grew out of the ad hoc committee.To prevent conflicting names from being registered, the council will take one name from e

47、ach registrar in mm before going back for the second name in their queues, and so on. This has led to a flourishing trade, with companies trying to buy a place near the head of the queue. Global Names of Singapore is charging $10,000 to make sure a request for a name is the first one it sends off to

48、 the central database. Other registrars are charging nonrefundable deposits for places at the top of the queue. David Maher, chairman of the Policy Oversight Committee that is helping to set up and oversee the system, says that all registrars are subject to local laws regarding consumer protection a

49、nd competition. But he says that the committee “will not act as an enforcement body in this area./（分数：15.00）(1).The domain .name “. edu“ is operated byA. the US government.B. the company Network Solutions.C.
