19、 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 meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation tr

24、ip is possible.45 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 have helped cut down time and expenses while increasing overall output. This has meant more pr

25、oduction 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 amount of food available to us by means of modern farming machinery and animal-breeding techniques,

26、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 wisely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely

27、yes. 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. So while we are running out of some scarce resources, we may well find technological substitutes for m

28、any 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 techniques in machinery, people will start developing new technology to meet these needs. As equipment pr

29、oves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.46 What is the best title for the passage?_.（A）The Definition of Technology（B） Modern Technology（C） The Application of Technology（D）The Development of Technol

30、ogy47 Modern technology provides us with a lot of benefits except_.（A）more production and a higher standard of living（B） extended life span（C） a better pumping system（D）more food available48 From the passage, we can infer that this article is probably_.（A）a part of the introduction to American busin

32、influenced by technology.（C） Technology is the response to our needs.（D）The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology.50 According to the passage, people can live a long life with the help of_.（A）higher quality of life（B） medical technology（C） modern farming machinery（D）technol

33、ogical substitute50 The earth is much cooler than the sun, and the wave length of the earth s radiations is much longer than that of sunrays. These longer heat waves cannot pass through the atmosphere as easily as the short waves coming from the sun. Similarly, radio stations that transmit programs

34、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 more easily, but only in a limited area.Heat waves, rising from the earth, meet resistance in the atmosphere from the water vapor

35、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 earth s surface.When the sun s rays strike water surface, some of the water becomes absorbed by the air as water vapor. The warmer the air is

36、, 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 condense and clouds will form. These clouds will contain drops of water at temperatures above freezing, or ice crystals at temperatures b

37、elow freezing.Clouds can greatly affect the temperature of the earth s surface. When there are many clouds in the sky, all of the sun s rays can not reach the earth. The cloudy day, then, will be cooler than the cloudless day. Clouds also prevent the earth from cooling off rapidly at night. For this

38、 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 neither 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 va

39、riations in temperaturebetween night and day as well as between summer and winter.51 Radio stations that transmit programs to distant countries send out waves that resemble_.（A）heat waves rising from the earth（B） waves absorbed by water vapor（C） waves sent out by radio stations that transmit local p

40、rograms（D）the rays sent out from the sun52 Air can hold more water vapor_.（A）when it is warm（B） when it is cool（C） in summer（D）in winter53 The sun s rays are absorbed by_.（A）clouds（B） the heat waves in the atmosphere（C） the surface of the earth（D）water vapor54 When there are clouds, days tend to be_

41、.（A）warmer than when it is clear（B） cooler than when it is clear（C） the same as when it is clear（D）the same as nights55 If a country has a relatively constant temperature, it would probably be _.（A）in a mountainous region（B） frequently cloudy（C） having as many sunny days as cloudy days（D）one in whic

42、h there is no winter55 Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of 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

43、 which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with one s old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to

44、 think that, by free education for allwhether rich or poor, clever or stupidone can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect 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 t

45、here are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think“low“ work; and, in fact, work with the 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

46、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 that 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 ab

47、ility and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one s work, or to scorn someone else s. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.56 The first sentence of this passage means that_.（A）education is not the

48、purpose of life（B） education is a way of life（C） education is to make people suitable for life（D）education is not fit for children57 Free education for all is not enough, because_.（A）it can not solve all the problems of society（B） there are not enough jobs for those who have degrees（C） degrees are useless（D）people with degrees are ashamed of their jobs58 The writer of this passage thinks that_.（A）work with hands is dirty（B） food is more important than education（C） education is not necessary for some people（D）it is better to be a completely uneducated farmer59 We must be educated in
