41、根据以下资料，回答41-60问题： Since the dawn of human ingenuity，people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous，boring，burdensome，or just plain nasty．That compulsion has resulted in robotics—the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines．And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction，they have begun to come close． As a result，the modem world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor．Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms．Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank US with mechanical politeness for the transaction．Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robotdrivers．And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micromechanics，there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracyfar greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone． But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility，they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves—goals that pose a real challenge．“While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error，”says Dave La—very，manager of a robotics program at NASA，“we can’t yet give a robot enough ‘common sense’ to reliably interact with a dynamic world．” Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results．Despite a spell of initial optimism in the l960S and l970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microproces—sors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010，researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries． What they found，in attempting to model thought，is that the human brain g roughly one hun—dred billion nerve cells are much more talented—and human perception far more complicated—than previously．imagined．They have built robots that Can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a．millimeter in a controlled factory environment．But the human mind can glimpse a rap—idly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant，instantaneously fo-cusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd．The most advanced computer systems on Earth cam approach that kind of ability，and neu-roscientists still don t know quite how we do it．
Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in——．A．the use of machines to produce science fictionB．the wide use of machines in manufacturing industryC．the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous workD．the elite g cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work
42、 The word“ gizmos”(Line l，Paragraph 2)most probably means“——”． A．programs B．expelsC．devices D．creatures

44、 Besides reducing human labor，robots can also——． A．make a few decisions for themselvesB．deal with some errors with human interventionC．improve factory environmentsD．cultivate human creativity
45、 The author uses the example of a monkey to argue that robots are——． A．expected to copy human brain in internal structureB．able to perceive abnormalities immediatelyC．far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant informationD．best used in a controlled environment
46、根据以下资料，回答46-65题： Education is primarily the responsibility of the states．State constitutions set up certain standards and rules for the establishment of school. State laws require children to go to school until they reach a certain age．The actual control of the schools，however，is usually a local matter． The control of the schools does not usually come directly from the local government．In each of the three types of city government．public schools are generally quite separate and independent． They cooperate with local officials but are not dominated by the municipal government．Most A—mericans believe that schools should be free of political pressures．They believe that the separate control of the school systems preserves such freedom． Public schools are usually maintained by school districts．The state often sets the district boundaries．Sometimes the school district has the same boundaries as the city．Sometimes it is lar-ger than the city． In the South．county boards of education members are elected．In some places they are ap—pointed by the mayor or city council．The state legislature decides which method should be used． Most district boards of education try to give all pupils a chance to get a good education．A good education prepares a person to live a better life．It helps him to become a better citizen. Nearly all states give financial aid to local school districts．State departments of education offer other kinds of aid．States offer help with such things as program planning and the school districts． The federal government also helps．The National Defense Education Act allows school districts to get financial aid for certain purposes．The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of l965 added many other kinds of financial help．But neither the state nor the federal government dictates school policy．This is determined by local school boards．
Which of the following 1aw is related to education?A．The National Defense Education Act．B．The Elementary and Secondary Education Act．C．The Independence Act．D．Both A and B．
47、 How did the state control education?A．By setting up certain standard and rules．B．By requesting the children to go to schools until they are of certain age．C．Either A or B．D．Both A and B．
48、 How did they preserve the freedom of the schools from political pressure?A．By uniting all the schools into a union．B．By having the federal administration．C．By having separate and independent control．D．By cooperating with the state government．
49、 People favor the independence of school for the reason that——． A．people believe that it will ensure the existence of freedomB．people believe that it will deprive the school of the financial aidC．local government can rid itself from the financial burdenD．state government is not willing to exert its effort on it
50、 The school district is likely to be all of the following EXCEPT——． A．larger than city districtB．larger than the state districtC．the same as the city districtD．Both A and C51、根据以下资料，回答51-70题： Karen Rusa was a 30-year-old woman and the mother of four children．For the past several months Karen had been experiencing repetitive thoughts that centered around her children’s safety．She frequently found herself imagining that a serious accident had occurred；she was unable to put these thoughts out of her mind．On one such occasion she imagined that her son，Alan，had broken his leg playing football at school．There was no reason to believe that an accident had occurred，but she kept thinking about the possibility until she finally called the school to see if Alan was all right．Even after receiving their assurance that he had not been hurt，she described herself as being somewhat surprised when he later arrived home unharmed。Karen also noted that her daily routine was seriously hampered by an extensive series of counting work that she performed throughout each day．Specific numbers had come to have a special meaning to her；she found that her ;she preoccupa-tion with these numbers was hampering her ability to perform everyday activities． One example was grocery shopping．Karen believed that if she selected the first item on the shelf，something terrible would happen to her oldest child．If she selected the second item，some unknown disaster would fall on her second child．and so on for the four children．Karen’s preoccupation with numbers ex—tended to other activities，most notable the pattern in which she smoked cigarettes and drank cof-fee．If she had one cigarette；she believed that she had to smoke at least four in a row，or one of her children would be harmed in some way．If she drank one cup of coffee，she felt compelled to drink four．Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules，but，nevertheless，maintained that she felt more comfortable．When she observed them earnestly．when she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules，she experienced considerable anxiety，in the formof a sub—jective feeling of dread and fear．She described herself as tense，uneasy，and unable to relax during these periods．The occurrence of rarely minor accidents does not reduce her belief that she had been directly responsible because of her inability to observe the rules about number．
The main idea of this passage is to_____． A．describe a woman who suffered from a psychological diseaseB．warn the readers against any imaginationC．explain the reason why Karen had such fanciful thoughtsD．present a case for the readers to study
52、 Which of the following statements，if true，could most probably cure Karen of the illness?A．Her children were all right．B．She had a job having little to do with numbers．C．She went to a psychoanalyst．D．She gave up smoking and drinking coffee．
53、 What does the underlined word preoccupation mean?A．The first right to occupy somethin9．B．The first impression．C．The extreme focus of attention．D．The question．
54、 Which of the following inferences is most probably NOT true according to the passage?A．When Karen was in a great hurry to smoke，she would feel much anxiety．B．If she selected the fourth item on the shelf in a group，the fourth child must expert—ence some unknown disaster．C．Drinking four cups of coffee would make Karen more comfortable than drinking two cups．D．Karen was a mother of four sons．
55、 The author cited the example of the grocery shopping to_____． A．demonstrate her children’s safety was closely related to the item she selected in the storeB．account for Karen’s inability to perform everyday activitiesC．show how specific numbers were related to the safety of her childrenD．further explain that Karen was suffering from a psychological illness

根据以下资料，回答56-75题： Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths．At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems；to read，writeand compute at certain levels；and to resolve abstract equations quickly．This vision of intelli—gence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment．It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results．We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges，who is very good at some form of school discipline is “intelligent”．Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates．A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective，happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day． If you are happy，if you live each moment for everything it’s worth，then you are an intelli—gent person．Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness，but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself，or at a mini—mum refuse to choose unhappiness，then you are intelligent．You are intelligent because you have the ultimate Weapon against the big N．B．D．一Nervous Break Down． “Intelligent” people do not have N．B．D． It’s because they are in charge of themselves．They know how to choose happiness over depression，because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives． You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances．The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us．Every—one who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties．Disagreements，conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human．Similarly，money，growing old，sickness，deaths，natural disasters and accidents are all events，which present problems to virtually all human beings．But some people are able to make it，to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences，while others collapse or have an N．B．D．Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don’t measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know：also, the most rare．

61、根据以下资料，回答61-65题： Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2． During the traditional wedding ceremony，the bride and the bridegroom promise each other lifelong devotion．Yet，about one out of four American marriages ends in divorce. 61)Since 1940, the divorce rate has more than doubled, and experts predict that, of all marriages that occurred in the 1970s,about 50％will end in divorce．The U．S．A. has one of the highest divorce rates in the world，perhaps even the highest． What goes wrong?62)The fact that divorce is so common in the United States does not mean that Americans—consider marriage a casual, unimportant relationship．Just the opposite is true. Americans expect a great deal from marriage．They seek physical，emotional，and intellectual com—patibility．They want to be deeply loved and understood．It is because Americans expect so much from marriage that so many get divorced．They prefer no marriage at all to a manage without love and understanding．With typical American optimism，they end one marriage in hope that the next will be happier． With no-fault divorce laws in many states，it is easier than ever to get a divorce.63)Some American women stay in unhappy marriages because they don't have the education or job experience to support themselves and their children ,but most American women believe that, if necessary，they can make it alone without a husband. All things considered, Americans have little reason to continue an unhappy marriage． Which marriages are most likely to end in divorce? Marriages between people with low in—comes or limited education and marriages between teenagers are at greatest risk. The number of di-vorces between couples with children under the age of l8 is declining，and almost 45％ of divor-cing couples are childless． 64)When a couple gets divorced, the court may require the man to pay his former wire a monthly sum of money, which depends on the husband's income, the wife's needs, and the length of the marriage．If the woman is working and earns a good salary，she may receive no mon-ey at all．Occasionally．the court decides that a woman should pay her husband money．About 10％of American women outearn their husbands．65)If the woman has totally supported her hus-band during the marriage, the court may decide that she must continue to support him after the di-vorce, which is a rather new concept in the United States．
