  • 第2题:

    B

    In the 1500s,the camera was invented.

    However,in the early 1800s people found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then,photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by photographers.People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the films were too difficult.In 1884 ,George Eastman invented a kind of film.lt could be put into a small camera. The new film was easy to use. So many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their films people returned their cameras to the factory. There,the films were developed,and pictures were made. More films were put into the cameras. And they were sent back to the owners with their pictures.

    Today's cameras are much easier to use. Photography has become a hot hobby, There are also many new jobs in this field,especially in news reporting. Newspapers,magazines,and tele-vision all need pictures to tell stories, Photographers help scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals. Astro-nauts take their cameras into space. Man finds new uses of the camera every day.

    ( )26. When did people find a way to make the pictures permanent?

    A. In the 1500s.

    B. In the 1600s.

    C. In the 1700s.

    The Law to Keep the Oil Industry under Control
    The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline;production limits have been laid down(though these have already been
    raised);and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers.But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems,and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long.As on Norwegian politician said last week:“We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”
    Ever since the war,the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic
    Circle.During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success:Tromso has been built up into a local
    capital with a university,a large hospital and a healthy industry.But the oil industry has already started to draw people south,
    and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
    The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north,however.With nearly 100 percent employment,everyone
    can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil
    industry.Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The
    real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life.Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population,but they are an important part of it,because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as
    essentially Norwegian.And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage
    that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.

    The Norwegian Government has tried to ______.

    A.encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.
    B.prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway.
    C.help the oil companies solve many of their problems.
    D.keep the oil industry to something near its present size.

    The American Industry

    A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the world's best,its workers the most skilled.America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed.
    It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominance proved painful.By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics,had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none:Zenith was bought by South Korea's LG Electronics in July.)Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors,which America had which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.
    All of this caused a crisis of confidence.Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted.They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline.Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.
    How things have changed!In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride."American industry has changed its structure,has gone on a diet,has learnt to be more quick-witted,"according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government,"It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity,"says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute,a think-tank in Washington,DC.And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as"a golden age of business management in the United States."

    What does"the American industry has gone on a diet"mean?
    A:Employees in the American industry are on a diet.
    B:The American industry has reduced redundant staff.
    C:The American industry has shrunk.
    D:The American industry has been made more efficient.

    答案:B
    解析:
    第一段指出,“第二次世界大战后,美国就进入了这样的一个辉煌的历史时期。它拥有比任何竞争者大八倍的市场,这使其工业经济规模前所未有。它的科学家是世上最优秀的,它的工人是技术最好的。美国及其民众的富庶是那些经济遭到战争破坏的欧洲人和亚洲人连做梦也不敢想的”。因此利用排除法,确定答案是C。
    A选项错误,因为第二段中说“到1987年,美国只剩下Zenith这一家电视生产商(现在这一家也没有了:Zenith于7月被韩国LG电子公司收购)。”说明它连国内市场也保不住了。B选项错误,文中第二段最后一句提到,“有一段时间,下一个栖牲品看起来似乎该轮到美国的半导体制造业了……”,可是事实上没有。C选项中谈到的机床业已经自取灭亡的说法错误,因为文中提到机床制造业“岌岌可危”(on the ropes),但是还没有灭亡。D选项是合适的,因为第二段第六句提到,“进口车和纺织品横扫国内市场”。
    第三段提到,“所有这一切导致了信心危机。美国人不再视繁荣为理所当然之事。他们开始怀疑自己的商业经营方式出了问题,也怀疑不久他们的收入就会下降。20 世纪80年代中期人们对美国工业衰退的原因作了一次又一次的调查。那些有时耸人听闻的结果充斥着海外竞争加剧的预警”。第四段提到了90年代的经济复苏。其中的含义是:在竞争的压力下,美国人在80年代调整产业结构,美国的工业已经改变了结构,消除了滞胀,变得更机智,因此带来了90年代的经济复苏。因此,可以得出推论:激烈的竞争会导致经济的发展。另外三个选项都不合适。
    在第四段,作者指出,"1995年,美国可以对过去五年的稳步发展作一回顾,而日本还在奋力挣扎。很少有美国人将这一巨变单纯归因于美元贬值或商业周期循环这些显而易见的原因。如今,对自身的怀疑已被盲目乐观所取代”。这里作者实际上对当前美国人的盲目乐观情绪进行了批评,认为20世纪90年代的增长是由美元贬值或经济周期的转机等因素造成的。选项B是“Richard Cavanagh”的看法。选项C是“Stephen Moore”的看法。选项D文中没有提及。
    本题考查的是细节部分理解能力。原文是指美国工业在20世界90年代通过消除机构臃肿得到发展。选项A明显不正确。选项B是最接近原文意思的,指“美国工厂裁减多余的员工,精简机构”。选项C指“美国工业衰减”,不符合题意。选项D只是概括地说“美国工业效率提高”,并没有具体指出原因。因此本题选B。

    答案:D
    解析:
    第一段,挪威政府设定了一项新的法律以限制石油的勘探,其目的在于减缓发展的步伐,所以选B。
    政府设定“production limits(产量限制)”的初衷在于使石油工业保持现有的发展水平,而不想扩展。
    第二段开头提到政府在第二次世界大战后一直在实施北极圈北部地区的发展项目,尽管取得了成效,但是石油工业的高就业率吸引着人们,这将导致北部发展项目的失败。
    第三段指出,服务业和旅游业的从业人员转向石油行业,其影响之一便是一些现有行业的消失。
    挪威的农民和渔夫之所以重要,原因在于他们身上具有挪威人引以为自豪的品质,即他们的生活方式和价值观,因此选项D正确。

    正确答案: B
    解析:
    考查动词的时态。C选项中的固定句型:“It’s/ It has been+一段时间+since+时间状语从句”,译作“自从……以来,已经……(时间)了”。要求:主句的谓语动词用一般现在时或现在完成时;从句的谓语动词用一般过去时,而且须是终止性动词。所以C选项中since后面的过去完成时应改为一般过去时。
