第二篇
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。 -

第三篇
Oil Industry in Norway
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 an Norwegian politician said last week:"We will soon be changed beyond all recognition."
Ever since the war,the Government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle.During the past few years this program 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.According to the passage,the oil industry might lead northern Norway to________.
A:the development of industry
B:a growth in population
C:the failure of the development program
D:the development of new towns答案：C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。 -
第3题：
Which one of the following statements about iPhone X’s FaceID is false according to this article？( )A.It is a whole new technique Apple Inc.applied on iPhone X.
B.It has started a revolution in computer-vision industry.
C.It has a problem of revocation.
D.It has embedded security mechanisms to secure the data on the phone.答案：B解析：细节题。根据第一段第三句Apple claims to have conquered many of the challenges that have prevented the widespread use of facial biometrics.及第二段第一句话Apple’s new technology…可知，人脸识别技术确实是苹果用在iPhone X上的一项全新技术，故A项正确；根据第一段最后一句话But a number of computer-vision researchers say they are skeptical that…可知，苹果的该项技术遭到了计算机视觉研究人员的质疑，其并没有在该领域引起一场(新)革命，文中也确实没有相关说明，故B项说法不符合原文；根据最后一段可知，该技术存在撤销问题，故C项正确，根据最后一段倒数第二句Apple touts its ability to secure data…servers.可知，D项正确。故本题选B。参考译文：你的脸就是智能手机安全的未来。苹果公司上周发布价格高昂的iPhone X时明确表示了这一点。苹果公司声称已经克服了许多阻碍面部生物识别技术广泛应用的挑战。但是很多电脑视觉研究员说，他们怀疑像FaceID这种基于智能手机的系统，是否能在诸如灯光变化或人脸部发生细微变化的情况下还能安全又实用，一天之内解锁十几次或更多。苹果的新技术听起来确实很有前景。苹果公司表示，FaceID通过在一个人的脸上投射超过30 000个红外点，然后使用手机的红外真实深度相机和大功率微芯片来收集和分析结果，从而创建一个人的面部“精确深度图”。用户还被要求在扫描时转动头部，这样手机的机器学习算法就可以从几个角度测量人脸，并创建更详细的三维特征图。一旦图谱创建并存储，苹果电脑就会使用红外光帮助FaceID在黑暗中扫描人脸。与此同时，手机上运行的机器学习算法会跟踪用户外貌的变化——包括眼镜、面部毛发和帽子——因此智能手机面部识别的准确性会随着时间的推移得以提高。尽管近年来面部识别技术有所进步，但我们仍不清楚FaceID能否在不同的外界条件下工作的同时，又能保证苹果手机的安全。例如，三月份三星Galaxy S8的面部识别扫描仪推出时，黑客们很快找到了一种绕过它的方法：他们只是简单地用了一张用户照片就唬住了手机。FaceID使用三维面部特征图可以解决这个问题。但是从历史上看，这种系统在不同的光照条件下，从不同的角度识别人脸仍是一个巨大的挑战。密歇根州立大学计算机科学与工程教授阿伦·罗斯说，苹果公司上周在相对可控的条件下展示了FaceID。“很明显，演示非常有趣，”他说，“但与此同时，也提出了一些非同寻常的要求。”例如，苹果公司的席勒说，随机一人用脸解锁别人手机的几率是百万分之一——比触摸识别安全得多。罗斯说，然而，还不清楚FaceID无法识别机主的频率。当被问及关于席勒的评论的问题时，苹果公司拒绝回应。康奈尔理工大学的计算机科学教授维塔利·施马蒂科夫说：“与所有的生物识别技术一样，FaceID在撤销方面也会有问题。”密码被泄露可以更改，但人的面孔无法更改。苹果吹嘘其苹果手机上具有数据保护能力，声称不会与公司的服务器共享生物特征信息。罗斯说，方法再安全严密，黑客似乎总能找到办法破解。 -

单选题Which statement is true according to the passage?AMore exhibitors attended the Comdex this year.
BFewer attendees attended the Comdex this year.
CComdex has surpassed the Consumer Electronics Show lately.
DThe technology industry’s centre of gravity has shifted away from sexier consumer-electronics devices towards PCs.
正确答案： B解析：
录音中提到今年会展中有很多关于参展商和参加者稀疏的牢骚，人数从2000年的20万降到了5万，接着录音中对Comdex曾经的繁华和衰落的原因进行了描述。因此选项B符合录音内容。
【录音原文】
This year the mood at the show was unusually gloomy. There was much muttering about the sparsity of both exhibitors and attendees, whose numbers fell to around 50,000 this year from around 200, 000 in 2000. Veterans grumbled that a once-sprawling show that used to take five full days to absorb could now be covered in an hour or two. Once the biggest annual show in Las Vegas, Comdex has lately been eclipsed by the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which earlier this year attracted around 120, 000 visitors. This mirrors the shift in the technology industry’s centre of gravity, away from PCs towards sexier consumer-electronics devices—such as mobile phones, games consoles, digital-video recorders and flat-panel TVs. -
