第1题：
To live in the United States today is 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 spear 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 the Challenger space shuttle 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 and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible 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 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. There are those who assert that the switch to an information-based 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 it was 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 free 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 electronic methods. And it′s 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.
The author considers the introduction of the computer as a revolution mainly because _____________.A.it gives rise to mass production
B.it can do the tasks that could only be done by people before
C.it has helped to switch to an information technology
D.it has a great potential impact on society答案：D解析：细节题。根据第三段的第一句话“Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution”．几乎没有什么技术发展能比计算机革命对我们的生活造成的影响更大了。再根据第三段中的“The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change”可知．工业革命之所以是一场革命，主要原因是它引起了巨大的社会变革。计算机对人类社会生活产生了巨大的影响．所以计算机的引进也是一场革命。故选D。A项的主语是工业革命而不是计算机革命。B项的主语是 specialized machines而不是computer。C项表述与原文不符。 -

I did remember,but only dimly.A:faintly
B:vividly
C:partly
D:clearly答案：A解析：我确实记得，不过只是模模糊糊。 faintly“微弱地，模糊地”，例如：She turned and smiled faintly．她转过身微微一笑。vividly“鲜明地，生动地”，例如：I can vividly remember the day we met．我可以清楚地记得我们遇见的那天。partly“部分地，不完全地”，例如： We are all partly to blame．我们都负有一部分责任。clearly“清楚地，明白地”，例如：He was clearly mistaken．他显然弄错了。只有faintly意思上和dimly最接近。 -

第5题：
It was a case of emergency．The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke．She couldn't wake her mother,so she dialed"zero",An operator immediately called the fire department．Help was sent,and a tragedy avoided.
Days before this emergency,the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help．Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations．Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important．Teach your children their names,and the section of town where you live．Try to keep what they learn within their abilities．Simple information,learned well,is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone．They should be taught to dial"zero"for the operator,at the very least．And they should be taught to dial"911"if it is used in your town.
Practice over a period of several days．Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help,write Telephone For Help,Box 99,Bowling Green Station,New York,NY 10004.
What is the main idea of the passage?A.Give instructions on calling for help,
B.Partly-learned information is useles
C.Teach children how to deal with emergencie
D.Keep what children learn within their abilitie答案：C解析：第一段及全文都说明本文的中心内容是教孩子如何应对紧急情况。
