Do computers threaten our health or our society? The 41 of the matter, however, is that any new technology---computers included---has a 42 side. The problems caused by the computer revolution are quite different, of course. One similarity, however, is that computers are changing and will continue to change the 43 people live and work, much as the automobile did. Many assembly line jobs, 44 , will be taken over by robots and computer controlled machinery. Since many of these jobs are boring and 45 dangerous, that seems like a step in the 46 direction. But it is a big worry to the people whose jobs are threatened. One 47 to this problem has been developed, which is to give 48 jobs in the same company to employees controlling robots. With "computer matching", government agencies 49 to be able to track down criminals, and stop waste. But 50 to regulate computer matching without violating people’s 51 to privacy when tracking down dangerous criminals is a problem now 52 discussed widely. Yet another problem is computer crime. Clever criminals are finding ways to 53 computer codes and transfer millions of dollars to their 54 . Last year the Wells Fargo Bank lost more than $20 million in this way. Nationwide the total may have 55 $100 million. The list could go on. But if we want computers to work for us, we will have to find ways to keep people from using computers against us. 41.

If you bought a car, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment. You paid good money for the article and you looked after it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that its products can only last a very short time. It is cheaper to throw them away than to repair them. This has led directly to the waste of the earth’s resources. Just think of the cars that are traded in daily simply because they are ―out of fashion.‖ Just think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away each time a new article is bought---material which we consumers must pay for! Our industrial society has turned us into spoilt children. It is this terrible wastefulness that has got us into the mess we are in now. When there are no resources left, we will start to look after what we have. But why can’t we act before this happens? Why can’t we go back to a society in which the prevention of waste is a virtue? 56. In the writer’s opinion, it is a good idea for industry to make goods ______. A. that can last a long time B. that can last a short time C. according to customer order D. according to the latest style or model 57. The writer suggests that what people should do with their old-fashioned cars is to ______. A.. buy new ones B. throw them away C. exchange them for new ones D. use them as long as possible 58. Which word best describes the writer’s attitude toward the throwaway culture? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Unconcerned. 59. It seems that the way to get out of the whole mess people have got themselves into is ______. A. make more investments in industry B. produce more goods and services C. open up natural resources D. prevent and stop waste 60. What is the best title for the text? A. Industry and Business. B. Producers and Consumers. C. Look after What We Have. D. Take Care of Spoilt Children. 2 Both grocery stores and supermarkets sell food and household items such as soap, bulbs and matches. But a supermarket is usually much bigger than a grocery store. It is in fact so big that it is often divided into departments. There are other differences between most grocery stores and supermarkets. In a supermarket, customers usually serve themselves, that is, they walk around the store and pick out the items they need. Also, in most supermarkets, customers are required to pay cash for what they buy. That is, they cannot buy on credit (赊购). A large supermarket is a big business. Although primarily selling food items, supermarkets also handle other lines of goods which include housewares, school supplies, garden supplies, phonograph records, beer, camera film and supplies, toothpaste, aspirin, nylon stockings, toys, clothing, magazines and even books. The supermarket tries to meet the housewife‘s every need so that when she leaves, she‘ll shop nowhere else. In order to attract customers, the supermarkets have tried to make shopping as pleasant as possible. Some of them have flowers and trees in the parking lots. Some have roofs over the walks that shoppers can walk from their cars to the store without having to worry about snow, rain or the hot sun. Ceilings are sometimes sound-proofed (隔音的), and music is piped in. Most of the supermarkets are air-conditioned (装有空调的). With these and other improvements, supermarkets are not limited to the United States. From Bangkok to Buenos Aires, the old-styled grocery stores are fast disappearing. In Europe, supermarkets have grown rapidly since 1975. There‘s no doubt about it – more and more housewives around the world will soon be standing in the checkout (结帐)lines. 61. Generally a supermarket ______. A. is smaller than a grocery store B. sells the same items as a grocery store C. is bigger than a grocery store D. sells fewer items than a grocery store 62. In a supermarket these days, ______. A. you can buy only food and household items B. you cannot buy medicines such as aspirin C. you are always allowed to buy on credit. D. you can buy food, household items and many other lines of goods 63. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Some supermarkets have flowers and trees in the parking area. B. Some supermarkets put up notices in the parking lots. C. Some supermarkets have roofs over the walks to protect customers from rain or snow. D. The ceilings of some supermarkets are sound-proofed. 64. Supermarkets are ______. A. popular only in the United States B. not only popular in the United States but also in a lot of other countries C. popular all over the world D. popular in areas except the United States 65. Which of the following statements is true? A. An increasing number of housewives will shop in supermarkets. B. Fewer and fewer housewives will shop in supermarkets. C. No housewives will shop in supermarkets. D. Old-style grocery stores will become more popular than supermarkets. 3 Years ago, when a man left school—if he went to school—he learned a job. He did this job all his life. Things moved more slowly then. He could be sure that his job would still be needed forty years later. In these days he could not be sure. There is so much change in factories, work and methods that what looks like a very good job now may not be needed in ten years. You have only to think of what the motor car did to people who bought and sold horses to realize what this can mean in human terms. Suddenly no one wanted horses any more. The people who worked with them were suddenly without work, or ?redundant‘(被解雇的;多余的)as we say today. Methods change and skills become redundant. Redundancy is the biggest problem the working man has to face today. Some experts think that the working man of the future must expect to learn three or four different skills in his working life. This is because, increasingly, automation (自动化) will take over or some trades will cease to be needed. You cannot blame anyone for finding yourself in this position. If your job simply disappears, it is not your fault and you are not stupid. Losing your job like this can cause problems for you: you may have to move to find work again; there may simply be no work that you can do. The British government recognizes that redundancy is not the fault of the man who is redundant. So today there is a system of payment to men who are declared redundant. Any man who has worked in the same job for at least two years is given a payment by his employer when he becomes redundant. The longer he has had the job, the more he gets. This money is a kind of compensation (补偿) for being in the wrong job at the wrong time. 66. A man becomes redundant because ______. A. he did not go to school B. he did not learn a job C. things move faster and his job is not needed D. both A and B 67. Years ago, ______. A. a man could rest assured that his job would still be needed 40 years later B. a man had to go to school and learn a job C. there was hardly any change in factories D. things moved fast 68. When a man becomes redundant, ______. A. he only has himself to blame B. it means that he is stupid C. he should blame the government D. neither he nor the employer is to blame 69. According to the passage, redundancy occurs mainly because ______. A. the number of factories is on the decrease B. the number of workers is on the increase C. there is a lot of change in methods and some skills become out of date D. the British government is irresponsible 70. The passage is mainly about ______. A. changes in methods and skills B. the cause and effect of redundancy C. the British government‘s unwillingness to deal with the problem of redundancy D. compensation for workers in the wrong job Part V 短句识错(共15小题:每小题1分，共15分。) 下面有15句标有题号的句子，找出每题4个划底线部分中的错误项，并在答 题卡相应的题号后填涂选项。 71.
