That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarterof a century,engineers have been making better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. A computer can report,decide and control in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer“think”like a man. With the help of a person,a computercan draw pictures,write music,talk with people,play chess,recognize voices,translate languages and so on . Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Do you think that people will be afraid when they find that the computer is too clever to listen to and serve the people?21.Engineers have worked on computerfor _______A. about a hundred yearsB. more than twenty -five yearsC. over three months C. about ten years22.Some people think that a computer is _________people.A. cleverer thanB. ad clever asC. not cleverer thanD. slower thanputers are _______the peopleA. doing more and more jobs forB. going to laugh atC.going to listen toD. taking the place of24.With the help of a person, a computer can________.A. draw picturesB. write musicC. talk with people or play chessD. do all above25.People will______the computers in the future.A. really be afraidB. make better use ofC. no longer useD. help( F )Men sometimes say,“We are better and cleverer than women. Women never invent things. We do.”It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: machines,radios and guns,too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture. Before invention of agriculture, men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day,too. They collected corn, fruit and grasses. Then,one day more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds near her home in the Middle East. They grew –and the first wheat was born. The idea grew,too.Women planted corn and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: digs, cows and sheep. The idea grew,too. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home.They built villages and cities. Civilization began. Min began civilization after women invented agriculture. 26．Before the invention of agriculture life was difficult because____________.A.hunters sometimes killed other huntersB.hunters did not always get meatC.women went out to hunt every dayD.animals sometimes killed the women and children27.From the passage we know that domestic animals are________A. animals that feed on grassB. animals that live in natural conditionsC. animals whose meat can be used as foodD. animals that are kept at home28.After the first wheat was born, women soon saw that they could _________.A. go out and look for foodB. go hunting for meatC. plant corn,and fruit trees at homeD. go out to collect corn and fruit29.

These are known as guide words. The one on the left-hand side of the page tells you what the first word on the page is. The one on the right-hand side of the page tells you what the last word in the page is. So if you are looking for a word in the dictionary, you first look at the guide words at the head of the pages. Then you will be able to tell whether or not the word you want is on the page you are looking at.You will notice that a dictionary very often gives several meanings for one word. How could you decide which of these meanings is the one you need? First, you must know what part of speech the word is in the sentence. Is it a noun or a verb? Is it an adjective or an adverb? A word can be used in a different way in a sentence, and so may have a different sense. Next, you must see which of the meaning will fit into the sentence. It is important to study the rest of the sentence carefully in order to find out the meaning of the word36. The two words at the top of any page of a dictionary________.A.are known as those printed in heavy typesB.are called those on the left-hand side of the pageC.are known as those on the right-hand side of the pageD. are called guide words37. If you want to know what the last word on the page is , you may_________.A.look at the word in the right-hand side of the pageB.look up it in the last part of the dictionaryC.look up it in the first part of the dictionaryD. look at the word on the left-hand side of the page38. A dictionary often _______.A.tells whether or not the word you want is on any page you are looking atB.gives several meanings for one wordC.prints word in heavy typeD. gives two words in every page of it39. We would decide which of the meanings of a word in a dictionary is the one we need in the following order:______________.A.1)find out what part of speech the word is in the sentence;2)learn which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence by studying the restof the sentence carefullyB.1)know which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence;2)see what part of speech the word is in the sentence;3)study the rest of the sentence carefullyC.1)looking for a word in a dictionary;2)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;3)tell whether or not the word we want is on the page we are looking atD.1)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;2)know what part of speech the word is in the dictionary;3)find out which of the meanings of the guide words will fit into the sentence40. If in the dictionary you look up “load”in the sentence “We use an inclined plane to load or unload a truck”and the dictionary says:1. n. a burden; 2. n. amount of work….; 3. vt. put a burden on or into; 4. vt. add extra weight to …..Which meaning of the word makes the right sense in the sentence?A. The first.B. The second.C. The third.D. The fourth（I ）Tom was a shopkeeper. He had a small corner shop. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things.

The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom’s shop.The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom.

Soon Tom’s business was very bad and he was angry.“It’s not fair,”Tom thought,“I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson.”The price of steak in the supermarket was $5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window, “Steak--$4.50 a pound.”The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his window. “Steak--$4.00a pound.”An hour later,the sign in the supermarket said, “Steak--$3.75 a pound.” Ten minutes later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Steak--$3.50 a pound.” Five minutes later the sign in the sup ermarket said,“Steak--$2.50 a pound.” Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Stead--$1.00 a pound.”The manager of the supermarket ran cross the road into Tom’s shop.“This price cutting must stop,”he said,“Steak is costing me $4.00 a pound. I’m selling it at $2.50 a pound. I’m losing money every minute!”“I’ll stop cutting all my prices,”Tom said,“if you will stop cutting all yours.”The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook hands.Tom smiled.He had not lost any money on the steak .He didn’t sell steak at all.”41.
