Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computer‟s screen. At the same moment the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening, they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses. Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all have excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. These viruses which named Jerusalem Viruses can stay in computers for a longtime. When time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions, damaging normal programs or even getting rid of all information.We now know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the US. But till now, how to get rid of the viruses remains a problem.51. The group of young men created the viruses to _______________.A. damage all the computersB. test their good abilityC. play tricks on operators of computersD. tell the world that they are intelligent52. According to the passage, computer viruses seem to ___________.A. have been in nature for yearsB. be difficult to get rid of at presentC. exist in any computerD. be able to got rid of in the near future53. The most serious damage caused by computer viruses is that ____________.A. the computer‟s function are loweredB. the normal program are damagedC. the computer infected by viruses can no longer be usedD. all the information stored in the computer is gone54. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Scientists have found a way to get rid of the viruses.B. The Jerusalem Viruses are a great harm to human‟s health.C. The viruses will come to a new computer after staying in the old one for some time.D. Last year, four countries found their computers were infected by viruses.55. When a computer is infected by viruses, it will _________.A. not work normallyB. be of no use at allC. stop workingD. not work properly for some timePassage 2 However urban life strikes you, cities worldwide have been growing ever more rapidly. Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world‟s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries. By the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world‟s people will be living in cities. This is actually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Dev elopment, “both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in most countries of the world …there‟s the crazy notion that the way to deal wi th a city‟s problems is to keep people out of them,” Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities.Those cities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don‟t determine a city‟s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usuallyunrepresentative city governments.”56. What is the passage mainly about?A. Big cities.B. City life.C. Population.D. Gross Domestic Product.57. What will happen in the year of 2030?A. There will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million.B. Rural area will be extinct.C. Most people will live in cities.D. The third world will keep abreast with the developed world.58. The author most likely agrees that____.A. better city, better lifeB. both urban and rural areas have their advantagesC. the larger population, the faster a city developsD. both urban and rural areas have their problems59. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries.B. Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers.C. Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country.D. It‟s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities.60. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Public services are ineffective.B. Cities are increasing too fast.C. Population is not linked with development.D. Government should be responsible for the problems in the cities.Passage 3The next generation of robots will be able to see objects, will have a sense of touch, and will make critical decisions. Engineering skilled in microelectronics and computer technology are developing artificial vision for robots. With the ability to “see”, robots can identify and inspect one specific class of objects out of a stack of different kinds of materials. One robot vision system uses of electronic digital cameras containing many rows of lights sensitive materials measure the intensity of light and convert the light rays into a range of numbers. The numbers are part of a gray-scale system in which brightness is measured in a range of values. One scale ranges from 0 to 15, and another from 0 to 255.The 0 is represented by black. The highest number is white. The numbers in between represent different shades of gray. The computer then makes the calculations and converts the numbers into a picture that shows an image of the object in question. It is not yet known whether robots will one day have vision asgood as human vision. Technicians believe they will, but only after years of development. Engineers working on other advances are designing and experimenting with new types of articulated metal hands and fingers, giving robots a sense of touch. Other engineers are writing new programs allowing robots to make decisions such as whether to discard defective parts in finished products. To do this, the robot will also have to be capable of identifying those defective parts.These future robots, assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions, will have plenty of work to do. They can be used to prospect for minerals on the ocean floor or in deep areas of mines too dangerous for humans to enter. They will work as gas station attendants, firefighters, house-keepers, and security personnel. The robot business will continue to grow also. Financial analysts believe this business will soar from a $ 100 million-industry at the start of the 1980s to a $ 5-billion industry by the early 1990s. Anyone wanting to understand the industry of the future will have to know about robots.61. Why is it so important for robots to be able to “see”?A. So they can criticize human factory personnel.B. So they can make critical decisions.C. So they can work better for human beings.D. Because they have a strong desire.62. What kinds of tasks are robots most suitable for?A. Boring, repetitive, and dangerous tasks.B. Difficult tasks.C. Heavy tasks.D. Strenuous tasks.63. Why will those people interested in industry have to know about robots?A. Because robot-business will grow rapidly.B. Because robots will be very useful.C. Because robots will become very prevalent in industry.D. For they can make a lot of money.64. What is the meaning of “defective” in the second paragraph?A. Having a noticeable or desire effect.B. Unquestionable and undoubted.C. Imperfect, having serious errors.D. Not enough in quantity.65. What is the best title for this passage?A. Future Robots Will Have Plenty of Work to Do.B. Future Robots Will See, Touch, and Think.C. Engineers Care Designing New Types of Robots.D. Future Robots Will Have Visions as Good Human Vision.四阅读理解判断题（正确T，错误 F 每小题2分共10分）Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposite; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with violent changes. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.66. Different conditions tend to promote social change.67. The expression “greater tolerance”(Line 8,Para.1) refers to quicker adapt ation to changing circumstances.68. According to the passage, the basic and emotional aspects of society tend to slow down social change.69. Social change is easier if it takes place between Black Americans and other Americans minorities.70. The passage mainly discusses certain factors that determine the ease with which social change occurs.英语试题参考答案一选择题（每小题1分共40分）1--- 10 C D C B B B A C A B 11----20 D C C B C D B B B D 21---30 B B A C A B C D B B 31---40 A A C D A C D D A A二完型填空（每小题2分共20分）41-45 D A A B C 46-50 A A D C D三阅读理解选择题（每小题2分共30分）Passage 1 51-55 D B D D APassage 2 56-60 A C A A DPassage 3 61-65 B A C C B四阅读理解判断题（正确T，错误 F 每小题2分共10分）65-70 F F T F T。
