Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “text me aroun d 8 and we’ll see where we all are”.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”,two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out ot her people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.81 when people plan to meet nowadays, theyA arrange the meeting place beforehandB postpone fixing the place till last minuteC seldom care about when and where to meetD still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen onA TALKERSB the "speakeasy"C the “spacemaker”D texters83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA quite revealingB well writtenC unacceptable by othersD shocking to others84 according to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A TalkersB T he “speakeasy”C T he “spacemaker”D Texters85 an appropriate title for the passage might beA The SMS effectB Cultural implication of mobile useC Change in the use of the mobileD Body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class”--are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is – inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a top priority, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. Both of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve job-security, combined with a general rise in the standard of living since the mid-fifties of the 20th century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in previous generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gapbetween the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups. 86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A Life style and occupationB Attitude and incomeC Income and job securityD Job security and hobbies87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of＿＿is closer to truth?A middle –class ways of spending moneyB working-class ways of spending the weekendC working-class drinking habitsD middle-class attitudes88 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a typical feature of the middle -class?A Desiring for securityB Making long-term plansC Having priorities in lifeD Saving money89 Working-class people's sense of security increased as a result of all the following factors EXCEPTA better social securityB more job opportunitiesC higher living standardD better legal protection.90.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowing.C Differences in income will remain but those in occupation will disappear.D Middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people.TEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenl y turned, and asked me, “do you think I’m handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ‘No, sir.”“A h, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, I’m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that,”“No, you shouldn’t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.”I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly,“Yes, you’re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different.I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn’t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Don’t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “you don’t relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You’re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you’ll fly very high. Good night.”91. At the beginning Miss Eyre 's impressions of Mr.Rochester were all EXCEPTA busyB sociableC friendlyD changeable92. In "....and all my knowledge of him was li mited to occasional meetings about the house,…”(the second paragraph), the word “about” meansA aroundB onC outsideD concerning.93. Why did Mr.Rochester say" ..and the you stab me in the back!" (the 7th paragraph)?.A Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.B Because Jane had intended to be more critical.C Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.D Because Jane had said something else to correct herself.94. From what Mr.Rochest told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted toA tell her all his troubles.B tell her his life experience.C change her opinion of him.D change his circumstances.95. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester soundedA rudeB coldC friendlyD encouraging.TEXT DThe ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closely as possible, and the machine would appear to be charming, and easygoing.Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that people obtain from interpersonal friendships. The machine would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user’s life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer’s own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.96. Which of the following is NOT a feature of the ideal companion machine?A Active in communicationB Attractive in personality.C enjoyable in performance.D unpredictable in behaviour97. The computer would develop friendships with humans in a (n)___ way.A quickB unpredictableC productiveD inconspicuous.98. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?A Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.B Being sensitive to earlier contact.C Being ready to learn about the person's life.D Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.99Throughout the passage, the author is ____ in his attitude towards the computerA favourableB criticalC vagueD hesitant100. Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?A Artificial relationships .B How to form intimate relationshipsC The affectionate machineD Humans and computers。

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic (长久的) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one’s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate (公司) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.● “Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of ‘cross-border’ job hunting, justany related experience.”● Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your ‘oldest’ work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format.”● If you are submitting your resume in English, fi nd out if the recipient (收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as ‘tertiary education’ in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost neve r used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.panies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.A) they find foreign employees are usually more talentedB) they need original ideas from employees hired overseasC) they want to expand their business beyond home bordersD) they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home22.The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.A) is usually creative and full of initiativeB) aims to improve his foreign language skillsC) is dissatisfied with his own life at homeD) seeks either his own or his children’s development23.When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.A) take cultural factors into considerationB) learn about the company’s hiring processC) follow appropriate guidelines for job huntingD) know the employer’s personal likes and dislikes24.When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to ________.A) stress their academic potential to impress the decision makerB) give the title of the university degree they have earned at homeC) provide a detailed description of their study and work experiencesD) highlight their keen interest in pursuing a ‘cross-border’ career25.According to the author’s last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of ________.A) the different educational systems in the US and the UKB) the differences between the varieties of EnglishC) the recipient’s preference with regard t o the formatD) the distinctive features of American and British culturesQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Passage TwoEducating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women’s education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girl s grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.26.The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ________.A) troublesomeB) labor-savingC) rewardingD) expensive27.By saying “... the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling...” (Lines 45, Para. 2). the author means that ________.A) girls will turn out to be less valuable than boysB) girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsC) girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reachD) girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home28.The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when ________.A) women care more about educationB) girls can gain equal access to educationC) a family has fewer but healthier childrenD) parents can afford their daughters’ education29.What does the autho r say about women’s education?A) It deserves greater attention than other social issues.B) It is now given top priority in many developing countries.C) It will yield greater returns than other known investments.D) It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.30.The passage mainly discusses ________.A) unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB) the potential earning power of well-educated womenC) the major contributions of educated women to societyD) the economic and social benefits of educating womenPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. ‘The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,’ says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person howto steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting bold of the owner’s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal. Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.31.What’s the function of the remote imm obilizer fitted to a car?A) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.B) To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.C) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.D) To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.32.By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed” (Lines 1-2. Para. 3), Martyn Randall suggests that ________.A) it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealingB) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theftC) the thief has to make use of computer technologyD) the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old33.What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?A) A coded ignition key.B) A unique ID card.C) A special cellphone signal.D) A GPS satellite positioning receiver.34.Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?A) To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.B) To keep police informed of the car’s movement s.C) To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.D) To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.35.What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?A) Start the tracking system.B) Contact the car owner.C) Block the car engine.D) Locate the missing car.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says M etcalf. “You can’t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for gra ndparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to suppo rt and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth.

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is cha nging not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First. Let ' s talk about culture. The differe nee betwee n the mobile phone and its pare nt, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a Iandline goes to a place .If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-li ne phone, you get whoever an swers it.This has several implicatio ns. The most com mon one, however, and perhaps the thing that has cha nged our culture forever, is the “ meet ing ” in flue nee. People no Ion ger n eed to make firmpla ns about whe n and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday ni ght would n eed to be arran ged in adva nee. You n eeded eno ugh time to allow every one to get from their place of work to the first meeti ng place. Now, however, a ni ght out can be arra nged on the run .It is no Ion ger “ se^ou there at 8 ” , but “ text me around 'arsube/where we all are ”.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, "insightsinto the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging "two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “ talkers ” and thethose'whterefer'v oice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone ' individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.

TEXT B Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has cha nged, particularly where attitudes are concern ed. Ideas about social class- whether a person is “ wohking ” or middle- class -are one area inwhich cha nges have bee n extremely slow.In the past, the work in g-class ten ded to be paid less tha n middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers ' jobs were gener less secure, distinet differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existenee. The typical work ing man would collect his wages on Friday evening and the n, it was widely believed, havi nggiven his wife her “ housekeeping ” , would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-a nd still is -in cli ned to take a Ion ger-term view. Not on ly did he regard buying a house as a top priority, but he also considered the education of his children as extermely important. Both of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opport unity (or the educati on and training) to make such Ion g-term pla ns.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve job-security,combined with a general rise in the standard of living since the mid-fifties of the 20 th century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about“ tomorrow 'Working -class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has bee n a grow ing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their positi on.The cha nges in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily see n amon gst youn ger people. They gen erally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spe nd their money in hav ing a good time, and save for holidays or Ion ger-term pla ns whe n n ecessary. There seems to be much less differe nee tha n in previous gen eratio ns. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap betwee n the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new con flicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old con flicts will re-appear, but betwee n differe nt groups.86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A: Life style and occupati onB: Attitude and in comeC:I ncome and job securityD: Job security and hobbies87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of ___ is closer to truth?A: middle -class ways of spending moneyB: work in g-class ways of spe nding the weeke ndC: work in g-class drinking habitsD: middle-class attitudes88 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a typical feature of the middle -class?A: Desiri ng for securityB: Making Ion g-term pla nsC: Having priorities in lifeD: Saving money89 Work in g-class people's sense of security in creased as a resulf of all the follwoi ng factors EXCEPT?A:better social security B: more job opport un ities C: higher livi ng sta ndard D: better legal protect ion.90.Which of the followi ng stateme nts is INCORRECT?

In the morning he seemed much occupied withbus in ess, and in the after noon gen tleme n from the n eighourhood called and sometimes stayedto dine with him. When his foot was well eno ugh, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about thehouse, whe n he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His cha ngesof manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He wassitt ing in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smileon his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was look ing at him, he sudde nlyturned, and asked me, “ do you think I ' m handsome, Miss Eyre? ”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ‘ No, sir. ”“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almostrude. ”“ Sir, I ' m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn ' t matter, or something like that, ”“No, you shouldn ' t! I see, you criticize my appearancejnd then you stab me in the back!You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalanee your few good points. ”I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly,“Yes, you ' re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twen ty-one, andhave n ever found the right path aga in. I might have bee n very differe nt.l might have bee n as goodas you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wron g. Itwasn' t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you ' re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you ' re sympagive them hope. ”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn ' t seem to like to finislashe talk quickly,was the case for the first time.“Don' tbe afraid of me, Miss Eyre. "He continued. “ you don' relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But i n time you will be more n atural with me, and laugh, and speak freel y. You ' re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you ' ll fly very high.

Those qualities that make in teracti on with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closely as possible, and the mach ine would appear to be charm ing, and easygo ing.lts in formal con versati onal style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the in itiative in develop ing or cha nging the topic and would have a pers on ality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradualchanges that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affect ion that stimulates attachme nt and in timacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed frien dship in dicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a mach ine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relati on ship of this type would provide many of the ben efits that people obtai n from interpersonal friendships. The machine would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user ' life as revealed in earlier con tact, and it would be un dersta nding and good- humored.

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First. Let‟s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. Youneeded enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are”.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone‟s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outerpersonality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people. Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people‟s privacy. So, it is understandable if yourmobile makes you nervous. But pe rhaps you needn‟t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.81 when people plan to meet nowadays, theyA: arrange the meeting place beforehandB. postpone fixing the place till last minuteC: seldom care about when and where to meetD: still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen onA: TALKERSB; the "speakeasy"c. the “spacemaker”D. texters83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA: quite revealingB: well writtenc: unacceptable by othersd; shocking to others84 according to the passage ,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobilea: talkersb: the speakeasyc :the spacemakerd: texters85 an appropriate title for the passagemight beA: the SMS effectb: cultural implication of mobile use c: change in the use of the mobiled: body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class”-are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers‟ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is –inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases didworkers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similartastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A: life style and occupationB: Attitude and incomeC: income and job securityD: job security and hobbies87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of ------- is closer to truth? A: middle –class ways of spending moneyB: working-class ways of spending the weekendC: working-class drinking habitsD: middle-class attitudes88 according to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle -class?A: desiring for securityB: Making long term plansC: having priorities in lifeD: saving money89 working -class people's sense of security increased as a resulf of all the follwoing factor except?A:better social securityB: more job opportunitiesC: higher living standardD: better legal protection.90.which of the following statement is incorrect?A:Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B:The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowingC: different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappearD: middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people!TEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I wasinvited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “do you think I‟m handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized i t: …No, sir.”“ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, I‟m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn‟t matter, or something like that,”“no, you shouldn‟t! I see, you criticizemy appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awaful faults to counterbalance your few good pointsI thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly,” yes, you‟re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn‟t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you‟re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you‟re sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn‟t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Don‟t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “ you don‟t relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You‟re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you‟ll fly very high.
