II 完形填空，有答案与解析III语法填空，有答案与解析I阅读理解Peter Drucker, who died a year ago, was an expert on the ways of modern organizations. He was someone who truly earned the name of "management guru(管理大师)." He liked to share his knowledge not by answering questions but by asking them.Peter Drucker once said business people must ask themselves not "What do we want to sell?" but "What do people want to buy?" He taught at the Claremont Graduate School of Management in California for more than thirty years. He also advised companies. And he wrote for the Wall Street Journal opinion page for twenty years, until nineteen ninety-five. He commented on many economic and management issues.Peter Drucker was born in Austria in nineteen-oh-nine. In the late nineteen twenties, he worked as a reporter in Frankfurt, Germany.

He then came to the United States. He used his knowledge of international law to advise American businesses.

He also warned that rising wages were harming American business. He was later invited to study General Motors. He wrote about his experiences in the book "The Concept of the Corporation." In it, he said that workers at all levels should take part in decision-making, not just top managers.Peter Drucker was a voice for change and new ways of thinking about social and business relations.

2019届高考英语阅读理解限时训练题22
高三英语阅读理解限时训练（22）AValentine's Day is named for Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers．Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that．More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers．As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container．Boys reached into the container and pulled one out．The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year．Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine' s Day cards that tell of their love．Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy．Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system．But some used another way to send this message．They have it printed in a newspaper．The cost is usually a few dollars．Some of the messages are simple and short, "Jane, I love you very much．" Others say more．This one, for example, "Don, roses are red．Violets are blue．I hope you love me as much as I love you．Forever, Mary．"Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries aswell．This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world．These messages cost 80 dollars and more．An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year．Will this kind of Valentine' s Day message reach the one you love?Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper．41．Which is true about Valentine's Day according to the text?A．Gifts are a must for the

1820．Nobody really knows．But we do know that Harriet Tubman was one of the bravest women ever born in the United States．From a very early age, Harriet knew how slaves suffered．At six years old, she was sent to the fields．Working outside not only made her body strong but also made her learn about the Underground Railroad, through which she helped hundreds of people escape from slavery later．She also learned many things from other slaves, which one day would help her lead her people to freedom．She became more of a rebel （叛逆者）．In 1844, at about age 24, she married a free black man named John Tubman．By now, Harriet was sure she wanted to try to escape．Suddenly, the time came．Her owner died．Though opposed by her husband, she decided to escape．With the help of the Underground Railroad, and through a variety of suffering she finally crossed the border into Pennsylvania, where slavery was banned （禁止）．Later, she told a friend, "I felt like I was in heaven．"Now that Harriet was free, she did not forget the hundreds of other slaves back in Maryland．Harriet traveled back and forth eighteen times, helping about 300 slaves escape into free territory．She became an expert at hiding from slave hunter．The people she helped called her Moses．At one time anyone finding Harriet was promised $40,000 for catching her —dead or alive．During the Civil War, Harriet Tubman went into enemy territory to spy for the North．She also served as a nurse．After four years of bloody fighting, the North won the war．After the fighting ended, Harriet Tubman returned to Auburn, New York．She kept working．She traveled and gave speeches to raise money for better education for black children．She also worked for women's rights and housing．Harriet Tubman died in 1913．She was about 93 years old．By

WarB．A history of American black slavesC．A brief introduction to Harriet TubmanD．Information on the Underground RailroadCMADRID （Reuters）—Spain' s parliament （国会）voiced its support on Wednesday for the rights of great apes （猿）to life and freedom．Parliament's environmental committee approved resolution （决议）urging Spain to carry out the Great Ape Project （GAP）, designed by scientists and philosophers who say our closest genetic relatives deserve rights limited to humans．"This is a historic day in the struggle for animal rights and in defense of our evolutionary comrades, which will doubtless go down in the history of humanity," said Pedro Poza, Spanish director of the Great Ape Project．The new resolution has cross-party support and it is thought they will become law within a year, making Spain the first nation to extend legal rights to apes．Under the new law, potential experiments on apes in Spain will be forbidden．"We have no knowledge of great apes being used in experiments in Spain, but there is currently no law preventing that from happening," Poza said．Keeping apes for circuses, television commercials or filming will also be forbidden．Housing apes in Spanish zoos, of which there are currently 315, will remain legal, but supporters of the bill have said the conditions in which most of them live will need to improve vastly．Philosophers Peter Singer and Paola Cavalieri founded the Great Ape Project in 1993, arguing that "non-human hominids（灵长类）" should enjoy the rights to life and freedom and not to be mistreated．49．The Great Ape Project was probably set up to ___．A．protect great apes' rights B．research the great ape societyC．save the endangered great apes D．study the development of the great apes50．What is Poza's attitude towards the

rights．C．The Great Apes Project did a good job．D．Experiments on apes will be forbiddenDLocated in the forests near the village of Harads in northern Sweden, the Treehotel opened its doors in the summer of 2018 and offers six guestrooms．Owners, Britta and Kent Lindvall, invited designers and architects to create a series of unique tree houses that reflect the growing popularity of ecologically-themedholidays．There's the Mirrorcube, a 4x4x4 meter aluminum box in mirrored glass．Accessed via a footbridge, the Cabin is suspended （悬吊）from the surrounding pines on a steep bank, affording views of the Lulea River．Both these rooms sleep two people while the Nest （covered in branches）, the Blue Cone （which is actually painted red）and the UFO （a spaceship skewered by pines）all have enough room to sleep a family of four．The Treehotel was built after they saw a 2018 Swedish documentary （记录片）called "Tradalskaren" （The Tree Lover）that tells the story of three men who build a tree house near Harads in an attempt to rediscover their rural roots after years of living in a city．The Lindvalls, who already owned and ran a nearby guesthouse, saw the chance to create a different kind of holiday experience．"When the film was over, interest in the original tree house grew so we decided to build our own, closer to our place," Kent Lindvall said．"The plan for next year is five new rooms．We also plan to build a chapel so people can get married up there．"Open all year round, the Treehotel might attract only the hardest ofsouls during the winter as temperatures typically dip to around minus 15 degrees Celsius．But brave travelers will be rewarded with stunning snowy landscapes as well as a "Three Sauna" and under-floor heating in every room delivered by renewable energy．53．Britta and Kent Lindvall opened the Treehotel to ___．A．protect forestsB．introduce excellent ideas of designersC．provide a peaceful lifestyle for citizensD．meet the tourists' demand for getting close to nature 54．Which of the following rooms suits a couple most?A．The Cabin．B．The UFO．C．The Nest．D．The Blue Cone．55．What can we learn about "Tradalskaren ?A．It introduces the way of building treehotels．B．It is about experience of returning to nature．C．It aims to attract holidaymakers to the Treehotel．D．It is about Britta and Kent Lindvall's life experience．56．What does the underlined part "the hardest of souls" refer to?A．Hard-working couples．B．Strong-willed peopleC．Skilled travelers．D．The youth．E"Good fences make good neighbors", the television commentator said, misquoting Robert Frost for the millionth time in my memory．It made me wonder if the poet was not looking down from Heaven and sadly shaking his head．No line of poetry has ever been more misused in history than that one．It comes from Frost' s great poem Mending Wall．In it he writes of him and his neighbor repairing the broken stone wall that divides their property （财产）．Frost questions why they are doing so, because there are no animals that need fencing in．He sees as well that the wall is a symbol of the barriers （障碍）that people create to separate themselves from each other．He wisely writes that, "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out, and to whom I was like to give offence （冒犯）．'Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down'．"His neighbor, however, who Frost describes as a "stone savage" who "moves in darkness" refuses to part from the ways of his forefathers and goes along foolishly with their belief that "Good fences make good neighbors．"I wonder if Mr．Frost would have ever written his poem if he had known that the line he wrote in irony （讽刺）would be used again andagain to encourage what he was so against．Perhaps he would have written a different one about tearing down the fences that separate us and breaking apart the walls that hide our hearts from each other．Either way, we should embrace the wisdom he shared with us．Fences and walls separate us from each other．We need to take them down stone by stone, walk through them, and embrace each other in joy．We need to love our neighbors．We need to see that good fences DO NOT make good neighbors．They just make lonely hearts．57．What can we say about the author from the text?A．He thinks highly of Frost' s poems．B．He has a low opinion of Frost's neighbor．C．He looks down upon the TV commentator．D．He is anxious about the misunderstanding of Frost's idea．58．What does the wall in Frost's poem stand for according to the author?A．Broken fences．B．Quarrels with neighbors．C．The distance between neighbors．D．The insisting on the forefathers' belief．59．Frost wrote "Good fences make good neighbors" while he thought ___．A．it was wise to have no fenceB．neighbors should be good onesC．fences played an important roleD．bad fences made bad neighbors60．The author wrote the last paragraph to ___．A．say Frost was a wise manB．express his admiration for FrostC．call on us to tear down the fences in our heartD．encourage people to read Frost' s poems in a right way。
英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析(22)
英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析（22）Americans today don’t place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education—not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren’t difficult to find.“Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,”says education writer Diane Ravitch. “Schools could be a counterbalance.”Rav itch’s latest bock, Left Back:A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris,“We will become a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society.”“Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege,”writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualitiesthan anything you could learn from a book.Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: “We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.”Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized—going to school and learning to read—so he can preserve his innate goodness.Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines.School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country’s educational system is in the grips of people who “joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.”36. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?[A] The habit of thinking independently.[B] Profound knowledge of the world.[C] Practical abilities for future career.[D] The confidence in intellectual pursuits.37. We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of[A] undervaluing intellect.[B] favoring intellectualism.[C] supporting school reform.[D] suppressing native intelligence.38. The views of Ravish and Emerson on schooling are[A] identical. [B] similar. [C] complementary. [D] opposite.39. Emerson, according to the text, is probably[A] a pioneer of education reform. [B] an opponent of intellectualism.[C] a scholar in favor of intellect. [D] an advocate of regular schooling.40. What does the author think of intellect?[A] It is second to intelligence. [B] It evolves from common sense. [C] It is to be pursued. [D] It underlies power.名师解析36. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?美国的父母期望他们的孩子在学校里面学到什么?[A] The habit of thinking independently. 独立思考的习惯。

He was playing with friends at his grandmother's house in the southern state of North Carolina.

高考英语阅读理解专题训练极品题(22)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解专题训练极品题（22）及答案C7[2013·天津卷] ----CPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons(见识)．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.46．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?A．It was less tiring.B．It would be faster and safer.C．Her kids would feel less confined.D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________．A．relax in the fresh airB．take a deep breathC．take care of the lambD．let the kids play with Banner48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A．Freeways are where beauty hides.B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?A．To give herself some time to read.B．To order some food for them.C．To play a game with them.D．To let them cool down.50．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Charm of the DetourB．The Road to BraveryC．Creativity out of NecessityD．Road Trip and Country Life【要点综述】本文是一篇记叙文。

高二英语阅读训练(22) -CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1高二英语阅读训练（22）AWhat am I doing with my daughter at home﹖ Rather than read books aloud, we go to dinner and have a very good time． This is usually when her Mom isn't around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better． They're alone together so much． We're seldom alone． When we're alone together, she and I somehow behave differently． We learn about each other． She learns that I'm her father． I learn that she's my daughter． It's a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I'm talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is．Where did she suddenly come from﹖ And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents﹖ When my daughter and I are alone, she'll hold my hand and say,“I just love you so much, Daddy,” She's so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “We've got so much to do, Dad,” There's nothing like it in the world．I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I've been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something — anything.But this closeness is not without its problems． When I'm sitting there playing with her Barbie doll (巴比娃娃) washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, “I've got to get a drink and get out of here．” Right in the middle of all this pleasantness, the voice goes“Look at yourself, You're washing dolls.”1．Why does the husband give his wife so much money each week﹖A． He wants her to buy more things for the family．B． She can do whatever she likes with the money．C． He can spend more time alone together with his daughter．D． She can spend more time with her friends．2．Which of the following statements is TRUE﹖A． The father spends more time with the daughter than the mother does．B． The daughter is happy when the father tells her he will be away．C． The father is happy-hearing “We've got so much to do, Dad,”D． The father is sure that the daughter is not his own．3．What does the last paragraph tell us about the father﹖A． He doesn't enjoy being with his daughter．B． He likes to enjoy himself by going out for a drink．C． He doesn't like washing his daughter's hair．D． He has mixed feelings when he is with his daughter．2BThe soldiers had just moved to the desert, and as they had never been in such a place before, they had a lot to learn．As there were no trees or buildings in the desert, it was, of course, very hard to hide their trucks from enemy planes． The soldiers were, therefore, given training in camouflage(伪装)． They were shown how to paint their trucks in irregular patterns with pale green yellow and brown paints, and then to cover them with nets to which they had tied small pieces of cloth．The driver of the biggest truck had a lot of trouble camouflaging it． He spent several hours painting it，preparing a net and searching for some heavy rocks with which to hold the net down． When he came back from his meal, he was surprised and worried to see that his camouflage was completely spoilt(毁掉) by the truck's shadow, which was growing longer and longer as the afternoon advanced． He stood looking at it, not knowing what to do．Soon an officer arrived, and he, too, saw the shadow, of course．“Well, don't just stand there doing nothing,” said the officer．“What shall I do, sir﹖” asked the poor driver．“Get your spade (锹) and throw some sand over the shadow, of course,” answered the officer．4．From the passage we can know that＿＿＿＿＿．A． there were a lot of trees where the soldiers were sta tionedB． the soldiers were staying in an area far from the ene my planesC． the soldiers knew nothing about the desertD． the soldiers had lived in the desert before5．Which of the following is TRUE﹖A． The nets with which they covered their trucks were made of small pieces of cloth．B． The soldiers tied small pieces of cloth to the nets with which they covered their trucks．C． The nets covering the trucks were painted pale green yellow and brown．D． The trucks were tied to the nets with small pieces of cloth．6．One of the soldiers was surprised and worried because ＿＿＿＿＿．A． his truck had cast a shadow in the sun and the ene my planes would find itB． the shadow of his truck was growing longer at noonC． it was late in the afternoon and he could not get rid of the shadowD． his newly painted truck was in the shadow7．Why didn't he see the shadow at first﹖ Because＿＿＿＿．A． he was careless B． it was in the late afternoonC． it was noon when he finished the camouflage D． the shadow on the sand was invisible38．What do you think of the ending of the story﹖A． It is quite reasonable that the officer ordered the sol dier to cover the shadow with sand．B． It is where the humor lies．C． Though the officer's order sounded wise, the soldier couldn't cover the shadow．D． The soldier managed to cover the shadow with sand．CIf humans could be content to live on a lowest necessary diet with only crude shelter and some simple covering for the body, the economic problem could be settled with the minimum (最小值) of social organization． But the truth is that human needs increase as fast as our means of satisfying them． Today's needs were the luxuries (奢侈) of the last century． The things we dream about may be accepted as commonplace in the future．Shelter today means more than having a roof overhead． Choice of a home revolves (从各个角度考虑) around such issues as house size, the number of bedrooms and baths, playroom and the type of neighborhood．It is so easy to meet basic needs today that we work also to have luxuries and to impress others with our wealth． Also we want to be sure that our children will be well off and that we will have savings for old age．In addition to our own endless personal wants, there are others which require spending by large social groups to which we belong, namely clubs, churches and government． Through such agencies (代理机构) we seek to satisfy our wants for playgrounds, finer churches, better schools, the best textbooks, a good water supply,hospitals and clinics, up-to-date libraries, improved streets and highways, and national prestige (声望) in space exploration． Indeed, when all our private and public wants are combined (合并) they come to a total so large that we can only conclude that human wants are unlimited．9． What is the main idea of the passage﹖A． Human needs increase endlessly．B． It is easier to meet basic needs today than before．C． Personal wants are endless but public needs can be met．D． When our private and public wants are combined, we will be satisfied．10． The underlined phrase “crude shelter” in the passage means ＿＿＿＿＿．A． shabby clothes B． basic wantsC． beautiful and big house D． simple house11． When we combine our personal and public wants ＿＿＿＿．A． we may have luxuries which we have been dreaming about4B． we may arrive at the conclusion that human needs are endlessC． we may raise our national prestige in the international affairsD． we have to work hard to earn enough money for better living conditionsDI was in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language． On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on． The first two hours passed pleasantly enough． Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch． After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way． The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly． I stopped to ask a newspaper seller． He handed me a paper． I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands． I had to give him some money and went on my way． The next person I asked was a policeman． He listened to me carefully nodded and gently took me by the arm． There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again． I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed．About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me． I had come all the way into the countryside． The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station．12．The writer preferred to walk back to his hotel because ＿＿＿＿＿．A． he had no money to buy a ticket B． he wanted to lose himself in the cityC． he tried to know the city in this way D． it was late and there were no buses passing by13．The newspaper seller ＿＿＿＿．A． didn't know where the hotel was B． didn't understand what the writer saidC． could understand what the writer said D． didn't want to take the money from the writer14．From the story we know that the policeman ＿＿＿＿．A． was kind but didn't understand the writer B． told the writer where to take a trainC． knew what the writer really meant D． was cold hearted and didn't help the writer15．What can we learn from the last paragraph﹖A． The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed．B． The writer got to the hotel with the policeman's help．C． The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel．D． The writer found the hotel in the direction the police man pointed．16．In your opinion what was the writer's real trouble﹖A． He didn't know the city at all． B． He couldn't speak the language．5C． He went too far in the wrong bus． D． He followed the policeman's direction．EA new era (纪元) is upon us． Call it what you will, the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society． It all translates to a basic change in the way we work． Already we are there now． The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen fortunately in the Western World． Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan,two thirds or more in many of these countries, are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise． More women are in the workforce than ever before． There are more part-time jobs． More people are self-employed． But the wideness of the economic change can't be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to a radical (彻底的) new way of thinking about the nature of work itself． Long-held views about jobs and careers, the skills to succeed, even the relation between individuals (个人) and employers—all these are being challenged (挑战)．We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead． No one looking ahead 20 years could possibly have foreseen（预测）the ways in which a single invention, the chip (芯片), would change our world thanks to its use in personal computer, digital biotechnology (数码生物技术) artificial intelligence（人工智能） or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of unexpected changes． But one thing is certain information and knowledge will become even more important, and the people who have them whether they are in manufacturing (机器制造) or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth． Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write． The ability to solve problems by using information instead of performing regular work will be valued above all else． If you look forward 10 years, information services will be predominant (占优势)． It will be the way you do your job．17． One of the great changes brought about by the know ledge society is that ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A． the difference between the individual and the employer has become lessB． people's traditional ideas about work no longer hold trueC． most people have to take part-time jobsD． people have to change their jobs from time to time18． By referring to computers and other inventions, the author means that ＿＿＿＿＿．A． future achievements in technology will bring about unbelievable changesB． people should be able to respond quickly to the ad vancement of technologyC． the importance in technology has been overlookedD． computer science will play a leading role in the future information service19． The future will probably belong to those who ＿＿＿＿＿＿．A． possess and know how to make use of information and knowledge6B． give full play to their brain potential (潜能)C． involve (使卷入) themselves in service industryD． look forward instead of looking back20． Which of the following can be the best title for the passage﹖A． Computers and Knowledge SocietyB． Fast Development of Information TechnologyC． Characteristics（特点） of the New Era D． Service Industry in the Modern Society Key：1-5 CCDCB 6-10 ACBAD 11-15 BCBAC 16-20 BABAC7。
