One of the goals of American education officials is to have all public schools connected to the Internet computer system and have computer for all students. Government studies show that in 1994 only thirty-five percent of American public schools were connected to the Internet. Last year, that number reached eighty-nine percent.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute of State University is a large university in the southern state of Virginia. Officials at Virginia Tech say computers are very important to a student’s education. All students at Virginia Tech have been required to have a computer since 1998.
Each student’s living area at Virginia Tech has the necessary wires to link a computer to the Internet. The students can send and receive electronic mail, use the World Wide Web part of the Internet and link with other universities, all without leaving their room. They can also use their computers to send electronics copies of their schoolwork to their teachers. And they can search for books in the school’s huge library.
Most major American universities and colleges strongly urge or require new students to have a computer. Most colleges and universities also have large rooms where students can use computers for class work.
American high schools also have computers. Many have their own areas on the World Wide Web. If you have a computer you can learn about Fremont Union High School in Sunnyvale, California, for example. Its Web site provides information about the school, the teachers and their electronic mail addresses. It also lists student events and organizations.
Young children also use computer in school. Smoketree. Elementary School in Lake Havasu, Arizona has given us a good example. The school also has a World Wide Web site. It tells about the school and the teachers and has a area for young children. These young children use computer in school to learn numbers and letters. They also learn how to use the computer they will need later in their education.
39. From the passage we know __________________.
A. how to use computer to connect to the Internet.
B. students in Virginia Tec can use computer to send electronic copies of their homework
C. how to connect students and teachers by computers
D. how the teachers use computer to give their lesson
40. What is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Every student in Virginia has access to the Internet.
B. All students at Virginia Tech have been required to have a computer.
C. Students at Virginia Tech can search for books in their school library in their own room.
D. If you want to learn about Fremont Union School, you can read information in its Web site.
41. Which of the following statements is NOT right according to the report
A. It is required that new university students have a computer of their own.
B. Pupils in Smoketree Elementary use computer to learn arithmetic.
C. Every pupil in Smoketree Elementary School knows how to send electronic mail.

When Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions（解法）to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving（涉及）long rows of figures in one continuous operation（运算）.
In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given ￡2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.
Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was “No.”
From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern computer.
43．The machine Babbage designed would solve difficult maths problems _________.
A．in one operation with few mistakes
B．in more than one operation without any mistakes
C．in more than one operation with slight mistakes
D．in one operation without any mistakes
44．Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because _______.
A．he was in poor health B．he almost ran out of money
C．his co-workers argued with him D．he spent all his money on his bills
45．Babage explained his new idea to the government officials, expecting that _________.
A．they would agree to his plan B．they would pay for his new idea
C．they would support him with money D．they would exhibit his new design
46．From the passage, we can infer that __________.
A．Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at Cambridge
B．Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easily
C．Babbage always needed support from the government officials
D．Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer
D
While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon（现象）is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）.
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response（回应）in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.
47．According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _________.
A．their earlier experience of feeling lonely
B．the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries
C．the common worry about their income
D．the geographical distance between parents and children
48．Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _________.
A．live in the countries with more money B．seek a better place for their aged parents
C．continue their studies abroad D．realize their dreams in foreign countries
49．If young people go abroad, _________.
A．they do not hold to the value of duty at all
B．they can give some help to their parents back home
C．they cannot do what they should for their parents
D．they believe what they actually do is right
50．From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
B．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society
C．children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
D．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome
E
Listening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists（心理学家）. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.
The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels（分贝）， and the same music at 85 decibels.
For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake（刹车）in response to arrows that appeared without warning.
On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers“braked”at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a coupe of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian（行人）.
When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 milliseconds. For the people listening at 85 decibels, response times dropped by a further 50 milliseconds—a whole tenth of second faster than those “driving”with no music.
“But there’s a trade-off，”the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology. “They lost the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.”In responding to objects that suddenly appeared, people subjected to 85-decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some accident-such as children running into the road-take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.
51. Which of the following is the best way to make driving safer
A. Loud music. B. Quiet music.
C. Silence. D. Heavy metal music.
52. What does the phrase“pulling up”in paragraph two mean
A. Stopping. B. Giving somebody a lift.
C. Putting up with. D. Driving.
53. Where did the researchers do the experiment
A. At crossroads. B. At a police traffic station.
C. In a crowded street. D. Under the same conditions as those of the streets.
54. Which of the following didn’t help the performers to “brake”sooner at red lights
A. Silence. B. Loud music.
C. Quiet music. D. Rock music.
55. Which of the following is NOT true of loud music
A. It helped the performers to brake sooner at red lights.
B. It helped the performers to be more careful.
C. It helped the performers to respond faster to objects suddenly stepping in the way.
D. It can do more good than harm to drivers.

One of the goals of American education officials is to have all public schools connected to the Internet computer system and have computer for all students. Government studies show that in 1994 only thirty-five percent of American public schools were connected to the Internet. Last year, that number reached eighty-nine percent.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute of State University is a large university in the southern state of Virginia. Officials at Virginia Tech say computers are very important to a student’s education. All students at Virginia Tech have been required to have a computer since 1998.
Each student’s living area at Virginia Tech has the necessary wires to link a computer to the Internet. The students can send and receive electronic mail, use the World Wide Web part of the Internet and link with other universities, all without leaving their room. They can also use their computers to send electronics copies of their schoolwork to their teachers. And they can search for books in the school’s huge library.
Most major American universities and colleges strongly urge or require new students to have a computer. Most colleges and universities also have large rooms where students can use computers for class work.
American high schools also have computers. Many have their own areas on the World Wide Web. If you have a computer you can learn about Fremont Union High School in Sunnyvale, California, for example. Its Web site provides information about the school, the teachers and their electronic mail addresses. It also lists student events and organizations.
Young children also use computer in school. Smoketree. Elementary School in Lake Havasu, Arizona has given us a good example. The school also has a World Wide Web site. It tells about the school and the teachers and has a area for young children. These young children use computer in school to learn numbers and letters. They also learn how to use the computer they will need later in their education.

When Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions（解法）to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving（涉及）long rows of figures in one continuous operation（运算）.
In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given ￡2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.
Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was “No.”
From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern computer.
43．The machine Babbage designed would solve difficult maths problems _________.
A．in one operation with few mistakes
B．in more than one operation without any mistakes
C．in more than one operation with slight mistakes
D．in one operation without any mistakes
44．Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because _______.
A．he was in poor health B．he almost ran out of money
C．his co-workers argued with him D．he spent all his money on his bills
45．Babage explained his new idea to the government officials, expecting that _________.
A．they would agree to his plan B．they would pay for his new idea
C．they would support him with money D．they would exhibit his new design
46．From the passage, we can infer that __________.
A．Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at Cambridge
B．Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easily
C．Babbage always needed support from the government officials
D．Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer

While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon（现象）is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）.
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response（回应）in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.
47．According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _________.
A．their earlier experience of feeling lonely
B．the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries
C．the common worry about their income
D．the geographical distance between parents and children
48．Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _________.
A．live in the countries with more money B．seek a better place for their aged parents
C．continue their studies abroad D．realize their dreams in foreign countries
49．If young people go abroad, _________.
A．they do not hold to the value of duty at all
B．they can give some help to their parents back home
C．they cannot do what they should for their parents
D．they believe what they actually do is right
50．From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
B．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society
C．children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
D．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome

Listening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists（心理学家）. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.
The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels（分贝）， and the same music at 85 decibels.
For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake（刹车）in response to arrows that appeared without warning.
On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers“braked”at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a coupe of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian（行人）.
When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 milliseconds. For the people listening at 85 decibels, response times dropped by a further 50 milliseconds—a whole tenth of second faster than those “driving”with no music.
“But there’s a trade-off，”the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology. “They lost the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.”In responding to objects that suddenly appeared, people subjected to 85-decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some accident-such as children running into the road-take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.
51. Which of the following is the best way to make driving safer
A. Loud music. B. Quiet music.
C. Silence. D. Heavy metal music.
52. What does the phrase“pulling up”in paragraph two mean
A. Stopping. B. Giving somebody a lift.
C. Putting up with. D. Driving.
53. Where did the researchers do the experiment
A. At crossroads. B. At a police traffic station.
C. In a crowded street. D. Under the same conditions as those of the streets.
54. Which of the following didn’t help the performers to “brake”sooner at red lights
A. Silence. B. Loud music.
C. Quiet music. D. Rock music.
55. Which of the following is NOT true of loud music
A. It helped the performers to brake sooner at red lights.
B. It helped the performers to be more careful.
C. It helped the performers to respond faster to objects suddenly stepping in the way.
D. It can do more good than harm to drivers.
