They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw (取回) or deposit money in different locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon—it’s already there. While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments (人员安排) to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize (强调) now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself. Many other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and public utilities (公用 事业) to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers. 56. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to ______. A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B. obtain more convenient services than other people do C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper D. cash money wherever he wishes to 57. From the first paragraph we learn that ___________. 豆丁文档--教育资源 豆丁文档--教育资源 A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States only C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before 58. The phrase “ring up sales” in line 2 paragraph 2 most probably means “_______”. A. make an order of goods B. record sales on a cash register C. call the sales manager D. keep track of the goods in stock 59. What is this passage mainly about? A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers. B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business. C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises. D. Advantages of credit cards in business B. You know you have to “read between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “ write between the lines”. Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading. I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage but of love. There are two ways in which one can own a book.. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make the point clear. You buy a piece of beef and transfer it from the butcher’s icebox to your own. But you do not own the beef in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good. There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers—unread, untouched. The second has a great many books—a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a few books or many—every one of them worn, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled(涂写) in from front to back. Why is marking up a book necessary to reading it? First, it keeps you awake. (And don’t mean only conscious; I mean wide-awake.) In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought--- through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed. 豆丁文档--教育资源 豆丁文档--教育资源 60. The third kind of owners of books must be _______. A. experienced readers B. untidy readers C. active readers D. careless readers 61. What does the author persuade you to mark? A. Whatever you have given deep thoughts to while reading. B. Words and sentences that bring up rich ideas. C. Primary questions that challenge you. D. Whatever disagreements you may have with the book. 62. Marking up a book means _____. A. writing down difficult sentences B. finding the extra meanings of unknown words C. writing in the space the ideas you get through careful reading D. making notes to show you understand what you have read C. Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby. The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again. Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression. 豆丁文档--教育资源 豆丁文档--教育资源 The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression. 63.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies? A. The environment. B. Mother’s sensitivity. C. Their peers(同龄人) D. Education before birth. 64.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories? A. To prove that babies can learn before they are born. B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born. C. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies. D. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills. 65.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills? A. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children. B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression. C. The children of depressed but caring mothers. D. Children with high communication abilities. 66.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth. B. Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies’ intelligence. C. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are rice or six months old. D. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies. D. Gateway Academy Pre-Sessional Courses(预修课程) Our pre-sessional courses are ideal for students who have a conditional place at a British university, but who need to achieve a certain level of English in order to be accepted. The course aims to provide students with the English language and study skills that they need in order to be successful at university or another academic establishment. It is important to note that completion of the course does not guarantee students’ entrance into a 豆丁文档--教育资源 豆丁文档--教育资源 university. It is necessary for students to show during the course that they have understood the information and skills that they have been taught, and can apply them to their work. Pre-sessional students at Gateway Academy will benefit from: ? Small class sizes (no more than 10 students per class) ? Twenty three hours of tuition per week ? Individual support and tutorials ? Regular guest lecturers ? The use of the Academy’s study and recreational facilities, including the Language Library, the computer suite, and the academy’s sports facilities. ? A varied social programme including evening entertainments and weekend excursions to popular tourist attractions and cities such as Stonehenge, Oxford and Stratford-on-Avon. The course offers an all-around approach to learning, and covers reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. During the course, students will receive instruction on important techniques such as summary-writing, analyzing essay titles, organizing writing, note-taking in lectures, giving seminars and making presentations. Students will gain experience in working both individually and in groups. As part of the course, all students will work towards a 5000-word project in their own field of study. Students will receive guidance from their tutors on how best to conduct research and write it up effectively. Students will also work towards a presentation on the same subject. There is no final examination. The attendance, successful completion of assignments and participation in class will be taken into account. Students will be given a full report on their progress at the end of the course. Students need to be aware that the course involves a great deal of coursework(课程作业), which will require students to manage their time effectively. 67. From the passage we can learn that ________.

Scientific investigations are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed. And results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone. Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience. What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group 豆丁文档--教育资源 豆丁文档--教育资源 member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference. Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members. When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format(格式) for exchanging information (e.g., photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement. After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness—the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.
