directions:there are four reading passages in this part. each passage is followed by some questions. for each question there are four suggested answers marked a,b,c and d, you should choose the one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a pencil.
passage 1
legal and accounting firms throughout australia could streamline their advice to clients seeking a divorce with a new expert program that “thinks" like family court judges.
the software package, appropriately called “split up" was developed by dr. john zeleznikow and a team of researchers in la trobe university's department of computer science.
it is the first in the world designed to weigh up court judgments in previous cases to predict the way property would be divided for a particular divorce if proceeded to court.
while anyone can get a divorce, the rules on the division of property are up to the judge. deciding who gets what is a complex procedure based on future needs and past contributions.
split up, which can be installed on any pc, asks a sequence of relevant questions about the health, work history, children, property and future needs of the partners in a divorce. it then decides what percentage allocation to each partner would be in court and provides a series of arguments in favour of the decision.
its major advantage, says dr. zeleznikow, is that people are less likely to litigate once they know the likely court outcome. “let's say the program predicts that each partner will get $250 000 from a property settlement. if they go to court the cost to each could be $ 50 000 to litigate. this is a powerful incentive to negotiate instead."
the la trobe research team has attracted international attention for its devleopment of systems which can reason with both statutes (rules) and precedents (cases). the systems are being used in fields which include legal aid and credit law.

passage 2
the producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their product's obvious advantages. furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. the reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. the producer suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. this was confirmed by one of motivation research's classic studies, one often cited in the trade.
mason haire, of the university of california, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. there were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specified. the seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read “one pound maxwell house coffee" on the list and “nescafe instant coffee" on the other. one list was given to each one in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. the women were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (“personality and character")who would draw up that shopping list. nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. on the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife. no one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.

passage 3
it is a curious fact that as we leave the most impoverished peoples of the world, where the human being with his too few calories of energy scratches out for himself a bare subsistence, we find the economic insecurity of the individual many times multiplied. the solitary eskimo, bushman, indonesian, nigerian, left to his own devices, will survive a considerable time. living close to the soil or to their animal prey, the peoples with the lowest standard of living in the world can sustain their own lives, at least for a while, almost single-handed. with a community numbering only a few hundred, they can live indefinitely. indeed, a very large percentage of the human race today lives in precisely such fashion - in small, virtually self-contained peasant communities which provide for their own survival with a minimum of contact with the outside world. this large majority of mankind suffers great poverty, but it also knows a certain economic independence.
when we turn to the new yorker or the chicagoan, on the other hand, we are struck by exactly the opposite condition, by a prevailing ease of material life, coupled at the same time by an extreme dependence of the individual in his search for the means of existence. in the great metropolitan areas where most americans live, we can no longer imagine the solitary individual or the small community surviving, short of robbing for food and necessities. the majority of americans have never grown food, caught game, raised meat, ground grain into flour. faced with the challenge of clothing themselves or building their own homes, they would be hopelessly untrained and unprepared. even to make minor repairs in the machines which surround them, they must call on other members of the community whose business it is to fix cars, or to repair plumbing, or whatever. perhaps, the richer the nation, the more apparent is this inability of its average inhabitant to survive unaided and alone.
11. which is the best title for this passage?分析與解答
a. the poor and the rich.
b. the individual and the society.
c. the division of labor.
d. the making of a society.
12. “left to his own devices" in line 4, para. 1 most probably means .分析與解答
a. to be left alone
b. to be left to make plans
c. to be left to invent new devices
d. to be left to devil
13. it is most likely to find people like robinson crusoe 分析與解答
a. in great metropolitan area
b. in a large community
c. in modern america
d. near the north pole
14. which of the following is indicated in the passage?分析與解答
a. modern american society is a self-contained society.
b. division of labor improves efficiency.
c. the survival ability of a man is decided by the degree of his dependence on others.
d. a man living alone will survive longer than a man living in a small community.
15. one can not make a living in modern america by .分析與解答
a. buying things one need from stores
b. hiring the services of others
c. robbing others of food and necessities
d. learning to do things all by oneself
passage 4
if women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. when you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.
no one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. they are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. there can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
when comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualites of inconstancy and instability? men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? that is for you to decide.
16. designers and big stores always make money .分析與解答
a. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
b. because they are capable of predicting new fashions
c. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing
d. because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing

a. a waste of money
b. a waste of time
c. an expression of taste
d. an expression of creativity
18. the writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing. 分析與解答
a. cost
b. appearance
c. comfort
d. suitability
19. according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?分析與解答
a. new fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
b. the constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.
c. the fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
d. fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
