第21題單選修改
閱讀下列短文,回答{TSE}題目.
Sometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front gate will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You' 11 get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You' 11 even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the pre- dictions from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.
Most of the technology is available ( 可用的 ) now, but convincing ( 說服 ) more people that they don' t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism.
Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and pub- fishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.
Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy com- pugers and because newspapers have established financial(財經(jīng)的) interests in the paper industry.
{TS} What is the best title for this passage?
A.Computer Newspapers Are Well Liked
B.Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on Computer
C.Newspapers Are out of Fashion
D.New Communication Technology
參考答案：B
參考解析：參考譯文
到了下個世紀(jì)的某個時候，前門門廊里的早報就會消失。你也不用自己讀報，報紙會自動把內(nèi)容讀給你聽。起床以后，你只需要像打開電視一樣地打開電子報，電腦中的系統(tǒng)就會把你選定的報紙內(nèi)容通過電子聲音讀出來。你還可以任意選擇自己想聽到的聲音，另外，如果你想了解更多的內(nèi)容，你只需要輕輕地點(diǎn)擊一下就可以看到完整的內(nèi)容了。如果你覺得內(nèi)容不錯，還可以把它保留到自己的電腦中。以上都是未來報業(yè)發(fā)展方面的專家們所做出的預(yù)言。為把報紙納入家庭媒體和娛樂系統(tǒng)當(dāng)中，電子報將綜合打印和播報，在播放新聞的同時還利用新聞錄像加以分析。
人們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)掌握了這方面的大部分技術(shù)，下一步需要做的工作就
是要讓人們改變閱讀紙張報紙的習(xí)慣。然而，對于電子報的反對呼聲可能更多地來自于新聞行業(yè)。
因?yàn)檫@個改變是一個文化傳統(tǒng)上的改變，它意味著新聞記者和出版商將會在下一代人意識到紙張報紙業(yè)已經(jīng)不是新聞業(yè)之前就逐漸消失�？萍际沟脗鹘y(tǒng)報業(yè)不可避免地走到盡頭。
然而，盡管科學(xué)技術(shù)日新月異，要想完全用電腦屏幕取代新聞紙還需要好幾十年。這一過程大概還需要30到40年的時間，因?yàn)殡娔X的普及需要時間，另外，新聞紙帶給造紙業(yè)的豐厚利潤也是不可小覷的。
答案及解析
B【解析】主旨大意題。作者在本文中介紹了一種新型報紙。就是說在未來，人們可能不再從傳統(tǒng)意義上的報紙上獲得新聞，而是從電腦屏幕上。而且隨著科技的發(fā)展，新的技術(shù)不斷增加，這種技術(shù)會逐漸代替報紙。所以本文主要說了報紙的轉(zhuǎn)變，所以正確的答案為B。
第22題單選修改

A. it is technologically impossible now
B.computer newspapers are too expensive
C.there is strong resistance from both the general population and professional journalists
D.traditional newspapers are easy to read
參考答案：B
參考解析：B【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章最后一句話，It might take 30 t0 40years to complete the changeover because people need to buy com—puters and because newspapers have…可知，人們購買電腦需要金錢，而且傳統(tǒng)意義上的報紙已經(jīng)在紙行業(yè)的利潤中占據(jù)了很大的比重。在短時間內(nèi)，人們很難達(dá)到從電腦上看報紙的水平。所以正確的答案為B。

參考答案：D
參考解析：D【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第三段…it may be that the presentgeneration of journalists and publishers will have to die off before thenext generation realize that the newspaper industry…可知，現(xiàn)在的記者等感到很難接受電腦報業(yè)的發(fā)展，因?yàn)樗麄兞?xí)慣了傳統(tǒng)意義的報紙消息。所以正確的答案為D。
第24題單選修改
閱讀下列短文,回答{TSE}題目.
Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知識庫) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman ( 工匠 ) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them. But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (術(shù)語). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject.
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore (風(fēng)俗). All this is very diffi- cult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness.
{TS}In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to_______
A. personal experience
B.wild weeds among good plants
C.the information from the parents
D.the vast store of traditional practices
參考答案：D
參考解析：參考譯文
讀書不是獲得以前作品中知識的唯一途徑。還有一個大的知識庫，那就是經(jīng)驗(yàn)。大學(xué)生們發(fā)現(xiàn)每個工匠都有一些東西可以傳授。只要他們不會看不起那些工匠們.工匠們就很樂意把自己所知道的傳授給他們。他們所做的示范以及對所發(fā)生的事情的解釋通常都是正確的，即使那些解釋不是用規(guī)范的科學(xué)術(shù)語表述出來的。不久，大學(xué)生們會去學(xué)習(xí)接受什么或者拒絕什么。
另一個知識的來源就是由父親傳給兒子或者母親傳給女兒的各種傳統(tǒng)的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。但是這些對于大學(xué)生來說都是很難檢驗(yàn)的。因?yàn)樵S多知識以及個人經(jīng)驗(yàn)都是需要進(jìn)行好壞區(qū)分的。大學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)會了解并記住科學(xué)在這一廣闊、雜亂的領(lǐng)域中所發(fā)掘到的真正有價值的東西。
答案及解析
D【解析】推理判斷題。題干意思為“在最后一段中‘這片令人迷惑的領(lǐng)域’指的是什么”。根據(jù)文章的第二段首句“另一個知識的來源就是由父親傳給兒子或者母親傳給女兒的各種傳統(tǒng)的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣”可以選出答案。故選D。
第25題單選修改
From this passage we can infer that_______
A.we'll invite the craftsman to teach in the college
B.schools and books are not the only way to knowledge
C. scientific discoveries are based on personal experience
D.discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a college student
參考答案：B
參考解析：B【解析】推理判斷題。題干意思為“從整篇文章可以推斷出以下哪個選項(xiàng)?”A為“我們要邀請工匠來大學(xué)上課”，B為“學(xué)校和書本不是學(xué)習(xí)知識的唯一途徑”，C為“科學(xué)的發(fā)現(xiàn)以個人經(jīng)驗(yàn)為依據(jù)”，D為“發(fā)現(xiàn)與再發(fā)現(xiàn)是大學(xué)生獲得知識的重要途徑”。故選B。
第26題單選修改
The main idea of this passage is about________
A.what to learn from the parents
B.how to gain knowledge
C.why to learn from the craftsman
D.how to deal with experience
參考答案：B
參考解析：B【解析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文意思，本文的主旨應(yīng)該為“怎樣獲取知識”。故選B。
第27題單選修改
閱讀下列短文,回答{TSE}題目.
Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn't agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships.
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, "Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn't the key to life--this is!" At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family.
That's when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college?
As their answers are"yes", I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That's when they understand that I had it fight. I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being;without meaningful relationships, there's no chance of ever being truly happy. That's why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:" People first. Then money. Then things. " How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades(十年), the percentage of Americans who say they're happy hasn't changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we're not much happier on average.
A paradox(博倫) ? Far from it. My sense is that while we're making more money, we arent't making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement(退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of you know, it's really hard to increase your happiness when you've got a lot of money worries.
Do you agree, or am I way off base? I'd love to know what do you think about the money/happiness connection.
{TS} Why do people often show the author their family photos?
A.They hope to show money is very important.
B.They want to prove they can afford a holiday.
C.They think a good family makes them truly happy.
D. They believe a happy person considers people first.
參考答案：C
參考解析： 參考譯文
我們中的大多數(shù)人通常會說家庭和家人的愛是真正使自己幸福的源泉，我也非常贊同此觀點(diǎn)，但是錢在這層關(guān)系中也非常重要。
每當(dāng)我在對人們說起錢的時候，總會有人反駁道：“蘇斯，你錯了，錢不是生活中最重要的因素，這個才是!”邊說他們會打開錢包給我看自己的全家福。
我開始問他們問題，事情就開始變得有趣了。我的問題是：“你是用自己的相機(jī)拍的照嗎?這個沙灘真漂亮，當(dāng)時你們?nèi)以诙燃賳?你希望幫這些漂亮的孩子上大學(xué)嗎?”
他們不停地點(diǎn)頭，這時我問他們：“那你們拿什么支付這些花費(fèi)呢?”這時，他們才意識到我的觀點(diǎn)是對的。
我也完全贊同家人和朋友對個人幸福來說至關(guān)重要，沒有家人和朋友，我們永遠(yuǎn)都不會擁有真正的快樂。這就是為什么每周六晚上，在CN— BC節(jié)目結(jié)束時，我總會說：“人第一，錢第二，事情第三。”
我們?nèi)绾位ㄥX，對于幸福也很重要。在過去的十年里，美國人的收入翻倍了，但是說自己幸福的人卻沒有多大變化。難道在有了更多錢之后，我們沒有變得更幸福一點(diǎn)嗎?
這是一個悖論?其實(shí)并非如此。我認(rèn)為，雖然我們在賺更多的錢，但我們并沒有更充分地利用這些錢。我們要支付的開銷太大了，還要擔(dān)憂自己退休后的生活而儲蓄，而我們的父母和祖父母從來沒有這樣擔(dān)憂過。有了這么多令人煩惱的錢，幸福感的增強(qiáng)從何而來呢?你同意嗎?或者認(rèn)為我的觀點(diǎn)大錯特錯?我非常想知道你對于錢和幸福之間關(guān)系的看法。
答案及解析
C【精析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。題干的意思為“為什么人們通常會把自己的全家福給作者看?”從文章意思可以得知，這些人是想反駁作者的觀點(diǎn)，證明家人是幸福的源泉。
第28題單選修改
Why did the authur ask the group questions in Paragraph 3 ?
A.To persuade them to save for the future.
B.To ask for advice on holidays abroad.
C.To know more about each person.
D.To show them what he meant.
參考答案：D
參考解析：D【精析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。題干的意思為“為什么作者問那些人第三段的問題?”作者是想證明自己的觀點(diǎn)，通過問問題明晰自己的觀點(diǎn)。
第29題單選修改
Which of the following arguments does the author want to make?
A.Money is all that matters in our life.
B.The richer we are, the happier we'll be.
C.Money makes a difference to the quality of our lives.
D.True happiness is achievable from good relationships.
參考答案：C
參考解析：C【精析】推理判斷題。題干的意思為“以下哪句話是作者想表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)?”本題沒有原文，但是作者的觀點(diǎn)非常明晰，錢在個人幸福中地位非常重要，可以改善我們的生活質(zhì)量。
第30題單選修改
