Reading (20%)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own， most of them are holding one anothers hands for reassurance （放心）。They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon （茧） into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well， go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will comewith the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.1. The authors purpose in writing this passage is to tell_.A. readers how to be popular with people aroundB. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other2. According to the author， many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own， but in fact most of them_.A. have much difficulty understanding each otherB. lack confidenceC. dare not cope with any problems aloneD. are very much afraid of getting lost3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. Many parents think that their children are challenging their authority.C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers are actually doing the same.4. The author thinks of advertisements as _to teenagers.A. inevitableB. influentialC. instructiveD. attractive5. The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should_.A. differ from others in as many ways as possibleB. become popular with othersC. find his real selfD. rebel against his parents and the popularity wavePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage： Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated （自动化） production systems requiring a least possible number of operators， causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened， for example， in many steelworks.On the other hand， computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid， though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers， no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing （交换） system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers， a few people are usually employed in key posts （such as jobs of operations managers） while other staff are re-trained as operators， programmers， and data preparation staff. After the new system has settled down， people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave， resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm， resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers， making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.On the other hand， many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity， which will improve the condition of the whole economy， and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister， James Callaghan in 1979， when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity， which will benefit the economy in the long run.6. The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from_.A. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introductionB. their use as part of automated production systemsC. the least possible number of operatorsD. the production system in steelworks7. The underlined word “They” （Line 1， Par. 2） refers to_.A. computersB. jobsC. activitiesD. systems8. According to Paragraph 2， without computers_.A. human activities could not continueB. there could not be weather forecasting systemsC. many activities would have to change their present formD. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing9. According to the passage， what results from the introduction of computers？A. After re-training， all employees in the firm get new jobs.B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C. The firm keeps all of its original staff members.D. The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.10. James Callaghans attitude towards computers can be best described as_.A. doubtfulB. regretfulC. unfriendlyD. supportiveV.
