Directions:There are twelve passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

If you have a credit card, you can buy a car, eat a dinner, take a trip, and even get a haircut by charging the cost to your account. In this way you can pay for purchases a month or two later, without any extra charge. Or you may choose to spread out your payments over several months and pay only part of the total amount each month. If you do this, the credit card company or the bank who sponsors the credit card will add a small service charge to your total bill. This is very convenient for the customer. With the credit card in your wallet or purse, you don’t have to carry much cash. This saves your trips to the bank to cash checks or withdraw cash. Also, if you carry credit cards instead of a lot of cash, you don’t have to be concerned about losing your money through carelessness or theft. The card user only has to worry about paying the final bill. This of course can be a problem if you charge more than you can pay for.

Credit cards are a big business. Americans spend $16 billion a year on cards and there are already 590 million of them in circulation. Many banks sponsor their own credit companies and issue cards free to their customers. Other credit companies charge their members annual dues. The stores that accept credit cards must pay a small fee to the credit card company — a percentage of purchase price of the merchandise or service. In return, the credit card company promptly pays the store for the merchandise or service. Credit card companies make a profit from the fees they charge the store and also from the fees collected from customers who pay for their charges in monthly installments.However, credit card companies sometimes have problems collecting overdue payments from unreliable customers. Also, the use of stolen, lost, or counterfeit credit cards by criminals has become a big headache for the credit card company that is responsible for the goods and services illegally charged to its customers’ account.

Yet, in many ways, the big loser in the credit card system is not the credit card company, the store, or the card user, but rather the general customer. The store makes up for the fees it pays to the credit card company by increasing prices for goods and services. Stores may have more sales if they accept cards, but the added cost to the store when credit cards are accepted instead of cash, is actually passed on to all customers in higher prices. In this way the cash customer suffers for the convenience the credit card customer enjoys.

Many feel that it will only be a matter of time before credit cards completely replace cash and checks for both individuals and businesses. In such a credit card economy there would be only one ―super-credit-card-bank-company‖and each individual would be given his or her card. Each person’s Social Security number would be used as the card number. Firms would use their Federal Identification number. Thus, every individual would be able to pay for everything by credit card —newspapers, cab fares, donations, tools, theater admissions, tuition, children’s allowances, everything. All salary payments would be credited to each individual’s account with the

―super-credit-card-bank-company‖which would pay one’s bills, deduct state and federal taxes, and deposit what’s left — if anything — into a savings account. Just think of the convenience of getting rid of cash and checks and even eliminating loose change. No need, then, to worry as before, when you wanted to buy a newspaper and you only had a $20 bill.

However, with a complete credit card economy, there would still be the problem of thefts of cards, forging of card and lost cards, so the credit card is really not that practical. Something else is needed that is small, always with us, cannot be forged, and easily identifies our account. The answer is your thumbprint; everyone’s thumbprint would be recorded with his or her Social Security number.

1. The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A. how the credit card company works

B. how the credit card company pays the bank

C. the advantages of the credit card

D. the disadvantages of the credit card

2. According to Paragraph 1, if you have a credit card, you will have to pay a small service charge

to ______.

A. the credit card company

B. the store where you purchase goods

C. the bank where you deposit money

D. other customers

3. From Paragraph 3 we know that the big loser in the credit card system is ______.

A. the general customer

B. the store

C. the card user

D. the credit card company

4. The author thinks that credit cards ______.

A. will completely disappear in the future

B. will completely replace cash and checks for both individuals and businesses quickly

C. will completely replace cash and checks for both individuals and businesses sooner or later

D. will not replace cash and checks because there is a matter of time

5. From the author’s point of view, the credit card is ______.

A. perfect and practical

B. not easily forged

C. still faced with some problems and not so practical

D. more practical than one’s thumbprint

Passage Two

Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sports women kill the essence of sports -- the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation's hopes, dream and reputation. A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world's most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention "Argentina‖ to someone and the chances are that he'll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup "put Argentina on the map".

Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.

So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinians really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every sense better than all others? Not really. But it's nice to know that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.

1. What’s the author’s main purpose in the passage ?

A) To prove that football is the world's most important sport.

B) To show that Argentina is better than all others.

C) To compare Scotland with Argentina.

D) To explain the role of sport.

2. In the second paragraph, the word ―summit‖ means ______.

A) highest point B) mountain top

C) award D) summary

3. According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its ______.

A) large number of sports fans and supporters

B) success in the football World Cup

C) obvious position on the map

D) excellence at all important sports

4. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will ______.

A) fail to succeed B) be successful

C) lose enjoyment D) be irrational

5. What is the author's attitude towards international games?

A) Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield.

B) Nations that won football World Cup are regarded best in all aspects.

C) Nations that win in international games prove best on the sports field at least.

D) Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many

ways.

Passage Three

As evidence that the earth’s atmosphere is warming continues to accumulate, scientists are making slow progress toward an answer to the big question raised by the evidence: How much of the warming is due to human activity and how much to natural causes?

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group of scientists widely considered the most authoritative voice on the subject, has already concluded that there is a ―discernible human influence‖ on the global climate. Now the panel is deep into another of its periodic full-scale scientific assessments of global climate change.

Some experts on the problem say the human imprint on climate is becoming clearer, and may even have been the dominant factor in the global warming of recent decades. Not everyone agrees and virtually all experts say that in any case, a reliable estimate of the human imprint’s magnitude still remains some distance off.

A number of influences, both natural and man-made, cause the planet’s temperature to vary. The natural ones include changes in solar radiation, and sulfate droplets called aerosols cast aloft by erupting volcanoes, which cool the atmosphere by reflecting sunlight.

The human influence stems mostly from emissions of waste industrial gases like carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere, and sulfate aerosols from industrial smokestacks.

Human factors appeared to be playing a part, but no judgment has been made on whether that part was big, small or in between.

One recent piece of evidence suggesting a strong human influence, which seems like to carry some weight with the intergovernmental panel, appeared recently in the journal Nature. Scientists analyzed the global climate record of the last century in an effort to isolate and quantify the major factors producing the century’s rise of about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the Earth’s average surface temperature.

The research team found that in the earlier part of the century, the rise could be explained either by an increase in solar radiation or a combination of stronger solar radiation and heat-trapping greenhouse gases emitted by industrial economies. But they found that after the mid-1970s, when abo ut half the century’s warming took place, that warming resulted largely from the greenhouse gases. Other researchers have lately come to a similar conclusion.

―The study represents another jigsaw puzzle piece,‖ said one expert. ―There is still a long way to go in completing the puzzle,‖ he said, ―but we are beginning to see the smile on the face of the Mona Lisa, I think —or perhaps it should be a frown.‖

Meanwhile, though, evidence of warming and its effects continues to mount. Earlier this year, scientists at the University of Massachusetts and the University of Arizona reconstructed the average annual surface temperature trend of the Northern Hemisphere for the last 1000 years. While cautioning that margin of error was large enough for render data from the early centuries untrustworthy, they found that 20th century was the warmest of the millennium.

This and other analyses have found that the warmest years of all occurred in the 1990s, with 1998 the warmest on record. El Nino, the great pool of warm water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that from time to time heats the atmosphere and disrupts weather patterns, was responsible for some of the 1998 heating. An analysis, however, has shown that when El Nino’s effects are filtered out of the global temperature record statistically, 1998 still ranks as the warmest year.

Two studies reported in Nature last month suggest that the warming is being reflected in patterns of wildlife behavior and distribution. In one study, 13 scientists analyzed distribution patterns of 35 species, their range of habitat had shifted northward by 35 to 240 kilometers coincidentally with Europe’s warming trend.

In the other study, some British scientists analyzed the nesting habits of 20 species of birds in Britain. They found that, again coincident with a recent warming trend, the birds were laying their eggs earlier in the spring. This is the latest in a series of studies indicating that meteorological spring is coming earlier in the Northern Hemisphere[5]. Some have also shown that fall is coming later.

A third study in Nature reported, on the basis of bubbles of atmospheric gas contained in ice cores extracted from the Antarctic ice sheet, that present-day atmospheric levels of heating-trapping carbon dioxide were higher than at any other time in the last 420000 years. At 360 parts per million, they are 20 percent higher than in any previous warm period between ice ages and double the typical concentrations during an ice age.

1. The earth’s atmosphere is warming, ______.

A. mainly because of human factor

B. mainly because of natural causes

C. the reason of which is completely unknown

D. which is being studied by scientists

2. Maybe sulfate aerosols are all caused by ______.

A. erupting volcanoes

B. industrial smokestacks

C. both A and B

D. none of the above

3. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. About half of the 20th century’s rise in average global climate resulted mostly from the

greenhouse gases.

B. Half of the 20th century warming took place in the last thirty years.

C. The 20th century is the warmest in the last one thousand years.

D. All of the above.

4. The global climate rise in the earlier part of the 20th century is due to ______.

A. an increase in solar radiation only

B. greenhouse gases

C. eruption of volcanoes

D. either an increase in solar radiation or a combination of stronger solar radiation and

greenhouse effect

5. According to the study of bubbles of atmospheric gas contained in ice cores extracted from the Antarctic ice sheet, we can infer that ______.

A. present-day climate is the warmest in history

B. present-day climate is 20 percent hotter than that of the last 420 000 years

C. present-day climate is twice hotter than that of an ice age

D. in 1998 the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere are the highest on record

Passage Four

The current energy security system was created in response to the 1973 Arab oil embargo to ensure coordination among the industrialized countries in the event of a disruption in supply, encourage collaboration on energy policies, and deter any future use of an ―oil weapon‖by exporters. Its key elements are the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), whose members are the industrialized countries; strategic stockpiles of oil, including the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves; continued monitoring and analysis of energy markets and policies; and energy conservation and coordinated emergency sharing of supplies in the event of a disruption. The emergency system was set up to offset major disruptions that threatened the global economy and stability, not to manage prices and the commodity cycle. Since the system’s inception in the 1970s, a coordinated emergency drawdown of strategic stockpiles has occurred only twice: on the eve of the Gulf War in 1991 and in the autumn of 2005 after Hurricane Katrina.

Experience has shown that to maintain energy security countries must abide by several principles. The first and most familiar is what Churchill urged more than 90 years ago:

diversification of supply. Multiplying one’s supply sources reduces the impact of a disruption in supply from one source by providing alternatives, serving the interests of both consumers and producers, for whom stable markets are a prime concern. But diversification is not enough. A second principle is resilience, a ―security margin‖in the energy supply system that provides a buffer against shocks and facilitates recovery after disruptions. Resilience can come from many factors, including sufficient spare production capacity, strategic reserves, backup supplies of equipment, adequate storage capacity along the supply chain, and the stockpiling of critical parts for electric power production and distribution, as well as carefully conceived plans for responding to disruptions that may affect large regions. Hence the third principle: recognizing the reality of integration. There is only one oil market, a complex and worldwide system that moves and consumes about 86 million barrels of oil every day. For all consumers, security resides in the stability of this market. Secession is not an option.

A fourth principle is the importance of information. High-quality information underpins well-functioning markets. On an international level, the IEA has led the way in improving the flow of information about world markets and energy prospects. That work is being complemented by the new International Energy Forum, which will seek to integrate information from producers and consumers. Information is no less crucial in a crisis, when consumer panics can be instigated by a mixture of actual disruptions, rumors, and fear. In such situations, governments and the private sector should collaborate to counter panics with high-quality, timely information.

As important as these principles are, the past several years have highlighted the need to expand the concept of energy security in two critical dimensions: the recognition of globalization of the energy security system, which can be achieved especially by engaging China and India, and the acknowledgement of the fact that the entire energy supply chain needs to be protected.

1. The energy security system was established for the following long-term purpose EXCEPT ______.

A. protecting profits of industrialized countries during Arab oil embargo

B. making effective coordination among those industrialized countries

C. promoting cooperation in making policies about energy

D. preventing oil exporters from using oil as a weapon against other countries

2. Which of the following statements about International Energy Agency is NOT true?

A. Its headquarter is located in Paris.

B. Its members include developed and developing countries.

C. It monitors and analyzes the energy market and policies.

D. It makes great efforts to save energy and deal with oil disruption.

3. The first and foremost thing that both consumers and producers are concerned about is ______.

A. various supply sources

B. stable energy markets

C. the largest profits

D. reasonable prices

4. Integration, the third principle to maintain energy security, means to ______.

A. recognize the reality of energy shortage

B. guarantee the stability of energy market

C. realize the unity of the worldwide market

D. protect one’s independent interests

5. The main purpose of this passage is to ______.

A. convince readers that energy security is important

B. introduce the major energy organizations of U.S.

C. inform readers what the energy security system is like

D. present principles for ensuring energy security

Passage Five

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

The Internet seems to have just arrived, so how can we possibly imagine what will replace it? In truth, early versions of the Net have been around since the 1960s and 70s, but only after the mid-1990s did it begin to have a serious public impact. Since 1994, the population of users has grown from about 13 million to more than 300 million around the world.

What will the Internet be like 20 years from now?

Like the rest of infrastructure, the Internet will eventually seem to disappear by becoming widespread. Most access will probably be via high-speed, low-power radio links. Most handheld, fixed and mobile appliances will be Internet enabled. This trend is already discernible in the form of Internet-enabled cell phones and personal digital assistants. Like the servants of centuries past, our household helpers will chatter with one another and with the outside help.

So many appliances, vehicles and buildings will be online by 2020 that it seems likely there will be more things on the Internet than people. Internet-enabled cars and airplanes are coming online, and smart houses are being built every day. Eventually, programmable devices will become so cheap that we will embed them in the cardboard boxes into which we put other things for storage or shipping. These passive ―computers‖ will be activated as they pass sensors and will be able to both emit and absorb information. Such innovations will facilitate increasingly automatic manufacturing, inventory control, shipping and distribution. Checkout at the grocery store will be fully automatic, as will payment via your digital wallet.

The advent of programmable, mini-scale machines will extend the Internet to things with the size of molecules that can be injected under the skin, leading to Internet-enabled people. Such devices, together with Internet-enabled sensors embedded in clothing, will avoid a hospital stay for medical patients who would otherwise be there only for observation. The speech processor used today in cochlear implants for the hearing impaired could easily be connected to the Internet; listening to Internet radio could soon be a direct computer-to-brain experience!

The Internet will undergo substantial alteration as optical technologies allow the transmission of many trillions of bits per second on each Internet’s fiber-optic backbone network. The core of the network will remain optical, and the edges will use a mix of access technologies, ranging from radio and infrared to optical fiber and the old twisted-pair copper telephone lines.By then, the Internet will have been extended, by means of an interplanetary Internet backbone, to operate in outer space.

How will this pervasive Internet access affect our daily lives? More and more of the world’s information will be accessible instantly and from virtually anywhere. In an emergency, our health records will be available for remote medical consultation with specialists and perhaps even remote surgery. More and more devices will have access to the global positioning system, increasing the value of geographically indexed databases. Using GPS with speech-understanding software that is emerging today, we will be able to get directions from our Internet as easily as we once got them at a filling station.

Is there any downside to a society suffused with information and the tools to process it?

Privacy will come at a premium. Enormous quantities of data about our daily affairs will flow across the Internet, working to make our lives easier. Despite our preference for giving up privacy in exchange for convenience, our experiences online may make us yearn for the anonymity of the past. Who should have access to our medical records and our financial information, and how will that access be controlled? Will we be able to search and use the vast information stored online without leaving trails across the Net? How will business transactions be taxed, and in what jurisdictions will disputed electronic transactions be resolved? How will intellectual property be protected? How will we prove that contracts were signed on a certain date, or that their terms and conditions have not been electronically altered? There are technical answers for many of these questions, but some will require international agreements before they can be resolved.

Perhaps even more daunting, in the face of Internet-wide virus attacks, is the realization that we will depend in larger and larger measure on the network’s functioning reliably. Making this system of millions of networks robust is a challenge for the present generation of Internet engineers. But I am an optimist and believe we are going to live in a world abundant with information and with the tools needed to use it wisely.

Passage Six

I spent some of the most exciting days of my life wor king on the eastern shores of Kenya’s Lake Turkana, searching for the fossilized remains of our early ancestors. We did not always find what we wanted, but every day there was much more to discover than the traces of our own predecessors. The fossils, some quite complete, others mere fragments, spoke of another world in which the ancestors of many of today’s African mammals roamed in the rich grassland and forest fringes between 1.5 million and 2 million years ago. The environment was not too different from the wetter grasslands of Africa today, but it was full of amazing animals that are now long extinct.

One in particular I would have loved to see alive was a short-necked giraffe relative that had huge ―antlers‖, some with a span across the horns of clos e to almost 3 meters. There were buffalo-size antelopes with massive curving horns, carnivores that must have looked like saber-toothed lions, two distinct species of hippo and at least two types of elephants. We may never know the full extent of this incredible mammalian diversity, but there were probably more than twice as many species a million years ago as there are today.

That was true not just for Africa. The fossil record tells the same story everywhere. Most of life’s experiments have ended in ext inction. It is estimated that more than 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years are gone.

So, should we be concerned about the current spasm of extinction, which has been accelerated by the inexorable expansion of agriculture and industry? Is it necessary to try to slow down a process that has been going on forever?

I believe it is. We know that the well-being of human race is tied to the well-being of many other species, and we can’t be sure which species are most important to our own survival.

But dealing with the extinction crisis is no simple matter, since much of the world’s biodiversity resides in its poorest nations, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Can such countries justify setting aside national parks and nature reserves where human encroachment and even access is forbidden? Is it legitimate to spend large sums of money to save some species —

be it an elephant or an orchid —in a nation in which a sizable percentage of the people are living below the poverty line?

Such questions make me uneasy about promoting wildlife conservation in impoverished nations. Nonetheless, I believe that we can —and should —do a great deal. It’s a matter of changing priorities. Plenty of money is available for scientific field studies and conferences on endangering species. But what about boots and vehicles for park personnel who protect wildlife from poachers? What about development aid to give local people economic alternatives to cutting forests and plowing over the land? That kind of funding is difficult to come by.

People in poor countries should not be asked to choose between their own short-term survival and long-term environmental needs. If their governments are willing to protect the environment, the money needed should come from international sources. To me, the choice is clear. Either the more affluent world helps now or the world as a whole will lose out.

Of course, we must be careful not to allow the establishment of slush funds or rely on short-term, haphazard handouts that the world would probably go to waste. We need a permanent global endowment devoted to wildlife protection, funded primarily by the governments of the industrial nations and international aid agencies. The principal could remain invested in the donor nations as the interest flowed steadily into conservation efforts.

How to use those funds would be a matter of endless debate. Should local communities be entitled to set the agenda, or should outside experts take control? Should limited hunting be allowed in parks, or should they be put off limits? Mistakes will be made, the landscape will keep changing, and species will still be lost, but the difficulty of the task should not lead us to abandon hope. Many of the planet’s natural habitats are gone forever, bur many others can be saved and in time restored.

A major challenge for the 21st century is to preserve as much of our natural estate as possible. Let us resist with all our efforts any moves to reduce the amount of wild land available for wild species. And let us call upon the world’s richest nations to provide the money to make that possible. That would not be a contribution to charity; it would be an investment in the future of humanity —and all life on Earth.

Passage Seven

All managers, regardless of their level, must have three basic kinds of managerial skills: conceptual skills, ―people‖ skills, and technical skills. Each of these can be developed. They are not inborn.

A manager with conceptual skills can see the firm as system —a complex of parts that interact with and depend on one another. The manager also sees how the firm relates to its environment. These managers are creative and analytical. They identify and solve problems and come up with new approaches to the management process. Conceptual skills are crucial for long-range planning and therefore are more important at the upper level of management than at the lower and middle levels.

People skills are human relations skills. They include communication, motivation, and leadership skills. These are the most important of all managerial skills at all levels of management. They determine how well a manager interacts with superiors and subordinates. A manager with good people skills gets along and works well with people at all levels in the firm. People skills are especially important in human resource management.

Technical skills involve a manager’s ability to understand and use techniques, methods, equipment, and procedures—in other words, to understand how things operate. These skills are more important at the lower management level than at the upper and middle levels. Foremen, for example, must know how to operate the machinery their subordinates use. As a manager moves up the management hierarchy, technical skills become less important than conceptual and people skills.

Technical skills are the hardest to transfer from one industry to another. Conceptual and people skills are more transferable. It is important to understand, however, that all three kinds of skills need constant updating to be effective.

Managerial work means performing management functions: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. Dividing managerial work into these functions helps us understand it.

These functions, however, are not performed separately. In the real world, they are performed at the same time and are interdependent.

Planning is the management function of preparing a firm to cope with the future. It involves setting the firm’s objectives over a period of time and deciding on methods to achieve these objectives.

There are two types of planning: strategic planning and operational planning. Strategic planning is concerned with a firm’s long-range future and its overall strategy of growth. Top-level managers are responsible for this type of planning.

Operational planning is planning for the day-to-day survival of the firm. Such planning is necessary to implement strategic plans. Middle-and lower-level managers engage mainly in this type of planning.

Organizing is the management function of coordinating people, tasks (or activities), and resources so that a firm can accomplish its objectives. An organization is the structure formed by the process of organizing.

According to the systems concept, a firm consists of a network of interrelationships among its various departments. Each department is a subsystem of the firm. When a firm accepts its social responsibility, it views itself as a subsystem of the larger socioeconomic system.

The more the workers view the firm as a system, the less their actions will conflict.

Staffing is the management function of recruiting, selecting, training, and promoting personnel to fill both managerial and nonmanagerial positions in a firm. The quality of its personnel is a firm’s single most important asset.

Directing is the management function of encouraging subordinates to work toward achieving company objectives. It sometimes is called leading, guiding, motivating, or actuating.

Four basic concepts relate to the directing function. They are: (1) participation, (2) communication, (3) motivation, and (4) leadership.

Controlling is the management function of monitoring operations to see if the firm is achieving its goals. Controlling involves: (1) setting standards of performance, (2) measuring actual performance against the standards, and (3) taking corrective action when significant deviations exist.

First, there must be a standard —a definite idea of what one wants to accomplish.

Second, a manager measures actual performance and compares it to the standard. In some jobs only quantitative results (number of units produced) are important. In other jobs qualitative results (quality of the units produced) are the basis of comparison.

The final element of control is taking corrective action. It is desirable to detect deviations from standards quickly. The longer corrective action takes, the more it will cost.

Passage Eight

The Internet seems to have just arrived, so how can we possibly imagine what will replace it? In truth, early versions of the Net have been around since the 1960s and 70s, but only after the mid-1990s did it begin to have a serious public impact. Since 1994, the population of users has grown from about 13 million to more than 300 million around the world.

What will the Internet be like 20 years from now?

Like the rest of infrastructure, the Internet will eventually seem to disappear by becoming widespread. Most access will probably be via high-speed, low-power radio links. Most handheld, fixed and mobile appliances will be Internet enabled. This trend is already discernible in the form of Internet-enabled cell phones and personal digital assistants. Like the servants of centuries past, our household helpers will chatter with one another and with the outside help.

So many appliances, vehicles and buildings will be online by 2020 that it seems likely there will be more things on the Internet than people. Internet-enabled cars and airplanes are coming online, and smart houses are being built every day. Eventually, programmable devices will become so cheap that we will embed them in the cardboard boxes into which we put other things for storage or shipping. These passive ―computers‖ will be activated as they pass sensors and will be able to both emit and absorb information. Such innovations will facilitate increasingly automatic manufacturing, inventory control, shipping and distribution. Checkout at the grocery store will be fully automatic, as will payment via your digital wallet.

The advent of programmable, mini-scale machines will extend the Internet to things with the size of molecules that can be injected under the skin, leading to Internet-enabled people. Such devices, together with Internet-enabled sensors embedded in clothing, will avoid a hospital stay for medical patients who would otherwise be there only for observation. The speech processor used today in cochlear implants for the hearing impaired could easily be connected to the Internet; listening to Internet radio could soon be a direct computer-to-brain experience!

The Internet will undergo substantial alteration as optical technologies allow the transmission of many trillions of bits per second on each Internet’s fiber-optic backbone network. The core of the network will remain optical, and the edges will use a mix of access technologies, ranging from radio and infrared to optical fiber and the old twisted-pair copper telephone lines.By then, the Internet will have been extended, by means of an interplanetary Internet backbone, to operate in outer space.

How will this pervasive Internet access affect our daily lives? More and more o f the world’s information will be accessible instantly and from virtually anywhere. In an emergency, our health records will be available for remote medical consultation with specialists and perhaps even remote surgery. More and more devices will have access to the global positioning system, increasing the value of geographically indexed databases. Using GPS with speech-understanding software that is emerging today, we will be able to get directions from our Internet as easily as we once got them at a filling station.

Is there any downside to a society suffused with information and the tools to process it?

Privacy will come at a premium. Enormous quantities of data about our daily affairs will flow across the Internet, working to make our lives easier. Despite our preference for giving up privacy in exchange for convenience, our experiences online may make us yearn for the anonymity of the past. Who should have access to our medical records and our financial information, and how will that access be controlled? Will we be able to search and use the vast information stored online without leaving trails across the Net? How will business transactions be taxed, and in what jurisdictions will disputed electronic transactions be resolved? How will intellectual property be protected? How will we prove that contracts were signed on a certain date, or that their terms and conditions have not been electronically altered? There are technical answers for many of these questions, but some will require international agreements before they can be resolved.

Perhaps even more daunting, in the face of Internet-wide virus attacks, is the realization that we will depend in larger and larger measure on the network’s functioning reliably. Making this system of millions of networks robust is a challenge for the present generation of Internet engineers. But I am an optimist and believe we are going to live in a world abundant with information and with the tools needed to use it wisely.

1. The main idea the author tries to convey is that ______.

A. the Internet has already arrived

Passage Nine

During the century the petroleum industry has risen from being relatively small through the stage of being one of many large industries, to a position where whole economies are profoundly influenced by the need for and price of petroleum products. The origins of the industry lie in the product itself.

Petroleum is believed to be produced naturally from dead animals and vegetable matter at the bottoms of shallow seas and swamps. When tiny plants and animals die in the sea, they become trapped in mud and sand. This sediment of mud, sand, and dead organisms slowly becomes thicker and thicker. In a million years, it may become thousands of feet deep. Such layers of sediment are very heavy, and the lower layers are compressed so much that they turn into rock layers. During this time, some of the body tissue of the entrapped organisms is changed into a viscous, sticky liquid that is a mixture of many thousands of different substances. This liquid is called ―petroleum‖ or ―crude oil‖.

In its widest sense, petroleum embraces all hydrocarbons (compounds of hydrogen and carbon) occurring in the earth. In its narrower, commercial sense, petroleum is usually restricted to the liquid deposits known as crude oil, the gaseous ones being known as natural gas and the solid ones as bitumen or asphalt.

Crude oil and gas are the raw materials of the petroleum industry. It is the business of the industry to find them, to retrieve them from the earth on-shore and off-shore, to manufacture useful products from them and to sell the products in the markets of the world.

The twentieth century might be described as preeminently the age of petroleum. Although oil was first commercially exploited on any scale in the late nineteenth century, the twentieth century has seen the development of oil into ―the biggest business‖, the growth of large-scale international petrochemical industry, and the rise of natural gas as a prime source of energy.

In the twentieth century oil and gas is dominant in the total pattern of energy consumption. From this it can be seen that whereas coal, which in the early decades made by far the major contribution, has simply maintained its world production level, oil and natural gas have been the fuels that have met the vastly increased demand for energy as industrialization and world economic development have proceeded.

It is true that the share of oil and gas in the total energy spectrum today shows signs of diminishing. Even so it seems certain that until the year 2010, and probably far beyond, they will continue to play the major role in meeting world requirements.

Customer demand has propelled this growth. The exceptional versatility of crude oil as a base material for the manufacture of a very wide range of products, the convenience and cleanliness in use of oil and gas, their ease of transportation and storage, their relative cheapness since the 1940s, their particular efficiency for such special purposes as providing energy for transportation, raw material for lubricants, and feedstock for the petrochemical industry ... these factors have powerfully stimulated growth and given petroleum major importance in the economies of producer and consumer countries alike.

This enormous expansion has meant that producer countries have become heavily reliant on oil for national revenue and foreign exchange. Venezuela, for example, has for decades relied on

oil exports for more than 90 percent of its foreign exchange. In most consumer countries, oil has also dominated national economies, as a major component of imports and thus substantially affecting balances of payments. Crude oil price increases have significantly contributed to the growth of inflation, and with it recession and mass unemployment. Oil and gas have also provided finance ministers worldwide with a convenient vehicle for tax collecting. Today, virtually everyone in society is affected by the availability and price of oil and gas: directly in terms of domestic use and family transportation; indirectly in relation to jobs and to many other aspects of national economies, whether they are buoyant or in difficulty.

Passage Ten

Whether work should be placed among the cause of happiness or among the cause of unhappiness may perhaps be regarded as a doubtful question. There is certainly much work which is exceedingly weary and an excess of work is always very painful. I think, however, that provided work is not excessive in amount, even the dullest work is to most people less painful than idleness. There are in work all grades, from mere relief of boredom up to the profoundest delight, according to the nature of the work and the abilities of the worker. Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages.

To begin with, it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice,

are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing. And whatever they decide on, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been pleasanter. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level. Moreover the exercise of choice is in itself tiresome. Except to people with unusual initiative it is positively agreeable to be told what to do at each hour of the day, provided the orders are not too unpleasant.

The second advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition. In most work success is measured by income. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much as a desire for success as the extra comforts that a higher income can acquire. However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation, whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle.

1. What is the author’s opinion about work?

A) Work is very tiresome, especially when too excessive.

B) Work is a cause of greater delight of life.

C) Work can at least give relief from boredom.

D) Work can keep rich people busy as if they were poor.

2. Who is the happiest person according to the author?

A) A man who works moderately.

B) A man who works to the extreme.

C) A man who has nothing to do.

D) A man who has many choices.

3. In the author’s opinion, what is the last product of civilization?

A) To work to some extent.

B) To be free from hard work.

C) To make wise use of leisure.

D) To keep oneself busy with trifles (琐事).

4. According to the passage, to be told to do something is generally ______.

A) acceptable B) respectable

C) insulting D) admiring

5. As put by the author, most of the work that most people have to do is ______.

A) not interesting but very rewarding

B) exceedingly dull and always painful

C) delightful but time consuming

D) not worth doing and bearable at all
