13、pher and war-hero.Turing was born in London on June 23, 1912. He studied mathematics at Cambridge University in the 1930s and after graduating he became a researcher at the university, where he began developing his ideas for what was later called the “Turing Machine”.During World War II Turing joine

14、d the army as part of a team responsible for breaking the codes used by the German armies for their communications. Using his knowledge of mathematics and computing principles, Turing constructed a machine which could interpret these mysterious messages, giving the British access to thousands of the

15、 German war plans and secrets. Many think it helped shorten the war by several years, saving millions of lives.After the war, Turing returned to developing the design of the “Turing Machine”, the first modern computer. During the 1940s and 1950s most computers were designed for a single purpose. Tur

16、ings revolutionary idea was to build a machine that could do anything, a multi-purpose computer, something that we consider common today. Turing completed his design but his colleagues thought it was too difficult to construct so the Turing Machine was never built in his lifetime.The method of instr

17、ucting the computer was the key to Turing's idea. He described a machine which knew three simple instructions: sequence, selection and repetition. Making the computer perform any task was simply a matter of breaking the task down into steps using a combination ofthese instructions. This principl

18、e remains the basis of almost all computer programming up to this day.Turing also developed what is now known as the “Turing Test” of computer intelligent. The test consisted of a person asking questions via keyboard to both a person and an intelligent machine. Turing believed that if the person ask

19、ing the questions could not tell the difference between the machines answers and the person after a reasonable amount of time, the machine was somewhat intelligent.Tragically, Turing took his own life in 1954, aged just 41. Many books have been written and several movies made about his life and the

20、annual “Turing Award”, established in 1966 and named in his honour, is considered the Noble Prize of computing.26. When did Turing first develop his interest in computers?A. When he was in high school. B. While he was at Cambridge University.C. During his time as a code-breaker. D. At the end of the

21、 Second World War.27. Which of the following statements about Turing is true?A. He is actually unknown outside of the computer community.B. He designed and built the first multi-purpose computer.C. His ideas are still considered important in modern computer design.D. He developed the Turing Testwhil

22、e still a student at Cambridge.28. How did Turnings design differ from other computers of his day?A. It used a series of basic instructions. B. It could perform a variety of functions.C. It was far simpler to construct. D. It was the first to use a keyboard.29. What was the purpose of the Turing Tes

23、t?A. To determine if computers were intelligent. B. To compare the abilities of men and machines.C. To judge the performance of multi-purpose computers. D. To measure the IQ of machines.30. Where can Turings influence on computing be most clearly seen today?A. In the method of computer programming.

24、B. In the evaluation of computer performance.C. In the functionality of computer systems. D. In the process of system design.BA recent international survey found that around 75% of the world's best universities, such as MIT, Harvard and Princeton are in the US.But while US universities are very

25、good at producing research and raising money, they arent so good at supplying the needs of the US high-skill labour market so America relies on educated talent from elsewhere. Take the example of medical education. The US simply does not train enough doctors to meet its needs. Each year many more do

26、ctors retire than graduate from itsmedical schools and the US robs the world to make up the difference.25% of doctors working in the US received their training elsewhere. That is close to 200,000 doctors educated abroad. Around 5,000 were trained in Africa; mainly Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, bu

27、t also elsewhere. In 2002, there were 47 Liberian-trained doctors working in the US, and just 72 working in Liberia. The poorest always lose out.In most countries, especially in the developing world, doctors are trained at public expense. If a doctor from Ghana is taken to the US, not only does that

28、 country lose its doctor, it loses the money paid for the training. That means the worlds poorest people are paying for the health care of the worlds richest people.Why cant the US supply its own needs? After all, doctors in the US are not exactly badly paid. But training is long, difficult, and, of

29、 course, expensive. A newly trained doctor graduates with about $200,000 of debt. Unlike lawyers and bankers, of which there are no American shortages, doctors lack the opportunities to earn huge salaries immediately and pay it all back.Also, there is no central government planning for university ed

30、ucation in America making it more difficult to create new medical colleges.So while we look with envy at the wealth and achievements of the top American universities, we should bear in mind that not all is as well as it seems. In fact, it may be that the weakness of the US higher education system is

31、 contributing to the health and development crisis in some of the worlds poorest regions.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The high standards of universities in the United States.B. The quality of doctors produced byAmerican universities.C. Medical training provided atAmerican Universities.D.

32、The quantity of doctors produced byAmerican universities.32. How many doctors working in America come fromAfrica?A. 5,000. B. 25%. C. 200 000. D. 15%.33. Why does the author think getting doctors fromAfrica is not good?A. Their education level is not as good as American trained doctors.B. The cost o

33、f bringing them to America is more than training local doctors.C. It takes valuable skills away from some of the worlds poorest countries.D. The African doctors are poorly paid compared to the American doctors.34. Which is NOT a reason given for the lack of locally trained doctors in America?A. Doct

34、ors salaries are not very high in America.B. People can earn big money more quickly in other professions.C. It is difficult to create new medical schools in America.D. Training is long and very expensive.35. The underlined word it in Paragraph 4 refers to _.A. the developing world B. the US universi

35、ty systemC. the country of Ghana D. the countrysideCBritains most popular lie has been discovered, with one in four people admitting using “Sorry I had no signal” when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.According to a recent survey people usually use this little white lie after the

36、y hit the “ignore” button when their mobile rang. The second most common fib is “I havent got any cash on me” when asked for money by beggars. Modern technology is a major excuse in many of our lies with “I didnt get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in26th plac

37、e.Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. One in three Britons have lied about their weight, a quarter have fibbed about the amount of debt they are in and 30 per cent have bent the truth about the amount of exercise they do.Almost a quart

38、er of men have told their wife or girlfriend they look good in an outfit, despite thinking the opposite. More than 40 per cent of women have admitted lying about how much new clothes actually cost while 30 per cent have fibbed about how much theyve had to drink.Three quarters of people think women a

39、re better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men. Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.A spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults, said, “As a nation we are

40、 obsessed with trying to be nice and not upsetting people. Often little white lies are used to cover what we actually want to say.”“Most of these were considered either completely harmless or necessary depending on the situation in which they are delivered.” He added, “It was sad to see a string of

41、compliments in the top 50, but once again in many cases perhaps it is better to compliment with a fib than destroy someone with the truth.”36. What is the best title for the passage?A. The most popular British lies B. British people like to lieC. The reasons British people lie D. Technology makes us

42、 lie37. According to the research, what do women most frequently lie about?A. Their weight. B. The amount of their debt.C. Their drinking habits. D. The cost of their clothing.38. Which of the following statement is true according to the research?A. Three quarters of women are better liars. B. Men l

43、ie more often than women.C. More men are better liars than women. D. More women lie than men.39. The underlined phrase “obsessed with” is closest in meaning to _.A. very concerned with B. surprised aboutC. opposed to D. not interested in40. Why do people usually lie according to the OnePoll?A. To pr

44、event argument with their partners. B. To avoid speaking with others on the phone.C. To avoid hurting others. D. To destroy others.DProfessional footballers in the USA can make millions of dollars throughout their careers. Yet statistics show that many eventually run out of money once their playing

45、days are over. The University of Pennsylvania wants to change that and help teach American footballers how to rebuild their lives when their sports careers come to an end.“All their life they have focused on football. Deciding what comes next can be difficult.” says professor Morvarid Taheripour, th

46、e head of the athletes project. “Some people say athletes die two deaths. You kind of die when you stop playing and you die in real life. So theyve got to come back to life and figure out How am I going to make a living at 25 for maybe another 40 years?”For Taheripour, the partnership with professio

47、nal athletes is a dream come true. “It was taking everything I love about teaching and yet being able to influence people who are accomplished and hard-working, yet very modest.”But even with help, figuring out the next chapter isnt easy. Statistics show that 78 percent of professional football play

48、ers are penniless, divorced or unemployed two years after retiring from their sport. The program tries to help players develop a plan for life after sport and 220 athletes have taken part over the past six years.Darwin Walker is one former student who avoided being a statistic. Today, he runs a numb

49、er of successful businesses and thanks football for his accomplishments. “The concepts I learned about leadership have all come from playing the game of football,” says Walker. “The amount of study, amount of commitment, and time that you have to put into it is very much like being a successful busi

50、ness person.”Shifting the skills learned on the field to the workplace seems natural to some, but the numbers show thats not the case for everyone. Taheripours message to his students is a serious one: This is the time to build for the future, he tells them, because no matter how long your athletic

51、career lasts, you are so much more than just an athlete.41. By saying “athletes die two deaths”, the author means _.A. athletes suffer too many failures in their life B. athletes have a sports life and a real lifeC. being an athlete contributes little to life D. athletes later life can be easily reb

52、uilt42. Why is it difficult for professional athletes to decide what comes next?A. They might have not thought of this during their playing days.B. They have no idea whether to leave the game or not.C. They think as athletes they can make more money.D. Theyre not willing to accept a new career.43. W

53、hat does Darwin Walker manage to avoid?A. Making his sports career come to an end. B. Being unsuccessful in rebuilding his life.C. Going through the problem. D. Making a difference.44. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The longer an athletes career lasts, the more respect he receives.B. An athle

54、te should end his career earlier to build his new life.C. An athlete should think about more than his athletic career.D. An athletes sports career couldnt last long.45. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. teach athletes how to manage their money B. show reader how to make a livingC. ask athletes t

55、o finish their sports career earlierD. introduce a project helping retired athletes第二節(jié)信息匹配（共5 小題；每小題2 分，滿分10 分）請閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應(yīng)題號的相應(yīng)選項字母涂黑。首先，閱讀以下關(guān)于不同顏色的作用的描述。A.
