Furthermore, these highways generally 22_ large urban centers, which means that they become crowded with 23 traffic during rush hours, 24 the fast, direct way becomes a very slow route.However, ther

11、e is 25 always another route to take 26 you are not in a hurry. Not far from the 27 new superhighways, there are often older, 28 heavily traveled roads which go through the countryside. 29 of these are good two-lane roads; others are uneven roads 30 through the country.

16、ages in this part. Each passage is followed by a number of questions for comprehension. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneMost people do not think of fishes and o

17、ther marine animals as having voices, and of those who are aware of the fact that many of them can speak, few understand that these conversations have significance. Actually, their talk may be as meaningful as much of our own. For example, some sea animals use their voices to locate their food in th

18、e ocean expanses; others, to let their fellows know of their whereabouts; and still others, as a means of obtaining mates. Sometimes, speaking may even mean the difference between life and death to a marine animal. It appears in some cases that when a predator (食肉動物) approaches, the prey depends on

19、no more than the sounds it makes to escape.Fish sounds are important to man, also. By listening to them he can learn a great deal about the habits of the creatures that make them, the size of the schools they form, the patterns of their migrations, and the nature of the environments in which they li

20、ve. He can also apply this information to the more effective utilization of the listening posts he has set up to detect enemy submarines (潛水艇) . A knowledge of fish sounds can avoid confusion and unneeded effort when a new sound is picked up and the sound sentry (崗哨) must decide whether or not to ca

21、ll an alert.36. Among the people who know that many sea animals have voices, few_.A. could understand their conversationsB. realize that they can make speechesC. could understand the significance of their conversationsD. realize that they can communicate37.

24、ferred from the passage?A. Fish sounds cannot be transmitted through air.B. Hearing in fishes is more acute than in people.C. Fishes only speak to communicate with each other.D. Researchers are engaged in studying the significance of fish sounds.Passage TwoWhen Louis Braille was three years old, he

25、became blind in both eyes as the result of an accident in his fathers harness shop. His father, determined that Louis should not suffer the usual fate of blind persons at that time and become a beggar, kept him in the village school until he was ten and then entered him in the institution des Jeunes

26、 Aveugles in Paris. Louis learned to read from the three books engraved in large raised letters in the Institution library. He did exceptionally well both in academic work and at the piano and the organ, and was soon helping to teach the younger children.In 1819, the same year that Louis entered the

27、 Institution, Charles Barbier, an army captain, reported to the Academy of Sciences on a system of raised dots and dashes which enabled soldiers to read messages in the dark. Later, Barbier brought his invention to the Institution. After experimenting with it, young Braille produced a writing system

28、 using only dots, from which he gradually devised 63 separate combinations representing the letters in the French alphabet. At the request of an Englishman, he later added the letter w, accents and punctuation marks, and mathematical signs. Although government bureaucracy prevented immediate officia

29、l adoption, his system was used at the Institution as long as the director, Dr. Pignier, was in office. Pigniers successor insisted on returning to the officially approved former system, but students continued to use Brailles method secretly. Eventually, its superiority was established and it was ad

30、opted throughout France.41. Louis-Braille first learned to read with the aid of _.A. his fatherB. special books at the InstitutionC. the village school teacherD. Captain Barbiers system of dots and dashes42. Louiss father kept him at the village school until he was ten because his father_.A. wanted

31、Louis to help him in the harness shopB. thought it was not worthwhile to have Louis work when he was youngC. did not want Louis to live the same sort of life as that of other blind peopleD. wanted Louis to remain with the family as long as possible43.

34、e itPassage ThreeOne hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of the

35、se credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the cashless society is not on the horizon - its already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they ha

36、ve many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold

37、and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then bemade. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify prefe

38、rred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials

39、 on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.46.

40、edit card enables its owner to_.A. obtain more convenient services than other people doB. exchange foreign currency wherever he wishes toC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes to47.

43、s.B. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.C. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.D. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.Passage FourToo often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotio

44、n, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to ano

45、ther looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectations.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never h

46、as been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. H

47、avinga job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first conside

48、r the type of work which will suit your interest.
