A Pay Rise or Not?
"Unless I get a rise, I'll have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley," George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving some where else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.
Henry manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises（加工资）for his workers. Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him. Manley rubbed his forehead（前额）; his problems seemed endless.
16 Henry Manley was already deeply indebt.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

19 Henry Manley's company was in deep trouble.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
20 Henry Manley's company was making enough profits to raise the workers' wages.

第一篇
Football
Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting and cheering for one side or the other.
One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you, with a great air of authority, who he expects will win such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.
Most schools in England take football seriously - much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all-important（至关重要的）, and games are left for private arrangements. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in a classroom; education also means character training. One of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, it is good exercise for the body, it needs skill and a quick brain, it is popular and it is cheap. As a result, it is the school's favorite game in the winter.
31 In England football is a game enjoyed
A only by young people.
B only by rich people.
C only by boys.
D by people of all ages and classes.
32 A stranger in England will be surprised to find that in that country
A people have little knowledge of football.
B girls are more interested in football than boys.
C even small boys know a lot about football.
D children are not interested in football at all.
33 There is a great difference between schools in England and those in Europe in that
A European schools take football seriously.
B European schools often arrange football matches for their pupils.
C schools in England care little about lessons.
D schools in England believe character training to be part of education.
34 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true of the football game?
A It makes people selfish.
B It encourages cooperation.
C It is good for health.
D It is not expensive.
35 What is the author's attitude towards the football game in England?
A Critical.
B Positive.
C Negative.
D Doubtful.

Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big Difference
Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky.1 When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to. Children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.
Most student leaders don't want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon's operations officer for two years.
Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations.2 She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining.
At large universities like Fangmeyer's, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".
Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey's findings. "I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends."
All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren't thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to 'fatten up their resume'," said Heitner. "At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles."
But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up3 for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university's complicated bureaucracy.
"Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference," Fangmeyer said.
36. An extracurricular activity like raising a fund of $300,000 is risky because most student leaders
A） are lazy.
B） are stupid.
C） are not rich enough.
D） wilt not take an interest in it.
37. American students join campus organizations mostly for
A） making a difference.
B） gaining experience.
C） building friendship.
D） improving their resumes.
38. Who is Katie Rowley?
A） She's a senior professor.
B） She's a senior student.
C） She's a senior official.
D） She's a senior citizen
39. What do student leaders need to carry an activity through to a successful end?
A） Passion.
B） Money.
C） Power.
D） Fame.
40. The phrasal verb fatten up in paragraph 6 could be best replaced by
A） invent.
B） rewrite.
C） polish.
D） complete.

Robot
Robot. It is a word that seems very modern. A word that creates a strong mental picture. A picture of something that looks and acts like a human. Robots are not human, of course. They are machines.
The word robot, and robots themselves, are less than 100 years old. But humans have been dreaming of real and imaginary copies of themselves for thousands of years. Early people made little human statues out of clay. And they cut wood and stone to look like humans.
What is the future of robots? The goal of scientists is to create a true human-like robot. Some experts have described this robot of the future as one that can act independently with the physical world through its own sense and actions. Humans have the ability to see, hear, speak and solve problems. Engineers have built robots that have one or two of these abilities. But it takes a number of big expensive computers to make the robots work.
The biggest problem in creating a human-like robot is copying human intelligence. The way the human mind works is almost impossible to copy. A simple computer can do mathematical problems far beyond the ability of even the smartest human mind. But the human mind is better than a thousand supercomputers at speaking, hearing and problems-solving. Several American and Japanese companies are working to develop the senses of sight and touch for robots. The development of these senses will make robots much more useful.
However, the most important human ability——the most difficult to copy—— is problem-solving. An intelligent robot must be able to change the way it acts when it faces an unexpected situation. Humans do it al the time. Computers must do it for robots. This means computers must have a huge base of information about many things. They must be able to find quickly the needed information in their systems. And they must make choices about how to act. So far, this is beyond the ability of computers.
41. According to the passage, however intelligent a robot may be, it
A. acts as an ordinary machine
B. is viewed as a modern myth
C. is regarded as a human being
D. is nothing but a machine
42. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the second paragraph?
A. Robot does not last long
B. The early men made toys themselves
C. Man has a desire to make a copy of himself
D. The materials for making a copy of man are limited
43. From the third paragraph, we can know that
A. there has not been a true human-like robot yet.
B. computers in the robots are expensive.
C. robots may do what they are told.
D. robots have been designed to work independently.
44. According to the passage, why human intelligence has not been copied in the making of robot?
A. Computers can only do mathematical problems better than human beings.
B. Technology is not advanced enough to know how human minds work.
C. Scientists are satisfied to have the robot with senses of sight and touch.
D. Robots with human intelligence will be dangerous to human beings.
45. In order to enable the intelligent robot to deal with an unexpected situation, the computers in it must do the following things EXCEPT
A. having a large amount of information
B. making choices about how to act
C. studying the situation carefully
D. finding the information quickly
