Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people tobecome “computer -literate.”But not a1l experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.

One pioneer,in particular,who disagrees is David Tebbutt,the founder of Computertown UK.Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer,David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason,to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate.”

David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two.The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already.This frightens away non-experts,who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on,with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have.They are not told what to do,they find out.The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers,but have to be able to answer all questions people ask.People don't have to learn computer terms (术语),but the experts have to explain in plain language.The computers are becoming“people-literate.”

41.Which of the following is Devid Tebbutt's idea on the relationship between people and computers?

A. Computer learning should be made easier.

B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.

C. People should work harder to master c0mputer use.

D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.

42. We can infer from the text that “computer-literate” means ________.

A. being able to afford a computer      B. being able to write computer programs

C. working with the computer and finding out its value

D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it

43. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns ___________.

A. help to set up more computer clubs.    B. bring people to learn to use computers

C. bring more experts to work together   D. help to sell computers to the public

44. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of ________.

B

When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you,saying: “We have to go to work now,” you're left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy.After all,this is the l990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable.That is,until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools,and that the“work”they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.

Stage schools often act as agencies (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work.More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time,with a training for the theatre and a general education.

A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves.After all,what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work,and acting,singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?

Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows.Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age.But the law is very tight on the amount they can do.Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.

The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained.So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.

45. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they're talking to ________.

A. attend a stage school          B. are going to the theatre

C. have got some work to do        D. love singing and dancing

46. In the writer's opinion,a good stage school should ________.

A. produce star performers.         B. help pupils improve their study skills

C. train pupils in language and performing arts

D. provide a general education and stage training

47.“Professional work”as used in the text means ________.

A. ordinary school work          B. money-making performances

C. stage training at school         D. acting,singing or dancing after class

48. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?

A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.

B. He favours an early start in the training of performing arts.

C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.

D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.

Decision-thinking is not unlike poker ---- it often matters not only what you think,but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think.The mental process(过程)is similar.Naturally,this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are,by any standards,good thinkers.

The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory.In particular,he showed that all games fall into two classes: there are what he called games of “perfect information”,games like chess where the players can' t hide anything or play tricks: they don't win by chance,but by means of logic and skills. Then there are games of “imperfectinformation”,like poker,in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.

One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information.Quite the reverse.Business,politics,life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information.Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors (因素) which would even puzzle (困惑) best poker players.But few business People find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance,and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess,not poker.

49. The subject discussed in this text is ________.

A. the process of reaching decisions    B. the difference between poker and chess

C. the secret of making good business plans D. the value of information in winning games

50. An important factor in a game of imperfect information is.

A. rules.              B. luck.            C. time.         D. ideas.

51. Which of the following can be used in place of “Quite the reverse”?

A. Quite right.         B.True enough.  C. Most unlikely    D. Just the opposite

52. In the writer's opinion, when making business decisions one should ________.

A. put perfect information before imperfect information

B. accept the existence of unknown factors

C. regard business as a game of chess     D. mix known and unknown factors

D

College Syudents Today

In 1972 the American Council on Education (美国教育委员会) published forty pages of facts about college freshmen (新生)in the United States.The facts had been obtained (获得)from thousands of students in their first year of university study by asking such questions as these:

1. How old will you be on December 31 of this year?

2. How many miles is this college from your parents' home?

3. Where did you live while you were growing up?

4. Are your parents still living,and are they still married to each other?

5. How would you describe your present political views?

The answers to these questions indicated that seventy-eight percent of the freshmen were eighteen years old,and fourteen percent were nineteen.It is quite unusual for a freshman to be younger than eighteen or older than nineteen.

More than half of the freshmen were studying in colleges far from their parents' home; only forty percent were within a distance of forty miles from home.

The report indicated that most college students had grown up in or near cities.About one-fifth of the freshmen reported that they had been brought up on small towns;only seventy percent came from fram families.

Rather surprisingly,the report showed that camparatively few of the freshmen (eight percent)had parents who were divorced(离婚的)or separated.In most cases,both parents were still alive and still married to each other.

Politically,more than a third of the students described their views as“liberal(自由主义的人).” Only sixteen percent considered themselves“corservative(保守的,守旧的).”The largest group,however,were the forty-six percent who described their politics as “middle of the road”.Very few called their political views”far left”or”far right”.

When asked how they were paying for their education,almost a third of the freshman said they had part-time jobs or were working during the summer vocation.For a few,scholarships were sources of support.However,fifty-six percent of the students depended upon their parents to pay their college bills.For many of these families a college education was something new.Less than half of the freshmen's fathers had ever tended college themselves.

53. ________ of the college freshmen in the United States were eighteen to nineteen years old.

A. Seventy eight percent  B.Fourteen percent   C. Ninety-two percent   D. Few

54. How many college students came from small towns?
