Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B

11、, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1A computer is a machine designed to perform work mathematically and to store and select information that has been fed into it. It is run by either mechanical or electro

12、nic means. These machines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time. A large computer, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiple a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits

13、. It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits. The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistor. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that mi

14、ght take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to work properly, a computer must be given instructions it must be programmed.Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes they can be used to prepare payrolls, guide airplane flights, direct

For example, there are choices about marriage. People can decide whether to get

19、 married or not. Women who have good jobs need not depend on their husbands, so the traditional idea that marriage is the most important job of a womans life is changing.There are more choices about children, too. Many working wives can decide whether and when, if they want, to have children. And th

20、ey dont want to give up work even if they have a child.Perhaps the most important difference today is that so many women work even after they get married. Today most women in Britain without a job either have very young children or are very old. Over half of all married women now have a job, and wom

21、en as a whole make up over one third of the British work force. This has changed marriage; when people get married, the husband and wife have very different roles from, say, fifty years ago. If both husband and the wife work, the woman will expect to be equal with her husband. For example, many youn

22、g husbands are now ready to take their share in doing the housework and looking after the children. And the husband no longer expects to make all the important decisions himself. His wife will, for example, share in decision about money. In some cases the husband wants to stay at home and take care

23、of the children, but usually it is because he cannot find a job. In this case, the wife makes the money for the family, and takes on the traditional male role.26.

28、3 A “typical” British family used to consist of mother, father, and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in society. For example, the law made it easier to get a divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be

29、 of unmarried people, unmarried couples and single parents.Another change has been caused by the fact that people are living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their parents.
