1、Bbjsbxq大学英语四级模拟试题1七夕,古今诗人惯咏星月与悲情。吾生虽晚,世态炎凉却已看透矣。情也成空,且作“挥手袖底风”罢。是夜,窗外风雨如晦,吾独坐陋室,听一曲尘缘,合成诗韵一首,觉放诸古今,亦独有风韵也。乃书于纸上。毕而卧。凄然入梦。乙酉年七月初七。-啸之记。 assage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Design of all the new tools and implements is based on careful experiments with electronic instrument
2、s. First, a human “guinea pig” is tested using a regular tool. Measurements are taken of the amount of work done, and the buildup of heat in the body. Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well, it has been found, as joints and muscles in their normal positions. The same person is
3、then tested again, using a tool designed according to the suggestions made by Dr. Tichauer. All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old.One of the electronic instruments used by Dr. Tichauer, the myograph (肌动记器), makes visible through electrical signals the work
4、done by human muscle.Another machine measures any dangerous features of tools, thus proving information upon which to base a new design. One conclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to use than one with four legs.This work has attracted the atte
5、ntion of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineer, but its value goes far beyond that. Dr. Tichauers first thought is for the health of the tool user. With the repeated use of the same tool all day long on production lines and in other jobs, even light manual work can put a heavy stress
6、 on one small area of the body. In time, such stress can cause a disabling disease. Furthermore, muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard.Efficiency is the by-product of comfort, Dr. Tichauer believes, and his new designs for traditional tools have proved his point.21. What are involved in the desi
7、gn of a new tool according to the passage?A) Electronic instruments and a regular tool.B) A human “guinea pig” and a regular tool.C) Electronic instruments and a human “guinea pig”.D) Electronic instruments, a human “guinea pig” and a regular tool.22. From the passage we know that joints and muscles
8、 perform best when _.A) they are twisted and stretchedB)they are in their normal positionsC) they are tested with a human “guinea pig”D) they are tested with electronic instruments23. A “myograph” (Para. 2, Line 1) is an electronic instrument that _.A) is able to design new toolsB) measures the amou
9、nt of energy usedC) enable people to see the muscular movementsD) visualizes electrical signals24. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A) a stepladder used to have four legs.B)it is dangerous to use toolsC) a tripod is safer in a tool designD) workers are safer on production lines25. Dr. Tich
10、auer started his experiments initially to _.A) improve efficiencyB)increase productionC) reduce work loadD) improve comfortQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information tha
11、t exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. Its easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no o
12、ne checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But its disturbing to note how many of the crimes
13、we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminal
14、s sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out tha
15、t their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (诈骗) the most confidential (保密)records right under the noses of the companys executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the reco
16、mmendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere. 26. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB)people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC) computer criminals escape punishment because they cant be detectedD) compu
17、ter crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions27. It is implied in the third paragraph that _.A) most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB)the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough

19、ies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputationD) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information29. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B)They may walk away and easily find another

21、to get good recommendations from their former employersD) why computer crimes cant be eliminatedQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notio
22、ns of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and indecision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation i
23、n a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”. If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less important and that has happened in some cases we are as badly off as before, only in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American fami
24、ly. We are getting a little tired of “Momism” but we dont want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are
25、becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a womans place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyse mans place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in i
26、t. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism(命令主义)has unhappy consequences, whe
