It is really extraordinary that after all these years, educationalists have still failed
26、to design anything more useful and dependable than examinations. Even many people believe that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the opposite. They may. be a good means of testing memory, or the skill of working rapidly under great pressure, but they can
27、 tell you nothing about a persons true ability. As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the signs of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in once fateful day. It doesnt matter that you werent feeling very we
28、ll, or something unhappy happened. Little things like that are not considered: the examination goes on. No one can give his best when he is not feeling very well, or after a sleepless night, yet this is exactly what the examination system expects him to do. The moment a child begins school he enters
29、 a world of competition where success and failure are clearly decided and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of “drop-outs“: young people are written off as complete failures before they have even started a job. 56. According to the writer, the methods of testing a persons knowledge an
30、d ability _. A. are very modem B. are not useful C. remain unchanged D. are not dependable 57. Which is not mentioned in the second paragraph? A. Examinations may cause greater anxiety than anything else. B. Examinations may increase the number of drop-outs. C. Examinations may decide a students fut
31、ure. D. Examinations are worldwide accepted as the mark of success. 58. The underlined word “drop-outs“ in the passage probably refers to _. A. top students B. school graduates C. painstaking students D. unsuccessful students 59. According to the passage, which of the following can express the write
32、rs opinion? A. Examinations are kind of competition. B. Examinations are good means of testing memory and skills. C. Examinations are good methods of training painstaking students. D. Examinations are imperfect methods of testing knowledge and ability. B At one time, computers were expected largely
33、to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件 ) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper. It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet
34、-connected computers , although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down,“ says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organisation. Perhaps the best sig
35、n of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlet
36、t-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the gre
37、ater demand for printers. Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “ I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用), “ s
38、aid Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such a
39、s agricultural waste. 60The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to . Athe rapid development of small businesses Bthe opening up of new markets Cthe printing of high quality copies Dthe increased use of the Internet 61Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the
40、paper situation is . Ato encourage printing more quality documents Bto develop new printers using recycled paper Cto find new materials for making paper Dto plant more fast growing trees 62Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because . Apeople are concerned about the environme
41、nt Bprinters in many offices are working overtime Csmall companies need more hard copies Dthey see a growing market for printers 63What would be the best title for the text ? AComputers and Printers BE-mail and the Business World CInternet Revolution and Environment DModern Technology and New Market
42、s C The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A nsw law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised ); and oil companies have not been allowed to e
43、mploy more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry h a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government wiil be able to hold things back for long. Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north o
44、f the Arctic Circle. For the past few years this program has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern
45、 city could be in ruins. The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a developing situation in which the service industries and the tourist industry wiil lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller
46、industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad. The real argument over oil industry is its effects on the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians see in t
47、hem many of the qualities that they regard with pride as real Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most against the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the sea and to the countryside and to the whole country. One Norwegian politician said: “ We will soon b
48、e changed beyond all recognition.“ 64. “ We will soon be changed beyond all recognition “ in the last paragraph most exactly means A. Norway will be changed so much that it can hardly be recognized. B. The Norwegian way of life will change greatly, as we recognized. C. We cannot recognize the Norwegian oil industry as it develops so
