23、e hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card(信用卡 ). They give their owners automatic(自动的 ) credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these cred
24、it cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw (取回 ) or deposit money in different locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society“ is not on the horizonits already here. While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they hav
25、e many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold a
26、nd how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments(人员安排 ) to be made accordingly. And they also identi
27、fy preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize(强调 ) now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of
28、raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself. Many other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and public utilities(公共事业 ) to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers. 51. According to the
29、 passage, the credit card enables its owner to _. A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B. obtain more convenient services than other people do C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper D. cash money wherever he wishes to 52. From the first paragraph we learn that _. A. in the futur
30、e all the Americans will use credit cards B. credit cards are mainly used in the United State today C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before 53. The phrase “ring up sales“ in line 2 paragraph 2 most probably means _ . A. make an order
31、 of goods B. record sales on a cash register C. call the sales manager D. keep track of the goods in stock 54. What is this passage mainly about? A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers. B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business. C. Significance of automation in commercial ente

B BEIJING， Nov 25， 2005（ Reuters） Chinas home-grown human bird flu vaccine is at least a year away from hitting the market but tests on humans have been approved (批准 ) by the government， head of the research drug company said on Friday Development
33、of the vaccine started last year after bird flu outbreaks in Thailand and Vietnam and animal trials have already been completed， said Yin Wei-dong， managing director of Sinovac Biotech “It is not a virus that is spreading from human to human， so we are very optimistic， ” Yin told Reuters in an inter
34、view The deadly H5N1 made its first known jump to humans in Hong Kong in 1997， killing six people The virus appeared again in late 2003 and is known to have infected 130 people in several parts of Asia， killing 68 of them “It is not decided yet when the human trials will begin We just got approval o
35、n November 22 by the State Food and Drug Administration， ” Yin said Oregon， Nov 26,2005（ AP） The deadly strain of bird flu that appeared in Asia and has already spread to other parts of the world has not affected the Oregon poultry (家禽 ) industry or consumers， according to Oregon State University re
36、searchers There are many strains of bird flu that do not usually infect humans But one strain， called H5N1， has jumped from chickens to humans and is blamed for more than 60 deaths in Asia International disease control experts are worried about a worldwide outbreak of bird flu，raising concerns such
37、as whether it is safe to eat poultry But Oregon State University researchers say there is no proof that the virus can jump to humans by eating cooked poultry products “Consumers neednt be overly concerned about bird flu， ” said Jim Hermes， OSU Extension Service poultry specialist But he urged consum
38、ers to follow standard food safety practices in preparing poultryincluding washing hands while preparing food， and proper cooking of poultry meat and eggs He noted that a 2003 outbreak of bird virus caused much damage to commercial poultry operations in California but did not get into Oregon because
39、 of industry safeguards 55 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the first news report? A Human trials have already started but not yet successful B Bird flu killed 68 Asian people in its second outbreak C The bird flu virus is not one that spreads from human to human D The gove
40、rnment has agreed to have the vaccine tried on humans 56 What does the first news report mainly talk about? A The new outbreak of the bird flu B How the development of the bird flu vaccine is going on C How many people died of bird flu D What measures the government has taken to stop the spreading o
41、f bird flu 57 What does the underlined word “strains” probably mean? A signs B symbols C kinds D diseases 58 What can we know from the second news report? A Because of the safety guards， Oregon poultry industry didnt suffer any loss in the 2003 outbreak of bird flu B People in Oregon are not concern
42、ed about bird flu C People will develop bird flu even if they eat well-cooked poultry products D H5N1 has caused more than 60 deaths worldwide C Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for employment. Years of studying interviewing have made it cl
43、ear that it is not a very objective(客观的 ) process. Personnel officers often hire the person they like best, or even the one they think most physically attractive. Looking good is no guarantee(保证 ) of doing the job well, however. Uglies or those who are aesthetically(审美地 )challenged, lose heart. To g
44、et a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests to hire both for relatively daily jobs and for positions at senior levels of management. It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the UK for 2004 were over 1.5 million. The basic r
45、eason employers use tests is clear: tests claim(声称 ) to be scientific and objective. A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection. Peoples judgements are often very subjective: whether they like the look of someone counts for more th
46、an almost anything else. But reliable and valid(有效的 ) effective tests can offer rapid and more objective information about a would be employee. If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate, an employer is likely to think t
47、wice about hiring him. Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game-like test. You can spend just a little in answering questions of that kind of test, and you deny the answers and say they are not accurate. But you cannot go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and removed again and again. 59. In the past, who would be sure to be employed after an interview? A. The person who was well educated. B. The person who had great abilities. C. The person who was ph
