　　IV. 综合(阅读)

　　Directions: There is a passage followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A), B), C) and D), you should choose the One that best answers the question.

　　Representative James Sensenbrenner, chair of the House Science Committee, recently unveiled the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Act. The Act authorizes the doubling of the federal investment in information technology over 5 years; and it makes permanent a research and development tax credit for industry. The bill has the potential to be an important piece of science policy. Unfortunately, it runs the risk of being no more than a political tool to garner(获得;收集) campaign support from high-tech industrialists.

　　No doubt, the support of the hi-tech community is a political prize-Presidential candidate George W. Bush made a 2-day visit to leaders of Silicon Valley and netted a million dollars for his political campaign. Al Gore's recent visit reaped a third of a million. In the meantime, administrative initiatives and legislative proposals from both political parties abound that address the interests of high-tech industries. Representative Sensenbrenner's bill trumps these proposals.

　　If the discussion about Development Act becomes merely political operation, it will be a missed opportunity. Currently, congressional staff comments on the bill focus on software development and increasing access to information technology. That focus is far too narrow. The bill will only be a valuable piece of legislation if it works to maintain the nation's long-term competitiveness in information technology and addresses the key basic research issues that will bedevil the industry 10 years from now.

　　Consider an emerging basic research problem in the information technology industry. The industry's phenomenal growth has been fueled in large part by a public demand for miniaturization and increased processing speed. Although there is every indication that the demand will continue, the technology that is currently under development will be able to keep up with demand for less than a decade. As they say in the industry, "the end of silicon is in sight."With industry focused on immediate competitiveness, the proper role for the federal government is to ensure that an alternative comes into view.

　　Federal investments in materials research, physics, and chemistry are already leading possible alternatives that range from radical single-atom transistors, to optical devices, to exotic chemical fiber switches. Development Act should encourage funding agencies to emphasize and strengthen these basic research areas and, even more important, to explore more alternatives.

　　Basic research problems as challenging as the silicon limit exist for technologies that determine transmission speeds, memory, and lithography. In all these cases, the role of government should be to uncover ideas that have the possibility of overcoming the technological barriers. Then, as industry nears those barriers, it can pursue the most promising possibilities. It is a symbiotic relationship: industry is attentive to immediate market pressures; the federal government makes the riskier investments that assure long-term competitiveness. Industry invests in the presents and the government invests in the future. Legislation should make that difference clear.

　　C) thinks it is meaningless to put forward such proposals

　　D) takes the hints and sings high of the proposals

　　3. According to the text, the role of the government should be to ________.

　　A) help businesses overcome barriers

　　B) make policies in the best interests of research and development

　　16-20 BAAAA 21-25 BBAAC 26-30 ABBAB

　　31-35 BBAAB 36-40 BABAB 41-45 AAABB

　　III. 语法(时态)

　　1. A 条件状语从句中用一般现在时表示将来时间。

　　2. B 动词不定式的完成式表示该动作发生在谓语动词之前。

　　3. D 同上,但主语是the building,所以用被动式。

　　4. B 时间状语从句中用一般现在时表示将来。

　　5. B 现在分词作状语多表示伴随状态,表示分词动作与句子中谓语动词动作同时发生;若分词动作发生在谓语动词动作之前,应用分词的完成时态。

　　6. C 在"would rather, would sooner, would just as soon, might as well, would prefer(宁愿,但愿)"等词后的从句中,用一般过去时表示现在或将来的动作和情况。也可以说是虚拟语气的一种,此处表示与当前事实不符。as he does为信号词。

　　7. A 同上,此处表示对未来的一种愿望,一般不大可能实现。信号词为tomorrow。

　　8. B 在"would rather, would sooner, would just as soon, might as well, would prefer(宁愿,但愿)"等后面的从句中,用过去完成时表示过去的动作和状况。表示与过去事实不符的一种虚拟语气。last week就是该题的信号词。

　　13. A 在句型"It is (It has been)... since"结构中,since之后用过去时。

　　14. D 根据by this year这一短语(将来某时刻),判断出此句要用将来完成时,但for ten years这一表示时间段的介词状语又表明该动作还在继续或刚刚结束,所以要用完成进行时,又由于主句中的谓语动词为过去时,因此,从句应用过去将来完成进行时。

　　15. A 此处的will用在条件句中不表示将来,而表示意愿。

　　16. C 在see to it that / make sure / make certain + that从句中,常用一般现在时表示将来。

　　17. B 同上。

　　18. A 有些动词如tell, hear, say等可用一般现在时表示过去时间,强调现在的事实或结果。

　　19. D 此处if(是否)引导的是宾语从句,而不是条件状语从句。将来进行时可表示委婉、客气。

　　20. C "go"这一动作发生的时间被限制在从现在起至"到达山脚"那一段将来的时间里,因而,要用将来进行时表示这一段时间内将要发生的动作,而不能用表示无限将来的一般将来时。

　　IV. 综合(阅读)

　　1. D 第一段最后一句"Unfortunately, it runs the risk of being no more than a political tool to garner campaign support from high-tech industrialists."提示了答案。

　　2. D 本题的重点是推断trump的含义。从上下文可以推断出trump的意思。另外,从trump的基本意思"为......吹号"也可推断出其意为"sing high of"。
