　　Passage1

　　Take the case of public education alone. The principal difficulty faced by the schools has been the tremendous increase in the number of pupils. This has been caused by the advance of the legal age for going into industry and the impossibility of finding a job even when the legal age has been reached. In view of the technological improvements in the last few years, business will require in the future proportionately fewer workers than ever before. The result will be still further raising of the legal age for going into employment, and still further difficulty in finding employment when that age has been attained. If we cann't put our children to work, we must put them in school.

　　We may also be quite confident that the present trend toward a shorter day and a shorter week will be maintained. We have developed and shall continue to have a new leisure class. Already the public agencies for adult education are swamped by the tide that has swept over them since depression began. They will be little better off when it is over. Their support must come from the taxpayer.

　　It is surely too much to hope that these increases in the cost of public education can be borne by the local communities. They cann't care for the present restricted and inadequate system. The local communities have failed in their efforts to cope with unemployment. They cannot expect to cope with public education on the scale on which we must attempt it. The answer to the problem of unemployment has been Federal relief. The answer to the problem of public education may have to be much the same, and properly so. If there is one thing in which the citizens of all parts of the country have an interest, it is in the decent education of the citizens of all parts of the country. Our income tax now goes in part to keep our neighbors alive. It may have to go in part as well to make our neighbors intelligent. We are now attempting to preserve the present generation through Federal relief of the destitute (贫民). Only a people determined to ruin the next generation will refuse such Federal funds as public education may require.

　　1. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A) How to persuade local communities to provide more funds.

　　B) How to cope with the shortage of funds for public education.

　　C) How to solve the rising unemployment problem.

　　D) How to improve the public education system.

　　2. What is the reason for the increase in the number of students?

　　A) The requirement of educated workers by business.

　　B) Raising of the legal age for going to work.

　　C) The trend toward a shorter workday.

　　D) People's concern for the future of the next generation.

　　3. The public agencies for adult education will be little better off because ________.

　　A) the unemployed are too poor to continue their education

　　B) a new leisure class has developed

　　C) they are still suffering from the depression

　　D) an increase in taxes could be a problem

　　4. According to the author, the answer to the problem of public education is that the Federal government ________.

　　A) should allocate Federal funds for public education

　　B) should demand that local communities provide support

　　C) should raise taxes to meet the needs of public education

　　D) should first of all solve the problem of unemployment

　　5. Why does the author say "Only a people determined to ruin the next generation will refuse such Federal funds as public education may require?"

　　A) Only by appropriating adequate Federal funds for education can the next generation have a bright future.

　　B) Citizens of all parts of the country agree that the best way to support education is to use Federal funds.

　　C) People all over the country should make contributions to education in the interest of the next generation.

　　D) Educated people are determined to use part of the Federal funds to help the poor.

　　Passage2

　　A new high-performance contact lens under development at the department for applied physics at the University of Heidelberg will not only correct ordinary vision defects but will enhance normal night vision as much as five times, making people's vision sharper than that of cats.

　　Bille and his team work with an optical instrument called an active mirror-a device used in astronomical telescopes to spot newly emerging stars and far distant galaxies. Connected to a wave-front sensor that tracks and measures the course of a laser beam into the eye and back, the aluminum mirror detects the deficiencies of the cornea, the transparent protective layer covering the lens of the human eye. The highly precise data from the two instruments-which, Bille hopes, will one day be found at the opticians (眼镜商) all over the world-serve as a basis for the production of completely individualized contact lenses that correct and enhance the wearer's vision.

　　By day, Bille's contact lenses will focus rays of light so accurately on the retina (视网膜)that the image of a small leaf or the outline of a far distant tree will be formed with a sharpness that surpasses that of conventional vision aids by almost half a diopter (屈光度). At night, the lenses have an even greater potential. "Because the new lens-in contrast to the already existing ones-also works when it's dark and the pupil is wide open," says Bille, "lens wearers will be able to identify a face at a distance of 100 meters"-80 meters farther than they would normally be able to see. In his experiments night vision was enhanced by an even greater factor: in semi-darkness, test subjects could see up to 15 times better than without the lenses.

　　Bille's lenses are expected to reach the market in the year 2000, and one tentative plan is to use the Internet to transmit information on patients' visual defects from the optician to the manufacturer, who will then produce and mail the contact lenses within a couple of days. The physicist expects the lenses to cost about a dollar a pair, about the same as conventional one-day disposable lenses.

　　1. The new contact lens is meant for ________.

　　A) astronomical observations

　　B) the night blind

　　C) those with vision defects

　　D) optical experiments

　　2. What do the two instruments mentioned in the second paragraph refer to?

　　A) The astronomical telescope and the wave-front sensor.

　　B) The aluminum mirror and the laser beam.

　　C) The active mirror and the contact lens.

　　D) The aluminum mirror and the wave-front sensor.

　　3. Individualized contact lenses (Para.2) are lenses

　　designed ________.

　　A) to work like an astronomical telescope

　　B) to suit the wearer's specific needs

　　C) to process extremely accurate data

　　D) to test the wearer's eyesight

　　4. According to Bille, with the new lenses the wearer's vision ________.

　　A) will be far better at night than in the daytime

　　B) may be broadened about 15 times than without them

　　C) can be better improved in the daytime than at night

　　D) will be sharper by a much greater degree at night than in the daytime

　　5. Which of the following is true about Bille's lenses?

　　A) Their production process is complicated.

　　B) They will be sold at a very low price.

　　C) They have to be replaced every day.

　　D) Purchase orders can be made through the Internet.

　　IV. 综合 (阅读)

　　Passage1

　　本文内容提要:因为科技的进步,需要的劳动力减少,学生到了法定工作年龄还不能找到工作,只好继续上学。上学的人数增加了,公共教育的费用由谁来承担呢?地方政府是不行的,这个担子只能落在国家福利部门的头上了。不过羊毛出在羊身上,政府福利的钱是来自于纳税人。人们交的税不仅要让穷人们活下去,现在还要让他们接受教育。

　　1. B)。本文先是论述教育经费不足,接着指出解决办法。

　　2. B)。见第一段的倒数第二句话。

　　3. B)。 我们知道,大萧条造成了许多人的失业,这些失业的人说得直接一点叫做the unemployed(失业人员),说得好听一点,就叫做leisure class(休闲一族)。

　　4. A)。见第三段的倒数第四、五两句话。全文没有一句提到提高税率,因此C)不是正确选项。

　　5. C)。这句话的意思是说,只有一个决意毁掉下一代的民族才会拒绝这种公共教育所需要的政府基金。言外之意,就是说,为了下一代,人人都应当为这种基金,为教育做出点贡献。

　　Passage 2

　　本文内容提要:这是一篇科普性的说明文,介绍了正在研制中的一种高科技隐形眼镜及其工作原理。这种眼镜既能纠正视力缺陷,又能提高人们的夜视能力。

　　1. C)。从第一段的"not only correct ordinary vision defects"和最后一段第一句话中的"...patients' visual defects..."可以看出,这种眼镜的主要对象还是people with vision defects。

　　2. D)。从the two instruments 前面的这句话可以看出,其中的一个instrument 是the aluminum mirror,状语中有connected to a wave-front sensor,显然第二个instrument 就是这个wave-front sensor 了。

　　3. B)。individualized 即个性化的意思。根据从句中that correct and enhance the wearer's vision 可知这种眼镜对视力既能纠正又能提高(correct and enhance),可以推断出,对某些人它可能提高的作用更大一些。因此能适用不同的人的不同的需要。

　　4. D)。见第三段第二句话"At night, the lenses have an even greater potential"及其以后所引用的话。这里是说,戴这种眼镜的人白天和黑夜的视力都会提高,但在晚上提高的程度更高。作者并没有比较白天和夜晚的视力,比较的是提高的程度。所以A)项的内容不正确。

　　5. B)。B)、D)似乎都有道理,需要认真考虑。先看B),文章的最后一句话说这种眼镜预期价格是每副1 美元,大约相当于普通的一次性眼镜的钱,确实是非常便宜了。因此,B)很有道理。再来看D),本段的第一句话说一个可行的计划是利用Internet 传送信息给客户,厂家制造并邮寄眼镜,并没明确指出客户如何订购。因此,相比之下,B)更好一些。
