Passage Two

One day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to New York and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down."

"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."

"I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."

I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do？'

"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."

"So when it goes down, you go down with it."

"That's good, sir. '

"How long will the computer be down？" I wanted to know.

"I have no idea. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer."

After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes？ They're still flying, aren't they？"

"I wouldn't know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT'knows. 'It'can't tell me.

By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

听力原文： In the local newspaper of my community recently there was a story about a man named Mike Smith. He lived in a small town about 40 miles from my home. He had served 5 years in a New York prison for robbing a restaurant. When he returned to his family, Mr. Smith couldn't find a job. Everyone knew he had been in prison and no one trusted him. Finally in desperation, he calmly walked in- to a local barber shop where he was well-known, pulled out a gun and took all the money the barber had. Up to this point it had been a fairly routine crime. But then something unusual happened. Mr. Smith didn't try to get away. He got into his car, drove slowly out of his town and waited for the police. When they called him, he made only one request. He turned to arresting policemen and said, "Would you please ask the court to put my family on welfare as soon as possible？"

(33)

A．His criminal record.

B．The high unemployment rate in New York.

C．The long distance between his home town and New York.

D．His unpopular character.

B.San Francisco　

C.Los Angeles

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

On line courses (also called distance learning) are a hot new trend in American education. According to the nonprofit Distance Education and Training Council,　about 400 US colleges and schools offer some portion of their programs on the We b. At the university level, they cost the same as traditional classes and requir e similar weekly assignments and textbook reading, the difference is in class pa rticipation.

Generally speaking, students congregate(使聚集) on line throughout each week to explore topic with the professor, but these discussions occur “asynchronousl y(不同时发生地)” rather than in real time. (You read others’ comments and post your own whenever you get a chance.) Written assignments are posted, you e mail in your work periodically, and you’re required to take a proctored exam in order to receive degree credit. Career boosting business administration and information technology programs are the most popular, but you’ll also find a variety of literal arts offerings, from film theory to medieval history and foreign lang uage study. While you still can’t get an Ivy League degree on line, a growing number of elite(卓越的) institutions, including Stanford and New York Univer sity are beginning to offer on line courses.

The benefits for busy people are obvious. “I always get a front row seat,” says one student studying at the State University of New York Learning Network. “I can get up in the middle of class, grab a cup of coffee. The class is waiting for me when I get back, and I haven’t missed a thing.” On the other hand, some students miss the face to face interaction that often sparks interest and involvement.

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes,and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them？ People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples -people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.
