Why do we invest so much hope in new technology and why are we so disappointed when the Ne

xt Big Thing turns out to be just a new computer？ This is what I'm asking myself after Apple's 【C1】______ over hyped product introduction. This time around the Next Big Thing is called an iPad. It's 【C2】______ an oversize iPod Touch, and it will be great for watching movies, reading books, and browsing the Web.

【C3】______ for some of us who sat in the audience watching Steve Jobs introduce the device, the whole thing felt like a 【C4】______ . The iPad is a perfectly good product. It's reasonably 【C5】______ , and after spending a few minutes with one, I'm pretty sure I'll buy one for myself and probably 【C6】______ second one for my kids to watch movies on road trips.

Then why are we so【C7】______？ The case is that at the very 【C8】______ , we had hoped a tablet from Apple would do something new. Jobs and his 【C9】______ kept using words like "breakthrough" and "magical", but the iPad is 【C10】______ It might turn out to be magical for Apple, because 【C11】______ Jobs is really doing here is trying to【C12】______the personal computer with a closed appliance that runs software only from Apple's online App Store. So instead of selling you a(n) 【C13】______ and never hearing from you again, Apple gets a(n) 【C14】______ revenue stream with iPad as you keep【C15】______more apps. That really is "magical" for Apple's bottom line, anyway.

And that's 【C16】______ . What's wrong, or at least interesting, is why some of us 【C17】______ so much more from a new gadget. I suspect this is because for some people, myself 【C18】______ , technology has become a kind of 【C19】______ . We may not believe in God anymore, but we still need mystery and wonder. We need the magic 【C20】______ .

【C1】

A．late

B．last

C．latter

第1题

Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us beli

eve, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states " invest " in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits？

So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life.

It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries.

Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.

Why do modern states invest in institutions of learning？

A．To get a repayment for what an individual's education has cost.

B．To get rewards for what they have spent.

C．To charge interest.

D．To give all the children free education.

Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are two passages in this part． Each passage js followed by some questions

or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D． Youshould decide on the best choice．

Questions 56 - 60 are based on Passage One:

Passage One

How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀) ？ Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate is．Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market．Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past．Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques．

I sometimes woncler wl:cat a being from another planet might report back about our wayof life． “The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound． It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands． Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control．This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves． ”

Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time． Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts． They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time． So it seems that the first clocks were human beings．

However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time．

They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun．They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks．Indeed, any serious student of antiques should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past．

Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home． After all, if you are going to be ruled by the time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit？

According to the passage, collecting antique clocks ()．

A． can hardly keep the value of your savings

B． will cost much of your money

C． may increase your wealth

D． needs your bravery

听力原文：M: So, what do you want to do tomorrow？

W: Well, let's look at this city guide here. Uh, here's something interesting. Oh! Why don't we first visit the art museum in the morning.

M: Okay. I like that idea. And where do you want to eat lunch？

W: How about going to an Indian restaurant？ Humm. The guide recommends one downtown a few blocks from the museum.

M: Now that sounds great. After that, what do you think about visiting the zoo？ Umm, well, it says here that there are some very unique animals not found anywhere else.

W: Well, to tell the truth, I'm not really interested in going there. Why don't we go shopping instead？ There are supposed to be some really nice places to pick up souvenirs.

M: Nail, I don't think that's a good idea. We only have few traveler's checks left, and I only have fifty dollars left in cash.

W: No problem. We can use your credit card to pay for MY new clothes.

, they replied, "Because it is right. " If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks, or why their men wear pants 27 skirts, or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we are likely to get 28 and very uninformative answers: "Because its right. " "Because thats the way its done. " "Because its the 29 " Or even ,I dont know. " The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior. is that they are __30 by social norms--shared rules or guidelines which prescribe the behavior. that is appropriate in a given situation. Norms 31 how people " ought" to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society. We conform. (遵守) to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they 32 . In fact, we are much more likely to notice 33 from norms than conformity to them. You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but you might be a little 34 if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you on both 35 . Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world. When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way. 第26题应填____

Why do we need the English major？ The【C1】______is in every mouth—or, at least, is discusse

d extensively in columns and【C2】______. The English major is vanishing from our colleges as the Latin vanished before it, were told, a【C3】______choice bound to a dead subject. This spring at Pomona College, 16 students graduated【C4】______an English major out of a student body of 1,560, a terribly【C5】______number, and from other, similar schools, other, similar numbers. 【C6】______a number of defenses have been mounted, none of them, so far, terribly persuasive even to one【C7】______them to persuade. The defenses come in two kinds: one【C8】______that English majors make better people, the other that English majors (or at least humanities majors) make【C9】______better societies; that, as Christina Pax-son, the president of Brown University, just put it in The New Republic, "there are real, definite benefits to the humanistic【C10】______—to the study of history, literature, art, theater, music, and languages." We need the humanities, she explains patiently,【C11】______they may end up giving us other stuff we actually like: "We do not always know the future benefits of what we study and【C12】______should not rush to reject some forms of research as less【C13】______than others." The study of English, to be sure,【C14】______from its own discontents: it isnt a science, and so the "research" you do is not really research. So why have English majors？ Well, because many people like books. Most of those like to talk about them after theyve read them, or while theyre in the middle. One might call this a natural or【C15】______consequence of literacy. And its this living, irresistible, permanent interest in reading that【C16】______English departments, and makes【C17】______of English majors.【C18】______we closed down every English department in the country, loud, good, expert, or at least hyper-enthusiastic readers would still emerge. As one important branch of humanities, studying English wont be time-wasted. As Professor Paxson said, the humanities help us【C19】______life more and endure it better. The reason we need the humanities is because were human. Thats【C20】______.
