Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions:This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Public response to technology often varies in peculiar ways. While biotechnology, for example, gives rise to organized opposition, information technology, which is actually no less invasive (侵害的) ,no more harmless, is welcomed or, at the least, accepted with comparatively little debate. Information technologies from computers and communications have obviously had an overwhelming social impact and their benefits hardly need explanations, but they have also disturbed privacy and threatened civil liberties, computerized data banks empower bureaucratic authorities by providing easy access to personal information-about credit ratings, social performance, housing and medical histories. They will allow access to genetic figures, providing information about our tendencies to employers, insurers, product advertisers, banks and other institutions that exercise control over our lives. Computerization allows the severe extension of advertising through telemarketing requests that shamelessly intrude our home life. Information technologies have displaced people from jobs and turned potentially skilled workers into low-level computer technologies. Computers have facilitated the work of scholars, but also turned them into typists; yet one hears hardly a complaint. They have turned the simple act of buying a plane ticket into an endless manipulation (控制) ,but we welcome the so-called convenience. They have encouraged new forms of crime and fraud(欺诈) ,but we describe them with grudging admiration. They have allowed new types of evil weaponry. But we call them "smart bombs". Perhaps the most important, information technologies have extended the power of the mass media, creating unusual possibilities for political manipulation reducing accountability (有责任,有义务 ), and changing the nature of political life. It is true that there are critiques(批评) of information technologies from those professionally concerned about their problematic(有问题的) legal, social and political implications. There is a near total absence, however, of organized public concern about technologies with profound and problematic implications.
1. According to the author, Information technology______.
A.has nothing positive to say
B.has not given rise to organized opposition
C.is less harmless than biotechnology
D.is accepted without any debate
A B C D
C
“…in my fridgeless fifties childhood”的意思是“在50年代没有冰箱的我的童年时代”因此，C)符合题意。

A.quite evident
B.hard to explain
C.being overcome social opposition
D.to benefit few people
A B C D
D
从第三段可以看出答案为D)，既冰箱发明前，人们已有各种方式保存食物。
3. By the term "computerization the author means that______.
A.all of industrial work is controlled by computer
B.computer plays an important role in our economic life
C.computer becomes an essential part in our everyday life
D.all scientific work is done with the help of computer
A.political manipulation through mass media will become normal
B.our privacy will be threatened by businessmen
C.there will be more crimes and frauds by high tech
D.new types of evil weaponry will be invented
A B C D
A
本句问的是冰箱的副作用是什么，只有A)表示此意，故选A)。
5. Those who criticized information technologies are______.
A.leaders of the organized public opposition to information technologies
B.persons engaged in professional works
C.those who benefit most from information technologies
D.those who benefit least from information technologies
A B C D
B
此问是问作者的态度，纵观全文，可以看出作者对冰箱是持批评谴责态度的，因此选B)。
Task 2 The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball. In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching(投掷) stones was a favorite children's game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls. At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines (藤). Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed (塞满) with feathers or hay. Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach 'young men the speed and skill they would need for war.
