You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 21 to 24 are based on the following passage : Americans like to do business without leaving their cars. Youll see drive-in banks,drive-in restaurants, drive-in churches and drive-in movies. When driving in the U.S., its a good idea to have an international drivers license if you dont have a state license. Each of the fifty states has its own traffic laws。 Get information when you cross the border into a state at a tourist information center There is a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour. Americans are generally polite about letting cars enter busy streets. They usually stopfor people who are walkingto let them cross the street. In many states you may turnright after stopping at a corner, even if there is a red light. On some roads there may be a minimum speed. If you rent a car, ask the company what to do in case your car breaksdown. Some companies will ask you to call a special number. Others will want you to have the car repaired. They will partly deduct the cost of the repair from your bill. Mileage can mean two things. It may mean the total number of miles a car has been driven. We say “This car only has 10, 000 miles on it; ithas low mileage.” On the other hand, “gas mileage” is the number of miles a car can travel on one U. S. gallon of gas. For example, a big carthat gets 25 miles to the gallon gets very good mileage. A small economy car should get at least 35 miles to the gallon when its new. 21. If you have a state drivers license,_ .

When an automatic washing machine is switched on,water pours in. The mchine waits until the water is hot before washing the clothes. It does this by“feedback”Informationabout What is happening is“feedback”into the robot to te11 it what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are likepeople in two ways,They work and they have feedback. There are robots all around, making our lives easier. Some of them,like the pocket calculator, can work much more quick1y than human beings can. And they rarely make mistakes. In some ways robots are better than people. They work quick1y, but do not make mistakes, They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again。 And they never gettired. Robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs First their electronic brains must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robots“arm” and“hand”through each part of the job The robots brain remembers each move。 When the robot isput to work on its own, its brain controls the rods, wheels and motors which move its arm. When the robot is needed for a new job, its electronic memory is“wiped clean.”Then it is taught how to do its new task. If the robots hand stops working, or if something gets in the way, it cannot do the next part of the jobSo it stops and signals for help,Then a human engineer repairs it. The most“intelligent”robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their metal fingers can feel shapes and even find out how hot and cold objects are. These robots have computer brains,linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. 25In this story the author tells us that_.

There will be laws against using robots. D. Robots will benefit nobody.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the following passage: Tests conducted at the University of Pennsylvanias Psycho1ical Laboratory showed that anger is one of the most difficult Emotions to find out from facial expressions. Professor Dallas E. Buzby confronted 716 students with pictures of extreme1y angry persons, and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression。 Only two percent made correct judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as“pleased”. And a typical reaction of a student confronted with thepicture of a man who was mad was to classify his expression as either bewildered,quizzical,or simplyamazedOther studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face. The investigators found further that women are better at finding out anger from facia1 expressions than men are. Paradoxically,they found that psychological training does not improve ones ability tojudge a mans emotions by his expressions but actually hinders it For in the university tests, the more courses the student had taken in psychology, the poorer judgment score he turned in. 29The information in this passage centersaround_. A. the re1ation between anger and other emotions B. the differences between men and women with respect to emotion C. the influence of psychology on human emotions D. the discovery of anger from facial expressions 30when tested, students with psychological training_. A. marked less than two percent of their possible choices correctly B. did better than the average student in the group C. seemed less able to judge correctly than the average student D. performed in a manner not specified in the passage 31To achieve the greatest success in finding out anger from facial expressions,it would be best to_. A. use adults rather than students as judges B. ask women who do not study psychology to judge it C. ask men rather than women to judge it D. be satisfied with a two percent success,if such a percentage is guaranteed 32The last two sentences in the second paragraph show that_. A. such training has not resulted in better scores B. we have really achieved the anticipated results C. the judgment is similar to what we have expected D.we can expect such training to have the effect stated Questions 33 to 36 are based on the following passage: Wouldnt it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you Can. The forecast is written in c1ouds. If you can read that writing,you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecasterWho knows,you might even do as well as meteorologists. Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecastThey collect data from all over the world Then they put it into powerful,high-speed computers. This does give meteorologists an advantage,because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage,too.You can look at the sky and get your data directlyA meteorologist uses a computer forecast thats several hours old to make a 1ocal forecast. What are you seeing when you look at a cloud?”A picture of what moisture is doing in the atmosphere,” says meteorologist Peter Leavit Theres moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you dont see it,because its in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. Sometimes,the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid waterThats called condensation, and we see it happen all the time (for example,when humid air from the shower hits the cold glass of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses,droplets form in the air.These droplets scatter lightA cloud is seen. Watching c1ouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a sing1e cloud about the weather to come, Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, fol1owing each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But dont take our word for it; see for yourself. 33This passage main1y tells us about how_. A. to become a meteorologist B. to keep an eye on the weather C. to be an assistant to a meteorologist D. to change water vapor to liquid water 34According to the passage,an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast_. A. with the help of the high-speed computers B. through a complex process of calculation C. with some simple practice looking up at the sky D. consulting a weather station 35Meteorologists make their weather forecast_. A. by collecting data from all over the world B. by putting this date into powerfu1, high·speed computers C. by ca1culating and ana1yzirig this data D. all above 36.Your advantage in weather forecasts is that_. A. you have more powerful computers at home B. your brain works as well as a high-speed computer C. you observe the sky and obtain your data directly D. meteorologists give their data to you as soon as they get themQuestions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage: Security and commodity exchanges are trading posts where people meet who wish to buy or sell The exchanges themselves do no trading;they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and conduct their business. Wall Street, although t
