history,the earlypostwar era,there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take overthe world from man one day.Already today,less than forty years later,as computersare relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personallives,we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.Peopletend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority.Indeed,they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed,or that a computer may simply malfunction.Obviously,there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had tocheck all its answers,but people should also rely on their own internal computersand check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry.Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of goodbusiness as they were in pre-computer days.Maybe each computer should come withthe following warning:for all the help this computer may provide,it should notbe seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.is the main purpose of this passage?A.To look back to the early days of computers.B.To explain what technical problems may occur with computers?C.To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D.To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.22.According to the passage,initial concerns about computers were that theymight_A.lead us into the post-war eraB.be quite widespreadC.take controlD.take over routine tasks23.The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_A.be reasonably skeptical abort themB.check all their answersC.substitute them for basic thinkingD.use them for business purposes only“internal computer”is_A.a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problemsB.a persons store of knowledge and the ability to process itC.the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD.a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_A.challengingB.psychologicalC.dramaticD.malfunctioningPassage FourPassage FourSeveral recent studies have found that beingrandomly(随机地)assigned toa roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greaterlikelihood(可能性)of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race maydecrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diversefriendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with awhite roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers.Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In aNewYorkTimesarticle,Sam Boakye the only black student on his freshmanyear floor-said that if youre surrounded by whites,you have something to prove.Researchersalsoobservedproblemsresultingfrompairinginterracialstudents in residences.According to two recent studies,randomly assigned roommates of differentraces are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate willmove out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three timesas likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of thesemester.Grace Kao,a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings.This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted,and lived,with someone of a different race,she said.At Penn,students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.One of the great things about freshman housing is that,with some exceptions,the process throws you together randomly,said Undergraduate Assembly chairmanAlec Webley.This is the definition of integration.Ive experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that haveboth broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes,said one Pennresidentadvisor(RA).The RA of two years added that while some conflicts provided moremulticultural acceptance andmelding(融合),there were also jarring culturalconfrontations.The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of thesame race.Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any oneof the studies,noting that more background characteristics of the students needto be studied and explained.26.What can we learn from some recent studies?A)between students of different races are unavoidable.ConflictsB)Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.C)Interracial lodging does more harm than good.D)Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.27.What does Sam Boakyes remark mean?A)White students tend to look down upon their black peers.B)Black students can compete with their white peers academically.C)Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during thefreshman year.D)Beingsurrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.28.What does the Indiana University study show?A)Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.B)Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.C)Roommates of different races just dont get along.D)students lodging randomly is not a good policy.29.What does Alec Webley consider to be the definition of integration?AssigningA)of different races are required to share a room.StudentsB)Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.C)Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.D)randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.30.What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?A.It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.B.Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.The schoolC.Students racial background should be considered before lodging isassigned.D.Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.PartPart Vocabulary and Structure(10 minutes,10 points)Vocabulary and Structure(10
