1、Fｏｄｄ（1)Ford\'s great strength was the manufacturing process not invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known fｏｒpicking up pieces of metal ａｎｄ　wire ａｎｄ　turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891, although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology ａｎｄ　market.(2)The company\'s assembly line alone. threw America\'s Industrial Revolution into overdrive(高速运转）. Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford\'s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford\' s Highlａｎｄ　Park plant was humming (嗡嗡作响) along in 1914, the world\'s first automatic conveyｏｒbelt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.（3）The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5 a day minimum Wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average Wage in the auto industry then was $2. 34 fｏｒa9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much fｏｒdoing something that didn\'t involve an awful lot of training ｏｒeducation. The Wall Street Journal called the plan "an economic crime" ａｎｄ　critics everywhere laughed at Ford.(4)But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford\'s dream to make the automobile accessible to all The critics were too stupid to understａｎｄ　that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn\'t matter, except fｏｒmaking it possible fｏｒmore people to buy cars.paragraph 2 ____【单选题】

2、Ceasing to Wear TiesIt\'s useless. It\'s dirty. It spreads disease. That\'s why the British Medical Association in the UK recently called fｏｒhospital doctors to stop wearing ties.That leads to another question. Why does anyone wear a tie? Ties serve no purpose. They do not cover any part of your body ａｎｄ　keep you warm. They always seem to get covered in food stains. Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie. It lets everyone know what you just ate.Ties have an odd history. Soldiers from Croatia, in Eastern Europe, served as mercenaries (雇佣军) in various conflicts in the 17th century. They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silk worn around the neck. Known as cravats(围巾), these became a popular fashion item in France ａｎｄ　eventually evolved into the tie.It\'s an interesting story, but it doesn\'t tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth ｏｒsilk around their necks. The answer seems to be about identification(身份证明 ). In the 19th-century Britain, ties were used by universities, military regiments (团), sports clubs, schools ａｎｄ　gentleman\'s clubs. Each tie was in a particular ｓｅｔof colors which identified the wearer as a member of that organization. Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain\'s most powerful classes. That made the tie itself a symbol of power ａｎｄ　respect. ａｎｄ　that led it to be adopted by a much larger class-the business class.You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery, so wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living, rather than his hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to wear ties across the world.Is there a future fｏｒties? The signs are not promising. Many political leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties.The British Medical Association suggested that________.【单选题】

A.they were workmen

B.they were members of different organizations

C.hospital doctors stop wearing ties

D.who does not always wear a tie

E.who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 17th century

F.who does not want to live like a king

正确答案:C

答案解析:根据题干中的线索词British Medical Association可定位到第一段最后一句：That\'s why the British Medical Association in the UK recently called fｏｒhospital doctors to stop wearing ties.选项C与其表达吻合，是原文的原意复现，故C为正确答案。

3、Longer Lives Are Happier Lives1 In recent years, scientists have been studying ways to change the body\'s chemistry to reduce the signs ａｎｄ　effects of aging.2 0neｇｒｏｕｐof researchers in Britain has performed experiments on a kind of worm. They have managed to increase the worm\'s normal life span of 20 days by up to 400%. They hope that they will be able to use this research to help humans live longer. However, this is a long way in the future. Another disadvantage is that when (ｏｒif) the new technology is successfully developed, it will probably be very expensive. The chance to live longer will only be available to a very few, very rich people.3 Anotherｇｒｏｕｐof scientists is studying people who have reached a very old age. They believe that this may show what has kept these people healthy ａｎｄ　alive fｏｒso long. So, if we look at people who have lived into very old age, what do they have in common? Usually they have led a physically active life. This does not mean going to a gym ｏｒrunning ten miles every day. Simple, enjoyable activities like walking seem to be more likely to keep you healthy. Very old people also eat a good, varied diet. Simple foods like vegetable, rice, pasta ａｎｄ　fish are the best.4 However, there may be one thing even more important than physical factors like diet ａｎｄ　exercise. Research shows that personality, ａｎｄ　the way a person thinks, play an important part in how long they will live. People who live into very old age always seem to enjoy life. They have a sense of humｏｒａｎｄ　get satisfaction from simple things. They do not constantly think about the past, but are interested in the present ａｎｄ　the future. They do not let life get boring, but have interests ａｎｄ　hobbies which keep their minds active ａｎｄ　they are open to new ideas. One Japanese man who lived to be 120 commented that the secret of his long life was "not worrying". To express it simply, people who are happy ａｎｄ　positive about life are more likely to live longer.5 So, eat well, exercise well, ａｎｄ　enjoy life, ａｎｄ　you will have a good chance of living to a healthy, happy old age.Some scientists are studying people who live a long time because ____【单选题】

A.Running 10 miles every day

B.It does not exist

C.They hope to find out what has made them live so long

D.walking

E.enjoy life

F.It will be very expensive

正确答案:C

4、Money ｏｒFriendship ｏｒBoth1. Friends ａｎｄ　money don\'t mix. It\'s a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to tend him ｏｒher some money? If you don\'t lend your friend the money, you risk losing the friend. If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship ａｎｄ　your money.2. We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies (伙伴) ａｎｄ　some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Thinking about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond his means, it is his fault, not yours. Any Sensible person would not put himself in a position of debt so often. So simply say "no" to this friend. Even if your friend really needs that money fｏｒemergency use ａｎｄ　you are willing to help him, before you dive into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money? Are you sure you don\'t need it? Are you willing to write off that amount if it\'s not returned? If your answers are negative, do yourself a favｏｒａｎｄ　say "no".3. Let\'s assume you can\'t stａｎｄ　saying "no" to your friend because you don\'t want him living off cat food. What do you do? Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet:Amount of the loan.Date of the loan.Time of repayment.Amount of interest (if any).Lender\'s ａｎｄ　borrower\'s signature.This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily, If your friend\'s loan is past due, it\'s important that you ask him－ａｎｄ　it\'s actually not rude. The longer you wait, the more you are brood (忧伤), ａｎｄ　the more your resentment builds.4. You can send him a friendly reminder via E - mail. Tell him something like "I\'m going over my bank account ａｎｄ　I\'m just wondering when we\'ll be able to settle that money thing." E - mail saves you from an uncomfortable face - to - face confrontation. There is almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an E - mail message will always be private.5. After asking two ｏｒthree times, you might have to write it off. That\'s what happens. If he just doesn\'t have the money ｏｒis unwilling, then what kind of friend is that?Paragraph 3 ____【单选题】

A.Time to Break off a Friendship

B.Unconditional Assistance to Friends in Need

C.Things to Consider When You Have to Say "No" to Your Friend

D.Things to Think over When You Don\'t Want Your Friend to Eat Cat Food

E.Strategies fｏｒBorrowing Money

F.Advantages of E - mail in Handling Money Issues

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定的难度，主旨句似乎不好确认，但实际上可以把第三段的前三句概括成一句主旨句。第三段主要谈到如果你不能不跟朋友说“不”的话，在借他钱时考虑几件事情。回来看选项，D项Things to Think over When You Don\'t Want Your Friend to Eat Cat Food，就是对本段的概括，所以答案是D。

5、RobotsThe most sophisticated (先进的) Japanese robots, which have vision systems ａｎｄ　work at very high speeds, are still based on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America ｏｒEurope.Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices fｏｒsimply handling objects, today their commonest uses are fｏｒmore skilled work like welding (焊接), spray-painting ａｎｄ　assembling components.In Britain robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive ａｎｄ　partly because engineers now have more experience with robots ａｎｄ　are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively.It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job.It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an enormous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all material published in Japan. The reliability of robots is measured in their MTBF ｏｒmean time between failures. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 18 hours a day fｏｒtwo years). One way robot manufacturers have increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small .sample.The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quality control. One programmed robots can work more accurately ａｎｄ　consistently than humans, who can get tired ａｎｄ　bored.Even the most sophisticated Japanese robots are________.【单选题】

A.too much energy

B.based on American designs

C.they are too costly

D.they are not reliable

E.quality control

F.free of charge

正确答案:B

答案解析:根据题干中的线索词the most sophisticated Japanese robots可定位到第一段第一句话：The most sophisticated（先进的）Japanese robots，which have vision systems ａｎｄ　work at very high speeds, are still based on American designs. B选项“based on American designs”是原句复现。显然B为正确答案。
