[单项选择]Passage Three
The three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”
Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.
The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.”
It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package
A. says nonsense
B. cheats customers
C. cannot make the error
D. does not admit its error
[单项选择]Passage 2
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in a row. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what his senses – in this case our eyes – tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out w
A. the same action
B. two separate actions
C. two actions carried on entirely by eyes
D. several actions that take place at different times
[单项选择] Passage One
For three decades we’ve heard endlessly
about the virtues of aerobic(increasing oxygen consumption)exercise. Medical
authorities have praised running and jumping as the key to good health, and
millions of Americans have taken to the treadmill(踏车) to reap the rewards. But
the story is changing. Everyone from the American Heart Association to the
surgeon general’s office has recently embraced strength training as a complement
to aerobics. And as weight lifting has gone mainstream, so has the once obscure
practice known as "Super Slow" training. Enthusiasts claim that by pumping iron
at a snail’s pace-making each "rep" (repeat) last 14 seconds instead of the
usual seven you can safely place extraordinary demands on your muscles, and call
forth an extraordinary response. Slow lifting may not be the only exercise you
need, as some advocat
A. has been misunderstood for decades
B. has been widely accepted recently
C. has been the basis of weight lifting
D. has become the nucleus of aerobics
[单项选择] Passage Three
Three years ago, researchers announced the discovery
of human genes that were capable of turning ordinary cells into malignant ones.
The news met with some skepticism. Experts asked how a single gene could cause
such a dramatic change. Why does cancer take years or even decades to develop if
it is caused by such a simple and direct process In last week’s issue of the,
three research teams answered those questions by setting forth a new model for
understanding the role of oncogenes in cancer.
Each group found
that it does in fact take more than a single gene to produce cancer in normal
cells. Teams at M. I. T and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, N. Y.
, reported that they could induce cancer in normal rat cells only by inserting
at least two types of oncogene into the cells. "A single oncogene produced some
changes,
A. were unaffected completely under such circumstances
B. only occasionally developed cancer
C. developed tumor but not cancer
D. were changed but did not become malignant
