It was late in the afternoon, and I was
putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good
about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the
computer down, and it seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked
(用力猛拉) the battery out. Unfortunately, Windows had been in the
midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my
computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows
would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup
CD. I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs, but no Windows
CD in there. I was forced to call the computer company’s Global Support Centre.
My call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. I find it
annoying to make small talk with someone when A. efficiency B. location C. Setup CDs D. attitude

In the late summer of 2005, the
remarkable flooding brought by Hurricane Katrina, which caused more than $ 200
billion in losses, was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. However, even
in typical years, flooding causes billions of dollars in damage and threatens
lives and property in every State. Natural processes, such as
hurricanes and weather systems can cause floods. Failure of levees and dams and
inadequate drainage in urban areas can also result in flooding. On average,
floods kill about 140 people each year and cause $ 6 billion in property damage.
Although loss of life to floods during the past half-century has declined,
mostly because of improved warning systems, economic losses have continued to
rise due to increased urbanization and coastal development.
Flooding happens during heavy rains, when riv A. The tragedy happening in 2005 is an exception from a country that barely witness floods so frequently. B. Flood is not such a serious problem as hurricanes and other forms of natural disasters in U. S.. C. That is an extreme example to represent the serious problem of flood U. S. has been faced with for many years. D. The example in 2005 is typical, just like any other year in U. S..

Since the late 1970’s, in the face of a
severe loss of market share in dozens of industries, manufacturers in the United
States have been trying to improve productivity and therefore enhance their
international competitiveness through costcutting programs. (Cost-cutting here
is definding the amount of labor constant.) However, from 1978 through 1982,
productivity-- the value of goods manufactured divided by the amount of labor
input-- did not improve; and while the results were better in the business
upturn of the three years following, they ran 25 percent lower than productivity
improvements during earlier, post-1945 upturns. At the same, it became clear
that the harder manufactures worked to implement costcutting, the more they lost
their competitive edge. With this paradox in mind, I recently visited A. summarizing a thesis B. recommending a different approach C. comparing points of view D. making a series of predictions

[单项选择] {{B}}TEXT C{{/B}} In the late 1960s many
people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and
new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized: Ecologists pointed out
that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public
transportation and parking lot capacities. Skyscrapers are also
lavish comsumers, and wasters of electric power. In one recent year, the
addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City
raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowattsenough to
supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.
Glass-walled skyscraper’s can be especially wasteful. The beat loss (or
gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through
a typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on
heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to
use double A. compare skyscraper’s with other modern structures B. describe skyscrapers and their effect on the environment C. advocate the use of masonry in the construction of skyscrapers D. illustrate some architectural designs of skyscrapers
