　　Ⅱ．完形填空
　　Fill in each blank in the passage with the most appropriate answer.

　　A new computer system has been designed to stop ships sinking. The greatest danger to a holed vessel is that flooding of its compartments will make the 26 unstable enough to capsize。 It is estimated that nearly half the ships 27 during the second world war capsized because of loss of 28 .
Pacet Systems of Burlington， Massachusetts， has now refined a system devised by a reserve US Navy officer， Stephen Drabouski， which effectively second guesses the ship. The 29 is programmed with every possible eventuality of flood damage. Once the actural damage is keyed into the computer ， the operator is told by the computer 30 the implications are and what can be done to restabilise the vessel。
　　Trials on the American aircraft carrier US Midway have 31 that the reaction time to damage can be cut to a fiftieth. An incident was simulated in which the ship was 32 by two Exocet missiles causing flooding to 30 compartments. It took 10 minutes from receipt of the flood damage information in the damage control centre to a full printout of damage effects， 33 counterrneasures and an assessment of the result of the counterrneasures。
　　In a re-run of the incident without the computer program the damage control officer took four and a quarter hours to establish the 34 of the damage and another four hours 35 a decision could be taken on countermeasures.
　　Although the system can be used to provide 36 control officers with advice they do not，dcourse， have to accept the informatiOn。Quite often the 37 solution" will be unacceptable for operational reasons。 When that happens the system can be 38 for alternatives or the operator 39 interrogate the computer to find out what would happen if the officer's 40 solution was put into action。

　　26．　A.ship B.computer　C.system D.stability
　　27．　A.damage B.sunk　C.lost D.worn out
　　28．　A.capability B.wound　C.vibration D.stablity

　　Read the two passages and answer the questions （10 points）

　　Passage one
　　Any social structures， particularly that Victorian England，is so much a matter of sentiment and prejudice that the descriptions given by contemporary novelists may be as worth studying from one point of view as statistics are from another。 Novels begin by reflecting the structure， and end by confirming or modifying it. Our own ideas of dissolving and reforming society are affected by novels and films， which help to set or change the tone as well as capture it。 Victorian novelists worked within a more established social framework； they had less scope for evaluating social importance differently and their accounts， however slanted， tally more closely with each other than those of modern novelists are likely to do a centure frorn now. Some of the Victorian novelists were more at home with certain segments of society than with others，and their personal reactions to the system differed; but the social world in which their creatures moved is real, solid and essential one。 The classic age of English society - as it seems in retrospect - was also the classic age of English fiction。 Expert for a few uncharted areas， the novelists knew where they stood （whether or not they liked it） and so did their readers．
　　The half century from roughly 1830 to 1880 excludes the later Victorian novelists with their more private， or at least more highly contrasting pictures of society. It also allows unity of thenie。 During these decades the aristocracy and landed gentry，although less powerful than they had been ， were still predominant in govemment and the countryside。 Their social prestige， which had substantially survived the changes of the thirties and forties，was to weaken under agricultural depression， electoral and military reform ， the opening of the Civil Service to competitive examination， and the growing power of finance on the one hand and Organized labour on the other。 But this decline did not really set in until the closing years of the century。

　　51. Victorian novels are a useful guide to Victorian social structure because they ______.
　　A. are sentimental　B. contajn statistics　C. reflect prejudices　D. are prejudicial

　　52．Modern novelists give a less exact picture of their society than Victorian noveljsts do because __________.
　　A. they wish to re-form society　B. their society is less stable
　　C. they are affected by films　D. they change their tone too often

　　53． An essential characteristic of the classic age of fiction was that ______.
　　A. there was only one realistic character in each novel
　　B. the novelist and the reader reacted differently to the system
　　C. the nove list was conte nt with his position in society
　　D. the novelists depicted the whole of society

　　54. During the years 1830-1880， the upper classes
　　A. declined in power in the countryside　　B. no longer controlled society
　　C. were still powerful　　　D. lost their social prestige

　　55．It was the latter half of the nineteenth century that the Civil Service __________.
　　A. began its administrative work 　B. was closely examined
　　C. was open only to people with money　D. offered more opportunities for jobs

　　Passage Two
　　We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary， both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils。 It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all， it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
　　Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality。 We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full，not just their academic ability。 We also value personal qualities and social skills， and we find that mixedability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning。
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups； this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate， to share, and to develop leadership skilis. They also learn how to cope with personoal problems as well as learning how to think， to make decisions， to analyse and evaluate， and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as wellas from the teacher.
　　Sometimes the pupils work in pairs，sometimes they work on inspanidual tasks and assignments ， and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate。 We encourage our pupils to use the library， and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work； it does not matter what age the child is。 We expect　our pupils to do their best，not their least，and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal．

　　56．In the passage the author's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching" is _______.
　　A. critical B. questioning　　C.proving D.objective

　　57．By "held back" (line 1) the author means ______.
　　A. made to remain in the same classes
　　B. forced to study in the lower classes
　　C.drawn to their studies
　　D.prevented from advancing

　　58．The author araues that a teacher's chief concern should be the development of the student's __________.
　　A. personal qualities and social skills
　　B. total personality
　　C. learning ability and communicative skills
　　D. intellectual ability

　　59．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the third paragraph？
　　A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.
　　B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning ability。
　　C. Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.
　　D. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.

　　60．The author's purpose of writing this passage is to _________________.

　　Ⅶ. 短文写作（答案）
　　I think the most important thing I should learn at college is the ability to work on my own， in Sagan's words the ability to teach yourself a subject. This is a key skill a college student should acquire. The world is changing very rapidly， and so we must keep learning throughout our lives. We can't stay in school for very long，and we can't have teachers to guide us all the time. So we must， while still in college， learn how to find and solve our problem by ourselves，how to use libraries and laboratories and what questions to ask when we meet an expert. Armed with this key skill，we'll be able to teach ourselves any subject that interests us or is of some use to us after we graduate。
