四、阅读理解
A
As a teenager in 1972, Bill Gates boasted that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20.While he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later he was a billionaire.And by 1992, as head of the icrosoft Corporation, he became the richest man in America with US$6.3 billion.
Born in Seattle, Washington on 28 October 1956, Gates was named William Henry after his father and grandfather.From the beginning, he was an extremely intelligent child.He had read the whole World Book Encyclopedia by the age of nine.His favorite subjects at school were science and maths and his favorite pastime was“thinking”.He was a year younger than most of his classmates and small for his age.The skinny, left-handed boy was often the object of jokes and found himself treated as an outsider by his peers.
If being teased (戏弄) bothered young Bill, however, he didn’t show it.While other children were outside playing games and enjoying sports, Bill spent all of his spare time reading his books and doing his papers.When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, 11-year-old Bill said, “A scientist.”
Gates first started to play with computers at the age of 13.At that time, computers were large.Operators were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used.Before long, Gates was an expert at working the school’s computer.Along with a group of older students, he set about learning every computer language and function there was.
After his graduation from secondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA.He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in moths.But he was still interested in computers and spent as much time in the computer labs as he did in the lecture halls.
By 1975, Gates and a partner, Paul had developed a software program called BASIC.This was not the first program created, but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.Until then, the computer hardware—the machines themselves—had been the expensive part of computing.
BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions.Although he had not yet completed his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called “icrosoft.”
His next project was the software program that made him famous and very rich.It was called DOS, and IB purchased it in 1980.It was the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world before WINDOWS came into being.
39.In Paragraph 3, it is implied (暗示) that Gates __________.?
A.was in poor health
B.was not interested in sports?
C.was a very neat and tidy person?
D.did not mind being teased
40.When Gates went to Harvard he __________.?
A.spend most of his time in computer labs?
B.developed the first computer software program?
C.divided his time between his maths studies and the computer labs?
D.was not doing well in maths?
41.Before the development of BASIC, __________.?
A.software programs were not considered commercial(商业) projects?
B.software programs were very expensive?
C.no one wanted to pay for computer software?
D.software was more expensive than hardware??
42.Gates formed the new company icrosoft __________.?
A.and began to develop WINDOWS?
B.because he was already working on DOS?
C.because he could not work on DOS while he was at university?
D.and left university to work there full time?

ichael, an American, stays home on workdays.He plug into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office.After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer.On many days, ichael doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people expect the ones on television.ichael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible.The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us.Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home.With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes.They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with.In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts（账户）, making paper checks（支票） unnecessary.No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks.Personal banking will change, too.Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.?
Another area technology is changing is entertainment.usic, for instance, was once a group experience.People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings.For many people now, however, music is an individual experience.Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them.ovie entertainment is changing, too.ovies used to be social events.Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie.any more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home.Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
43.After work, ichael likes to __________.?
A.listen to music at the concert hall?
B.watch a movie in his living room?

A.Clerks will be able to work at home.?
B.One can play baseball on the computer.?
C.One can listen to music without disturbing others.?
D.One can borrow books from libraries at home.?
45.The sentence“ichael is imaginary, but...”means __________.?
A.he is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true?
B.he is not a real person but the lifestyle does exist?
C.he has ambitions but he can’t make his dreams come true?
D.he is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays?
46.What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph??
A.Games and sports.?

D.odern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.?
答案：43～47 BDBAB?
C
Scientists made a great breakthrough this year in England when the first“test-tube” baby was born.The birth was the result of many years of research by doctors.The doctors did the research in groups to help the women who cannot conceive a baby in the normal way.?
What happened when the baby was born “from a test tube”?Well, the baby did not literally grow in a test tube.The first stage of the process was that the egg from the woman and the sperm from the man were put together in the test tube.After all, the embryo was put into the womb of a woman.This process was difficult.But it was successful, so the baby was eventually born, like any other, from a woman, only the woman wasn’t the baby’s real mother, but a sort of“carrier”of a baby produced by another couple.
Obviously, this method is help to couples who can’t have children because of physical problems in the woman.But very difficult moral problems arise in the kind of situation.Take, for instance, a case that happened this year.A couple who wanted a baby advertised for a woman to have a child by the father of the couple.They offered the woman a lot of money.The woman was made pregnant by artificial insemination; in this case, the woman“employed”to bear the child was its real mother.When the baby was born, the woman refused? to give it back to the couple.But, in the eyes of the law, the woman had a right to keep the children because she was its biological mother.?
You could argue that we should change the law to deal with this kind of situation.In earlier times, there were always healthy babies needing adoption, because family planning methods were not so effective as they are noThese days, however, most of the children who can be adopted are over six years old, often handicapped in some way.So a couple who want a young healthy baby cannot always adopt one, this is why the“test-tube”baby is in demand.But is it normally right to use this method?Should we temper with nature in this way?Even if we change the law, would this be the right step to take??
48.The birth of the first“test-tube”baby is a great advance __________.?
A.in birth control?
B.on medical science?
C.on the research for babies?
D.in the lives of married women?
49.When we say a baby was born“from a test-tube”, we mean__________.?
A.the embryo was formed in the test tube?
B.the baby grew in the test-tube before it was born?
C.the baby didn’t develop in the womb of a woman?
D.the baby has no biological parents?
50.According to the law, who has right to keep the baby produced by the artificial method??
A.The couple who want a baby.?
B.The person who pays the money to the real mother.?
C.The biological mother of the child.?
D.The father who advertises for a biological mother.?
51.According to the passage, people need“test-tube baby”because__________.?
A.family planning methods are not effective?
B.there are so many babies needing adoption?
C.they are unwilling to adopt a child?
D.they can’t always adopt a young healthy baby?
52.What is the author’s attitude towards the artificial method of shavings babies??
A.Positive(肯定的).
B.Enthusiastic(热心的).?
C.Doubtful.
D.Natural.
