12、sage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: One day in January 1913. G.H. Hardy, a famous Cambridge University mathematician received a letter from an Indian named Srinivasa Ramanujan asking him for his opinion of 120mathematical theorems(定理) that Ramanujan said he had discovered.

13、 To Hardy, many of thetheorems made no sense. Of the others, one or two were already well - known. Ramanjuan mustbe some kind of trickplayer, Hardy decided, and put the letter aside. But all that day the letterkept hanging round Hardy. Might there be something in those wild - looking theorems? That

14、evening Hardy invited another brilliant Cambridge mathematician, J.E. Littlewood,and the two men set out to assess the Indians worth. That incident was a turning point in thehistory of mathematics. At the time, Ramanujan was an obscure Madras Port Trust clerk. A little more than a yearlater, he was

15、at Cambridge University, and beginning to be recognized as one of the most amazing mathematicians the world has ever known. Though he died in 1920, much of his work wasso far in advance of his time that only in recent years is it beginning to be properly understood.Indeed, his results are helping so

16、lve today s problems in computer science and physics, problemsthat he could have had no notion of. For Indians, moreover, Ramanujan has a special significance. Ramanujan, though born inpoor and ill - paid accountant s family 100 years ago, has inspired many Indians to adopt math-ematics as career. M

17、uch of Ramanujan s work is in number theory, a branch of mathematics that deals withthe subtle(难以捉摸的) laws and relationships that govern numbers. Mathematicians describehis results as elegant and beautiful but they are much too complex to be appreciated by laymen.His life, though, is full of drama a

18、nd sorrow. It is one of the great romantic stories of mathemat-ics, a distressing reminder that genius can surface and rise in the most unpromising circum-stances.21. When Hardy received the 120 theorems from Ramanujan, his attitude at first might be best described as A) uninterested B) unsympatheti

19、c C) suspicious D) curious22. Ramanujans position in Cambridge University owed much to A) the judgement of his work by Hardy and Littlewood B) his letter of application accepted by Hardy C) his work as a clerk at Madras Port Trust D) his being recognized by the world as a famous mathematician23. It

20、may be inferred from the passage that the author A) feels sorry for Ramanujans early death B) is dissatisfied with the slow development of computer science C) is puzzled about the complexity of Ramanujans theorems D) greatly appreciates Ramanujans mathematical genius24. In the last paragraph, the au

21、thor points out that A) Ramanujans mathematical theorems were not appreciated by other mathematicians B) extremely talented people can prove their worth despite difficult circumstances C) Ramanujan also wrote a number of stories about mathematicsD) Ramanujan had worked out an elegant but complicated

22、 method of solving problems25. The word laymen( Last para, Lind 6) most probably means A) people who do not specialize in mathematical science B) people who are careless C) people who are not interested in mathematicsD) people who dont like to solve complicated problemsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30

23、are based on the following passage: Even if all the technical and intellectual problems can be solved, there are major socialproblems inherent in the computer revolution. The most obvious is unemployment, since the ba-sic purpose of commercial computerization is to get more work done by fewer people

24、. OneBritish study predicts that automation induced unemployment in Western Europe could reach16,6 in the next decade, but most analyses are more optimistic. The general rule seems to bethat new technology eventually creates as many jobs as it destroys, and often more. People whoput in computers usu

25、ally increase their staffs as well says CPTs Scheff. Of course, he adds,one industry may kill another industry. That s tough on some people. Theoretically, all unemployed workers can be retrained, but retraining programs are nothigh on the nation s agenda(议事日程). Many new jobs, moreover, will require

26、 an ability in using computers, and the retraining needed to use them will have to be repeated as the technologykeeps improving. Says a chilling report by the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment:Lifelong retraining is expected to become the standard for many people. There is a alreadyconsi

27、derable evidence that the school children now being educated in the use of computers aregenerally the children of the white middle class. Young blacks, whose unemployment rate standstoday at 50 96, will find another barrier in front of them. Such social problems are not the fault of the computer, of

28、 course, but a consequence of theway the American society might use the computer. Even in the days of the Big, main- framecomputers, when they were a machine for the few. says Katherine Davis Fishman, author ofThe Computer Establishment, it was a tool to help the rich get richer. It still is to a la

29、rge ex-tent. One of the great values of the personal computer is that smaller firms, smaller organizationscan now have some of the advantages of the bigger organizations.26. The closest restatement of one industry may kill another industry ( Para. I Lind 11) is that A) industries tend to compete wit

30、h one another B) one industry might be driven out of business by another industry C) one industry may increase its staff at the expense of another D) industries tend to combine into bigger ones27. The word chilling (Para. 2, Line 5) most probably means A) misleading B) convincing C) discouraging D)

31、interesting28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A) Computers are efficient in retraining unempleyed workers. B) Computers may offer more working opportunities than they destroy. C) Computers will increase the unemployment rate of young blacks. D) Computers can help smaller orga

32、nizations to function more effectively.29. From the passage it can be inferred that A) all school children are offered a course in the use of computers B) all unemployed workers are being retrained C) retraining programmes are considered very important by the government D) in reality only a certain

33、portion of unemployedworkers will be retrained30. The major problem discussed in the passage is A) the importance of lifelong retraining of the unemployed workers B) the social consequences of the widespread use of computers in the United States C) the barrier to the employment of young people D) th

34、e general rule of the advancement of technologyPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Mobility of individual members and family groups tends to split up family relationships.Occasionally the movement of a family away from a situation which has been the source of friction

35、 results in greater family organization, but on the whole mobility is disorganizing.Individuals and families are involved in three types of mobility: movement in space, movement up or down in social status, and the movement of ideas. These are termed respectively spatial, vertical, and ideational mo

36、bility. A great increase in spatial mobility has gone along with improvements in rail and watertransportation, the invention and use of the automobile, and the availability of airplane passengerservice. Spatial mobility results in a decline in the importance of the traditional home with itsemphasis

37、on family continuity and stability. It also means that when individual family membersor the family as a whole move away from a community, the person or the family is removed from the pressures of relatives, friends, and community institutions for conventionality and stability. Even more important is

38、 the fact that spatial mobility permits some members of a family to come in contact with and possibly adopt attitudes, values, and ways of thinking different from those held by other family members. The presence of different attitudes, values, and ways of thinking with in a family may, and often doe

39、s, result in conflict and family disorganization. Potential disorganization is present in those families in which the husband, wife, and children are spatially separated over a long period, or are living together but see each other only briefly be- cause of different work schedules. One index of the

40、 increase in vertical mobility is the great increase in the proportion of sons, and to some extent daughters, who engage in occupations other than those of the parents. Another index of vertical mobility is the degree of intermarrigae between racial classes. This occurs almost exclusively between cl

41、asses which are adjacent to each other. Engaging in a different occupation, or intermarriage, like spatial mobility, allows one to come in contact with ways of behavior different from those of the parental home, and tends to separate parents and their children. The increase in ideational mobility is

42、 measured by the increase in publications, such asnewspapers, periodicals, and books, the increase in the percentage of the population owning radios, and the increase in television sets. All these tend to introduce new ideas into the home.When individual family members are exposed to and adopt the n

43、ew ideas, the tendency is forconflict to arise and for those in conflict to become psychologically separated from each other.31. What the passage tells us can be summarized by the statement: A) social development results in a decline in the impotance of traditional families B) potential disorganizat

44、ion is present in the American family C) family disorganization is more or less the result of mobility D) the movement of a family is one of the factors in raising its social status32. According to the passage, those who live in a traditional family A) are less likely to quarrel with others because

45、of conventionality and stability B) have to depend on their relatives and friends if they do not move away from it C) can get more help from their family members if they are in trouble D) will have more freedom of action and thought if they move away from it.33. Potential disorganization exists in t

46、hose families in which A) the husband, wife, and children work too hard B) the husband, wife, and children seldom get together C) both parents have to work full time D) the family members are subject to social pressures34. Intermarriage and different occupations play an important role in family disorganization be- cause A) they enable the children to travel around without their parents permission B) they allow one
