―Time is a problem for kids,‖ states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries ―learn time slowly‖ because ―they don‘t wear watches‖ and ―parents don‘t really know how to teach them time‖ The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults –and then can‘t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course ---it‘s the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Filk Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course; it merely‖ captures their imagination‖ by presenting the ―hour‖ hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the ―minute‖ hand as a tall blue boy named Filk points to corresponding ―blue‖ minutes on the dial, while flak points to red hour numbers. The characters and the colors combined with parental help are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Liplin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it ―kid-proof‖: if it gets dirty, you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the U.S. for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it‘s quite another for them to be on time.
26. From the news report we know that __B_____ A. parents are patient when teaching children time B. children have little idea of how to teach children time C. children tend to learn time quickly
D. children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch 27. The author doesn‘t seem to believe __D___
A. children will be time if they have learnt how to tell time
B. a Flik Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell time C. the Flik Flak can capture children‘s imagination
D. children usually have trouble telling time if they don‘t wear watches. 28. The word ―handicap‖ (Para. 1, line3) means__D____ A. displease B. discouragement C. disappointment D. disadvantage 29. Flik and Flak in the passage stand for __B_____ A. a tall boy and a beautiful girl B. the minute hand the hour hand C. the Swiss watch company D. the designers of the watch
30. The Unite States sales manager calls the new watch ―kidproof‖ because __C___ A. it is designed to teach children to be on time B. it proves to be effective in teaching children time C. it is made so as not to be easily damaged by children D. it is the children‘s favorite watch Task 2
Oceanography has been defined as ―The application of all science to the study of the sea‖.
Before the 19th century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Centainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental teavelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question ―What is at the bottom of the ocean?‖ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engines had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantis Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which sounding were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantis and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book.
The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the
cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
31. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanography studies take on ____C____ A) an academic aspect B) a military aspect C) a business aspect D) an international aspect 32. It was_D___ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies A) the American navy B) some early international travelers
C) those who earned a living from the sea D) the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable 33. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was__D____ A) to make some sounding experiments in the oceans B) to collect samples of sea plants and animals C) to estimate the length of cable that was needed D) to measure the depths of two oceans
34. ―Defied‖ in Para.5, line3 probably means‖___C_____‖ A) doubled B) gave proof to C) challenged D) agreed to 35. This passage is mainly about ___A_____ A) the beginning of oceanography B) the laying of the first undersea cable C) the investigation of ocean depths D) the early intercontinental communications Task 3
A strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism on a long term basis is the difficulty to getting enough protein ---the body – building elements in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days or weeks(say, for religious reasons) you will have noticed that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast is over and you get your reward of an abundant meat meal.
Proteins are built up from approximately twenty food elements called ―amino-acids‖(氨基酸), which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino—acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism.
The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purpose, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams of protein a day, has to consume a greater bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be point out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day.
36. Why is the long-term vegetarianism objected to according to the passage?
_____________________haven‘t enough protein_____________________________ 37.The author‘s opinion of life- long vegetarianism is _____opposed/objected____________ 38. According to the passage, we feel weak when we ____don‘t eat meat________________ 39. What is in favor of vegetarianism according to Para.3
______________economy________________________________________________ 40. The expression ―In fairness‖ in the last paragraph can be replaced by the expression. ________________________fairly____________________________________________ Task 4
Let‘s look over the last year from three aspects: finance, personnel and technology.
On the financial side, the results have been very pleasing. Turnover has increased by 10%, costs have dropped by 2% and profits are by 13%. So the company as a whole has performed well. Export sales have done very well –especially in America, our largest export market. The domestic consumer market has been very competitive, so our results in this market
have been rather disappointing ---just 1% up compared with last year‘s 35% market share.
Right, let‘s move on to personnel. Our personnel has continued to be a great success. We have actually recruited 56new staff, while 18 have retired—so there‘s a net balance of 38. The training department has expanded considerably and moved into new areas such as quality assurance and moved into new areas such as quality assurance and sales training.
Finally technology, over the last year, our Research Department has thoroughly tested new prototype engine. Results so far have looked promising. We have also invested heavily in a European technology program which links industry with the universities.
