    　　In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history，the earth's postwar era，there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day． Already today，less than forty years later，as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives，we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem．People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority．Indeed，they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed，or that a computer may simply malfunction（失误）．

    　　Obviously，there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers，but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the ma-chine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong．

    　　Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good

    科目：高中英语 来源：2012-2013学年福建省三明市高三第二次月考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

    I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.

    I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.

    It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.

    Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.

    The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.

    It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.

    1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?

    A．I was waiting for good fortune.

    B．I was trying to find an admirable job.

    C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.

    D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.

    2.The author decided to write a novel ______ .

    A．to finish the writing course

    B．to realize her own dream

    C．to satisfy readers’ wish

    D．to earn more money

    3.How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?

    A．Disturbed.

    B．Ashamed.

    C．Confident.

    D．Uncertain.

    4.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?

    A．It pays to stick to one’s goal.

    B．Hard work can lead to success.

    C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.

    D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something.

    China may be the world's most populous country ,and it won the most gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. But its prowess at soccer is lamentable. China is ranked 84th in the sport's world standing.

    Chinese are huge soccer fans, and hundreds of millions are expected to tune in to the World Cup, with all the matches broadcast live on public TV. But this time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for.

    "Chinese have a reputation of being good at math, but they have trouble explaining why a population of 1.3 billion cannot produce a winning 11-member soccer team," said Xu Guoqi, a history professor at the University of Hong Kong. Journalists and soccer fans offer a number of reasons, most often money issues, politics, corruption（腐败）and culture, and sometimes a combination of the four.

    Even though China now boasts wealthy companies and individuals who could sponsor（赞助） teams, there is little support as long as Chinese teams are perceived as perennial losers. "This is a very bad circle," Ma said. "No results, no money. No money, no results."

    Few Chinese children are playing soccer. Some sports journalists and fans attribute the lack of interest partly to schools de-emphasizing sports in general and the lack of playing venues in the country's dense urban areas. "What can Chinese kids do?” said Fan Huiming, 61, a Chinese soccer fan who grew up watching matches at Beijing's Workers' Stadium, which was built in 1958 near his childhood home. "If they play soccer, the ball may fly directly into the glass of someone's home."

    For young people, soccer has largely been eclipsed by basketball, thanks in part to Chinese NBA players who are treated like rock stars. Journalists and fans say NBA's aggressive campaign of marketing and merchandise in China has helped swell the popularity of basketball. By comparison, they noted that international soccer does not even have an office in China.

    Rowan Simons, a Briton who came to China more than two decades ago and discovered he wasn't able to play weekend soccer, has been on a campaign to popularize the sport here. Simons said the main problem is that soccer elsewhere has traditionally started as a series of neighborhood clubs, but in China, "there's virtually no football at community level".

    "Football in China can only succeed if it's a grass-roots activity organized by the people," he said.

    1.This time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for in the World Cup because__________.

    A．China is ranked 84th in soccer 's world standing.

    B．they are angry about why China cannot produce a winning soccer team.

    C．the Chinese huge soccer fans support other soccer teams.

    D．the Chinese soccer team is not capable to go as far as the final part of the World Cup.

    2.Why are few Chinese children playing soccer?

    A.No results, no money. No money, no results.

    B.If the footballs fly directly into the glass of someone's home,they’ll be criticised.

    C there is little support from wealthy companies and individuals sponsoring teams.

    D.schools don’t pay much attention on sports and they lack playing venues in dense urban areas.

    3.The underlined word“eclipsed”in the six paragraph can be replaced by      .

    A．occupied.

    B．beaten.

    C．led.

    D．compared.

    4.According to Rowan,what can be inferred ?

    A．NBA players are more popular than soccer players in China.

    B．The future of Chinese football is rather promising.

    C．Chinese football should get into the life of ordinary people to survive.

    D．Grass-roots Chinese football players can be popular .
