Being able to multitask-- doing several things at the same time--is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle
a larger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also
surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music
on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in
fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
61. What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?
A. Want to buy.
B. Use at the same time.
C. Take the place of.
D. Search information from.
62. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.
A. family members do not greet each other B. family members do not eat at the family table C. young people get on well with their families D. young people hardly communicate with their family members
63. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs. B. Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets. C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people. D. Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.
64. Which of the following is TRUE
according to the passage?
A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work. B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again. C. Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills. D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.
65. The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by ________.
A. providing special examples B. following the natural time order C. giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effects D. comparing opinions from different worlds
C
In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was
unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In
those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young
men, or "stewards" helped the passengers onto the airplane and
carried the passengers' luggage (行李) but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen
Church invented the "stewardess".
Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn't
want to work on a farm or marry a farmer—she wanted a more adventurous (冒险的) life. Ellen studied to be a
nurse at the University
of Minnesota and then got
a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also
took flying lessons and got her pilot's license.
Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air
Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were
a man's world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she
realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot. But she had
another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because flying was still an
unreliable (不可靠的) way to
travel. There were often delays (延误), many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick.
Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T.
Agreed.
The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.
At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early "stewardesses" had to be under twenty-five-year old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.
In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, "stewardesses" have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past. 56. The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.
A. the word "stewardess" was made up by Ellen Church B. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane C. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a plane D. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane 52. From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.
A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girls B. Ellen's family was not rich enough to support her education C. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital D. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely 53. The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.
A. her flying
experience B. her university
education
C. her nursing experience D.
her life attitudes
54. According to the passage, in the 1940s a
woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.
A. be a nurse B. be married C. be a mother D. be young 55. The passage mainly talks about _______.
A. the background of early flying pilots B. the experience of flying passengers C. the history of early flight attendants D. the development of airplanes
B
A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain(鄙视).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you
can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond
you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the
beach.

friends.
