A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It is all translated to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we\"ve partly been there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many or these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breadth of the economic transformation can\"t be measured by numbers alone, because it is also giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held notions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers--all these are being changed.We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip(集成电路), would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow\"s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more vital, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information services will be predominant. It will be the way you do your job.
36. A characteristic of the information age is that
A. the service industry is relying more and more on the female work force.
B. manufacturing industries are steadily increasing.
C. people find it harder to earn a living by working in factories.
D. most of the job opportunities can now be found in service industry.
37. One of the great changes brought about by the knowledge society is
A. the difference between the employee and the employer has become insignificant.
B. people\"s traditional concepts about work no longer hold true.
C. most people have to take part-time jobs.
D. people have to change their jobs from time to time.
38. By referring to computers and other inventions, the author means to say that
A. people should be able to respond quickly to the advancement of technology.
B. future achievements in technology will bring about inconceivable dramatic changes.
C. the importance of high technology has been overlooked.
D. computer science will play a leading role in the future information services.
39. The future will probably belong to those who
A. possess and know how to make use of information.
B. give full play to their brain potential.
C. involve themselves in the service industry.
D. cast their minds ahead instead of looking back.
40. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Computers and the Knowledge Society.

Second, the amount of available labor helps determine the health of an economy.Generally, the United States has been fortunate in having enough people to provide the labor necessary for a constantly expanding economy. It is true that at times the country has experienced periods of acute unemployment as well as labor shortages, but on the whole immigrants came when work was plentiful and the economy grew fast enough to absorb them, providing they were willing to work productively at slightly less than the wage rates paid to the acculturated workers. They were willing, and they prospered, earning far more than they would have in their native lands. As a result, the economy of the nation also prospered.A third factor is the quality of available labor. In assessing the success of an economy one must ask how hard the people are willing to work and how skilled they are. The frontier demanded hard work, and the Protestant religious ethnics supported that demand. Further, the strong emphasis placed on education, including technical and vocational education, also contributed to America\"s economic success. Likewise, the willingness to experiment, to change, and to invest in technology was significant in a land that prided itself on being a new experiment in freedom.
However, the existence of abundant natural resources and a skillful and willing labor force accounts for only part of the story. These resources must be directed as efficiently as possible into the area where they will be most productive. In the American economy, Capital and management perform this function.
41. The 1st paragraph tells us that the economic system of a nation depends largely on
A. production and distribution of goods.
B. human needs.
C. political decision.
D. the combination of resources, labor force and talents.
42. The words "blessed" (Line 2, Paragraph 2) could be replaced by
A. beneficial.B. plentiful.
C. lucky.
D. bearish.
43. From the 3rd paragraph we can conclude that immigrants to the U.S.
A. made an important contribution to the prosperity of the country.
B. received less pay because they were unskilled.
C. always came when there were plenty of work for them.
D. could work more productively when labor was in shortage.
44. What is this text mainly about?
A. the history of the American economy.
B. the reasons for the success of the American economy.
C. resources and labor problems in the U.S.
D. policies of the American economy.
45. The following paragraphs will probably deal with
A. how abundant natural resources are made full use of.
B. how money and management function in the economy.
C. how labor force accounts for economic growth.D. how the American economy keeps productive.

The competition among products of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best, most innovative products to the marketplace. Marketers in this environment frequently have to make a judgement as to their competitors\" role when making marketing strategy decisions. If major competitors are changing their products, then a marketer may want to follow suit to remain competitive. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Mackintosh II and Mackintosh SE, in anticipation of the introduction of a new PC by IBM, one of Apple\"s major competitors.
Apple\"s new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including IBM-compatible(兼容的) programs. This compatibility feature illustrates computer manufacturers\" new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running IBM computers and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also add accessories(附件) to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want to step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high-price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.
Even though Apple and IBM are major competitor, both companies realize that their competitor\"s computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated color graphics (图形) , whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies\" products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.
46 .According to the text, Apple Computer, INC. has introduced the Mackintosh II and the Mackintosh SE because
A. IBM is changing its computer models continuously.
B. it wants to make its machines specialize in specific uses.
C. it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer market.
D. it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its example.
47. Apple hopes to increase Mackintosh sales chiefly by
A. making its new models capable of running IBM software.
B. improving the color graphics of its new models.
C. copying the marketing strategies of IBM.
D. giving the customers what they want.
48. Apple sells its new computers at high prices because
A. they have few features and price functions.
B. they are more sophisticated than other models.
C. they have new accessories attached.
D. it want to accumulate funds for future research.
49. It can be inferred that both Apple and IBM try to gain a competitive advantage by
A. copying each other\"s technology.
B. incorporating features that make their products distinctive.
C. making their computers more expensive.
D. making their computers run much faster.
50. The main topic of the passage might be
A. Apple\"s efforts to stay ahead of IBM.
B. Apple\"s new computer technology.
C. Apple\"s new personal computer.
D. Apple\"s research activities.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and respectable occupations. Personal consultants give better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants ( 被告 ) . But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way UP the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Increasingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the one clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduates to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
51. The word "liability" (Line 5, Paragraph 1) most probably means
A. misfortune.
B. instability.
C. disadvantage.
D. burden.
52. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness
A. reinforces the female qualities required.
B. makes women look more honest and capable.
C. is of primary importance to women.
D. often enables women to succeed quickly.
53. Bowman\"s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness
A. turns out to be an obstacle.
B. affects men and women alike.
C. has as little effect on men as one women.
D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women.
54. It can be inferred from the passage that people\"s views on beauty are often
A. practical.
B. prejudiced.
C. old-fashioned.
D. radical.
55. The author writes this passage to
A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractive.
B. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive.
C. demand equal rights for women.
