Choose the one that you think is the correct answer., Mark you choice on your answer s
27、heet.TEXT AIn the town of Peppard, a computer helps firemen. The computer contains information about every one of the 15 000 street addresses in the town. When firemen answer a call, the computer files them important information about the burning building. The computer can give the location of the b
28、uilding and its size, type, and contents. In fact, the compute system has many different ways of helping fire fighters with their problems. For example, it can give medical information about sick people living in a burning building. With this information, the firemen can take special care to find th
29、ese sick persons and remove them quickly and safely from the burning building. The speed at which the computer works is amazing. Within two or three seconds after a call is received, the computer provides necessary information for the fireman. The information is then sent tot them by radio from the
30、computer center in Town Hall.The computer system also contains a medical record of each of the towns 110 firemen. This kind of information is especially useful when a fire fighter is injured. With this medical information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injured fireman more quickly and easily
31、.The firemen themselves are grateful for the computers help. The computer tells them about possible dangers ahead of them and helps them prepare for these dangers. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property. Sometimes the lives are those of firemen themselves. 66. The compu
32、ter helps fireman in the following ways EXCEPT _A. locating the building on fire.B. giving information on address.C. locating firemans problems.D. providing medical care.67.

34、They provide important information about injuries.69. The main idea of the passage is about _A. firemen and firefighting.B. necessary medical information.C. the usefulness of the computer.D. the quick speed of the computer.TEXT BLarge companies need way to reach the savings of the public. The same p
35、roblem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the money needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term loans, they are generally unwilling to provide mon
36、ey on a permanent basis for long term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. They do this by issuing stocks and shares through the stock exchange. By doing so they can put into use the
37、savings of individuals and institutions.When the savers want to have his money back, he does not have to got to the company which has borrowed his money. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by indu
38、stry, and by each of us are provided by the Government. Without hospital, roads, electricity, telephone, railways, etc., the country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment if they are to server us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone.
39、the Government and industries there for frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, go to the stock exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in the country whose job or whose standard of living dos not depend on the ability of his or her employer to raise money t
40、o finance new development. In one way or another new money must come from the savings of the country. The stock exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need money.70. Companies must _ for money for long-term development.A. go to banksB. ask other organiza
41、tionsC. turn to the publicD. go to acquaintances71. The stock exchange manages _A. company business.B. company shares. C. company projects.D. company profits.72. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. The authorities provide many necessary services.B. Hospital, railways etc. are essenti
42、al to a country.C. The Government need to borrow from the stock exchange.D. Taxes can raise all the money needed for improvement.73. The main idea of the passage is about _A. functions of the stock exchange.B. company financial needs.C. roles of the stockbroker.D. essential public services.TEXT C It
43、 is generally agreed that the first true cities appeared about 5 000 years ago in the food-producing communities of the Middle East. The cities of Sumeria, Egypt and the Indus Valley possessed a number of characteristics which distinguished them a truly urban. The cities were very much larger and mo
44、re densely populated than any previous settlement, and their function was clearly differentiated from that of the surrounding villages. In the cities the old patterns of kinship relations were replaced by a complex hierarchy of social classes based on the specialization of labor. Moreover, the need
45、to keep records led to the development of writing and arithmetic, and the increased sophistication of urban society gave a new impetus to artistic expression of every kind.When the basis of city life was established in Europe the urban tradition was drawn from the ancient cities of the Middle East,
46、via the civilizations of Greece and Rome, we can trace three main phases in the growth of the West European city. The first of these is the medieval phase, which extends from the beginning of the 11th century A. D to about 1 500. The second is the renaissance and Baroque phase. Which can be traced f
47、rom about 1 500 to the beginning of the 19th century. The third is the modern phase, extending from the early 19th century to the present day.Every medieval city began as a small settlement which grew up round a geographical or cultural focal point. This would often be a permanent structure such as
48、a stronghold, a cathedral or a large church. In districts where travel and trade were well established, it might be a market, a river crossing, or a place where two or more trade routes met. In studies of urban geography other oldest part of a town is referred to as the nuclear settlement. There are
49、 many small towns in Europe where it is still possible to trace the outline of the original nuclear settlement. It is, of course, much more difficult to do this in the case if a large modern city which has grown to may times its original size.74. The ancient cities were characterized by all the following EXCEPT _A. la
