It wasn‘ t, of course. That computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric eve. The eye reads the Universal Product Code --- chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package --- and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory, If the price iist is right, you'll be charged accurately.

Grocery stores update the price list each day --- that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow ―a computer error\everything.

One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brains\with ―artifical intelligence.‖At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more mtelhgent than your average pen.

I came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen n each village, and it was impressive to see the peat variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.

Nowadays a traveller in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.

Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer lcmows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.

His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of :mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The icher customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced !igure, instantly obtains it for them.

31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are_____A____.

A. still very active B. quickly declining C. unable to flourish D. personal to visitors 32. The local grocer's shop is expanding because____C_____.

A. the competition there is weak B. it is a place for women to chat

C. it provides good personal service D. the goods there are more valuable 33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets? B

A. Prices there are much higher. B. Customers often have to queue up.

C. Customers can order by telephone. D. Their personal service~ are satisfactory. 34. How do the village grocer's assistants feel about giving extra service? A A. They don't think it a trouble. B. They don't think it worthwhile.

C. They don't consider it a good deal. D. They don't consider it a pleasant experience. 35. One speciat feature of the village shop is that_____D_____.

A. there is a very wide range of goods available B. customers can order goods by word of mouth

C. customers have to order goods one hour earlier D. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorsteps Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)

有些人认为家长应该为孩子安排未来的职业；孩子认为应该由自己决定将来的工作；谈谈你的看法。 Choosing careers

People have different views on children choosing their future careers. Some people hold that parents should decide for their children on their careers. While children think that they should consider their future careers on their own.

Those who hold the first opinion think that parents naturally have the responsibility for the choices of careers, which is very important for their children and themselves. Parents also think they are experienced enough to make a wiser decision in terms of career choices for their children. In contrast, children think they have right to make their own decisions, which is important for their growth. Furthermore, only children themselves know what the right jobs are for them.

As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter view. Admittedly, parents should gibe a helping hand when necessary, but children should decide their own future careers. Only in this way can children have more fulfilling careers and live a more successful life.

Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Passage One

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn‘t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet ―surfing‖ more convenient.
