填空题Information Technology 1982 was the year of information technology in Great Britain. But what exactly is infotech? 85% of the people polled recently had not a clue what it means, 1 53% of those polled said they thought it sounded 2 important. They were right. It is. So what is it? Well, put simply, it is the "marrying-up" of products 3 several key industries: computers, telephones, televisions, satellites. It means 4 microelectronics, telecommunication networks, and fibre optics to help produce, store, obtain and send information by 5 of words, numbers, pictures and sound more quickly and efficiently than ever before. The impact infotech is having and is going to have on our lives and work is tremendous. It is already linking the skills of the space industry 6 those of cable television, so programmes can be beamed directly into our homes 7 all over the world. Armies of "steel collar" workers, the robots, will soon be working in factories doing the boring, complex and dull jobs which are at present still 8 by man. In some areas the car industry this has already started. Television will also be used to 9 customers from the comfort of their homes by simply ordering 10 the TV screen, payment being made by direct debit of their credit cards. The automatic booking of tickets will also be done through the 11 screen. Cable television 12 in many countries now gives a choice of dozens of 13 will soon be used to 14 our homes by operating burglar and fire alarms linked to police and fire stations. Computers will run our homes, controlling the heating, air-conditioning and cooking systems while robots will cope with the housework. The friendly 15 will be a thing of the past as the post service and letters disappear with the electronic mail received via viewdata screens.

填空题So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is,every language appears to be well equipped as any other to say the (55)______things their speakers want to say. (56)______ There may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive (57)______peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice. Whereas this is not the (58)______fault of their language. The Eskimos, it is said, can speak about snow with further more precision and subtlety than we can in (59)______English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes mis-called 'primitive') is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not come to light a defect (60)______in English, a show of unexpected 'primitiveness'. The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in similar (61)______environments. The English language will be just as rich in terms (62)______for different kinds of snow if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinctions as important. (63)______ Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed the part of the (64)______Eskimos' llife.

填空题In the continuing saga of how buying and selling on the Net is getting seriously weird (怪诞 的，不可思议的), the latest chapter puts power in the hands of sellers. This is a surprising turn—the Net has mostly been an advantage to customers—and we can expect buyers to strike back with surprises of their own, may even with political surprise, because some of this is going to make people mad. (21) You remember yield management: The airlines figured it out in the mid-80s as a way of extracting maximum revenue from every flight, building giant computer systems that constantly adjust prices based on demand and other market conditions. Yield management is why you can call an airline for a fare. the mil back an hour later and the fare will be different. (22) The premise (前提) of yield management is that a particular seat on a particular flight is highly perishable; once a flight takes off with an unsold seat, you can never sell the seat. So you'd better sell it in time and price it right. Hotel executives quickly saw that hotel rooms are similar, so they adopted elaborate yield management systems. Soon conventional wisdom held that this was a terrific way to maximize revenue when selling services. Airline flights and hotel nights can be priced this way not because they're services but because they're perishable. Of course there are lots of goods that are perishable, so why don't yield management techniques work on them? They do—in theory. The problem is practical. Consider one of the largest categories of perishable products: clothing. (23) It's perishable because when it's manufactured, it's in fashion (or supposed to be), but eventually it won't be, so you need to sell it before it turns uncool (不时髦的). Thing is, a big store may stock tens of thousands of different clothing items. To do yield management, you have to work up an elaborate mathematical model of how each product performs in the market. Airlines sell only a few products (classes of seats); the thousands of flight segments, they handle involve less complex algorithms (数学用语；算法), or so they tell me. (24) Retailers faced the massive computational challenge of developing models for all their products and then counting all the numbers every night so they'd know how to price everything the next day. For years they just couldn't do it economically. Now they can, as computing power and storage get cheaper. Today, if you shop at Macy's or any of the several other retail chains, you may well be paying a price that came from large-scale computer models created by Ph. D. mathematicians and physicists. These companies happen to be clients of TSI, a Cambridge, Mass, out fit that develops pricing models for retailer clients. What's important about this technology is where it leads. Macy's won't reprise merchandise in its stores more than once a day, but on the Wed every price can be reset for every customer. (25) Since each transaction is private, you generally don't know what others are paying; nor do other shoppers know what you're paying. So the model can update prices continually to maximize gross margin.
