单选题Editor: These days there has been a lot of talk about cutting a day off the sixday work week. I find one excuse for not taking this system (制度) unacceptable. It says that under today's conditions, when our work efficiency is still very low and the work-load quite heavy, we cannot follow the ex- ample of technologically advanced western countries in practising the five-day work week. Their conclusion is: The time is not ripe for such a system. I really don' t see much point in this argument (争论,论点). They say the efficiency of the majority of our workers has been very low, but do they know what caused today's low efficiency? It's old time requirement that no matter how soon you can get your work done, you must still stick to your post and never leave. If we do not start a new system that is more exciting now , there are few chances that the low efficiency in our work can be changed.

单选题A new kind of radar has been developed for spaceship travelers. A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makes use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate than the best comparable system of radar that uses microwaves. The model has shown that this radar system, known as laser-dopple radar, can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection(进入)velocities(速度)of five miles per second down to virtual stops-speeds of less than one-thousandth of an inch per second. According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous(对接) between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could rip open a ship's skin, or a nudge could knock the station out of its orbit. The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions of cycles(百万兆) per second, could easily detect and measure the movement of a vehicle edging up to a satellite space station. A control system using so precise a signal as this would allow a huge vehicle to dock at a space station as lightly as a feather.

单选题Kuwait is a country which is quite small, but which is very rich. It has a population of a little more than a million and it is situated at the north end of the Persian Gulf, between Iraq on the north and Saudi Arabia on the south. This small desert country is one of the world's leading oil producers and it has about 15 percent of the world's known petroleum (石油) reserves. Since the discovery of oil in 1938, Kuwait rulers have turned the country into a prosperous(繁荣) welfare (福利) state. It has free primary and secondary education, free health care and social services, and the Kuwait do not have to pay any personal income tax for those services. The rate (比率) of literacy (识字,有文化) is high and constantly growing. The University of Kuwait was opened in 1966, but many of the Kuwait students still study in colleges and universities abroad, at state expense. Ku- wait is an Arab country, about 99 percent of the people who live there are Moslems. But fewer than half of these Moslems are actually citizen of Kuwait. This is because there are many Moslems immigrants living and working there. The other percent of the population, in other words the non-Moslems, are recent immigrants who were attracted by the opportunities to work for the oil companies. There are several thousand Europeans and Americans in Kuwait. Many of them are employed by the oil companies.

单选题阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。{{B}}A{{/B}} In some parts of the United States, fanning is easy. But fanning has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England. New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging stumps (树桩) of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land. The work of removing stones never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones. That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields. The stone walls are not high; a man can easily climb over them. But they keep the farmer's cows from joining his neigh bour's COWS.
