Read the two passages and answer the questions. (10 points)
Passage 1
The term “knowledge industries”,” knowledge work” and “ knowledge workers” are only 40 years old. They were coined around 1960, simultaneously but independently. Now everyone uses them, but as yet hardly anyone understands their implications for human values and human behavior, for managing people and making them productive, for economics and for politics. What is already clear, however, is that the emerging knowledge society and knowledge economy will be radically different from the society and economy of the late 20th century, in the following ways.
First, the knowledge workers, collectively, are the new capitalists. Knowledge has become the key resources, and the only scarce one. This means that knowledge workers collectively own the means of production. But as a group, they are also capitalists in the old sense: through their stakes in pension funds and mutual funds, they have become majority shareholders and owners of many large businesses in the knowledge society.
Effective knowledge is specialized. That means knowledge workers need access to an organization－a collective that brings together an array of knowledge workers and applies their specialisms to a common endproject. The most gifted mathematics in a secondary school is effective only as a member of the faculty. The most brilliant consultant on product development is effective only if there is an organized and competent business to convent her advice into action. The greatest software designer needs a hardware producer. But in turn the high school needs the mathematics teacher, the business needs the expert on product development, and the PC manufacturer needs the software programmer. Knowledge workers therefore see themselves as equal to those who retain their service as “professionals” rather than as “employees”. The knowledge society is a society of seniors and junior rather than of bosses and subordinates.
51. In the first paragraph, the author lay stress mainly on_______
A. the concept of knowledge work
B. the emerging knowledge society
C. the late 20th century society
D. new ways to manage people
52. The second paragraph mainly tells us that in the knowledge society_______.
A. knowledge is an important form of capital
B. knowledge workers will be working for the new capitalists
C. the resource of knowledge will be scarce
D. knowledge workers will control all large businesses
53. We can learn from the third paragraph that in the knowledge society_______
A. knowledge workers will thrive independently of organizations
B. knowledge will be more effective than now
C. knowledge workers and organizations thrive on each other
D. businesses need advice to develop their products
54. In the knowledge society, according to the author, the employeremployee relationship is radically different form what is known now in that_______
A. high schools need brilliant math teachers
B. a group of knowledge workers apply their specialized knowledge to a common endproject
C. knowledge workers no longer belong to organizations
D. knowledge workers are equal to their employers
55. The best title for the reading passage would probably be_______.
A. New Capitalists in Knowledge Industry
B. Knowledge Economy in the Late 20th Century
C. Characteristics of the Knowledge Society
D. New Relationship Between the Employer and the Employee
Passage 2
What difference does it make if we read text displayed on a computer screen instead of on paper printed with ink? The computer certainly does not guarantee deeper comprehension, greater subtlety of mind, or a wide range of imaginative reference. The mediation of a computer, however, put new powers at the disposal of intelligence. For one thing, the computer itself can do simple reading. As I have noted, it can “read” an immense body of literature in search of designated words. As anyone knows, a reader may spend days in libraries in search of errant information, simply identifying relevant sources. The objection may be raised that a search of texts by computer may block the serendipitous (偶遇的)discoveries that occur while browsing in the stacks of great libraries. No member of the academy need fear that the use of a computer will keep him from the stacks, but browsing is, if anything, easier if texts can be called up on a screen in the serenity of one’s chosen surroundings.
The great deficiency of libraries, as we know them, is that while titles are catalogued, the libraries have no master indexes of the contents of books. Individual volumes, it is true, have indexes, often of inferior quality, but even the best indexes must be examined one at a time. The great advantage of the electronic library is that a computer could search and analyze its contents without proceeding volume by volume. As work in artificial intelligence develops, computer systems may also become adept at more complex tasks, such as summarizing texts, which has been accomplished experimentally.
56.What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?
A. The deficiencies of the library in providing information.
B. The different applications of the computer and the library.
C. The advantages and disadvantages of the computer and library.
D. The advantages of the computer in search of information.
57.In the expression “an immense body of literature”(Paragraph 1), the world “literature” is closest in meaning to .
A. specific information for a research
B. printed material in general
C. words that are designated
D. fiction written by famous writers
58.The writer believes that reading by the computer is advisable chiefly because .
A. it saves a lot of time to find information needed
B. it reads more efficiently than a human mind
C. it covers a much wider range of reference
D. it guarantees reading efficiency and validity
59.According to the context, the “simple reading” done by the computer mostly refers to .
A. reading in search of intended information only
B.looking for unexpected information only
C.reading to locate texts to be used in teaching
D.reading to set up superior master indexes
60.The writer’s attitude towards the use of a computer can be best described as .
A. conservative
B. subjective
C. uncertain
D. favorable

I think the lighthouse keeper was a person that deserves our respect and admiration.
Life in the lighthouse seemed very simple and dull, but he had no desire for anything that he did not need or anything that was beyond his power to obtain. For this reason he declined the tobacco Rudolf offered.
Though his world was limited, his mind was as spacious as the ocean he lived close to. He was kind and generous to Rudolf, a stranger who had come to the lighthouse to seek shelter from the storm. He did not know what a violin was and had never heard music before, but he could understand Beethoven’s work Rudolf played for him.
He was a man of few words, and did not show much warmth towards Rudolf, but deep down he was greatly attached to his guest. To him the violin was part of the man he wanted to know more about, not something he was interested in because he had never seen it before.
