9、respondence（通信）was the letter .Letters were ,and are ,sent by some form of postal service ,the history of which goes back a long way. Indeed ,the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a thousand years later.Of course ,modern postal services now are much more develope

11、piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service .It was not until the early 1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax documents to each other.The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent ,but ,as a way of fast cor
12、respondence, it has been largely taken the place of by email. Email is used to describe messages sent from one computer user to another.There are advantages and disadvantages with emails. If you send someone an email, then he will receive it extremely quickly. Normal postal services are rather slow
13、as far as speed of delivery is concerned.However ,if you write something by email ,which you might later regret ,and send it immediately ,there is no chance for second thoughts. At least ,if you are posting a letter you have to address and seal（封）the envelope and take it to the post box .There is pl

17、e sick-leave, a survey (调查)showed on Wednesday.A survey carried out by care4free. net of over 2,700 European office workers from the UK, France and Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of computer equipment.“We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britai
18、n and in most advanced nations,” said Stephen White, a researcher from the Work Foundation. “The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion. Its certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way,” White added.A quarter of those using outdate
19、d computers in Britain said they were “quite” or “very dissatisfied” with their everyday job compared to 16 percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability the
20、y would take six or more days of sick-leave per year compared with the average worker. In France, where more workers use older computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment. In the UK, where more
21、workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number of women using old equipment doubled that of men.White pointed out that there were two sides to this problem, saying that continually having to deal with new technology and new equipment can also be a source of worry.
22、 “Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction, theres no question about it. But you also have to say that the frequent change of equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of dissatisfaction.”24The underlined word “this”(paragraph 3) refers to .Aworkplace dissatisfactionBco

25、erent attitudes to old computers.CI had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of ye
26、ars”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的) woman said to me, “If only I sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she woul
27、d be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadnt insisted on my mothers going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. Its my fault that shes
28、 dead.”You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course -keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation- would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any wo
29、rse?There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really e
30、xist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling ma
31、y lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons(召唤) the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when h
32、e is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.28. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A. They werent used to the cold and the snow.B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C. They lived out a
33、natural life.D. They died due to lack of care by family members.29. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because _.A. they couldnt find a better way to express their sorrow.B. they believed that they were responsibleC. they had neglected the natural course of eventsD. they didnt know
34、 things often turn in the opposite direction30. Which of the following is True according to the writer? A. People should feel guilty when everything turned out wrong. B. Peoples childhood view makes them believe that their wishes cause things to happen. C. Every effect has its cause. D. Babies belie
35、ve that they make things turn out the opposite.31. Whats the idea of the message? A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery B. Every story should have a happy ending C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the peopl
36、e who passed away DFor those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villagesDistances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet plane fly people from
37、 one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured（忍受）
38、. The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On b
39、oard a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are
40、 conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent
41、. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation
42、. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls peoples lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing or so we are told. Perhaps tho
43、se first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.32.What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?A.Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.B.The spee
44、d of modern travel has made distances relatively shortC. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.33. According to Paragraph 3 passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because_.A.they pay less for
45、 the tickets B.they feel safer during the travelC.they can enjoy higher speed of travel D. they dont have to waste time being “processed”34. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?A. They enjoy free and relaxing travel. B.They needed the clock to tell the time.C.They preferred traveling on
46、horseback. D.They could travel with their master.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Air travel benefits people and industries. B.Train travel has some advantages over air travel.C.Great changes have taken place in modern travel.D.The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.第二节 （共5小题；每小题
