【正文】 the interviewee in a clinical interview? (A) The patient. (B) The physician. (C) The journalist. (D) The psychologist. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: The relationship between the home and market economies has gone through two distinct stages. Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes (. clothmaking, sewing and canning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious (費(fèi)力的 ) and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evidentthe marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them (eg. Electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant。re partly there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more parttime jobs. More people are selfemployed. But the breadth of the economic transformation can39。s geological history, can easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data es in and new theories are worked out. If we define the security our image of various parts of the total system as the probability of their suffering significant changes, then we would reverse the order of hardness and see the social sciences as the most secure, the physical sciences as the least secure, and again the biological sciences as somewhere in between. Our image of the astronomical universe is the least secure of all simply because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its recordkeeping is trivial as pared with the rich records of the social systems, or even the limited records of biological systems. Records of the astronomical universe, despite the fact that we see distant things as they were long ago, are limited in the extreme. Even in regard to such a close neighbour as the moon, which we have actually visited, theories about its origin and history are extremely different, contradictory, and hard to choose among. Our knowledge of physical evolution is inplete and highly insecure. 11. The word paradox (Para. 1, Line 1) means _____. (A) implication (B) contradiction (C) interpretation (D) confusion 12. According to the author, we should reverse our classification of the physical sciences as hard and the social sciences as soft because _____. (A) a reverse ordering will help promote the development of the physical sciences (B) our knowledge of physical systems is more reliable than that of social systems (C) our understanding of the social systems is approximately correct (D) we are better able to investigate social phenomena than physical phenomena 13. The author believes that our knowledge of social systems is more secure than that of physical systems because _____. (A) it is not based on personal experience (B) new discoveries are less likely to occur in social sciences (C) it is based on a fairly representative quantity of data (D) the records of social systems are more reliable 14. The chances of the physical sciences being subject to great changes are the biggest because _____. (A) contradictory theories keep emerging all the time (B) new information is constantly ing in (C) the direction of their development is difficult to predict (D) our knowledge of the physical world is inaccurate 15. We know less about the astronomical universe than we do about any social system because _____. (A) theories of its origin and history are varied (B) our knowledge of it is highly insecure (C) only a very small sample of it has been observed (D) few scientists are involved in the study of astronomy Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following: In the early days of nuclear power, the United States made money on it. But today opponents have so plicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years. The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor meltdown (堆內(nèi)熔化 ). Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten . public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgement to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But don39。s puters have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated color graphics (圖形 ), whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more patibility between the two panies39。s purpose in writing the passage is _____. (A) to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasions (B) to provide ways of how to obtain information about people (C) to call the reader39。 deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person39。 observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for。s opinion, are _____. (A) personal matters that should be seriously dealt with (B) barriers that should be done away with (C) as significant as disclosures and truthful statements (D) things people should guard against 5. The author39。s effort at making the Mackintosh patible with IBM puters and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase
