Passage 1
Legal and accounting firms throughout Australia could streamline their advice to clients se eking a divorce with a new expert program that “thinks" like Family Court judges.
The software package, appropriately called “Split UP" was developed by Dr. John Zelezniko w and a team of researchers in La Trobe University's Department of Computer Science.
It is the first in the world designed to weigh up court judgments in previous cases to pred ict the way property would be divided for a particular divorce if proceeded to court.
While anyone can get a divorce, the rules on the division of property are up to the judg e. Deciding who gets what is a complex procedure based on future needs and past contributio ns.
Split up, which can be installed on any PC, asks a sequence of relevant questions about th e health, work history, children, property and future needs of the partners in a divorce. I t then decides what percentage allocation to each partner would be in court and provide
s a series of arguments in favour of the decision.
Its major advantage, says Dr. Zeleznikow, is that people are less likely to litigate once t hey know the likely court outcome. “Let's say the program predicts that each partner wil
l get $250 000 from a property settlement. If they go to court the cost to each could b
e $ 50 000 to litigate. This is a powerful incentive to negotiate instead."
The La Trobe research team has attracted international attention for its development of sys tems which can reason with both statutes (rules) and precedents (cases). The systems are be ing used in fields which include legal aid and credit law.
1. ________ in the passage means “previous cases”.
A. Statutes
B. Precedents
C. Clients
D. Incentives
2. What is not taken into consideration during a divorce case?
A. The family house.
B. The bank deposit.
C. The time duration of the marriage.
D. Children's education.
3. Split Up can do all but_______ .
A. to persuade the judge that its decision is the right one
B. to recall past divorce cases when necessary
C. to seek and then process the information it need
D. to do complex calculation and reasoning
4. The second “it" in Para. 3 refers to _______.
A. the software
B. a particular divorce
C. the way the property would be divided
D. a previous case
5. What is NOT implied in the passage?
A. Family Law Court judges judge according to both rules and precedents.
B. If the parties in a divorce know they will not profit from a lawsuit, they would settl
e outside the court.
C. There is clear-cut law on how to divide property between parties in a divorce.
D. Split Up will help reduce the number of divorce cases presented in court.
Passage 2
The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market place
s despite their product's obvious advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure fo r instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find th e cause of the consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason give n by most people was dislike for the taste. The producer suspected that there might be deep er reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation research's classic studies, on e often cited in the trade.
Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were iden tical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, b read, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specifieD. Th e seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read “one pound Maxwell House coffee" on th e list and “Nescafe instant coffee" on the other. One list was given to each one in a grou p of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. The wome n were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of wo man (“personality and character")who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of thos e who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy an d a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housew ife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggeste d that she was probably not a good wife. No one in the other group drew such a conclusion a
bout the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.
6. In the opinion of instant coffee producers, ________.
A. people should buy regular coffee
B. regular coffee is superior to instant coffee
C. instant coffee should have a good market because of its obvious advantages
D. the advertising expenditure for regular coffee is very great
7. In this instance, the purpose of motivation study was to discover ___________.
A. why there were deeper reasons
B. why instant coffee did not taste good
C. why regular coffee was successful
D. the reason why people resisted instant coffee
8. The list on which “Nescafe instant coffee" was written as an item was given to a grou p consisting of _______.
A. 7 people
B. 7 women
C. 14 people
D. 50 women
9. On the result of this test, the producers of instant coffee probably would advertise o n TV to show a _______.
A. lazy wife drinking instant coffee
B. stupid wife using instant coffee
C. hard-working woman drinking instant coffee
D. good wife using regular coffee
10. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. It is reasonable for people to resist instant coffee.
B. People pay little attention to advertising.
C. Advertising does not always assure favorable sales results.
D. Regular coffee has better taste than instant coffee.

1. Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3,000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death. Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised. First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent . Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth. 1. According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____. A. traffic accidents B. smoking-related diseases C. murder D. all of these 2. Every day there are over _____young people who will become regular smoker. A. 75 B. 23 C. 30 D. 3,000 3. By "dropout" (in paragraph 3) the author means______. A. students who failed the examination

大学英语3作业题及答案
精品文档阅读理解题分第1题 (20) Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage and such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between a writerwriting. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours at a typewriter. “You have got to want to write,”I said to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. and began to doubt After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a breakmyself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I to write. I had dreamed about it for many years. I wasn't going to be one wanted of those people who died wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to test (even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. ．阅读理解1 (4.0) 分 The passage is meant to _______ . warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experience 、A advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer B、 show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth C、 D、encourage young people to pursue a writing career 2．阅读理解 (4.0) 分 What can be concluded from the passage? 精品文档． 精品文档 rewarding. ａｎｄ、Genuine writers often find their work interesting A

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮光物)against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the 11 century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority.
