For two decades after World War II,
mass production reigned supreme. Mass-production techniques pushed companies
into standardized products, long product life cycles, and rigid manufacturing,
emphasizing efficiency and low cost over flexibility. Special orders cost more.
But today's consumers are very choosy. They want quality, value and products
specially tailored to their needs, but always at the lowest possible price. For
now mass customization has come to the fore. Mass customization uses
information technology to produce and deliver products and services designed to
fit the specifications of individual customers. Companies can customize
products in quantities as small as one with the same speed and low cost as
mass-production methods. Mass-customization systems use information taken from
the customer to control the flow of goods.
76.We learn from the passage that
mass production -- .
A)has now regained its previous popularity
B)was the leading method of production in the twenty years or so that followed
World War II
C)can easily be adapted to meet the needs of individual customers
D)can be very profitable because of the wide appeal of its goods
E)gives priority to quality and longevity in the goods produced but ignores
aesthetic qualities
77.We learn from the passage that one
of the characteristics of mass production is -?.
A)the need to please every customer
B)a disregard for flexibility
C)a disregard for cost-effectiveness
D)to take into consideration the specifications given by individual customers
E)the rescheduling of production as the need arises
78.By the phrase "mass
customization", as it is used in the passage, is meant the production of
goods ?-.
A)in very large quantities and for general use
B)to meet standardized specifications which will please everyone
C)at high speed regardless of cost
D)designed to have a long life
E)designed to meet the specific needs of individual
customers
79.According to the passage,
present-day customers ?-.
A)are encouraged to buy ready-made goods available in the shops
B)are pleased far more easily than customers were in the past
C)do not attach much importance to production methods
D)specify what they want and insist on getting it
E)rarely distinguish between standardized and non-standardized goods
80.The point is made in the passage
that mass customization ?-.
A)is no more costly and no more time-consuming than mass production
B)is a system that dates back to the end of World War ll
C)has actually never been as popular as mass production
D)is primarily concerned with efficiency but overlooks quality
E)does not attach much importance to flexibility

Before the Polish-born
French-American mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot made his mark on the world,
scientists liked to forget about the imperfections and irregularities of
nature. The study of perfect squares, triangles and planes had dominated their
field for over 2,000 years, since the Greek geometer Euclid wrote maths' oldest
treatise "Elements" and provided us with the tools to measure these
flawlessly smooth shapes. Early question about how to measure the real shape of
a tree, a coastline or anything with a rough edge could not be tackled by
Euclidean geometry and had therefore been ignored. But Mandelbrot changed all
this when he invented fractal geometry, which enables us to measure roughness.
"My whole career has been one long, ardent pursuit of the concept of
roughness", he says. "The roughness of clusters in the physics of
disorder, of turbulent flows, of exotic noises, of chaotic dynamical systems,
of the distribution of galaxies, of coastlines, of stock-price charts and of
mathematical constructions."
81.It is clear from the passage that,
before Mandelbrot's concepts attracted the attention of the scientific world,
?.
A)mathematics followed the lead of Euclid and concentrated on regular shapes
B)everyone felt that Euclidean geometry was inadequate
C)scientists relied on Euclidean geometry to measure trees and exotic noises
D)Mandelbrot almost lost confidence in the concept of roughness
E)Mandelbrot was careful to limit the scope of his studies into roughness
82.According to the passage,
Euclidean geometry can, in a way, be regarded as having had a negative effect
upon the development of mathematics because it ?.
A)can be neither substantiated nor disproved
B)is too involved with measurement
C)makes the investigation of roughness impossible
D)is far too comprehensive
E)put forward the concept of roughness
83.It is clear from the passage that
Mandelbrot ?.
A)only began to work on the concept of roughness at a later stage in his career
B)finds the concept of roughness immensely exciting, and apparent in widely
different areas
C)worked on the concept of roughness because he wanted to prove that Euclid's
theories were contradictory
D)didn't discover fractal geometry but worked to extend its uses
E)has still to convince the scientific world of the value of fractal geometry
84.One point made in the passage is
that Euclidean geometry ?.
A)has led to a better appreciation of the irregularities in nature
B)has had to be modified in the light of new discoveries
C)has been shown to be invalid
D)is not universally applicable
E)doesn't deserve the respect it has enjoyed for 2,000 years
85.According to the passage, fractal
geometry ?.
A)makes possible the measurement of anything with a rough edge
B)is actually, as regards method, very similar to Euclidean geometry
C)is merely an extension of Euclidean geometry
D)is well on the way to replacing Euclidean geometry entirely
E)is just one of several remarkable innovations propounded by Mandelbrot

Therapists have to be very careful
before they make a diagnosis of delusional disorder. A great many complaints
are founded on fact. It is possible that a patient is really being harassed at
work, that her husband is deceiving her, or that her business partner is
cheating her. Indeed, therapists must be careful not to mislabel facts as
delusions, a trap known as "the Martha Mitchell effect". Martha
Mitchell was the wife of former US attorney general John Mitchell. In October
1972, he was accused of having ordered the break-in at the Democratic campaign
headquarters in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. Mrs Mitchell repeatedly
told the press that her husband was being made a scapegoat to protect the real
culprit - President Richard M. Nixon. The White House spread disinformation
about Mrs Mitchell, saying she had a drinking problem and implying that her
statements were delusional. When the scandal was ultimately unravelled, Mrs
Mitchell's statements were proved true and she was shown to be utterly sane and
with no drinking problem.
86.The passage draws attention to the
fact that ?.
A)John Mitchell had indeed violated the law on several occasions

Recent activity in several US church
communities has seemed almost unbelievable: churchgoers have gathered around
huge fires and cheered as they cast Harry Potter books into the flames. They
fear that the incredibly popular series about a school for young wizards is
spurring children and adolescents toward a life of witchcraft and onto the
dangerous path toward Satanism. For these congregations, J.K. Rowling's books
are none other than the work of the devil herself. To most people, however, the
Harry Potter books and films are merely compelling adventure stories, not a
threat to children's psyches. But what has been forgotten in the excitement of
"Pottermania" is that boys and girls have been fascinated by magic
and sorcery for generations. Surveys about magical practices among adolescents
vary widely, but some indicate that as many as 44 per cent have shown some
slight, passing interest in it. Although satanically motivated violence occasionally
makes headlines, research shows that less than 5 per cent of young people take
part in more extensive witchcraft, and very few end up in the kind of organized
devil worship that can lead to such acts as ritual murder.
91.The attitude of the writer of the
passage towards the burning of the Harry Potter books by various church
communities is -?.
A)an understanding one, as many young people have been led astray by these
books
B)one of deep anger
C)sympathetic as basically he believes they are right about the ill-effects of
the Harry Potter books
D)one of amazement at their response
E)one of repulsion at their hysteria and fanaticism
92.One point emphasized in the
passage is that the interest of young people in magic ?.
A)is no more dangerous than their love of adventure
B)needs to be recognized by society and firm action taken
C)really is largely due to the Harry Potter stories
D)is by no means a new development
E)should be encouraged as it is perfectly harmless
93.According to the passage, though a
fair number of young people have felt a vague, temporary interest in magic, ?.
A)it has always been easy to convince them of its dangers
B)few have become seriously involved
C)they have never, in any way, been harmed by it
D)most do not even know the meaning of Satanism
E)this never continues into adolescence
94.In the passage, though the writer
does not want to make a big issue of the matter of witchcraft, he --.
A)would like more surveys and studies to be carried out on it
B)feels it should receive more public attention
C)admits that it can, on occasion, lead to terrible events
D)hopes that "Pottermania" will soon die out of its own accord
E)believes that all cases of satanically motivated violence should make the
headlines and so serve as warnings
95.According to the passage, those
who burn the Harry Potter books ?.
A)have previously burned other popular books
B)are actually indulging in a form of witchcraft themselves
C)mostly do so without having first read the books
D)are being accused, quite unfairly, of displaying extremist attitudes
E)do so because they believe these books encourage young people to turn to witchcraft
