15、nology is the application (应用)of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a high
16、er standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has exten
17、ded our life span via medical technology. Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The adv
18、ancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes (代
19、用品) for many of them through our research programs. Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. A
20、s equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living. 36. What is the best title for the passage? A. The definition of technology B. Modern technology C. The application of technology D. The develo
21、pment of technology 37. From the passage, we can infer that this article is probably_. A. a part of the introduction to American business B. followed by the passage talking about factors of production C. taken from a learned journal D. Both A and B 38. Which is the main idea of the passage? A. Moder
22、n technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living. B. The three major factors of production-land, labor and capital are all influenced by technology. C. Technology is the response to our needs. D. The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology. 39. According to th
23、e passage, people can live a long life with the help of _. A. higher quality of life B. medical technology C. modern farming machinery D. technological substitute BIn some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18 000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire o
24、f 1871, or kill half a town of 2 400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire. But even with such successes, the United States still has one of th
25、e worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough. American fire departments are some of the worlds fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States
26、 has twice Japans population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire-safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them. Experts say the
27、error is an opinion that fires are not really anyones fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10 000 buildings, Japan
28、has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment. In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with match
29、es. The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped. 40. The reason why so many Ameri
30、cans die in fires is that_. A. they took no interest in new technology B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires C. they showed indifference to fighting fires D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment 41. It can be inferred from the passage that_. A. fire safety lessons shou
31、ld not be aimed only at American children B. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessons C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States D. Americas large population leads to more fires 42. Which of the following statements is true according to
32、the passage? A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate. B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate. C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate. D. The fire in
