"High tech" and "state of the art" are two expressions that describe the modem technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech？ A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modem manufacturing (生产) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1955’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc.

"State of the art" is something that is as modem as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modem electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.

"State of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modem way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were "state of the art".

Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression "state of the art" became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art".

What is the purpose of the passage？________ 查看材料

A.To tell how "high tech" and "state of the art" have developed.

B.To give examples of "high tech".

C.To tell what "high tech" and "state of the art " are.

D.To describe very modem technology.

Is this truly the best modern education？ Perhaps. But every educator would add or subtract a few subjects. And no matter what list of courses would be offered, it would not be approved by all. Not only do the professors have their own ideas on the matter, but the students have theirs' too. “I don't believe, ”protested a Harvard student when his university revised its programs, “I don't believe that colleges have the fight to define what an educated person is. ”But then, who has？

Television has changed the lifestyle. of people in everyindustrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologistshave studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.

Television, although not essential, has become an importantpart of most people’s lives. It alters people&39;s ways of seeing the World; inmany ways, it supports and sustains(维持) modem life. Televisionhas become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitterof culture and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in oneday is critically .analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not ateacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate(提高)people into greater, understanding, but rather maintains and encouragesthe life as it exists.

The primary reason for the lack of quality in Americantelevision is related to both the history of TV programming development and theeconomics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companiesand their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationshipwhich the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American.TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actuallyproduced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarilyconcerned" with reflecting and attracting society rather thanexperimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewingaudience possible&39;. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining ratherthan educational, attractive rather than challenging.

Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with thesame organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope forfurther development and true achievement-toward improving society will requirea change in the entire system.

According to theauthor， American television is poor in quality because________ 查看材料

A.advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideas

B.it is still at an early stage of development， compared withthe radio

C.the programs have to be developed in the interests of thesponsors for economic reasons

D.it is controlled by radio companies

Butthere isa vital distinction between good developments, which add to the language,enabling us to say things wecould not say before, and bad developments, whichsubtract from the language by rendering it less precise. Avivacious, colorfuluse of words is not to be confused with mere slovenliness. The kind ofslovenliness in whichsome professionals deliberately indulge is perhaps akin tothe cult (迷信). of theunfinished work, which haseroded most of the arts in our time.

Questions61-65are based on the followingpassage.

Language is, and should be, a livingthing, constantly enriched with new words and forms of expression.
