第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

I think machine power is better than human power because we cannot survive without our daily used machines like bikes, coolers, computers, etc.



Started on 14-Apr-2008 By Smith

Johnson

Yes, it’s very clear that machine power is better than man power. But machine power has its limitations (局限). It cannot survive without electricity and manhandling. If it doesn’t have these two then it is completely useless. So man should not completely depend on machines. One more point is that because of the use of machines man has become lazy. This laziness has brought in many problems like obesity, arthritis (关节炎) and other health problems. But I am not saying that man should completely turn from machine power to man power. He should have a balance of both. Even I can’t think of life without a car, a computer and a cooler.



Sally

9-May-2008

Humans only created the machines. So, human power is greater than machine power. To do the things quickly we created the machines. But machines cannot think. That thinking power beats machine power.



Tina

17-May-2008

But without humans there is no value of any machine. If someone wants to use his machine perfectly, then one must have expert labor or man power.



Tommy

19-May-2008

Hi to all, my opinion is that human power is more powerful than machine power, because human beings created the machines. Human brain works more compared to machines.



Mike

20-May-2008

I think human power is better than machine power because even if we travel on foot to near places the money will not be wasted and we can get exercise.



56. Who agrees with Smith generally?

A. Tommy. B. Tina. C. Sally. D. Johnson.

57. According to Johnson, man should ______.

A. keep a balance between human power and machine power.

B. completely depend on machine power.

C. turn from machine power to man power completely.

D. live a life without a car, a computer or a cooler.

58. Sally thinks that human power is better than machine power because ______.

A. machines are useless without electricity.

B. machine power can make people become lazy.

C. machines can’t think like human beings.

D. human brain can do things quickly.

59. Which of the following questions are the speakers talking about in the passage?

A. Will machine power defeat human power?

B. Which is better, human power or machine power?

C. What limitations does machine power have?
