Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage．
A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco． A street musician，whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days，was playing the saxophone (萨克斯管)on a street corner．His name was Clifford，and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance．After he finished，my friend introduced him to me and his daughter．Clifford aked her if she played any instrument．When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号)lessons and played in her junior high school band，he said，"That's fine，little lady．Learn your instrument well and you can play anything．"
Somehow these simple yet wist words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader．If you learn to read well，you can read anything you want - not just newspapers and magazines? but more difficult material like philosophy，film criticism，military history-whatever interests you as your confidence grows．You would not be limited in any way．If you have the vocabulary-or at least a good dictionary near at hand - you can pick up a book，concentrate on it，and make sense of the author's words．
In the United States，reading instruction often ends at elementary school，so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school．They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills．The result，too often，is frustration and loss of confidence．And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school．Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks：to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension．to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence，and to teach you to become an active reader．

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage．
If you asked people today why they used the telephone to communicate with their friends or why they turned to the television for entertainment，they would look at you as if you were crazy．we don't think about a telephone or a television or a car as being rare．These things have become such an essential part or life that they are no longer noticed，let alone remarked upon．In the same way，within a decade no one will notice the Worldwide Web(互联网)．It will just be there，an essential part of life．It will be are reflex to turn to the Web for shopping，education，entertainment and communication，just as it is natural today to pick up the telephone to talk to someone．
There is an enormous interest in the Web．Yet it is still in its infancy(婴儿期)．The technology and the speed of response are leaping forward．This will move more and more people to the Web as part of their everyady lives．Eventually，everyone's business card will have an electronic mail address．Every lawyer，every doctor and every business-from large to small-will be connected．
To predict that it will take over ten years for these changes to happen is probably pessimistic(悲观的)．We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten．The web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008．Probably before．
31．What is implied in Paragraph 1 ？
A．Only mad people would ask questions about telephones，TV sets and cars

VII、E-C Translation(15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
Today，growing numbers of people are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater attraction to them．Motives or reasons for changing careers vary widely，but many people move because they feel bored．For some，a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing，and they decide to do those things they enjoy and believe to be important．Certainly，time spent in one occupation is likely to marrow the range of later occupational choices；very few people start a completely new career in mid-life．Most people move to a related field that involves a minimum of training．
