根据以下内容回答题：People landing at London’S Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly overBritain’S capital city．It is attractive，simple and a little strange．The Millennium Dome is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world．It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life，learning and leisure． The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers，one of British’S most famous architects．His work points the way to new developments in buildin9．Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future． Buildings are also a part of history．They express the culture of the times．Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility．While different designers have individual styles，their work also has a common style．That is：to express the values of the information age． What is an“information age”building?The dome is a good example．After the Millennium exhibition ends，it will be used for another purpose．Just as people no longer have“jobs for life”，modem buildings are designed for a number of different use for another Richard Roger’s building，the Pompidous Center（蓬皮杜艺术中心）in paris，uses the idea that information is communication．Instead of being hidden in the walls，heating pipes and elevators are open to public view．The Pompidous Center is a very honest building．It tells you how it works．

It can be inferred from the passage that if a woman went out to work before 1 800，she

根据以下内容回答题：As late as l800．women’s only place was in the home．The idea of women in the businessworld was unthinkable．N0“nice’’woman would dream of entering what was strictly a“man’s wodd”．Even if she could，what would she do?Men were positive that no woman could handle a job outside her home．This was such a widely accepted idea that when the famous Bronte sisters began writing books．in 1 846，they disguised themselves by signing their books with men’s names． Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after l 800．But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men．Oberling College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women． Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous．Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman，as well as a nurse，people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be“ladies”．Miss Night-ingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860． The invention of the typewriter in 1 867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world．Because women had slender，quick fingers，they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well．Businessmen found that they had to hire women for this new kind of work． By l 900，thousands of women were working at real，jobs in schools，hospitals，and officesin both England and America．Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers．The idea that“nice”women could work in the business world had been accepted．

Bronte sisters published their first books under men’s names because__________ ．

Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane’S computers?

Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because．

What is said about the over l00 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?

Which of the following could serve as an appropriate title for the passage?

根据以下内容回答题：The biggest safety threat facing airlines today．may not be a terrorist with a gun，but the man with the portable computer in business class．In the last，15 years，pilots have reported well over l00 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference．The source of this interference remains unconfirmed，but increasingly，experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers，radio and cassette players and mobile telephones． RTCA，an organization which advises the aviation industry，has recommended that all air-lines prevent such devices from being used during“critical”stages of flight，particularly，duffng take-off and landing．Some experts have gone further，calling for a total ban duffng all flights．Currently，rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines．And ahhough some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing．most are reluctant to enforce a total ban，given that many passengers want to work during flights． The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’S computers．Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication．But，because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory，they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not． The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable（易受损的）to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment．Worrying，though，is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music is too loud．

The passage is mainly about__________ ．

Adam smith mentioned the number 4 800 in order to__________ ．

According to the writer，Adam Smith’s mistake was in believing that division of labor__________．

Adam Smith saw that the division of labor __________．

根据以下内容回答题：Adam Smith，writing in the 1770s，was the first person to see the importance of the divi-sion of labor and to explain part of its advantages．He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England． “One man draws out the wire，another strengthens it，a third cuts it，a fourth points it，a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head．To make the head requires two or three distinct operations． To put it on is a separate operation，to polish the pins is another．And the important business of making pins is，in this manner，divided into about eighteen dis．tinct operations which in some factories are all performed by different people，though in others the same man will sometimes perform. two or three of them．”Ten men，Smith said，in this way turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a piece．But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor，they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one． There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of orgnizing work．Fewer people can make more pins．Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labour is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still．But division of labor adds nothing new，it only enables people to produce more of what they already have．
