                                Before the widespread use of computers, managers could not make full use of large amounts of valuable information about a company’s activities. The information either reached managers too late or was too expensive to be used. Today, managers are facing a wide range of data processing and information instruments. In place of a few financial controls, managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company. On any kinds at performance measures, the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results, find out problems, and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.

The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies. Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales and other activities. In large companies, electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.

Now, there are about 24 million microcomputers in use in the United States, one for every 10 citizens. It is estimated that by 1996, 61 percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic workstation. In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate, they need to understand how computers work. However, in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers. Rather, managers should understand how computerized information systems work; how they are developed; their limitations and costs; and the manner in which information system may be used. Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.

One research found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates.

46. In the second paragraph the author mentions a neighborhood shopkeeper to show that _____.

A. few people could afford a computer

B. computer is now becoming more and more widely used in business

C. only shopkeepers are wealthy enough to buy computers

D. computer is far more intelligent than man as far as business is concerned

47. From the third paragraph we learn that ________.

A. it is essential that managers know how to program computers

B. managers may sometimes receive inaccurate information from computers

C. in most companies, an employee has to share a computer with at least 9 other employees

D. computerized information system is perfect in every way

48. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _________.

A. computer science graduates are quick to learn business subjects because of their professional knowledge about computers

B. with the help of computers, company mangers are now more informed of what’s going on in their companies

C. computer is a great help for business management

D. computerized information enables managers to take timely measures to prevent possible mistakes

49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?

   A. It’s a difficult task for the managers to deal with a wide range of computer-based information daily.

   B. The introduction of computerized information system is a revolution in management

   C. In order to perform good management, managers need to have much knowledge about computer.

   D. A good knowledge of computer leads managers to success

50. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to teach information about computers to business graduates.

B. Computer’s growing popularity nationwide.

C. Application of computer in business management.

D. Computer training program for mangers.

Section One

The city is an accumulation of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher (哲学家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact, has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin (拉丁语的) word “civitas”(meaning “city” ), and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society.

Section Two

The emblem, showing the image of three people ― you, me, him/her holding hands together, symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世” (meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers' wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which displays the various urban cultures of the world.

Section Three

Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture. It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always human. The mascot “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”.

The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke supports each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available. Such an urban life will be nice.

Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ― “World Expo 2010 Shanghai China welcomes you!”

72. Section One mainly tells us about ______.

       A. the part cities play in human civilization     B. the development of the word “city”

       C. why the Expo is held in Shanghai              D. where human civilization originated
