Passage Two
One day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to New York and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down."
"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
"I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?'
"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."
"So when it goes down, you go down with it."
"That's good, sir. '
"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer."
After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?"
"I wouldn't know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT'knows. 'It'can't tell me.
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
36. The best title for the article is______.
A. When the Computer Is Down
B. How to buy a ticket
C. The Computer of the Airport
D. Asking the Computer

第2题：
（ 10 ）执行下列程序，显示的结果是 【 10 】 。
one= "WORK"
two = ""
a = LEN ( one )
i = a
DO WHILE i>=1
two = two + SUBSTR ( one ,i , 1 ）
i=i - 1
ENDDO
? two
第3题：
此题为判断题(对，错)。
第4题：
执行下列程序，显示的结果是【 】。
ne="WORK"
two=""
a=LEN(one)
i=a
DO WHILE i＞=l
two=two+SUBSTR(one,i, 1)
i=i-1
ENDDO
?two
KROW 解析：DO WHILE—ENDDO语句格式：
DO WHILE条件＞
语句序列1＞
[LOOP]
语句序列2＞
[EXIT]
语句序列3＞
ENDDO
执行该语句时，先判断DO WHILE处的循环条件是否成立，如果条件为真，则执行DO WHILE与ENDDO之间的命令序列(循环体)。当执行到ENDDO时，返回到DO WHILE，再次判断循环条件是否为真，以确定是否再次执行循环体。若条件为假，则结束该循环语句，执行ENDDO后面的语句。
而常用函数中：LEN(字符表达式)：返回一个字符串的长度，返回值是数值型。
SUBSTR(字符表达式，起点位置[,长度])：在一个字符串中，从指定位置起返回给定长度的子串，返回值是字符型。
第5题：
I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the comer, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

A、forty-five minutes
B、 fifteen minutes
C、 just twenty minutes
D、 over an hour
4、The underlined word "relieved" may best be replaced by "( )".
A、surprised
B、please
C、puzzled
D、sorry

第10题：
下列语句能给数组赋值而不使用for循环的是
A．myArray{[1]="One";[2]="Two";[3]="Three";}
B．String s[5]=new String[]{"Zero", "One", "Two", "There", "Four"};
C．String s[]=new String[]{"Zero", "One", "Two", "There", "Four"};
D．String s[]=new String[]=|"Zero", "One", "Two", "There", "Four"};
解析：A)、D)语法不正确，B)中s[5]的形式只能通过for循环的格式进行赋值，而不能直接赋值。C)中表达式左侧的“[]”说明现在定义一个数组，不需要指明数组长度，而表达式右侧“[]”在后面直接紧跟初始内容时也是不需要指定数组大小的，数组大小直接由初值长度决定。
