单项选择题 Ford 1．Ford's great strength was the manufacturing process--not invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891. Although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market.2．The company's assembly line alone threw America's Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford's friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford's Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响) along in 1914, the world's first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.3．The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5-a-day minimum wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average wage in the auto industry then was $2.34 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn't involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Joumal called the plan 'an economic crime', and critics everywhere laughed at Ford.4．But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford's dream to make the automobile accessible (可及的) to all. The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn't matter--except for making it possible for more people to buy cars. 第 23 题 Paragraph 1____________

单项选择题 Should the U.S. halt human space flight? The Columbia accident has revived the debate on whether the rewards of human space exploration are worth the risks.No. I was a teacher when men first landed on the moon in 1969, and I remember how it moved my students and this country.___________(46) And we haven't ventured outward since then. That's 30 years too long! America's human space-flight program is adrift, with no clear vision or goals beyond the completion of the International Space Station.I want NASA to establish a phased series of goals over the next 20 years, including human visits to asteroids that cross the Earth's orbit, establishing a research and living facility for humans on the moon, and human expeditions to the surface of Mars and its moons.___________(47)An astronaut is today's Christopher Columbus, who sailed into the unknown and discovered the Americas. The knowledge we gain from having actual people exploring can never be replaced by robots.___________ (48) Robots are useful, but humans can do things that robots can't.The real obstacle we face in overcoming the drift in the nation's human space-flight program is not technological and it's not financial.___________ (49)The lesson from the Columbia accident is not that humans don't belong in space.___________ (50) A．Instead, we should honor the memory of the lost astronauts by pushing our exploration of space future.B．Astronauts are key to this expanded exploration.C．It's the lack of commitment to get started.D．Until then, we should stop risking people's lives by sending them into space.E．It is now more than 30 year since the last American left the surface of the moon and returned to Earth.F．Our ability to send humans into space and have them return gives us amazing information about ourselves and our universe. 第 46 题 请选择（46）处的最佳答案．
