　　For each question(13-18),mark one letter(A,B,CorD)on your Answer Sheet.

　　41、回答41-46题：

　　·Read the article below about e·mail phone and the questions on the opposite page.

　　·For each question(13-18)，mark one letter(A。B。C，or D)on your Answer Sheet.

　　Do you send and receive more phones calls or e—mails?If your answer is e—mail.or you wish it were，then a new breed of telecommunication devices called an e—mail phone or Internet phone may soon find its way into your kitchen or living room.Essentially，an e—mail phone，or e—phone for short.is the merger of telephone and computer.With most of these new screen phones，that means being able to read and reply to electronic mall directly from the phone，without starting up(or even owning)a PC.With some，it also means being able to search through the web to make vacation plans or research homework assignments though at slow speeds and on a rather small screen.And you can still make phone calls，too.

　　No computer experience is required to use an e-phone.Most let you sign up with Internet Service Provider(ISP)，which typically charges about$20 per month.Once you’re past tllis tedious work and enter the account information into the phone，you can check your e—mail from either your computer or phone.

　　To assess your e—mail account from one of these phones，you typically have to select e—mail service from a menu.Phones with touch screens have an icon(图标)for that on the opening screen.For other phones，you press one of the buttons lining the bottom or sides of the display，much as with an ATM machine.The phone then calls your ISP.When the ISP picks up，the phone automatically transfers your account name and password.Once accepted，the ISP will start sending the phone your messages.By touching the item you want to read or hitting a button next to it，the message will be displayed.Once you’ve read it，you can reply to the message，move onto the next one，or，like most phones，delete the message from your account.You can check your e—mail manually，but most e-phones call also be set to check several times a day automatically.In automatic mode，the phone fla.shes to tell you mail is waiting.If you happen to be using the phone when it is scheduled to check for e—mail，the phone will automatically try again when the line is free.

　　One serious drawback to e—mail by phone is that it cannot receive(or send)attached files。whether they contain documents or graphics.Some phones will attempt to display simple text files as part of the message，but other types of files will appear as gibberish(乱码)，or not at all.If you share the e-mail account with a PC and don’t delete the message，however，you can usually retrieve the message and file on your computer.

　　An e-mail phone is an improved device of telecommunication in that

　　A.it can record a message in the form of e—mails.

　　B.it can be used to receive and send e—mails.

　　C.it can be connected with computers.

　　D.it can be used to visit websites

　　42、 Compared with a traditional telephone，an e-mail phone probably

　　A.has a colored screen.

　　B.has a larger size.

　　C.has similar key arrangement.

　　D.does not have a receiver.

　　43、 When an e-mail phone is being used to make phone calls，it

　　A.cannot receive new messages.

　　B.send out a signal of new messages.

　　C.cannot display e·mail messages.

　　D.automatically checks new messages.

　　44、 You can check your e-mail by yourself，but owning an e-phone

　　A.you can know the arrival of an e-mail immediately.

　　B.you can check your e-mails more quickly.

　　C.you can depend on the e-phone to check per day.

　　D.can help you delete unnecessary e-mails.

　　45、 0Re fundamental flaw of e-mail phones is that people cannot use it to

　　A.receive or send e-mails with attached files.

　　B.receive attached files with documents.

　　C.read attached files with graphics.

　　D.read only messages in the form of simple text.

　　46、 It can be inferred from the passage that e-mail phones are designed to

　　A.make transmission of e-mail messages faster.

　　B.make communication through e-mails cheaper.

　　C.make communication through e-mails easier.

　　D.make communication through e-mails more popular.

　　For each question(23-30),mark one letter(A,BorC)for the correct answer.

　　·If a line js correct.write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.

　　·If there is an extra Word in the line.write the extra word in CAPITAL LETTERS 0n your Answer Sheet.

　　·The exercise begins with two examples(0 and 00).

　　0 As one can conclude from the term science。fiction movie.these fams have a background of an advanced

　　00 fictional technologies that one is normally set in the future.

　　34 But most of these movies have in common that they expose their own vision of the future，with new technologies commonly being the most noticeable change in these hypothetical worlds.

　　35 Besides visions about all kinds of scientific areas，the given context of this work concentrates particularly on computer interfaces.

　　36 As a part of which the seminar‘‘Intelligent Spaces”approaches of mainstream science，fiction motion pictures are extracted and analysed regarding their references in real-life human computer interaction(HCI)designs.

　　37 Similarities to ongoing researches will be outlined——especially to those，which are presented by other talks of this seminar that have already taken place in.

　　38 To be able to draw comparisons to reality，it is often necessary to view neither the ideas and visions of a movie on a relatively abstract level.

　　39 At first some key factors that determine or influence the design of HCI in movies will be discussed.

　　40 Starting from this viewpoint numerous examples for from selected movies will be observed.

　　41 Due in to the limitation of the material that is at hand，we cannot claim to provide a complete overview Of all movies.

　　42 but the available selection that should suffice and allow a representative inspection of the movie scene.

　　43 We will start with a review of movies that do not show any concepts at all more or merely adapt common everyday techniques of that time.

　　44 The second and main part introduces visionary interaction design，divided it into different areas of interaction technologies，
