Passage 1
Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen took a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness showed the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.
And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns, at any rate, the results have been remarkable. The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a big push during the war, when more and more women were hired to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held view that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the wise use of credit(信用卡) could be extremely helpful.
1.The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to _____.
A. unfriendliness of customers toward banks

A. regular visitors B. elderly gentlemen
C. friendly businessmen D. rich customers
3.When did banks begin to grow human?
A. During the war. B. A few years ago.
C. Some time before the war. D. In the last century.
4.What helped to push the “humanization” of banks?
A. More and more “little” people became customers of banks.
B. The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women.
C. Most banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.
D. The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.
5.Average people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because _____.
A. the bank buildings looked forbidding

C. they rarely spent more than they could earn
D. they thought it was not proper to be in debt转贴于：自学考试_博学在线
Passage 3
Between 1977 and 1981,three groups of American women, numbering 27 in all,between the ages of 35 and 65,were given month-long tests to determine how they would respond to conditions resembling those aboard the space shuttle(航天飞机).
Though carefully selected from among many applicants, the women were volunteers(志愿者) and pay was barely above the minimum wage. They were not permitted to smoke or drink alcohol during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each other’s comp
