第二节：专题语法练习 (构词法1) (共15 小题，每小题1 分，满分15 分).
构词法是英语学习的一个重点,也是近年来常考的项目。特别是在词语辨析的综合运用中,对词汇掌握的要求越来越高。检测构词法,在阅读理解中,已不把这种词汇看作生词,而是把这类词的理解看作学生通过对构词法知识的学习,应该具备的一种能力。如有的生词,只要其词根是学生们该掌握的或熟悉的,只是加上了前缀或后缀,再者或是合成词等,命题人就认为不必再注出汉语注释。所以我们在学习英语词汇的时候一定要灵活学习和掌握,随时准备应付所出现的情况。

A
It costs thousands of dollars to buy or build a new house. A family who wants to own a house usually borrows most of the money needed. The money is paid back in monthly payments. The family must pay the rest of buying price in cash (现金). This is called the down payment.
In most cities, there are many families who need and want new houses. Some of these families can afford to make monthly payments on a house. But they cannot save up enough money to make a down payment. How then can these families become houseowners?
In the city of Indianapolis, an organization under black leadership runs a program of self-help housing called Flanner House Homes. This program has helped hundreds of families with low income become houseowners.
Flanner House Homes supplies the land, materials, tools, and training for a large group of families to build their own houses. These families do not have money for a down payment on a house. Instead, the men used their own labor as a down payment. They work twenty hours a week to help build their houses. Although they have never built houses before, the men are taught certain skills as they work. They work together as teams.
When the houses are finished, the new houseowners have some more than built themselves new houses. With handsome brick and frame (框架) houses taking the place of old, run-down ones, they have turned the streets with small, dirty, crowded houses into pleasant new neighborhoods.
51. Why Flanner House Homes was founded is because .
A. the black people needed new houseowners
B. it helps low－income families become houseowners
C. many low －income people have difficuty in getting the land, materials and tools
D. it was easier for an organization to get the supplies
52. From the text we can conclude that .
A. many people do not want to own their houses
B. in most cities everyone owns his own house
C. Flanner House Homes helps to build houses
D. a good organization takes great effect (影响) on solving problem
53. Which statement does this text lead you to believe?
A. A down payment is not always money.
B. It does not cost much to own a new house.
C. It is easy to pay for a house.
D. Flanner House Homes supplies people with the money to buy houses.
B
As we approach the 21st century, it is clearer than ever that science and technology are changing the way we live and work. The breakthroughs in bioengineering science are helping to reveal the mysteries of life, holding out new hope for lifesaving cures to some of our most dreaded diseases.
In 1997, the great news shocked the whole world that the British scientists created a lamb, named Dolly from a single cell. Miraculously, the cell had been taken from the udder of an adult sheep, which marks the first time an adult animal had been successfully cloned.
But it soon caused worldwide concern over its ethical, social, and scientific implications. Cloning is especially controversial because it raises the prospect of "making" humans genetically identical to an existing man or woman. Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested and unsafe and morally unacceptable.
How to look upon this new technique? When it comes to a discovery like cloning, we must move with caution, care and deep concern about the impact of our actions. First, cloning should be greatly esteemed and great thanks should be given to its inventors. Meanwhile, great efforts should be made to place this technique under strict control. Especially we should adopt a document against human cloning since past experience tells us a new invention may cause troubles if it is misused.
54.What are changing the way we live and work?
A.Cloning. B.Life saving.
C.Science and technology. D.The mysteries of life.
55.Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is
________.
A.untested B.unsafe
C.morally unacceptable D.above of all
56.How should we look upon cloning?
A.Cloning is terrible.
B.Cloning must be moved with caution, care.
C.Cloning will cause troubles.
D.Cloning is a disease.
57.According to the passage, what should be given to cloning's inventors?
A.Strict control. B.Great thanks.
C.Care. D.Caution.

The biggest change in the world today is technology. The reason the world is getting smaller is because people can talk to each other more quickly than before with more information.
The computer now has the information of a library of books on all subjects. By sitting at a computer, different software programs allow students the chance to learn about all subjects simply by asking the computer to find the information. The computer becomes the library.Students and parents are now learning what an important tool the computer has become for improving education.
Letters might take a few days even a few weeks to be delivered. Technology has developed a fax machine where a letter can travel anywhere in the world, immediately. This has changed the way people do business. Many computers can receive E-mail. This is like the fax letter. Often, businesses have a fax machine but homes do not. If a computer is in a home, it can receive E-mail messages from anyone in the world. It is like the telephone but it costs much less to receive messages.
The next generation (代) will have computers in most homes and be able to send faxes and E-mail all over the world. In the future, the computer will be as common as the telephone or TV. Technology is changing the way people communicate with each other.
58. The world is getting smaller just because .
A. the computer has taken the place of a library
B. people can communicate with each other much more quickly
C. people have a shorter talk to each other
D. people in different places can get together in a short time

Dear Carrie,
Your brother sounds like a very selfish(自私的) person. But I want to know what causes him to act this way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to try to find the cause.
I think your brother is probably hurting in some way. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is not a full part of the family. He could be jealous (嫉妒) of your mother's love for the rest of you over him.
It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I suggest you try to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for him to grow up in a family where his sisters had their real mother but he didn't. Try to let him know that you care about him. Over time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat you all with the same kindness that you give him.
63. From the passage we may know that .
A. there are two mothers in the family
B. the mother is the brother's stepmother (继母)
C. the family is not a full family
D. the brother has three sisters in the family
64. The writer suggests Carrie that .
A. she treat her brother with more love and care
B. she find her mother with more fights
C. she find the cause for her brother's habit
D. she fight against her brother with anger
65. The writer thinks Carrie's brother .
A. should know Carrie treats him with kindness
B. should be treated more kindly
C. is very lucky to live in such a family
D. is a bad young man
66. In Carrie's letter she must have said that .
A. she often punished her brother
B. she often gave her brother love
C. she often felt sad and angry in the family
D. her mother wasn't a good mother
E Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the
governments must take care to control gene technology. (http://www.rothamsted.bbsrc.ac.uk)
67. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to?
A.gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B.The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C.The two diseases of cancer and heart disease
D.Hereditary diseases and cancer
68.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B.Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C.Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D.Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
69.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?
A.Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B.Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C.Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D.Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
70.What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A.Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B.Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C.Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity

ZHUHAI-China will soon put a person into space and become the third nation in the world to have manned spaceflight,a top Chinese aerospace(航空航天)official said on November 5.
A manned launch was not far off,Vice President Hu Hongfu of China Aerospace Science Technology Corp(CASTC)told a news conference at the third Zhuhai Air Show. "It will not be long before Chinese astronauts can ride locally-make spaceships into space,"Hu said.The official gave no timerable but said it would happen "at the beginning of the 21st century."
The former Soviet Union and the United States have been putting people into orbit since the early 1960s,but other nations have not considered the challenge worth following.
China has already built and sent up its own satellites for communications(通讯) and weather forecasting.The new communication satellites would help to encourage the country's broadcasting industry,Hu said.
But the company,which includes over 130 aerospace agencies,said the lifting ability and success rate of China's space-launches were almost equal in quality to those of other countries.
China would gradually close the distance between its country's space industry and that of other nations.He added that they were willing to send up commercial satellites for Taiwan.
On China's plan to send up manned spaceflights,Hu said China had made important development after the successful launch(发射)in November last year of the country's first experimental spaceship,Shenzhou. "The whole project is in the research stage and a lot of work needs to be done," Hu said. "We need to have more tests of the unmanned spaceship."
China last year announced a four-step manned spaceflight plan,with the aim of setting up a space-station served by a spaceship traveling between two places.
51.The underlined word "they" here probably refers to____________.
A.the Soviet Union and the USA B.over 130 aerospace agencies
C.Russia and China D.Russia and the USA
52.The main idea of the 7th paragraph is______________.
A.we haven't tested the manned spaceship
B.before we send a manned spaceship,we should carry out many tests
C.though we tried once,we need to do more tests of the unmanned spaceship
D.sending up a manned spaceship can show a country's scientific level
53.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "close"?
A.shut B.drop C.shorten D.widen
54.The writer wrote the passage to____________.
A.tell us the present situation of China's aerospace technology

C.find out the reason why China falls behind
D.tell us that China will send up manned spaceship soon

In the year 2000, the world is going to have a population of about 8 billion (十亿). Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food supply.
Who is going to feed all those people? Where is the food going to come from? Are we going to have enough food? Are we going to produce more artificial(人选的) food?
One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat. Why? Because it takes 4 kilos(公斤) of grain protein(蛋白质) to produce half a kilo of meat protein. Clearly, there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 8 billion people. Therefore, it will also necesssary to change eating habits because meat is the main part of many people's food today.
A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybean (大豆).The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content. Scientists can now make these look and taste like real meat. They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk, for example, which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking in very much the same ways as cow's milk. In fact, one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for years! She gave them soybean beef, soybean chicken, soybean milk, and sometimes just soybeans. Possibly, we are all going to eat soybeans in the future and finally give up meat completely from our tables.

For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth's natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.
Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People began to notice the problem in the early 1970s. When builders began making houses and offices, they did not want to waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also used man－made building materials which are now known to let out harmful gases.
As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants.
Scientists believe that a plant's leaves absorb the pollutants (污染物). In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.
59. Indoor air pollution may be more dangerous than the air outside mainly because .
A. the flow of air indoor is limited B. the building are too high
C. people don't want to waste energy D. the building materials are harmful
60. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in .
A. all kinds of offices B. all kinds of houses
C. every modern house D. every old house
61. In the last paragraph the word“ absorb” may mean .
A. give out B. bring up C. take in D. turn into
62. Scientists believe that plants can .
A. absorb pollutions and let out oxygen B. make your houses more prettier
C. absorb all the pollutants D. change pollutants into oxygen
63. According to the last paragraph, we should to clean the air.
A. plant all kinds of plant B. have different kinds of plants
C. have the same kind of plant D. plant more trees.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriage and have more respectable jobs.Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants.But in the executive(主管的)circle,beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones;their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman who is considered to be more feminine(女子气的)has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the only clue(线索) is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently",says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates(候选人).She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men,but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
64.The word "liability" most probably means________.
A.disadvantage B.advantage C.misfortune D.trouble
65.In traditionally female jobs,attractiveness________.
A.makes women look more honest and capable
B.strengthens the feminine qualities required
C.is of great importance to women
D.often enables women to succeed quickly
66.Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics,attractiveness_______.
A.turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B.is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C.affects men and women alike
D.has as little effect on men as on women
67.The author writes this passage to________.
A.give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
B.discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
C.demand equal rights for women
D.stats the importance of appearance

1970 was World Conservation (自然保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve”nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1, 300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask“What must we do now?”The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called“No one's going to change our world”. It was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.
68.“No one's going to change our world”was .
A.an important book published in 1970
B.an idea that nobody would accept
C.a record calling on people to conserve nature
D.a rule worked out by the United Nations
69.What is the most important thing for us to do to save our world?
A.We should plant more trees and flowers.
B.We should clean the banks of our rivers.
C.We should know what will happen in the future.
D.We should know what we must do and begin to do it now.
70.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.1970 was World Conservation Year.
B.The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger.
C.Conservation is necessary.
D.It is the young people who are helping to save our world.

More ice melted from the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet this year than ever before recorded, report scientists from the University of Colorado. The same team found that the extent of Arctic sea ice reached the lowest level in the satellite record in 2002, offering further proof that climate change is already changing the Arctic.
Researchers from the University of Colorado(UC)say that the speeding up melting appears to be linked to changes in Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation patterns. The study also found temperatures during the summer of 2002 were warmer than usual over much of the Arctic Ocean.
"It is likely that sea ice extent will continue to decline over the 21st century as the climate warms," Researchers added. "With these trends, we may see a 20 percent reduction in the yearly average sea ice by 2050, and by then there might be no ice at all during the summer months."
The report was released on Saturday at the yearly fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, just one week after an announcement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) that sea ice is melting about nine percent faster than earlier research had showed, and could disappear entirely by the end of this century.
"This trend of disappearing arctic sea ice is one example of the environmental damage that can be linked to carbon dioxide emissions," said Morgan, "When we have the means to reduce CO2 emissions and prevent further damage, we should do our best. National leaders must act now to improve energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, before it's too late."
CU scientists judge that a change in the Greenland climate toward warmer conditions would lead to an increase in the rate of sea level rise, which will bring disasters to the human beings.
51. It can be inferred that ________.
A. scientists have found that Arctic sea ice is lower than before
B. scientists have studied the pictures of the Arctic sent by satellites
C. scientists began to do research on Arctic sea ice in year 2002
D. warm temperature has hardly any effect on the extent of Arctic sea ice now but soon will
52. Scientists fear that __________.
A. there will be no ice left at all in the Arctic Ocean at the end of the 21st century
B. disasters will happen if Arctic sea ice continues to melt faster than before
C. the temperature in Greenland will be too warm for animals and human beings to live on
D. people still think Arctic sea ice is melting slowly
53. It is thought that _________.
A. carbon dioxide emissions are one of the causes of the environmental damage
B. carbon dioxide emissions are an example of the environmental damage
C. most environmental problems are caused by carbon dioxide emissions
D. people can still have the change to solve the above environmental problem

Gary Finkle was seriously hurt in a swimming-pool accident seven years ago. A heavy-set, bearded man of 27, he is one of thousands of Americans who have lost actually all feeling and movment from their shoulders down. He lives with his wife, Micky, and a female monkey named Jo outside the village of Andes, New York.
Gary takes part in an unusual organization called Helping Hands:Simian Aides(猴子助手)for the disabled.The organization supplies the disabled with trained monkeys that reduce the disabled person's dependence on family, friends and hired servants.
Using his mouth, Gary controls a small laser(激光)pointer fixed on his wheel-chair. With it, he directs Jo to change books or the tape-recorder. She brings him drinks from a refrigerator(冰箱)and clears away empty containers.
When asked, Jo will fetch the remote control(遥控器)for the TV and place it on Gery's working table where he can operate it with his mouthstick. This mouthstick can be used for practically everything:turning the pages of a book, dialing the telephone, changing channels on TV, working at a typewriter or computer. If Gary's mouthstick drops to the floor, Jo will pick it up and gently put it again into his mouth.
"I can't imagine living without her ,"Gary says. He will always need human assistance for such things as getting in and out of bed, bathing or changing his clothes. But having Jo reduces his dependence on Micky, making it possible for her to do things in town without worrying about her husband's safety.
54.Gary who was disabled can't .
A.stand up to shake hands B.greet guests
C.admire the things outside D.turn his head
55.Before Jo came to the family, Gary .
A.depended completely on his servant
B.depended mainly on an assisting machine

D.depended completely on his wife
56.The underlinded word"her"in the last paragraph refers to .
A.Gary B.Micky C.Jo D.Finkle
57.This text is mainly about .
A.why Gary and Jo are good friends
B.Gary's accident as a swimmer
C.Gary's life and experience
D.trained monkeys that can help the disabled

Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can destroy ships at sea and houses near the shore (海岸). Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.
The size of wave depends on how strong the winds is, how long it blows, and how large the body of water is. In a small bay (海湾) big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up big and strong waves.
A rule says that the height (高度) of a wave (in metres) will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind's speed (in kilometres). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometeres an hour, most waves will be about twelve metres. Of course, some waves may work together to form very big waves that are much higher. In 1933 the United States Navy (海军) reported the largest measured wave in history. It rose in the Pacific Ocean to a height of thirty-four metres.
58. Most waves are caused by .
A. the earth's size B. the sun heating the earth
C. the surface of the water D. the winds blowing across the sea
59. When the winds blow across the sea .
A. little waves are made bigger and bigger
B. the air rises above the surface of the water
C. the heat of the sun is reduced
D. the body of water becomes larger
60. The size of a wave depends on all of the following EXCEPT .
A. how large the body of water is
B. how hot the body of water is
C. how long the wind blows
D. how strong the wind is
61. If the wind is blowing at 30 kilometres an hour, the height of a wave is about .
A. twelve metres B. one-tenth metres C. 120 kilometres D. three metres
D
Scientists have uncovered the exact difference between man and mouse.
Teams of scientists from around the world will publish today the draft genome of the mouse, which enables them for the first time to compare another mammal's entire DNA directly with that of humans.
The similarities are far greater than the differences—man and mouse share a common ancestor that lived more than 70 million years ago - which has allowed scientists to find treatments for a good many human diseases.
British members of the project say the draft mouse genome, published in the journal Nature, has provided the "phrasebook" for scientists to translate the language of the human genome.
"The entire biomedical research community can for the first time fully use this resource to deal with human disease. They will now have powerful tools that will serve them for many years to come," said Dr Jane Rogers, head of sequencing at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which did 20 percent of the work.
Comparisons show almost every gene in the mouse has a corresponding gene in humans - a 99 per cent similarity that should help to find how each human gene works. Already the work has been able to show that man and mouse each have about 30,000 genes yet only 300 or so are uniqueto either species, increasing the value of the lab mouse as a "model" for human genetics.
This is an extraordinary milestone. For the first time we have an opportunity to see ourselves in an evolutionary mirror. The mouse genome stands for a very important chapter in the lap notebook of evolution. By taking away genes to create sick mice, scientists have been able to reproduce a number of human disorders. Knowing the entire genomes of humans and mice will enable them to employ the technique more widely, leading to a rapid development in the understanding of illness. 62. Scientists have found that _______.
A. men and mice are actually the same kind of animal
B. mice are actually the ancestors of human beings
C. the genome of the mouse is the same as that of humans
D. humans and mice most probably have developed from the same ancestor
63. The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that ________.
A. man has finally found his true ancestor
B. it will be easier for people to find the causes of human diseases and cure them
C. it has enabled the scientists to compare human DNA with that of another mammal
D. it makes it possible for man to understand the complicated language of his genome
64. The word "unique" in the sixth paragraph probably mean ________.
A. having no like or equal B. the same
C. corresponding D. excellent
65. It can be inferred that ________.
A. every gene of a mouse works in the same way as that of a human being
B. it has become easier for humans to find their real ancestor
C. more mice will be used in scientific experiments
D. scientists will use less mice in their experiments to protect them
66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Mouse 'Book of Life' May Provide Cures for Human Diseases
B. Mice and Men Are the Same
C. Man and Mouse Share a Common Ancestor
D. The Difference Between Man and Mouse

A serious threat to farmers in many parts of the world is erosion. Erosion occurs if a large area of land is cleared of trees and is then badly treated by the farmers. The rain and winds may gradually wash away, or blow away, much of the topsoil. When this happens, crops of wheat or corn become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well. If erosion continues, it will turn good land into a desert.
In the past, when erosion appeared, farmers sometimes moved to a new place to farm. Sometimes they could not move, but continued to try to grow food in the unhealthy soil. This caused them to sink into poverty . Soon some people realized that there was little rich, fertile soil in the world, government began to try to stop erosion.
One of the first experiments to stop erosion began in the United States in 1933. The experiment was carried out in the area of the Tennessee River. Floods and bad farming in this area had ruined (毁坏) land that had once been rich. As a result, most of the people living around the Tennessee River were very poor.
The government built big dams across the river and stored the water for use during the dry season when there was no rain. The government workers also helped farmers to fertilize their soil and to learn new farming methods which could stop erosion.
At the beginning, the farmers were not interested. But soon, good healthy crops began to appear on the land where new methods were used. Ten years after the extremely prosperous, the great success of this experiment had led similar projects in the other parts of the world.
67.The word“erosion”in the first paragraph means .
A.the clearing of trees B.excessive (极度) use of the land
C.the destruction of crops D.gradual loss of topsoil
68.The passage tells us that erosion is a problem which .
A.first began in the United States in 1933
B.occurs mainly in river areas
C.affects many parts of the world
D.is becoming more and more serious
69.In the second paragraph,“to sink into poverty”means .
A.to lose topsoil in erosion
B.to become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well
C.to become very poor
D.to turn into a desert
70.The main purpose of this passage is to tell people .
A.how erosion occurs
B.the importance of using new farming methods
C.something can be done to prevent erosion
D.the serious outcomes (后果) of erosion

The African ancestors(祖先) of today's black Americans were brought to the US as slaves in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. They worked on farms, especially the large farms in the southern states. Slowly they became a necessary part of the economic(经济) system (系统) of the South.
Slaves did not have the right of human beings. According to the law, they were “things”which belonged to the person who bought them. They had to obey the orders of their owners without question. They were not allowed to learn to read; their owners feared the educated slaves would begin to think about the injustice of the system and would learn to struggle for their freedom.Slaves had to work long hours in very unhealthy conditions. Their owners had complete power over them. They could be bought and sold like animals. At the slave markets, black children were separated from their parents and never saw them again. Slave owners had the right to punish the slave who broke the rule or was against the system. Slaves were often beaten by their owners or killed. After the Civil War, one free slave reported that his owner killed an older slave who was teaching a slave badly should be punished. In practice, however, the law meant nothing.
Opposition to slavery began very early in the history of the US－in 1671－but little progress was made until the beginning of the nineteenth century. By 1804 slavery was illegal(非法的) in the northern states. But it continued, it even grew, in the southern states, which depended on cotton for their economic health(繁荣). Slavery ended in the South only after the Civil War. For blacks, however, the end of slavery was only a beginning, the late beginning of a long and difficult struggle for true justice.
51.According to the writer, why couldn't slaves learn to read?
A. Because reading was not something which they needed for their work.
B. Because their owners were afraid that books would give them advanced ideas.
C. Because they did not have enough time to read.
D. Because they were so poor that they could not go to school.
52. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Many people from other countries became US citizens in the 1700s.
B. The US government paid much attention to the freedom.
C. There were some laws that successfully protected the rights of slaves.
D. Slavery in the United States began in the seventeenth century.
53. What happened to slaves who broke the rules of the system?
A. They were given hard jobs. B. They were punished.
C. They were sent back to Africa. D. They were sold to other owners.
54. According to the writer, .
A. black Americans had true freedom after the Civil War
B. black people continued to fight for true justice after the Civil War
C. nobody in the US was against slavery in the seventeenth century
D. slavery continued, and even grew, in the United States after 1804

The baobab tree grows in west Africa and Australia. It is a very strange-looking tree. Its big trunk (树干) sometimes measures as much as ten metres in diameter (直径). It is thicker at the bottom than at the top. The branches nearest to the ground are very long; those near the top are very short. Strange-looking it may be, it is very useful. Its leaves are good to eat. Its white flowers turn into cool fruit which tastes rather like cucumbers (黄瓜). When a baobab tree gets old, its trunk becomes hollow (空心). An old tree has such a huge, hollow trunk that it can hold many people. When it rains, water collects in the hollow. The tree has such a lot of leaves and branches that the water remains cool and fresh. It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without it.

No one knows why we sleep, but it's certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days－they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours ; some may have hallucinations (幻觉).
There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking , grown－ups sleep about 7 and half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you're probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get－their needs may be different. Exercise doesn't seem to increase the need sleep－office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.
Children sleep more than grown－ups－perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown－up levels by early teen－age. Sleep patterns also tend to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
63. According to the passage, some people are unable to think clearly because .
A. they have hallucinations
B. they feel sleepy during the working hours
C. they don't have enough sleep
D. they are certain to be kept from going to bed
64. Which of the following is true? .
A. All grown－ups must have at least eight－hour sleep
B. Most of grown－ups sleep for seven or eight hours
C. Quite a few people need only 5 hours or less for them to sleep
D. No grown－ups sleep more than ten hours
65. Whether you have got enough sleep is judged by .
A. how many hours you have slept
B. how many hours you need to sleep
C. whether you do exercise and physical work
D. whether you feel fresh and energetic
66. According to the passage, a boy of 14 years old sleeps .

Gina was surprised to find that it was not raining in London. She stepped down from the train that had brought her from Dover to Victoria Station and put her heavy suitcase on the platform. People were hurrying everywhere：through the entrances and exits, up and down the steps, along the other platforms and over to the ticket counters where there were already queues forming. The porters seemed to be busy helping other passengers. In Milan everyone told her that it was always raining in England. Today, however, they were wrong. It was warm and dusty just like at home.

“Do you have a letter with the school's address on it?”
“Oh, yes. Now I remember. ” Gina opened her handbag and found a postcard with a British stamp on it.
“Ah,” said the young woman. “It's Oxford Circus that you want. It's the name of an area in the middle of London. You must go down these steps and take the Tube. Follow the colours. That's the easiest way.”She showed Gine on the coloured map of the underground railway the route from Victoria to Oxford Circus. “Good luck,” she said. “And by the way, I come from Italy, too.”

第三部分：阅读理解 （共20 小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分)
A
When we walk through the city, we all experience a kind of information overload but we pay attention only to those that are important to us. We don't stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoiding overloading other people as well.
We make use of stereotypes（刻板的模式）as convenient ways to make quick judgments about situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate（正确的），and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly.
The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication. We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe they will not offer something we enjoy.
In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes, and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets others tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with.
In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions（区分),clothes, hairstyles, people's pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues to our social group. Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association.
51..People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because .
A．they do not wish to talk to other people
B．everyone else is expressionless
C．the environment is already familiar to them
D．there is too much information to take in
52.According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they .
A．are likely to lead us into dangerous situations
B．may make us miss some pleasant experience
C．can rarely be relied on
D．make us mentally lazy
53.From the passage we may conclude that .
A．stereotypes can help to understand people fully
B．people are becoming more interested in fashion
C．dressing can send messages about individuals
D．stereotypes can do more harm than good to people
54.It would appear that in England, a person's class .
A．might be less important in making friends in a city
B．is mainly determined by his pronunciation
C．plays less of a role than it did in the past
D．is something that can be changed easily.
B
A suicide bomber (人体炸弹)blew up a bus parked outside a Karachi hotel yesterday in a thun-derous explosion that killed 11 French engineers, their Pakistani driver and a passer-by. Twenty-three people were wounded.
Pakistan's government denounced (公开指责) the blast (爆炸) as an act of terrorism aimed at foreigners, and suspicion （嫌疑）fell on militant Islamic groups (穆斯林军队组织) angered by Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf's support for the US-led coalition's war in neighboring Afghanistan.
There was no evidence linking the attack directly to the al-Qaida terrorist network of Osama bin Laden, but many of the militant Islamic groups in Pakistan are sympathetic (同情) to al-Qaida and some have links to the organization, according to The Associated Press.
Musharraf promised to fight back.
"We feel this act of international terrorism has to be met with full force. My government has the complete resolve of meeting this threat," he said.
"I would appeal to the international community to understand our domestic environment resulting from our cooperation against international terrorism," Musharraf said without elaborating.
French President Jacques Chirac condemned (谴责) the attack and sent his newly appointed defense minister to Pakistan.
The 11 French killed in the bombing were engineers working at the Karachi seaport for a state-owned French marine construction company, the French Foreign Ministry said in Paris. They were part of a team building a submarine Pakistan bought from France.
The bus was parked outside the Sheraton Hotel when the bomb went off-apparently in a second vehicle driven by the bomber, tearing a large crater (弹坑) in the road and destroying nearby vehicles.
"We have recovered a charred (烧焦的) body from a car," said Sindh provincial police chief Sayed Kamal Shah, referring to the suicide bomber and his vehicle. "The sound was so loud I think you could have heard it from six miles away," said Munir Sheikh, a police officer who was actually present at the event and saw the explosion. The death toll stood at 14, including the bomber.

In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen cause the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that are named hurricanes, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as harmless circling disturbances (大气搅动) hundreds- even thousands--of miles out at sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, wet air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In this course, the wetness in this warm air produces rains, and with it the heat is changed into energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl(旋转) in a counter-clockwise(逆时针) motion.
The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The hidden energy of the heat given off by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the US for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction(破坏) in a hurricane. A typical(典型) hurricane bring 6-to-12 inch downpour resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea - the mountains of water moving toward the low- pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
60.What is the worst thing about a hurricane?
A．The harmful effects of water. B．The heat it gives off.
C．It lasts about nine days on average. D．It's very strong wind.
61.The counter- clockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .
A．the low－pressure area in the center of the storm
B．the increasing heat
C．the trade winds
D．the force of waves of water
62.The underlined word "downpour" probably means .
A．dangerous waves B．the energy produced by the hurricane
C．heavy rainfall D．the progress of water to the hurricane center
63.What's the main idea of the text?
A．The great heat is caused by counter－clockwise swirling.
B．The process of changing storms into hurricanes.
C．Circling disturbances can lead to destructive hurricanes.
D．The cause of a hurricane and its destruction.

Build the highway and watch the town grow .At first a few shops appear and maybe a restaurant. Then a hotel opens. Eventually new houses are built. A village is born.
This is also how the virtual world has developed. Think of the Internet as the road carrying information between two computers. Think of the World Wide Wed as the village. At first it is just a place on the virtual road where travelers meet .More travelers come bringing new kinds of information .New villager are started.
Every village has a founder. Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software (软件)programme that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web .How did he get the idea? He tells us on his own web site."One of the things computers were not able to do was store contacts(互通信息) from different sources .The dream behind the Web is of a common space in which we communicate by sharing information ."
Tim Berners-Lee could have followed the Microsoft route by forming a company to sell the programmes he invented .Or he could have joined an existing company .But in his view the Web is a language, not a product. Charging a fee for using his programmes would have slowed the growth of the Web. And other companies would make similar products to compete. Instead of one World Wide Web there would be several smaller Webs .Each would use incompatible (不相容的)software. The Web is valuable because it uses a common computer language to reach people and share information. Competing webs would lose this value. Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you spoke a word of English.
In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the newly formed World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone, no matter what their equipment or software, can work equally on the Web .
"The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love .It helps us understand the humanity of people ,"he says.
64.What does the underlined part "the virtual world "refer to ？
A．The computer system.
B．Scientific research.
C．All the information on the Web and the Internet.
D．People working on the Web and the Internet.
65.What can be inferred from the sentence "Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you
spoke a word of English" ?
A．The information on the Web should be shared by all.
B．The Web is where all kinds of information are stored.
C．People can get al kinds of information on the Web.
D．People can communicate on the Web .
66.Which is the main idea of the passage?
A．How Tim Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web
B．The advantages of working on the World Wide Web
C．Why Tim Berners-Lee wanted to found the World Wide Web
D．How Tim Berners-Lee got the idea of founding the World Wide Web

I don't know anyone who doesn't want a real life filled with love. In order for this to happen, the effort must start within us. Rather than waiting for other people to provide the love we desire, we must be a vision and source of love. We must tap into our own loving-kindness in order to set an example for others to follow.
It has been said that" the shortest distance between two points is an intention. "This is certainly true with regard to a life filled with love. The starting point or foundation of a life filled with love is the desire and commitment to be a source of love. Our attitude, choices, acts of kindness, and willingness to be the first reach-out will take us toward this goal.
The next time you find yourself frustrated(受挫)at the lack of love in your own life or at the lack of love in the world, try an experiment. Forget about the world and other people for a few minutes. Instead, look into your own heart. Can you become a source of greater love? Can you think loving thoughts for yourself and others? Can you extend these loving thoughts outward the rest of the world-even to people whom you feel don't deserve it?
By opening your heart to the possibility of greater love, and by making yourself a source of love( rather than getting love) as a top priority (重点), you will be taking an important step in getting the love you desire. You'11 also discover something truly remarkable. The more love you give, the more you will receive. As you put more emphasis on being a loving person, which is something you can control-and less emphasis on receiving love, which is something you can't control-you'll find that you have plenty of love in your life. Soon you' 11 discover one of the greatest secrets in the world: Love is its own reward.

A
We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all aspects of their adult life work, leisure, personal relationships, creative activities, coping with money matters, independence, parenthood.
Nevertheless, it would be unrealistic to provide an education which took no account of the needs of employers.
What type of training does the business world regard as important?
Many young people applying for jobs were, in the employers' opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though additional education at university level improved the students' general ability, a report states, "In basic skills the standards remained stubbornly low."
It is debatable（有争议的） whether standards have declined（减弱） in recent years. What is certain is that employers do not believe the standard is now high enough. Do technological changes make greater demands upon the students' abilities?
We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased. The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship（学徒） 20 years ago now desire to an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. No wonder there are problems in reaching the "necessary standards" of the business world.
Many employers believed that it was important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school. They should work for a while at some other kind of job "to see how the world of business and commerce differs from their own". The teaching profession and society in general needed a greater understanding of manpower needs and therefore of "the desired" direction of the education system.
51.The article mainly talks about .
A. no education among young people
B. meeting the educational requirements of employment
C. the problem of unemployment
D. the weaker standards of education
52.In the writer's opinion, education should .
A. pay more attention to students' academic（学术的） ability
B. only meet the needs of employment
C. be suitable to all aspects of being an adult, including employment
D. focus on grammar
53."The same girls and boys" in Para. 6 refer to .
A. those who are likely to be unemployed
B. those who have just left middle school
C. those who are looking for jobs far beyond their abilities
D. those who might have become shop assistants, hairdressers and apprentices in the past
54.It's suggested that teachers should .
A. never change their jobs
B. spend more time on their school work
C. improve their teaching methods
D. get some work experience outside school

Dolly is the first cloned sheep ever born artificially in a laboratory. Ever since Scottish scientists announced her birth, her life has been close to that of a rock superstar. A sweater knitted from her wool is a treasured showpiece in a museum. Newspaper reporters dig out the slightest details of her life; even her sexual life makes major news.
Now, in the fourth year of people's fascination with Dolly, it seems a fair time to ask whether she is really worth all that excitement. And the answer, everyone seems to agree, is yes. Initially, the discussion was mostly based on shock. No one has really seen a cloned human being except in science fiction. Faced with the reality, biologists, doctors, lawyers, and religious leaders have all been thinking about how the world might change.
But as time goes by, the cloning technology that brought Dolly into the world has shown that it is not a one-hit wonder. Researchers are producing clones from the cells of an animal with relative ease in laboratories. Others have shown they can combine cloning and genetic engineering to produce cows and sheep that contain proteins for medical uses. There seems to be no doubt that our future will be a future with clones. In fact, nearly every month, there is news of how cloning technology is likely to change our lives. From agriculture to medicine, from psychology to law, some scholars are studying the possible impact of cloning along the way. They are wondering if cloning is the end of humanity, or the start of something quite promising.
55. Dolly is the first sheep .
A. reproduced through a special genetic method
B. appeared on stage as a rock superstar
C. reported in newspapers for being sexy
D. treasured in a museum as a showpiece
56. People have been excited about Dolly because they .
A. look usually upon cloning technology
B. hate to live with cloned animals
C. will be replaced by a better human species
D. never saw a cloned creature before Dolly
57. The passage closes with a remark which is of cloning technology.
A. of a passive attitude to the value B. uncertain about the impact
C. in favor of the development D. sure about the effect
C
Square tables create a competitive or defensive relationship between people of equal status .Square
tables are idea for having short conversations or to create a superior-subordinate (上下级) relationship.The most cooperation usually comes from the person seated beside you and the one on the right tends to be more cooperative than the one on the left.The most resistance usually comes from the person seated directly opposite.
King Arthur used the Round Table as an attempt to give each of his knights an equal amount of authority and status.A round table creates an atmosphere of relaxing and status.A round table creates an atmosphere of relaxing informally and is idea for promoting discussion among people who are of equal status as each person can claim the same amount of table territory (领域) .Removing the table and sitting in a circle also promotes the same result.Unfortunately,King Arthur was unaware that if the status of one person is higher than the others in the group it changes the power and authority of each individual.The King held the most power at the Round Table and this meant that the knights seated on either side of him were non-verbally (无言) granted the next highest amount of power ,the one on his right having a little more than the one on the left,and the amount of power diminished (减弱) relative to the distance that each knight was seated away from the King.Therefore,the knight seated directly across the table from King Arthur was in effect,in the competitive-defensive position and was likely to be the one who gave the most trouble.Many of today's business officials use both square and round tables.The square desk,which is usually the formal desk,is used for business activity,brief conversations,reprimands (训 斥) and the like.The round table,often a coffee table without the around seating,is used to create an informed relaxing atmosphere or to persuade.
58.The underlined word status probably has the meaning of .
A.chance B.work C.position in relation to others D.enviroment
59.The writer wants to tell us .
A.square tables have better results in talking
B.round tables have better results in talking
C.sitting on the left is better than on the right
D.different tables have different results in talking
60.When a square desk is used,what does that mean?
A.It means a formal or relaxing atmosphere.
B.It means a informal or relaxing atmosphere.
C.It means a competitive-defensive relationship or a reprimands.
D.It means a competitive or defensive relationship or to persuade.
61.Look at the drawing,the crown is the King's place,where should the person who is likely to give
most trouble sit?

WASHINGTON— Almost 13 percent of Americans still live in poverty in spite of a slight decrease in their numbers last year and a rise in average household (家庭的) income, the Census Bureau reported last week. Last year, the poverty rate dropped to 12.7 per cent of the population from 13.3 per cent the year before, though common household income per year rose for the fourth year running.
According to the US government, poverty is explained as people who earn US$ 13,003 a year for a family of three, and US$ 16,660 a year for a family of four. The number of those living in poverty fell from 35.6 million in 1997 to 34.5 million in 1998 — but that number is still high in light of the growing economy, which has seen the largest peacetime growing in history since US President Bill Clinton took office over six years ago. One reason for the continued high poverty rate is due to immigration(移民), according to Steve Camarota with the Center for Immigration Studies. His figures show the total number of immigrates living in poverty has tripled over the last 19 years from 2.5 million to 7.5 million in 1998. Clinton took the chance to declare the country's strong financial(财政的) health, saying,“It has helped lift millions of hard-working families out of poverty.”“The best news is that these gains finally are being shared with all groups in America, from the wealthiest to the poorest,”he told reporters at the White House. But the Census report showed that while white households saw their incomes rise 3 per cent from 1997－1998 to a record US$ 424,000, African-American families held steady at an average US$ 254,000 annually. Hispanic (拉丁美洲的) households had a 4.8 per cent increase to US$ 28,300 a year for the period.
62. From the first paragraph, we can get to know that in the last few years .
A. American families have become richer
B. American families have become poorer
C. most American families have enjoyed a better life
D. most American families have suffered a lot
63. In America, “poor families” .
A. have more people than others
B. live in the countryside with more children
C. live in big cities with more children
D. refer to those whose income goes below a certain amount
64. The underlined word“tripled”means .
A. become three times B. made up of three parts C. fallen down greatly D. grown up greatly
65. What Clinton said means that .
A. he would support the poor over the world B. he would be president forever
C. he had done well as president D. he would make the poor richer
66. From the whole passage we can conclude that .
A. people in America live equally
B. people in America live happily
C. people from other countries have made America poorer than before
D. people immigrated from other countries may face difficulties in America

Faced with the threat of water shortages, Beijing and Shanghai will take effective measures to save water and protect water resources.
Beijing will stick more strictly to watersaving policies through the readjustment of industrial structures. Beijing is expected to be short of 1.185 billion cubic metres of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption (消耗) and pollution including electric power, steel and paper manufacturing equipments. Advanced water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.
Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other“highly efficient”agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.
It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city's water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998, and the figure will continue to drop to 28～30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation (修复) of its urban water supply equipments. It's reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution (分发). Water-saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic metres by 2010.
Shanghai still faces key problems connected with its water resources and environment. Since 1998, the city has invested nearly US $ 169 million to treat its rivers, especially Suzhou Creek. The city's rivers have become noticeably clearer since putting it into action.
The government will provide a further US $ 24 million for the treatment of rivers and US $ 12 million to treat sewage (污物).
This year's task is to improve the water quality at the three ports of Longhua, Yangshupu and Hongkou. Another emphasis to raise the water system in Songjiang New Area with a project worth US $ 4.8 million. Efforts will be made to improve public awareness about the need to protect water resources.

I was selected as a judge for it. I read the 34 :“Show how it is possible to determine the 35 of a tall building 36 the aid of a barometer (气压计).”The 37 answered:“ 38 the barometer to the top of the building, fix a long rope to it, 39 the 40 to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building.”
I pointed 41 that the student really had a strong reason for a full score, since he 42 the question completely and correctly. On the other hand, 43 a full score were given, 44 could well contribute to a high grade for the student in his 45 course. A high 46 is supposed to certify competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm (证实，确定) this. I suggested that the student have another try at answering the question. I was not surprised that the teacher agreed, but I was surprised that the student did.
I gave the student six 47 to answer the question, with the warning that his answer should show some knowledge of physics. 48 the end of five minutes, he had not written 49 . I asked if he wished to 50 , but he said no. In the next minute, he dashed off his answer, which was proper and made the teacher give up his thought, and I gave the student almost a full score.

People celebrate birthdays in almost every country on Earth. And they celebrate them in many different ways.
In China and Japan,for example, the arrival of the New Year is more important then a person's birthday. So,everyone adds a year to their ages on New Year' Day, instead of on their birthdays.
In Brazil the special birthday food isn't cake, but special candies. In China, it's long noodles-for long life. In Iceland, pancakes with candies rolled inside them are served on birthdays.
In Great Britain, a birthday is all-day celebration. At school, the birthday kid is lifted up and "bumped" by his classmates. This means the person is lifted by the ankles and arms and bumped on the ground, once for each year and once for growth. In Israel, the same custom is followed, except the birthday person is raised and lowered while sitting in a chair.
In Holland, children not only get gifts, but they give things out, too. It's customary to give cakes, cookies, and candies to your classmates and teacher on your birthday.
In Mexico, it's good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible. So it's not unusual to be awakened at midnight by friends singing birthday sons.
In India, birthday celebrations also begin before dawn. The birthday is also a religious event, so prayers and blessings must be said before dawn. And the birthday person gets to stay home from school that day.
In Thailand, two tall candles are lighted the night before a birthday. One is as tall as the birthday person. It stands for how long the birthday person will live. If it goes out early, it's bad luck. Another Thai custom involves buying live fish and birds. The birthday person frees the animals, which brings luck.
In Nigeria, people don't celebrate individual birthdays. Instead, everyone in a certain age group celebrates together on a certain day.
In may countries, birthday customs are changing. Old customs are giving way to Western style birthdays, complete with candle-topped cakes. But one thing never changes-Birthdays are special days for everyone!

In recent years, in the big cities of the country, there have arisen traffic problems, for cars, trucks, buses and bicycles have increased in number, size and speed. To make matter worse, the population is ever on the increase. As a result the streets are now more crowded than before, Therefore driving in streets today is not so safe as it used to be.
However, all efforts are made to reduce road accidents. Wherever possible, old roads and streets are given new surfaces and narrow roads are made wider. Building or trees that stand in the way of traffic are removed and remarkable road－signs are placed at the proper places.
It is important to see that people on foot are safe on the streets. There is no problem for them to cross the road at the crossing where are traffic lights. Crossing a busy road is difficult and dangerous as cars and trucks move on the streets almost without stopping.
Overhead bridges are built up above these busy roads in increasing numbers. People on foot may now use them to cross the roads while cars and trucks keep going on. The shortcoming is that people who are in poor health may feel it difficult to climb up and down the steps at each end of the overhead bridges.
55. It is difficult and dangerous to cross a busy road because .
A. the road is too smooth
B. the road surface is too wide
C. there are lots of cars and trucks coming and going continuously
D. there are a large number of minibus

57. People on foot may now .
A. use overhead bridges to stop traffic flowing
B. use overhead bridges to cross the roads safely
C. feel it difficult to climb up and down the overhead bridges
D. feel it easy to have a good view of the city

Scientists in India have invented a new way of producing electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels(燃料). It produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about 80 000 000 bullocks(小公牛) which can do all kinds of jobs: working in the fields, pulling carriages through the streets and carrying water for villagers. Indian government has been looking for ways to use less imported(进口的) oil to provide energy. The scientists believe those millions of bullocks can help. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of wells. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old, but the scientists thought it could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only 2 or 3 times a minute. That is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can produce enough power to turn a set of gears(一组齿轮). A large gear sets next to a smaller one. As the large gear turns, it causes the smaller one to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn very fast. Clocks operate with gears, so do cars and so does the device(装置) invented by the scientists to produce electricity.
59.From this passage we know that in the past India produced electricity mainly with .
A.local coal B.foreign oil C.other fuels D.the power of animals
60.Bullocks produce electricity in the same way as .
A.they work in the fields or on the farms
B.they pull carriages through the streets
C.they carry water for Indian villagers
D.they pump water out of wells for farmers
61.Why do the smaller gears move faster than the bigger ones?
A.Because the bigger gears want to synchronize(同步) with the smaller ones, and they
have to move more slowly than the smaller ones.
B.Because the smaller gears have to synchronize with the bigger ones.
C.Because the bigger gears are too big in size to move faster than the smaller ones.
D.Because the smaller gears needn't synchronize with the bigger ones.
62.How do bullocks produce electricity according to the passage?
A.Bullocks walk around and around slowly in a circle.
B.Bullocks run around and around rapidly in a circle.
C.Larger gears make smaller ones turn fast enough.
D.The largest gears have the smallest ones move very fast.

Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had no legs, but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him‘Ape Man’(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.
Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair. Hank felt himself go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be－a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old. Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War Ⅱ came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.
63. It can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is .
A. an average height for a fully grown person

64. The sentence“he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job” implies that the Red Cross .
A. was only glad to give him a job
B. gave him a job because he was a good soldier
C. gave him a job after he talked to someone whom he knew in the organization
D. was not willing to give him a job at first
65. When Hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers, he .
A. did everything the other soldiers did
B. did most of the things the other soldiers did

Michael, a typical (典型的) American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television.Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modem technology seem to be cutting us off from contacting with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating (隔绝)us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts (账户), making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie.
Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
67. After work, Michael likes to .
A. listen to music at the concert hall B. watch a movie in his living room.
C. run a program on his computer m his office D. play baseball with his workmates
68. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Clerks will be able to work at home.
B. One can play baseball on the computer.
C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.
69.What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A. Games and sports. B. Personal banking.
C. Music and films. D. International business.
60.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B. Modem technology seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modem technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves.

Light skin, high cheekbones(颧骨), small nose－the results of plastic surgery(整形手术): this is the Michael Jackson that fans are familiar with today.
The self-claimed “King of Pop”was standing high on the platform at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on January 9. He looked like someone who is out of touch with reality; someone whose riches and fame have led to a strange lifestyle for a strange man.
Jackson, 44, was honoured with the title “Artist of the Century”on the Awards night. The title is a witness (见证) to the success and controversy(争议) that have made his long career interesting.
In 1982, his record“Thriller”became one of the most successful albums(专辑) of all time. It sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. His following albums－especially“Bad”－have all enjoyed worldwide success.
As one of the world's most popular singers, Jackson has been a superstar since he was a child. But he has found his fame hard to handle. His face has been appearing in newspapers and magazines for decades. Jackson joined his brothers as a member of the influential R&B group. The Jackson Five, at the age of four, and he soon became the group's lead singer.
When other kids were playing, he was performing. When other kids were learning how to ride a bike, he was performing. When other kids started school, he was performing. His father forced him to stay in and rehearse(排练), rehearse, rehearse, record, record, record. Being a superstar for Michael Jackson is ordinary life－he doesn't know anything else. What is strange to most people might seem completely normal to him. Imagine never being able to completely normal to him. Imagine never being able to walk along the street without a crowd following you. So it's not surprising that he built his own house in the desert hidden by high fences.
He married Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley, in 1994. The marriage broke down 19 months later. According to his wife, Jackson never meets people without make-up on his face.
The plastic surgery he has had has brought criticism from across the world. As the young 4-year-old star of the Jackson Five, he had dark black skin, an Afro(非洲式的) face. He now looks totally different.
Despite the criticism and six years out of the spotlight, Jackson's latest album, “Invincible,”sold more than 350,000 copies in its first week of release.
Jackson has two children with his second wife, Debbie Rowe-Jackson. Some people believe that his wife is just a paid employee(雇员)－paid well enough to give him two children.

Most of the people who appear most often in the history books are great conquerors(征服者) and generals and soldiers, while the people who really helped civilization(文明) forward are often never mentioned at all.
We do not know who first set a broken leg, or made a seaworthy boat, or calculated(计算) the length of the years; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars(柱子) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in the battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors.
It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages(野蛮人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently -this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done--is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some way of settling their quarrels other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won, and not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the fight. For that is what is going to mean in a war; it means saying that might is right.
55.Most people believe that the greatest countries are those that .
A. built the highest pillars
B. were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countries
C. were ruled by the greatest number of conquerors
D. won the greatest number of battles against other countries
56.In the author's opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are .
A. possibly the most civilized but not the greatest
B. possibly the greatest in some degree but not the most civilized
C. certainly not the greatest in any way
D. neither the greatest nor the most civilized
57.The author says that civilized people should .
A.not have any quarrels to settle
B.not fight when there are no quarrels to settle
C. settle their quarrels without fighting
D. settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side
58."Might is fight" in the last sentence means that .
A. those who fight believe that the winner is fight and the loser wrong
B. only those who are powerful should go to war
C. those who are fight should fight against those who are wrong
D. in a way only those who are powerful will win

New has come from America that we shall soon have no more children. The idea that children are different sorts or people from adults, says Mr Neil Postman, has not always been around. In Medieval Times(中世纪) most children did not go to school, but joined in adult life entertainment(娱乐).
Then printed books were invented and became common. (Before that, the only books were copied by hand, and there were very few of them.) With printing, all families could have books, this meant that adults could get knowledge. Children could not, since the children had to learn to read first. So some knowledge became unsuitable for children. They were no longer just small grown-ups, but had to learn to become grown-ups.
"All this," says Mr Postman, "is now changing." Printing created children, but television is destroying it once again. No one needs to learn to watch television. All knowledge is there for everyone to have. We are going to return to a medieval life-style, and children are once more going to be a part of the adult world.
59.According to the passage, most children in Medieval Times .
A. could go to school they could B. were quite different from their parents
C. had actually been grown-ups D. took part in all the activities like their parents
60.We can conclude from the passage that .
A. printing make it easy to tell children from adults
B. printing makes people's life hard
C. children can't have become adults since printing was invented
D. people will go back to the Medieval Times
61.After television is widely used, the idea of children .
A. will not be popular B. will disappear in our life
C. will be remembered in people's mind D. will not be fit for modem society
62.This passage suggests that .
A. modem children can know what the adults know by modem machines
B. modem children don't know what happened in the past
C. modem world is warmly welcomed by children
D. adults won't be born with children any longer

Ever since man began to use the telephone, there have been new problems arising from the carrying of messages. At first, each message was carried by a pair of overhead wires. As a result, telephone exchanges were soon surrounded by thousands of wires. The wires were then replaced by cables (电缆) , each containing many pairs of wires. Each cable, laid underground replaced the overhead wires.
The more extensive (广泛的) telephone services have become, the more demand for these services has increased, particularly the demand for long－distance services. In China, for example, this growth is now over 30% every year. Long－distance telephone exchanges are usually in crowded cities, it is not easy to lay new cables for expanding services.
The use of radio to send telephone messages and to link all telephone exchanges makes it possible to get rid of overhead wires and some underground cables.
Now man has invented the microwave system. In a microwave system messages from various places can be brought together, and then they are sent out and received by radio. After that, the messages are split into their original form. Finally, they are sent to the places where they are going to be sent.
63. A cable is different from an overhead wire, because it .
A. is made of wood B. needs more exchanges
C. carries more messages D. is much longer

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one's intelligence. But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.
The so - called 'non-intelligence factors' (非智力因素)include 31 feelings, will, motivation(动机)，interests and habits. After a 30－year follow－up study of 8000 males, American psychologists (心理学) 32 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 33 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.
34 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don't pay much attention to 35 these factors.
Some parents are greatly worried 36 their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic (遗传的)factors, malnutrition (营养不良) or laziness, but they never take 37 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don't inquire into these, as reasons 38 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 39 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 40 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray (迷途)because they are sick of learning. 41 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 42 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative (主动)and consciousness (正直地、谨慎的) and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning.
It is clear 43 the lack of cultivation (培养)of non-intelligence factors has been a main 44 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological(生理的)and 45 development among a few students.
If we don't start now to 46 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 47 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 48 about how to cultivate students--non-intelligence factors.
First, parents and teachers should 49 understand teenage psychology. On this basis, they can help them to pursue (调动) the objectives of learning, 50 their interests and toughening their willpower.

We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study, but the way to test a student's knowledge and ability (能力) still remains as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system .
It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a student's memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student's ability. It does no good to students and teachers.
As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of examination that will decide his future or job.
In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself, but it now does anything but that. So students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It doesn't enable them to gain more and more knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies.
Besides, the examinations often drive teachers to cram (填鸭式地教) all the time. They can't teach freely. They are forced to train students what to do with the coming examination from time to time.
There must be some simpler and better way to test a student's true ability besides knowledge.And that is what we should do at once.
51.Now little has been done .
A. to decide a student's job B. to test a student's ability
C. to test what a student learns D. to test a student's memory
52.What are examinations very important to according to the article?
A. A student's fame (声誉). B. A student's power.
C. A student's future. D. A student's achievements.
53.The examination system we are now using can only make the students .
A. remember what is taught B. gain more and more knowledge
C. think for themselves D. make rapid progress
54.This article tells us about the importance of .
A. taking examinations B. testing a student's knowledge
C. working hard D. getting the examination system improved

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality (理性), but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did.
I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility (灵活) and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision (眼界) by communicating with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown - up beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.
Now I'm not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideas finally do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.
The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I supposed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.
55.Why did the author choose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university?
A. He intended to become an engineer and humanist.
B. He intended to be a reasonable student with noble ideals.
C. He wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality.
D. He wanted to communicate with liberal-arts students.
56.According to the author, by communicating with people who study liberal arts, engineering
students can .
A. become noble idealists B. broaden their knowledge
C. find a better job in the future D. balance engineering and liberal arts
57.When the author says "Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and
rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool" at the
beginning of the passage, he actually means .
A. he has failed to achieve his ideal aims
B. he is not a practical and rational student
C. his choice of attending to a small liberal-arts university is reasonable
D. his idea of combining engineering with liberal - arts is noble and wise
58.The author suggests in this passage that .
A. liberal-arts students are supported to take engineering courses
B. technical experts with a wide vision are expected in the society
C. successful engineering students are more welcomed in the society
D. engineering universities with liberal-arts courses are needed

A Chinese scientific expedition left Beijing Tuesday morning for the North Pole to build the nation's first research station in Norway's Svalbad Islands within the Arctic Circle.
The 17-member team of scientists and journalists is expected to conduct a 20-day research project in the North Pole area and build the China Yilite-Morning Arctic Scientific Expedition and Research Station there.
At the conclusion of the three-year project, the longest of its kind made by China, the new, advanced research station will provide Chinese scientists with accommodation(住所) and continuous monitoring and communication capabilities, said Gao Dengyi, the team leader and a scientist on atmospheric(大气的) physics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS).
Scientists will conduct through research on the region's climate, environment and resources. They will also gain experience and prepare themselves for the future construction of a lasting scientific research station.
As the Arctic region is one of the world's most sensitive areas to the global climate and environmental change, a long-term scientific study of the area's weather, environment, resources and biology is important, Gao said. After a brief stay in the Norwegian city of Troms, also within the Arctic Circle, the group will arrive in the Svalbad Islands Wednesday and start their construction work there. Being the closest polar region to China, the Arctic has long been viewed by Chinese scientists as important to the country's development.
Ye Du, a scientist on aerology(高空气象学) from the CAS, said that the vortex(旋涡) flow change of the region may have a strong influence on the winter weather in northern China. Also, the damage of the ozone（臭氧) may seriously have effect on China's climate.
The study of the North Pole, regarded by the world's leading academics to be the “science of the future,”can help mankind gain a better understanding of the earth and outer space. Global organizations like the United Nations, the Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change and the International Research Committee of the Arctic, have all classified the scientific study on the Arctic as the world's priority(重点).
59.The author wrote the passage to .
A. stress the importance of China's setting up research station at the North Pole
B. show that the Arctic region is one of the world's most sensitive areas to the globe climate
C. make it known that the North Pole will see the world's first research station there
D. tell us China is to set up its first research station at the North Pole
60. Chinese scientists have long been viewing the Arctic because .
A. people know little about the region
B. the polar region has great effect on the development of China
C. the climate in the polar affects China all the year round
D. the study of the area is regarded as the science of future
61. The study of the North Pole is regarded by the world's leading academics to be the “science of the future,”because .
A. it helps better understand the earth and outer space
B. the Arctic region has effect on the global climate and environment change
C. people have known little about the North Pole region
D. global organizations like the United Nations and the International Research Committee of the Arctic have all classified the scientific study on the Arctic as the worldn's priority
62. After reading the passage we know .
A. the Chinese scientific expedition is made up of 17 scientists
B. Troms lies in the Arctic Circle, belonging to Sweden
C. the winter weather in northern China has something to do with the vortex flow change of the Arctic region
D. the damage of ozone only affects China's climate

Jerusalem：A U-led commission began investigating(调查) 10 weeks of Middle East blood-shed, yesterday, starting talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
The five-member international team, led by former US Senator George Mitchell, met Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in Jerusalen and was due to meet Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in the Gaza Strip later in the day.
“We don't want to be part of a problem. We want to be part of a solution(解决) to a problem,”European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, a member of the commission, told reporters.
The US-led commission is going ahead despite the resignation(辞职) of Barak, who will remain care-taker prime minister until a new government is formed.
Solana said the team aimed to make a study at the situation with the two sides, to meet the leaders of Egypt and Jordan this week, and to make suggestions to the US President by the end of March. Israel and the Palestinians agreed to the creation of the commission at a peace summit in mid-October that failed to end the violence(暴力).
At least 310 people have died since the start of the Palestinian uprising for independence in the Gaza Strip and West Bank－259 Palestinians, 13 Israeli Arabs and 38 Israeli soldiers and other Israelis.
Palestinians, the UN and human rights groups have accused(控告) Israel of using excessive (过度的) force. Palestinians want the committee to determine who is to blame and to take action.
Israel says its soldiers act only to defend themselves and Israeli civilians. It accuses Arafat of giving a green light to the violence.
It is said that Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo BenAmi would fly to Paris to try to prevent the UN from deploying(部署) international observers who Israel says will do more to prevent peace than to keep it.
63. From the passage, we know that .
A. Barak is going to form a new government
B. Barak has resigned from his position, and a new government has been formed
C. Barak remains care-taker prime minister though he has already resigned
D.Barak's resignation will lead to the stop of clashes
64. Both Palestine and Israel .
A. not only agreed to the creation of the commission, but also agreed who was to blame
B. had already held a peace summit but failed to end the violence
C. had some civilians killed, the majority of whom are Israeli soldiers
D. wanted the UN to deploy international observers
65. The underlined phrase giving a green light probably means in Chinese.
A. 准许 B. 对抗 C. 利用 D. 阻止
66.The US-led commission is going to do the following things except to .
A. meet not only the leaders from Palestine and Israel but also leaders from Jordan and Egypt

An 18th--century statesman Edmund Burke once said, "All that is needed for the success of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing. " One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights to decide whether to be used in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates (鼓吹者) , whose arguments are puzzling the public and threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement attack biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing false reports of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are puzzled that anyone would harm an animal on purpose.
For example, a grandmotherly woman setting up an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was giving out sheets that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals--no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked what will happen when epidemics (传染病) return, she said, "Don't worry, scientists will find some way of using computers." Such well-meaning people just don't understand.
Scientists must communicate their message to the public in an understandable way--in human terms, not in the language of biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother's organ replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's vaccinations (接种疫苗), and even a pet's shots. To those who know nothing about the animal research that was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.
Much can be done. Scientists could give middle school lessons and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, in case animal rights misinformation goes unchallenged and gains a false appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because there are a lot of patients, the health research community should actively admit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that uninformed citizens will wipe out the precious of medical progress.

13 years ago, William Stiles, an expert in American Indian history, discovered the treasure as you see here :a 1996 Volvo.

All the useful energy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun. The sun heats and feeds mankind. Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood.
Coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored-up energy from the sun. Some was collected by this season's plants as carbon compounds (碳化物).Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago.
Even waterpower can be got from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun falls as rain. It courses (流淌) down the mountains and is turned into electric power.
Light carries only the energy that comes from the sun's outer layers (层) , and much of this energy that is directed toward the earth never arrives. About ninetenths of it is absorbed by the atmosphere of the earth. In fact, the earth itself gets only one half-billionth of the sun's entire output of radiant (辐射) energy.
55.What's the subject discussed in the text?
A. The activity of the sun. B. The energy from the sun's activity.

Many people who are rich are also well known. Ted Sweeney was an exception to this rule. His family moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles when he was one month old. That's where he grew up. At the age of seventeen he was hit by a train. Although he was not seriously hurt, the railway paid him $ 25,000 . Instead of going to college, he bought a small store. Six months later, the government bought his land to build a new highway. He sold it for $ 95,000 .
With this money he moved to Detroit. He started a small company that made parts for car manufacturers. It was very successful and by the time he was 23, he was a millionaire. When he was 24, he got married. He and his wife had three daughters in the next five years. By the time he was 30, he had over ten million dollars.
Then tragedy struck. He was involved in a traffic accident. He did not die but his wife and daughters did.Six months later, he sold everything he owned and put his money in stocks. Ted then moved to New York. He lived for the next forty years in a oneroom apartment.
He spent most of his days wandering through the city, looking in garbage cans for food. He never worked; He rarely talked to anyone except himself. Most people were afraid of him. His clothes were always old and dirty.Shortly before he died, he moved back to Los Angeles. After spending two weeks there, he was put in jail because he had no money and no job. City workers tried to help him. They offered him work, but he would not work. Towards the end, he would not talk to anyone at all. When he died, he was a lonely man. But someone remembered his name. They knew he had lived in Detroit. After his stocks were sold and all the taxes paid, there was still over a hundred million dollars left.

THREE women, praised as heroes for reporting bad practices at their places of work---the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation (联邦调查局)、 World Corn (世通公司) and Enron Corporation (安然公司) ---have been named "persons of the year" by Time Magazine at the end of 2002.
They are Coleen Rowley from the FBI, Sherron Watkins, who worked at the now closed Enron Corporation, and Cynlhia Cooper, who exposed bad accounting (会计) methods at World Corn.
The magazine chose the three women as they value truth and have shown courage?"for believing that truth is one thing that must be moved off the books and for stepping in to make sure that it wasn't. "
Time managing editor Jim Kelly said the women stand for a critical struggle facing the US---how to restore trust in disgraced (丢脸的) places.
"All three are sticking to what is right. All three of them are made of very strong character," Jim said.
Rowley, 48, wrote a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller in May. In it, she criticized the FBI for taking no notice of evidence before September 11 ,2001, which hinted of (暗示) an attack. She later told the Senate (参议院) that the FBI was buried in bureaucracy (官僚作风) and "careerism" (追求名利).
Coopr, 38, was a World Corn internal auditor (内部审计员) . She warned the company's board (董事会) in June of US $ 3.8 billion in accounting mistakes. A month later, the telecommunications giant (通讯巨头) declared
the largest bankruptcy (破产) in US history.
Watkins, 43, sent memos (备忘录) in August 2001 warning Enron chairman Kenneth Lay that improper accounting could cause the company to collapse. The company later declared bankruptcy, and Watkins resigned as a vice president in November.
Time's cover story on the three women compares them with Sept. 11 firefighters as heroes chosen by Circumstance (环境) .
"They were people who did right just by doing their jobs right---which means completely, with eyes open and with bravery the rest of us always hope we have and may never know if we do. " the magazine writes.
Last year. Time editors selected then-New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for leading the city's response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The 2002 picks are unusual because the vast majority of the magazine's persons of the Year have been well-known public figures---world leaders, war heroes, corporate chiefs.
Rowley, Cooper and Watkins are nationally unknown before 2002. They said some colleagues now hate them for uncovering the mistakes of their leaders.
"There is a price to be paid," Cooper said. "There, have been times that I could not stop crying." AGENCIES
67.What do the three women have in comnmon?
A. Struggling to restore trust in their work places.
B. Connected with accounting scandals (会计丑闻).
C. Connected with the September 1 1 attacks.
D. Connected with the firefighters.
68.Who declared the largest bankruptcy in US history?
A. the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
B. Enron Corporation.
C. World Corn.
D. Enron and World Corn.
69.When did Shcrron Watkins give up her work for Enron?
A. In August last year when she sent out warnings.
B. In October last year.
C.Three months after she uncovered the improper accounting in her company.
D. When her company declared bankruptcy.
70.Why is the choice of "Persons of the Year 2002" unusual?
A. They are well-known public figures.
B. They were not famous before.
C. They were women.
D. They are hated by their colleagues.

ENGLAND coach Sven---Goran Eriksson faces an anxious wait to see if David Beckham will be available for England's Euro 2004 qualifier against Turkey on Octoberll. Beckham injured his right foot in Real Madrid's 0-2 loss to Valencia on Saturday in Madrid. He landed heavily on his foot, bruising the instep , after the studs of his left boot caught in the turf as he took a free-kick late in the game.
CHINA'S hope of snatching its first-ever APT(Association of Tennis Professionals) title was dashed on Sunday as Zhu Benqiang and Zeng Shaoxuan were beaten 2-6, 4-6 by Australia's Wayne Arthurs and Paul Hanley in the doubles final of the Shanghai Heineken Open. But the event was a historic achievement for China anyway, as prior to it, no Chinese player had made it to the final of an APT tour event. "We need more time to get used to the way foreign players play," said 22-year-old Zeng. "We are still young, which means we have many opportunities to improve ourselves," he said.
36. Valencia is the name of ______.
A. a man B. a woman C. a football team D. a place

One of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization called Heifer International is working to improve this situation. The organization sends needed farm animals to families and communities round the world.
An American farmer, Dan West, developed the idea for Heifer International in the 1930s. Mister West was working in Spain where he discovered a need for cows. Many families were starving because of a civil war in that country. So Mister West asked his friends in the United States to send some cows. The first Heifer animals were sent in 1994.
Since that time, more than four million people in one hundred and fifteen countries have had better lives because of Heifer animals. The organization provides families a chance to feed themselves and become self -supporting. It provides more than twenty kinds of animals, such as sheep, goats, pigs and cows. Last year. Heifer International helped more than thirty thousand families in forty-six countries.
To receive a Heifer animal, groups must first explain their needs and goals. They must also make a plan which will allow them to become self-supporting. Local experts usually provide training. The organization says that animals must have food, water, shelter, health care, and the ability to reproduce. Without them, the animals will not remain healthy and productive.
Heifer International also believes that groups must pass on some of their success to others in need. This belief guarantees that each person who takes part in the program also becomes a giver. Every family that receives a Heifer animal must agree to give that animal's first female baby to other people in need. Families must also agree to pass on the skills and training they received from Heifer International. This concept of "passing on the gift" helps communities become self-supporting.
30. This passage mainly ______.
A. explains what Heifer International is
B. states huger is one of the biggest problems in developing countries
C. criticizes Heifer International for its requirements
D. tells a story about Dan West, the founder of Heifer International
31. What are those families expected to do with the Heifer animals they receive?
A. To eat them when they are short of food.
B. To raise them for the organization.
C. To give them to the people in need.
D. To become self-supporting.
32. What should a family or an organization do to get help from Heifer International?
A. Make Heifer International believe that they're going hungry.
B. Agree to pass on some of the animals to other families.
C. Prove to Heifer International their need for help and that they'll do as required.
D. Promise that they'll help other families in need.

Nathan's second-hand bike was good enough to get him anywhere he wanted to go. Of course, it couldn't match Tim's in a normal speed race, but all the fancy gears in the world wouldn't get you up Black Mountain. The slope was so steep (陡峭的) in places that you had to get off your bike and push.
On this particular afternoon, the odds (possibilities) were all on Nathan's side. For a start, he was stronger. Tim had always been thin, but recently he'd started to grow so fast that his arms and legs were like pieces of spaghetti. As well as being considerably fitter than his friend, Nathan knew the shortcuts (the quickest way) up Black Mountain.
So when Nathan accepted the challenge (挑战), he was sure he'd win. He nearly always did, in competitions with Tim. That was what was strange. Tim was so competitive, and yet he wasn't any good at physical things.
By the time the two boys were three quarters of the way to the top. Nathan was clearly ahead. While the road zig-zagged back and forth diagonally up the mountainside, in certain places there were also vertical tracks, where water rushing down the slope in winter had bitten erosion courses into the soil. These had in turn been so overgrown by bushes and long grass in the spring that they resembled tunnels through the bush. The trick was to know where you could cut off a whole bend in the road by leaving the road and pushing your bike up one of these semi梒oncealed pathways. If you chose the wrong one you'd struggle up for ten minutes and then suddenly reach a dead end. Then there was no choice but to go back.
33. What did Tim challenge Nathan to do?
A. test who had the faster bike. B. decide who was the most competitive.
C. find the secret tracks on the mountain. D. race to the top of Black Mountain.
34. Which of the following advantages did Nathan have over Tim?
A. Nathan had a better bike and knew the shortcuts up the mountain.
B. Nathan was fitter and knew the quickest ways up the mountain.
C. Nathan was stronger and more competitive than Tim.
D. Nathan was stronger and had a better bike.
35. The underlined part "the odds were all on Nathan's side" means that ______.
A. Tim would not try very hard in the race.
B. Tim had not yet grown as big as Nathan.
C. Nathan had a greater chance of winning the challenge.
D. Nathan had more friends who thought he would win.
36. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the third paragraph?
A. This would be the most significant challenge that the boys have had.
B. Nathan would be most likely to win this challenge in spite of Tim's competitiveness.
C. This challenge would be too difficult for both boys.
D. Tim thought this challenge was more important than his friendship with Nathan.

Tricia Mack is a 27-year-old aerospace engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and is travelling to Russia to work on an international space station. It was a quick journey from Rochester Hills to NASA, but instead of being an astronaut, Ms Mack is training them. She knew she wanted to be involved with outer-space, even as far back as her days at the West Middle School. And although Ms Mack knew where she wanted to go, she also knew what it would take. She offers simple advice for kids who might see themselves as future NASA employees: Study your math and science.
Ms Mack teaches everything from putting on the suits to explaining how to read the warming features. Ms Mack shows astronauts how to understand information on the suit itself, as well as warning they might hear in their helmets (头盔). Later, she'll teach astronauts how to do certain things in their suits.
"We have a huge pool that the astronauts are placed in. They wear weights so it feels like neutral gravity(无引力) where they're not sinking and they're not floating to the surface," she said. "Underwater, astronauts have a stand-in for the conditions in outer-space. "
Ms Mack will continue this role as she begins work on an international space station project. More than 40 flights through 2004 will be taken to the space station. Those include trips by the American spaceships and the Russian Soyuz rocket, which hold three persons.
37. When Ms Mack studied at West Middle School, she ______.
A. was eager to do something for the astronauts

A. 2004 flights will be taken to the space station
B. more than 40 flights to the space station will hold people
C. American astronauts can stay in space longer than Russian astronauts

Education is not only the teaching and learning of knowledge, but also transmitting of moral standards (道德标准) and the developing of a person's character.
Liberal education is now spreading all over the world. Much has been done to try to find better teaching methods. Students are encouraged to take part in lessons which are often held in the form of group discussions. They are encouraged to have their own thoughts and their own ideas. They are properly guided in the application of the knowledge learnt. Severe punishment no longer exists even if students misbehave (行为不端) themselves. Teachers and students are just like friends, even though basic manners are sometimes paid little attention to. They are guided to become independent? responsible persons. The ideas are of course a perfect one if it can really be carried out to perfection. However, Utopia (乌托邦) is a place which only exists in the imagination and will never come into reality.
Considering the ever-increasing rate of juvenile delinquency (青少年犯罪) and the untamed (粗野的) appearance of the youth on all occasions, we must admit that immature teenagers should at least be guided properly. Just close your eyes and think how many students there are in every hundred that will meet the duties of a student if they are not pushed. What is the use of mere advice to one who might, because of his nature, tend to be lazy and evil? Advice will become useful and be accepted only if it is supported by a reasonable degree of control and punishment.
It is hard for one to judge the success and failure of an education system. But from the obvious bad behavior of the juveniles who are actually the victim of liberal education, we can see that something must be done to save the spoilt (宠坏的) children.
52. The new relationship established between teachers and students ______.
A. helps students to be independent and responsible
B. makes students behave better
C. cause students to pay less attention to their manners
D. encouraged students to be closer and more polite to their teachers
53. One of the disadvantages of liberal education is that ______.
A. more and more teenagers are ill-mannered
B. the youth spend too much on their clothing
C. the youth are more dependent
D. the youth don't want to be responsible for the society
54. A reasonable degree of punishment is needed in school because ___
A. too much punishment will hurt the youth
B. teachers are allowed to punish students
C. it will help the youth accept useful suggestion
D. the teenagers are to be punished
55. In this passage, the write thinks ______.
A. liberal education is popular and reasonable
B. much should be done to perfect liberal education
C. liberal education is not practical and should be done away with
D. schools and teachers should be responsible for the spoilt children

Hong Kong, major commercial center for Asia, and with a population which has grown at an
alarming rate to over 5 million, is a city highly dependent on mass (大量的, 大规模的) transit of all sorts, both local and long distance. An ordinary Hong Kong worker or businessman, going about his daily activities, simply must use transportation at one time or another.
Because Hong Kong is in two parts, Kowloon, on the mainland side, and Hong Kong, the island, with Hong Kong's harbor in between Hong Kong's mass transit systems, in addition to going over land they must also cross water.
Going from home to work, or going shopping from one side of the harbor to the other, the Hong Kong resident has three choices. One way is to take a bus which will cross the harbor through an underwatertraffic tunnel moving slowly through bumper- to-bumper (一辆接一辆) traffic. Another way is by ferry boat , a pleasant ride which crosses the harbor in from seven to fifteen minutes.
But by far the fastest way of crossing the harbor is the newly built underground electric railway, the Hong Kong Metro(地铁). If one gets on the train in the Central District,the commercial area of Hong Kong on the island side, he can speed across the harbor in an astonishing three minutes. On the other side of the harbor the railway continues, snaking back and forth through the outlying districts of Kowloon, allowing one to get off a short distance from his destination.
The story of the Metro is an encouraging one for supporters of mass transit. Although building the system was certainly a challenging task, the Japanese firm hired to construct it did so in record time. Construction got underway in 1979 and it was completed in 1980.
For the average commuter (一般持月票往返两地的乘客) the system has only onedisadvantage; it is more expensive than by bus or ferry. One can ride the bus across the harbor for half as muchor he can ride the ferry across for less than one-fifth as much.
45.Hong Kong public transportation extends ________.
A.over hills and valleys B.across land and water
C.through mountains D.throughout the Kowloon area
46.Crossing the harbor by train is ________.
A.by far the most economical methods B.the most pleasant method
C.the least pleasant method D.the fastest method
47.The business area on the island side of Hong Kong is referred to as ________.
A.Kowloon B.the Central District
C.the Hong Kong Metro D.downtown Hong Kong
48.The underground railway ________.
A.winds through Kowloon B.ends when it reaches Kowloon
C.snakes across the harbor D.circles Kowloon

On May 21,1999, some American scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright red spots crossing the computers screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening, they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses! Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.
It is said that the computer viruses were made by two or three Philippine young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. The kind of computer virus is named"I Love You"Virus. This virus can hide in computers for a long time .When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the important functions, damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of a great deal of information which operators of the computers often use or store. What's worse, it still can reproduce itself in great quantities within a short time.
We have come to know that "I Love You" Virus often attacks computers on Mondays and that it is spreading to many computers in the world. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses recent years are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. Those who made the computer viruses have been found out slowly and carefully, But till now ,how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.
49.Two or three Philippine young men created the computer viruses to ________.
A.damage the computers
B.test their ability quickly
C.tell the world that they were intelligent

A.the computer's functions are lowered
B.the normal programs are damaged
C.most the information stored in the computers is gone
D.the computers infected by the viruses can no longer be used
51.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.Scientists are trying to find a way to get rid of the viruses.
B.the viruses will come to the new computer after staying in the old one for some time.
C.Last year four countries found their computers were infected by viruses.
D.The "I Love You"Virus is a great ham to human health.

My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends , "My clever little wife can run that company she's working for."
But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases ,and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing ,but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.
I love my husband very much, and I don't want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how .Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help."Distressed"

Have you planted a flower? If you haven't, now let me show you how to do it.
Generally speaking, planting flowers needs five steps. Firstly, you should cover the bottom of the pot with some small stones. Secondly, you put about two inches of soil on top of the stones. Thirdly, you first make a hole in the centre of the soil, and then put the flower you want to plant into the soil. Fourthly, you add more soil until it almost reaches top of the pot, ad press the soil lightly with your hands. The last step is very simple-water the flower. But you don't forget to move it under the shade.

Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879. When he was a boy, he liked to ask questions. By the time he was 14, he had taught himself advanced mathematics. Just at that time he made up his mind to be a physicist and devote himself to science.
His family, however, were poor, but his parents did manage first to send him to a technical school, then to the Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland. He received his doctor's degree at the University of Zurich in 1905. It was then that he first began to do the research work which led to his famous Theory of Relativity.
Einstein was one of the greatest scientists in the world.

This afternoon we had a football match with Class 2. When I was running toward the bell, I fell over. I was hurt so badly that I could hardly stand up. Some of my classmates came up and helped me onto a bike. They took me to the nearest hospital. The doctor in the hospital examined me carefully and said that there was nothing serious. After I was given some medicine, I was allowed to go home. I was so sorry that I couldn't play the match. But I was happy that I had so many friends to help me when I was in trouble.

This afternoon, on my way to the cinema, I saw a case fall off a man's bike. I shouted out to the man to stop, but he didn't hear me and rode away.
I was wondering what to do when I had an idea. I stopped a taxi and got into it with the case. Soon we caught up with the man. Getting the case back, he was so thankful that he offered me some money, but I refused it politely.
Then the driver took me to the cinema. When I paid him, the driver pushed my hand away and said with a smile,“Neither will I accept your money.”

Attention please! I've something to tell you.
Professor Smith－an American disabled person will come to our school to give us a lecture from 2 to 4 o'clock on the afternoon of October 25 in Room 201, the No. 2 teaching building. His lecture is about how he smoothed away all sorts of difficulties. When he was nine years old, he lost his left leg and right arm in an accident. He struggled in his life and managed to look after himself. He achieved great success in his work, too.
After the lecture we will have a discussion in groups on how to encourage disabled people, how to help them and how to learn from Professor Smith.
That's all. Thank you.

Guangming High School

Dear editor,
Our school lies at the foot of a mountain with a small river passing by. It used to look like a beautiful garden. There used to be green trees and all kinds of flowers in our school all the year round. It used to be a quiet place and it was good place for a school.
Things have changed since a chemical works was built near our school a year ago. Every day they produce much waste water and some waste and harmful gases. The terrible pollution has done great harm to us. And the great noise from the works has greatly affected our teaching and studying activities. It makes our school no longer a quiet and good place for study. We suffer a lot from the pollution.
We do hope you can help us to take steps to protect our school and stop it from being polluted.
Yours truly

Radio and television are of great importance to us. Both of them have become an essential part of our daily life, keeping us informed of the news of the day, instructing us in many fields of interest, and entertaining us with singing, dancing and acting.
Radio has a great effect on the world. Events of universal interest can be reported to the entire globe a few seconds after they happen. Sailors on ships at sea, pilots in planes in the air, even astronauts circling the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by means of radio.
Television is another major instrument of communication, permitting us to see as well as to hear the performer. Since its appearance, it has had a tremendous effect on the daily life of people everywhere. A family can watch ball games on TV. It makes it possible for the entire world to be closer than ever before.

Dear Sir ,
I'm writing to tell you something about our discussion on the topic "Whether Middle School Students Can Carry Mobile phones (Cell phones)" at the class meeting.
Forty percent students agreed, for they thought it was convenient for them to communicate with their relatives and friends. They also thought they could surf the Internet to search for some information and store some useful information in them. Besides, they could play games for rest if they feel tired after a long time's study.
However, sixty percent of us were against it. They said the radiation of cell phones was harmful to health, and the ringing sound did somewhat affect the cell phone holders and others. Also, cell phones were luxurious things for middle school students and it was easy to lead them to compare with each other.
As far as I am concerned. I agree with the majority. It is not suitable for middle school students to have cell phones. We can get in touch with others by other means and we can read more books to enrich ourselves.
Best wishes.
Yours, Kate

More and more man-made satellites are traveling in space now. We can use communication satellites to send and receive radio and telephone signals, TV and radio programs, which has greatly helped the people in different areas to understand each other better and get in touch more easily. Weather satellites now can send information and photos of weather conditions to the weather station on the earth so that people get to know the change of weather as soon as possible. With the help of research satellites, more and more experiments have been carried out to discover the secrets of nature and space. Military satellites are playing an important part in world peace because they can fulfill different kinds of special tasks.
