Treasure- seeking in Titanic
TREASURES of Titanic as well as the captain' s logbook may reappear to the public.RMS Titanic Company declared recently that it was ready to search the interior part of the wreckage for the first time.
Since 1985 when the wreckage of the luxury boat was found, the RMS has made five attempts to search it. But all the actions were confined(被限制)to the exterior( = outer part)of the cabin(客舱).This time, divers will use a controlled diving machine and enter the boat to make a careful search.
The boat is gradually eroded. This will be the last chance to seek all the treasures (worth about $ 300 million).
Michel Navratil, the last male survivor of the Titanic disaster, has died at the age of 92.Navratil, who became a noted philosopher(哲学家),was nearly four in 1912 when his father left his mother and took him aboard the Titanic.
After the vessel struck the iceberg, his father put the boy into a life boat and went down with the ship.
Navratil said that the Titanic disaster had heavily influenced his career as a philosopher. He recalled the last words of his father as he kissed goodbye to the boy: tell your mother that I loved her dearly and still do.
After the death of M. Navratil, two British and two American women, all in their nineties, are the last survivors of the disaster.
56. Why didn't the RMS search the interior part of the wreckage of Titanic before?
A. Because it was forbidden to do so then.
B. Because no divers dared to enter it.
C. Because it was very difficult to enter it without advanced machines.
D. Because they did't know there were so many treasures.
57. The first piece of news seems to tell us that________.
A. no success has been made in searching the boat
B. the captain' s logbook is also of great value
C. the treasures will remain all right for long under the sea
D. the disaster occurred in 1985

A. It made Navratil sad all life.
B. It left Navratil bad luck and a very poor boy.
C. It had ruined Navratil's family.
D. It had great effect on Navratil's job as a philosopher.
59. Which of the following might be the best headline for the second news story?

D. A Noted Philosopher Who Had a Lucky Escape.

Before you buy a jet printer(喷墨打印机), you' d better decide in advance how much printing you need to do. Then you can print test pages using a variety of printers, a good way to get a quick picture of what a machine can really do. After that, check the specification(说明书) carefully. Here are factors to consider.
Resolution: Resolution refers to the number of dots that a printer lays down per inch of paper. Higher- resolution printers theoretically produce more detailed images with more lifelike colors than lower- resolution printers. But resolution doesn't tell the whole tale; some printers are just better at photos while others are better at texts.
Speed: After resolution, the most important factor for many buyers is speed. More money buys a faster printer, which is important if you frequently print long texts.
Duty cycle:This is the number of pages per month a printer can produce without selfdestroying. It differs from a few hundred pages to thousands. Overwork your printer and it will probably break down, always at the worst possible moment. For ordinary home and school use, duty cycle isn't important, but if you are in a busy office, or you are printing drafts(草稿)of a book, spend a few dollars more for a heavier- duty machine.
Ink consumption: Gillette came up with the idea a century ago-sell razors(刮胡刀) cheap and they' 11 buy your blades(刀片)forever. Printer producers have taken this to heart. In fact, the reason you can buy a decent ink jet for $100 is that you'll be buying $ 30 ink cartridges for life, particularly if you turn out party invitation, greeting cards, buttons, calendars and other projects. As a rule, low- end printers cost more to operate because their cartridges are smaller and require more frequent replacement.
60. Which of the following can produce the clearest printings of pictures?
A.A faster printer with higher resolution.
B.A higher resolution printer.
C. A right kind of printer with higher resolution.
D. A heavier- duty and higher resolution printer.
61. Supposing Smith is a writer, the best printer for him to buy is________.
A. a low-end printer B. an expensive printer
C. a higher resolution printer D. a heavier- duty printer
62. In the writer's opinion, you can buy a decent ink jet printer at $100 because________.
A. the high price will encourage you to buy $ 30 ink cartridges instead all your life
B. the producer is afraid that you will buy $ 30 ink cartridges instead of the ink jet
C. the low price will keep you buying $ 30 ink cartridges one after another
D. the printer can't work well without the decent ink jet
63. What is the most important in choosing the right ink jet printer?
A. Selecting the cheapest one. B. Buying the most advanced one.
C. Meeting your own requirement. D. Printing test pages with a variety of printers.
C
Most offences(犯罪行为), particularly break - ins, assaults (袭击) and hit - and – run car incidents leave traces such as broken glass, blood, fibres or hairs. All these can be left at the scene of offences, moved to a victim(受害者), carried away by the offender or exchanged when cars knock into each other. Legal medical experts are taught during their training that “every contact leaves a trace, ”meaning that the criminal leaves something at the scene of crime. The first stage of any investigation, therefore, is careful examination of the scene and the collection of anything useful found there.
Today's well- equipped lab can help the police use everything they find in their investigation. Taking finger-prints, for example, is still one of the most well- known methods used by the police. However, this matching of fingerprints has been revolutionized by computers. A larger number of fingerprints can now be studied within a much shorter time. The use of various types of radiation makes it possible that even fingerprints left on human skin can now be recognized.
The smallest bit of a man' s skin, hair or blood left at the scene of a crime can also be matched to an offender with certainty by using a technique called DNA profiling or finger printing. DNA is a substance present in every cell of the body; and everyone(except twins)has a special DNA profile. A certain DNA profile can be studied and compared with the DNA profile such as blood, found at the scene of a crime. Careful study of traces left at the scene of a crime is now possible with the electronic microscope. In theory, there are limits to the use of science in law cases. This is encouraging because the forensic pathologists(法医病理学家) say that the most powerful deterrent(威慑)to crimes is not so much the fear of punishment as the certainty of discovery.
64. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. When a car accident takes place, traces of the offending car will be either left in one of the cars or both.
B. In order to collect evidence(证据), the police must investigate the scene of a crime.
C. The theory“every contact leaves a trace”is taught to cheer up the police to carry on different investigations.
D. It is very important to keep the scene of a crime as it was when the crime took place.
65. The computer helps to________.
A. study a fingerprint on human skin
B. study or examine bigger fingerprints
C. store more fingerprints
D. match a large number of fingerprints in a much shorter period of time
66. The evidence of the DNA profiles is accepted by the judges because________.
A. DNA profile are different from one another(except twins)
B. even twins have different DNA profile
C. it' s easy to find the DNA profile at the scene of crime
D. it's impossible to destroy the DNA profile once it is left
67. Which of the following could be used as the best title for this passage?
A. The Importance of the Fingerprint Study B. Crimes and Their Traces
C. The Science of the Investigation of a Crime D. The Development of Forensic Science

From e - mail to on - line shopping, you may think you've heard everything there to know about the electronic frontier(新领域). But with hundreds of thousands of Web pages being added weekly, there are plenty of surprises out there. Here are some of the most intriguing(有迷惑力的).
……
Put your kid on a greeting card. Here is how: simply take some pictures with a regular camera, and then ask the photo service to develop them digitally(数字化). For a small fee, you'll receive your photos on a disk. Put that into your computerand, with a few clicks of the mouse, you can view your photos on the screen. With a few more keystrokes, you can attach(......附在) the photos to e- mail and send them to friends and relatives worldwide.
Sign on to one or several greeting card's Web sites(www. Cardcentral. net is an index of more than 1200 electronic card sites)and create an electronic birthday or holiday card. Using your digital photos, you can paste your grandchildren onto the cover.
If you don' t want to use your own photos, go to cards.amzon.com to browse(浏览)hundreds of images in over 30 categories—-all of which you can attach to an electronic greeting card for free. For a nominal fee you can choose from a library of 75,000 images as www. photodisc.com.
Call Australia for free. To have a telephone conversation over the Internet, the person you want to talk to no longer needs a computer. Now all you need to talk to someone in Sydney is one computer with speakers, a microphone, a sound card and some software(available at www.vocaltec, com or microsoft. com). Typically, you'll pay a monthly fee (usually under $ 20) to a service provider, but after that, the calls themselves-are local. Sound quality is the same as that of a cell phone.
Even if you don' t have a computer, you can still use the Web to reduce your long distance phone costs. Some companies offer a service that lets you use an ordinary phone to call another ordinary phone, but charge only a few cents per minute for U.S-calls, because they send them through the Internet.
Today 48 percent of American homes have computers—a figure that is expected to climb to 60 percent by 2003. And by the end of the next decade, Americans will likely be spending more time shopping, banking, investing and learning on the Internet than in the real world. If you can't do or find something on the Net today, you probably can tomorrow.
68. Over the Internet, you________.
A. can hear everything there
B. will meet with plenty of surprises which come out every week
C. will hear the things about the electronic frontier
D. can find some things are very interesting
69. From the passage we can infer that________.
A. fewer people will use the Internet in the following ten years
B. more people will study in the regular school by the end of the next decade
C. fewer people will go to the regular school in the following ten years
D. more money will be needed for a long distance call by the end of the next decade
70. If you want to attach a photo to your e-mail, you have to________it.
A. digitalize B. take C. picture D. send
71. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. A telephone conversation over the Internet can be carried out without computers.
B. Over the Internet, the receiver of the phone conversation doesn't need a computer.
C. The phone conversations over the Internet are much cheaper.
D. The long-distance calls are local themselves.
72. What is the best title for this passage?
A. From E-mail to on-Line Shopping B. Surprising Things You Can Do on-Line
C. Kids on Greeting Cards D. Free Calls over the Internet

M: Mm. I’m not all that interested really. I’d rather stay at home.
W: Oh, come on, Simon. Think of the sun!
M: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it’s cheaper. And another thing, the traveling would be easier. No boats, planes or anything.
W: Even so, we’ve been to most of the interesting places in Britain already. There’s no point in wasting our summer holiday here.
M: Mm, I suppose you’ re right. However, what I hate is the trouble in changing money
abroad.
W: Oh, don’t be silly, Simon.
M: And what’s more, I can’t speak any of the languages—you know that. It’s all right for you. You can speak foreign languages.
W: Exactly. You see, what I’d really like to do is to practise my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.
M: Mm, but that’s no use to me.
W: But just think of the new places we’d see, the people we’d meet!
M: But, look, if we stayed here, we wouldn’t have to plan very much.
W: I’m sorry, Simon. I just don’t want another cold English summer.
Text 10 M: This is a true story about a French couple, Paul and Mary, who were in Hong Kong on holiday and went to a restaurant for a meal.
W: They had a meal in their hotel?
M: No, what they did was go to a restaurant. Anyway, they couldn’t speak Chinese or English well, so they had to use sign language to order their meal. Well, this seemed to work all right. The waiter nodded and smiled and started to go to the kitchen.
W: He understood them.
M: Oh, I forgot to mention they had their pet dog, Rosa, with them and Mary reminded her husband that Rosa was hungry. They called the waiter back and they pointed at the dog, Rosa, and made eating gestures. The waiter didn’t seem to understand and looked puzzled. But in the end he smiled and nodded and picked up the dog and took it into the kitchen. Paul and Mary were satisfied and chatted about their holiday experiences until their food was ready. After about an hour the waiter returned with their main course on a silver dish covered with a large silver lid. You’ll never believe this, but it really happened. When they lifted the silver lid they found their dog inside.
W: Did they eat their meal?
M: No, of course not. What happened was that they both suffered a mild nervous breakdown and took the next plane back to Paris.
W: And that’s a true story? I find it very unlikely to have happened.
M: It’s perfectly true. Really!

Computers in China
According to a recent investigation, about 30% of the city families have computers. Besides, many village people are more and more interested in computers and some of them even have bought computers. About 70% of the parents bought computers for their children to study, and some for their work. And even some people bought them for entertainment. The fact how the middle school students use the computers really surprises us. Only about 30% of them use computers to find out useful information. About 60% of them use computers to chat with other people on the Internet. What is worse, about 60% use computers to play games and 20% use computers to watch VCDs or listen to music. In my opinion, we should make better use of our best invention—computers.
