From the beginning of the Internet, online dating (约会) has become one of the most popular things to all the consumers (顾客). Although this may be fun, it is important to remember to think of your safety when trying to meet that certain somebody. When talking about safety I am referring to taking care of your computer and yourself.
Before getting into the world of online dating you should make sure you take care of protecting your computer. A good fire wall and an anti virus program are a must. These are needed to protect your emails and anywhere you surf on the Internet. There are many great programs offered at your local computer store or available to buy online. With great programs often come some pretty good costs. There is something that is better for the people who just can't afford the cost of a good anti virus — you can find quite a few decent (适当的,相当不错的) ones on the Internet for free.
Protecting yourself could surely be much more important than protecting your computer. You want to be careful in choosing your dating sites. Do some good research. If you know anyone who has tried an online dating service ask them what they thought. There are so many online dating sites that you should do extensive (广泛的) researches. Make sure you keep the web addresses. Keep a list of fees, regulations and anything else that looks interesting to you. If a place looks shady or makes you feel uncomfortable then you should steer clear away. At the end of the day make sure you take care of yourself.
4.When you meet somebody online you should ________.
A.try to know something about him or her
B.learn to protect yourself and your computer
C.remember that all of you are safe enough
D.realize that you are likely to be in trouble
5.The second paragraph is mainly to tell us that ________.
A.it is necessary for you to protect your emails
B.good programs are usually very expensive
C.we can buy good programs at the local store
D.an anti virus is needed to protect the computer
6.Before you visit the dating sites ________.
A.you should try to learn more about them
B.you'd better have a talk with your friends
C.you can look through the web addresses
D.you will collect as many sites as you can
7.The underlined word “shady” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.funny B.strange
C.unsafe D.secret

Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive (富有成效的) than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity,” he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”
However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.
8.What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show
A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C.The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
D.Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.
9.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities
A.Watching videos. B.Reading online news.
C.Reading online novels. D.Playing online games.
10.The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.
A.stop B.organize
C.protect D.separate
11.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
B.Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
C.Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D.People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
“May I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit (出口). At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
“How did you get to know Mr.Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr.Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

15.What is the message mainly expressed in the story
A.We should learn to be generous.
B.It is honorable to help those in need.
C.People in high positions are not like what we expect.
D.We should avoid judging people by their appearances.

From the beginning of the Internet, online dating (约会) has become one of the most popular things to all the consumers (顾客). Although this may be fun, it is important to remember to think of your safety when trying to meet that certain somebody. When talking about safety I am referring to taking care of your computer and yourself.
Before getting into the world of online dating you should make sure you take care of protecting your computer. A good fire wall and an anti virus program are a must. These are needed to protect your emails and anywhere you surf on the Internet. There are many great programs offered at your local computer store or available to buy online. With great programs often come some pretty good costs. There is something that is better for the people who just can't afford the cost of a good anti virus — you can find quite a few decent (适当的,相当不错的) ones on the Internet for free.
Protecting yourself could surely be much more important than protecting your computer. You want to be careful in choosing your dating sites. Do some good research. If you know anyone who has tried an online dating service ask them what they thought. There are so many online dating sites that you should do extensive (广泛的) researches. Make sure you keep the web addresses. Keep a list of fees, regulations and anything else that looks interesting to you. If a place looks shady or makes you feel uncomfortable then you should steer clear away. At the end of the day make sure you take care of yourself.

7.The underlined word “shady” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.

Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive (富有成效的) than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity,” he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”
However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.
8.What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show
A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C.The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
D.Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.

9.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities
A.Watching videos. B.Reading online news.
C.Reading online novels. D.Playing online games.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知C项未提到。
10.The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.
A.stop B.organize
C.protect D.separate
解析:选A 词义猜测题。文章讲到公司让员工上班期间上网并休息一下,有助于他们恢复注意力和提高生产效率。还提到有些公司是花钱来阻止其员工上网、在网上看录像、玩游戏等,但这总不是办法。block“阻止”。
11.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
B.Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
C.Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D.People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,如果一个人上班期间上网的时间过多的话,那么他的生产效率就会降低。

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
“May I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit (出口). At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
“How did you get to know Mr.Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr.Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.
语篇解读:作者和一位老人“邂逅”,充满同情心的作者帮助貌似贫穷的老人买了咖啡,殊不知这位老人实际上是位很有地位、很有权势的人。
12.What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean
A.Unfriendly. B.Untidy.
C.Gentle. D.Kind.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。由第一段第二、三句可知,这位老人没有刮胡子,还戴着破旧的帽子,因此应该是不整洁的。
13.The author bought coffee for the old man because ________.
A.he thought the old man was poor
B.he wanted to start a conversation
C.he intended to show his politeness
D.he would like to thank the old man
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第二段第三句可知,作者以为老人穷,没有钱买东西吃,所以才为老人买咖啡,所以正确答案为A。
14.How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend
A.Proud. B.Pitiful.
C.Surprised. D.Regretful.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“I could hardly believe it.”可知,作者得知老人的真实身份后感到很惊讶,几乎不敢相信。其他三项没有在文中体现。
15.What is the message mainly expressed in the story
A.We should learn to be generous.
B.It is honorable to help those in need.
C.People in high positions are not like what we expect.
D.We should avoid judging people by their appearances.

E.You need a closing at the end of your e mail.
F.If you don't know how to do that, just ask a friend.
G.One of the most commonly used e mails are business e mails.
16.选B 由该空前的“people communicated by telephone or by mail”及“It's faster than traditional mail.”可知,作者将电邮与传统邮件和打电话做比较:电子邮件要比传统邮件快多了,当然也比打电话便宜,故B项内容符合此处语境。
