One of the most successful singers of the twentieth century, Ella Fitzgerald has made several different styles her own. She was born in Virginia but was brought up in an orphanage in Yonkers, New York. Chick Webb spotted her in an amateur competition when she was sixteen. He engaged her to sing with his band and when he died in 1939, she took over.
Unlike Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald taught herself the sentimental music so popular in the 1930’s------ songs like “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”----- and her recordings became best-sellers. During the 1940’s she developed her own “scat singing” ---- a breathless, nonsense---syllable style---- for songs like “Flying Home” and “Lady Be Good.”
Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend, the trumpeter Louis Armstrong, matching him in warmth and artistry. “I just like music, period,” she said. “To me, it’s a story. There’s only one thing better than singing…. It’s more singing.”
1. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. A comparison of Ella Fitzgerald and Bessie Smith.
B. The musical career of Ella Fitzgerald.
C. Ella Fitzgerald’s early childhood.
D. Ella Fitzgerald’s most recent recordings.
2. The underlined word “spotted” means______.
A. noticed B. brought up C. employed D. recognized
3. What does the passage imply about Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
A. They were the founders of “scat singing”.
B. They played the same musical instruments.
C. They performed well together.
D. They were a married couple.

Families have always changed. For instance, once the family was the world. In other words, at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was a child’s only school. One worshiped only within the family. The rules set up by the family were the only laws one had to obey, and the family was the only means one had to settle a dispute. The family is still the “world’ in some cultures. But in many cultures, these former functions of the family have largely been taken over by other institutions, such as schools, churches, and governments.
In the past, families changed in other ways. Some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants, the nuclear family was the rule. The family had to be small in order to move around and live off the land. When people settled in one place and began to farm to obtain food, they found that they needed more hands to do the work. The extended family developed in some cultures. Now in addition to their children, people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.
How are families changing today The number of nuclear families seems to be increasing everywhere in the world. The number of extended families is declining. One reason for this seems to be that in many cultures today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city. Extended families are hard to maintain when people have to be free to move in order to find work.
4. In many cultures today, __________.
A. the family is the world
B. the family is not an institution.
C. the family does not have any functions.
D. the family has lost many of the functions it used to have.
5. The nuclear family was the rule because _________.
A. the family had to move around to find enough food.
B. people didn’t know many ways of hunting animals.
C. People needed many hands to do farming.
D. the extended family had not been invented yet.
6. The reason why many people are leaving farms to find jobs in the city is ________.
A. that there are more and more nuclear families in the world.
B. that extended families are hard to maintain.
C. that people do not like to settle down.
D. not stated in above article.
7. Which of the following is true
A. Although the nuclear family developed before the extended family, the latter is gaining more and more popularity everywhere in the world.
B. the most important reason why people are leaving villages is that they do not enjoy living together with their parents or grandparents.
C. Different types of families have developed as different ways of life are accepted.
D. Families change because tides and fashions always change.

In 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenza-like cases. Influenza is sometimes called ‘flu’ or a ‘bad cold’. He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.
There were three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are type A and B, each of them having several subgroups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus in group A, but he did not know the subgroup. Then he reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W.H.O. published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15-20% of the population had become ill.
As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, doctors began the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself with very high speed, the virus had grown more than a million times within two days. Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs against all the known sungroups of virus type A. none of them gave any protection. This ,then, was something new, a new influenza virus, against which the people of the world had no help whatever.
Having found the virus they were working with, the two doctors now dropped it into the noses of some specially selected animals, which get influenza much as human beings do. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments proved that the new virus was easy to catch, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, call it simply Asian flu.
The first discovery of the virus, however, was made in China before the disease had appeared in other countries. Various reports showed that the influenza outbreak started in China, probably in February of 1957. by the middle of March it had spread all over China. The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March. But China is not a member of the World Health Organization and therefore does not report outbreaks of disease to it. Not until two months later, when travellers carried the virus into Hang Kong, from where it spread to Singapore, did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world. By this time it was well started on its way around the world.
Thereafter, W.H.O.’s Weekly Reports described the steady spread of this great virus outbreak, which within four months swept through every continent.
8. the doctor in Singapore performed a valuable service by ______.
A. finding the subgroup of the virus.
B. developing a cure.
C. keeping his patients apart from others.
D. reporting the outbreak to Geneva.
9. One interesting thing about the virus in the story was that it __.
A. was especially weak.
B. was similar to other viruses.
C. could reproduce with great speed.
D. had samples frozen and packed in dry ice.
10. The experiments in giving the virus to animals proved that this type of influenza was easy to catch __________.
A. but was not deadly.
B. and had rather mild effects.
C. and could possibly causes death.
D. and did not have the usual signs.
11. In order to keep track of a disease such as influenza, W.H.O. must have ________.
A. highly trained experts.
B. co-operation from every doctor.
C. good reporting services.
D. time to study the facts.
12. One thing necessary for discovering influenza outbreak is __.
A. doctors and hospital services.
B. drugs to fight the disease.
C. the United Nations.
D. sick Chinese.

It is true that as a social organization moves from the simple to the complex, so does the organization through which it educates its children. Growth and change are vital if education is to meet new needs and demands. In a very simple social order it may suffice(足够) to have the parents carry on the education of their children. However, as will be shown later in more detail, such a method may become entirely untenable(站不住脚的), and special individuals are entrusted(委交) with the task. These may be hired privately at first, but soon the social group---- the church, village, and the like----will be responsible for education. Eventually, special training is required for those who do the teaching, and an agency to control this training is needed. Thus the influence of local government unit, such as the town, township, and later the state or the province, becomes necessary. It was generally considered simpler to use as a unit the already existing local unit.
13. The closest restatement(重新叙述) of the first sentence is ___.
A. The more complex a social organization becomes, the more complex the educational system becomes.
B. The complexity of a social organization depends on the complexity of the educational system.
C. Social organizations are truly as complex as they need to be for educational purposes.
D. Our society must be complex if we want our education system to serve our children’s educational requirements.
14. The writer would probably argue for _______.
A. more parental influence in education.
B. an educational system which takes social complexity into account.
C. strict state control of education.
D. more special training for teachers.
15. The method which the author says might become entirely untenable is _____.
A. the method of social organization.
B. parental education of children.
C. a simple social order.
D. the entrustment of education to special individuals.
16. The author promises to explain _________.
A. the necessity of the local governmental unit.
B. why it is easier to use the government to control education.
C. the responsibility of the social group.
D. why parents should not teach their children.

Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate”. But not all experts agree that this is a good idea.
One pioneer in particular, who disagrees in David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate”.
David Tebbett thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers but have to be able to tell people questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts are becoming “people-literate”.
17. Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s idea on the relationship between people and computers
A. Computer learning should be made easier.
B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.
C. People should work harder to master computer use.
D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.
18. We can infer from the text that “computer-literate” means ________.
A. being able to afford a computer.
B. being able to write computer programs.
C. working with the computer and finding out its value.
D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it.
19. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns __________.
A. help to set up more computer clubs.
B. bring people to learn to use computers.
C. bring more experts to work together.
D. help to sell computers to the public.
20. David Tebbett started Computertown UK with the purpose of ________.
A. making better use of computer experts.
B. increasing computer programs.
C. increasing computer sales.
D. popularising computers.

Cats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps（打盹）. Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods（情绪）as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.
A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours, often into the night. Napping was their secret.

There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers （梦游者）. Persons have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.
In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.
At the University of Iowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three quarters of a mile to the Iowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.
An expert on sleep in America claims（声称）that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other man alive, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I could get many takers. ”
Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite like the fantastic（怪诞的）. Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and are never recorded.

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
31. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction
A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
32. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog
A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
B. Because he always forget the way to home.
C. Because he did not have any friend.
D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
33. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room
A. He felt strange. B. He felt embarrassed.
C. He felt very sad. D. He felt astonished.
34. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage
A. Someone we don’t know.
B. The writer did it for himself.
C. The secretary did so.
D. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing.

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terri bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
35. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
A. is not used to the life there now
B. has lived there for seventeen years
C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
36. Where do people usually meet their friends in England
A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant.
C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.
37. The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.
A. a taxi B. the money
C. a bomb D. public transport
38. The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he __.
A. felt lonely in England B. had never been to France
C. was from a typical French family
D. didn't like the British idea of family

1.A 从空后的“see the truth behind a problem”得知， Anna Douglas 用的是thinking abilities。
2. A 此各选项均为表示人体部位的名词，但根据上文“scientists returned to the forest and collected some hair and measured footprints”可以确定，句中所说的20英寸是指动物的脚。
3. D 根据下文中agree y一词，说明Alex和她丈夫的观点是一致的，即巡视小组对减少犯罪有很大的帮助。
4. A 上下文中谈到下雨对人们生活的影响，以棒球比赛为例，一场突如其来的大雨，人们不能跑回家拿伞，只可能是找避雨的地方。
5. B 上文中的graduates 已经给了提示，下文是一个例证，这是典型的词汇复现。
6. D 上文中提到20年代有雪人的报道，后文中又是1951年Eric Shipton拍摄了足迹，说明雪人的故事在继续。
7. C 前句说平常，后句说的是不同，上下文形成转折关系。
8. D 前文是解释原理，最后是一个事实，前后是因果关系。
9. C 本题是为状语从句选一个连词。 从上下文来看，由于有了上次不愉快的事，接下来的周末，天气再好也不出门了。 由此可判断事让步状语，故选even though。
10. B 由while连接的两部分形成对比关系, grow fast 和much slower 对找，因此in the shade 也和toward the sun 相对照。
11. A 该题中上文的ran after 和下文的did not dare to follow any further 形成转折关系，故选A，however.
12. B 该题中前后两个动作是顺承，故选B
13. A one 用来代替同一名称的另外一个事物，此处代替之前卖掉的car。
14. A 本空承接and 前的分句，因此答案再questioning 和listening 间选择，属于原词复现。
15. B “在假期工作”， 承接本句上半部分。Work 代替job,属于同义词的复现。
16. D 句中的mid-week暗示空缺出与week 有关，所以at weekends是最佳答案。
17. B 联系上文及Never, 可以判断答案应该是与say good things 相反的内容。
18. B 当人们舒服地待在家里时，会觉得外出是trouble, 这里和comfortable 对应。
19. C 考虑到整句话的意思，再联系到后文的later, 只能选择与之相对的词earlier。
20. B But 暗示了转折的关系，因此应该选和not important 相反的词。

一、
Last summer I worked as a shop assistant in a shoe shop. The job lasted three weeks. Before I arrived for my first day of work, I felt confident. But after that day, I realized that being a shop assistant is not easy. And it is difficult enough without having impatience or rude words on your head. However, getting angry never solves anything at that time, and it’s a salesperson’s job to respect and help every customer. After having worked in a shop, I’ve learned that customers have to understand salespeople. Life and shopping will become much easier if customers and salespeople respect each other and have patience.

Friday, March 12 Fine
It was sunny and warm on March 12, which is Tree-planting Day in China. We schoolmates gathered at the school gate at 8:00 in the morning. Some came with spades, and others with small trees. Half an hour later, we arrived at the bank of the Chaobaihe River in Beijing City. As soon as we got there, we saw Hu Jintao , Wen Jiabao and so on, who are the national leaders, planting trees and watering. Some of us were chatting with Wen Jiabao while planting trees.
We were very tired after two hours’ work. But we were still feeling glad.

One of the most successful singers of the twentieth century, Ella Fitzgerald has made several different styles her own. She was born in Virginia but was brought up in an orphanage in Yonkers, New York. Chick Webb spotted her in an amateur competition when she was sixteen. He engaged her to sing with his band and when he died in 1939, she took over.
Unlike Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald taught herself the sentimental music so popular in the 1930’s------ songs like “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”----- and her recordings became best-sellers. During the 1940’s she developed her own “scat singing” ---- a breathless, nonsense---syllable style---- for songs like “Flying Home” and “Lady Be Good.”
Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend, the trumpeter Louis Armstrong, matching him in warmth and artistry. “I just like music, period,” she said. “To me, it’s a story. There’s only one thing better than singing…. It’s more singing.”
1. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. A comparison of Ella Fitzgerald and Bessie Smith.
B. The musical career of Ella Fitzgerald.
C. Ella Fitzgerald’s early childhood.
D. Ella Fitzgerald’s most recent recordings.
2. The underlined word “spotted” means______.
A. noticed B. brought up C. employed D. recognized
3. What does the passage imply about Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
A. They were the founders of “scat singing”.
B. They played the same musical instruments.
C. They performed well together.
D. They were a married couple.

Families have always changed. For instance, once the family was the world. In other words, at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was a child’s only school. One worshiped only within the family. The rules set up by the family were the only laws one had to obey, and the family was the only means one had to settle a dispute. The family is still the “world’ in some cultures. But in many cultures, these former functions of the family have largely been taken over by other institutions, such as schools, churches, and governments.
In the past, families changed in other ways. Some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants, the nuclear family was the rule. The family had to be small in order to move around and live off the land. When people settled in one place and began to farm to obtain food, they found that they needed more hands to do the work. The extended family developed in some cultures. Now in addition to their children, people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.
How are families changing today The number of nuclear families seems to be increasing everywhere in the world. The number of extended families is declining. One reason for this seems to be that in many cultures today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city. Extended families are hard to maintain when people have to be free to move in order to find work.
4. In many cultures today, __________.
A. the family is the world
B. the family is not an institution.
C. the family does not have any functions.
D. the family has lost many of the functions it used to have.
5. The nuclear family was the rule because _________.
A. the family had to move around to find enough food.
B. people didn’t know many ways of hunting animals.
C. People needed many hands to do farming.
D. the extended family had not been invented yet.
6. The reason why many people are leaving farms to find jobs in the city is ________.
A. that there are more and more nuclear families in the world.
B. that extended families are hard to maintain.
C. that people do not like to settle down.
D. not stated in above article.
7. Which of the following is true
A. Although the nuclear family developed before the extended family, the latter is gaining more and more popularity everywhere in the world.
B. the most important reason why people are leaving villages is that they do not enjoy living together with their parents or grandparents.
C. Different types of families have developed as different ways of life are accepted.

In 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenza-like cases. Influenza is sometimes called ‘flu’ or a ‘bad cold’. He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.
There were three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are type A and B, each of them having several subgroups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus in group A, but he did not know the subgroup. Then he reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W.H.O. published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15-20% of the population had become ill.
As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, doctors began the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself with very high speed, the virus had grown more than a million times within two days. Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs against all the known sungroups of virus type A. none of them gave any protection. This ,then, was something new, a new influenza virus, against which the people of the world had no help whatever.
Having found the virus they were working with, the two doctors now dropped it into the noses of some specially selected animals, which get influenza much as human beings do. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments proved that the new virus was easy to catch, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, call it simply Asian flu.
The first discovery of the virus, however, was made in China before the disease had appeared in other countries. Various reports showed that the influenza outbreak started in China, probably in February of 1957. by the middle of March it had spread all over China. The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March. But China is not a member of the World Health Organization and therefore does not report outbreaks of disease to it. Not until two months later, when travellers carried the virus into Hang Kong, from where it spread to Singapore, did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world. By this time it was well started on its way around the world.
Thereafter, W.H.O.’s Weekly Reports described the steady spread of this great virus outbreak, which within four months swept through every continent.
8. the doctor in Singapore performed a valuable service by ______.
A. finding the subgroup of the virus.
B. developing a cure.
C. keeping his patients apart from others.
D. reporting the outbreak to Geneva.
9. One interesting thing about the virus in the story was that it __.
A. was especially weak.
B. was similar to other viruses.

10. The experiments in giving the virus to animals proved that this type of influenza was easy to catch __________.
A. but was not deadly.
B. and had rather mild effects.
C. and could possibly causes death.
D. and did not have the usual signs.
11. In order to keep track of a disease such as influenza, W.H.O. must have ________.
A. highly trained experts.
B. co-operation from every doctor.
C. good reporting services.
D. time to study the facts.
12. One thing necessary for discovering influenza outbreak is __.
A. doctors and hospital services.

It is true that as a social organization moves from the simple to the complex, so does the organization through which it educates its children. Growth and change are vital if education is to meet new needs and demands. In a very simple social order it may suffice(足够) to have the parents carry on the education of their children. However, as will be shown later in more detail, such a method may become entirely untenable(站不住脚的), and special individuals are entrusted(委交) with the task. These may be hired privately at first, but soon the social group---- the church, village, and the like----will be responsible for education. Eventually, special training is required for those who do the teaching, and an agency to control this training is needed. Thus the influence of local government unit, such as the town, township, and later the state or the province, becomes necessary. It was generally considered simpler to use as a unit the already existing local unit.
13. The closest restatement(重新叙述) of the first sentence is ___.
A. The more complex a social organization becomes, the more complex the educational system becomes.
B. The complexity of a social organization depends on the complexity of the educational system.
C. Social organizations are truly as complex as they need to be for educational purposes.
D. Our society must be complex if we want our education system to serve our children’s educational requirements.
14. The writer would probably argue for _______.
A. more parental influence in education.
B. an educational system which takes social complexity into account.
C. strict state control of education.
D. more special training for teachers.
15. The method which the author says might become entirely untenable is _____.
A. the method of social organization.
B. parental education of children.
C. a simple social order.
D. the entrustment of education to special individuals.
16. The author promises to explain _________.
A. the necessity of the local governmental unit.
B. why it is easier to use the government to control education.
C. the responsibility of the social group.
D. why parents should not teach their children.

Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate”. But not all experts agree that this is a good idea.
One pioneer in particular, who disagrees in David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate”.
David Tebbett thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers but have to be able to tell people questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts are becoming “people-literate”.
17. Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s idea on the relationship between people and computers
A. Computer learning should be made easier.
B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.
C. People should work harder to master computer use.
D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.
18. We can infer from the text that “computer-literate” means ________.
A. being able to afford a computer.
B. being able to write computer programs.
C. working with the computer and finding out its value.
D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it.
19. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns __________.
A. help to set up more computer clubs.
B. bring people to learn to use computers.
C. bring more experts to work together.
D. help to sell computers to the public.
20. David Tebbett started Computertown UK with the purpose of ________.
A. making better use of computer experts.
B. increasing computer programs.
C. increasing computer sales.
D. popularising computers.

Cats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps（打盹）. Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods（情绪）as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.
A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours, often into the night. Napping was their secret.

There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers （梦游者）. Persons have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.
In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.
At the University of Iowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three quarters of a mile to the Iowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.
An expert on sleep in America claims（声称）that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other man alive, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I could get many takers. ”
Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite like the fantastic（怪诞的）. Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and are never recorded.

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
31. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction
A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
32. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog
A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
B. Because he always forget the way to home.
C. Because he did not have any friend.
D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
33. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room
A. He felt strange. B. He felt embarrassed.
C. He felt very sad. D. He felt astonished.
34. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage
A. Someone we don’t know.
B. The writer did it for himself.
C. The secretary did so.
D. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing.

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terri bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
35. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
A. is not used to the life there now
B. has lived there for seventeen years
C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
36. Where do people usually meet their friends in England
A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant.
C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.
37. The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.
A. a taxi B. the money
C. a bomb D. public transport
38. The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he __.
A. felt lonely in England B. had never been to France
C. was from a typical French family
D. didn't like the British idea of family

1.A 从空后的“see the truth behind a problem”得知， Anna Douglas 用的是thinking abilities。
2. A 此各选项均为表示人体部位的名词，但根据上文“scientists returned to the forest and collected some hair and measured footprints”可以确定，句中所说的20英寸是指动物的脚。
3. D 根据下文中agree y一词，说明Alex和她丈夫的观点是一致的，即巡视小组对减少犯罪有很大的帮助。
4. A 上下文中谈到下雨对人们生活的影响，以棒球比赛为例，一场突如其来的大雨，人们不能跑回家拿伞，只可能是找避雨的地方。
5. B 上文中的graduates 已经给了提示，下文是一个例证，这是典型的词汇复现。
6. D 上文中提到20年代有雪人的报道，后文中又是1951年Eric Shipton拍摄了足迹，说明雪人的故事在继续。
7. C 前句说平常，后句说的是不同，上下文形成转折关系。
8. D 前文是解释原理，最后是一个事实，前后是因果关系。
9. C 本题是为状语从句选一个连词。 从上下文来看，由于有了上次不愉快的事，接下来的周末，天气再好也不出门了。 由此可判断事让步状语，故选even though。
10. B 由while连接的两部分形成对比关系, grow fast 和much slower 对找，因此in the shade 也和toward the sun 相对照。
11. A 该题中上文的ran after 和下文的did not dare to follow any further 形成转折关系，故选A，however.
12. B 该题中前后两个动作是顺承，故选B
13. A one 用来代替同一名称的另外一个事物，此处代替之前卖掉的car。
14. A 本空承接and 前的分句，因此答案再questioning 和listening 间选择，属于原词复现。
15. B “在假期工作”， 承接本句上半部分。Work 代替job,属于同义词的复现。
16. D 句中的mid-week暗示空缺出与week 有关，所以at weekends是最佳答案。
17. B 联系上文及Never, 可以判断答案应该是与say good things 相反的内容。
18. B 当人们舒服地待在家里时，会觉得外出是trouble, 这里和comfortable 对应。
19. C 考虑到整句话的意思，再联系到后文的later, 只能选择与之相对的词earlier。
20. B But 暗示了转折的关系，因此应该选和not important 相反的词。

一、
Last summer I worked as a shop assistant in a shoe shop. The job lasted three weeks. Before I arrived for my first day of work, I felt confident. But after that day, I realized that being a shop assistant is not easy. And it is difficult enough without having impatience or rude words on your head. However, getting angry never solves anything at that time, and it’s a salesperson’s job to respect and help every customer. After having worked in a shop, I’ve learned that customers have to understand salespeople. Life and shopping will become much easier if customers and salespeople respect each other and have patience.

Friday, March 12 Fine
It was sunny and warm on March 12, which is Tree-planting Day in China. We schoolmates gathered at the school gate at 8:00 in the morning. Some came with spades, and others with small trees. Half an hour later, we arrived at the bank of the Chaobaihe River in Beijing City. As soon as we got there, we saw Hu Jintao , Wen Jiabao and so on, who are the national leaders, planting trees and watering. Some of us were chatting with Wen Jiabao while planting trees.
We were very tired after two hours’ work. But we were still feeling glad.
