1. A Brief History of Cyberspace
Although it may seem like a new idea, the net has actually been around for over 40 years. It all began in the US during the Cold War, as a university experiment in military communications. By linking lots of computers together in a network, rather than serially (in a straight line), the Pentagon(五角大楼) thought that in the event of a nuclear attack on the US it was unlikely that the entire network would be damaged, and therefore they would still be able to send and receive intelligence.
At first each computer was physically linked by cable to the next computer, but this approach has obvious limitations, which led to the development of networks utilizing the telephone system. Predictably, people found that nuclear strike or not, they could talk to each other using this computer network, and some university students started using this network to do their homework together.
It seems a natural human characteristic to want to communicate, and once people realized that they could talk to other people via this computer network they began to demand access, although initially the users were only from the university and government sectors. But more and more people could see the potential of computer networks, and various community groups developed networks separate from the official networks for the use of their local communities.
The sum of all these various local, regional and national networks is the Internet as we experience it today, an ever expanding network of people, computers and information coming together in ways the Pentagon never dreamed of 40 years ago. So what began as an exercise in military paranoia has become a method of global communication.
"Cyberspace" is a term coined by William Gibson in his fantasy novel Neuromancer to describe the "world" of computers, and the society that gathers around them. Gibson's fantasy of a world of connected computers has moved into a present reality in the form of the Internet. In cyberspace people "exist" in the ether--you meet them electronically, in a disembodied, faceless form.

②B。首先确定在句中的含义。文中信息提示“刚才我没听你说话”而是“考虑,思考”另一件事。表达“考虑,思考”时后接动名词形式作宾语。又因为暗示刚刚“正考虑着,正在思考”因此谓语动词用过去进行时以呼应文中信息。

Answers:
1.B 考情态动词表示猜测的用法。在表示十分肯定的猜测时,要用must。从对话来判断,此刻Uncle Tom一定正在花园里种花呢。选项A是干扰项,要注意may在表示猜测时,仅能表示不是十分有把握的猜测。
2.B 此句中含有一个用with引导的独立分词结构,在句子中做状语。since, as和for三个词在表示“因为,由于”这一概念时,均是连词,其后要用完整的句子,不可只跟短语。
3.D 考查非谓语动词中不定式的用法。would love to have done something的意思是“原本很想做某件事,但因为某个原因没有做成”。相当于should have done的意思。
4.B 该答句补充完整应当是“I'm planning to go to the show”,省略了不定式短语“to go to the show”,需要保留不定式符号to。
5.A 此题考查动词时态的掌握情况。救援队原本希望赶来救助的,但是却failed to get there in time。因此要用had wanted来表达一个落空的愿望。英语中常用hope,expect,want,plan,wish,mean这一类表达愿望的词的过去完成时态来表达事实上没能实现的愿望。
6.C 考名词辨异。A、B、D三个选项都是不可数名词,不可与a single连用。
7.A 考一组动词同义词的区别。意思是“我不敢说我对此事十分清楚。”say后要跟所说的内容。tell的固定用法为tell sb about sth,tell a story,tell a lie,tell the truth;而speak则是speak to sb, speak at a meeting, speak English; talk的通常用法为talk to/with sb;talk about sth。
8.C 此题考连词的用法。根据该题的语境,可判断出正确答案是C。
9.A 考不定冠词的用法。“有一个叫Simpson的医生来过电话”,是泛指。B、C、D选项都是错误的,不符合英文习惯。
10.D 考代词。关系代词as用来引导定语从句,置于句首,有“正如,如同”的意思。
11.A 考时间状语从句中时态的用法。the moment可用来引导一个时间状语从句,相当于as soon as引导的从句,用一般现在时表示将来。
12.B 考连词how else的用法。how else=in what other way。如选A项,句子应当改为:“I wonder what else we can do to solve this problem”而用C、D项不合句意。
13.B 考交际用法。“that's a hard one”的意思是“这可难说了;这可是个难题”。
14.B 考定语从句。由从句中的短语the worst(of the trouble)判断出该定语从句应当用of which来引导。
15.A 考过去分词做定语的用法,同时也考动词receive和accept的辨异。一部电影、戏剧、作品等受到欢迎,要用receive,且常用被动语态。意思是:to react in a particular way to
something。例如:How was the play received (观众对这出戏反映如何 )The reforms have been well received by the pubic.(公众对改革反映良好。)

Survey Studies Internet Use in China
A typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes online purchases and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news — often entertainment-related — or for online games. About half download music and movies.
They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.
“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”
The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.
China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.
( ) 1. A typical Chinese Internet user will be the one who _________.
A. likes to send e-mails B. likes to buy goods online
C. likes to pay for entertainment D. likes the games sites
( ) 2. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because _________.
A. it is more difficult for sales returns
B. people haven’t computers
C. people can’t have a look at the goods
D. goods bought online are of low quality

这是一篇议论文,作者论述了电视网络购物得以流行的原因,并得出电视网络购
物与商场购物将并存的结论。 思路引导
文章以Have you ever had to decide whether to go shopping or stay home and watch TV on a weekend开篇,引出电视网络购物这一主题,接着陈述电视网络购物的优点,最后指出电视网络购物与商场购物这二者的发展前景。
答案与解析
1. D 考查语境理解。网络购物时代,人们购物和看电视两不误,能同时做到。
2. B 考查生活常识。一般情况下人们购物要去商店,而网上购物只需在家就可以进行。说明电视网络购物也是人们购物的一种方式。
3. A 考查行文逻辑。这里用ever表示强调甚至,曾经,句意为:甚至不用离开自己的家就可以购物。
4. C 考查语境理解。破折号后面的内容是人们不愿意做的,所以用 be tired of 厌烦。
5. A 考查词语辨析。Fight the crowds指人群熙熙攘攘。
6. C 考查词语辨析。Have slight hope of意为 ……的希望很渺茫。
7. B 考查生活常识。人们通过看电视watch TV选择自己喜欢的产品。
8. D 考查行文逻辑。用while表示主持人介绍产品是和模特展示产品同时发生的。
9. A 考查语境理解。Around the clock表示昼夜不停,持续一整天。根据后面的buying something 10__ by making a phone call可知这里是说电视购物可以在一天中的任何时间进行。
10. C 考查词语辨析。不出家门,只是打一个电话就可以把商品买到手,这里用simple强调客户需要做的仅仅是打个电话。
11. D 考查语境理解。由于电视购物成为一种潮流,百货商场和邮递公司都希望加入进来。Be eager to do sth急于做某事。
12. C 考查词语辨析。句意为:建立自己的电视购物频道。应用 set up建立,设立来表示。Put up显示出,表现出make up形成,构成look up查阅。
13. D 考查生活常识。询问产品的有关事宜,之后进行订购的应是顾客。
14. A 考查固定搭配。Put an order订货为固定搭配。
15. B 考查词语辨析。句意为:电视购物最终会代替商场购物吗?lastly最后一点,指按顺序的最后;finally最后,末了可以指按时间的最后,也可以指按顺序的最后especially尤其,特别地和fortunately幸运地不合题意。
16. B 考查行文逻辑。结合上下文可以判断出前后句子含有转折意味。如果用 however后面需用逗号隔开。
17. C 考查语境理解。把电视或网上虚拟的购物与真正的商场购物进行比较,所以用real。
18. D 考查生活常识。句意为:人们买衣服时总喜欢摸一摸或试穿一下。
19. B 考查语句结构。why引导的是一个表语从句,that’s why…意为那就是……的原因。
20. A 考查逻辑推理。从空后内容可以判断,二者将并存,所以用exist。
V.读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中,选出最佳选项。(5分钟)
Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. Yon may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.
1. The author considers politics and religion ________.
A. cheerful topics B. taboos
C. rude topics D. topics that can never be talked about
2. Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author
A. Sports. B. Children.
C. Personal feelings. D. Families.
3. Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others
A. They don’t want to talk with others much.
B. They don’t want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.
C. They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.
D. They want to keep their feelings to themselves.
4. What shouldn’t you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country
A. Praising your own country’s sports.
B. Criticizing your own country’s sports.
C. Praising the sports of your colleagues’ country.
D. Criticizing the sports of your colleagues’ country.
Answers: 1-4: BABD
【答案与解析】非正式谈话是任何商业联系中的一个重要组成部分,不过谈话时,可别无所顾忌,一定要适可而止。
1. B。语义理解题。从最后一段第1句话As general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion(宗教) with your business friends 可以明显看出答案为什么选B。
2. A。细节题。命题依据是最后一段第4句话Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world。
3. B。判断题。从第2段第3句话…because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的) business relationship they’re trying to build可以推知。
4. D。语义理解题。根据最后一段第4句话中的…although be careful not to criticize a national sport 可知答案为D。

III.判断正误并将错误的句子改正:
AUCTION FRAUD
Auction fraud is the most prevalent of Internet crimes associated with Romania. The subjects have saturated the Internet auctions and offer almost every in-demand product. The subjects have also become more flexible, allowing victims to send half the funds now, and the other half when the item arrives.
The auctions are often posted as if the seller is a United States citizen, then the subject advises the victim to send the money to a business partner, associate, sick relative, a family member, etc., usually in a European country. The money is usually transferred via MoneyGram or Western Union wire transfer. The Internet Crime Complaint Center has verified in order to receive funds via Western Union, the receiver must provide the complete information of the sender and the receiver's full name and address. The funds can be picked up anywhere in the world using this information. There is no need to provide the money transfer control number (MTCN) or the answer to any secret question, as many subjects have purported to the victims. Money sent via wire transfer leaves little recourse for the victim.
The most recent trend is a large increase in bank-to-bank wire transfers. Most significantly, these wire transfers go through large United States banks and are then routed to Bucharest, Romania or Riga, Latvia.
Similarly, the sellers also occasionally direct the victims to pay using phony escrow services. Sometimes actual escrow websites are compromised and other sites resembling them are created by the subjects. Once the funds are wire transferred to the escrow website, the seller discontinues contact. See also, Escrow Fraud ( http: / / www.ic3.gov / " \l "item-8 ).

Formal and informal English
No sooner had I written down this title I realized it could be too big as a subject. In fact the reason I want to talk about this is because I have been really bothered by that. And I couldn’t find out the feasible and effective way to fix it.
Since I entered the university, with so much suggestion saying how important English could mean to me, I have been keeping learning English. Through textbooks and classes I had mastered so many new words and known how to build up a beautiful composition orderly and clearly. With the help of oral training class I had been taught how to speak standard and beautiful English.
But all of these were completely over before this year. Since I am neither an English-major nor an English-related student, that means, from the third year, there could have no English classes for us any more. So for we students who really want to improve our English we need to find a way to keep moving on it. Then here the problem appears.
For me I do read a lot English in my daily life, On the one hand, I choose some magazines and newspapers, such as English World, English Salon, China Daily, Shanghai Star, 21st century as my learning materials. The school library, in this sense, contributes a lot to my English learning. I don’t need to buy all of them and cram them all the time.
In addition, I do also read a lot books concerning oral English, written English, advanced grammar, idioms and etc. Sometimes even I myself could felt perhaps I was a bit too crazy about it. On my bookshelf there are so many English books that sometimes I even don’t know which one I should choose.
But soon I found out it seemed my English had no any improvement. That didn’t make any sense! Worse than that, I began to confuse which word and expressing way I should use when writing some articles. I figured out English was not under my control any more.
I guess, the disordered and unorganized reading habits I chose somewhat resulted in my problem. I couldn’t differentiate which usage could be formal and which is informal. When writing articles I always mixed them up. And one thing that really beats me is I know I have problem but I can’t find it on my own.
I tried to make what I have written as clear as possible, whereas, in most time, when writing, the sentences just come up almost automatically. Although, from time to time, I want what I wrote could to be relatively formal, but it turned out to be always the same, Formal and informal expressions are all mixed up, which really depressed me a lot.
Once my teacher asked me to help him to translate his adviser’s paper. But as soon as I got it, I knew that was impossible. For I read and found the subject of the paper was very serious and formal, which means formal translation should be a must. But, as you know, I was totally unfamiliar to that. I am a layman
This thing frustrated me for a long time. I began to realize that how important separating formal English from informal English is and how badly I need to focus on it. For, generally speaking, as a tool of communication, English is divided and used in two different environments, that is, common and casual situation and official and formal one.
For me, if I want to build up my near future in some foreign company or joint venture, that means I need to focus more on formal English comparatively, for in those environments documents and all stuff need to be built up in English. And as most of them would be filed for reference and admitted by law, which means any error and inappropriate expression should be avoided as much as possible. So you see, whenever I thought of my future, I couldn’t stop worrying about my English.
I don’t know whether some of you here could also have such wondering in your life. If it does exists, then how is your way to break away from this dilemma and make your English more beautiful and sensible How do your feel about formal and informal English Does that really make a difference or not
I am looking forwards to your response, which would surely be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A. used to B. would C. still do D. will not do
解析
① A。根据反意疑问句式的意义,“你不再慢跑,是吗?”“是的,我过去慢跑,但现在改登山了”。句中有明显“过去习惯性行为,但现在没有”的含义,因而只用used to 而不用would。
