"题目：A Case Study: Desertification around the Gobi Desert
THE PROBLEMS
The GOBI Desert, in the north of China, is now seven times bigger than Britain.
China has large desert areas and much of its agricultural land is being
threatened by desertification, which is getting worse. In addition, soil
erosion has led to a huge loss of farmland and the drying up of rivers.
Consequently, the livelihoods of 35 million people are being threatened.
Furthermore it is even affecting cities. The nearest sand dune is less than
100 miles from Beijing, where unpleasant sandstorms are becoming more frequent.
The worse the situation, the more pressure there is on the government to take
action.
The Causes
The reasons for the changes are complex. It is clear that pollution of the air
and water by factories is affecting the environment. Trees and other
vegetation die, and so soil is eroded. The more trees that die, the less water
is held in the earth. The need for wood for fuel and buildings leads to
further deforestation, which causes further soil erosion. Local farmers find
it more and more difficult to make a living. They end up using inefficient
farming methods, which again leads to soil erosion.
The Solutions
The Government is carrying out anti-desertification projects, including the
creation of a forest belt around deserts. The tree-planting campaign, known as
the Great Green Wall, is meant to protect Beijing from sandstorms. China hopes
to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010 and plans to
establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050.

"题目：GLOBAL FOOD
“Mum, can we go to McDonald’s, please?”
Some people might ask, “Where would we be today if we did not have fast food?”
and “Where would parents take their children out to eat?’
It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in
the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell,
though probably none is more famous than McDonald’s. The distinctive “golden
arch” can now be seen in most major cities in the world. In 2002, McDonalds
had approximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29
million people a day.
Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of “think
global, act local”. McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their “Mac”
meals to different cultures, it was more successful than having a standardized
set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of
McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a
“local” flavor. For example, in Hong Kong, food called “Shake Shake Fries”
and “Red Bean Sunday” can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, “Vegi
Macs” are served.
However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called “junk”
food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many
people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while
millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more
and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. “Convenience” food is
just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call
into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain,
to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work. It is even easier to buy
a “take-away” from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza
to be delivered to your home.

"题目：WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, HORNS REV, Denmark: In the lead up to the Earth
Summit in Johannesburg in August, the Greenpeace ship, the Rainbow Warrior,
today began the first part of a global journey to support the development of
renewable energy around the world.
Offshore wind in the North Sea alone can produce nearly twice the electricity
needs of the North Sea countries. Using only 20% of that would supply one-
third of these countries’ electricity. Greenpeace are going to challenge
governments and industry to make this happen.
The Rainbow Warrior sailed today to Horns Rev, the world’s largest offshore
wind park, which is being built off the coast of Denmark. Another Greenpeace
ship, the Arctic Sunrise, will begin the second part of the global tour in
Southeast Asia next month.
“During these weeks, Greenpeace will be conducting this global tour with two
ships to show that renewable energy is ready and able to replace dirty coal,
oil, gas and nuclear power – not only in the future, but today”, said a
Greenpeace spokesperson.
Wind energy is reported to be competitive with coal and gas power generation
and clearly beats costly nuclear power. The UK government’s energy review
claimed that wind energy will be the cheapest energy source by 2020.
Next month, the Arctic Sunrise will be visiting the Philippines and Thailand,
where communities are rejecting dirty, old-fashioned energy technology like
coal-fired power stations and demanding clean, renewable energy.
1.The purpose of the global tour was{A; B; C; D}.
A.to produce electricity needs of the North Sea countries
B.to support the development of renewable energy around the world
C.to visit the Philippines and Thailand
D.to produce clear and fashioned energy
2.The destination of the ship, the Rainbow Warrior was {A; B; C; D}.
A.Denmark
B.the Philippines
C.Thailand
D.Horns Rev
3.According to the passage,{A; B; C; D}will be the cheapest form of energy by
2020.
A.wind energy
B.nuclear power
C.coal-fired power
D.solar energy
4.The power produced by the offshore wind in the North Sea can be {A; B; C; D}.
A.one-third of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
B.20% of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
C.nearly twice the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
D.exactly the same amount of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
5.We can infer from this passage that {A; B; C; D}.
A.offshore wind in the North Sea has already produced enough electricity for
the North Sea countries
B.the purpose of the Greenpeace ship is to transport renewable energy
C.nuclear power is the cheapest power at present
D.Greenpeace have more than one ship"
"题目：WILL ENGLISH ALWAYS BE THE MAIN INTERNET LANGUAGE?
The Internet’s ability to connect a wide range of cultures encourages variety.
However, for the time being, English dominates online because from the start
it was the lingua franca of cyberspace. Will this always be the case?
Currently about 70% of Internet is in English, but only about 44% of Internet
users are native English speakers. Worldwide, native Spanish speakers
outnumber native speakers of English online, and the number of native Chinese
speakers is greater than both those groups put together.
Statistics show that the situation is changing. For instance, three years ago
75% of web pages were in English, but that number has dropped to 50% today.
Furthermore, Internet use among non-native speakers of English is growing at a
faster rate than that of native English speakers. By 2003, the number of
native English-speaking web users will have dropped to 29%, according to one
estimate.
As a result, some researchers say that the early predominance of English is
going to decline. They say that English will keep a special role in connecting
communities whose native languages are different, but in about 20 years’ time,
Spanish, French, Arabic and Chinese will also have taken on this connecting
role.
If this is true, then monolingual native English speakers may be more likely
to learn another language and also become bilingual, or even multilingual.
1. English became the dominant Internet language because {A; B; C; D}.
A. it is spoken in cyberspace
B. from the start it was the lingua franca of cyberspace
C. all the Internet content is in English
D. it’s most convenient for people to use English online
2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?{A; B; C; D}
A. Over half of Internet content is in English.
B. Less than half of Internet users have English as their first language.
C. More than half of Internet users are native English speakers.
D. There are more native Spanish speakers than native English speakers online.
3.The number of English web pages has{A; B; C; D}in the recent 3 years.
A. risen
B. dropped
C. not changed
D. changed only a little
4.{A; B; C; D}is NOT mentioned in the passage to have the possibility to take
on the connecting role of English.
A. Spanish
B. French
C. hinese
D. Japanese
5.According to this passage, which of the following statements is true about
the future of English?{A; B; C; D}
A. The number of native English-speaking web users will rise in the near
future.
B. The early predominance of English is not going to decline in the near
future.
C. English will keep a special role in connecting communities whose native
languages are different.
D. English is going to dominate the world forever, although there are many big
languages."

Two hundred years ago, it took several weeks for the news of the important
Battle of Trafalgar to reach London. Nowadays, you can watch a terrorist
attack as it happens anywhere in the world. The communications revolution
means that we are constantly bombarded with instant news. This has great
advantages, but it also raises important questions. Satellites have enabled
immediate reporting worldwide. A reporter can send the news to a network like
CBS News and within seconds it can be all over the world. They send electronic
reports that go straight into the newspaper or onto the TV screen. Reporters
can now also transmit images through their mobile phones. Consequently, live,
“on-the-spot” reporting has become the norm and TV viewers can get a much
better idea of what a natural disaster, a conflict or an interesting
scientific discovery is like. In recent years, several changes have occurred
in the ownership of news media. Networks owned by large companies and
governments have become bigger and very powerful. These networks – such as
BBC News 24 – are hungry for news and have huge audiences. However, there can
only be a limited number of such networks and their ownership is a big issue.
Some companies not only own TV and radio networks but newspaper groups as well.
Who decides what news to publish and what sort of “spin” to put on it? Is it
always objective? There are now “spin doctors” who manipulate the news,
emphasising certain parts and not others – and as a result, much of it is not
neutral. Therefore, the question of control of the media matters very much. In
some cases, the media companies are more powerful than governments. They can
even influence elections. So the question is – should they be controlled and
if so, by whom? 操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。 1.

"题目：Blocks of “high-rise” flats have been built in large numbers in
London and in many other big cities. Just after the Second World War these big,
twenty-to-thirty storey buildings, hundreds of feet in height, were thought to
be the ideal solution to the housing problem. For on the one hand, there was
severe housing shortage, but on the other hand, there was lack of space to
build houses in urban areas. Blocks of “high-rise” flats seemed, at first,
to be able to solve the problem, since they can offer space for more families
to live in on less land. The beautiful, modern apartments in the high–rises
were much sought after by people who lived downtown. Hundreds of the vast
blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were
good solutions or not. Are they suitable places for people, children
especially, to live in? A well-known British architect, who personally
designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high-rises may well
make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal. Evidence
has been collected by social workers, which suggests that people do suffer.
They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these
great towers. People also talk about lack of communication with others, no
easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get
familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door
to each other for years in the same building, but they never know who their
neighbors are. Some experts say that a large number of people living in the
high-rises suffer from mental disorder and have even developed criminal
tendencies. As a result of these new discoveries, plans for new high-rise
blocks are being reconsidered. We are now building up many high-rises in big
cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we should also
reconsider the idea too.
题目：
1. There was a big housing problem after the Second World War {A; B; C; D}.
A. in London
B. in the rural areas
C. in many big cities
D. in many countries
2. Blocks of “high-rise” flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the
housing problem, because {A; B; C; D}.
A. there was severe house shortage in big cities
B. there was less and less land to build houses in big cities
C. they were modern and beautiful and much sought after by city people
D. they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people
3. The sentence “Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone
began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not.” means {A; B; C;
D}.
A. it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, people began
to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
B. hundreds of the vast blocks had not been built until anyone began to doubt
about whether they were good solutions or not
C. people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not before
hundreds of the vast blocks had been built
D. before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, some people began to
doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
4. The author takes a well-known British architect as an example to show us
that {A; B; C; D}.
A. he is very proud of his designing of many of the high-rises
B. even a well-known designer of the high-rises believes they are no
good for people
C. even a well-known designer of the high-rises suffers personally
D. high-rises are well-designed, modern buildings which meet people’s needs
5. What is the greatest danger for people living in a high-rise according to
some experts?{A; B; C; D}
A. Lack of communication with others.
B. No easy access to a playground for children.
C. Developing criminal tendencies.
D. Not knowing the neighbors."
"题目：IS IT FAREWELL TO THE PAPERBACK?
When Steven King published his book _Riding the Bullet_, around two million
people downloaded it from the Internet within hours. It was the first time
that an electronic book had done big business, and it was a wake-up call for
the publishing industry.
An electronic book, or e-book, is simply a version of a book that allows you
to store and display it digitally. There are already thousands of classic and
best-selling titles available on websites such as ebooks.com.
E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit.
You can also highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font
size if you have had bad eyesight. In fact, e-book readers are being developed
for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic.
Another advantage is that it let you buy books in segments and carry them
around easily, which should appeal to students. In fact, the University of
South Dakota is planning to give hand-held devices to all its students to help
them in their study.
However, for all this, the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big.
A recent report predicted sales of just 1.9 million in the next 5 years. And
the reason? E-books are more difficult to read and they are just not as
attractive as the printed word.
题目：
1. Which statement about _Riding the Bullet_ from the passage is NOT TRUE?{A;
B; C; D}
A. It was published by Steven King.
B. Less than two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours.
C. It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business.
D. It was a wake-up call for the publishing industry.
2. The word “appeal to ” in Para. 4 probably means“{A; B; C; D}”.
A. to make a request
B. to be attractive to
C. to be interested in
D. to take a question to a higher court
3. Which of the following statements is NOT the advantage of E- books?{A; B; C;
D}
A. They can be stored and displayed digitally.
B. You can highlight a word to bring up its definition.
C. They are more difficult to read.
D. You can buy books in segments.
4. By saying "However, for all this, the current e-book readers are unlikely
to make it big", the author implies {A; B; C; D}.
A. e-book readers will not be made in a big way
B. e-books will bring about great changes
C. e-book readers will be made bigger and larger
D. e-books will not succeed in the near future
5. From this passage we can learn that{A; B; C; D}.
A. e-books are better than ordinary books because the letters are clear
B. e-books are not good for people who find reading difficult
C. e-books allow you to store a library in a small unit
D. sales of e-books are expected to increase rapidly in the future"
"题目：Mobile Phones Save Lives
Mobile phones have changed many people’s lives. Here are two people who tell
their terrifying stories.
Paul
I was traveling alone in Western Australia last year, and one day I set off to
climb a high peak in that area. Although in the summer there are many tourists,
I was there out of season so there weren’t any tour groups. Soon after I
reached the top, it began to drizzle and the fog came down. Very soon, it was
so thick that I couldn’t even make out the path. I take my phone with me
everywhere because you never know when you will need it. Eventually I called
my dad, who was 9,000 miles away in the UK. He told me to phone the local
emergency services, but I felt so stupid that I didn’t want to. Luckily, my
dad realized this and made up his mind to call them himself. The rescuers
called me on my mobile to find out exactly where I was, but unfortunately the
battery ran out after five seconds. I lay down under a rock and waited－it was
nearly night-time and I was cold and wet. Just as they were about to call off
the search for the night, they found me. Fortunately one rescuer had said
“Let’s try for just five more minutes.” If they had given up, I would have
died.
Dave
In march 1998 I was working as a journalist in the Kosovan war. A cameraman
and I had heard that in one village there was fighting, so we decided to go to
investigate. We climbed up the hillside although we were in danger there from
snipers. We knew that if we didn’t get close enough to the village, we
wouldn’t get the best pictures. In fact, we got some brilliant photos, but
then it was so dangerous that we decided to turn back. We were running along a
path on the side of the hill when we were fired at—I felt something hit me
but there was no pain. When we finally reached our base I thought I had better
ring my wife and let her know I was okay. I reached for my mobile phone and
found that a bullet had gone through my wallet and embedded itself in the
phone. I was so happy that I cried. If I hadn’t had my mobile phone, the shot
would have killed me.

"题目：NET BECOMES A BRITISH WAY OF LIFE
The Internet has become a part of everyday life for most Britons, says a
report published this week by market research company Netinfo.
Just over 70% of people questioned for the survey said the net had become
essential. The survey reveals that emailing friends and others is the
nation’s favourite Internet activity. It also found that people spend an
average of seven hours a week online, visiting 13 different websites in seven
days. But 10% of all those who surf the net are doing it for more than 20
hours a week.
Just over 2,000 adults in Britain were interviewed for the report. The study
found almost 19 million people in the UK – four in ten adults – regularly
went online. But the number of new users has slowed down. Numbers online grew
by just 11% over the past 12 months compared with 33% the previous year.
The report also reveals the increasing importance of the silver surfer.
According to the report the number of older people online grew by more than 40%
over the past year. People aged over 55 now make up 17% of the UK Internet
population.
The survey also discovered that many workers surf the net for personal reasons
while at work. Almost three-quarters of workers with Internet access admitted
using it for pleasure, usually to email friends and family. According to Bill
Wills, author of the survey, many employees expect some flexibility, and most
employers are willing to accept this. “However, employers are less likely to
be understanding, if you’re downloading movies or introducing an unfriendly
virus to your company network,” he said.

From: Simon Harris
To: Brett
Cc:
Dear Brett,
Welcome back to St. Swithen’s. I look forward to hearing about your
adventures in the US.
I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went away, and
you need to know about them before you can start work.
The main change is that we have had a new computer system installed. You will
need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients! I’ve
arranged for you to have a training session at 10 o’clock on Monday with our
IT consultant, Gerry. He’s a really nice guy.
It’s especially important that you can use the patient records system. We’ve
had a few teething problems, and it seems complicated at first; but when you
get used to it, you’ll find it really helpful. For example, it’s much
quicker than the old system. Remember you used to wait ages before the
information came up on the screen? Well, now it’s very quick.
You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking system, so you
can see who your next patient is. The new program makes it impossible to
double-book a patient, so we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to.
As well as the computer system, we’ve also installed a new electronic
security door. You will need a special card from reception and it will need
replacing every two months. I’m afraid we made Bill redundant. It’s a shame;
I used to enjoy talking to him every morning.
Well, I hope you like the improvements. Most people find that it makes their
work easier and faster. There is one downside though; the atmosphere has
become less personal. I used to talk to everyone a lot, but now we communicate
by email most of the time. I even email people who work in the same room as me!
Well, see you on Monday, Brett. Nice to have you back.
Best wishes,
Simon

"题目：Why do many people choose to work at home? There are many advantages
and disadvantages that must be considered before making such a decision. In
this essay we look at a few of them.
On the one hand, you may save money on fares and eating out because you are
working at home. There are fewer interruptions in your day as there is nobody
to chat to. Equally, you can organize your time better in order to suit the
needs of your family. You are at home if there is a family emergency that
needs dealing with.
However, you may feel isolated and find it difficult to work well without the
stimulus of colleagues’ thoughts and opinions. While you may save money on
fares and eating out, you may spend more on gas and electricity at home. As
well as this, you may need to invest in computers and communications equipment.
In addition, it can be difficult to make a distinction between work and home
life, and you may find yourself working 18 hours a day at a lower rate rather
than 8 hours more intensely.
In conclusion, working at home does not suit everybody. However, for those who
enjoy it, there is more freedom and flexibility in the working day.
题目：

D. You may find that you are working 18 hours a day at a high rate.
3. The sentence “You may find yourself working 18 hours a day at a lower
rather than 8 hours more intensely” in Para 3 supports the idea that{A; B; C;
D}.
A. you work 18 hours a day at a lower rate
B. you work 8 hours a day at a higher rate
C. you find that you can organize your time better
D. it is difficult to make a distinction between work and life

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about a recent stay at your hotel, The Grand. My wife
and I arrived on 21st March and stayed for two nights.
(1) {A; B; C; D} we waited twenty minutes at reception (2) {A; B; C;
D}there was nobody at the desk. (3) {A; B; C; D} we waited a further twenty
minutes because the receptionist could not find our booking. (4) {A; B; C; D}
our luggage was left unattended in reception for three hours until we finally
took it to our room ourselves.
Our room was not available immediately when we arrived. (5) {A; B; C; D} we
had to wait another hour before we could go to the room. When we saw the room,
it had two single beds and we had asked for a double bed, (6) {A; B; C; D} we
had to change it. Unfortunately the second room was on the top floor and the
lift was out of order. And (7) {A; B; C; D} we had asked for a room with a sea
view, it was facing the road.
Although the food in the restaurant was quite good, we were unhappy with the
service we received. We had booked an evening meal inclusive in the price of
the room. (8) {A; B; C; D} we did not take money to the dining room and then
discovered that we had to pay for the wine immediately. Unfortunately, the
waiters were rude and unhelpful. (9) {A; B; C; D} the manager did agree that
we could pay the wine bill in the morning.
(10) {A; B; C; D}I was most dissatisfied with the entire experience and I
expect full compensation for the inconvenience caused.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Arthur Mullard

"题目：TINY TONGA LAUNCHES SPACE TOURISM PLAN
The tiny (1){A; B; C; D} South Pacific state of Tonga has always had
serious problems (2){A; B; C; D} money, and so it has always been
entrepreneurial. It has sold Tongan passports (3){A; B; C; D} Hong Kong
businessmen; it sold possible satellite broadcasting locations in space; it
even officially changed to a different time zone to be the first country to
welcome the new millennium.
Now Tonga’s latest (4){A; B; C; D} venture is a plan to become the world
centre of space tourism. The Tonga government has made an agreement with a US
company to allow it to use one of its 170 islands to launch rockets that will
take tourists on week-long trips into space at a cost of US$2 million each.
For this price, space tourists receive (5){A; B; C; D} training in a
'resort setting', followed by the holiday of a lifetime orbiting the Earth.
Two astronaut pilots and four astronaut tourists will (6){A; B; C;
D} the trip. However, sceptics say that these budgets are inadequate.
Although they predict that space tourism will eventually bring an income of
US$10 – 20 billion a year, they calculate that the budget of $8 million per
trip will not be enough to pay (7){A; B; C; D} the required technology.
Comparison with the current space tourism programme suggests this maths may be
accurate. To ride the Russian _Soyuz_ (the only tourist ride currently
available) costs more than US$20 million per person. However, other people,
including one important ex-cosmonaut , criticise the Russian
government (8){A; B; C; D} raising money in this way, even though it uses
the money for the space programme. In the ex-cosmonaut's (9){A; B; C; D},
it uses up Russia’s agreed quota of space missions without achieving anything.
He also believes that these (10){A; B; C; D} tourists would be a danger in a
difficult or life-threatening crisis in space.

"题目：A recent survey has revealed that the country with the shortest
holidays and the longest working hours in Europe is the UK. In the UK, a
worker puts in over 43.6 hours a week on average - far higher than any other
European country. The average in the European Union (EU) is around 40 hours a
week. Astonishingly, in the UK, one in ten workers spends more than 61 hours a
week at work. In addition, a British worker only has 20 days’ holiday a year.
Interestingly, however, despite the fact that the British have the shortest
holidays and the longest working hours in the EU, the UK's GDP per worker is
one of the lowest in Europe.
Mediterranean countries like Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy have some of
the longest holidays in Europe, ranging from 33 to 36 days. Although Austria
has the longest holiday time of all in Europe (38 days on average), it has an
above-average GDP per worker.

"题目：As our cell phones get smarter, smaller and faster, and enable users to
connect at high speeds to the Internet, an obvious question arises: is the
mobile handset turning into the next computer? In one sense, it already has.
Today’s most complicated mobile phones have the processing power of a mid-
1990s PC while using 100 times less electricity. And more and more of today’s
mobile phones have computer-like features, allowing their owners to send e-
mails, browse (浏览) the Web and even take photos; 84 million mobile phones
with digital cameras were shipped last year. We ask the question whether
mobile phones will ever overshadow or replace the PC, and the issue suddenly
becomes questionable. PC supporters say mobile phones are too small and
connect too slowly to the Internet to become effective at tasks now performed
on the large screens and keyboards of today’s computers. Fans of the mobile
phones respond: just wait. Coming techniques will solve the limitation of the
mobile phone. “One day, two or three billion people will have cell phones,
and they are not going to have PCs,” says one inventor of the smart phone and
the chief technology officer of an important smart phone company. “The mobile
phone will become their digital life.”
The inventor’s newest product, the shiny, slim pocket-size cell phone, has a
tiny keyboard, a built-in digital camera and narrow openings for added memory.
The smart phone market makes up only five percent of overall mobile phone
sales today, but the figure has been doubling each year. In the United States,
it’s the business crowd that’s primarily buying these handsets. “What makes
the smart phone so much better than the computer is that it’s always with you,
always up and always ready,” says one of them, who works in an 80-member law
firm, which recently started giving its lawyers smart phones instead of
laptops.
题目：
The author believes that the mobile phone has already turned into the next
computer to some extent, since {A; B; C; D} .
A. most of the mobile phones today have the processing power of a mid-1990s PC
B. more and more of today’s mobile phones have computer-like features
C. 84 million mobile phones with digital cameras were shipped last year
D. cell phones get smarter, smaller and faster, and enable users to connect at
high speeds to the Internet
2. PC supporters believe that {A; B; C; D} in the future.
A. computers will work more effectively at tasks
B. computers will perform better with large screens and keyboards
C. mobile phones are too small to be compared with computers
D. mobile phones will not replace the computer
3. Fans of the mobile phones think {A; B; C; D} in the future.
A. they have to wait to see what happens
B. two or three billion people will have cell phones
C. new techniques will solve the limitations of the mobile phone
D. the mobile phone will become their digital life
4. In the sentence of the second paragraph, “…but the figure has been
doubling each year”, the word “figure” refers to {A; B; C; D}.
A. the five percent of the overall mobile phone’s market share
B. a mobile phone’s using 100 times less electricity than a mid-1990s PC
C. the number of two or three billion people who are not going to have PCs
D. the inventor’s newest product, the shiny, slim pocket-size cell phone
5. InAmerica, the main buyers of the smart phones are {A; B; C; D}.
A. fans of mobile phones
B. ordinary crowd
C. business people
D. lawyers "
"题目：Between the wars, the name of Croydon was famous worldwide because it
held the promise of glamour and romance. The reason was the presence of
CroydonAirport: the stepping-off point to Europe and the world for those few
who could afford air travel. It was the centre of the British Empire’s
airmail services, and the start or finish of many heroic long-distance flights.
Croydon was the world’s first international airport.
HISTORY
At the end of the First World War, the decision was taken to combine two
military airfields, and to make them the “Air Port of London” – the
capital’s official customs arrival or departure point for all international
flights.
When the airport opened in 1920, scheduled flights were introduced, carrying
passengers, mail and freight to Paris, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and from 1923
to Berlin. Every effort was made to provide a luxurious standard of in-flight
accommodation and entertainment. Passengers wearing evening-dress and ball
gowns made the short flight to Paris: they danced and drank champagne during
the trip.
Many of the aircraft themselves would be unrecognisable today. _Empire Flying
Boats _offering luxurious travel and first class accommodation catered for the
privileged few. There was plenty of space to relax during the many hours in
the air, which was very important because trips to the furthest corners of
Africa, India and the Far East were measured in days not hours.
Croydon witnessed many of the early landmarks of international flight. Croydon
airport finally closed in 1959 – it was unable to expand enough to cope with
the massive growth in air travel after the Second World War.
Today you can visit Croydon airport and relive the romance and excitement of
the early days of air travel. You can board an_ Empire Flying Boat _standing
majestically in open fields and you can eat a meal cooked in the style of that
day. You can even operate the old air traffic control machines from the top of
the original control tower.

"题目：CHINA IN SPACE
Since the time when Chairman Mao said,"China cannot even put a potato in space,
"things have changed considerably. First, in 1961, the Russians gave us the
word ”cosmonaut”, and then the word astronaut followed from the USA; when
China completed its first manned mission, the world was given the word
"taikonaut”.
China had launched a number of satellites before October 2003 when the first
manned spaceship was launched, powered by the Long March 2F rocket.
The spacecraft Shenzhou V, carrying Cononel Yang Liwei, orbited the Earth 14
times in a mission that lasted 21 hours. The spacecraft was launched from the
JiuquanSpaceCenter in GansuProvince and made a perfect landing in Inner
Mongolia. “I have seen many landings before and I think that ours has been
one of the most successful,” said Cononel Yang. The 38-year-old taikonaunt
had been taking part in the strenuous space training programme for five years.
His schedule partly carried out in Russia, took all his time."I haven’t been
able to take my son to kindergarten”, he said,"and I have never met my son’s
teachers.”
The launch was one of a series in a space programme that is aiming to make
China one of the world leaders. "We are looking at a range of possibilities.
China is expected to complete its first exploration of the moon in 2010.We
will establish bases there just as we did at the North and South Poles,” said
Ouyang Ziyuan, head of the moon exploration programme,” and we won’t rule
out assistance from outside.”
We can expect China to send more taikonauts into space in future years.

"题目：I used to think education was the most important thing in my life.
Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is
essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my
college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing
in front of the audience facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn’t
remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room
without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in
my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes so much of my time that I
feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge; yet fail to
communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they
don’t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don’t know how to socialize.
When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.
I realize that everyone has her or his own way of living. I want to change my
lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part time
job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still
believe that working my hardest does make me happy. I will still stay on in
college, but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.

store knowledge
