Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (網(wǎng)絡) didnt work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made surfing (瀏覽) the Internet more convenient. Today it is easy to get on-line (上網(wǎng)) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of peoples life. 判斷下列句子是否符合短文內容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用 “F”表示。 l. The Internet has a history of less than thirty years. T F 2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily. T F 3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed to use them. T F 4. People didnt have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the early 1990s.

They have a big farm and they are always busy working on it. Their son, Peter, studied at a middle school. The young man studied hard and did well in his lessons. It made them happy. Last month Peter finished middle school and passed the entrance examination (升學考試). Mrs. Turner was very happy and told the farmers about it. Yesterday morning the woman went to the town to buy something for her son. On the bus she told one of her friends how clever and able her son was. She spoke very loudly. All the people in the bus began to listen to her. “Which university (大學) will your son study in?” a woman next to her asked. “In the most famous university in our country!” Mrs. Turner said happily. “The most famous university?” “Oxford University (牛津).” Most of the passengers (乘客) looked at her carefully. Some of them said to her, “Congratulations!” A woman said, “Im sure hell know Fred Smith.” “Whos Fred Smith?” “Hes my son.” “Does he study in the university, too?” “No, ”said the woman. “He is one of the professors.” l.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “Its cool.”You may think, “Hes so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (擴大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, “Its so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool. 1. We know that the word “cool” has ________. A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning 2. In the passage, the word “express” means“________”. A. see B. show C. know D. feel 3. If you are ________ something, you may say, “Its cool.” A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with 4. The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used. A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with 5. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_________. A. can be used instead of many words B. usually means something interesting C. can make your life colourful D. may not be as cool as it seems Keys： 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D 講解： 1．見首句。 2．由“express”前后詞義關系可推斷出是“表達”的意思，與“show”同義。 3．由第二段首句可知。 4．由例子中的學生用cool 一詞概括出他的所有感受，知cool詞義的擴大會導致語言中詞匯的缺乏，是令人擔憂的。 5．結合第4題的答案可做出選擇。 60、 If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering. 1. The main reason for ones poor memory is that his parents have poor memories. T F 2. If you dont use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong. T F 3. A good memory comes from more practice. T F 4. Some people cant read or write, but they have better memories, because they have saved trouble. T F 5. The best title of this passage is “How to Have a Good Memory”. Keys： 1. F 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. T 講解： 1. 文中沒有此說法。 2. 從第一段可判斷。 3. 第二段開頭已說明。 4. 第四段開頭已說明。 5. 最后一段點題。 61 A meteorite (隕石) almost hit an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in Britain when he was working in his garden. The meteorite was the biggest in the past 26 years in Britain. The meteorite weighed (重量) one kilo, and might be over four thousand million (百萬) years old. “I hear the big noise in the air. I looked up and saw the tops of the trees coming and going,” he said. “I didnt know what it was.” Meteorites are small things from the small planets in space. About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year, but only very few are found. Mr. Pettifers meteorite is the fifth to fall in Britain since the Second World War. Mr. Pettifer is glad. “When you think about it coming from so far away, it really is something strange.” 1. The meteorite was ______ Mr Pettifer when it fell down.

A. Quite a few B. some C. Few D. Many 5. Mr. Pettifer was ______ to see the falling of the meteorite. A. happy B. afraid C. sorry D. angry Keys: A D B C A 1. 從短文第1句看出隕石落下時幾乎砸著Mr Pettifer，故答案應選A。 2. 由短文第2段中“…，and might be over four thousand million”4000百萬即40億，故答案應是D。 3. Mr Pettifer發(fā)現(xiàn)樹梢來回搖擺是因為下落的隕石使它來回動，故答案選B。 4. 由短文第4段“About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year, but only very few are found.”一句可推斷，答案選C。 5. 由短文最后一段第1句“Mr Pettifer is glad ”可以看出，且happy與glad意思相近，故答案應選A。 62、 One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11. I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞擊) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反應) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目擊) an act of terrorism. My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened. It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲劇). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(寬容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍貴的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minu
