    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案

    　　Have you thought of coming to the USA as much as I have thought of coming to China? It seems that no matter what else might happen in the world, people wish to know other people. From an American's stand point, I will tell you that most of us are very happy that your country has been allowed into the WTO. We are also happy that you will be hosting the coming Olympics. Between the two of these things I believe that China shall become one of the greatest places around the world to do business and visit with.

    　　I know that some of you might have a very dramatic view of the way America is. So you know, we are a society of people that are run by and governed by money. People who are elected to office in our country are done so because they have the money to pay for a campaign. I think no matter where a person lives in the world, they wish for the same things. If you think you can come over here and make something of yourself, you are right. I believe I can come to your country and make something of myself.

    　　We are all the same around the world you see. Some of us are made to lead, while others of us are made to follow. Here in the United States we could not live the way we do if there were not those of us who do the work that is needed at the bottom of the ladder. Just as in China, we have those who must be the street cleaners, the bakers, the farmers, and all the other jobs that must be done. Like China also, most of us wish we were someplace further up the ladder; maybe a manager of a big company, maybe a famous doctor or actor．The streets are not paved with gold in the United States. It does take hard work to make it.

    　　I would like to tell you all that we do not carry any prejudice towards you．Your people and your culture are much respected throughout the United States. You are known as an intelligent(clever) and resourceful(机智的) people. I hope someday that our countries will be open enough that travel between them will be like travel between the United States and Europe.

    阅读下面短文，用英语简要回答文后所给的5个问题。

         I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Macau. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I
    was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having much chance to enjoy the sun
    in the UK and having naturally fair skin, my legs are very white. In the UK this is not a fashionable (时尚的)
    look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin,
    the better the look.
         As I walked around one shop, two shop assistants didn't take their eyes off me the whole time, talking
    quietly in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop,
    she asked me what was wrong. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend
    laughed."They weren't laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want
    to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a
    lot of money is spent on them."
         It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better. The grass is always greener on the
    other side    . If the women of the West and East thought the same way, Western women wouldn't spend so
    much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn't need to use cream that
    makes skin whiter.
    1. Where did the story happen?
    ____________________________________________________________________
    2. What kind of skin do most British women prefer to have?
    ____________________________________________________________________
    3. Why did the writer think the shop assistants were laughing at her?
    ____________________________________________________________________
    4. What were the shop assistants talking about?
    ____________________________________________________________________
    5. What does the underlined sentence "The grass is always greener on the other side" mean?
    ____________________________________________________________________

         阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).
         A mobile phone service which makes your handset scream when it's been stolen has been started,
    with its makers claiming it could put an end to mobile theft altogether.
         The Remote XT system uses software to link customers' mobile phones directly to a secure remote
    server, which stores all their data from phone numbers to text messages and e-mails. If the owner's phone
    is lost or stolen, they can dial a 24-hour call centre and have it registered. The handset is then disabled,
    and cannot even be used if a new SIM card is put in. At the same time, the system sets off an alarm
    sounding like a high-pitched(尖声的) scream, which can only be stopped by removing the battery.
         Existing data is also wiped off the phone but, because the information has been stored centrally,         
    as soon as the victim gets a news phone, the system designers said.
         "By making mobiles unusable to anyone but the rightful owner the phones become worthless and we
    will see the market for stolen handsets stopped once and for all," said Mark Whiteman, managing
    director of Remote XT. For the moment the system is aimed at business customers and comes with a
    fee of 9.99 pounds per month, possibly available to the majority of average users within two years as
    mobile technology advances.
          According to the latest UK government statistics, mobile phone theft has risen 190 percent in recent
    years, with one third of all UK robberies now solely involving mobile phones.
    1. What is the best title for the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

    2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
    With a phone lost or stolen, the phone's user can call a service centre at any time, having his/ her case
    recorded.
    3. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please
    answer within 10 words.)
    4. Do you believe the security system can put an end to phone theft? Try to give your reasons. (Please
    answer within 30 words.)

         阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).
         Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor cars cover a hundred miles
    in lithe more than an hour,aircraft cross the world inside a day,while computers operate at lightning
    speed. Indeed,this love of speed seems never ending. Every year motor cars are produced which g
    o even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving precious seconds in handling tasks. 
         All this saves time,but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in
    an airplane,our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as j et lag； our bodies
    feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again,spending too long at computers results
    in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also                    ,according to some scientists；too much
    use may put harmful radiation into our brains,a consequence we do not like to think about.
         However,what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax,or so it seems. We are
    so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at
    a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio,letting
    imagination take us into another world.
         There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation(耕耘)of the land
    or the care of cattle. No multi tasking there；their lives went on at a much gentler pace,and in a familiar
    pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so,we must
    think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced:they farmed with bare hands,often lived close to hunger,and
    had to make tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive
    existence.
    1. What's the passage mainly about?(within 10 words)
                                                                            
    2. List the difficulties our ancestors met according to the text. (within 15 words)
    ①                                                                        
    ②                                                                        
    ③                                                                        
    3. Fill in the blank in the 2nd paragraph with proper words or phrases. 
                                                                            
    4. Why do we make new products more and more time-saving according to Paragraph 1 of this passage?
                                                                            
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph into Chinese.

    阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求将答案答题（请注意问题后的要求）
         The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never
    been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be
    followed when online.
         The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how
    you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, "Would
    I say this to the person's face?" If the answer is "no", rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel
    sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.
         If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能反应) is to fire back in the same manner.
    But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
    If it was caused by disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.
    Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
         If you do decide to tell someone in the chat room about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time,
    if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
         It is not polite such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you
    are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.
    1. What's the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 0 words.)
    _________________________________________________________________________________
    2. Why should we ask ourselves"Would I say this to the person's face?" when we are to send a
           message online? (Please answer within 20 words.)
    __________________________________________________________________________________
    3. Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 0 words.)
    __________________________________________________________________________________
    4. Which rule do you think is the best? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)

    阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）

         [1] Queuing, warm beer and afternoon tea-what do they have in common? They are all part of British life.
    Or so I thought. However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a typical traditional
    characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done by the
    Payments Council. It would seem they are no longer prepared to wait in line.
         [2] Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During the second World War, everyone had to queue
    up to receive their daily ration (配给) of foods. In fact, if you didn't stand up and wait in line with all the others,
    it was uncivilized (不文明).The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help
    explain why queuing was seen as a part of life. Almost always, there is a queue to get on.
         [3] But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they
    queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one
    entrance to their buses, which could explain their more relaxed attitude to the queue.
         [4] Two minutes is now the longest time most British are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that
    the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer
    prepared to queue? As the Internet has become more popular among shoppers, impatience with queuing has
    increased.
         [5] "Used to buying without delay, customers are even abandoning purchases rather than wait their turn,"
    says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard. "Shoppers are also less likely to queue for longer if the item they are buying
    is of low value." Perhaps I will have to replace "queuing" with"impatience" in my list of things I associate with
    the British.
    1. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    2. Which of the fol1owing can be replaced by the following one? In the past queuing was thought
    to be a traditional feature of the British, but now they can't stand it any more.
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    3. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper phrases.(no more than 4 words)
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    4. Why do British people tend not to queue any longer? (no more than l5 words)
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.
    _______________________________________________________________________________
