    For many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?
    Sony Electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average American home. The $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
    The Sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. The font（字体） is highly readable and adjustable by size. Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books.
    Surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books aren't always a bargain. For example, David Baldacci's "Stone Cold" download retails（零售） for $15.19 at the Sony site, while Amazon（卓越网） will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19.
    The Sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. So what's not to like about the Sony? Well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. Book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which don't need charging. You can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.
    The need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. Many believe the time will come when devices like the Sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today.
    1．What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. The age of the electronic book reader is coming
    B. Printed books are out of date
    C. The Sony reader meets many readers’ needs
    D. The revolution in book readers
    2．According to the passage, the Sony book reader _________.
    A. is as light as a laptop computer               B. can hold more than 200 books
    C. is convenient to carry around                  D. cannot be connected to a PC
    3．What is the author’s point when he mentions “Stone Cold”?
    A. Amazon’s printed books are very cheap
    B. “Stone Cold” can be got from the Sony site and Amazon
    C. The Sony book reader is not very cheap to use
    D. The Sony book reader can benefit its buyers a lot
    4．The underlined word “bibliophiles” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.
    A. music lovers                                            B. book lovers
    C. electronic reading devices                      D. Sony readers
    5．According to the author, what’s the future for the electronic reading devices?
    A. They’ll replace printed newspapers and magazines
    B. They’ll still be more expensive than printed newspapers
    C. They’ll become a must in people’s daily life
    D. They’ll become more popular as time goes on

    1--5    ACCBD  
    随著新数字科技的快速发展与普遍应用,已逐渐改变人们的生活方式,而电子书的问世,更将展开一场阅读革命。
    1．A  主旨大意题。综观全文和最后一段可知大意。本文中The Sony只是个例子。本题易误选C和D。
    2．C  细节理解题。从第二段Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory可知B错误, 从第三段Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books可知A、D错误.
    3．C 态度判断题。根据第四段可以看出答案。注意本题题干所问内容。本题易误选B和D。B是支持作者观点的一个例证；D非作者观点。
    4．B 词义猜测题。该词后面有提示。忽略上下文提供的信息，本题易误选C和D。
    5．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段，特别是最后一句（common与popular）可知答案。本题易误选C。

    The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches (串) of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. "Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira"He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill He didn't have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
    When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the comer selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.
    I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up?” I asked him. “I...I don't have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills."Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. “Thank you very much.”
    When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat (骗子)? And then I wondered why I did it .Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
    Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.
    "Oh, gosh! Long time."
    "Are you in school now?”  I asked.
    He nodded.
    "That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong?” I asked. "It's a gift."
    He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat (汗水). He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."
    64. What was the author's first impression of the boy?
    A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.                   B. He seemed to have suffered a lot
    C. He seemed younger than his age.                     D. He seemed good at bargaining
    65. The second time the author met the boy, the boy________.
    A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts             B. wanted to express his thanks
    C. asked him for money for his schoolbooks           D. tried to take advantage of him
    66. Why did the author give his money to the boy?
    A. Because he had enough money to do that.
    B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.
    C. Because he held a higher position in the society.
    D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.
    67. Which of the following best describes the boy?
    A. Brave and polite.    B. Kind and smart                C. Honest and thankful.       D. Shy and nervous.

    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）。
    Work is a very important part of life in the United States. When the early Protestant immigrants(新教徒移民) came to this country, they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude, the Protestant Work Ethic(道德规范), still influences America today. Work is not only important for economic benefits, the salary, but also for social and psychological need, the feeling of doing something for the good of the society. Americans spend most of their lives working, being productive. For most Americans, their work defines them: they are what they do. What happens then, when a person can no longer work? Almost all Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life in this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive. Of course, _______________; but leaving one’s job, whatever it is, is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to retiring. Many retirees do not know how to use their time or they feel lost without their jobs.
    Retirements can also bring financial problems. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. These checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. The rate of inflation(通货膨胀) is forcing prices higher each year. Social Security checks alone cannot cover these growing expenses. The government offers some assistance, Medicare and welfare, but many senior citizens have to change their life styles after retirement. They have top spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel and other necessities.
    American society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and emotional needs of its senior citizens. The government is taking steps to ease the problem of limited income. They are building new housing, offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services such as free courses, food service, and help with housework.
    76．What’s the general idea of this passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

    Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are out main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
    I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
    Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Change it to me,” was all he said.
    What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
    41. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_________.
    A．promised to obey the store rules    
    B．forgot to take any money with him
    C．hoped to have the food first and pay later   
    D．could not afford anything more expensive
    42. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
    A．kind and lucky        B．poor and lonely
    C．friendly and helpful D．hurt and disappointed
    43. The writer acted upon the store rules because_________.
    A．he wanted to keep his present job  
    B．he felt no pity for the old gentleman
    C．he considered the old man dishonest     
    D．he expected someone else to pay for the old man
    44. What does the writer learn from his experience?
    A．Wealth is more important than anything else    
    B．Helping others is easier said than done
    C．Experience is better gained through practice
    D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

    Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _______71______ . We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
    Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
    Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._____72_______ .
    The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.______73______.
    First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.
    _______74____________.
    Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.
    _______75___________.
    As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.
    A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.
    B．Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.
    C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
    D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.
    E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.
    F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal(把..粘住) them together.
    G. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.
