When the recent research was analyzed（分析）, it was found that a lot of people wanted free pictures or free music from the Web. If it couldn’t be free, then they wanted it “new” or at least at a low price. It seems that 70 percent of people aged 16 to 24 download music online but only 1 in 40 tracks are bought legally.
Thus, some companies are planning to give all of their music away for free. The music will be totally free except that you will have to pay with your time by watching advertisements. This will be perfect for those who have lots of time but little money.
The Web has encouraged a belief that things can be free, or at least very cheap. It seems that everyone is looking for a good deal on the Web. The desire for free objects is part of the nature of the Web because the Web is about self-service and self-service is all about being free, cheap, fast and convenient. It’s interesting how words change their meaning. Stealing has now become file sharing, but it’s not really stealing, is it?
Free is a funny word. We all know that very little is really for free. If we go searching on the Web for free music, we know—or should know—that there are risks involved. However, it doesn’t matter. We still want free things, or at least the sense that we’re getting a real bargain and that at a minimum we’re saving time.
What can be the worst experience on the Web? A site that charges us high prices and wastes our time.
1.What is the best title for the text?
A. The Nature of the Web B. The Web and the Culture of “ Free”
C. Stealing and File Sharing D. What Does the Word “ Free” Mean?
2.Why do some companies “ sell” their music for free?
A. Their music is not popular and is out of date.
B. Most people have lots of time but little money.
C. Their music can’t be sold new or for a low price.
D. They can earn money from the advertisements added in the music.
3.Which of the following can best describe the belief of the Web?
A. Risky behaviour B. Stealing C. File sharing D. For fun.
1.B
2.D
3.C
【解析】
试题分析：本文讲述了现在人们在网络上提倡免费或至少是东西要很便宜的观念。人们喜欢从网络上下载免费的图片和音乐，讨厌那些价格有高，还浪费时间的网站。
1.推断题，根据第三段中“The Web has encouraged a belief that things can be free, or at least very cheap”网络上一直鼓励一种东西是可以免费的观念，或者至少是非常便宜的。故选B。
2.推断题，根据第二段中的“The music will be totally free except that you will have to pay with your time by watching advertisements. ”音乐将是完全免费的，除了你不得不用占用时间观看广告来支付。由此可知公司可以通过加在音乐中的广告来挣钱。故选C。
3.细节题。根据第三段中“Stealing has now become file sharing, ”“偷”已经变成了文件共享。故选B。

It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise ,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD is over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years , I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
【小题1】Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?
| A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully. |
| B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise |
| C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD |
| D．Because she feels a sense of achievement |
| A．She doesn’t like others r politely |
| B．She likes to make others surprised |
| C．Others don’t understand what she does |
| D．Others try to help her by offering her food |
| A．Good health | B．Firm belief |
| C．A strong power | D．A regular habit |

“Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”
“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分别) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (问候) me in the same way.
【小题1】How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?
| A．He was told that Frank was in the hospital. |
| B．He was invited to study Frank’s illness. |
| C．Frank greeted him in a special way. |
| D．Frank’s name was written on the door. |
| A．At the R Hospital about ten days before. |
| B．In an air-raid shelter during the war. |
| C．In Mrs. West’s house in 1941. |
| D．In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed. |
| A．those who suffered from illness. |
| B．those who were killed during the war |
| C．those who slept in the air-raid shelter. |
| D．those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids |
| A．to find out if Frank could put on his shoes |
| B．to be friendly towards Frank |
| C．to see if Frank’s feet were normal |
| D．to teach Frank to greet people in a special way |
| A．She was over 75. |
| B．She needed all the attention of a baby. |
| C．She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby. |
| D．She lost nearly everything in the war. |
