26、 又没带，他们想知道时间。 57、 We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互联网), but how many of us know the history of the Internet? 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 (网络) didnt work w

27、ell. 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 netw

28、ork 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.

T F Keys： 1F 2T 3F 4T 讲解： 1第二段开头讲互联网是在60年代建立的，故至今历史已超过30年。2文中第二段阐明计算机网络工作状况不好(didnt work well)。 3第三段中说明大学、医院等都被允许使用电脑，然而，计算机仍然很贵，并且网络很难使用。 4由第三段最后几句介绍可知，到90年代，计算机便宜且好用。科学家也发展了软件使网上浏览更方便。而本题干用了n

32、otuntil句型，译为“直到90年代早期人们才有足够的软件上网”。 58、Mr. and Mrs. Turner live outside a small town. 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

33、 school and passed the entrance examination (升学考试). 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 th

34、e bus began to listen to her. “Which university (大学) 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

35、 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.

The woman next to Mrs. Turner wanted to show off her son, too Keys： 1D 2A 3C 4B 5C 讲解： 1因为牛津大学是英国的著名大学。 2第一段最后一句讲“这使他们高兴”。“It”指代前一句讲的情况，即他们的儿子功课很好。 3

39、根据第三段文意判断。 4第三段最后一句讲“所有人都开始听她讲。”故A不对；她这样做只是想炫耀一下而已。C、D描述的意思都不确切。 5文章前面做了铺垫，讲MrsTurner 如何炫耀她儿子考上大学，结尾讲那个妇女说自己的儿子是教授不论真假，她是在阻止Mrs. Turner的炫耀。 59、“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had m

40、any 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 (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it inste

41、ad 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 wa

42、y 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

43、. 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.

44、sted 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. usual

45、ly means something interesting C. can make your life colourful D. may not be as cool as it seems Keys： 1C 2B 3A 4C 5D 讲解： 1见首句。 2由“express”前后词义关系可推断出是“表达”的意思，与“show”同义。 3由第二段首句可知。 4由例子中的学生用cool 一词概括出他的所有感受，知cool词义的扩大会导致语言中词汇的缺乏，是令人担忧的。 5结合第4题的答案可做出选择。 60、If you do not use your arms or your legs for

46、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. W

47、hen 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, an

48、d 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, na

49、mes, 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 w

50、ill 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 讲解： 1. 文中没有此说法。 2. 从第一段可判断。 3.

51、 第二段开头已说明。 4. 第四段开头已说明。 5. 最后一段点题。 61A meteorite (陨石) almost hit an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in Britain when he was working in his garden.

56、 million”4000百万即40亿，故答案应是D。 3. Mr Pettifer发现树梢来回摇摆是因为下落的陨石使它来回动，故答案选B。 4. 由短文第4段“About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year, but only very few are found.”一句可推断，答案选C。 5. 由短文最后一段第1句“Mr Pettifer is glad ”可以看出，且happy与glad意思相近，故答案应选A。 62、One of the things I always believe is that no matter how b

57、ad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasnt 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 (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Tr

58、ade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism. My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for th

59、eir loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldnt understand how something this terrible could have happened. It wasnt until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more u

60、nderstanding, more tolerant(宽容的). 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(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. Ive learned also that you cant take things for
