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) didn't 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' (浏览) the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) 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 people's
life.
判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，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 didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the
early 1990s.
T F
参考答案： 1．F 2．T 3．F 4．T
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(didn't 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 not…until 句型，译
为“直到 90 年代早期人们才有足够的软件上网”。

“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 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 “It's cool.”You
may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of
many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's 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 student's paper was just the
one sentence, “It's 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, “It's 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
参考答案 ： 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D
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。
参考答案 ： 1. A 2. D 3. A 4. D 5. C

1. 由短文最后一句“They had travelled 1,797 kilometres from London”
可知，最接近“for nearly 1,800 kilometres”，因此选 A。
2. 由短文第 2 段倒数第 3 句“So they were able to change its weight”可
知答案为 D。
3. 从第 3 段可以看出，越往上温度越低，因此应选 A。

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 one's poor memory is that his parents have poor
memories.
T F
2. If you don't 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 can't 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”.
参考答案： 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. 第二段开头已说明。 4. 第四段开头已说明。

A meteorite (陨石) 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.

million (百万) 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 didn't know what it was.”

meteorites may fall on earth every year, but only very few are found. Mr.

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。

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

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 (撞击)
into the North Tower of the World Trade 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 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 (悲剧). People seem different
now, more understanding, 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. 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 minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t
live by it. All you can do is just live.
1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.
A. terrible B. bad C. good D. real
2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?
A. A fire starting B. A plane flying
C. A terrible accident D. An act of terrorism.
3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.
A. people should make the most of every minute they have
B. he has become less tolerant towards others
C. he should get worried about little things
D. life is too short to care about others.
4. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. A Report about September 11
B. The Tragedy of September 11
C. September 11 and My Family
D. September 11 and My Turn.
参考答案
讲解：
1. C 见第一行，不管（no matter）事情多糟，总能发现有益的东西。
2. D 见第六行。
3. A 见倒数第三行。So we all need to make the most of every minute we
have.

A man went to a fast-food restaurant to buy his lunch. “Hi，”a worker said.
“May I help you?”
“I'd like a hamburger，large chips，and a Coke.” the man said.
“Anything else?” the worker asked.
“No.” the man answered. “That's it.”
“Is that for here or to go?” the worker asked.
“To go.” the man said.
The worker put the man's lunch in a bag. The man took out his money and
paid for his lunch.
“Thank you.” the worker said，“Have a nice day.”
The man took the bag and walked to a park. He sat down and opened the
bag. He was surprised. There was no hamburger in the bag. There were no
chips. There was no Coke. There was only money in the bag--a lot of money!

bag? Where was the man's lunch?

A strange thing happens to nearly everybody at night. They turn off the
lights，pull up the covers and close their eyes. Six or seven sleeping hours later，
they wake up again. Strange，isn't it?
Sleep puzzles science. Scientists and doctors would rather talk about why
one can't fall asleep. They are not sure what causes sleep. The best conditions
for sleep are good health and meals neither too big nor too small. No worries
and a comfortable place are important，too. They advise against two in bed.
Strange things happen during sleep. For example，they move often. You
would feel tired if you didn't. You also dream. Part of your brain is still awake
when you dream. Dreaming happens when the memory and imagination in
parts of your brain are still awake. Experiments have shown most of us dream
in color. Bad dreams may be caused by stomachache.
Don't worry if you dream. Some great stories and poems were begun while
their writers slept.

In 26th January，the biggest earthquake(地震) in India took the lives of
25，000 people. In the morning，when everybody was enjoying holiday，
earthquake began. It was about 7.5 on the Ritcher scale. “There is nothing left
between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled
down，”said one of the villagers alive. “There is no water，no food and no one
has come to help.”
Nobody died in Pakistan，a country next to India. The City of Lahore was
lucky. In Lahore American School，where I was studying，all of the students
were safe. They were on the field，so most children didn't feel anything. The
earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However，
though Mrs. Young was also on the second floor，she didn't feel anything. She
didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those teachers who
were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr. Emend，the maths teacher
from Australia ， said that when the earthquake started he thought there was
something wrong with him ， but then another teacher said that it was an
earthquake. After those words Mr. Emend felt better. Mrs. Davis and Mr. Frost
didn't feel anything either.
My mother didn't feel anything. She didn't even know that it was an
earthquake till she saw a shaking (moving from side to side) light. My dad saw
the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many
people going out.
1. People use “Ritcher scale” to tell _________.
A. where the earthquake takes place
B. when the earthquake takes place
C. how serious the earthquake is
D. how long the earthquake lasts

sky and the earth any more.”
A. India is a large country
B. the Indian people had nothing after the earthquake
C. there is no tall building in India
D. the earthquake in India was serious

A. in India B. in America

“I don't like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should
not do that. It sometimes makes me angry，” said Zhang Hua，a middle school
student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents
had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem
that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent，he/she likes
worrying things. They worry about everything about you，from the time you
were born. They do a lot for you，though something would make you angry，
because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your
choice of friends，the food you eat，your work at school，how much sleep you
get ， etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up
healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It's easier than you think.
Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your
friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don't call every
hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you
make mistakes. Take responsibility(责任) for what you have done. Talk about
your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all，try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They
are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. Someday，
when you become a parent，they may be able to help you how to get on with
your children.
1. The writer thinks we should _____ if we go back home later than usual.
A. tell our friends B. tell the teacher
C. say sorry to our parents

A. it's wrong of parents to worry about their children too much
B. some parents are unfriendly, which makes their children angry
C. children should do everything as their parents say
D. parents love their children very much and the children should
understand them
3. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Parents' Responsibility
B. How to Get on with Parents?

D. What Are Parents Worrying about?
参考答案

2. D 作者的观点：父母正因为爱孩子们，才会如此关心他们，因此
孩子们要理解父母。
