1、
People today all over the world are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by the release of completely new and often man-made substances（物质） into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.
The whole industrial process, which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological（生态的） balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made complex, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and chemical fertilizers（肥料）cannot restore the balance.
1、The main cause of pollution is .

When I begin to look back on all friends whom I have had, I quickly came to the conclusion that Jerry was the most important and had the greatest effect upon my life. His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that he liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard form TV and radio programs.
But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as “I’m studying now” or “I’ve got some jobs to do for Mum”. When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a “Hi, kid”, but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste had changed. I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his family’s car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn’t understand what was so great about girls and parties.
But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn’t really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I’m over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生） and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn’t worry about feeling of pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all his pain.
Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.
Soon after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn’t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.
Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.
As he didn’t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.
Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.
1、It is _______ since a man being operated felt all the pain

标准答案 ：B
2、Long ago, when the sick man was operated on，he ________.

4、If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ________
felt nothing

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher and he’s going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon still with a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers. But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online ─ many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.
1、When people are online, they talk by ______.
using body language
drawing some strange pictures
making phone calls
making use of an especially short form of English
标准答案 ：D
2、The Internet makes many people in the world ______.
talking at the same time
discover their friends and relatives
pick out good things to buy
find out about some problems in society

3、The sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means that ______.
people should use words properly
people should know what time it is when they are talking
people online have to express themselves in a simple way
people should communicate in a funny way
标准答案 ：C
4、If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.
the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is high
you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong Kong
you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same time

One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. “Could you help me in the library?” she asked. I said, “Send him along.”
Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “Do you have a job for me?” he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, “Is it a kind of a detective（侦探）job?” I answered yes, and then began his work.
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, “Time for rest!” he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.
The next morning, he arrived early, “I want to finish these books,” he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son’s first concern, she said, was leaving the library. “Who will find the lost books?” he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.
Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.
1、Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates?

It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws（爪子）and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend “Bingo”. He never found out the dog’s real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert couldn’t give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate.

Down the entrance hall of the school walk four eighth-grade students. Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.
At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg.
One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. “If a teacher catches you without your egg,” said one student, “she makes you go get it. They are really strict.” The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it’s also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.
Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved in having a child. “It was really hard,” said one student, “You had to think all the time about the egg.”
1、The purpose of the program is to help students grasp the idea of ______.
carrying a basket with an egg
bringing up a baby
laying eggs
studying hard at school

teachers
students
eggs
programs
标准答案 ：C
4、Why should the students in the program spend half an hour each day sitting with an egg and just watching it?
Because it is very boring to have the egg with them at all times
Because the teachers in this program are very strict
Because only in this way can students understand parents in taking care of children
Because if students do not do it, they will fail in the examination.
标准答案 ：C
5、From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.
a program is the only way to educate children
one has to think about a program all the time
only one child grasps the purpose of the program
the program is of help to children’s understanding of parents

China’s former volleyball star Lang Ping has been invited to coach the US women’s national team for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. But China’s sports media said the offer would be difficult to accept. Lang, who is presently coaching a club team in Italy’s professional volleyball league, told sina.com that she was considering the offer by the US Volleyball Association. “Right now I’m still considering their offer but I will answer them soon,” Lang said. “If I don’t take the job, I have to give them enough time to find someone else.”
Lang, 45，won Olympic gold in 1984. She later coached the Chinese women to silver at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the 1998 World Championships. She has also coached at New Mexico University in the United States where her daughter was born and lives.
The reaction in the Chinese media to Lang’s job offer was swift and strong. Many say that if she takes the job it would be a direct challenge to China’s goal of winning the women’s volleyball medal at the Beijing Games. “As an unusual player and a spiritual leader of Chinese volleyball, Lang Ping’s influence over China far exceeds（超越）that of an ordinary player,” says the China Olympic Committee website.
“If Lang stands with the opponents（对手）during women’s volleyball matches, you can be assured that this will be difficult to accept for the new Chinese players, difficult for coach Chen Zhonghe, who was once her assistant, and difficult for all Chinese watching on television,” the site continued.

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher and he’s going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon still with a piece of paper in the mouth.

If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online ─ many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.
1、When people are online, they talk by ______.
using body language
drawing some strange pictures
making phone calls
making use of an especially short form of English
标准答案 ：D

4、If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.

you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong Kong

One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. “Could you help me in the library?” she asked. I said, “Send him along.”
Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “Do you have a job for me?” he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, “Is it a kind of a detective（侦探）job?” I answered yes, and then began his work.
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, “Time for rest!” he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.
The next morning, he arrived early, “I want to finish these books,” he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son’s first concern, she said, was leaving the library. “Who will find the lost books?” he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.
Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.

It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws（爪子）and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend “Bingo”. He never found out the dog’s real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert couldn’t give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate.

Down the entrance hall of the school walk four eighth-grade students. Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.
At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg.
One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. “If a teacher catches you without your egg,” said one student, “she makes you go get it. They are really strict.” The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it’s also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.
Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved in having a child. “It was really hard,” said one student, “You had to think all the time about the egg.”
1、The purpose of the program is to help students grasp the idea of ______.
carrying a basket with an egg
bringing up a baby
laying eggs
studying hard at school

4、Why should the students in the program spend half an hour each day sitting with an egg and just watching it?
Because it is very boring to have the egg with them at all times
Because the teachers in this program are very strict
Because only in this way can students understand parents in taking care of children
Because if students do not do it, they will fail in the examination.
标准答案 ：C
5、From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.

China’s former volleyball star Lang Ping has been invited to coach the US women’s national team for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. But China’s sports media said the offer would be difficult to accept. Lang, who is presently coaching a club team in Italy’s professional volleyball league, told sina.com that she was considering the offer by the US Volleyball Association. “Right now I’m still considering their offer but I will answer them soon,” Lang said. “If I don’t take the job, I have to give them enough time to find someone else.”
Lang, 45，won Olympic gold in 1984. She later coached the Chinese women to silver at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the 1998 World Championships. She has also coached at New Mexico University in the United States where her daughter was born and lives.

“If Lang stands with the opponents（对手）during women’s volleyball matches, you can be assured that this will be difficult to accept for the new Chinese players, difficult for coach Chen Zhonghe, who was once her assistant, and difficult for all Chinese watching on television,” the site continued.
