题目内容

Dad came in the midnight. We heard every sound, but we pretended to be asleep.
Next morning he looked weak and thin, sitting in a chair by the kitchen fire. The light of the fire shone through his long empty sleeve. Everything went as usual. Grandma found something to do in the bedroom. Grandpa went out for some water. Mother, with her back to us, was getting the cakes ready for breakfast.
But nothing was right. When grandma came out of the bedroom, she walked on tiptoe. When grandpa came back, he said nothing about the weather. At breakfast Mother passed us the fruit and said something, but her voice was too high.
At last my sister, Lou, pushed back her chair. “It’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But I had washed the dishes the night before. I said nothing because it was not right to quarrel in front of Dad just home with the empty sleeve.
“It is your turn,” Lou said again. I looked at her in surprise.
“It is not,” I said because I suddenly remembered Mother had told us to go on as usual.
“Children, children,” Mother said in a quiet, glad kind of voice.
And Dad was smiling because he felt at home at last.

During my second year of college I had to look for another place to live in. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师)   36   me to stay in his daughter’s room because she was studying abroad for one year.
To be honest, I really didn’t want to stay with the pastor’s family.   37   then he old me how much rent would be—a very   38__ figure that included one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about it and    39   to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to make   40   living arrangements, since the daughter was to   41   home. But they suggested I   42   a room with their son. By this time I seemed to have been adopted(收养)into their  43  -- her people became my people. I   44   accepted the offer.
As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be   45   to have a little sister. But when I later met her, I   46   that this idea of looking after her might be more interesting than I first   47   .
We finally fell in love, married, and have been   48   one another for many years. There have been times that life turned out to be   49   than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go   50 _  largely because we knew that somebody deeply cared.

Is there somebody you can   55  ? And is someone counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is someone to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

There are dozens of clubs for me to choose from , such as basketball club or science club . But I love the translation club best . The 30 club members get together once a week . With the help of a volunteer teacher , I’ve learned the general principles of professional translation . It’s the first step to becoming a good translator .

You don’t mean any harm. You’re just trying to have a good time. But do you know how your overseas vacation    21  people in other countries? What’s your dream vacation? New chances are opening up all the time to   22 the world. So we visit travel agents, compare prices and pay our money. We know   23  our vacation costs us.    24  unfortunately, tourism often harms the local people   25  it helps them. For example, in Zanzibar, a British company got 57 sq km of land from the government for tourist sites(旅游胜地). They include 14 luxury hotels, three golf courses , swimming pools and an airport. The local people fear   26   their farmland and fishing rights. And most of the profits(利润) do not help the local people. 27  , profits go for the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Massey people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slum (贫民区),   28  now make a little money by selling small gifts. Removed  from their hunting lands, the Indians have no choice   29 their culture. Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. Now people are working together to correct them. Tourists, too, are  30  the pressure. Though the beginnings are small, the results are    31 . The good news is that everyone, including us, can  32  in helping the local people in the place we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by   33  that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages. They can make it a point to use only locally   34  hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people  35   planning and managing tourism.

Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men—about two-thirds of both genders, yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.
American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.
Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.
“For men, it’s just, ‘give me the facts,’” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys, “For women, its ‘Let’s talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?’ It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”
About two- thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68%of the male respondents, and 66%of the female participants---a statistically insignificant(不重要的)difference given the study’s margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2%points. In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61%vs. 57%.
The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
小题1: According to the passage, which of the following is not what American men who go online do?
A.Checking the weather and the news.B.Searching for religious information.
C.Downloading some music.D.Taking a class.
小题2: What is the probable meaning of the sentence “gaps remain in what each sex does online”?
A.There are some difference between men and women in the US.
B.There is a slight difference between the numbers of men and women online in the US.
C.Men and women in the US have difference tastes about what they do online.
D.Men and women in the US have difference way of surfing the Internet.
小题3:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.A small part of women in the US go on line today.
B.Women in the US going on line are only concerned with personal problems.
C.Men are still more likely to use the Internet than women.
D.The gap between both sexes going online in 2002 was slightly larger than that in 2005.
小题4: What’s the author’s purpose of writing the article?
A.To tell us the different aims of men and women in the US who go online.
B.To show why men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
C.To teach us how to surf the Internet.
D.To offer us some information of both sexes’ going online in the US.
While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.
For Carlos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
"We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."
The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.
FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.
