A small group of people around the world have started implanting(移植) microchips to link the body and the computer.

Mr. Donelson and three friends, who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loekport, New York, to have the implants put in by Dr Jesse Willemaire, whom they had persuaded to do the work, are part of a small group, about 30 people around the world, who have independently put in microchips into their bodies, according to Web-based reports.

At a shop William Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand. “I’m set,” he said with a deep breath. He watched as the needle pierced(刺穿) the fleshy webbing between his thumb and a microchip was set under his skin. At last he would be able to do what he had long imagined; strengthen his body’s powers through technology.

By putting the chip inside—a radio frequency identification device (RFID)—Mr. Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card, and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass. With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer, open doors and unlock his car.

Implanting the chip was relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr. Doneselson, a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks(数据输入插空) inside his body. They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computers. His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words “Technology”.

Some doctors have done the piercing in people’s homes, and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long-term studies have not been done on their safety. Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps, instructing people to keep the site dry, and advising them that swelling(肿) and redness should last a week.

69. With a RFID implanted, which of the following will Mr. Donelson be able to do?

Make a safety gate open with a knock of a card.

Make bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass.

Open doors and unlock his car with a wave of his hand.

Turn his body and brain directly into computers.

70. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to “___________”.

A. glass containers B. implanted computer chips

C. data input jacks D. computer and net working students

71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. High Tech, Under the Skin B. A Needle, So Magic

C. Donelson, a Powerful Man D. Data-input Jacks, Inside the Body

72. We can conclude from the passage that __________________.

Mr. Donelson has made a large sum of money by the piercing.

the Piercers are people working in the computer field

the piercing has no side effect and it will make people intelligent

the long term effects of these implants are not yet known

There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 1 I found that the two paths were different from each other.

The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. 2 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.

3 It wasn’t nice , but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 4

Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.

5 Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!

A. There is nothing that I want to see.

B. It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.

C. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.

D. “ Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.

E. I told them what happened.

F. My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.

G. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.

People say that a mother’s love knows no boundaries (边界). This is true when it comes to my mother. She has given up many things so that my sisters and I could live a better life.

My mother comes from a large family and her parents died when she was quite young. She dropped out of school when she was fifteen because no one could afford to pay her studies. At the age of 19, she married my father and when they had my sisters and I, they moved to the United States so that we could have a better life. My parents did not know English but somehow they communicated with other people. My mother stayed at home and raised us while my father was working. There were so many dangerous incidents that happened where we lived that my mother finally decided that we all moved to Texas when I was seven.

My mother has worked so hard to give us everything. She always tells us that all she wants is for us to be happy.

As the saying goes, “You don’t appreciate (意识到) something until it’s gone.” Well, I finally had a chance to experience it. My mother went to Mexico this winter because she needed to have an operation. It was the first time in my life that my mother was not there to hold and comfort me. Those two weeks when she was away made me realize how much I love her. All she has done for me is incredible (难以置信的). When I suffer she suffers with me. I have to show her how much I care about her. She means the world to me.

Stop Spam

When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?

This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.

For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

1.What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. messages B. ideas C. connections D. programs

2.According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?

A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.

B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.

C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.

D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

3.According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?

A. The business B. The advertiser

C. The employee D. The consumer

4.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To inform B. To educate C. To persuade D. To instruct

Kindergartners will enter school at different levels of writing. ____66____ The basic expectation, however, is that your child should enter kindergarten writing his name, recognizing the letters in his name, understanding that letters make up words, and knowing that spoken words can become written words. Here is a breakdown (分析)of the steps that new writers go through, as they make their journey towards becoming fluent writers:

Draw a story. Children’s classics have one thing in common: pictures and illustrations(插图). ____67____ Pictures help children follow a storyline and improve their comprehension.

Dictation. Dictation means that an adult writes down a child’s story exactly as the child tells it. ____68____ It is a fundamental building block for the young writers.

Sight words. They are a group of commonly used words that are often difficult to decode(解码), or sound out. For that reason, they must be memorized. The kindergarten sight words on the list will most likely be: I, am, see, like, the.

Interactive writing. The teacher leads a group of students as they write a story together. He will call on students to come up to the paper and write each letter as the class sounds out the word. Teachers also use this technique to teach early sight words.

As a parent, you should be ready to help your kid. Encourage your kindergarten kid, as you did with all his other developmental milestones. Give your kid a boost by offering natural opportunities to write. And keep in mind what all of this hard work is leading to! ___70____ The initial foundation is crucial(至关重要的), so don’t rush through it.

A. In other words, he’s beginning to know that letters form the sounds that make up word.
