题目内容

18．A great many people paid attention to the ______ race in the sports meeting to be held next quarter．（　　）

	A．	800-metre-long		B．	800-metres-long
	C．	800 meter length		D．	800 meters length

分析很多人注意下个季度将举行的运动会的800米赛跑．

解答答案：A 800-metre-long是复合形容词，单词之间需要连词符，名词metre应该是单数．选A．如果没有连字符，meter用复数形式，后面还用long，但作定语一般用带有连字符号的形式，所以本题选择A．

点评复合形容词是由不止一个单词组成的形容词，如well-prepared（准备充分的），warm-hearted（热心的）．复合形容词的结构是：词与词之间有连字号．如果有数量词，需要注意单复数．

6．One morning more than thirty years ago，I entered the Track Kitchen，a restaurant where everyone from the humblest（卑微的） to the most powerful came for breakfast．I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly，unshaven man，who looked somewhat disheveled．He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone．I asked if I might join him．He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast．
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide ange of things．We never introduced ourselves．I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat．So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee，I asked，
"May I get you something？"
"A coffee would be nice．"
Then I bought him a cup of coffee，We talked more，andhe accepted another cup of coffee，Finally，I rose to leave，wished him well，and headed for the exit．At the door I met one of my friends．He asked，
"How did you get to know Mr．Galbreath？"
"Who？"
"The man you were sitting with．He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs．"
I could hardly believe it．I was buying，offering a free breakfast，and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr．Galbreath changed my life．Now I try to treat everyone with respect，no matter who I think they are，and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity．

3．Loren Gladstone of Toronto is 58，but thinking over how to bequeath （遗赠） his digital property（财产）．Doing the paperwork after his parents'death was a challenge．"When my time comes，I wonder if my children will even know what paper is，"he says．As a software developer，his virtual property is both valuable and vital to his business．That reflects a problem．Online lives have increasing economic and emotional value．But testamentary （遗嘱） laws offer confusing and incomplete ways of bequeathing and inheriting （继承） them．
Digital property may include software，websites，downloaded content，online gaming identities，social-media accounts and even e-mails．In Britain alone holdings of digital music may be worth over￡9billion （14billion）．AfifthofrespondentstoaChineselocal-newspapersurveysaidtheyhadover5，000yuan（790）of digital property．And value does not lie only in money．"Anyone with kids under 14years old probably has two prints of them and the rest are in online galleries，"says Nathan Lustig of Entrustet，a company that helps people manage digital property．
Service providers have different rules-and few state them clearly in their terms and conditions．Many give users a personal right to use an account，but nobody else，even after death．Facebook allows relatives to close an account or turn it into a memorial page．Gmail （run by Google） will provide copies of e-mails to an executor （遗嘱执行人）．Music downloaded via iTunes is held under a license which can be abolished on death．Apple declined to comment on the record on this or other policies．All e-mail and data on its iCloud service are deleted on the death of the owner．
This has led to cases to court in America．In 2004the family of Justin Ellsworth，an army man killed in Iraq，took Yahoo!to court in Michigan to get copies of his e-mails．This year，a court in Oregon ruled that another American mother whose son had died could use her dead son's password to enter his Facebook account for a short period．Now five American states have made laws giving executors control over the social-networking accounts of dead users．
But this raises the subject of privacy．Passing music on is one thing； not everyone may want their relatives to read their e-mails．Colin Pearson，a London-based lawyer，says access should come only with a clear provision in a will．
But laws，wills and password safes may be contrary to the providers'terms of service，especially when the executor is in one country and the data in another．Headaches for the living and lots of lovely work for lawyers．

40．Why does Loren begin to think over how to bequeath his digital property at the age of 58？B
A．Because he is afraid his children don't know what paper is．
B．Because there's no complete law dealing with digital property．
C．Because his digital property is of great value and importance．
D．Because he is worried his children will be taken to court．
41．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？D
A．Digital property is assessed in terms of nothing except money．
B．No laws in America have been made to deal with digital property．
C．The relatives may read the e-mail of the dead without permission．
D．Lawyers can make money through cases about digital property．
42．Facebook，Google and Apple have a similar rule thatA．
A．users are offered accounts used by nobody else except users themselves
B．relatives of the dead may close an account or use it at their own will
C．the executor may enter the e-mail and read it by themselves at any time
D．the data downloaded by the dead will be copied and then deleted from net
43．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？C
A．Digital Information B．Testamentary Laws

Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17，in 1891．He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in clubs in New York．They called themselves the Houdini Brothers．When Harry married in 1894，he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant．But for a long time they were not very successful．Then Harry performed his first prison escape in Chicago in 1898．Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison，and he invited the local newspapermen to watch．
It was the publicity （宣传） that started Harry Houdini's success．Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs（手铐）and toes trained to escape from ankle chains．But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors．Every time he went into the prison cell，Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key，which is a key that fits many locks．She passed it quickly from her mouth to his．
Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame．He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited．In the afternoon，the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers，and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full．What was the result？Worldwide fame and a name remembered today．
