  London has a new magazine. Rut it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.

  In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is a wide choiceeverything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.

  If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an easytoremember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109 so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week's best bargains. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.

  London already has three services. One, transmitted by ITV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.

1.The novelty of the magazine lies in ________.

[  ]

A.its paperlessness

B.its unique viewpoint

C.its simplicity in operation

D.its quickness in transmission

2.We can know from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.the magazine is available at any local newsagent

B.most of the postmen in London will lose their jobs someday

C.the readers can get all kinds of information staying at home

D.everyone can buy this magazine

3.According to the passage, the “decoder” is used to help people ________.

[  ]

A.calculate the sum of certain figures

B.receive some special TV program for entertainment

C.go shopping and have other entertainment

D.read the information transmitted by TV signals

4.The passage is mainly about ________.

[  ]

A.a new magazine printed in London

B.a popular TV program about magazines

C.an advanced technology helping people to communicate

  The competition among producers of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best, most innovative products to the marketplace. Marketers in this environment frequently have to make a judgement as to their competitors' role when making marketing strategy decisions. If major compettors are changing their products, then a marketer may want to follow suit to remain competitive. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Mackintosh Ⅱ and Mackintosh SE, in anticipation of the introduction of a new PC by IBM, one of Apple's major competitors.

  Apple's new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including IBM-compatible (兼容的) programs. This compatibility feature (特性) illustrates (show) computer manufacturers' (producer) new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running. IBM software is Apple's effort at making the Machintosh compatible with IBM computers and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also accessories (附件) to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.

  The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high-price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.

  Even though Apple and IBM are major competitors, both companies realize that their competitor's computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated color graphics (图形), whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies' products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.

1.According to the passage, Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced the Mackintosh Ⅱ and the Mackintosh SE because ________.

[  ]

A.it wants to make its machines specialize in specific uses ________.

B.it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer market

C.it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its example

D.IBM is changing its computer models continuously

2.Apple hopes to increase Mackintosh sales chiefly by ________.

[  ]

A.improving the color graphics of its new models

B.copying the marketing stategies of IBM

C.giving the customers what they want

D.making its new models capable of running IBM software

3.It can be inferred from the passage that both Apple and IBM try to gain a competitive advantage by ________.

[  ]

A.incorporating (合并) features that make their products special

B.making their computers more expensive

C.making their computers run much faster

D.copying each other's technology

4.The best title for the passage would be ________.

[  ]

A.Apple's New Computer Technology

Scientists in Canada say big ocean fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of industrial fishing in the 1950s. The scientists found the populations of large fish like tuna(金枪鱼), swordfish and cod(鳕鱼) have dropped by ninety percent in the past fifty years.
The study took ten years. The researchers gathered records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings.
The scientists say the common method called long line fishing is especially damaging to populations of large fish. This method involves many fishing lines connected to one boat. These wires can be nearly one hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish.
Long line fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. But long line fishing boats now might only catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say industrial fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that whole populations can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years.
Ransom Myers and Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led the study with the University of Kiel in Germany. Worm says the destruction could lead to a complete reorganization of ocean life systems. Meyers says the decreased numbers of large fish are not the only worry. He says even populations that are able to reproduce do not get the chance to live long enough to grow as big as their ancestors. He says not only are there fewer big fish, but also they are smaller than those of the past.
American government scientists say even with the best efforts to protect fish populations, decreases are to be expected.
56. Which one can be the best title for the passage?
A. Discoveries Canadian scientists have made      B. Japan fishing industry
C. Losses of big fish                          D. Modern fishing methods
57. When did the researchers begin to survey the decrease of large fish?
A. in the 1960s      B. in the 1970s       C. in the 1980s              D. in the 1990s
58. The underlined word “sharp” in Para 3 means _________.
A. having a fine edge or point that can cut or make a hole in something
B. sudden or rapid change in something
C. quick to react or to understand things
D. loud, sudden and often high in tone
59. Which of the following statements can show the fact that the populations of large fish have dropped?
A. Today’s “large” fish are smaller than those of the past.
B. Long line fishing boats now might catch ten fish for every one hundred hooks.
C. Fish able to reproduce don’t have the chance to live longer.
D. Long line fishing boats now might catch one fish for every one hundred hooks
60. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A story book      B. A business magazine         C. An environmental report      D. An economic survey
