2．The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet，chat and go where we've never been before．
But just as in face to face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line（56）E．Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes．
For anything you're about to send：ask yourself，"Would I say this to the person's face？"If the answer is no，rewrite and reread．（57）G．
If someone in the chat room is rude to you，your instinct （本能） is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so．（58）F．If it was caused by a disagreement with another member，try to fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．

（59）AOffer advice when asked by newcomers，as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate．When someone makes a mistake，whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer，be kind about it．If it's a small mistake，you may not need to say anything．Even if you feel strongly about it，think twice before saying anything．Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else．（60）D．At the same time，if you find you are wrong，be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．

16．New Zealand fishermen caught what may prove to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid．
In the cold，dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms，two super long tentacles（触须）and eyes as big as dinner plates．Sound like something out of a science fiction movie？Think again．
On February 21，New Zealand fishermen landed a colossal squid at the length of a school bus．They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass in the waters off the coast of New Zealand when they caught the rare squid．With two hours of hard work，the crew skillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged it aboard their ship．
Scientists evaluate that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40feet long．That would make this colossal squid the biggest on record．
First identified in 1925after two tentacles were found in a whale's stomach，the colossal squid has long been a mystery．The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6，500feet．What scientists do know from studying the bodies of a half dozen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters．
The recently captured colossal squid has been frozen to keep it for scientific study．It will be transported to New Zealand's national museum，Te Papa，in the capital city of Wellington．Experts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged．Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid's diet，behavior and reproductive patterns．
"Scientists will be very interested in this amazing creature，"said New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderson．"It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment．"

29．Why is it usually difficult for experts to observe the squid？C
A．Because it moves too fast．
B．Because it is too large．
C．Because it can go down to deep ocean．
D．Because it is dangerous．
30．What can be inferred from the passage？A
A．The fishermen had some difficulty catching the large squid．
B．The squid is from a science fiction story．
C．Scientists know much about the colossal squid．
D．The fishermen often meet colossal squids．
31．What have people decided to do with the huge squid？C
A．To make it into food．
B．To set a world record．
C．To do research on it．
D．To display it for visitors．
32．What would be the best title for the passage？B
A．Scientific research on squid
B．The biggest squid ever found
C．The lifestyle of the colossal squid
D．How the fishermen caught the squid．

15．Much new and high technology has been introduced from America，________ great increase in production of the company．（　　）

14．The murderer was brought in，with his hands______ behind his back．（　　）

13．According to figures released（发布）by the Office for National Statistics （ONS），the U．K．has about 7.7million families with dependent children，of which 3.7million have just one child，compared to 3million with two and 1.1million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47percent and will likely rise to more than 50percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，"It appears that families are getting smaller．"
One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile （能生育的）．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers'online forum（论坛）Mumsnet，where one member announced that she"just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab（奇妙的）it is to have an only child"．
She had received 231replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat（愉快的） spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries．
Not all products of single-child families are as keen（热切的）to repeat the experience． In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to"squeeze out （挤出）two sons just 22months apart"as a reaction to her only-child upbringing．
She was placed on a pedestal （当作偶像崇拜）by her doting（溺爱的） parents，whom she punished with a"brattish，wilful"rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered（使非常惊愕）by rejection and refers to her childhood as being"misery"．
Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while other children see the advantages of their situation．
However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．
62．The passage is written with the purpose ofC．
A．illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child
B．analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular
C．presenting us with different opinions about having an only child
D．guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives
63．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4mean？B
A．Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．
B．All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child．
C．Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．
D．People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．
64．From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know thatD．
A．journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood
B．she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's reaction
C．it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle
D．some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions
65．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children．
B．Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．
C．Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．
D．Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．
