A
My name is Hua Fei and I am a sporting robot of
the 23rd century. I am an expert at high flying exercises. I jump
from spaceships and as I fall I turn, dive circle and dance until I softly land
as close as I can to the finishing line. Robot competitions in the 23rd
century are truly a popular sport. Fans from all over
This year I had the honour to be chosen again. I wanted to meet robots from other countries and explore ideas about sport. However, my programmer fell ill the week before we were going to leave. It was very painful for her and I felt very frightened. I no longer felt so confident that I would win. The day of the competition was rather cold for my legs and my special oil began to freeze. I paused before I jumped from the starting place on a little spaceship but then I began my performance. At the correct moment I tried to open my parachute but there was a problem. It only opened a little. Instead of flying softly to earth I began to fall faster and faster so that I could not turn, dive, circle or dance. My heart stopped beating as I landed heavily on a mountain covered with snow.
This is why I am writing to you from my hospital bed with two broken legs and a fragile (易碎的) head. I did not win anything at the Olympics after all. I need the factory to build me two new legs and an even bigger head. Then I will be able to compete once more. Let’s hope for greater success in the next Olympics!

A．an experienced expert B．a computer system
C．a flying spaceship D．a sporting robot

58．The reason why Hua Fei failed to perform well this year is that .
A．he didn’t do it in the right way B．he couldn’t open his parachute
C．he didn’t replace the batteries D．he was affected by a wrong programme

A．being treated in a hospital B．being repaired in a factory
C．being trained for the next Olympics D．being taught to do high flying exercises

Phyllis Lee of
Lee, 46, spent the next 12 months teaching Alex and still helps him when necessary. She not only taught him the formation of the Chinese words but also their origin so that he could understand better, often taking more than an hour to read a simple paragraph. Visits to the library and surfing the Internet kept her up to speed on teaching materials. Alex’s grades improved and by the end of Year One, he had become one of the top students in Chinese in his class.
Alex is keeping an A ? plus average in all subjects, and his mother’s involvement is a big reason behind it. Alex, now 11, recently wrote a book recording his struggles with Chinese, which an international education center has published to inspire its students. He sometimes writes for local student magazines as well.
Lee has always had input into the education of Alex. She reads to him “all the time.” As a result, he is an eager reader who regularly visit the library.
To Lee, one of the most valuable things she does is to take turns with her husband to drive Alex to school. “We’d talk along the way. Talking enables me to have a better understanding of my child and reminds me of changes every now and then so that I know when to get involved, she says.”
60．Alex arrived home with tears because .
A．he failed in the Chinese exam B．his teacher punished him
C．he didn’t want to learn Chinese D．his classmates did him wrong
61．Alex succeeded in learning Chinese with .
A．his teacher’s guide B．his classmates’ help
C．his father’s influence D．his mother’s instruction

In the States, we have a tradition around Christmas similar to giving mooncakes, only we call them fruitcakes. Fruitcakes are made from terrible preserved (加工过的) fruit and nobody likes to eat them. You often find your friends giving the fruitcake you gave them to someone else, and so on. But fruitcakes aside, it isn’t very often to catch someone regifting something in America, as it’s seen to be very cheap and embarrassing (尴尬的). An obvious way to tell if something has been regifted is to check the wrapping (包装).
However, many of my friends in

The Internet is now a central part of everyday life. The number of Internet hours in the West is increasing each month, but online addiction is still not attracting a great deal of attention.
Perhaps one reason Internet addiction has not taken off in the West is that there are too many other vices (不良事物) available. In a society relatively open to sex, gambling, alcohol and drugs, computer games are not always appealing to young people. In fact, there is almost a shame attached to playing online games. Many consider it an “uncool” thing to do. They would rather spend their free time meeting friends.
But this is not to say that people don’t do it. One website, wowdetox.com, still offers support to recovering “addicts”. One user posted on the website: “I would play all night and spend all day sleeping. I just quit a month ago. Best decision ever.” This is just one example from around 1,660 pages of confessions (坦言). Still, computer game addiction is not officially recognized in the West. Just last years, the American Medical Association refused calls to have computer game addiction classified (分类) as a disease, saying that, “Nothing suggests it is a complex disease similar to alcoholism.”
Online gaming is more personal in the West. It is rare for people to visit Internet cafes or play with friends at home. After all, the majority of households have their own fast Internet connection. This removes the social joy with friends. And this choice of playing alone is not very appealing to many people.
72．Why hasn’t Internet addiction become a big problem in the West?
A．Surfing the Internet is not convenient.
B．People have other choices for fun.
C．The government has taken proper measures.
D．People are too busy with their work.
73．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A．become popular quickly B．left some place
C．got one’s clothes off D．taken something away
74．According to the passage, which of the following
is TRUE in the
A．Personal playing online is attractive.
B．Computer game addiction is officially recognized.
C．It is a shame to play too much online games.
D．Online game addition is considered similar to alcoholism.
75．We can learn from this passage that .
A．surfing the Internet is not so attractive in the west
B．many other things interest western people
C．the Internet is a central part of everyday life
D．online games are getting more attractive in the west

W : I’m afraid it is sold out. Maybe you can come some other day.
Text 3
M : So you went to the concert last night?
W : Yes. It was so crowded but really exciting. Jay Chow always sings so well, you know.
Text 4
W : You must not stay out late at night nor can you ask friends to dinner in the house. You can not make aloud noise or dirty the walls. And you must pay me at the beginning of the month.
M : OK. No problem. That’s a deal.
Text 5
W : Hurry up, Jimmy. It’s ten to six already. There’s only 20 minutes left.
M : No hurry, Mum. I think you made a mistake. Actually, we’ve got plenty of time. There is still an hour before our flight takes off.
Text 6
W : Robert, you play the guitar, don’t you?
M : I used to. But I haven’t played it for quite some time. I don’t really have time these days. Why do you ask?
W : I’m trying to organize a group to play at some parties on weekends. We still need a guitar player.
M : Well, I don’t know. But your idea sounds fun to me.
W : Oh, it will be . I’m more or less in charge of things, so if you want go give it a try, you’re in. It’s as easy as that. Besides, it’s a great chance to get out and meet people.
M : But I told you I haven’t practiced for a long time. I don’t know if I remember any songs I used to play.
W : Don’t worry about it. I just thought I’d ask you to try and join us sometimes when we are practicing. We’ll practicing for a few months before we give performances.
M : OK, I’ll have a try.

M : Well, Jenny, the school year is almost over. We just have two more weeks before exams. What do you plan to do this summer?
W : I’m going to teach some foreigners English.
M : That’s interesting. Do you have to speak a foreign language for a part ? time job like that?
W : No, I don’t. I just have to present the English language simply and give the students a chance to practise speaking.
M : Come to think of it, that’s the way I was taught to speak Chinese. But speaking Chinese didn’t help me learn to read and write Chinese.
W : My students don’t want to read and write English, at least not now. They are more interested in speaking.
M : You seem to be familiar with all this. How do you know so much?
W : I’ve talked with the experienced teachers quite a lot. I think I would like to be an Englsih teacher when I graduate.

M : Hi, Anna! This is your telephone bill.
W : Thank you, Jack. Wow, it’s so high!
M : Well, you could use
e ? mail to keep in touch with your family and friends back in
W : I know, I know… but to tell the truth, I’d rather talk to them on the phone. It’s more personal that way.
M : But seriously, Anna, there are lots of other things you can do with a computer besides word processing and e ? mail.
W : Like what?
M : Well, first of all, there’s the Internet, of course.
W : Yes, I know, you seem to be online all the time.
M : That’s right. I use the Internet to get information about things I’m interested in and to talk with people all over the world about music. It’s very convenient.
W : It sounds good. Well, thanks for telling me all this, Jack.

W : Mr. Clarkson. I wonder if you could tell me something about yourself.
M : Yes, err, well, I took a degree in chemistry at first but I didn’t want to stay in that field so later I took a master’s degree in marketing.
W : I see. And since then you’ve been working for a design company?
M : That’s right. I’ve been with Proton Designs for three years. Now, I think it’s time to move on.
W : Could you tell me a bit more about that?
M : Well, it’s been a very interesting job and I’ve learnt a lot. But it’s a very small company and I’m looking for more challenges.
W : And you think we can offer you that?
M : I hope so. Certainly the job ? international marketing manager ? seems to be what I’m looking for. And I can speak Spanish and French.
W : Yes, that could be useful to us. Do you think you have enough experience for this position? After all, you have only three years’ marketing behind you.
M : I know that doesn’t seem like much, but I’m playing a leading role in the company.
W : That’s great. Now perhaps I’ll tell you a bit more about the person we are looking for and you can see how you might fit in.

A foreign student was studying in an English ? speaking country. She was reading a book by
the window when she heard someone shout “Look out!” She put her head out to see what was going on. Just then a board came flying down from above, missing her head by just a few feet. She pulled her head in quickly. Then out of anger, she carefully put her head out again and looked up. There was a man doing repairs.
“Didn’t you hear me shout took out?” he asked.
“Yes, that’s what I did,” she answered angrily.
This story shows that idioms are an important part of a language. But they can be a problem for a foreign student. Often it is impossible to get the meaning from the words themselves. In this story, the young woman did look out, but “Look out!” as a set phrase has a different meaning. It means “Be careful!” When shouted, it is a cry of warning, meaning “Danger!”
A beginner is often at a loss when he meets many of the idioms for the first time. What does a particular idiom mean? In order to get its meaning, he should look it up in a dictionary. When he first uses such idioms, he is sure to run into a lot of trouble. But he shouldn’t give up trying.
