electronic journals. Anyone with a personal computer, a modern and the

software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on. An estimated

five million scientists have done so with more joining every day, most

of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic

and foreign routes known collectively as the Internet, or net.

E-mail is starting to edge out the fax, the telephone, overnight mail,

and of course, land mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific

collaborators, in part because it is conveniently asynchronous (writers can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting). If it is not yet speeding discoveries, it is certainly accelerating communication.

Jeremy Bernstei, the physicist and science writer, once called E-mail the physicist’s umbilical cord (生命线). Lately other people, too, have been discovering its connective virtues. Physicists are using it; college students are using it, everybody is using it, and as a sign that it has come of age, the New Yorker has celebrated its liberating presence with a cartoon―an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard, saying happily,  “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.”

69．The reasons given below about the popularity of E ? mail can be found in the passage except           .

       A．direct and convenient                           B．time ? saving in delivery

       C．money ? saving                                   D．available around the clock

70．How is the Internet or net explained in the passage? _____

      A．Electronic routes used to fax or correspond overnight.

      B．Electronic routes used to read home and international journals.

      C．Electronic routes waiting for correspondence while one is sleeping.

      D．Electronic routes connected among millions of users, home and abroad.

71. Which statement is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in the third paragraph?_____

       A．It shrinks time for communication and accelerates discoveries

       B．Although it does not speed up correspondence, it helps make discoveries.

       C．It quickens communication even if it does not accelerate discoveries.

       D．The quick speed of correspondence may have ill ? effects on discoveries.

72．What will happen to fax, land mail, overnight mail, etc. according to the writer? _____

       A．They will co-exist with E-mail for a long time.

       B．Fewer and fewer people will use them.

       C．Their functions cannot be replaced by E-mail.

       D．They will play an additional function to E ? mail.

In America, drivers’ education is part of regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead, it is a summer course.

The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license.

Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.

Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.

After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.

73．In America, the driver’s course mentioned above __________.

A．is considered as part of the advanced education

B．is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license

C．is carried on at the same time as other courses

D．is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools

74．We can infer that the students are required to __________ in their whole driving practice.

A．go out driving for twelve times         

B．spend at least six hours driving

C．drive for two-hour blocks of time       

D．get half an hour driving

75．In the last sentence,the underlined phrase “with flying colors”means _________.

A．happily             B．successfully       C．colorfully         D．quickly

第二节．    读写任务(满分25分)

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Learning to study is not difficult. The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn't mean that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to learn whatever is necessary. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later. Knowing mathematical facts will be useful in your whole life. Knowing how to spell words makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be attractive when you begin to work on it. Learning things can be fun if you can try your best.

Here's some advice for you. Have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions. Have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books. Be sure you understand what you should learn before you start. Read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things. When memorizing, find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing. Check your homework after you finish it. Never forget the importance of review and preview.
