Read the following four passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．

　　I've always known that my son uses his cellphone a lot, but his cellphone bill last month really got my attention, He had received nearly 2, 000 text messages(短信), and had sent nearly as many．Of course, he was out of school for the summer, and communicating more with friends who were far away．However, I had to wonder how he found time to keep a summer job and complete a summer course in between all that typing with his thumb．

　　I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal．Teenagers with cellphones send and receive an average of 2.272 text messages a month, Nielsen Mobile says, author of a book called The Dumbest Geheraiion：How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes(危害)Our Future

　　Some experts say that all that text messaging is making our children stupid, and unable to read nonverbal cues(非语言暗示)such as facial expressions, gestures, postures and other silent signals of mood and attitude．“Unlike telephoning, text messaging doesn^'t even allow tones or pauses to be sent to others,” says Mark Bauerlein

　　Beyond that, though, I^'m not sure I see as much harm as critics of the trend do．I^’ve written before on how I initially tried to control my sons texting．But over time, I^’ve seen that my son suffers no apparent bad effects, and that he gains a big benefit of easy and continuing contact with many friends．Also, the time he spends texting replaces the hours teenagers used to spend on the phone; he dislikes talking on the phone, and says he really doesn't need to do so to stay in touch．

　　I don't think texting makes children stupid．It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you．And it may distract them from math problems or what they have to do for school．

　　I don^'t see that texting harms the ability of teenagers to communicate, either．My son is as good at interpreting nonverbal cues as any of the older members of our family．If anything, I’ve found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a distance, since he's constantly available through texting, and responds with faithfulness and speed that any mother would find reassuring(安心的)．

(1)

What did the author think of her son sending and receiving so many text messages last month at first?
[　　]
A．	She was surprised at how he managed it．
B．	She was surprised, but thought it beneficial．
C．	She thought it was normal for teenagers．

(2)

Which of the following may Mark Bauerlein encourage children to use more?
[　　]
A．	Text messaging,
B．	Net chatting．
C．	Telephoning．
D．	Letter writing．

(3)

[　　]
A．	It didn't harm her son's ability to communicate．
B．	It didn't make her son stupid．
C．	Her son didn't spend much time on the phone．
D．	Her son didn't seem to suffer any bad effects from it．

B．	She often uses text messages to keep in touch with her son．
C．	She will do something to limit her son's cellphone use．
D．	She will try to find out how text messaging makes children stupid．

     A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and
myself. For a   1  , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it   2 from my hand and
crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   3 everywhere. I tried to use a broom,   4 with each swipe
they just rolled across the kitchen．
     For the next week, every time I was in the   5  , I found a pea-in a corner, or behind a table leg. They
kept   6  . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and   7   12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
     At the time I found those few remaining   8  , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful   9   I'd met
in a support group. After we married, I was reminded   10 those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   11 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered(破碎). My wife had died; I was in a
new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   13 his new surroundings and the   12 of his
mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．
     When life gets you   14  , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you'll never
   15 , remember that it's just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be  16 , and life will move on. You'll find all the peas   17  , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you've got them   18
you'll start to feel whole again．
     The life you know can break apart at any time. But you'll have to   19 , and how fast you collect your
peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,   20 will you pick them up
one by one and put your life back together?

　　Most of us used to seasons．Each year, spring follows winter,which follows autumn, which follows summer,which follows spring．

　　And winter is colder than summer．But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience．

　　Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now．During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling．Ice melted during the warm,periods．which made seal levels rise．Water froze again during the cold periods．

　　A new study from Switzerland sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age．

　　It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather也all just in either northern or southern areas．This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern．

　　Scientists have long assumed(认为)that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere(半球)during the 30,000-year-long ice age．That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean．It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land．If surrounded．by sea,the ice Call easily just slip to the ocean instead of building up．

　　The researchers used a computer model to look at the ways the ice could melt And how it might affect sea levels．They compared these results to evidence(迹象)of how temperature and currents actually changed during that time．

　　The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would be a bigger effect on ocean currents(洋流)and sea temperatures than what actually happened, Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too．

　　The only reasonable conclusion．the scientists could make．was that the ice melted equally in the North and the South．

　　It is still mystery(谜)as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt．

(1)

We can learn from the text that ________．
[　　]
A．	We have experienced temperature cycles since they began
B．	what caused the ice to melt is still unknown
C．	the planet was much colder than it is now between 65, 000 and 35, 000 years ago．during which time temperature hardly change

　　In our life, we face situations where we are either asked to choose between trust and disbelief．Many of us would say we have to choose trust over disbelief．Actually we are given intellectual(智力的)power to choose what we want, and what we choose certainly need not be the one that sounds pleasing．That is, we can choose both trust and disbelief, but we have to know when to choose between these two．

　　We should all realize that we are living in a world which is unfortunately mixed with people of various types．We have been given the power of judging who we are working with and who we are partnering with．We cannot give an excuse for believing a scheming(诡计多端的)person, just because he looked or sounded nice, unless we consider ourselves mentally unskillful．

　　This world was there before us and it does not owe us a single thing．We are asked to take care of ourselves and our belongings．Trust, too, has to be saved for the deserving(值得的)people．When we give trust universally to all, we end up troubled by the undeserving common cheat．People say trust is life．True!But only wisely exercised trust is life．

　　When we start a conversation with someone, the first things that we usually notice would be their dress, behavior, style and their language．What sometimes we all forget to look at is the person's intention．Now how to look at a person's intention is a lesson everybody has to learn for themselves in their own way－there is no single standard for it．But it is certainly possible to discover the purpose if we seek a little bit more．

　　Certainly a false offer of friendship or guidance cannot stand undiscovered for long; we are therefore called to exercise disbelief over trust at least momentarily till we find out that we certainly are in agreement with a mutual(相互的)good-willed person．

　　The world teaches you lots of lessons and if we are willing, we can learn all that we want．

(1)

In the first paragraph, the author ________．
[　　]
A．	concentrates on the reason why we make different choices
B．	focuses on how to choose between trust and disbelief
C．	suggests that trust should be wisely exercised
D．	implies that people are forced to make the choice

(2)

We can infer from the passage that ________．
[　　]
A．	people who we are working with are in fact those who we are partnering with
B．	the first thing we notice tends to mislead our judgment
C．	the mentally healthy people will not judge a person by his looks
D．	the standards of looking at a person's intention are not various

(3)

The underlined sentence means ________．
[　　]
A．	trust and disbelief go hand in hand with each other
B．	disbelief is necessary if you aren't wise
C．	trust is established if two people know each other
D．	doubt may serve as the precondition for trust

(4)

Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
[　　]
A．	Trust or Disbelief?
B．	Trust Is Life．
C．	Trust over Disbelief?
D．	Disbelief over Trust?
