     Hightech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still
prefer lowtech ways of doing things. Here's an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a
frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won't taste as good as the one you cook on the stove. And if you're in that much of a hurry, you probably won't take time to toast the bun.  Hightech cooking saves
time, but it doesn't make bettertasting meals.
     Most people get their news from hightech sources like television or the Internet. This has many
advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and magazines
have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.
     Other hightech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For example, most people use the phone or
email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the
Internet or the phone, you don't always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you
forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you wordprocess a homework
assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headins.  
However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the
actual words they are writing.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer likes hightech cooking.
B. Lowtech cooking produces bettertasting meals.
C. Hightech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you.
D. Handwritten homework is better than wordprocessed homework
2. How does the writer feel about hightech tool?
A. Better late than never.
B. Easy come, easy go.
C. Every coin has two sides.
D. Learn to walk before you run
3. What is the main subject discussed in the text?
A. Hightech vs lowtech.
B. Advantages vs disadvantages.
C. Newspapers and magazines vs television and the Internet.
D. Wordprocessing vs handwriting.
4. How is the text organized? 
A. Main idea-Argument-Explanation.
B. Opinion-Discussion-Description.
C. Topic-Comparison-Supporting examples.
D. Introduction-Supporting examples-Discussion

A question of good manners

  The English are proud of their well-mannered and courteous(有礼貌的) behaviors.After living in London for many years, I have found the answer to how they became that way.

  I remember clearly, when I was at primary school, I was taught good manners before anything else!

  “Please”and“Thank you”were the most common words in the manners class.There was even a reward(奖励)system where the politest child would receive a badge(奖章)every week for being nice to the rest of the class.

  As I grew older, I was given“physical and social health”lessons.These were used to teach teenagers how to behave in the adult world.They taught us how to deal with issues(问题)like money, responsibility(责任),and relationships with other people.This helped us to grow into better people.In a way, the lessons taught us how to be more polite.

  One of the topics that came up in these lessons was the issue of the“dreaded”(可怕的)opposite sex.I remember how all the boys giggled(咯咯笑)and laughed at the very thought of having a girlfriend or even speaking to one.The teachers soon taught us(boys)to respect the girls in our class and treat them with dignity(尊严).No doubt this advice helped us in later life-it made sure that all the boys were courteous to women.My friends have used this information to help their social lives successfully.

  I feel that being good mannered has become a part of English culture.Their good manners even attract tourists from all around the world!Many of them flock(大量涌入)to see the Queen’s Guards at Buckingham Palace(白金汉宫),who are famous for being polite and professional.

A
What Is a Boy?
Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.
Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy, a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.
He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”
41.The whole passage is in a tone of _________.
A.humor and affection                 B.respect and harmony
C.ambition and expectation             D.confidence and imagination
42.By saying “he has five thumbs on each hand.”, the author means        .
A.he has altogether five fingers               B.he is slow, foolish and clumsy
C.he becomes clever and smart          D.he cuts his hand with a knife
43.According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except _________.
A.ice cream   B.comic books       C.Saturday mornings   D.Sunday schools
44.What does the writer feel about boys?
A.He feels curious about their noise.             B.He is fed up with these creatures.
C.He is amazed by their naughtiness.      D.He feels unsafe staying with them.

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that’s long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing ------ paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.
Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.
Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying from math to social science.
High school teacher Judy Harrel in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan (阿富汗) before.
“We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)”, she said. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”
And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computer,” she said.
But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.
46. What does “run out of ink at the critical moment” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Pens may not write well at the critical moment.
B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.
C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.
D. Pens use ink, while pencils don’t.
47. The high school teacher, Judy Harrell, used the example of her class to show that ______.
A. the Web could take them everywhere
B. the Web taught them a lot
C. the Web is a good tool for information
D. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information
48. The paperless classrooms will benefit ______ most.
A. students            B. teachers             C. trees     D. computers

第一节:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

         When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California.Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school.He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident.After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.

         Today we buried our 20-year-old son.He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night.How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time.If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you.”

         I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him.I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.

         When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings won’t amount to much.

         I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance.Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation.The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died.He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you.Got to go to work.Bye.” He gave me something to treasure forever.

         If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.

1.According to the passage, we know that ____.

         A.Jim kept to himself    B.Jim did very well in his studies
