Is your schoolbag too heavy to bear? The e-schoolbag will free you from the weight．

    It is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in Chinese middle schools soon．An experiment with several hundred e-schoolbags will begin in seven cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang．And the e-schoolbags are going to cover all over China if the experiment shows to be successful．In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-notebook．It is a small hand-held computers for school students．

Heavy schoolbags have long been a serious problem for school students．The average schoolbag of middle school students weighs up to 5 kilos．But the e-schoolbag will change everything．It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag, weighing under 1 kilo．Also, it is no bigger than a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such as a textbook, a notebook and exercise book．They could be made into chips that are as small as a stamp．The students can read the text page by page on the screen．They can still take notes using a special electronic pen．If they want to know the meaning or the pronunciation of a new word, or even e-mail their teachers, it’s just a press of a button．

In some foreign countries, it is becoming common．But it is hard to tell when people will receive this new form of study．Some say that e-textbooks can easily be broken, some say that it is not good to students’ eyesight to look at the screen for long．But only time will tell．

69.The e-schoolbag has many functions EXCEPT ________．

A．It can pronounce the words．                 B．It can send e-mails．

C．It can be used as a dictionary．               D．It can phone somebody．

70．According to the passage, the e-schoolbags ??????________．

A．are not heavy as before but still large 

B．are used as an experiment in Tianjin

C．are made of metal                  

D．are going to cover China if it shows to be successful

71.Which of the following statement is TRUE?

A．All the students in China will use this new schoolbag．

B．We can do a lot of work based on the programmes of the chips．

C．The e-notebooks are very perfect．

D．We will not make notes because the e-notebook can make all by itself．

第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21～30各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.

I must    21     at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（学话者）, many of    22     are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be    23    ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.

As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far    24    of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting    25     six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often,    26     giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she    27     me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.

We all have company manners. If you were to    28     a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in — not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is    29     listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very    30     they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners — and of course they ought to be better — they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.

21.  A. admit              B. accept                   C. refuse            D. deny

22.  A. them                B. who                         C. whom           D. us

23    A. useful               B. important                 C. useless              D. helpful

24.  A. side                 B. end                          C. distance             D. length

25.   A. within               B. at                                C. from                 D. by

26.   A. other than         B. except for                 C. apart form      D. instead of

27.   A. excuses             B. suspects                    C. thinks            D. accuses

28.  A. call at                     B. drop by                    C. drop in              D. call on

29.   A. nobody else       B. nobody                    C. someone else     D. someone

30.   A. strangely           B. politely                    C. differently      D. calmly

 Turandot is the story of a ＿＿ Chinese princess named Turandot.
