Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time． Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about．I know this from personal experience．

Email makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and

evenings ．My working hours aren't necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office．This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool．

The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends．Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps ．If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story．

With Email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends who you think might be interested in．They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to．They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience．

Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away．More than a few parents use Email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college． We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch ．They don't take the place of any of the old ways．

56．The purpose of this passage is to__________.

A ．explain how to use the Internet

B ．describe the writer's joy of keeping up with the latest technology

C ．tell the merits (优点) and usefulness of the Internet

D ．introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet

57．The use of Email has made it possible for the writer to_________.

A ．spend less time working

B ．have more free time with his child

C ．work at home on weekends

D ．work at a speed comfortable to him

58．According to the writer, Email has an obvious advantage over the telephone in that the former helps one ________．

A ．reach a group of people at one time conveniently

B ．keep one's communication as personal as possible

C ．pass on much more information than the latter

D ．get in touch with one's friends faster than the latter

59．The best title for this passage is________．

A ．Computer ——New Technological Advances

B ．Internet ——New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship

C ．Computers Have Made Life Easier

D ．Internet ——a Convenient Tool for Communication

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!

Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them．To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments．

In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes．The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer．Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods．Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them．

For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way mirror in a laboratory setting．The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't．Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't than if they had just guessed．

Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at．If and see for themselves．

60．The purpose of the two experiments is to________．

A ．explain when people can have a sixth sense

B ．show how people act while being watched in the lab

C ．study whether humans can sense when they are stared at

D ．prove why humans have a sixth sense

61．In the first experiment, the subjects ________．

A ．were not told that they would be stared at

B ．lost their sense when they were stared at

C ．were not sure when they would be stared at

D ．were uncomfortable when they were stared at

62．．

A ．value

C ．performance B ．result D ．connection

63．What can be learned from the passage?

A ．People are born with a sixth sense．

B ．The experiments support parapsychologists' idea．

C ．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments．

D ．People have a sixth sense in public places．

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年) ．But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents．The door to his room is always shut．Joanns noted．

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter．She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk, said Mark．Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something ．Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady．The problem is figuring out which time is which．

“Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds．In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers．“This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained．“They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last．”

Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them ．To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their

children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them．And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young．Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them．

64．The door to his room is always shut suggests that the son ________．

A ．is always busy with his studies

B ．doesn't want to be disturbed

C ．keeps himself away from his parents

D ．begins to dislike his parents

65．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that________．

A ．their daughter isn't as lovely as before

B ．they can't read their daughter's mind exactly

C ．they don't know what to say to their daughter

D ．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

66．Which of the following best explains the wall of silence in the last paragraph?

A ．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends．

B ．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents．

C ．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents．

D ．Teenagers talk little about their own lives．

67．What can be learned from the passage?

A ．Parents are unhappy with their growing children．

B ．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers．

C ．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers．

D ．Parents should try to understand their teenagers．

Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune,

largely to the cause of global health, during the course of his lifetime．With an estimated (估计) worth of more than $ 40 billion, according to Forbes, the project will be no small feat (功绩) for

Gates ．Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except a few percent left for the kids．

So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest? Gates believes that the equality of opportunity in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world．Improving the health of the populations, he says, has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful．“National borders a llow inequalities,” said Gates．“We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well．We have to step up these health issues, knowing how few resources are going into them．”

Gates said that both his parents set an example for him as a child．His father, William H．Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way ．As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well, but he didn't expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60．

However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long．“It seemed there was a real time urgency,” Gates said．“I started to think, „How many lives could I save before then?‟”

68．Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to________．

A ．improve the health of population in his country

B ．improve the health of population all over the world

C ．avoid leaving his children too much money

D ．spare the American government the burden of health care

69．Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is ________．

A ．to set up more foundations for them

B ．to aid them with natural resources

C ．to put more effort into the health issues in them

D ．to help them take a more global view

70．It can be learned from the text that Bill Gates thinks ________．

A ．Americans should care about people in other countries

B ．Americans should treat fellow citizens well

C ．Americans should devote themselves to certain projects

D ．Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune

71．Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of________．

A ．his weakening health condition

B ．his parents' suggestions

C ．his great success in business

D ．his concerns for suffering people

BRITAIN is a popular tourist place．But tours of the country have pros and cons．

Good news

Free museums．No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities．

Pop music．Britain is the only country to rival (与…匹配)the US on this score．

Black cabs．London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night．

Choice of food．Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants．

Fashion ．Not only do fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too．

Bad news

Poor service．It's part of the image of the place．People can dine out on the rudeness they have experienced, says Professor Tony Seaton of Luton University's International Tourism Research

Center ．

Poor public transport．Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the over crowded London tube is inexplicably (不可解的) popular．

Lack of languages．Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very far, even in the tourist traps (圈套) ．

Rain ．Still in the number one complaint．

No air-conditioning．So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours． Overpriced hotels．The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark． Licensing hours．Alcohol (酒) is in short supply after 11 p．m ．even in 24-hour cities．

72．What do tourists complain about most?

A ．Poor service．

C ．Rain ． B ．Poor public transport． D ．Overpriced hotels．

73．What do we learn about pop music in Britain and the US from the passage?

A ．Pop music in Britain is better than that in the US．

B ．Pop music in Britain is as good as that in the US．

C ．Pop music in Britain is worse than that in the US．

D ．Pop music in Britain is quite different from that in the US．

Looking forward to your immediate visit.
