Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating(交流)．Others do not think that computers will replace（代替）our old ways．
Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers, which will keep many different books in them at the same time．We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved．Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more．
While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy．It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly．Maybe computers won’t change these two habits．

小题1:主要讲述了电脑会在很多方面影响我们的生活。如：我们可以在网上购书和阅读，这样既节省纸张又方便快捷。有人说因此网络阅读将取代我们以前的阅读习惯。但还有人不这样认为，因为纸张看起来更温馨一些。对于购物也是一样，网上虽然可以买到你要的东西，但逛街也自有乐趣。
小题1:答案A和B分述了文章的两个部分的内容，而D只涉及了电脑的一点用途。所以只有C答案概括性强些。
小题2:答案在第二自然段的第三行和其后的文字中。
小题3:答案BCD的文字表述都太绝对了，以偏盖全。
小题4:本题的四个选项都是我们知道的电脑能做的事情，但只有C项是文中提到的。

Rache
l was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets ready to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. Facemail.com.
Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模拟) emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. For example, type in-X, and Rachel blows a kiss.
LifeFX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirl(惠而浦公司) about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Morn can"t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I"m a fan. But Facemail should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you"ve got a Psycho-mail(疯人型电子邮件).
小题1:The pretty woman that appears on the writer"s computer screen was ______.
A. a woman working on the Internet B. his brother"s girlfriend
C not a real person D. the picture of his pen-friend
小题2: The main advantage of Facemail is that ______.
| A．you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you |
| B．you can see the person who sends you the e-mail |
| C．yon can send an e-mail free of charge |
| D．e-mail can be attractive in a more lovely way |
| A．Famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail |
| B．Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting |
| C．Nike website will increase its sales by Jordan |
| D．Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website |
| A．He thinks it needs further improvement. |
| B．He thinks it cool and funny. |
| C．He thinks it a danger to the Internet. |
| D．He thinks people should be careful with Facemail. |
So how to select a suitable university is of great importance. How do you decide on a school when there are thousands of them to pick from? Start by asking yourself questions about your preferences:
What are my strengths?
1.Am I interested in liberal arts or science or business?
2.What kind of learning environment is best for me?
3.Would I be more comfortable in a small school or a large one?
4.Do I want to stay close to home or live far away?
5.Would I prefer to be in a city environment or a small college town?
6.Do I like being with people who are mostly like me or do I want to meet a different group?
Ask friends and older people who are in college about their schools and about other schools they’re familiar with. Talk to one of your teachers and go to college fairs when they visit your town.
Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, ask the schools to send you related materials and visit their websites. When you’ve cut your list down to a manageable number, make arrangements to visit. Try to do this when the schools are having regular classes, so you can get a good idea of what life is really like on campus.
And remember: you’re not the only one making a decision. Schools are picking from a large pool of students. They want to know how excellent you are and what makes you stand out from everyone else. They will look at your school performance, test scores, and so on, so it’s important to devote time and effort to all these things.
小题1: According to the passage, when deciding on a college you need NOT consider ______.
| A．in which aspect you are superior to others |
| B．what kind of people you’d like to meet |
| C．what kind of college environment you like |
| D．whether the college has an exchange-student program |
| A．visit the schools when they have regular classes |
| B．ask the schools to send you related materials |
| C．go to college fairs with your friends |
| D．discuss them with your teachers |
| A．you can’t make the decision all by yourself |
| B．schools are also judging whether you’re qualified for them |
| C．your school grades often play a role in choosing a college |
| D．making a decision all by yourself is really hard |
Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern. England, have shown that animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces--which they think is a sure sign of intelligence.
Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish(区别) 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes(电极) to measure their brain activity, which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years.
"If they can do that with faces, the fact is that they have to have reasonable intelligence, otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering anything else," Kendrick said in an interview.
So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.
Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much ind
ividuality and are frightened of just about everything.
All animals, including humans, once they are frightened don"t tend to show signs of intelligent action," he explained.
In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain, which allows them to distinguish between many different faces that look extremely similar.
"The most important findings of the study is that they are able, both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized, to remember a large number of faces of individuals for a very long time," said Kendrick. "It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans. "
小题1: From the first paragraph we can find that ______.
| A．people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals |
| B．people used to raise sheep in a wrong way |
| C．people don"t consider sheep as clever animals |
| D．people have done a lot of research on sheep |
| A．scientists have learned a lot about sheep"s intelligence |
| B．scientists have learned little about sheep"s intelligence |
| C．scientists can"t do anything more about sheep"s memory |
| D．scientists don"t have to research animals" memory |
| A．sheep are among the weak animals |
| B．it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups |
| C．when sheep eat grass in the fields their minds may be active |
| D．if people feel frightened, they may become more brave |
| A．worrying | B．moving | C．frightening | D．interesting |
Several are now in the process of developing a small tourism industry as their lands are rich in forests and natural scenery and are the home of the giant pandas. Xiangshujia, in particular, is becoming a popular bed and breakfast centre for tourists heading to Wanglang to see the giant pandas. Visitors are also starting to take notice of the Baima people themselves.
As our jeep stopped in the courtyard of a house, we were greeted by the village leader Li Qin and young Baima girls dressed in traditional costumes with white feathers in their hair. As we took our places on wooden benches near an open fire, the girls began to sing traditional songs as they served us.
“The number of tourists is growing,” said Li Qin. “We realize that to attract visitors we have to show our culture by offering more traditional singing and dancing and ensuring our houses are built in the traditional way.”
Relations between the Baima people and the reserve were once tense following the ban on cutting down forests. Villagers had to make a new living. They entered the Wanglang Nature Reserve to collect wild mushrooms and herbs (药草), often at the expense of disturbing the pandas’ habitat. But things greatly improved as villagers started receiving training in how to sell things to tourists.
“Our aim was to deter the villagers, because they often disturbed the pandas’ habitat, and to ensure they could have a long-lasting means of earning a living,” emphasized Chen Youping, director of the Wanglang Nature Reserve. “All the money from the reserve goes back into the community and conservation projects,” said Chen. “We take into consideration first the animals and then tourism.”
小题1:From Paragraph 1 we learn that ________.
| A．the Baima has the longest history among all the minority groups in China |
| B．the Baima people live in most areas of Sichuan and Gansu Provinces |
| C．forests are the main source of firewood for the Baima people |
| D．in order to fight floods, the Baima people are forbidden to cut down forests |
| A．they wanted to look more beautiful |
| B．their leader Li Qin asked them to do so |
| C．it was a way to show their culture to attract visitors |
| D．it was necessary before they sang traditional songs |
| A．The Baima people had a tense relationship with the reserve. |
| B．Villagers had to look for other means of making a living. |
| C．The pandas’ habitat was often disturbed by villagers. |
| D．Villagers stopped selling things to tourists. |
| A．punish | B．stop | C．encourage | D．threaten |
During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city"s reusable waste.
小题1:The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.
| A．Places for Disposing Waste | B．Waste Pollution Dangers |
| C．Ways of Getting Rid of Waste | D．Waste Disposal Problem |
| A．burying it | B．recycling it |
| C．burning it | D．throwing it into rivers |
| A．Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society. |
| B．There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society. |
| C．It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society. |
| D．Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same. |
| A．draw people"s attention to waste management |
| B．warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing |
| C．call on people to take part in recycling programs |
| D．tell people a better way to get rid of the waste |
