native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better
choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure
you understand the first one.
Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don"t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted
by another course just because it seems to be more"fashionable".
Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news
stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English
news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as
V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.
B. read fast
C. write better English and read faster
D. speak correctly
B. read again and again the Chinese language newspaper
C. go through the Chinese language newspaper first
D. be able to recite the Chinese language newspaper
B. should begin with the last book
C. should take up other courses if they are more fashionable
D. shouldn"t do anything else

hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect
students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork
anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The
laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with
laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their
teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that
students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a
fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges
and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop
computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries
and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State
officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers
to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and
we"re giving students a window on the world.They can see everything and do everything."
B. access the Internet
C. work at home
D. connect them to libraries
B. 1500 students have laptops.
C. It is an old college in America.
D. Students there can do everything.
B. get information from around the world
C. travel around the world
D. have free laptops
B. The program is not workable.
C. The program is too expensive.
D. We don"t know the result yet.
these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to
get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through
space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.
Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100
light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to "listen" for radio messages from more distant
stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are
looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that 5% are like our sun.
Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star
for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in)
planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support
some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty
years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the
evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn"t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent
life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20
billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than
ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the
signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep
looking.
B. 10 billion.
C. 15 billion.
D. 200 billion
B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B. follow
C. check
D. form
B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
C. Scientists don"t believe that there might be life on other planets.
D. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.
calculating machine to work out the solutions (解法) to maths problems not only with correctness but
also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving
(涉及) long rows of figures in one continuous operation (运算).
In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he
immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he
received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to
the government about his plan and was given ￡2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days
than it is now.
Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take
a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills
remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools.
For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly
thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his
new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they
wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was "No."
From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his
greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the
beginning of the modern computer.
B. in more than one operation without any mistakes
C. in more than one operation with slight mistakes
D. in one operation without any mistakes
B. he almost ran out of money
C. his co-workers argued with him
D. he spent all his money on his bills
B. they would pay for his new idea
C. they would support him with money
D. they would exhibit his new design
B. Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easily
C. Babbage always needed support from the government officials
D. Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer
with him, though you"re not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize
with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form
normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions (有感染力的) yawning, which showed that
humans communicate regularly without words.
Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness
and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant
exchange about how we"re feeling. "Emotions are closely linked with states of internal (内部的) responses,"
he explained. "There are also more visible changes in our gesture and facial expressions. When we"re in a
group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there"re the obvious tendency to smile when
smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a
change in our heart rate and blood pressure."
Hugo Critchley further explained, "Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other Person, we even
copy his behaviour. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you"re sitting-it"s pretty likely that
you will be the same. Scientists believe it"s our way of telling each other that you"re parents. Through body
language, humans give each other very subtle (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions."
So, what lessons can we learn from this? "spend time with happy people-otherwise your health could
suffer," said Critchley. "When we"re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we"re happy, our
body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and
it affects everyone around us."
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily
D. respond accordingly
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
B. Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.

you in making a good study environment for yourself. Take care of these, and you will find that you are doing
better by the day.
1. ( )
Pick a suitably quiet place, not necessarily where you can hear a pin drop, but not where you have people
screaming all around you, either. At the same time, if too much quietness makes you feel lonely, then you may
try playing some soft music in the background.
2.( )
Think of all the related materials that you may require, and gather them beforehand. It"s OK if you end up
not using a few of the books. Get a fruit or some snacks that will keep you comfortably full, without being too
heavy on your tummy. (胃)
Lighting is very important.
You must have a reasonable amount of lighting that will let you read properly, without putting stress on
your eyes, or making them burn and water after a while. 3. ( ) And at night, make sure that you have a light
that shines brightly on the book that you are reading.
Know your limits.
Don"t compare yourself with your friend. Seriously, this is not a competition to see who studies more in a
day. You are you, and you are not your friend. 4. ( ) Stop asking your friend constantly how much he has
finished, or telling him how much you have done.
Study smartly instead of studying hard.
5. ( ) Read important points, and highlight important sentences. Use techniques like mind mapping, logical
linking of points, or short forms to remember long lists. This will increase the speed of your studying, and help
you in getting more done in less time.
B. The effect will be the same.
C. He has his limits, and you have yours.
D. Get all your stuff together before you start.
E. Get a nice and comfortable chair for yourself.
F. Try picking a place by the window during the daytime.
G. Reading through the entire text like it"s a novel is pointless.
