the wheels did not grip concrete well, riders could do very few tricks with them. Soon people lost interest
in the sport.
In 1973, though, a new wheel was invented in California. It was made of a plastic called urethane (氨基
甲酸酯). A skateboard with these wheels moved very quickly and it also gripped the concrete well. During
the next few years skateboards were further improved. The urethane was perfected, and because the boards
were shaped better, riders liked them better. These skateboards gave new life to skateboarding.
The streets were not safe for skateboarding, although it was easy to ride on the streets. As a result,
skateboard parks sprang up. The first parks appeared in California and Florida. At first there were only outdoor
parks that had concrete slopes with small curves (曲线). Then more exciting parks appeared which had steep
downward slopes, banked curves, and vertical walls. Today, there are both indoor and outdoor parks.
In most of these parks riders must wear helmets (头盔) as well as knee and elbow pads (护肘). This gear
can prevent a fall from causing serious injury.
Whenever they ride, people should always use this safety equipment, and they should learn how to fall
safely. Many accidents happen during the first week of riding, so it is very important that riders be taught well.
B. The older models were expensive.
C. They were stronger than the older ones.
D. People could do more tricks with them.
B. stick to
C. replace
D. break down
B. too many accidents happened on the streets
C. many streets did not allow skateboarding
D. most city parks did not allow skateboarding
B. The earlier parks had steep slopes.
C. In the parks people don"t have to wear helmets.
D. At first there weren"t any indoor parks.

举一反三
Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you
are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and attaining key information. But do not overdo it.
1______ An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your
first exam, get into the habit of being up and read to work. It can be a shock to the system after months of
working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack everything you need ( pens, pencils, erasers, etc),
then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 2______
Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take
in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading
through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss", "compare"
and "evaluate". 3______ It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to
go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the
one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down
on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners
can get very bored marking stereotypical (模式化的) answers.
4______ If you need something else to focus on to help you collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the
room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other
students. 5______
B. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up the other words you didn"t understand. C. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.
D. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.
E. Go and have a well-earned rest---then prepare the next exam.
F. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people"s anxiety can be contagious (传染性的), and you may suffer
from undue panic.
G. If possible, you can arrive early and communicate with those worried students and help them overcome their
anxiety.
They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They
do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable
seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive (好斗的) because they are big in size.
In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.
Greyhounds can live for 12-14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they
make great pets. They don"t need a lot of space, don"t make a lot of noise, and don"t eat a lot for their size.
Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands
only 33 cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common.
Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.
Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they"re slim (苗条的)
they don"t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since
they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.
B. to let people know more about greyhounds
C. to explain why greyhounds are aggressive
D. to describe greyhounds of different colors
B. like staying in bed all day
C. make the best guard dogs
D. need some exercise outdoors
B. to keep it warm
C. to take special care of its legs
D. to take it to animal doctors regularly
More than 60 million tons of tomatoes are produced per year, 16 million tons more than the second most
popular fruit, the banana. Apples are the third most popular (36 million tons), then oranges (34 million tons)
and watermelons (22 million tons).
Tomatoes were first cultivated in 700 by Aztecs and Incas. People returning from Mexico introduced the
tomato into Europe, where it was first mentioned in 1556.The French called it "the apple of love", the Germans
"the apple of paradise".
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C. Furthermore, new medical research suggests that the consumption
of tomatoes may prevent cancer. And it"s low in cholesterol (胆固醇). An average tomato (148 gram, or 5 oz)
contains only 35 calories (卡路里).
The scientific term for the common tomato is lycopersicon, which means "wolf peach". It is a cousin of
the eggplant, red pepper, ground cherry, potato. There are more than 10,000 varieties of tomatoes.
Tomatoes are used in many food products, including, of course, tomato sauce (ketchup), pasta and pizza.
According to a Steel Packing Council survey of 1997, 68% of chefs use canned tomatoes for convenience,
quality and flavouring. It hasn"t changed much since.

an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native
language was not English. Experts said the goal was admirable (令人敬畏的),but the method would not work.
They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA.
And they still are.
Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But
during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners,
even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.
Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour
broadcast begins with 10 minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is
a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the
weekend, about news events and American idioms.
Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1,500 words. Most are simple
words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that
contain only one idea. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard
English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English
speakers understand complex subjects.
Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it
was not designed as a teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way.
In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for
improving their students" ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs.
Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for
students" use.
B. rejected by native people
C. doubted by some professionals
D. intended for teaching English

a. limited vocabulary
b. short simple sentences
c. good communication method
d. slow speed
e. interesting feature programming
B. a, c, d
C. a, b, d
D. b, d, e
B. Native English speakers don"t go in for Special English much.
C. Special English usually starts with 20 minutes of the latest news.
D. People can learn some idioms from Special English.
B. Listening to Special English can improve the content of the program

your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social
science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who
have good ______.
[2] There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example,
a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than
those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most
suited to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.
[3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are
also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-
level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢迎的)
quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92
percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they
are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.
[4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained
classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don"t regret their choice of study.
