information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots (点) crossing the
computers" screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out
what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their
horror (恐惧), they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of (除掉)
by computer viruses! Obviously all these computers had been infected (感染) by computer
viruses.
It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young man fond of playing
tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their
intelligence. (才智) These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem (耶路撒冷)
Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they
will attack the computers by lowering the function (功能), damaging their normal programs
or even getting rid of all the information.
We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that
they are spreading (传播) to a list of computers. Among the countries that suffering
computer viruses are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But till now, how to
get rid of the terrible remains a problem.

lions live in big forest and they are called 1 animals. Some others like sheep and
dogs are 2 by men and they are called domestic (驯养) animals. These animals are very
different from one another, but we can 3 them into big groups: those that eat other
animals and those that eat grass and leaves. Animals like the 4 belong to the first
group. Animals like cows, elephants and horses belong to the second group.
Animals are 5 great use to human beings. Men 6 wild animals for their fur and

| Why don"t birds get lost on their long migratory (迁居的) flights? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they"re beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial (人 造的) stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. One such bird-a warbler (鸣禽)-had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird"s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the direction of the make-be-live stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation (导航). What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it"s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their direction. | |||

| Animals like the lion are known as carnivorous (meat-eating) animals. They feed on smaller animals. But many other animals eat grass or plants. They are called herbivorous (plant-eating) animals. You may be surprised to learn that there are carnivorous plants as well as carnivorous animals. Plants that grow in poor soil need other food. They trap (catch by a trick) small insects (昆虫) and take their bodies as food. The pitcher plant (猪笼草) is a common carnivorous plant. This plant has a clever trap like a pitcher or jar. It even has a lid to keep out of the rain. The mouth of the pitcher is covered with something sweet like honeydew (蜜露). Insects come to the plant to feed on the honeydew. When they have eaten all that is round the mouth, they go into the pitcher to look for more. There is more honeydew deep in the pitcher and they go down to feed on it. The inner (里面的) wall of the pitcher is covered with fine hairs. These hairs point downwards so that the insects cannot climb out of the pitcher. They are trapped in it. They die there, and their bodies are taken as food by the plant. | |||

| [ ] | |||
| A. carnivorous animals and meat-eating animals B. herbivorous animals and plant-eating animals C. carnivorous animals and herbivorous animals D. meat animals and plant animals | |||

| [ ] | |||
| A. Tigers, lions and other meat-eating animals are called carnivorous animals. B. Zebras, elephants and common farm animals are known as herbivorous animals. C. All plants get food only from the soil. D. It is something like honeydew in the pitcher that insects come to food on. | |||
| 4. From this passage, we can mainly learn that _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. Not all plants are carnivorous B. All plants are herbivorous C. Not all animals are carnivorous D. Carnivorous plants can also be found | |||

| The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved, but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury. Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of the iPhone 3G"s high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time. That"s great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of AT&T (美国电话电报公司) (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. That"s not so great in cities like New York where AT&T"s cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It"s just a toy. You can"t make phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time." The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You"ll find tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you"ll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location- provided by the iPhone 3G"s GPS chip-to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network. | |||
| 1. The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. It looks and feels better B. It has a faster network C. It is easy to locate a place D. It is too expensive for people to buy | |||
| 2. Why do one of my colleagues carry Verizon phone with him all the time? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. Because iPhone 3G is just a toy. B. ecause he prefers Verizon phone better. C. Because AT&T"s cellular coverage is terrible there. D. Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time. | |||
| 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. App Store will offer you great fun. B. many apps have been developed for the iPhone. C. Most apps are very expensive. D. Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites. | |||
| 4. From the passage we know that the attitude of the author toward iPhone 3G is _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. doubtful B. appreciative C. optimistic D. pessimistic |
