filled with ice from the North Pole, making it difficult for the ship to sail on.
In the radio room, operator Cyril Evans listened to the radio-talk between a nearby passenger ship and
the telegraph station on the Canadian island of Newfoundland. Evans interrupted it and said, "We"re stopped
and surrounded by ice. Be careful as you pass through these waters." The radio operator on the nearby ship
replied, "I"m too busy to talk now. I have many messages to send to the telegraph station." Twenty minutes
later, as he turned off his radio and went to bed, Evans could still hear the ship sending its passengers"
telegrams.
Earlier in the evening the California"s captain, Stanley Lord, had seen another ship approaching. It looked
about the size of his own, but attempts to contact the ship failed. It lay dark and mysterious about 10 miles
away. At 12:40 am there appeared a sudden flash of light just over the mystery ship. Captain Lord, thinking
the ship might need help, ordered his officers to signal the ship by lamp. There was no reply. Three more
rockets then exploded, none appeared to go higher than halfway up the mast of the mystery ship. Then at
about 2:00 am it turned and slipped into the darkness.
In the light of the dawn there was no mystery ship, but 20 miles away was the scene of a great disaster.
Unfortunately, the mystery ship had stopped directly in front of the California, preventing people on board
from seeing clearly. If this ship had not been there, Captain Lord would have recognized that the rockets
were SOS rockets that came not from the mystery ship but from a more distant ship which the California
could not see. If Cyril Evans had kept his radio on for just 30 minutes more he would have heard SOS signals
coming from that distant ship he spoke with the night before. That ship was the Titanic which was sinking
fast, leaving 1 500 0f its passengers dead. It was April 14,1912.
B. People on the California.
C. People at the telegraph station.
D. People on Newfoundland.
B. To signal for help.
C. To contact the Titanic.
D. To warn other ships.
B. It describes how the Titanic sank.
C. It indicates that the people on the California were careless.
D. It lists how many people died in the disaster.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
B. Cyril Evans went to bed earlier than usual that night
C. the Titanic started sinking at dawn the next day
D. the Titanic sent out many telegrams that night

choice:We can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were
alive and well. Or we can embrace (拥抱) the new English,enter into the spirit of the Internet age called
Weblish.
"You can"t keep away from it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes
along,it inevitably (不可避免地) influence the language as a whole." Says Dr David Crystal, honorary
professor of linguistics (语言学家) at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book "Language and the
Internet" has just been published.
The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words
but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did
not have Windows,you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because
they use a Mac (which is a computer, not a rain coat). Spam is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas
it once meant an unappetizing (引不起食欲的) canned meat. It now stands for unwanted "junk" email.
Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing "hvc with vrbs" (havoc (混乱) with
verbs), but the conventions (常规) of email communication place little emphasis on "perfect speaking".
Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs ("please bookmark this site"), and verbs become
nouns ("Send me the download"). Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new
nouns or adjectives(dial-up, logon, print-on, pull-down, upload), while others are created from simply
pairing nouns: cyberspace, emit Internet, hyperlink, metatag, netspeak.
B. Newly invented English Words
C. Keep Up with the Latest Weblish
D. Keep Up with the Latest Development in
B. weblish causes fear among people
C. some people wish Shakespeare were still alive
D. people may have different opinions towards weblish
B. old words take on new meanings
C. the technology is changing too fast
D. weblish words are full of spelling mistakes
B. weblish will destroy the English language
C. people should know something about weblish
D. weblish can cause misunderstandings among people
from Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932. Two years later, he came upon the Lego
name by putting together the first two letters of the Danish words Leg and God, which mean "play well."
The name could be interpreted as "I put together" in Latin; it is also similar to the Greek verb meaning
"gather" or "pick up".
In 1947, the company enlarged to making plastic toys. At first, the use of plastic for toy production
was not highly regarded by salesmen and consumers of the time. Many of the Lego Group"s shipments
were returned, following poor sales. However, Christiansen"s son, Gottfried Kirk Christiansen, saw the
great potential (潜能) in Lego bricks to become a system for creative play-As the junior managing director
of the Lego Group, he spent years trying to improve the "locking" ability of the bricks and made the bricks
more versatile (多用途). In 1958, the modem interlocking brick design was finally developed and patented
(获得专利).
Today Lego is sold in more than 130 countries. Every minute 33,824 Lego bricks are made, and kids
around the world spend 5 billion hours a year playing with Lego. There will be more than 400 million
people playing with Lego bricks this year. On average, every person in the world owns 62 Lego bricks,
and about seven Lego sets are sold every second.
This year Lego fans all over the world are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the tiny building blocks.
Though already 50 years old, Lego is still the same product it was in the 1950s.
Bricks bought then are still compatible (兼容的) with present bricks and that is probably the reason
the toy has never fallen out of favor.
B. It was created by Ole Kirk Christiansen"s son.
C. It was created in 1947 for naming the plastic toys.
D. It came from Danish words meaning "play" and "well."
B. 1947.
C. 1934.
D. 1932.
B. Children spend an average of 62 dollars on Lego bricks each year.
C. People in the world spend 400 million hours playing with Lego every year.
D. The Lego Group now produces more than 30 thousand toy bricks every minute.
B. The company hasn"t changed its name since 1 947.
C. The material for the bricks has proved to be safe.
D. The price of the toy is relatively, reasonable.
Province. It may lead to the uncovering of chariot pit groups that could be a key to understanding Chinese
civilizations that existed more than 2,000 years ago.
Experts said the relics are dated more than 300 years earlier than the famous warriors (武士) in Shaanxi
Province. What excited the experts were two othe r projects that located two huge pits with similar features.
"It is absolutely a miracle. the se relics indicate that the re could be a tomb group in this area, which is likely
to be important for China"s archaeological (考古学的) studies," said Ma Juncai, a leading relic researcher in the
province.
In ancient China, carts, sheep, spoons and so on were buried to ensure that dead people had a happy
afterlife. the number and quality of the sacrifices indicated the social status of the dead. the custom was carried
into the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qinshihuang"s tomb, located near Xi"an, the capital of Shanxi Province, is
accompanied by thousands of wood or clay figures of warriors and horses. the tomb is probably the most
well-known.
The discovered pit measures 10.4 meters long, 8.4 meters wide and 5 meters deep. It holds 20 carts in
different sizes. the smallest one is 1.05 meters long and 1.3 meters wide.
Experts think that 40 horses are likely to be found as well. Careful plans need to be made to deal with the
demanding uncovering."the clay is very weak and a small misstep can destroy the whole project. That"s why
we need to take every step very carefully to protect the se cherished cultural relics," Ma said.
B. China"s archaeological studies.
C. the discovery of a large chariot pit in Henan.
D. the history of Chinese civilizations.
B. it"s helpful in discovering Emperor Qinshihuang"s tomb
C. the relics are dated such a long time ago
D. the relics are more than 300 years older than the ones in Shan"xi

came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as "Chinatown". However, London"s Chinese
community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545
Chinese people in Britain.
After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As
Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled in a different area-a part of central
London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small
Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was
wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city.
Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked
as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives
to join them from overseas.
As time went by, London"s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and
daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get
highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts.
Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

States.Yale,Princeton,Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

began teaching modern languages, such as French and German.Soon it began teaching American history.
As knowledge increased. Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students
were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.
