     London has a new magazine. But it"s not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive
it because it is on TV.
     In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only
have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There"s a wide
choice—everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.
     If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an
easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The
news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your
screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather
map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a
list of the week"s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train ? To answer the question you only
have to press 189 for the traffic report. It"s very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the
service is that it"s being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and
whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
     London has already had three services. One, transmitted(传输)by ITV, is called ORACLE, while the
other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX, because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and
ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not
think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you
everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which
could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life. 1. What is unusual about the mew magazine in London?A. You can find any subject you want in it.
B. No paper is used to print the magazine.
C. There 1,000 page numbers in the index.
D. The speed of transmitting is astonishing.2. It"s clearly seen from the passage that ________.A. it takes long for the service of the magazine to be updated
B. most of the postmen will be out of work someday
C. the readers can get all kinds of information without leaving home
D. everyone can read the magazine if there is a television at hand3. According to the passage, the "decoder" is used to help people to ________. A. read the information transmitted by TV signals
B. broadcast special TV programs at home and abroad
C. dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about
D. find the exact page in which you can get information you need4. The passage is mainly about           .A. a new magazine printed in London
B. a popular TV program with three services
C. a great breakthrough in printing
D. an up-to-date way of keeping up to date

阅读理解      I’ve been writing detective stories since I was a teenager. Some people think it’s a strange profession
for a woman, but I think crime fiction is for everyone. I’ve started giving writing classes and the most
common question people ask is, “Where do you start?” It’s impossible to give fixed rules, but there are some general tips that people often find useful.
      Before you start writing, choose a time period and place that sound realistic. A useful tip is to ‘write
about what you know’. If you were born in Paris or London, it makes sense to set your story in a
European city. Of course, you can write about any continent and any century, but you’ll need to do a lot
more research to make your story believable.
     The character of your detective is very important. He or she must have qualities that help them solve the crime, but they also need characteristics that make them an individual. He or she must also fit in the time
and place of your story. Readers are very knowledgeable and they will notice if you get any details wrong about the time period.
      Every detective story needs a crime, of course. You need to explain what happens before the crime,
the crime itself and what happens afterwards. Remember that you don’t always have to write about a
murder. Some readers don’t enjoy stories full of guns and blood. So, why not write about a theft,
kidnapping, or something different like an environmental crime?
       Clues are important to keep the readers’ interest. They must be interesting, but not too complicated or repetitive. The readers also need to know who the suspects (嫌疑犯) are and if they have an alibi, which means whether they can prove that they were somewhere else when a crime was committed. Decide at the beginning how the crime will be solved and how all the clues will be brought together. Readers love a
‘twist’ at the end of a story - a surprise or a new fact that brings the action to its conclusion.

1. The writer of the text is __________.

A. a man
B. a woman
C. a teenager
D. a criminal

2. Why is it a good idea to ‘write about what you know’?

A. You can write about any period in history.
B. You will have time to do your research.
C. You will believe in your story.
D. You won’t have to do so much research.

3. What does the writer say about readers of crime fiction?

A. They are only interested in the detective.
B. They don’t know how to solve the crime.
C. They know if the writer has made a mistake in the context.
D. They don’t care about the time or place.

4. What two points does the writer make about detective stories?

A. You can write about a range of crimes and readers like a shock at the end of a story.
B. Don’t write about murder and give a lot of clues at the beginning of the story.
C. You can write about guns and blood but don’t surprise readers at the end of the story.
D. You should explain the crime but don’t say who the suspects are.

5. Why did the writer write this text?

A. To describe being a story writer.
B. To give advice on writing a detective story.
C. To keep the readers’ interest.
D. To tell a real detective story.

阅读理解     It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she would be working. Her
bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job.
She decided she would start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the building, she had to
stand at the lifts and wait several minutes before one arrived. When she finally reached the office marked “King Enterprises”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped
on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, shecould hear the sound of
voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it
hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the
far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud
burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any mind to Marie. Finally
she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr.
King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train
every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.

1. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because __________.

A. she had never met the boss once before
B. she was a little bit late for work
C. she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place
D. there was no answer from inside the office

2. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as __________.

A. she had been there only once
B. Mr. King was not in the office
C. nobody was doing any work
D. the office had a new appearance

3. The people in the office suddenly started working because __________.

A. they saw a stranger in the office
B. they had finished their morning break
C. no one wanted to talk to Marie
D. the boss was about to arrive

4. We can infer from the passage that the employees of the enterprise _________.

A. would start their work day by listening to a joke
B. were considerate to newcomers
C. were always punctual for work
D. lacked devotion to the company

5. What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. A Cold Welcome
B. Punctual Like a Clock
C. An Unpunctual Manager
D. Better Late Than Never

Dear Abby,
        In a recent column, a lady wrote to say that one of her guests at a dinner party had stolen a fork. She

        I was not that guest, but over the last ten years I have   2   three things from where I have been a
guest. Abby, I cannot understand   3   I took these things! I have thought over as to how I can give these
things   4  !
        I cannot do it openly and   5   that I took them. This is a small town, and I am well known here. If
just one of these people   6   about it, I would be finished.
        Abby, what is wrong with me? They are   7   unimportant things. I considered seeing an   __8   for
a long time, but should I be   9   going to an expert, it would be known in the entire town   10  . I am sure
thousands of people like me wish to have the courage to return   __11   does not belong to themselves.
Should I just wait until it is   12  , and then find a good chance to   13   the things in the mailboxes of their

Dear Guilty Conscience,
        Yes. It will make you feel   15   to tell your story, but it will not solve your problem. You need to
  16   help to find out why you took those things so you won’t   17 this kind of behavior. See an expert
in   18   town or city nearby to protect your   19  . He/She will give you much help.

阅读理解。        Big football matches are always exciting affairs. Besides the action on the field, the noise the crowd
makes really creates the unique atmosphere. At this summer’s World Cup, you can be sure that every
country’s fans will be in full voice, supporting their teams.
        The football chant(口号) is as old as the sport itself. It’s a way for fans to express their support for
their team. It’s common for the noise of supporters to provide the encouragement for a team to win a
match. Most agree that a chant is for building a great atmosphere and to support the team.
        One of the most famous football songs is the Liverpool club anthem(颂歌) You’ll Never Walk
Alone，originally from a 1945 Broadway show, which was adopted by Liverpool and is sung before
every match. It has been said that as soon as the opposite hears the song, they become aware of how
tough winning at Anfield (Liverpool’s stadium) will be.
        The key to a good football song is that it should be simple. It has to be easy for all fans to sing along
with. When I went to watch Beijing Guo’an last season, I could join in one chant though I could only
speak a little Chinese. “Beijing wo ai ni,” the Guo’an fans sang - you didn’t have to be gifted to work out
what that meant.
        At the World Cup, the first songs you’ll hear at matches will be the national anthems. Fans and
players join together to sing the anthems before each match, and it is considered a mark of respect that
the opposite remains silent while each team’s anthem is being sung.
        So, even though I’ll be supporting England from home in the summer, you can be sure I’ll be chanting
at my TV: “En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land!”1. From the passage we can learn that _______.A. a good football chant is usually very long
B. the football chant can express support to the team
C. the football chant appears later than football itself
D. a fan is talented to learn foreign languages 2. What can fans do to support their team?A. To kick the ball on the field.
B. To fight with the opposition fans.
C. To provide encouragement with chants.
D. To donate money to the players.3. Why the national anthems of both the teams can be heard at the World Cup?A. Because it is a sign to show the respect to each other.
B. Because it is sung for the leaders of the host country.
C. Because it represents encouragement from their fans.
D. Because either team senses the support from their country.4. Which of the following is the best title?A. Football - A Popular Sport
B. National Anthems at Matches
C. You’ll Never Walk Alone
D. You’ll Never “Cheer” Alone

阅读理解     In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child"s acquisition(学会)of each new skill - the
first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that
parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and
states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too
early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words
he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities,
he loses his natural enthusiasm(热情) for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
     Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in
money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality(准时) for meals. In
general, the controls imposed(强加的) represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community
(社区) as much as the child"s own happiness.
     As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in
parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also,
parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practise what
they preach(说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old
enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
     A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles and their morals can be a
dangerous disappointment.1. Eagerly watching the child"s acquisition of new skills _____.A. should be avoided
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make him lose interest in learning new things2. When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.A. encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B. not expect too much of them
C. achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. create as many learning opportunities as possible3. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children
     alone
D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation4. The underlined word "precept" (in Paragraph 3) probably means "_____".A. idea
B. punishment
C. behaviour
D. instruction5. In moral matters, parents should _____.A. observe the rules themselves
B. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D. satisfy their children"s needs
