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.
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.
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 hand
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 need
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
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.
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?

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
did not know how to 1 it.
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
right 14 ?
Help me! I’m eagerly looking forward to your reply!
A Guilty Conscience
(B)
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.
Please 20 my advice, and let me hear from you again. I care.
Abby

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!”
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
B. To fight with the opposition fans.
C. To provide encouragement with chants.
D. To donate money to the players.
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.
B. National Anthems at Matches
C. You’ll Never Walk Alone
D. You’ll Never “Cheer” Alone
