     阅读下面短文并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。    [1] Imagine walking up to a world where China is the
world"s leading superpower, astronauts are busy walking on
Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK? Well,
this could be the reality in 13 years if some of the predictions of
100,000 Britons are correct.
   [2] The survey asked the people of the UK how they
pictured the world in 2025.
   [3] Nearly half believe Prince William will be crowned
King of England instead of Prince Charles although one in six
think the monarchy ( 君主制度) will have been abolished. A
quarter of those surveyed believe a new party will form the
government in 2025, although the same number of people think
that labour will be back in power.
    [4] On the world stage 60 per cent think China is set to
become the world"s leading superpower, while a third think
Great Britain will be made up of four self-governed countries.
     [5] Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and
bounds. Four percent are optimistic that there will be a
permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a
colony of humans to be living in space. More than half
questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their
favorite shows via TV sets hooked up to the Internet. Two-
thirds believe cosmetic surgery ( 整容手术) will have become
common and one in six think we will look after our own health
using computers rather than _                .
    [6] But at least we can amuse ourselves with the daily
comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more
than half think that "celebrity"  ( 明星) will be a registered
profession.

阅读理解。                             Stop  Spam
   When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I
received communications only from family, friends, and
  colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I
have an endless series of advertisements and other
  correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail
to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make
spamming(发送垃圾邮件)a crime.
        If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam,
  the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs
  allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost
  instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell
  their products,  individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often
  flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail
   if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
        This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as
  well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can
   shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on
  e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other.
  Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications
  networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate
effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and
requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These
computer problems raise production costs of companies, which
are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.
   For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to
legislate(立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined,  and
perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail
is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate
conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.1. What does the underlined word "correspondence" in theParagraph 1 probably mean?      A. messages                        
B. ideas
C. connections                  
D. programs2. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?     A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.3. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?   A. The business.    
B.The advertiser.
C. The employee.    
D.The consumer.4. What is the purpose of the text?A. To inform.    
B. To educate.
C. To persuade.    
D. To instruct.

     阅读下面短文,请根据短文后的要求进行答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。      [1]Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early
in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact,
you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However,
believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows
fear of water,  a very important thing to know. It"s wise to be afraid,
to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can
sometimes be very dangerous.
    [2]To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should
learn ____: butterfly,  backstroke,  breaststroke,  and crawl. I
feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the
others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,
without any training.
     [3]In swimming, there are certain rules every swimmer should
follow :
      (1) Never swim alone!  No matter how good you are in the
water, don"t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by
yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into
trouble.
    (2) Don"t go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know
enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach Showing off
by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will
continue to swim and alive.
      (3)Don"t smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good
lungs are part of Lt.
      (4)Work at any activity that builds muscles.

阅读理解。     If you haven"t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few months, you"ve probably been
avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered
a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving or
Road Rage recently if you drive at all.  
     While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as
disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907
people died on the highway last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that  about two-thirds were
caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.
     Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed
almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably
partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on
theroads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35
percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars
in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time
and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day,
stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors,
when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.
     You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be
surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long
and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any
of these situations, watch out!
     Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you,  there are
things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are susceptible(easily influenced) to Road Rage, the
key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the  target of another driver"s rage, do
everything possible to get away from the other driver safely,  including avoiding eye contact and getting
out of their way.     1. The first sentence in Para. 1 implies that ______.  A. one may be angered by media reports and wants to avoid them
B. the media coined the term "Road Rage" only a few months ago
C. Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months
D. people not interested in the media know little about recent
happenings2. The underlined word "spell" in Para. 3 means ________.   A. relieve             
B. cause          
C. spread            
D. prevent 3. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?   A. Talking while driving.              
B. Driving at high speed. 
C. Sounding the horn when passing.      
D. Shouting at another driver.4. The last paragraph is intended to _________.    A. tell people how to deal with Road Rage 
B. inform people how aggressive drivers could be 
C. show people how to control themselves when angry 
D. warn people against eye contact with another driver

阅读理解。                                              Smartphone Security Blankets
     Security-for the information on your smartphone, as well as for the phone itself-is a hot topic these
days. The truth is that you"re packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone, and you should keep
it safe.
When it comes to physical security, iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone a free
app (application program) from Apple that allows you to visit a website  and see your (lost, stolen or
misplaced) phone on a map. You can then sound an alarm, send a message that will pop up on its screen,
lock the phone or erase all your data.
     Android  does not have an exact equivalent, but there are plenty of alternatives. A free app called
Lookout  offers the find-my-phone feature. The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your
phone remotely.
     Then there is your coffee shop"s WiFi network. Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop
on (窥视) people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data.
Lookout"s apps will caution you when you"ve logged on to an unsecure network, but cannot protect you
once you"re there.
     In order to protect yourself on such networks, you can use a virtual private network, or V.P.N. This
turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across the Starbucks. It
also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you"re traveling, allows you to get access to sites that may
be blocked in other countries.
     If you have an iPhone, the simplest V.P.N. app is probably Hotspot Shield , whose distinguishing
feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing (浏览), as opposed to
other V.P.N. apps that require you to start them up manually. This matters, because even if you decide
you want a V.P.N. app, you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it. For the most part,
that was true of Hotspot Shield, though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost
connection without warning. I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes, which involved
setting my phone constantly.
     If even reading about the settings on your phone drives you crazy, then it is probably best to stay
away from a V.P.N. app. But if you"re the type who can"t resist checking your bank balance from your
corner bar, the hassle may be preferable to the risk.                        1. Which of the following can warn you against the unsecure network?  A. Android.  
B. V.P.N.  
C. Lookout.   
D. Find My iPhone.2. By using V.P.N., users can _______.  A. find their lost phone on the Internet
B. erase all the data from the phone remotely
C. check their bank balance now and then
D. save their browsing from being tracked    3. The underlined word "that" in Para. 6 refers to the fact that _____. A. a V.P.N. app kicks in automatically
B. the user starts V.P.N. apps manually
C. the app takes a while to connect
D. users spend no time thinking about it
