阅读理解。     Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past.There is another large reservoir
(知识库) which may be called experience, and the college students will find that every craftsman (工匠)
has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down
upon them.The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical
(理论的) part-the explanations of why things happen-is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的). But the
demonstration (示范) and report of what happens,and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in
completely unscientific terms.Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and
what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the
fisherman, so can he.   
     Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son,
or mother to daughter, of old country customs,of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college
student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants
from wild grass.The college students should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science
has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this
area long age. 1. In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____. A. personal experience 
B. wild weeds among good plants
C. the information from the parents 
D. the vast store of traditional practices2. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass
B. Craftsman"s experience is usually unscientific
C. The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen
D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college students 3. The author advises the college students to ______. A. be contemptuous to the craftsman
B. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms
C. learn the craftsman"s experience by judging it carefully
D. gain the craftsman"s experience without rejection 4. The main idea of this passage is about ______. A. what to learn from the parents

阅读理解。     Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way
many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is "networked individualism". This concept is
not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体)
and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
     Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks
included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it
was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. A recent research study by the Pew Internet and
American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced
this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that"s a good
thing. Why?
      In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too
much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The
Internet connects us with more real people than expected-helpful people who can give advice on careers,
medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that
the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
     Thanks to the computer. We are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time! 1. The underlined phrase "networked individualism" probably means that by using computers people  _____. A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people 2. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions? A. Networks.
B. Friends.
C. Phones.
D. Parents. 3. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _____.A. people have been separated from each other by using computers
B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing 4. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. We"re Alone on the Internet.
B. We"re Communicating on the Internet.
C. We"re Alone Together on the Internet.
D. We"re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.

阅读理解。                                                                    Count Me Out 
     Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new
Internet world.
     I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago,
when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking
importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you
visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow
and asked for further details.
     Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure
for cancer and this is what it said: "Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site." There
was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they
are seeking a cure for their illness?
     There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love
messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn"t interest me;
I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding
love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
     And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper
report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. "The complexity of a computer as
it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm," he said. "But, as technology advances,
computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop "consciousness."
In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own."
     If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would
like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes. 1. What"s the meaning of the title "Count Me Out"? A. Get me out of the Internet world.
B. Computers are trying to take control of life.
C. Modern technology pushes old people away.
D. Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet. 2. According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are _____.A. unnecessary
B. convenient
C. expensive
D. advanced 3. What might the author like about the future computer? A. Taking blames.
B. Curing illnesses.
C. Delivering messages.
D. Responding to emotions.

阅读理解。     It is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real
shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just
be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being
extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.
     I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position
of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场
合), especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember,
knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an
extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an
enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who
speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.
     What does it take, then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be?
They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take
the leap; and when they do, they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help
them on their way to the top in their chosen field. 1. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us? A. A person who is quiet may not be shy.
B. A shy person may not be a calm one.
C. Quiet people are usually doubtful.
D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.2. The underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. lazy
B. careful
C. eager
D. unwilling 3. According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually ______. A. have a strong will
B. talk less and show off less
C. learn more than extroverts
D. have a good attitude to learning 4. It can be learned from the last paragraph that "one more thing" probably refers to ______. A. energy
B. courage
C. quietness
D. knowledge

阅读理解。     The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was
7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.
     By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other
guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was
about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and
David left hungry and angry.
     Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads
and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30 pm means drinks only, go
out to dinner afterwards; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.
     But this is not always the case. If asked to a students" party at 6:30 pm, it is unaccepted for guests to appear on time. Being the first to arrive-looking eager-is social death. When my mother is asked to a party at 6:30, she
likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between
the two, but because we still think we"re young, we"re probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.
     The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home
hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element of surprise. 1. The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean ______. A. tired
B. crazy
C. happy
D. encouraging 2. Jane and David"s story is used to show that ______. A. party invitations can be confusing
B. party-goers usually get hungry at parties
C. people should ask for food at parties
D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull 3. For some young people, arriving on time for a students" party will probably be considered ______. A. very difficult
B. particularly thoughtful
C. friendly and polite
D. socially unacceptable 4. What is the general idea of the text?A. It"s safe to arrive late just when food is served.
B. It"s wise to eat something before going to a party.
C. It"s important to follow social rules of party-going.
D. There"s no need to read invitations carefully.
