A
Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate.” But not all experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.
One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer. David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate.” David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out.The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate.”
56 Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s ides on the relationship between people and computers? A.Computer learning should be made easier.
B.There should be more computer clubs for experts. C.People should work harder to master computer use.
D.Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them. 57We can infer from the text that “computer-lilerate” means_______. A. being able to afford a computer
B. being able to write computer programs
C. working with the computer and finding out its value D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it
58 The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns ___. A.help to set up more computer clubs
B.bring people to learn to use computers C. bring more experts to work together D. help to sell computers to the public
59 David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of______.
A. making better use of computer experts B. improving computer programs C.increasing omputersales D. popularising computers
B
Depression(抑郁症)is a serious problem today.Depression causes workers to be unproductive,causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars.One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread,costly and deadly”.Depression hits one person in five around the world.
Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated,studies show that depression is a problem among everyone。Over any six-month period,between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression.
uicide(自杀)rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large,and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping,getting up on time,and doing work productively.
Depression,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes(基因),brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently. Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese's inability to face it.Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides,there is no good treatment,with few specialists available.
“Most patients in China just don't get help,”a Chinese doctor says.“In my hospital.I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning,just have time to say “Hello how do you feel?”
In Western countries,people are not afraid to admit that they have depression,but most do not tell it to their boss,because they fear that their boss would fire them.
“In my experience,aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most secure about themselves,”an American doctor says. Hopefully,in the near future,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.
60Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.It is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depression.
B.Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work C.Depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries.
D.The poorer and the less educated a person is,the less he will suffer from depression. 61Compared to normal people,the depressed people are likely to be▁▁▁. A.very unconfident and often absent-minded B.easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks C.working efficiently and productively D.either weak or lazy
62Depression becomes more serious in China because of. A.the understanding of the problem B.the lack of treatment and doctors
C.their unwillingness to tell it to their boss D.the doctors' careless work
63What can we infer from the passage?
A.People are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialists. B.The aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressed. C.More and more patients will turn to specialists for help. D.Western people are braver than Chinese people.
C
The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington
and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
So when it goes down, you go down with it.” “That’s good, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer.
What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?” “I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested. “I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other
travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
The best title for the article is _______.
A. When the Computer Is Down B. The Most Frightening Words C. The Computer of the Airport D. Asking the Computer
65 What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer? A. She could sell a ticket. B. She could write out a ticket. C. She could answer the passengers’ questions. D. She could do nothing. 66 Why do you think they had not a backup computer?
A. Because it was easy down B. Because it was very expensive.
C. Because it was not advanced enough.
D. Because it was not as big as the main computer. 67 The last paragraph suggests that _______. A. a modern computer won’t be down.
B. computers can take the place of humans
C. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to people D. there will be great changes in computers
D
For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.
As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 11 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.
However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes
and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.
That’s how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.
In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all. 68. The passage mainly tells us something about ______.
A. the past and present of British pubs B. the decline of British pubs C. the long history of British pubs D. the importance of British pubs 69. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?
A. The credit crunch. B. The present closing time. C. The ban of smoking. D. Having no spare money. 70. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. British people used to like drinking slowly
B. closing the pubs early will reduce social problems C. binge drinking means drinking less beer
D. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking 71. We can see from the last paragraph that the author _______. A. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs B. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs
C. thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems D. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need

Do you like sitting on the edge of your seat? How about falling off it laughing? If so, \"Rush Hour 1\" is the perfect movie for you. Although it didn’t get the best reviews, it is perfect for those who like a good comedy.
Just as in the first \"Rush Hour,\" Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) are partners. This time, they are on vacation in China and Carter is looking for a good time, but they are on the job again when a bombing at the American Embassy kills two customs agents. Lee and Carter go to look for a suspect named Ricky Tan. For Lee this is a serious case because Tan killed
his father. Will Carter and Lee be able to capture Tan?
Another reason to see this movie perhaps is for the thrilling action, which includes karate fights with Jackie Chan. One of my favorite scenes shows Carter and Lee in a massage parlor (店堂) when everything goes crazy.
\"Rush Hour 2\" is, of course, really funny with Chris Tucker in the lead role. Chan and Tucker have many clever jokes and remarks. Some of the jokes aren’t enjoyed by the critics, but most will find them entertaining.
With no doubt, the movie was great. I was filled with anxiety about what was going to happen next. Many critics say that sequels (续集) are not as good as the original but this one is great. I especially enjoyed it because the special effects are minimal so everything looks as though it actually happened. The lighting effect is great as well as the sound.
So, if you are looking for a great action movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat and makes you laugh quite a bit, you should rush to see “Rush Hour 2.”
72According to the author, \"Rush Hour 2\" is a perfect movie particularly ______. A. full of special effects B. with the best actors C. full of humors D. with great lights
73 In \"Rush Hour 2”, the two leading roles are on duty again because ______. A. their vocation in China is limited to a short term B. inspector Lee doesn’t want to have a good time C. the American Embassy in China was attacked D. a suspect named Ricky Tan killed Lee’s father
74 In Rush Hour series, the following are usually included EXCEPT _____. A. thrilling actions B. maximal special effects C. karate fights D. clever jokes and remarks
75 If \"Rush Hour 3\" is shot, what kind of the movie will it be? ______. A. Stage tragedy B. Action movie C. Soap opera D. Situational comedy

第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
One reason Americans eat so many calories is that we tend to eat large portions(分量). Studies find that hamburgers and fries are generally offered in serving sizes two to five times larger than the appropriate meal size. Researchers find we usually clean our plates no matter how high they're piled, even if we already feel satisfied. See the suggestions below to further master the fine art of sizing up(估量) your snacks and suppers.
Extremely large portions are one possible reason Americans continue getting fatter even as the percentage of our total calories from fat has gone down in recent years. Fortunately, portions are relatively simple to control because it's easier to count cookies than calories or grams of fat. Pre-picture portions. Use familiar objects to picture how much you should eat of a food before you pick up your fork or spoon. For example, a half cup of low-fat granola is about the size of your fist. A half cup of low-fat ice cream equals half an orange.
Use a smaller dish. This tip might sound ridiculous, but it works. First and most obvious is that you can't put as much food on, say, a salad plate. But psychologically, you're just not as prone to eat as heartily and quickly if your plate will be empty in 45 seconds. Have raw vegetables at every meal. Raw cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and peppers have few calories
and lots of nutrients. A plate of them in the middle of the table almost always gets eaten up, cutting down appetite for the more calorie-dense meat.
Start your meal with soup. Studies show that a bowl of soup at the start of the meal reduces overall meal consumption, since they are lowest in calories and highest in nutrients.
Manage your fork. After every bite of food, put your fork down. Don't pick it up until you have thoroughly chewed and swallowed the previous bite. The goal is both to slow down your eating and to eat less. Remember: Your body needs 20 minutes of digestion before it sends signals to your brain that you are no longer hungry.
