The house next door had been empty for so long that we had quite forgotten what it was to have neighbors. One day, 16 , a great furniture lorry drew up near our front gate and in a short time, all kinds of furniture were 17 on the pavement. A small car arrived, out of
which came seven people: a man, a woman and five children of 18 ages. The children hurried out and began laughing 19 as the whole family moved into the house. Windows were 20
open: furniture was put into 21 ; and little faces looked curiously at us over the fence and disappeared. It was our first 22 to the Robinsons.
Though we became firm 23 with our new neighbors, we often had causes to be made angry be them. Our garden became an unsafe place: little
boys 24 as cowboys or Indians would jump up from behind bushes, 25 wooden guns at us and 26 us to put our hands up. Sometimes our lives were 27 ; at others, we were killed with a 28 “Bang! Bang!”.
Even more dangerous were the arrows that occasionally came flying 29 the garden fence.
But we did not 30 go in fear for our lives. The Borbinsons were friendly and helpful and when we left for the holidays, we knew we had nothing to fear 31 our neighbors were around. We understood what it
was like to have 32 in the long, friendless, winter evenings 33 Mr. Robinson would 34 in for a cup of tea and chat; or when Mr. Robinson would 35 over the fence and talk endlessly with father
about gardening problems. 16. A. but

第三：阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题中的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

A
There are so many different plastic cards that adults have to carry around-library cards, savings cards for different banks, credit cards, just to name a few… So why not have one card to replace them all?
Scott Barnhill, an 11-year-old fifth-grade student in the US has come up with an idea for a “Security One Card”.
Sound smart? The US Patent Office thought so, and it permitted a patent for his idea in April.
Here’s an example of how Barnhill’s idea would work.
Let’s say you have the three cards mentioned above. Instead of carrying them all, you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips added to it.
The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card, even a blank one.
Companies could add their information to one of the strips. For instance, you could ask a library to add a strip to your bankcard.
Barnhill has a lot of hobbies, including designing websites. He got the idea at the age of 9 when he saw his father using a key card to enter their hotel room. He thought, “The hotels are wasting money with the key cards.” So, instead of using a hotel-issued key card, guests could use their credit cards－if the hotel added a special magnetic strip. At check-out, the strip would simply be removed.
Now that he has his patent, his next step is a letter-writing campaign to get support from major credit card companies.
“I’m going to be writing letters to credit card companies to ask if they can co-operate. I hope the y’ll give me money every time someone puts a strip on the back of another card, or every time the idea is used,”Barnhill said.” I’ll write the letters and see what they say. If they say no, I’ll ask someone else, another credit card company.”
He is hoping to make money from his patent and has decided it would be better to collect royalties（专利使用税） if the idea takes off rather than sell his patent.
“The person who invented ATM sold it wholly, and if he’d chosen royalties he’d get like 2 cents for every deal and he’d be a billionaire now.” Scott said.
36. The advantage of “Security One Card” is that it __________.
A. could remove the burden of taking all kinds of plastic cards
B. would be very safe
C. would save your money
D. could have a lot of magnetic strips on it
37. The immediate cause of Scott’s invention was that _________.
A. he found even a hotel issued its own cards－key cards
B. he realized hotels should use only one card
C. he found that adults have to carry around so many plastic cards
D. he realized it would be a good chance to make big money
38. When a “Security One Card” is used, ___________.
A. one has to add additional magnetic strips to it himself
B. one has to pay Scott Barnhill each time a magnetic strip is added
C. all the extra costs go to its users
D. a certain amount of money must be paid to its inventor
39. The underlined phrase “takes off” in the last paragraph but one probably means _______.
A. makes money
B. wins a lot of support
C. is worth a lot
D. is perfect
B
A suicide（自杀） bomber blew up a bus parked outside a Karachi hotel yesterday in a thunderous explosion that killed 11 French engineers, their Pakistani driver and a passer-by. Twenty-tree people were wounded.
Pakistan’s government denounced（公开指责） the explosion as an act of terrorism aimed at foreigners, and suspicion fell on militant Islamic groups angered by Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf’s support for the US-led united war in neighboring Afghanistan.
There was no evidence linking the attack, directly to the al-Qaida terrorist network of Osamaa bin Laden, but many of the militant Islamic groups in Pakistan are sympathetic to al-Qaida and some have links to the organization, according to the Associated Press.
Musharraf promised to fight back.
“We feel this act of international terrorism has to be met with full force. My government has the complete determination of meeting this threat,” he said.
“I would like the international community to understand our home environment resulting from our cooperation against international terrorism,” Musharraf said.
French President Jacques Chirac condemned（谴责） the attack and sent his newly appointed defense minister to Pakistan.
The 11 French killed in the bombing were engineers working at the Karachi seaport for a state-owned French marine construction company, the French Foreign Ministry said in Paris. They were part of a team building a submarine Pakistan bought from France.
The bus was parked outside the Sheraton Hotel when the bomb went off －obviously in a second vehicle driven by the bomber, tearing a large crater（弹坑） in the road and destroying nearby vehicles.
“We have recovered a burnt body from a car,” said Sindh provincial police chief Sayed Kamal Shah, referring to the suicide bomber and his vehicle. “The sound was so loud I think you could have heard it from six miles away,” said Munir Sheikh, a police officer who was actually present at the event and saw the explosion. The explosion caused 14 deaths, including the bomber.
40. Which of the following is true according to tile passage?
A. Pervez Musharraf is French President.
B. Jacquess Chirac is Pakistani President
C. Sayed Kamal Shah is a police officer.
D. Munir Sheikh is member of a militant Islamic group.
41. The explosion was considered to be made by __________.
A. Osama bin Laden
B. militant Islamic groups
C. the al-Qaida terrorists
D. a Pakistan policeman
42. The French Foreign Minister ___________.
A. was newly appointed and sent to Pakistan by French President yesterday.
B. condemned the attack in a press conference in Pairs yesterday.
C. denounced the explosion as an act of terrorism aimed at French people
D. said the French killed were engineers building a submarine Pakistan bought from France.
43. The suicide bomber __________.
A. was found dead and burnt in a car
B. shot through the window of his vehicle
C. was found dead in a large crater in the road
D. was arrested by Pakistan police officer Munir Sheikh

A branch of psychology called neurolinguistic（神经语言学）programming has made an interesting and useful discovery: You can change the way you imagine or remember things without changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings. For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and less bright, and when you do, the memory won’t make you as sad. Since you haven’t changed the content of the memory, you haven’t lost any information. You’ve simply made it less painful.
When you visually remember a pleasant memory, you can make the picture more colorful and the memory will give you even stronger good feelings. You can make your pictures of the future brighter, wider, deeper, or you can bring the images closer. Changes like these will make you feel different-even when you leave the content of the picture the same.
What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself. For example, if you have trouble encouraging yourself, try changing the tone of voice you use when you speak to yourself. Some people order themselves around. The voice they use to talk to themselves is cruel and commanding. Listening to yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone else being bossy: it can make you want to rise up. Change your tone to friendly or sweet, and you might feel more encouraged. When you tell yourself “I can do it”, fill your internal voice with eagerness and back it up with inspiring music. The possibilities are in fact endless.
The important thing to understand is that the way you code your inner world has an impact, and you have quite a bit of control over that coding.
You can change it deliberately. When you do, it will change your feelings, which will change your actions, which will change the world around you.
48. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. You can Change the World around You!
B. Be Merry.

A. happier
B. sadder
C. calmer
D. wiser

Business activities are becoming increasingly worldwide as many firms spread their operations into markets abroad. Many U.S. firms, for example, are trying to enlarge markets by doing business in China, India, Latin America, Russia and other Eastern European countries. Multinational Corporations （MNC）, which operates in more than one hundred countries, especially moves operations to wherever they can find the least expensive employees who are able to do the work well. Productions jobs requiring only basic or repetitive skills－such as sewing computer pieces－are usually the first to be moved abroad. MNC can pay these workers a small part of what they would have to pay in their own countries, and often work them longer and harder. Most U.S. multinational businesses keep the majority of their up-per-level management, marketing and finance within the United States. They employ some lower-level managers and a large number of their production workers in offices, factories, and buildings in developing countries. MNC based in the United States have moved many of their production operations to Central and Latin America, China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Merger is also becoming more common than in the past. In the United States, for example, tobacco product and food producer R.J. Reynolds
Industries bought food giant Nabisco Brands to form RJR Nabisco Holdings Corporation in 1985, and in 1995 the industrial power generator, electronics, and machine producer Westinghouse Electric Corporation bought media production company CBS Inc.
52. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Business Abroad.
B. Modern Business Development.
C. Spread of MNC.
D. Business in the Developing Countries.
53. Why do many U.S. firms move their factories to Central and Latin America, China, India, and Southeast Asia?
A. To help those countries to develop industries.
B. To get rid of the gap between the poor and the rich.
C. To produce more production.
D. To gain more value from the cheap employees.
54. The word “Merger” in the first sentence of the last paragraph means _________.
A. joining
B. bargaining
C. separating
D. competing
55. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Worldwide business will be popular.
B. Employees will be inexpensive.
C. People should not work for foreign firms.
D. Small companies should keep on preventing being bought.
