Salt in these districts was almost bought up overnight. Some sellers wanted to make a fortune by raising the price. The panic buying was caused by two major rumors on the Internet: First, iodized (含碘的) salt can protect against radiation. Second, there might be a fall in sea-salt production following the nuclear pollution of the ocean. Such fears are not new. The same kind of panic happened with vinegar during the SARS outbreak and garlic in the time of the influenza period.How can rumors like this spread in such a large country as China? Chen Fang, a reporter with the China Youth Daily said that many Internet users say there is a “crisis of trust” in today’s China. “Experts don’t have enough credi bility and people don’t trust all government announcements, either.” Chen said.However, Chen added that the rumors should not be exaggerated (夸大). Many salt-buyers didn’t care; others simply failed to understand what experts and governments were talking about. They just did as their neighbors and friends did. It was a case of the blind following the blind – that was the real reason behind the big increase in the demand for salt.On March 20, the Ministry of Commerce said: “The panic buying of salt has stopped and the market is back to normal.” He also said China has enough salt to satisfy demand.Now everything is back to normal, many want to return the salt they bought. But in the view of the Xinhua Daily Telegraph, “It is true that these people paid extra money to buy the salt, but they created the crisis in the first place and caused the price to rise.” The newspaper continued: “So there is no reason why they should get the money back.”Perhaps consumers should keep the salt to remind themselves that often rumors are without foundation.56. What is the best title of the passage?A. Crisis of trustB. Leak causes panicC. A funny rumorD. The blind following the blind57. Which is NOT the reason for which many people buy up iodized salt?A. People are too ready to believe rumors.B. People are afraid of a sea-salt shortage.C. People find it a chance to make a fortune.D. People think it protective to fight against radiation.58. What is the Xinhua Daily Telegraph’s attitude towards the salt-buyers?A. They should have only themselves to blame.B. They should be punished for their activity.C. They should trust experts and governments.D. They should return the salt and get the money back.59. What is the tone of the writing?A. Considerate.B. Persuasive.C. Doubtful.D. Objective.BWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the co mputer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1. The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2. The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.Point 3. The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4. The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near—but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5. The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.60.How do you understand ‘Point 1—The telephone creates the need tocommunicate,…’?A.People don’t communicate without telephone.B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C.People communicate more since telephone has been created.D.People communicate more because of more traffic.61.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?A.Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.D.Mobile phones are part of people’s life.62.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?a.Point 1.b. Point2.c. Point3.d. Point 4.e. Point 5.A.c, dB. a, eC. a, cD. b, e63.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through.A. the TV screenB. a fax machineC. the phone line hooked up to the computerD. a microphoneCAdvertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, “I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half.” Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched.What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humour is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.64.The purpose of advertising is _______.A.to increase product salesB.to make a product much betterC.to spend more moneyD.to reduce the production65.Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase “hand in hand”?A. Here and there.B. Again and again.C. As usual.D. At the same time.66.What is meant by what managers said in the second paragraph?A.All the money on advertising was wasted.B.Not all the advertisements were well designed.C.All the managers knew about advertising then.D.Managers spent no money on advertising.67.What does the writer think of advertising?eless.B. Unnecessary.C. Important.D. Wasteful.DEverybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs with arrows on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the sea and many other things.68. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. It is a most popular way for man to communicate with words.B. Words are the only way for man to communicate.C. Using radio is one of the ways for man to communicate.D. TV can help people to know the world better.69. Besides words, which can also be used to express oneself?A. Sign language.B. Smile.C. Head shaking.D. Nodding.70. Which of the following signs is usually used to show you the direction?A. Picture.B. A number.C. A kind of color.D. An arrow.71. According to the passage, how does an artist often express himself?A. He writes articles.B. He gives reports.C. He sings songs.D. He draws pictures.EA friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin （顽童）was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and the n he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again．“Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled （残疾） brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it… Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.
