A
The man spoke up quickly when the policeman came up to him。

“It’s all right，officer.” he said, “I'm just waiting for a friend．It’s an appointment made twe nty
years ago。

Sounds a little funny to you, doesn’t it? Well，I’ll explain if you’d like to make certain it’s all right. About that long ago there used to be a restaurant where this store stands—“Big Joe Brady's restaurant.”
“Until five years ago," said the policeman, “it was torn down then.”
“Twenty years ago tonight ,”said the man, “I had dinner here at ‘Big Joe Brady’s with Jimmy Wells, my best friend． He and I were raised here in New York; just like two brothers， together。

I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty。

The next morning I was to start for the West to make my money. Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from the date and time, no matter what happened， we might have to come。

We believed that in twenty years each of us should have our wish worked out and the money made."
“It sounds very interesting。

" said the policeman. Haven't you heard from your friend since you left?
“Well, yes, for a time we kept in touch,” said the other, “but after a year or two we lost track of each other. You see, the West is a pretty big place, and I kept running over it pretty lively. But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he is alive, for he always was the truest, dependable old friend in the world．He’ll never forget.
I came a thousand miles to stand at this door tonight, and it’s worth it if my old partner turns up.”
The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch， the lid（盖) of it set with small diamonds（宝石)。

“Three minutes to ten，” he announced．“It was exactly ten o’clock when we left here at the restaurant door."

As a student who wants to learn arts， architecture （建筑学)and history, you may go to France. When you study abroad in France， you can expect to be treated the same as your native classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class。

While you can study abroad in France and focus on nearly any subject，it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers．And that’s no shock， considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries。

As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer.
●Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet， Matisse and Renoir;
●Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;
●Listen to the music of Debussy, or mor e contemporary （当代的) artists like Air
and Daft Punk.
France is also a main destination for architecture students， as you will see architecture in nearly every style：
●The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;
●Place Dauphine built i n 1607 in Baroque style；
●The post—modern housing development, Marne—la—Vallee。

History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time。

Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution， the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle。

It was also the site of the D-Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of world War II．
As a possible study abroad location， France has a lot to offer， because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none。

24。

What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?
A. France is the best place for students who love the arts.
B。

There are many lectures and discussion classes。

C。

Students from China are usually treated badly。

D。

Few students choose to study in France.
25. What can art students do on weekends?
A. Enjoy Voltaire's music.
B. View Monet’s works in the Louvre。

C。

Read Renoir’s literary works. D。

Listen to Proust’s music.
26。

According to the text， you can see many kinds of architecture in France, such as__________．
① post—modem housing development ② Baroque style buildings
③ the Big Ben ④ Gothic architecture
A. ①②③ B。

②③④ C。

①③④ D。

①②④27。

The text is most likely taken from__________．
A. a history book B。

an architecture advertisement
C. a study abroad website
D. a fashion magazine
C
Perhaps people think you may use Wi-Fi free of charge if there are chances. Please read the following views。

Is it wrong to use someone else's wireless （Wi-Fi) connection(连接)？ Just recently, a man was arrested for doing just that。

At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便携式电脑) and using an unsecured(无安全保护措施） wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic？ Listen to the following different views on it。

For a start， if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will
affect your speed of access or download limit。

Also, it’s bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally， just imagine this： what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection has something to do with an illegal activity？ I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals(犯罪).
—by Sandra Wilkins
Basically, if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, what’s the problem？ It's just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book， or watching someone else's firework display。

It's not stealing.
Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured， then it is your own fault （过错） if someone else uses it。

Just as you wouldn't leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open。

By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it。

Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router（路由器)。

And finally，haven’t the police got more i mportant crimes to solve？They’re always saying how they haven't got the manpower to solve real issues。

But this is just ridiculous（荒谬的)。

—by James Hoarley
28. Why was the man mentioned in the first paragraph arrested？
A。

For stealing someone’s laptop.
B。

For surfing the Net in the street.
C. For using an Internet service without permission.
D. For destroying others' wireless connection.
29. What does Sandra Wilkins think of people using others’ Internet service?
A。

He thinks it is necessary sometimes。

B。

He doesn’t think it is acceptable。

C. He thinks it requires good computer skills.
D. He thinks it is good for Internet service providers。

30. In James Hoarley’s opinion， ______。

A。

Internet service should be improved.
B。

it is hard to secure one’s wireless connection。

C. people should leave their wireless connection open.
D。

using others’ Internet service is not stealing at all.
31. What would be the best title for the passage？
A. Wireless worries
B. Wireless connection
C. Internet service D。

Internet users
D
Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second， light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 344m。

You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces (产生） some strange facts。

Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us。

If you look at the light of the moon tonight，
remember that the light rays（光线)left the moon 1。

3 seconds before they reached you。

The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases（在某种情况下）the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest， we cannot say “The stars are shinning tonight。

”We have to say，“The stars look pretty。

They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth。

”
32。

If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that _____。

A。

you can hear the gun before you see the smoke。

B. sound does not travel as fast as light.
C. the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun。

D. sound travels about a million times faster than light。

33. Sunlight clearly _____ than the light of the moon.
A. has to travel a greater distance
B。

moves less quickly
C. travels much more quickly
D. is less powerful
34。

What does “it” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. moon light B。

light rays C. the nearest star D。

the moon
35。

The scientific way of saying “ The stars are shining tonight" should be________。

A. the stars have been shining all the time。

B。

the stars seen tonight will be shining four years later.
C. the stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight。

D。

the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago.

The yearly marathon (a long-distance running race of 42。

195km) in my town usually occurs during a heat wave. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance （救护车） _41_ any of them needed medical attention.
“We’re supposed to stay behind the 42 runner, so take it slowly，” I said to the driver， Doug， as the race started。

The front—runners started to 43 and then my eyes were 44 to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a loose white T-shirt。

We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her 45 were so crippled （残废的）that it seemed almost impossible for her to be able to walk, 46 alone run a marathon.
Doug and I 47 in silence as she slowly moved forward。

48 , she was the only runner left in sight。

Tears streamed down my face when I watched with respect 49 she pushed forward with great 50 through the last miles.
When the finish line came into sight, rubbish lay everywhere and the 51 crowds had gone home， 52 , standing straight and ever so proud 53 a lone man。

He was 54 one end of a ribbon(缎带)of crepe paper（绉纸） 55 to a post. She slowly crossed through， leaving both ends of the paper fluttering（飘动)behind her。

I do not kno w this woman’s name， but that day she became a part of my 56 –a part I often depend on。

For her，it wasn’t about 57 the other runners or winning a prize， but about 58 what she had set out to do, no matter 59 it is. When I think things are too diffi cult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I feel how 60 the task before me really is.

Dear Bill,
How nice to hear from you!In your letter you talked about your difficulties with your Chinese Learning. Well， my advice is that first you practice speaking Chinese every day for at least 15 minutes, and learn some everyday Chinese by heart. Then, it is a must to learn to some easy tapes, say, for 20 minutes every day， till one day you think it's time for more difficult ones. As for writing， doing simple readings as much as you can and taking some possible notes will be of much help。

Besides, writing something in Chinese every day， such as keeping diaries, will greatly improve your writing skills as well as the way you think in Chinese。

Hoping they will do some good to your Chinese learning
Best wishes!
Yours
Li Hua

W：I’d like to, but I must leave now。

I have to buy some meat and vegetables before my brother comes home from the office.

M：You didn’t go to George’s party last night。

W： Excuse me。

Does the No。

235 bus go by the department store?
M: No，it doesn’t。

But you can transfer to the No. 325 bus at the national museum by taking No。

226 bus from here。

Or, you can take the No. 105 to the public library and transfer to the No. 325 bus there.
W: Oh， it sounds far from here. How much does it cost?
M： Yes, it is really far. The bus fare is 50 cents for you and 25 cents for your child。

W： OK。

Thank you.

M: May I help you?
W: Yes， I would like to buy a swim suit for my older sister for her birthday.
M： How about this green one？It’s popular this year。

And this is the last one。

W： No， it's too large. She is smaller than that. Maybe a medium size one would suit her。

M: Will she like this blue one？
W: Oh, that’s my friend Jane's favourite color。

But， Hmm， my sister doesn't like it。

Do you have anything other than this？
M： Sure, what about this yellow one？
W： Oh, it looks beautiful。

I’ll take it。

W: Hi，Jim. I’m sorry。

I don’t want to go to the pop concert.

M: Well， what do you want to do？
W： I like hiking， rafting and climbing. What about you?
M： I like painting， sailing, watching football and talking to you。

W： I like talking to you， too。

M： Do you want to go to an exhibition？ There's a new one on at the Gape Gallery tomorrow。

W：Good idea. Let’s go.

M： Good morning. What can I do for you?
W：Yes, I bought this MP5 player here 3 weeks ago. But now there’s something wrong with it。

M: Let me have a look. The screen seems clear. It looks fine. What exactly seems to
be the problem?
W: Well， it just doesn't play songs.
M： Are you sure you have followed the instructions carefully?
W: I have lent it to my brother but he returned it to me a week ago。

It was working well until last week.
M: Did you drop it on the ground or in water?
W: No, I have been very careful with it。

M： Well, are you sure you bought it here?
W： Yeah， here's the package.
M： Sorry, I mean, do you have the receipt？
W： Sure， here you are.
M: OK。

It will be sent to the service counter to be checked. We should get it back in two weeks。

W： OK. My number is 67585235. Please call me when it has been repaired。

W: Hi, Mr. White。

I heard that you’ve just come back from China。

How do you like Chinese people？ I know they are very hardworking。

M： Well, they are very honest。

Let me tell you about an interesting experience I had there。

I worked in a language training school there。

I lost my wallet 3 times there, and each time I got it back。

The first time was in a pub. I was drunk and left my wallet with about 900 yuan on the counter. The pub owner happened to know one of my friends and has him return it to me。

Another time was when I was in a taxi going home late at night. My wallet slipped out of my pocket and I didn’t notice。

A few days later, a policeman called me， and I went to the police station to fetch it. The third time was when I was traveling in a mountainous area. I went into a shop to buy some water and I left my wallet with my credit card and ID card on the counter. The shop owner mailed my wallet to me.。
