That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarterof a century,engineers have been making better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. A computer can report,decide and control in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer“think”like a man. With the help of a person,a computercan draw pictures,write music,talk with people,play chess,recognize voices,translate languages and so on . Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Do you think that people will be afraid when they find that the computer is too clever to listen to and serve the people?21.Engineers have worked on computerfor _______A. about a hundred yearsB. more than twenty -five yearsC. over three months C. about ten years22.Some people think that a computer is _________people.A. cleverer thanB. ad clever asC. not cleverer thanD. slower thanputers are _______the peopleA. doing more and more jobs forB. going to laugh atC.going to listen toD. taking the place of24.With the help of a person, a computer can________.A. draw picturesB. write musicC. talk with people or play chessD. do all above25.People will______the computers in the future.A. really be afraidB. make better use ofC. no longer useD. help( F )Men sometimes say,“We are better and cleverer than women. Women never invent things. We do.”It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: machines,radios and guns,too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture. Before invention of agriculture, men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day,too. They collected corn, fruit and grasses. Then,one day more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds near her home in the Middle East. They grew –and the first wheat was born. The idea grew,too.Women planted corn and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: digs, cows and sheep. The idea grew,too. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home.They built villages and cities. Civilization began. Min began civilization after women invented agriculture. 26．Before the invention of agriculture life was difficult because____________.A.hunters sometimes killed other huntersB.hunters did not always get meatC.women went out to hunt every dayD.animals sometimes killed the women and children27.From the passage we know that domestic animals are________A. animals that feed on grassB. animals that live in natural conditionsC. animals whose meat can be used as foodD. animals that are kept at home28.After the first wheat was born, women soon saw that they could _________.A. go out and look for foodB. go hunting for meatC. plant corn,and fruit trees at homeD. go out to collect corn and fruit29.

These are known as guide words. The one on the left-hand side of the page tells you what the first word on the page is. The one on the right-hand side of the page tells you what the last word in the page is. So if you are looking for a word in the dictionary, you first look at the guide words at the head of the pages. Then you will be able to tell whether or not the word you want is on the page you are looking at.You will notice that a dictionary very often gives several meanings for one word. How could you decide which of these meanings is the one you need? First, you must know what part of speech the word is in the sentence. Is it a noun or a verb? Is it an adjective or an adverb? A word can be used in a different way in a sentence, and so may have a different sense. Next, you must see which of the meaning will fit into the sentence. It is important to study the rest of the sentence carefully in order to find out the meaning of the word36. The two words at the top of any page of a dictionary________.A.are known as those printed in heavy typesB.are called those on the left-hand side of the pageC.are known as those on the right-hand side of the pageD. are called guide words37. If you want to know what the last word on the page is , you may_________.A.look at the word in the right-hand side of the pageB.look up it in the last part of the dictionaryC.look up it in the first part of the dictionaryD. look at the word on the left-hand side of the page38. A dictionary often _______.A.tells whether or not the word you want is on any page you are looking atB.gives several meanings for one wordC.prints word in heavy typeD. gives two words in every page of it39. We would decide which of the meanings of a word in a dictionary is the one we need in the following order:______________.A.1)find out what part of speech the word is in the sentence;2)learn which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence by studying the restof the sentence carefullyB.1)know which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence;2)see what part of speech the word is in the sentence;3)study the rest of the sentence carefullyC.1)looking for a word in a dictionary;2)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;3)tell whether or not the word we want is on the page we are looking atD.1)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;2)know what part of speech the word is in the dictionary;3)find out which of the meanings of the guide words will fit into the sentence40. If in the dictionary you look up “load”in the sentence “We use an inclined plane to load or unload a truck”and the dictionary says:1. n. a burden; 2. n. amount of work….; 3. vt. put a burden on or into; 4. vt. add extra weight to …..Which meaning of the word makes the right sense in the sentence?A. The first.B. The second.C. The third.D. The fourth（I ）Tom was a shopkeeper. He had a small corner shop. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things.

The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom’s shop.The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom.

Tom put a sign in his window, “Steak--$4.50 a pound.”The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his window. “Steak--$4.00a pound.”An hour later,the sign in the supermarket said, “Steak--$3.75 a pound.” Ten minutes later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Steak--$3.50 a pound.” Five minutes later the sign in the sup ermarket said,“Steak--$2.50 a pound.” Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Stead--$1.00 a pound.”The manager of the supermarket ran cross the road into Tom’s shop.“This price cutting must stop,”he said,“Steak is costing me $4.00 a pound. I’m selling it at $2.50 a pound. I’m losing money every minute!”“I’ll stop cutting all my prices,”Tom said,“if you will stop cutting all yours.”The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook hands.Tom smiled.He had not lost any money on the steak .He didn’t sell steak at all.”41.

The difference between Mark and other climbers is that he lost both his legs when climbing New Zealand’s highest mountain, Mount Cook. He was caught i n a big ice hole and he had to have his legs cut below the knees after he was saved. But that couldn’t make Mark lose heart, who has become the first person with man-made legs to reach the top of Mount Everest.From the top of the world’s highest mountain,Mark called his wife to say he made it. His wife, Anne got the phone when she was sleeping. She couldn’t hear him clearly on the phone. She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day. She also said his “legs” didn’t work w ell sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the 8850-meter mountain.“I’m not doing this to be the first. I have been climbing most of my life and I just feel Mount Everest is really a great aim. I want to send a message that I can do-anything better.”( )1．What was the difference between Mark and other climbers?A．He went mountain-climbing with his wife.B．He climbed mountains with man-made legs.C．He was the first to climb Mount Everest.D．He was the best guide of the world.( )2．Mark’s wife thought i t was __ on Mount Everest when Mark reached its top.A．noon B．morning C．mid-night D．evening( )3．Which of the following is the correct order in Mark’s story?a．Losing both of his legs.b．Working as a mountain guide.c．Falling into an ice hole on Mount Cook.d．Reaching the top of Mount Everest.A．c a b d B．c a d b C．b c a d D．b a c d( )4．Ma rk’s story makes us believe that he is a ______ man.A．polite B．brave C．kind D．clever( )5．Mark told us that he cared much about __________.A．being the first B．climbing higherC．keeping healthy D．being a guide(7)Are you going to high school to go on with your study? What will you do if you can’t? Don’t worry. V ocational(职业的) schools are open for you because our country is in need of people with special skills.Compared with common high schools, vocational schools have more advantages. Firstly, in order to promote (促进) the development of vocational education, our country spends a lot of money on it. So you need to pay only a small half of the school fee. Secondly, here you have already started learning practical skills that you can use all your life. But some other students may still worry about how to spend the long three years at high schools. Why? Because they didn’t choose the school that suits them. And finally, when they are still wondering where to go, you have already been able to live on your own hands proudly. And perhaps it wont be long before you are on the road to success.People take different roads because they have different potential. So different students should choose different schools. Go to high school if you think that you can go farther on that road. Choose a key high school if you are lucky enough to have the chance. Enter a vocational school if you are interested in the lessons there and you are better at making things with your hands.In a word, think carefully and see what kind of person you are. Remember, always choose things that suit you.( ) 1. What does the second paragraph talk about?A. The future of vocational schools.B. How to learn a skillC. The advantages of vocational schoolsD. How to succeed.( ) 2. The underlined word “fee” means ________.A. 赞助费B. 学费C. 奖学金D. 伙食费( ) 3.

The difference between Mark and other climbers is that he lost both his legs when climbing New Zealand’s highest mountain, Mount Cook. He was caught i n a big ice hole and he had to have his legs cut below the knees after he was saved. But that couldn’t make Mark lose heart, who has become the first person with man-made legs to reach the top of Mount Everest.From the top of the world’s highest mountain,Mark called his wife to say he made it. His wife, Anne got the phone when she was sleeping. She couldn’t hear him clearly on the phone. She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day. She also said his “legs” didn’t work w ell sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the 8850-meter mountain.“I’m not doing this to be the first. I have been climbing most of my life and I just feel Mount Everest is really a great aim. I want to send a message that I can do-anything better.”( )1．What was the difference between Mark and other climbers?A．He went mountain-climbing with his wife.B．He climbed mountains with man-made legs.C．He was the first to climb Mount Everest.D．He was the best guide of the world.( )2．Mark’s wife thought i t was __ on Mount Everest when Mark reached its top.A．noon B．morning C．mid-night D．evening( )3．Which of the following is the correct order in Mark’s story?a．Losing both of his legs.b．Working as a mountain guide.c．Falling into an ice hole on Mount Cook.d．Reaching the top of Mount Everest.A．c a b d B．c a d b C．b c a d D．b a c d( )4．Ma rk’s story makes us believe that he is a ______ man.A．polite B．brave C．kind D．clever( )5．Mark told us that he cared much about __________.A．being the first B．climbing higherC．keeping healthy D．being a guide(7)Are you going to high school to go on with your study? What will you do if you can’t? Don’t worry. V ocational(职业的) schools are open for you because our country is in need of people with special skills.Compared with common high schools, vocational schools have more advantages. Firstly, in order to promote (促进) the development of vocational education, our country spends a lot of money on it. So you need to pay only a small half of the school fee. Secondly, here you have already started learning practical skills that you can use all your life. But some other students may still worry about how to spend the long three years at high schools. Why? Because they didn’t choose the school that suits them. And finally, when they are still wondering where to go, you have already been able to live on your own hands proudly. And perhaps it wont be long before you are on the road to success.People take different roads because they have different potential. So different students should choose different schools. Go to high school if you think that you can go farther on that road. Choose a key high school if you are lucky enough to have the chance. Enter a vocational school if you are interested in the lessons there and you are better at making things with your hands.In a word, think carefully and see what kind of person you are. Remember, always choose things that suit you.( ) 1. What does the second paragraph talk about?A. The future of vocational schools.B. How to learn a skillC. The advantages of vocational schoolsD. How to succeed.( ) 2. The underlined word “fee” means ________.A. 赞助费B. 学费C. 奖学金D. 伙食费( ) 3.

What can we learn from the passage?A. People should take the same road.B. Key high school students must be good at making things.C. Clever students are better at using their hands.D. We should choose things that suit us.( ) 5. This passage is written to _________.A.advise some students to choose vocational schoolsB.talk about the advantages of common high schoolsC.discuss how to divide students into different groupspare different schoolsA. travel for little or no moneyB. get more ticketsC. keep learningD. work on the ship( )2．If you visit the USA Pavilion in early afternoon, _________.A. you can visit it for freeB. you can visit it in 35 minutesC. it will take you less time to enterD. it will be much easier to find Gate No. 8 ( )3．We can go to visit the Body Image Exhibition _________.A. at 4:30 p.m.B. at nightC. for freeD. at 325 Nanjing Road W ( )4．If you want to know more about the Body Image Exhibition, you can _____.A. call 021–6327–2829B. call at 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.C. search D. read a newspaper( )5．You can see the passage _________.A. in a magazineB. in a newspaperC. in a bookD. in a story book。
