第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项并标在答题卡的相应位置。

A
Thousands of people began pouring into from other states. The y wanted to buy lottery tickets （彩
票）. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot （积累奖金） in history .
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the lottery drawing . Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80．The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few da ys before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a st ock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealt h they’ll probably never have.

的） gambling . Some critics note that most people who play ar e poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour thei r life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed t o help them kick the habit.
Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that wo uld otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lot teries are usually used to pay for education or programs for sen ior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice （恶

The idea of micropayments--
- charging Web users tiny amounts of money for single pieces o f online content--
- was basically put to sleep toward the end of the dot-
com boom. In December 2000, Clay Shirky, a professor in New York University’s interactive telecommunications program （电信交互程序）, wrote a manifesto （宣
言） that people still quote whenever someone suggests using t he idea. “Micropayme nts will never work,” he wrote, mainly bec ause “users hate them.”
But wait. Without many people noticing, micropayments have ar rived--
- just not in the way they were originally imagined. The 99 cents
you pay for a song on the Internet is a micropayment. So are th e tiny amounts that some operators of small web sites can earn whenever someone clicks on the ads on their pages. Some sto ck-photography companies sell pictures for as little as $1 each.“Micropayments are here” said Benjamin M. Companie, a lectur er at , “they just have not developed in the way that everybody expected.”
From the earliest days of the Web until around the time of Mr. S hirky’s manifesto, the expectation was that a handful of compan ies would provide platforms---or perhaps a single platform--
- that would enable Web users to pay a penny or a dollar for a b it of content such as a newspaper article, or a research report. Simply clicking a link would complete the transaction （转换）. Sellers of content--- at the time, newspaper companies---
were among the most interested in the idea as they looked for t ax income that didn’t depend on advertising.
44．According to the first paragraph, we can infer that ________ .
A．people once failed to charge Web users
B．all the Internet companies can’t earn profit
C．it’s difficult for Web users to pay online
D．micropayment costs people too much
45．Mr. Shirky predicted that ________.
A．companies on the Internet would earn a lot of money B．Web users would never pay for the websites
C．it was impossible to visit websites for free
D．all the companies on the Internet would go bankrupt （破产）.
46．You will have to pay for it, if you ________.
A．visit some famous websites
B．read latest news on the internet
C．advertise for your products on some websites D．download your favorite songs
47．What is expected by the sellers of content on the Internet? A．Better attitude from Web users.
B．Understanding from Web users.
C．A platform to help them realize micropayment.
D．More and more Web users.
D
Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle （航天飞
机） Challenger, in June, 1983.The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flig
ht especially memorable. Students from two , , high schools, ho wever, are probably to remember Norma rather than Sally when ever they think about the flight.
Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 100 companions along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her su bject, made up the first ant colony （群
体） to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experi ment designed by students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.
The equipment designed by the students for their colony functio ned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientis ts and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astro nauts had all died at some point before the container was return ed to the school and opened. The problem didn’t occur in space , but on the ground after challenger had landed. The container r emained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony w as moved. The hot, dry desert air dried out the colony’s contain er and the ants died from lack of moisture （水分）.
The project was termed success because it did provide useful i nformation. Students will continue their efforts to pinpoint （精确找
到） what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficult ies from reoccurring on future missions. They don’t want to be d
iscouraged either by the demise of the ants or by the $10,000 s huttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants i nto space.
48．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Sally Ride, ’s first woman astronaut.
B．How to keep ants alive in space.
C．How to make equipment for insects in space.
D．An experiment with ants in space.
49．According to the passage, we know that the underlined wo rd “demise” is another word for “__________”.
A．death B．colony C．insect D．moisture
50．We don’t think the project was a failure. This is because __ _______.
A．everything went as smoothly as expected
B．the students had pinpointed exactly the reason C．something important had been learned
D．the students had succeeded in the experiment
51．We can conclude that ants __________ on the next space tr ip.
A．will have to be kept alive in a container full of water
B．will have to be sent into space with the first woman astrona
ut
C．should be put into a container where there is enough food D．should be put into a container which is not too dry

’s No.1 health problem? A report published by the American In stitute of Stress claims the biggest threat to health today is neit her cancer nor AIDS. The report says: “It has been estimated th at 75—
90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress r elated problems.”
It is no exaggeration to say that people today are being attacke d by stress. According to the National Consumers League, “Wo rk is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives （39%）, followed by family （30%）. Othe r sources include health （10%）, concern about the economy （9%） and concern about international conflict and terrorism （4%）.”
However, stress is hardly unique to the . A British survey in 200 5 estimated that “over half a million individuals in believed in 20 04 that they were experiencing work-
related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-
related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated t
hirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in .”
The picture is no less bleak（荒凉
的） in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency fo r Safety and Health at Work, “work-
related stress has been shown to affect millions of European w orkers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey rev ealed that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”
What about Asia? A report issued by a conference held in conc luded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and , have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and it s harmful effects on workers’health.”
52．The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.”（Pa ra. 1） in order to ______.

53．Which of the followings is NOT true?
A．The threat of stress is bigger than cancer and AIDS. B．Stress is always from working and living pressure. C．Some of Americans care about international conflict and ter rorism.
D．A lot of English people become ill as a result of stress. 54．We can infer from the last paragraph that ______. A．Asian people are more willing to develop their countries B．the rapid economic development is the main reason for stre ss
C．some people in Asian countries have health problems from employment stress
D．Asian countries have a better situation of stress than Europ e
55．What’s the best title for this passage?
