The power of the blast shattered（使粉碎）nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless（不生锈的）steel rubbish can to pieces.One passer-by，identified（确认）only as Zhang，said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene.Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment.

This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don’t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess sai d.60．Which of the following statements is true?A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.D．More women shopped online than men in 2004.61．From the passage we can infer that________.A．men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB．women usually decide what to buy in the familyC．the Internet is used in all the shops.D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.62．According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.A．is unsafe B．is convenient C．is a waste of time D．is cheaper 63．What can we know from the passage?A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.B．Shopping online is fun for women.C．Shopping off-line provides better service.D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.CA few days ago I asked my sons’ governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but--- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but --- still not a word.“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but--- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s sh oes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well... if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,”she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this ‘merci’?”I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’？”“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）---to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”64．What shocked the writer was Julia’s ________.A. nervousness in front of her bossB. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about moneyD. unwilling to express herself 65．The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?”He was actually telling the governess ________.A. to be more aggressive(侵略的)B. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her rightD. to live independently66．At the end of the story, the writer said,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”to show ________.A. his understanding of Julia’s anxietyB. his worry about Julia’s futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of the weak67．From the story, we can tell that Julia’s employer was ________.A. greedy but honestB. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgivingD. none of the aboveDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he’s got a phone message.“But I didn’t hear the ring，”you say.“Because you are too old，”your brother answers.Don’t get ma d. He’s just telling you the truth.Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. It’s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched （频率）ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around.Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer （蜂鸣器）designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.68．Students in some Manhattan schools have begun using the technology，so they can_________．A．talk in class without being heard by their teachersB．use cellphones to send messages in classC．hear better in class than their teachersD．improve their hearing ability69．The underlined phrase “the other way around” implies the ________.A．adults are annoyed nowB．teenagers are annoyed nowC．adults are not annoyed nowD．both adults and teenagers are annoyed now70．According to this passage，what will happen to a person when he is over twenty?A．He can hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.B．He can hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.C．He cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.D．He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.71．It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A．older people hear no better than teenagersB．older people had better not use cellphonesC．teenagers hear better than old peopleD．teenagers had better not use cellphonesEIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography---Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the filmthemselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures“snapshot”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.72．The passage is mainly about ________.A. the invention of camerasB. a kind of new art - photographyC. the development of photographyD. the important dates in the history of photography73．The first pictures of a war were taken by________.A. a French photographer in the 1840sB. an American photographer in the 1860sC. a German reporter in the 1880sD. a French artist in the 1890s74．Photography can also be an art form because artists can ________.A. take anything they likeB. keep a record of real lifeC. take photos of the famousD. show ideas and feeling in pictures 75．According to the passage, which of the followings shows the correct order?a．Photographs became popular in newspapers.b．Photographers carried processing equipment while taking pictures.c．The invention of small handheld cameras made photography easier.d．Daguerre invented a kind of photograph called daguerreotype.e．Brady took pictures of famous people.A. e, a, d, b, cB. d, b, e, c, aC. b, e, c, a, dD. d, c, e, a, b第二卷（共35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题，满分10分）Once upon a time ,there was a poor man .He had anorange tree on his garden .
