(A)
Increasingly over the last few years, we have become familiar with the range of small electronic device s or “smart” accessories (附件,饰品) . Pocket heart -rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways.
As a scientist at New York University. Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market. One of these was the so-called " frown (皱眉)headband". Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned. Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead -each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal.
Another computer scientist, Steven Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see .Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you're not familiar with the dishes on the menu. If you are wearing a pair of Steven's glasses, all you have to do is glance above the restaurant’s doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows t o the Internet,
offering you full details of the meals served inside. The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches, give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors with
patient information while they carry out operations.
At the moment, Steven's invention looks more like a large ski mask than a pair of glasses.
It's a headset connected to a hand-held computer and a Global Positioning System ( GPS ) receiver, which tracks the wearer's position. But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology improves.
And, of course, this new technology has a fashionable as well as a useful application. A chemical engineer named Robin Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring, can give off different smells according to a person's mood. That, of course, may or may not appeal to you. And, in the end, it is shoppers, not scientists , who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and which are sure to join history's long list of crazy inventions. It is clear, however,that as computers get smaller and cheaper. They will pop up in all sorts of easily-wearable accessories, even in the buttons on your coat. What’s more, this is something
that's going to happen a lot sooner than we all expect.

One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. “One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states." said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.
In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the laws in the last decade .In some ,the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 " Toubon law' in France. but the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are oftendismissed as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty of controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.
It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the 'purity" of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbedforeign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but the has not been a barrier to acquiring prestige and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of state regulation is that it bas never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.
The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon- especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields.Public communication, education and new modes of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.
46. Neville Alexander believes that .
A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries
B. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure
C. globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trends
D. globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa
47 . The underlined word " futile" (in paragraph 2) most probably means ""
A. useless
B. practical
C. workable
D. unnecessary
48. Why do many English-speaking countries not support the language protection effortsdescribed
in the passage?
A. They think language protection laws are ineffective.
B. They want their language to spread to other countries.
C. They have a long history of taking words from other languages.
D. It reduces a language's ability to acquire international importance.
49. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. English has taken over fields like public communication and education.
B. Europeans have long realized the need to protect their national Languages.
C. Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.
D. Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.
50. The best title for the passage is .
A. Fighting against the rule of English
B. Globalization and multi-language trends

D. to maintain the purity of language by law
(C)
Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXERRECEIVFSLIFFSENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July.

Paddy was still weeping. But not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes.

Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, “Well, Fee,we won'tgo. But we must make sure he is taken care of.How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Fra nk?”
The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes. Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out .Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know"

We all know the story of "The tortoise and the hare". The hare lost because he was overconfident. So slow-and-steady wins the race. But did you know the tortoise and hare raced three more times? After his loss the hare challenged the tortoise to a second race and this time was without stopping from start to finish. There was no doubt that he won. The lesson this time was that fast-and-consistent beats slow-and-steady. Then the tortoise challenged the hare to a third race. over a slightly different route. The hare ran at top speed until he reached a broad river. Although the finishing line was just a kilometre past the river the hare had no way of crossing and once more the slow-and-steady swimming tortoise came out on top.
The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become good friends. They realized they could perform better together than separately. So they decided to have one more race. But this time they would work as a team. They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank. There the tortoise took over and swam across the river with the hare on his back. On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together, much more quickly than they had been able to alone. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.

Dear sir,
I'm writing to complain about a pair of sneakers I recently purchased/bought from your website. What I ordered was a pair of black size-nine shoes but I received a pair of white, size-8.5 shoes instead. Worse still, there was a ten-day delay in delivering my shoes, which should have been received on April 10. For the above reasons, I demand that either a new pair black size-nine shoes should be posted to me immediately or I should be given a full refund. Also, if I send back the wrong shoes, will your company pay for the postage?
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua 第二节：读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）
The passage describes four races between the hare and the tortoise and analyses the moral learned from each race. In the last race, they learned that they could achieve greater success and satisfaction through co-operation.
I think the story can teach us that when we work together we can achieve more than when we compete. It is a win-win effect. The story reminds me of my experience when I first came to this school. My classmate, Li Hua, showed great talent in science studies while I was pretty good at history and economics. I feared that Li Hua would outperform me in the exams so I avoided helping him with his history and economics and regarded him as my competitor. It was not until Li Hua suggested that we should work together that I understood the importance and benefit of co-operation. We shared learning methods and experience and helped each other. As a result, we both made progress in our studies and became top-ten students.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s good to be individually brilliant, but working as a team will always beat individual performance.。
