Passage 2
Two years ago, I moved to a new neighborhood. There seemed to be very few people in this area who are without telephones, so I expected to get a new phone quickly. I applied for one as soon as I moved to my new house, "We are supplying many new phones in your area," an engineer told me "A lot of people want new phones at the moment and the company is hiring fewer engineers than last year so as to save money. A new phone won’t cost you much money, but it will take you a little time. We can’t do anything for you before December. You need a lot of patience if you’re waiting for a new phone and you need a few friends whose phones you can use as well." Fortunately, I had both. December came and went, but there was no sign of a phone. I went to the company’s local office to protest(抗议). "They told me I’d have a phone by December," I protested. "Which year?” the assistant asked.

Passage 3
The human nose has given to the language of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cytano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man courageous, manly and wise.
A famous woman poet wished that she had tow noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world.
Man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human weakness, anger, pride, jealousy and revenge.
In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling---- pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.
The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.
There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on our face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling.
1. The passage is about ___.
A. An organ, with which people can breathe and smell.

Passage4
Some problems with the Internet
The Internet is not perfect. There are many problems with it.
The Internet is not organized. There is no one in charge of the Internet. It’s sometimes difficult to find what you are looking for. It’s also easy to get the wrong information on the "net".
Some businessmen cheat people on the Internet. Internet thieves can steal credit card(信用卡) numbers. Some advertisers send spam to e-mail boxes. E-mail boxes often fill up with these unwanted advertisements.
Illegal(非法的)businesses can operate on the Internet. These businesses sell X-rated materials, cigarettes and alcohol(酒) to teenagers.

The Internet can be dangerous to computers, too. Some people who have evil intentions enjoy causing problems for other people they don’t even know. They create computer viruses(病毒).A computer can get virus by downloading(下载) a program that has a virus in it. Some viruses come by e-mail.
A virus can destroy the data a person has saved in computer files(文件).A virus can cause a computer to crash. A virus can also reproduce itself!

Passage 5
Do We Really Know Our Own Culture
Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country.
Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national characteristics(特点),and sometimes a lot of the information they contain is untrue.
In a survey recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything which they thought was typical(有代表性的)of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, village inns. English folk dancing, football hooligans(足球流氓),umbrellas. English casteless cricket(板球),and fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these features can be found in Britain culture, they do not reflect the real interests of ordinary culture, they do not reflect the real interests of ordinary British people. They are, in fact, simply stereotypes(成见)----that is, general features which people wrongly think are typical. What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture! If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much more false would their impression of other cultures be!
1. If we stay a long time in a foreign country,______
A. we will sometimes forget about the culture of our own country
B. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country.
C. we will usually become aware of our own ignorance (无知) about its culture

Passage 6
We live in a dangerous world. The figures(数据)for crime(罪行)go up year by year. If you were attacked(攻击) in the street, would you be able to defend yourself Not very well probably, especially if someone was pointing a gun at you. We all see a lot of violence(暴力)in films, but recently some programmers on television showed how people can defend themselves without guns. For example, in one film a woman was attacked from behind. She threw the man, who was heavier and stronger than she was, over her head. Then she held him tightly on the ground. How She knew judo(柔道).
Jiu-jitsu, as judo is sometimes called, means "muscle science” in Japanese. The student of judo needs to learn a lot about the body, its bones and muscles. Judo uses a number of” falls", "holds" and "throws”. Someone who does not know judo cannot defend himself against them. If you know judo you can defend yourself against a person who is stronger than you.(You had better not practice judo on your friends unless they can fall without hurting themselves!)Being strong is one thing, but using the bobby wisely is another. In judo you use the other person’s body to help you. You "throw” him to the ground and” hold" him there, so that he can’t move. Of course, it takes time and practice, but knowing judo is useful. In a violent(暴力的)world you ought to be able to defend yourself.

Passage 7
These days, people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.
Many American people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concert you can put on what you like-from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as the US men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many ways, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sports-clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look too different from everyone else.

We have no idea about when men first began to use salt. But we do know that it had been used in many different ways throughout the history.

About one hundred and fifty years before, in the year 1553, if a man book more than his share of salt, he would be thought to have broken the law and would be seriously punished.

James had a terrible toothache, and it kept him awake all night. His check was swollen(肿大的)and it was difficult for him to eat or drink. Anything very hot or cold made the toothache worse. If James ate anything sweet the pain was unbearable.
James did not want to take off from work, so he tried to bear the pain. He took a pain-killer every hour.
However the tooth hurt so much when he tried to eat his lunch that he knew he had to go to the dentist. He asked his boss for time off. His boss could see that James was in great pain, and told him to take the rest of the day off to have a rest. The dentist agreed to see James immediately.
"Open your mouth," he said, "and let’s have a look." James opened his mouth.
"Which tooth is giving you trouble " the dentist asked next. James touched the tooth with his finger. The dentist x-rayed the tooth, and then he put the x-ray against bright light. "Oh, yes." He said, "I can see the problem. There is a cavity in the tooth. I’m afraid the hole is too big to fill. I must take the tooth out."
“That’s all right." James said. "Just stop the pain." The dentist gave James an injection and quickly pulled out the tooth. He dropped it into the garbage can.

Passage 12
What’s language for some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words --the longer the lists, the better? That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly." But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first.
1. Language is used to __________ .
A. express oneself B. practice grammar rules
C. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words
2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he________ .

D. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English.
4. If too many native speakers break a rule,________ .
A. what they use will become rightB. they are against the law
C. they should say sorry to othersD. they will become heroes
5. When we speak a foreign language, we should________ .
A. speak in Chinese way B. speak by the rules
C. speak to native speakers D. not be afraid of making mistakes

Passage 61
When you watch a movie in the cinema, you may wonder how “the moving picture” is made and where the voice, noises and music come from. Now here is the answer.
In modern times, the middle part of a cinema film has lots of small photographs, each one of which is different from the one before it. Each photograph is brought in front of a strong light, and there it stops for a very small part of a second. This photograph, therefore, appears on the screen, and we see it. Then the light is covered and the next photograph is moved to the position in front of the strong light. Meanwhile, the metal cover turns away from the light. Thus, the second photograph is shown on the screen. This is done again and again, twenty-four times a second, and we think we are watching a moving picture on the screen. But nothing on the screen actually moves. “The moving picture” is in fact made up of a lot of bits. We see about 86,400 different pictures every hour, but none of them moves.
The voices, noises and the music are recorded on the side of the cinema film. The record looks like marks of strange shapes. The side of the film passes in front of another light, and the rays of the light which pass through change as the marks change. These marks have been made from the voices and other sound of the people and events in front of the cinema camera when the film is being made. The marks may be considered as “printed sounds”.
1. When a cinema film is shown, each photograph appears on the screen for _____.
A. one twenty-third of a second B. one twenty-fourth of a second
C. a part of a second D. one twenty-fifth of a second
2. We see moving pictures on the screen because _____.
A. We see about 86,400 different pictures every hour

C. photographs change quickly
D. both B and C
3. A cinema film is made up of _____.
A. small photographs and a strong light
B. small photographs and the record of the sound on the side
C. a lot of bits
D. voices, noises and music
4. In the sentence “Then the light is covered...” can you tell by what the light is covered?
A. The screen. B. Marks of strange shape.
C. A metal cover. D. The sound record.
5. The sound record _____.
A. sounds strange
B. looks as irregular marks

Passage 18
We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf. It stood outside a furniture shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack (车顶架) . I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too. As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake (超车) ?”

One of the offices came to me. “Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?” I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I lived just down the road.”
He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed, “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there!

Passage 23
British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry ,so newspapermen write as few words as possible .They tell their readers at once what happened ,where ,when and how it happened and what was the result : how many people were killed ,what change was done and so on .Readers want the fact(事实) set out as fully and accurately as possible .Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident.

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way.

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (* people who buy something from a shop).

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed，the word has had many different meaning.

We all maximize（扩大） the meaning of ”cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.

Passage 41
We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made "surfing" the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.
1. The Internet has a history of more than ___ years.
A. sixty B. ten C. thirty D. twenty

Passage 42
Pollution
The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modem traffic and modern communication means (通讯设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Passage 43
Long, long ago there were only a few thousand people in the world. These people move form place to place over the land, hunting animals for food.
No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any more. They could stay in one place and grow it.
People began to live near one another. And so the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew very big. When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities grew very big.

Passage 44
In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.
In that country, you shake your head to mean ‘yes’— a nod means ‘no’ . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe, it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting, talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid touching the head of an adult ——it’s just not done in Thailand .
1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .
A. were foreignersB. didn’t have tickets
C. made a loud noiseD. didn’t line up for the bus
2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.
A. learn the language of the country
B. understand the manners and customs of the country
C. have enough time and money
D. make friends with the people there
3. In India it is considered impolite ___________.
A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.
B. to pass food with the left hand.
C. to eat food with your hands.
D. to help yourself at table.
4. To cross one’s legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.
A. a common habitB. an important manner
C. a serious trouble D. a bad manner

Passage 47
Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”
They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.
The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn’t know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.

Little Tom down the street calls our dog “The keep dog”. Zip is a sheep dog. But when Tom tries to say “Sheep”, it comes out "keep". And in a way Tom is right. Zip is always bringing things home for us to keep! I’ll tell you about some of them. Zip’s first present was a shoe. It was made of green silk. We didn’t know how Zip found the shoe. But after a moment Mary, my big sister, told me the shoe had a strange smell. I nodded(点头)and held my nose. “What do you think it is?” It smells like something for cleaning. I think someone tried to clean a spot (污点) off the shoe. Then he put it at the door to dry. “Along came Zip.
