Google is a powerful tool for users of the electronic communications system called the Internet. Computer users connecting to the Internet can use Google to search for any word, name or idea. Google finds e1ectronic documents, or web pages, world news, information - almost anything. More than eighty- million people use the Google web page each month.
Two young men, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, started Google in l998. At that time,
they were students at
Google was not the first Internet search engine. But people found it easy to use. Today, Google performs two-hundred-million searches every day. It can search more than four-hundred-million web pages at one time. Yet each search takes less than one second. Google has even become an action word: to "Google" means to search for information on the Internet.
The search service that Google offers is free. But Google also provides links to web pages of companies that sell goods and services. Companies pay Google every time someone uses it to connect with their web pages. The amount a company pays depends on its size.
Google's business has grown very quickly. The company made almost 10,000,000 dollars in 2003. Its profit was more than 1,000,000 dollars.
Late last month, GoogIe announced that it wanted to become a public company. This means that GoogIe will sell its ownership shares to the public. The company hopes to raise about 2,700,000 dollars this way. But it .has not said how many shares it would sell. It also has not set a price for the shares or the date when they would be sold.
Some business experts have criticized Google for not releasing enough information about the company before the sale. But there is no question that investors are interested in the company 's shares.
People who may gain the most from the sale are Mr. Brin and Mr. Page. Each man owns l5% of the company. After the sale, they could both be worth several thousand million dollars.
56. What is Google?
A. A computer game. B. A part of computer hardware.
C. A search engine. D. A computer brand.
57. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Google?

D. The company is going to be sold to the public entirely.
58. Now Google makes money_____.
A. by selling its shares to the public
B. by providing links to web pages of companies
C. from users of a company 's web page
D. by providing search service
59. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Something About Google
B. Two Will-be Millionaires
C. Google Is Going to Have a Bright Future
D. Google Goes to Public

Pills help forget bad memories
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence (暴力) and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physica1 and emotional hurt. Often they again and again experience these experiences in their terrible dreams.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill (藥丸), which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly remove, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug
on people in the
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pi1ls that prevent or treat soldiers' terrible memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin(毀壞) people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman. A professor of psychiatry(精神病學(xué)) at Harvard Medical School. "This could learn a lot from that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our characters. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time, which makes us who we are. I 'm not sure we 'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (倫理學(xué)家).

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents.
They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.
For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It it one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry at their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble, it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control. If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
72. This article is particularly written for __________.
A. parents B. both parents and their children
C. young people D. teachers
73. According to the text, young people tend to ___________.
A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything
B. do things without thinking carefully ahead
C. be very strict with themselves
D. think in the same way as their parents do
74. Older people tend to _________.
A. remember how they themselves felt when they were young
B. act on the spot without thinking very carefully
C. plan things before they act
D. ask for advice from others
75. According to the passage, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because they_________ .
A. don’t feel they belong to the world of the older people
B. do not want to get into trouble
C. feel they are cleverer than the older people
D. want to show they have grown up

Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children. He threw _ 36 _ at them and even shot at them with a gun. At least, that was what we had _ 37 _.
His small farm bordered our neighborhood _ 38 _ my younger sister, Leigh Ann, and I lived when we were growing up. His farm was long and narrow. It held two_ 39 _. One was his beautiful fruit.

“Come here,”” he said, _ 49_ to one of his apple trees. _ 50_ shaking, we went over to him. He _ 51_ several ripe juicy red apples. “Take these home”, he_ 52_. We took the apple with 53_ hearts and ran all the way home. But of course, Leigh and I ate the apples.
As time went on, we often went through Old Man Donovan’s farm and he _ 54_ giving us fruit. One day, we stopped by and talked to him for hours. We realized that we had found _ 55_ treasure: the sweet kind heart behind his gruff voice.

A
As the first report of the accident came in,
He interviewed the first witness （證人）almost at once, making sure that everything was done that could be done to put him at his ease. However, the witness was obviously nervous and Burton took great pains to go over what he said thoroughly, hoosing and checking each word carefully and taking the man’s statement down himself.The witness had called the police and he’d waited until the ambulances began to arrive then when the first police car arrived on the scene he’d been asked to report to the station which was what he had done.
When he had gone, Burton put his head in
his hands and considered before asking for the next witness. The man couldn’t
be regarded as a hundred percent witness because he had been behind a wall
when the explosion occurred. But in spite of his nerves,
Well there would be other descriptions and no doubt all these would be put into place and the whole picture would become clear. He raised his head and pressed the bell on his desk.
“Next witness please,” he said.
56．Why
did
A．Because the ground floor room had a small waiting ?room.
B．Because it would be easier for him to interview the witnesses.

57．How did the witness feel during the interview ?
A．Obviously somewhat frightened. B．Excited at seeing the incident.
C．Anxious to give a report to the police. D．Calm and unhurried.
58．The underlined part “ a hundred percent witness ”most probably means .
A．a(chǎn) patient and talkative person B．a(chǎn) well-informed witness
C．the only person who was interviewed in the incident
D．a(chǎn) person who watched the whole incident
59．Burton’s final impression of the witness was that .

B
The problem of
leisure is new. Until very recent times people worked each day to the limit of
their strength. Of course there were always a privileged (有特權(quán)的)few who had
leisure; but most men had to work 12, 14, or even 16 hours a day, six days a
week. As late as 1840 the average factory worker labored 72 hours a week.
"Sunup to sundown" was the farmer's day, or as another phrase puts
it, "from can to can't."
Today, working
less than a 40-hour week, people enjoy more leisure time. Therefore, the wise
use of leisure time has become an important problem for everyone, young or old.
It is a particularly difficult problem for the sick, the aged, and those who
have retired from earning a living. Those people have so much leisure that it
is hard for them to find interesting and worthwhile ways to use it .
However short the
work week becomes, work is still the most important part of life. We do not
work to get leisure and the pleasures leisure brings us; rather, we use leisure
wisely so that work itself can become awarding and enjoyable. The feeling of
success at doing one's daily work―whether it is a job, maintaining a home, or
going to school―depends largely on coming to it each day with fresh energy and
active interest.
Leisure and
recreation (消遺)go together, though they are not necessarily the same thing.
"Recreation" has an obvious meaning. It is the kind of leisure
activity that brings "re-creation" of strength and spirit. When one
speaks of making good use of leisure, he means choosing recreational activities
which contribute to health, growth, and spirit.
60.How to spend leisure time wisely is not a particularly difficult problem for
people _______.
A. who are very
busy everyday
B. who are sick
in bed
C. who are aged
and in good health
D. who have
retired from work
61.It can be inferred from the passage that _________ .
A. we work hard
so that we can enjoy more leisure.
B. we enjoy
leisure so that we can come back to work with energetically.
C. Leisure can
bring us a lot of pleasures that work can not.
D. The success
of work has little to do with how we spend our leisure time.
62. What is the relationship between leisure and recreation, according to the
author?
A. Leisure and
recreation are closely related.
B. Leisure and
recreation are the same.
C. Recreation
covers all kinds of leisure activities.
D. Recreation
does not belong to any leisure activity.
63. From the passage we know that __________.
A. leisure has
been an old problem since ancient times
B. leisure can
not be replaced as the most important part of life
C. our success
in work is mostly determined by whether we use leisure wisely
D. good
recreational activities can help improve health, growth and spirit
C
Buy now, pay
later. Credit cards give people that choice. Those billions of small pieces of
plastic in use all over the world make it easy to buy things. But people who
use credit cards unexpectedly can soon find themselves heavily in debt.
Cardholders may not think about it, but they borrow money from a bank or
other lender each time they charge something. They avoid interest charges if
they pay their bill in full each month. But if they only make the minimum
payment, the lowest required, it may take years to pay off a debt. Interest is
continually charged on the unpaid amount of money.
A credit card
may have a number of costs. First, there is the interest charge on purchases,
known as the annual percentage rate, or A.P.R. In the United States right now,
the average is between thirteen and fourteen to keep them. Cardholders may have
to pay cash advance fees if they withdraw (取) money from a credit card.
There are also fees if they go over their credit limit, or if a payment is
late. Lenders may also raise interest rates as punishment.
In the
United States, credit card fees have become a political problem. Congress has threatened
(威脅) to take action
against what critics call abusive behavior by lenders. Yet getting a credit
card has become a lot easier for most people. Maybe too easy: People receive
offers in the mail of pre-approved cards that they never asked for. Many cards
offer low rates at first, especially if people agree to move their balance from
another card, absolutely for free.
About half of all Americans have at least two credit cards. And the
credit rating agency Experian says fourteen percent of the population has more
than ten. Jeanne Hogarth at the Federal Reserve, the central bank, says the
average family has four credit cards. But families that carry a balance,
meaning they do not pay off their statements each month, have an average of
five.
In 1988 Americans had three
hundred thirty billion dollars in credit card debt. Last year it was eight
hundred forty billion. In the latest government study, the average credit card
debt for all households was more than three thousand dollars. But for those
that carried a balance, the average was five thousand three hundred.
64. Credit cardholders can prevent themselves from paying interest charges by
______.
A. putting more money into the
bank B.
paying cash advance fees
C. paying their bill in full each
month D. making the minimum
payment
65. Which of the following is NOT included in the costs of a credit card?
A.
A.P.R B. Going over the card limit.
C. Late
payment.
D. Moving balance from another bank.
66. We can infer from the text that _______ is/are seriously concerned about
what some lenders are doing with their credit cards.
A. the Federal
Reserve
B. cardholders
C. Congress D. the credit rating
agency Experian
67. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Credit Cards Are Easy to Get,
But Harder to Pay Off B. What Are Credit Cards
C. How to Apply for Credit
Cards
D.
Say No to Credit Cards
D
I'm usually
fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are
either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they
were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are
practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report
which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than
children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to
17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for
mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America's kids
so stressed? The report mentions two main causes: increasing physical isolation
―brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among
other things ―and a growing feeling that the world is a more dangerous place.
Considering that we can't
turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation deal
with it.
At the top of the list
is nurturing develop a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No
child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and
protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger
connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your
family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face
relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount
of virtual(虛擬的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video
games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations
for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended
Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your
daily routine. It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good
model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to
ruin your life.
68. The underlined word skeptical could be best replaced by ______.
A. puzzled B.
doubtful C.
sure D.
curious
69. What does the
author mean when he says "we can't turn the clock back" in paragraph
3?
A. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B. The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D. It's impossible to forget the past.
70. According to
an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally
ill 50 years ago____.
A. were less isolated
physically B.
were probably less self-centered
C. probably suffered less from
anxiety D.
were considered less individualistic
71. The first and
most important thing parents should do to help their children is ____.
A. to provide them with a safer
environment B. to lower
their expectations for them
C. to get them more involved
socially
D. to set a good model for them to follow
72. What
conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A. Anxiety, though unavoidable, can
be dealt with.
B. Children's anxiety has been a
huge problem since the 1950s.
C. Children's anxiety can be got
rid of with more parental care.
D. Anxiety, if properly controlled,
may help children become mature.
第二節(jié) 簡(jiǎn)答題（共3小題， 滿分6分）
閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)第73至第75小題的具體要求，簡(jiǎn)要回答問(wèn)題。
Many cities
around the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of
production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have
contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of
glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are
difficult to get rid of.
However,
today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the
products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a
product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the
environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
A recent
study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety
of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the
way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that
is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years
ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are
hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that the product is
green. Some companies have made the manufacture of clean and safe
products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
The concern for
a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do
business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it,
throw it away, and forget it”. The public pressure is on, and gradually
business is cleaning up its act.
73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “manufacture”.
74.Why are companies rethinking how they do business? (回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)12個(gè))

Inflation refers to a rise in prices that causes the purchasing power of a nation to fall. Inflation is a normal economic development as long as the annual percentage remains low; once the percentage rises over a pre-determined level, it is considered an inflation crisis.
There are many causes for inflation, depending on a number of factors. For example, inflation can happen when governments print too much money to deal with a crisis. As a result, prices end up rising at an extremely high speed to keep up with the extra money. This is called the demand-pull, in which prices are forced upwards because of a high demand.
Another common cause of inflation is a rise in production costs, which leads to an increase in the price of the final product. For example, if raw materials increase in price, this leads to the cost of production increasing, which in turn leads to the company increasing prices to maintain steady profits. Rising labor costs can also lead to inflation. As workers demand wage increases, companies usually chose to pass on those costs to their customers.
Inflation can also be caused by international lending and national debts. As nations borrow money, they have to deal with interests, which in the end cause prices to rise as a way of keeping up with their debts. A deep drop of the exchange rate can also result in inflation, as governments will have to deal with differences in the import/export level.
Finally, inflation can be caused by federal taxes put on consumer products such as cigarettes or fuel. As the taxes rise, suppliers often pass on the burden to the consumer; the catch, however, is that once prices have increased, they rarely go back, even if the taxes are later reduced. Wars are often cause for inflation, as governments must both pay back the money spent and repay the funds borrowed from the central bank. War often affects everything from international trading to labor costs to product demand, so in the end it always produces a rise in prices.
