Please deposit sixty cents _36_the first three minutes.”If you are placing the call in New York State, dont try to ask the operator a question. There is no one on the _37_with you. The voice you hear comes from a computer. It has vocabulary of seventy words in its memory.

In case you spelled the name_52_, the operator may still be able to find it.All new phones are also entered_53_this computer system. The information operators, therefore, have the up-to-the-minute listings. At the end of the year, the computer is hooked to a machine_54_automatically set the type for the new telephone_55_.

His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours-and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized across the U.S and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen.The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking, as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (控告). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (骚扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do: The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and dont see other children again.56. In the first paragraph, “spokesmen” refers to_.A. BusinessmenB. Political leadersC. Organizers of the activitiesD. Santa Clauses57. The passage implies that job of Santa Claus is_.A .well-paidB. very hardC. worth doingD. dangerous58.According to the third paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for_.A. doing something against the lawB. hanging around the diner tableC. being lazy and sleeping in bed for daysD. not playing their roles as expected59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Christmas: Not a Good Festival for SantasB. Is Santa Claus Really Alive?C. A Christmas StoryD. What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?BEach year several thousand of people are killed on the roads in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured, or killed in road accidents.If you are in England and if you listen to the eight oclock news from BBC, you will often hear news of road accidents. You may hear something like this: “On Monday evening, at about twenty minutes to ten, a cyclist was knocked down by a truck at the crossing of Oak Road and High Street in Corydon. The cyclist had died from his injuries. Anyone who saw accident please get in touch with New Scotland Yard, telephone number White Hall one two one two.”Accidents are often caused by carelessness. If everybody obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer. How can we make the road safer?In Great Britain traffic keeps on to the left. Motor-cars, trucks, buses and cyclists must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right. Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look right, look left and look right again. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, that there is nothing coming, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children, or very old people, or blind people waiting to cross the road, it is a kind act to help them to cross the road in safety.We must teach young children to cross the road safety. We must always give them a good example. Small children ought not to play in the streets.60. How many people are injured or killed in road accidents in Great Britain every year?A. Several hundred.B. Between one and two hundred people.C. Between 100,000 and 200,000 people.D. Between 1,000 and 2,000 people61. “ In Great Britain traffic keeps to the left.” means_.A. In Great Britain all the cars, buses and etc. must be driven along the left side of the roadB. In Great Britain all the cars, buses and etc. must be driven to the left side of the roadC. In Great Britain only trucks must be driven along the left side of the roadD. In Great Britain all the cars, buses and etc. must be stopped on the left side of the road62. If you see small children, or very old people or blind people, waiting to cross the road, you should help them_.A. to cross the road safelyB. walk along the road in safetyC. cross the road in a hurryD. to hurry to cross the road C Mean and median are two terms that are used in statistics. Many people think that these two terms refer to the same thing, but actually mean and median mean different things. Both mean and median are calculated from a series of numbers. Any group of numbers has both a mean and a median. The mean is calculated by adding up all the numbers in a series and then dividing this sum by the number quantities in the series. For example, lets say that you have test scores for seven students. The scores are 90, 87,83,74,72,68 and 59. After adding up all the numbers, you have to divide this sum total533by the number of quantities. In this case, 533 divided by 7 is 76.1, so 76.1 is the mean. The mean tells you the expected, average score on the test.The median is somewhat different though it is also a kind of average. The median of a series is the point that divides or separates the series into two parts. Half of the quantities are on one side of the median and the other are on the other side of the median. The first step is to put all the scores in order from the highest to the lowest. Then, count the number of quantities. The middle quantity is the median. In the example here, we take the fourth from the top and the fourth from the bottom. The median is 74.For most series of scores, especially for large series of scores, the mean and the median are generally close to each other. But this isnt always the case.To explain the difference, lets say that an English test was given to a group of 5 students. The scores are as follows: 42,36,98,44,30. If you calculate the mean for these scores, youll get 50. However this mean does not accurately show the common, normal result on the test since most students scored below 50. So the average or mean is sometimes misleading.However, 42 is the middle score for the group. In this case, the median is a more realistic estimate of the result that we should expect from this test.63. The mean is _.A. really the same as the arithmetic average of the numbersB. totally different from the median of the numbersC. the middle quantity of the series of numbersD. equal to the halfway of the numbers64. If we have a series of number: 87,74,66,61,45,42 and 24, _ is the mean.A. 49B. 61C. 57D. 59.665. If we have a series of number: 95,80,50,43,38, _ is the median.A. 63B. 50C.61.2D5466. When is the median a more accurate estimate of a typical score?A. The time we have a large series of scores.B. The time the numbers are quite different from each other.C. The time there are four small numbers and a big number.D. The time we have very high and very low scores.DA childs world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, the true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to be responsible for the christening (施洗礼) of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so undeniable that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing protection against the boredom of later years, the inattention of things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength.If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Parents often have a sense of inadequacy when facing on the one hand the eager, sensitive mind of a child and, on the other, a world of complex physical nature, confused by a life so various and unfamiliar that it seems hopeless to reduce it to order and knowledge. In a mood of self-defeat, they exclaim, “How can I possibly teach my child about naturewhy, I d
