she sees is a big box full of people, all breathing in there. it seems very unsafe. and that means sars. so yang got out her bicycle and dusted it off. other chinese who, until recently, appeared to be moving away from the old mode of transportation, seem to be back riding as well. of course, theres no shortage of bikes. there were plenty long before sars showed up. but in recent years, private cars have been growing in large numbers, crowding bicycles off the streets in some of the biggest cities. now sars has brought the bicycle traffic back. crowded trains and buses look less attractive(吸引人的). in shanghai 120,000 more bicycles were registered (登记) in april, well above last years monthly average of 50,000. peoples daily recently reported that bicycle had suddenly become the third most frequently searched term on the nations largest web search engine.however, if bike sales continue upward, it could become a nightmare (噩梦)for traffic planners, who had to contend with the often deadly clash between bikes and motorized vehicles. shanghai officially sees nearly one traffic-related bicycle death a day, a figure that many people here say is probably an understatement (少报). 21. before sars broke out, yang yongfang_. a. was tired of going to work by car b. went to work by bike c. had already sold her bike d. went to work by bus 22. more and more people in shanghai are beginning to ride, because_. a. riding a bike is much more convenient b. riding a bike costs less than taking the bus c. they care more about their health d. the government has been encouraging them to do exercise 23. the writer of the passage_the phenomenon (现象)that bike sales continue upward. a. is strongly against b. is forc. shows no opinion of d. is worried about 24. what is the best title for the passage? a. bikes sell well in shanghai. b. the new fashion. c. back to nature d. shanghai takes on a new look.b sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. though he is only 18 years old and blind, suleyman gokyigk is among the top computer technicians and programmers at intelidata technologies corp. , a large software company with several offices across the united states. after our company united with another one last october, two different computer networks were driving us crazy, recalls douglas braun, the intelidata president. we couldnt even send e-mail to each other. in three weeks mr. gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. none of the companys 350 other employees could have done the job in three months , says mr. braun. suleyman cansee into the heart of the computer. mr. gokyigits gift, as mr. braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. the computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything i want to do, says mr. gokyigit.the young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. mitzi nowakows-ki, an office manager at intelidata, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. through feel, suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight, he says. much of the student programmers speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. when typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). his long, thin fingers fly over keyboard. nothing seems to shake his attention, says mrs. nowa-kowski, his boss.mr. gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. we consider him our top problem solver, says mr. braun. 25. according to mr. braun, suleyman a. can work wonders on computer b. is the best

scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers. ca year after graduation, i was offered a position teaching a writing class. teaching was a profession i had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. i accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of mr. davis. my father went by the same name, and i liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about mr. davis the retired man, or mr. davis the respectable scholar?”the position was offered at the last minute, and i was given two weeks to prepare, a period i spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “hello, class. im mr. davis.” sometimes i would give myself an aggressive voice. sometimes i would sound experienced. but when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true mr. davis was there. i sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.i arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. i had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. i saw nine students along a long table. i handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as i required. “all right then,” i said. “okey, here we go.” then i opened my briefcase and realized that i had never thought beyond this moment. i had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. i had imagined that i would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. every student would yell. “calm down, youll all get your turn. one at a time, one at a time!”a terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, i inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.28. the author

down the students d. he thought it was an easy topic第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to
