contained a book.this chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the library company of philadelphia for a historical treasure a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by deborah logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day,” james green, the librarian told the magazine american libraries.most of the diary is a record of big events in philadelphia. it also includes a description of british soldiers burning washington, d.c. in the war of 1812. she describes president james madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. george washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a french man, and praised her excellent english.the adventure of the lost book began september 4 when cory luxmoore arrived from england to deliver the diary of his ancestor to the library company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.green told american libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. on returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to green, luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.without any delay, green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. “ive felt sick since then,” luxmoore told reporters.according to green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. tom brennan received a reward of $ 1,000, philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and luxmoore told reporters, “its wonderful news. im on high.”46. this article mainly tells about the story of _.a. a lost diary b. deborah logan c. cory luxmoore d. the library company47. from the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by _.a. tom brennan b. an unknown personc. a philadelphia magazine d. the library company of philadelphia48. philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because _.a. it was written in philadelphia b. it tells stories about

c, d, b d. c, a, b, d50. what did cory luxmoore mean when he said “im on high”?a. im rich. b. im famous. c. im excited. d. im lucky. bcomputer people talk about a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate.” but not all experts agree that this is a good idea.one pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is david tebbutt, the founder of computertown uk. although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, david does not see it that way. he says that computertown uk was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate.”david tebbutt thinks computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. the clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. this frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. they are not told what to do, they find out. the computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. people dont have to learn computer terms, but the experts have to explain in easy language. the computers are becoming “people-literate.”51. which of the following is david tebbuts idea on the relationship between people and computers?a. computer learning should be made easier.b. there should be more computer clubs for experts.c. people should work harder to master computer use.d. computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.52. we can infer from the text that “computer-literate” means _.a. being able to afford a computerb. being able to write computer programsc. working with the computer and finding out its valued. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it53. the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that computertowns _.a. help to set up more computer clubsb. bring people to learn to use computersc. bring more experts to work togetherd. help to sell computers to the public54. david tebbutt started computertown uk with the purpose of _.a. making better use of computer expertsb. improving computer programs c. increasing computer salesd. popularising computerscwant to save money when travelling by

you live in london and want to go to a small town 80 miles away for four days?a. big city savers b. monthly returns c. weekend returns d. day returnsdmost animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. you may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. this is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. the sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. so although they can manage without each other, they do better together.sometimes an animal has a plant partner. the relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. this is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. in their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustman”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal need to breathe. if the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.57. some birds like to sit on a sheep because _.a. they can eat its parasites b. they depend on the sheep for existencec. they enjoy travelling with the sheepd. they find the position most comfortable58. the underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to _.a. birds and parasites b. birds and sheepc. parasites and sheep d. sheep, birds and parasites59. it can be learnt from the text that the coral depends on the plant for _.a. comfort b. light c. food d. oxygen60. what does the second paragraph mainly discuss?a. some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.b. some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.c. some plants depend on each other for food.d. some animals live better together.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的a f选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。a. benefits b. shortcoming c. results d. different policies e. history f. public debate many educators believe strong school uniform policies are fundamental to ensuring a sense of equality among students and maintaining discipline in the classroom.61. the school uniform made its first appearance in england during the 16th century. poor students at charity(慈善) schools wore clothes made of inexpensive material in colors that added the kind ideas of charity. in that country, they have since become associated with schools. in canada, publicly funded catholic high schools often require a school uniform.62. in his 1996 state of the union address, bill clinton praised the long beach unified district in southern california for having a district-wide school uniform policy. since that time, arguments about school uniforms have taken place in school districts all over the united states. key points for discussion include easy going, ability to buy and whether or not uniforms should be required for all students.63. although no state has forced a school uniform policy, federal(联邦) courts have gradually increased schools abilities to limit student dress since the 1980s. most dress standards and uniform policies are developed at the district or school level. some states affect only dress standards with no mention of uniforms; others deal with dress standards and uniform policies separately; others include uniforms within dress standards.64. many view school uniforms as a necessary part of school discipline to reduce school violence. some parents believe that school
