A Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bagThe bag contained a bookThis chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure a 120page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan，“a woman who knew everybody in her day，”James Green，the librarian told the magazine American LibrariesMost of the diary is a record of big events in PhiladelphiaIt also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington，DCin the war of 1812She describes President James Madison on horseback as“perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled daysGeorge Washington，she writes，mistook her for the wife of a French man，and Praised her excellent EnglishThe adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor（祖先） to the Library Company，which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diaryGreen 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 personOn returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green，Luxmoore was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxiWithout any delay，Green began calling every taxi company in the city，with no luck“Ive felt sick since then，”Luxmoore told reportersAccording to Green，no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office buildingTomBrennan received a reward（奖励） of1，000，Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history，and Luxmoore told reporters，“Its wonderful newsIm on high”51This article mainly tells about the story of_Aa lost diaryBDeborah LoganCCory LuxmooreDthe Library Company52From the text，we learn that the diary is now owned by_ATom

become“computer-literate”But not all experts（专家） agree that this is a good ideaOne Pioneer，in Particular，who disagrees is David Tebbutt，the founder of ComputertownUKAlthough many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer，David does not see it that wayHe 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 buthe insists there is an important difference between the twoThe clubs are for people who havesome computer knowledge alreadyThis frightens away nonexperts，who are happier going toComputertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on，with experts to encouragethem and answer any questions they haveThey are not told what to do，they find outThecomputer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers，but have to be able to answerall questions people askPeople dont have to learn computer terms（术语），but the experts haveto explain in plain languageThe computers are becoming“peopleliterate”56Which of the following is David Tebbutts idea on the relationship between people and computers？AComputer learning should be made easierBThere should be more computer clubs for expertsCPeople should work harder to master computer useDComputers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them57We can infer from the text that“computerliterate”means_Abeing able to afford a computerBbeing able to write computer programsCworking with the computer and finding out its valueDunderstanding the computer and knowing how to use it58The underlined word“it”in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns_Ahelp to set up more computer clubsBbring people to learn to use computersCbring more experts to work togetherDhelp to sell computers to the public59David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of_Amaking better use of computer expertsBimproving computer programsCincreasing computer salesDpopularising computers C Want to save money when travelling by train？Here are some ways Day ReturnsThis ticket can save you up to 45 on

ReturnsDDay Returns61A man bought himself a ticket of 15 and three tickets for his family with a family railcardHow much did he pay？A44B29C24D15D Maybe tenyearold Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father，“But，Dad，you cantbe healthy if youre dead”Dad，in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run，had forgotten to wear hissafety belt-a mistake 75 of the US population make every dayThe big question is whyThere have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars someforty years agoThe following are three of the most commonMyth Number One：Its best to be“thrown clear”of a serious accidentTruth：Sorry，but any accident serious enough to“throw you clear”is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landingAnd chances are you11 have traveled through a windshield（挡风玻璃）or door to do itStudies show that chances of dying after a car accident aretwentyfive times greater in cases where people are“thrown clear”Myth Number Two：Safety belts“trap”people in cars that are burning or sinking in waterTruth：Sorry again，but studies show that people knocked unconscious（昏迷）due to notwearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidentsPeople wearing safety beltsare usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangeroussituations，not to be trapped in themMyth Number Three：Safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour（mph）Truth：When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other，an unbelted driver would meetthe windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters 62Why did Elizabeth say to her father，“But，Dad，you cant be healthy if youre dead”？AHe was driving at great speedBHe was running across the streetCHe didnt have his safety belt onDHe didnt take his medicine on time63The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he_Awasnt feeling very wellBhated to drive in the darkCwanted to take some exerciseDdidnt want to be caught by the police64According to the text，to be“thrown clear”of a serious accident is very dangerous becauseyou_Amay be knocked down by other carsBmay get seriously hurt being thrown out of the carCmay find it impossible to get away from the seatDmay get caught in the car door65Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe_Athe belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentBthey will be unable to think clearly in an accidentCthey will be caught when help comesDcars catch fire easily66What is the advice given in the text？ANever drive faster than 30 miles an hourBTry your best to save yourself in a car accidentCNever forget to wear the safety belt while drivingDDrive slowly while youre not wearing a safety belt E When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you，saying：“We have to go towork now，”youre left feeling surprised and certainly uneasyAfter all，this is the 1990s andthe idea of children working is just unthinkableThat is，until you are told that they are allpupils of stage schools，and that the“work”they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatreStage schools often act as agencies（代理机构）to supply children for stage and televisionworkMore worthy of the name“stage school”are those few places where children attend fulltime，with a training for the theatre and a general educationA visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselvesAfterall，what lively children wouldnt settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary schoolwork，and acting，singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day？Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money insome big showsSome stage schools give their children too much professional work at such ayoung ageBut the law is very tight on the amount they can doThose under 13 are limited to40 days in the year；those over l3 do 80 daysThe schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession forwhich they are being trainedSo what happens to those who dont make it？While all the leadingschools say they place great importance on children getting good study results，the facts seem tosuggest this is not always the case 67People would stop feeling uneasy when realising that the children theyre talking to_Aattend a stage schoolBare going to the theatreChave got some work to doDlove singing and dancing68In the writers opinion，a good stage school should_Aproduce star performersBhelp pupils improve their study skillsCtrain pupils in language and performing artsDprovide a general education and stage training69“Professional work”as used in the text means_Aordinary school workBmoneymaking performancesCstage training at schoolDacting，singing or dancing after class70Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools？AHe thinks highly of what they have to offerBHe favours an early start in the training of performing artsCHe feels uncomfortable about children putting on night showsDHe doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached B）根据对话内容，从对话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。John：Oh，hi，Fred！ 71 Why are you so late？Fred： 72 She always keeps us in class until ten past tenJohn：Doesnt she know that youre supposed to get out at
