Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industrys trade association, CTIA, estimates more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nations emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before and during disasters and other emergencies, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.Participation in the alert system by carriers telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry. The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules. The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or a nationwide disease. The second would involve approaching threats, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child kidnapping emergencies. The service could be in place by 2010.51. What is the purpose of the approved plan?A. To warn people of emergencies through messages.B. To popularize the use of cell phones.C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.D. To promote the wireless industry52. According to the passage, cell phone users_.A. must accept the alert service.B. may enjoy the alert service for free.C. must send the alerts to othersD. may choose the types of messages53. An alert message will NOT be sent if _.A. a child gets robbed in the streetB. a university shooting happensC. a natural disaster happensD. a terrorist attack occurs54. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting StudentsB. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless IndustryC. Cell Phone Alerts of National DisastersD. Cell Phone Alerts Coming SoonBHe was an old man who fished alone in a boat in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boys parents had told him that the old man was now definitely salao and he finally would be so. The boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff (鱼钩) and harpoon (鱼叉) and the sail that was rolled around the mast (桅杆). The sail was patched with flour bags and, rolled, it looked like theflag of permanent defeat. The old man was very thin with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches(斑点) of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the boat was pulled up. “I could go with you again. Weve made some money.” The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “Youre with a lucky boat. Stay with them.” “But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.” “I remember,” the old man said. “I know you did not leave me because you doubted.” “It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must obey him.” “I know,” the old man said. “It is quite normal.” “He hasnt much faith.” “No,” the old man said. “But we have. Havent we?” “Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then well take the stuff home.” “Why not?” said the old man, “between fishermen.” 55. The underlined word “salao” in the first paragraph probably means_. A. lonelyB. unluckyC. selfishD. stubborn56. The boy left the old man and went in another boat to fish because .A. the old man preferred to fish alone B. the old man was poorC. the boys parents ordered him to D. the old mans sail suggested a permanent defeat57. After reading this passage, we may safely conclude that .A. the old man was insistent and not afraid of failureB. the boys papa had confidence in everythingC. the old man caught big fishes during eighty-seven daysD. the boy obeyed his father because he had some doubts about the old man58. What might happen after the last paragraph?A. The old man and the boy might go to fish with other fishermen.B. The old man might go to have a drink with the boy.C. The old man and the boy might go to enjoy beer at the old mans home.D. The old man might go to tell the boys papa about the secrets between fishermen.CToo often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we havent listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we havent listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we havent quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember-despite the benefit of notes-exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right-and that means listening.Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively. It demands attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification- it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, youll miss what the speaker is saying-probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you wont know youve missed anything until its too late.The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners dont interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well.Above all, be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. Its helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. Equally important you should put yourself in the other persons place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But dont be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.59. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Dont be too cleverB. Be a good listenerC. Dont miss anything criticalD. Think of the speaker60. In the last paragraph, the underlined sentence“what they are getting at ” means_.A. what they implyB. what they likeC. what they attackD. what they achieve61. According to the passage, which of the following is the writers opinion?A. If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional.B. Speakers wont continue talking when their listeners explain what theyve heard.C. If you dont want to get things wrong, its important to be a good listener.D. Its hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence.62. What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?A. Dont accuse others of not listening while talking with them.B. Dont get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying.C. Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success.D. Think carefully of what youre going to say before the speaker finishes.DIn late March, Southwest University became the first school in China to open a 24-hour hotline providing suicide-prevention counseling. College suicide is a heart-breaking and argumentative topic. Chinese college students have long been the focus of public attention: their youth, education and, most importantly, bright futures make them the envy of society.However, in recent years, weve read more reports of student suicides. Perhaps thats simply because of societys attention with youth. But it could also signify the increasing troubled mental state of college students.Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides. Not surprisingly, the top factors usually include psychological and physical sickness, emotional trouble and peer pressure. Despair about their futures is also quickly becoming a leading factor: many students say they feel hopeless and confused about the direction of their careers in a crowded job market.Thankfully, more and more universities and colleges are providing counseling services to address students mental and psychological problems. These at least offer some comfort to students facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties.From appointing in-house student counselors to setting up hotlines and recruiting students to help their troubled peers, many universities are making efforts to fight student depression. There is no denying that much remains to be done, but such efforts are already working, helping students and saving lives.However, the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves. Whatever efforts school officials make, it is up to students to realize their problems and ask for help. Unfortunately, many students considering suicide refuse to seek help. By shutting themselves away, they can easily fall into vicious cycles(恶性循环), becoming even more easily hurt to personal difficulties and the pressures of the outside world.While establishing better on-campus psychological education and outreach programs as a step forward, students themselves must actively reach out for help. These dangers are a reality for every student, not only those who feel confused and depressed.63. Why are there so many students that commit suicide?A. Because of psychological and physical sickness.B. Because they feel hopeless and confused about their future.C. Because of the emotional trouble.D. All of the above.64. According to the article, all of the following are right except_.A. No university in China had a whole day hotline about suicide-prevention before March.B. Many people envy the college students their bright futures.C. The students who feel confused and depressed may need psychological education.D. The problems of student suicides indicate the increasing troubled mental state of youths.65. The key to avoid student suicides is that_.A. parents communicate with their children and understand themB. colleges and universities offer more help to studentsC. students themselves realize their problems and seek help from othersD. friends give more comfort and show more understanding to the problem students66. Which of the following can be the main idea for this article?A. Help is at hand for suicidal students.B. More college students commit suicide.C. How can students avoid committing suicide?D. Why do college students feel depressed?EFrom good reading we can get pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction.
