The power of the blast shattered（使粉碎）nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless（不生锈的）steel rubbish can to pieces.One passer-by，identified（确认）only as Zhang，said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene.Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment.

For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women. “It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending. Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around. However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers dont buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks IncHess said that actually most stores websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“Its all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.55Which of the following statements is true? AThere were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004 BMost of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women. CPeople in the US were more likely to buy gifts online. DMore women shopped online than men in 2004.56From the passage we can infer that_. Amen usually decide how to spend money in the family Bwomen usually decide what to buy in the family Cthe Internet is used in all the shops. Dmore and more shops will sell their goods online.57According to Dan Hess，shopping online_.Ais unsafeBis convenient Cis a waste of time Dis cheaper58What can we know from the passage? AAmerican people only buy gifts in holidays. BShopping online is fun for women. CShopping off-line provides better service. DYoung people like to do gift-shopping online.C A few days ago I asked my sons governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Lets settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe youre too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month.”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, youve been here two months, so.”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays. you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays. ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off . that leaves. hmm. forty one dollars. Correct？” Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didnt I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didnt. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well. if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.” Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didnt know that! Take three from fourteen. leaves eleven. Heres your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !” I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this merci?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know Ive cheated you - robbed you! I have actually stolen from you ! Why thismerci？”“In my other places they didnt give me anything at all.”“They didnt give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you. I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you. Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didnt you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）-to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression, “It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out. I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !” 59What shocked the writer was Julias _.A. nervousness in front of her boss B. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about money D. unwilling to express herself60The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess _.A. to be more aggressive(侵略的) B. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her right D. to live independently61At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show _.A. his understanding of Julias anxietyB. his worry about Julias futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of the weak 62From the story, we can tell that Julias employer was _. A. greedy but honest B. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgiving D. none of the aboveDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that hes got a phone message. “But I didnt hear the ring，”you say. “Because you are too old，”your brother answers. Dont get mad. Hes just telling you the truth. Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. Its a ring tone that many adults cannot hear. According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched （频率） ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers. The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet. However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around. Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer （蜂鸣器） designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.63Students in some Manhattan schools have begun using the technology，so they can_ Atalk in class without being heard by their teachers Buse cellphones to send messages in class Chear better in class than their teachers Dimprove their hearing ability64The underlined phrase “the other way around” implies the _.Aadults are annoyed now Bteenagers are annoyed nowCadults are not annoyed now Dboth adults and teenagers are annoyed now65According to this passage，what will happen to a person when he is over twenty? AHe can hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz. BHe can hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz. CHe cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz. DHe cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.66It can be concluded from the passage that _. Aolder people hear no better than teenagers Bolder people had better not use cellphones Cteenagers hear better than old people Dteenagers had better not use cellphones EIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerres process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography-Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures“ snapshot”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. The
