She was thinking that she must blame her daily 39 the next morning for such a terrible piece of carelessness, when she remembered that she had 40 both keys in their locks.

Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of 42 over her writing desk. It was as clear as daylight then that her flat had been broken in during her 43. Her first angry thought was to go 44 all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age it might be more 45 to have someone with her, so she went to 46 Mr. Johnson from the first floor.

Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners-Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packaging material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s scientists were already communicating using a primitive version of e-mail. While working at a lab in Switzerland Tim Berners-Lee wrote a programme which let him store these massages. This gave him another idea. Write a programme that will let academics (学术界人士) from across the world share information on a single site. In 1990 he wrote the HTTP and HTML Programmes which form the basis of the World Wide Web. The next year his programmes were placed on to the internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programmes used his codes to work with different operating systems. New things like web browsers and search engines were developed. Between 1991and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100,000. In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the newly World Wide Web consortium, or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and labs are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can participate equally on the Web. “The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and work. It helps us understand the humanity of people” he says.56. From the passage we can infer that Tim Berners-Lee is most probably _.A. British B. American C. Swiss D. French57. The main idea of the passage is _.A. when the internet came into being. B. how Tim Berners-Lee formed W3C.C. why computers develop so rapidly D. how the World Wide Web started58. Scientists began to communicate using e-mail _.A. in 1980 B. after the 1980s C. before 1990 D. in the 1960s59. He made up his mind to write a programme that would let people from across the world share information on a single site when _.A. he was a child B. he studied on Oxford UniversityC. he formed W3C D. He worked at a lab in Switzerland60. Which of the following is Not true?A. The number of web pages rose very rapidly in the 1990s.B. Tims programmes were placed on to the internet in 1990.C. The World Wide Web will have an effect on social development.D. Tim Berners-Lee made a great contribution to the computer science. B How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in US. For some parents the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as hazards and, with good guides, some education and a few precautions (预防措施) the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated (航行). “ Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they cant have access (进入) to the Internet were cutting them off from their future,” said an expert. Most kids have started to learn to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. But the most popular that was to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener (过滤)”. But this cant be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know whats OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing (浏览) the Internet.A few other tips:Dont put the PC in a childs room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity. Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line. Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially details like address and phone number. And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along. 61. The passage is mainly about the subject of _.A. American childrens going on-line B. Internet in AmericaC. appreciating InternetD. opposing Internet62. The best way to protect children from improper materials is _. A. to install a content screener in the computerB. to buy some search engines for the children C. to be nearby when they are surfing the InternetD. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong63. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children. B. Childrens not having access to Internet may have effect on their progressC. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.D. Search engines can help children to select materials fit for them.64. According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. softwares fit for children want programmingB. a child who is on-line is in dangerC. Internet is a jungle full of dangerD. Internet contains lots of harmful sites C Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor, he doesnt feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didnt know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United Sates what it is today.There are three main reasons the car has become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good form of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be widely used. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans dont like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They dont like to have to follow an exact form. A car gives them the freedom to arrange their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.65.In the USA, cars are the _ form of transportation. A. most comfortableB. cheapest C. most commonD. most expensive66.The most important reason cars are so popular in the US is that _. A. the Americans like to travel around in the car B. it is much cheaper than a plane C. it is much faster than a train D. the Americans like to arrange their time freely67.The writer thinks the most possible solution for the shortage of gas is that _. A. more buses will be used instead of cars B. a new kind of car will be developed to save gas C. a new form of transportation will be developed to save gas D. cars would be reduced as many as possible D When I was growing up, I was embarrassed (困惑) to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚) and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to walk together his steps slow, mine impatient and because of that, we didnt say much and we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”Our usual walk was to or from the subway (地铁), which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him. When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a childs sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home. When I thin
