The idea, as it was first worked out, was for the aeroplane to fly from Blackpool airport across to Southport airport, and for the mails to be taken over by the Post Office there. But the programme had to be changed owing to a series of high winds. What happened in the end was that Graham-White took a mail-bag in his plane, and made a flight with it across country for a distance of about seven miles, returning to the airport. This experiment gave Graham-White the honour of being the first airman in England to carry a bag of mail across country in an aeroplane. Letters and postcards which were carried in this test, and which had a special stamp recording the fact, soon became much sought after by collectors. The second and more important experiment in British air mail transport took place in September 1911, and was the first of its kind in this country to obtain the official permission of the Postmaster-general. It was indeed one of the historical events in our airmail development. In this case as many as 130,000 letter and postcards were carried by aeroplane between London and Windsor. One of the airmen engaged in this pioneer service was the famous Gustav Hamel, flying a monoplane. I remember going out one afternoon to see him start off with one of the bags of mail. It was an extremely bad day for flying, and just before the time due for the start, the wind was blowing at nearly 50 miles an hour. None of the other pilots would have thought of going up, but Hamelone of the finest of all pilots of the British monoplanewas not to be stopped. He jumped into his machine and fairly shot off the ground. The monoplane, so long as it was near the earth, was thrown about like a small boat on an angry sea. But Hamel gave a splendid exhibition of airmanship; as soon as he reached a great height, conditions became much steadier ,and he finished his journey without accident. This was an early demonstration that an airplane was more than a fine weather machine, and that it could fight its way successfully through violent winds. This fact impressed the postal authorities a good deal, and helped those who believed that the airplane had a great commercial future. 16Holt Thomas and Graham-White were the first airmen to carry the airmail in England.

These will cost $ 5 for initial viewing over a 48-hour period and can be viewed again for additional fees and even purchased for unlimited viewing. 3Divx combines the service of a video rental store with the operation of a pay-per-view TV channel. Unlike a rented videotape, though, the Divx disc neednt he returned. The 48-hour viewing period doesnt begin until the disc is first played. Customers can retain the disc for replay in the future at an additional fee, or simply discard it. (Divx plans a collection and recycling programme.) 4Subsequent plays, or the purchase of unlimited-viewing rights, are billed to the customers Divx account and charged to a credit card. The players built-in memory keeps track of all Divx plays, and relays this information by toll-free phone modern to the Divx record-keeping centre. Each Divx disc and player has a unique identification code, so the system knows which discs have been played and wheresomething that may raise concerns over privacy. 5Some Divx discs could be converted for unlimited play at a price likely to be lower than buying a conventional DVD. Others, called Divx Gold, would be sold from the beginning for unlimited play without further charge. Although conventional DVDs will run in a Divx players, conventional DVD player will lack the decoding and communications ability to play Divx discs. Divx players will be offered by Panasonic, RCA and Zenith. 6About 100 discs will be available initially from Disney, Dreamworks, Paramount, and Universal, growing to 500 titles within a year. Most of these will be released in the 4:3 pan-and- scan mode rather than in the 16:9 letterbox format. Other filmmakers have yet to adopt the Divx system.

My boyfriends Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen, a secretarys tone seems more rejecting than Id imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluidhours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days. For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them via E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV. But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though Ive merged with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. Its like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net Opponents worst nightmare. What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance, a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult. At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that Id never done previously. The voices of the programs soothe me, but then Im jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or compulsively needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. Dateline, Frontline, Nightline, CNN, NewYork 1, every possible angle of every story over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background. 31Compared to he clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes_ Aunidentifiable Bunbearable Cunreal Dmisleading 32The passage implies that the author and her boyfriend live in_ Adifferent cities in England Bdifferent countries Cthe same city Dthe same country 33What is the main idea of the last paragraph? _ AShe is so absorbed in the TV programs that she often forgets her work. BIn order to keep up with the latest news and the weather, she watches TV a lot. CIn order to get some comfort from TV programs she, sometimes, turns on the television. DHaving worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit odd. 34What is the authors attitude to the computer? _ AShe dislikes it because TV is more attractive. BShe dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world. CShe has become bored with it. DShe likes it because it is very convenient. 35The phrase coming back out of the cave in the fifth paragraph means_ Acoming back home Bgoing back home Cliving a luxurious life Drestoring direct human contact 第二篇 Show Love by Knitting My mother knew how to knit, but she never taught me. She assumed, as did many women of her generation, that knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter. A combination of feminism, consumerism and household gadgetry made many women feel that such homely accomplishments were now obsolete. My Grandmother still knitted, though, and every Christmas she made a pair of socks for my brother and me, of red wool. They were the ones we wore under our ice skates, when it was really important to have warm feet. Knitting is a nervous habit that happens to be productive. It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do. It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted. I love breathing life into the patterns. Its true magic, finding a neglected, dog-eared old book with the perfect snowflake design, buying the same German town knitting worsted my grandmother used in the exact blue to match my daughters eyes, taking it on the train with me every day for two months, working feverishly to get it done by Christmas, staying up late after the stockings are filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends. Knitting has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months, there will be a reward. When I make a mistake, I know that a temper tantrum will not fix it, that I just have to go back and take out the stitches between and start over again. People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In the first place, you could not pay me enough for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important, this is an activity I keep separate from such considerations. I knit to cover my children and other people I love in warmth and color. I knit to give them something earthly that money could never buy. Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the train home, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knitting bag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love. 36Which of the following reasons does NOT explain the fact that Knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter?_. AThe struggle of women for equal rights. BThe belief that it is good to buy and use a lot of goods. CThe plain feature of knitting. DThe introduction of domestic devices. 37At what time did the author wear the socks her grandmother had knitted for her? _. AIn winter. BWhen she went skiing. CDuring the Christmas holidays. DWhen she needed to keep her feet warm for skating. 38Knitting is a nervous habit means_. Aknitting involves the work of ones nerves Bknitting gets on ones nerves Cknitting makes one nervous Dknitting may act as a trigger for a nervous breakdown 39Which of the following is false concerning knitting according to the author? _. AIt helps one give up ones bad habit. BIt helps one get rid of ones bad mood. CIt requires patience. DIt is a profit-making business. 40What is NOT her purpose for knitting according to this passage? _. AIt saves money. BIt activates ones life. CIt enriches ones life. DIt is a pleasant pastime. 第三篇 How Ford Turn Out Cars When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make carsone, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses. Back in the early 1900s, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a disassembly line. Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David of the University of Delaware, an expert o
