Together they traveled around the world, collecting the finest art treasures.One winter, war came to the nation, and John left to serve his country. After only a few short weeks, his father received a telegram reading that John had died while saving a fellow soldier. Filled with sadness, the old man cried. On the coming Christmas morning, a soldier called on him and gave him a picture of John.The following spring, the old man became ill and passed away. According to his will, all of his works of art would be auctioned (拍卖) on Christmas Day, when he had received the greatest gift of his life. The day soon arrived and art collectors from around the world gathered to buy some of the worlds greatest paintings. The auction began with a painting of the old mans son. “Who will open the bidding (出价) with $100?” the auctioneer (拍卖人) asked. Minutes passed, but no one spoke. Finally, a neighbor of the old mans spoke. “Can I take the painting for ten dollars? It is all I have, and he is a good man.”“Will anyone go higher?”called the auctioneer. After more silence, the auctioneer said, “Going once, going twice, gone.” The gavel(槌) fell. “Now we can get on to the real treasures.” Someone shouted angrily. But the auctioneer said that the auction was over. Someone asked,“Its over? We didnt come here for a picture of some old guys son.

It became popular in the 1990s. Now, we live in the Internet Age. The Internet is very useful. You can get information to do some shopping or talk with people all over the world. You can do all these things in your room.You can set up your own space on the Internet. We call it a homepage. Its open to anyone in the world. Write your message on your Homepage. Soon, you can get answers by e-mail from people around the world.The Internet is also useful when a flood or an earthquake happens somewhere in the world. We can learn about the needs of the people there and send them food and medicine more quickly than before.In the world of the Internet, everyone is equal. Famous writers, artists, and scientists-they are all your friends. A lucky person can even find a message from the president of a country.Some people lose themselves in the world of the Internet. Thats really bad. Remember that the world of the Internet is not a real world. Face-to-face communication with family, friends, and neighbors is very important. Dont forget that the Internet is only a tool for communication and information.Many people say that the Internet has some problems, but most people agree the Internet still has a wonderful future. For the first time in history, anyone can exchange messages and information immediately with other people.60. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A.

Many people think it will get better very soon.62. Whats the best title of the passage?A. The InternetB. Peoples Attitude to the InternetC. Information on the InternetD. How to use the InternetDWhat is language for? Some people seem to think its for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of wordsthe longer the lists，the better. Thats wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. Its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they cant speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. Theyre English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It cant make another peoples language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldnt overdo（做过头）it. They should put communication first.63. Language is used to _.A. express oneselfB. practice grammar rulesB. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words64. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly. ” This sentence means that _.A. foreigners cant avoid mistakes when speaking EnglishB. foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English65. If too many native speakers break a rule, _.A. what they use will become rightB. they are against the lawC. they should say sorry to othersD. they will become heroes66. When we speak a foreign language, we should _.A. speak in Chinese way B. speak by the rulesC. speak to native speakers D. not be afraid of making mistakesESome students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago, has studied these highly anxious exam-takers.“They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.” says Sian Beilock.The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math exams. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam.The researchers added to the pressure(压力). They told the students that those who did well on the
