The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “Im sorry, I cant sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I cant write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down at the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do you do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“Thats right, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes its down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since its down, it wont answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said, “Lets forget the computer. What about your planes? They are still flying, arent they?”“I cant tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if hes flying to Washington.” I suggested.“I wouldnt know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldnt know,” she said, pointing at the desk screen. “Only IT knows. It cant tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.56. The word “down” in the sentence Our computer is down. means _. A. fallingB. dead C. dropD. good57. The best title of the article is _. A. Asking the ComputerB. The Computer of the Airport C. The Most Frightening WordsD. When the Computer Is Down58. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer? A. She could do nothing. B. She could answer the passengers questions. C. She could sell a ticket. D. She could write out a ticket.59. The last paragraph suggests that _. A. a modern computer wont be down B. computers can take the place of humans C. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to people D. there will be great changes in computers BBy using some simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their childrens language development. Its surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase. A study was done with two-to-three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children took part in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. For example, the parents should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed in how to expand on their childrens answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group tested 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.60. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Verbal ability cannot easily be increased. B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more. C. Active children should read more. D. Children who talk more can develop their language skills better.61. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about reading? A. Do you see the elephant? B. Is the elephant in the cage? C. What animals do you see? D. Shall we go to the zoo?62. What was the difference between the control group and the experimental group? A. The training that parents received. B. The age of the children.C. The books that were read. D. The number of children.63. What conclusion is best supported by the passage? A. Parents should be trained to read to their children. B. Childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.C. The more children read, the cleverer they become. D. Children who read actively act six months older. CWhen we are at school and have classes, the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends - you are in a situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease in ordinary conversation but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.64. When you speak to the class, you should speak _. A. as loudly as possibleB. in a low voiceC. forcefullyD. loudly65. The situation in the class is _ that in your house. A. not very different fromB. sometimes the same as C. sometimes not the same asD. not the same as66. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is _.A. to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease67. The word “somewhat” in the last part of the passage means _. A. a bitB. little C. a certainD. few DNowadays, more and more people prefer to travel by plane. They think air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost.From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident. Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Traveling by air is as safe as by car. B. Traveling by air is not as safe as by car. C. Traveling by car is as dangerous as by air. D. Traveling by car is more dangerous than by air.69. The air traffic controllers of an airport . A. are ordered to handle 2500 planes a day in England B. give orders to planes leaving the airport C. only deal with the planes that want to land there D. control all the planes flying near the airport70. The danger of air crashes grows every year because . A. airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavier B. a pilot does not always hear a controllers order C. a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes D. airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes71. The example in the passage is to show that . A. air traffic controllers are often careless B. air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidents C. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidents D. two planes should not fly too close to each otherECan we seek simple, effective ways to help kids grow up against the national obesity trend?
