About fifty years ago, when television first came out, people thought that radio was no longer useful. Television has both sounds and images（影像）.It is much more real and interesting to watch television than to listen to the radio. However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we dont need to see an image when we listen to the music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is 爱智康 （1） What is the passage mainly about? A. Music.B. Radio.C. Sound.D. Television. （2） People like to watch TV because .

D. the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can imagine yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create your own images. Moreover, while listening to the radio, you dont have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesnt have this advantage. A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you wont disturb anybody. Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it. people can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime television came out 50 years ago and it is useless now a radio is more expensive than a television people can use headphones to read books 18.B A trip to London My family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time. Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend. We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station. Then my wife and I would separate from Joan, my wifes sister, to do different things and finally meet again for lunch. And after lunch, we would go to the concert. But we were late because of a thick London fog. The train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadnt decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. We didnt have any mobile phones at that time. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didnt find her. It was now one oclock, and the concert began at 2:30. Perhaps she will thick of waiting outside the concert hall, said my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so think that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to 爱智康 （1） What did the writer plan to do after lunch that day? A. Go to the concertB. Return to Cambridge C.

Joan （4） The writer and his wife felt on the train back home. A. quite interestedB. rather disappointedC. tired and hungryD. very enjoyable get there was by subway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just when I was about to become angry, we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road. By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decide to return to Cambridge. It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make the journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. We were tired and hungry. We finally reached home at ten. Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan at home; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant. Of course, she managed to get home, too. Oh my god! they were late for the concert Joan didnt want to go to the concert there was a thick fog they planned to do different things until lunch time 19.C The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher edits my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell checks! I use it all the time. For English class, were reading The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinter. As a pre-reading assignment, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on T. For a geography assignment on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kind of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country affects its economy. For example, the rivers trade paths, the number of fish caught in it, and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners jobs and incomes. 爱智康 （1） What was the most important result the writer found out after he finished his geography assignment? A. B. C. D. （2） The underlined word spoils in this passage means . A. B. C. D. （3） How does the writer complete a big assignment or research project? A. B. C. D. （4） The main idea of this passage is . A. B. C. D. I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isnt always easy. For a big assignment or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias also save time. Sometimes, I think the computer spoils my generation because its so easy- at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer. Easy, fun, and fast. The natural conditions of a place have a lot to do with its economy. Southerners lose jobs and get less income because there are too many tourists. The widths and depths of the Mississippi affect the economy of the area. The information of both the history and the trade of the Mississippi is important. stopping something from being enjoyable of successful think well of someone because of his knowledge and achievements hurting a person, animal, or part of ones body, or damaging something giving someone everything he wants, usually making him badly behaved He stays at the library reading useful information. He searches information in dictionaries and encyclopedias. He stays at home using his computer and the Internet. He borrows books and magazines he needs from the library. different software should be used for different assignment computers can be used in English, geography and other classes computers and network are widely used in teenagers studies to tell the different uses of computers, television, library and the Interment 20.D Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already identifies three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special, attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular 信息匹配 爱智康 （1） The passage mainly talks about . A. the subjects of psychologyB. the study on loneliness C. the interests of psychologistsD. the treatment of loneliness （2） All of the following are true EXCEPT that . A. B. C. D. （3） The underlined word adjusted in paragraph 4 means . A. had no trouble understanding othersB. got used to the new situation C. changed themselves slightlyD. improved their health （4） Psychologists want to help the habitually lonely people because . A. they are college studentsB. they are sad and dangerous C. they intend to communicate with othersD. they many have mental and physical problems situation-for example, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition. Many researchers agree that the loneliest people are between the ages 18 and 25, so a group of psychologists decided to study a group of college students. They found that more that 50% of the students were situationally lonely at the beginning of the term as a result of their new circumstances（环境）, but had adjusted after a few months. Thirteen percent were still lonely after seven months due to (because of) shyness and fear. They felt very uncomfortable meeting new people, even though they understand that their fear was not reasonable. The situationally lonely students overcame their loneliness by making new friends, but the chronically lonely remained happy because they were afraid to do so. Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons. First of all, they are unhappy and unable to socialize. Secondly, researchers have found a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition. situational loneliness can cause physical problems temporary loneliness does not need special attention chronic loneliness can cause problems in socializing 37% of the students can cause problems in socializing 21. 书面表达 爱智康 A.
