Way of Life for Students
The Internet is way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups.
A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.
About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband（宽带）connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses.
The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing（冲浪）habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $ 210 billion in sales last year alone.
College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping.
The study also showed that 65 percent make loan（贷款）payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.

As we approach the 21st century, it is clearer than ever that science and technology are changing the way we live and work. The breakthroughs in bioengineering science are helping to reveal the mysteries of life, holding out new hope for lifesaving cures to some of our most dreaded diseases.
In 1997, the great news shocked the whole world that the British scientists created a lamb, named Dolly from a single cell. Miraculously, the cell had been taken from the udder（(牛、羊等的)乳房） of an adult sheep, which marks the first time an adult animal had been successfully cloned.
But it soon caused worldwide concern over its ethical, social, and scientific implications. Cloning is especially controversial because it raises the prospect of "making" humans genetically identical（同一的；同样的） to an existing man or woman. Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested and unsafe and morally unacceptable.
How to look upon this new technique? When it comes to a discovery like cloning, we must move with caution, care and deep concern about the impact of our actions. First, cloning should be greatly esteemed and great thanks should be given to its inventors. Meanwhile, great efforts should be made to place this technique under strict control. Especially we should adopt a document against human cloning since past experience tells us a new invention may cause troubles if it is misused.
60.What are changing the way we live and work?
A. Cloning. B. Life saving. C. Science and technology. D. The mysteries of life.
61.Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is ________.
A. untested B. unsafe C. morally unacceptable D. all of the above
62.How should we look upon cloning?
A. Cloning is terrible. B. Cloning must be moved with caution, care.
C. Cloning will cause troubles. D. Cloning is a disease.
63.According to the passage, what should be given to cloning's inventors?
A. Strict control. B. Great thanks. C. Care. D. Caution.

If you own a car in a big city, the chances are good that your car radio has already been stolen, or soon will be. Maybe even the car itself. The theft of car radio and car itself is a common crime in the United States, more than 1 million cars and many more radios are pilfered every year--- and the numbers are rising. Traditional car alarms, with the wailing sirens , simply aren’t an effective device because a professional thief can steal a car or radio in seconds , long before car owners or police respond to an alarm .
To help solve the problem, a Stockholm company, Ultrapro, has developed what is called an almost foolproof antitheft system. The product is designed to prevent the would-be thieves from breaking into cars, but is also include a shocking surprise for those who do that. The system, which was tested for a year, in both mechanical and electrical in its operation. Its locks can not open from the outside .A thief must either use heavy tools to pry open a door, which takes precious time and would be obvious to passers-by or police, or smash a window and crawl inside.
If a thief should smash a window or pry open a car door, he will be the centre of attention, because the car horn will begin blaring(奏鸣) and its lights flashing .If he goes on , and sits down on the front seat , an unseen threat is waiting – a 9,000 volt electric shock in the seat of his pants . The shock will not seriously harm the thief but should frighten him to leave at once .
64 In the first paragraph, the word ‘ pilfered’ could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. damaged B. stolen C. licensed D. purchased
65. According to the passage, a thief will probably do any of the following in stealing a car EXCEPT_____.
A. Blare the car horn B. Turn of f the car alarm C. Smash the car window D. Open the car door
66. Why is the traditional alarm not an effective device against thieves ?
A. thieves are not afraid of the wailing siren B. The siren does not use electric shock
C. Cars can be stolen before the owners can respond to an alarm
D. An advanced antitheft system has been designed to replace the alarm
67. According to the passage, the 9,000 volt electric shock will do which of the following ?
A. It will seriously hurt the person who sits down on the front seat
B. It will cause fire to frighten the thief.
C. It will bring no serious harm to the thief but frighten him away.
D. It will keep the would-be thief from breaking the window.
68.Which of the following is the best tile for the passage?
A. The Theft of Cars in the United States B. An Terrible dangerous Crime
C. Shocking Antitheft Device D.World Market of the Antitheft System

Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. If you think that you can’t have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little resourcefulness and a few minutes of newspaper-scanning should give you some pleasant surprises. People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Stroll through busy street and see what everyone else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you will get a free fashion show, too. Window-shopping is also a safe sport—if the stores are closed.
Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably won’t cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial advertisements, too. A flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store.
Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may have saved some money too, since these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the indispensable sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city in a new perspective once you know about its history or its architectural treasures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Local colleges often hold meetings to debate the issues people are interested in.
B. There are many kinds of amusements you can enjoy without spending much money.
C. You should be a tourist if you want to know more about the city you live in.
D. The film shown at the local public library is often free of charge.
70. In the sentence “you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape…”, “shape” refers to people being________.
A. old and young B. fat and thin
C. tall and short D. beautiful and ugly
71. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means a time when______.
A. business is good B. stroll is slow
C. people are slow in learning D. business is bad
72. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Amusement at NO Cost B. The Most Enjoyable Street Musician
C. Movies, Concerts and Shows D. The Cheapest Window-shopping

Is Recycling Textbooks a Good Suggestion
As we know, when senior students graduate from school, most of their textbooks are thrown away, which are still in good condition. What a great waste it is !
A suggestion has been put forward that we should recycle the textbooks. I quite agree to the suggestion. For one thing, recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources, which are used to make textbooks. For another thing, senior students may have made plenty of useful notes on the pages. They are very helpful to those textbook users. Besides, in Australian and some other countries , recycling textbooks is popular. So I am for the suggestion.
