第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
(A)
Survey Studies Internet Use in China
A typical (典型的) Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes online purchases and favors news, music and games sites．According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants (参与者) use the Internet for news — often entertainment-related — or for online games．About half download music and movies.
They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests．Online purchases still remain unpopular in China．Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month．Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.
“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday．“If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”
The survey (调查) was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha．Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities．Guo describes the typical netizen (网民) in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated．Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24．Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.
China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.
41．A typical Chinese Internet user will be the one who _________.
A．likes to send e-mails B．likes to buy goods online
| |
42．Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because _________.
A．it is more difficult for sales returns B．people haven’t computers
C．people can’t have a look at the goods D．goods bought online are of low quality
43．Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities?
A．well educated B．richer C．female D．young
44．According to the text, which of the following shows the right relation between online people and their ages?
A．

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart．Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists．
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon．The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper．The Beldon Post:
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom．The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire．We say again to all our visitors： “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years．
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel．An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire．The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels．When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield．
What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident．There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact．Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel．
Now what do you think of the rest of the “news” ?
45．Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?

A．b and c B．a and d C．c and e D．a and c
47．The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think _____________．
A．hotels in Beldon often catch fire
B．hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fire
C．this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel

（C）
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture (湿度,水分) from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.
All foods including water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean (瘦的) meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is．If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is controlled.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically．The conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers (室) through which hot air is blown at temperature of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit．This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, mincemeat and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder (圆筒), then put them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes．In the first process, the dried material comes off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively flakes (薄片)．In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as small powder．Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients (成分) are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions．For these reasons they are convenient to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space．They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
49．It can be inferred from the passage that _______________________.
A．the fattier fish contain as much water as the lean one
B．the fattier the fish is, the more water it may contain
C．a fatty fish holds less water than a lean one
D．the water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat
50．The underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by _______.
A．particular B．scientific C．usual D．special
51．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about drying food?
A．The removal of water in food helps prevent it from going rotten.
B．The open-air method of drying food has been known for hundreds of years.
C．In the course of dehydration, the temperature of hot current coming from entry to exit is gradually going up.
D．The process of drying liquids is much more complex than that of drying solid food.
52．The last paragraph mainly talks about ____________________.
A．the reason why housewives like dried food
B．the general convenience of dried food
C．the methods of storing food
D．the advantages of dried, canned and frozen food
(D)
Nate suffered a hard blow when he lost his job．His boss had spoken rudely, “Your services are no longer needed.” Nate left the building filled with despair．By the time he reached home, he was in a deep depression．When he entered his house, he blurted out to his wife Sophia, “I lost my job．I am a complete, utter failure.” A tense silence followed．Then a smile crept across Sophia’s face．“What great news!” she responded.
“Now you can write the book you have always wanted to write.”
“But I have no job and no prospect of a job,” YC he objected, completely without hope．“If I struggle to be an author, then what will we live on? Where will the money come from?” Sophia took her husband by the hand and led him to the kitchen．Opening a drawer, she took out a box that was full of cash．“Where on earth did you get this?” Nate gasped．“To whom does it belong?”
“It’s ours!” Sophia replied．“I always knew that one day you would become a great writer if only you were given the chance．From the money you gave me for housekeeping every week, I have saved as much as I could so you would have your chance．Now there is enough to last us a whole year.”
What a surprise! What encouragement! What a wife! The unemployed husband did concentrate on writing that year, and the novel he wrote became a literary masterpiece．The book is The Scarlet Letter．Sophia had an even greater achievement, and she turned Nathaniel Hawthorne from a poor clerk into a world famous master．
53．Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．Sophia was very disappointed to hear the news
B．Nate was too sad to speak any more
C．Sophia was thinking of how to encourage Nate

54．Sophia saved money because _______________________．
A．she knew her husband would lose his job one day

D．she was trying to help her husband in every possible way
55．From the passage we can know that Sophia was __________________________．
A．kind and brave B．careful and encouraging
C．friendly and warm-hearted D．honest and determined
56．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Sophia’s Achievement B．A Great Writer’s Struggle to Success
C．Great Encouragement in Hard Times D．Failure is the Mother of Success

One possible version:
In recent years the number of private cars has been increasing rapidly in our country．In 1990, there were about one million private cars．As time went on, the number of private cars went up to 5 million in 1999, and there were more than 10 million private cars in 2004.
As we know, it is very convenient to go to any place if we have a car．Besides, the increase of the number of private cars can help car industry to develop faster.
However, more cars may cause traffic accidents and more air pollution．What’s more, waste gases from cars can do great harm to our health.
It’s high time that people should pay enough attention to these problems.
