Kneeling by the ditch beside the road, I 45 the frogs were there. But I couldn?t see them, because I didn?t know where to 46 . I also had no idea what the spring peepers looked like — I only knew them by 47 and from a description in a book on pond life. Hearing their lively song, though, I started 48 with my torch.
And there he was on some grass! A frog so 49 that he could have stood on a coin. His slimy skin was 50 in the pale light of my torch. He became 51 , probably frightened by the light.
We looked at each other, his tiny 52 sack(袋) inflating and deflating (胀缩) like a balloon as he 53 . As I took my light off his body, he slowly started to 54 again. Wanting to disturb him and his many relatives 55 , I stood up and walked back to the driveway, listening to the calling of the frogs.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
These days, if you still think the cellphone is just for talki ng, you?ll get laughed at. Yes, it?s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today?s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them. Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year:
Surf at speed
Cellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what?s new? Well, faster third-generation (3G) networks that let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronics VX 8000
and Motorola V1150.
Listen as you go
The problem with most Cellphone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that?s about to change. Sony Ericsson?s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Samsung?s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.
Say cheese
Camera cellphones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel (百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common, and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson?s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG?s recent A7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.
Portable TV
You say you like “watching TV”? That?s what Samsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes —for a fee. Other choices are Nokia?s 6620, Sanyo?s MM7400 and NEC?s N940. The NEC model lets you watch public TV — no fee.
The above are just a handful of what you?ll see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator .... So what is there that a cellphone can?t do?
56. Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?
A. Samsung?s SPH-V5400 and Nokia?s 6620.
B. Sony Ericsson?s W800i and Samsung?s SPH-V5400.
C. Sony Ericsson?s W800i and NEC?s N940.
D. Sanyo?s MM7400 and NEC?s N940.
57. What?s the difference between NEC?s N940 and other models?
A. It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speed.
B. It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.
C. It can hold as many as 150 songs.
D. It lets you watch public TV for free.
58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All the functions of the models mentioned in the passage are completely new.
B. Camera cellphones of 3-megapixel units will appear soon.
C. It is certain that a cellphone can do anything in the near future.
D. Today?s do-it-all mobiles have nothing in common with the computer.
59. This passage may be ________.
A. an introduction to some new models of cellphones
B. an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cellphones
C. a science fiction trying to attract readers? attention
D. a survey to find the development of cellphones

Britain is a nation of gossipmongers(爱闲聊的人), with nearly 90％of us admitting we enjoy a good chinwag(聊天) with friends and colleagues.
Research carried out by Quickbrew found 14％of people admitted they spent at least two hours a day gossiping. Work was found to be the favourite topic of conversation (20％), closely followed by current affairs (18％) and relationships (17％). Despite the media?s interest in celebrities, only 6％of people questioned said they spent most of their time gossiping about the rich and famous. Other people?s lives appear to be a great source of fascination (17％), while only 3％of us like talking about the weather. Nearly half of us prefers having a gossip face-to-face (48％), rather than on the phone (36％), by email (7％), or via text message (6％). And only 1％said they would put pen to paper to share or find out gossip.
The ICM survey of 1,004 adults across Britain also found an unsurprising gender gap when it comes to talking about relationships. Nearly a quarter of women (24％) said it was a popular topic, compared with just one in 10 men. Regional differences also appeared, with one in five people in the southeast claiming they do not spend any time gossiping. The Welsh also appeared to be rather self-controlled, with 45％saying they only spend between 15 and 30 minutes a day chatting. In contrast, one in five people in the northeast said they enjoyed chattering for more than two hours a day.
60. People questioned in the survey prefer ________.
A. having a conversation about their work
B. sharing a gossip by e-mail
C. talking about the weather
D. chatting with their family in their spare time

A. British people are very much interested in the lives of the rich and famous
B. most of British men pay little attention to the relationships between people
C. many British people prefer writing to each other
D. British people seldom spend time talking about the media
62. Which of the following is the best title for the above passage?
A. Different topics among people

Are you tired of looking for love in all the usual places? Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are now going online instead. The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the world?s most popular matchmaker. With so many singles online, dozens of dating sites like Yahoo Personals and https://www.doczj.com/doc/a06345090.html, are helping singles find that special someone. Around the world, from
America to China, love is now very much online.
Singles are flocking to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other. Using dating sites is quick and convenient. They can “meet”
a lot more people online than they could by hanging out at a club. Besides, many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. They also appreciate the first distance of online dating, which allows them to hide themselves until they are ready to meet someone face to face. Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don?t like can be embarrassing.
Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems. People aren?t always who they claim to be in their online profiles. For instance, someone who tells you he is “handsome, successful and single” might turn out to be homely, unemployed and married. Safety is another concern. You are just as likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr or Miss Right.
Even so, supporters of online dating see things in a positive way. In their opinion, singles can safely play the online dating game with a little common sense. Online dating experts recommend following a few safety tips:
Guard your personal information. Never give out your personal information online. This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work.
Watch for red flags. Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!
Meet in a safe place. When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around. Following these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams. 63. Ac cording to the passage, many lonely singles don?t appreciate the regular dating scene because it is ________.
A. unpopular
B. troublesome
C. convenient
D. forgettable
64. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. getting tired of falling in love in a usual way
B. people with false information on the Internet
C. new technology to find love through the Internet
D. websites such as Yahoo Personals and https://www.doczj.com/doc/a06345090.html,
