People like them because they are interesting and useful.In London there is a TV programme called “Police Five”. It takes five minutes a week. A TV reporter talks about crimes(犯罪) in London.

When people see the picture of such things on TV, they may remember something so that they may tell the police where or when they saw them.

Betty ran out of her bedroom. “I’ll get it, mom.” she called, as she passed her mother’s door.“Thank you, dear.” Betty ran down the stairs, picked up the phone and said. “Yes, Hello? This is Betty Quinlan.” The slow voice of the sheriff (郡长) came over the wire. “Is your father there, Betty?” “No, he hasn’t come back yet. Shall I give him a message?” The sheriff said, “Yes, please. Tell him I want to speak to him immediately. Someone left a silver cigarette case (银烟盒) here at the place, and I want to examine it for装 订 线fingerprints (指纹).” “I’ll tell him, Sheriff.”“Tell him to bring his fingerprints stuff (材料) and a camera. It’s a cigarette case with a heart on it and an arrow through the heart. There is an R on one end of the arrow and a B on the other. Will you tell him as soon as he comes in.” “I’ll tell him.

It’s said that more than 10,000 health-oriented websites (网站) already exist now.However, some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care —one for Internet “haves” and the other for the “have-nots”.But Pal points out that “by the year 2002 nearly every library will offer Internet and e-mail services in the United States” al lows even low-income patients to use such means. Pal also talks about other possible barriers (障碍) to the acceptance of medical e-mail.“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload (工作量) and uncertainty about payment (付款) for the time they spent,” he explained, “and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others.” “But these problems can be all be solved,” he adds.E-mail may help us a lot in health care, Pal concludes. “ Patients want to know more than they can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway (超级高速公路) less fearful than face -to-face dialogue with their doctors.”30. The article introduces a new way of patient- doctor communication _________.A. by e-mailB. by visiting websitesC. by searching the InternetD. by using the computer31. According to the text, some people worry that ___________.A.it might have to serve both those who have access (访问通道) to the Internet and those whodon’t so the workload is too heavyB.it might meet double doubts from those who have access to the Internet and those who don’tC.it might make trouble between those who can use the Internet and those who can’tD.it might take troub le between those who have Internet experiences and those who haven’t32.

Which of the following is true about e-mail in the USA?A. Every patient cannot use it.B. Only doctors can use it.C. Patients needn’t pay for their treatment by us ing e-mail.D. No others can read the information sent by e-mail.DThere have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel(轮子). This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. Peopl e didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter(直升飞机) in 1909, sound movies in 1926, the computer in 1928 and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon(尼龙) came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire(渴望) to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including(包括) China and Japan, have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is第2页certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.34. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as __________.A. the radioB. the cameraC. jet planesD. movies35. People can live long lives because___________to help people cure diseases have worked very well.A. doctorsB. new methodsC. medicinesD. new hospitals36.

Passage OneA couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey. It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, full of reasonably well-behaved kids from middle-class families. I handled three classes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for the rest of the day.Teaching's the toughest job there is. In his new memoir, "Teacher Man," Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, "Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses." Not to mention writing a column. I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin (下巴) in my hand any time. But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders, and you are sunk.The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for a twenty-something with no mortgage (抵押贷款) and no kids. But soon enough the new teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere. After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy (舒适安逸的) hours and summer vacations, they figure out that early mornings are for students who need extra help, evenings are for test corrections and lesson plans, and weekends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills.According to the Department of Education, one in every five teachers leaves after the first year, and almost twice as many leave within three. If any business had that rate of turnover, someone would do something smart and strategic to fix it. This isn't any business. It's the most important business around, the gardeners of the landscape of the human race.Unfortunately, the current way of dealing with problems in education is taken directly from business practice, and it's a terrible fit. Instead of simply acknowledging that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises, politicians have wasted decades talking about something called merit pay (奖励工资). It's a concept that works fine if you're making toys, but kids aren't toys, and good teaching isn't an assembly line.26. What can we infer from the first paragraph about teachers?A. They have to teach three classes at a time.B. They have a very rewarding job.C. They prefer to teach children from middle-class families.D. They have a very hard job to do.27. Why does the author say teaching is tougher than writing a column?A. Teaching is like working on docks and warehouses.B. Teaching demands full attention.C. Teachers have to work with children.D. Teachers have no chance to go traveling.28. What do new teachers find out after some practice?A. Their starting salary is lower than offered by other occupations.B. They have to work during vacations to make ends meet.C. They have to plan their time well to get everything done.D. They can take a second or even a third job besides teaching.29. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks __________.A. measures should be taken to keep teachers in their jobsB. the rate of turnover in teaching is low compared to other occupationsC. it's natural for a number of teachers to quit in three to five yearsD. it's fair to call teachers the gardeners of the landscape of the human race30. What does the author think of merit pay?A. It will make up for teachers' low starting salaries.B. It will bring down the turnover rate of teachers.C. It is a good fix for current educational problems.D. It is not suitable for the teaching profession.Passage TwoQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:I was born with a disability that affects my sense of balance, causing me to walk with a limp. Not only does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an impact on the kidneys.The disability has had its ups and downs. As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me because of the way that I walked. There were many times that my schoolmates would laugh at me and call me names simply because of their lack of understanding, especially back in the mid 70s and early 80s. Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their classmates might walk, speak or seem noticeably different from themselves.Now that I am an adult, I have noticed that the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance. The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down some of those barriers (障碍) that, as a child, left me to fight a war that seemed to have no end. Now I look beyond what I can't do and focus on what I can. I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms.There is nothing in this world that comes easy. I must stand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for what still lies ahead. People often feel sorry for those who were born with some type of disability. But their compassion (怜悯) is misplaced.Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but my disability gives me a better look at life and all that's around me. I want to be seen not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom (成长). So I decided to become an advocate (倡导者)on behalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored.I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change the minds of many nations, and as long as I have a mouth to use and a mind to think I will continue to work to bring peace upon the disabled community.31. Why did children stare at the author when he was young?A. He walked in an uneven way.B. He often lost his balance and fell to the ground.C. He had an appearance quite different from others.D. He spoke in a different way from others.32.

I'm looking around for a middle-aged woman, my Aunt Penn, who I've seen in pictures. The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace (项链) and flat shoes, and maybe some kind of narrow dress in black or gray. But I'm just guessing since the pictures only showed her face.Anyway, I'm looking and looking and everyone's leaving and there's no signal on my phone and I'm thinking, "Oh great, I'm going to be abandoned at the airport so that's two countries they don't want me in," when I notice everyone's gone except this kid who comes up to me and says, "You must be Daisy." And when I look relieved he does too and says, "I'm Edmond.""Hello Edmond," I say, "nice to meet you." I look at him hard to try to get a feel for what my new life with my cousins might be like.Now let me tell you what he looks like before I forget because it's not exactly what you'd expect from your average fourteen-year-old what with the cigarette and hair that looked like he cut it himself with a knife in the dead of night, but aside from that he's exactly like some kind of mutt, you know the ones you see at the dog shelter who are kind of hopeful and sweet and put their nose straight into your hand when they meet you with a certain kind of dignity and you know from that second that you're going to take him home? Well that's him.Only he took me home.I'll take your bag, he said, and even though he's about half a mile shorter than me and has arms about as thick as a dog leg, he grabs my bag, and I grab it back and say "Where's your mom, is she in the car?"And he smiles and takes a drag on his cigarette, which, even though I know smoking kills and all that, I think is a little bit cool, but maybe all the kids in England smoke cigarettes? I don't say anything in case it's a well-known fact that the smoking age in England is something like twelve and by making a big thing about it I'll end up looking like an idiot when I've barely been here five minutes. Anyway, he says," Mum couldn't come to the airport because she's working, and everyone else seemed to be somewhere else, so I drove here myself."36.
