People use them on trains, airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allow students to do schoolwork at anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the more important of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to a computer lab. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees---- anywhere at all.Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptops used in higher education, such as colleges and universities, are workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries, and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use the computers. The laptops will allow teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we have given students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.21. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to---------.A. use for their schoolworkB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. connect them to libraries22. Why is the word “speak” in the se cond paragraph in quotation marks?A. They don’t really talkB. They use the computer languageC. Laptops have speakersD. None of the above reasons is correct.23. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. all teachers use computersB. 1500 students have laptopsC. it is an old college in AmericaD. Students there can do everything24. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can ----------.A.attend the lectures on information technologyB.travel around the worldC.get information from around the worldD.have free laptops25 What can we infer from the passage?A. The program is successfulB. The program is not workableC. The program is too expensiveD. We don’t know the result yetBMost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a fewminutes 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. Now researchers say there are 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 or a particular situation---- for example, a family problem, 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.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic(长期的) loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lone people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important fact in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers,, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lone people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is 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.26 How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friendsB. Just ignore itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teachers for guidance27 “ It ” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ----------.A. temporary lonelinessB. situational lonelinessC. a new placeD. sleeplessness28 The topic of the 4th paragraph is that _______________.A.one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contactsB.we depend on various people for different reasonsC.lonely people don’t have many social problemsD.lonely people don’t have many friends29 Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problemsB. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illnessC. Chronic loneliness cannot be overcomeD. A, B, and C are all correct30 What is the best title of the passage?A. Three kinds of LonelinessB. Loneliness and DiseasesC. Loneliness and Social ContactsD. Chronic LonelinessCI came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet, I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the car accident I had to see a doctor---- and go to court.After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury. I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I want to see doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Y et he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeingme at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, ….. and I left without getting a cent.My experience taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly foreigners are still being treated unfairly. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.31 The author’s roommate offered to help him because ______.A.he felt sorry for the authorB.he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC.he knew the doctor was a very good oneD.he wanted the author to have a good lawyer32.

Going to court is something very common in AmericaB . One must very careful while driving a carC . There are more bad sides in America than good sidesD .Money is more important than other things in AmericaDThe Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened form Taj Mahan, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.He called in the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.36.

China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in theevent’s 151-year history. Not only will it attract more foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million visitors to Shanghai.The World Expo is a great event for different countries to exchange social, economic, cultural and scientific achievements, and also help to encourage new technology and ideas. The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital.
