（英语）初三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)一、英语阅读（日常生活类）1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。

If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" （代）of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延迟）. When the car "sees" an obstacle（障碍物）, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions, However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.5G could also be used to power the internet of things （IoT）, that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically （自动地） place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.（1）Which city was 5G tested for the first time?A. Beijing.B. Shanghai.C. Shenzhen.（2）What can we infer（推测） according to the passage?.A. 5G is widely used in China now.B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient.C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones.（3）The writer uses self-driving cars as an example to .A. explain how 5G's fast speed can be helpfulB. warn about the possible dangers of self-driving carsC. explain how self-driving cars work（4）What is IoT according to the passage?A. A robot that can do housework.B. An online store where you can buy anything.C. A large online network that connects things and people.（5）Which sentence is right according to the passage?A. 5G will help us buy eggs quickly.B. Robots can help us buy eggs online.C. Our refrigerator can order eggs online for us.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）C（5）C【解析】【分析】短文大意：当人们看手机上方的时候，会看到3G或者4G的小符号。

《Bards Of the Internet》By Philip Elmer-DeWitt1. One of the unintended side effects of the invention of the telephone was that writing went out of style. Oh, sure, there were still full-time scribblers -- journalists, academics, professional wordsmiths. And the great centers of commerce still found it useful to keep on hand people who could draft a memo, a brief, a press release or a contract. But given a choice between picking up a pen or a phone, most folks took the easy route and gave their fingers -- and sometimes their mind -- a rest.2. Which makes what's happening on the computer networks all the more startling. Every night, when they should be watching television, millions of computer users sit down at their keyboards; dial into CompuServe, Prodigy, America Online or the Internet; and start typing -- E-mail, bulletin-board postings, chat messages, rants, diatribes, even short stories and poems. Just when the media of McLuhan were supposed to render obsolete the medium of Shakespeare, the online world is experiencing the greatest boom in letter writing since the 18th century.3. "It is my overwhelming belief that E-mail and computer conferencing is teaching an entire generation about the flexibility and utility of prose," writes Jon Carroll, a columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle. Patrick Nielsen Hayden, an editor at Tor Books, compares electronic bulletin boards with the "scribblers' compacts" of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, in which members passed letters from hand to hand, adding a little more at each turn. David Sewell, an associate editor at the University of Arizona, likens netwriting to the literary scene Mark Twain discovered in San Francisco in the 1860s, "when people were reinventing journalism by grafting it onto the tall-tale folk tradition." Others hark back to Tom Paine and the Revolutionary War pamphleteers, or even to the Elizabethan era, when, thanks to Gutenberg, a generation of English writers became intoxicated with language.4. But such comparisons invite a question: If online writing today represents some sort of renaissance, why is so much of it so awful? For it can be very bad indeed: sloppy, meandering,puerile, ungrammatical, poorly spelled, badly structured and at times virtually content free. "HEY 1!" reads an all too typical message on the Internet, "I THINK METALLICA IZ REEL KOOL DOOD! 1"5. One reason, of course, is that E-mail is not like ordinary writing. "You need to think of this as 'written speech,' " says Gerard Van der Leun, a literary agent based in Westport, Connecticut, who has emerged as one of the pre-eminent stylists on the Net. "These things are little more considered than coffeehouse talk and a lot less considered than a letter. They're not to have and hold; they're to fire and forget." Many online postings are composed "live" with the clock ticking, using rudimentary word processors on computer systems that charge by the minute and in some cases will shut down without warning when an hour runs out6. That is not to say that with more time every writer on the Internet would produce sparkling copy. Much of the fiction and poetry is second-rate or worse, which is not surprising given that the barriers to entry are so low. "In the real world," says Mary Anne Mohanraj, a Chicago-based poet, "it takes a hell of a lot of work to get published, which naturally weeds out a lot of the garbage. On the Net, just a few keystrokes sends your writing out to thousands of readers."7. But even among the reams of bad poetry, gems are to be found. Mike Godwin, a Washington-based lawyer who posts under the pen name "mnemonic," tells the story of Joe Green, a technical writer at Cray Research who turned a moribund discussion group called rec.arts.poems into a real poetry workshop by mercilessly critiquing the pieces he found there. "Some people got angry and said if he was such a god of poetry, why didn't he publish his poems to the group?" recalls Godwin. "He did, and blew them all away." Green's Well Met in Minnesota, a mock-epic account of a face-to-face meeting with a fellow network scribbler, is now revered on the Internet as a classic. It begins, "The truth is that when I met Mark I was dressed as the Canterbury Tales. Rather difficult to do as you might suspect, but I wanted to make a certain impression."8. The more prosaic technical and political discussion groups, meanwhile, have become so crowded with writers crying forattention that a Darwinian survival principle has started to prevail. "It's so competitive that you have to work on your style if you want to make any impact," says Jorn Barger, a software designer in Chicago. Good writing on the Net tends to be clear, vigorous, witty and above all brief. "The medium favors the terse," says Crawford Kilian, a writing teacher at Capilano College in Vancouver, British Columbia. "Short paragraphs, bulleted lists and one-liners are the units of thought here."9. Some of the most successful netwriting is produced in computer conferences, where writers compose in a kind of collaborative heat, knocking ideas against one another until they spark. Perhaps the best examples of this are found on the WELL, a Sausalito, California, bulletin board favored by journalists. The caliber of discussion is often so high that several publications -- including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal -- have printed excerpts from the WELL.10. Curiously, what works on the computer networks isn't necessarily what works on paper. Netwriters freely lace their prose with strange acronyms and "smileys," the little faces constructed with punctuation marks and | intended to convey the winks, grins and grimaces of ordinary conversations. Somehow it all flows together quite smoothly. On the other hand, polished prose copied onto bulletin boards from books and magazines often seems long- winded and phony. Unless they adjust to the new medium, professional writers can come across as self-important blowhards in debates with more nimble networkers. Says Brock Meeks, a Washington-based reporter who covers the online culture for Communications Daily: "There are a bunch of hacker kids out there who can string a sentence together better than their blue- blooded peers simply because they log on all the time and write, write, write."11. There is something inherently democratizing -- perhaps even revolutionary -- about the technology. Not only has it enfranchised thousands of would-be writers who otherwise might never have taken up the craft, but it has also thrown together classes of people who hadn't had much direct contact before: students, scientists, senior citizens, computer geeks, grass-roots (and often blue-collar) bulletin-board enthusiasts and most recently the working press.12. "It's easy to make this stuff look foolish and trivial," says Tor Books' Nielsen Hayden. "After all, a lot of everyone's daily life is foolish and trivial. I mean, really, smileys? Housewives in Des Moines who log on as VIXEN?"13. But it would be a mistake to dismiss the computer-message boards or to underestimate the effect a lifetime of dashing off E-mail will have on a generation of young writers. The computer networks may not be Brook Farm or the Globe Theatre, but they do represent, for millions of people, a living, breathing life of letters. One suspects that the Bard himself, confronted with the Internet, might have dived right in and never logged off.1.电话发明的一个意想不到的副作用就是使写作脱离原有的格式（风格）。

This edition has been specially prepared for the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), to be held in Tunis, 16-18 November 2005.Written by a team of analysts from the Strategy and Policy Unit (SPU) of ITU, the report takes a look at the next step in “always on” communications, in which new technologies like radio-frequency identification (RFID) and smart computing promise a world of networked and interconnected devices. Everything from tyres to toothbrushes might soon be in communications range, heralding the dawn of a new era; one in which today’s Internet (of data and people) gives way to tomorrow’s Internet of Things.The report consists of six chapters as follows:Chapter one,Introducing the Internet of Things, explores the key technical visions underlying the Internet of Things, such as ubiquitous networks, next-generation networks and ubiquitous computing;Chapter two, Enabling Technologies, examines the technologies that will drive the future Internet of Things, including radio-frequency identification (RFID), sensor technologies, smartthings, nanotechnology and miniaturization;Chapter three, Shaping the Market, explores the market potential of these technologies, as well as factors inhibiting market growth. It looks at new business models in selected industries to illustrate how the Internet of Things is changing the way firms do business;Chapter four, Emerging Challenges, contemplates the hurdles towards standardization and the wider implications of the Internet of Things for society, such as growing concerns over privacy;Chapter five, Opportunities for the Developing World, sets out some of the benefits these technologies offer to developing countries that may themselves become lead users and drivers of the market;Chapter six, The Big Picture, draws these threads together and concludes on how our lifestyles may be transformed over the next decade. The Statistical annex presents the latest data and charts for more than 200 economies worldwide in their use of ICTs.This Executive Summary, published separately, provides a synopsis of the full report, which is available for purchase (at the catalogue price of CHF 100) on the ITU website at www.itu.int/publications under General Secretariat.1 What is the Internet of Things?Over a decade ago, the late Mark Weiser developed a seminal vision of future technological ubiquity one in which the increasing “availability of processing power would be accompani ed by its decreasing visibilityWe are standing on the brink of a new ubiquitous computing and communication era, one that will radically transform our corporate, community, and personal spheres. Over a decade ago, the late Mark Weiser developed a seminal vision of future technological ubiquity – one in which the increasing “availability” of processing power would be accompanied by its decreasing “visibility”. As he observed, “the most profound technologies are those that disappear…they weave themselves in to the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it”. Early forms of ubiquitous information and communication networks are evident in the widespread use of mobile phones: the number of mobile phones worldwide surpassed 2 billion in mid-2005. These little gadgets have become an integral and intimate part of everyday life for many millions of people, even more so than the internet.Today, developments are rapidly under way to take this phenomenon an important step further, by embedding short-range mobile transceivers into a wide array of additional gadgets and everyday items, enabling new forms of communication between people and things, and between things themselves. A new dimension has been added to the world of information and communication technologies (ICTs): from anytime, any place connectivity for anyone, we willnow have connectivity for anything (Figure 1).Connections will multiply andcreate an entirely new dynamic networkof networks – an Internet of Things. TheInternet of Things is neither sciencefiction nor industry hype, but is basedon solid technological advances andvisions of network ubiquity that arezealously being realized.2 Technologies for the Internet of ThingsThe Internet of Things is a technological revolution that represents the future of computing and communications, and its development depends on dynamic technical innovation in a number of important fields, from wireless sensors to nanotechnology.First, in order to connecteveryday objects and devices tolarge databases and networks – andindeed to the network of networks(the internet) – a simple,unobtrusive and cost-effectivesystem of item identification iscrucial. Only then can data aboutthings be collected and processed.Radio-frequency identification(RFID) offers this functionality.Second, data collection will benefitfrom the ability to detect changes inthe physical status of things, using sensor technologies. Embedded intelligence in the things themselves can further enhance the power of the network by devolving information processing capabilities to the edges of the network. Finally, advances in miniaturization and nanotechnology mean that smaller and smaller things will have the ability to interact and connect (Figure 2). A combination of all of these developments will create an Internet of Things that connects the world’s objects in both a sensory and an intelligent manner.Indeed, with the benefit of integrated information processing, industrial products and everyday objects will take on smart characteristics and capabilities. They may also take on electronic identities that can be queried remotely, or be equipped with sensors for detecting physical changes around them. Eventually, even particles as small as dust might be tagged andnetworked. Such developments will turn the merely static objects of today into newly dynamic things, embedding intelligence in our environment, and stimulating the creation of innovative products and entirely new services.RFID technology, which uses radio waves to identify items, is seen as one of the pivotal enablers of the Internet of Things. Although it has sometimes been labelled as the next-generation of bar codes, RFID systems offer much more in that they can track items in real-time to yield important information about their location and status. Early applications of RFID include automatic highway toll collection, supply-chain management (for large retailers), pharmaceuticals (for the prevention of counterfeiting) and e-health (for patient monitoring). More recent applications range from sports and leisure (ski passes) to personal security (tagging children at schools). RFID tags are even being implanted under human skin for medical purposes, but also for VIP access to bars like the Baja Beach Club in Barcelona. E-government applications such as RFID in drivers’ licences, passports or cash are under consideration. RFID readers are now being embedded in mobile phones. Nokia, for instance, released its RFID-enabled phones for businesses with workforces in the field in mid-2004 and plans to launch consumer handsets by 2006.The Internet of Things is a technological revolution that represents the future of computing and communications, and its development depends on dynamic technical innovation in a number of important fields, from wireless sensors to nanotechnology.In addition to RFID, the ability todetect changes in the physical status ofthings is also essential for recordingchanges in the environment. In this regard,sensors play a pivotal role in bridging thegap between the physical and virtualworlds, and enabling things to respond tochanges in their physical environment.Sensors collect data from theirenvironment, generating information andraising awareness about context. Forexample, sensors in an electronic jacketcan collect information about changes in external temperature and the parameters of the jacket can be adjusted accordingly.Embedded intelligence in things themselves will further enhance the power of the network.Embedded intelligence in things themselves will distribute processing power to the edges of the network, offering greater possibilities for data processing and increasing the resilience of the network.This will also empower things and devices at the edges of the network to take independent decisions. “Smart things” are difficult to define, but imply a certain processing power and reaction to external stimuli. Advances in smart homes, smart vehicles and personal robotics are some of the leading areas. Research on wearable computing (including wearable mobilityvehicles) is swiftly progressing. Scientists are using their imagination to develop new devices and appliances, such as intelligent ovens that can be controlled through phones or the internet, online refrigerators and networked blinds (Figure 3).The Internet of Things will draw on the functionality offered by all of these technologies to realize the vision of a fully interactive and responsive network environment.3 Market OpportunitiesThe technologies of the Internet of Things offer immense potential to consumers, manufacturers and firms. However, for these ground-breaking innovations to grow from idea to specific product or application for the mass market, a difficult process of commercialization is required, involving a wide array of players including standard development organizations, national research centres, service providers, network operators, and lead users (Figure 4).From their original inception and throughout the R&D phase, new ideas and technologies must find champions to take them to the production phase. The time to market, too, requires key “lead users” that can push the innovation forward. To date, the technologies driving the Internet of Things are notable for the strong involvement of the private sector, e.g. through industry fora and consortia. Yet public sector involvement is growing, through national strategies for technical development (e.g. nanotechnology) and in sector-specific investments in healthcare, defence or education.RFID is the most mature of the enabling technologies with established standardization protocols and commercial applications reaching the wider market. The global market for RFIDproducts and services is growing fast, with sizeable revenues of between USD 1.5-1.8 billion by 2004. However, this is dwarfed by the total revenues expected over the medium- to long-term, with the spread of smart cards and RFID in all kinds of consumer products, including mobile phones.Changing business strategies is the name of the game…Wireless sensor networks are widely used in industries such as automotive, homeland security, medical, aerospace, home automation, remote monitoring, structural and environmental monitoring. Estimates of their market potential vary (partly due to different definitions), but analysts forecast that as their unit price falls, the number of units deployed will grow significantly. Meanwhile, robotics is expanding into new markets. At present, the market share of industrial robotics is larger than that of personal and service robotics, but this is set to change, as the personal robotics segment is expected to lead future market growth.Changing business strategies is the name of the game, in particular in the retail, automotive and telecommunication industries. Firms are embracing the underlying technologies of the Internet of Things to optimize their internal processes, expand their traditional markets and diversify into new businesses.4 Challenges and ConcernsBuilding on the potential benefits offered by the Internet of Things poses a number of challenges, not only due to the nature of the enabling technologies but also to the sheer scale of their deployment. Technological standardization in most areas is still in its infancy, or remains fragmented. Not surprisingly, managing and fostering rapid innovation is a challenge for governments and industry alike. Standardization is essential for the mass deployment and diffusion of any technology. Nearly all commercially successful technologies have undergone some pro cess of standardization to achieve mass market penetration. Today’s internet and mobile phones would not have thrived without standards such as TCP/IP and IMT-2000.Successful standardization in RFID was initially achieved through the Auto-ID Center and now by EPC Global. However, efforts are under way in different forums (ETSI, ISO, etc...) and there have been calls for the increased involvement of ITU in the harmonization of RFID protocols. Wireless sensor networks have received a boost through the work of the ZigBee Alliance, among others. By contrast, standards in nanotechnology and robotics are far more fragmented, with a lack of common definitions and a wide variety of regulating bodies.One of the most important challenges in convincing users to adopt emerging technologies is the protection of data and privacy. Concerns over privacy and data protection are widespread, particularly as sensors and smart tags can track users’ movements, habits and ongoing preferences. When everyday items come equipped with some or all of the five senses (such as sight and smell) combined with computing and communication capabilities, concepts of data request and data consent risk becoming outdated. Invisible and constant data exchange between things and people, and between things and other things, will occur unknown to the owners and originators of such data. The sheer scale and capacity of the new technologies will magnify this problem. Who will ultimately control the data collected by all the eyes and ears embedded in the environment surrounding us?Public concerns and active campaigns by consumers have already hampered commercial trials of RFID by two well-known retailers. To promote a more widespread adoption of the technologies underlying the Internet of Things, principles of informed consent, data confidentiality and security must be safeguarded. Moreover, protecting privacy must not be limited to technical solutions, but encompass regulatory, market-based and socio-ethical considerations (Figure 5). Unless there are concerted efforts involving all government, civil society and private sector players to protect these values, the development of the Internet of Things will be hampered if not prevented. It is only through awareness of these technological advances, and the challenges they present, that we can seize the future benefits of a fair and user-centric Internet of Things.When everyday items come equipped with some or all of the five senses… combined with computing and communication capabilities, concepts of data request and data consent risk becoming outdated.5 Implications for the Developing WorldThe technologies discussed in this report are not just the preserve of industrialized countries. These technologies have much to offer for the developing world and can lead to tangible applications in, inter alia, medical diagnosis and treatment, cleaner water, improved sanitation, energy production, the export of commodities and food security.In line with the global commitment to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) focuses on ICT development through the creation of national e-strategies, the guarantee of universal, ubiquitous, equitable and affordable access to technology and the wider dissemination and sharing of information and knowledge. WSIS commitments go far beyond technological diffusion –there is a pledge for common action towards poverty alleviation, the enhancement of human potential and overall development through communication technologies and related emerging technologies. In this regard, the technologies underlying the Internet of Things offer many potential benefits.One does not have to look far to find examples. In the production and export of commodities, sensor technologies are being used to test the quality and purity of different products, such ascoffee in Brazil and beef in Namibia. RFID has been used to track shipments of beef to the European Union to verify their origin, integrity and handling – essential given present trends in food tracability standards. Such applications help ensure the quality and market expansion of commodities from developing countries.The enabling technologies of the Internet of Things have much to offer developing countries in their goals for improving quality of lifeThe enabling technologies of the Internet of Things have much to offer developing countries in their goals for improving quality of life.Nanofilters in Bangladesh are removing pollutants and ensuring that water is safe to drink. Nano-sensors can be used to monitor water quality at reduced cost, while nanomembranes can assist in the treatment of wastewater. Research is under way to apply nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, including the diagnosis of HIV and AIDS, as well as nano-drugs for other diseases. Emerging technologies could also improve the quality and reliability of conventional drugs for the developing world: RFID, for example, can track the origin of safe drugs thereby reducing counterfeit.Sensor technologies can monitor vulnerable environments and prevent or limit natural disasters. Extensive and effective systems are needed to ensure early warning and evacuation, thereby reducing loss of life due to natural disasters. Special robots have for instance been used for mine detection to save lives and limbs in conflict zones. Commercial applications are already beingdeployed in countries like India, Thailand and Turkey, among others.Next-generation communication technologies may well originate in the larger growth markets of the developing world –China and India, in particular. The substantial research programmes currently being undertaken by these developing giants mean that the implementation of the Internet of Things will be adapted to local conditions and circumstances, as well as to international trade. Wal-Mart, for instance, now requires its suppliers to be RFID-compliant. In 2002, Wal-Mart sourced billions of dollars worth of products from China, i.e. around 12% of the total value of US imports from China during that year. Not surprisingly, China is rapidly preparing itself to become a leader in RFID deployment. Far from being passive followers of the Internet of Things, the developing world stands to greatly influence the implementation and widespread adoption of these emerging technologies.6 2020: A Day in the LifeBut what does the Internet of Things mean in a practical sense for a citizen of the future? Let us imagine for a moment a day in the life of Rosa, a 23-year-old student from Spain, in the year 2020.Rosa has just quarrelled with her boyfriend and needs a little time to herself. She decides to drive secretly to the French Alps in her smart Toyota to spend a weekend at a ski resort. But itseems she must first stop at a garage – her car's RFID sensor system (required by law) has alerted her of possible tyre failure. As she passes through the entrance to her favourite garage, a diagnostic tool using sensors and radio technology conducts a comprehensive check of her car and asks her to proceed to a specialized maintenance terminal. The terminal is equipped with fully automated robotic arms and Rosa confidently leaves her beloved car behind in order to get some coffee. The “Orange Wall” beverage machine knows all about Rosa’s love of iced cof fee and pours it for her after Rosa waves her internet watch for secure payment. When she gets back, a brand new pair of rear tyres has already been installed with integrated RFID tags for monitoring pressure, temperature and deformation.What does the Internet of Things mean in a practical sense for a citizen of the future?The robotic guide then prompts Rosa on the privacy-related options associated with the new tyres. The information stored in her car’s control system is intended for maintenance purpos es but can be read at different points of the car journey where RFID readers are available. However, since Rosa does not want anyone to know (especially her boyfriend) where she is heading, such information is too sensitive to be left unprotected. She therefore chooses to have the privacy option turned on to prevent unauthorized tracking.Finally, Rosa can do some shopping and drives to the nearest mall. She wants to buy that new snowboard jacket with embedded media player and weather-adjusting features. The resort she is heading towards uses a network of wireless sensors to monitor the possibilities of avalanches so she feels both healthy and safe. At the French-Spanish border, there is no need to stop, as Rosa’s car contains information on her driver’s li cence and passport which is automatically transmitted to the minimal border control installations.Suddenly, Rosa gets a video-call on her sunglasses. She pulls over and sees her boyfriend who begs to be forgiven and asks if she wants to spend the weekend together. Her spirits rise and on impulse she gives a speech command to the navigation system to disable the privacy protection, so that her boyfriend’s car might find her location and aim directly for it. Even in a world full of smart interconnected things, human feelings continue to rule.7 A New EcosystemThe internet as we know it is transforming radically. From an academic network for the chosen few, it became a mass-market, consumer-oriented network. Now, it is set to become fully pervasive, interactive and intelligent. Real-time communications will be possible not only by humans but also by things at anytime and from anywhere. The advent of the Internet of Things will create a plethora of innovative applications and services, which will enhance quality of life and reduce inequalities whilst providing new revenue opportunities for a host of enterprising businesses.The development of the Internet of Things will occur within a new ecosystem that will be driven by a number of key players (Figure 6). These players have to operate within a constantlyevolving economic and legal system, which establishes a framework for their endeavours. Nevertheless, the human being should remain at the core of the overall vision, as his or her needs will be pivotal to future innovation in this area. Indeed, technology and markets cannot exist independently from the over-arching principles of a social and ethical system. The Internet of Things will have a broad impact on many of the processes that characterize our daily lives, influencing our behaviour and even our values.For the telecommunication industry, the Internet of Things is an opportunity to capitalize on existing success stories, such as mobile and wireless communications, but also to explore new frontiers. In a world increasingly mediated by technology, we must ensure that the human core to our activities remains untouched. On the road to the Internet of Things, this can only be achieved through people-oriented strategies, and tighter linkages between those that create technology and those that use it. In this way, we will be better equipped to face the challenges that modern life throws our way.Technology and markets cannot exist independently of the over arching principles of a social and ethical systemStatistical Annex: Mobile market data for top 20 economies (ranked by total subscriber numbers) as at 31 December 2004Total subscribers, penetration rate, proportion of which are 3G (IMT-2000) subscribers and price of OECD low-user basket in USD* 3G mobile or IMT-2000 , as defined by ITU includes subscribers to commercially available services using CDMA 2000 1x, CDMA 2000 1x EV-DO and W-CDMA standards.** Limited mobility Wireless Local Loop service available, for which WLL 9,921,780 subscribers at 31 December 2004.Statistical Annex: Broadband market data for top 20 economies (ranked by broadband penetration) as at 31 December 2004Total subscribers, penetration rate, as percentage of total internet subscribers and price in USD per 100 kbps。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two.TEXT AWe have a crisis on our hands. You mean global warming? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who's responsible? Actually, it's more like, What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it – Facebook, Twitter (微博). You can write your own list.There's been a warning about the imminent death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to spell doom for the written world. None did. Reading survived; in fact it not only survived, it has flourished. The world is more literate than ever before – there are more and more readers, and more and more books.The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Take the arrival of e-bookreaders as an example. Devices like Kindle make reading more convenient and are a lot more environmentally friendly than the traditional paper book.As technology makes new ways of writing possible, new ways of reading are possible. Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations, an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links: to texts, pictures, and videos. In the future, the way people write novels, history, and philosophy will resemble nothing seen in the past.On the other hand, there is the danger of trivialization. One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long "digests" of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span - that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone utterly in tune with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.In the 15th century, Johannes Guttenberg's invention of the printing press in Europe had a huge impact on civilization. Once upon a time the physical book was a challenging thing. We should remember this before we assume that technology is outto destroy traditional culture.81. Which of the following paragraphs briefly reviews the historical challenges for reading?A. Paragraph One.B. Paragraph Two.C. Paragraph Three.D. Paragraph Four.82. The following are all cited as advantages of e-books EXCEPT _____.A. multimodal contentB. environmental friendlinessC. convenience for readersD. imaginative design83. Which of the following can best describe how the author feels towardsingle-sentence-long novels?A. IronicB. Worried.C. Sarcastic.D. Doubtful.84. According to the passage, people need knowledge of modern technology and _____ to survive in the fast-changing society.A. good judgmentB. high sensitivityC. good imaginationD. the ability to focus85. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing.B. Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience.C. Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading.D. Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice.TEXT BI know when the snow melts and the first robins (知更鸟) come to call, when the laughter of children returns to the parks and playgrounds, something wonderful is about to happen.Spring cleaning.I'll admit spring cleaning is a difficult notion for modern families to grasp. T oday's busy families hardly have time to load the dishwasher, much less clean the doormat. Asking the family to spend the weekend collecting winter dog piles from the melting snow in the backyard is like announcing there will be no more Wi-Fi. It interrupts the natural order."Honey, what say we spend the weekend beating the rugs, sorting through the boxes in the basement and painting our bedroom a nice lemony yellow?" I say."Can we at least wait until the NBA matches are over?" my husband answers.But I tell my family, spring cleaning can't wait. The temperature has risen just enough to melt snow but not enough for Little League practice to start. Some flowers are peeking out of the thawing ground, but there is no lawn to seed, nor garden to tend. Newly wakened from our winter's hibernation (冬眠), yet still needing extra blankets at night, we open our windows to the first fresh air floating on the breeze and all of the natural world demanding "Awake and be clean!"Biologists offer a theory about this primal impulse to clean out every drawer and closet in the house at spring's first light,which has to do with melatonin, the sleepytime hormone (激素) our bodies produce when it's dark. When spring's light comes, the melatonin diminishes, and suddenly we are awakened to the dusty, virus-filled house we've been hibernating in for four months.I tell my family about the science and psychology of a good healthy cleaning at spring's arrival. I speak to them about life's greatest rewards waiting in the removal of soap scum from the bathtub, which hasn't been properly cleaned since the first snowfall."I'll do it," says the eldest child, a 21-year-old college student who lives at home. "You will? Wow!" I exclaim.Maybe after all these years, he's finally grasped the concept. Maybe he's expressing his rightful position as eldest child and role model. Or maybe he's going to Floridafor a break in a couple of weeks and he's being nice to me who is the financial-aid officer.No matter. Seeing my adult son willingly cleaning that dirty bathtub gives me hope for the future of his 12-year-old brother who, instead of working, is found to be sleeping in the seat of the window he is supposed to be cleaning."Awake and be clean!" I say.86. According to the passage, "...spring cleaning is a difficult notion for modern families to grasp" means that spring cleaning _____.A. is no longer an easy practice to understand.B. is no longer part of modern family life.C. requires more family members to be involved.D. calls for more complicated skills and knowledge.87. Which of the following is LEAST likely to be included infamily spring cleaning?A. Beating the rugs.B. Cleaning the window.C. Restoring Wi-Fi services.D. Cleaning the backyard.88. Why does the author say “spring cleaning can't wait”?A. Because there will be more activities when it gets warmer.B. Because the air is fresher and the breeze is lighter.C. Because the whole family is full of energy at spring time.D. Because the snow is melting and the ground is thawing.89. Which of the following interpretations of the biologists' theory about melatonin is INCORRECT?A. The production of melatonin in our bodies varies at different times.B. Melatonin is more likely to cause sleepiness in our bodies.C. The reduction of melatonin will cause wakefulness in our bodies.D. The amount of melatonin remains constant in our bodies.90. Which of the following can best sum up the author's overall reaction to her adult son's positive response to spring cleaning?A. Surprised and skeptical.B. Elated and hesitant.C. Relieved and optimistic.D. Optimistic and hesitant.TEXT CThese days lots of young Japanese do omiai, literally, "meet and look." Many of them do so willingly. In today's prosperous and increasingly conservative Japan, the traditional omiai kekkon, or arranged marriage, is thriving.But there is a difference. In the original omiai, the young Japanese couldn't reject the partner chosen by his parents and their middleman. After World War II, many Japanese abandoned the arranged marriage as part of their rush to adopt the more democratic ways of their American conquerors. The Western ren'ai kekkon, or love marriage, became popular; Japanese began picking their own mates by dating and falling in love.But the Western way was often found wanting in an important respect: it didn't necessarily produce a partner of the right economic, social, and educational qualifications. "Today's young people are quite calculating," says Chieko Akiyama,a social commentator.What seems to be happening now is a repetition of a familiar process in the country's history, the "Japanization" of an adopted foreign practice. The Western ideal of marrying for love is accommodated in a new omiai in which both parties are free to reject the match. "Omiai is evolving into a sort of stylized introduction," Mrs. Akiyama says.Many young Japanese now date in their early twenties, but with no thought of marriage. When they reach the age - in the middle twenties for women, the late twenties for men - they increasingly turn to omiai. Some studies suggest that as many as 40 % of marriages each year are omiai kekkon. It's hard to be sure, say those who study the matter, because many Japanese couples, when polled, describe their marriage as a love match even if it was arranged.These days, doing omiai often means going to a computer matching service rather than to a nakodo. The nakodo of tradition was an old woman who knew all the kids in the neighbourhood and went around trying to pair them off byspeaking to their parents;a successful match would bring her a wedding invitation and a gift of money. But Japanese today find it's less awkward to reject a proposed partner if the nakodo is a computer.Japan has about five hundred computer matching services. Some big companies, including Mitsubishi, run one for their employees. At a typical commercial service, an applicant pays $80 to $125 to have his or her personal data stored in the computer for two years and $200 or so more if a marriage results. The stored information includes some obvious items, like education and hobbies, and some not-so-obvious ones, like whether a person is the oldest child. (First sons, and to some extent first daughters, face an obligation of caring for elderly parents.)91. According to the passage, today's young Japanese prefer _____.A. a traditional arranged marriage.B. a new type of arranged marriage.C. a Western love marriage.D. a more Westernized love marriage.92. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?A. A Western love marriage tends to miss some Japanese values.B. Less attention is paid to the partner's qualification in arranged marriages.C. Young Japanese would often calculate their partner's wealth.D. A new arranged marriage is a repetition of the older type.93. According to the passage, the figure 40% (Paragraph Five) is uncertain because _____.A. there has been a big increase in the number of arranged。

Chuah concludes："Even if we disagree on certain things,we still continue to respect each other with the knowledge that none of us wants to do any harm.Because at the end of the day,we get to know each other more and become better Malaysians for it."4.Why is Chuah fond of the Arabic saying？______A. Because it was taught by his favorite teacher.B. Because it stresses the importance of setting goals.C. Because his name has the same meaning as the saying.D. Because it reminds him to spare no efforts to do things.5.Which saying can best explain Chuah's life philosophy______A. Great minds think alike.B. Diligence is the mother of success.C.

Speaking multiple languages fluently.7.What does Chuah mainly stress in the last two paragraphs______A. People should hold the same beliefs.B. Sharing common humanitarian values is not easy.C. It's vital to respect and live in harmony with each other.D. It's unacceptable to disagree on certain things.COver the past decade,drug-resistant diseases have appeared as a major health threat.But where do they develop the drug resistance One surprising theory：they may have developed the resistance on farms,and not in hospitals.The crop protection products farmers use to control many plant diseases are almost the same as the drugs doctors use to treat infections,including fungi（真菌）.Fungi are continually mutating （变异），and with a life cycle measured in days or weeks,they mutate quickly.When a mutation produces resistance to a chemical-killing fungi,fungi will jump to any host that provides a welcoming environment,such as a human body.And if the treatment for the fungal infection involves a drug similar to the fungicide encountered on the farm,fungi may develop quickly in the human body---just as they did in the field.An obvious solution is to use less fungicide in the field.Reducing fungicide use would not only slow the development of the drug resistance,it would help restore diversity to the fungal world.Fungicides are a must in the farming community.Plant diseases pose a major problem for farmers globally--in some crops,disease can reduce harvests by more than 70 percent--and failure to deal with the problem can mean financial ruin.Just like fungi---or,indeed,any living thing---plants continually evolve.This is how natural gene editing（基因编辑）works,and without it,we'd all still be single cells in a salty soup.Through natural selection,almost any plant will eventually produce resistance to fungi.But this can take centuries,so we don't have the time to wait.On the other hand,advances in genetics have given us an understanding of nature's gene editing process in plants,helping us develop resistance to a disease.Gene editing techniques can then enable us to produce disease resistance---just as nature would do,if given enough time.8.What can we infer about fungi from Paragraph 2？______A. They can treat infection sometimes.B. They don't stop developing new forms.C. A human body is their favorite place.D. There are no fungi in the fields now.9.What does the writer indicate in Paragraph 3______A. Using fungicide leads to a win-win situationB. Stopping using fungicide is a cure-all in agriculture.C. Reducing fungicide helps farmers making more money.D. Using fungicide is in a dilemma between drug resistance and crop harvest.10.What makes a plant produce resistance to fungi？______A. The survival of the fittest.B. Advances in technology.C. The use of farm chemicals.D. A welcoming environment.11.What can we learn from "natural gene editing"______A. Developing drug resistance.B. Making advances in genetics.C. Finding ways to evolve ourselves.D. Curing all kinds of diseases by editing genes.DThis November,I encourage the people of Arkansas to vote NO on a referendum（公投）to abolish the state's motorcycle helmet law.The state's current helmet law saves hundreds of lives per year,and it is senseless that people should be injured or killed merely because they are too vain to wear a helmet.Furthermore,helmet laws help to reduce public expenses on health care and have even been shown to prevent motorcycle theft.For these reasons,the citizens of Arkansas must oppose this referendum.One hardly needs to appeal to statistics to show that helmets protect motorcyclists against injury or death.For those who are skeptical,however,the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）calculates that in an accident helmets reduce the likelihood of fatal injury by 29%.If motorcyclists wish to protect themselves against injury and death,they shouldwear a helmet whenever they ride.Many opponents of the helmet law agree that helmets save motorcyclists' lives,but insist that the decision to wear a helmet should be left to the individual rider.Perhaps this argument would be valid if motorcyclists were the only ones negatively affected by their decision,but this is not the case.A 2002 study by the NHTSA concluded that only about half of all injured motorcyclists were properly insured,which means many of these riders likely relied on public funds to subsidize（补贴）their healthcare costs.If the citizens of Arkansas choose to abolish the helmet law,we can expect these costs to rise significantly,and at a time when our state is in a financial crisis.Helmet laws can also help reduce motorcycle theft.Few thieves think to bring a helmet with them when they steal a motorcycle,which makes them much easier for police to spot.In addition to making it easier to catch motorcycle thieves and recover stolen bikes,evidence shows that helmet laws can stop motorcycle theft from happening in the first place.After Texas passed a statewide helmet law,cities there saw rates of motorcycle theft drop by up to 44%.A drop in the rates of motorcycle theft directly reduces law enforcement expenses related to this crime,which is another benefit to all citizens.Opponents of the helmet law offer two main arguments.First,the law's detractors（诽谤者）argue that properly educating riders is the best way to avoid accidents.I agree entirely；all motorcycle riders should be properly educated and should ride their bikes responsibly.Some accidents,however,are unavoidable,and as I have argued,helmets significantly reduce health care expenses associated with all accidents.Second,opponents argue that helmet laws infringe on their personal freedom.Again,I agree that the government should avoid limiting individual choice whenever possible,but as I have shown,the decision to wear a helmet does not affect only the rider,so this issue is not a simple matter of individual liberty.The government must not allow a few individuals to make society bear the burden of their irresponsible choices.In a perfect world,helmet laws would not be necessary because all riders would wear them voluntarily.However,we do not live in a perfect world.Therefore we must require motorcyclists to make this socially responsible decision.12.Which of the following would provide the strongest proof for the author's claims______A. Helmet laws will unavoidably damage riders' personal freedom.B. Automobiles are a much more common target for theft than motorcycles.C. 80% of motorcyclists wear a helmet even when not required to do so by law.D. Healthcare costs related to motorcycle injuries will largely increase without the helmetlaw.13.The main purpose of paragraph 5 is to ______ .A. expose the logical flaws in opponents' argumentsB. stress that the helmet law violate human rights.C. prove that the author shares common ground with opponents of the lawD. emphasize the importance of rider education in preventing motorcycle accidents14.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined "infringe on" inParagraph 5______A. obtainB. abolishC. restrictD. release15.Which could be the best title for the passage？______A. Say No to helmet laws.B. Laws limits people's freedom.C. Wearing helmets reduces health care expenses.D. Vote No on the referendum to abolish helmet laws.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）The brain drain is characterized as the emigration of highly skilled laborers to other countries.(1) In the EU countries such as Poland,Italy and Portugal are especially affected by the brain drain,while other countries such as Sweden,Ireland and Denmark notice the opposite effect,namely brain gain.There are both push and pull factors affecting the brain drain.Pull factors include higher employment rates,higher salary and an increase in quality of life,while the push factors are high youth unemployment and high enterprise death rates.(2) These effects include a reduction in human capital,limited capacity to innovate,reduced economic growth,and a higher cost of public goods.There are positive side effects as well,such as return migration and incentives（动机）for investment in education.(3) The European Committee of the Regions,therefore,suggests that local and regional authorities develop instruments and promote measures to increase the attractiveness of the regions facing the brain drain.They should also set up local alliances（联盟），which can help in drafting and carrying out local policies.The brain drain's negative effects have been key concerns of the EU.As current economic andsocial differences between European regions are the main cause of the brain drain,the need for a strong association between Europe's cohesion（凝聚）policies has been stressed. (4) This will also help in adopting the measures expected to fight against the problem of the brain drain including investing in education and employment in European regions.A study launched by an organization of the EU analyzed several programs across Europe. (5) These are steps like understanding the need for skilled workers,creating mechanisms for cooperation between governments,corporations and universities,removing structural barriers,etc.A.This calls for a territorial approach.B.It is a problem faced by many parts of Europe.C.The brain drain can have a negative impact on the sending region.D.Brain waste happens in the meantime in most European countries.E.Two of the key objectives are also necessary to reduce the brain drain.F.It came up with a list of best practices for fighting against the brain drain.G.Such a policy should help in promoting an even development across the regions of Europe.16.
