Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compare. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
小題1:What is true about children when they play games?
A．They can stop playing any time they like.B．They can test their personal abilities.
C．They want to pick a better team.D．They don’t need rules.
小題2:To become a leader in a game the child has to _____.

A．Because he can be someone other than himself.
B．Because he can become popular among friends.
C．Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D．Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
小題5:The writer believes that _____.
A．children should make better rules for their games
B．children should invite grown-ups to play with them
C．children’s games can do them a lot of good
D．children play games without reasons

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:C
小題5:D

小題1:由“Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores.”可知，孩子們的游戲不需要什么規(guī)則，故選D。
小題2:由 “He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn”可知。
小題3:從第二段中我們可以看出，成年人認(rèn)為孩子們的游戲并不刺激，然而且玩而不厭，真是令人費(fèi)解。故選D。
小題4:從第一段中 “Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compare.”這一句可以看出，孩子們玩游戲在一定程度上全是為了碰運(yùn)氣。
小題5:由全文可知，孩子們的游戲不需要規(guī)則，更不需要理由。由這一句 “They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished.”也能看出需選D。

Life on-line can be a much richer experience when you aren’t restricted to just written words and still pictures.Even if you’re new to the Net,you’ve probably heard about multimedia on-line—listening to audio,watching animations and videos,even playing in three-dimensional space.Sound and movement make information come alive.
To experience it,you’ll need special pieces of software called plug-ins.The term “plug-in” refers to a small,add-on piece of software which extends the capabilities of your web browser,like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer,turning your computer into a radio or TV.
When you arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you don’t have,you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer.Most of the time,the installation will be automatic.
Occasionally,you’ll run into a downloaded file which needs to be decompressed or un-zipped before installation.Once installed,plug-ins run automatically,without you having to do anything.
Many multimedia controls still need to be obtained from the developer but are installed automatically.
Shockwave is a good example of this.All you need to do is go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the ActiveX control.The rest happens automatically.The next time you go to a “Shocked” website,the Shockwave control loads and plays the movie.
Most plug-ins and controls can be downloaded for free on the Internet,although not all will work with every system.Some of them,for instance,only work with Windows 95.
小題1:Plug-ins can help us to do all of the following except _________.
A．listening to music
B．watching animations and videos
C．playing three-dimensioned games
D．searching for information on the net
小題2:The correct explanation about “plug-in” is _________.
A．a(chǎn) radio or TV connected with a computer
B．a(chǎn) small,add-on piece of hardware which improves your web browser
C．a(chǎn) small,add-on piece of software which can turn your computer into a radio or TV
D．a(chǎn) small,add-on piece of software like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer
小題3:When we go to a “shocked” website a second time,_________.
A．we should go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the Active X control
B．the shockwave control loads itself and plays the movie for us
C．we will be asked whether to download the shockwave control or not
D．we have to buy the shockwave control and load it
小題4:Most of the time,how can we get a plug-in before automatic installation?
A．We have to buy it from the developer.
B．We have to borrow it from the developer.
C．We have to rent it from the developer.
D．We can obtain from the developer without paying.

Surfing—the art of riding a wave on a pointed board—is the wildest, fastest natural water sport known to man. In recent years, it has developed into a major sport around the world, from Australia to South Africa. Australians brave(挑戰(zhàn)) men—eating sharks to ride the green waves Down Under, Hawaiian experts risk(冒…之險(xiǎn)) their lives on huge, thirty foot swells(浪濤) against the wind of Oahu; Californians of all ages go out the year-round. In the winter, surf-riders put on life-suits to ride grave waves so cold that their flesh turns blue.
Surfing is no sport for weak persons. Swimming a quarter of a mile or more, and pushing a surfboard out to where the swells are just right for riding, can be real work. Then, at exactly the right moment, you climb up the wave and go fast across the face of a powerful swell with the white water jumping at your feet. The huge wave bites at your shoulder, threatening(威脅) at any moment to smash your flat. In the next several seconds, a cool head and lightning—quick action back to the pressure of the attacking wave will bring your board under control for that great ride down the back of the great, green mountain of water. Once on the beach, you know why surfing is growing in popularity as an international sport, and you’re glad to be a member of this new water world.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A．people around the world go surfing all the year round
B．the definition(定義) of the sport
C．how to surf in the sea
D．where to surf around the world
小題2:The author believes that surfing _______.
A．is not an easy sportB．can be done by anyone
C．should be done by everyoneD．does not require courage
小題3:In order to experience what real surfing is, _______.
A．you must first swim a quarter of a mile to warm your body
B．you will first ride on a board to reach the swells
C．you must first put on your life-suits before doing surfing
D．you must first swim to the swells with your board

Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT com­pany fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in Chi­na. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift—the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”
The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Mo­tors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood—our jobs, the Industries we work in, relationships and love as well.  
With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face more changes and cha­llenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?
whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely, Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.
Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign com­panies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.            
小題1:The whole passage is about _______.
A．people’s opinions about a bestseller of the US
B．what people think about China’s entry into the WTO
C．the change in people’s attitude towards changes and challenges
D．how a book influences the Chinese
小題2:The company in Beijing gave each of the 400 fired workers a copy of “Who Moved My Cheese” in order to _______.
A．be more competitive with foreign firms
B．find an excuse for their job cuts
C．let the workers make a living on their own
D．encourage the fired workers
小題3:The word “cheese” in the passage can refer to _______.
A．something we depend on for a living
B．a(chǎn) most important kind of food
C．change or challenge
D．way of life
小題4:From what Hengwei and Professor Zhang Yang said, we can know that _______.
A．they have different opinions on changes and challenges
B．people are not afraid of competition from foreign companies
C．the Chinese people are ready to face any changes and challenges
D．they are both greatly encouraged by the book

About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and — WHUMP! — it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. " That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?" "Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.
Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

A. b, a, e, c, d        B. a, c, d, b, e       C. b, a, c, e, d    D. a, c, b, e, d
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Josh would accept the money from the kids.  B. The two kids were Josh’s neighbors.

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(擋風(fēng)玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
“I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home.”
“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(困惑).
“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,” I protested.
“Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along, ” she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor, ” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”
1. Why did the writer say that he would have a long night?
A. He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.   B. No driver would give him a ride.
C. He didn’t know the routes.                            D. He perhaps would have to take a taxi.
2. Judging from its context, the place where the writer waited for the second bus was _______.
A. very quiet and peaceful                 B. dark without street lights
C. neither clean nor beautiful             D. a little unsafe
3. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?
A. No bus would come at the time.          B. A taxi ride would be more comfortable.
C. He became impatient and a bit worried.   D. He knew the driver would never return.
4. The bus driver drove the writer home later because ________.
A. she happened to go in the same direction  B. she wanted to do something good for other people
C. her brother told her to do so             D. she wanted to earn more money
5. The bus driver hoped that the writer ________
A. would do as she did                    B. would keep her in memory
C. would give the money to others         D. would do her a favor
