Computers. Love them or hate them, it is impossible to escape from them in the modern age. They are so much a part of our everyday lives—from instant messaging to e-mails. With many people preferring to use e-mail rather than traditional regular mail, it has become very important to be aware of how we express ourselves when using e-mail. The requirement of etiquette（網(wǎng)絡(luò)禮儀）is obviously needed.
Grammar and spelling
Firstly, if you are dealing with a formal e-mail, pay close attention to grammar and spelling. Don’t forget to run your spell-check (program) at the end of the document, but don’t treat it as the final word. Carefully re-read it yourself, as sometimes even spell and grammar checking programs come up with some strange explanations. Remember, your first e-mail to a potential employer or college could be your last — you won’t want to spoil your first impression by making basic errors.
E-mail addresses
Also, for official e-mails, carefully consider your existing e-mail address. A funny e-mail address (such as pinkfluffycutiepie@…com) may be fine for using with your friends, but what impression do you think this address might give to an employer or college admissions officer? Consider using one address for personal e-mails and a different one for formal use.
Upper case（大寫字母）
Take care also NOT TO TYPE UNNECESSARILY IN UPPER CASE, as this is the e-mail version of shouting.
Personal information
You should beware too about giving away too much personal information over the Internet. It may feel much more comfortable to “talk” using instant messages as there are no uncomfortable silences or awkward moments, but never forget that—unless the person you are speaking to is a friend or family member—you really know nothing about them, so be careful. Further to this, NEVER agree to meet a stranger that you have spoken to online, as it can be extremely dangerous.
My final message though is—have fun! The Internet is exciting, useful and informative. But, as with so many things that we believe we can’t live without, it is a much better servant than a master.
60．The text is mainly about______.
A．how to express ourselves when using e-mail
B．computers, so much a part of our everyday lives
C．the Internet, a much better servant than a master
D．paying close attention to grammar and spelling when dealing with a formal e-mail
61．What does the underlined word “beware” mean?
A．think          B．be careful          C．care     D．know
62．If you use all capital letters, it looks like you are______.
A．yelling             B．careful             C．unprofessional       D．childish
63．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A．As time goes by, many people prefer to use traditional regular mail again.
B．It’s fun to meet a stranger that you have spoken to online.
C．If you want to apply for a job, you can’t use a funny e-mail address when writing e-mails..
D．Grammar and spelling are not important when you write e-mails.
60-63 ABAC
本文講述了在我們使用電子郵件的時(shí)候，如何正確的表達(dá)自己。文章介紹了一些用電子郵件的網(wǎng)絡(luò)禮儀。
60．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段…it has become very important to be aware of how we express ourselves when using e-mail. 可知本文主要介紹在我們使用電子郵件的時(shí)候，如何正確的表達(dá)自己。
61．猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)第四段Take care also NOT TO…，可以看出You should beware too about giving away too much personal information over the Internet.中beware應(yīng)是take care的同義詞，即be careful，小心，注意。
62．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段Take care also NOT TO TYPE UNNECESSARILY IN UPPER CASE, as this is the e-mail version of shouting.可知，如果在寫電子郵件的時(shí)候，都用大寫，表示在大喊大叫，即A項(xiàng)中的yelling, 大喊。
63．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段A funny e-mail address may be fine for using with your friends, …Consider using one address for personal e-mails and a different one for formal use.可以看出，申請(qǐng)工作不應(yīng)該使用滑稽可笑的郵址的郵箱，而應(yīng)用適合正式場合使用的郵址的郵箱。

To extinguish (熄滅) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.
Since fuel, oxygen (氧氣) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.
Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.
A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.
The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.
68. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?
A. Sand           B. Water         C. A blanket.           D. An extinguisher.
69. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of         .
A. separating the fire                                 B. reducing the heat
C. removing the fuel                                 D. cutting off the oxygen
70. In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about          .
A. when it breaks out                                B. how it comes about
C. what kind it is                                       D. where it takes place
71. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Another class of fires                                   B. Another type of extinguishers
C. How fires break out.                                D. How fires can be prevented.

Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practising until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practises until he can play quickly, accurately, without thinking. Tennis players call that ”being in the zone.” Educators call it “automaticity”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois Schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others, and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary.
“It’s not I.Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity,” according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity. At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.
You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud—something unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expressions, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.
13．The first paragraph tells us            .
A．what automaticity is                    B．how accuracy is acquired
C．how a child learns to walk               D．how an athlete is trained
14．The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader’s high speed         .
A．costs him a lot of work            B．a(chǎn)ffects his comprehension
C．leads to his future success         D．doesn’t affect his comprehension
15．A bright child         .
A．a(chǎn)lso needs practice to be an automatic reader
B．a(chǎn)lways achieves great success in comprehension tests
C．becomes an automatic reader after learning how to read
D．is a born automatic reader
16．The main idea of the passage is           .
A．how to score high on comprehension tests
B．reading is the key to school success
C．how to test your child’s reading ability
D．a(chǎn)utomaticity is important for efficient reading

If there is no difference in general intelligence(智力)between boys and girls,what can explain girls' poor performance in science and mathematics?
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause.Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys,and therefore ,as girls become tee
nagers,they are less likely to take them.Interestingly,both boys and girls often
regard the subjects for boys as more difficult.Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses ,not because they are difficult,but for social reasons.Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine(女性的)and attractive.
However,if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses,there are still more high?achieving boys than there are girls.This difference appears to be world?wide.Biological explanations have been offered for this,but there are other explanations too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences.From their first days in kindergarten,boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks.Facts show that outstanding(杰出的)mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.
Besides,there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students.They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls.They spend more time with the boy students ,giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them.They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion.They also praise boys more frequently.All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence(信心)that they are able to succeed.
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics
and science courses,nor is it likely to support girls who do.When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
1.Girls are likely to think that____________.
A.science courses are for both boys and girls
B.science courses make them more popular
C.science courses make them successful        
D.science courses are difficult for them          
2.The text mainly discusses_____________reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements. 
A.biological         B.historical          C.social       D.personal          
3.What are boys usually encouraged to do at school?
A.To get help with their homework.        
B.To play the leading role in class.        
C.To work with girl students in class.        
D.To learn to take care of others.          
4.What does the passage say about great mathematicians?        
A.Their teachers did not supply answers to them.        
B.They started learning mathematics at an earlier age.        
C.They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.
D.Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics.?
5.The author would probably agree that_____________.
A.boys and girls learn in the same way        
B.boys and girls are equal in general intelligence        
C.girls are more confident in themselves than before        
D.girls should take fewer science courses than boys

My dad also taught me，by example，that a healthy lifestyle is important．He was hardly ever sick．But I don’l think my dad ever even had a cup of coffee．He barely touched alcohol．
He would say，“Boonnie，your voice is a reflection of your overall physical well-being．So if you want to sing well，take better care of yourself.” If I became hoarse(嘶啞)or caught a cold，he didn’t blame me directly：“Well，Bonnie，you know，if you’d get to sleep a little earlier，that would probably be a good idea．”When I decided to get unexcitable about 18 years ago，he told me．“See，
