As a result，Britain currently has over a million old fridges (3)_________in dumps in fields and in warehouses because the country does not have enough equipment to dispose (4)_________them.New European Union regulations say that from 1 January 2002，all material that depletes the ozone layer，such as CFC coolants，(5)_________from fridges before they are put in landfill sites.It is (6)_________to take quite a while to solve the problem. But it is not only fridges (7)_________are difficult to get rid of.What about old computers，TVs and other hi-tech junk？For example，Guangdong Province，in the southeast of China，has been suffering from problems (8)_________by imported waste electrical goods like computers.Workers there (9)_________old computers to extract the recyclable parts like chips，and precious metals (10)_________gold and platinum. 附： 处理垃圾是一个巨大的全球性问题。不幸的是，很多人通常不会考虑他们的旧冰箱在更新到最新型 号后会发生什么。少数人只是把它扔在街上而不加思索。 结果，英国目前有超过 100 万台旧冰箱在田野和仓库的垃圾堆中腐烂，因为该国没有足够的设备来 处理它们。新的欧盟法规规定，从 2002 年 1 月 1 日起，所有会消耗臭氧的材料 CFC 冷却剂等层，必须 在放入垃圾填埋场之前从冰箱中清除。解决问题可能需要相当长的时间。 但难以摆脱的不仅是冰箱，旧电脑、电视机等高科技垃圾怎么办？比如中国东南部的广东省，就一 直饱受进口废旧电器的困扰。像电脑。那里的工人一直在分解旧电脑，以提取芯片等可回收部件，以及 黄金和铂金等贵金属。 1.[答案]B.to 2.[答案]A.in 3.[答案]D.rotting 4.[答案]C.of 5.[答案]D.must be removed 6.[答案]D.likely 7.[答案]A.that6 8.[答案]C.caused 9.[答案]B.have been breaking up 10.[答案]B.like [题目]提示：请将正确答案的序号(大写字母 ABC)填写在空白处，系统自动判分 The world’s urban population，(1)_________at four times the rate of rural populations，will double in the period 1990 - 2025，to over five billion.Consequently，(2)_________of the people of the world will live in cities，some of (3)_________will be huge.Moreover，about 90% of the growth will be in developing countries.This growth，adding around 60 million people per year (4)_________city populations，will be mainly in Southeast Asia and Africa.The consequences are dramatic.This is change on a scale never before (5)_________，bringing with it considerable challenges and opportunities. Why does this growth happen？Most of it results (6)_________internal migration rather than the international movement of people，and is caused by a variety of push and pull factors. One push factor is due to pressure (7)_________land availability.Improved health brings population growth， causing people to move out of rural areas.Others move because of climate change or poor farming methods which often result in deforestation and flooding.Such changes can alter the social structure，leading people (8)_________move.Furthermore，civil war or regional conflicts also cause disruption，driving people out of rural areas. On the other hand，there are the pull factors.Cities attract people because of the demand (9)_________labour in the manufacturing and service industries.As a result，they offer a higher standard of living (10)_________the lucky ones.Cities also tend to offer greater personal freedom. … 附： 世界城市人口的增长速度是农村人口的四倍，在 1990 年至 2025 年期间将翻一番，达到 50 亿以上。 因此，世界三分之二的人将生活在城市中，其中一些人将居住在城市中。此外，大约 90%的增长将来自 发展中国家。这种增长，每年为城市人口增加约 6000 万人，将主要在东南亚和非洲。后果是巨大的。 这是规模上的变化从未有过的经历，带来了巨大的挑战和机遇。 为什么会出现这种增长？大部分是国内移民，而不是国际人口流动，是多种推拉因素造成的。 一个推动因素是由于土地供应压力。改善健康带来人口增长，导致人们迁出农村地区。其他人因气 候变化或不良耕作方法而迁徙，这往往导致森林砍伐和洪水。这些变化可能会改变社会结构，导致人们 迁移。此外，内战或地区冲突也会造成混乱，将人们赶出农村。 另一方面，还有拉动因素。城市吸引人是因为制造业和服务业对劳动力的需求。因此，他们为幸运 者提供了更高的生活水平。城市也倾向于提供更多的个人自由。 … 1.[答案]B.increasing 2.[答案]C.two-thirds 3.[答案]A.which 4.[答案]C.to 5.[答案]B.experienced 6.[答案]D.from 7.[答案]B.on 8.[答案]C.to move 9.[答案]A.for 10.[答案]D.to [题目]Interviewer – Why is English so important？ David-Well，English is so important primarily because so many people speak it and use it，so it has now become the lingua franca in the world (1)_________a way that we＇ve never seen before.We(2)_________a world language of this kind before.So people are learning it not just to be able to communicate (3)_________native speakers，but also with speakers of other languages around the world. Interviewer-And why has it become that dominant language？7 David-I think the reason (4)_________that is actually very complicated，although in the twentieth century， we can just see that it＇s the rise of the US military and consumer power.I mean the technology，all the big developments in technology largely came from the US.So all of these developments actually (5)_________within the English language，and people had to learn English in order to understand them，or to benefit (6)_________them.The Internet is only one example of that kind.Once a language has (7)_________that position of dominance，it＇s actually very difficult (8)_________it.So we could be seeing the emergence of other big languages in the world (9)_________more important than they have been，like Spanish， but it＇s unlikely (10)_________they＇re going to shift English from its position of dominance. [题目]面试官—为什么英语如此重要？ 大卫-嗯，英语之所以如此重要，主要是因为有这么多人说和使用它，所以它现在以一种我们从未见 过的方式成为世界通用语。我们从未有过这种世界语言以前。所以人们学习它不仅是为了能够与母语人 士交流，而且还与世界各地的其他语言的人交流。 采访者—为什么它会成为主流语言？ 大卫-我觉得原因其实很复杂，虽然在二十世纪，我们只能看到是美国军事和消费大国的崛起。美国。 所以所有这些发展实际上都是在英语中产生的，人们必须学习英语才能理解它们，或从中受益。互联网 只是其中一个例子。一旦一种语言进入了它主导地位，实际上很难转移。所以我们可能会看到世界上其 他主要语言的出现变得比以往更重要，比如西班牙语，但它们不太可能将英语从它的支配地位。 1.[答案]B.in 2.[答案]C.have never had 3.[答案]C.with 4.[答案]A.for 5.[答案]D.were produced 6.[答案]C.from 7.[答案]A.got into 8.[答案]B.to shift 9.[答案]C.becoming 10.[答案]A.that [题目]There are over 80 species of whales，dolphins and porpoises，(1)_________collectively as ‘cetaceans’，throughout the world.They come in all shapes and sizes.Here are some facts and figures about these incredible animals.

The Causes The reasons for the changes are complex.It is clear that pollution of the air and water by factories is affecting the environment.Trees and other vegetation die，and so soil is eroded.The more trees that die，the less water is held in the earth.The need for wood for fuel and buildings leads to further deforestation，which causes further soil erosion.Local farmers find it more and more difficult to make a living.They end up using inefficient farming methods，which again leads to soil erosion. The Solutions The Government is carrying out anti-desertification projects，including the creation of a forest belt around deserts.The tree-planting campaign，known as the Great Green Wall，is meant to protect Beijing from sandstorms.China hopes to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010and plans to establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050. 附： [题目]案例研究：戈壁沙漠周围的荒漠化 问题 中国北部的戈壁沙漠现在比英国大七倍。中国沙漠面积大，大部分农田正受到沙漠化的威胁，而且 越来越严重。此外，水土流失导致了巨大的耕地流失，河流干涸。因此，3500 万人的生计受到威胁，甚 至影响到城市。最近的沙丘距离北京不到 100 英里，令人不快的沙尘暴越来越频繁。情况越糟，政府采 取行动的压力就越大。 原因 变化的原因很复杂。很明显，工厂对空气和水的污染正在影响环境。树木和其他植被死亡，土壤被 侵蚀。死亡的树木越多，土壤中的水就越少。土地。燃料和建筑对木材的需求导致进一步的森林砍伐， 导致进一步的水土流失。当地农民发现越来越难以谋生。他们最终使用低效的耕作方法，再次导致水土 流失。 解决方案9 政府正在开展防治荒漠化项目，包括在沙漠周围建立森林带。植树运动，被称为绿色长城，旨在保 护北京免受沙尘暴。中国希望控制沙漠土地的扩张到 2010 年，计划到 2050 年在沙漠地区建立保护生态 系统。 操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。 1.According to this passage，the Gobi desert is_________.

Apparently，the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of think global，act local.McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their Mac meals to different cultures，it was more successful than having a standardized set of products that taste the same everywhere.So now，around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a local flavor.For example，in Hong Kong，food called Shake Shake Fries and Red Bean Sunday can be found on the menu，while in Switzerland，Vegi Macs are served. However，fast food is not popular with everyone.It is often called junk food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat.Furthermore，many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of13 waste，while millions of people in developing countries go hungry.At the same time，more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home.Convenience food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer，or some other supermarket chain，to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work.It is even easier to buy a take-away from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home. 附： [题目]全球食品 妈妈，我们可以去麦当劳吗？ 有人可能会问，如果没有快餐，我们今天会在哪里？父母会带孩子去哪里吃饭？ 据报道，美国家庭消费的膳食中约有 30%是在汉堡王和塔可钟等大型连锁店之一吃的，尽管可能没 有一家比麦当劳更出名。现在大多数地方都可以看到独特的金色拱门 2002 年，麦当劳在 120 多个国家 拥有约 25,000 家餐厅，每天为 2900 万人提供服务。 显然，他们成功的秘诀在于全球化思维、本土化行动的营销策略。麦当劳了解到，如果他们将 Mac 餐食适应不同的文化，那比拥有一套标准化的产品组合更成功。所以现在，大约 80%的麦当劳餐厅都是 特许经营给当地人的，他们提供具有当地风味的食物。例如，在香港，菜单上可以找到名为 Shake Shake Fries 和 Red Bean Sunday 的食物，而在瑞士，Vegi Macs 是服务。 然而，快餐并不是所有人都喜欢的。它通常被称为垃圾食品，因为据说它不健康且富含脂肪。此外， 许多人声称快餐连锁店产生了大量的废物，而发展中国家的数百万人饿了。与此同时，越来越多的人不 再在家做新鲜的食物。方便食品太方便了！对于工作繁忙的人来说，在下班回家的路上打电话到当地的 马莎百货或其他连锁超市购买现成的饭菜是很容易的，买外卖就更容易了从当地餐厅或拿起电话订购披 萨送到您家。 操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。 1.The secret of fast food chains’ success is_________.

Offshore wind in the North Sea alone can produce nearly twice the electricity needs of the North Sea countries.Using only 20% of that would supply one-third of these countries’ electricity.Greenpeace are going to challenge governments and industry to make this happen.15 The Rainbow Warrior sailed today to Horns Rev，the world’s largest offshore wind park，which is being built off the coast of Denmark.Another Greenpeace ship，the Arctic Sunrise，will begin the second part of the global tour in Southeast Asia next month. During these weeks，Greenpeace will be conducting this global tour with two ships to show that renewable energy is ready and able to replace dirty coal，oil，gas and nuclear power – not only in the future， but today，said a Greenpeace spokesperson. Wind energy is reported to be competitive with coal and gas power generation and clearly beats costly nuclear power.The UK government’s energy review claimed that wind energy will be the cheapest energy source by 2020. Next month，the Arctic Sunrise will be visiting the Philippines and Thailand，where communities are rejecting dirty，old-fashioned energy technology like coal-fired power stations and demanding clean，renewable energy. 附： [题目]6 月 26 日，星期三，HORNS REV，丹麦：在 8 月约翰内斯堡地球峰会之前，绿色和平组织的“彩 虹勇士”号船今天开始了支持可再生能源发展的全球旅程的第一部分世界各地。 仅北海的海上风能就可以产生几乎是北海国家电力需求的两倍。仅使用其中的 20% 就可以提供这 些国家三分之一的电力。绿色和平组织将挑战政府和工业界来实现这一目标。 彩虹勇士号今天驶往丹麦海岸正在建造的世界上最大的海上风电场 Horns Rev。绿色和平组织的另 一艘船北极日出号将于下个月在东南亚开始第二部分的全球巡演。 在这几周内，绿色和平组织将用两艘船进行这次全球巡演，以表明可再生能源已经准备好并能够取 代肮脏的煤炭、石油、天然气和核能—不仅在未来，而且在今天，绿色和平组织的一位发言人说。 据报道，风能与煤炭和天然气发电相比具有竞争力，并且明显优于成本高昂的核能。英国政府的能 源评估报告称，到 2020 年，风能将成为最便宜的能源。 下个月，北极日出将访问菲律宾和泰国，那里的社区正在拒绝燃煤发电站等肮脏的老式能源技术， 并要求使用清洁的可再生能源。 1.The purpose of the global tour was_________.

Statistics show that the situation is changing.For instance，three years ago 75% of web pages were in English，but that number has dropped to 50% today. Furthermore，Internet use among non-native speakers of English is growing at a faster rate than that of native English speakers.By 2003，the number of native English-speaking web users will have dropped to 29%， according to one estimate. As a result，some researchers say that the early predominance of English is going to decline.They say that English will keep a special role in connecting communities whose native languages are different，but in about 20 years’ time，Spanish，French，Arabic and Chinese will also have taken on this connecting role. If this is true，then monolingual native English speakers may be more likely to learn another language and also become bilingual，or even multilingual. 附： [题目]英语将永远是主要的互联网语言吗？ 互联网连接多种文化的能力鼓励多样性。然而，目前，英语在网上占主导地位，因为从一开始它就 是网络空间的通用语。会一直如此吗？ 目前约有 70%的互联网使用英语，但只有约 44%的互联网用户以英语为母语。在全球范围内，以西 班牙语为母语的在线人数超过了以英语为母语的人，而以中文为母语的人数超过了这两个群体的总和。 统计数据表明情况正在发生变化。例如，三年前 75%的网页是英文的，而今天这个数字已经下降到 50%。 此外，非英语母语者的互联网使用增长速度快于英语母语者。据一项估计，到 2003 年，以英语为 母语的网络用户数量将下降到 29%。 因此，一些研究人员表示，早期英语的主导地位将下降。他们表示，英语将在连接母语不同的社区 方面发挥特殊作用，但在大约 20 年的时间里，西班牙语、法语、阿拉伯语和中国人也将扮演这种联系 角色。 如果这是真的，那么以英语为母语的单语者可能更有可能学习另一种语言并成为双语，甚至多语。 1.English became the dominant Internet language because_________.

An electronic book，or e-book，is simply a version of a book that allows you to store and display it digitally.There are already thousands of classic and best-selling titles available on websites such as ebooks.com. E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit.You can also highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have had bad eyesight.In fact，e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic. Another advantage is that it let you buy books in segments and carry them around easily，which should appeal to students.In fact，the University of South Dakota is planning to give hand-held devices to all its students to help them in their study. However，for all this，the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big.A recent report predicted sales of just 1.9million in the next 5years.And the reason？E-books are more difficult to read and they are just not as attractive as the printed word. 附： [题目]告别平装本了吗？ 史蒂文·金(Steven King)出版他的《骑着子弹》一书，几小时内就有大约 200 万人从互联网上下载。 这是电子书第一次做大生意，给出版业敲响了警钟。 电子书或电子书只是书籍的一个版本，可让您以数字方式存储和显示它。在 ebooks.com 等网站上已 经有数以千计的经典和畅销书。 电子书技术可以让您在一个小单元中携带整个图书馆。如果您视力不好，您还可以突出显示单词以 提高其定义或增加字体大小。事实上，电子书阅读器正在开发中适用于视力受损或阅读障碍的人。 另一个优点是它可以让您分段购买书籍并轻松携带它们，这应该会吸引学生。事实上，南达科他大 学正计划向所有学生提供手持设备，以帮助他们学习。 然而，尽管如此，目前的电子书阅读器不太可能做大。最近的一份报告预测，未来 5 年的销量只有 190 万本。原因是什么？电子书更难阅读，它们只是不像印刷的字那么吸引人。 [题目] 1.Which statement about Riding the Bullet from the passage is NOT TRUE？ A.It was published by Steven King. B.Less than two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours. C.It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business. D.It was a wake-up call for the publishing industry. [答案]B 附：31 1.文中关于骑子弹的说法不正确的是？ A.它是由史蒂文·金出版的。 B.不到 200 万人在几小时内从 Internet 下载了它。 C.电子书第一次做大生意。 D.这给出版业敲响了警钟。 [答案]B 2.The word appeal to in Para.4 probably means_________. A.to make a request B.to be attractive to C.to be interested in D.to take a question to a higher court [答案]B 附： 2.第 4 段中的上诉一词可能是_________。 A.提出请求 B.有吸引力 C.感兴趣 D.向上级法院提出问题 [答案]B 3.Which of the following statements is NOT the advantage of E- books？ A.They can be stored and displayed digitally.

A.e-book readers will not be made in a big way B.e-books will bring about great changes C.e-book readers will be made bigger and larger D.e-books will not succeed in the near future [答案]D 附： 4.话虽这么说，但目前的电子书阅读者不太可能做大，作者暗示_________。 A.电子书阅读器不会大制作 B.e-books 将带来巨大的变化 C.电子书阅读器将越来越大 D.e-books 在不久的将来不会成功 [答案]D 5.From this passage we can learn that_________. A.e-books are better than ordinary books because the letters are clear B.e-books are not good for people who find reading difficult C.e-books allow you to store a library in a small unit32 D.sales of e-books are expected to increase rapidly in the future [答案]C 附： 5.从这段话中我们可以了解到_________。 A.电子书比普通书好，因为字母清晰 B.电子书不适合阅读困难的人 C.e-books 允许您将图书馆存储在一个小单元中 D.未来电子书销量有望快速增长 [答案]C [题目]Mobile Phones Save Lives Mobile phones have changed many people’s lives.Here are two people who tell their terrifying stories. Paul I was traveling alone in Western Australia last year，and one day I set off to climb a high peak in that area.Although in the summer there are many tourists，I was there out of season so there weren’t any tour groups.Soon after I reached the top，it began to drizzle and the fog came down.Very soon，it was so thick that I couldn’t even make out the path.I take my phone with me everywhere because you never know when you will need it.Eventually I called my dad，who was 9,000 miles away in the UK.He told me to phone the local emergency services，but I felt so stupid that I didn’t want to.Luckily，my dad realized this and made up his mind to call them himself.The rescuers called me on my mobile to find out exactly where I was，but unfortunately the battery ran out after five seconds.I lay down under a rock and waited-it was nearly night-time and I was cold and wet.Just as they were about to call off the search for the night，they found me.Fortunately one rescuer had said Let’s try for just five more minutes.If they had given up，I would have died. Dave In march 1998 I was working as a journalist in the Kosovan war.A cameraman and I had heard that in one village there was fighting，so we decided to go to investigate.We climbed up the hillside although we were in danger there from snipers.We knew that if we didn’t get close enough to the village，we wouldn’t get the best pictures.In fact，we got some brilliant photos，but then it was so dangerous that we decided to turn back.We were running along a path on the side of the hill when we were fired at-I felt something hit me but there was no pain.When we finally reached our base I thought I had better ring my wife and let her know I was okay.I reached for my mobile phone and found that a bullet had gone through my wallet and embedded itself in the phone.I was so happy that I cried.If I hadn’t had my mobile phone，the shot would have killed me. 附： [题目]手机拯救生命 手机改变了很多人的生活。这里有两个人讲述了他们可怕的故事。 保罗 去年我一个人在西澳旅行，有一天我出发去攀登那个地区的一座高峰。虽然夏天游客很多，但我在 那里淡季，所以没有任何旅行团。很快到了山顶，开始下毛毛雨，雾也降了下来。很快，浓到我连路都 认不出来了。我随身带着手机，因为你永远不知道什么时候需要它。最后我给我爸打了电话，他在 9000 英里外的英国。他让我打电话给当地的紧急服务部门，但我觉得自己太愚蠢了，我不想这样做。幸运的 是，我爸意识到了这一点并下定了决心自己打电话给他们。救援人员用我的手机打电话给我，想知道我 在哪里，但不幸的是，五秒钟后电池就用完了。我躺在一块石头下等待—已经快到晚上了，我很冷，湿 的。就在他们准备取消夜间搜索时，他们找到了我。幸好一名救援人员说让我们再试五个分钟。如果他 们放弃了，我早就死了。 戴夫 1998 年 3 月，我在科索沃战争中担任记者。我和一名摄影师听说在一个村庄发生了战斗，所以我们 决定去调查。尽管我们有狙击手的危险，但我们还是爬上了山坡。我们知道，如果我们离村子不够近， 我们就不会拍到最好的照片。事实上，我们拍到了一些很棒的照片，但后来太危险了，我们决定折返。 我们一直在奔跑当我们被射击时，山坡上的一条小路-我感到有什么东西击中了我，但没有疼痛。当我们33 终于到达基地时，我想我最好给妻子打电话，让她知道我没事。我伸手去拿我的手机，发现一颗子弹穿 过了我的钱包，嵌入了手机。我高兴得哭了。如果我没有手机，子弹会杀了我。 [题目] 1.Even though Kosovo was full of danger，Dave still went to investigate because he is a_________.

Just over 70% of people questioned for the survey said the net had become essential.The survey reveals that emailing friends and others is the nation’s favourite Internet activity.It also found that people spend an average of seven hours a week online，visiting 13 different websites in seven days.But 10% of all those who surf the net are doing it for more than 20 hours a week. Just over 2,000 adults in Britain were interviewed for the report.The study found almost 19million people in the UK-four in ten adults-regularly went online.But the number of new users has slowed down.Numbers online grew by just 11% over the past 12 months compared with 33% the previous year. The report also reveals the increasing importance of the silver surfer.According to the report the number of older people online grew by more than 40% over the past year.People aged over 55now make up 17% of the UK Internet population. The survey also discovered that many workers surf the net for personal reasons while at work.Almost three-quarters of workers with Internet access admitted using it for pleasure，usually to email friends and family.According to Bill Wills，author of the survey，many employees expect some flexibility，and most employers are willing to accept this.However，employers are less likely to be understanding，if you’re downloading movies or introducing an unfriendly virus to your company network，he said. 附： [题目]网络成为英国人的生活方式 市场研究公司 Netinfo 本周发布的一份报告称，互联网已成为大多数英国人日常生活的一部分。 超过 70%的受访者表示网络已变得必不可少。调查显示，向朋友和其他人发送电子邮件是该国最喜 欢的互联网活动。它还发现，人们每周平均花费 7 小时上网，访问 13 个不同的地方 7 天内的网站。但 所有上网的人中有 10% 每周上网时间超过 20 小时。 仅 2,000 多名英国成年人接受了该报告的采访。该研究发现，英国有近 1900 万人(十分之四的成年 人)定期上网。但新用户的数量已经放缓。在线人数仅增长了 11%过去 12 个月与前一年相比为 33%。 该报告还揭示了银牌冲浪者的重要性日益增加。根据该报告，过去一年上网的老年人人数增长了 40%以上。55 岁以上的人现在占英国互联网人口的 17%。 调查还发现，许多员工在工作时出于个人原因上网。几乎四分之三的有互联网接入的员工承认使用 它是为了消遣，通常是给朋友和家人发电子邮件。根据调查作者比尔威尔斯的说法，许多人员工期望一 些灵活性，大多数雇主都愿意接受这一点。但是，如果您正在下载电影或将不友好的病毒引入公司网络， 雇主不太可能理解，他说。35 [题目] 1.Around_________people questioned for the survey think that the Internet has become essential.

I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went away，and you need to know about them before you can start work. The main change is that we have had a new computer system installed.You will need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients! I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10o’clock on Monday with our IT consultant，Gerry.He’s a really nice guy. It’s especially important that you can use the patient records system.We’ve had a few teething problems， and it seems complicated at first; but when you get used to it，you’ll find it really helpful.For example，it’s much quicker than the old system.Remember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen？Well，now it’s very quick. You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking system，so you can see who your next patient is.The new program makes it impossible to double-book a patient，so we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to. As well as the computer system，we’ve also installed a new electronic security door.You will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two months.I’m afraid we made Bill redundant.It’s a shame; I used to enjoy talking to him every morning. Well，I hope you like the improvements.Most people find that it makes their work easier and faster.There is one downside though; the atmosphere has become less personal.I used to talk to everyone a lot，but now we communicate by email most of the time.I even email people who work in the same room as me! Well，see you on Monday，Brett.Nice to have you back. Best wishes, Simon 附： [题目]主题：重组 日期：2005 年 11 月 12 日 来自：西蒙·哈里斯 至：布雷特 抄送： 亲爱的布雷特，37 欢迎回到圣斯威森。我期待听到您在美国的冒险经历。 我写这篇文章是因为你离开后发生了很多变化，你需要在开始工作之前了解它们。 主要变化是我们安装了一个新的计算机系统。您需要接受系统使用培训才能看到任何患者！我已经 为你安排了周一 10 点与我们的 IT 顾问格里一起参加的培训课程。他是一个非常好的人。 尤其重要的是你可以使用病历系统。我们遇到了一些初期的问题，一开始看起来很复杂；但是当你 习惯它时，你会发现它真的很有帮助。例如，它比旧系统快得多。还记得你曾经等待很长时间才能在屏 幕上显示信息吗？嗯，现在它非常快。 您还需要熟悉预约系统，这样您就可以看到您的下一位患者是谁。新的程序使重复预约患者变得不 可能，所以我们不应该像以前那样收到那么多的投诉。 除了电脑系统，我们还安装了一个新的电子防盗门。你需要一张前台的特殊卡，每两个月需要更换 一次。恐怕我们让比尔变得多余了。真可惜；我以前每天早上都喜欢和他说话。 好吧，我希望你喜欢这些改进。大多数人发现它使他们的工作更轻松、更快捷。不过也有一个缺点； 气氛变得不那么个人化了。我以前和大家聊天很多，但现在我们大部分时间都是通过电子邮件交流。我 什至给和我在同一个房间工作的人发电子邮件！ 好吧，星期一见，布雷特。很高兴你回来。 最良好的祝愿， 西蒙 [题目] 1.Brett has just come back from_________.

On the one hand，you may save money on fares and eating out because you are working at home.There are fewer interruptions in your day as there is nobody to chat to.Equally，you can organize your time better in order to suit the needs of your family.You are at home if there is a family emergency that needs dealing with. However，you may feel isolated and find it difficult to work well without the stimulus of colleagues’ thoughts and opinions.While you may save money on fares and eating out，you may spend more on gas and electricity at home.As well as this，you may need to invest in computers and communications equipment.In addition，it can be difficult to make a distinction between work and home life，and you may find yourself working 18 hours a day at a lower rate rather than 8 hours more intensely. In conclusion，working at home does not suit everybody.However，for those who enjoy it，there is more freedom and flexibility in the working day. 附： [题目]为什么很多人选择在家工作？在做出这样的决定之前必须考虑很多优点和缺点。在这篇文章中， 我们来看看其中的一些。39 一方面，你可以节省车费和外出就餐，因为你在家里工作。因为没有人可以聊天，所以你的一天中 的干扰更少。同样，你可以更好地安排你的时间以满足需要你的家人。如果有需要处理的家庭紧急情况， 你就在家里。 但是，如果没有同事的想法和意见的刺激，你可能会感到孤立，很难做好工作。虽然你可以节省车 费和外出就餐的钱，但你可能会花更多的钱在家里的煤气和电费上。除此之外，您可能需要投资购买电 脑和通讯设备。此外，您可能很难区分工作和家庭生活，您可能会发现自己每天工作 18 小时的速度比 8 小时更紧张。 总之，在家工作并不适合每个人。但是，对于喜欢在家工作的人来说，工作日有更多的自由和灵活 性。 [题目] 1.Which statement is NOT mentioned in Para 2？ A.You may save money on fares and food.

Interestingly，however，despite the fact that the British have the shortest holidays and the longest working hours in the EU，the UK＇s GDP per worker is one of the lowest in Europe.

The inventor’s newest product，the shiny，slim pocket-size cell phone，has a tiny keyboard，a built-in digital camera and narrow openings for added memory.The smart phone market makes up only five percent of overall mobile phone sales today，but the figure has been doubling each year.In the United States，it’s the business crowd that’s primarily buying these handsets.What makes the smart phone so much better than the computer is that it’s always with you，always up and always ready，says one of them，who works in an 80-member law firm，which recently started giving its lawyers smart phones instead of laptops. 附： [题目]随着我们的手机变得更智能、更小、更快，并让用户能够高速连接到互联网，一个明显的问题出 现了：手机会变成下一台电脑吗？从某种意义上说，它已经有了。今天的大多数复杂的手机都具有 1990 年代中期 PC 的处理能力，而耗电量却减少了 100 倍。如今，越来越多的手机具有类似计算机的功能， 允许其所有者发送电子邮件、浏览 (浏览) Web 甚至拍照；去年出货了 8400 万部带数码相机的手机。我 们问手机是否会取代 PC，这个问题突然变得可疑。PC 支持者说手机太小，连接互联网太慢对现在在今 天电脑的大屏幕和键盘上执行的任务变得有效。手机迷们回应：等着吧。未来的技术将解决手机的局限 性。有一天，两三十亿人将拥有手机，一位智能手机的发明者和一家重要智能手机公司的首席技术官表 示，他们不会拥有个人电脑。手机将成为他们的数字生活。 发明者的最新产品，闪亮、纤薄的袖珍手机，有一个小键盘、一个内置数码相机和用于增加内存的 狭窄开口。智能手机市场目前仅占手机总销量的 5%，但这个数字每年都在翻倍。在美国，购买这些手51 机的主要是商界人士。智能手机比电脑好得多的原因在于它始终与您同在，随时待命，随时准备就绪， 一位说他们在一家拥有 80 名成员的律师事务所工作，该事务所最近开始为其律师提供智能手机而不是 笔记本电脑。 [题目] 1.The author believes that the mobile phone has already turned into the next computer to some extent， since_________.

HISTORY At the end of the First World War，the decision was taken to combine two military airfields，and to make them the Air Port of London-the capital’s official customs arrival or departure point for all international flights. When the airport opened in 1920，scheduled flights were introduced，carrying passengers，mail and freight to Paris，Amsterdam and Rotterdam，and from 1923 to Berlin.Every effort was made to provide a luxurious standard of in-flight accommodation and entertainment.Passengers wearing evening-dress and ball gowns made the short flight to Paris: they danced and drank champagne during the trip. Many of the aircraft themselves would be unrecognisable today.Empire Flying Boats offering luxurious travel and first class accommodation catered for the privileged few.There was plenty of space to relax during the many hours in the air，which was very important because trips to the furthest corners of Africa，India and the Far East were measured in days not hours. Croydon witnessed many of the early landmarks of international flight.Croydon airport finally closed in 1959-it was unable to expand enough to cope with the massive growth in air travel after the Second World War. Today you can visit Croydon airport and relive the romance and excitement of the early days of air travel.You can board an Empire Flying Boat standing majestically in open fields and you can eat a meal cooked in the style of that day.You can even operate the old air traffic control machines from the top of the original control tower. 附： [题目]在两次战争之间，克罗伊登的名字在世界范围内闻名，因为它拥有魅力和浪漫的承诺。原因是克 罗伊登机场的存在：对于少数能够负担得起航空旅行的人来说，这是通往欧洲和世界的起点.它是大英帝 国航空邮件服务的中心，也是许多英雄长途飞行的起点或终点。克罗伊登是世界上第一个国际机场。 历史 第一次世界大战结束时，决定将两个军用机场合并，并将其作为伦敦的机场—所有国际航班的首都 官方海关到达或出发点。53 机场于 1920 年启用时，引入了定期航班，运送旅客、邮件和货物到巴黎、阿姆斯特丹和鹿特丹， 并从 1923 年到柏林。尽一切努力提供豪华标准的机上住宿和娱乐。乘客穿着晚礼服和舞会礼服短途飞 往巴黎：他们在旅途中跳舞并喝香槟。 许多飞机本身在今天将面目全非。帝国飞行船提供豪华旅行和头等舱住宿，只为少数特权人士提供 服务。在空中的许多小时内有足够的空间放松，这非常重要，因为前往最远的地方非洲、印度和远东的 角落以天而不是小时来衡量。 克罗伊登见证了许多国际航班的早期地标。克罗伊登机场最终于 1959 年关闭—它无法扩大到足以 应对二战后航空旅行的大规模增长。 今天您可以参观克罗伊登机场，重温早期航空旅行的浪漫和刺激。您可以登上帝国飞艇雄伟地站在 开阔的田野中，您可以享用当天风格的饭菜。您甚至可以操作原来控制塔顶部的旧空中交通管制机器。 [题目] 1.Croydon airport became so famous worldwide between the two world wars just because_________.

China had launched a number of satellites before October 2003 when the first manned spaceship was launched，powered by the Long March 2F rocket.The spacecraft Shenzhou V，carrying Cononel Yang Liwei， orbited the Earth 14 times in a mission that lasted 21 hours.The spacecraft was launched from the JiuquanSpace Center in Gansu Province and made a perfect landing in Inner Mongolia.I have seen many landings before and I think that ours has been one of the most successful，said Cononel Yang.The 38-year-old taikonaunt had been taking part in the strenuous space training programme for five years.His schedule partly carried out in Russia， took all his time.I haven’t been able to take my son to kindergarten，he said,and I have never met my son’s teachers. The launch was one of a series in a space programme that is aiming to make China one of the world leaders.We are looking at a range of possibilities.China is expected to complete its first exploration of the moon in 2010.We will establish bases there just as we did at the North and South Poles，said Ouyang Ziyuan，head of the moon exploration programme，and we won’t rule out assistance from outside. We can expect China to send more taikonauts into space in future years. 附： [题目]太空中的中国 自从毛主席说中国连一个土豆都放不上太空以来，情况发生了很大变化。首先，1961 年，俄罗斯人 给了我们“宇航员”这个词，然后美国又给了我们“宇航员”这个词；当中国完成第一次载人飞行任务时， 世界被赋予了“taikonaut”这个词。55 在 2003 年 10 月第一艘载人飞船发射之前，中国已经发射了多颗卫星，由长征二号 F 火箭提供动力。 搭载杨利伟康诺尔的神舟五号飞船绕地球运行 14 圈，任务持续 21 小时。航天器从甘肃酒泉航天中心发 射，在内蒙古完美着陆。我之前看过很多次着陆，我认为我们的着陆是最成功的，杨康奈尔说。这位 38 岁的泰康阿姨曾参加了五年艰苦的太空训练计划。他的日程安排部分是在俄罗斯进行的，占用了他所有 的时间。我没能带儿子去幼儿园，他说，我从未见过儿子的老师。 此次发射是旨在使中国成为世界领导者之一的太空计划的系列之一。我们正在研究一系列可能性。 预计中国将在 2010 年完成对月球的首次探索。我们将建立基地月球探测项目负责人欧阳自远说，就像 我们在北极和南极所做的那样，我们不排除外界的帮助。 我们可以期待中国在未来几年将更多的宇航员送入太空。 [题目] 1.The word_________is invented by the Chinese.
