Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.‎ ‎　　Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交际). Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.‎ ‎　　Let's look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.‎ ‎　　Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won't change these two habits.‎ ‎21. In paragraph(段落)1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.‎ ‎　　A. playing games, shopping and making telephone calls ‎　　B. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films ‎　　C. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays ‎　　D. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor ‎22. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?‎ ‎　　A. Computerized books won't be very expensive.‎ ‎　　B. Computers can keep many different books in them.‎ ‎　　C. We won't have lots of pages.‎ ‎　　D. We won't need any paper.‎ ‎23. Paragraph 4 tells _______.‎ ‎　　A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicating ‎　　B. if the Internet will change our habits ‎　　C. about computerized books ‎　　D. about future uses of computers ‎24. The title for this passage is _______.‎ ‎　　A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books ‎　　B. Computers Are the Future ‎　　C. Computers will Do Everything for Man ‎　　D. How Computers Change Our Habits ‎　　　 B Last week the manager of an old jeweler's shop received a letter marked "personal", so of course his secretary gave it to him unopened. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. Then he opened it and a ￡10 note fell out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:Dear sir,　　In 1935 I got engaged. But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job. I was six months without a job and ‎ then I got work again. But of course was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring. The assistant brought some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girl-friend's finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring.‎ ‎　　My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience (良心) all these years. At the time the ring cost ￡2 so I reckon (估计) that is about ￡10 at today's price. And I am sending you that amount.‎ Yours truly,‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　A customer ‎　　"Well, well, well," said the manager, "life is full of surprises!"‎ ‎25. The best headline for this article would be _______.‎ ‎　　A. A Customer Pays His Bill ‎　　B. An Old Jeweler's Shop[]‎ ‎　　C. The Manager and the Letter ‎　　D. A Letter with ￡10‎ ‎26. Why didn't the secretary open the letter? Because _______.‎ ‎　　A. he was very busy B. it was a personal letter ‎　　C. there was a ￡10 note in it D. the letter was unimportant ‎27. What happened to the writer of the letter in 1935?‎ ‎　　A. He was engaged to a girl. B. He was out of work for six months.‎ ‎　　C. He lost a ring. D. Both A and B.‎ ‎28. What was true about the assistant?‎ ‎　　A. She lost her job.‎ ‎　　B. She was short of money.‎ ‎　　C. She was called away while serving the customer.‎ ‎　　D. She put one of the rings in her pocket.‎ ‎　　 C When the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie "expert" turned him down, saying, "Can't sing. Can't act. Dances a little." Here's another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his ‎ teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he'd never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.‎ ‎　　What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a person's abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.‎ ‎　　The famous motto "ad astra per aspera" can be translated as "To the stars through hardships". Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.‎ ‎29. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎　　A. Fred Astaire was a famous dancer.    ‎ ‎　　B. True ability will always make itself known.‎ ‎　　C. Some people never get discouraged.‎ ‎　　D. Albert Einstein proved his teachers wrong.‎ ‎30.When Paderewski's teachers told him he'd never be a success, they were _______.‎ ‎　　A. being humorous   B. cheerful, though concerned ‎　　C. somewhat hesitant   D. seriously mistaken ‎31. "Ad astra per aspera" is used in the passage _______.‎ ‎　　A. as a motto for the three men's lives ‎　　B. to show the value of Latin ‎　　C. to send the reader to the dictionary ‎　　D. to point out that genius is always recognized early ‎32. The writer of the passage thinks that the reader _______.‎ ‎　　A. knows that the three men were successful men ‎　　B. someday dreams to become like one of the men ‎　　C. sympathizes with(同情) the poor teachers of the three men ‎ ‎　　D. knows that Fred Astaire was an actor famous for performing Shakespeare's plays ‎　　 D It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.‎ ‎　　Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.‎ ‎　　As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.‎ ‎33. The speech was made _______.‎ ‎　　A. at a welcome meeting ‎　　B. at the opening of a new school term ‎　　C. when somebody was leaving ‎　　D. when they had a new manager ‎34. When Bill started to work in Houston area, he had _______to help him.‎ ‎　　A. many people   B. nobody ‎　　C. about 37 people   D. very few people ‎35. Bill increased the company's sale _______.‎ ‎　　A. by 37 per cent every month B. to the second largest in the area ‎　　C. to be the fifth largest in the area D. five times as much as before 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and/or family that have an opinion on everything you do?It’s not easy!_____36_______ . Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic life.‎ ‎______37_______‎ Stay true to yourself by listening to the opinions that really matter your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you.Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else.‎ Don’t fear people ‎______38_______ The reason why most people don’t take risks,or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them.If you want to live the life you truly deserve,you must give up the need to be liked by everybody.‎ Value yourself and your choices When you do,others will too.Own the choices you make in your ‎ life.___39_____ .When you believe in yourself ,in time,others will believe in you too.Show confidence in your choices and what you stand for whether others agree or not.‎ Focus on appreciation No matter what the circumstances are,there is always something to be grateful for.All successful people ask:What am I grateful for?
