Still others look for friendship，or even love.‎ Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They're looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love？That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others end in tears.‎ Unlike the real world，however，your knowledge about a person is limited to（限于）words on a computer screen. Identity（身份）and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather，a person's thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.‎ Usually，this “faceless” communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact，this focus on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat？‎ Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows couples ‎ to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.‎ But critics（批评者）of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why？Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to worry about what their “nonverbal（不用语言表达的）” communication is doing for their image. In a sense，they're not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns，it's easy to let one's imagination" fill in the blanks”. This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.‎ So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen."‎ ‎1. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the critics?‎ A. Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace.‎ B. Internet users can choose their words to create any image they want to give.‎ C. The Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are.‎ D. In a sense, Internet users are not really themselves.‎ ‎2. Even the shyest person can become a chat-room star because what really counts is a person's __________.‎ A. nonverbal communication ‎ B. identity shown in the chat C. knowledge and appearance ‎ D. thoughts typed on the screen ‎3. The underlined word "This" (Paragraph 6) refers to ________.‎ A. having exciting conversations online ‎ B. forming personal relationship in cyberspace C. imagining online friends with so many unknowns ‎ D. knowing a person in a love relationship ‎4. What is the writer's attitude towards finding love in cyberspace?‎ A. Interested.‎ B. Not interested.‎ C. Positive.‎ D. Negative.‎ ‎2.I travel a lot,and I find out different “styles” (风格)of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”‎ Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的)in Japan because most streets there don’t have names;in Japan,people use landmarks(地标)in their ‎ directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers,“Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop. ”‎ In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east,and then go another mile."‎ People in LosAngles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time,not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,”they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here. ’’You say,“Yes,but how many miles away is it?”They don’t know.‎ It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say,wSorry, I have no idea. But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!‎ ‎1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place,they usually                     .‎ A.describe the place carefully ‎ B.show him a map of the place C.tell him the names of the streets ‎ D.refer to recognizable buildings and places ‎2.Which is the place where people measure distance in time?‎ A.New York. ‎ B.Los Angles. ‎ C.Kansas. ‎ D.Iowa.‎ ‎3.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_____.‎ A.in order to save time B.as a test C.so as to be polite D.for fun ‎3.     One animal which is still alive, but has almost disappeared from the world, is the Chinese river dolphin or baiji.       The baiji is a beautiful animal with a graceful body and a long nose. It is blue-grey with a white underside, weighs between 100 and 160 kilogrammes, and can grow up to eight feet long. It lives in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze River. Most dolphins live in the sea so the baiji is very unusual. It is one of only five kinds of river dolphins in the world.       In the past, the Yangtze River was home to many thousands of baiji. A book written during the Han Dynasty,22 centuries ago, tells of the river being full of the beautiful creatures. At that time, there were many stories ‎ about the baiji. One story said that the dolphin was really a beautiful princess who had drowned in the river. Another said it was a kind of horse that could gallop (急速行进) across water, carrying God on its back.       Sadly, the situation today is very different. Many millions of people live in the Yangtze River Basin and the river is busy, noisy and polluted. The baiji is almost blind and moves around using sounds. With so many boats and people using the river, the animals cannot find their way around. They are unable to find food, or find each other. Year by year, the number of baiji in the river becomes smaller and smaller.       A lot of work is being done to help the baiji. One section of the river has been made into a kind of nature park, where the baiji can be safe. Fishermen work together with scientists and tell them when they see a baiji, or if they find an injured one. Injured animals are taken to a research center and nursed back to be healthy. However, in spite of these measures, scientists estimate(估计) that the member of the baiji still alive in the river may be less than 100. If things continue as they are, the lovely creature will disappear in the next 25 years. 1.Which description about the baiji is WRONG? A.It has already died out from the world. B.It is blue-grey with a white underside. C.It lives in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze River. D.It is one of only 5 kinds of river dolphins in the ‎ world. 2.The reasons why the baiji is disappearing are the following EXCEPT _____. A.many millions of people live in the Yangtze River Basin, making there noisy and polluted B.the baiji is blind because of the pollution and can't find the way around C.the boats and people are noisy, making the animals cannot find their way around by sounds D.they are unable to find food or find each other by sounds since the river is noisy 3.Which of the following is the correct way to save the baiji? A.Catch the baiji and take them to the research center. B.Make the whole Yangtze River a nature park for the baiji to live in. C.Make one section of the river a nature park where the baiji can be safe. D.Ask many people to come to the river to help the baiji 阅读七选五（每小题2分，共10分）‎ For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.__1__ Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.‎ Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.__2__ He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his ‎ brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.‎ Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.__3__ When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric (纤维) to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.‎ In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉)．This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.__4__.‎ By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.__5__ The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.‎ A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.‎ B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.‎ C．Strauss agreed and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.‎ D．However, he did not get much business for those products.‎ E．Besides, he also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.‎ F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.‎ G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 二、完形填空（每小题2分，共40分）‎ ‎2.阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ We have all heard how time is more valuable than money, but is it   1    to have too much time?‎ I    2    back in high school I spent most of my day at school since I also    3   a team sport.
