A. family name B. first name C. surname D. pen name Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology (科技) will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from my personal experience. E-mail makes it easy to work at home, where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t much shorter than it once was, but I spend less time at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before E-mail became such a practical tool. The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. With E-mail, you write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方 便), and send it to all the friends who you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. E-mail is also a cheap way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily, with their children off at college. 60. What convenience do personal computers and the Internet bring to people? A. Less time to spend on work. B. New technology to be used. C. More freedom to spend their time. D. More choices about finding good friends. 61. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. E-mail can be used easily by people. B. People can work flexibly at home by E-mail. C. E-mail makes work easier. D. Parents and children enjoy using E-mail. 62. The author spends less time at the office because ____. A. she doesn’t like her job B. she does not enjoy working at her office C. she has to take care of her daughter D. she can work at home by E-mail 63. According to the passage, we can see that the author ____. A. doesn’t like her job at all B. doesn’t want to stay at home C. wants to work in her office D. likes the present way of working On a special Teachers’ Day, a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils. The florist’s (种 花人) son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it over her head, and said, “I bet I know what it is... some flowers.” “That’s right!” said the boy. “But how did you know?” “Just a wild guess,” she said. The next pupil was the candy store owner’s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, “I bet I can guess what it is... a box of candy.” “That’s right! But how did you know?” asked the girl. “Just a lucky guess,” said the teacher. The next gift was from the liquor store owner’s son. The teacher held it over her head but it was leaking. She touched a drop of it with her finger and tasted it. “Is it wine?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied. The teacher repeated the process to touch the drop and taste it by her tongue. “Is it champagne (香槟)?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied. The teacher then said, “I give up. What is it?” The boy replied, “A puppy — the young dog I send to you as a special gift!” 64. The teacher was receiving her gifts because ____. A. it was her birthday B. she liked flowers

Happy. B. Sad. C. Surprised. D. Nervous. It can be hard to know what newborns want. They can’t talk, walk, or even point at what they’re thinking about. Yet babies begin to develop language skills long before they begin speaking, according to recent research. And, compared to adults, they develop these skills quickly. People have a hard time learning new languages as they grow older, but infants (婴儿) have the ability to learn any language, even fake ones, easily. For a long time, scientists have been trying to explain how such young children can learn the difficult grammatical rules and sounds required to communicate in words. Now, researchers are getting a better idea of what’s happening in the brains of society’s youngest language learners. Long before they can talk, babies start developing language skills when they are half a year old. The insights might finally help kids with learning disabilities as well as adults who want to learn new languages. The work might even help scientists who are trying to design computers that can communicate as people do. “The brain of the baby is a new research field,” said Patricia Malt, the director of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences in Seattle. “Today, we talk about what we can discover by looking at the very youngest citizens.” 68. According to recent research, newborns can ____. A. point at what they need B. think something quickly C. develop their language skills D. can walk easily 69. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Newborns can not talk or walk. B. Infants develop language skills much earlier than they begin speaking. C. Adults can learn a new language more easily than infants. D. Babies have the ability to learn a language more quickly than adults. 70. What have scientists been working hard to do? A. They have been trying to find out what the infants are thinking. B. They have been trying to discover why newborns are crying. C. They have been trying to prove that young kids can learn many languages at the same time. D. They have been trying to explain how babies can learn a language quickly. 71. When do infants begin to develop language skills? A. As early as they are born. B. As early as they can think. C. When they are one year old. D. When they are 6 months.

Languages are closely connected with customs and manners. So it will be a great help if the English learners know some customs and manners of the Englishspeaking countries. Here are some common greeting manners. ● Using Greetings The simplest way is to say “Good morning”, “Good afternoon” or “Good evening”. This greeting is given to one whom you know only a little, or to anyone you are passing quickly. “How are you” is usually used when you are not in such a hurry. No answer is expected except “Fine, thank you”. “Hello” is the commonest form of greeting between good friends. ● Shaking Hands People are used to shaking hands when they meet for the first time. And usually friends shake hands when they meet after not having seen each other for a long time. However, it is not necessary. ● Using the Person’s Name It is always a good form to use the name of the person you are greeting. You might say, “Good morning, Mr. Wilson” or “Hello, John”. A person’s surname should be used unless he is your good friend or schoolmate. 56. What is the purpose of the author to write this passage? A. To show the importance of languages for students. B. To introduce some greeting manners for the English learners. C. To teach students some words about English manners. D. To train students manners before they go abroad.
