Passage A

SHANGHAI -- A musician who lost both arms in a childhood accident and plays the piano with his toes has won "China's Got Talent (中国达人秀)" performing his version of James Blunt's wistful（忧郁的）love song "You're Beautiful" to a packed audience at the Shanghai Stadium.

All three judges on the show Sunday praised 23-year-old Liu Wei for his determination, urging him to keep on pursuing his dreams, and the Beijing native said he would try quipping（说俏皮话）, "At least I have a pair of perfect legs."

For winning the Chinese version of Britain's Got Talent, Liu will be invited to play as a guest performer with Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. He also has the chance for a performing contract.

Liu's arms were amputated(截肢) after he suffered an electrical shock while playing hide-and-seek when he was 10. At age 18, he decided to pursue a career in music, using his feet to play the piano, much as he uses them to navigate on the computer, eat, dress and brush his teeth。One year later, he was given the chance to work with the famous Hong Kong pop star Andy Lau and they composed the song Let It Be.

Passage B

Today’s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries in which to choose from. There are dictionaries with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and even with pictures. The most popular dictionaries I have seen among many students are talking- electronic dictionaries. All you have to do is type in a word in your language and you can see it and hear it in English. That’s great, right? Well, I think it’s great, too... but only sometimes.

Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and easy. They can be great when you are traveling and need information quickly. But I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual paper dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.

When you reach an intermediate level of English, you know enough of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head takes time. You should be translating as little as possible and you should be thinking in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate（中等的）and advanced students use an English-English dictionary made especially for your understanding. For example, Longman has a good dictionary for students. Other companies do, too.

I also feel that paper (book) dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you look up seems to stay in your head longer. It may be because you were forced to spell the word in your head and therefore “see it” more clearly in your mind.

So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still don’t understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to stay in English as much as possible.

6. The most popular dictionaries among students are ________.

A. American-English dictionaries

B. dictionaries with pictures

C. dictionaries that can talk

D. dictionaries of idiom or slang

7.The word “b ilingual” in the second paragraph means_________.

A.双边的B双语言的 C 双人的 D 单个的

8. What does the author think the best way to use a dictionary in learning

English?

A. To take the advantage of an English-English dictionary is the best way.

-------------各类专业好文档，值得你下载，教育，管理，论文，制度，方案手册，应有尽有

B. To learn more about how an English dictionary come into being.

C. To learn more about American English or American idioms.

D. To make full use of the advantages of all dictionaries at the same time..

9. Why does the author prefer paper dictionary?

A. It provides you with so much information.

B. It makes you learn English better.

C. It seems that you can learn English better.

D. It seems that the information stays in the head longer.

10. We can conclude that _________.

A. consulting bilingual dictionary is a better method to improve your

English

B. learning more about American idioms is the only way to improve your

English

C. you should make use as less as possible of English dictionary when you

learn English

D. English dictionary is not important at all in the learning of English （ⅱ）判断题选择题（共5小题，每小题5分，共25分）

Passage C

Because you are going to put a lot of your time and energy into your research project(项目), the topic is especially important. In many instances your instructor may give a specific topic. If this is done, you have little choice, but most instructors will permit or even welcome a slightly changed focus in a topic if it is supported by good thinking. In some of your classes, the instructor may present a suggested list of several topics from which you are to make a choice. If this is done, do not simply select the first idea that attracts your attention. It may be one with which you will soon become bored, or it may be one on which you would have difficulty finding all the necessary information. Looking at the topics, try to consider how you might go about developing each of them. When you find out what seems especially interesting and worthwhile(值得骄傲的), do a bit checking in the library to see if you can get the basic resources you will need.

Choosing a good research topic does not necessarily mean finding something that has a lot written about it. Many times you will have to research around a topic in order to find out the most useful information.

（ⅲ）简答题（根据短文回答问题。共5小题，每小题6分，共30分）

Passage D

In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one banker said, ”Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.” And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their transactions are "untouched by human hands" and therefore safe from human temptation. Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no con-science, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.

Computer criminals don’t use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witness and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it; it simply does what it is told. The head teller(出纳员) at a New York bank used a computer to steal more than

one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft(盗-------------各类专业好文档，值得你下载，教育，管理，论文，制度，方案手册，应有尽有

窃)because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.

Some employees use the compu ter’s power to get revenge(报复)on their employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days notice. In those thirty days, she erased all the firm’ computerized records.

Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is" the tip of the iceberg". As one official says," I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real computer experts are doing —the ones who know how a computer works. It’s hard for us to catch them. "

16.Find a word in the passage closest in meaning to the word "mistake".

17.Why have computers largely replaced paperwork?

18.What is the passage mainly about？(回答词数不超过3个词)

19.According to the last paragraph, what kind of criminals are the police

20. Why didn’t people notice the big theft at a New York bank?
