At the end of the train, 71 mailmen sat sorting the mail. Inside the second car, there were only five mailmen and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whitby, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train, and then stopped. Whitby went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man moving between the second and the third cars. Before Whitby could give a warning, he was knocked down by two men. Mills’ cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags of money were unloaded from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously knew the schedules(时刻表) of all the trains kept looking at his watch. At 3:45 he said, “That will have to be enough.” The robbers drove away with more than 2,500,000 pounds.56.

Frankly speaking, I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.But a story about online communication changed my mind.An old man, who suffered a lot from Parkinson’s disease, was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name. Living totally alone, he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family. How did he achieve this? He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.I, therefore, managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the opportunity came. My life changed. E-mail, and all online communication, is something truly different. It has capabilities that few other products can match.E-mail is convenient. It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection. The slow postal service is no match. If you wouldn’t want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager, you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office.Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy. But wait. E-mail can be inconvenient. It can waste time and energy. Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200 unread messages. You could easily spend half a day clearing junk ads.Then, online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers. Once we throw ourselves into the machine, we may forget the human touches we once held so dear. I’m sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter, phone call, and face-to-face meeting… even in the world of modern communication.As I listen to the sound of the modem(调制解调器), I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but, at the same time, I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.61. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word “junk” in paragraph7?A. old and uselessB. New and usefulC. Short but valuableD. Long but clear62. What caused the writer to become interested in E-mail and online communication?A. The sound of the modem.B. His own illness.C. The changing of his life.D. A sick old man’s experience.63. What does the writer think of online communication?A. It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.B. It is perfect and always does good to you.C. It is extremely useful and convenient, but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.D. It does more harm than good.64. According to the writer, traditional means of communication will never disappear because________.A. they are convenient and popular though they are slowB. they help to keep the friendly relationship between peopleC. most people cannot keep up with the development of technologyD. modern means of communication does too much harm65. How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?A. With the help of his computer.B. By writing letters with his pen.C. By making telephone calls.D. By visiting them regularly.CDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali(强碱) sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United states.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”--- the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising scenes, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable(变化的) parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.66. ______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater67. The present name of the valley comes from ______.A. an Indian nameB. the death o the minersC. the local peopleD. a National Movement68. From the passage we can learn that ______.A. no one had ever known the desert before the minersB. it’s still not easy to travel across the desertC. people can find gas stations, cafes and hotels in the desertD. people have changed the natural sight of the desert69. Devil Golf Course is famous for ______.A. the frequent windB. the colors of the sandC. dream-like sightsD. the sand sculptures70. From the passage we can see that the writer ______ Death Valley.A. appreciatesB. is fearful ofC. dislikesD. is tired ofDMen usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time. A man cannot live in society without considering the interests(利益) of others as well as his own interests. “Society” means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust (不公平的) or harmful to others. One man’s decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend’s house. He sets out, driving at full speed like a competitor in a motor race. There are other vehicles and also pedestrians（行人）on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. There are screams and confusion.One careless motorist has struck another car. The collision (碰撞) has injured two of the passengers and killed the third. Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.We have governments, the police and the law courts to prevent or to punish such criminal acts. But in addition, all men ought to observe certain rules of conduct. Every man ought to behave with consideration for other men. He ought not to steal, cheat, or destroy the property（财产）of others. There is no place of this sort of behavior in a civilized society.71. A man cannot have his own way all the time because ________.A. he may have no interest in other peopleB. he has to share the same interest with the people in the same societyC. his decisions are always unjustD. his decisions always harm other people72. According to the passage, people in a civilized society should usually ________.A. be honest to each otherB. be cautious in doing everythingC. behave in a responsible wayD. punish criminal acts73. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. tell people how to behave in societyB. illustrate the importance of lawsC. teach people how to prevent criminal actsD. persuade people not to make their own decisions74. It is implied that there will be fewer road accidents if ________.A. the drivers are more considerate（体贴的）of other peopleB. there are fewer cars or walkers in the streetC. the motorists are not always in a hurryD. the passengers are calm but not confused before the accidents75. We can draw a conclusion that ________.A. the government should contribute more effortsB. the criminals should be more severely punishedC. man should be more strict with himselfD. man should have more and more similar interestsEInstall a legal copy of an anti-virus program(杀毒程序) and keep it current through a subscription(订阅), so that it will recognize the latest “virus definitions(定义)”.Set your computer’s operating system to regularly download(下载) and update those virus definitions.Set Windows to automatically receive and install operating-system “patches(补丁)” that can plug security holes in the software.Set anti-virus software to scan(扫描) all e-mails, web pages, and instant-messaging traffic for viruses.Use the anti-virus software to scan your hard drive for viruses at least three times a week.Don’t open any attachments(附件) from any e-mail addresses you don’t recognize.If you have high-speed Internet access, install a software firewall on your computer.(A hardware firewall is even better.Never download anything fr om a web site you don’t think is reputable(规范的).Be care of e-mails that use Java or Active-X scripts.
