That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarterof a century,engineers have been making better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. A computer can report,decide and control in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer“think”like a man. With the help of a person,a computercan draw pictures,write music,talk with people,play chess,recognize voices,translate languages and so on . Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel.

Women never invent things. We do.”It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: machines,radios and guns,too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture. Before invention of agriculture, men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day,too. They collected corn, fruit and grasses. Then,one day more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds near her home in the Middle East. They grew –and the first wheat was born. The idea grew,too.Women planted corn and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: digs, cows and sheep. The idea grew,too. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home.They built villages and cities. Civilization began. Min began civilization after women invented agriculture. 26．Before the invention of agriculture life was difficult because____________.A.hunters sometimes killed other huntersB.hunters did not always get meatC.women went out to hunt every dayD.animals sometimes killed the women and children27.From the passage we know that domestic animals are________A. animals that feed on grassB. animals that live in natural conditionsC. animals whose meat can be used as foodD. animals that are kept at home28.After the first wheat was born, women soon saw that they could _________.A. go out and look for foodB. go hunting for meatC. plant corn,and fruit trees at homeD. go out to collect corn and fruit29.

The Cleverest Women in History( G )Jack worked in an office in a big city and often went to a small but comfortable restaurant to have his lunch. One Monday, when he went to the table at which he usually sat, he saw that there was a new waitress in the restaurant. She was very young and looked rather hot and worried. Jack sat down, and when the waitress came to him, he asked for some vegetable soup. The new waitress wrote this down in a little notebook and went to order it in the kitchen.There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and the new girl was very busy, but at last she came to Jack with a plate on a large dish. She put the plate down in front of him, and he saw that it was not the vegetable soup which he had asked for , but some fish and potatoes.The waitress was getting ready to turn away again, but Jacl stopped her,“Miss,”he said,“Idid not order fish and potatoes, Iordered vegetable soup.”“Oh,”she answered, “I thought that you asked for fish.”“No,”said Jack,“Look at the notebook which you wrote my order in and you will see that I ordered vegetable soup.”The new waitress looked everywhere in her little notebook, and at last she found Jack’order.“‘Table No.24’,”she read out ,“One vegetable soup.Yes,I am sorry,Igot confused. I shall change it.”She put the notebook down on Jack’s table, took out her pencil, crossed out the words“vegetable soup”and wrote“fish and potatoes”instead.

What do you think of the waitress?A. CarefulB. Careless.C. Quick.D. Kind.( H )Open your dictionary at any page. At the top of the page you will see two words printed in heavy type. These are known as guide words. The one on the left-hand side of the page tells you what the first word on the page is. The one on the right-hand side of the page tells you what the last word in the page is. So if you are looking for a word in the dictionary, you first look at the guide words at the head of the pages. Then you will be able to tell whether or not the word you want is on the page you are looking at.You will notice that a dictionary very often gives several meanings for one word. How could you decide which of these meanings is the one you need? First, you must know what part of speech the word is in the sentence. Is it a noun or a verb? Is it an adjective or an adverb? A word can be used in a different way in a sentence, and so may have a different sense. Next, you must see which of the meaning will fit into the sentence. It is important to study the rest of the sentence carefully in order to find out the meaning of the word36. The two words at the top of any page of a dictionary________.A.are known as those printed in heavy typesB.are called those on the left-hand side of the pageC.are known as those on the right-hand side of the pageD. are called guide words37. If you want to know what the last word on the page is , you may_________.A.look at the word in the right-hand side of the pageB.look up it in the last part of the dictionaryC.look up it in the first part of the dictionaryD. look at the word on the left-hand side of the page38. A dictionary often _______.A.tells whether or not the word you want is on any page you are looking atB.gives several meanings for one wordC.prints word in heavy typeD. gives two words in every page of it39. We would decide which of the meanings of a word in a dictionary is the one we need in the following order:______________.A.1)find out what part of speech the word is in the sentence;2)learn which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence by studying the restof the sentence carefullyB.1)know which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence;2)see what part of speech the word is in the sentence;3)study the rest of the sentence carefullyC.1)looking for a word in a dictionary;2)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;3)tell whether or not the word we want is on the page we are looking atD.1)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;2)know what part of speech the word is in the dictionary;3)find out which of the meanings of the guide words will fit into the sentence40. If in the dictionary you look up “load”in the sentence “We use an inclined plane to load or unload a truck”and the dictionary says:1. n. a burden; 2. n. amount of work….; 3. vt. put a burden on or into; 4. vt. add extra weight to …..Which meaning of the word makes the right sense in the sentence?A. The first.B. The second.C. The third.D. The fourth（I ）Tom was a shopkeeper. He had a small corner shop. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things. Tom worked hard in his shop but he had a good business and he was happy.Then a supermarket opened across the street. The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom’s shop.The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom. He found out what Tom’s prices were and then made his lower than Tom’s.People quickly stopped buying things from Tom’s shop. They bought everything from the supermarket instead. Soon Tom’s business was very bad and he was angry.“It’s not fair,”Tom thought,“I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson.”The price of steak in the supermarket was $5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window, “Steak--$4.50 a pound.”The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his window. “Steak--$4.00a pound.”An hour later,the sign in the supermarket said, “Steak--$3.75 a pound.” Ten minutes later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Steak--$3.50 a pound.” Five minutes later the sign in the sup ermarket said,“Steak--$2.50 a pound.” Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Stead--$1.00 a pound.”The manager of the supermarket ran cross the road into Tom’s shop.“This price cutting must stop,”he said,“Steak is costing me $4.00 a pound. I’m selling it at $2.50 a pound. I’m losing money every minute!”“I’ll stop cutting all my prices,”Tom said,“if you will stop cutting all yours.”The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook hands.Tom smiled.He had not lost any money on the steak .He didn’t sell steak at all.”41.

It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local (当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability, ” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed (失望的). ”After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.36. In the “homestay” program, a visitor can.A. learn more about holidaysB. understand his culture betterC. improve the language abilityD. take part in foreign meetings37. The writer had wanted to visit London since .A. last monthB. years agoC. the special meetingD. her stay abroad38. The group leader should .A. make plans for the familyB. take care of the studentsC. stay with different familiesD. rent rooms to the students39. The writer’s host family.A. was very kind to herB. went sight-seeing with herC. had two white daughtersD. was interested in her activities40. From the passage, we know that the writer in London.A. wished to stay a little longerB. spent three weeks in her homeC. had classes in many interesting placesD. helped the teacher take the students in a carCWe have to accept (接受) the truth: sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.For example, we all have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn't come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom (智慧)．We should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it's good for our health.“Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine.” said Mrs. Li, a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou.“My parents taught me to do this.

If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.◆Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.◆Children must not be cruelly punished (惩罚）by their parents or any others.◆Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse (虐待）and neglect（忽略）.◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.In some countries children do not have these rights. Many youn g children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have.
