第二种人有许多书--一些阅读过，大部分浏览过。

但所有这些书仍像买的时候那样干干净净，这种人可能喜欢把书占为己有，但是为了保持书籍的表面而忍痛不去读这本书。

第三种人有一些书或很多--每一本都卷着皮，由于不断的使用而散架了，一页一页的，从头到尾都作满了标记，这种人才是真正拥有书籍。

In 1994,however,he decided to leave the city restaurant scene and seek a quiet life in the country, where he has been preparing meals on his farm two hours borth of Toronto and asks guests to bring their own wine.Not long ago, Stadlander was charged with selling liquer without a licence, He said when a guest asked for wine at a dinner in December, he provided two bottles from his private stock.But the customer turned out to be an undercover Ontario Provincial Police(OPP)officer who returned a few days later along with four armed officers to seize 83 bottles of wine,and to search the farmhouse for records. The punishment could run as high as $100,000 in fines and a year in jail.When Mr and Mrs Smisth arrived at the farm on a weekend befre Christmas, they said that it was their annual celebrstion and asked if they could get some wine.Nobuyo,Stadtlander’s wife,told them the policy was thar guests peovide their own..Given the occasion, though, Stadtlander agreed to provide a bottle of white wiee from own cellar,at cost,as a favor, Later, Mr Smith asked for a second bottle and a detailed receipt that included the price of thr wine.He turned out to be OPP Detective Paul Smith and “his wife,”an assistant who went as a witness.“I was shocked,”Nobuyo Stadtlander recalls.”How could thy do this to us when we did them a favor?We sold them our wine at our cost.”.But Mr.Smith say,” No.they made $20.”Stadtlander is determined to prove his innocence and continue the business.“People who live in the area have been very supportive,” he says.”And when this is over,I want my wine back.”21.Stadtlander was accused because________.A. be offered too much wine for a guestB. be asked guests to bring their own wineC. be charged too much for the wine offeredD. be sold wise to his guests without a license22.In the 1980s,Stadtlander________.A. threw his original restaurant menu into the fineB. made his restaurant well-known around the worldC. sought for a quiet life in the central part of the cityD. opened one resyaurant after another home and abroad.23.IT turned out that Mr. and Mrs. Smith were________.A. two farmersB. two witnesecsC. hasbend and wifeD. police officers24.Nobuy Studtlander claimed that in the wine case they made________.A.$1.20B. no moneyC.$100,000D. a lot of money25.Which of the following could be used as evidence against Stadtlander?A. What Stadtlander’s wife saidB. The second bottle of wineC. The records from the farmhouse.D.A receipt with the wine price.Passage TwoQuestions26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A recent study shows that sixteen out of every 100 American couoles have violent confrontations of one sort or another during the course of a year. In six of these cases there is severe kicking, biting, punching or hitting with objects. Almost four of every 100 wives are seriously beaten by their husbands. three of every 100 children are kicked or punched by their parents. More than a third of all brothers and sisters severely attack each other.As expected, the incidence of violence is highest among the urban poor (many of them minoroties).blue-collar workers, people under 20 or without religious beliefs, families with a husband who is jobless and those with four to six children. But the study also showed that violence occurs among wealthy families as well. Indeed, the wife of a university president once quietly called Straus, one of the sociologists who conducted the study, to ask what she could do about her husband, who often beat her. Straus suggested seeking assistance from marriage advisors.Steaus and his colleagues found out that there are various root causes that give rise to such behavior.“The reason are mixed –psychological, sociological, situational,” says Straus.“The husband, for example, may feel under particular stress because be has been out of work too long. Violence may also be an echo of the past,” Straus explains.“When Mummy gives her two-year-old a slap（巴掌）for putting something dirty in his mouth, he is learning from infancy that those who love you hit you.” Another reason may be the worsening economic situations.“If we have a real economos decline, It’s going to get worse,” economic situations.“If we have a real economic declines,it’s going to get worse,” says Gelles, one of Straus” colleagues.These sociologists have no easy answer to violence in the American family. While they welcome such move as the opening of shelters for beaten wives and the establishment of a National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect, they belive that there must be more basic attack on vilolence,including the reduction of “macho”（大男子主义）themes on the television,the outlawing of physical punishment in schools and perhaps even the wlimination of death senernces.As Straus explains,“Volence is an acceptable solution to problems in American society,And that is how it is used in families.26.Which of the following statements is true?A. More than a third of brothers attack sisters in American families.B. Almost four percent of husbands are seriously beaten by their wives.C. Six out of one hundred couples experience severe domestic violence.D. Six percent of American couples have some kind of domestic violence.27.The example concerning a university president’s wife shows that_________A. domestic violence is found in well-to do families as wellB. the incidence of violence is highest among urban familiesC. marriage advisons’ assistance is the best solution to violenceD. domestic vilence exists regardless of age, race,and social status.28.What Gelles says shows that________.A. vilence is responsible for the decline of economyB. violence may be a reflection of one’s past experienceC. violence is related to the economic situation of the timeD. violence is the best form of emotional release for a husband29.The word “outlawing” in line5 of the last paragraph means________.A. making something illegalB. freeing someone from prisonC. learning something from lawD. throwing someone out of court30.According to the sociologists, it is impossible to curb domestic violence unless________.A. more shelters for beateb wives are openedB. children are protected by a National CenterC. violence is not accepted as a solution to problemsD. Americans get tougher with violent behaviorsPassage ThreeQestions 31to35are based on the following passage.American scientists are developing an “intelligent” mabile phone capable of blocking incoming calls depending on the owner’s mood., Using “context aware”Technology the “Sensay” phone will monitor calls and send back polite messages saying the user may be contacted later.A research team at the Institute for Complex Engineering Systems at Carragie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, are developing body temperature and electrical skin monitors to help the device understand the emotional state of its user. If the phone senses that the user is busy —for instance, involved in a conversation—it might block an incoming call and turn it onto voicemail. The phone would send back a text message saying the user is unavailable, but advising that id the matter is urgent the caller can try again in three minutes. If a call from the same person came in again, the phone would put it through.The researchers are interested in four basic different states—busy and not to be interrupted, physically active, idle,and “normal.” Most people are said to change between these states,an average of 6 to 12 times a day.Professor Asim Smailagic, a leading member of the Carnegic Mellon team, told The Engineer magazine.”Today’s computers are pretty dumb compared with the device. We got to work at the beginning of May and since then have been improving it. The next stage is to make it smarter, adding various intellingence systems so it can learn about the user. The phone also employs four primary sensons—two microphones to pick up conversations and monitor local noise.a light detector and an acceleromster（加速度计）.The light sensor shows if the phone is being carried in a bag or pocket ,while the accelerometer determines whether the user is walking,running or standing still, In the sensor box, phone is being carried in a bag or pocket, while the accelerometer determites whether the user is walking,running or standing still,In the future,the sensor box,phone and personal organizer will be combined into one device.”31.According to the passage, the “Sensay” phone is capable of ________.A. showing body temperatureB. blocking unwanted callsC. detecting the owner’s moodD. sensing the caller’s mood32.The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. where the intelligent phone is developedB. how the new phone is going to functionC. whether the researchers failed in their experimentD. why the researchers failed in their experiment33.Accorfing to Professor Smailagic, the detector will show________.A. where the mobile phone isB. where the mobile phone user isC. whether the mobile phone user is busyD. whether the mobile phone is within reach34.the word “it” in line 5 of paragraph 4 refers to________.A. the phoneB. the monitorC. the computerD. the light sensor35.The best title for this passage is ________.A. How to Tell a Person’s MoodB. How to Block Incoming CallsC. Sensay Your Personal OrganizerD.
