Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable(可携带的)computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials also are testing laptop program at other universities, too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff(成员)use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake college teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window in the world. They can see everything and do everything.” 60.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ______. A.use for their schoolwork B.access the Internet C.work at home D.connect them to libraries 61.Why is the word “speak ” in the second paragraph in quaotation marks?(引号) A.They don’t really talk B.they use the computer language C.laptops have speakers D.None of the above reasons is correct 62.Which of the following is true about Westlake College? A.All teachers use computers B.1,500 students have laptops C.It is an old college in America D.Students there can do everything 63.A window in the world in the last paragraph means that students can ______. A.attend lectures on information technology B.travel around the world C.get information from around the world D.have free laptops C There are many problems connected with space travel. The first and greatest of them is gravity(重力). If you let your pencil drop to the floor, you can see gravity in action. Everything is held to the earth by the force, which can be described by its weight. A rocket must go at least 2,500 miles an hour to take anyone beyond the gravity of the earth into space. Another problem is the strain(紧张)that a person feels when a rocket leaves the ground. Anything that is not moving tends to keep stills. As the rocket leaves the ground, it pushes upwards strongly and the person in it is pushed backed against the chair. Gravity gives the body a force equal to nine times its normal force. Once out of the earth’s gravity, an astronaut is affected by another problem, weightlessness. Here, if a pencil drops, it does not fall. If a glass of water is turned upside down, the water will not fall out. All of us are used to gravity. Recent long flights have shown that the body needs special exercise in a spaceship. 64.If a rocket leaves the earth at a speed of no less than 2,500 miles an hour, it can _____ the gravity of the earth. A.be affected byB.take someone away C.escapeD.beyond 65.The weight is ______ the force gravity gives the object. A.different fromB.morn thanC.less thanD.as much as 66.When a running car stops, the person in it is pushed ______. A.forwardB.upwardC.backwardD.downward 67.In space things do not fall because of _______. A.the absence of airB.weightlessness C.the force of the pushD.the upward push of air D Everyone has an ambition(志向)to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency(旅行社), arranging journeys for other people. Brain Lawley does this, working in a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned(有关)with holidays, both at home and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets(小册子)full of attractive coloured photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have next year. Soon people begin to come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a cruise(巡游)to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour to North Africa, Brain often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them, and they always have a lot of questions. Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering(登山)holiday in the Alps, and Brain had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead. Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated(复杂), but Brain enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr.Perry, a director of a local chemical firm, went on a business trip, and Brain arranged it all for him. First, Mr.Perry traveled to London by train, and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left nearly the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt, in Germany, where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for Tokyo, and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York, he flew back to London and then went home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brain for arranging everything so well for him. 68.Who would like to work in travel agency? A.People who live an industrial city. B.People who would like to travel but cannot. C.Ambitions people. D.The people who go on holidays abroad. 69.When do customers come into the office to book their holidays? A.Early in the morning.B.Every year. C.In January.D.Shortly after receiving the booklet. 70.Mr. Perry telephoned the agency to thank Brain because _______. A.Mr. Perry arranged everything so well for Brain B.Brain arranged everything so well for him C.the agency sent Mr. Perry abroad on business D.Brain helped him in the travel agency 71.How was Mr. Perry’s journey arranged? a. Fly to Tokyob. To Frankfurtc. Back home by train d. Fly back to Londone. To Zurich by train f. Have business in Seattle, Chicago and New Yorkg. To London by train A.g, b, a, f, e, d, cB.c, b, a, g, e, f, d C.g, b, e, a, f, d, cD.f, e, a, b, g, c, d E Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary(暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational(情绪型的)loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleepiness(困倦), it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe(严重). Unlike the second type, chronic(长期的)loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no special cause. People who experience habitual(习惯性的)loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is a little of nothing they can do to improve their condition. Psychologists(心理学家)agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts(接触), e, g., friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity. Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition. 72.How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage? A.Take to friendsB.Just ignore(忽视)it C.Go to see a doctorD.Ask your teachers for guidance. 73. “it” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ______. A.temporary lonelinessB.situational loneliness C.a new placeD.sleeplessness(失眠) 74.The topic of the 4th paragraph is that ________. A.one topic of loneliness is a person’s social contacts B.we depend on various people for different reasons C.lonely people don’t have many social problems D.lonely people don’t have many friends 75.Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? A.chronic loneliness can cause family problem. B.chronic loneliness can cause serious illness. C.chronic loneliness can not be overcome(克服) D.A, B, and C are all correct. Ⅴ.短文改错(10分) Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it’s famous76 mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather77 was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of78 the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we79 climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples80 and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture81 since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly. 82 Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top83 of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was84 good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my85 head touched the pillow(枕头).

Some students are so interested in the game that they spend all day playing. Sometimes they forget to do their homework and some even play truant. Each time they have to pay much money. In order to play video games they often ask their parents for more money, some often borrow money from other students, some even steal money from their classmates, which have brought out every bad effects. Too much video game playing needs time, money and energy. The owners benefit a lot but it’s not good for the students’ study and health. I do hope measures will be taken by the government to prevent students from playing video games. Yours ever, Lin Tao (责任编辑：admin) |
