Blocks of ―high-rise‖ flats have been built in large numbers in London and in many other big cities. Just after the Second World War these big, twenty-to-thirty storey buildings, hundreds of feet in height, were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem. For on the one hand, there was severe housing shortage, but on the other hand, there was lack of space to build houses in urban areas. Blocks of ―high-rise‖ flats seemed, at first, to be able to solve the problem, since they can offer space for more families to live in on less land. The beautiful, modern apartments in the high–rises were much sought after by people who lived downtown. Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not. Are they suitable places for people, children especially, to live in? A well-known British architect, who personally designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high-rises may well make
those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal. Evidence has been collected by social workers, which suggests that people do suffer. They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers. People also talk about lack of communication with others, no easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building, but they never know who their neighbors are. Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high-rises suffer from mental disorder and have even developed criminal tendencies. As a result of these new discoveries, plans for new high-rise blocks are being reconsidered. We are now building up many high-rises in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too.
1. There was a big housing problem after the Second World War ____________.
A. in London
B. in the rural areas
C. in many big cities
D. in many countries
2. Blocks of ―high-rise‖ flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem, because ____________.
A. there was severe house shortage in big cities
B. there was less and less land to build houses in big cities
C. they were modern and beautiful and much sought after by city people
D. they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people
3. The sentence ―Hundreds of the vast blocks had been bu ilt before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not.‖ means ____________.
A. it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
B. hundreds of the vast blocks had not been built until anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
C. people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built
D. before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, some people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not
4. The author takes a well-known British architect as an example to show us that ____________.
A. he is very proud of his designing of many of the high-rises
B. even a well-known designer of the high-rises believes they are no good for people
C. even a well-known designer of the high-rises suffers personally
D. high-rises are well-designed, modern buildings which meet people‘s needs
5. What is the greatest danger for people living in a high-rise according to some experts?
A. Lack of communication with others .
B. No easy access to a playground for children.
C. Developing criminal tendencies.
D. Not knowing the neighbors.

Passage 3
I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn‘t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge; yet fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don‘t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don‘t know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.
I realize that everyone has her or his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest does make me happy. I will still stay on in college, but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.

Dear Bob,
I‘m just writing to let you know our new address and to invite you to our house-warming party next Saturday. I‘m sorry about the lack of warning, but we‘ve been busy moving house and I‘ve had little time for anything else.

Dear Uncle Ric,
We were very sorry to hear that you are in hospital again, but I feel sure you‘ll be out and about again soon. It doesn‘t sound very serious this time according to Auntie Ivy and in any case you have already recovered fr om the operation so quickly.
Malcolm has been working very hard all this year, because he is sitting some examinations this month and he is determined to study History at the University of Oxford.

The AIDS virus has been around for a very long time, but the spread of the disease within the last twenty years or so on such a scale has caused real concern. It seems that in the 1980s the principal carriers of the disease were homosexuals, drug users and prostitutes. Now it is becoming evident that heterosexuals also spread the disease, that children can be born with the virus and that patients in hospitals are being infected too.
Just as the WHO fought the spread of children‘s disease throughout the world in the 1960s, so now they must again use education to fight this killer disease. The organization proposes to write newspaper articles and books, and to make videos and TV programmes. These will be translated into the major languages of the world so that as many people as possible can be educated about the danger of AIDS.
However, we are still faced with two big questions. Is educating the public enough if we are to control the spread of AIDS? Does the WHO have enough money and resources for hospitals throughout the world to help and care for sufferers? One fact is becoming clearer and that is that the WHO has not focused enough on
the need to educate medical staff. There are still hospitals and health centers in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients, while there are others where too little care is taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
31. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. AIDS is a disease for which a cure has been found.
B. AIDS is a disease which has just been found.
C. AIDS is a disease which has existed for a long time.
D. AIDS is a disease which spreads very slowly.
32. Who is easily infected with AIDS?
A. People who use drugs.
B. People who visit prostitutes.
C. Patients who stay in hospital.
D. All of the above.
33. In WHO‘s opinion, what will help most effectively in fighting against the spread of AIDS?
A. More education.
B. More medicines.
C. More doctors.
D. More equipment.
34. From the passage, we can see that the writer is not happy about ____________.
A. the education the general public get on AIDS
B. the education the medical staff get on AIDS
C. the TV programmes on AIDS
D. the newspaper articles on AIDS
35. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A. It is not enough only to educate the general pubic.
B. There are some hospitals in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients.
C. Great care has been taken to prevent the spread of AIDS everywhere in the world now.
D. More money and resources are needed to control the spread of AIDS.

"Are you the happiest man in the world?" When asked this question, most people would say no. They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than any one of them, "Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his."
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think i s happier a relative, a close friend or, often, someone we even hardly know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters, and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet, he is grateful for its existence. He told me, because he could look up information on diabetes (糖尿病) the terrible dise ase that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this, I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.
This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others, yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me, "Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair."
It is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect." As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.
36. According to the author, most people would ____________ they are the happiest in the world.
A. doubt whether
B. like to think that
C. think about whether
D. not think that
37. The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with ____________.
A. a close friend
B. a relative
C. anyone they think is happier
D. someone they even hardly know
38. What is not true about the young man the author once met with?
A. He is a TV talk show host.
B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him.
C. He loves his wife and their daughters.
D. He is very happy with his work and his life.
39. After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes ____________.
A. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed in the latter‘s life
B. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the Internet
C. how terribly the young man‘s wife suffer from the disease - diabetes
D. that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet
40. The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that ____________.
A. it is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect"
B. unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault
C. we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy
D. true happiness lies in struggling to be happy

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or LeMonde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspapers. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers ra nge from the ―sensational‖, which feature crime, sex and rumour, to the ―serious‖, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.
Just as American newspapers appeal to all tastes, so they also try and apply to readers of all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (极端分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.
41. There are more daily newspapers in ____________.
A. Britain than in the USA
B. the USA than in Britain or Japan
C. France than in Britain
D. Britain than in Japan
42. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because ____________.
A. they have to compete with television
B. they have to keep up a good relation with them
C. they have to write about crime, sex and rumour
D. they have to give factual news in an interesting way
43. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political persuasions by __________.
A. printing articles representing different political viewpoints
B. inviting middle-of the-road Americans to write articles for them
C. avoiding carrying articles about extremists
D. supporting extremist groups from time to time
44. The word ―press‖ in the second paragraph means ____________.
A. a machine for printing
B. great force
C. newspapers
D. the business of printing
45. This passage is mainly about ____________.
A. the development of American newspapers
B. the functions of American newspapers
C. the merits and shortcomings of American newspapers
D. the characteristics of American newspapers 短文理解10
Cash of all kinds, the French franc, the German mark, and the Italian lira, is bound to disappear physically. The paper notes and gold coins may soon become curious collections of the pre-electronic age. Digital money can replace every use of cash money. It is true that electronic money has been around for decades. Each week billions of institutional dollars flow through the Interbank Payment System through telephone wires and satellite links. But in the 21st century, entirely new forms of digital money - including electronic cash and "computerized" smart cards - will become the means of most personal financial trade. What a great change this will be!
Digital credit cards, smart cards, electronic wallets and electronic checks will change our way of life in the 21st century. They are efficient and easy to use. Customers will not take money with them when they go shopping. They will pay their bills from a smart cell phone or they will buy their coffee by using a digital credit card. How convenient it will be! And how easily people will do their shopping in such a way!
With so many changes these days, the Internet will help speed up the end of cash. In Europe, some banks have been offering people electronic cash since late last year. Customers can withdraw money from their accounts through the bank's website and store their incomes on their home PCs. As the electronic cash is downloaded, the customers' bank accounts are recorded. Since customers can use electronic cash to buy things on the Internet, electronic cash will transform the Internet into a global marketplace for everything. It is going to have a very big impact on our lives.
The low cost of computer and communications has created a worldwide medium not just for finance, but also for many other things in our life. The Age of Internet has brought e-businesses to our life, which perhaps will form the backbone of our economy. Mom and Pop can go global - all from the comfort of their easy chairs. Citizens will have access to e-government with its website offering a wide range of governmental information, policy and services.
Racing into the 21st Century, people all over the world are building up a series of IT projects, which is surely a part of the global future. People all over the world have been working for a brilliant future for centuries and it now seems the dream might come true very soon.
46. The main point of the first paragraph in this passage is ____________.
A. the value of the paper notes and gold coins will lie in collections
B. electronic money has been around for decades
C. entire new forms of digital money will replace cash money
D. cash of all kinds is bound to disappear slowly
47. The advantage of digital money is ____________.
A. it is efficient and easy to use
B. it will change our way of life in the 21st century

The Internet has become a part of everyday life for most Britons, says a report published this week by market research company Netinfo.
Just over 70% of people questioned for the survey said the net had become essential. The survey reveals that emailing friends and others is the nation‘s favourite Internet activity. It also found that people spend an average of seven hours a week online, visiting 13 different websites in seven days. But 10% of all those who surf the net ate doing it for more than 20 hours a week.
Just over 2,000 adults in Britain were interviewed for the report. The study found almost 19 million people in the UK – four in ten adults – regularly went online. But the number of new users has slowed down. Numbers online grew by just 11% over the past 12 months compared with 33% the previous year.
The report also reveals the increasing importance of the silver surfer. According to the report the number of older people online grew by more than 40% over the past year. People aged over 55 now make up 17% of the UK Internet population.
The survey also discovered that many workers surf the net for personal reasons while at work. Almost three-quarters of workers with Internet access admitted using it for pleasure, usually to email friends and family. According to Bill Wills, author of the survey, many employees expect some flexibility, and most employers re willing to accept this. ?However, employers are less likely to be understanding, if you‘re downloadi ng movies or introducing an unfriendly virus to your company network,‘ he said.
1. More than seven out of 10 people feel they can‘t manage without the Internet. ______
2. Young people use the Internet for emails mainly. ______
3. The most common use of the Internet is surfing the web. _______
4. On average, people visit 13 websites a day. _______
5. About 40% of adults use the Internet. _______

Tiny Tonga Launches Space Tourism Plan
The tiny poverty-stricken South Pacific state of Tonga has always had serious problems raising money, and so it has always been entrepreneurial. It has sold Tongan passports to Hong Kong businessmen; it sold possible satellite broadcasting locations in space; it even officially changed to a different time zone to be the first country to welcome the new millennium.
Now Tonga‘s latest money-making venture is a plan to become the world centre of space tourism. The Tonga government has made an agreement with a US company to allow it to use one of its 170 islands to launch
rockets that will take tourists on week-long trips into space at a cost of US$2 million each.
For this price, space tourists receive 60 days' training in a 'resort setting', followed by the holiday of a lifetime orbiting the Earth. Two astronaut pilots and four astronaut tourists will make the trip. However, sceptics say that these budgets are inadequate. Although they predict that space tourism will eventually bring an income of US$10 – 20 billion a year, they calculate that the budget of $8 million per trip will not be enough to pay for the required technology.
Comparison with the current space tourism programme suggests this maths may be accurate. To ride the Russian Soyuz (the only tourist ride currently available) costs more than US$20 million per person. However, other people, including one important ex-cosmonaut , criticise the Russian government for raising money in this way, even though it uses the money for the space programme. In the ex-cosmonaut's opinion, it uses up Russia‘s agreed quota of space missions without achieving anything. He also believes that these inexperienced tourists would be a danger in a difficult or life-threatening crisis in space.
6. Tonga was previously a rich country. ____
7. Tonga was the first country to welcome the new millennium on 1st January 2000. ____
8. The US government wants to use Tonga to launch rockets. _____
9. There will be training before the tourists go into space. _____
10. It costs about $ 20 million to launch a spacecraft. _____

Poll reveals TV news too negative
A recent Time/CNN poll in the USA has discovered that 75% of people agreed that the news media is "sensationalist", 63% found it "too negative" and 73% said they are "sceptical about the accuracy" of the news they are receiving.
Local news programmes in the USA are so dominated by stories of violence and crime that other topics like government, education and the environment are left with little airtime.1 Network broadcaster John Walters claimed, ―This lack of information has resulted in negative feelings towards the media.‖
Crime reports, which often serve as lead stories, make up an average of 30.2% of news time on local TV news programmes in the USA. Media researcher Bob Smith reported, ―53% of crime reports are ab out murder, but it is one of the least frequently committed crimes.‖ Another media study revealed that 42% of all local TV news broadcasts are stories about crime, disaster and war.
One possible reason for this is that local television news is ratings driven2. Some market research suggests that viewers like to see stories of crime and violence, which increases the ratings of newscasts. Higher ratings mean higher advertising revenues. Mike Adams, a television executive, explained, "The increase in crime reports is because, on average3, almost half the money a local station makes comes from news."
Many experts believe a steady diet of violence-oriented news broadcasts has serious effects. A spokesman for the National Television Violence Committee stated, ―The re are three main risks associated with viewing media violence. People learn aggressive behaviour. They become desensitised to real-world violence. These lead to an increased fear of being a victim of violence, resulting in mistrust of others.‖
11. The majority of people polled think that the news media is accurate.
12. There is not enough time to talk about a wider range of subjects on the news.
13. 53% of all crimes committed are murders.
14. Advertising companies invest in TV programmes with high ratings.
15. TV stations make too much money from news.

When Steven King published his book Riding the Bullet, around two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours. It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business, and it was a wake-up
call for the publishing industry.
An electronic book, or e-book, is simply a version of a book that allows you to store and display it digitally. There are already thousands of classic and best-selling titles available on websites such as https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0a18970644.html,.
E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit.You can also highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have bad eyesight. In fact, e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic.
Another advantage is that it lets you buy books in segments and carry them around easily, which should appeal to students. In fact, the University of South Dakota is planning to give hand-held devices to all its students to help them in their studies.
However, for all this, the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big. A recent report predicted sales of just 1.9 million in the next 5 years. And the reason? E-books are more difficult to read and they are just not as attractive as the printed word.
16. The writer warns that the publishing industry should be ready for an important change.
17. E-books will become much cheaper in the near future.
18. One advantage of e-books is that you can find the meanings of individual words
easily.
19. Students will use libraries less in the future.
20. Sales of e-books are expected to increase rapidly in the future.

Many people in the UK have done parachute or bungee jumps for charity. People like to help charities and if they can have a bit of fun at the same time then everyone is happy. Usually the person doing the jump has responded to an advertisement in the paper asking for volunteers. The person receives a sponsorship form from the charity, which they complete with the names of friends, relatives and colleagues who promise to give money to the charity if the person does the jump. Once the person has enough sponsorship, he or she will do the jump and usually receives a certificate to show their sponsors. The sponsors then pay their money to the charity.
21. If you want to parachute or bungee jump in the UK you must do it for a charity.
22. People like to have fun and help charities.
23. A lot of sponsorship is needed before you can do a jump.
24. People always receive a certificate after doing a parachute or bungee jump.

It is unusual these days for people not to have a TV, in fact many homes have two or three. However, more and more people are choosing to live without TV. The number of homes without a television in the UK has been growing steadily for over 10 years now. Many people choose not to have a TV because they are worried about their children. One parent, Joan, said, ? We got rid of our TV when our son was 4 because we found that he was more interested in watching television than playing, and we thought this wasn‘t healthy‘. Ma ny people think that not having a TV has improved their lives: ?Since selling our television my wife and I read more, talk more and have more time for our hobbies‘, said Paul, who has sold his TV. So, when people tell you that they cannot live without television, you can tell them that they are not following the latest trend!
